Q.How can I help my body integrate light/energy during and after meditation? Often during meditation I receive light downloads in thru the crown and third eye centers, I breathe bringing the energy downward thru each chakra and into the earth. Afterwards I experience physical discomfort in my sinus areas or a little sick in my tummy, dizzy and so forth. And it can last a few days, I love my meditations, however I also love feeling good! What advice can you share? – Veronica    A. There are a plethora of different meditations that you can do and I’d suggest that perhaps the one that you are choosing to do may not be the right one for you anymore. Our bodies have tremendous wisdom and will let us know if something is working for us or not. Just like when we eat something that isn’t good for our system it will signal us by making us feel uneasy, perhaps even sick. When we shifting the light in our bodies we often have times where our form may feel uneasy however days...

The Real Cost of Additional Baggage

November 9. 2015 | by Brook Still | A-Ha! Moments, Featured Articles[ssba title="The Real Cost of Additional Baggage" url="https://creationcenter.org/the-real-cost-of-additional-baggage/"]

I just had a fabulous moment of complete irritation and outright fury. This is rare for me. And though I'm sure my voice was steady and that I was staying externally calm so as not to terrify the ticket agents at the counter (corporate policy is not something they control), all 5 of them looked rather panicked. Why the rage you may ask? It was due to my being told that my extra bag of luggage was going to cost me $400 each way, from Japan to Kuala Lumpur and back again. My round-trip ticket only cost $522. So, I asked to buy a second seat, which magically now cost $900 US, and so my most economical bet was the $800. Presently sitting on the plane, after paying my additional baggage fees and due to communication challenges barely making my flight; I am calm and able to sit with this from a much more heart-centered space. First I blessed the counter people for having to deal with these types of situations all the time, as I know customer service is...

What is Real – Really?

September 3. 2015 | by Brook Still | A-Ha! Moments, Featured Articles[ssba title="What is Real – Really?" url="https://creationcenter.org/what-is-real-really/"]

As I head off today for our Expanding Your Awareness retreat, I'd like to leave you with a little thought to ponder. "Life is Suffering" is the Buddha’s simple way of stating that the agitated mind creates suffering and since we all experience this, so is life. To learn to move beyond the mind is to understand that this world is an illusion. Ask yourself, is the drama I'm buying into, that I feel is real, is it really? Or is it another distraction, my mind has created, to keep me separate from being at Peace? Have I created this to deny myself the freedom to forgive and love myself and everyone else around me? Even deeper, is there anything to even...

Changing Concepts of God

August 20. 2015 | by Brook Still | Ask Brook, Featured Articles[ssba title="Changing Concepts of God" url="https://creationcenter.org/changing-concepts-of-god/"]

Q. How has your concept of God or Spirit changed from childhood to now? Peggy – California   A. I was given the opportunity to see God from several world religious views growing up and my primary indoctrination was Christianity.  So, my concept of God looked a bit like this: God was an omnipotent force of Grace and Love, AND you better be good, because if you’re not he’d kick into bi-polar mode and your ass would be toast. This obviously created a bit of fear and confusion in me.  The only thing that kept me from becoming paranoid that God was watching for my mistakes all the time, and that I might be damned to hell for not getting my homework done on time, was my relationship with Jesus.  Best part of Christianity ever, my relationship with Jesus was awesome!  It was how I was taught to connect with him that was my saving grace so to say.  He always had my back.  He was the ultimate super soul defense attorney that not only ran the gambit to save me,...

Healing Relationships with the Energy of this New Moon

August 14. 2015 | by Brook Still | A-Ha! Moments, Featured Articles[ssba title="Healing Relationships with the Energy of this New Moon" url="https://creationcenter.org/healing-relationships-with-the-energy-of-this-new-moon/"]

This month we are in the middle of the Venus Retrograde and our New Moon is in Leo. A very simple breakdown of the energy of this is that when we move into a Venus Retrograde it generally refers to a fated period around our love lives where we may relive past life experiences in order to sort out karmic issues. In this retrograde we are in the energy of Leo and this gives us the opportunity to do this as a Soul from really being aware of how we’ve created these experiences through our personalities. It is huge to stay in alignment during this time to do the best work possible on healing these pieces for yourself and those you love so as not to fall into the trap of feeling victimized or beating yourself up for having been the aggressor in your relationships. I love that the Perseids meteor shower took place yesterday morning to herald in the energy for today. This shower originates from a place called the radiant in the constellation of Perseus and most particles...

Increasing Your Abilities As a Healer

Q.How can I trust that what I am doing as a healer is right for the people I am working on, how do I know if it will work? - Annie, Malaysia   A. Annie, thank you for writing. You wrote a lot of things down and in looking at your letter the basic question I was able to get out of it was what is written above. I can see you’re going through a phase, which so many of us healers go through, and I share this with the intention that it helps you move through this with more grace. For many healing practitioners, we start with one modality, think its great, start our work in bliss, and have our first few clients, and things are going great. We’re happy, they’re happy, the results look good, and then it stops being as effective, or we get new people in that this particular tool doesn’t work for. This is the point when we will start judging ourselves. There are two things people usually do at this stage; give up, or...

The Sweetness of Devotion

July 22. 2015 | by Brook Still | A-Ha! Moments, Featured Articles[ssba title="The Sweetness of Devotion" url="https://creationcenter.org/the-sweetness-of-devotion/"]

Devotion or what is often referred to as Bhakti yoga is exquisite.  Knowing how to fully balance it in a healthy way as you awaken and keep it from moving into a state of unhealthy fanaticism can be challenging for many.  Look at how many people started with that gorgeous energy of love and devotion and became confused in it and even caused harm to others in the name of their devotion.  A perfect example of this would be around Jesus’ teaching which were based in love in action, not domination and harming others and how many have twisted these and started wars in his name.  In my own years of having devotion vibrating within me and shifting it to a purer place, I can offer a simple teaching from the space I now hold which is significantly more balanced.  Hopefully this may save you a few years of spiritual R&D (Research & Development). For balanced Bhakti we go into devotion to that which will liberate us.  We turn away from the me, the little “i”, the base of our...

Q. I am someone who is extremely empathic and take in the emotions of others which overwhelm my body.
