Healing Crystals with Purpose


Posted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)

What Does it Mean When You Are Attracted to a Particular Gemstone?

Ever wonder why you are attracted to a particular stone and not another? Being
attracted to crystals or rocks is not all that different from those times when we were
drawn to certain people who have formed our friendships and relationships. You will
feel a magnetic pull or strong desire to touch or pick up a gemstone when you see it.
Keep in mind that a stone you are drawn to may not necessarily be shiny or pretty.
Although a stone may look very plain it will not go unnoticed. Rather than its outward
appearance it will be the vibration, the crystal healing properties within the stone, that
will compel you to touch it. Being attracted to crystals and gemstones will happen more
and more as you learn to be open to receiving vibrational healing energies.

Gifting Someone with a Crystal for Healing

You may also feel a strong impulse to gift someone with a specific gemstone. Nature
will manage to deliver the right stone that is needed to heal or support you or someone
else you know in creative ways. For example, after picking up a stone that caught your
attention, it won't be until you handle it that your friend Sally will enter your thoughts.
You will intuitively know that this stone wants to belong to Sally. As if by magic you
have been recruited to deliver the healing energies that will help her. How cool is that?
You don't even have to tell Sally that you are delivering a healing to her. Simply tell
Sally that the stone made you think of her and you would like her to have it. It is the
truth after all.

Sensitivity to a Stone's Energies


Discovering what a stone's talent or purpose is can often be realized by simply holding
it and feeling its energies. Sensitivity to energies or vibrations can vary from person to
person. But, all you have to really know is that if a stone feels right when you handle it,
grasp it tightly and take it home with you. If it feels icky or flat, leave it behind, it is not
for you. It is likely meant for someone else who you don't know.

What to Do if You Can't Afford a Gemstone


If you have found a gemstone for sale in a store that feels right and yet you realize that
you cannot afford it, well then you will have no choice but to leave it behind. You may
not be able to keep it but the stone itself will not be stingy with its healing properties.
If it is locked in a display case tell the sales person that you would like to inspect the
stone. Handling the stone is perhaps all you need to do. The stone will likely transfer a
vibrational healing to you while you are handling it.

No Worries!
Don't sweat it if you cannot keep a particular stone. It has often been said that a stone
can never be owned, that we are merely caregivers of stones. A stone will clear a
pathway to make its way to you if it is truly meant for you. Because many stones carry
similar energies you can try to raise or lower your personal vibration to match the
energy you felt when you held that elusive stone that you had to go home without. You
can do this during your meditation practice or quiet time. Mimicking the vibration will
help another appropriate stone to find its way to you. Happy rock collecting!

Colds and Flu part 2 discussion notes


with Susun Weed
Susun Weed - sauerkraut is the number one way to prevent the flu
keep a jug of it on hand and eat a little every day
just a spoonful is fine
if the flu is around you
at work
at school
where ever
start eating sauerkraut several times a day and eat more
you will be thrilled at how effective it is
one thing is that is contains real vitamin C which is thousands of times more effective
than pills of ascorbic acid and it is fermented, so it builds gut flora that aid the immune
system
and cabbage contains sulphur compounds that are active against a wide variety of
infectious agents
triple whammy

SAUERKRAUT
and then there is Elda Mohr
the great elder tree
who gives us her flowers and her berries
but only if we ask her permission
a Swiss firm makes an elderberry anti-flu tincture and has done quite a lot of testing
against various strains of flu

their tests show that elderberry can kill all kinds of flu
bird flu
H1N1
the worst flu viruses are no match for elder berries
combine a quarter pound of dried elder berries and a liter of 100 proof vodka and let
macerate for six weeks if you want to make your own which will be a lot lot cheaper
than buying it
doses can be lavish: a dropperful of more, every hour or so if needed
then this is the year to start. make your own or buy it ready made.
when i was in australia, i got sick and lost my voice.
I was glad i had two ounces of echinacea with me so i could take 2-4 dropperfuls every
few hours.
I added a drop of poke tincture every six hours because the infection seemed to be
wanting to go into my sinuses and ears
when i needed to teach, i took osha to calm the swelling in my throat.
this allowed me to speak,
though not loudly
i also relied on honey lots of honey to soothe my throat
not honey in tea
but straight honey
out of the squeeze bottle
as often as i needed it to keep my throat feeling okay and to keep my voice going
i missed the dark honey i have at home
which kicks sore throats
most australian honeys are light
very delicious

