To you, being seen may mean opening yourself up to ridicule, judgments and being vulnerable to others.  To The Universe, opening yourself up to being seen may mean ridicule, judgments and being vulnerable to others.  “What is the difference?” I hear you ask.  The difference is in the way you view it.  If you can truly embrace and love yourself, what others think, do and say will not matter.  Be who you are, my beautiful child!  Joyfully challenge the status quo.  The Universe is there to support you! ~ Creator

Unlocking Magic in our Lives

by Jennifer Deisher

The curtain opens and the Magician steps onto the stage in front of a large audience as they wait with bated breath to see the show. We watch in Awe and Wonder as magic bursts forth in front of our very eyes. How do they do these things? We are always searching for the Magician’s Secret both on the stage and in our very own Lives. The brilliant thing about searching for Magic in our own Lives is that it is so very, very simple.

There is a key to unlocking Magic in our Lives in order to grow and learn in Spirit. The key is, and always has been, an “attitude of gratitude” but what does it really mean? We are human and spiritual BEings all at once and it is our great challenge in Life to balance our “ego” mind with our Spirit, or Heart center. We cannot be in “fear” and Love all at once as they cannot co-exist in the “higher realms” we seek to find which means we cannot be in “lack” and abundance at the same time either...

Highly effective and happy people share many of the same perspectives, habits and beliefs that separate them from the rest. They have acquired the behaviors that lead them to more fulfilling lives and a sense of abundance. All you have to do is bring some of these changes in your attitude towards life and you’ll see how simple it is to change your outlook on everything you do.

"My own understanding is: If you are living your present totally, out of this living will be born the next moment. You have taken care of the next moment by living this moment totally. Just think how logic can lead to foolish attitudes. The father is told that he has to sacrifice his life for the children, his father sacrificed his life for him. Neither he could live, nor he can live, nor his children are going to live, because they will be sacrificing their lives to their children. So everybody is sacrificing to somebody else. Strange. Then who is going to live?

So my insistence is live it! And out of your living experience the future will be born. If your living moment is of tremendous beauty and ecstasy, naturally you are creating future without any effort to create it. But if you are sacrificing to your children's future, deep down you will be resentful -- because your life is being destroyed by these children. And these children will be resentful towards you because you were continuously bragging that you sacrificed your life, and you will want that children should feel obliged to you. You would like your children to sacrifice their youth to your old age because you sacrificed. This is so stupid."

Many spices have powerful medicinal properties, which is why they’ve been used to promote healing for thousands of years prior to the advent of patented synthetic drugs.

Some spices are clearly more useful than others, and one “star player” within Nature’s pharmacy is turmeric, a yellow-pigmented curry spice often used in Indian cuisine. Turmeric also has a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.

Curcumin—one of its most well-studied bioactive ingredients—exhibits over 150 po...
