			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While on vacation a disconnected family gets stranded near mystical Mt. Shasta and gets more than they could have ever bargained for. A family drama expands into a spiritual mystery, finally growing into a mystical adventure in Dreams Awake Movie.</p>

<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/15349147">Dreams Awake &#8211; Official Trailer</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3683368">Way To Go Media</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>I had a chance to interview the writer,director and producer of Dreams Awake, Jerry Alden Deal. Below is a copy of our Q&amp;A&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">1. Why did you make Dreams Awake?</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Deal.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6340" title="Deal" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Deal.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I love this question because it goes straight to the heart of it all. And as I sat, and sometimes paced back and forth, to come up with a truly honest answer, I realized that the answer was a complex one. Plus, I think the people who read this do deserve the real scoop, so I wanted to make sure I thought this out.</p>
<p>In the end “Dreams Awake” really came into being because of three different situations culminating in my life at a pivotal time.</p>
<p>The first thing was my own spiritual path. I have been a seeker, a searcher, a practitioner, or whatever you might want to call it, for quite a while now. I had some experiences as a child and a teenager I couldn’t explain that set me on this path, which is still a journey I am on to this day. I could easily write a book about this. And maybe someday I actually will.</p>
<p>The second thing is my relationship with Mt. Shasta. Forty years ago in 1972 on my first trip to that spiritual place, I fell in love with the mountain. I have been making trips there ever since. In fact, my wife and I got a second place up there a few years ago. It feels like my ‘spiritual home.’</p>
<p>The third thing is my career in the film business. For a number of years now I have been writing screenplays that were not getting produced. Yes, I have been contracted on several occasions to write scripts, and have had a number of other spec scripts optioned. I have been very close a number of times of getting a project into production, but there always seemed to be a hang up somewhere.</p>
<p>Anyway, as I got older and the production execs got younger, there came a time when industry ageism reared its ugly head. And the phones quit ringing. I was stuck, but I still felt I had plenty to write about and communicate.</p>
<p>So one day, while standing on my deck at our house near Mt. Shasta, I gazed upon the mountain and reflected how particularly beautiful she seemed right then. And then it hit me. How come no one had made a movie up here? That set the mental wheels in motion, and it wasn’t long before I had the spine of a story. I spent the better part of the next two years fine-tuning the screenplay, and felt I was pretty much there after a number of drafts and polishes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/quote.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6345" title="quote" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/quote.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>I knew what a mountain I was about to climb when I decided to produce and direct my own screenplay. I had been taking directing classes and by this time had directed four shorts. But a feature? And one about the spiritual concepts that interested me? And where do I get the money? I looked around and drafted my wife to be the executive producer, asking her to be a treasure hunter. If she could find some buried treasure, I told her I’d take care of everything else. There seemed to be a lot of magic surrounding the film. And we were on our way. About 18 months later we were actually in production.</p>
<p>The story of “Dreams Awake” resonated with me personally because of my own background and spiritual experiences with the mountain. Add the fact that an industry tried to tell me they had no use for me, and me feeling I had plenty to say about spirituality from my point of view and there you have it. So I guess in the end, you could say a combination of desire, opportunity, background, serendipity and a little bit of luck was why (and how) “Dreams Awake” was made.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>2. What has the reaction been from viewers who watch Dreams Awake?</strong></span></p>
