The Golden Tile

This is a guest post by Andrea Brook.  We are currently doing a fascinating series on Blog-Talk Radio, called "Life in the Seven Chakras." Conversations are always interesting when Andrea and I are together ...you won't want to miss it!

My yoga room is paved with Mexican tiles. They are uneven. The color is inconsistent with various shades of salmon and brown, making them look dirty. The stucco between the tiles is thick, maybe a quarter of an inch, and coarse. It dips down between the tiles, and as a result the floor is irregular and bumpy. Each tile rises up from this rough base, travels unevenly and then drops again, each like a tiny mesa. In the Mexican tiles, there are little indentations as if a miniscule asteroid has come crashing down, leaving its mark upon it.

Life-Style Stars & Celebs Doing Good

My daughter Daniela and her friend Taylor Frey formed a club called F.A.S.T. - Females Against Sex Trafficking. They were in high school when they learned that Human trafficking was a growing concern in our nation and around the world. Their goal was to help bring more awareness to their immediate community. Daniela reported that "an estimated 600 - 800 thousand people are trafficked globally across international borders, and it is growing in numbers within our border. Girls and boys are traded for money, in exchange for sex and slavery. Many women and girls are lured with false hopes of a better future then stripped of their passports and all means of supporting themselves or ability to escape."

What can you do to help?

Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher say they are mounting a war against Human Trafficking and they want you to be the Next Real Man to join the Fight!

Life on the Spiritual Level

A collective consciousness runs through every cell of our body, yet, we have complete control over our personal thoughts, emotions, health and well-being.

 Living life on the spiritual level means loving ourselves and all life.

• Choosing work that we are passionate about gives us meaning, a sense of purpose and we feel inspired.
• We feel good and we feel supported by what we help to create.
• By living green, we're giving back and helping to sustain the environment.
• If we learn to apply the principles of feng shui (at home or in the office) we learn how to design a personal space that enhances us.
• Living life on the spiritual level means being aware of the products we make and the products we choose and how they affect us and the world around us. 
• It means understanding the food supply, particularly around factory farmed animals and how they are mistreated. We need to wake-up to the fact that we take on the negative energy of mistreatment and dis-ease when we eat animals that are treated poorly. We ingest unnecessary anti-biotics and other drugs that we didn't ask for, ...don't want or need.

...A New Relationship To Come In and more!

This is a guest post by Marla Martenson.

When our homes become cluttered other aspects of our lives tend to feel gridlocked too. Clutter is both a symptom and a cause of stuck energy. I know in my own life, when my desk is a mess, I can’t write as freely, and when my bedroom, where I keep all of my books, magazines, and a lot of other stuff is cluttered, I literally feel like I am suffocating.

Clutter takes form as old Christmas or birthday cards to mugs or shot glasses that you brought home from vacation to old books or magazines that you will never read again. Everything that surrounds you should be working for you in some way. Clearing clutter creates space for us to discover our true path in life, who we want to become and what experiences we want to create.

The Power of Prayer!

Life's about connection!  Discovering our similarities.  Celebrating our differences.  I am a very Spiritual person. As a child, I longed to be near the light. I would go to church whenever I was invited and am grateful to have experienced many different religions. For the most part, I saw a common thread of strong values combined with good intentions.  I learned not to see any religion as separate from me and that a positive force of focused energy, light, intention and prayer can heal! My life is living proof of it.

My intention is to create a space of support for you to connect with one another on my personal prayer list. Share who you are and how you would like support in a way that is positive. As individuals we can focus our energy towards what we most desire, live life to the fullest and realize our dreams. Click and share who you are and how you would like support. There's Power in Individual and Collective Prayer, so let's pray for one another and pray to the list!

A Warm Heart-felt Thank You to Everyone who Prayed for Me.

Love & Light Always,

Behind the Mask Beneath the Glitter

This is a guest post by Dr. Robin T.W. Yuan - a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice in Beverly Hills, CA, an attending surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and an assistant clinical professor at UCLA School of Medicine. In his latest book, "Behind the Mask, Beneath the Glitter: The Deeper Truths About Safe, Smart Cosmetic Surgery" - Dr. Yuan suggests looking deeper into yourself and your feelings before going under the knife.

Many patients exploring the possibility of cosmetic surgery do so because they want to feel better about themselves or some aspect of their face or body and improve their level of confidence. While cosmetic surgery can truly enhance a persons ideas of who they are, that does not mean all patients looking to boost their ego are good candidates for surgery.
