A word about gemstones & pendulum's

 Gemstones and Pendulums 101

                                                           how to pick your pendulum

A simple tool used for communicating and gaining guidance from the spiritual world; pendulums can be used to find missing keys, or missing loved ones. Pendulums are one of the easiest psychic tools to use for discovering energy movement within a specific area, or to communicate with subtle psychic energies. When using a pendulum for divination it acts as a sort of antenna that magnifies energy when you ask a question.

A pendulum can be as simply as a piece of cotton attached to a 6 inch string, or as ornate as a diamond point with a polished gemstone. When you decide that you would like to explore the energy of the pendulum the following information on gemstones will help you decide which one you would benefit from the most.

     Many believe that gemstones can receive, contain and even transmit certain energies that you can tap into and even use for healing. Many who work with gemstones in metaphysical fields claim that individuals are often attracted to a certain gemstone. Practitioners believe this kind of instinct is governed by the individual's chi (energy) and serves as a barometer to pick up the kind of energy best suited for the balancing of auras and charkas. Below are some of the most popular gemstones and the common properties associated with each.

The colors of life: a study in auras

Before I begin talking about the different color’s that one can find in an aura I will give a brief discussion on what auras are.  Auras are energy in its purest form that appear around the body of a living entity and can be seen as individual colors. These colors can extend in a healthy subject at least 7 feet in any direction. Each color has its own frequency and variations within that hue. The more pronounced the color is the stronger its vibration; and one can say the healthier the organism. When a color is faded it could indicate trouble spots within the living organism.

Auras can easily be detected with computer programs, those who are sensitive to energy work, and children usually from birth to around age 5 before their mental intellect begins to form gaps in what is possible and what is not. Ever see a baby just stare at a person not looking really at the face, but just above or beyond? They are viewing the colors around the person who has entered their space. If they coo and caw with this person that means they are attracted to their energy and would feel safe and secure with that person. If however, you notice that the baby is distressed more than a bit mildly; listen to that little one there is something wrong.

I have listed a number of different colors that one may see within an aura each displays its own characteristics, but in your personal experience you may understand the qualities differently. What is important to remember is not that you have different understandings, but that you are able to have the ability, and once developed you can use it to assist others in personal healings.

One more thing about auras before I continue: these colors are meant only to be indicators of present emotion, or physical state they can change rapidly, and it’s important to not use them as a diagnosis tool on any level by themselves.

White

This aura color has many different meanings, so you should always look at the physical and character features of the person whose aura you are reading. The color is rare among healthy people, so you should carefully check the aura for any (even slight) tones of other colors to be completely sure that the aura is white. If your aura is white it means that your nature is very pure. If you see white sparkles in the aura it means that your angels are near you. It can also mean that you are pregnant or soon you will become pregnant.You are using drugs or other damaging substances which seriously affect your health. You can be greatly influenced by distraction, and should soon decide on where you stand on the spiritual level. Remember that your body is made of three very important constructs: Your mind, body and spirit lack of attention to any part could result in stressors that could have been avoided.


Rainbow


If there are three or more rainbow colors in your aura, this can mean: You are a natural healer. Your energy is pure and strong therefore you are capable of healing other people. That may also mean that you work as a healer. This is your first incarnation on earth. You have not had any other lives before the one you are living now.



Yellow

This aura color indicates that you are very joyous but stubborn person. You do not like to be told what to do and freedom is the most important thing to you. You try not to become attached too much to anyone and you are emanating joy, generosity and energy. If yellow appears as a thought in your aura (above your head), it means that you just had a joyous thought.



Gold

The gold aura color means that you are enlightened and have divine protection. This color shows that you let you Higher Self work through you. You always act for the highest good of all. This color is a symbol of wisdom, spirituality and intuition. If you notice a yellow halo above the head that means that you are a spiritual teacher. It also means that you have activated your third eye chakra to the fullest degree.



Yellow-Green

This aura color means that you are a good communicator and understand how to manage finances. You are persistent in everything you do, enjoy your life and are optimistic about the future. You are proactive and always look at the bright side of life. You are creative and you can express your feelings perfectly into words. People who have such aura are also perceived to be powerful and sometimes intimidating.



