By Ray Richmond
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead" is a six-part reality series about a woman who saw a market niche -- no women on TV taking meetings with dead people -- and decided to fill it.

What's striking at the outset is how there is virtually no discussion of why Williams does what she does in her day job, where she acquired this skill and, most importantly, if the deceased respond better to someone sporting a British accent (my guess: no). But the spare presentation seems to presume that we're now so indoctrinated with this genre that we require no trappings or even explanation. Like John Edward and James Van Praagh before her, Williams grapples as much with credibility issues as she does giving closure to traumatized survivors. Indeed, even more than did her predecessors, she pretty much seems to make it up as she goes along.

Skeptics may view a show like this as an acting gig for the crossover spirit communicator who presides. Williams is likable enough: a young wife and mother with a zaftig physique, punked-out tri-color hair and an unassuming, lively personality. There's no intro or narrator to be found on the DVD supplied for review, and it was shot on film to give it a more artsy look. Not that it much matters, of course. It comes to us from the production stable of Merv Griffin, which presumably means that if this gig doesn't work out, Williams might have a shot at being a substitute letter-turner on "Wheel of Fortune."

The conceit is that we're watching a typical day in Williams' life, riding shotgun as she drives to her next deceased connection/deconstruction and then arrives home to her mortal hubby and son, chatting offhandedly between visions of dead people. At least Williams doesn't go in for the whole, "I'm seeing an R. . . . No? Um . . . What about a V? . . . Was there someone named Victor? Valerie? Vonda? Vern?"

We see Williams talking to a tearful young widow of an Iraq War soldier who died in battle, who -- as if on cue -- admits: "I wasn't expecting this to be real, I thought it would be a hoax. But I was wrong!" This begs the question: If you thought it was crap going in, why would you want to be a party to it in a TV show? Therein lies the secret to the de facto legitimizing of such a sham science: People want for it so badly to be real that they will it to be so.

The absurdity of the enterprise is underscored by an opening gambit that finds Williams approaching two random young men on Hollywood Boulevard and immediately feeling their losses, communicating with the spirit world as if it's a spigot that can be turned on and off at will.

"Life Among the Dead" closes with Williams visiting a tavern where a murder once took place and has purportedly been haunted ever since. She cops a freaked-out stance, irritated that she's being hassled by this one bastard dead guy and thus vowing never to return. Yet you'd figure that Williams, more than anyone, really ought to understand that death's a bitch -- and then you live.

Technorani tag: success

By Annette Colby

If you have been reading my newsletter for awhile, you know that I embody and teach the ‘how to’ principles behind successfully achieving our goals and dreams. Nothing happens, no forward steps are taken until we first have a dream. But even when we have a dream, we can’t begin manifesting it until some important first steps are taken to lay the groundwork. To make a dream come true, what’s interesting is that we don’t have to initially know HOW we are going to do it. Instead, the first critical steps to achieving a dream are:

A clear and precise vision of the dream.

Sort of the big picture or overview of what you want.

First we conceive, then we believe.”

Being able to articulate and express the dream. In other words, it is important to know what is wanted, not just what is not wanted.

Exchanging the feelings of fear, uncertainty, failure,

or overwhelm, with ones of excitement and joy.

Creating belief in the dream.

For example, we might have the dream of permanently overcoming certain eating behaviors. Yet, until we articulate this desire and then begin regularly seeing and feeling the joy of our desired outcome, the dream remains vague and distant. If the feelings surrounding a dream are ones of apprehension, fear, overwhelm, or indecision, the dream doesn’t have a chance of developing. As long as our dream stays enveloped in a fear state, the chances of achieving it are minuscule. To make dreams come true, we must be able to visualize them, believe in what we want, and be able to generate some excitement about what we want. Dream boards are great tools that allow us to bring our dreams into reality faster!

