Candle Burning To Petition The Male Saints
Last NAN I explained how to petition the female Saints with special requests. This time around I'll provide some instruction on how to ask to be put in the cosmic care of the Male Saints . These are very ancient pagan rituals, which have been popularized by the Christian Church. The basic methodology is to put your request under the appropriately coloured candle on the suggested day of the week along with an image of the Saint (which you can often find on the Internet) and/or a symbol or emblem that represents the Saint.Saint Anthony of PaduaOn a Tuesday burn a brown candle for special requests, a green candle for financial help or an orange candle to find a husband. St. Anthony's is a wonderworker when it comes to finding lost articles, ...(related: Spirituality)

I have chose...(related: Spirituality)

Ceromancy: The Fine Art Of Candle Reading
Lately, I have been asked a lot of questions in the Psychic Realm chatroom about "ceromancy". That is the fine art of reading a situation by studying the way a candle burns. Are the flames leaping high? Is the wax sizzling and crackling and popping? What does it mean when the flame goes out?Many people in the Realm over the last year have...(related: Spirituality)
Chakras 101
The chakras are different coloured energy centres that originate from seven different points in our body. Chakra is a Sanskrit (East Indian) word that means "Wheel". For millennia the chakras have been visualized as round balls, blossoms or spheres of light that can open, close, darken, brighten and spin! The location of each of the seven chakras represents a different aspect of human experience. Our emotions, ability to connect with others and physical health are thought to be reflected in the condition of each chakra.Seeing your own chakras requires mental focus and powers of meditation. Remember ...(related: Spirituality)
Change Your Beliefs -- Change Your Health
To many people in the Western world Metaphysical Healing is akin to voodoo, quackery, complete fantasy or lunacy. In China, Japan, India and other Eastern countries Metaphysical Healing has been the primary medical practice for thousands of years. Metaphysical Healing is becoming more recognized in the western world. However, it is primarily considered a last resort approach, whereas, in Eastern countries Western medicine is considered a las...(related: Spirituality)

Choose Life Or Death
No one, not even God can make us choose the right things. He gave us the freedom of choice where our own lives are concerned. Life is full of choices. Many of them which we assume will give us life are really only secondary to what our whole purpose is.The world tells us we need careers, we need education, we need marriage, children, we need to be able to afford the very best of what life has to offer. In other words, we need to make ourselves "feel" fulfilled, even at the expense of hurting others.But we mis...(related: Spirituality)

Christening And Baptism Favor Ideas
Baptism and christening ceremonies are an important event that signifies the start of a child's spiritual life. As a common courtesy to guests who attend these ceremonies, the parents of the child or the host of the event often obtain party favors as a gift. Here are some themes and ideas that are appropriate for these occasions:1. Cross - The holy cross is by far the most common theme for baptism and christening favors. There are many interpretations of the meaning of the cross. However, the cross is widely accepted as the sign of Christianity. Some favors with this theme are cross-shaped soap, candles engraved with the cross symbol, and chocolate bars with a cross on the customized wrapper.2. White - The color white symbolizes life, joy, happiness, and purity. Yellow is ...(related: Spirituality)

Christian Religious Addiction In Hawaii?
Surveys show that religion and spirituality play a central role in the lives of most of the population in human experience. Gallup (1989) found that 53% of the U.S. population considers religion to be very important in their life, and another 31% considered it fairly important (p. 176). The religious and spiritual dimensions of culture were found to be among the most important factors that structure human experience, beliefs, values, behavior, and illness (Browning et al., 1990; James, 1961; Krippner and Welch, 1992).Researchers however, report that some individuals have problems that concern their religion. Members of the American Psychological Ass...(related: Spirituality)

