Karma. Is it a genuine force at play in our lives? Do you ever find yourself wondering if the Universe has a sneaky scorecard, keeping tabs on your every move? You’re not alone. It’s a concept that captivates us, hinting at one of the Universe’s most alluring mysteries. But if karma really exists, how does it work? Do you do a good deed thinking, “Alright Universe, show me the love”? Or maybe, after a questionable decision, you look over your shoulder anticipating a cosmic response? Whether you fully embrace the concept of karma or not, like me, you probably still find yourself muttering “What have I done to deserve this?” when life throws yet another curveball your way. Am I right? Belief in karma is popular in many organised religions and cultures around the world. But for many of us, we think of karma as a general principle of “what…
Which Hogwart House do you belong in? I’m not kidding. This is a real quiz with a scientific bent. Do you like personality quizzes? I do…even though I know most of them are junk, they’re still fun. And I like them. What’s your dominant chakra? Who’s your guardian angel or what color is your energy? Not plausible at all…but fun. I’ve never taken any of them seriously. But then I don’t even take the Myers-Briggs test seriously either. And that’s one that’s used frequently in business for future development of staff or even hiring. Okay…I’m something of a cynic, or a sceptic. Take your pick. And yet, I still find those fun, quick personality tests incredibly addictive. When I see one I often stop and take it. Just for fun, of course! But I’ve just come across one that sounds like pseudo science, but actually isn’t. Christopher Soto, psychology professor…
I’m a big believer that we are all connected in various ways, through different energies that flow through our world. And that we all have unseen guides that help and guide us through our daily lives. The author of that incredibly successful and best selling book, Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill believed in these unseen guides too. This is what he said: “After I had met with one failure after another, and each time was tempted to desert or neglect my major mission in life, I began to notice that the effects of each failure were immediately wiped out the moment I got back on the track and began to carry out my mission. This happened so often that it could not be explained away as a mere coincidence.” He believed he had unseen helpers supporting him and guiding him towards fulfilling his life purpose. He also believed…
There is no one like you on the planet. You are one of a kind. And you may be beautiful, rich, and successful, but it’s your personality that shines through everything else. Good or not so good. And the energy of our personality is radiated into our life, drawing those most like us into our world. We resonate with those people who are a vibrational match to who we are. But some of us discover so few people who are a true match to our heart and soul. And if this is you, it could be because you have one of the rare personalities of life. So if you’ve ever wondered about those around you the answer could be in your rare personality. It turns out that my personality needs to relax a bit more…and I hate to admit this…but much of what I discovered about myself is true. Except…
If you’ve ever wondered why you think the thoughts you think, or why you process information in a way that’s different to others in your life, I want to remind you of the Enneagram. If you’ve never heard of it or can’t remember what it is, basically it’s a framework for understanding ourselves and others, revealing nine different aspects of our own human consciousness and personality. So what’s this Enneagram personality type all about? Years ago when I first heard of the Enneagram I thought it something ancient and mysterious. And in a way it is. It’s partly designed on ancient spiritual and psychological systems, remade into a modern day workable version by Oscar Ichazo. Basically it creates a framework to help us learn about our patterns and the patterns of others in our circle. And that’s a great idea, because we’re run by our habits and patterns. Given that our life experience…
