Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Astrology in the Cultural World

By Paul Bailey


Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do." That is a quote from John Pierpont Morgan the first American to become declared a billionaire. Astrology has often been in the public consciousness and it is not surprising when you realise how long it has existed.

Astrology has been with humankind since we first looked for the skies and sought meaning and answers within the heavens. You will find cave paintings, anthropological artifacts and fragments that show that the lunar cycle had been seen and mapped out as early as 25,000 many years ago. These were the very first steps towards current astrology as we know it, of course the science has changed - the very earliest astrologers have been making predictions according to what they knew had happened and also the likelihood of similar happenings in th future, for totally practical reasons. Numerous tribes have been nomadic and numerous tribes have been agricultural, so these predictions were significant for many reasons.



As time marched on, astrology began to take on new facets and mankind started out to wonder what would happen inside future and astrologers began to look for ways to answer those people questions. If the cycle of the heavens could predict what was happening right here on Earth, then definitely it could predict what would happen to us as individuals?

The first civilisation that we know used astrology in a similar manner to which we use it today, have been the ancient Babylonians. There are theories that the Sumerian's applied astrology at least a thousand many years previous to Babylonia, but there is no true documentary evidence.

So, from around 2,500 BC astrology has existed inside the form that is certainly recognisable to us. For a extended time it was widely accepted as being a science that went hand in hand with astronomy and it is only pretty recently that it has begun to become seen in as a fringe, esoteric practice. As you'd expect for a thing that has been around for so quite long, astrology has shaped and influenced the world and often in surprising ways.

Did you know for instance, how the word influenza has its roots in astrology? This can be traced back to a time as soon as doctors thought that epidemics have been caused by unfavourable celestial alignments and utilized the word influentia to describe this adverse astral influence. Similarly the word disaster nearly literally means 'Bad Star' in Latin. Words that we use to describe folks or actions just like martial, jovial, lunatic, mercurial are all in accordance with the planets and also the astrological aspects as soon as attributed to them.

It's not merely language either, when Gustav Holst wrote the 'Planets Suite', between 1914 and 1916 he applied astrology instead of astronomy as an influence. He employed the corresponding astrological natures of the planets once writing about them, hence Mars became recognized as the 'Bringer of War', Venus the 'Bringer of Peace' and so on. The structure of this movement after played isn't in an astronomical order, but in an astrological order.

Perhaps the most surprising of cultural icons that has been heavily influenced by astrology is the book and subsequent movie 'Gone from the Wind'. Margaret Mitchell claims to get based her 12 primary characters on a signs with the zodiac, this data is said for getting been observed in her notes and in case you know the story and characters then there is small reason to disbelieve this claim.

How you can Discover Inner Peace By Staring At Flowers

By Heather Anderson


This state of no stress and inner peace within either your body and thoughts permits for a deeper connection with the land.

To deepen your connection even further with the land around me I'll spend a bit of time performing the tree meditation. To complete the tree meditation I will close my eyes and put my focus and consciousness on the soles of my feet. For example, if I am standing on sand next to the seaside I will feel what the sand is like next to the pores and skin around the soles of my feet. I will really feel the subtle textures and the way the tiny grains of sand are touching against my body. Or when the sand is wet how the wetness in the sand feels next to the skin at the bottom of my feet.

Or perhaps if I am standing on dry sticks and leaves, I will really feel what it's like to have some of the sharp twigs push next to and dig in to the skin on the soles of my feet. Feeling the subtle nuances of the textures against the soles of my feet. How my forefeet feels in contrast to where my heel touches the earth. Compared to the arches of my feet. Sensing the contact of my feet against the earth.

Once you are aware of this contact and have spent a couple of moments sensing and connecting with your sensations against the soles of one's feet, you can then picture what it is like to shoot roots down along your feet. Much like how a tree experiences the earth. Picture what it's like to send roots down past the topsoil, through the underlying clay layers, around the rocks inside the earth beneath your feet until you reach the bed rock beneath where you're standing.

Really feel how it is to be linked to the earth below. Roots sent deeply into the earth. Really feel the solidness of this. The groundedness of being rooted within the earth. Much as you imagine a tree feels.

Whenever you have explored this feeling of being grounded by sending roots down through the soil layers, next locate your focus onto the body. You will probably discover there's a slight sway happening with your body. A lot similar to the way a tree will sway gently within the wind. Just be with this mild swaying and permit your body to sway and gently rock the way in which it moves. Being with the groundedness within the root connection with the earth, and becoming the swaying link up in the sky. Being to the earth below and connecting with the sky above. The solid rootedness and also the swaying sky connection.

When in this state of inner peace you'll discover there's a middle point. A location in your experience that is at the middle of being grounded to the earth beneath and connected to the sky above. For most individuals this really is around their heart center. Symbolically this level represents walking around the earthly surface. Walking with your heart alongside the earth whilst being grounded to the earth beneath and connected with the spirit of the sky overhead. Being in this middle place while connected both overhead and beneath is a good spot to be on your heart walk.

