Why do we need spiritual connection?
We need spiritual connection because our lives are insignificant without it.
We need spiritual connection to help us weather stormy and difficult times.
We need spiritual connection when nature overcomes us with its beauty or its fearsomeness.
We need spiritual connection as a means to fathom life and death.
We need spiritual connection if we are lonely or hurt.
We need spiritual connection filling our lives with purpose, elevation, and reason for striving.
Spiritual connection can be found on one’...

Spiritual connection = guidance and ability to weather the ebbs and flows of life
Spiritual connection is the given; not believing is the fashion. To not believe is in; to believe is kept quiet.
To acknowledge belief in a spiritual presence is hard for many people, even if they believe. Those who don’t believe, don’t believe loudly and look down on those who do. Even those who are vocal about their connection are often uncomfortable when the don’t believers question them.
For those who want to believe, but are unable to connect, here is what the connection can do for you:
Con...

At the top of the stairs is Spiritual connection
Yesterday’s blog was about Spiritual connection. Not sure if that was clear. It was not clear to me until I asked—so I guess I cheated :-). It’s nice to be connected to the Teacher.
From Pond a Connected Existence:
“In The Gift of Intuitive, Dedicated Comfort, steps are provided for connecting with spiritual presence. They are as follows:
‘…observing nature, the actions of babies, the movement of the seasons, the shenanigans of animals, the idiosyncrasies of the opposite sex, and the idiosyncras...

Starting at the bottom of the stairs
Each of us starts out at the bottom of the stairs. It may seem that some people get to skip a few stairs, but that’s an illusion. We all start at the bottom stair and somehow move in a more-or-less upward direction. The movements are quicker for some than others, and some people stop in the middle.
What is at the top of the stairs? Understanding. Satisfaction. Connection. Order. Arrival.

I am delighted to tell you that I now write for Healing.Answers.com
In honor of my new writing venue, Healing.Answers.com, I am sharing an excerpt from the article “The Importance of Delight”.
“Why is it important to delight in delight?The more we let ourselves be moved by the joyous moments in life, the more balanced we are. Our bodies and souls require HAPPY for proper functioning. Even when life is difficult and challenging, finding delight in simple pleasures can affect the way in which we handle the challenges and low tides. Finding moments of un-joylessn...

Vitality revisited
The feeling of life in one’s body is an extraordinary feeling. Noticing the feeling of being alive, of being awake, of being vital. Amazing! Yet taken for granted and not appreciated. Too many people focus on pain or discomfort or hurt feelings. Those things exist, but they are minor in comparison to the body’s vitality!
Vitality! This word should always be written in color and in bold—and with an exclamation point! So that people will read it with energy and with desire. Desire to feel the st...

Overcoming the attention deficit mindset
People who have been categorized as ADD or ADHD or sort of ADD or ADHD or on the verge of ADD or ADHD or growing into ADD or ADHD are in need of balancing:
Balancing of physical needs: proper food and water intake, proper sleep, sufficient movement each day, and relaxation of the eyes
Balancing of emotional needs
Balancing of intellectual needs
Balancing of caregivers’ needs
Handling attention deficit designations can cause much work on the part of caregivers (parents and guardians). Caregivers mu...
One more factor in attention deficit creation
Babies who are born healthy have the ability to observe and learn as they grow. Once they are socialized, their abilities to observe and learn have been set. Not set in stone, set in motion. The type of motion is the determining factor in learning inability. If the motion is too indulgent, pressured or inconsistent, then negative opinions of self and one’s abilities to focus and absorb are formed. If the motion is accepting, engendering of feelings of responsibility and consistent, then abili...
External and internal pressures that affect attention maintenance
Attention deficits occur when attention is unfocused, unavailable, and uninterested. Unfocused: too many distractions, too many choices. Unavailable: inadequate nourishment, hydration, sleep, movement, confidence. Uninterested: the subject of focus is irrelevant or too difficult or presented inadequately.
Maintaining attention when distracted, unable to decide, inadequately nourished, lacking in water, sleep deprived, needing to move, low in confident-ness (not knowing one’s gifts), the materi...

Refuse to be labeled!
Refuse to be labeled!
Refuse to be called deficient!
Refuse to accept mediocrity in yourself!
Refuse to let others think of you as deficient or different!
Refuse to be less than you really are!
These instructions are for people who have been labeled with ADD or ADHD. The labeling applies to very few people, and even then, the labeling is inaccurate. The overuse of these labels is destructive. For people and for society. An epidemic is occurring in which perfectly normal people are turning into peo...