<p>I guess like many films, we’ve had a mixed reaction, ranging from one extreme to the other. But overall it seems we’ve had really great reactions to it. Of course, this film is obviously not for everyone, because in some ways we do ‘step on some toes.’ Meaning, we have had some negative reaction from people in the ‘traditional’ religious world, because they think we depict religion in a negative light. This film is probably not meant for them, but if they looked a little closer about what the film is actually trying to say, it certainly is not trying to dismiss spiritual (or religious) seekers. Only the institutions that could take advantage of their vulnerabilities. In fact, the film is really for the spiritual seeker. I personally think that all types of religious or spiritual persuasions or philosophies out there certainly have a place in our society, as long as it is serving its people in a positive way. But anyway, I think there are many more positive things to focus on in the film than this.</p>
<p>In addition, I have been heartened by the fact that we have received messages from people who don’t really have any particular spiritual view, or even much of an interest in spirituality, but who really like the film. Several have even communicated that it got them thinking about the types of things we explore in the film. I am probably most gratified about that than anything else.</p>
<p>And finally, there seems to be one intriguing thread for many of our viewers. I can’t tell you how many times someone has told that they had to watch the film three or four times before they really felt they ‘got’ it. That has been fascinating for me. And when I’ve had the opportunity, I certainly ask them about it. I don’t know if there’s any kind of consensus about why that is, but some just say that they think it is packed with several messages. Personally, I feel there is one major theme, and possibly 3-4 sub-themes, along with a few message nuances to support the whole thing. I could go on forever about the film’s thematic content, but I don’t think we have the time or space to do that here. I’ve actually began writing what you might call a ‘white paper’ on what the film is really all about. And I’m discovering a few things along the way myself by going through that whole process.</p>
<p>Anyway, for some backup reference material, here is a link to what some of our viewers have been saying about the film &#8212; <a href="http://dreamsawakemovie.com/beyond-film/datestimonials/">http://dreamsawakemovie.com/beyond-film/datestimonials/</a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>3. What did you learn about yourself as you made Dreams Awake?</strong></span></p>
<p>Oh, I could probably write a book about all that too. But seriously, probably the main thing I learned about myself was just the fact that I could take so much on and actually do it. Of course, it takes the work of a lot of people to bring a film home, and I will always be immensely grateful to all the people who worked on our film. That is the icing on the cake, to get to meet and work with such a great group of people. I feel we were so lucky to have such a wonderful cast and crew, some of who will become lifelong friends.</p>
<p>But again, developing, producing and marketing a feature film is an absolutely tremendous endeavor for anyone to take on. Having been a writer for a good portion of my life and feeling how difficult that can be, but then learning that is nothing compared to being a filmmaker. I have a newfound and utmost respect for the immensely difficult process a filmmaker goes through to get his/her film out into the world. And never knowing if anyone will like it or even respond to it. What a leap of faith. I could easily say that making a film is a spiritual experience in and of itself. One I will never forget, and one I would love to continue doing. In a way, you could even say that this overall experience was been quite an awakening for me. It has certainly better equipped me to take on our next film, which I believe will be a real treat for our future viewers.<a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/poster.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6341" title="poster" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/poster-203x300.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>That leads me to one final point. One of the most difficult tasks for an indie filmmaker who is self-distributing (which many more like us are doing nowadays) is for them to truly find their audience. Obviously, we indie filmmakers have no immense corporate studio backing to help with that activity, thus requiring us to create a whole other operation. And whether our audience be 100 or 100 million, we can only hope we find them and reach them in some way. We do welcome anyone out there who feels they can help us in this grand endeavor of helping us find our audience.</p>
<p>And thanks Matt, for this opportunity to talk about “Dreams Awake.” I leave you with this quote by Henry David Thoreau, which is where the title came from. I’m sure he would have loved Mt. Shasta.</p>
<p>“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.” – Henry David Thoreau</p>

