HJ: Dreams are a combination of messages and imagery originating in both the subconscious mind and higher realms of existence (astral plane) and therefore are very much worth remembering and learning to interpret, as they have many important insights and meanings for us if we are wise enough to listen, learn and understand.  This article by the always venerable Judith Orloff is all about doing just that. Enjoy.

How To Remember and Interpret Your Dreams

Learn how to remember and interpret your Dreams.

Dreaming is a direct line to a place where magic abounds and nothing is without meaning. It is a pristine state...

1. There is a single definition of success.

And it involves an established career, large house, acceptable body shape, marriage and annual holidays.

Everyone has their own path to walk in this life, and what brings true meaning and deep fulfilment differs for all of us.

Let go of your need to fit to the status quo. Live, work, date, play, create, travel, eat, drink, move, laugh and sing in ways that feel right with your soul. That is true success.

2. Life is meant to be hard work.

Life is meant to be easy, beautiful and overflowing with moments of joy and bliss.

The more you listen to your soul and build a life that’s true to you, the more your actions will feel completely natural and effortless.

If life is a constant struggle, you’re running on empty and you dread Mondays, it’s time to take an honest look at your life – in a loving way.

3. Life happens to us...

When I decided to start listening to my heart, I found out it had a lot to say. Some of my heart’s messages were cranky. (Dear You, Wake me up when you’re done sabotaging yourself for the millionth time. Love, Your Heart)

Some were demanding. (Dear You, Get your ass to yoga. Love, Your Heart)

But the majority of messages were so loving and gentle that they brought tears to my eyes. (Dear You, Thank you, brave soul, for your willingness to keep showing up. Love, Your Heart)

Since the release of Dear You: Messages From Your Heart, many readers have asked me how they too can listen to their inner voice. Here are five experiments you can try to access the wisdom of your own heart.

5 Ways to Talk to Your Heart

#1: Ask your heart directly.

I enjoy walking. I live in a pretty neat neighborhood overall, so I experience some interesting sights, run into people I know, and meet new people too! All the while, I’m actually making myself healthier. It turns out, you don’t have to go into “beast mode” or crossfit until you shit yourself in order to make yourself healthier. Walking helps you:

1. Lose weight. 10,000 steps a day sets off a weight loss chain reaction in your body.
2. Reverse the effects of prolonged sitting. Taking a break from work to walk around for five minutes is profoundly helpful.
3. Lower your breast cancer risk, according to research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
4. Boost the immune system. Perfect for cold and flu season!
5. Ease Fibromyalgia pain...

You may be waiting……waiting for a grand sign, the fireworks, an audible and booming voice from beyond or an epiphany that rocks your reality before moving forward.  Those thing are employed only when you have missed or have refused to see the small and beautiful signs all around you each and every day.  If you take just a moment and shift your awareness you will begin to recognize them for what they truly are; communications of Unconditional Love and support from The Universe specifically designed and made just for you. ~ Creator

What does it mean to become more conscious? It is the progressive realization of conscious mastery over your mind.

The challenge is that it takes consciousness to grow consciousness. But you needn’t worry about this because you already have the seed. Think of it like fire. You have a flame, and you want to turn that flame into a huge blaze. How do you do it? You add fuel. The following list includes examples of how you can add fuel to your flame of consciousness to become a raging inferno of consciousness. Well, OK, the analogy sort of falls apart there, but you get the idea.

So here are 10 ways to raise your consciousness:
1. Truth

Truth raises your consciousness. Falsehood lowers it.