i also used some mullein and some hypericum


mullein is one of my favorite lung loving herbs
i prefer the infusion mixed with milk
but carry the tincture of the leaves
and find that works quite well
i also rely on elecampane
it has long been one of my favorites it smells rather like moth balls
and seems to be really active in countering all infections that settle into the lungs
it looks rather like a sunflower but shorter
Inula helenium
and, of course, hypericum
i tincture the fall-dug roots of elecampane
it is said to be named after helen of troy because it is beautiful like she was
it is sometimes like taking a hit of pure oxygen when you take elecampane tincture
even helped one fellow with emphysema
shocked me
elecampane is fast; mullein is slower
but they work well together
i didn't take all these herbs at once
started with the echinacea
add the poke as i saw it was needed
used osha only as needed
took a dropperful of hypericum several times a day, or as i thought of it
worked with the mullein and the elecampane as i felt i needed them.
glad i carry remedies with me.

i would have had to cancel classes without my herbal allies.


i used to make a cough syrup every fall
we would make it in class
i would make infusions of herbs like sage
mint
hyssop
horehound
mullein
red clover
yarrow
and then we would decoct them during class by putting them in pans on the wood
stove and reducing the amount of liquid by about 2/3s
at the end of the day, we would choose which herbal decoctions we wanted, mix in a
generous amount of honey and have an individual cough syrup. but over the past
decade i have found it easier to cover the fresh herbs with honey and use that as a tea to
ease coughs and sore throats
i have jars of sage honey
which is fresh sage chopped up and covered in honey
and rosemary honey
and mint honey
and shiso honey
I can put the tea kettle on to boil, scoop a big spoonful of herb and honey out of the jar,
add boiling water and have an instant remedy
much safer and easier than those cough syrups of yore
hardly a year would go by without someone having an exploding cough syrup
because they left it out of the fridge and it fermented
or they added so much honey it fermented even in the fridge

or the bottle they put it in wasn't sterilized


or the syrup wasn't hot enough when it went into the bottle
yes, i have gotten simpler over the years
one of the simple winter remedies i love is white pine
but you could use another evergreen if you wish
the white pine is especially useful because it is lower in pitch
tastes better
turpentine was originally tincture of pine!
my favorite way to prepare pine for winter use is to fill a jar with the needles and cover
them with apple cider vinegar
i call it homemade balsamic
pinon pine needles also make a very tasty vinegar
other pine needle vinegars can be harsh, like retsina
cedar or fir vinegar is also strong.
yew needles are poison. do not consume please
I have also been given pine needle tea as a cold remedy
Stronger remedies are made from pine bark
the whole tree is a powerful antiseptic
tea of the bark is considered one of the best remedies for any pulmonary probelm
it can be chewed
or boiled much of the antiseptic goodies are in the resin or sap
pine sap stains your hands and clothes black and it makes the classic Black Salve black

YARROW
is a classic anti-cold and flu herb

we have talked about this wonderful wild plant i am sure tincture of the flowering tops
is the way to go to ward off colds ward off flu
treat colds
treat the flu
taken hot, yarrow tea can cause quite the diaphoresis
that is, it makes you sweat
older herbalists thought you could sweat out the cold or the flu
so herbs that cause diaphoresis were considered really useful in curing colds and the
flu

BONESET
gets its name not from mending broken bones,
but from curing Break Bone Fever
another name for the flu
I tincture the flowering tops of the plants and take small amounts (5-10 drops) at the
first sign on the flu.
I also found boneset useful in resolving some of my tick bite maladies this past year.
aching bones? think boneset.
One of the very first YouTube videos Justine and I did is about hot colds and cold colds
it is still there
and still valid
in simple terms, overheating is cooled and overcooling is warmed
overheating colds cause stuffed up nose, chapped lips, red face, scanty urine,
constipation, dry/hot skin
overcooling colds cause runny nose, cold sores on lips, pale face, diarrhea, clammy
skin, sweating
to cool overheating, choose raw fruit, vitamin C, iced beverages

to warm overcooling, choose baked foods, no fruit, hot chocolate, hot herbal tea with
honey
this is just an introduction to the concept,
which comes from
China and the 5 element theory
but i find if you follow the progress of the cold or flu by actively seeking to cool when
you are overheating and warm when we are overcooling
yes, it will swing from one to the other
like a balance scale
then you will be less sick and well sooner
each month we will chat about a tree
so we will get some magical lore as well as herbal things
folklore and stories
i have picked 12 from the ogam series
green blessings to you all