Chronic Illness: The Enemy Within
There once was a man who wanted to teach himself how to sky dive? He bought a parachute at a garage sale, leased a plane and when the time came, literally jumped into his new adventure.As the man was free-falling toward earth on his very first attempt, he pulled the ripcord only to discover it was not attached to the parachute. Looking down at his fate, he was surprised to see a woman shooting up from below with a burned-out match held between her thumb and fore-finger.As they rushed by one another, the man yelled, "Whadayaknow about parachutes?" The woman replied back, "Nothing. Whadayaknow about gas stoves?"The fable above illustrates how many Christians act when faced with life-th...(related: Spirituality)
Clear Mind, Empty Head: A Leak In Mind Like Water
There's a lot of talk in meditation circles about emptying the mind.This is a roadblock for many people. Why? Because it's counterintuitive. After all, we spend most of our waking hours filling up our minds.We go to school, we get trained, we read, we learn, we absorb information from all around us. Then someone comes along and tells us that the best thing we can do is EMPTY our mind? Why would we want to do that?Empty isn't a good thing in most cases. Empty wallet? Empty gas tank? Empty bank account? Empty restaurant? These aren't conditions we find satisfying. Mention your feelings of "emptiness" to your doctor and you may end up with a prescription for Proza...(related: Spirituality)
Coming Home
I find myself floating on a cloud as heavenly music plays.Floating on air that supports me with its love.With a sense of security and strength that makes me realize who I really am.This awareness of myself as a being of light shining ever outwards embracing all around me in love.Experiencing a solid and powerful inner peace that radiates throughout the universe.Expansive and full, beautiful and joyful, energized by the awareness that in my divinity I am a creator of my experience.
Coming To Jesus
2 Corinthians 6:17-6:17For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whomsoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. I believe that we all can live forever if we believe in Gods word and apply it to our daily existence. We can no longer as Christians live our lives next to the life stile of the un-believers. Christ told us to " Come out from among the world and be a separate people." He was not saying that we had to separate ourselves from people in general, but separate ourselves from the unrighteous life that they live.The Apostle Paul once said, "at one time we ourselves were unruly. So we all at one time or anot...(related: Spirituality)

Communion - The Key To Experiencing The Abundant Life Of God
Now, we all know that we shouldn't be lead by our emotions, right?But in saying that lies a paradox, even though we are not mean't to be lead by our emotions, in the end, we always will be.The reason is that whenever there is a struggle between will power and emotion, our emotions will win hands down every single time.Now when we know how to hook up with God and connect with him in the realm of the heart which is what communion actually is, we start learning how to use truth to change the outcome of our emotions so that we bring our emotions in line with the word of God.But on the other hand if we don't spend time;Communing with God, searching through the scriptures in the bible, and fellowshipping with God on a regular basis our emotions will not have lined up with the word of God and we will be in a place ...(related: Spirituality)
Complicated Is Born Of A Simple Thought
(Channelled)Roy, this morning in "Roy Bits," you tried to write about simple and it became more difficult as you put your thoughts on paper. What you have demonstrated is the very essence of life.A thought is simple, and it must be expressed to be actualized in physical form. It is not enough to have a thought and let it go because all thoughts are born into physical reality at some level.Physical beings are my thoughts, they are projections of me and the purpose of these projections is to recreate my thoughts into the physical realm so that the thoughts may be experienced and recreated and redefined. As the thoughts are experienced they are given a life of their own and they mutate or transform into something other than my original...(related: Spirituality)
Confessions Of A Limousine Mystic!
Observations from the Town Car... "Home James!"The bulk of driving I do is called "air porters," which are really ferrying people to and from the airport and point-to-point destinations. I have been told Limousine operators don't like to be called a "driver," but really are Chauffeurs and truly it would not be fair or even accurate to confine a Chauffeurs role to just driving.

Animal Totems - Accept The Gifts They Have To Offer You
You can think of your Animal Totems as imaginary guides on your life journey. You might also think of them as Power Animals because each one imparts a special energy, or power, to your life.By observing how each animal lived, found mates, located food and protected itself, Native Americans were able to define the animal's particular strengths and weaknesses. For example, bears hibernated during the winter, so it was said that they possessed the magic of dreams. They were also formidable foes, so Bear Energy was also about physical power and strength. It's fascinatin...(related: Spirituality)