PARTI_BOOKPIC_IMG_6457[2]" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/DR.-PARTI_BOOKPIC_IMG_64572-246x300.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="300" /></a>This post is a guest post by Rajiv Parti, MD (aka Dr. Raj) on A Simple Mantra for Healing Your Dark Night of the Soul<em>&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Healing form my <a href="http://www.drraj.com/dark-night-of-the-soul/">Dark Night of the Soul</a> was not easy but the three main steps I had to go through were: 1. Forgive 2. Love and 3. Heal.  This mantra Forgive, Love, Heal will help one heal from a dramatic Dark Night of the Soul as mine or even what I call a Mini Dark Night which can happen all the time to us in busy modern life: they could be simple things like being shown the finger in an unloving exchange, or being cut off on the road in traffic!</p>
<p>In my own <a href="http://www.drraj.com/dark-night-of-the-soul/">Dark Night of the Soul </a> I had to deal with prostrate cancer, surgical complications, life threatening sepsis, depression, chronic pain and dependency on pain medications. I had to sell my house, quit my job, all the while feeling how my marriage tethered and my health suffered. I was very angry at myself, at God, the people, at the world ­ at the universe.</p>
<p>My healing happened in three steps.</p>
<p><strong>The First Step is to Forgive</strong></p>
<p>I had to forgive my self for any thing I had done, or contributed to the dark night. Forgive the circumstances. Forgive God and accept God&#8217;s will. I had to surrender to the possibility that the Spirit alone has the infinite wisdom. There were the lessons I had to learn in this life time, so that I could evolve.</p>
<p>The forgiveness is defined as:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>To help in forgiveness process I re-discovered the serenity prayer:</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong><em>&#8220;God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.&#8221;</em></strong></span></p>
<p>It transformed me. I started to live in present in the Now and not be stuck in what my circumstance once were in past or what I wanted them to be in future.</p>
<p><strong>The Second Step is to Love</strong></p>
<p>The second step was to start to love myself, my life, my circumstances. The beauty is that when I started to love myself, my health improved in leaps. I started eating healthy, going to the gym regularly, meditating and praying regularly. This self love should not mean a narcissistic way of prioritizing the self at the cost of others, for I truly believe one can only love others when one becomes love itself. I started to have gratitude and love re-kindled for the Spirit, the people, the world, the environment; I even changed my car form Hummer to a Camry Hybrid.</p>
<p>Love is defined as:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;A virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another and one self.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>As famous Mother Teresa quote comes to mind:</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><em><strong>&#8220;We all can not do great things but we all can do things with great love. We all can each become a sun of of love radiating love all around.&#8221;</strong></em></span></p>
<p>So my friends start the ripple effect from the heart, from inside your heart, from your Source.</p>
<p><strong>The Third Step is to Heal</strong><a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/seva.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6330" title="seva" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/seva.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="214" /></a></p>
<p>After the first two steps of change within our mind, and within our heart comes the step that addresses change at the level of the soul, our spirit. I have observed in others, and personally experienced that to really heal, there has to be a shift that has to happen at a deep level of our consciousness. Effectively, the consciousness has to not just heal but evolve too.</p>
<p>Healing is defined as:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;to make healthy, whole, restore to health; to rejuvenate ,to free from evil; cleanse; purify&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Looking back I am thankful to the Spirit for the circumstances I had to go through. It has brought love, compassion, <a href="http://www.drraj.com/seva-service-with-gratitude/">Seva</a> (service with gratitude), sharing, and creativity as my guiding principles ­ where as before I lived for cancerous materialism, expensive toys, the satisfaction of myself above all others: it really was all about me: my status.</p>
<p>My Dark Night transformed me to find my true Divine purpose and my <a href="http://www.drraj.com/my-purposemy-inner-voice/">Dharma</a> to be a Healer at the Soul level. I wouldn&#8217;t be writing this but for going through the heat of that Dark Night. It made me whole.</p>
<p>I learnt to embrace my Dark Shadow. A Gandhi Quote comes to mind:</p>
<p>&#8220;Be the change you want to see in the world&#8221;</p>
<p>Yesterday only I received a short email from a friend who had seen me last a few years back. It said:</p>
