<li>Ongoing feelings of physical, mental, or emotional discomfort.</li>
<li>Recently went through a major transition: a divorce, a move, a change in employment.</li>
<li>Have a chronic physical condition that refuses to yield to treatment.</li>
<li>Have various stress related symptoms.</li>
<li>Feel drained of energy.</li>
<li>Have associated long-term with negative people.</li>
</ul>
<p>Aura clearing (cleaning) is vital to your personal and spiritual growth! Your aura, the field of energy that surrounds your body, needs to occasionally be detoxified and healed of the damage that accumulates over time. In some cases, people carry this damage from past lifetimes. Regardless of the cause of this damage, a toxic aura can negatively affect your thoughts, feelings and attitudes to a point that is destructive to your well-being. The good news is that this harmful damage can easily be erased, setting you free from the prison of self-limitation.</p>
<h3>Aurapathic Survey: How An Aura Is Cleared</h3>
<p>To effectively clear an aura, I first seek out and list the types of negative or toxic energy that is lodged in the auric field. These can be negative thought forms, anger spears, dark entities, addiction entities, old attitudes and emotions that have become toxic, hexes, curses, and open portalways in the subconscious. These have to be identified in order to be removed. In addition to clearing , I also determine to what arch angel realm the individual belongs, where their soul originated, and whether they have one or two God sparks. I determine the number of their spirit guides and which arch angel energies they bring to the individual. The aura is then cleared and shields are placed around the individual for their protection.</p>
<h2>Signs That You May Need A House Or Business Clearing (Called a Geopathic Survey):</h2>
<ul>
<li>Feelings of unease inside the dwelling.</li>
<li>Feeling that someone or something is watching you.</li>
<li>Feeling of evil or fear while in the dwelling.</li>
<li> Unexplained things happening (noises, things/furniture moving, flashes of light or shadows).</li>
<li>Unable to sleep or work in a particular location.</li>
<li>Feeling drained whenever inside the dwelling.</li>
<li>Frequent sickness in the home or business.</li>
<li>Ghost or negative entity activity creating havoc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Just imagine the buildup of negative energy inside certain homes or businesses due to past events at those locations, various people who once lived or worked there, and residue from negative people simply passing through. Many times, you can actually feel the denseness of the low energy when you enter such a dwelling. This is because negative energy can stick and linger inside such places like a kind of toxic waste that just floats around creating havoc. And, as if this wasn&#8217;t enough to be concerned about, buildings are also frequented by ghosts, earthbound spirits and poltergeists that may also need to be cleared. The good news here is that the clearing is instantaneous, everything unwanted is cleaned out at the time of the clearing.</p>
<h3>Geopathic Survey: How Home Or Business Energy Is Cleared</h3>
<p>Clearing buildings (geopathic survey) is similar to an aurapathic survey, except the focus is a building not a person, usually an individual&#8217;s home and the land upon which it sits, although I have frequently done barns, warehouses, factories, office buildings, and automobiles. In this case, in addition to negative thought forms and entities, I look for earthbound spirits, ghosts, poltergeists, gateways and gatekeepers. I also check for ley lines and battleground activity. The building and objects, such as furniture within the building are then cleared in the same way as the aura, by connecting to the appropriate arch angel realm. If you are an antique collector you may have acquired a good bit of negative energy along with the item. Your collectors item may be broadcasting negative energy into your home. Even a new pair of shoes will carry the energy, for better or worse, of the various individuals who handled it during manufacture.</p>
<h2>Understanding Energy Clearing: Aurapathic And Geopathic Surveys</h2>
<h3>The Aura</h3>
<p>An aura is a luminous energy field that surrounds both animate and inanimate bodies. Everything and everybody has an auric field. The human aura is composed of Universal Energy collected by the individual for her/his life support and soul purposes.</p>
<p>Over ninety world cultures recognize the auric field and many esoteric disciplines have described the aura of human beings in great detail. After 1900 a variety of medical doctors in America and Europe began to study the human aura. This led to actual measurement of the auric field. Now the aura can even be photographed. This is called Kirlian photography.</p>
<h3>The Seven Layers Of The Aura</h3>
<p>The human aura has been divided into different, but interrelated bodies or layers. These layers surround each other and at the same time, blend with each other. Each successive layer vibrates at a more refined rate than the preceding layer. Each layer has a specific function.</p>
<p>Layer one relates to physical functions and is closest to the physical body. Layer two relates to emotions. Layer three relates to mental activity. Layer four relates to the ability to love. Layer five refers to the will, especially Divine Will, and the power of speech. Layer number six relates to Universal Love encompassing all life. And layer number seven of the aura refers to the Higher Mind. These layers are surrounded and encompassed by a web of energy sometimes called the Golden Web.</p>
