Understanding Miracles

Guest Author, January 4, 2012

In the movie "Oh, God!” the title character, played by George Burns, explains to co-star John Denver that the last miracle he performed was the 1969 Mets – the implication being that God is a kind of celestial superhero whose random interventions result in some amazing things happening here on earth. This is likely how most folks view miracles, and pretty much how they’re defined on Dictionary.com:

How Do You Find Love?

Lissa Rankin, December 11, 2011

find love

It’s not that hard to find like. Or lust. Or friendship.

But love - true, epic, lasting love, the kind of love that leads you to celebrate 50 year anniversaries - is a whole other story.

As someone with two divorces under my belt, you may be reluctant to take love advice from me, and I wouldn’t blame you! But I’m nine years into my current marriage, and things are better than ever, so maybe I’ve learned a thing or two. Take it with a grain of salt, but in case something I’ve learned resonates with you and helps you find the kind of lasting love I’ve finally found, I wanted to share it with you.

Medicine Is A Spiritual Practice

Lissa Rankin, November 20, 2011

medicine spiritual

When I went to medical school, nobody ever taught me that medicine was a spiritual practice - but it is. Or at least, in Pink Medicine, it will be.

You might not think so. After all, philosophers like Descartes have been perpetuating the notion of mind-body dualism, suggesting that body, mind, and spirit have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

In Praise Of Anger: Feel Free To Free It

Danielle LaPorte, December 15, 2010

In praise of anger

You were disrespected. Ignored, again. They outright lied; she betrayed you; he took what wasn’t his to take. Someone crossed your boundaries and drove right over your well-declared intentions.

You got screwed. And that’s a fact.

The Reward

Less than nine months ago, I wrote a blog post about death. I’d never lost anyone very close to me. I’d lost grandparents and great aunts and uncles that I didn’t know very well when I was too young to understand. I’d lost my father-in-law and, although I was distraught for a few days, it came more from realizing what my daughters would be missing instead of a personal loss for me. He lived states away and I’d never had much of an opportunity to get to know him either.

True Self-Indulgence

Joy Mazzola, June 9, 2010

The other day, Caroline, Owning Pink’s resident intuitive goddess, confirmed something that had been floating in my own head and heart for some time: that a period of unabashed self-indulgence is warranted for me in the very near future.

Power On, Carnal Spiritualistas

Simone da Rosa, June 6, 2010

Calling all fella carnal spiritualistas! My Owning Pink blog PopSmarts: Adventures in Using Your Power for Good is an ongoing experiment for me and other Pinkies who believe, want to believe or wonder whether they can be busy, crazy-sexy-cool modern women and happy and spiritually integral in our consumer culture, too. I believe in the middle way for balance in all things. I believe in embracing the paradoxes life is constructed of. This is not an egghead course, or a Fix-it program, but rather an exercise to see if we can become more awakened to our unconscious emotions through awareness and behavior choices, towards using our spirituality pragmatically. Daily.

Getting Out of the Box: Thoughts On Living An Authentic Life

Lissa Rankin, April 26, 2010

By Lissa Rankin, MD

Marla Maples and I had the most lovely chat this morning, and I have to say I totally have a crush on her now. You might know Marla as the ex-wife of tycoon Donald Trump, but I know Marla as this loving, spiritual, awakening being longing to shed the baggage of her past and serve the world with her gorgeous heart.

My heart goes out to her. Imagine living in a world that sees you not as you are, but as some artificial montage of what the media has crafted together in the tabloids. What you’ve read in the magazines is not the Marla I spoke with today. Just as my Perfect Storm lifted me into the cyclone and landed me on my spiritual path, Marla’s oh-so-public divorce catapulted her into discovering her calling- to help the world awaken and discover that we are all interconnected, that we are all One World of Love (the title song of the CD she is creating).