Orange

Such aura shows that you have the ability to control people and you are a powerful personality. You are capable of inspiring people and you get easily excited. This color also indicates good health, energetic and determined personality. You are very creative and you are not afraid to try out something new and dangerous/exciting. You like to communicate with different kinds of people and you may be overeating when you are stressed. You may also have some other addictions.



Orange-Yellow

This aura color means that you are a creative person that could work as an actor, painter, decorator or entrepreneur. This color also signifies intelligence and perfectionism. You have a great attention to detail and you like to see tangible evidence before making decisions or believing in statements presented to you.



Red

Red aura color means that the person is materialistic and does not believe in non-physical aspect of life. Such person sees other people as separate from him/her. To such person looks are important. A person with red aura may find themselves currently stressed over finances, family, or some other life issue. If they stay in this red zone they may physically act out their aggressive state. When someone has a high level of red they tend also to be overly dramatic, unforgiving and nervous. Some of these characteristics can be easily brought back to balance if they can find an outlet.



Pink

If your aura color is pink it means that you are a perfectly balanced person. You are very spiritual but you also love earth and live in the now. This color is not common and it is usually only temporary color, it cannot stay for a long time.



Green

Green aura color signifies relaxed attitude and ability to heal. People with green auras emanate peace and it is very relaxing to be in the company of such people. People with dominant green auras usually love everything related to nature and they love being outside most of the time. They feel connection with nature and they instinctively know how to grow plants.



Violet

This aura color is very powerful and it shows that the person is spiritually advanced. This is the aura color of leaders and visionaries. People who have this color of the aura enjoy helping others prosper in all areas of life. Their passion is to help people find their life purpose and make them more aware of the spiritual side of them. Such people have big goals that some would consider impossible to achieve. They also have a very creative side of them therefore they are usually involved in work that requires creativity and imagination. Such people have strong intuition and they are usually born with psychic abilities.



Lavender

People whose strongest color in the aura is lavender are the ones who have very vivid imagination and they also have some psychic abilities. They are usually less active and more immersed in thinking about their goals and imagining how they can accomplish their goals.



Silver

This aura color means that the person is abundant physically and spiritually. Such person never worries about money because it seems that he/she receives money at every turn. This color (when it is very shiny and large) can also mean that the person has made the full connections with the source that created everything in the universe. They are generally open to those who are spiritually minded and do not close their minds off to religions who have similar views. Connection to the divine is their main concern. Teaching others how to also bring up their levels of consciousness also is extremely important to those who possess silver in their aura.



Blue

If your main aura color is blue then it means that you are a very in touch with your emotions. You may emotionally react to any small expression directed towards you and you tend to cry about small things. This color also indicates that you like to help others and are compassionate towards people. You like to be around people and you are usually relaxed and sure of your ability to live a good life. You are very well aware of the Christ consciousness, and to those spiritual guides who show divine mercy. You have great compassion for those you don’t even know because you fully understand that we are all connected all with that very same life force. If the blue you are showing at the time goes electric in color you are very close to channeling an entity. This is something that is as easy as dressing in the morning. Because of this you need to learn how to protect your spiritual space, and learn discernment that is to know when a spiritual entity is benevolent, or malicious.



Turquoise

This aura color shows that you are the person who is very active and have a lot of energy. You have the power to influence masses and you are good at multi-tasking. You like many different things and you have a short attention span. Therefore things can quickly bore you and you cannot concentrate on one thing for a longer period of time. You would excel in management and leadership because you are good at organizing and explaining complicated things in simple terms.



Dark Aura Colors Meanings


Mustard (dark yellow)

This color can indicate that the person is suffering from pain (emotional or physical). It also indicates that the person is angry at someone and cannot forget about the incident that made him/her angry.
This color is often seen in students who are struggling with their studies, financially or in other ways.


Brown

This color indicates that the person is very strong in their personality; they believe that nothing comes to them without blood sweat and tears. They have more likely come from a very hard life growing up, and they have taken on heavy burdens. The good character feature of people with brown auras is that they keep confidences and are worthy of top clearances in matters of military, or other highly secretive societies.



