It can happen in a multitude of ways yet always occurs seamlessly and painlessly. It’s probably the most profound, confusing, and utterly mind-blowing experience we can have while on this planet. As a professor and clinician in the field of psychology, I’ve had the pleasure of hearing hundreds of ways this has happened to people and each time, I’m thrilled and exhilarated to hear it again. I’m thrilled because it allows me to relive my own personal experiences, which have occurred in several different ways. Each time, it has left me with a certainty that one can only know through direct experience. This experience is that of leaving one’s own body and feeling the true essence of who we really are, separate from the physical body. The great mystery of life is set free.

It is very difficult not to have regrets in life, and only very few people can achieve having no regrets. In order to have no regrets, you need to be courageous enough to make mistakes, learn from them, and accept that you are an imperfect being, learning and evolving each and every day to become the better version of yourself. Here are 7 signs showing that you are the type of person that definitely has no regrets in life:

1. You don’t hold grudges to people who might have behaved in a bad manner toward you. You realize that holding grudges are just bitter regrets and prefer to forgive people and move forward in life with compassion and kindness to all beings.

2. You love openly. You don’t hide your feelings or emotions to people, and you are ready to give a big hug to anyone that truly needs it. You realize that life is not meaningful without love, and you are open to give and receive love, even if sometimes this might cause you pain.

“Remember to breathe. It is, after all, the secret of life.” ~ Gregory Maguire

Prana or life force is the vital energy that keeps the body alive, and channeling that energy to the different organs in our body is equally important to maintain a state of good health. Our bones are living organs too that provide structure for our body, protect all our important organs and help us nourish our entire body by producing red and white blood cells.

An ancient Taoist practice that uses this life force to restore health and give strength to the bones, is ‘Bone Breathing’. The practice uses breathing and visualization to bring more healing Qi into the bones and joints.

Mantak Chia, a taoist master known for his teaching Taoist practices under the names of Healing Tao, Tao Yoga, Universal Healing Tao System and Chi Kung, in his book, Iron Shirt Kung I, Chia spoke about the potentiality of Bone breathing, “Bone Breathing or bone compression is the method of “Cleansing the Marrow”, or cleaning out fat in the bone marrow so that you can direct and absorb the creative (sexual) energy into the bone to help regrow the bone marrow.”

He also mentioned that bones are highly porous and are always breathing; just like a sponge sucks water, bones suck in oxygen, nutrition and blood.

Social and cultural change is occurring fast right now across this planet, and it looks as if it will accelerate further. Many people are experiencing a wide range of personal impacts, disruptions, and rearrangements in their lives. At the same time, we are also seeing how our social infrastructures, modes of communication, and connectivity are adjusting and shifting to these changes. Within the last 150 years alone we have witnessed an amazingly rapid process of transition in human civilization, perhaps even without being consciously aware of it. In terms of the bigger picture, this is an incredibly swift rate of change.

The ebb and flow of human history has cradled the gradual unfolding of the individual and the growing responsibility that this implies. This emerging ‘blooming of the individual’ has occurred alongside the story of the slow decline in aristocracy, elite rule, and the demise of tyranny. This human story has accelerated in recent centuries, with the fall of feudalism; the birth of democracy; and the growth of an increasingly connected global humanity. Alongside this we have also seen the increasing acceptance and sharing of planetary values. We could say that human society is in the early contractions of the birth of a planetary civilization.

“A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” ~ William Shakespeare

The energy of The Fool is one we can all identify with. For most of us, there is a lot of embarrassment, shame, humiliation, panic, and anxiety around the idea of being the center of attention for all the wrong reasons. It can feel as though the entire universe is pointing and laughing.

The avoidance of the energy of The Fool is a built-in part of our navigation system. So, wanting to steer clear of situations that might put us in that unpleasant position, many of us suppress our natural desire for free expression, particularly in social situations.

Dear Ones, as you navigate shifting energies, your attitude about those energies will have much to do with how enjoyable you find the experience.

Think of being on a roller coaster ride. If you are resisting, in fear, and completely focused on it being a horrible experience, you will find the ride long, bumpy, and thoroughly unpleasant. If you embrace the experience, feel the exhilaration and approach it with an attitude of fun, you will throw your hands up in the air and enjoy every twist and turn.

Make no mistake, you will end up at the finish no matter how you approach the experience, but it is totally up to you how much you enjoy the ride. ~Archangel Gabriel

Intuition is the language of the soul. We’re all born aware with a profound sense of inner knowing. It’s one of the greatest gifts we possess, which keeps us connected to our higher selves, the universe, and to our divine spirit. At one time or another, we will all experience flashes of intuition, especially when it’s vying for our attention. It’s those hunches, or gentle nudges, that we so often ignore or try to wave off as being simply our imagination – only to find out later that it was correct.

Intuition is natural and you have to realize that we’re all equipped with a complex and highly tuned inner-guidance system, which we can access and use anytime we wish. Receiving intuitive information is all about energy, and people, places, and objects are all comprised of it. Since you too are energy, you can receive and read information via your intuitive senses.

God said:

Odds are that you see offense where there is none. Odds are that you see a picture from your past rather than a picture from the present, and you unconsciously react to the picture you see in your mind and not to what is before you. The person before you, somehow, reminds you of your mother or your father or a sister or brother who didn’t value you. You continue to feed on the past sacrilege of you. A pattern appears in your life, and it’s hard to shake. You feed upon what once was. You are looking for justice from an innocent party.

On the other hand, someone can take offense at what you say, and you are standing there with your mouth open – “Wha…? I absolutely meant no offense. I wasn’t putting you down. I had no such idea in my head. Not at all.” Now you feel discounted because the person you were talking to transposed an earlier offense from his past onto you and faulted you.

And, in turn, when you are offended, your interpretation is also far off. It is like there is a little camera within your mind that overlays the actual snapshot with a camera shot from the past that was and should not have been.

Will you admit that you are sometimes too quick to take offense? You can trace what triggers your upset. What offends you falls into certain categories, most often in areas of your competency.
