Are you inspired by the great qualities such as love, compassion, peace and forgiveness that were embodied by Jesus and other great spiritual masters? Would you like to bring more of these into your own life, and be part of the general evolution of human consciousness that is taking place right now?

Many people are doing this, and you can too. Let’s take a look at Christ Consciousness and how each of us can develop it within ourselves.

What Is Christ Consciousness?

First of all, Christ Consciousness isn’t only for Christians, although Jesus was an excellent example of a person who fully embodied it (as was Buddha and other great spiritual leaders).

The term is used to refer to those qualities associated with what many see as the divine mind – that higher state of consciousness that includes attributes such as peace, truth, kindness, love and a general feeling of benevolence towards others.

Many people believe that as a species, humanity is evolving towards a higher state of consciousness where these qualities will become the norm.

The Challenges Of Developing Christ Consciousness

You can practice developing this higher state in your daily life, by being aware of your reactions and thoughts, and seeking to replace them if necessary.

For example, you can deliberately choose not to judge another who behaves in a way you dislike. You can also forgive yourself and others for perceived faults, and try to keep a general sense of positivity and love towards life and other … Continue Reading ...

Refuse to take each criticism or disagreement with others as personal attack on your integrity, productivity or reliability. Remember that criticism merely reflects another person’s personality, perspective and world view. Be prepared for resistance. Don’t expect that when you make a decision that everyone will jump on board. Even after you have decided on how to move forward with your life in terms of health, relationships and finance, you will still have people close to you letting you know that they don’t agree with you.

How can you deal with this challenge? You have to be strategic. How you respond to those who disagree with you depends on how much clarity have in terms of the problem or situation at hand. If you do things different from what others expect, they won’t be happy with you. You have to keep this in mind the opinions and thoughts of others can have a lot of impact on your self-esteem, confidence and the quality of your relationships. Criticism can lead to conflict if poorly managed.

With time, experience and research, you will realize that the problem is not so much being criticized but how to manage criticism. We have to begin this process by admitting that our feelings change when others correct us, disagree with us or point out what they consider to be our faults or short comings. This is another way of saying that our emotions or feelings get disrupted when others criticize us.

You’d love to take better care of your skin, which is starting to show signs of age (perhaps much too soon) but you’re not quite sure how to do it? Let me help you! Read on for a simple, daily routine for aging skin that can give you great results, especially if you use exceptionally good products.

If you want to improve your skin, you must make its care a daily routine. Dabbing on a bit of cream once a week just won’t help; your skin needs to be nourished daily. At best, you’ll have a morning and an evening routine, which you will follow every single day.

Morning Routine

In the morning you should cleanse your face first. You may choose to use an anti-aging facial cleanser, a simple face soap or perhaps just water, depending on your skin condition. As there is hardly any dirt on your skin after you wake up (it goes without saying that you will have removed all makeup in the evening and never sleep in your makeup!) it’s up to you how you want to cleanse your skin. If you choose to use a cleansing product, choose a gentle, natural one.

If you already have visible wrinkles around your eyes or are noticing the first fine lines there, my suggestion is that you use an eye serum with powerful anti-wrinkle properties. Our eyes are usually the place which gives our age away, as they are visible to everyone who sees us. Therefore it’s … Continue Reading ...
