Metaphysics includes many subjects within Science, Spirituality, Angels, Quantum Physics, Mysticism, Consciousness, Magick, Spirits, Law of Attraction and many more subcategories containing unexplained, undetectable dimensions within our reality and beyond. In the conscious evolution, metaphysics has taken its place as the most comprehensive and most effective means of gaining knowledge and understanding about the true nature of the physical Universe. Derived from the Greek words μετά metá, meaning "beyond", "upon" or "after" and φυσικά physiká, meaning "physics".

The secrets to clear skin One of the persisting skin problems that have been giving women tough days in recent time is that of Acne. One tiny zit at the wrong moment can spoil that look you had been craving for months or that big night you had been planning for days.
separated beat the yolk evenly and consistently, mostly by using a grinder or a blender, till a consistent paste is formed. Apply it evenly on the skin and leave it for 15-20 minutes, once dry, rinse it off and pat dry.
Dermatologists have pointed out that the most probably causes of acne being stress and an improper diet. The most gruesome problem with acne is not only their appearance but their disappearance as well, which leaves behind ugly marks and may be accompanied with skin break outs and wrinkles.
Honey and Milk Mask
Thus here we come up with 5 Home Remedies used to treat acne:
The White Toothpaste Okay, now we are sure that you knew toothpaste were good for your teeth, but here we tell you that they can make your zits disappear overnight. All that needs to be done, is applying a thin layer of any toothpaste, just make sure it is not gel based over your acne. The fluidity of the paste used should be consistent and even so as to enable the acne to cool out and not clog the pores even more. Leave it overnight and rinse of in the morning with cold water and you are sure to get the best results.
The wonders of Milk and Honey as skin care products are not alien to many women, and thanks to their anti-bacterial properties and anti-oxidants, the mask we are suggesting not only wears out acne’s but also acts as anti-wrinkle and anti-aging agents. Mix 2 tablespoon of honey with sufficient quantities of milk so as to form a gooey paste, not too runny, and apply it evenly on the skin. Leave the mask on for 15-20 mins and wash off with cold water. Honey may leave the skin a bit dry, so do not forget to moisturize your face after the process.
The Egg White
Citric Lemons
So, it’s not only the white toothpaste but even the egg white, that can help cure your acne problem. Take 2-3 eggs, crack them gently separating the yolk from the white. Once
Yellow lemons are known for its high acidic contents inclusive of citrus and anti-oxidants, which not heals your acne but because of its anti-aging, exfoliating and anti-wrinkle properties can give you that healthier and glowing skin. It is suggested to use lemon on the acne prone areas and keep it for

a maximum of 4-5 minutes, since the acidic content may cause side-effects on sensitive skin. Further, try to use this remedy when in all probability you are not going out in the sun for the next 3-4 hours.
The Pimple free Papaya Last but not the least, one of the essential ingredient that you can spot out in the contents of all major skincare products is papaya which owing to its content of papain is known as an antiinflammatory agent which removes excess lipids and dead skin cells thus unclogging the pores. Cut a papaya, into small portions, and rub it over the acne prone areas. Leave the juice on for 15-20 mins, finally rinsing it off to get that perfect radiance. To conclude, it is important to note, that the skin care regime suggested would just help you heal the acnes but to prevent them from coming in the first place, be sure to drink loads of water, follow a proper cleansing-toning and moisturizing routine and lastly eat healthy.

Loving yourself‌ does not mean being selfabsorbed or narcissistic, or disregarding others. Rather it means welcoming yourself as the most honored guest in your own heart, a guest worthy of respect, a lovable companion. - Margo Anand Photo by BlackJack0919 16
Tonight we are hearing about Archangel Michael from none other than Archangel Metatron:
Usually depicted with a sharp sword in his hand to cut through tough cord connections, Michael actually wants to be known as an angel who knows how to go the distance. He is usually seen as a fiery individual who attempts to use force, in the form of a sword, to sever connections that are no longer serving their master. But Michael is so much more than all of this. He is actually one who believes in sending love into all stressful situations as a grounding force. To actually hold onto the energy of a space, vibrationally, is an important skill. Plus, Michael is only nominally here. He spends most of his time in meditation, forging new neural pathways in the hearts of men and women. He is known as a binder. He opens neurological centers via brainwaves and on a heart level. His only goal here is to help bring about a constant stream of wellness by incorporating vivid thought forms into your lives.
If after trying to do all of this, you do not feel very connected to the thrum of the universe; just ask your spiritual guides and teachers to send you a message via the dream state, and watch your mind collide with all that has been hidden from your normal view. It may be useful to keep a small notebook by your bedside so as to record all of the interesting data that may come your way. To see and feel love and kindness brings a special kind of peace into one's heart centered energies. It helps put more spring in one's step, and to build stronger heart valves. Keeps the blood flowing in a regular fashion.
Lastly, Michael knows how to rebuild and strengthen the energetic pathways which crisscross, energetically, above and around the human body. Just call on Archangel Michael to set in place all that Is, Was and Will Be in relation to your karmic We are all one, and within this Oneness connections to life, God and heaven. there is an opportunity for growth and Just say; "Help me Michael!