Grey

If your aura is grey it means that you are a very simple person. You are usually very calm and wise, and are generally counselors, spiritual leaders and those who are brought in to calm explosive situations. Having grey in your aura will allow you to see things as they are, and aid you into being in the NOW moment. Meditating can help to bring you to this level and the more you gain control of your thoughts and actions the closer you become to being enlightened.



Black

Such aura color is very rare. Many people have been told that this is a negative color, and that the person who holds a black aura can be a psychic vampire, this is utter nonsense. This person has learned how to control their aura is very insightful. They have learned that not everything is as it seems and they have also learned that simply because something is thought only to be healing it can also be used to harm. Most times they are not interested in taking, but giving of their time to those who are willing to learn the old ways. They possess little patience for people who are only interested in doing for the immediate and not the long term. They can be very endearing friends, but do not cross them for they have long memories. These people can go into situations of high stress and succeed no matter the consequence. They always do things for the greater good, and may come off in social instances as being inept, but I assure you they are watching everything and are fully capable of engaging when their interest is peaked.

Simple Technique to viewing auras
By developing a sight for aura you will be able to check both physical and mental health.
You will also be able to understand your general attitude towards life and spot any negative character features (e.g. greed or hatred) you may have. Once you develop this different kind of sight you will even be able to read auras of other people, like those of your friends or relatives.

It will also help you understand people and determine their intentions. You will be able to see which person likes or loves you and which holds negative thoughts towards you. The moods and intentions of people can also be felt from the vibrations they emanate.

I knew about the techniques of seeing auras and a couple of months ago I decided to start practicing my aura sight. I developed a simple technique of seeing auras and I was able to see the auras of non-living objects straight away. After a couple of days I started seeing my own aura. Although some websites and books offer complicated ways of seeing auras, it is not that hard to develop this ability.

Here is my technique of seeing auras:

Start with bright objects. Bright objects have stronger colors; therefore their auras are much easier to see than the auras of subtly colored objects. It will be useful for you to firstly see the auras of such objects to get a general idea of how the aura looks like.

To see the aura you should be in the area in daylight rather than one which is lit by an unnatural light.

Take a red book or some other brightly colored object and hold it against the wall. The book can either touch the wall or not, it does not make any difference.

Now look at the edge of the book and keep looking at it without putting any focus on it. Let your eyesight ease up and just calmly look at the edge of the book and a background.

Let your sight become blurry

If you can, start looking at no particular object. This way you will achieve blurry eyesight and it will soon change to another type of sight which will show you the aura.

If you start seeing the objects nearer or further away from you than they really are, this is also a sign that very shortly you will start seeing the aura, just keep looking in the same way.

The less you blink the better. The more tired you are, the more likely you are to see the aura. Also firstly you will only see a very narrow strip of the aura, but with practice it will expand.

You can make this narrow strip expand by transferring your look from the object you are viewing to that strip of the aura and the background. But remember, do not focus your sight on anything in particular because the aura will disappear from your sight.

With practice you will also be able to turn your head to look at some different part of the aura without it disappearing. This will help you see current illnesses or potential diseases in the body. They will show up as dark patches in the aura.

However when you see different colored patches above or around the head, these patches can also mean that the person has very intense thoughts. The color of these patches determines the nature of the thoughts.

When you can spot auric colors of the objects fairly quickly, then you can try seeing your own aura, animal aura and other people's auras.

Although it is advised to start seeing person's aura by looking at their third eye chakra (between the eyebrows), I found it much easier to see the aura by looking at a hand or a leg because you can then look at the edge of your hand and you can also see the background. In other words, your sight goes in between the edge of your hand and the background. Therefore the aura shows up easier.

However, the aura is stronger (larger) around your head, so you can try both ways and see which one gives you better results.

Tips for seeing auras

When you try to look at other parts of the aura you should do so by maintaining your blurry sight rather than a focused sight. If you focus your sight whilst looking at other aura parts you will lose the sight of the aura. Also you will notice that your sight will try to tune the aura out and it will take some time to quickly and continuously see auras because your sight is not used to it. If you see your aura as a thin white strip, you may be seeing your etheric body rather than the aura. To determine that you can put your fingers in front of each other, around 5cm apart.