<p>&#8220;Hi Raj ­ It was so nice to have you with us last weekend! you have changed a lot since I saw you last in India.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another friend said how after five years of knowing that one can see how even how I drive has changed. That is so true.I was always in rush in the fast lane. But now I have what I will call Buddha Driving! I am driving in the middle lane. Somebody cuts me off? So be it&#8230;they must be in rush. So my friends ­ my experience is that this approach works. Through the practice of my own prescription for <a href="http://www.drraj.com/store/wellness-coaching/soul-of-wellness-method-wellness-programs/">Wellness</a><br />
in the Soul of Wellness, and through the adoption of this mantra: Forgive, Love and Heal. ­</p>
<p>I have managed to reduce my doctor&#8217;s orders to take 36 pills every morning to manage my health crisis down to only 5 different pills a day. The truth is that I have gotten myself out of intense pain, managed to free myself from depression, free myself of addiction, and reverse being overweight through this mantra. The quality of my relationships with my beloved wife, my beautiful children, my dear friends and working associates ­is, I can tell you genuinely infused with joy, understanding, love and laughter.</p>
<p>My advice is to not just say the mantra, but to practice it ­ to live it: to BE the change it beckons from us.</p>

<p>Below is a Q&amp;A with him on a new paradigm that is emerging&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Why isn&#8217;t the current paradigm any good?</strong></span></p>
<p>It is outdated. It cannot explain some very basic phenomena, such as instant, space- and time-transcending connections not only among microparticles, but among living organisms &#8211; even among galaxies. In simple definitions: the current paradigm is a &#8220;local-state&#8221; paradigm, and the paradigm we need must be a &#8220;nonlocal-state&#8221; paradigm.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Why is that so important?</strong></span></p>
<p>Because if things interact both locally and nonlocally they are not separate, individual and independent entities, here and only here and now, at a given point in space and time. They are interacting, interpenetrating through all points of space and time &#8211; the whole universe is an instantly interacting vast network. Very different from the current paradigm conception of the universe as a local mechanism, with mechanically interacting parts.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>What&#8217;s the gist of the new paradigm?</strong></span></p>
<p>According to the new paradigm the manifest world is only what we see &#8212; the deeper reality of the world we do not and cannot see or perceive. It is &#8220;hidden&#8221; for us &#8211; a &#8220;veiled reality&#8221; as the ancients said.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>So how do we know that it exists?</strong></span></p>
<p>Because it is implied by all that we do see and hear. It&#8217;s like dealing with a computer. We see the keyboard and the monitor, but we can&#8217;t reasonably deny that there is something that governs the way they behave. That&#8217;s the software. The &#8220;hidden dimension&#8221; of the universe is the software of the world. It turns out that &#8220;information,&#8221; in the sense of rules and algorithms that decide how things work, how they interact, is even more important than the things that they govern. But there is a difference between the universe and the computer: in the universe, the hidden dimension generates the manifest dimension &#8211; not as in the computer, where we insert the software as a separate things into a previously existing hardware.<a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/earth.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6314" title="earth" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/earth.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>What does the new paradigm mean for society?</strong></span></p>
<p>It tells us that things are not independent, separate things, they don&#8217;t just act but co-act, don&#8217;t just evolve but co-evolve. They are tuned for interaction. This &#8220;tuning&#8221; is the meaning of &#8220;coherence.&#8221; A well-tuned system has parts where every part is fine-tuned to interact with &#8211; to resonate with &#8211; all the other parts. And the whole system interacts with &#8211; resonates with &#8211; all the other systems in its surroundings. Here is an interesting term: something that is coherent in itself, and is coherently related to other things, is &#8220;supercoherent.&#8221; Gaia, the web of life on the planet, is a supercoherent system, all its parts are fine-tuned to all its other parts. But there is one kind of system that&#8217;s increasingly absent from this general fine-tuning, and that&#8217;s humanity.</p>