“I'm gonna say the one thing you aren't supposed to say. I love you... but I love me more. I've been in a relationship with myself for 49 years, and that's the one I need to work on.� ~ Samantha Jones
Sex in the City
Love has always been easy enough for me to share and express. Being surrounded by supportive family, animals and children, love naturally overflowed from my heart and found others. Receiving love, accepting love, and honoring my own heart has been a more turbulent journey. Could giving love too freely possibly be problematic? This question may seem silly in a world in which we love to say that love is about giving, and not receiving. Yes, it feels wonderful to love others, but what about receiving love? There was many a decision, in my earlier years, that should have flagged my issues with self-love, but I designed walls, fires, and excuses to block my pain and explain away my destructive behavior.
21
When I dove deeper into spirituality, and truly wanted more for myself, an unmistakable voice surfaced, a familiar voice; I’ve known my whole life. She is self-hatred, self-loathing, and she visits me daily- sometimes hourly. “Your body is huge. Everyone is looking at how disgusting you are.” Your skin, your teeth, your car, anything and everything I could hate about myself, Self-Hatred pointed out to me. Perhaps the nights I drank too much or partied too hard, I was trying to drown out Self-Hatred. Sometimes when I argued with friends they would say the very things Self-Hatred said to me. They MUST be right, all members of the “I Hate Dena Club,” begun by my own SelfHatred. What’s with the doom and gloom, Miss Dena? Admitting what my negative self-talk was doing to my spirit, body and life was the first time I realized—accepted — I was my own worst enemy. Ironically, this was very good news! It meant I had complete control over w hat had burdened me for so many years. If I was in control, there were going to be some changes! Luckily, I was surrounded by spiritual teachers and my two brothers who were on a quite similar, yet unique, spiritual journey. I began the work: the task of taking that first, hard look in the mirror, and asking the tough questions. What do you want in your life? When you leave certain people, why do you feel like a sticky mass has coated you, and you can’t shower quick enough, or long enough to get it off? Why do you wake up after drinking with best friends, and over-analyze every expression? These are not healthy habits, yet they had become my patterns. Now, I was on my way to reprogramming them. I had gotten through the first step, identifying them when they occurred, and finding a way to turn them around. Byron Katie’s four questions helped tremendously, but just by hearing and stopping yourself before the thought is complete is powerful.
Once while doing angel readings in New Hampshire a beautiful woman in a sun dress and sparkly eyes sat before me. During her reading, an unhealthy situation seemed to be hindering her and she said, “I have a lot of self-hatred.” “What?” I thought, “how could you, so beautiful, radiating love and positive energy hold such negative emotion?” I shared how perfect and wonderful her energy was. She talked about being selfconscious, hating her body and finally acknowledging she longed for a relationship, but was fully aware that as long as she harbored such self-hatred she would not meet anyone- much less the person who would compliment her highest self. At that moment it became quite clear - many of us struggle with Self-Hatred. Where should YOU begin?
Admit the truth to yourself, and act accordingly. Catch yourself as negative self-talk emerges, and stop it in its tracks. Be Gentle with yourself. Pay close attention to those who make you feel self-conscious, and spend a little less time in their presence. Observe how you feel differently. Identify one area that you are truly talented in - your job, sports, photography… There are many, 22
begin with one, and compliment yourself. If you are beating yourself up for words or actions from yesterday or ten years ago, forgive yourself. You were doing the best you could at the time. It’s time to let go. Look into the mirror - make up or no makeup - look deep into your own eyes; don’t look away. Go deeper. Then tell yourself you love yourself. This is especially helpful after a situation that left you feeling disappointed in yourself. Tell yourself that you are a beautiful woman. I am strong. If you are regretting words spoken, try to understand and explain to yourself; if I spoke those words while they may have sounded inappropriate, everything is for a reason so someone - maybe me needed to hear them. Tell yourself “I will let it go” take a lesson and move on. Regardless of the situation, find the lesson, honor the experience and move on.
As you more easily identify and temper negative self-talk, you may notice that you also judge others silently, yet harshly. Catching yourself judging others is essential to decreasing negative self-talk. Judging - ourselves and others - takes up space in our heads, leaving little room for self-love, support or encouragement. Written by Dena Francescon

