Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
About two years ago I was told by a medium that I had many spirit guides around me. She described them as standing behind me so I couldn’t move backward. That explained the feeling I had at the time of being pushed forward continually. In fact, prior to my 50th birthday I felt an urgency [...]
I write a lot about faith, but it’s a hard topic to discuss–to describe. People who don’t have faith can’t fathom it. Tonight, however, I watched a movie that had a great analogy for faith, albeit an unlikely one: the potato. Although Faith Like Potatoes was a bit too Christian in orientation for my tastes, [...]
A few weeks ago I went to the eye doctor for my annual exam. I discovered, once again, that my vision has gotten worse. In particular, my left eye has deteriorated–I was shocked how much. As I’ve waited for my new glasses to arrive, I’ve been acutely aware of the fact that I really don’t [...]
I hate to admit it, but over the last few years have found myself not practicing anything very spiritual. I haven’t practiced my religion. I haven’t practiced meditation. I haven’t practiced rituals. I haven’t practiced connecting to anything “higher” with my Tarot or Kabbalah cards or my pendulum. I haven’t observed Shabbat on a regular [...]
A strange thing happens to me when my life feels out of control in any way. I start cleaning. I don’t mean just dusting and vacuuming. I don’t do that much of that. (I admit that the one splurge I allow myself in my life is a person who actually cleans the house every two [...]
This past weekend I went to Ano Nuevo State Park to see the elephant seals. We were disappointed to discover that the adult male and female seals had already finished their mating season and taken to the sea. All that were left on the dunes were the “weaners,” the newly weaned babies, and some juvenile [...]
All day almost every day–about 15-7–I labor. When I’m not at my desk or in front of my computer, I think about my work. And guess what? Most of this time no on even pays me. So why do I do it? I love what I do (or most of what I do). I’ve wanted [...]
What does it mean to have a visual image of you? I’m not talking about a photo now. I’m talking about the hottest new social network around: Pinterest. I fought this one tooth and nail. No way. No how. Not another social network. No time. No energy. Not me. Then someone told me that as [...]
For many people, Valentine’s Day represents a lonely 24 hour period. Or it can be a sad day filled with grief over lost love . So what do you do if you aren’t in love on Valentine’s Day or if you don’t have anyone to spend it with? Or how do you make the holiday [...]
Do you ever question your beliefs about Your religion? Do you question God’s word, the value of the commandments, the teachings of the forefathers, the meaning of the rituals and prayers? They say the Jewish people are God wrestlers. We don’t always accept God’s word or anything to do with our religion without questions, without [...]
