There is a moment I am very familiar with - it happens at every party.

The music starts to play ...

Who is going to have the courage and step up to be the first on the dance floor?

I've got some news for all those out there who have been told they must "learn to love themselves more" - it doesn't work.

It can't be done. It's hopeless. Want to know why?

I was talking to a depressed business man last night who kept sighing and saying that he wanted and needed to take a rest after the recent upheavals and problems he had been involved in.

He clearly felt tired and dejected - but was this curable by him lying down in a corner to rest? Or did he really need something else altogether - an inspiration, perhaps?

Here is a lovely and inspiring story that came my way today.

Many people ask, "Is this all there is? There should be more to life than this ..." and this is my answer.

I enjoyed discovering and writing this inspirational story; I hope you enjoy it too ... :-)

Have you ever wondered why EmoTrance works so well, or why we only allow the metaphor of water in its various states during an EmoTrance energy healing session?

I have just written an article explaining about the healing powers of water, and what we can do to activate this immense and ancient healing power of "water is life" in a practical every day sense, and at many different levels.

Whether you call it Christmas, Solstice, or the Festival of Lights, this is a holy time of the year, of this there can be no doubt.

Here is a new story for Solstice, I hope you enjoy.

Yes ... it's the season of lights, priceless gifts, deep peace, ultimate tranquility, gorgeously crystalline pure white snow and fascinating sparkling ice, a grand spirit of potential and beauty sweeping across the lands as the stars rise and flash up above ... well, at least in Sanctuary, that is :-)

I was watching a rather sordid satellite TV programme about various weird aspects of sex when I came across something that did make me sit up and think, now this is a good teaching story in point.

This article is based on an original post To MindList in response to a challenge - If you could go back in time to a particularly important moment/decision point and speak to your past self, when would it be and what would you say?