Quantum Entanglement and the Quantum Mind QUANTUM MECHANICS Perhaps we are already deeply and intimately interconnected. In Brain Wars (2012) Mario Beauregard, a professor in the Neuroscience Research Centre at the University of Montreal, explores the phenomena of out of body experiences, near death experiences, psi (various psychic phenomena), telepathy, and other paranormal events. His conclusion is that the scientific perspectives that view the mind as a product of the brain and the mind as separate and distinct from the universe are deeply flawed. His thinking on this leads us into quantum mechanics. Perhaps most compelling or intriguing aspect of quantum mechanics, from the perspective of post-literacy, is the concept of quantum entanglement: the idea that
particles are twinned and change states (spins) relative to each other regardless of their distance from each other (adjacent or light years apart). Hence they are “entangled” or responsive to each other. Einstein famously referred to this as “spooky action at a distance.”
“tendencies to exist” (Capra, The Tao of Physics, 1975). However, Beauregard makes the case that this entanglement is the basis for consciousness (or mind) as a phenomena of the universe. He sees,
It is important to remember that this entanglement is at the particle level, where quantum theory tell us that such elementary particles don’t actually exist but have
Is the brain a quantum computer?
“a deep interconnectedness between the mental world and the physical world, which both arise out of the same source “We are analog beings This basic interconnectedness living in a digital world, renders the mind capable facing a quantum future.” of influencing various phenomena and events Neil Turok, The Universe belonging to the physical Within (2012) world. Information may act as a bridge between these complementary aspects of reality”
Does quantum mechanics explain consciousness? 28
Extrapolating from this, is there a quantum mind and can it be means for a profoundly new way of understanding and acting upon the universe? The ground breaking theory of Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff on the nature of microtubles (a concept known as Orchestrated Objective Reduction) is hotly contested. Some, like Victor Stenger, believe all this belongs to the fantasy realm of “unicorns and dragons.” Others, like Beauregard, are willing to venture into new terrain and suggest new possibilities, beyond scientific materialism, that would fundamentally transform our understanding of our position in the universe and the capabilities we have. Neil Turok, Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and a colleague of Stephen Hawking, agrees with Beauregard: “The Internet is only a harbinger. Quantum technologies may change entirely the way in which we process information. In time, they many do much more, allowing us to gain a heighted awareness of reality and of the ways the physical world works. As the depth of our knowledge grow, our representation of the universe will achieve much higher fidelity. Our new knowledge will enable technologies that will vastly supercede current limits. They may change our very nature and bring us closer to realizing the full potential of our existence.” Using a deliberate contradiction, Turok observes that “quantum physical teaches us that, in a very real sense, we all live in an imaginary reality.” It is a “quantum future” that may offer insights into a post-literate world.

Got a great idea or tip to share with people? Do so. 3. Share, comment and endorse content from others in your industry. If you scratch their back they’ll likely return the favor.
4. Questions encourage your audience to respond but make sure that every update isn’t a question as this gets a bit boring. 5. Encourage followers to act on your update. Spell it out to them so they know what it is they’re supposed to do! 6. Don’t just post a link with no description – tell people a little about it so that they can decide to click through or not. People avoid clicking on links as they seem spammy. 7. Make your P.S. in email newsletters short and sweet. I saw one lately that was almost as long as the email itself! 8. Use short links – especially on Twitter – as this encourages people to share and gives them the space to do so. 9. Followers are more likely to click like on photos and images (especially on Facebook) so post images often and use an app like Over to enhance images with text. 10. Ask for comments and get people to share. There are lots of ways to do this and what works best will depend on your audience. When people do comment, always respond.

Super Bowl winners
Meditate
Photo Credit: Peter Yang for ESPN
First 43-8 Football Game in a Century! Pete Carol is a familiar name to Patriot fans, but who knew he was a fan of meditation. Pete expressed to ESPN in a 12013 interview, "I wanted to find out if we went to the NFL and really took care of guys, really cared about each and every individual, what would happen?"
Carol looked for positive players like Wilson, their (now) starting Quarterback. After being drafted by the Seahawks in the third round in 2012, Wilson told Carroll, "I can be the starting quarterback on this team." The QB also gave a new list of goals to the Seattle coaches and hung a copy in his locker. Looks like they were right on... affirmations, meditations and vision boards for the 2014 Super Bowl win!! read the full story at ESPN.com 37