WHAT IS A DREAM BOARD?
One simple, and powerful, way of making your dreams come true is to create a visual representation of the desired outcome. What we focus on is what we create. Dreams Boards are great tools to help us focus on the particular abundance, joy or relationship that is important. They help us see our desires vividly while stimulating the brain. A Dream Board is a visual picture of the dreams we have for our life. It’s a big colorful poster onto which we place pictures of what you want to create.

For example, if your goal is overcoming an eating disorder or losing weight, take a little time and ask yourself some meaningful questions.

What would achieving the dream mean to you and those around you?

What would the dream look?

How would life be different?

What strengths would you have?

What would achieving your goal bring into your life?

Notice what images come to mind. From these images we can begin to write down the dream or desired outcome. Remember to make it positive and in the present tense. The next step to turn those dreams into reality is to create a visual representation. Dream boards help us see the images of our success. They help us to focus on the joy of our dreams. They allow us to cultivate the excitement necessary to take the action steps that bring dreams closer to reality. The key is finding pictures that help us focus and reflect on ourselves already in possession of the desired outcomes.

WHY DO DREAM BOARDS WORK?

Have you ever heard the phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words?” Looking at the pictures which illustrates success, over and over again, will help manifest our dream. Repetition is key here. Recall all of the advertisements seen on television and in magazines. Why would a company spend millions of dollars in television advertisements to sell a .99 cent hamburger? The answer is that they spend that kind of money because it is proven that the repeated images of their hamburger will change our spending and eating behavior.

Marketing research has confirmed that people will buy just about anything if they are shown that image enough times. For one person that may be just one or two viewings. For another person, it may be one thousand repeated images. How many impressions will it take for you to achieve your dream? Viewing our Dream Boards as often as needed helps us to believe in our dream and keeps us focused on what is most important in our lives.

CREATE DREAM BOARD

Use Dream Boards with your goals to increase your success. The following are your needed tools to create your Dream Board:

1. Purchase a large poster board in whatever color you like. Also pick up a glue stick and a pair of scissors.

2. Gather an assortment of old magazines, pictures, catalogs, and snap shots.

3. Take some time and create a space where you can relax and have fun. Brew a cup of hot tea, light a candle, put on music that speaks to you. Breathe deeply, close your eyes, and imagine the dream or desired outcome you wish to achieve. Allow your senses to play with your dream.

4. Now open your eyes and begin to view the magazines. Tear out any pictures, words, phrases, and thoughts that inspire you. Don’t think about it too much. Simply go through the magazines and remove anything that grasps your attention. Pull out pictures, images, words, and phrases that excite and motivate you to reach your destiny. Along with the pictures, it also helps to add motivational statements that spell out the goals you wish for yourself.

5. Take your time. Give yourself a few hours or an evening to do this project. After you feel you’ve reached a stopping point, use the scissors and cut out the words and images.

6. After you have cut out the pictures and phrases, glue or paste them on your poster board.

7. Have fun doing it! Enjoy yourself! Let you imagination be your guide. If you really want to make this a fun experience, invite several of your closest friends over to join you in the process. You could create a Dream Board party.

8. Once your board is completed, activate your Dream Board: Place it in an area where you can look at it often for a month or two. Perhaps in your office or in your bedroom where you will view it daily. Or maybe even tack it to the ceiling above your bed. A dream board might even make a fantastic screen saver. As time passes, feel free to add to your board, or paste over what doesn’t work. Make it come alive by dwelling on it every now and then when inspired. You could make it the first thing you look at in the morning, and the last thing you view before going to sleep. As you concentrate on these visual images of what you want, add a sense of peace and joy. Smile. Inhale the sensation of you having exactly what you want. Allow your subconscious mind to help you achieve your goals.

Deconstructing My Spiritual Practice
By: Carolyn Wilson-Elliott

The question I'm always asking myself is "How do I bring my Spirituality into other areas of my life?"

The answer, I discovered, lay in my spiritual practice. Chances are if you’re reading this, you have a spiritual practice, too. It might be meditation or prayer or yoga or painting or walking. But, within that spiritual practice you’ll find clues to bring your spirituality into your workplace, family and/or community in a safe, empowering way.

