Feeling the Positive Opposite

Feeling the Positive Opposite: "I have a friend who often gets herself into various situations that are troublesome to her. When I ask her how she feels about the particular situation she's viewing in the moment, she gives me one of a number of possible negative feelings. When I ask her how she wants to feel, she always answers with the same feeling: 'free.'"

Faith, Yes, But in What?

Faith, Yes, But in What?: "We all live by faith. The question is, in what?

In most conversations about faith, we generally mean that 'everything will work out for the good.' In a religious setting, it usually means to have faith 'in God' or perhaps faith 'in the teachings' of the religion. With a marriage partner, it generally means to have faith 'in the partner's fidelity.'

As we give our attention to the various aspects of our life, we have the opportunity to consider in what we put our faith. Here are some aspects of life you might view and consider the following questions."

Dichotomy of Preference

Dichotomy of Preference: "This is a wonderful world of duality. The physical world as we know it could not exist and grow, nor could our consciousness expand, without duality. I think this is extraordinary.

Each of us selects the side of the duality that comes into our life by how/where we focus of our attention. We also get to choose the duality itself; that is, we choose the scale or dichotomy or opposites that define the duality. Always, on one end of a scale of duality is one thing/idea and at the other end is either the opposite or the lack of that thing/idea. The naming of the duality can be empowering or disempowering."

Finding the Rhythm in Your Breath

Finding the Rhythm in Your Breath: "Focusing on the breath can be a truly amazing experience. Ordinarily, of course, the breath works in the automatic mode. Thank goodness for that! If your breathing needed your constant attention, you wouldn't have time for other adventures.

As an intentional practice, for short periods of time, giving your full attention to your breathing can be a very powerful, simple, brief meditation. A "short period of time" might be measured by numbers of breaths, like, 3 in-breaths and 3 out-breaths. Or the time might be in minutes, like 1 minute or 2 or 3. Or the time might be viewed through or measured by an event, like sitting at a traffic stop light."...

How is Alcohol Affecting Your Weight?

How is Alcohol Affecting Your Weight?: "So you�ve been exercising regularly, and cutting back on your calories to meet your weight loss goals. Everything is going great with your new changes but you notice the number on the scale isn't moving much and your body isn't changing shape as quickly as you'd hoped.