<p>As we progress in consciousness from the first layer to the seventh, we become increasingly more spiritualized beings and our awareness becomes more and more expanded. Most remain in the consciousness of layers one through three and spend a lot of time working on layer four, the ability to love. Levels one through three combined are called the personal level. Levels four through seven are called the transpersonal level. Level four, the love/inspirational level, is a critical level in spiritual growth. It is the transition point where one develops one hundred percent capacity to love, and at the same time develops the capacity to fully function on intangible levels of awareness.</p>
<p>Once we have integrated the lower layers with the higher layers we have taken ourselves beyond duality and have become truly whole, and have laid claim to all, not just part of ourselves. Good health occurs when there is unity of purpose between the lower personal levels and the upper transpersonal levels. Illness of mind, emotions or body occurs when there is conflict between the various energies and forces in the seven layers. Traditional therapeutic treatments are effective in treating physical and mental/emotional maladies. However, when these are treated only at those levels, the condition continues to exist in the more finely vibrating levels and is likely to manifest again if not cleared from the aura.</p>
<h3>Clearing The Aura From A Distance</h3>
<p>Absentee auric clearing is done through a system called radionics and through psychic dowsing. Radionics is the projection of a set of coded instructions, which are formulated to be received and acted upon by the various levels of the auric field of the client in order to bring the aura into a state of harmony.</p>
<p>The psychic dowser, using a pendulum, can locate various types of negative energy existing within the human aura and connect with and project appropriate universal energy into the client&#8217;s aura to clear it of toxic energy lodged there. It is a matter of record that the 19th century monks used this method for medical dowsing. The effectiveness of this technique will depend upon the practitioner&#8217;s level of personal development, knowledge, ability to access and direct Universal Energy, and his/her ability to extricate them self from their own personal ego.</p>
<p>It will be useful here to say a word or two about dowsing. Dowsing is searching for anything by projecting an intent of what is desired and receiving confirmation or feedback through the body, usually by the movements of a dowsing instrument. It is sometimes described as a form of clairvoyance. I personally use a crystal pendulum. Dowsing is a spiritual practice, the success of which depends upon a divine state of mind. In my practice I work directly with the seven archangel realms.</p>
<h3>How An Aura Is Cleared</h3>
<p>To effectively clear an aura, I first seek out and list the types of negative or toxic energy that is lodged in the auric field. These can be negative thought forms, anger spears, dark entities, addiction entities, old attitudes and emotions that have become toxic, hexes, curses, and open portalways in the subconscious. These have to be identified in order to be removed. In addition to clearing , I also determine to what arch angel realm the individual belongs, where their soul originated, and whether they have one or two God sparks. I determine the number of their spirit guides and which arch angel energies they bring to the individual. The aura is then cleared and shields are placed around the individual for their protection.</p>
<p>Many of symptoms that require clearing are related to having no shields, which make you highly susceptible to the stresses of every day life. Once you aura is cleared, shields are always put in place. Often the source of discomfort may be past life issues. These will be examined, if requested. To clear your aura I will need your full birth name, birth date, and address. To clear a building, I will need the address, owner&#8217;s name, and a description of the property. All work is done at a distance. Those are the basics. If you wish to give more information in regard to personal matters, please feel free to do so. All information is held in the strictest confidence.</p>
<h2>How A Building (Home or Business) Is Cleared</h2>
<p>Clearing buildings (geopathic survey) is similar to an aurapathic survey, except the focus is a building not a person, usually an individual&#8217;s home and the land upon which it sits, although I have frequently done barns, warehouses, factories, office buildings, and automobiles. In this case, in addition to negative thought forms and entities, I look for earthbound spirits, ghosts, poltergeists, gateways and gatekeepers. I also check for ley lines and battleground activity.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Introduction to the Emerald Tablets Of Thoth</h2>
<p>The history of the tablets translated in the following pages is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years B.C. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country.</p>
<p>He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.</p>
<p>For some 16,000 years, he ruled the ancient race of Egypt, from approximately 52,000 B.C. to 36,000 B.C. At that time, the ancient barbarous race among which he and his followers had settled had been raised to a high degree of civilization.</p>
<p>Thoth was an immortal, that is, he had conquered death, passing only when he willed and even then not through death. His vast wisdom made him ruler over the various Atlantean colonies, including the ones in South and Central America.</p>
<p>When the time came for him to leave Egypt, he erected the Great Pyramid over the entrance to the Great Halls of Amenti, placed in it his records, and appointed guards for his secrets from among the highest of his people.</p>