You’ll find these clues by deconstructing or breaking down your spiritual practice. For example, every spiritual practice includes some kind of ritual movement, a repetitive movement that allows you to connect in with Source. This repetitive movement brings your body into a sense of well-being and deep relaxation that allows you to tap into the higher brain processes necessary for connecting to Source.

The movement might be whole-body movement like that found in yoga or T’ai Chi, or it might be a subtle movement like deep breathing. Whatever your ritual movement is, you automatically move into your body and into the present moment.

When I began looking at the amount of movement during my day, I discovered just how sedentary my life was. As a writer, I sit in front of a computer all day long. The longer I sit, the shallower my breathing becomes and the harder I have to work to even think, let alone stay in the present moment. Interruptions late in the day annoyed me and I reacted to them in not-so-loving ways.

At first, I thought I needed to add more exercise to my day, but that really didn’t help me stay present and relaxed throughout the whole day. So, I looked at my spiritual practice more closely. The amount of movement I needed to stay present and connected to Source didn’t require 30-minutes of aerobic activity. To move into that place of connectedness, all I needed to do was change my breathing, relax my body and still my mind.

My spiritual practice includes a lot of ‘play’ energy. If I find it difficult to meditate because my thoughts are whirling around, I get out my soap bubbles and start blowing. This diverts my attention away from my chaotic thoughts because the bubbles are so much fun to watch. It also changes my breathing as I exhale slowly to get the biggest bubbles I can. Just a few minutes of blowing bubbles relaxes my body and I can move easily into a meditative state.

Now, blowing soap bubbles all day long was too much even for me. However, I did start incorporating one-minute movement breaks into my day. Every hour, I stopped whatever I was working on to move my whole body for 60 seconds. To determine what kind of movement I needed, I just asked my body, ‘what do I need right now?’ And then I waited for the answer. It sometimes comes as a thought, sometimes a craving in my body. But I always get an answer.

I tend to get engrossed in my writing projects so I used a kitchen timer to remind myself to check in with my body every hour. The results were amazing! At the end of the day, I felt more energized, more creative and more connected to Source. I slept better at night and throughout the day I stayed in a more loving place, quietly welcoming interruptions as just another opportunity for movement that kept me connected to my Spiritual Nature.

It is important to create a sacred space to practice your meditation, a place in or around your home which is designated specifically for relaxation and tranquility. Though most of us do not have the luxury of creating a private meditation room, it is possible to decorate a designated area of your home to suit this purpose. It is also a simple matter to create a sort of mobile mediation kit for your self that is quite handy when traveling or in situations where space is limited.

Begin by determining which area of your home is best suited to serve as a place of meditation. Some practical considerations to think about: try to choose a room or area of your home that is quiet and comfortable, perhaps the room of your home which is farthest from street noises or other disturbances. Designating and designing your sacred space for meditation is fun and rewarding. Don’t get hung up on thinking that you need any pricey or exotic items. Have fun with it, be creative, and choose colors, textures and items which appeal to your senses.

Devote a space to the sole purpose of meditation. You may choose to decorate this area with whatever things you find relaxing and comforting. Many people are fond of creating a small alter space to hold candles and incense. A comfortable mat or blanket for sitting on is also widely used. It is more important that an area be set aside for meditation than how it is decorated or what items you use to make the space “sacred”. The space is sacred to you; it is your personal choice in how the area is created.

You may find that you do not have an appropriate place within your home for meditation. In this case it is perfectly acceptable to move your mediation routine outdoors. Designate a bag or sack for carrying your meditation supplies. Again it is more important to make the designation than the bag itself. In other words, the mental connection to the item is more impotent than the item. Saying “this bag is my meditation bag”, or “this mat is my meditation surface”, etc., the act of making the designation is what matters most.

A yoga mat or camping mat can be purchased quite easily.
Most of these mats roll up and are convenient for travel and outdoor usage. Incense, candles, cushions and other supplies can easily be stored in a bag or other container to use when needed.

