This August Rant From The Heart: Hell And Heaven Are Within You And You Choose What You Will Project

The world is a beautiful place and it is a terrible place. It is filled with the greatest of the greatest and the worst of the worst.august-rant-from-the-heart

The world itself is neutral.

The planet is just a planet. Nature is just nature. Our subjectivity is what gives meaning and labels to things.

The religions we have created, the values and ideals we try to live up to are humanity’s compass to reach divinity. But we forget that this divinity is within us.

We forget that we have given ourselves these values and ideals. The biggest problem is we don’t take responsibility to choose them.

The monsters and heroes we have created, all of those narratives live within us.

However, it’s hard to believe we have any control. So we lose ourselves trying to control everything else.

We lose ourselves trying to escape monsters and hell out there, forgetting these associations are within us.

We do everything we can to avoid the responsibility of truly facing these things within us, so we project them outside of ourselves.

We fight each other out there, projecting our inner turmoil upon each other, making enemies out of each other, telling the same lies and excuses just on the opposite side.

But the world doesn’t have a side, does it? We are all in this together, aren’t we? And in the vastness of The Universe we are far away from everything else but each other.

Literally, all we have in the midst of eternity and infinity is each other. And we let our fears and perceived unworthiness brainwash us against each other.

The truth is, nobody is out there to get you.

We are all just doing the best we can about what we believe is right. The monsters and enemies are within us and we choose upon who we will project them.

But as much as we project enemies and monsters, as more we feed our fears, and as more enemies and monsters we create within others.

It’s not that there is no danger outside, it’s just that there are no predetermined enemies nor sides you should choose from.

The sides exist, but within you. And you create how many sides there will be, how many enemies and monsters are out there.

Both hell and heaven are within you.

You choose what you will project upon the world and that’s all that matters. Either you make someone’s day a little better or a little worse.

You choose what you project.

It’s your power and your freedom to choose. It’s your responsibility to create the world you want to create.

By facing your inner demons, by dealing with your inner wounds, you make the world a better place. You are making yourself a beam of light instead of darkness.

You are not supposed to fight monsters, to defeat empires of evil or save the world in a giant battle between the light and the darkness.

All you are supposed to do to make the world a better place is help an old lady cross the street, smile to a stranger, give someone hope that the day will get better.

To make the world better make someone’s day a little better.

Those little things make the biggest difference. Those little things create a ripple of positivity. And those little things are most sincere.

By consciously choosing to make someone’s day a little better you become an active creator of the better world.

And it’s not your responsibility to create a better world yourself, it’s all of ours.

You don’t just make someone have a little brighter day, but you are inspiring others to do this for someone else.

If You Can Choose Anything, What’s The One Thing You Should Start Doing This August To Be Healthier…

Rest and relaxation are the most underrated nutrients for health.

The past month we gave you a really important advice, deep breathing. This sole habit has a potential to make you healthier, happier and more relaxed.

However, this month we will focus more on the relaxation. We need to give relaxation the importance it deserves in our everyday life.

If deep breathing gives you a little momentary fix of relaxation daily, you should give yourself one whole day to just relax.

We are really serious when we say that relaxation is crucially important for health. Most people neglect rest and relaxation and underrate their importance.

But being proactive about your relaxation is as important as being proactive about eating healthy and exercising.

Give yourself one whole self care day every week!one-thing-you-should-start-doing-this-august-to-be-healthier

Design a little oasis of relaxation for yourself. Do whatever your desired relaxation activity is, sauna, massage, spa, walking in nature, swimming, or just watching your favorite show.

You can do one of these, or mix a couple of them. You can get creative and literally construct this one day to keep you relaxed.

You can plan the meals you will have, the relaxing activities you will do, the mindset you will hold, the things you will be surrounded with, the people you will hang out with.

Create a day just for you. A day you will show kindness and care to yourself and relax your nervous system.

You should have such day every single week. If that’s something you cannot fit in your schedule, do one day in two weeks.

You should consider this seriously because rest and relaxation are really important for maintaining your health.

Psychologists Reveal 5 Simple Tricks How To Attract The Person You Like

If you are like most people, you have searched for tricks you can learn to attract that exact person you really, really like. All people want a formula for attraction.

Well, psychologists say there actually are such tricks that can help you attract someone to like you back.

As most relationship masters say, attraction is not a choice. Therefore, you can influence whether or not someone is attracted to you if you know what buttons to push.

This is not some kind of manipulation, it’s just learning how to behave to highlight your most positive sides and help the other person see you in a positive light.