If you look at your fingers and you see that many white strips are touching each other from both hands' fingers, then you are seeing your etheric body. With continued practice you will be able to see the actual aura. The brighter the person's aura, the more positive and stronger (physically and mentally) the person is. people with strong auras can focus clearly and they are confident in the direction their life is moving towards.  Do not be surprised if you spot an aura of the person that has two colors which are going through each other and have different intensity areas. My aura happens to be pink/purple.  When you do see more than one color it simply means that the person is working on a few different levels at the same time. 

The best way to see the correct color of your aura is in daylight against a white wall. I know that some people use black background but I did not try this. If you look at your aura in the area lit by an unnatural light or against colored walls you may see a changed aura color. This is because the aura color will be changed by the aura of the colored background or unnatural light.

When you look at your own/other people's auras, keep in mind that bright clothes can change aura color too. The less colored clothes you wear the more realistic aura color you will be able to see.

Does the energy in your home or workplace keep you from feeling at ease?

Do you feel uneasy in your home or work place?

At times the home may fall prey to storing negative energy, unwanted spirits/ghosts and other paranormal occurrences. This usually happens if there has been negative events within the home, such as violence, death, sickness, depression, or imbalance of the land etc. It can also occur due to spirits being drawn to a member of the household, or a spirit haunting a place due to unresolved issues. These events may be known to you, or they may have occurred prior to you living in the house in question. If you feel uncomfortable with the energy of your home, or you have had manifestations that are unwanted, it is advised that you have your home cleansed and blessed to prevent the negative energies from affecting you and your family.

Generally speaking there are two types of imbalance that can happen in a home. The first is the energy of the home being out of balance, and needing restoration. The home can absorb energy, and if the energy present in your home does not feel welcoming and calm, it may well need clearing to regain a sense of harmony. The second imbalance is for the home to be haunted by a spirit or ghost. In this situation there may be ghost or entity residing within the home that is out of place. Ghosts are the spirits of people who have not yet crossed over, and it is advised that they are assisted to do so, rather than to remain in this plane of existence. Most ghosts are not too troublesome, but there are situations where the spirit can have a very detrimental effect on those living within the house.

 Following is a list of some of the types of manifestations that may occur in a house that requires cleansing.

• A feeling of unease, heavy energy, not feeling comfortable in your home
• Feeling like you are being watched
• Seeing things dart past you out of the corner of your eye
• Feeling like you have been touched or grabbed
• Hearing strange noises, voices, footsteps etc
• Seeing strange lights
• Objects being moved about the house
• Objects being shaken, broken, flung across the room
• Strange foul odors
• Nightmares that are not usual
• Bad energy affecting those in the house causing arguments, a feeling of being jinxed, or a run of bad luck 
• Seeing full or part apparitions of spirits/ghosts/entities
• Extremes in temperature, usually cold
• Mists or clouds of smoke forming
• Dramatic change in personality and behavior of someone living within the house
• Animals that will not go into certain rooms
• Being physically attacked, held down, strangled etc by spirits/entities
• Doors slamming, lights blowing out and other violent manifestations

Obviously there is a wide range of possible manifestations that can occur. Some of the feelings may be intuited by you or others in your home, others still may present themselves to you in a very dramatic way. The important thing to remember is that you have the right to feel comfortable in your own home. For whatever the reason that the energy has become imbalanced, it is always a good idea to try to find out why, and to put an end to the disruption. Not all spirits that display manifestations in the home are negative, some are just lost or unable to move on, while others can be very nasty indeed.

If you feel that you would like your home or business cleansed and blessed I am able to do this by appointment. The process involves me coming to your address to sense what is out of balance in your home, followed by a ritualized cleansing. I like to use a mix of candles, incense, oils etc in conjunction with prayer (you are welcome to participate in the cleansing and blessing of you home). During a house blessing I will assess what is out of balance, make contact with any spirits that are within the property, clear the negative energy and help the spirit to cross over, as well as bless the property to ensure the home is protected and peaceful in the future. During the session I may also advise you on how to improve the energy of your home in simple ways, such as placement of objects and layout to encourage the best energy possible in your home. I have successfully performed house blessings and sprit clearings for dozens of families as well as working to improve the energy of retail shops and private business's.

