"Spirit Space" the documentary has just been released and I reviewed the DVD last night. If you have seen "The Secret" then you will have a pretty good feel for this DVD as the format is very similar. On the evolutionary highway, I would have released "Spirit Space" first as it fills in some of the gaps and answers some of the questions left behind by "The Secret." I don't believe either of the DVD's went far enough and the viewer is left with still more unanswered questions. "Spirit Space" rattles our cage a bit with a primer on Quantum Physics, reincarnation and death (crossing o...

Oprah is a grand person, a big person in many ways. Her generosity is enormous. She has taught us. She has shared her experiences, tragic and jubilant. She has her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds where she gathers new ideas to bring to us all. We can thank her for expanding our knowledge and consciousness in matters of the spirit. We can thank her for shedding light on the importance of educating ourselves through reading. We can thank her for bringing family and personal issues that affect many of us to the forefront. That's her specialty - shedding light. We can also thank ...

Many people know how important body language is in effective persuasion and communications. Thus, when you're trying to emphasize a certain point or idea, simply saying how enthused you are with an event is not enough. For instance, if a friend came to you and told you news about his promotion, saying something like "That's wonderful news!" with a rather blank expression runs the risk of the other person getting the impression that you're just pulling his leg and talking through your teeth. In order to express your statements fully, you need to accompany your expressions and comment...

Whatever your goal, many of us set New Year's resolutions with the best of intentions and a determination to succeed, only to set the same goals next year. However, most people set and forget their goals. They are not systematic goal setters following the SMARTer goal setting process - indeed only 2 in every 100 people are. Why don't the other 98 people set systematic long range goals that have clear steps and time lines to achieve them? Some of these reasons include "I don't have time to set goals" or "I am not a goal-orientated person" or “I don’t like goal setting”. How...

Self-confidence can be described as an ability to trust in oneself and one's unique strengths and resources. It is a component high self-image, and required for life achievement. A significant number of people who possess a social phobia or fail to understand how to gain self confidence cannot succeed. A deficit in self-confidence can be an obstacle to personal success. A negative self-image can prevent one in achieving the ability to take control over past problems and making actual progress toward directing one's own future. Contrastingly, self-confident persons rely on themselves and...

We all know that anxiety is a condition we cause. It only lingers when we don’t understand it or know how to reverse it. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder. And when we say panic attacks these are sudden surges of overwhelming fear that that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than having anxiety or the feeling of being 'stressed out' that most people experience. If you want to know on how anxiety panic attacks works you can ask anyone ...

What is the power of intention, apart from being the latest reincarnation of the "power of positive thinking" idea? And does it work? It might - as long as the goal is more important to you than the idea. You see, intention alone won't get you to your goals. In fact, many new age writers on the power of intention seem to have forgotten the saying that "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." They may argue otherwise, but perhaps the universe doesn't care what your intentions are. If the universe doesn't care, can the "positive thinking" or other ways to focus your thoughts h...

Drug testing has become very common in both the workplace and schools within the last twenty years or so. Generally, urine testing is the most common form of drug screening. Many people are creative in their efforts to beat drug tests and have formulated many products to mask the appearance of drugs in the system. Products such as masking chemicals and even synthetic urine are widely available, and even the most severe cases of drug abuse may go undetected. Because of the ever-expanding market of products designed to help a drug user pass a screening, many employers are turning to hair follicl...
