The Law of Attraction and Sankalpa - Dr. Deepak Chopra

The Law of Attraction and Sankalpa By deepak.chopra

The Sanskrit word Sankalpa helps us understand how conscious desire serves as the underlying structure for the manifestation of one's intention. Sankalpa is the subtlest level of intention at the cusp of choiceless awareness and thought.

Now the waters of peace are overflowing the banks of your body and inundating the vast territory of your mind. The flood of peace flows… Continue

Excellence Is Not Enough An interview with Anthony Robbins by Craig Hamilton

Introduction The memory is still crystal clear in my mind. It was the summer of 1996, and like most days in Marin County, California, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, and a warm breeze was blowing in off the San Francisco Bay. I had been working for about twelve months as sales manager of a company that provided screenprinted sportswear to the Bay… Continue

Sit comfortably and breathe deeply. Allow the breath to gently fill you from the depths of the lower abdomen and up to the collar bone. Take three deep breaths and then watch as the breath returns to its relaxed state. Reality is taking place now, you are just not aware of it. We are so conditioned with responses to everything that our inner voice gets squashed in the mix. This witness sees everything though. Which nostril are you breathing out of?… Continue

Love Arrives - A Poem by Maya Angelou

Love Arrives

Love arrives, And in its train come ecstasies, Old memories of pleasure, Ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, Love strikes away the chains of fear, From our souls.

Yet it is only love which sets us free. - Maya Angelou, from Touched By An… Continue