Grief and Grieving: Beyond Stages and Phases

By Sandy Ingram


In everyone's life, there is the one love affair that in spite of giving all that you have to the relationship, your partner still breaks your heart. The sharp jab to your belly and excruciating pain of abandonment is unique in its ability to incapacitate you and make you do regrettable blunders. The desperate attempts to save what you alone believe is a relationship worth saving produces humiliating encounters with your ex-love that hurt you even more. If your beloved happily moves on to a new love, you are left alone to wither and cry without the benefit of your lovers healing embrace. What can you possibly do to feel better? Here are five techniques to help you survive love grief.

Personal vs professional experience My personal experience as a counsellor working with many clients over the past years has given me lots of exposure. Yet nothing, not the training nor the experience has really prepared me for what life had in store for me on my journey with the grief of losing my child.

There are two problems with this argument. First, the empirical data is too weak to lead to grand generalizations: grief is just too multi-dimensional and unruly. Second, the empiricists could be right when they claim that today's counselors do not shorten the grief cycle, but they erroneously conclude that "grief work" is not necessary. Let me explain.

What Are the Odds Can you meet someone in high school, marry and stay together forever? You can, but it happens rarely these days. You have probably broken it off with other people in the past that you had grown tired of and perhaps, they suffered. You may have felt badly about hurting them, but you were over them and moved on. The difference here is only who walked away first. Most relationships fail, until you find the Right One.

Cut in half I feel emotionally cut in half, carrying a double edge sword: One side being happy for the twin that I have with me in physical form, the other side being ripped apart by grief and loss for the twin that I lost, the one that will never grow up with us. She was so small and her image will remain edged in my memory as I held her helpless little body in my arms for the first and only time.

The tears are shed in private. I usually keep to myself when I'm sad. That is most likely the reason why people think 'I'm fine'. It is as if I can see them sigh in relief as they don't have to deal with the uncontrollable reality of their own relationship with grief. Want to know more? Have a look at my blog.

I was able to improvise a grief-work based solution, while in the midst of the debilitating pain of losing my soulmate. I see no reason for grief theorists not to come up with their own creative prescriptions for measurably reducing grief. If they fail, the empiricists will have won the war; those who grieve will be collateral damage.

In France during winter almost all the camping grounds are closed and some of them are kept open only during summer to accommodate tourists who throng to France during summer thereby filling these camping sites to capacity.

In France, school vacation is in summer and so most of the French families opt to take their annual vacation in that period.

During summer you may not find accommodation in the camping sites if you get there late in the day. Staff of course will do their best to put you there if you have walked from your earlier destination on foot.

Prices for staying at camping grounds in France vary in accordance with the facilities that are available on site. Camping grounds in France are given ratings, normally between 2 and 4 stars. The price for setting up a tent is the same as that for bringing a caravan to a camping ground in France.

Electricity charges are added of course to the caravan charges. There is a specified price for a group of three people to stay in these camping grounds in France with great discount packages available for children below 12 years of age.

Sauvage or unauthorized camping is forbidden in France and if you do that you will be in trouble. No doubt many still do that. If you are going to be the one to stay, if you do not make your presence felt by making noise or lighting camp fire you can escape being caught for sauvage.

Meditation Retreat Deep Within Nature

By Heather Anderson


Everything in nature has a mild inner voice inside. Every tree. Every rock. Every cloud. Every storm. Using your internal voice you are able to ask every thing questions. Then just pay attention. Hear the answers you get back during a deep meditation. The objects in nature might also ask you questions. Again, just pay attention and react with your inner voice. That's how you talk with nature. A conversation with nature.

During the threshold stage of your nature immersion, remain aware of your intentions. Go exactly where your heart is guiding you. Do whatever your heart is guiding you to do. Listen to the messages nature is continuously giving you. Speak with nature together with your delicate voice within. Appreciate the conversation. Following some time you'll melt. Melt in to the wisdom and mystery of nature. Discovering and becoming your authentic nature in nature. Being both a drop within the ocean and the entire ocean simultaneously.

There will be a correct time to write your insights down. Once the time is right, write. When it's time to sleep, rest. When it is time for you to yawn, yawn. Every thing in nature has it's all-natural rhythm. You as well have your natural rhythm. Feel into your all-natural rhythm and be your all-natural rhythm.

The following stage of the nature immersion is known as the incorporation phase. This really is where you take all your insights and bring them into your daily life. After the threshold phase you'll probably have a lot of pages created about the insights you've gained throughout the nature immersion.

Now will be the time to reflect and integrate these insights into your existence.

As you glance over your notes and reflect, you may really feel like writing more insights. Take your time while doing this. It might take you a couple of days till the insights stop flowing.

Once you have all the insights down on paper, you are able to then start making a list of 'things to do' in order to bring these insights into your life. Insights are great, nevertheless by their own alone absolutely nothing inside your existence will change without taking action on them.

While you review your insights, the following stage would be to ask the query 'What will be the following step?' after which write bullet factors of 'things to do' to bring this insight into your existence. Aim to get at least 3x bullet point for each main insight you saw during the threshold phase.
