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!

Affirmations & Mantras With Crystal Energies

If you enjoy working with affirmations and mantras, then why not enhance the energy and vibrational level behind them to make them even stronger in your life. You can do this with crystal energy and vibrational level work.

A fun and easy way to do this is with a Rhodonite. You can find this generally at your local metaphysical or holistic store, and even online as well. Just remember when looking for your new crystal to pick the one that resonates within you.

After you have your new vibrational friend, remember to cleanse and charge this to your own personal energy fields as well before starting your affirmation or mantra work.

When you are ready to begin, hold your Rhodonite in between your hands when reciting your affirmations or mantras. Do this every day for 7 consecutive days to enhance their strength and ability in your life.

Some people feel more comfortable holding this in their dominant hand, and that is ok as well. I have noticed though a dramatic difference in the two different sessions with my own work as well as clients and students, and have found more effective results with using both hands.

Remember to wear or carry this around with you for at least the 7 days you are working with it, if not longer. You can continue to work with the Rhodonite after the 7 days to make an even stronger connection if you wish, as this depends on what your affirmation or mantra is for and what you are working on to give this more energetic and vibrational power.

Reiki Master & Spiritual Holistic Health Programs

Reiki is a big thing in our new modern society, but this has been around since 1920. Back then it was not common to perform distant attunements or healings, so you had to rely on who you knew and what was close to where you lived. Unfortunately this made Reiki not a common thing, but more of a specialty in healing. Reiki should be available to anyone and everyone who wants to use this, and not be determined by your income or location.

Alot of alternative, metaphysical, spiritual, or holistic programs include Reiki as part of their instruction. This is a big thing in this line of work because dealing with alternative, metaphysical, spiritual, and holistic healings the majority of then will come back to learning how to use energy.

Take for example, an animal communication program. If you want to learn how to communicate with animals, it is beneficial to know how to work with energy as well. Reason for this is because everything is tied back to its beginning and as you may already know everything in this world is made of energy. So if you want to learn how to relate and understand animals, you must know how you are going to connect with them. Working with meditation, relaxation and communication deals with energy as well. Being a Reiki Master is only a benefit to those who are studying in an alternative, metaphysical, spiritual or holistic program.

Another example would be taking a crystal-healing program. To charge a crystal, you can use your Reiki energy, as well as cleansing, programming and enhancing the crystals own vibrational energies. So why not be attuned to a Reiki Master as well, it only helps develop and enhance your own spiritual pathway in life.

Now just because you are attuned to a Reiki Master does not mean you have to go and try to heal everything you come in contact with. Some of us are here to help and serve with this type of work and some of us are here to enhance our own spiritual pathway and connect with the vibrational level of others. We are not all on the same pathway in life, so remember when making your decisions, it is about you, your learning and spiritual growth!

Stay focused, grounded, protected and learn as much as you possibly can to heal yourself and develop your own spiritual pathway in life, being interconnected with the Universe and others!

Can You Help Change The World?

Changing the world can be a very big undertaking and task to accomplish, but not impossible!
When I was a little girl I always knew I was here on Mother Earth for a special reason. I wasn't quite sure what that reason was, but it was unmistakably known to me by my guides that I was here to change things.

Growing up with a family life of always having to do this or that a certain way can take a toll on anyone mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I was lucky enough to have role models in my life, as well as my guides, to help steer me in the right direction.

Now no one's life choices are perfect, and I have learned from my own mistakes. But one thing that never changed in my life was how I could affect others in such a positive way. It is a ripple effect in life, both on the positive and the negative end of the spectrums.

For example, if you do just one good thing for three people, and those three people do three more positive things for three other people you can easily see how this can fan outward. It can be the same for negativity, as this energy can drain a person inward.

I used to hear people say I was always trying to make the world a better place, and thought that it was possible. Why not? There is so much negativity, fighting, wars, famine, disease, hardship, and so much more why not try to change this for the better.

Even if I touch just one person's life and this fans out, it is so worth it in the long run. I may not see this in my lifetime, or in my children's lifetime, but I know it is there and working for the better. And the more people doing this, the higher the vibrational level will be and the quicker this will all turn around for the positive, so we may just see this in our own lifetimes.

So how do you start changing the world? Did you ever see the movie "Evan Almighty"? ARK is the answer to this question. One act of random kindness at a time! ARK!

Now I was raised with a very strict religious background of fearing God, church services on Sunday's, weekly bible study lessons and much more. I have nothing against religions at all, as everyone believes differently as we are all on different spiritual pathways through life. My belief is more spiritual in nature, as I choose to believe that we are all created by and with love, with nothing to fear in this. But the word ark reminds a lot of people of the Bible and of God.

I am not saying to change your beliefs or anything; just a reference to the word is all. There are multiple meanings for the word ark, and in this circumstance the acronym for the word ark fits wonderfully to help strengthen our positive vibrational levels, match each other and spread a good word of helping to make Mother Earth a much more positive and healthy place for us all to live.

So why not try this starting today! Do just one act of random kindness at a time and see what happens. See how this can change a person's life, circumstance, situation and see how this fans out. You will not only be helping to change the vibrational level of Mother Earth and bring us all to a more happy loving home, you will also be growing and expanding your own personal spiritual pathway through life!

