Is Believing Mean Having Blind Faith?

Believing is having blind faith. This was a statement once told to me by a non-believer. I was once asked if something was true or not. Now this had to do with crystal healing, which many of you know that I love to use and work with in my daily life as well as my professional life and upcoming book. But this person was a big skeptic. They said how could you possibly believe in something if you have no facts to base it on. Well this is where faith comes in to play. But still they questioned. I was told that believing in something without facts and a basis for it was blind faith and this was completely stupid, in this person’s wording, not my own.

I asked them in they believed in anything out there in the world or otherwise at all. They said of course, they believed in things that they could see, feel, hear, and touch. And that is a wonderful trait that almost all of us have, but what about believing in the unknown. Absolutely not they informed me, as this again would be foolish and stupid.

Now let’s break this down, as I was not asking this person to believe in Santa Claus or something, but the concept is still behind it. It believes in something you cannot always see. Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing! What do you think having faith is? Believing in the cold hard facts? That is not faith. That is already proven. Having faith is believing in something you cannot prove or disprove but believe it is real to yourself because it resonates within you. Not everyone’s beliefs are going to be the same and that is perfectly acceptable as we are all on our own spiritual pathway through life.

Just because you cannot see how crystal-healing works doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It seems means that your eyes and brain are not capable of understanding and seeing on the physical plane how this interprets into something that can heal your physical body. Crystals heal on a vibrational and energy field level. All of us are composed of energy and vibrate at different levels. Crystals work within the energy fields surrounding us, known as auras, and can stimulate the negative and stagnant area that is causing our physical body a problem and turn this energy into a flowing and positive form all within their own healing attributes.

Just because we cannot see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exists or happen. Let’s use another example with the ocean and its depths. Have you ever been to the bottom of the ocean? I mean the true true bottom! There has got to be one point somewhere in all of the oceans that reaches to the deepest point on Earth. Have you ever been there? Have you ever even seen a picture of it? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or it is not there. All that means is that your awareness has not been expanded enough to know about it yet. Once we open up our awareness and expansion to different areas, we are not being foolish or stupid by believing in something we cannot see, we are simply opening ourselves up to the possibility that it can rightfully exist and happen for us.

So take a few moments each day and try to think of some new and exciting possibilities you might want to expand your awareness about and see where it takes you in your life! You will be pleasantly surprised!

How To Use Affirmations For Best Results

Do affirmations really work? In my honest opinion, it is not if they work but it is how you use them and put them to work for you.

Affirmations are not going to work for anyone if you don’t first believe in what you are saying and repeating to yourself. Now I know this is a stretch, but if you are a 5 foot tall brown haired, brown eyed woman and you use an affirmation to re-train your brain to believe you are a 6 foot tall Swedish blonde haired, blue eyed supermodel it’s not going to work!

You first have to make it believable for your lifestyle and your short-term goals. Stay within reason, but push the limit just ever so slightly. Make sure your goals and affirmations are exact and precise. Something as asking for just more money is too vague. You could receive a penny or a dollar and that would be more money according to Spirit, the Universe or whatever your “God” terminology may be. Being precise and wanting to earn an extra $50,000 is much better and more on target. A lot of affirmations just stick to positivity aspects, which are great in general, but being more precise brings quicker and easier results.

Another big key point on working with affirmations, give yourself time to re-train your brain. A lot of people work with them for a few days and give up. Give yourself some time. You did not get to the point you are in your life and with your brain thinking the way it is over night, so give it time to re-train and re-focus and have the Universe bring forth what you are wanting.

To add an extra boost, use crystals for their vibrational level work, as well as Reiki to punch up the energy behind them. Send Reiki to everything that has to do with your affirmation or place crystals in all areas that are concerning your affirmation. Think outside the box and expand your consciousness on this level an watch how things start to pour into your life in such an incredible way you will wonder where they have been hiding this whole time.

Practice & Patience Is Key With Meditation

Meditation is an ancient practice of quieting the conscious mind, self-discovery and relaxation. This is the time for you to work within yourself, deepen your concentration and communication with your higher self, guides and the Universe! This can be called “God” or any other names you wish to use, but for my own personal issues I call this a Universal Spirit.

Our ultimate goal for meditation sessions and exercises is to open us up and uncover our true souls at the deepest level possible, as well as establish a stronger communication link.

Meditation is not a religion, nor is it required for anyone to use in his or her daily life or even on his or her spiritual pathway. Meditation is suggested to enhance and develop your spiritual pathway to enlightenment, as well as developing your awareness!

When first starting your meditation process, one can get confused on how to start, what to do and in general just where to begin. Remember that everyone is different, and no two people are going to meditate the same way.

Find a comfortable place for you to begin your meditation practice, and use whatever aids you wish to when beginning. This can be incense, soothing music, drumming techniques, crystal usage and so much more. The key point is that you are comfortable and relaxed. Do not meditate while lying down, as this can cause you to fall asleep and not fully experience your meditation session. Another key point is to try and do this the same time every day if possible.
This will train your conscious side to remember to go into this state of mind to relax and become more open over time.

Remember, this is something you have to practice and experience, not something that will happen overnight. So be patient, give yourself time and do not stress if your subconscious does not do what you are expecting it to do. Practice and patience is key!

How To Have Faith When Everything Is Going Wrong?

This is a big question I get a lot in the line of work that I am doing, especially being a psychic medium, energy worker and Ordained Minister. This is also something that a lot of people struggle with in every day life.

We hear things about the laws of the universe and how we attract things into our life, as well as things don’t just happen out of coincidence. So what do we do when it feels like everything is going wrong? We have faith!

“Faith in what?” is generally the next question I receive. That everything is going and happening for the divine love and purpose that it is supposed to happen. We cannot figure everything out in life, nor should we try. I think that would drive anyone crazy.

There are so many different religions, and I am not going to preach or lecture about any of them, as I have a more spiritual based faith. But almost everyone believes in something. Who can honestly say one religion or belief is better or worse then other? No one really knows for sure.

So why not just have faith! Faith is the key to a lot of things, as well as surrendering and letting go of our pre-conceived ideas of what should happen and take place. We never know how things are going to manifest and connect in our lives, but they always do, and generally when we are least trying to force them.

I once told a dear friend of mine that when things are looking at their worst to look up. For some reason that has stuck with him and gets him through some of these tough times that everyone faces at some point in their lives.

It doesn’t matter what religion or beliefs that you have. What matters is that you do believe!

You can call it God, Jesus, Buddha, Angels, Spirit, Universe and so many other terms, but if you stop and think about it, isn’t it all the same thing? A singular power that is out there and controls, manifests, draws in and changes things in our life. Does it really matter the name that we give it? Do you think that it matters to he/she/them what we decided to call it? No, it doesn’t! What matters is that you believe and have faith in it! That you turn to this and have ask for help in times of need, and show appreciation and gratitude in times of abundance and happiness.

So the next time life throws you a curve ball, don’t wonder why this or that happened or re-play a million ideas in your head of how, when or why. Just look up, ask and have faith!
