New free 21-day meditation program with Deepak Chopra - don't miss it!

21-Day Meditation Experience
Living from our isolated ego self, we view power as a limited resource that comes and goes – one we must struggle to obtain and defend with force, intimidation, and dominance. When we live from our spirit, we understand that true power comes from a deep place within that supports and connects us all. Next time you feel lost or powerless, try shifting your perspective from ego to spirit to access your true source of unwavering inner strength.
The #1 way to move from ego to spirit is meditation. In this state of being, conflicts dissolve, struggles evaporate, and the next step towards the fulfillment of your desires is always clear and achievable. Follow us on Facebook for support, encouragement, and tips for growing your meditation practice during The Path to Empowerment! We look forward to meditating with you! Namasté, 21-Day Meditation Experience Team P.S. Don’t miss a meditation — Get Deepak’s daily meditations sent to your phone via Facebook Messenger!

Time Space Adventurer


Learning to Master the Time Space Adventure of The Gaia Game

Since this may be a new concept to many of you, some explanation may be useful. The two scenarios are connected in a story in which you are already a player. The only question is if you recognize that you are playing a part in a story that for the most part, you are concocting. Most people at this point in time believe they are observing the world around them as something separate from themselves. You may not believe that you are designing your "reality" and that it is simply a mirror of your predominate beliefs. You may even think that you need to deserve a good life to have one.  

In reality you were born worthy but some people must work very hard to feel deserving. While it is not necessary, these individuals will need to work hard so they can feel they deserve what they want. Do you believe you need to pay a price for success? That is what most others would have you believe because they believe it. They may even think their efforts or those of their families make them superior to you. None of this is true.  

It may seem frivolous to you to say that you are "in reality" playing a part in a story that you are making up. You can be assured that there is no REALITY for you beyond what you believe it to be. It is not anything real in fact. It is a fiction - like a waking dream - in your mind. It seems very real of course because you and most everyone around you have agreed to play a similar game with similar rules. However consider that everyone you know has a slightly different set of beliefs - all of which they believe to be true and an expression of reality.  

In the same social group there is great pressure to have at least similar beliefs but I am sure you can always find people whose ideas you strongly oppose. Are they wrong? You might say yes from your perspective but from theirs, you are the one who is wrong. We would suggest that there is no wrong or right. There is only choice and belief. You are not evaluating and judging the world around you, you are creating it. You will create whatever life for yourself that you are willing to believe in.