Most house blessings take about an hour to perform, however this time can vary depending on the nature and intensity of the work required.

To begin with, the home or office has the ability to capture and hold low vibration and/or negative energy. Negative energy manifests through low vibration thoughts and ideas and is expressed mentally, physically or verbally. Anger, sadness, resentment, fights and arguments, bad thoughts or memories of events or people, hateful or harsh words spoken, etc in the home or office place can gather to develop negative energy.

Buying a new house? Moving into a new office space? Houses and buildings inherit energy from previous occupants so it’s always a good idea to cleanse the home or building of unwanted energy before even moving the first piece of furniture in.

My goal when clearing out the energy is to get rid of the old, stale negative energy, clear it, kick it out the door and replace it with good, clean clear loving happy energy.

Real Estate Agents and Landlords:

Are you having a hard time selling a particular house or keeping a house occupied with tenants? Does the house hold low vibrations from previous or current residents? Has a death, divorce or foreclosure happened in the home? If you said yes to these things, you may want to consider having the house cleansed of negative energy and blessed creating a more inviting atmosphere for new prospects. To set up an appointment please contact me!

In our daily lives we all have good days and bad days. Spaces where people are present, whether it is living, working or even just visiting, will collect all sorts of energies, some positive, some negative. In fact every person who visits a space, if even for a brief period, will leave energies behind that will linger. Doing a regular cleansing and purification, preferably every month, will clear these energies that accumulate and make for a much more peaceful and balanced abode.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel

How the original Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel was created

One day, after celebrating Mass, the aged Pope Leo XIII was in conference with the Cardinals when suddenly he sank to the floor in a deep swoon. Physicians who hastened to his side could find no trace of his pulse and feared that he had expired. However, after a short interval the Holy Father regained consciousness and exclaimed with great emotion: "Oh, what a horrible picture I have been permitted to see!"


He had been shown a vision of evil spirits who had been released from Hell and their efforts to destroy the Church. But in the midst of the horror the archangel St. Michael appeared and cast Satan and his legions into the abyss of hell. Soon afterwards Pope Leo XIII composed the following prayer to Saint Michael, which is the original version:

Original - Prayer to St. Michael

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

“Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.

“These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be.

“Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.

R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David.

V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.

R. As we have hoped in Thee.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
Let us pray.

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”

Short Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

The well-known short version of this prayer follows in English and Latin. The Pope ordered this prayer to be recited daily after Low Mass in all the churches throughout the Catholic world. However this practice was almost completely swept away in the 1960s by liturgical changes made in the wake of Vatican Council II.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

In the orignal latin:

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in praelio. Contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur. Tuque princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo divina virtute in infernum detrude. Amen.

A word about spirit guides

"The first peace, which is the most important,

is that which comes within the souls of people

when they realize their relationship, their oneness,

with the universe and all its powers,

and when they realize that at the center of the universe

dwells the Great Spirit,

and that this center is really everywhere,

it is within each of us."

~ Black Elk - Oglala Sioux ~

Whenever I start to write an article regarding spiritual matters I give a few minutes to “spirit” and quiet my monkey rambling mind to the peace of pure energy. That same driving force that has created everything including the planet we live on. How fascinating it is at times to think we are hurling through space at approximately 67,108 mph, while we can sit here and write things of which we can only begin to glimpse any knowledge of, but I digress.


I had a wonderful conversation with an online friend who works in the field of spiritual enlightenment and we talked for a short while on the matter of spirit guides. Within the last year they had lost a dear loved one to a brain hemorrhage. Truly a horrible way to die, but worse there were loved ones here who felt simply lost without the peace of this wonderful man on Earth.


She asked me if it was some sort of karmic reasoning behind his untimely death, if perhaps he did or did not do something he was supposed to and that was why his life was taken. I did my best to console her and remind her that this sort of thing is like a ticking time bomb in a person’s body and there was nothing a doctor could really have done without him being in a hospital with a scanner going checking out something else in his head. They would have had to have had him already in a hospital and even then he may still have died.