The Lightness of Being ~ Give & Receive the Gift of Forgiveness
“Many of us go to the grave harboring resentment, and never have an opportunity to say I’m sorry. Believe us when we say as soon as you arrive in the afterlife, there you are. So what does that mean, you may be thinking? It means you carry yourself with you wherever you go. What we were unable to ‘work’ on in the flesh, we can work out in the spirit. Our personality, grudges, and love, among many quirks and attributes, remain a part of us in the afterlife. Many of us have never been given an opportunity to ask for forgiveness, nor offer forgiveness because you will not listen. You cannot hear our voices; we knock, yet no one answers. We intend to change all that. We are reaching out, and those who choose to listen, hear, and be of service are helping us. Forgiveness is the key to living a rich, rewarding life of happiness. Help us. Help you.” 39
This message from my Spirit Collective is a common theme, one which they express over and over again. I am reminded of my early days of sobriety (over two decades ago), when a speaker shared her story and mentioned how she thought that by changing her geographical location she would be changing her dreadful situation or perhaps even her nature, but realized that upon stepping off the airplane in a city she hadn’t been to before, a city who did not know her – there she was. Spirit has demonstrated that we take our essence, our soul, our spirit with us when we leave our bodies; in doing so, we take our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well. The topic of forgiveness is first and foremost. I am of the belief that no one really wants to hold onto a grudge. Think about how that negatively impacts you on an energetic level. It’s the same for those in spirit. It takes a great deal of energy to remain ‘mad’, angry or unforgiving with someone. Expertly guided; we connect with your dearly beloved, or person in spirit with whom you have had a falling out, felt bitter or angry toward when he or she died. Together we initiate a three (or more) way conversation. All parties have the opportunity to express and resolve their differences. We create a space in which true healing can begin to take root and grow ever so slowly – or within its own divine time. If “angels can fly because they take themselves
lightly”, I suggest we help those in spirit, our loved
ones, our ancestors, and yes, even those we may not ‘love’ a whole bunch, to live in a state of eternal lightness of being. You have it in your power to give the gift of forgiveness. Go ahead, give it a try - you may be pleasantly surprised by what you receive in the process. I am grateful for the opportunity to share with you each month, and challenge you to reach out and connect. Submit your questions to me, and I will do my best to answer as many as I can in each column. Together we will share the love… because, after all, love is all there is.

Love Eleph in Your
46
the hant r Room
If you are familiar with the phrase ‘the elephant in the room’ please raise your hand. Most likely, just about every one of you took your hand off your ‘mouse’ to raise your hand. My hand is raised. I believe that most of us have at least one, if not more ‘elephants in our rooms’ at any one time in our lives. What exactly, does ‘the elephant in the room’ represent? For the purpose of the work I do, I hold that ‘elephant’ as a stand-in for something that’s on your mind, taking up valuable space. It is also something that you’d really rather not have to deal with it. You wish it would simply go away, would never have appeared in the first place or would disappear - “poof” - with no muss or fuss. That ‘something’ is a blockage. It could be a situation, a personal pattern of behavior or even a secret you’ve been keeping for yourself or someone else. ‘Something’ that, for the most part, remains unspoken, unacknowledged, purposefully masked, deflected or ignored. It has become a great obstacle in your life.
47
I believe the image of an elephant is used because it would be impossible not be aware of its presence in your room; it would get in the way of clear communication and definitely hinder your movement. Take a moment, if you will, to imagine having a conversation with someone while a huge elephant is standing in the room between you both. You would have to expend a tremendous amount of energy to act as if it was not there. If that elephant is not addressed, over time you become expert at side-stepping and talking around that ‘elephant in the room’. You successfully create and continue to nurture an adversary, a thorn in your side that drains your energy, causes anxiety and keeps you stuck. The elephant antagonist tends to grows bigger, louder and more disruptive over time. Ironically, the elephant only appears to you if there is something that you truly want to express, to move beyond and clear through. Keeping that in mind, the elephant appears for you and offers you the opportunity to take powerful healing action, to help you voice what needs to be heard. Love your elephant and let it guide and help you to speak up for yourself. Jill, had been unsettled for years by unasked questions which only her mother could answer. The problem was Jill had been terrified to even bring up the topic, as she envisioned the conversation going poorly and upsetting or angering her mother. Now, her mother’s health was declining and Jill knew her window of opportunity was closing.
48
Jill wanting answers yet not wanting to upset her mother was the deflected ‘something’ - Jill’s ‘elephant in the room’. In the following process, through which I coached Jill, we: Created a safe space where she could voice her questions and her concerns. Invited the ‘elephant’ to be become a part of the solution and act as her sounding board. Role-played and rehearsed the scene, creating a breakthrough. As a result Jill found the clarity and confidence to take the next step on her own. Together Jill and her mother created the space for an exchange of questions and answers and have now opened the door to clearer communication and a greater understanding of one another. The lesson: The ‘elephant in your room’ really is a gift. If you take the opportunity to embrace its presence and relate to it with love you can create healing breakthroughs.