You Are God - An In-Depth Conversation with Dr. Wayne Dyer


You Are God


Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has been teaching people to live better lives for nearly 40 years. First coming from the perspective of a psychologist and then as a spiritual teacher, his books, recordings, and talks have influenced millions. After four decades, his core message has become incredibly simple and equally profound: You are the same as your Source. You are God. Because you come from God, you cannot be anything but God. All of Dr. Dyer’s current work boils down to helping people realize this fundamental truth and overcome obstacles to living lives that fully recognize it.
Dr. Dyer is the most popular teacher in the mind/body/spirit genre. He has written more than 30 books, and his National Public Television specials have raised more than $120 million for public television. The most recent vehicles of his teaching include the 2007 book Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao, in which Dr. Dyer reflects upon the verses of the Tao Te Ching and their wisdom in living a life of balance and alignment with nature; his new bookExcuses Begone!, in which he examines how to overcome memes—the viral, self-defeating thinking habits that prevent you from living your life’s purpose; and the new feature film The Shift, which stars Dr. Dyer, Portia de Rossi, and Michael DeLuise in a spiritual movie about discovering that life purpose.
We sat down with Dr. Dyer in Tampa, Florida, and talked about current topics both metaphysical and mainstream, from the law of attraction to laws about gay marriage; from the impact of Lao-tzu to the impact of Barack Obama; and from how we are failing future generations to how we can best serve them.
Hemachandra: Starting with The Secret, which has reached such a wide audience, the emphasis in today’s popular understanding of the law of attraction is predominantly about material wealth. What are the consequences of that kind of skew to this teaching?
Dyer: First of all, I think the law of attraction has been misstated. You do not attract what you want. You attract what you are. That’s how the law of attraction works.
Twenty-five centuries ago in ancient China, Lao-tzu said there were four virtues. If you live them—if you live in a place of God-consciousness—the universe will give you God-consciousness. If you live in a place of ego-consciousness, though, the universe will give you more of that.
One virtue is reverence for all of life. You revere all life. You never kill, you never harm, you never wish harm, and you never have thoughts of harm directed toward yourself or others. Another virtue is natural sincerity, which is manifested as honesty. Just be honest with who you are. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not. Don’t be a phony. Walk your talk. That’s how God works, so doing it is emulating how Source works. The third virtue is gentleness, which manifests as kindness toward all others.
The fourth virtue, which is relevant here, is supportiveness. If you say to the universe, “Gimme, gimme, gimme,” which is what a lot of the work around the law of attraction says because of a misinterpretation, then the universe gives you back what you offered out. You get more “gimme, gimme, gimme.” “Gimme” means you don’t have enough. You have a shortage. The universe just keeps giving you more shortage because of what you’re thinking and saying.
If, on the other hand, you say to the universe again and again, “How may I serve? How may I serve? How may I serve?” and you live a life of constancy reflecting that principle, the universe will respond back, “How may I serve you?”
Hemachandra: With an approach centered on lack and need, even if you are getting things, the feeling of shortage keeps coming back to you. So no matter what you get, you still always feel the need, don’t you?
Dyer: Exactly, and that’s why I say you don’t get what you want, you get what you are. When you live the virtues—when you live in that place of God-consciousness—all these rules we have about cause and effect, beginnings and ends, don’t have any impact or relevance. As Joel Goldsmith said, in the presence of the God realized, the laws of the material world do not apply.
That’s why people who live steadfastly at a place of God-consciousness can perform miracles. They can create. They can make virtually anything happen. From the space in-between, that last inch is the critical inch you have to take to reach that place. Every once in a while, I get to that place of God-consciousness, and miracles do happen.

I'm doing nothing and that is a refreshing change

are here

By Rachelle Williams




“Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.” –Lao Tzu


A visit to Italy will soon have you embracing the concept of dolce far niente or “sweetness of doing nothing.” It does not mean being lazy; instead, it’s the idea of finding pleasure in idleness or relaxation. It is the ability to savor an experience, relishing the feeling of wholeness as it fills what is empty. This is a different sort of doing nothing, much more than laying around and wasting time. It offers the opportunity to be in the moment in whatever way you choose and, in the process, improve your life in surprising ways.


Think about the last time you did something only because it pleased you, not because it was expected. This is what makes it so sweet, and such a gift. Society has shifted toward prioritizing hyper-productivity, making the notion of doing nothing seem unproductive and inefficient. If there is time left unfilled during the day, there is an urge to fill it with something. It’s no wonder people have such a hard time relaxing and enjoying moments of nothingness.


If the idea of spending time relaxing and doing nothing is uncomfortable, you are not alone. This is a skill you may have lost touch with but can be reacquired with a bit of practice. The potential is there within you (you had it as a kid) so give yourself permission to at least give it a try.
The Deeper Meaning


For Italians, dolce far niente is a part of everyday life, and they do it well. It is observed in families taking a stroll together, sipping wine with friends at a café, enjoying good coffee, and watching the passersby. Noticeably, there is a feeling of presence and truly enjoying the moment as it is. It is simple and pure. Doing nothing can be an event in itself!


It serves an important purpose as well, probably unwittingly to most, in that it provides a sense of connection, not only to each other but with yourself. As a result, you end up gaining greater clarity about what is important to you at your core. This is a stimulating, always on-the-go society and it has become the default form of living, especially in the West. There is so much pressure to perform and meet expectations, creating a treadmill of stressful activity day after day.


Somewhere along the way society gave up on notions such as relaxation, idleness, and living in the moment as an important part of daily life. Having periods of time with little activity has always been a part of life and was assuredly accepted and enjoyed by your ancestors in a way that has been long forgotten. It never had to be defined, until now. It is easy to be consumed by should’s and must’s. It is easy to forget some of your most basic needs and, along with them, the most basic ways of fulfilling them.