<p>We were coherent as a species until we started manipulating our environment to our own ends some eight thousand years ago in the Neolithic. But we were small and not very powerful, so this wasn&#8217;t a real problem. But now with seven billion human manipulating powerful technologies this lack of coherence is beginning to subvert the workings of the whole system. The new paradigm tells us that we need to regain our coherence with each other and with the world around us. Become fine-tuned again &#8211; become a coherent system that&#8217;s a functional part of a supercoherent system. That&#8217;s the challenge. If we don&#8217;t meet it, we could become extinct &#8211; the system will go on without us. But we are a conscious system, so let&#8217;s recognize the problem and do something about it. That&#8217;s our chance.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Does this interpretation of the new paradigm conflict with religious or spiritual belief?</strong></span></p>
<p>If we take the spirit rather than the letter of religious doctrines, then it does not. All great religions and spiritual traditions recognize a deeper or higher reality that governs the perceived reality. In science we do not ascribe the intelligence that&#8217;s inherent in that reality to a personified divinity, but doing so is an interpretation of what science recognizes, and not a contradiction of it. The Akasha is the scientific equivalent of the divine sphere Hermes Trismegistos said we should emulate and follow when he said, &#8220;as above so below.&#8221; the Akasha is the cosmic matrix: it&#8217;s the &#8220;above.&#8221;</p>
<p>******************<br />
There are two new books coming out in the next weeks from the esteemed Dr. Ervin Laszlo&#8211;Birth of the Akasha Paradigm: New Thinking for a New World in enhanced ebook format and The Akasha Paradigm in Science: (R) Evolution at The Cutting Edge.

<p>It’s age-old wisdom. Aristotle said it simply over 2,300 years ago: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”</p>
<p>You know that beyond spiritual ideas and experiences, there is one thing that’s essential for our personal and collective evolution — an authentic transformative practice.</p>
<p>That’s the “open secret” of the spiritual life. The fruits of spirituality, in daily life, and the transcendence of ego, are the results of daily regular consistent practice. We’ve all tasted this and yearn for a fully awakened life.</p>
<p>Yet for too many of us, something gets in the way of actually doing the practices that we love, and that we know in our hearts will transform us.</p>
<p>In one way or another, we get blocked, sabotaged, or led astray from our intention to practice.</p>
<p>That’s why I’m truly honored to be writing you today about a groundbreaking and powerful <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1457360 ">free online seminar</a> with Terry Patten, Integral teacher, visionary, and bestselling author.</p>

<p>-</p>
<p>This is the synopsis for <strong>The Edge of Dreaming</strong>, a documentary that tells the story of a rational, skeptical woman, a mother and wife, who must confront her mortality after having a dream that tells her she would die in a year at the age of 48. <strong>The Edge of Dreaming</strong> uses a meditative cinematography to visually explore the emotional states, spiritual insights and daily journey of that year. The film also mixes humor, science and married life as Amy tries to understand what is happening to her by seeking out possible answers from a neuroscientist, shaman, Carl Jung&#8217;s teachings and her own family.</p>
<p><strong>The Edge of Dreaming</strong> prompts viewers to ask some big questions such as:</p>
<p>What would I worry about if I was going to die in a year?<br />
How would I spend my time?<br />
What would I place my thoughts and attention on?<br />
Where am I going after I die?</p>
<p><strong>The Edge of Dreaming</strong> does a good job of raising these questions by following Amy&#8217;s journey without telling you exactly how to answer them.</p>
<p>For more information on The Edge of Dreaming you can visit it&#8217;s website at <a href="http://www.edgeofdreaming.co.uk">http://www.edgeofdreaming.co.uk</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3068" title="Eli" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Eli.jpg" alt="Eli" width="130" height="122" />The Book of Eli is a movie about a man, Eli, (Denzel Washington) who hears an inner voice telling him to carry a Sacred book &#8220;West&#8221; in a post-apocalyptic, desolate and violent world. Eli does not question this calling even though he is being offered nothing in return, except for protection. Eli&#8217;s willingness to carry out his mission is put to the test throughout his journey numerous times as people try to kill him and a companion (Mila Kunis) he is traveling with in an attempt to take the book from him. His inner calling has guided him to navigate and overcome a world filled with violence. Now, he must find the strength to meet this challenge head on.</p>
