Stress & Living Better

Last updated on: July 9, 2021 at 7:33 am By Pamala Oslie

A lecturer discussing stress raised a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is this glass of water?” The answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, ”The actual weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” And that’s the way it is with stress. “If we carry our issues all the time, sooner or later, as the burden of them becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.” “As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on again.” “So, before you go to sleep tonight, put your challenges from the day aside. Don’t carry them through the night. You can pick them up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying, let them go for now.” Life is greater and more than our “challenges.” If you can let go – even for a moment – “like” this and then let’s all have an awesome today and tomorrow!

Challenges and When to Let Go

Last updated on: June 16, 2021 at 12:06 pm By Pamala Oslie

How do you know that you have the best partner for you? How do you know if you’re giving up on someone too soon and are running away from a potentially great relationship? Or how do you know if you’ve worked on your relationship long enough and it’s time to let it go? The answer is always: Be still and go deep inside yourself; listen to your own inner voice. Ask yourself these questions: Does your partner exhibit behaviors that... Read more

Reincarnation & Plays

Last updated on: April 30, 2021 at 9:43 am By Pamala Oslie

Imagine that you’re in a play – and all the people in the play are playing different characters. You connect with each other in the play – interacting and playing roles with a certain plot and storyline. Then when the play is over, you go backstage for a while, hang out with the other actors – which now have become good friends because you’ve all been performing in the play together. Then you decide to do another play. So you... Read more

Desire Does Not Cause Suffering

Last updated on: April 23, 2021 at 8:02 am By Pamala Oslie

Desire does not cause suffering. Desire inspires you to create new things and new experiences, which is expansive. It’s the belief that you can’t have what you desire that causes suffering. …Let go of that belief. Remember that thing you were really upset about 3 years ago? …No? …Hm…So maybe we don’t need to get super upset over what’s happening today since we’re discovering these things pass? …Or we can experience the emotional upset intensely today and then let it...

About Your Aura

Last updated on: March 17, 2021 at 7:59 am By Pamala Oslie

Throughout the ages artists have depicted the aura as a halo or glowing light that appears around the heads or bodies of highly evolved spiritual masters and saints. Apparently, the aura colors around these beings were so clear and so powerful that others could easily see, feel, or sense them. Recently, the aura has been scientifically detected through Kirilian photography and other electronic equipment. You have many different bands of color in your aura. The outer bands in your aura...

The Ego

Last updated on: March 5, 2021 at 9:02 am By Pamala Oslie

The ego was created to perceive and interact with the “physical” world – just like the eye was created to help us perceive and navigate the physical world. Neither the eye nor the ego is bad. They just have limited perception. If we relied on our eye to give us a complete version of reality, we would be in trouble. Your eye doesn’t see the truck that your ear can hear coming up behind you, or smell the smoke from... Read more