New Moon in Aquarius Thursday, January 30th 4:38pm EST Full Moon in Leo Friday, February 14th 6:53PM EST
Here comes the Aquarius! Just what we all needed…to open our minds, and hearts for this beautiful month of love. Freedom is here, and we can really let our hearts soar. This is a beautiful cycle that will show us that we are all connected, and in loving ourselves, we can also love all of mankind. Although we are all unique and different, we are all truly the same… Sprung from the same energy, the same matter, and the same emotions. The Capricorn-Cancer cycle we just went through tells us where we need to grow, and what is limiting us. This can be a very heavy cycle, being the all earth and water, especially when that earth moon is ruled by Saturn. Capricorn showed us where we can build upon in our lives, and what steps we need to get there, while Cancer gave us the intuitive answers and guidance to help us along the way. It may have shown us where our limits are, but all the more reason to break free from the limits we have set up for ourselves! The new moon in Aquarius can help us do this.
I am that I am, the Mahatma in love. Namaste
Aquarius is the water-bearer, and pushes the water/ emotions out of things. We can now make clear, unemotional decisions on what you need to. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, and brings in surprises and the unexpected. This also brings out the adventurous nature in us all, and can be a lot of fun. Expect the unexpected… Things that you have been waiting for may come to you in different forms, or perhaps from avenues you hadn’t thought possible. These positive changes will open your mind to new possibilities and will broaden your awareness. We are going through a huge shift in consciousness over the course of the next few months… A large shift of connecting... Becoming openminded and globally conscious. Being open is the key to being able to accept gifts and unconditional love from others. Remember that, as this is the 51
month of love, and compassion, not only for others, but yourself. Affirm that you are open with the energy of this new moon… Open to receiving unconditional love and universal gifts, and in turn share these gifts of love with others. Let the Aquarian new moon open you to new possibilities. Keep yourself open and aware, and you will not loose sight of your goals, even with hang-ups and distractions that may happen with the Mercury retrograde. Take it all with a grain of salt, as they say… Everything has it’s lesson, and sometimes hiccups happen. Aquarius will really get us feeling independent.You may want to get out on your own. Aquarius brings out any areas in which you may be too dependent. It shows you that you can do it for yourself if need be. It will show you how self-reliant you can be. Aquarius energy is selfsufficient, and wants to do things its own way. Remember
that it’s ok to accept help and the fritz during Mercury criticism from others though, retrogrades, just plan as it is sometimes very helpful. accordingly, and you may only run into mild Aquarius possesses a lot miscommunications.

This may have an new ideas and sometimes impact on all those goals and seemingly strange solutions, plans you have set for yourself; we will have a tougher time. It don’t worry. Any setbacks felt can often work out for the in now will all be a distant best, though, if we approach memory when March comes old things with new solutions. around. February 6th brings the dreaded Mercury retrograde, but do not fear. We don’t usually think of it, but Mercury retrogrades will often get you feeling nostalgic and thinking about the past. They are also great for retrospection, and isn’t that what the deep of winter is for? Try to get most of those bills and all that paperwork stamped and mailed before this retrograde. Money, computers, communication and travel can tend to go on
Valentine’s Day is sure to have fireworks! The night of a full moon in Leo! Leo is the lover, and loves luxury. What a wonderful night for it! Leo brings in a lot of energy and fun; along with quite a bit of fire. Take some of those beautiful, idealistic goals that came forward with Aquarius, and make some moves. Leo is about action. There’s a lot of energy shifting in the month of February, and the full, fire moon in Leo kick starts it with passion and playful fun.

The full moon in Leo will add a spark and flare to your physical life, while bringing in all sorts of creativity and fun adventures.

This is also a time of celebration and love. Leo loves to show off and loves to share. It is a time to love and live passionately. Let Leo bring your life into action!

This beautiful AquariusLeo cycle allows for an objective view of our lives to see the bigger picture…the grand scheme…It brings our focus, not only to being unique and showing off our own independence, but also to the realization that we are all connected. That new moon brought out our humanitarian nature, and really helped to show us how we are all one, while the full moon accentuated our unhindered passions and awakened the lion heart we all possess.