White Buffalo cage legend


Posted by hippiechic"Gypsy rose"
The prophecy of the white buffalo-calf-woman
More than 1000 years ago an incident happened to the Lakoto Indians in North
America, a tribe of the Dakota Indians, which influences the spiritual life of lots of
different Indian tribes till today and is the basis of the Seven Holy Rites practized
by lots of Indians.
During a time of famine a powerful spiritual being appeared at the Lakota tribe and
told them she would give them via spiritual way a few rites, which would be very
essentiell for their survival, their future and the continued existence of their nation.
The first two of the seven holy rites she gave to the leaders of the tribe personally, one
is known as the holy pipe rite and the second is the cleansing rite (known over here
also as steam hut) and showed them how to work with the rites.
Furthermore the white buffalo-calf-woman, after ending her teachings, made a
prophecy to the Lakoto, which effects us till today. She let them know, that she
wouldnt return for a long period of time and asked the Indians to integrate the rites
into their lives till then and work with them eagerly. Regarding her prophecy her
return would be in a time of big crisis and great upheaval, shortly before the great
cleaning of the earth is about to start. She will be there to support nature and all
primitive people.
This old indian prophecy about the return of the white buffalo-calf-woman is known
from all the indian nations for centuries and has its effects till nowadays.
In the end this prophecy means, that in a time of great global upheaval, which is called
Cleaning of Mother Earth, by the Hopi Indians, there will again show up the spirit
of mother earth herself and manifest to help all the people and to support them, who
see their duty in the preservation of nature and act in sympathy with all living beings.
So it is also no wonder, that within the last few years people all around the world do
have great visions of this motherly spirit, appearing as the white buffalo-calf-woman,
are deeply touched, so that their hearts are opened imnediately with great love and
sympathy. This calls of the white buffalo-calf-woman mostly comes to together with
the ability to realize the very own purpose of life and the way connected to it.

The prophecy says that we will be capable of the beginning of the time of return of the
white buffalo-calf-woman by the sudden birth of pure white buffalo calfs.
And indeed since the end of the 90s in the United States of America white buffalo calfs
have been born, who are not albinos, but genetically pure white calfs. This
phenomenon has already caused a spiritual recalling to their roots within the native
indians of America, also part of the white American got to know about the white
buffalo-calf-woman with the help of that, which leaded to a change of thinking. Nearly
at the same time with this important events in the States at the other end of the world,
in Australia, white, naturally grown crystall buffalo skulls were found, which are also
closely connected to the prophecy of the white buffal-calf-woman. With the help of the
spiritual guidance of the white buffalo woman all the white buffalo skulls found,
without exception found their way to Europa to the global earth healer and spiritual
teacher Wolfgang Hahl, with the purpose to be given by him to spiritual healers and
teacher. That way that the break through of the motherly spirit of the white buffalo
woman on our continent can take place, by giving as much people as possible the
chance to get in contact with the energy of the white buffalo-calf-woman, with the help
of the white crystall buffalo heads.
The great Plan
Within the following years it is very important that all women (but men also) get in
contact with their female source and energy again, integrate it into their lives, so that
they learn how to let their love, energy and wisdom work for the benefit of all living
beings.
We are at the beginning of an age, where the women will get their power back and use
it to bring change to heal all parts of our lives, after we have been dominated by male
power for centuries. For this it is necessary that more and more people reconnect to that
female source and energy, to let it work through them and to trust their divine
guidance.
Because in most of the religious and spiritual schools stills rules the male principle and
male teachers and masters, as well as male Saints are playing the leading role, we here
get a perfect opportunity to get a deep and concrete connection to the female spiritual
power and beings, who are in nature and on this planet and inspire it.
In meditations with the white crystal buffallo skulls you will not only get and feel the
blessing of the white buffalo woman, but also spontanious self healing processes can
turn up, the kundalini energy is activated again, and old knowledge and spiritual
abilities are awakened again.

