In knowing yourself and recognizing your own talents, you learn to recognize and accept your neighbor’s.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Conversely, sharing one’s talent and gaining a perspective from the responses of others, is what we use to judge our own success.  These responses become part our life experience and can be used as one’s talent is practiced, applied and most importantly tested.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Talent sets standards and opens the mind to new possibilities by demonstrating that there are no boundaries to the attainable which is determined only by the human imagination.  In the final analysis, it is important to provide examples for those who do not believe they have a talent, a natural ability, or for those who have to work doubly hard to perform well.  Remember, a talent shared is an inspiration to all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today we pay homage to talent in many ways.  We give Nobels, Oscars, Tonys, Grammys, Pulitzers and countless others.  This endless process, however, has had the effect of clouding the public’s view of talent and achievement by focusing on personal gain and glory.  Today, those in the limelight are beginning to see the reasons for sharing their talents which lies in the using and sharing these gifts with those less fortunate than we are and for preserving our planet.  The world would be a sadder and more ignorant place if the great scientific and artistic minds had not shared the products of their talents.  It’s now this generation’s turn to do good for others on a large or small scale whatever is possible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I believe each individual with a talent, regardless of what it is, has the responsibility to share that talent on whatever level and spread it where it can make a difference.  In our personal lives, worth can be measured only by answering two questions:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1) Did we develop our talent to the utmost?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2) Was our talent shared with others?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5333909215883838615-8864792461052540170?l=lydiaclar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/8864792461052540170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/8864792461052540170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lydiaclar.blogspot.com/2009/07/talent.html' title='Talent'/><author><name>Lydia Clar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04862184186111217745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333909215883838615.post-7943886905723966726</id><published>2009-07-13T13:11:00.016-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-13T17:36:02.135-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Book, Meditation Tapes &amp; CDs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dO1wuYaGt1c/Sl4k3nGzylI/AAAAAAAAAAk/LYKjRk78kBg/s1600-h/book.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358761144426416722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 213px; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dO1wuYaGt1c/Sl4k3nGzylI/AAAAAAAAAAk/LYKjRk78kBg/s320/book.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lydia's new book, "Out of Darkness, Into Light" is now available for purchase online at the following e-tailers: Please press one of the links below:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://iuniverse.com/"&gt;iUniverse.com&lt;/a&gt; Publisher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,51,153); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Darkness-into-Light-Lydia-Clar/dp/1440147779/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1247683583&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Darkness-into-Light-Lydia-Clar/dp/1440147779/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1250873391&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Barnes &amp;amp; Noble&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://infinitequest.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://infinitequest.com/"&gt;InfiniteQuest.com&lt;/a&gt; John Edward Site&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,51,153); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,51,153); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dO1wuYaGt1c/SltrKKEWI6I/AAAAAAAAAAU/yHt7EpZgzCc/s1600-h/lydia-cds.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357994003932783522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 164px; HEIGHT: 90px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dO1wuYaGt1c/SltrKKEWI6I/AAAAAAAAAAU/yHt7EpZgzCc/s320/lydia-cds.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The "Out of Darkness Into Light—7 Day Psychic Development Meditation Program" is now available for purchase.

We are becoming more interested in the available alternative methods.  (some are free of charge, as in meditation.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I will use Meditation as the first example.  It has been proven that meditating lowers blood pressure and eliminates stress.  Stop and consider what happens when you meditate.  Your mind becomes still – hence your body becomes very still and the heart rate lowers.  The lowering of your heart rate allows your body to relax, which in turn helps to control stress.  This relaxation and stress control allows your body to use its own regenerative powers to restore itself.  You can do this on your own, in your own home or join a group.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many hospitals are finally putting together programs of self help to cure diseases.  South Miami Hospital’s Behavioral Medicine Program lets you challenge your disease.  For the moment, let’s take the word the word “DIS-EASE” which describes a situation that is not at ease.  Stated another way, it is something which is not flowing smoothly (or healthy).  Therefore, in associating it to the body, “DIS-EASE” means a body out of sync, not operating properly – which in turn causes the illness and generally attacks the weakest point in the body.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On October 19, 1994 South Miami Hospital’s Education Center staff held a meeting which was open to the public “TAKE COMMAND OF YOUR DISEASE,” was the slogan which advertised this conference.  They continued the ad by promoting their Behavioral Medicine Program in the following manner:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“If you have a chronic disease or if you provide care for someone who does, you are probably aware of the powerful link between mind and body.  