This post is for those who are just beginning to explore the mysterious pathways of spiritual enlightenment.

There are a lot of questions that plague the mind, particularly when you’re starting out. What is it going to be like? Where will it take you?

5 Ways To Clear Your Aura

From Sivana By Matt Caron

Auras are a direct reflection of our attitude and spiritual inclinations. They influence others in subtle ways, and our surroundings too. This is why it’s important to learn how to calm the mind and shift negative energy out.

These tips will do exactly that!

1) Take A Shower or Bath

Showers have a psychological healing effect, which in turn allows the mind to let go of negative thoughts and the aura to become more clear. As you shower, watch the water disappear down the drain or disperse away from your feet,

Here are 4 Tips That Help When A Relationship Ends

Written by: Johnmendu

The ending of a relationship can be a very traumatic experience for both partners. The unfortunate thing is not all love relationships work. No one would ever wish to have a repetition of the same things from relationships, but breakups are always a sign of incompatibility. At times the ending may be amicable but the unfortunate times are when it turns hostile. It does not matter whether it is you or your partner who called for the breakup but the most important thing is to learn on how to push on and recover from the painful ordeal.

5 Steps To Consciously Combat Jealousy

From SivanaSpirit By Lisa Cappiello:

I’d like to believe that because I’m a yogi, a healer, and an ongoing spiritual seeker, that I’m immune to jealousy. Especially since I believe that jealousy is such an unnecessary, low-vibrational state of being, and I never want it directed toward me. But I’d be lying. Truth be told, there are still times that my ego gets the best of me and I fall prey to the green-eyed monster.

Just as it did recently, when one of my boyfriend’s social media followers was, in my opinion, a bit too flirtatious with her commentary.

There’s a Difference Between Alone and Lonely

By Michael Davidson

“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world.” ~Marcus Aurelius

At the end of August I moved to Madison, Wisconsin. This was my second major move in a year.

In both cases, I was separated from almost my entire prior social network. After college, making friends seems like a totally different ball game.

Here in Madison, I wake up before five in the morning to go to work and don’t get back until six or seven on most days of the week. This leaves me feeling exhausted,

Letting Go of Our Past Identities: When It’s Time to Move On and Evolve

By Beth Clayton

“Life is the dancer and you are the dance.” ~Eckhardt Tolle

The day I decided to leave acting felt like being exorcised from my own body.

I was twenty-nine and had been dreaming of being an actor from the time I first saw a regional production of Cats around the age of eight.

I spent the next twenty-one years with laser focus on making that dream a reality—voice lessons, dance classes, summer theater intensives, constant late night college rehearsals, and finally, top conservatory training.

Even my mother,

How I’ve Learned to Free Myself from Depression When It Hits

By James Leatherman

“No feeling is final.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke

I’ve battled depression for most of my life. In my younger years, it gripped me pretty frequently. I was first hit with suicidal thoughts at the age of fifteen, and it scared the bejesus out of me. I was young and dumb and had no idea what was happening.

When I was twenty-five it hit again. This time, however, I understood the cause. I was getting divorced, and my entire life was in turmoil.

It was at this time that I decided that I was going to do something about it.

Understanding Your Life Purpose: How a Life Purpose Reading Can Help You

By Psychic Jessica

“I need to understand my Life Purpose!” I have often heard this statement from clients asking me to help them in their life purpose. So, I thought about writing an article about how I could help you with making decisions about your life purpose and the direction to take. This information can also be used for coaching, soul finding, and heart desires.

When it comes to a Life Purpose Reading, I can read energy, auras, and even sense vibrations. I can guide you regarding what options/opportunities are coming your way and how/when things can work in your favor.