This happens that more people open their hearts in sympathy for the suffering nature
and are willing to work strongly to maintain and protect of all beings. Now it is the
time that the white buffalo-calf-woman is calling all people with a pure heart to work
with her for the great plan.
It is the great plan to stop the enormous destruction of nature by human beings and to
work together to create paradise on earth, where all beings can live together in
harmony and grow on their way.
The white buffalo woman appeared Wolfgang Hahl in visions, where she let him
know that she would have manifested during a period of 35000 years white crystal
buffalo heads to give us an easier access to her spirit, so that this skulls can serve as
powerful, energetic catalysators and gigantic spiritual antennas of her spirit.
People that way get the unique chance to get a direct and concrete access to her spirit,
to communicate with her and to receive her love and blessings directly.
There are no words to describe and it only can be experienced what happens when her
unique motherly love and her enlighted spirit come down to us with the help of the
buffalo heads, touch our hearts and heal them. A yearly white buffalo woman seminar
is offered my Wolfgang Hahl. It will also be my duty to give as many people as
possible the chance to reconnect with this wonderful, powerful, lovingly and motherly
energy of the white buffalo woman in seminars (see my calendar of events or call for
arrangements please).
All crystal buffalo skulls found up to today, have been found without exception in a
dry salt lake in a kilometerlong area in Australia between Ayers Rock (Uluru) and
Olgas, which is also a part where many sacred sites from the aboriginis are found and
which is talked about in many myth and legends from ancient times.
The fact that it was possible to find the skulls in an area as big as that, which is covered
by a constant salt layer, shows that a strong and powerful spiritual force (the spirit of
the white buffalo woman) must have been leading the searchers.
Scientifically it can be roughly established that the skulls have been created by
crystalisation of selenit and hamit onto the skull bones of hoofed animals living in that
area in a creation period of 35000 years. What started that process, why not even one
other bone with that kind of crystalisation has been found, and why the skulls have
not been stuck together with the rest of the salt layers, but instead obvioulsy have been
lying in a secure vents, so that they could be found after centuries without any
dammage and transported in perfect condition to Europa is not easy to understand

and to explain logically. The fact that these skull once in a while in meditations start
smelling like real buffalos, is not only unbelievable, but at the same time neither
logical nor scientifically explainable and show us even more that the white buffalo
skulls are very spezial and mystic, yes, even sacred.
I have to admit that even knowing about the buffalo smell, I had my problems in
believing it, till my own buffalo skull one day gave me the chance to experience it on
my own, which left a feeling of great happines.
We can talk about a further wonder, when we keep in mind that all these buffalo
skulls found since 2002 have found their way to Germany to the earth healer Wolfgang
Hahl, without him doing anything for it.
Already when the first buffalo skull reached W. Hahl the spirit of the white buffalocalf-woman turned up to him and let him know that the skulls are not only closely
connected to her spirit, but that she created them, to use them as powerful catalysators
and connection between her and the human beings in the future. He was adviced
mentally to keep the first 6 skulls, that would reach him (3 selenit- and 3 halit-crystal
skulls) and to create an altar room for them.
These 6 skulls represent the 4 cardinal points as well as heaven and earth and
furthermore each of them shows a certain aspect of the power and nature of the great
motherly spirit. It goes without saying that they look totally different in their shape
and view, their form of crystalitsation and the energy is also different (all pictures can
be seen in the book Die Rckkehr der Weissen Bffelfrau by W. Hahl).
The spiritual and energetic experiences, which took place to Wolfgang Hahl with the
skulls, have been pretty intense and extensive so that he decided to write a book about
it. Shortly before the book was about to be printed in summer 2006 something
absolutely unexpected took place: The white buffalo-calf-woman had been telling
Wolfgang spiritually for quiete a while that she would send some more buffalo skulls
to him and really in one go 13 white crystal buffalo skulls, which all have been found
in the above mentioned area in Australia, came to him. They all are snow-white with a
light pink glimmer and just differ in the different positions of their spiral-shaped
horns.

