Sound Foundations: 7 Ways to Use Sound to Enhance Your Life

In this post, you’ll discover the principles of sound foundations and learn 7 steps to incorporate these concepts into your own life. We live in a Universe of vibration and that we ourselves are Beings made of vibration/sound. We affect each other, our environment and ourselves through our personal resonance. Entrainment is the term used to describe the process by which one vibrating source locks on to another source and brings it into step with itself. So, if something is vibrating at an unnatural frequency, we can bring it back into balance using entrainment. […]

The Law Of Change

The law of change states that nothing remains the same forever and everything is in a state of constant flux. It is a fundamental principle of the universe that governs everything in existence. In this post, we'll explore the law of change in greater depth and how it impacts our lives. We'll take a closer look at the different causes of change, including choices we make, chance events, and crises. I'll also show you how to harness the law of change to adapt and grow in the face of life's challenges. Let's get started. What is the Law of Change? The law of change states that everything is in the process of becoming something else. It has a constant and dramatic effect on our lives. Change happens everywhere and with everyone and happens constantly. In the galaxies of outer space, where our sun will burn out in a few hundred million years, change is happening. In the subatomic world, where particles are colliding with one another and morphing into something else in hundredths of a second, change is happening. Everything is always changing. So too in our lives, change is the one constant that we can be absolutely sure of. Life is in constant motion and is forever changing and becoming something new. Change in business: No business stays the same year after year. You are either gaining market share or losing market share. You are either innovating new products and gaining on your competition or your competition is innovating new products and gaining on you. You are becoming either more competitive or less competitive. You are either gaining customers or losing customers. You may choose to make no changes to your business. But the marketplace, however, is not static. Change in relationships: So too in our relationships with our friends, children, parents, spouses, or co-workers; all are in the process of becoming something else. Through using the dynamics of choice we can choose to deepen and enrich the relationships that are important to us. Change in health and spirituality: Our health will not remain the same. Our choices in diet, exercise, thoughts, and lifestyle will all have their effect. So too with our spirituality. Left alone, unattended, it will not stay the same but will wither into something that no longer nourishes us. By choosing to enrich our spirituality through practices, prayer, and study, and making this an active part of our life, we reap the rewards. Life demands that we be in rhythm with the eternal laws, embrace change when change is called for, and move into something new and different on a regular basis. Sometimes these changes will be small and almost unnoticeable. Other times they are dramatic and swift and shock us with their arrival but we should always welcome change as it is a necessary and valuable part of life. So why don’t we live our lives acknowledging this and initiate change on a regular basis, thus putting ourselves in harmony and rhythm with [...]

A Thanksgiving and Holiday Message

It is Thanksgiving day in the U.S. as I am writing this month's article, and I must share with you that Thanksgiving day is one of my favourite holidays. While other holidays have more hoopla, the spirit of Thanksgiving day is pure and simple and touches my heart. It is a day to give thanks for all the joys and blessings in our life. This is an important ritual and practice, especially in a year that has been very challenging for many. But challenges have their gifts as well. It is through the process of surmounting challenges that we develop strength of character, through challenges that the very best of us can be brought forth. So I thought this month I would share with you a poem from the mystic Sufi poet Rumi: It is called The Guest House. “This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, Some momentary awareness comes as an unexplained visitor, Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house Empty of its furniture. Still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out For some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, Meet them at the door laughing And invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, Because each has been sent As a guide from the beyond.” Let’s examine the wisdom in this poem: “This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.” This is an excellent analogy when you think about it. Every single day we experience a constant, never-ending parade of thoughts, feelings and experiences. Sometimes our thoughts are hopeful and sometimes fearful; they can change even within the hour. Sometimes we’re feeling relaxed, sometimes uptight, often at the most inconsequential events. Experiences good, bad and indifferent all come our way in a never-ending sequence. Some stay for a short while and then leave; others linger. It is indeed as if we’re a guesthouse and we’re hosting all these things every day. “Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,” says Rumi. Now this is a little bit harder to understand. Why would you welcome a “crowd of sorrows,” especially if they “sweep your house empty of its furniture.” Well, because “a crowd of sorrows” is the path of the sacred wounding, the path of crisis, and it is an important ritual in our life. A life without any crisis or misfortune would be a shallow life. We can be assured that each of us will have our share of both. This is not fatalism but a recognition of the richness and diversity of a life. Crises always, and I want to emphasis the word “always,” produce new and greater benefits when one approaches them in the way that Rumi suggests. “Welcome them,” because they have arrived bearing gifts, though the gifts are disguised as [...]

Fate and Destiny: What’s the Difference?

Have you ever found yourself asking, “What is the meaning of life?” If so you are not alone. But this is not the right question we should be asking if we are looking for answers about our life. We are supposing that there is some general answer for all and that once understood gives us clarity about life. But each life is different, complex and each of us has a different fate and destiny so there can be no single answer that fits all.

The Fundamental Truth of Who We Are

In this post, you’ll discover a fundamental truth of life that helps us understand consciousness and build a life of abundance. Writer, mystic and philosopher, William James, wrote in 1900: The human individual … lives usually far within his limits; he possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use. James further went on to describe our “habit of inferiority” which first captures us and then locks us in our self-imposed limitations. What is so frightening and insidious about this situation is that it mostly happens without us being conscious of it, and it happens at a very early age. By the time we have reached adulthood, most of us have been confined within the concepts we have constructed about ourselves and the world. […]