5 Signs You Don’t Know What Your Body Needs

By Brittney daCosta

“The body is a multilingual being. It speaks through its color and its temperature, the flush of recognition, the glow of love, the ash of pain, the heat of arousal, the coldness of nonconviction. It speaks through its constant tiny dance, sometimes swaying, sometimes a-jitter, sometimes trembling. It speaks through the leaping of the heart, the falling of the spirit, the pit at the center, and rising hope.” ~Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

A 7-Step Plan for Finding Love After a Devastating Breakup

By Eric Ibey

“Resilience in love means finding strength from within that you can share with others.” ~Sheryl Sandberg

It took me a couple months to start repairing my broken heart after the toughest breakup of my life. I thought we were going to spend our lives together, but the gods of love had other plans.

After I’d grieved in healthy (and not-so-healthy ways) I knew I could take two paths: stay stuck in my misery or pick myself up, dust off my sadness, and make a plan to move on.

And now it’s time for you to move on and find love again,

Think You’re Not Good Enough? How to Stop Holding Yourself Back

“Stop holding yourself back. If you aren’t happy, make a change.” ~Unknown

Growing up in a culture where physical beauty determines how successful you are in finding a job, a suitable husband, and a promising career, and most importantly, bringing honor to your family reputation, I was a disappointment to my family, especially to my mother.

She was the definition of a perfect beauty—5’6″, slim, big eyes, high-bridged nose, perfect skin, and gifted with charisma. I was the opposite.

As I got older, my mother’s negative words got louder and louder. They were a constant reminder that I wasn’t good enough;

8 Solutions for Loneliness That Don’t Require a Romantic Relationship

By Sue Ellson

“People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.” ~Joseph F. Newton

The epiphany has finally occurred. Why on earth has it taken so long? I ask myself this as I look back on the last nine years, which I have spent trying to cover up my real issue. Loneliness.

After getting married at twenty and then leaving nineteen years later, it took another two years before I met another man that I fell in love with almost instantly. He told me from the very beginning it would never be a relationship,

The Problem with Forgiveness and What I Now Do Instead

By Annette Roberts

“Change is the end result of all true learning.” ~Leo Buscaglia

I cringe writing this. I have eaten so much humble pie that my pants don’t fit. This was a really hard lesson to learn.

I had a forgiveness problem.

When I was a kid, I learned to say sorry when I messed up and forgive other people when they did. With three sisters all two years apart, I got plenty of practice in as a kid (we all did).

It was a pretty standard routine:

1. Someone would mess up—say something horrible,

If Only I Knew My Worth…

By Sara Fabian

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ~Albert Einstein

Looking back on my past, I see that I have spent most of my precious time striving to improve myself instead of celebrating the very gift of being alive and healthy. For many years, I though I wasn’t good enough, and perfection was my worst enemy.

I considered myself pretty but not beautiful, somewhat smart but not truly intelligent.

The Wisdom of Our Body: Slow Down and Tune In to Take Care of Yourself

By Chetna Mehta

“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophies.” ~Friedrich Nietzche

Parked in a dimly lit garage in the middle of the city at around 7pm, I sat in the driver’s seat, seatbelt still on, texting two different male acquaintances who had expressed sexual interest in me.

“What are you up to tonight?” Waiting for a response back, I checked my phone every few minutes. The resounding emptiness in me that craved to be filled felt like it was growing deeper. After some time of getting immersed in social media,

The Power of Perspective: A Simple Way to Ease Anxiety

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking.” ~Eckhart Tolle

One of the first ideas I learned in law school was “the reasonable third person,” a legal fiction created to help figure out if someone has acted unreasonably. There’s no clear-cut definition, so I spent a lot of energy arguing what a reasonable person would do. This hypothetical person haunted my law school exams, and later, my career.

But I realized the reasonable third person could teach me something beyond the courtroom.

Accept and Value Yourself: 11 Ways to Embrace Who You Are

By Johanna Schram

“You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” ~Brené Brown

I can’t remember exactly what it was she was trying to convince me I could do, but I had an argument to counter every bit of encouragement. There was no shortage to the ways I believed I wasn’t good enough.

She was trying to help me see myself the way she saw me—as someone smart, capable, and full of potential. I wasn’t buying it.

I’d been pretending for so long to be a better person than I really believed myself to be.