The beauty of this man’s spirit came off in the picture that my lady friend sent to me, and it was clear that he was and still is a driving force even now. One of the very last things he had said to her was that he would never leave her. And for quite some time after his death she could still feel him in a very real earth time presence.


Her questions though began when that “feeling” quit; it had been a number of days and she could not feel him on any level. She came to me to help her understand what may have happened to the man who said he would never leave her side.


Many times we can still have a real presence connection to loved ones who have touched our lives and have since passed into the full spiritual side of the body. We are wonderfully and gloriously made; we are mind, body and spirit. We mostly give all of that lip service and do not really fully understand that once we die we evolve into spirit from where we emanated. Once our physical body serves us no longer we can move into a new more complete body of light and energy.


This energy can take form, presence and is very real. When we pass over into this new fuller energy we can move through time and space without any interference. We can see loved ones hear them touch them even; all of which depends on our personal guides who are waiting for us when this crossing over occurs. We learn how to fully embrace love, compassion and if we desire we can stay with those who we love.


This bond here on Earth is extremely powerful nothing destroys love, just as nothing destroys energy. Our loved ones through the power of prayer, and the compassionate act of love can draw their loved ones near at any time. Learning how to reach out only takes a short amount of time, and the willingness to let go of fear, and forgiving the person for dying.


My lady friend was upset and somewhat angry that her best friend in the entire world left her. I had to make her understand that in her desperation to hold onto something; in this case the anger, she was holding herself back from making another connection with him. I told her once she made a real attempt to let that be part of her grieving past, and make a better choice to just simply love she would reconnect.


I would venture to say that everyone has a spirit guide; mostly they are ancestors who have a particular passion for assisting their living line to progress in spiritual awareness; however in saying that there are those guides for which there is no real explanation that they find a particular person and walk with them for a while. You can think of a spiritual guide like this: someone who has a particular expertise in events of the living world, and has the ability to bring out potential in others.


You can recognize your guide in a number of ways. It may be a song that won’t quit playing in your head; it may be a series of numbers, a scent that takes you by surprise like that of tobacco or a perfume essence. It may be a thought that inspires you to take a different road, or make a different decision that turns out to be better for your circumstance.


It is not so much important to know exactly who it is, or how it works what is important is that it happens every day of your life and you probably don’t even realize it. Becoming aware is the first step in understand the importance of your spiritual guide allowing for him or her to show you in the quiet of your mind.


How to call upon your guide:


There are many ways a person can be introduced to their spirit guides; mainly however, the process is all relatively the same. In a quiet space either indoors or in nature tune you focus towards the light inwards that gives you breathe. As you become aware of your spiritual body begin to become aware of your breathing. Breathing in through your nose into your lungs deep as you can breathe in the light (you may color this light any hue you enjoy). As you breathe out from your mouth allow the color to form around your external body. Keep doing this breathing exercise until you’re sure that your body is in a complete colored bubble.


Now that you have extended your spirit you can now touch those guides with your energy and allow them to make themselves present to you. Do not worry that you may attract anything of a negative nature as your internal spirit will not allow anything to harm you during this exercise.


As you feel your energy connecting to your guide ask that they reveal their name within 20-30 seconds you will get a knowing or understanding of their name and gender. Do not be concerned if the name sounds odd, or unfamiliar. As I made mention earlier it is possible for anyone living who has crossed over to reach out and assist someone on the earth plane. Guides also come in all forms both human and animal. For now we will concentrate on the human form.


After you receive the name make the connection by saying it aloud three times. Breathe in deeply through the nose and release with the mouth. Before taking the next breathe say the name of your guide. When you are finished with the exercise write down any impressions you receive, and any thoughts you may have to ask your guide in the next session.


For those who have been introduced into the church with regard to the holy spirit once you have this presence in your life it will NEVER leave you no matter how much you feel like you are alone. You can call upon the Holy Spirit to help guide you through any situation where you feel spiritual guidance is required. If you feel you are afraid and in need of protection you can call upon the Holy Spirit to help banish any evil presence in your home or around you.


SPIRITUS SANCTUS INVICTUS


THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN NOT BE CONQUERED.