<p>In later times, the descendants of these guards became the pyramid priests, by which Thoth was deified as the God of Wisdom, The Recorder, by those in the age of darkness which followed his passing. In legend, the Halls of Amenti became the underworld, the Halls of the gods, where the soul passed after death for judgment.</p>
<p>During later ages, the ego of Thoth passed into the bodies of men in the manner described in the tablets. As such, he incarnated three times, in his last being known as Hermes, the thrice-born.</p>
<p>In this incarnation, he left the writings known to modern occultists as the Emerald Tablets, a later and far lesser exposition of the ancient mysteries.</p>
<p>The tablets translated in this work are ten which were left in the Great Pyramid in the custody of the pyramid priests. The ten are divided into thirteen parts for the sake of convenience.</p>
<p>The last two are so great and far-reaching in their import that at present it is forbidden to release them to the world at large. However, in those contained herein are secrets which will prove of inestimable value to the serious student.</p>
<p>They should be read, not once, but a hundred times for only thus can the true meaning be revealed. A casual reading will give glimpses of beauty, but more intensive study will open avenues of wisdom to the seeker.</p>
<p>But now a word as to how these mighty secrets came to be revealed to modern man after being hidden so long.</p>
<p>Some thirteen hundred years B.C., Egypt, the ancient Khem, was in turmoil and many delegations of priests were sent to other parts of the world.</p>
<p>Among these were some of the pyramid priests who carried with them the Emerald Tablets as a talisman by which they could exercise authority over the less advanced priest-craft of races descended from other Atlantean colonies.</p>
<p>The tablets were understood from legend to give the bearer authority from Thoth.</p>
<p>The particular group of priests bearing the tablets emigrated to South America where they found a flourishing race, the Mayas who remembered much of the ancient wisdom.</p>
<p>Among these, the priests settled and remained. In the tenth century, the Mayas had thoroughly settled the Yucatan, and the tablets were placed beneath the altar of one of the great temples of the Sun God.</p>
<p>After the conquest of the Mayas by the Spaniards, the cities were abandoned and the treasures of the temples forgotten.</p>
<p>It should be understood that the Great Pyramid of Egypt has been and still is a temple of initiation into the mysteries. Jesus, Solomon, Apollonius and others were initiated there.</p>
<p>The writer (who has a connection with the Great White Lodge which also works through the pyramid priesthood) was instructed to recover and return to the Great Pyramid the ancient tablets.</p>
<p>This, after adventures which need not be detailed here, was accomplished. Before returning them, he was given permission to translate and retain a copy of the wisdom engraved on the tablets.</p>
<p>This was done in 1925 and only now has permission been given for part to be published. It is expected that many will scoff. Yet the true student will read between the lines and gain wisdom.</p>
<p>If the light is in you, the light which is engraved in these tablets will respond.</p>
<p>Now, a word as to the material aspect of the tablets.</p>
<p>They consist of twelve tablets of emerald green, formed from a substance created through alchemical transmutation.</p>
<p>They are imperishable, resistant to all elements and substances. In effect, the atomic and cellular structure is fixed, no change ever taking place.</p>
<p>In this respect, they violate the material law of ionization.</p>
<p>Upon them are engraved characters in the ancient Atlantean language: characters which respond to attuned thought waves, releasing the associated mental vibration in the mind of the reader.</p>
<p>The tablets are fastened together with hoops of golden-colored alloy suspended from a rod of the same material. So much for the material appearance.</p>
<p>The wisdom contained therein is the foundation of the ancient mysteries. And for the one who reads with open eyes and mind, his wisdom shall be increased a hundred-fold.</p>
<p>Read. Believe or not, but read. And the vibration found therein will awaken a response in your soul.</p>
<p>In the following pages, I will reveal some of the mysteries which as yet have only been touched upon lightly either by myself or other teachers or students of truth.</p>
<p>Man&#8217;s search for understanding of the laws which regulate his life has been unending, yet always just beyond the veil which shields the higher planes from material man&#8217;s vision the truth has existed, ready to be assimilated by those who enlarge their vision by turning inward, not outward, in their search.</p>
<p>In the silence of material senses lies the key to the unveiling of wisdom. He who talks does not know; he who knows does not talk.</p>
<p>The highest knowledge is unutterable, for it exists as an entity in lanes which transcend all material words or symbols.</p>
<p>All symbols are but keys to doors leading to truths, and many times the door is not opened because the key seems so great that the things which are beyond it are not visible.</p>
<p>If we can understand that all keys, all material symbols are manifestations, are but extensions of a great law and truth, we will begin to develop the vision which will enable us to penetrate beyond the veil.</p>
<p>All things in all universes move according to law, and the law which regulates the movement of the planets is no more immutable than the law which regulates the material expressions of man.</p>
