The predictions for December 21 of this year are many, they come from very varied sources, and essentially they all address 'the end'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This predicted end however, is not by far meant to describe a destructive process. We as individuals, as communities, as a planet, have in fact been engaging for some time now in destructive behaviors at the physical and spiritual levels, in our finances and towards our environment. Simply stated, if we continue on this path we don't really need any ancient prophecy to mark our demise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayas as well as other ancient civilizations did in fact define this now notorious date (or dates closely related to it) as the end of the world, for them there had been different worlds after creation. This was the name they gave to cosmic cycles, where alignment of celestial bodies were such, that they marked major energy shifts, and this was not necessarily a bad thing, quite the contrary for it was actually viewed as something positive, generally speaking a time of renewal, a chance for improvement. For instance in the first major cycle they considered human beings were made of mud, in our current cycle human beings are made of flesh, and in the one to come they will be mainly spiritual or energetic beings, meaning that we will evolve and develope capabilities of a higher order, while still living the life we know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the perspective of Quantum Physics essentially everything is interconnected, therefore not even a thought can be isolated. Consider this, according to QP anything can be anywhere and everywhere at the same time, it also states that a particular object comes into existence at the moment we physically look at it. Also consider this, any thought we have, is in fact real, and we actualy bring things into existence with merely our thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now stop for a moment and think of all the wonderful opportunities we have, just using our mind and thought process in a positive way. From a cosmic standpoint we are but a small part of this universal equation, however one with the capacity to tap into the energy of the cosmic intelligence,  and through this we can bring about wonderful changes. &lt;br /&gt;All it takes to achieve these seemingly lofty goal is literally putting your mind to it. There is a samll catch though, the universal results attained are directly proportional to the the amount of energy put into this transformative process. In other words if we truly desire substantial, long lasting, positive and fulfilling change, the amount of  energy required must reach a certain critical mass. Unfortunately no one knows just how much is required, but with out a doubt the more of us that participate in this project the greater the chances of reaching this goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, there will in fact be an end, but only to a cycle, with the ensuing and practically limitless possibilities of creating a far better existence. We all need to rely on everyone, but we must all 'individually' start doing our part to create this much needed critical mass. If we truly want good things to come into our lives, we can start by avoiding excuses like " but no one else is doing it", and just move forward and take action by doing your part.&lt;br /&gt;At Bliss and Light we have been working on the World Reiki Project to do just that. Through Reiki we believe that a strongly positive confluence of this good energy can be achieved in an easier, much more productive and meaningful manner. That is why we have made Special Reiki Packages which are highly affordable and very practical to implement. From the very moment you take charge of your life and move towards a positive change, I assure you, you will start feeling and seeing magnificent results materialize. Never mind how many people are doing it, little by little there will be more joining, and this will gradually take us one step closer to the critical mass of living in bliss and light. To learn more on Reiki, about the World Reiki Project, and the special Reiki packages, you can visit www.blissandlight.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now I leave you with this thought; the end is in fact near, but only the end of the negative cycle we are currently living. Just how great the cycle to come will be, depends on you, on me, on all of us. Be a part of the change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bliss and Light to all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;W.

The cycles that usually catch our attention and "leave the biggest marks on the world" are those related mainly to social, economic or geopolitical issues, at least this is what we perceive; these however are the direct result of a far more important type of cycle. Expanding on the prior, everything in the universe is intimately related, starting (very important) with our thoughts. The energy of thought has the capacity to change our lives, our communities, even our world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the above, when a large quantity of  a certain thought energy, for  instance, enthusiasm in Time Square on new year's eve is gathered, the quality of the energy in this space becomes synchronized and good begets good, ultimately leading to a joyous event, and that moment and space are full of positive energy, creating a sense of wellness for most everyone present. Even those who do not actively feel it, are in fact benefiting from it. On the other hand, the opposite is also true. If critical mass is established deriving from negative thoughts or energy, a cycle of unpleasant circumstances will initiate and become manifest. At this point I'm hoping, there is at least a little "WOW factor" going through your mind ...if not, don't worry, we'll get to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's consider the following, the cycle humanity is living at present all over the world, is the direct result of the energy we put out there over time. We reached a critical mass of this negative energy, sadly we were unaware it was building up, and now it hit all our lives with the force of a train running out of control. You might ask, what can we do? There are definitely positive options, however I feel it's also important to mention what you should not do. This will be simple, I suggest you avoid two behaviors. First don't allow yourself to be a victim, and second don't try to blame it on someone or something ...in short, we are all responsible for these  consequences. By the same token we can all make changes which will take our lives, our communities, even the world into a positive and more fulfilling cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have taken to the task of spreading positive energy in the way of Reiki, this is non denominational, and does not go against any religious belief. It is merely a practice conducted by appropriately trained individuals, whereby positive universal energy can be channeled to a person, a community, a nation, even to places, objects and animals. This energy may only be channeled with positive intentions and purposes, it can not be harmful in any way, it is very healing and the positive outcome of its use, regardless of the degree to which it is felt, will always be of great benefit. Without doubt this is an important first step towards the recovery we yearn in our lives, for our great country and the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have the previlage and responsibility of having been endowed with very specific knowledge which has opened a door that few have accessed, this has given me very unique resources to achieve enhanced results with this modality of energy transference and energetic healing. I have facilitated many positive changes in many lives and also have an obligation to not only continue doing so, but to actualy invest all possible effort and resources at hand to further promote it and expand its reach.&lt;br /&gt;The timelines on which this project will be taking place are very clear to me, however I cannot reveal the details yet, simply because doing so ahead of time might hinder part of the critical mass we all desire in order to rid our lives of all the negativity we have lived with, specially over this past year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the days and weeks to come, the time will be right for me to share more details regarding this inmense gift from the Universe. I am not alone in this project, despite having been entrusted with this responsibility, several individuals are working with me and I look forward to having many more join and become a part of this team ...we will be a part of the positive change to come. Additionally, I assure you that those who take an active role in this project will reap even greater rewards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bliss and Light&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;W.