The Importance of Relaxation

With the mindfulness movement, the notion of dolce far niente isn’t as far-fetched as you may have thought. There is something to be said about sitting down and pressing pause on your life from time to time, giving yourself space to take a deep breath and simply be. Mindfulness practices such as meditation, yoga, or nature walks create the space to not only experience—but recognize—life’s sweet moments. The turbulence you and many others feel within can be likened to mud that has been stirred so much it’s hard to see through to what is possible, but it can be settled during moments of quiet.


Start to think of your time spent in solitude or engaging in a relaxing activity as an investment in your health, longevity, and well-being. The belief of not having enough time in the day is a myth that can be unraveled. Everyone has the same amount of time in a day; start to be aware of what consumes your time.


Contrary to what you might think, being too busy can be counterproductive. Think of a washing machine that is crammed with too many clothes. Not much actual washing takes place because there is not enough space to move and churn. This same concept applies to life in general; you can use a little more space to help connect to the pulse of life and enjoy the pleasures it has to offer, no matter how small.


Here are a few of the benefits you may experience from incorporating more relaxing or pleasurable “doing nothing” moments into your days:
Restorative—both mentally and physically
Grounding
Improves relationships
Relieves stress
More productive
Connects you with your intuition
Boosts creativity
Allows time for reflection
Helps to process ideas and information


The Art of Relaxation

Initially, trying to sit down and relax can be overwhelming—like opening the floodgates. Your nervous system may have been over-stimulated for so long that it might have a hard time recalibrating and adjusting to this newfound activity. You can’t expect to be going a mile a minute and then be able to stop without allowing some transition time. Be gentle on yourself and patient and start by doing small nothings at first. You may need to give your body and mind a little time to adjust and learn the importance of doing nothing.


Quick Practice Exercise
Set aside 5–10 minutes of time at home or someplace quiet where you feel calm and comfortable. Turn off all distractions and let people know not to disturb you. Try placing your phone in a different room from the one you are in as this is a powerful distraction. 

Now, close your eyes—or you can choose not to, do what feels comfortable—and then simply do nothing, whatever that means to you. The idea is that if someone were to call and ask what you were up to in that moment, you would say, legitimately, “nothing.” 

After 5–10 minutes, stop and observe how you feel. Was it uncomfortable? Was it relaxing? There will be many feelings and thoughts that arise, just observe them all without judgment. This is a starting point to help you test the waters and begin tapping into your inner world where your needs and desires lie. You will find it requires a bit of practice at first. Try doing this each day for a couple weeks, put it in your calendar, and see how it evolves and what begins to emerge.


There are many ways to engage in idle activity; it’s an art that you will refine over time. If you need some ideas here are some creative ways to spend time enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing:
  • Take an epsom salt bath.
  • Disconnect from technology for a day.
  • Read a good book.
  • Perform breathing exercises.
  • Have a day of rest.
  • Watch your children play.
  • Take time to smell the roses (of course!).
  • Discover your inner artist.
  • Give someone a hug.
  • Take an afternoon nap.
  • Watch the sunset or stare at the stars at night.
  • Have dinner with a dear friend or loved one.
  • Enjoy your food.
  • Take a walk in nature.
  • Meditate.

The options are endless. You might look at this list and think you are not necessarily doing nothing, you are always doing something. Remember, the idea is to find pleasure in moments of idleness or relaxation. Enjoy those moments where you heart is full and you feel lighter as your burdens are uplifted, even if it’s just during that time. You are giving yourself the space to think and feel deeply in a way that can’t happen when consumed by the busyness of your daily activities.


You don’t need to go to Italy to experience dolce far niente. It’s time to relax and reclaim that part of yourself. You were given the ability to feel and experience life in a complicated, often messy, but always beautiful way. Take advantage of the gift of pure pleasure you were given—life is short! What will you do today to start re-discovering the sweetness of doing nothing?

The Designer of Reality Adventure

The Designer of Reality™ Adventure Program is a transformative catalyst in the inevitable raising of individual and eventually global consciousness that will result in a significant evolution of the human species.  

