7 Laws of Well-being
Coming soon: the 7 Laws of Well-being e-Course …
In this e-Course the author Anita Revel will be sharing with you her personal experience of how her baby revealed the seven laws of well-being. She became open to these messages because the pregnancy brought with it a heightened awareness and connection to her body and intuition, thereby making her an open receptor to the lessons baby had in store for her. Not just for pregnant women, the over-riding lessons learned at each stage apply to all women and men.
The seven laws of well-being are physical, transitional, personal, emotional, creative, mental and spiritual, and can be defined in short as:
- Physical Well-being: feeling strong, balanced, nurtured, fit and vibrant celebrates her physical body and her connection to Earth,family and humanity
- Transitional Well-being: being able to cope with change and evolution. is comfortable with infinite abundance,emotional flow and creative freedom
- Personal Well-being: having boundaries and an acute sense of Self. is proud of her Self and her actions in all her aspects – light and shadow, public and private
- Emotional Well-being: being open to relationships based on mutual respect, truth, warmth and admiration. fosters mutually fulfilling relationships at all levels – professional, personal, intimate, familial
- Creative Well-Being: being able to express oneself clearly, creatively, free from conditioning and fear. speaks her truth with diplomacy and shares her learnings with grace
- Mental Well-being: being free of toxicity, trust in one’s own wisdom and capability, … clearly knows what is right for her,and acts in honour of her innate wisdom and intuition
- Spiritual Well-being: revellng in the connection with hte divine; iwth the essence that makes joy possible. revels in her divine purpose/work with gratitude, dignity and joy
During each journey on the e-Course you will be asked to pay attention to a state of well-being.

7 Laws of Love
The 7 Spiritual Laws of Love
adapted from Kama Sutra, by Deepak Chopra
Within every love story hides the wooing of the gods and goddesses. This is one area of life where the practical meets the mythical. For many people the experience of romantic love is their first experience of spirituality, although they may not know it.
The First Stage of Love: Attraction
The Law of Attraction states, “To be attractive, you have to be authentic.” What makes a person attractive? The wisdom traditions tell us that attraction first and foremost comes from naturalness. Nothing is more beautiful than naturalness.
The Second Stage of Love: Infatuation
This law states that infatuation exists to open the door to a deeper, transcendent reality. Infatuation happens when the attraction between two people is so intense that it transports them beyond ordinary perception and the ordinary world becomes enchanted.
The Third Stage of Love: Communion
The Law of Communion says that communion is contact of soul with soul. Communion is the sharing of spirit. Therefore, communion is the basis of trust. In this stage, lovers move into territory of the unknown, taking from each other what they did not possess alone.
The Fourth Stage of Love: Intimacy
The law of Intimacy states that in true intimacy flesh merges with flesh, and spirit with spirit. In intimacy, sexual energy and spiritual energy are recognized as one. Sexual energy is seen as the creative energy of the universe.
The Fifth Stage of Love: Surrender and Non-Attachment
The Law of Surrender says that losing yourself in another person is the best way to find your true self. Surrender is the result of relinquishing the ego’s last claims to separation. Surrender and non- attachment open the door to the miraculous, because miracles exist outside the realm of I, me, and mine.
The Sixth Stage of Love: Passion
The Law of Passion says that higher reality is experienced in the merging of the masculine and the feminine in one’s own being. Passion for life and passion in love are the same thing. This is because life, in its essence, is love.
The Seventh Stage of Love: Ecstasy
The Law of Ecstasy says that ecstasy is our original state. This is where we come from, the Garden of Eden, the state of grace to which we shall one day return. Ecstasy is the final stage of intimacy with spirit that flows through love.

Connect With Spirit
Spirit Guides – How to Connect and Communicate With Them
By Alison Yates
What are Spirit Guides?
Many people believe that everyone has a Spirit Guide (or Guides) – entities that come from the Spirit world, who you can contact and communicate with, and who are ready and willing to help and assist you as you walk the Earth.
They are believed to be loved ones who have passed, ancient ancestral spirits, or even spirits from the Angelic Realm, and are assigned at birth to protect and support us.
Your Spirit Guides have learned many lessons and may well have also crossed your path on Earth in past lives. They know you very well, your strengths and weaknesses, and your abilities and your hopes and fears – and they know your destiny.
