A Breathing Practice to Reduce Stress and Anxiety

If you feel stressed out or about to be, take an inner sensory snapshot of your entire body/mind. Simply observe what is happening in your sensations, emotions, and thoughts as honestly as you can.

Now, sensing the earth supporting you and for at least three minutes, put most of your attention on your breathing, especially on your out-breath. Let your out-breath begin to lengthen naturally as you breathe in through your nose and out slowly through pursed lips (as though you were gently making a candle flame flicker without extinguishing it). Don't put any emphasis on your inhalation; let it arise by itself when it's ready.

As the lengthening of your out-breath takes place, you will find yourself beginning to relax. To deepen this relaxation, hum quietly for several breaths during the exhalation, sensing the action of the humming throughout your body. Don't force the humming in any way, and be sure after each out-breath (hum) to simply wait for the in-breath to arise on its own through your nose.

When you're ready to stop, just return to sensing and listening for several breaths to whatever is occurring both inside and out. Then take another sensory snapshot of yourself. How do you feel? Are you freer now from your habitual mental and emotional reactions? Are you more able now to experience the life force moving spontaneously through you? Just sense and observe what is now happening in this amazing temple of energy that you call your body.

Master PROSPERITY PRINCIPLES. Enjoy the best life.

Principles for ATTRACTING wealth {from Book '50 Prosperity Classics' of Tom Butler-Bowdon}
_ Paradoxically, wealth (and happiness) comes most easily to those who forget
themselves in the SERVICE of others. The law of giving infallibly returns more to
the giver than they contribute.
_ When you focus on other people and circumstances as the source of your prosperity,
you tend to lose it. But when you RECOGNIZE God, a higher power, or the
UNIVERSE AS SOURCE OF SUPPLY, money begins to flow. Actual money does
not make you secure; what does is a thorough knowledge of the universe’s
power to provide.
_ To receive good things you must first cleanse your mind of clutter and negative
emotions. In forming a VACUUM, you allow good things to rush in. When you
are resentful, you are bound to the person or situation you resent. In forgiving,
you free yourself and allow the floodgates of prosperity to open.
_ The universe is perfectly ordered, therefore the person who makes their own
affairs more orderly is attuned to universal riches. To receive more money, you
must first DEMONSTRATE that YOU CAN MANAGE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE  well, however
little it is.
_ The basic law of the universe is that things come into being that did not exist
before. When you CREATE MENTAL PICTURES of health, wealth, and happiness, you
are not trying to change the laws of nature, but instead fulfilling your unique
promise to bring these things into being.
_ According to the law of attraction, whatever you put your ATTENTION ON
through thought or desire becomes reality. You attract to yourself things or
people that are the equivalent of your current state of being, or “vibration.”
_ The “creative process” is the specific way in which you can use the law of
attraction to obtain what you want. It involves: Asking the universe, and
BEING VERY CLEAR what you want; Believing, ACTING & SPEAKING AS
though YOU HAVE already received what you have asked for; and Receiving—
feeling great that it is coming to you, which sets up the necessary vibration to
manifest the desire. This process is summed up in the Bible: “All things whatsoever
ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them and ye shall
have them.”
_ Deciding to ELEVATE YOUR MOOD or feeling in EACH MOMENT  is vital for increasing
your vibration, which in turn attracts things, people, and feelings of a like
vibration. To be both rich and happy, you must make a positive mental attitude
a basic habit of living.
_ If you are low on funds, PRAISE n BLESS whatever you have, and imagine it
growing larger. Blessing both what you have and what others have puts the law
of increase into motion.

Lobsang Rampa - You Forever

You Forever was written in the 1960's, preceding much of todays "new age" literature. Whereas a book such as "Celestine Prophecy" deals with these issues in a parable form, Lobsang Rampa approaches subjects such as astral travel, telepathy,human body and the atomistic view in its relation to smaller and higher forms of matter, the etheric and magnetic fields, the aura and it's colors, the wave fields of telepathy, clairvoyance and psychometry along with other waves of existence in all matter and karma from a teachers point of view. IF you've become aware of your spirituality but need more practical guidance then this book is for you.
There are no doctrines, no religious dogmas, but the endorsement to let people have their own philosophies, religions and doctrines.

Conversations With GOD - I

We are all One.
There's Enough.
There's Nothing We Have to Do.
Ours Is Not A Better Way, Ours Is Merely Another Way.

Existence is essentially non-dual in nature. At the highest level there is no separation between anything and there is only one of us; there is only God, and everything is God. The second statement, following from the first, means that we, in this seeming existence, lack nothing and if we choose to realize it, we have enough of whatever we think we need (or the means to create it) within us. The third statement combines the first two to conclude that God, being all there is and is thus always sufficient unto Itself, has no need of anything and therefore has no requirements of humanity. The final concept puts an end to our need to always be right. Given that we have and are everything, and there's nothing we have to do, there are an infinite number of ways to experience this, not just the one way we may have chosen so far.