Easy Crystal Magick


Posted by Whispr
Easy Crystal Magick
Crystal or stone magick is very simple and inexpensive to perform. Stones and their
wonderful spirits are all around us. Any of these spells may be cast by using the
ordinary stones that are can be found near your home.
Cleaning Stones
Stones are subjected to a multitude of energies before they arrive in your home. Prior
to using them in magic, it is advised that you perform a cleansing or purification on
the stones. However, it is always preferable to listen to your stones/crystals first to
"hear" if they require a cleansing. I personally have 2000+ stones and I think I have
cleansed only a handful.
This is a simple process which removes any past influences from the stone, getting it
ready for your use.
There are a number of different methods of cleansing:
1. Place the stones in full sunlight for a day, 3 days, or even a week. Placing them in
direct sunlight is the way to go - not behind a window on a ledge. Some stones will
clear after a day - some others will take longer. Check the stones daily and sense the
energies by placing them in your receptive hand (left hand if you are right handed opposite if you are left handed). If the vibrations are regular, the cleansing has been
successful. **Important to note that some stones will damage/fade in the sun.
2. Bury the stones in the ground for a week or so, then check to see if they have been
purified. If they have, wash them off and your magic can begin.
3. Run the stones under running water and wipe off with a white cloth. Check to see
if they have been purified - if not - repeat the process.
4. Another method that is popular is using sea salt, either by mixing the salt with
water and soaking the stone or by rubbing the salt directly onto the stone. Many
stones can get damaged by the harshness of salt - if you are not sure whether your
stone will be adversely affected by the salt - avoid it altogether. Rule of thumb - the
softer the stone the harsher the damage.
5. Place the stones - preferably outside - at the start of a full moon for three nights.
6. Lastly - and my method of choice - is to burn sage and pass the stones through the
smoke.
Charging Stones

Many sources site - before using the stones in magic, they should be "charged" or
"programmed" with energy for the specific purpose you need the from the stone. My
personal note on this is "programming" is simply wrong. It is as if you are willing the
stone to do something against its will - think of it as trying to potty train a cat.
Eventually, the cat can be trained, but your relationship with the cat will suffer in the
process.
"Charging" is a different matter indeed as you are encouraging or awaking the stone to
help you or someone else with the properties it already possess. By charging, you are
asking for a specific kind of help. You are letting the stone know which of its powers
you need the most. It is also wise to ask the stone if it indeed needs a "boost", many do
not need the encouragement to help - they share their knowledge and powers willingly.
"Charging" is simply done by holding the stones in your projective hand (right if right
handed - left if left handed), visualizing your magical need, and pouring energy out
from your body into the stone.
Say for instance you have a Moonstone and need to get more sleep at night. Put the
Moonstone into your projective hand - visualize yourself sleeping - with that energy
pouring from you into the stone. Once you can feel the vibrations - you know that the
stone has been charged.

Simple Stone Spells


taken from the book "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic"
Money And Prosperity
New Year's Stone - At sunrise on the morning of the new year, go outside and find the
largest stone you can carry. Take this back to your house and put it in a place of
prominence. If you keep the stone in your house for a year, it will be one filled with
prosperity. Replace the stone every year.
Luck
On the Fence - Rise before the Sun on the morning of the Spring Equinox. Find several
stones and place them on the fence posts that surround your property, visualizing
yourself, your home and life filled with luck.

Love
Stone Love - Go to a place that contains many water-worn stones. Look for a large, flat
rock while visualizing yourself being involved with the perfect mate.
On this rock, mark with red ink two intertwined hearts. As you do this, keep
visualization in mind. When you are finished, bury the stone in the earth in an
uncultivated place.
Protection
The Five Pebbles - Go to a moving brook or stream. While standing in the water and
facing downstream, remove five small pebbles from the stream bed. As you do this,
visualize your need for protection.
As your hand closes over the pebbles, see them beaming out protective energies. Just as
the pebbles are hard and have weathered for eons, so too will they strengthen your
protective shield.
Now carry them at all times for protection. If you wish, place them in a small pouch or a
fold of cloth, or incorporate them into some form of jewelry.
Magical Intentions
Carry the stones in your pants pocket or place in a cloth pouch and carry with you.