Polarity Therapy pppooo Balance, Creativity, Vitality, Well-Being, Clarity, Manifestation and Focus. What is Polarity you ask? Polarity Therapy is an integrative, energy based healing modality developed in the early 1900s by Dr. Randolph Stone, a chiropractor. Dr. Stone also studied a number of other holistic modalities including Acupressure, Osteopathy, Craniosacral and Ayurveda to name a few. Through his studies, Dr. Stone realized that energy blocks can form in the body disrupting the natural flow of one’s energy and upsetting the homeostasis of the body. This imbalance can result in disease, and it must be corrected in order to restore the body to a state of wellness. Through Polarity Therapy, we are able to restore balance to the body's energetic system by working with the universal principles of energy: attraction (+), repulsion (-), and neutrality. This is achieved through a combination of acupressure, stretching, and working with elemental pathways (air, fire, water and/or earth), as well as clearing the energetic system which consists of the chakras, aura, the sushumna, the ida and pingala. Polarity Therapy addresses the whole person, physically, mentally and spiritually. Polarity is done while fullyclothed, and regular sessions can lead to a sense of greater vitality as well as creativity. By Susannah Otocki LMT, BCPP, RPL3, RMT
Susannah Otocki is a licensed massage therapist, Board Certified Polarity Practitioner and a Reiki Master. She has been practicing massage therapy and polarity therapy since 2010. In 2011 she completed the RYSEÂŽ Practitioner Level 3. Since graduation she has gone on to study Deep Tissue Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Healing Stone Massage, Craniosacral and Zero Balancing.

The Secret of Enduring Love
with Author Peter Sklivas What message do you hope readers take away from this novel? All over the world, millions of people roll out mats every day to practice yoga, but what do they really know about the source of yoga? Where does yoga comes from? Most people will never read the yogic scriptures so I wrote The Secret of Enduring Love in the hope readers will discover a deeper meaning to love and yoga.
How do you categorize The Secret of Enduring Love? How does a novel involving yoga jive with the genre of romance?
The ancient tales of yoga come out of a tradition where devotion to God is paramount. When I say ‘devotion to God,’ I mean one-pointed full-blown unadulterated gushing love for the divine. Everything else is subordinate. Even as the greatest villains in these majestic epics are misappropriating power to conquer love ... even How does love endure despite the innumerable obstacles these protagonists ... When they must face their destiny, it of life? Can a mantra help? What infuses a mantra with is at the hands of God incarnated as a human, and their power? What is the role of a guru? And a disciple? How spirit is redeemed and returned to God. The Secret of was the universe support the awakening of self-love? Enduring Love fits into this tradition of romantic When we commit actions out of ignorance, how do we devotional stories where love for God and the beloved redeem ourselves? How does a man who has been stuck merge together. While the genre ‘yoga romance’ is new to his entire life open his heart to love? In the novel these most western yogis, these stories express the heart of yoga questions get answered within the context of yoga. I hope for eastern yogis. readers come away inspired to commit to a spiritual discipline, or go deeper into their existing practice. 57
The Secret of Enduring Love Excerpt from Ch. 15 Lotus Garland, Anyone? The princess strode down the first line with eyes for one man but trying not to make it too obvious. These exhausted men looked much more like a battery of boys desperate to be caressed by their mothers than the famous kings and warriors feared throughout the world. Approaching the corner at the end of the first line she finally realized the power of being a woman. So this was what her mother had been talking about all these years. All day these men had wielded swords, battleaxes and maces to prove their worth. But in the decisive moment where her power trumped all these men combined, the only weapon the princess carried was a string of white flowers. As she stared down the parade of faces along second line, the princess felt an unbearable burden in having to choose just one and disappoint so many others. Damayanti was dumbfounded that her mother could have wasted her entire married life being obsessed with a return to this crossroad. She could see no beauty here. Nor did she feel love. This power fed off the desperation that these men concealed in their hearts. It was cold and cruel. Damayanti wished she could discard this power. Then she thought of what Chandri said about girls and boys everywhere looking to the princess and this swayamvara for guidance in the ways of love. So she did just that. The princess discarded the illusion that she held any power over these men. They had chosen their journey. And she was choosing hers. In front of the next man in the line Damayanti stopped and turned to face him. With her winningest smile
she extended the garland opening her palms in the direction of the man’s heart while silently reciting the mantra. Then she turned to the next man in the line and did it again. She was not going to rush through this ordeal. From the royal box the princess had descended the crystal stairway with the aim of loving one man only to discover that in order to do so she must love each and every one of them. These were the teachings Great Swan had instilled in her disciple. The men standing along the second line were gawking at the princess perplexed by her sudden change of actions. So too were the other men on the field. As was Damayanti’s mother. And the spectators scattered across India far and wide. From the Vidabhar throne Bhima arose and extended his open palms just as his daughter was doing. In unison the entire amphitheater of spectators including the gods and goddesses stood up and opened their palms. This swayamvara had been billed as a celebration of enduring love. Every morning and evening of practice had prepared the princess to discern which way she would walk in this crossroad moment of her life. Now Damayanti was proving to be a princess who led by the example of following her own inner guidance. Just what these men would do with this love was anyone’s guess. This was not Damayanti’s concern. Or Bhima’s. Or the million others who stood with open palms. Each man would decide how to contain or dissipate the mantle of energy behind the love. And how to let the love awaken their capacity to
observe the crossroad for themselves. At the beginning of the third line of men Damayanti’s heart jumped. There standing in front of her was Nala. Stumbling to make sense of what she was seeing, the princess almost dropped the garland. A hush passed through the crowd that stretched across a continent. Here was the moment everyone had been waiting years to witness. Was the princess about to hoist her lotus garland? Or drop it to the earth? Damayanti turned to Great Swan. But her guru’s eyes were closed in meditation. Bhima and Bhavani were waving for her to do it. Put the garland around the neck of the man you love. But where there should have been Nala, Damayanti seemed lost in a fog because there wasn’t just one Nala. There were five Nalas each gazing with the same adoring expression on his face. No one else appeared to notice the oddity of five identical princes of Nishada. What illusion was happening here? Was it the orchid from Maya’s garden playing tricks on her? She yanked the flower from her hair and crushed the fragile enchanted petals into the earth. But nothing changed. What was the bewildered princess supposed to do? So much planning had gone into the ceremony. But nothing had prepared her for this dilemma. Peter Sklivas 32 West St. Beverly Farms, MA 978-210-2190 (cell) petersklivas@hotmail.com

