The most recent NexusEQ Conference included delegates from over 100 disciplines and 37 nations gathered in Holland to see how emotional intelligence improves leadership. On EQ.org, more and more practitioners are appearing from all over the world. Google News has stories about EQ every day. It all goes to show that emotional Intelligence is of interest to a wide and growing audience. But what do we mean by "emotional intelligence" -- is it just a nice way of talking about concepts that have been popular for decades? Or is there really a new concept to explore? Part of the vision of these world conferences is to find a shared understanding, a common vision, which is challenging in an emerging science...

How pure our spirit is. How clean and beautiful beyond our imagination it is. The glory and the power we have within are unfathomable. The majesty each soul on earth walks with is seen only through the inner eyes of love.The height of our awareness of the spirit within us is equal to our awareness of the spirit in another.

In the past year, I have heard a lot of people complain to me that they have taken yoga with bad experiences. They got injured during the class or received no benefit because they could not follow the instructor. This experience left them with not only an injury, but a bad impression of the benefit of yoga.Yoga was invented to help everyone, no matter what their physical ailments are. The word yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning joining. It was developed to join the body, mind and spirit of an individual into an integrated human being. When we are integrated, we are more able to interface with the outside world. We become more harmonious and more effective in all of our interactions. Our...

It is not the events of life, but the meaning that we attach to these events, that brings either pleasure or suffering. And that meaning is driven by our deepest fears and desires. We suffer whenever life seems to be in conflict with these desires. How do we turn this around? If we want this suffering to end, we need to move our perspective out of identification with our human personality with its ego-based thinking mind and toward identification with our true nature as souls. For emotional suffering to end, we need to turn inward toward the Source of our being, where happiness is independent of external things. Indian teacher Ramesh Balsekar stated this process eloquently in A Net of Jewels, where...

Immediately after the 9-11 terrorist attacks in America, my office was deluged with requests for spiritual commentary from journals, web-sites, and individuals.Whilst many spiritual leaders did speak out, especially in America, I found myself unable to make a meaningful public statement. The world froze in horror, as the TV networks endlessly re-played a shaky movie of planes crashing into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center - the terrifying images indelibly etched upon the global psyche.My immediate concerns were for the spirit-souls of the recent victims, who not realising that they were dead, frenziedly sought for their physical bodies. When the disorientation and shock from the blasts wore...

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. The Chinese philosopher, Confucius explains an explicit expression of a diamond. Beauty, purity, durability and undying value, all elucidate the magnificent. Diamond studded jewelry express sentiments. Thus, diamond ornaments are considered hearty presents for special occasions. When comprehending the origin of diamond, India reminds us about the valuable. Around three thousand years ago, when discovered, diamonds were believed to have magical powers.

A while back I was driving along the Jerusalem highway scanning the radio stations. On one frequency, a very intense dance beat was exploding out of the speakers. I was about to move the dial some more in search of a Jewish tune when the vocalist started in. Shock of shocks, he was a heavily Hassidic singer, complete with eastern European pronunciation. And what was he singing? "Kumee oy'ree ki va oy-reich.." from 16th century Rabbi Shlomo Alkavetz' classic Sabbath poem, L'cha Dodi. Before he had began his rendition I had been expecting something like "Oh baby, the way you move with me ..."!I had to ask the old question, "Is this good for the Jews?" And I had to give the old answer, "Does hair grow...

The Aura may be defined as 'a subtle invisible essence or fluid said to emanate from human and animal bodies, and even from things; a psychic electro-vital, electro-mental effluvium, partaking of both mind and body, hence the atmosphere surrounding a person.' The Aura is usually seen as a luminous atmosphere around all living things, including what we regard as inanimate matter.

It is an excellent healing process which unleashes all the blocks and unwanted energy and lets the required energy flow in its own pace throughout the body and heals. Valentine Greatrakes, a native of Ireland, used magnetic...

Word has it plans have been changed this year for the guest invites at Sandringham Castle. The Queen I believe after reading a recent article in the daily paper has banned Florence Princess Anne's English bull terrier from the royal residence. Florence is to sleep outside in a parked up vehicle with Anne's other pet dog of the same breed called Lottie.The ban was ordered by the Queen due to the traumatic experience that left HRH saddened and in mourning for her beloved pet corgi Pharos who was merciless attacked two years ago by Florence. So savage was the attack the small dog had to be put down because of the severity of injuries sustained.Earlier in the year the queen gave amnesty to the princess...

Many years ago, when I was living in circumstances not quite like today, I invented something in the spur of the moment which is fascinating and has significantly improved my life.It actually started four months earlier, for my birthday in fact.I had wanted to buy something very esoteric for me - a personal development tape set about wealth and success; but it was massively expensive and although my husband didn't exactly beat me with sticks on a daily basis, there would have been NO WAY I would have been "given permission" to buy this with the meagre family funds.This sort of thing was held to be "stupid" and "pointless" and "a waste of money", and there wasn't anyone at all in my life at that time...

Many manufacturers use the Thin Film Transistor (TFT) technology to improve colour screens they provide to consumers.In a TFT screen an extra matrix of transistors are connected to a LCD panel. These transistors drive the pixels removing ghosting and slow response speed that has affect previous pc monitor displays of days gone by.The liquid crystal elements of each pixel are arranged so that in their normal state (with no voltage applied) the light coming through the passive filter is polarized so as to pass through the screen. When a voltage is applied the liquid crystal elements twist up to ninety degrees in reference to the voltage, changing their polarization and blocking the light's path...

It's magnificent color, its rarity, durability or those virtues associated with this gem? Well, all these qualities, considered together, ascribe a stone the status of a precious gemstone.

Many people who live in Ireland did not know Ireland had crown jewels. This is partly because Ireland is a democracy with a president as the head of state and partly because the last King of Ireland dates back to the 12th Century before the British invaded Ireland. The other reason for lack of knowledge about these jewels is because the Jewels were stolen in 1907.The Irish Crown Jewels are not the Irish equivalent of the English Crown Jewels which are held in the Tower of London, but were the insignia of the Order of St Patrick which was a chivalric order founded by the government in 1783. The Jewels were presented to the Order of St Patrick by King William IV in 1831. It is widely understood that...

Last week, I reported how writers, stay-at-home parents and online marketing geeks had chosen careers as hermits: of work-from-home hermits responded, confessing that they were wearing their pajamas while reading my column. Fortunately very few sent me photos. Here are some of the questions they asked:Q: Is it acceptable to wear pajamas at high noon if Nobody sees me, or am I committing a fashion faux-pas.A: It is totally acceptable to wear pajamas at high noon. You can even wear them at low noon. In fact, you can wear them all day long. The only exception is in England you must not wear pajamas at tea time. Pajamas and tea don't mix. The combination can be lethal. (See the November 2002 report...