Your loved ones can see you, hear you and want to be a part of your living life as long as you place your grief in proper perspective and allow your love to shine through in due time, you too will find this peace and allow them to guide you from the other side.

Hope for the future

A human can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.

It is possible that all your life you have been told the things you could never do. You're not good enough, strong enough, and talented enough; you're the wrong height, weight, color, social class. You will never amount to anything beyond these small four little walls so you might as well face it. These are horrible wrong utterances made many times by family members, or social peers because they lacked the ability to see beyond their meaningless lives. If you continue to listen you can trap yourself into a personal hell that goes well beyond this life. The decision to do nothing is sometimes just as bad if not worse than doing something. Many times clients will say if I don't do anything and just wait to see what happens next then perhaps I will find happiness. What I say here is that if you choose to let someone do your thinking for you then you have already lost.

Why would someone let another make their personal choice decisions for them? It is based on what they have experienced as younger people. They watch their parents, their friends, social media, and worse the television and decide that what they are seeing IS the way it’s supposed to be. What does it mean to go against the grain and start to think for yourself? It means freedom, it might not seem like you're doing much, but once you open your mind to the possibility that things can change, that you deserve to see where your personal life road map can take you, and it’s amazing.

I have talked to many clients who were at a crossroad trying to decide what they should do, or if they should do anything at all. Some were very young just starting out on their adult life, but having a long period of time being told you can't, because you're just not good enough. Hearing things like that makes me want to go against my Buddhist teachings and find the person(s) responsible for taking their hope away, and do something not very socially acceptable.

Too many times we run into people who have just given up on themselves, and there is no way that they want anyone around them to be happy, or successful. It makes them feel useless, tired and worthless so they prefer to keep themselves surrounded by superficial things, and place a mask on their face to keep from showing the world that they really are hurting inside; they just don’t know how to do anything else.

When you are faced with insurmountable odds, and no one to give you an emotional boost what do you do? Usually when someone comes to me for a reading I and they tell me that they have so much stuff on their minds they just don’t know what to do; I ask them a question that they don’t generally expect. I say what type of pie do you like if they say they don’t like pie I say fine then what sort of cake do you like. Once the answer is given I can then proceed to show them how they can break down their situation into small chunks.

So I am asking you the reader are you at a crossroad? What is your favorite pie, cake? Myself I love Mocha java triple chocolate cake. Now, just pretend for a moment that you went to your favorite specialty store bought the best ingredients for your desert; then came home and carefully and lovingly prepared the batter, then baked it to perfection. Of course you let it cool and then finish it off however, you like it. Tell me something, would you then go about sitting down and gorging yourself on the entire desert, or take a slice and be satisfied?

Most would answer when asked either out of modesty or just simple reaction that they would take a slice. Now then why would you try to take all your personal troubles and try to eat all of them mentally or emotionally at one time?

There is no way that anyone not even the best shrink in the world can take all of life’s situations and make them all work all at once. What I tell the client next is to prioritize what is honestly troubling them, list it on paper this process makes it concrete. Sure they are already thinking in their head they know what the problems are, but until they see them in some sort of physical manner it’s still just stuck in their head causing more stress. I have them make three lists to prioritize their current situation: things that are most pending, things that have moderate stress, and finally what they find only mildly annoying. Once this is done then we can take things into perspective and move through what is really the cause of their stress.

Methodically taking each situation and breaking it down so that it becomes less traumatic has many benefits. It shows the client that they can take control of their life, and it gives them confidence to do it by themselves when they don’t have me around. And the eventual goal is for them to not need my services anymore.

Yeah I did say that. My way of working with clients is not like most. I want people to move beyond needing someone to show them that they can do whatever it is to be successful. It has in a lot of times created a lack of income in my life, but when I can talk to someone and they can tell me they are happy, peaceful and confident I am thankful that they were able to do it on their own.

This world is a huge place and there is always someone somewhere that is gonna need a hand up to help them see how to re-gain their peace of mind, or learn how to obtain it in the first place. How blessed I am to be able to be there for them to bring them out of the dark into the light.

You're blessed simply because you breathe
