Real Love

A book written by Dr. Greg Baer, MD
real loveDo you feel that you are never loved enough? That no matter how kind others are, or how loving… that the feeling lasts a little while, and then you are back to feeling empty again? Like something is missing? So many of us walk around feeling unhappy, empty, like there is a void to fill. Even when we have all that we think we should, success, family, health, beautiful children, still the feeling persists.

Without understanding what it is, we try to fill ‘the hole’ by requesting more love, whining, or becoming involved with alcohol, drugs, sex… because we don’ t understand where this unending happiness comes from.

The answer is: Unconditional Love vs. Conditional Love. Learn about anger, fear, blame, and where it comes from, and why most couples end in divorce. This book is written by a man who was a successful doctor and mentor, he had a booming career, a beautiful family, 5 children, success… but he found himself so unhappy he eventually became hooked on narcotics and found himself at the end with a gun to his head… until he discovered a riveting explanation for “the hole” in him which was created in his early childhood.
ASK YOURSELF:
DO I REALLY KNOW WHAT REAL LOVE IS?
Do I really love someone else so much that their own happiness matters MORE than anything they are giving me? Or do I demand that they make me happy, am I placing Conditions on my love for them?
I highly recommend this book!

Aura Color Chart

COLOURS OF THE AURA
Here is a color chart for seeing auras around people. I was glancing at someone the other day and I saw, out of the corner of my eye, a pink shimmer a few inches off the shoulders. If I looked directly at the spot, I could see nothing, I could only see the aura out of the corner of my eye.

Oprah told a wonderful story, she was interviewing someone who was in a terrible plane crash. He said there was a fire, and people were all around him, being burned alive. As the people were dying, he saw their faces in peace, and their auras strong and glowing. Some had larger auras than others.

It’s the thirst for approval,

“It’s the thirst for approval,
validation and justification,
from sources outside of yourself,
that blinds you to the fact that
they need not be earned.”

A Story of WILD OAT Flower Essence: The Pied Piper of Dogs

wild oatFlower Essences are vibrational remedies, they are remedies for the soul. The wisdom of a given flower speaks to our inner being, calming us or healing us, motivating us. Flowers always come back every year, they don’t decide they are depressed, and so they won’t sprout this year. They are relentless, trusting, self supporting, and hardy.

Heres a story about WILD OAT Flower Essence, it is one of my favorite stories to tell.

Fred was approaching his 5th decade of life. He had been working in a career, but he was ready for a career change. He didn’t know what he should do. His belief system about work was that work is repetitive, grueling, demanding, and tiring. I gave him Wild Oat Flower Essence.

Over the next week, it was reported that Fred, who owned a dog, would suddenly not stop talking about dogs. He watched dogs on TV, spoke to his friends of this dog or that dog. He took his dog for social visits to the local ‘dog hangout’ and spoke of all of the different species, their behaviors. And dogs Fred had never met suddenly started coming to him and sitting at his feet, actually on his feet. WOW!

Wild Oat was showing Fred that his career, his life meaning, is to work with dogs.

This is how flower essences work. You suddently ‘forget’ your woes, and things around you begin to show themselves to you. It works in just the way a flower blooms from the earth: silent, slow but sudden, and it shines and stretches out for you…you have to be looking for it.

Making Rooted Decisions, When Saturn Comes to Town

I recently discovered that Saturn will be “in my house” coming this September for the next two years. Saturn was gleefully explained to me as “the one who will be watching every step I take”, the one “looking over my shoulder”. And should I have any thing out of order, Father Saturn will be sure to straighten it out in a not-so-gentle way. When we come out of a Saturn transit such as this one, we are thankful for the lessons and a more evolved person. Well, how do we know and feel that things are in order? And what does that mean, anyway? Isn’t everything always as it should be? Isn’t everything always in perfect order? Even when we are in chaos, we are learning and growing.

I found a wonderful article that I wanted ot share called “Making Rooted Decisions“. It speaks of how easy decisions were to make in our young adventurous years, but as we get older and have families to consider, the decision making becomes a deepwater navigation where we dance with everyone’s best interest and fend off guilt and feelings of “selfishness”.

Here are the first few paragraphs, and you can click the link to read the entire article.

Making Rooted Decisions
For anybody successfully through thier Astrological time of Saturn returning, you’ll already know what this is about. It begins around the age of 27 and continues to flip flop itself ruthlessly through your chakras, your life; your thoughts, and your core belief systems for about three years. All of the sudden things start happening, or they get stuck, or you start feeling deeply restless, but nonetheless it makes absolute havock.

I’ll spare you my grueling three year saga, because really what I am trying to learn, and I think many women and men are too, is how to make decisions from my deepest, truest self. It’s the darn hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. And I don’t even think I’ve done it yet… READ ON

The Cure for Criticism

by Todd Puntolillo
Author of Love, Wisdom and Healing

If I were given the power to cure just one ill that haunts mankind, I would pass up cancer, breeze by AIDS, and overlook heart disease because curing the malady I have in mind might just cure most of the others as a side effect. The cure I would seek would be the cure of criticism. No disease shrivels up children, destroys the family unit, ruins the business place, incapacitates government, nor produces stress like criticism. The terrible three (criticism, judgment, and complaint) do more to dishearten the spirit and, in general, create misery, pain and sorrow than anything else I have ever encountered. What is sad is that it is so often the vice of the otherwise virtuous person. It is so commonplace that, in many cases, we don’t even pause to take note when words of criticism are voiced. Sitcoms find their success in “put downs” while millions watch and laugh.

Criticism is so hideous that we even label criticism as “constructive” and “destructive” so that we can invalidate someone and tell them that it is for their own good. The need to be right by making someone else wrong is the problem to be addressed. Why not make someone else right by assisting them or letting them go, free of humiliation, so they can learn and grow?

Flower Essences Used for ADD

There are two key natural healing therapies that can be used to relieve ADD and ADHD. They are flower essences. Flower Essences address soul issues, vibrational disharmonies, and energetic inbalances within our bodies. We live in an etheric body which contains three main items; the mind, the body and the spirit. Current drug therapies address the mind and the body, but they do not address the spirit.

Flower Essences are vibrational remedies that assist with largely emotional “diseases” (so called) such as ADD and ADHD. Dill and Madia are two very acute remedies for this “disease” as doctors call it.

The reason that I put disease in quotations is because today’s children are bored in our schools. Our children have evolved into small sized wisdom keepers, they understand complex issues faster than I ever did as a child. The new age community refers to these children as Indigo Children or Crystal Children. I recommend reading Doreen Virtue’s Book The Crystal Children. Different books point out a stark difference in today’s child behavior than in past generations. Instead of treating these new behaviors as “diseases”, we need to take a look at whats really going on. The children see fairies, they blurt out things about their past lives, they tell us we are “making bad decisions” in their 2 and 3 year old voices. Some of us see this as unruly behavior, where these children have little regard for parents or teachers. Its not that they are trying to be disrespectful, its that they understand and point out problems that they can plainly see in their evolved status. While we are worn down and used to the wrong ways of the world, these new kids with fresh eyes see blaring issues.

I mean honestly, look at math homework. Can we adults sit down and do 40 math subtraction problems with any patience at all? How can we expect this of our little light beings?

They “get it” moreso than we ever did. I welcome your comments or email for more information and discussion.

I encourage you to read the two specific flower essence remedies, Dill and Madia .