Your Spirit Guides are always willing to help and support you, but will not interfere in your life without a specific invitation.
Connecting with your Spirit Guides
Simple meditation is recognised as the best way to contact your personal Spirit Guides. Meditation is simply the process of calming your thoughts, slowing down, and focusing on a particular outcome or particular thing.
Spending fifteen minutes a day stilling your mind will be beneficial not only for contacting your personal Spirit Guides, but it will help you relax and enable you to reach some inner peace and calm that most of us have forgotten.
Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Try to make it a special place and a special time in your day. To create a pleasing ambience, pull the shades or dim the lights, play some soft music, light candles and incense sticks.
To help increase awareness of your personal Spirit Guides and shift attention away from the Earthly Plane, we will create a special place in your mind where you can meet them.
Relax in a comfortable chair, close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Every time you exhale, feel the stresses and worries of the day leave your body with every breath. Notice the sinking feeling when you breath out, and use this as a vehicle to allow you to let go and relax even more.
Imagine now a woodland path, bathed in mottled sunlight that filters through the leafy branches above. The air is warm and a soft breeze wafts the fresh smell of scented flowers over you. This can be a place in your imagination, or a real place you have visited.
Walk now along the well-worn path and come to a clearing in the woods. The clearing is bathed in a strong light, like a sunbeam. Enter the light.
This will be your sacred space and when you come here you will feel protected, safe and comfortable. This is a special place where the spiritual world meets the physical world – a place you have created with the power of your imagination.
Notice that the light you stand in is made up of the rainbow spectrum, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
For each colour in turn, look at it directly as it falls at your feet. Sense it. Tap into its meaning. Remember what you see, what you hear, what you feel, what you smell. Look at the colour very carefully.
Do this for each colour and then move your focus to the final colour, Violet.
Now see a distant figure walking towards you. They will ask if they can enter the light to be with you. Here will be your personal Spirit Guide.
You can now ask questions. But don’t be disappointed if you receive no answers. Answers may come to you later, and often when you are not expecting them.
Rather than hearing something, you might get a feeling or a sensation of something. This will be the beginning for you. They may present you with a gift, or may speak to you by answering a question you have posed, or just some words of comfort or inspiration. If this is the first time of meeting, they may tell you their name. You may recognise this name, or not.
Practice connecting to your Spirit Guides at least once per day. Soon it will become easier for you, and like second nature.
When you are ready to leave, thank your Spirit Guide. Open your eyes and spend a few moments relaxed, and get acclimatised once more to the Earthly realm.

What Do You See When You Look at Yourself in the Mirror?
By Preiti Juuneja
Do you see a critical and lamenting person looking at you? Or do you see a loving and compassionate ‘You’ in your eyes? Okay, so you say, you don’t see either of them. Every morning you brush your teeth, men shave their beard while women put on their make-up, get ready… in front of a mirror! Do you know that you do all of this without ever really Seeing Yourself?
When I first started doing Affirmations about 4 years ago, I heard of a powerful technique of doing them in front of a mirror. Phewww… the mere thought of talking to myself in front of the mirror used to freak me out.
“You look awful.” “You stink”. You don’t know how to dress up.” These are the voices I used to hear popping out of everywhere when I’d look into my yes.
“How could a person who as a child was bombarded with criticism most of the time, muster the courage to see anything good about herself in the mirror?” said my course instructor at my certification course on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
There…my tryst with Mirror Work began!
Looking into my eyes in front of a mirror, I began talking to myself. Yeah… it looked funny, sounded weird, and felt scary!
“I love you. I really really love you.” Saying these two lines were the most difficult than anything else. Why? Why is it so difficult for us to say that we love ourselves?
Although as a child, we all do talk to ourselves… in our minds, or saying it aloud… well… some do it in front of the mirror making all those funny faces when no one is watching us! What about Winston Churchill who used to practice his speech in front of a mirror. Well, there were few among successful speakers and leaders who knew this secret of using the mirror as a tool to influence their thoughts, feelings and become a person their audiences wanted them to be.
What was their secret?
They knew how to connect with that ‘child’ inside of them who is pure and honest and will give it back to them if they ever lie!
Did you know there is a 3 year old child within each one of us?