Creating a sacred space is a completely personal endeavor, it does not matter what decorations or items are used, it does not matter if there are any decorations at all. It matters only that you set aside a space for meditation; it can be an empty room, a few square feet of your home or back yard. Designating a space is the important matter, the act of putting aside a space for meditation puts your mind in a state of recognizing the importance of inner calm and stillness, and it acknowledges the importance of your meditation routine.

1 - Force yourself to separate work and personal life: Social psychologists support that your ability to do a good job while at work depends on whether or not you have a home life that refreshes and restores you. If you cannot stop thinking about the projects you have to complete after leaving the office, try to create a mental filing cabinet. It would act as your actual project cabinet since you will allow yourself to sit down, open it and deal with your work worries. Then force yourself to mentally close the cabinet and do something else. You can try this on Fridays before leaving the office or each night at a certain time. The most important thing is to lock the cabinet before attempting to direct your attention to something less stressful.

2 - Avoid multitasking except while being at the office: A rather usual bad tactic today's working professionals suffer from is subconsciously taking the office habits -especially that of multitasking- home with them. It is not rare that people find themselves washing dishes or cleaning their drawers while phoning a friend or checking their mails. Living everyday in the overdrive has resulted in multitasking when one ought to relax. Although some consider this as a normal routine, our bodies do not. In order to balance work, play, and rest, try to write down five ways work blends into your free time. Then select one to focus on. If for example you tend to check your e-mails every hour while at home, cut back initially by half and then more until you get it down to once a night. By transforming mindless habits into conscious choices, you will limit your body's stress and gain control over your free time during the day or night.

3 - Socialize outside your work: To lead a more fulfilling personal life, expand your exposure to people you do not work with. Otherwise, you will constantly be pushed into the role you play while being at the office. Meet your friends, get our more often, sign up for a photography class, join the gym or volunteer your services for a cause. Meeting people and exchanging ideas is a very healthy way of finding the necessary balance within and gradually advance your abilities and social skills.

4 - Stop talking about work: People tend to develop social circles and share common experiences. When these circles are familiar or come from your work industry, try to avoid spending all your free time talking about issues that you would normally discuss during a lunch brake. Introduce new subjects and direct the conversation towards new issues of interest. Sports, arts, politics, and travel, can be very exciting subjects for your friends to dive into and by the end of the evening you will appreciate the fact that you learned something that was both entertaining and relaxing.

5 - Your home is your sanctuary: To prevent work from invading your home, create a personal project that will keep you busy but at the same time help you relax and recharge. You can gain a lot from painting, cooking a special dinner for your friends or investing time to start a home-improvement project. Invent new ways of keeping yourself active and your body and mind will thank you for having diverse interests.

Have your ever had an experience you thought was a coincidence, but a nagging feeling made you feel there was more meaning to it? Those nagging feelings may be the very seeds of your own psychic ability waiting to be cultivated.

Your psychic sense can be compared to the bubbles that surface on a quiet pond. As you quietly stare into a still pond, you will soon notice the movement of the water. When you continue to focus your attention into the small body of water, you will eventually see tiny ripples of water and small bubbles emerge from the depths of the quiet pond. That’s exactly the way your sixth sense will respond, when you pay attention to the “psychic bubbles” of insights that surface from the depths of your mind.

How can you develop your psychic ability naturally? Set aside time to do nothing but experience your senses. Absorb everything you observe or feel around you. When an image flashes into your mind or a feeling runs through your body, don’t be quick to dismiss it. Instead, allow yourself to savor it as you would a delicious dessert. If it is an image, observe the details of it but also pay attention to the way the image makes you feel. If it’s a feeling, try to make it into an image. Imagine it as a sound or a smell.

Try new activities and do old things in new ways. Loosen your focus on goals and try being flexible enough to stimulate your mind by doing something out of the ordinary. Follow your impulses and lean toward the unusual. As you do, you will be exercising your mind to function psychically.

