The stroke of midnight is here. Prepare yourselves for a quantum leap in consciousness. …..

What is next for us cosmically? The huge Mayan shift back in 2012 has definitely left us with something to think about, but is anyone really aware of just what that shift filled with subtle nuances entails? How do we identify with anything subtle in this not-so-subtle world?

Why aren’t we seeing the effects of a shift in the world? Doesn’t it feel as if things have just gotten far worse lately? Well this is largely because the shift was like Y2K on steroids and most of us didn’t even know it. Sure we went right back to resuming our normal daily lives because well, ahem, (shuff...

I have been deeply moved over the tragic passing of Robin Williams and the outpouring of love that has ensued. The beauty of this wonderful man and how profoundly he affected so many is almost overwhelming and has brought many to tears, including myself. What his life represented is being mirrored in the souls of others and is so very heartening to witness, even in these tragic circumstances.

I read through yesterday’s tabloid Daily Mail article with its moving tributes, pictures and ...

10 Choices You Won’t Regret in 10 Years

By Marc Chernoff | Marc and Angel

–

I don’t regret the things I’ve done.
I regret the things I didn’t do when I had the chance.

In the end, more than anything else, we regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were too afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

Think about it…

The big opportunity you procrastinated on.  That friend you never called.  Those important wor...

Healing is resetting yourself back into your divine blueprint of perfect health. It is stepping into your alignment of shimmering wellness. You cannot find such a place of well-being if you are clinging to what is wrong, powerlessness, victim consciousness or fear. Healing is a flow that you cannot enter if you are still in such resistance. The way beyond resistance is surrender, Dear Ones, so surrender to whole health, and know that your soul knows exactly what to do to get you there. ~Archangel Gabriel

Shame is defined as a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.
Just for today, look very closely at any shame you are holding. Is it necessary? Is it Self or Other created? How does it serve you? If it is an internally generated, be gentle with and forgive yourself. If it is external, think on how much of it is really yours. Please remember; you do not have to feel shame to identify with those around you. Release it and grow! ~ Creator

Fermented tea known as kombucha has been rapidly growing in popularity among health food lovers.  But it’s actually been around for thousands of years.  It originated in China in the third century B.C.  Then it made its way to Russia, India, and Japan where it became a staple among Samurai warriors.  Today it is also popular in Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Indonesia and many other cultures.

Kombucha – or “the booch” to its fans – is made from green, black or white tea.  It’s fermented for at least a w...

One could debate the overall merits or failings of robotic systems, but one area that clearly has become a point for concern on all sides is the idea of “killer robots.” According to robotics pioneer, David Hanson, we are on a collision course with exponential growth in computing and technology that might only give us a “few years” to counter this scenar...

Your heart is designed to thrive. You have a mighty heart. It is not a wimp. No, it is not. Your heart is a stronghold of love. Your heart thrives on love. There is nothing else worthy for your heart to do but to thrive on love. The food of your heart is love. Nothing else is.
 
Remove all constraints from your heart. Your heart is not to wear a girdle. You do not gird your heart. You free it. Free your heart. Free the whales. Free everything. Free your heart from ungainly servitude to false gods such as sufferance, vanity, lack, inhibition, and distress. Love your heart. Love this Holy Conveyance of Love. Love your heart, and set it free. Set your heart free once and for all. Take no hostages.
 
Free your heart, and you free all hearts. You set the pace of your heartbeat. Set it not fast or slow. Set it high on the love meter. What have you been doing? You have tightened your heart. You have pulled a noose around it. Have you not constrained your heart? Haven’t you given it fearful rules? Have you not choked your heart until it submits to your rule?