<p>One of the greatest of all Cosmic Laws is that which is responsible for the formation of man as a material being.</p>
<p>The great aim of the mystery schools of all ages has been to reveal the workings of the Law which connect man the material and man the spiritual.</p>
<p>The connecting link between the material man and the spiritual man is the intellectual man, for the mind partakes of both the material and immaterial qualities.</p>
<p>The aspirant for higher knowledge must develop the intellectual side of his nature and so strengthen his will that is able to concentrate all powers of his being on and in the plane he desires.</p>
<p>The great search for light, life and love only begins on the material plane. Carried to its ultimate, its final goal is complete oneness with the universal consciousness. The foundation in the material is the first step; then comes the higher goal of spiritual attainment.</p>
<p>In the following pages, I will give an interpretation of the Emerald Tablets and their secret, hidden and esoteric meanings.</p>
<p>Concealed in the words of Thoth are many meanings that do not appear on the surface.</p>
<p>Light of knowledge brought to bear upon the Tablets will open many new fields for thought.</p>
<p>&#8220;Read and be wise&#8221; but only if the light of your own consciousness awakens the deep-seated understanding which is an inherent quality of the soul.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Through The Gates Of Gold by Mable Collins - Introduction]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Through the Gates of Gold &#8211; written in 1887 by Mable Collins</em></p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Once, as I sat alone writing, a mysterious Visitor entered my study, unannounced, and stood beside me. I forgot to ask who he was or why he entered so unceremoniously, for he began to tell me of the Gates of Gold. He spoke from knowledge, and from the fire of his speech I caught faith. I have written down his words; but, alas, I cannot hope that the fire shall burn so brightly in my writing as in his speech&#8221;. &#8211; Mable Collins. </em></p></blockquote>
<p><a name="prologue"></a><strong>Prologue</strong></p>
<p>Every man has a philosophy of life of his own, except the true philosopher. The most ignorant boor has some conception of his object in living, and definite ideas as to the easiest and wisest way of attaining that object. The man of the world is often, unconsciously to himself, a philosopher of the first rank. He deals with his life on principles of the clearest character, and refuses to let his position be shattered by chance disaster. The man of thought and imagination has less certainty, and finds himself continually unable to formulate his ideas on that subject most profoundly interesting to human nature, &#8211; human life itself.</p>
<p>The true philosopher is the one who would lay no claim to the name whatever, who has discovered that the mystery of life is unapproachable by ordinary thought, just as the true scientist confesses his complete ignorance of the principles which lie behind science.</p>
<p>Whether there is any mode of thought or any effort of the mind which will enable a man to grasp the great principles that evidently exist as causes in human life, is a question no ordinary thinker can determine. Yet the dim consciousness that there is cause behind the effects we see, that there is order ruling the chaos and sublime harmony pervading the discords, haunts the eager souls of the earth, and makes them long for vision of the unseen and knowledge of the unknowable.</p>
<p>Why long and look for that which is beyond all hope until the inner eyes are opened? Why not piece together the fragments that we have at hand, and see whether from them some shape cannot be given to the vast puzzle?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The source of your creativity comes from the stars. As they send out the energy of their beings you are the recipient. The stars, in their ever evolving nature, provide a constant source of energy so that you may create within the Earth plane. The stars are your cosmic siblings and work with you to further your spiritual growth as a creator. On Earth, you forget your heritage and your profound ability to create. Think of the stars and the force of energy they contain and know that you too are of the same energy and with the same power to create.</p>
<p>It is time to remember who you are and where you came from. You are a being of light with the ability to create all and experience all within the universe. Think about creation as the joy and wonderment it is meant to be. The possibilities of creation are endless. While on Earth, you forget the power of what can be created. Every spark of energy is all-knowing and has the capability to become all that is desired. The real you is a collection of energy; therefore, you are all-knowing and have unlimited capacity to create.</p>
<p>On Earth, so many of you do not believe you are made of energy, nor do you believe that your ability to create is unlimited. I suggest that the first step in becoming more aware of your natural creation abilities is to become closer to and more conscious of your inner-self. This connection will help you to break down the barriers that keep you a non-believer.  Sometimes it is difficult to take new information purely on faith, and that is common for many people. People often look for proof or scientific information before they can believe. There is scientific data available that can help you understand some things about energy and the universe. Exploring topics on quantum physics (the study of matter at the atomic level) and cosmology (the metaphysical study of the origin and nature of the universe) will help you gain some insight and expand your awareness.</p>