Through a wide variety of therapies, South Miami Hospital’s Behavioral Medicine Program can help you challenge your disease.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now you can experience the power of these therapies first hand – at no charge.  Our staff psychotherapists will show how some of these therapies can help you battle diseases such as cancer or heart disease.  Besides learning about individual and group sessions, you can participate in small group demonstrations of art therapy, movement therapy, expressive writing, massage and yoga, if you choose.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a prime example of holistic healing – a healing of the mind, body and spirit at one time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Centers for new age therapies are springing up all over.  These centers focus on healing through meditation by focusing through to the various centers (or organs) within the body and willing the body to regenerate and heal itself by forming a picture in the mind of a perfectly healthy organ or person.  Some centers offer professional psychologists, doctors, nurses, acupuncturists and aromatologists to name a few who offer their services in all kinds of healing techniques; oriental Chinese medicine and herbalists, yoga, acupuncture, reike, step aerobics, etc. Today, Duke University offers degrees in Alternative Medicine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Homeopathy  comes from the Greek words “homeo” meaning similar and “pathos” meaning disease or suffering.  Homeopathy is a natural medical science that offers unique advantages.  It treats illness by the stimulation of the body’s own healing response.  The medicines are prepared from natural substances and the low dosage guarantees absence of toxicity and side effect.  Individuals are involved as a whole.  Symptoms and signs from the body, mind and spirit are regarded when deciding on which medicine to choose.  Therefore, homeopathy provides an individually prescribed treatment for the patient.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Acupuncture   is another form of ancient healing (approximately 4,000 years old) which is becoming more and more available and popular today.  Acupuncture originated in the Far East and has been in constant use for centuries.  Western medicine has started using the method within the last 15 years or so.  Some medical plans are now reimbursing patients for use of acupuncture therapy.  The procedure is not painful and very effective.  It consists of placing hair-thin wire needles on pressure points.  When the wires are removed, the pressure is removed and the area restores itself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I once took a fall on ice which had accumulated after a very heavy snow storm.  As a result of the fall I was diagnosed with a herniated disk and two bulging disks which in turn affected the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back all the way down the leg.  I was hospitalized for a month and none of the conventional medical treatments worked.  Finally out of desperation, I went to a doctor who specialized in sports medicine and acupuncture.  He had learned the procedure from a Chinese doctor in Taiwan.  At that point, I practically crawled into his office, but I was willing to try anything.  On the first visit and after the first treatment, I walked out under my own steam.  Although I still had pain, I felt as if a miracle had occurred.  I have read that in some countries it is used in place of anesthesia in performing surgery.  Acupuncture leaves no side effects like traditional anesthesia does.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Magnets   In the September 21, 1991 issue of the WALL STREET JOURNAL, a Pennsylvania company claimed that their magnetic device would provide miraculous results if a magnet was clamped on to a strategic spot like the water pipes of a house (to produce softer, magnetized water), or the fuel line of a car in order to get higher gas mileage, and yet again to a bottle of wine in order to improve the taste.  The gist of this article was that the company was being sued by the Attorney General of the State of Wisconsin to stop the company from doing business in their state, until it could prove its advertising claims.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today magnetic products or magnetic “wellness” products are being sold widely.  What are they and what do they do?  Again, magnets have been used for centuries and research about magnetic healing is available from libraries and other sources worldwide.  No one can guarantee the successful use of magnets in healing or controlling pain, however, we can judge by the tremendous results and success stories covering many types of applications.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Magnets energize the body’s systems and promote a general feeling of wellness.  Since we have a great deal of iron and other metals in our bloodstream and since magnets can draw this iron, the placing of a magnet or magnetic product to the affected area, increases circulation of the blood to the area. Energizing it and making it feel well.  The products have to be used for a time.  Some people report results sooner than others.  They are non-toxic and non-invasive and can generally be used by anyone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today, we are beginning to rely more and more on older, non-traditional forms of healing – from holistic healing to natural herbs (homeopathic medicine readily available today in drug stores – side by side to prescription drug therapies), meditation, acupuncture, reiki and magnetic wellness products.  These remedies were used widely in the past and seem to be resurrected into the present.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As our world comes full circle, we need to examine our lives and visualize a way to heal ourselves and our world.  We need to heal our planet and all the people who inhabit it.  If we learn to tune in and flow with the magnetic energy that flows around us, we can learn to live in harmony and establish peace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5333909215883838615-922388991135407104?l=lydiaclar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/922388991135407104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/922388991135407104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lydiaclar.blogspot.com/2009/07/healing.html' title='Healing'/><author><name>Lydia Clar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04862184186111217745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333909215883838615.post-5421139985835365971</id><published>2009-07-12T11:58:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-12-05T10:50:52.335-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Psychometry</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Before I go further it is necessary to understand that all people and objects give off an energy (like an aura).   