Understanding Oneness
Posted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)
Level of Consciousness

Sometimes, we look at the actions of others and find it difficult to understand what
motivates them. But we are all doing the best we can with the information we currently
have. We have all been taught how to see the world from the examples of those around
us and by our experiences. Keeping this in mind, we can accept the choices made by
others while seeking ways to increase the world's level of consciousness as a whole.
Our different levels of consciousness are like the developmental stages of children,
whose understanding varies according to their age and experience. For example, the
behavior of a two-year-old who doesn't want to share can be understood as a phase of
his social education, whereas a 16-year-old who behaves in the same manner would be
thought to be acting childish.It is important to remember that we are each on our own
unique path. We may have chosen certain lessons or made an agreement to play certain
roles in the unfolding of the world's understanding before we incarnated in this
lifetime. So our job is not to judge others but to shift the balance of understanding in the
world by increasing our own.
Every thought we have and action we take becomes part of the collective energy of the
planet. When we use our energy to bring light into the world, it combines with the light
brought by others to dispel the darkness. Though we live in a world of duality, which
helps us to experience the material plane, we don't need to experience extremes to
understand them. We can share our experiences and understanding with others not from
a place of condescension but of connection. When the entire family of humanity
understands that each of our thoughts, choices, and actions affect us all, we will share an
incredible level of consciousness one that puts our oneness above all else and helps us
evolve into higher expressions of our spiritual selves. Remember the next time you
witness an action of another that they are of the same earth as you but simply on a
different conscious level at this point in their life. Find compassion, bless them, and
move along your day in
grace....

Traditional Blessing and Healing Chant
Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
Pour into the rivers, and join together in the oceans,
So may the power of every moment of your goodness
Flow forth to awaken and heal all beings-Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.

By the power of every moment of your goodness,


May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled
As completely shining as the bright full moon,
As magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.

By the power of every moment of your goodness,


May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
May no obstacle come across your way.
May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.

For all in whose heart dwells respect,


Who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,
May your life prosper in the four blessings
Of old age, beauty, happiness and strength

Positive Visualization
<>

As I take a slow and even breath, I allow myself to sense


A spring of love bubbling up from my center. I imagine this
Love flowing throughout my body, mind, and emotions, healing
And transforming every part of my life. In my mind's eye
I see the love within me connecting to the love that is
Flowing throughout the world. I affirm that in this
Love there is nothing to fear. I trust that this Universal
Source of love will protect and care for me at all times.
I imagine myself going throughout my day sending and
Receiving love everywhere I go. In this love, I become a
Magnet for all the good things I deserve in life. I combine
These images with the feelings of joy and let them go,
Knowing that they will create the good things I am visualizing
And thinking.

Annoucing yourself to the world...


Posted by Blaze Lee Dragon

It is often a concern whether or not to announce who and what you are to the world. I
have heard many feel that they have the right to be annouced and feel that others need
to accept them for them...others feel that should and need to hide who and what they
are...I am of a mind to see both sides.

My first thoughts is, it's your business and no one else's what path you follow or
god/goddess you worship. Look at the Muslims, Jahova Witnesses, Mormans, Hindus,
Jews, and many many other groups, they don't parade or annouce or fight to get the
government to reconize there religious days...all they ask is for the right to practice and
be themselves... Which is the same right you have right now.

Now granted I understand being proud of who you are, but others have just as much
right to dislike your path as you do to practice your path. Many of us don't like
christmas thrown in our faces all the time nor have the bible preached to us...so why
would we want to do this to others?

As long as we can practice, there is no reason to "parade" who or what we are. Be you,
embrace your faith, teachings, or ethics and find peace with in. Find community here or
online in othere forums. Seek friends whom are close or like minded, celebrate what
you wish, believe what you wish, but please don't think you need to shout it out, don't
think you need to force others to accept, THEY WILL NOT. and should not have to.

Granted and feel we should all accept each other for being individuals but with that, we
should keep our practices to ourselves and not push them on others...infact I wish
christmas and the other religious/national holidays where not so loud in your face, but
they have become a comerical money making scene...so we bare it...

just remember you are not alone,

a comment I made which I found important...

