What is a miracle? What role, if any, do traditional psychotherapies ascribe to the power of the divine to effect healing. Until and unless the role of divine energy can be recognised for its true role in our lives any attempts at healing will fall short of our intentions.

Do you ever wonder if a life of faith is worth it? I once read that is a mark that you're living right, and perhaps it is. Still, it's difficult to look around and see people getting away with acting in ways that are clearly in defiance of our faith - and getting away with it! Fortunately, we know that the Lord also sees this, and we are assured that He will deal with it in His way and timing. This story tells how to find humor in such frustrating situations, and how to rest in knowing that in the end, it will all work out for good.

If we will abide in the Word, the Word will instruct us and teach us in the way we should go (Psalm 32:8). He will also guide us to pray according to His will and our prayers will have a guaranteed effect.

“Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest…”

So, none of us arrived with an Owner’s Manual, neatly referenced to enable us to look up our ails, appreciate where we are, and, understand what is next. We expected its indelible validation to enable us to navigate some of the more fearful and exhilarating moments in our lives.

I had visions of my daughter for about five years before she finally showed up. She turned out exactly like the little girl in my dreams who had haunted me all that time. I was so very glad to see th...

Wouldn't it be really cool if all you had to do is ask for something and then it is yours? Well, you can. Let me show you how.

Traditional psychotherapy/psychoanalysis fails to address the all-important relationship to one's true spiritual nature. Traditional spiritual practice often bypasses -and thus fails to transform - the psychological conditional patterns and unconscious beliefs that arise from our personal histories and adaptations.

Life is full of ups and downs. There is a time to sow and a time to reap. You cannot sow and reap at the same time. Everyone is born with the purpose.

Knowing what is right and what is wrong in your own inner consciousness is insufficient. It is not the knowing of truth that transforms a person; it is the doing of truth that has an impact on you and on the other people that you interact with...

There was a time in my life when I seriously wondered whether there was intelligent life on other planets. As a child, I believed that we human beings here on the planet Earth were God's only children. I learned early on how special we were: we were made in God's image, to look after His planet. There was no other force in the universe (which I envisioned as a big, black void with our planet in the center) that could compare to us...

Man has suddenly re-awakened to the fact that he is part of a vast cosmos, and that we are not just a speck of dust on a chunk of matter, revolving around the sun. With this new dawn and with cosmic realization our questioning mind will find answers to some of mans most demanding questions.

One of the most difficult barriers to overcome on the path to spiritual growth is extracting yourself from the tenacious grip of the Ego Story. Unsuspectingly, many people are mesmerized and possessed by this mental illusion...

The basic problem with panic attacks is that they may occur with or without any known cause. If you can pinpoint what has triggered the panic attack in the first place, preventing it next time becomes rather easy.

A Canadian Scientist, Hans Selye (1907-1982), observed that individuals who suffered from chronic diseases revealed some symptoms related to it. This time, the experiment on rats was done. When rats are exposed to various physical trauma factors - shock, poison, high temperature, and noise, their glands enlarged, and thymus gland and lymph nodes shrunken. Selye then created the three Stages of Stress Response consisting alarm, resistance and exhaustion.

Here are some tips for preventing panic attacks or, at the least, reducing the harmful side effects experienced when you suffer from a panic attack.

Symptoms of illness are a way of telling us that something isn't right. When this applies to stress it is effectively the body's call to change how we doing things or find an outlet for the stress. This article discusses some stress related illnesses and how to deal with them.

Stress plays a huge part in all of our lives now, we all face challenges (good and bad) and obstacles, and when it gets too much, when we are past our comfort zone, then stress manifests. It can be good sometimes, personally I work best when I am slightly stressed, it pushes you to work faster and stay focussed on the task at hand, but too much stress can have detrimental effects.

Stress is always present in a modern lifestyle, we are hooked on instant gratification and ever more powerful technology, which inevitably leads to stress and frustration when our needs are not met. We get stressed at work and we get stressed at home, we get stressed in the car - is there anywhere we can go to relax?

We never seem to have the time to do anything that we enjoy because one thing or another interferes with our plans. This not only creates quite a bit of stress in our lives, it also makes us less productive as individuals.

Time is the modern man's curse. In order to stay at the top of the food chain, you have to be competitive. You have to thrive in challenges, which would also inadvertently mean that you have to function pretty much like a robot. So that means you have to act indifferently even in the face of crisis. You should be arbitrary when it comes to decision-making. You should be professional.

It all started well for Russell. Like a growing number of busy 21st century managers, he wanted more balance. He counted himself lucky when he and his wife worked out they could afford him to cut back to four days a week. His own manager, although hesitant, opted to support him rather than risk losing years of knowledge and experience. But would it last?
