Taming Your Scary Internal Tigers
Author: Daniel Benor | Posted: 26-04-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 3 | 
Conventional medicine attacks, fights and wants to conquer diseases, and invests enormous resources in counteracting natural processes such as aging and death. About 30 percent of medical costs are spent on the last month of life, to little avail other than to stimulate the medical economy and to pretend that modern medicine can deal with death.
By battling something we label as an enemy we are actually giving it lots of energy and perpetuating its negative existence. While this may work with a physical problem, it does not work with psychological, relational or spiritual problems. Fighting to make your way out of a vicious circle, you are focused constantly on the negatives in your situation. This will not make the negatives go away. In fact, the battle highlights the negatives in your awareness, puts you in an aggressive, negative frame of mind that is not health-promoting, and in the end is unlikely to be effective. In fact, it is likely to perpetuate and worsen your problems.
Negative beliefs, traumas and emotions can be dealt with much more constructively through acceptance, love, healing and forgiveness. This is not just a rosy recommendation, it is a pointer towards modern self-healing approaches that are potent, rapidly relieve negative feelings, and produce permanent improvements.
Mentally pairing any of these positives (or better yet, a combination of all of them) with a negative feeling will neutralize the negative feeling. Check this out:
1. Picture to yourself that you are in a place of peace that is saturated with acceptance, love, healing and forgiveness. If you have a hard time connecting with any one of these, then just work with the others. If none of them resonate for you, then fill your place of peace with the feelings from a positive experience you recall. Let your place of peace percolate to strengthen these feelings, as you step outside for a moment to take the next step.
2. Go back to the memory of a negative experience and connect with the feelings attached to that memory.
3. Create an image that represents this memory and its feelings. It could be a monster, a symbolic object, or whatever comes up on your screen.
4. Invite this image into your place of peace, bathing it in the energies of acceptance, love, healing and forgiveness.
5. See what happens to the negative feelings.
Positives are always stronger than negatives.
I have seen many people release old hurts, angers and fears this way. With practice, one can come into a space where new life challenges are no longer frightening; instead, they become invitations to transformation through this, and other such methods.

Ahas!
By: Jane Straus | 08/05/2008 | Self Improvement
I love those rare and often serendipitous moments when I see something in a new way for the first time. I wish that I could plan them but I guess, by definition, an AHA! has to come to us. Perhaps the most we can do to facilitate them is to remain open and not ignore them when they are jumping up and down waving their arms in front of us to pay attention.

What does my exboyfriend want from me?
By: ElleA | 15-05-2008
I met this guy when I was 19 and he 38.When I went into it I was not looking for a relationship just a fun, older fuck buddy. I was going thru hard times w/ family, etc. Our first date was at a hotel and we fucked, tho I really wasn't expecting it. About 1 month into knowing each other we made it an official committed relationship. We discussed marriage, children, everything. He brought it up. Everything was SO much fun! It was different. He was into me. He made so much time for me. He's a lawyer and has his own office. He bought me jewelry, took me shopping even when I didnt want to. We spent our afternoons together alot. We'd meet up to go bowling or fuck or something. He even met my family that didn't like him at first b/c our relationship was private and they thought he might have a bad influence on me. 3 months into it, we started arguing alot b/c I wanted more quality time and he'd just push me to study for school and told me he had a big case coming up and after he'd have more time for me. I started looking at online dating sites, came clean to him about it b/c of his suspicions. We argued more and more. I really loved him and just wanted his attention. Here and there we'd make up and have sex abt twice/week. Even then, he still always wanted me and showed desire for me by flirting, touching, talking dirty over the phone.When we fucked hed talk 'dirty' asking me if I wanted to get pregnant and stuff. we fucked in his office, hotels, my place when no one was home, whereever. Didnt last. The better I became as a person, the less he seemed to like me. I started out on the wrong path, but got better. stopped being the flirt I was and treated him very well. Things just got worse. He didn't make time for sex. I was always wanting but he'd have an excuse and get upset. I asked him why he never introduced me to his mother or friends and he got upset. Fastforward to now. The day before my birthday, Dec 8, he broke up with me (I broke up w/ him 1 month earlier b/c of the constant arguing). It took alot of time for it to sink in. After alot of crying Ive gotten it together. The whole time he remains in contact w/ me. I told him I still want to fuck and he hesitates but we've done it a couple of times. he says he loves my body and that it's the best hes ever seen. He says he thinks about me when he masturbates. I asked 2 days ago if he wanted to fuck me and he said he wanted to but hasn't taken the next step. I told him I can control my emotions. Plus, I'm already dating other guys. He treats me like his daughter which I kinda don't like. He takes me out and pays, takes care of me financially, we have ok conversation though most of it comes from me. I find him somewhat boring these days. All he does is work. That's his only motivation in life. Why does he keep contact w/ me if he doesnt want sex, he said he doesnt ever see a future w/ us and already broke up w/ me? He got upset when he found out I was going on a date and that I was possibly fucking other guys, but he doesn't go far w/ it. Should I even keep talking to him? Why in the hell does he keep in contact and said he wants to be 'friends' yet doesnt want a real relationship? He knows how strongly I felt and still a bit do about him but he's driving me crazy. He still trys to make dates w/ me and acts somewhat like a bf. He takes care of me. But emotionally I feel sometimes I'm riding his rollercoaster. WTF?!

By: Withered | 15-05-2008
Please help me. My colleagues ridiculed me. They disclosed my feelings about a male former colleague of mine-who's left the job months ago- and made overtly fun of them. As if I was unworthy even of laying eyes on him. But I'm in love with him and consider this sacred. A subject nobody had the right to broach. I'm depressive for quite a few years and I have many issues to resolve which cause me to suffocate. I'm already burdened and I didn't need this. Could someone tell me how to deal with it? Thank you for seeing after me.
