The Way To A New Future

I just returned from Homeless Connect Day in San Francisco, a huge event attended by more than 2,400 homeless people searching for help. I had the opportunity to talk with some of them and hear what they had to say, what they felt and how it is to be without a home.

When I read about the economic criminals on Wall Street and their servants in our governments, I think of the homeless people, the people I meet on the street. They are the… Continue

The JAW

These exercises are performed sitting

The Dark Side of the Moon

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

In July 1969, Apollo 11's Mike Collins found himself circling the moon many times in the Command Module while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were transported to the moon's surface in the Lunar Module. They then spent time there walking on the moon and doing various activities as they were required to do.

Neil and Buzz were in the in the full glare of the public eye in all their procedures on the moon while Mike Collins continued on his alone… Continue

Take a bit of time to absorb each instructions before incorporating the next.

Lying down, find a comfortable position in which you can completely let go, into stillness. Use as many pillows as you wish. Begin by releasing all nerve and muscle force of the jaw, down and very slightly back, and turning the tip of the tongue up toward the palate.… Continue

How to Stay Open during Times of Change

One of the keys that I have found helps me immensely during periods of change, is the ability to surrender to what is, no matter how unsettling it may feel. I simply allow the situation to become part of the greater plan. I remain flexible and shift gears if necessary, perhaps revaluating my immediate goals and how I am going to achieve them.

I have also come to realize that a new level of flexibility is required each time I make a decision to grow. Once change has begun, it triggers… Continue

murder victims' families for reconciliation

I invite people to visit our web site...MVFR.org. We are a group of family members of homocide victims and of executions who are against the death penalty. Our role in the abolition movement is to tell our stories. MVFR's strategy is to partner with active state groups and lend our voices to counter those who say we need the death penalty for victims' family members. Our voices were heard by legislators and governors in New Jersey and New Mexico, states who have recently repealed the death… Continue

Weekly Tidbit: Emotional Intelligence

People tend to think of their cognitive brain as the source of their intelligence. Our society has devised highly structured IQ tests to measure "intelligence" and our educational systems focus pretty much on left brain thinking. Perhaps emphasis is on the superiority of logical thought because it can be manipulated more easily than emotional intuition. Or maybe the reason most people believe that logic is more important than emotion is that we don't understand the connection between the… Continue

Day of Doing Nothing

Hi All!

I am posting an article I found on Mayanmajix.com. I resonated with the idea and thought that this was something that needs to happen. The article inspired me to get this message out to you all to see if we can do something to assist humanity in the most effective way of transformation. This could be the ultimate in a Ghandi way of a peaceful sit in to let the powers that be know that we are done with all this nonsense. Please join in and bring your thoughts and energy to… Continue

Now a new business has been launched that does away with these barriers, and… Continue