<p>Many books have been written in every-day language, rather than scientific jargon, that are easy to understand.  Reading what scientists have proven to be true, have demonstrated through experimentation or accepted theory helps you to open your mind to the possible. You may not understand all that is presented to you, but at least you should understand that much scientific knowledge has been discovered even though the general public may not be aware of it. Another way to become more knowledgeable about the universe and scientific discovery is the many television programs that are carried such cannels as the Science Channel, National Geographic, or Discovery Channel. Remember that whatever vehicle you choose; the purpose is to help open your mind about energy and the universe. When you begin to understand that the possibilities are endless, your creativity is unleashed.</p>
<p>You are unknowingly creating every minute of your life, but you are likely stuck in automatic mode which does not require any new input. This results in you choosing the same experience again and again. You truly create every aspect of your life. Shouldn’t you make the most of your creations since they affect your day-to-day feelings and experiences?  Build your awareness by:  Being conscious of the choices you make, your energy level, and your feelings so that you can begin to see how a set of different choices and feelings would have created a different experience.  Most people’s creations are rarely on a grand scale, but rather more at the local level.  You create your experiences which in turn affects those around you whether it is your family, friends, or coworkers. You can create harmony or chaos, happiness or sadness, or anger or forgiveness.  At each moment the choice is yours.</p>
<p>To take your awareness of creation to the next level you will need to spend time in thought and in meditation. At the end of the day review your choices and actions and ask yourself: Was I conscious of this choice? Why did I make the choice I did? What other choices were available to me? What are the things that I could have created? When in meditation, look deeply within yourself and explore how often you consciously create your experience. Analyze what stops you from utilizing conscious creation and visualize how an experience might have changed if you were conscious of your power to create.  Apply what you learn and little-by-little you will see a change in the experiences you create.</p>
<p>The world does not just happen around you. You are the one who is in control by what you choose to create.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cities contain energy from the earth, buildings, past events that have transpired within them and the people who live there. The energy of where we live affects us. We may find ourselves living in an area that brings us joy every day, or we may feel continuously unhappy or disconnected from the world around us. We don’t very often look to the energy of where we live as having an influence on our energy levels and feelings.</p>
<p>I travel for my work and have the opportunity to experience the energy of many cities. Some cities have profound impacts on how I feel. San Francisco, for instance, makes me feel uncomfortable and I just can’t wait to leave. Paris on the other hand makes me feel tranquil and happy. I know people, with high awareness, who can stay in Sedona, Arizona no more than a couple of hours because the energy is so strong. I suggest you spend some time thinking about the cities or towns you have visited or lived in, and see if you can define how the energy made you feel.</p>
<p>The energy of where you vacation also tells you something about your energy. Perhaps you are the kind of person who likes to vacation by sitting on the beach, relaxing with a good book and taking it easy. You need to feel soothing energy. Other people recharge by taking in new and exciting activities, maybe deep sea fishing, or parachuting out of an airplane. These people need stimulating energy to help recharge their energy. There are some people who find that they get bored if they stay in the same place for a whole vacation. Usually these people’s energy has a high vibration level and they need the vibrant energy often found in big cities or the excitement of seeing and learning about new things. Constant moving and big cities may sound counter intuitive when thinking about vacations, but it’s all about your energy.</p>
<p>Also, for many of us as we grow and change, we feel the urge to pull up stakes and live in another area. This urge comes about because you no longer match the energy of where you are living. You have outgrown it, and you are being urged to another place where the energy you need will be available to aid your continuing growth. These feelings are very similar to how we can outgrow our friends because they no longer help provide the experiences we need for our growth.</p>
<p>Thinking about the energy of the city you live in or the places you visit helps you to better understand your own energy and what you need to support your spiritual growth and awareness. The more we are aware the more easily we can see ourselves in our environment and understand our needs. Most people think that inanimate objects like buildings, stone, wood, etc. are not composed of energy. This is an incorrect assumption. Everything from people, animals, rock or buildings are composed of energy, and all energy has intelligence.</p>
<p>This concept is difficult to understand until you have reached a well-developed level of awareness. Exploring and gaining information about energy has a direct bearing on expanding your knowledge and awareness. There are many user friendly books about quantum physics. Learning about this branch of physics can be helpful when exploring energy.</p>
