Wisdom From The World

Nature surrounds, sustains and supports us.  It shares wisdom with us through plants and animals.  Some have noted that the dragonfly, with its iridescent body and wings, is a symbol of change, transformation, adaptability and self-realization. It is a symbol of happiness, new beginnings and love.  In times like these, we could all use a bit of hope and encouragement.

Miracles

Do you believe in miracles?  Dr. John Chirban, psychologist and theologian at Harvard Medical School present one school of thought about the psychology of miracles. He quotes a number of researchers who have scientifically documented miraculous healings that have taken place in a variety of faith traditions and settings.

Several authors document how the immune system and mind effect healing and health, related to belief and perception.

Advances in neuroscience reveal how healing changes occur and affect enhanced functioning in the brain through meditation, mindfulness and prayer. 

More and more scientific investigations confirm the significance of spirituality for our well being; deepening our awareness to our spiritual nature invites a deepening awareness to our life.
