When asked, people in palliative care, people who are near the end of their lives, are open about their lives. When faced with mortality, you grow the most as a person. Everyone experiences a host of emotions when faced with the end, and everyone has a regret or two. Here are the five most common:

1. I wish I had been true to myself.

We’re faced with pressure all the time to conform to what society wants us to be, but how often has that stepped on who you want to be? Honor yourself and be true to yourself. Don’t live the life others expect from you.

2. I wish I hadn’t worked so much.

Civilization is a way of life that has rewarded us with ease of living, but we have to work hard for it. People at the end of their lives often express the regret of working so much. They worked their lives away. It’s important to have something to do, but we’re saddled with impressive debts and the demand for production. Take some time to simplify your life. Create more space in your life and be open to opportunities that might fit your style a bit better.

When you meet pitfalls in life, no matter how awful they are, you have to – absolutely have to - forget about blame.

Blame is not the issue. The issue is to move forward. If you don’t want to stay in a situation, then you have to change your direction. You can blame all you want. You can blame Me, yet where does this get you?

Nor are you to blame yourself. Blame of any kind doesn’t get you where you want to be.

Let’s say you have been sentenced to life in prison, and you are totally innocent. This is so unjust. You are innocent, yet somehow you were found guilty, sometimes, of exactly what, you are not sure. Being found guilty while innocent has happened more than once.

What are you going to spend your energy on? An injustice has been done. You are blamed for something you did not do. You are left holding the bag. Dear One, you absolutely have to get out of the blame game from any direction and on every level.

There are innocent people who have literally been in prison for a crime they did not commit. Some have been vindicated later and freed from prison. Some have come out of prison after forty years.

And, yet, some have not gotten out of prison and have risen above and made something of themselves and their lives in prison. They gained and helped others gain. Hey, what good does bitterness do anyone? What benefit is there for anyone in bitterness? Why would you want to spend your life bitter and be toxic to yourself?

HJ: Your health is in large part a reflection of the health of your Chakras.  Therefore it is extremely important to set aside time to keep them healthy, just like you would spend time exercising and eating everyday.  These simple, but powerful healing exercises will do just that — give your Chakras an energetic tune up.

Chakra Charging

By Stephen H. Barrett | Chios Healing

After gaining a complete idea of the condition of the patient’s chakra system, the first step you may wish to employ in treating it is to charge any chakras which require charging. Chakras that are undercharged are in need of having the strength and purity of their functioning restored. Charging them back into a normal, healthy state where they glow with the vibrancy and purity of their true color is necessary for the energetic health of the patient’s entire energy field, and serves as a good foundation upon which further energy healing work may then be done.

I think musicians are some of the most influential people in the world. Every day, billions of people are being motivated and inspired through their favorite artists. An artist doesn’t have to have a million different fans to make a profound difference in other people’s lives, but only a handful of committed and devoted followers. Some of my favorite bands have fewer than 2,000 likes on Facebook, and some truly powerful artists I’ve encountered are all but unknown.

Artists are powerful because of their inherent grasp of emotion and of feeling. Musicians wouldn’t make music unless it made them feel something; music is what feeling sounds like. Untold movements have been propelled through feeling, and not all of them good. I’m mentioning this because, whether an artist realizes it or not, their work has profound impacts through their mastery of emotion. I want artists to reconsider what they are filling their music with and how it affects people’s lives. I want musicians to consider whether the content of their music is creating a world of peace, or if it is influencing war.

The question could emerge in many of us, whether the spiritual Ego is a supporter or an obstructor of the spiritual development. Can it meddle in the process of spiritual development, and if yes, then how does it do it? According to us, the spiritual Ego can interfere with innumerable tricks in the life of the spiritual seeker. These spiritual tricks are manifested in various spiritual mind games. Some of the most important ones are discussed below.

1. The Self-Developing Mind Game

The Spiritual Ego says: “Look for truth! Develop your personality to make it the most sophisticated possible! Be spiritual!”

The Ego-dominated mind keeps coming up with new and new programmes: “Do this! Do that! Then all your problems will be solved.” You try to obey, but in the meanwhile you are wasting your entire life.
