5 Life Changing Truths Your Soul Wants You To Remember

May 7, 2015 Submitted By You 1 Comment

When it comes to living life, we spend almost 100% of our time living as an avatar. We have an ego, a personality, a history, preferences, dislikes, beliefs, opinions, cultural viewpoints, and experiences. These ingredients comprise our ‘person’ and our worldly sense of self. But beneath all of these human ingredients lies one which is the foundation of all of them. Without this ingredient, this avatar would not exist. This ingredient is the soul.

The soul is timeless, eternal, and infinitely wise. Our “intuition” is really just our soul whispering into the ear of our person. You soul is not separate from you, but it will feel separate if you live life operating only from a personal or egoic level of consciousness. Since the soul is the fountainhead of wisdom of guidance, it is always trying to communicate with us, especially in times where we are experiencing great suffering.

Here are 5 encouraging things your soul wants you to know:

1) You are meant to feel deeply

You are meant to REALLY feel. Don’t hold back your tears, and don’t think it is wimpy, soft, or overly sensitive to expressive yourself.

It is healthy to feel deeply and to give yourself permission to experience the richness of human emotion. Feel love. Feel sadness.

Don’t walk in between as you daydream, really take the time to amerce yourself in the moment. This is what life is all about.

2) You are here to experience life

You are here to experience the fullness of life. The ups and downs. When all is said and done, you won’t care about your bank account, your material possessions, or the empty house you leave behind. All you will care about is whether or not you took the time to appreciate the miracle of life. You are alive.

Nobody knows why the universe exists, how it got here, or why consciousness exists, but here you are as a product of this grand mystery. Have fun. Live life. It’s too short of a journey to not appreciate the experiences, relationships, and memories you have here. Continue reading →

3 Signs You’re On The Wrong Path & How to Get Back To The Right One

May 6, 2015 Submitted By You 1 Comment

Some may say that there is no such thing as the “wrong” path, and that every path is the right path. But is this true? Are we really being honest with ourselves when we say this? From personal experience, I know what it feels like to be on the “wrong path”. By “wrong”, I am referring to a path that does not suit you, serve you, or bring your soul alive. You know in your heart, soul, and mind that there is something bigger and better out there for you.

These paths only serve the purpose of redirecting us to a more ideal path, and they provide us insight into what we don’t want out from life. When we pay attention to the little feelings that bubble up in our soul, we can live a life that is guided by our intuition. A life guided by your intuition is never the wrong path.

Here are 3 signs you may not be on the right path in life:

1) You feel empty inside

You feel empty and unfulfilled inside.

You aren’t excited to wake up in the morning, and you feel like you will be unhappy for the rest of your life if things continue on the same way as they do.

If you feel like your current life is unsustainable for the rest of your life, and that if things don’t change you will go through your whole life miserable, then something has to change. Continue reading →

Meditation Vs Medication: 10 Reasons Why Meditation Is Better Than Taking Pills

April 28, 2015 Submitted By You Leave a comment

Meditation is nature’s best healer. It allows the body to reach a state of harmonic resonance, which puts the body into a state of regeneration. When people feel ill, they often turn towards prescription medication without a second thought. But what if meditation could cure and even prevent some diseases?

90% of all diseases and illnesses are either caused or aggravated by stress, and meditation is a great way to reduce the impact negative emotions have on our bodies and nervous systems. A shift in consciousness causes a shift in biology, and when you are peaceful and calm during meditation, you release chemicals such as seratonin, oxytocin, and dopamine which help stabilize the immune system and regenerate your energy systems. It also prevents the release of things like adrenaline and cortisol, which are completely taxing to the body.

Did you know that meditation is scientifically proven to:

1. Overcome stress (University of Massachusetts Medical School, 2003)

2. Boost your creativity (ScienceDaily, 2010)

3. Improve your sex life and increase your libido (The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2009)

4. Cultivate healthy habits that lead to weight loss (Journal Emotion, 2007)

5. Improve digestion and lower blood pressure (Harvard Medical School)

6. Decrease your risk of heart attack (The Stroke Journal, 2009)

7. Help overcome anxiety, depression, anger and confusion (Psychosomatic Medicine,

8. Decrease perception of pain and improve cognitive processing (Wake Forest University School of Medicine, 2010)

9. Increase your focus and attention (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2007)

10. Increase the size of your most important organ – your brain! (Harvard University Gazette, 2006)

Mediation has also been show to reduce the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease by almost 50% (American Heart Association, 2012). What man-made pill can do that?

“There is a true biological effect,” said Dr. Denninger, director of research at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, one of Harvard Medical School’s teaching hospitals. “The kinds of things that happen when you meditate do have effects throughout the body, not just in the brain.”