While auras are not the subject under discussion, it is necessary to explain that this energy is held together by an electro-magnetic field force.  This force also gives off signals which can reflect the mental or physical state of the individual or the object being used in the reading.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;How To Develop&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To be a successful psychometrist, one must develop a delicate sense of touch so as to be able to distinguish between various vibrations and sensations resulting from the impressions being transmitted by the item.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The best way to do this is PRACTICE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;a)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Get a number of small articles&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;b)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Handle these items a couple of times a week&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;c)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Go into a meditative state holding the article&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;d)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Learn the items by heart, close your eyes and experience the sensations or vibrations being given off by the item.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For example, a piece of gold ore may have come from a specific country or place.  You may start seeing that source.  A piece of cloth, if imported, may also give off its source.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bear in mind that many textile workers or tradesmen, when buying a particular cloth or fabric, w ill take a piece between their fingers and rub it…..they can tell the quality of the merchandise by what they are feeling with the tips of their fingers --  PSYCHOMETRY.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Professionals such as surgeons, watchmakers, engravers, artists, hairdressers all have a highly developed sense of touch.  Most, however, take it for granted never realizing how highly developed their sense of touch is.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blind people are a prime example of how psychometry works.  Their sense of touch is so highly developed.  The sightless can get an impression of a person by touching his or her face.  They get impressions of objects or equipment by feeling them.  This force lives with and within them.  Ray Charles, Jose Feliciano, Stevie Wonder – have become famous despite blindness.  But, for every one of these celebrities there are thousands of other sightless people who not only function but achieve comparable success in lesser known fields.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Once you learn to analyze your feelings with regard to the different objects, you begin to learn the reason for the feeling and not the effect.  Almost anything can be psychometrized.  If you fail to receive any influences you must persevere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;If you cannot feel any vibration in your hand, you must put the object close to the center of your forehead and concentrate for a few minutes.  You will soon be able to perceive various influences.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is best to take particular notice of anything you do not understand.  Study it very carefully and compare it with other influences.  Focus on the unusual.  The key most probably lies in the relationship of the new feeling to a more familiar one.  For instance, if you are holding an item that belonged to someone who has passed on, it’s very possible to get a mental image of the person who wore it or is being read.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4)&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;You should set aside a special time and the sitting should last about one hour.  Be very quiet, grasp any article in a gentle manner and let the sensations travel to your brain via your nervous system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;REMEMBER:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rule #1&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Always give out your first impression.  It will generally be correct.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rule #2&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;You must speak out and not be afraid of any influence.  The more you tell, the more successful you become at it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rule #3&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Don not keep anything back – give it as you see or sense it.  Mention any influences you perceive, whether you feel it will hurt the sitter’s feelings or not.  You don’t have to be rude, just honest.  In doing so, you may be able to alert the person of a calamity or of an opportunity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5333909215883838615-5421139985835365971?l=lydiaclar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/5421139985835365971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/5421139985835365971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lydiaclar.blogspot.com/2009/07/psychometry.html' title='Psychometry'/><author><name>Lydia Clar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04862184186111217745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333909215883838615.post-7146400526210795956</id><published>2009-07-12T11:52:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-12T11:55:26.293-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Spirituality</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;At the beginning of every year we make resolutions to resolve or achieve goals that will change our lives in some way.  I say you don’t have to wait for a new year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unfortunately, at this time in our country, lives are being impacted by the economic conditions that we are all facing.  People are losing jobs, their homes, etc.  