Blog postThe principle of chaos
Original Aramaic Bible
If you read the original Aramaic Bible you get the following verse:
‘The Earth was chaos and empty and darkness on the faces of the depths and the Spirit of God hovered on the faces of the waters’.
If you consider this more deeply, you will see that chaos is defined as the original, swirling, unstructured mass of energy that existed before the act of creation. In this, as well2 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postLevels of consciousness
Everything seems to point to the fact that the universe is geared towards growth and the expansion of our consciousness usually takes place naturally due to learning through trial and error and growth opportunities such as mentorship and formal training. However, this can take forever, or may never happen at all. As metaphysicians, we know that the process can be speeded up by conscious living
and metaphysical practices.

Blog post‘Reptilian-people’
I always first look for natural, scientific explanations to solving problems, and as a result, do not personally subscribe to the idea of a hostile, reptilian race living amongst us. I think that this is more likely a phenomenon resulting from the power of our minds to translate impressions into images (synesthesia).
What is happening here is that believers in this theory have their minds already primed for synesthesia an1 month ago Read more -

Blog postWorking with your Archetypes and the Shadow-Self
Dr. Jimmy Henderson
I think the shadow-self can be described in a number of ways by people who have different approaches to life, for example, you may well find other explanations for the shadow-self in science, religion or spiritualism. The approach I personally like to use in my books and articles is psycho-spirituality, in which I use psychology to try to explain what are essentially, metaphysical or spiritual truths.2 years ago Read more -

Meditation
Meditation lowers our brainwave activity so that our mental chatter subsides, and we are better able to relax. This means that we learn to lower our brainwave activity to the Alpha state of 8-12 cps, and later to the Theta state of 4-7 cps. This allows us to bypass our normal thinking and opens the doors to our s2 years ago Read more -

Improve Your Counseling Skills With "A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling"
Now an Amazon Bestseller!
The second book in the Improve your essential skills series.
A short guide with a structured, systematic approach to counselling, including tips to help you make the most of each session.
For free material on the counselling process and other helpful topics, please visit: www.jimmyhendersonarticles.blogspot.com
Most counsellor training courses don't include some of the important aspects of counselling, such as non-verbal communication. However, research shows that only 7% of what we say is verbal. That leaves a 93% gap in what we understand when someone communicates with us. A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling looks to fill that gap and equip counsellors, nurses, teachers, parents and other caregivers with the necessary skills to improve communication during counselling sessions.
Many novice counsellors get completely lost, or so entangled in the process, that it becomes difficult for them to focus entirely on the client and to skillfully provide counsel. The author believes that part of this is due to the fact that many courses are unstructured, specifically when it comes to specific outcomes.
In A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling, Jimmy Henderson has created a structured system, providing information in recognisable, progressive stages.
Both face-to-face and telephone counsellors will find A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling a helpful tool in counselling for general and specific outcomes. Using this guide as a tool will help improve your counselling skills.
- A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling is a structured, systematic approach to in-person and telephonic counselling.
- A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling contains visual scenarios to demonstrate how skills are applied in practice.
- A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling will show you how to follow a specific counselling pattern, based on observable outcomes.
- A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling will ensure that you no longer get lost in the process.
Whether you are a qualified counsellor, teacher, nurse, parent or any other type of caregiver, you will find the approach in A comprehensive Guide to Crisis Counselling easy-to-use, constructive and effective. Get your copy today!

Find Life's Biggest Answers in Jimmy Henderson's In Search of the Oracle
Find Your Truth, Purpose and Anchor in Life
In his latest work, In Search of the Oracle, Jimmy Henderson introduces the idea of a higher self or soul in man. An insightful read for scholars and seekers alike, it offers a technique of accessing the vast reservoir of knowledge and revelation present at that level of mind and spirit of every living being.
The book deals with topical subject matter in a society where we are constantly encouraged to find ourselves and to live our purpose. In Search of the Oracle can help you find the answers to the burning questions you might be asking if you're lost, or if you're searching for your truth.
Written in a metaphoric, narrative style, In Search of the Oracle can be compared to ‘The Pilgrims Progress’, in which a student embarks on a journey of self-discovery up a mountain to find his inner self, which assumes the role of an old man, an oracle of great knowledge.
Yet, at the same time, In Search of the Oracle is different to other books on the topic. It contains deep and unique insights, which the author personally received during deep meditation. Shared in a prose-like style, the book also contains a commentary to help explain and simplify the revelations. These elements are combined and embodied within an easy-to-read, interesting narrative.
- In Search of the Oracle is free from dogma and encourages both freedom of thought and religion.
- It is easy to read and contains a commentary.
- It is the ideal book to add to your library if you're searching for your truth.
An accomplished author, Jimmy Henderson has received critical acclaim for his work on In Search of the Oracle, which was first published in 2002:

New Reasons to Stop Living on the Edge of Darkness
Journey with Jimmy Henderson as he discovers darkness, light and the shadows in between.
What is life? What is your purpose? Who are you, really?
These are some of the questions that we ponder every day. But in this age of access to enormous amounts of information, those questions that matter most tend to be illusive. They require deeper insight and Jimmy Henderson's latest publication, Living on the Edge of Darkness provides that.
The ’Edge of Darkness’ in the title is explained as that level of shadowy existence in which we, as human beings, now find ourselves, a world of error and confusion, often marked by irrational and violent behaviour. A world in which the light of reason seems to have faded, plunging us into the shadows, the outer limits of creation where a constant clash between the forces of light and darkness is taking place.
Living on the Edge of Darkness provides a glance into the mind of someone who has suffered from depression.
It also highlights the journey of self-discovery of the author, in which he wrestled with many questions such as ‘Who am I really?'; 'What is actually going on in the world?'; 'What is real?, and 'What is the true meaning of suffering, life and death?'
Are you searching for meaning in your life? Are you on a path of self-discovery or trying to cope with depression?
Living on the Edge of Darkness offers a fresh new perspective on discord, evil and suffering, using a metaphor of light and darkness and introduces the 'shadows', metaphoric entities which embody the state of irrationality and delusion. It describes deep insights gained by the author in a prose-like form and commentaries which explain and simplify the more difficult concepts.
Though a psychological read, the book:
� deals with complex questions on life, death , evil and suffering in an simple manner using metaphors.
� relays a subject matter that is topical in a society where many people lose their way, or suffer from depression and need guidance.
� provides guidelines for coping with depression and for emerging into the 'light' of a new understanding.
Living on the Edge of Darkness is Jimmy Henderson's latest guide based on his own personal experiences, as well as his professional experience in counselling depression sufferers.
Don't stay alone in the dark. Let Living on the Edge of Darkness be your guide to move towards the light. Buy your copy right now!
The content of the guide is based on current research as well as years of couples-counselling experience and also provides simple and practical examples so that the reader can view and understand the real issues within practical, real-life contexts.