To love oneself doesn’t begin at the beginning. Until your brain has developed cognitively, and you are able to communicate complex thoughts, that is when the potential for love of self exists. I could reference the self-help masters and their books, including required reading in school (twice), I’m OK, You’re OK (Thomas A Harris MD) and Eric Fromm’s The Art of Loving, a book I’d like to return to someday.
Religion often helps a lost soul find love of self. I won’t dismiss that; for many, that is their hope and salvation, but this is my take on self-love. To love yourself you have to learn from the inside, and only when you do that, will you be able to love others outside yourself. Oscar Hammerstein, the brilliant lyricist who wrote unforgettable love songs with Richard Rogers, also wrote the words to You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught, as a deliberate protest against racial injustice. For those unfamiliar with the song, it is from Rogers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific. Hammerstein argued that parents often teach their children to hate others because of skin color or ethnicity.
I would also argue another related point that parents, with the best intentions, may reassure their child by saying: “You’re special” or “You’re the best,” while at the same time those parents display their own insecurities and lack of self-worth, a formula that often backfires. Down the road, if a child doesn’t develop self-love, that girl or boy will often hurt others to buy their selfworth. Teaching a child to love her or 63
himself before he or she leaves home, takes courage. The parent has to be firm, to be kind, but also help their child see their self-worth through encouragement and mentoring. If the parents’ efforts aren’t working, seeking professional assistance would also help. Numerous examples exist where parents have done what they could to help their child discover inner strength and love; however, the child and then later the adult couldn’t believe they had value. Getting the child the help he or she needs as early as possible will only spare the entire family pain and tumult. Any mental health expert would agree that loving yourself can only come from inside the child’s heart and mind. I will admit, without hesitation, that I’m not a parent. Don’t want to be. That said, I like children and have friends who are parents. As an objective observer, I can emphatically say that the children who suffer the most are those whose parents refuse to set boundaries or enable dependence. I’ve heard the same rationale against this behavior from parents around the world (literally, when I traveled overseas). That enablement, like other bad habits, can be passed down from generation to generation. There are always exceptions, of course. Some children find self-love without parental guidance or interference. Often a parent or both aren’t present in a child’s life, or are working to make ends meet. For this reason mentoring programs remain popular. Moving on to individual adults, many are desperate for acclamation. They wear an invisible label reading: “Tell me I’m wonderful.” They don’t consciously recognize they lack self-worth, however, obvious examples of these persons include artists or actors, some of whom willingly admit they chose their profession because of their neuroses or insecurities. What about the rest of the adult populous? Based on continuing blockbuster sales of self-help books, skyrocketing, hits on an unlimited number of websites and viewers of Dr. Phil, there isn’t a shortage of people desperate for answers. Yet all the questions often have one answer: love yourself and your world will expand, will bring unforeseen rewards. That search takes work; it’s hard work. It’s easy to be critical, to dissect, to react negatively, to insult, to chastise, to humiliate or be a bully. There isn’t a profession that I’ve observed, and I’ve either participated in or had exposure to multiple fields, where the proverbial saying, Pride cometh before the fall, (The Bible) didn’t apply. The worst offenders often strut around with a façade of confidence and dismiss anyone who doesn’t play their game. Then, these power wranglers would disappear, sometimes long after 64
they should have gone, when the officiating bodies would realize they’d been fooled. Why the delay? Why would it take so long for the Toronto city officials, for example, to see their mayor is a fool? In my opinion, they were duped by a man who had seemed to be complete, but secretly wasn’t: he didn’t love himself. If he did, he would never have resorted to escaping by using drugs. From the workplace and politics, and on to romantic relationships. Is it possible to love another human being if you don’t love yourself? Of course! Looking for love often involves searching for a partner who will love you as much as you love them, if not more. The less we love ourselves, the more love we need from our partners. In contrast, the less we love ourselves the less we are able to give our partners. More so, making difficult decisions as to whether a person should stay with their partner often revolves around self-love. The example I present involves a woman, I’ll call her Ms. SelfDeluded. She stayed with her partner, a man for those who care, for a decade hoping he would marry her. When she finally saw how much she had been hurting herself by staying with a man who wouldn’t commit, she walked away and didn’t regret her decision. Then there are those who learn quickly that their partners aren’t right for them. They have the confidence and bravery to live alone rather than subject themselves or compromise too much to be in a relationship where they see no future. Years ago I had a colleague who gave me confusing advice: “Don’t ever settle.” I’d asked her to explain what she meant, but she wouldn’t and returned to her room. Yes, she had personal challenges, i.e. she loved teaching, and loathed socializing. I never got around to getting an answer, for she eluded me the rest of the year. “Don’t ever settle.” Did she mean my career? Love life? Both were intertwined at the time. In retrospect, I wouldn’t say that teacher hadn’t been a model of self-love. However, her advice finally rang true on both counts job and romance. I did discover a career that I love, decades later after holding on too long to conventional wisdom. When I realized my passion, writing, life turned around 180°, and if my career continues to escalate, or when my chosen profession becomes financially sound—it’s already fulfilling—I will inch closer to my expectations.
I’m still weighing the pros and cons of my romantic future. You 65
see, I’m not the ideal of self-love either and have some physical limitations, still I’m confident I have a lot to offer. More importantly, I know I can survive and savor life with or without a man, for I’ve done so for some time. I also know I have the capacity to give too much without expecting half that effort in return. Will continue working on closing that gap. As for reaching the apex, whole-hearted self-love, like nirvana, that goal may never be achievable. Personally, like many, I have issues to overcome, neuroses which show outwardly. Inwardly I have found self-worth, self-respect and am inching closer to true love, that is of myself.