Castro</title><content type='html'>Why can fear be comfortable? Have you stopped to think of this? Probably notfor it seems difficult to equate fear to comfort, even using them in the same sentence does not happen often, nor make much sense, however we human beings frequently live this dichotomy; and I'll explain why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear in and of itself is a rather uncomfortable feeling, it is a well known manifestation of insecurity, potential harm to self, loved ones, or even property. Fear whether it be sudden or chronic creates anxiety, and as you might be thinking right now, due to these and other mental processes as well as the physiologic repercussions which will stem from them, fear will inevitably have a negative impact on your life, actualy the only true benefits of fear are those directly related to the fight or flight response, a primitive reaction linked to self preservation. The problem is, we humans aside from real potential threats, tend to create imagined threats in pretty much every area of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the prior, you might wonder why I suggest fear can be comfortable and the answer is not hard to comprehend. You see, few things generate more fear in our lives than failure, and that is at any level. On the other hand, individuals as a defense mechanism try to find answers that can potentially justify their failings or short comings, additionally accountability is something we all dread. Accepting being accountable is probably the single most difficult area in which to attain maturity... regardless of age.&lt;br /&gt;It so happens that fear frequently serves as an emotional cloak behind which we can "safely hide", being afraid lends itself to creating a sense of empathy and even sympathy from others to ourselves, which in turn facilitates that others may overlook or at the very least excuse our mistakes. So why is this so terrible? Getting off the hook, being liked, being excused, all very nice right? The answer is yes, most certainly, however allowing yourself to become a victim in life (or playing the role)  because of your fear, will unfortunately lead to a mental molding process which will end up defining your life, therefore you will have fear penetrate every area of your life the samlles crevices of your soul will become infected by fear, you will start living a state of permanent insecurity.&lt;br /&gt;You will feel great difficulty to generate forward motion, a positive outlook for anything will be difficult to come by, and eventually your overall existence will be greatly lacking in Light. Happiness and fulfillment will strongly tend to elude you, and all of this will in turn lead to more fear, creating a vicious cycle of despair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as a take home thought, please don't allow yourself to live in fear, certainly don't create it intentionally... Even less as a manipulation tool. If it knocks on your door ask yourself if it has any merit, if the answer is yes and needs to be addressed deal with the issue at hand, face life and its challenges, viewing them merely as oportunities to learn and grow, with perseverance and believe in yourself, you will overcome these challenges. Also accept accountability and move forward to enjoy life in a fearless, responsible and happy manner. One last thing, please bear in mind... fearless does not mean reckless.