According to psychologists, there are 5 simple tricks anyone can do to help them attract the person they like.

5 Simple Tricks How To Attract The Person You Like:psychologists-reveal-tricks-how-to-attract-the-person-you-like

1. Make them associate you with positive emotions.

This simple trick is very powerful. When we think of someone, we often have a default emotion attach to them, like a color.

You can use this in your favor by creating a beautiful and positive color associated with you.

To create a positive emotion associated with you in their mind you should first evoke this emotion within them.

The best emotion you should aim to evoke is pleasure, the second best is excitement or happiness.

When you are with the person you like aim to make them feel pleasure or happiness. A secret tip for making them feel excited is taking them to an amusement park ride.

2. Look them directly in their eyes.

When you look someone directly in their eyes you are subconsciously telling them that you are open to receive their affection.

This triggers their subconsciousness to perceive you as potential mate, or a threat. However, since you are friendly and kind, you are not associated with the latter.

Looking someone directly in the eyes shows confidence. It also makes you appear more honest and trustworthy.

You can use this trick to raise their attraction for you, but the best thing about this trick is that you can see the attraction rising in real time by observing their pupil.

When we see something we really love, when we think about something we love or when we are close to something we are attracted to, our pupils dilate. So watch out for this clue.

3. Call their name often.

When someone hears their own name, psychologists say that it helps validate their own reality, and makes them feel more endeared towards the person that is speaking.

This has something to do with our parents. When we grow up the people we love the most are our parents and they are the first ones who call us by our name, every single day.

So when we hear someone calling us by our name, our mind automatically associates emotions of familiarity, friendliness and kindness.

Just think about how we talk to each other. We rarely use our names, we use nicknames and some slang to make each other notice each other.

If you call someone by their real name, you separate from the herd, and if you do it often while you converse with them, it will subconsciously make them feel closer to you.

4. Copy them.

When talking to someone, try copying their body language, gestures, and facial expressions.

This trick is called mirroring, or the “chameleon effect,” and it occurs when people unconsciously mimic each other’s behavior. That mimicry facilitates liking.

There was an experiment done where researchers had 72 men and women work on a task with a partner. The subjects who worked with the researchers mimicked their partners.

At the end of the interaction, the researchers asked the participants to indicate how much they liked their partners.

The participants who had a partner mimicking them were more likely to say that they liked their partner. So you can use this trick when you are with the person you really like.

5. Show them fun.

Do you know what’s the one thing that is above everything and promotes attraction more than anything else, and by anything else I mean money, looks, fame and status? Fun!

Yeah, fun is the ultimate thing we are all seeking when it boils down to what creates attraction. If you are able to give fun, people will be attracted to you.

All the other things are subconsciously looked as tools that can help us create fun and a sense of carefreeness.

But the trick about fun is that you don’t need anything to be able to spread it. Tools can help you but eventually you can produce fun within yourself and spread it.

It’s more complicated than it sounds, we are used to be fed entertainment. One great way to produce fun yourself is to learn how to entertain yourself without anything.

Fulfill The 5 Essential Needs Of Your Solar Plexus Chakra To Unlock Your Personal Power

0

As human beings, we have different needs that must be fulfilled. Needs that aren’t met or fulfilled have the tendency of getting back to us by leading to an imbalance in one or more areas of our life.

These needs strongly relate to our 7 chakras. The most basic and easier to fulfill start at the base, basically the root chakra. As we get to the higher chakras, these needs become more complex and more abstract, making them hard to understand and difficult to fulfill.

This article focuses on the essential needs of the Solar Plexus chakra because it’s the one that is most often overlooked for the main reason that it’s about embracing our ego identity and accepting our uniqueness.

In short, the Solar Plexus chakra is a “me” chakra that focuses mostly on the self in contrast to the heart chakra that focuses on others. However, first you need to find and embrace your personal power before you can find the power to truly help others.

Fulfilling the essential needs of the Solar Plexus chakra may appear selfish and egoistic, but without self acceptance and self empowerment, finding your self worth and value is not possible.

Paradoxically, in a state of self empowerment and self worth, you will make decisions that are much more selfless and kind to other people. Hence, loving and taking care of the self must be done first before going out and making the world more beautiful for others.

Here are the essential needs of your Solar Plexus chakra and how to acquire them.

Fulfill The 5 Essential Needs Of Your Solar Plexus Chakra:the-5-essential-needs-of-your-solar-plexus-chakra

1. Acknowledgment.

Give yourself a pat on the back everytime you accomplish something.

