There are way too many things that we should be thankful about living in the present moment. We’ve heard of that statement before, “Yesterday’s a history, tomorrow a mystery. But what we have right now is a gift—that’s why it’s called “present”. Yes, the beauty of now, the gift of living in the moment. Have you ever felt a certain irony in life sometimes—that for example, when we are working, we tend to daydream about being on vacation. And when we’re basking in vacation, then we fret about our work and tasks pending on our workstations. Such silly paradox on dwelling on life’s unnecessary ironies.
My friend has accidentally died. This information was just told me yesterday by another friend who is close to her family with the same spiritual growth as she is. I was so stunned upon hearing the news. I got a delayed reaction and was not able to show any feelings right away. As my thoughts are gradually absorbing the shocking news, I was able to calm myself and have the guts to ask, “What happened?” “She was hit by a big truck in the highway as she was driving her way home”, told by our mutual friend who looks so worried than sad as she tells me this.
When we have proven something, we are then having sureness on it. It created a trust that made us believe it is worthwhile and beneficial to us for we see what it is like. We stick to that belief since we are convinced by it and we keep that to our minds until we experience something that contradicts to what we believed in. We have only seen the good side of it but the bad event let us see its bad side to which we have not known. You are then dismayed from what you have learned. Your faith then shatters and you won’t believe on it anymore.
Some people lived a damned life and no one ever helped them to get out from that prison of darkness. They are just stagnant and have not used the purpose of their being and contribution to the world. Other people can’t be with you all the time just to give you the help that you need. It is not their obligation to help you in anything that needs to be fixed about you. As you are the owner of your body, you are also the only person who is obliged to manage life that is intended for yourself. Don’t depend on others to clean your mess and direct your troubled existence.
Are you one of those who always checks out your daily astrology or horoscope in the newspapers? Yes, I know a friend of mine who, instead of reading the headlines, goes straight to the horoscopes section of the newspaper. Some people even use astrology as a way to determine compatibility with their romantic partners, to help others adjust and adopt to the unforeseen to make the most of their chances in life. Some also use astrology to find out one’s personality, abilities, aspirations, weaknesses etc. But most commonly, astrology is widely used (or some people claims)-to predict one’s future; that depends on the person though, if you believe in it or not.
Are you a forgiving person? There’s actually the healing power of forgiveness. In our lives, it is inevitable that we have been hurt, angered or deeply pained by some people we’ve encountered. I’ve heard people who exclaimed that “He/she hurt me so much that he/she does not deserve any forgiveness from me!”, or “He can’t run away from what he has done to me!” But scientific study shows that it’s actually not the offending party, but the individual who holds grudges within who pays the price. It’s like accumulating all the hurt and pain through the years. As time goes by, through years and years of holding the bitterness inside you and not letting the power of forgiveness to heal you, harms your other relationships and deteriorate your immune system.
Are you always fascinated or just plain curious about opening the third eye? Bear in mind that once this center is already open you would then have in your hands the power of seeing and knowing the unseen, the unknown and those things beyond normal understanding. The third eye is also known as the Ajan Chakra and it is the foundation of one’s psychic abilities, sixth sense and wisdom. There are in fact several good meditation methods for opening the third eye. Nevertheless, in this article, I will begin to acquaint you with 3 of them. For ages, these systems have been effectively utilized for balancing the third eye, hence, getting the advantages which this opening creates.
Want to try tarot card reading—well, it is actually quite simple and not that difficult to perform. Before anything else, try lighting the candles and incense, take some gradual deep breaths, solemnly meditating. This will generate a sense of sanctity for your entire session. Make sure that you bring together all your items you need and that include the tarot cards. Then, you could think of a particular issue or question which is specific to make it your reading focus. Nevertheless, you could also opt for an open tarot card reading-- which means that whatever the cards disclose to you, that’s all you can see.
In the modern world, psychic healing still remains to be very polemical, yet the practice is very archaic. Perhaps the most usual kind of Psychic Healing exercised these days is via shamanistic healers of diverse cultures. These shamanistic civilizations (whether Aborigine, South American, New Guinea or Native American) engage a particularly skilled person that communes a certain curing power to their subjects, most often through talismans or special charms and at times through the involvement of spirits, who themselves carry out Psychic Healing exploits. In present-day way of life and in the modern world, much of this activity could be originated by Antoine Mesmer, who believed in the presumption of “animal magnetism” by which subjects can be instilled with an extraordinary energy through a progression of passes.
In lucid dreams, we have the freedom and independence from all earthly energies, a fantastic way in releasing stress as it is also a refreshing and totally liberating experience which sets you up for a new day. They say, ask and you shall receive right away. So if you wish or desire to be let’s say, on a tropical and sandy beach basking in sunshine glory, express your desire, then you are there within a snap of the fingers. Our desires, our wishes and our thoughts are quickly translated into dynamic energy, the energy then shapes our desires. Strictly speaking, we are in total control—no god or destiny or fate chooses or decides what we do in a lucid dream, we are actually the lead star and at the same time the film director.
