When building a spiritual practice, it is most important to have a strong foundation in place. This will support you during times when you are experiencing challenges, and rapid growth or change. Many spiritual traditions use the metaphor of the tree to describe our human energetic physiology.
When we observe a tree in nature, we are only looking at the half of it that is above ground. The tree spans two realms – its root system penetrates the earth as wide and as deep as it reaches upwards and outwards into the air. The root system of the tree enables the tree to weather massive storms, sustain upward growth and expansion, and feed itself from the nourishment found in the soil.
What is sexual health and how can I improve my sexual satisfaction?
This is not an easy question to answer concisely, partly because sexual heath is a relatively new and complex concept only about twenty years old. Secondly, answering this question involves some "gender-bender" discussion that may not seem intuitive, as you will read. Finally, it is not an easy question to answer without offending some people’s sensibilities because it requires discussing sex!
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers "sexual health the integration of the physical, emotional, intellectual and social aspects of being sexual that are positively enriching and enhance personality, communication and love. Sexual health is not just the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. It includes a sex-positive approach to one’s own sexuality as well as sexual relationships which are safe and free from coercion, discrimination and violence." Simply put, sexual health is a state of satisfaction and well-being regarding most things about you as a sexual person.
The law of attraction has been around for a very long time; however, it has recently found a much wider audience through the film and companion book, “The Secret.” But, does "The Secret" illustrate the law of attraction beyond the ego?
A couple of years ago, a friend sent me an email titled “The Secret”. The email had a link in it with a short note informing me that “The Secret” was a new feature-length documentary film that I could watch online for free by clicking on the link.
I clicked on the link and was immediately impressed with the professionalism and quality of the film’s opening, flashy graphics, and stylish presentation. I was struck by its seductive lure-its promise to be the first film to divulge to a mass audience the long-held “secret” that unlocks the manifestation of our dreams. Independent documentary films had certainly come a long way in glamor, style, hook, and message.
A year ago I visited an old friend. After a nice dinner with her family and the consequential clean up of the kitchen I asked, “Where do you keep your recycling bin?” She looked at me incredulously. “Just throw it in the trash.”
Upon further examination of her environment, I found that she was using the recycling bin as a litter box in her garage. “Oh, that thing!” she says. “We were keeping a bunch of tools in it for a while, but I turned it into a litter box.”
In a way, I was glad that she was using the recycling bin for something, which in itself is a form of recycling. At least it wasn’t buried in a land fill.
If your recycling bin is in the garage holding muddy boots or storing junk, you might want to rethink your habits.
