Carnival of Healing #163 : Just About Everything

It is with great pleasure that I host the carnival of Healing #163. The Carnival is a weekly round-up of personal blog posts on the topics of holistic health, wellness, spirituality, and self-empowerment.It is managed by About.com's Guide to Holistic Healing, Phylameana Iila Desy.

Whenever I feel negative or depressed, I get a lot of inspiration from the affirmations, articles, and valuable advice posted at the Holistic Healing of About.com by Phylameana lila Desy. I feel there are a lot of people like me who could benefit from the information and advice present there.

I begin the Carnival with a poem that has inspired me always.This poem is by Rabindranath Tagore who was a Bengali poet.He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.This poem is from Gitanjali (Offering of Songs, published in English in (1910)

Where The Mind is Without Fear
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
--Rabindranath Tagore

To me this prayer is as relevant today as it was when it was published. The poem asks us to not limit ourselves to what we think is 'possible' but to go beyond and achieve even more.

With this thought, here is a collection of blogs and articles. I hope you have as much pleasure going through these as I did.These articles have suggestions and insights in making your dreams come true, achieving the impossible, and dreaming big.
