First encounters with spirit are often scary and completely unexpected. Ghosts and other discarnate entities will respond to our fear – some deliberately want to scare us so we’ll move away from what they believe is their territory, others are simply stuck and will appreciate your assistance in crossing over.  What is important to understand in any connections with spirit is that you’re the one with the body – which means you have control over the encounter – once you get past your fear. 

A spontaneous contact with spirit opens the door to future contacts – and is a good reason to learn about spirit communications, so you know how to react fearlessly when you meet up with a real ghost. To manage these contacts safely, we must learn to prepare – and protect – ourselves. Otherwise, we are liable to freak out, as our visitor Kae has in her note here: Continue reading →

A few days ago, I saw this article by Deepak Chopra that brilliantly expresses the political choices we face now, and explains why Sarah Palin has been so successful thus far in “activating the base.”

Here is his article called “Obama and the Palin Effect:” Continue reading →

Tap into your Higher Intelligence

By Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler

When we think of intelligence, IQ immediately comes to mind. But IQ may in fact be the most limited aspect of our human intelligence.

Early in the 20th century, the concept of IQ came roaring to the forefront of psychology and education. IQ tests quickly became a popular means of measuring human intelligence.

IQ scores were used to sort people into “levels” of estimated intelligence. The theory was: The higher a person’s IQ, the brighter they were.

The Discovery of EQ
Then in the 1990′s science writer Daniel Goldman wrote a book summarizing years of neuroscience research. The research included in his book – “Emotional Intelligence” – packed a tremendous impact. His book raised emotional intelligence (EQ) to an equal standing with IQ. Continue reading →