If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself.

ARE YOUR VIBRATIONS HELPING OR HURTING YOU? Your personal vibration frequency could be the ONE thing holding you back from abundance, happiness and success. Discover how to raise it, so you can finally start living from the vibration of Love or Above. Just like how seismographs are used to measure earthquakes, recent breakthroughs have allowed researchers to measure a person’s energetic frequency on a specific Vibrations Scale. How does the scale work? Well imagine you have a scale of 1 to 1,000, with 1,000 being the highest state a human being can attain. If you reach this level you would be an Enlightened Master. At the lowest end of the spectrum is someone who is not thriving at all. Researchers use muscle testing and kinesiology to determine where people are on this scale. As you can see, heavy emotions like sadness, guilt or humiliation vibrate at low frequencies, while feelings like love, bliss and enlightenment vibrate at high, uplifting frequencies. Many clients have reported experiencing:
Dramatic improvements in their relationships and love lives, with stronger feelings of empathy and trust, and the elimination of unnecessary guilt and shame.
Enhanced wealth and abundance by developing a healthy wealth mindset, a stronger intuition for saving and investing, and a stronger natural attraction of wealth.
Promotions and raises at work as a result of knowing exactly what career is in line with their life purpose, connecting better with colleagues, and using their creativity to get better ideas.
Improved physical and mental wellbeing by learning how to understand the signs their bodies give them, and developing a habit of making healthy lifestyle