In a day and age where medication is not cheap, and prescription drugs kill 100,000 people each year, it’s time we embrace a cheaper and more natural alternative form of healing into our medical community. Keep in mind, meditation is not just about healing the body. It DOES do miracles for the body, but to be honest, the physical benefits are usually the last reasons why people meditate.

Meditation also leads people to self-discovery, inner peace, mental clarity, spiritual/emotional balance, and is the best thing you could do if you are experiencing a period of suffering or confusion in your life. Unlike pills, meditation also contributes to mental, emotional and spiritual health.

Now don’t get me wrong. Western medicine is a miracle, and if you need to take antibiotics or some other kind of medication for a health problem you have, then take it. But nowadays, you can walk into a hospital and be like “I just feel like, icky and weird and I don’t know…” and they’ll sell you medications without even knowing what the issue is. Meditation, combined with a clean diet and exercise, is a surefire way to turn your illness around without side effects.

The 6 Types Of Friends That Are Always Worth Fighting For

April 27, 2015 Steven Bancarz Leave a comment

Throughout our life, we meet people on our journey who are unforgettable. As we develop friendships with people, we grow with them, hold each other accountable, and encourage one another to grow and evolve. It’s interesting that the same archetypal friends appear in everyone’s life, as if it’s woven into the template of the universe that each soul will experience certain characters on their journey.

The older you get, the more you realize how important friendships are. When it comes down to it, life is about loving relationships. It’s not about the rat race, proving your point, or building a cozy nest for yourself. Without relationships, live becomes empty. This is why it is so important to recognize the people in your life who are worth fighting for.

Here are 7 archetypal friends that are worth fighting for in life

1) The generous one

The one who gives more often than they take.

They want to make sure everyone is happen and content with their end of the deal.

From big things like buying you gifts out of nowhere, to little things like letting you take shotgun in the car, the generous one is an inspiration that service to others is the happiest path you could take in life.

2) The listener

The one who is always down for a heart-to-heart. They want to help you through your pain, and enjoy acting as a vent for you to clear your mind and energy field of stagnant energy. They do this because they are naturally empathetic and sympathetic people, and know what it’s like to feel alone, scared, or hurt. The listener is the kind of person you could be best friends forever with.

3) The uplifter

The one who always encourages you to look on the bright side of things. Didn’t get the job you want? Maybe the Universe has bigger and better plans for you.

Didn’t get the girl you wanted? Maybe she wasn’t the proper vibrational match for you and your soul mate awaits you just around the corner.

For everyone hardship you go through, they offer a positive perspective which helps level out your energetic and psychological state. Being around them is super regenerating and refreshing.

4) The honest one

The one who tells you what you need to hear, even if you don’t want to hear it.

The honest one shoots straight with you to help you understand your own actions and behaviours from outside your own personal perspective.

If you can look passed any defensive instincts you may have, you may just realize that having someone like this in your network of friends is exactly what is needed to help push you into expansion.

5) The big dreamer

The one who wants to take on the world. They want to reach millions, change the world, and influence as many lives as possible. These people usually have great leadership qualities, and can offer a huge burst of inspiration into your life. They teach you to set bigger goals, have faith in yourself, follow your passions, and they do this all be setting the example with your own life. Keep these people around you. Sometimes, the best way to improve your life is to surround you with people who encourage you and motivate you just by being themselves.

6) Your soul mate

The one who just clicks with you. You guys resonate at such a deep and transparent level that it deserves to be called more than just a “friendship”. It feels as though you both decided to incarnate together and help each other on your journeys. Your soul mate may not be your partner.

They may just be the person that your soul connects with at the deepest level. Friends like this come around once in a lifetime. Sometimes, less. Never let these people go.

Friendships like these and the memories they created are what you will take with you when you leave this world. Cherish these people, and remember that they there is nothing more important in life than connecting with other souls.

It Only Takes These 2 Steps To Shift out of A Low Vibration

April 26, 2015 ShePatch Leave a comment

Everything in our universe is made out of energy. That solid chair you’re sitting on, your thoughts, emotions and memories are all forms of energy. From a higher perspective, our world is not made of solid mass, it is buzzing with light and movement.

When you’re feeling low, there is a physical energy weighing down on you. It’s a densely heavy feeling that pushes down on us; there’s a reason we call it feeling down. When you’re in a state of exhilarating happiness, your body literally buzzes with energy.

Shifting out of a dense vibration takes a bit of concentration and the want to change. Sometimes we get stuck in a loop of spiraling negativity and we don’t want to be the ones to break it. We are responsible for shifting our own emotions; but that doesn’t mean we can’t have help.

1. Get to the Core.

There are so many factors that contribute to a low vibration, and sometimes a lot of it is completely subconscious.