<p>I was skeptical going into this movie because I thought it was just going to be some science-fiction, action-film about an apocalyptic world. However, I am glad I saw The Book of Eli. One message in the movie that really resonated with me is the willingness to trust and fight for your inner callings simply for the sake of serving some higher purpose. Eli is driven by his inner voice to carry a Sacred book to the West. He does not know exactly why he is being guided to do this, but he does it because deep down he knows it&#8217;s the right thing to do.</p>
<p>Additionally, Eli continues to trust even though he has not reached his destination after a long and arduous journey. In one scene, a companion he is with asks him how long he has been traveling. Eli tells her that it has been 30 years and she replies, <em><strong>&#8220;Do you think you might be lost?&#8221;</strong> </em> But, Eli continues to trust that he is not lost and that he will be protected if he carries out his calling to bring the book to the West. This scene inspires us to continue to trust that we will be protected if we follow our callings &#8212; even though it may appear that we are lost.</p>
<p>The Book of Eli is now available on DVD on Amazon if you <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG997C?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=spirmediblo07-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG997C">Click Here</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=spirmediblo07-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002ZG997C" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Mark-Brown.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6294" title="Mark Brown" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Mark-Brown.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="199" /></a> <em>This post is a guest article written by Mark C. Brown, Ph.D.</em></p>
<p>In recognition of May as National Meditation Month, what could be better than adding a simple practice of meditation to the other things you do to improve your physical and mental health?</p>
<p>Meditation has both physical and mental benefits that have been clearly documented by medical research. Lower blood pressure, better sleep, reductions in headache frequency and severity, decreased anxiety, improved digestion and an increase in a sense of general well-being, among other things, are all outcomes of a regular practice of mediation.</p>
<p>One of the best features of mediation is its efficiency. You will not need equipment or reading material. You will not be required to take out a monthly or annual membership. You will not have to travel anywhere. In fact, you will not have to leave the house. What else can promise such excellent benefits at no cost to you at all?</p>
<p>Meditation is essentially a process of being quiet and still. A common approach to it involves paying relaxed attention to something that you are doing every second of every day anyway &#8211; breathing. Here’s how to start:</p>
<p>Sit on a comfortable cushion or chair in a favored place in your home. Place your hands on your abdomen just below your rib cage. When you inhale, make sure that your abdomen expands against your hands. Do this again and again, and each time you exhale, let your whole body go limp like a rag doll. Over time, begin to slow the process down.</p>
<p>Meditation is best learned by taking time each day to be quiet and still so that the breathing technique can be practiced in a deliberate way. Easy music can be part of the mix. And you do not have to invest a lot of time to benefit significantly. Ten or fifteen minutes is all that is needed to begin. No need for any other major changes at all.</p>
<p>Meditation is also a relative act, meaning that you can be “quieter and stiller” if being truly settled does not come easily. The main idea is just to slow things down. So, while some might sit in a comfortable chair in a favored room, others may do better strolling around the neighborhood or the park.</p>
<p>With practice, the quieter mental states set the tone for the rest of the day, promoting beneficial effects without our even being aware of it.</p>
<p>To increase your peace, add the following:</p>
<p><strong>Get active.</strong> Being shut in leads to feeling shut down, and even minor depression makes everything look gray. An easy walk in the park or just around the neighborhood gets blood flowing to the brain and burns off stress. It is usually brighter outside than in, and light has a stimulating effect on brain functioning. A regular practice of walking can also provide something to look forward to.</p>
<p><strong>Turn off the news.</strong> It is abundantly clear that bad news sells, and it is addictive. Our imaginative brains respond to things happening to others as if those things are happening to us, with unhappy results. There is nothing to be done about most of what is broadcast anyway, leading to feelings of alienation and helplessness about the world. Why borrow additional trouble?</p>
