Teaching Children How to Clear Their Minds
By: Sarah Valley    Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012
Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
Consider what thoughts sprout in your mind during a typical day. You spend some of our day thinking about what you are doing in the present moment, yet, you might be surprised how little time you actually devote to this. Some thoughts occur on purpose, using our conscious attention. For other thoughts, we do not decide to think them; they simply live in our minds. We spend endless hours on these mind-wandering thoughts. Our stream of consciousness is simply a flowing series of thoughts running through our minds. Many people’s stream of consciousness takes the form of an internal ...Read More
Meditating with Your Child a Practice Based on Our Ten Sense
By: Sarah Valley    Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012
Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
Aristotle defined the five senses we all understand today. Our five senses are smell, hearing, taste, sight and touch. These senses allow us the witness beauty, help us learn new things and let us know what is happening in our environment. They also play an important role in meditation and other inward focused activities such as yoga. Relying on our senses during meditation helps us find our focus and adds an element of excitement. I call this sensational meditation. This practice is as easy as listening to a soothing bell sound or imagining a tree in your mind, making it a perfect practice ...Read More
Meditating Children Find Excitement Within the Stillnesss
By: Sarah Valley    Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012
Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
A meditation movement for children is quietly emerging across the United States and throughout the world. Children are learning meditation techniques at home, in school, in after-school clubs, and in churches, yoga studios and YMCAs. Parents, teachers, and therapists are finding that meditation helps children in as many ways as there are children learning its techniques. Teachers report that their classroom environments are more peaceful with meditation. They attribute this to their students’ ability to express care and compassion for one another. Teachers also say their students’  ...Read More
Introducing Meditation to Children
By: Sarah Valley    Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012
Conditions: ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety
Children are naturally good meditators, therefore, introducing your child to this fabulous new world of experience is quite easy. Many adults are skeptical about a child’s ability to meditate because many adults find it difficult to sit down and focus. But children love meditation—it allows them to use their creative imaginations without limitation. Although they might be sitting still, their minds are in Technicolor overdrive at a level many grownups have forgotten is possible. Children do not require a dark, quiet room or a place free from distractions when they meditate. ...Read More
Pennies from Heaven

Conditions: © 2010 Anthon St Maarten
They say when an angel misses you, they toss a penny down from heaven. Sadly, not everyone knows how much truth there is in this old adage. Spirit has many interesting ways to communicate with us, and always on a very personal level. Your spiritual signs and signals can range from the truly spectacular to the very mundane. And sometimes they can be found in the most unusual places, or when they are least unexpected. Two of the most commonly sighted phenomena are coins or ‘pennies’, as well as feathers. Depending on your personal belief system, these items are left around for us by  ...Read More
The Harvest of Mind and Spirit
By: VitalityLink Finder    Monday, Dec 19, 2011
There is so much to learn from other cultures. Here lies a worldwide harvest of human powers and potentialities, drawn from profound studies of the cultures and civilizations of many lands and many peoples. There is so much to learn and understand from the skills and knowledge from all over the earth. Each civilization contains riches beyond even a gleaning of the planet’s physical wealth, its oil, its diamonds, its metals. I have made it my life’s work to seek the human capacities activated within cultures around the world. The intensity of this time burns in me because of a ...Read More
The Great Mind-Energy-Healing Connection. Part 3: Looking Forward
By: VitalityLink Finder    Sunday, Dec 18, 2011
So what will the New Millennium bring? [Continued from Part 2. Started in Part 1] If we listen to the "learned few" we can look forward to a technological nightmare in which everything, including our treasured bank accounts, will be frozen, and we will be plunged into absolute chaos. They say the simple things like the supply of electricity, gas and water will be interrupted to such an extent that there will be disease and destruction all around us. On the other hand we have the "chosen few" who are spreading doom and gloom by spouting "earth change" prophesies - visions about destructive ...Read More
The Great Mind-Energy-Healing Connection. Part 2: Re-Thinking Energy
By: VitalityLink Finder    Sunday, Dec 18, 2011
Let us have a look at energy. One fact is that you cannot trap energy. It has to, and does, keep flowing. Do you really think that you - a Human Being - have the ability to trap something as powerful as the "Stuff" of the total Universe? I do not think so. [Continued from Part 1] So what about the mind and what really happens when we experience trauma and pain in our past? What happens? What happens is stagnation. Scenario: In the North Americas there is an animal that lives in the clean mountain streams. It is only relatively small compared to the effect its lifestyle can have on even the ...Read More
The Great Mind-Energy-Healing Connection
By: VitalityLink Finder    Sunday, Dec 18, 2011
What do I know about it? Honestly, I can only know and talk about 'that which I have experienced'. For me to talk about anything else would be just a re-presentation of someone else's theory - a theory unlikely to have a firm foundation because it is impossible to truly define the intangible. All we can do is observe and be aware of what is going on around us. What is it that changes when we climb out of the limited beliefs we have about ourselves and begin to experiment with the phenomena of Mind and ITs incredible 'Intelligence' or 'Energy'. I don't mean to bore you or to state the obvious,  ...Read More
Spirituality and Substance Dependence
By: VitalityLink Finder    Saturday, Dec 17, 2011
Topic: Addiction and Abuse - Treatment and Healing
Conditions: substance abuse, addiction
It is the central tenet of this article that not only is there a causal link between spirituality and dependency, but that substance abuse/dependency is the perversion of a spiritual drive, which is the conscious or unconscious manifestation of the human desire to transcend ego, societal and/or existential limitations and other life challenges. Secondary to this argument is the proposition that the connection between spirituality and substance dependency goes beyond that of causality and influence, that in fact the two are manifestations of the same ontological phenomenon - the phenomenon of ...Read More