There is no right or wrong in the eyes of God. No matter how bad something might seem to you, it may seem completely acceptable to another human being. We all operate differently because of our different world views.
The purpose of your life is to understand who you really are. You can choose who you want to be because there’s no predetermined ideal concept that you should live up to. That means that your purpose in life is what you choose it to be.
When you pray or you ask something, the answer is always given. Yet if you don’t look for the answer, you will not notice it.
God can use any channel to give you the answer to your question because God made all channels. So when you ask, you might hear the answer in the first line of the movie you watch, the next article you read or the next sentence you hear from your friend. When you ask, therefore, expect to receive the answer and be alert to not miss it.
God says yes to any requests made by people, no matter how right or wrong they may seem. This is because God will never interfere with the free will of people.
In truth, everything in this world is holy. Money is holy because it came from God. Only if you love money and think that money is good can you have it. If you think that poor is good and rich is evil, money will always be repelled from you.

Conversations With GOD - II

God talks about the importance of telling only truth. When you lie, you react to what was; when you say truth, you create who you really are. You should approach every moment without any thoughts or opinions because if you let thoughts or limiting beliefs rule the moment, you will react to your reality and recreate the same things over and over again. If you, however, respond to each moment without any thoughts about it, you will create a much more pleasant reality.

God describes that there are no bad people. There are only people who have DIFFERENT VIEWS of the world than your own. That doesn’t make them bad people. You cannot know if your view of the world is correct although you will think it is.

In truth, everyone acts in a way they think is best for them. They all want the same things as you do, but they go about getting them in different ways because of their different awareness levels.


God also explains the power of collective consciousness. The more people think about the same thing, the quicker it will manifest. That’s why it’s very dangerous to think about the end of the world or global warming.

God explains that most people on this earth are very unaware. That is evident from our attitudes about bad and good, our view about competition and our unwillingness to end the damage we do to the earth. Most people don’t understand that short term gains will produce long term losses. This would never happen if people understood that there is no separation between anything in this world.

God explains that at present the universe is constantly expanding. Everything on this earth consists of the same matter. In truth, in any solid object there is 2% of matter and 98% of air. There will come the time when the universe will contract as it did before. Then we will all become one. And then the universe will expand again, and contract again and that will be so always.

God also addresses the feeling of guilt. He/she tells that people should never feel guilty about what they like most. We should love money, sex, power, glory, success, fame, having more, knowing God because that’s all good. There is nothing shameful about these things, yet the unaware people in our world make us ashamed of things that are natural to us. This entraps our souls and produces all kinds of negative effects, such as crime, nervous breakdowns and all kinds of other things that would never happen if there would be no artificial guilt.

When you feel good doing something, your soul as though shouts This is who I am!. When you, however, entrap your soul by feeling shameful about things that are supposed to feel good, you as though kill your soul. Therefore you should always do what feels good because DOING WHAT FEELS GOOD is the ROAD TO HEAVEN and not to hell, as some unaware people think.



About the SEX issue: People made the most natural EXPRESSION OF LOVE dirty and shameful and only because of that rape and crime exist. People are not allowed to express their feelings freely therefore their suppressed emotions grow into violence.
you should ENJOY EVERYTHING but need nothing.
why most people in this world are unhappy. This is because most of them still live on a body level. That means they think that they are their bodies. Because of that they are scared of death because they think that’s the end. They feed the body, clothe the body, give the body stuff. They don’t exercise their minds, nor do they expand their souls.

They don’t read meaningful books,
you should nourish your mind and nurture your soul. Paint, bake, dance, listen to music.



People starve to death every single day and instead of helping poor countries, rich countries spend the majority of their money for military purposes. That shows a very low awareness level.

In truth, there is MORE THAN ENOUGH of food and other goods for everyone in this world. Yet the greed of a few keeps people dying every minute. Instead of spending massive amounts of money on guns, governments should provide food for those who need it. It should be about sharing and not about competition. This, again, all happens because people think they are separate from each other.

God also addresses some interesting and upsetting ways governments work. The reason why tobacco is allowed to be grown but growing hemp is illegal is because hemp can be used to produce paper and other goods much cheaper than with the use of trees. This governments know very well and for a bigger profit they allow trees to be cut and discourage the growing of hemp.

Hemp, or cannabis, in other words, would be a much more cheaper option to produce paper, ropes clothes and even medicine. Yet for profit reasons governments are ready to destroy massive amounts of forests and ignore environmentally friendly alternatives. This clearly shows that our governments are not introducing progress, but destroying our world.

God says that we can all eliminate suffering by eliminating separations between each other. View the whole world as your family, eliminate borders and be one nation.