For centuries the human species has been dominated by the physical world.  The mission of the Designer of Reality™ program is to remind people that they have been creating the physical world all along and that it is the result of and not the cause of their beliefs about existence.  In 1903 Allen published As a Man Thinketh which was loosely based on the Biblical passage of Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he".  It was not until nearly a century later that it became undeniably clear through science and experience that this was literally true.  Whatever you believe in heart and mind will become physical reality – all of physical reality is totally a figment of the imagination.

This program introduces the idea that a human being is actually an extremely sophisticated “avatar” given consciousness by an unbounded energy field that is the source of all elements of the physical world.  Each avatar has been given a chance to play a part in a grand adventure interacting with and literally creating the ever evolving physical world.  From the moment of birth each avatar begins to create a character to play in the adventure.   As a natural part of this development, a belief in separation develops as one must define their own character.  The challenge is that it is very easy to get caught up in how one believes others see them.  The tendency is to just become part of what psychologist Carl Jung called “the collective unconscious”.  We begin to simply react to what’s going on instead of controlling it.  We begin to think the life story we are writing with our imagination is the result of the physical world instead of the cause.  If we settle for the collective unconscious belief about reality we are subject to limitations of all sorts.  This is why the Designer of Reality™ Adventure Program is so important – it reminds us that we have complete control over everything in the physical world and we only have limits if we accept them.  We are here for the adventure of discovering how good we can get at intentionally creating the wonderful world we imagine in all of our hopes and dreams.

Everyone is a Designer of Reality by default or intention.  This Adventure is about learning to claim and master your unlimited power to create the reality springing from your imagination into physical existence.  Like anything else you want to excel at, it takes practice and discipline to be in control of your imagining and create what you really want rather than what you don’t want.  The Designer of Reality™ Adventure Program is a guide to staying on the path of least resistance at the leading edge of Reality.  The program shows us why we can’t get it wrong and that the positive evolution of Spirit is unstoppable. As a very important note, the program also reminds us that there is never anything to fear because while we will go through many avatars during our adventuring the point of consciousness that is our true being is pure energy and inseparable from the timeless unbounded energy field that is the essence of all Creation. 

So, while (your name here) is here in this particular place in the ongoing and ever evolving adventure, never forget that the world is whatever you imagine it to be – let’s make it a wonder and fun filled story we make up. 


The choice really is all yours.

Designer of Reality

We are all designers of reality.  We either do it by intention or default - for most of us, it is a haphazard mix of default and intention.  That is what we want to get people to work on fixing.  The secret to having a lot of fun in life is learning to take more and more control over the life you are creating for yourself.

It all starts with a good story.  Emphasize the word GOOD.  Too many people cast themselves in a difficult drama or even a really sad story.  We are here to tell the world that it is not necessary.  Life is not supposed to be hard.  You don't deserve problems - they are only there if you need them to find out where you really want to go or who you really want to be.  The missing piece of the puzzle for most people is they just don't accept or even suspect that they are in full control of everything that happens in their life.  Now you may be quick to say that is crazy - there are simply too many moving parts for me to be in complete control.  Wrong.  And, as we already mentioned you already are running the show - either by default or intention or the very common blended variety.

Anyway, that's it.  Helping you and me write more enjoyable stories for our lives once we realize we can never be a victim or have a bad outcome to anything unless we have allowed it to be.  Clearly the first part is getting people to accept they are totally in control of their personal reality.  Lot's of people, maybe even you believe reality to be too big for you to handle let alone control.  To get started see if you can get comfortable with the idea that while it is influenced by everyone else, your reality is unique to you and may be dramatically different than what someone in your family or Joe Anyone on the street experiences.  You already know you sure don't agree on everything and they are just as sure they are right as you are - so that's a start.

What do you want to do in life?

I am going to be doing a talk for a bunch of middle and high school students on goal setting.  It is really about deciding what you want to do in life.  I want to get them to appreciate the importance of really picking what they want - not what they think they are supposed to want or someone else wants for them.

So many of us live our lives based nearly entirely on what we have been told about life by others.  It is vitally important if we are to be really successful in life that we start following our heart and not our mind.  That bio-computer brain of ours can only regurgitate ideas and beliefs that have originated in the past and if we do not find new ideas of our own we will be doomed to repeating old cycles over and over again.  That is not always bad but it will most likely prevent you from finding out the things that will bring you the most joy and personal satisfaction.  