No matter how small your accomplishments are, celebrating little victories can boost your confidence and inspires you to do more each day.

Congratulate yourself for cooking the perfect meal or having eliminated clutter in your home.

2. Support.

Talk to yourself in the mirror and say encouraging words.

Look yourself in the mirror. Let your gaze penetrate deep down in the eyes of the person you see in the mirror.

See yourself as you really are and say: “You’re awesome!” Talk to yourself as if you’re talking lovingly to someone else. See how it feels to receive such support, even though it’s from no other than you. The point is to learn how to be your own avid supporter.

3. Care.

Indulge yourself in things that make you feel good.

If you want to look good. Do it. Buy the pair of shoes you’ve been wanting to wear. Just because you want to look your best doesn’t mean you’re egotistic and less spiritual.

This only means you’re a healthy individual who knows what it wants to be your best self. You do it because it makes you happy and that’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.

4. Recognition.

Share your accomplishments with the people you love.

Your loved ones are your personal cheerleaders who desire only your best. Whatever accomplishments you have, share it with them, you can even brag about it.

Accomplishments are meant to be shared so that the good vibes you get will create more good vibes motivating you for more accomplishments.

5. Confidence.

Act like you’re somebody to actually become the somebody you act to be.

What you know you can be, inside, can be manifested outside. But you need to shift the way you see yourself. You need to create inner confidence to become who you want to be.

Stand tall and trick yourself into feeling confidence. If you start acting like your best self, you will start becoming your best self. Just don’t listen what others think, they don’t have a clue who you truly are and who you can become.

When you give your third chakra these 5 essentials, acknowledgment, support, care, recognition, and confidence, you will balance it and unlock your personal power. The best part is that you can give all these things yourself.

How To Know If Your Partner Is No Longer Good For You?

Having someone to build a loving relationship with is a beautiful thing, however, only if they are the right person for you.

Being in a relationship with someone who is no longer good for you can be hell. It can damage both of you emotionally and spiritually.

Of course, it’s normal to have a couple of fights, every relationship has them, but these fights are constructive and for the best of the relationship.

To be more concise, the right relationship is a platform that makes both, you and your partner better versions.

The biggest mistake people make in a relationship is letting their love shape the way they see reality.

They are convincing themselves that their intuition is wrong, that they are just overly worried or maybe even needy.

But the truth is, you feel some kind of unease about your relationship for a reason. So here is how you make really sure whether or not your partner is no longer good for you.

There Are 6 Big Signs That Tell Your Partner Is No Longer Good For You:how-to-know-your-partner-is-no-good-for-you

1. Your partner has different core values about the relationship.

You might have started your relationship without a direction. However, as people grow and change, so do relationships.

he difference is, in order for a relationship to grow, both people need to have the same goals for where the relationship is going.

If you are looking for the relationship to become more serious, and your partner is not there yet, you should talk.

If they don’t share your goals, and they just want to fool around while you want to build a family, than you are wasting your time with them.

2. Your partner does not want to meet your physical and emotional needs.

Attraction is what pushes you and your partner together to form a relationship. Without attraction, you are just friends.

You both have physical and emotional needs, and relationships are mainly designed to meet these needs.

If your partner is no longer attracted to you, or if they don’t care to make you feel loved, than what are they doing in a relationship with you.

You should ask them exactly this. Maybe you can do something to reignite the passion. If they are not interested, you don’t fit together.

3. Your partner is holding you back.

A relationship, as we said, is a platform that makes both people involved better versions. If your partner tries to sabotage your success than they are holding you back.

People can become needy, and often times, people in a relationship are scared if their partner starts to grow faster than them.

They are afraid of their partner overgrowing them and leaving, so they subconsciously hold them back and sabotage them. Codependency is choking your growth.

Instead, a relationship should be interdependent, where both partners focus on their personal growth, they support each other and help each other grow more.

Even if one partner grows faster than the other, they choose to value their partner’s successes.

They support their partner from a place of love and abundance, rather than sabotage each other from a place of scarcity and fear.

4. Your partner is abusing you.

Abuse doesn’t need to be physical.

There is emotional abuse, one where your partner torments you through emotions, creates drama, makes you feel guilty and acts as if nothing happened without talking about it.

There is mental abuse, one where your partner might gaslight you or make you feel insane.

And there is spiritual abuse, one where your partner might poison drip you with negativity and fear until you reduce your social life to a point where you don’t leave your home.

All types of abuses are major warning signs that this partner is not the right one for you.