Sometimes it’s as clear as day: you broke something, a friend is mad at you, you missed a meeting, you got a bad grade, anything. This is simply the ebb and flow of life. It’s when situations or ideas keep us in a state of distress that it lowers our vibration – translating to a lessening in energy, motivation and inspiration.

A situation that would lower your vibration depends on your level of emotional sensitivity. For some people, a sly glance, harsh tone of voice or even just closed off body language can put them in discomfort. When your thoughts become a loop that wears you down mentally and emotionally, that is a lowering of your vibration.

The actual process of getting to the core of a problem, idea, thought or feeling is different for everyone, but essentially it is following a line ofthoughts. It is digging deep into the center, the core, the seed that is sprouting weeds.

This can be extremely simple or quite complex depending on the nature of what is causing you distress. If you trace it back enough, you might find yourself re-experiencing childhood trauma, forgotten memories or subconscious thoughts.

If you know what’s causing you to be upset, only you know how to navigate the solution.

2. Resolve it.

If there’s something in your life that you need to be working on, fixing or exploring and you aren’t doing it – that’s bringing your vibration down. If you aren’t following your passions, that’s bringing your vibration down.

If you are ignoring your responsibilities and you know you need to get to it but just can’t bring yourself to – that’s bringing your vibration down. There is no catch all answer for how to raise your vibration specifically.

Resolving the core of a problem can look like meditating on a question or having an open talk with friends to explore the issue. It can look like going on a walk to help process information.

The point is to not ignore or cover up the core of the problem. Keep digging, keep asking why? Why am I feeling this way, what brought on this feeling; and you follow that for as long as you need. You might be very surprised as to where it takes you.

Yoga, eating healthy, conscious breathing and anything that makes you feel good is vital to keeping your vibration high. These things alone cannot keep a vibe up, it is strongly connected to our mental and emotional state of being.

Keeping yourself healthy and revitalized no matter what is important – just remember, it’s mind over matter.

4 Spiritual Tools To Help Sharpen Your Intuition & Psychic Ability

April 23, 2015 Submitted By You Leave a comment

Intuition is our natural psychic power. It’s a sort of GPS system for our soul that allows us to navigate energy and potential outcomes. When we learn to sharpen it, listen to it, and refine it, it can act as a sixth sense that can help guide as our on journey.

Although everyone has a natural intuitive connection, some have sharper intuition than others. Regardless of how strong your intuition is, there are things you can do in everyday life to help strengthen it. It’s important to realize that having a stronger intuition and increasing your psychic powers has very little to do with what you may call “spiritual tools” or other forms of divination.

You already have everything you need. It’s just a matter of giving your spiritual antenna a little bit of a fine tuning.

Here are 4 simple steps you can take to sharpen your intuition:

1) Meditate

When you learn to fully relax and clear your mind, you become much more receptive to the energies around you.

It’s important to understand that becoming more psychic and having a stronger intuition has less to do with effort and more to do with relaxing and allowing yourself to be at one with the flow of the universe. Be still, and you will allow yourself to feel what you already have the ability to feel.

Slowing down the stream of mental chatter with even just 10-20 minutes of meditation a day is the best thing you can do for your intuitive abilities.

2) Ask the universe

Don’t be afraid to ask the universe for guidance. Saying something like “show me a sign that I am supposed to do this” is a great way to show the universe with your energy that you are ready to receive.

A great way to sharpen your intuition is simply to be open to receiving guidance from the universe.

You are not alone, and your pursuit to sharpen your psychic and intuitive ability does not have to be a solo effort. Ask, and ye shall receive.

3) Recognize the signs

Once you have tuned your spiritual antenna with meditation, and have asked the universe to show you the way and help guide you, now is the time to recognize the signs in your life. Your guidance may come in forms of synchonicities, coincidences, repeating themes and patterns, or even a very strong pull in your being towards a certain route.

The universe WILL guide you and will show you the way once you surrender to its will and keep your eyes pealed for what it is trying to show you.

4) Proper rest and nutrition

Getting proper rest and nutrition is key. Your body is your vehicle, and thus it is your primary way of interaction with intuitive information. Eat lots of clean foods like organic fruits and vegetables.

Avoid processed foods, fluoride, and chemicals. Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and refined sugars. When you fully purify your vehicle, you will be much more receptive psychic information.

The pineal gland is thought to be the third eye that connects us to higher dimension and transmits information from these dimensions into our brains where they are received by us. Regardless of what mechanisms may be responsible for intuitive abilities, keeping your vehicle clean is a great way to step into a higher vibration.

Strengthening your intuition does not require anything outside of ourselves. Nor does it require that was do strenuous self-work or practice forms of divination. It is a simple matter of purity of mind and body, and aligning yourself with the flow of the universe while being willing to receive guidance.