The reason people and governments don’t share but try to take from each other is because they derive life’s greatest HAPPINESS from the outside rather than INSIDE. As long as this is the case, people will want what you have and they will refuse to share it, because their physical eyes see everything as limited.

God mentions that all problems in the world are SPIRITually based and therefore they can only be solved spiritually and not physically. Yet the majority of people and all governments try to solve all the problems physically.  


SETH - The Nature Of Personal Reality

Understand How WE CREATE OUR REALITY from our Thoughts, Emotions & Beliefs. Learn How to take charge of our Minds & our Lives truly.
If changes are to occur, they must be mental and psychic changes. These will be reflected in your environment. Negative, distrustful, fearful, or degrading attitudes toward anyone work against the self.

TELEPATHY operates CONSTANTLY. If you continually expect an individual to behave in a particular manner, then you are constantly sending him telepathic suggestions that he will do so. Each individual reacts to suggestion.(subjective communication at early morning,when receiver wakes up,with focus upon 3rd Eye). According to the specific conditions existing at the time, such an individual will to some extent or another act according to the mass suggestions he receives.

These mass suggestions include not only those given to him by others, both verbally and telepathically, but also those he has given to himself, both in the waking and dream states. If an individual is in a state of despondency, this is because he has already become prey to negative suggestions of his own and others…

There are obviously ways in which you mold your own conditions, protect yourself from your own negative suggestions and those of others. You must learn to erase a negative thought or picture by replacing it with its opposite.

What you see in others is the materialization – the projection of what you think you are – not necessarily, however, of what you are. For example, if others seem deceitful to you, it is because you deceive yourself, and then project this outward upon others.

If an individual sees only evil and desolation in the physical world, it is because he is obsessed with evil and desolation and projects them outward, and closes his eyes to all else. If you want to KNOW what you think of yourself, then ASK yourself what you think of others, and you will find your answer.


YOU ARE MULTIDIMENSIONAL PERSONALITY, and within you lies all the knowledge about yourself, your challenges and problems, that you will ever need to know. Others can help you in their own way… But my mission is to remind you of the incredible power within your own being, and to encourage you to recognize and use it. 

…Ideas have an electromagnetic reality. Beliefs are strong ideas about the nature of reality.
Your thoughts have a very definite vital reality. Beliefs are thoughts reinforced by imagination and emotion concerning the nature of your reality.) Ideas generate emotion. LIKE LIKES LIKE, so similar ideas group about each other and you accept those that fit in with your particular “system” of ideas.



YOU ARE SENDER & RECEIVER. Because ideas have an electromagnetic reality, beliefs, because of their intensity,THEY radiate strongly. Due to the organizing nature of your own psychological nature, similar beliefs congregate, and you will readily accept those with which you already agree...
Limiting ideas therefore predispose you to accept others of a similar nature. Exuberant ideas of freedom, spontaneity and joy automatically collect others of their kind also. There is a constant interplay between yourself and others in the exchange of ideas, both telepathically and on a conscious level.

This interchange follows, again, your conscious beliefs... You react only to those telepathic messages that fit in with your conscious ideas about yourself and your reality.
Telepathic communication is constant. This is usually at an unconscious level merely because your conscious mind is in a state of becoming... As an example, if your conscious ideas are relatively positive you will react to telepathically received information of a similar nature, even if you do so on an unconscious level. ....A FAMILY CAN CONSTANTLY REINFORCE ITS JOY by CONCENTRATing ON IDEAS OF VITALITY,STRENGTH & CREATIVITY.  

THE SETH MATERIAL

Seth delivers knowledge about After Death & between Lives, Health & how to heal illness, Dreams & Out Of Body Experiences, Reincarnation, True Nature of Time, God Concept, NATURE PF PERSONAL REALITY, MultiDimensional Self, Exercise to explore inner Reality and connect with Inner Self etc...
Must Read book for all to solve everyDay Problems >> Expand Consciousness >> Directly connect with our own greater knowledge & being.

SETH - The Eternal Validity of the Soul

The creative POWER to form your own experience is WITHIN you now, as it has been since the time of your birth and before.
Your beliefs form reality. Your individual beliefs and your joint beliefs. Now the INTENSITY of a belief is extremely important...

And, if you believe, in very simple terms, that people mean you well, and will treat you kindly, they will. And, if you believe that the world is against you, then so it will be in your experience. And, if you believe...IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL BEGIN TO DETERIORATE AT 50, then so you shall.
You cannot escape your beliefs. They are, however, the method by which you create your experience.
It is important that you here realize that you are not at the mercy of the unexplainable, that you are not at the mercy of events over which you have no control whether those events are psychological events or physical ones, in your terms.

Your events, your lives, your experiences, are caused by your present beliefs. Change the beliefs and your life changes.