5. Your partner is not respecting you.

Mutual respect is one of the main ingredients for a healthy relationship. This does not mean that you should always agree with each other.

In fact, having different opinions and conversing about them is a constructive habit most healthy relationships have.

Having mutual respect means you respect your partner’s opinions and views even though you might not agree with all of them.

This respect goes beyond who is right and who is wrong. It’s a sign of trust, love and humbleness.

If your partner lacks respect for you, they are not accepting you as you are, they try to change you into something they agree with.

6. Your partner does not care.

If your partner is not involved in the relationship as much as you are, you should talk with them.

The right partner will see their errors and try to make things better by some kind of change in behavior or demonstration of their care for the relationship.

It’s normal to make errors in a relationship, however, it’s how we make up for our errors that matters. It shows what kind of people we truly choose to be.

The right partner cares about your relationship and they choose to keep your love alive every single day.

If they lack this essential trait, they don’t fit to be a part of the relationship, and they are not good for you.

3 Ways To Empower Your Solar Plexus Chakra And Find Your Personal Power

0

Your solar plexus chakra is the seat of your personal power that fuels your will and inner strength. It’s your inner sun that kickstarts metabolism and controls your energy.

Home to your gut feelings, it’s where you can connect with the spirits and access their ageless wisdom.

Having a balanced solar plexus chakra is of utmost importance because it’s the balancing point of all the 7 chakras.

An inactive solar plexus chakra makes you feel lethargic and less motivated to pursue your goals.

On the other hand, if it’s overactive, it makes you jump from one activity to the other, making you more dominant over other people.

There are a number of ways to bring balance to your solar plexus chakra. Here are the 3 that turned to be most effective for us.

3 Ways To Empower Your Solar Plexus Chakra:ways-to-empower-your-solar-plexus-chakra

1. The solar plexus chakra dance.

In ancient times, warriors developed a dance that brought balance to their inner energies and enhanced their strength and courage.

Dancing the Chakradance is dancing like an ancient warrior who goes with the flow of the music until he feels the fire inside him ignites and fuels his body with energy and strength.

The Chakradance is the warrior archetype’s inner journey. The warrior archetype depicts a person who is aware of his own strength and stands up for his own truth.

Healthy solar plexus chakra feels exactly how a warrior archetype feels, in the midst of fear and discomfort he still finds the courage to face every obstacle that befalls him.

To do this dance you need to play a song that gives you a sense of courage and power. We all have such songs, ones that we feel fearless while we listen to them.

Play this song and let the music spark up the flame inside you. The Chakradance encourages a vigorous movement of your legs and arms.

When it starts, you only notice the flame. As the music intensifies, the fire increases until you notice the fire within you bursting like flames that feel liberating and powerful.

Everything that’s no longer needed slowly dissipates and your body feels being energetically refueled.

After the dance you will achieve a clarity of purpose, passion, and an empowered will to tackle your goals.

2. Do something that your idol would respect.

We all have idols. These people, imaginary or real, are how we identify our superior ego, how we picture our ideals and values within a character.

However, it’s not always wise to meet your idols. That’s why you should look at your idols as inner personal mentors.

Ask yourself what would your idol do in a certain situation you feel afraid or uncertain of. Ask yourself what can you do to become a better man, what would your idol respect.

Once you know what this thing is, do it. It doesn’t have to be something big. In fact, it should be something as simple as helping someone out without asking anything back.

When you do the thing that your idol would be proud of you doing, you will empower your solar plexus chakra and fill it with pride.

3. Face your shame with dignity.

We feel shame for a reason. It’s not a bad emotion, it tells us where we fail to exercise our true power so we can see if we make some mistake and make sure we are a good person.

If we are not hurting anyone, if we play by the rules of society to a normal degree, and if we follow our heart doing what we want, but we still feel shame, then there is a problem.

However, the problem is not in what we do, but rather, it’s how we see ourselves. The problem is within.

Most of us feel shame when we follow our heart or when we do something we are passionate about because that’s how we were raised.

We were raised to be told what we should do. So, we have a sense of not being good enough to decide for ourselves. We feel unworthy of our own desires.

That’s why you need to face your shame with dignity. Inspect what you are ashamed of and face this shame. Ask it what it can teach you.

Ask yourself why you feel as not enough to use your personal power, see what you can learn, but tell your shame you are its boss.

It told you what you needed to know, but you don’t need it anymore. You are thankful for teaching you, but you also know that this type of shame is created by society, not you.

And there is no way you can get better at making decisions and using your personal power if you don’t free yourself to be who you are.
