How To Transform Your Relationship Into A Spiritual Communion

Leave a comment

We all want magical relationships that inspire us to grow into better people, but here is the truth.  The Universe isn’t going to just drop something in your lap because you want it.  You have to meet the Universe half way and create it for yourself.  If you are bored with your current relationship or plan on entering a relationship with a new person, don’t be afraid to take a hold of the direction you wish the relationship to go.

You are the driver of your experience in life, and thankfully this means that you get to choose the life you want to live.  Maybe all you want is a person you can spend time with, and it doesn’t have to be anything extraordinary or grand.  That is totally fine. But some of you want a taste of what a relationship can be like when two conscious evolved individuals come together with the intention of creating something magical.

Here are some super essential ways that you can either create a spiritual partnership in your current relationship or start one with a future partner:

How Changing Your Beliefs Actually Changes The World Around You

Leave a comment

I always tend to see a basic fault when I hear people talk about hoping for change in the world. It’s the idea that we see the notion of change as something happening outside of us, driven by some faceless group of elite scientists, inventors and leaders coming up with some revolutionary idea that would set the world on a different course.

The fault with this notion is that it comes from the same mould which gave form to the problem in the first place – separation. We feel that we are separate from all the atrocities happening in different corners of the world; separate from shady global deals done in the interest of the few; separate from the marvelous work done by selfless peacekeepers and volunteers; separate from the bloodied hands of our previous generation and the problems of the next generations.

We think that we are helpless, innocent and powerless in the face of all this and that the change we expect ‘has’ to come from others, individuals, collectives or nations.

3 of The Most Important Things To Remember When You Feel Like Giving Up In Life

Leave a comment

Depression is something we all experience at some point in our life.  If you are reading this, chances are you are either depressed, were depressed, will be depressed, or you know someone who is.  It’s a part of the ebb and flow of life and evolution just as much as happiness is.  It’s kind of the elephant in the room for a lot of people, and I know that talking about depression is something a lot of people feel uncomfortable and sensitive about.

I’m not speaking about something that is currently outside of me that I am looking back on.  As someone who is currently experiencing depression in their life, I want to share some insights that have arisen to me to help others who are in a similar situation to me.

First off, don’t be ashamed that you are suffering, and don’t beat yourself up for not being able to get over your depression.  Honestly.  It’s not un-spiritual to admit to yourself that you are depressed or feel like giving up in life. It’s actually more spiritually mature to be completely honest with yourself and face your demons without running from them.  Let’s take a look at some things that can really shift your perspective during times of depression: Continue reading →

How To Heal The Pain After Leaving A Dysfunctional Relationship

Leave a comment

If you are like me, you know what it’s like to suffer from broken heart syndrome.  I call it this because it is literally a medical term used to describe how the physical heart reacts to stress hormones during traumatic/stressful situations like failed relationships.  Your heart chakra will be impacted on a spiritual and emotional level, and this translates into your physical organ in a way that is now being recognized as a medical condition.

If you have a broken heart, don’t play it off as something that will just fade with time.  You are one of the luckiest people on the planet if you have a broken heart right now because you have the greatest opportunity for evolution that you could possible have as a soul.  You also get to experience once of the most emotionally rich and meaningful moments of your entire life.

That being said, there are some things that are important to keep in mind if you are looking to heal from relationship trauma.

This Scientific Explanation Shows Us How The Soul & The Afterlife Exist

Leave a comment

There is a wide array of data that exists that would be best explained by inferring the existence of a non-physical soul, but a large barrier people often come up against is trying to understand how the soul could even fit into our scientific understandings of consciousness.

How does it work? Where is it located? How does it interact with our consciousness? Thankfully, we now have a theoretical framework that explains the existence of the soul and even the afterlife!

The soul is quantum information

According to Dr. Stuart Hameroff, a professor at the University of Arizona, a near-death experience happens when the quantum information that inhabits the nervous system leaves the body and dissipates into the universe.  Contrary to materialistic accounts of consciousness, Dr. Hameroff offers an alternative explanation of consciousness that can perhaps appeal to both the rational scientific mind and personal intuitions.

Consciousness resides, according to Stuart and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose, in the microtubules of the brain cells, which are the primary sites of quantum processing.  Upon death, this information is released from your body, meaning that your consciousness goes with it. They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).

How to Have a Constructive Argument: Why Fighting In Relationships Is Healthy

Leave a comment

We all want to have happy, healthy relationships with people we care about.  But it seems that we have fallen under a false belief thanks to media and culture that fighting in relationships is a sign that your relationship is “toxic”.  Because we think fighting in relationships is a bad thing, we avoid it or tell ourselves we have to leave the relationship if fights start to happen.

This makes a lot of people feel bad about the relationships they are in, and leads many people to ending relationships prematurely because they have been convinced that fighting is necessarily a bad thing. What if it is actually more toxic to be in a relationship where you never fight…ever?  What if butterflies and rainbows aren’t always the best for developing a long-term sustainable relationship?
