How to Take Charge of Your Purpose in Life - I Did!
By: Jonni Gray    Monday, May 21, 2012
As a doctor of transpersonal psychology, a spiritual modern meditation teacher and past-life regression trainer, I offer expert guidance at the intersection of psychology and spirituality. I can't believe I've been doing this for 20+ years, and I still absolutely LOVE it! As a young teenager, I started exploring the world of spirituality, psychology, and reincarnation through the many fascinating books I virtually inhaled in smelly, dusty second-hand bookstores. I needed to understand what I was feeling, sensing, and recalling. Yes, recalling. (Something I now know as 'spontaneous recall'.) ...Read More
Is Your Type-a Personality Getting in the Way of Your Meditation Efforts?
By: Jonni Gray    Friday, May 04, 2012
The Type-A personality is all masculine and goal-oriented, and therefore has pretty high 3-dimensional expectations. And since meditation has more of a feminine orientation - experience rather than accomplishment - it can be difficult to appease the Type-A. Yet it's because of the typical imbalance that the Type-A needs the feminine access. Our feminine side is all about senses, depth, experience, emotional, engagement, present moment, and our masculine is about direction, goals, future, projection, physical. Love is an experience of our feminine. And meditation and love have even more in ...Read More
What Does it Mean to be Accountable?
By: Jonni Gray    Thursday, Apr 05, 2012
Let’s face it: most of our problems, confusions and dilemmas usually boil down to some very basic truths that we have somehow ignored, denied or never learned. Problems we now have usually stems from obvious and often unconscious previous choices that have somehow landed us in our current situation. Whether by innocence or ignorance, it is nonetheless the pivotal place where we made a choice, often by not making a clear, conscious one. And what we are left with is the natural consequences of that time and place when we thought we could just coast along without having to step up to bat ...Read More
Top 10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Meditation Practice
By: Jonni Gray    Friday, Mar 30, 2012
Trying to meditate after consuming several caffeinated drinks usually doesn’t work out well. Breathe slowly, with your eyes open, for a half a minute or so. Then let them soften their focus as you gaze at nothing. Then close your eyes. Don’t over-think meditating. Just meditate. Stay open. Don’t think you know what the meditation means, or is all about, while you’re in it. Wait till afterwards to do that. Just stay engaged with it while it’s going on. The warm up is the breathing; the heart is the exercise. It’s easier to “get in” if you go in ...Read More
Psycho-Spiritual Healing
By: Bill Walz    Monday, Feb 20, 2012
Conditions: psycho-spiritual healing
PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL HEALING By Bill Walz “What we really want is a natural life…(and) once we begin to see that life can be more open and joyful than we had ever thought possible…we enter a discipline like Zen practice so that we can learn to live in a sane way.” - Charlotte Joko Beck – Zen Master Long ago, while practicing clinical psychology, I came to two conclusions. The first was that true psychological health and spiritual health are the same thing – to have one we must also have the other, and the second conclusion was that a principle characteristic ...Read More
The Wheel of Karma
By: Bill Walz    Monday, Feb 20, 2012
Conditions: psycho-spiritual healing
THE WHEEL OF KARMA By Bill Walz “As the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, similarly, the fire of Self-knowledge reduces all Karma to ashes” - Bhagavad-Gita At its simplest, karma means the law of cause and effect, and it is wise to be mindful that what we do always has effects. As with everything in Buddhism, there are layers upon layers of meaning for karma, all the way up to the metaphysical, and implications for death and rebirth. But staying for the moment at the level of the most obvious, it is not hard to understand that if you bring anger, strife and violence of attitude ...Read More
Space Consciousness
By: Bill Walz    Monday, Feb 20, 2012
Conditions: psycho-spiritual healing
SPACE CONSCIOUSNESS By Bill Walz “All things are born of being. Being is born of non-being.” Tao Te Ching (5thCent. B.C.) “Don’t play what’s there. Play what’s not there.” - Miles Davis There are objects and there is the empty space around objects, that which separates the objects. This is the conventional way to sum up the physical universe. Another perspective is that there is a great energy field that is the Universe, and within it, all connected, are patterns of energy of varying density giving the appearance of objects and space. Objects emerge ...Read More
Change is Good (And Full of Truth)
By: Jonni Gray    Thursday, Feb 16, 2012
Conditions: change, challenge
Are you feeling the change that is happening? Are you feeling that YOU have to make some changes? Does that frighten you? Make you queasy? Change is inevitable. Either you change or it happens to you. But that doesn’t make it any easier. Over the years I’ve created a list I call my change truths. They are reminders of all the positive benefits there are when I change. I keep it on my bulletin board above my desk and as much as I, personally, love change, I still find myself reading over it for inspiration whenever change is imminent. As change occurs in my life, so does growth. I ...Read More
Hope Unswervingly
By: VitalityLink Finder    Monday, Dec 26, 2011
As we enter into this new year I have been looking back, evaluating where we have come in the last 20 years. This process was further emphasized by finally seeing the movie "Schindler's List", which dramatically, emotionally and emphatically pointed out the madness, the "evil", being once again replayed in Iraq, Bosnia, Guatemala and some 30 other nations, some 50 years later. We are still trying to solve our problems through ethnic cleansing or the disposal of those who may look or things differently than we do. This is not only a foreign problem, it is also being reflected in the vicious ...Read More
The Collective and Political Levels of Transformation
By: VitalityLink Finder    Monday, Dec 26, 2011
When we talk of transpersonal matters, we usually are relating to individual and there internal processes. I came across an article called Meeting of the Minds by Phil Catalfo this month in New Age magazine that made me remember that the transpersonal encompasses all levels of organization, not only the personal, but also the collective and political. Some small attempts by this Journal to engage a communal dialogue have not been very sucessful, probably because most people don't interact with magazines and journals, at least I don't do so very often. They are sources of information, and we ...Read More