There is a word from India's spiritual traditions: dharma.  A definition of the word is "life purpose".  The tradition suggests that we each come into life with a unique life purpose - a way we can offer the most value to the world and ourselves.  For some the path is clear.  If you are born with great musical ability or athletic ability you clearly had a pretty definite plan about your life before you got here but most of us are not so lucky.  Further, because from the moment we are born we are told stories about what we should do, what our parents and friends think we should do to be successful; we may never discover what we really wanted to do until much later in life or never.  My hope is to get people to take charge of their storyline NOW rather than later.

A good way to help find the right path is to ask yourself what you want to be doing 5 years from now if there were no restrictions and it could be absolutely anything that would be making you happy. Give yourself several categories to design:  work is the one most people will focus on first but think about what you want for family, friends, a home (your living arrangement), relationships, leisure, things you want to do and places you want to go.  Fill up a bunch of pages with a list of hopes and dreams for every category that comes to mind.  Writing them down is important because it will help clarify and define what you really want and start setting you on a path toward those objectives.

I want to assure you that there is no reason why you cannot have everything you come up with to be part of your life.  What you will find is that as long as you accept that you deserve to have all of your hopes and dreams come true, they will all become your reality as quickly as you are willing to believe in their reality.  You will have a passion for the things you really want to do and be and that passion will focus your energy to build a path to their realization.  

The greatest part of the process is that as you move toward realizing your personal hopes and dreams you will find that you are benefiting many others in helping them follow their path because we are all so closely connected by the very energy that shapes reality.  The PositiVibes you generate as you move with excitement and anticipation toward your goals will bless everyone around you - the whole of Creation actually.  Knowing this is important because you must never let yourself fall into the trap of thinking you are being selfish for wanting and having such a great life.  Know that you have been "inspired" to have all of your personal hopes and dreams because in moving toward them you will be on the path that offers your best possible contribution to the well being of the whole world.


Along the way, trust your heart - or maybe you call it your intuition - to keep you on the right path.  If it "feels" right you will never get far off course.  Follow your heart; fill your days with things and activities that fill you with appreciation and joy.  Have fun!  That really is what it is all about.

Just Let It Go!


So, we are trying to write a good script for the day and a great new chapter of our life.  If things are not currently falling into place as you would like, it is probably time to just let go.  If you are too attached to the outcome you are seeking, it can result in a lot of frustration.  You start beating up on yourself either asking what you are doing wrong or why you are not doing enough of the things you think you need to do get the results you want.  Maybe you even start feeling like you should blame someone or something other than yourself for what is going on or not going on.  You know you just need to get back to having fun and being carefree but the circumstances make it seem impossible.

What can be done?  Just let go and put all the problems in the hands of Source – mentally throw it out to the Universal Energy Field and ask for the answers.  A course correction is clearly needed. 
Obviously you need work on improving your mood as quickly as possible.  If you sit around feeling sorry for yourself, you’ll just attract more things to feel sorry for yourself about.  So, again, let the problem go.  You don’t have to solve it.  The answer will come to you if you put the question out there and then expectantly – and ideally enthusiastically – listen for inspiration.  Spending some extra time in meditation might be useful or going for a bike ride or petting your cat – anything to allow you to let go of your concern… fear… anger and other emotions that are not going to help you reset your course in a positive direction.  Using a statement like “everything always works out for me” can be helpful.  A dose of gratitude can work wonders – start general so you can get away from the immediate issues – we live in a wondrous world with much beauty – there bound to be people and things in your life you can feel happy about – get those feelings going.  Just let the other stuff go for a bit.

Get some gratitude bubbling up in you.  We live in a rich, abundant Universe and we have access to an energy field of infinite possibilities.  Trust that your answer is on its way and listen for it… that little voice of intuition in your head is your personal connection to the network, the Universal energy field.  You have a whole bunch of Spirits out there eager to help you get anything you want accomplished.  You just have to allow the inspiration to flow through to your consciousness.  Make a connection with Source.  Prayer, meditation, petting your cat, a walk in the woods – step away from the problems and listen for your answers.