Castro&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living in constant Vata vitiation, or as I call it... Vatafication, has led the west to a serious crisis, with deep roots in our health, overall wellness, and also in our success as individuals and as a community. Reason for which there is a great deal of lacking in our sense of fulfillment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is evident that without emotional balance, an individual can not be considered healthy. Ayurveda describes Vata vitiation from a psychological perspective in a manner that relates to what western societies describe as emotional imbalances. Our western society lives immersed in, first of all what we call information overload. Secondly, we tend to validate our human worth by our material possession, a far cry from true value and worth. Our constant pursuit of financial stability, not bad in and of itself, has in fact morphed into a pursuit of fulfillment through material gratifiers, not aware most of us that true gratification and fulfillment come from within the individual and require little if any monetary resources. It is my intention to address in this paper how this Vatafication of our society has led to a serious decline in overall health and wellness, to the extent where it should be considered a public health issue; not to mention a grave economic problem, given the expenditures incurred each year in treating mental and emotional health conditions. It is of relevance to mention that aside from the financial burden of treating these conditions, most available western treatments are plagued with very undesirable side effects, they also induce an unnatural and unhealthy existence in their recipients. Therefore despite being necessary at times, the long term use of such substances should be avoided. Bringing balance back to individual's life and to communities and society as a whole, should substantially diminish the need for such medications, this will in turn lead to a healthier more fulfilled society, much like we were fifty years ago. Ayurveda without a doubt provides healthy lifestyle alternatives for achieving these goals, both from a preventive and a therapeutic perspective. Since money and financial stability also play an important role in everyone's life I will briefly address the emotionally healthy way to deal with money. With an Ayurvedic perspective in mind, money is merely, beyond the tangible object we refer to as money, a form of energy in the universe; as with any other type of energy for example food or nuclear, the intention and manner in which it is utilized will in fact define it's quality, in other words it will make it good or bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a a valuable resource in Ayurveda for restoring this lost balance. Through healthy lifestyle programs, and particularly through energy healing with Reiki. With Reiki restoring balance to an individuals life or even an entire community or country, Vata can be brought back into balance, in fact it is a wounderful start to balance all three doshas. With this initial step, the groundwork is laid to start a healing process which will eventtually lead to efficient wellness, success and fulfillment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7038484484998514594-8851316651804283512?l=blissandlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blissandlight.blogspot.com/feeds/8851316651804283512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blissandlight.blogspot.com/2011/07/healing-energy-for-wellness-success-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7038484484998514594/posts/default/8851316651804283512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7038484484998514594/posts/default/8851316651804283512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blissandlight.blogspot.com/2011/07/healing-energy-for-wellness-success-and.html' title='Healing energy for wellness, success and fulfillment'/><author><name>Bliss and Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10788103488756365219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='15' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mn8csNppl4w/ThyWuypd7JI/AAAAAAAAAAc/8LKC0yci588/s220/Logo_Final_Bliss%2526Light_jpg.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038484484998514594.post-2386725859635232006</id><published>2011-07-14T13:56:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-14T13:56:04.308-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fulfillment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bliss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reiki'/><title type='text'>Bliss and Light... with you in mind</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;Bliss and Light was developed with the idea that wellness, happiness, financial stability and fulfillment are not mere luxuries reserved for a few, they are in a sense human rights. We are all capable of opening our door to an amazing life... It's up to you to move forward in this path. Our approach to a better life is strongly based on several time proven philosophies. As you get to know them, you realize how they all interact and in fact intertwine, despite their apparent dissimilarities. At Bliss and Light we want to share this wealth of knowledge with you, along with the secrets to a better life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Have you stopped to think how things materialize in people's lives? It's in fact rather simple, yet frequently difficult to attain. Let us explain, everything that materializes in anyone's life starts with an idea, which in turn progresses to a desire, this must be followed by assertive action... Keeping in line with tradition, let's call it work. This work must be performed with passion, with love, and dedication as you seek to reach your goal and fulfill your desires, this is the easy part. Now to the difficult one... Or let's call it the challenging part. The biggest challenge we face to overcome any obstacle in life, is believing it can be done, therefore we must keep in mind that in fact the greates obstacle we all face is ourselves, our doubts and fears, both those created by us (the vast majority), and those thrown at us by other... Remember you're not alone in this doubt riddled existence, everyone has their own doubts, their own fears, and in turn pass them on to others without realizing how harmful this can be, more so when in fact they think they are being helpful by saving you from calamity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;So here are two basic rules for success and fulfillment, first don't invest time and energy in things that keep you from working at your dreams and goals. Second, without being hurtful don't engage in what others tell you... Go through with your plan, if the result is different than expected, it is never a failure, it is merely an opportunity to learn and grow, which in turn puts you closer to your goals, and in turn to success and fulfillment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;So take action, move forward and stay positive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Bliss and Light to all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7038484484998514594-2386725859635232006?l=blissandlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blissandlight.blogspot.com/feeds/2386725859635232006/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blissandlight.blogspot.com/2011/07/bliss-and-light-with-you-in-mind.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7038484484998514594/posts/default/2386725859635232006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7038484484998514594/posts/default/2386725859635232006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blissandlight.blogspot.com/2011/07/bliss-and-light-with-you-in-mind.html' title='Bliss and Light... with you in mind'/><author><name>Bliss and Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10788103488756365219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='15' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mn8csNppl4w/ThyWuypd7JI/AAAAAAAAAAc/8LKC0yci588/s220/Logo_Final_Bliss%2526Light_jpg.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