"The point of my post was not to discourage anyone from announcing themselves, nor
was it to encourage. The point is to consider. I've heard many, who wish to do parades,
or be very loud and obvious. My main point is to be, embrace who you are, reliaze you
are not alone. For shouting it out helps nothing, attempting to bring it up in every
religious debate does nothing. For me, most whom know me know I am what I am. I
claim no title nor a specific faith. This works for me, when I speak of religion and
debate faith and beliefs I give light to all sides. When holidays are mentioned and I am
asked about "christmas" or "easter" I simply respond I don't celebrate but wish that they
had a wonderful holiday. I agree with your earlier post, I attempt to fight fear with
knowledge as well which is why I have so many videos up on youtube.com however we
have some out there who want to go out of there way to make a HUGE scene. I say, let
each one be, to follow there heart, and follow your own heart. be proud, embrace your
faith, teachings, ethics and beliefs. However being proud is not being bullheaded nor is
it fighting or arguing your believes to the world. Share when asked... think of those that
walk around with there books, and constantly refer to there "grimore" or "book of
shadows" whom wear tire sized penticles and constactly bring it up, whom speak of
magick in a normal conversation, or whom constatly say frazes like "oh my goddess" as
loud as they can...
I respect all faiths and believe in the right to practice or not practice as each person see
fits, at work I found out in a random and positive spiritual conversation that I was in a
room with a christian, a muslim and a hindu, had no idea because only the christian
was loud about it. Me and the christian started to talk, all the while speaking of theory
with out me claiming any title or beleive he was open enough to admin a disagreance
with out being negative. The others simply listened and when hearing there thoughts,
which took a great deal of time for them to feel comfortable with saying I finally heard
them admit what they where. the look on the christian's face was priceless. many of
them live thinking there way is the WAY and the only way, and that those like me are an
abnormality...when we are not, there are those of alternate faiths from the christians
everywhere... but by not being loud they will never have to fight they simply are...but
not shouting and asking others to see them or add there religions to the public calindar
they will never have to worry about abuse or blasphy agaist there believes...they simple
be and embrace in private,they are not ashamed or hiding by they hold what they do as
sacred to them and there's...
this is my point of my post."

Imperative to the Spiritual Connection In the


physical experience

Imperative to the Spiritual Connection

In the physical experience there are often times when its thickness of the energy
becomes unbearable. No matter which way one turns a dead end of impasse greets
them.
Many become tired by the pressure needed to push through. Giving up becomes a
standard choice at each apparent dead end.
A sense of great loneliness appears, as one who tries to get through struggles against
the difficult energy.
It takes a lot of focus to live at this time in the linear. We caution that during such
intensity it is also prudent to allow spirit to engage you as well. It may feel awkward to
focus and release seemingly at the same time, however, it an attainable endeavor.
From a spiritual perspective the flow of energy needs to maintain fluidity to have the
proper impact. It is important to focus, but the allowance of the energy flow is
imperative to the spiritual connection.
We realize we repeat often the need for the spiritual relationship. It will be repeated
until all find their place in the soulful connection moment. Sometimes consistency of
loving statements are required when one is faced with difficulty in the linear.

Spirit reaches towards you at all times. Allow your self to reach back while
thoughtfully focusing in your life.

At the end of the experience it will be the connecting moments that are most vivid in
memory.

SNOWFLAKES

Snowflakes

Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand


Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winter's night.
Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake, a falling star
Smiling beauty that is spun afar.

Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand


Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT COMMITMENT


Posted by Rui pedro Calado Filipe
We suggest that you make a one hundred percent commitment, whatever course you
choose, to open to your own healing power. You do not have to believe that you will
be successful in eliminating your disease. You cannot know that in advance anyway,
but that is not part of the commitment, which is simply to open to your healing power,
and finding out what it does. Until you have the experience, it is all theory. Knowing
that someone else healed himself of a so-called fatal disease does you no good unless
you find out for yourself if that is possible for you. How do you open to your healing
power? Make the commitment one hundred percent, and you will be guided. There
are many techniques you can use, but techniques alone do not do the job. It is your
intent to heal that is central. You will not have the intent if you do not first have the
commitment.

We are not suggesting that you try to do more than you can do and overexert yourself.
There are many things you can do to support your healing, and you should do
everything you can. But your commitment is not to doing, primarily, but to opening to
your healing power, which you can let happen all the time. Out of that commitment
you will naturally choose those techniques that will best support what your healing
power is working on at any given time.