<p>Try an experiment, visit a location in your city, suspend your beliefs about objects not having energy and open yourself up to the energy that surrounds you. Take writing materials and jot down a description of the location in as much detail as you can. Next examine how you feel in this place. Just write, don’t really think about it. Repeat this check of your feelings several times and add the time of each checkpoint. Try repeating the exercise in different locations and explore why you felt the same or differently. Try this while on vacation or when you visit other areas. You will be surprised by what you uncover.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to share with you a couple of my experiences with crystals. When I first started my spiritual learning I attended a class about crystals. The session leader was informative and provided a very comfortable environment but this was my first adventure into crystals and I still wasn’t sure what I believed. During a break several woman were looking at a crystal and making comments about how strong its energy was. I was offered a turn to feel it for myself. Well as you might guess, I didn’t feel anything and was beginning to think these people were maybe a little odd.</p>
<p>Over time I did get much better acquainted with crystals and as you become more open you will be able to feel the energy that the crystal gives off. Some crystals have very powerful energy fields so as your ability to perceive energy strengthens it is important to approach the crystal with caution. Very strong energy can cause a shock to you system and may cause you to feel unwell.</p>
<p>My other interesting experience with a crystal, that taught me a great deal, happened while I was meditating. I was living in the Northwest at the time, but felt a very strong pull to the Southwest. While I was meditating I was holding a Herkimer diamond (see picture below) in my hand. I had a vision of myself standing on a mountain top looking over the desert. At that moment the crystal broke into three pieces. That was a pretty strong affirmation that I needed to be in the Southwest.</p>
<p>As your experience grows it is common for certain crystals to reach out to you. You may have a feeling that shopping for crystals would be fun, or sometimes when in a crystal store you may gravitate to one special crystal. The crystal that is reaching out to you holds energy that would be good for you to work with. Crystals hold the information from throughout the ages and we have the ability to access that data. A modern day example is the man made crystals that are used in electronics to store volumes of information.</p>
<p>Crystals have much to share with us. Experiment with different kinds of crystals and experience the energy of each. Crystals can be our partners and help us to grow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your physical and spiritual bodies should be in balance so that you will have an optimal learning experience while on Earth. Balance in this connotation is not staying upright and being able to walk a straight line, but rather keeping your chakras open to receive the universal life force. Understanding and using the light that surrounds you is a key to providing energy balance throughout your body.</p>
<p>Your body is surrounded by energy that appears in different colors. Many people can actually see this energy which is referred to as an aura. The colors in your aura should be clear and bright and will change throughout the day depending on your mood, feelings, or mind set. Some of you who are holding onto anger and pain may have dark or muddy colors. Your aura will remain muddy until your state of negativity and suppressed emotions, fears and pain are released back into the universe.</p>
<p>Picture your chakras as whirling colors of bright energy that act as gateways for the intake of life source energy. If any chakra is blocked you can feel unbalanced or unwell. Below are the color and location of each chakra and an abbreviated explanation of how a blocked chakra can make you feel.</p>
<p>• The Root or Base Chakra is red and located at the base of the spine. This chakra assists with tasks related to the material and physical world. When blocked you may feel fatigue, have lower back pain, or frequent colds.</p>
<p>• The Spleen Chakra is orange and located below the naval in the lower abdomen. The Spleen Chakra connects us to our sensing abilities and issues related to feelings. When blocked you may experience asthma, allergies, urinary problems or sensuality issues.</p>
<p>• The Solar Plexus Chakra is yellow and located above the naval in the stomach area. This chakra balances intellect and ego power. If blocked you may have digestive problems, ulcers, diabetes, or nervousness.</p>
<p>• The Heart Chakra is green and located in the center of the chest. It controls relationships, love, forgiveness and compassion. If blocked you may experience heart and breathing disorders, high blood pressure, or muscular tension.</p>
<p>• The Throat Chakra is blue and is located in the throat area. The throat chakra controls expressing oneself and one’s beliefs, trust, and loyalty. If blocked you may experience thyroid imbalance, swollen glands, fevers and infections.</p>
<p>• The Third Eye Chakra is indigo and is located in the middle of the forehead between the eyes. It controls trusting one’s intuition and insights and developing one’s psychic abilities. If blocked you may have mouth, jaw, tongue, neck and shoulder problems, hyperactivity or hormonal disorders.</p>