Studies show that the brain waves of subjects change when they’re introduced to new materials or experiences. A person who is receptive to new experiences, new information, and has been exposed to unusual and varied life experiences, will find it easier to develop the ability. Therefore, act like sponge! Soak up as many experiences as possible to feed your mind the subliminal stimuli necessary to cultivate your psychic ability.

Exercise your extra-sensory mental muscle naturally with these five simple tips:

- Travel as much as possible and observe everything.
- Change your routine by driving a new way to work or in some other way.
- Try an exotic food and savor the experience.
- Talk to someone you think you have nothing in common with.
- Solve a problem by listening to a “hunch” or “gut instinct”.

Developing your psychic sense is a natural as learning how to exercise. One is for body fitness and the other is for mental fitness. Both give you the tools to reach your full potential and the ability to create an even better life than you have now. To develop your sixth sense naturally set aside time to accomplish nothing. Instead just experience the moment through your senses and become aware of everything as though you were just born.

Ever wonder why achieving personal desires and dreams can be so difficult? Dreams are all about self. Sure, other people may support us in our efforts, other people may be excited for us. But when it comes right down to it, we are the only ones who have to stick with ourselves during the entire time it takes to bring a dream into reality. It is up to us to remain steadfast in our decision that what we want is important to us. We decide to take a risk and there are no guarantees of our success. We must decide, time and time again, what we want to create is important.

Through the hardships and failed attempts, through countless times when things get complicated and overwhelming, we are the ones who must decide to find focus, passion and energy once more. Only we can find our way through the endless succession of inner doubts and exceedingly elaborate, but oh-so-legitimate sounding, excuses. We are the ones who must rise early, stay up late or quit a job to devote time to our creative process. No one will ever know just how much effort was given to find center and courage day after day. No one will understand just how much we gave of ourselves to create the dream.

Why bother? Wouldn’t it be easier to avoid the doubt and effort required to expand life? Wouldn’t it be easier to stay inside the relative safety of our inner comfort circle? Henri Bergson (French philosopher, 1859-1941) wrote, "To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly." Dreams have more to do with who we become during the process then what we achieve at the end. Following the passion and joy of manifesting dreams leads us into evolution; allows us to become more then who we were before. More open, loving, confident, peaceful, powerful and joy filled. More comfortable in our own body.

Actualizing Personal Potential
A dream must be expressed, but not so other people will offer money or love or validation. The success, money or love which may come afterward are awesome, icing on the cake, but they aren’t the primary soul motivation. The purpose is to discover how capable we are of expanding life and joy, how awesome it feels to know the power and energy of creation, and how free we are to express and expand our spirit. The outcome of dreams is secondary to the process. Pushing ourselves toward a goal does nothing to enhance joy, life energy, love and spirit. Imagination and the excited effort of the realization of the dream set us free.

With trust and love of self we determine to become pregnant with a dream, to nurture it and carry it to term, and eventually give birth. We do so, not for reasons of rebellion, anger against others or to even to prove ourselves. Not so others will pat us on the back and offer accolades. Even the creation we birth owes us nothing. It has no responsibility to give wealth, fame, fortune or happiness backs to us. We dream and create because this is how mind, body and spirit come together as one. This is how we feel good, how we are enlivened, how we fill ourselves with joy.

We are individuals come to earth to bring unique expressions to life. People often say, "But I have nothing unique to say, write, paint or express." Perhaps it is true that most things have already been expressed in one form or another. It is also true no one has ever expressed them in the way you could. Henri Matisse, often regarded as the most important French painter of the 20th century, wrote, "There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted."

Any dream requires effort and giving up something else. A dream is like a seed. For the seed to grow it takes a certain amount of energy. If energy is dispersed in a thousand different directions, there isn’t going to be enough left to nourish the seed. It takes internal commitment to have what is wanted. No, we don’t know ahead of time how it’s going to turn out. Perhaps we will succeed and perhaps we will meet with failure. We don’t know if the dream we wish to create will be supported by others, or if it will bring fame or fortune. Yet the process of awakening our dreams allows life energy to rise and passion to flow. Dreams are our great adventures into the unknown. There are no "should’s" or "have to’s." This is our chosen destination, and most likely the journey of this adventure will be a challenge.

