I Cried, Shivered And Shook During A Past-Life Regression
Recently, I’ve had a lot of people ask me about past-life regression. I’ve had so many, in fact, that I thought I’d share with you the story about my first experience. Because I never expected it to work for me, you may relate to my experience and feel inspired to try it for yourself. It definitely had a life-changing effect on me.

Condition Yourself to Love Unconditionally
by Mary Jo Shaffer
Even in the healthiest of relationships, opportunities abound to find fault, criticize or "tweak" the other person no matter whether we are talking about a mate, a child or a friend. Most of us were raised in an environment where rather than focusing on the positive, we were taught to zoom in and dwell on the negative. Breaking that habitual way of thinking is a matter of conditioning our minds to refocus and learn to love with abandon, without any requirements, without any rules and without any limitations.
Here is our list of top ten ways to condition yourself to love
unconditionally.

Exploring Your Psychic Type
by Sherrie Dillard M. Div.
The ancient Chinese text, “The Tao Te
Ching” is the most translated classic of all time next to the Bible. It was written somewhere around 300 BC and attributed to Lao
Tzu, the great Chinese philosopher. It is the source of the legendary saying “Without going out of doors one may know the whole world; without looking out of the window, one may see the Way of Heaven. The further one travels, the less one may know. Thus it is that without moving you shall know; without looking you shall see; without doing you shall achieve.”
Perhaps this is a reference to our innate intuitive ability, our inner resource of knowing, seeing, and being. Our intuition, when developed, blossoms into extrasensory or psychic perception, revealing to us a rich vast inner reservoir of possibilities and potential. We may indeed access all of the world through turning within.

A New Approach
To Igniting And Sustaining Creativity
by Anne Paris, PhD
Mary squirmed in her chair as she continued, “I just don’t know what is wrong with me. Why can’t I just do it? I feel stressed all the time when I’m not writing. ‘I should be writing’, I say to myself, but I don’t. I think, if I just get the laundry done, then I’ll be free to sit down and write the next chapter. But then I don’t. Maybe I need to exercise first, and I go for a run. I get back home, fully intending to sit down at the computer. But I don’t. And all the while I’m feeling bad and stressed about not writing. What is wrong with me? Maybe I’m just lazy. Or maybe unconsciously I don’t really want to write. Or maybe it just means that I’m not really cut out to be a writer. ‘Writers write’, I tell myself.
Through thousands of hours of psychotherapy with artists, I have found that most are quite familiar with the experience of being artistically blocked, or of procrastinating and avoiding their creative work. “If only I weren't so distractible” or “I must not really want to succeed” are common complaints I’ve heard. These blocks can lead to non-productivity as well as to more serious problems such as depression and addictions.

Are you a physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual intuitive? Take Dillard's insightful quiz to find out. Discover more about each type's intuitive nature, personality, potential physical weaknesses, and more. There are guided meditations for each kind of intuitive, as well as exercises to hone your psychic skills. Remarkable stories from the author's professional life illustrate the incredible power of intuition and its connection to the spirit world, inner wisdom, and your higher self.
From psychic protection to spirit guides to mystical states, Dillard offers guidance as you evolve toward the final destination of every psychic type: union with the divine.
Sherrie Dillard is a psychic-medium clairvoyant, author and teacher with clients in Europe, Latin America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Middle East as well as the United States. Though her psychic abilities emerged when she was just a young girl, Sherrie has also worked as a fiber artist, having learned the skill of weaving while working for a charitable organization in indigenous villages in Latin America. During this time, she was continuously given the intuitive message to become a professional psychic and medium, but ignored this calling until a car accident injury left her unable to weave or silk paint. She has now been a professional psychic and medium for over 20 years.

In the beautiful coastal city of Recife, Brazil - a world capital for sex tourism - a couple of determined women decided they would try to break the cycle of domestic violence and get kids off the streets. Hummingbird goes onto the streets and sees the harsh reality these kids face and shows how these programs help break the cycle, giving people a chance.
After reading an article about the child sex trafficking industry, Holly Mosher began to research this little talked about problem. During that search, she came across two remarkable programs that work directly with street children in the beautiful coastal city of Recife, Brazil - a worldwide hub for sex tourism.
Hummingbird goes onto the street to see the reality of these kids, and then goes into the programs to see just how these high risk kids can be helped. Although the recovery process is slow - it can be successful.

"We must enhance the light, not fight the darkness."
~ Aharadon David Gordon
"The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot
come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or
event--through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to
you--ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from
consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are."
~ Eckhart Tolle
"We drop like pebbles into the ponds of each other's souls, and
the orbit of our ripples continues to expand, intersecting with
countless others."

June 20 - June 22, 2008: The Presence Process:
A Healing Journey Into Present Moment Awareness |
| Following Michael Brown’s simple step-by-step Presence Process, using techniques previously available only to spiritual adepts, we become empowered to heal the ghosts from our past and live liberated lives, right now.
Brown leads us on an animated journey to retrace the entry of our awareness into our current experience of the adult world. Focusing specifically on the energetic condition of our heart, then and now, we observe how it is reflected in our moment-to-moment mental state and physical condition. We then learn to use emotional body awareness to heal the wounds of the heart that negatively impact our daily life.
Reawakening our authenticity, integrity, and intimacy, the heart work of the Presence Process allows us to effortlessly and joyously participate in every moment.

July 4 - July 6, 2008: The Bodhisattva, the Peaceful Spiritual Warrior:
10 Transformative Practices for Enlightened Living |
| The bodhisattva is the ultimate social and spiritual activist who dedicates all of his or her life and lifetimes to the highest good for the greatest number—transforming oneself, transforming the world.
In this retreat with Surya Das, one of the nation’s foremost Buddhist meditation masters, we learn the Buddhist’s 10 principles of enlightened living, known in Sanskrit as the “10 paramitas” (10 transcendental virtues). These virtues show us how to become the best self and truest noble being that we can be through this sacred path of awakening our innately good, warm heart and enlightened mind.
Through meditation, self-inquiry, discussions, chanting, and question-and-answer sessions, Surya Das shows us how to bring the boddhisattva’s ways of enlightened living into our daily life at home, at work, and in our communities. Beginners to meditation as well as longtime practitioners are invited.

Conference Exploring the Evidence of Life After Death with Psychic
Medium John Holland, Brian Weiss, MD, Raymond A. Moody, Jr., MD,