I began to talk to this child within me every single day, nourishing this child, telling her how wonderful and capable she is.
Within 3 months of doing my affirmations in front of the mirror, I began to feel different about myself.
And about 6 months later, I remember, when my ex-trainees and ex-colleagues organized a get-together and hesitatingly invited me knowing how busy I used to be with work and only work back then.
I was pleased to be invited there….and the moment I reached I was showered with compliments …”Oh My God. Preiti you look 10 years younger than your actual age.” “Preiti, there’s something quite magnetic about you now. What have you been doing? “
I knew within what was working for me …for the first time in my life I felt connected with the Divine. I knew that I had found a treasure after all!
To my trainees and coachees, however, this doesn’t seem like a treasure when at first I share it with them. For all they see this as a fathomless, funny exercise.
I witnessed the unending struggle and sheer amount of pain he had to go through when I handed the mirror to one of my coachees in a session and have him say “I love you and accept you as you are.”
For 5-6 consecutive times he couldn’t go beyond “I love…” …” I love….” And he would put the mirror away after that.
That 3 year old child within him was so angry and resentful that all these years he had not given that child all the love the child deserves! How could he expect the child to accept love so easily now?
However, with support and persistence he was able to affirm love to himself in the mirror, at least 2-3 times in the session. This was an excellent beginning for him!!
With regular practice of doing Mirror Work at home, he began feeling from being uncomfortable to feeling lighter and at ease with himself and others too, both at home and work.
“My relationship with my son has improved now. We talk and laugh together at things. At work, I get compliments more often now.” He reported back after a few weeks.
Remember, the most important relationship you have is the one with yourself! You can nurture this relationship with this powerful technique and you will see all the other relationships being taken care of.
Here’s the thing… When we look deep into our eyes and say our Affirmations, we connect with that Power within us – which is Divine, Supreme and Pure. At that moment, these affirmation do not remain as mere words, instead they get charged with our feelings that we generate. And research has shown long ago that it is ‘feelings’ that are a powerful force that carry energy and thus vibrations. These vibrations go into the Subconscious Mind and from the Subconscious to the Unconscious Mind where they become a belief or attitude or habits. And we Attract in our lives what we Believe in.
Brhadaranyaka Upanishad of the 1.4.10 of the Yajur Veda says ‘Aham Brahamsi’ which means ‘I am the creator’ . This mahavakya or great saying is the basis of Law of Attraction. Where ‘I’ means the Self. You have the power to create anything you want.
So when You are the creator, with a simple tool like Mirror Affirmations you can get into a daily self-cleansing practice of your subconscious mind, and thus create whatever you want to in your life!
But for that you will have face the mirror!
What is holding you from facing ‘Yourself’ in the mirror?
What would you want to create for yourself?

Winds of Fortune
Are You Following the Winds of Fortune?
By Carole Hodges
Last Sunday I stood on a bluff in Santa Monica overlooking the ocean. A dozen sailboats spread across the horizon, enjoying a beautiful Southern California day.
Although it’s been years since I sailed, it’s something you don’t forget. Each sailing trip is unique. One time I floated along, almost dozing, as the boat lapped through the water. Another trip, I negotiated 20 foot waves for hours to keep the boat upright. Even when you check the weather in advance there are no guarantees for smooth sailing.
Life is like that too. Unpredictable. Buffeted by the changing winds of circumstance, we are all captains of our own ship. I offer a few things I have learned from sailing as ways to cross your own outrageous sea.
You set the course, no matter which way the wind blows. Sailing is an art – feeling the pulse of the wind, setting the sails to capture the gusts and move the boat forward. It is your determination and direction that takes you forward. The very force of the wind against you drives you to your goal. Navigating your business plan may be no less challenging. Successful people feel the pull of their heart and the whispers of intuition.
You set your own course.
It’s rare that you move in a straight line. Be willing to change course frequently. Life is just like that – port and then starboard, and back again. Keep a taut sail, but be willing to change direction. Be aware of the horizon and your goals at all times. Otherwise the changing winds and tides can confuse you.
Expect change and adjust.
Be careful of the lull. As you tack from one side to another there is a momentary place where the sails flap, noisy and seemingly out of control. It can be a frightening moment of indecision and doubt. In that moment you decide the next turn. It may be the moment you decide whether to leave a marriage, or start a new business, or move to a new community. There is no right answer.