<p><strong>Be positive.</strong> Before getting out of bed in the morning, affirm the day with statements such as, “This is going to be a good day and I am looking forward to what it will bring,” and then smile. Our brains respond to these with the release of chemicals associated with feeling good. We may not be able to control the world, but we can manipulate our brains. <a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/book.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6297" title="book" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/book.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="279" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Count your blessings.</strong> There are often more than we think. Stress naturally causes the brain to focus on potential threats and to expect the worst. It becomes easy, then, to lose sight of what is good. The list should include all assets, tangible resources that can be counted on in the short run to help get by until circumstances improve, and the intangibles, such as friends and loved ones who share the journey and make it worthwhile.</p>
<p>Start your peacefulness practice this month and reap the benefits for many months to come. There is no easier way to improve your life.</p>

Even though I’m not the same gender, I feel the impact of this movement. The world is about to change. As someone who has many important women in my own life, I feel compelled to forward this information on to as many women as possible.</p>
<p>Now, more than ever before, women are ready to step into the fullness of their power and authentic self-expression.</p>
<p>So I have to ask you, are you a woman who senses she has a higher potential on a personal or global scale that isn’t yet being realized?</p>
<p>In spite of your outer successes and all your years of personal and spiritual growth, do you find you still struggle with how to bring deeper satisfaction into your daily life?</p>
<p>If any of this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Millions of women around the world are feeling this way, and many of them are coming together for a revolutionary event you need to know about…</p>
<p>It’s called <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1448364">Awakening Feminine Power: How to Break Through Your Inner Glass Ceiling</a> and it’s happening soon – Sunday May 6th to be exact.</p>
<p>It’s going to be led by two friends of mine, women’s transformational expert Claire Zammit &amp; best-selling author Katherine Woodward Thomas, who have been heralded as leading the way for women’s empowerment in our time.</p>

<p>Women have access to more freedom and choices than they’ve ever had in all of human history. Yet, in spite of all of their gains over the last 50 years, most are experiencing a confusing and painful gap they can’t quite name.</p>
<p>As you know, I’m very particular about the causes I get behind. I don’t recommend just any of them. Yet what Claire &amp; Katherine (with over 30 years of combined transformational training) are sharing is so significant and innovative, I feel moved to share this with every woman I know.</p>
<p>So if you haven’t yet discovered the groundbreaking movement of Feminine Power, let me fill you in.</p>
<p>It all started seven years ago when Claire and Katherine joined forces and became very aware how women in their community had accomplished so much but were still feeling a sense of something missing.</p>
<p>In spite of all that these women had accomplished, they still felt frustrated and confused about their inability to create a life that reflected the deeper potentials they sensed for who they could be as women.</p>
<p>BUT WHY?</p>
<p>Then it hit Claire and Katherine…</p>
<p>Women have been sourcing the wrong kind of power!</p>
<p>You’ll need to hear Claire and Katherine explain it, but here is the basic thread… <span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>instead of settling for a life that is only partially satisfying, Feminine Power shows women how to literally leap fully into their true power– the power to create the things they most yearn for.</strong></em></span></p>
<p>Claire and Katherine have cracked that code for women everywhere and the impact they’re having is spreading like wildfire across all corners of the globe.</p>
<p>When Claire and Katherine first got this revelation, they put together a small class explore how to awaken Feminine Power. The breakthroughs and transformations were phenomenal.</p>
<p>Word spread rapidly about these Feminine Power principles and their circle widened from the first group of 25 women to 50, then to over 100, and then to over 1,000. And in the past 18 months, there have been over 100,000 women awakening to their Feminine Power from over 70 different countries and over 6,000 women participating in their 7 Week Online Course! And those numbers are growing exponentially.<a href="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/feminine-power.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6206" title="feminine power" src="http://www.spiritualmediablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/feminine-power.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
