Basic Steps to Raise Green Kids

Kids are fun. They get excited about many of the things you can teach them as a parent, especially when they're little. Take the time to get them started on some early green steps to help them learn to respect the environment.

Basic Principles of Green Parenting

Being a green parent takes effort. It's not easy to avoid the temptation to give your kids everything and to teach them to avoid consumeristic behavior. There are a lot of little things you should do.

Just Between You and Me ... and Chi

To say I came to respect Oriental medicine's possibilities, and those of the homeopathic and holistic healing disciplines, reluctantly ... is quite an understatement. When I brushed against the idea of herbs, teas, massage, ingesting minute quantities of what amounts to poison in normal doses to correct ailments, and other such suggestions ... I figured these were concepts I could live much better without, thankyouverymuch.

The Secret Of The Masters: Yours!

It was Aleister Crowley who made a profound observation that I have always remembered from the time I first read it. He pointed out that there is one - and only one thing - in common in the lives of Jesus Christ, the Buddha, Mohammed, Moses and other great spiritual teachers.

Apart from this, their lives and teachings were totally different. So too were the people they preached to and the message they taught. However, there is one unique experience that they all shared in exactly the same way.

Seven Steps to
Making a Difference in an Indifferent World

We live in troubled times where our peace and safety are often in danger. Most feel helpless and unable to affect the unfolding events in our present world. And yet many are uniting their minds, energy and actions in order to create a peaceful and safe world with dignity for all.

Some groups work politically while others spiritually or socially. Some focus on the poor or refuges, others on human rights, some on the politicians themselves who seem to be making the decisions. During this period of our evolution, it is so important that each of us makes his or her personal statement through thoughts words and actions.

Changing for Good
By
James O. Prochaska, et. al. Some folks believe there are no bad decisions ... If you turn left instead of right, you think you've made a mistake -- til you realize this detour is actually a shortcut to the destination of your dreams.

But if you're standing at a fork in the road, here are some guidelines that others have found helpful.

The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why
By
Jonny Bowden Especially around the first of every year, people talk about "eating healthier." It often comes tied to talk about losing weight, working out, getting fit ... the kinds of things that go on New Year's Resolution lists every year -- and last a few weeks before being dumped again in favor of one's old habits -- which presumably were unhealthy and needed to change.

But old habits die hard ... and usually the desire to change isn't nearly as strong and stubborn as the routines and preferences it's up against.

The fact is, if you want something badly enough, you'll do it. And if you're reading this essay, somewhere, somehow, something in side you wants a healthier diet. You'd just like it to be easy -- so you stand a fighting chance at making it happen without the pain, misery, sense of deprivation and inconvenience which teams up with the power of your old habits and forms an unbeatable alliance.

Zen Gardening ... Key Elements

There are two main elements to creating the perfect zen garden. Of which are rocks and sand. The rocks represent mountains and grounding, while the sand helps to represent flowing water. However, this sand shouldn't be just any ordinary beach or garden variety sand. Instead you should purchase enough crushed granite sand to fill your space. Whether it be outside or in. Of which can be found in three different shades white, gray, or beige.

You should try to avoid using light tinted granite sand in sunny areas, as it will produce glare and cut back on the zen-like feeling you wish to achieve. Instead use these lighter colors in shady areas or within your office or other indoor gardens. While you don't need a container for an out-door zen garden, you can find many different platforms for an office-sized zen garden. Whether it be online at websites such as this one, or at a local Feng Shui shop.

When designing the perfect meditation room for your own personal use, one must keep in mind that the overall theme will be that of peace and serenity. These two words, though they have the same literal definition, have a decidedly different meaning for everyone.

Magic, Change and Transformation
Using Ritual to Celebrate a New Story

In many traditional African languages the word for "change" is the same as the word for "magic." It's no wonder. For true change to occur, there must be a transformation--a movement from an old form to a new form, from old thinking and patterns of behavior to new ones. And transformation is always magical.

The ancient Celts also recognized this relationship between magic and change. In Druidic times the word for "oak" was "dur," another word for "threshold," and from which derives our word for "door."

Spiritual Practice vs. Spiritual Growth

Is your spiritual growth creating the results you want?

I'm not talking about enlightenment. I'm talking about growth in other life areas. We are, after all, whole beings. Expansion in one area of our lives must be reflected in all other life areas.

