BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

From: UNTIL TODAY by Iyanla VanZandt (with some edits by me) " I will know love when I realize... relationships never die. They change! "Some people stay in unsatisfying relationships just to be able to say they stayed. At times we stay simply because we are tired of walking away. Or we may stay for the "bragging rights," to be able to say, "I did my best! I tried really hard! I gave all I had to give!" Or we may stay hoping against hope that things will get better, that we will one day get what we believe we have given. Sometimes we stay just to prove we can stay. The question is, what are you really proving? "As children, we learn how to take a spanking. We learn how to run. How to hide. How to duck, dodge, and cover the various parts of our bodies to avoid the pain of a spanking. If we are lucky, we eventually master just what to do and how to do it to lessen the blows. The question is, what do you say about yourself when you show tha

Ask Dr. Hecht from: NY DAILY NEWS Q: What can you tell us about polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)? Is it treatable? Is it curable? Why does it cause infertility? W.W., Hawkinsville, Ga. A: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of female infertility, affecting up to 10% of all premenopausal women. After over seven decades of study, we're still not sure what causes it to occur. While it's a well-known cause for infertility in women, it can also be responsible for irregular menstrual periods; high blood pressure; acne; borderline-diabetes; excess facial and body hair; male-pattern baldness in a woman, and midsection obesity. A key part of the problem in PCOS is male hormone overproduction. You may be overweight, have diabetes and high blood pressure and unknowingly have had PCOS for years. During the normal maturation process of a woman's egg, the egg develops within a fluid-filled cyst inside the ovary. Each month in normal ovulation, hormones trigger

Who Am I? On the race of life, as we run to meet our obligations, take care of the kids, make the boss happy, make ourselves happy, it is quite easy to overlook the presence of the Light of the Creator in every moment. It is easy to overlook the miracle called LIFE. Have you ever stared at yourself in the mirror or awoken in the middle of the night, and asked, 'Who am I?” Generally this question also surfaces while meditating, or in times of extreme stress. Whenever it happens, these are the moments to understand your Creator and the role you play in the grand scheme of things. In Kabbalah, God is comprehended as the awesome energy that created the universe and everything in it. The words we use to describe this energy are Light, Light of the Creator and Light Force of the Creator. Due to our limited, rational minds, these tend to become empty terms. The minute we read them, a mental image forms in our minds, something external from us (for many it is an old man wi

Is my destiny written in stone? Ultimately yes. Within the illusion of time, no. Every decision you have ever made, has already been made a long time ago, back before time began. However, within the illusion of time you seem to be making them now. Ultimately, you have made all decisions, but within time, you can still change your mind therefore changing your destiny. But it is an illusion of changing your destiny because your destiny has already been written. It is a seeming paradox. But within time, every moment, you are making decisions which are altering every possibility that could ever exist and these decisions are basically this, are you choosing to be in the present moment, or are you living in dreams of the past or the future. http://www.thedailyguru.com/

What is pleasure? There are two types of pleasure. The first type feels like pleasure, but is really pain. It is like a beautifully wrapped chocolate, but when you bite into it, the package is full of nails. This is the pleasure you normally experience in this world but it cannot exist without its opposite, which is pain. Because it is not real, it needs an opposite to validate its existence. It is an illusion. All illusions have an opposite. The mind needs a reference point. When the mind creates false pleasure, it must also create pain at the same time, but will project this out at a later date, so you cannot see the connection. The other pleasure, which we normally do not experience, is our natural birthright. It is within us all the time. It has been called the Kingdom Of Heaven. It doesnt need any type of external stimulus, it just is. We need do nothing. Because this type of pleasure is real, it does not have an opposite. The only way to access it is through pe

Pisces 2005 Horoscope As the New Year arrives, Pisces, you'll be quite intent on making a name for yourself within a group situation. You'll do a fine job of it, and you'll be remembered for some time to come for your efforts. During January, you'll be focused on joint financial situations and intimate relationships, all of which will work out quite well as long as you're not afraid to ask for -- and take -- the advice of an elder. The new Moon in your own sign on March 10th will call your attention to your physical self -- and while you in particular should never ignore your emotions, you might want to pay attention to the outer you, just for a while. During spring, and most especially in April, monetary changes could be en route. Does that mean you'll be pinching pennies? Not at all. In fact, if you're smart about it, you may have more money to spend frivolously than you've had in some time. After the 15th of April, thanks to Venus i

Can you please predict my future? If you don’t change yourself today, you will get tomorrow, much more of the same that you got yesterday. The future for most people is usually a reflection of what they got in the past, albeit in another form. To change the future, you must change yourself in the present moment. It is in the present moment that all change occurs. You can eliminate all your past sin in a single instant. Just one single decision made in the present moment is enough to erase your whole past, allowing you to escape all future consequences of your past karma. http://www.thedailyguru.com/
