Tired of Being Blown About in the Wind of Life?
By: Shaman Maggie Wahls    Saturday, Apr 16, 2011
In the day to day existence we struggle through, sometimes it feels as if we get no where. We try so hard just to stay afloat in this sea of hunger, panic, need and competition. It is an amazingly hard thing to keep one’s sanity and some sense of calm and peace when we are swirling around in other people’s demands and expectations. As I celebrate my 55th year as a Traditional Shaman, I have surely seen much and experienced for myself this sense of trying to have a life that seemed to never be allowed in peace. I have worked with all kinds of people and have brought what help I ...Read More

Exercise - How Important is Your Relationship?
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Saturday, Sep 18, 2010
How important is your relationship? Here are some questions to help you determine the importance of your relationship compared to other aspects of your life. When you become aware of exactly how you spend your time, you might discover that your priorities are different than you thought they were. It is quite common that people spend little time with those things they say matter most to them, and more time on those things they say don’t matter to them. The most important thing in this exercise is that you and your partner become aware of each other’s priorities with regard to ...Read More
Your Destined Path
By: Nancy Huber    Friday, Aug 27, 2010
SYNCHRONICITIES You know you are on your path when…………………. We are all here for a purpose, and though most of us strive to find out what that is, we don’t often appear to get the opportunity. When you start down your path though, the synchronicities that occur are solid proof that it is the right one. For years my hobby was gathering with friends to do remote viewing and absent healing for others. After inheriting the family farm (ours since 1844) it took a while to realize the amazing energies there (The house is in a bright white vortex,  ...Read More
The Keys to Heart Freedom
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Thursday, Jul 08, 2010
"Twelve Keys to the Kingdom of Your Heart’s Desire" Thought cannot heal a broken heart, and thinking will never open a heart that is closed. Only feeling can accomplish such miracles. As Blaise Pascal said long ago, “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.” The keys to healing and opening your heart can be found not in rationality but in the realms of emotion, energy, and spirit. You enter these mysterious domains through a relationship when you surrender fully to the joys and sorrows of giving and receiving love. In a truly committed relationship you dare ...Read More
Exercise: Life Reflection
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Tuesday, Apr 06, 2010
The purpose of this exercise is to help you learn to become detached from the results of your actions. When you are detached from the results of your actions you can more easily stay completely immersed in the moment, fully enjoying each step along the path you are on. This can dramatically increase the effectiveness of your actions (i.e., you get consistently better results!), the clarity of your thought improves, making decisions is greatly simplified, worry and distress are reduced or eliminated. Step 1: Look back over your life and pick out three examples of success, accomplishment or ...Read More
Heart Opening Eye Gaze Meditation
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Wednesday, Mar 24, 2010
Time: 2 minutes per day, every day you are together. Lovers sit facing each other. For one minute, the first partner sends a look of Love, using only the face and eyes to send the love, but not speaking any words. Later in the day or evening, the other lover sends a look of love in this same way. The partner receiving the look also remains silent. Notes and Comments This can be quite emotionally uncomfortable for some people, but we assure you that it becomes easy. In fact it becomes so profoundly moving, that you will become addicted to this simple exchange of love. This is a situation in ...Read More
The Health Benefits of Sex
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010
Lose weight. Reduce stress. Lower your cholesterol level. Improve your circulation. Live longer. Stay younger. Sounds like an ad for a new wonder drug right? In fact it's a partial list of the benefits of humanity's oldest and most pleasurable pastime - sex. Most of us are aware of the feel-good benefits of sex while we're engaged in it, but do you also know that there are benefits which carry on after the sweaty bodies have dried and the sweet talk has reverted to sports? For instance: Maintaining Ideal Body Weight There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. For every 3500 calories you burn ...Read More
Tantra, Monogamy and Safe Sex
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Friday, Mar 12, 2010
The concern about safe sex has resulted in a revival of monogamy. But there is no turning back the clock. Sex is out of the closet since the free love days of the sixties. The problem with monogamy has always been boredom. The initial passion drops off pretty rapidly in a typical relationship, but not the lust of sexual desire. Eventually, the right (or wrong) set of circumstances come together and you have infidelity. It's not that people are bad, they are just human. To be human is to be in a body. To be in a body is to be sexual. For men being sexual means they sometimes think with what is  ...Read More
