Understanding the Human Aura “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ~ Nikola Tesla We often see painters showing a ball of light or halo around the heads of enlightened figures. This invisible, divine energy that actually surrounds every living thing in the universe, is the aura. There are times when you feel the positive or negative vibrations of an individual, that’s the aura of a person. It is a direct reflection of what exists deep within, our true selves and our physical, emotional and spiritual condition. It is scientifically proven that electromagnetic fields exist around every object in the known world. The aura surrounds the body in an oval-shaped field, also known as the Auric egg. The aura consists of seven layers or levels that correspond to the seven chakras. Mind Over Matter To bridge our understanding of the unseen world of energy, Princeton University and Dr Konstantin Korotkov, professor of physics at St. Fractal Enlightenment
The Role of the Service Leader Leading services is a ministry, and therefore it has various things in common with other ministries. We should strive to do it as well as we can, in order to glorify God and bless others by our service. Prayerful preparation is an important expression of this aim. It is not helpful to put together a service a few minutes before starting! Ministry reflects God's allocation of giftedness, and so those who do not have the gifts should not be encouraged to lead services. Our approach should be shaped by a servant mentality, with a willingness to be trained and critiqued by others. Formality and informality Services may be formal in the sense that they are not random or entirely spontaneous, but follow a preset pattern or form. The service leader has to strike the right balance between formality and informality in each particular situation. Preparation Start planning well beforehand, establishing an order of service and making decisions about how each element will be introduced and led. a.

The 10 Lies We Tell Ourselves “The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we’re afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it, we fear we’ll lose it. We fear that if we don’t have love we will be unhappy.” ~Richard Bach Most of us don’t like liars. 1. Correction- your past can haunt you if you let it. 2. There are no failures, just results. 3. There are two ways of being rich in happiness: One is to have all you want, the other is to be satisfied with all you have. 4. As John F Kennedy once said, “The Chinese symbol for the word “crisis” is written using two strokes of a pen. 5. You are never too old to go after what you want. 6. So many people believe this. 7. It’s a nice thought and useful if you’re a particularly self-centered individual but I don’t think it’s true. 8. Maybe one of the most frequent lies we tell ourselves. 9. We tell ourselves over and over again, “I need to be happy.” 10. Sometimes being selfish is healthy.
A Simple Exercise to Increase Well-Being and Lower Depression from Martin Seligman, Founding Father of Positive Psychology by Maria Popova You’ll need pen, paper, and a silencer for cynicism. “When [a man] has fair health, a fair fortune, a tidy conscience and a complete exemption from embarrassing relatives,” Henry James wrote in his diary, “I suppose he is bound, in delicacy, to write himself happy.” More than a mere philosophical contemplation, however, James’s observation presages the findings of modern psychology in the quest to reverse-engineer the art-science of happiness. Close your eyes. This somewhat self-consciousness-inducing exercise, Seligman promises, will make you happier and less depressed a mere month from now. We think too much about what goes wrong and not enough about what goes right in our lives. He then offers his empirically tested antidote: Every night for the next week, set aside ten minutes before you go to sleep. Flourish offers an invaluable existential boost in its entirety. Donating = Loving Bringing you (ad-free) Brain Pickings takes hundreds of hours each month. Share on Tumblr
Signs & Symptoms of a Spiritual Awakening Your rating: None Average: 4 (1 vote) Worldwide, political, economical, environmental and social events are taking place that are changing the way we think, feel and perceive our world as well as relate to one another.

12 Things You Are Doing To Sabotage Your Future I have mentored, counseled, encouraged, discouraged, hired and fired hundreds of people over the past 25 years. Oftentimes failure is less about a lack of talent or ability, and more about self sabotage. These are frequent road blocks I see in people, myself included. 1. You are lazy. Most of us default to indolence. 2. You start out great. 3. No one is going to pluck you from obscurity or discover you working at a diner. If you were going to advance your goals with the help of the people you hang out with right now then you’d already be on your way. 4. You know the answer to the question posed above: “What have you got to lose?” 5. Many of the cases I have won and most of the money I have made is because someone on the other side gave in. Know this: there are very few obstacles that cannot be overcome. 6. Stop complaining. 7. There was a busboy at one of my favorite restaurants who wanted to be a chef. 8. “You’ll never get that job.” 9. There’s no such thing. 10. 11. 12.
INFJ Relationships, Dating, Love, & Compatibility By Dr. A.J. Drenth INFJs are outwardly warm and engaging. Due to their extraversion of Feeling (Fe), they can readily ingratiate themselves to others. And while forming quick friendships and extensive connections may be the goal for some extraverts, for INFJs, this is not the point at all. Despite their status as introverts, there is little INFJs value more than quality conversation. Misunderstandings in INFJ Relationships & Dating INFJs commonly report feeling misunderstood. A common assumption among males is that all females have similar perspectives on romance. Another common misunderstanding is that INFJs are controlling or closed-minded. Nor is it the case that INFJs are overly controlling, or even want to be in control, in their relationships. Another misconception about INFJs is that they are emotionally “needy.” Yet another misunderstanding is the claim that INFJs “read into things that are not there” or “make mountains out of molehills.” Did you find this post helpful?
The Top 5 Regrets of The Dying A palliative nurse recorded the most common regrets of the dying and put her findings into a book called ‘The Top Five Regrets of The Dying.'

Instead, we can use the past as a reference point to understand what adjustments we would like to make moving forward. 1. “This was the most common regret of all. 2. “This came from every male patient that I nursed. 3. 4. 5.

Top 10 Awesome MacGyver Tricks That Speak For Themselves What is An Empath and What Are Their Traits Seen on: EnlightenedConsciousness An Empath is one who has an acute or highly developed sensitivity to the emotions and emotional states of themselves and others. An Empath is a person who was born with unique variations in the central nervous system. This means how the brain is configured and how the nervous system works in the body. An extremely high degree of overall sensitivity is the general indicator for this type of person. An Empath also possesses a very sensitive emotional nature, that is typically difficult to self-manage. They are sensitive to the visible as well as the invisible and pick up on body language and voice tone , telepathically picking up your thoughts and emotions including those you wish not to be known. Since Empaths are constantly bombarded by emotions which do not originate internally, they struggle to figure out why they feel the way that they do and therefore tend to have to have to be alone in their own space to relieve this. Empaths are born Empaths. Source