Personal Responsibility
Each person has a responsibility to expand their spirit and to continue creating themselves. Responsibility is not an ugly word. It is not heavy and does not imply any oppressive quality. The responsibility to ourselves is all about love and lightness, all about filling our physical body with life energy and divine energy and giving birth to our dreams. Yes, action is necessary. If we want to paint a masterpiece, we are going to have to pick up the paint brushes and spend the hours paining. If we want to write a book, we are the ones who must decide to allot countless days, months or years to the process of actually writing. But with excitement, the action is fueled by the infinite, limitless power of love.

Before committing to a dream, before taking the first action step, ask the following questions: "For what purpose am I attempting to achieve this desire? What will having this bring to my life?" Go deeper than the obvious answers. Look into the depths of your inner self and search for the true meaning of this journey. What strengths will be uncovered by overcoming this particular challenge? What lies do you currently believe about yourself that facing the challenges of manifesting a dream will erase forever? George Herbert (1593-1632, British Metaphysical Poet) wrote, "Without danger you cannot get beyond danger." What is your soul’s purpose of getting beyond this danger? Are you passionate about achieving your dream and will you create your dream with love or with force? In your heart, do you know your growth lies in the journey itself, not just the outcome?

Earth is the magnificent playground where inner concepts can take tangible form. Could anything be more exciting than feeling alive and supported in the flow and creating our desires? We are creators and capable of bringing individual concepts, visions, and ideals into existence. Following through with achieving dreams is the process we engage in to teach ourselves what powerful creators we really are. We are born to join excitement and power with our dreams. We are born to feel the love of our own self here on earth.

“Think of the power that’s in the universe – moving the earth, growing the trees. That’s the same power within you, if you’ll only have the courage and the will to use it.” – from Charlie Chaplin’s movie, Limelight

How can we make the Law of Attraction work even more powerfully in our lives? How can we amp up our manifesting power? What is the magic ingredient that adds the driving force, the Big Mo, the alchemy to the attraction process? It is emotion. And the intensity of our emotion determines our power of attraction.

We activate our thoughts and give them life by adding emotion. The classic example of the power of intense emotion is the 100-pound woman who lifts a 4,000-pound car to free her child who is trapped beneath it. When we want something as unequivocally as this mother wants to save her child, our strength and ability increase exponentially and we become invincible.

Do you have any idea what a powerful being you are? Do you realize that the entire Universe is at your service? You are a Master of the Universe, fully empowered to create your life in exact accord with your thoughts and feelings. And what activates and increases your power to create? Strong desire.

You can align with the object of your desire by adding emotional power, by getting excited about it, by wanting it with passion, by getting clarity about it and offering a signal as focused as a laser beam. We attract in accordance with our vibrational alignment. To harmonize vibrationally with your desire, find the feeling place of your desire by imagining as vividly as possible that you are living your dream NOW.

As you begin to EXPECT good things, that expectation acts as a powerful attractor to bring even more good things into your life. Energize your desires by refocusing with passion, clarity and determination, by stating confidently: I am healthy! I am wealthy! Everybody loves me! I’m always so lucky! Everything comes easily to me! But most of all, declare with all your heart – I am absolutely and eternally wonderful and worthy of everything I desire.

By focusing with strong emotion, your power of attraction is amplified. Here are some great ways to energize your desires and amp up your power:

direct your thoughts with focus and clarity decide to feel good and maintain a sky high vibrationfeel appreciationmake up your mindset your intentiondream, imagine and visualizebelieve and expectinfuse your desire with passion and enthusiasm

Emotion is the magic ingredient that will make the Law of Attraction work even more powerfully in your life. Emotion in the form of strong desire gives you the power to design and create your destiny. With emotion, clarity and focus, you are a powerful magnet for attracting into your life anything and everything you desire!