<p>• The Crown Chakra is purple and is located at the top of the head. It controls our knowingness, dedication to the divine consciousness and trusting the universe. If blocked you can experience headaches, photosensitivity, neuralgia, right/left brain disorders and coordination problems.</p>
<p>To keep your aura bright and clear, work with the chakra colors. Each day pick a color and confirm your intention to be aware throughout your day. Often, we subconsciously choose which color and hence which chakra we should actively balance. If the color of your clothes and the food choices you make throughout the day are all one color this can be a subtle hint that a certain chakra needs some attention. Pay attention to these signs because they are like an early warning system. Throughout your day as you take note of your chosen color, say to yourself, “I release all fear, pain and repressed emotions with love into the universe. “</p>
<p>Chakra balancing is especially good during meditation because you can focus your energy more easily. To start, slowly examine each chakra to determine if it could use a little more attention than a general balancing exercise. If extra attention is needed, visualize the chakra color and ask “what will bring this chakra into balance?” Focus on resolving the blockage. Examine your emotions, your thoughts, your fears and allow yourself to affirm your awareness of the issue. Infuse the chakra with bright white light and then consciously release the suppressed energy back into the universe. In some cases this cannot be accomplished during one meditation session. You should not worry about that; instead know that with each meditation you are working towards total release.</p>
<p>Each meditation should include a review of your chakras. If extra chakra work is not needed, start your review with your base chakra. Focus on the color, which in this case is red and with clear intent say “My base chakra is in balance and can receive the love of the universe.” Move up through each chakra repeating the same process.</p>
<p>Several good books have been written about chakras and I recommend that you check in your library, bookstore, or on electronic media to learn more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We live in our mind with all its limitations, ideas and thoughts and most of us feel very comfortable there. Some of us live with a brief glimpse of our spirit, but many of us never see it at all. Knowing our spirit and blending it with our mind opens many possibilities in life.</p>
<p>Our thoughts are real. As real the electronic device you are reading this on. What we THINK shapes our life. If we think that life is not going well, that we will never succeed in our endeavors, or never find true love then that is what we create. The opposites (life is great, being successful, or finding your true love) can never get to you because your thoughts have set up a barrier.</p>
<p>You have probably heard about thinking positive thoughts and how important this is if you want good change in your life. Breaking down the barriers of your thoughts takes a little more than just positive thoughts. What does “positive thoughts” really mean?</p>
<p>To apply this positive thoughts concept we must examine our thoughts and identify the opposite of what is being expressed and then apply the positive result to our thinking.</p>
<p>Here is an exercise to try. It takes some effort but can open the door to understanding how your daily thoughts are hindering your success. Catalog your thoughts over several days by jotting down notes about your thoughts as often as you can. It’s hard to do but be persistent. Include all kinds of thoughts; don’t try to pick and choose those you think may be the troublesome ones.</p>
<p>Next it will be important to review what you have captured and spend some time letting the list percolate for a few days. Next start a new list of your thoughts about your original list. I know it sounds kind of confusing, but you are trying to get to a deeper understanding of your day-to-day thoughts.</p>
<p>To get down to a core thought barrier you will need to do some form of introspection during which time you allow yourself to reach out to your spirit. If you are not familiar with meditation, just simply sit in a quiet place and ask your spirit to assist you with this discovery process. Don’t enter this process thinking it will only take one session. It may, but not likely. Be patient!</p>
<p>Once you understand what the basis of your negative thought process is, you will have a base upon which you can build positive thoughts. Here’s a suggested approach for you to consider. You should compose a positive phrase such as “I appreciate the views of others even when I disagree.” The negative thought would be “what a jerk” after your conversation. It is not enough to simply repeat your mantra to yourself during the day. To make a change you will have to catch yourself thinking in your old way and apply your mantra immediately. This step will plant your new way of thinking and allow the change.</p>
<p>It takes time, commitment, and patience to make this kind of change but the result is well worth the effort. An important aspect of making a successful change is to rely on your spirit to provide guidance and support. The more you open to your spirit the easier the change will be. If you meditate daily, keep at it. If you don’t know how to meditate look for a class to take or purchase some guided meditation CDs. Also, you might want to read my article Start a Spiritual Journey.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>There seems to be alot of debate over the possibilty of doing tarot card reading over the internet and even the authenticity of a tarot reading being possible or accurate.</h2>
<p>I feel invoked to shed some light on this debate from someone who has used and seen tarot work magic over the last twenty years.</p>
