Recently, after doing a psychic reading for a client who owns a Yoga studio, my mind roamed back many years to weekly Yoga classes I attended. The classes were given by the most wonderful lady who was 76 years ‘young’. She was vibrant and supple enough to make us younger ones look pathetic by comparison.

One evening our mentor invited us students to a ‘levitation’ demonstration and that was my very first experience of witnessing a person levitating in front of my eyes. Although there was a lead-up talk, prior to her levitation demonstration, all I recall seeing is that moment when she levitated from her horizontal position on the floor to the same position in a trance like state. She rose up and was suspended in the air at what appeared to be about 3 feet from the stage. Read the rest of this entry »

To bring about a fresh start, or to end a chapter in your life, a spiritual spring clean will assist in putting a spring in your step towards getting ahead.

Firstly, you may wish to begin with a little de-cluttering. If you are accustomed to being surrounded by loads of personal belongings, it may take a little while adjusting to having more open space, but you will enjoy the openness as you allow new material things and experiences to fill, what you temporarily feel is a bit of a void.

Do follow your heart though should you like your environment to be filled with objects, but make sure those treasured items have good memories attached to them and that they are functional – a broken clock would be non-functional. Read the rest of this entry »

I am a believer in the concept that we have several exit points during our lifetime, relating to moments when we can leave. I call this physical existence our ‘harsh schoolroom’. Life is generally hard, and I find it actually makes it easier if we can look at it from that perspective.

I have yet to meet an individual who has known a complete fairytale existence in their lives. We have all experienced some magical moments, but not as magical as some far-fetched novels might portray.

Earth is not our primary home. I can resonate with teachings that state we are given anywhere between five and seven exits points during our lives. At times we feel as if we are banging our heads just to survive on a daily basis, financially and emotionally, yet deep down there’s an instinct inside of us which causes us to remain and to complete what we incarnated to accomplish.

I always think a cup of coffee or a sandwich tastes special when someone else prepared it. Perhaps it was made with good intention?

If a meal or a beverage is prepared with love, the very intention behind the preparation has to be more beneficial to our system and to our sense of well-being. This idea has often occurred to me over the years and there was confirmation of this in various Buddhist articles I happened to stumble across.

Just like our body, mind and spirit, food is made of energy. Energy is further transmitted by touch, and good or bad energy can be transmitted by contact. Even without speaking, subtle invisible thought-forms can also pass from one person to another when one person prepares food and another eats it.

So, as your sensitivity increases with your spiritual growth, blessing your food will be especially important if you consume foodstuff or beverages prepared by strangers. If you just think about how many people are involved in negative pursuits, doing a blessing only makes sense. Low vibration foodstuffs also originate where they’ve been genetically altered, not to mention livestock reared in terrible conditions. Read the rest of this entry »

The calming and spiritually protective Amethyst has a mysterious energy about it, and the beautiful coloring makes this purple quartz even more exceptional. It is formed in the presence of manganese and is found in Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa, Madagascar and India.

Just holding a piece of Amethyst helps raise your vibration, putting you into a calmer and accepting frame of mind. It is believed that its very essence heals on the metaphysical and physical levels of our being.

Experts in crystal healing teach that Amethyst Crystals are the foremost stones of the Violet Flame. The use of the violet flame which emanates from this exquisite stone is overseen by the Ascended Master St. Germain. The violet flame helps transmute negative energies in the body and creates harmony. Wearing Amethyst jewelry is a powerful way to absorb the benefits of this magical stone.

I’ve been surrounded by crystals, both in my personal healing and psychic work, since I can remember. I wouldn’t call myself an expert on the subject, but I do know that these beautiful stones are aesthetically pleasing, and powerful to have around.

Many crystals have been given to me as gifts, and it’s as if the giver always knows exactly what I need in terms of what the gemstones or crystals can help me with.

When choosing crystals and stones for myself, I simply allow them to ‘speak’ to me, trusting that their vibrations will call me. The actual color of the crystal or stone can have quite a profound effect on the mind. For example, medical patients are known to respond to the color blue, when it is used decoratively in a recuperative environment, and criminals are known to be calmer in a cell painted in very pale pink.

When people hear the term ancestor worship, it tends to conjure up thoughts of primitive practices, but it is actually a very powerful spiritual experience. I personally see it as communing with our ancestors and the technique I use is similar to that of the Yoruba people of West Africa.

If one looks at various tribes on the African continent, as well as other continents, ancestor worship is a common practice among indigenous people.

Although I cannot say I have any special reverence for my ancestors, the closest word would be respect for all the trials and tribulations they experienced. Going back through my bloodline I know that there have been prisoner-of-war experiences, material hardship and even suicides, to mention but a few, so my predecessors also had their unique life stories.