When you cut your finger and it heals, how does that happen? Does the bandage you
put on it heal it? How about the antiseptic--does that heal it? Who heals your finger?
You do. Your healing power heals your finger, although the bandage and antiseptic
may support that healing. Support your healing in any way you can that feels right to
you. If you listen in your heart, you will know the best way for you to do that at any
given time. You can meditate, visualize, do affirmations, and pay attention to your
breathing. You can improve your nutrition so that your healing power has some more
raw materials. You can receive ozone therapy, acupuncture, and other holistic
therapies. You can receive additional healing energy through energetic healers using
techniques such as Reiki and Johrei. You can work with a therapist to explore and
release your blocks.

You can use crystals to cleanse your atmosphere and promote conducive vibrations.
Healing your body is your full-time "job" at this time. However, you do not need to try
to do everything, because it is not fundamentally a matter of techniques; it is a matter
of opening to your healing energy in everything you do.

The reason your body is not healed now is that various things have distracted you
from concentrating on your own healing energy--your pain, your fears, and so forth.
That is understandable, but it is in your best interests to learn to concentrate on
receiving your healing energy, even while you are undergoing medical treatment.

Almost everyone has a part of himself that would rather die than accept full
responsibility for living.

A strong desire to live, even if it is unconscious and is somewhat interfered with by


the conscious mind, can keep a person's body alive when it otherwise would not
survive. A fully conscious commitment to living is all the stronger.

You cannot expect to reach a high level of spiritual attainment overnight, but you can
firmly plant yourself on the path. Struggling, trying too hard, judging yourself about
not being where you want to be, or "fighting your way to the top," as they say, do not
aid inner attainment; on the contrary, they get in the way. However, full commitment
is necessary.
Your primary responsibility is not first and foremost to do anything. It is to be, to be
the healing source you are. It is easy to be. It is sometimes hard to do, especially when
the doing does not spring from being.

See yourself as a person who is taking primary responsibility for healing himself,
someone whose healing power is always flowing. For instance, when you feel pain in
your arm, think of yourself as someone who is healing his arm. The opposite of that is
feeling like a helpless victim, which, of course, detracts from healing.
Love and light to al!

PRECIOUS SILENCE
Posted by Michael Forbus
Precious Silence
Those who are fond of retreatswriters, ecstatics, parents with young children
often comment on the silence such time away allows. Silence becomes something
present, almost palpable. The task shifts from keeping the world at a safe decible
distance to letting more of the world in. Thomas Aquinas said that beauty arrests
motion. He meant, I think, that in the presence of something gorgeous or sublime, we
stop our nervous natterings, our foot twitchings and restless tongues. Whatever that
fretful hunger is, it seems momentarily filled in the presence of beauty. To Aquinass
wisdom Id add that silence arrests flight, that in its refuge, the need to flee the chaos
of noise diminishes. We let the world creep closer, we drop to our knees, as if to let
the heart, like a small animal, get its legs on the ground.

- Barbara Hurd, "On Silence" (Summer 2001)


------------------------------------------Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging
waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way,
meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just
follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you....

~Sheng-yen
-------------------------------------------Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with
abandon.
Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what
you love. Love as if this is all there is.
-MARY ANNE RADMACHER

Take some time!!!


Posted by Rui pedro Calado Filipe

Take some timeto meditate, pray upon and contemplate what is next. If you are unsure
of what is the next best step for youto take, consult an expert who can assist you in
seeing the bigger picture that is in front of you. Your Angels can assist with endevour,
however if you are not sure or completely trust what you receive, then find a human
angel you trust.

Do not be afraid of making the wrong decision, for their is never truly a wrong stepto
take. Angel wisdom reminds you that making no decision is the same as sayingto the
Universe that you want for everythingto stay the same, and that is the energy that you
will attract. Few things are as powerful as focued intent, visualize it, feel it and it will
come.

Seek the Divine within every situation and this cultivates the quality of joy and
become aware of the wonder of creation and let joy, one of the highest qualities you
can vibrateto. Delight in everything. Enjoy the process of creation and enjoy life.

Affirmation: "I see the joy in every step of creating that which I desire. I can always
choose again."

Your are dearly loved, the Angels