<p>Tarot, magic and metaphysics have been around for yonks. They have been a significant part of ancient lifetyles, cultures and communities; bringing lucid insight, useful information and have impacted social, industrial and ecological progress, in periods long forgotten.</p>
<p>They are not such a mystery, have been around for years and there is ample historical article and documentary to validate this.<br />
I do tarot over the internet and I beleive it is possible. Tarot readers use devination to read the cards.</p>
<p>Quantum physics, spritual leaders and common people alike have demonstrated over many centuries the posibilities and even evidence of unexplainable phenomena. We do not have to know each other or have met each other to be able to step into or tap into energy that we are all connected by.</p>
<p>We accept common occurances of insight and telepathy (for example, when we are thinking of someone and they call or arrive at your door step) as coincedence.</p>
<p>The most important thing is some people are genuinely practiced or able to use thier psychic gift, but thier are alot of people just making money out of it online. It is hard to find a genuine one but they are out there.</p>
<p>Tarot will always tell you what you need to know. It usually shows past actions/situations/images, current consequnces and future occurances/events based on the prior and/or current directions/situations surrounding you. It is not limited to this. But, often this is how it works to guide you – as this is the simplest method for us to understand sufficiently what it is trying to convey.</p>
<p>Reading tarot will pick up energies that have and are forming and the natural progress of these energies as they move into the future. However, ALWAYS, free will can effect your future.</p>
<p>Generally if I see something specific happen in a reading it eventualises in the persons life.<br />
The small amounts of time this has not happened, the person has changed the course of action by advice and guidance that has come up in the reading.</p>
<p>It may be that the Tarot cards will not forecast your future. Your future is not alway set in stone. Depending on the choices and decisions you make. it is possible to change a probable outcome or future event.</p>
<p>A Tarot reading can help you with these decisions and choices, it can show hidden agendas and solutions that may have been previously overlooked. A reading can reveal aspects of the problem not seen before and enhance problem solving posibilities.<br />
Good luck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The tarot was originally a playing card deck (used for card games such as Italian tarocchini) that incidentally began to be used for divination. It is believed that is was first used for this purpose in Northern Italy over 500 years ago. European cults and mystics bought it out into the public around the time of the European Renaissance.</p>
<p>The catholic church rulership deemed tarot and divination a form of witchcraft and many readers were killed and or tortured for using tarot cards for psychic or fortune telling purposes. This created a fear of tarot and divination among the masses and tarots became a thing of evilness and fear for a long time in human psychy.</p>
<p>The demise of the Catholic ruling due to Darwinism and the scientific revolution has allowed tarot to come back, as science has evolved through the study of physics and metaphysical research.Today, as we live in the technology revolution it is so accessible on the internet and beyond as s the age of spiritually is realised.<br />
Divination software (free tarot card reading) has become popular and is a fun and easy way to get answers.</p>
<p>Divination software (free tarot card reading) has become popular and is a fun and easy way to get answers. I would not use these tools as a serious directive. However, I do feel if they are treated as entertainment and fun they can be rewarding and give a basic initiation and understanding of tarot and the tarot card meanings.</p>
<p>With tarot it is always good to remember it is just a tool to connect with energy or the higher self which we are all connected to. It is not an evil or even a fearsome tool. Everyone is connected all things and all people. Look at is as connecting to a greater energy field that we rarely consciously refer to but is available to all of us at all times as we are each in and of it.</p>
<h2>Can Tarot predict future events?</h2>
<p>Tarot will always tell you what you need to know. It usually shows past actions/situations/images, current consequnces and future occurances/events based on the prior and/or current directions/situations surrounding you. It is not limited to this. But, often this is how it works to guide you &#8211; as this is the simplest method for us to understand sufficintly what it is trying to convey.</p>
<p>Reading tarot will pick up energies that have and are forming and the natural progress of these energies as they move into the future. However, ALWAYS, free will can effect your future. Generally if I see something specific happen in a reading it eventualises in the persons life. The small amounts of time this has not happened, the person has changed the course of action by advise and guidance that has come up in the reading.</p>
<p>It may be that the Tarot cards will not forecast your future. Your future is not alway set in stone. Depending on the choices and decisions you make. it is possible to change a probable outcome or future event. A Tarot reading can help you with these decisions and choices, it can show hidden agendas and solutions that may have been previously overlooked. A reading can reveal aspects of the problem not seen before and enhance problem solving posibilities.</p>