The only danger is stopping in the middle. You must move forward and fill your sails. The lull of self-doubt is natural. Welcome it as a sign that you are changing. Welcome it as the progress that it truly demonstrates. And move on.
Self-doubt happens when you are changing, keep moving.
If you persist you’ll get there. The timing isn’t up to you. Winds and waves have their own rhythm. You can steer and set the sails. Then be patient and enjoy the ride. Keep your eye on the compass and move toward your goal.
You will reach your goals, at exactly the right time for you.
When the wind is pushing you forward, enjoy. Then, to sail beyond your wildest imagination – make the extra effort to put up your spinnaker.
When you have been grinding hard to move upwind, it is natural to take it easy and relax when the wind is behind you. It takes a little extra effort to pull out the spinnaker. Yet it you have ever seen a boat being pulled along by the half balloon at its bow, you can understand the sheer exuberance of a winner. Take the extra step.
Celebrate at the top of your game, rejoice and dance through the waves, spinnaker flying.
Step back from the daily grind and feel the wind in your face. Look up and keep your goals in sight. You are the captain of your ship. Glad to come aboard and share the journey!

Law of Attraction and Love – How Not to Use the Laws of Attraction For Love and What to Do Instead!
Are you looking to use the law of attraction love principle to attract the people, or person into your life that you know that you truly deserve?
If so then you’re not alone, because so many people want to use the laws of attraction in this way.
But the sad part is so many people are getting it dead wrong.
Are you Messing the Law of Attraction for Love?
So you may be messing up your chances to utilize the law of attraction and not even know it. The law of attraction isn’t as easy as most will have you think it is.
Here’s why!
You’ve got a constant battle in your mind, and it’s hard to get past the mental battles and well…habits…that have been holding you back for years and years.
How I Learned the Hard Way Not to Use the Law of Attraction and Love
When I first started learning to use the law of attraction and the principals of it, I was doing it wrong and could not understand what the heck I was doing wrong. It was very frustrating.
I was using affirmations, and doing all of those things like that most people have learned in books like “The Secret” and other books that have caught onto the bandwagon. But I didn’t feel bad when I learned the right way and found out that almost everyone was doing the same things wrong.
What Was I Doing Wrong?
I was focusing the opposite way that I should have been. So in other words when I was having problems with some of the people in my life, including girlfriend at the time, I kept thinking about all of the things that these people were doing wrong that I didn’t like.
I wanted to change how I was treated, and basically the kind of people that I kept ending up with. It was so annoying.
For instance I had a string of girlfriends who were continuously nagging me. I just kept over and over finding these nagging girls. Oh it was horrible. And then on the co-worker front, I kept ending up with the co-workers that were just annoying. The ones that talked about everyone, the one’s that would throw me under the bus, even when I thought they were my friends! That sort of thing…
I kept thinking about how annoying these people were, and how terrible it was that I was always with the nagging girls. I would obsess about finding a girl that didn’t nag. So basically I was obsessing about nagging. Guess what I was attracting into my life…
That’s right, nag happy girls! And for the co-workers, guess what I was thinking about. I was thinking about how much I didn’t want these types of co-workers as friends and so I just pulling these people in like magnets.
One Important Way the Law of Attraction, Love, and Friendship Works…
You see the law of attraction actually works no matter what, much like gravity. But if you’re not using it in a way that it will benefit you then it’s going to work in a way that’s not right for you. It’s still working, but it’s just not giving you the result that you want.
So you have to watch what you think about because that resonates into the universe and comes right back at you and smacks you right in the face. So instead of thinking about all of the things that you don’t want when it comes to love and friendship, instead think of all of the traits that you want people in your life to have, and great those traits make you feel. It also helps to become that person that you want to attract.
But I’m afraid that it’s not as simple as just this. You’ve been only getting the half truth in movies like the secret. The above works and works well, but there’s actually more to it.
You see I kept wondering why the heck things weren’t really starting to flow toward me.
So, I gave up for a while, started looking for more law of attraction love tips.
I was looking for the magic bullet. Here’s my story of how I actually found that magic bullet. Click here now!
