Western culture medicine seems to look at health as a competition. The unhealthy aspect of a person is something ‘other’ that is attempting to take over, modify, or destroy the person. The medical establishment is a competitor that wants to ‘win’ by stopping the ‘other’ in their tracks and restoring the patient to life. I’m…
In talking with friends and clients I’ve found that there is a disconnect in people’s meaning of the word “happy”. Some people say the word happy when they mean the sensation of being contented.

Kathy Karlander has some great advice for those just starting to work with the Akashic Records in her book Discovering the Essence of Your Soul. “Allow the information to flow into your thoughts without judgement or censoring.