You may also notice that a lot of people are moving, changing or searching for new jobs which will strategically change their life patterns.  It is a time of reorganization and new beginnings.  On a personal level, it’s time to put away that which is no longer useful and bring in that which will be productive, long lasting and which will bring fulfillment into our lives and the lives of those around us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On a global level, it is also time for us to see what we can do to alleviate the suffering of others both in our own country and overseas.  Take into consideration how much you have and notice how little some others have.  It is a time for good causes, helping our neighbors and uplifting the lives of others in the best way that we can.  Sometimes that just means patience and understanding with those around us.  Other times it means volunteering time, a talent or just an effort to alleviate suffering.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How many times have you said “I would like to volunteer to do” or “I want to make a difference”?  Now step back and think - - how many times have you actually followed through with the thought?  Now is the time to do it!   It’s time to go back to our basic human values where neighbors help neighbors, for active participation in causes to alleviate the hunger in our own neighborhoods and our own country.  Volunteer to do those things which you are capable of doing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The children of this world are in need of many things – some for food, proper housing, medicines and the right to live like decent human beings.  Those in our own country need guidance as well!   Our children have been brought up in an age of violence.  Violence breeds violence.  I don’t know who first spoke those words but they were very prophetic!  It is, therefore, the time for us to assess the world that shaped them and try to bring in changes that will steer our children in the right direction.  Our children live in an era of electronics – movies, television, computers, cd’s, dvd’s, vcr’s, cell phones, etc., and a lot of this media is slanted towards violence.  While I believe that all of these new methods of communication are the future of our developing world, we should use these tools to educate not destroy.  It is time to take a stand, to re-evaluate and steer our children towards understanding that they need to work for what they get, and that nothing is free.  The work ethic has to be re-introduced so that our youth don’t feel that they are ENTITLED to anything they want.  They have to learn to work and achieve and not take anything for granted.   We should also strive to bring them towards better morals and move them in the direction of PEACE.  It has escalated to a very big job, but it’s time we took notice and took action.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is now a time for greater spirituality.  More and more people are turning towards the pursuit of religious beliefs.  It doesn’t matter which one, as long as we do.   It is a time to seek light and understanding.  To quote a sentence that appeared in the Miami Herald, “Life is fluid like the rhythm of water”.  Life flows with the changes we make and with the spirit that guides each of us.  Make a resolution to start a new beginning in your life’s flow!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5333909215883838615-7146400526210795956?l=lydiaclar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/7146400526210795956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/7146400526210795956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lydiaclar.blogspot.com/2009/07/spirituality.html' title='Spirituality'/><author><name>Lydia Clar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04862184186111217745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333909215883838615.post-5251942876817606338</id><published>2009-07-10T08:51:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-13T20:42:11.008-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Lydia's Biography</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dO1wuYaGt1c/SlvUWDb2-KI/AAAAAAAAAAc/dbyvbok9XkE/s1600-h/lydia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 219px; height: 271px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dO1wuYaGt1c/SlvUWDb2-KI/AAAAAAAAAAc/dbyvbok9XkE/s320/lydia.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358109657031702690" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lydia Clar is an internationally known psychic medium, counselor, educator and author.  As a child, Lydia repressed her abilities – like so many children do when they realize they are “different”.  When her mother took her to a psychic at age 18, it awakened Lydia’s need to connect.  But it was a trip to Europe, where she met with famed British psychic Ena Twigg and visited The College of Psychic Studies in London that changed her life.  She came back to New York and attended training sessions in psychic development, psychometry, numerology, tarot, yoga, etc. with various teachers of the Inner Vision School.  In addition to frequent appearances on television and radio programs, Lydia has worked as a professional psychic counselor for 35 years, with special focus on recognizing and encouraging psychic talents in others.  She is responsible for setting John Edward on his own metaphysical path.  Lydia devotes much of her time to teaching psychic awareness and spiritual development through classes and workshops.  She believes that no one can, or should, tell another person what to do with their life.  It is, however, helpful if a person can be given a broader perspective on which to base a decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently she published a book, Out of Darkness Into Light, outlining her own spiritual journey into the spirit world.  This book can be purchased through Amazon.com, Barnes &amp;amp; Nobel and many other local bookstores.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5333909215883838615-5251942876817606338?l=lydiaclar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/5251942876817606338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5333909215883838615/posts/default/5251942876817606338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lydiaclar.blogspot.com/2009/07/lydias-biography.html' title='Lydia&apos;s Biography'/><author><name>Lydia Clar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04862184186111217745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dO1wuYaGt1c/SlvUWDb2-KI/AAAAAAAAAAc/dbyvbok9XkE/s72-c/lydia.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