It's not unreasonable to expect spiritual growth to create a greater level of fulfillment, more financial abundance, more satisfaction within relationships, and a greater sense of health and well-being. I'll go even further than that. If the rest of our lives are not showing expansion, then we're not really growing spiritually.

Spiritual Awakening ... Now What?

A spiritual awakening is a tremendous gift that leaves us exhilarated, inspired, and full of new awareness and perspective. While nothing in our lives may have changed, we have undergone a profound shift and are forever transformed.

So now what? It is only natural to want to manifest our transformation into our physical existence. We want to share our new consciousness with the world. Unfortunately, the world may not be ready for our revelations! We may feel a strange, sudden dissonance with our external circumstances. Almost overnight, we may feel out of place in our lives.

Tips for Commuting to Work by Bike

This morning, I rode my bike in to work (a distance of about 10 miles), and it felt great. It was the second time I've done that now -- I also did it last week -- and I hope to make it a more frequent thing.

My goal is to get some exercise (I'm training for a triathlon) while also helping the environment and saving money on gas. With the gas prices rising so much in the last few years, it's frustrating to not be able to do anything about it -- but now I am.

Easy, Fun Ways to Feel Prosperous
When the Economy Screams 'Poverty!'

I would start this list with, "Stop watching the news!" but these days that is just about impossible. In New York City, where I live, there are back seat television screens in cabs, elevator flat screens, and RSS feeds everywhere with headlines of unemployment rates, bailouts, caving consumer confidence and recession, recession, recession. Given this daily dosage of fear and poverty consciousness, I want to arm you with some easy, fun ways to guide yourself back to feeling and being prosperous.

Zen Mind: How to Declutter

Recommended Book from Amazon

101 Feng Shui Tips for Your Home
By
Richard Webster One of the things that gives me most peace is have a clean, simple home. When I wake up in the morning and walk out into a living room that has been decluttered, that has a minimalist look, and there isn't junk lying around, there is a calm and joy that enters my heart.

When, on the other hand, I walk out into a living room cluttered with toys and books and extra things all over the place, it is chaos and my mind is frenetic.

I've been a simplifier and a declutterer for years now (probably 8-9 years) and I've gotten pretty good at it, but I've found that you have to keep coming back to revisit your clutter every once in awhile.

What Can You Do to Live a Greener Life?

Living green is now a very well known phrase. It seems that over the last five years the term is getting more popular. Why all the buzz? Well there are many positives to living green, you can make money while preserving the environment. Many families are cashing in on alternate energy sources. They include but are not limited to solar power, wind, and water. These resources are not the only thing that help the environment.

People have started using energy efficient appliances, compact florescent light bulbs, recycling their paper, aluminum, and plastics, using recycled building materials, and upgrading to energy efficient storm windows. All of these are the more obvious things that are being done for our environment. But did you know there are still a few other things you can do to help.

Plant Spiritual Ideas Deep in Your Heart

The fundamental aim of spiritual study is to get facts and principles into the Heart's fertile ground. Ideas must get through habitual and familiar filters; otherwise, the information is diverted from having its full power.

Here are eight proven methods that work wonders.

The Sacred Heart of the World: Restoring Mystical Devotion to Our Spiritual Life
By
David Richo We all need space, we all need time to ourselves. Indeed, one little corner, a fraction of time that you allow yourself can do wonders to your being, to get in touch with your inner self and give expression to your faith. A space that allows you to reflect on your life, on your day, on what tomorrow may bring. A small place where you can shed a tear, or breathe a sigh of relief, quieten a troubled mind or savor a few victories.

It is a place to reflect and contemplate on what is important to you, to allow you to connect with your inner self, without interference, and in solitude. It could be as simple as a table top, a corner of the bedroom, a place just for you to enjoy few precious moments alone.

No, it does not require a whole room, or many hours. Is there a small table top, a spot on the dresser, an isolated corner, an idle spot that collects clutter and dust? If you are on the road a lot, would you not want to carry something to evoke that feeling of connectedness?

The Way Of The Vegetarian

A few weeks ago, I finally went totally vegetarian. It's a move that I have been thinking about for many years, but could never quite bring myself to do. In this article, although I am discussing this issue as an example, you can use the ideas here to move to any goal of your own choosing, i.e. by taking small incremental steps first.

The fact is that you can achieve almost anything - vegetarianism, giving up smoking, ending sugar addiction or alcohol addiction, doubling your income - by taking small steps towards that goal, and gradually chipping away at the barrier preventing you from attaining it.