Love Beyond Words

How do you love beyond words? . This is a hard concept for a lot of people to understand, but when you finally get it, it all makes sense and you see the complete picture. No regrets, and love unconditionally with no strings attached in life.

So many people today take the words "I love you" and use them over and over again to where they have no meaning. How many times have you caught yourself saying "I love you" when walking out the door or at the end of a phone conversation. It comes out so naturally, but how often when this happens do we really mean it, listen to it or really feel it with our souls, not many I bet.

Have you ever had anyone in your life ever show you love in anyway without the use of words? Maybe they did something that no one else did for you just at the right time and you knew they really did love you. Maybe they said something you had been longing to hear but never heard until then, and it wasn't "I love you".

A lot of us do not appreciate the concept of love until it is gone or lost. What most of us do not even see or comprehend a lot of times, or sometimes it is simple as just that we forget, is that we are loved from the Universal Spirit, or your own interpretation of God.

You are loved for who you are. You are loved for your soul. You are loved in every possible way. And you are here also to share your love with others. Not just a simple "I love you" but to go beyond this to where you or the other person becomes this heart swollen love filled embodiment ready to burst with love energy. That is what loving beyond words is!

So next time you see your spouse, child, or friend really mean it from the heart and deep down in your soul when you tell them you love them. When you see the person working a fundraiser for charity, stop and give them your spare change and see how it lights their face up, and know you have spread some love even more. Or when you see the homeless person on a cold night, take them one of your spare blankets and see what kind of changes it makes not only in your own heart and soul but theirs as well. Love beyond words with the whole world and we can change it one random act of kindness at a time.

Learn To Trust Your Soul

How do you learn to trust your soul? In so many cultures growing up, and even as adults, we are put in our place with adult or parental figures telling us things are wrong, or that isn't how this or that should be, or things are just done this way, and even as adults we experience this in jobs, relationships, etc. A lot of times we will question ourselves, or the other people we are around, and double think everything and we wonder why we have this sort of ping-pong match going on in ourselves or in our physical life.

This is mostly due to how we were brought up in pretty much almost all of the different cultures out there in the world. The adults or parents tell a child what is right and what is wrong, but a lot of the times they forget that the child does have a mind of their own and would like to voice their own opinions before hearing "just because I said so" or "it is just this way" etc.

This is then embedded after periods of years into our self confidence and self esteem with us always checking things or correcting ourselves or wondering if things are right or not. If we are always in doubt of whatever we say and/or do, we will be living like this for the rest of your life and we will always need someone else in our lives to verify what we are thinking and/or believing. We have to learn to trust our own soul, higher self and intuition.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying to become arrogant and never listen to your boss or your spouse or parents or friends again. It is a matter of raising this vibrational level so that you do not feel you have to constantly seek approval and you can follow your own soul's information and calling.

These are simple things in life if we break them all down. It can as simple as making a choice of what to eat for dinner to what type of work you want to do with your life or what types of healings or attunements you may want to take.

Things can become a bit overwhelming when looking at them as a whole, so break them down into simple and individual decisions to make. Then just make one and stick with it. Ask yourself if you feel good about your decision and don't fret or worry if it is right or wrong, just know that this is the decision you made and go with having faith. The ping-pong match in your mind is what causes trouble. So go with your first gut instinct and trust that all is in divine and perfect order.

Live Each Day With Purpose & In The Now

How do you live each day with purpose? You let go of regrets and love like it is your last day, as yesterday is gone and tomorrow many never come, so live for today and the now!

There are so many of us out there that are rushing around, going here and there, running errands, cleaning, working, taking the kids here and there, cooking and so much more that it hurts just to think about it all. But is this the only thing we are here for? To work? To run errands? To just exist? No not at all. But that is what a lot of people have fallen into the pattern of doing. We are all human and this happens to the best of us.

We have a whole life ahead of us, and not to just cook and clean or work. There is a life waiting for all of us out there!

I have seen people who are of all ages and backgrounds and they experience the same thing. They go through life until something happens to them or someone they love and they wake up to the reality that these little things don't matter. We worry about the small things, and fuss and disagree and really for what? Honestly? Will it matter in 5 years? Nine chances out of ten probably not, so why worry and stress and go through all of these issues right now.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying give up everything in your life. Don't go and quit your job, as we all need money and finances to live. We need a roof over our head and food on the table, etc - but there is so much more out there that a lot of people overlook all the time.

In hoping to be happy about something in the future, instead of being happy right now, we are missing out. We often want more time, more money for this or that, a better job, better health, etc. The list can go on for a long time like this. But we are not living for each and every day. We are not living for the NOW! Life and living it is NOW - not yesterday or tomorrow but NOW. Yesterday has already come and gone and yesterday's chance was then. Tomorrow may never come, no one really knows, so why wait and take that chance.

I have clients and friends who have terrible illnesses and they are just now realizing this and thinking how much time has passed and they will never get this back. But they finally reached a stage that put them at this point now where they are now living each day to the fullest. Enjoying each and everything - from waking up in the morning, to the sunrise they see, to the birds chirping outside, to their kids smiling faces, to the food on their table, the clothes on their backs and so much more.

So a good lesson for all of us, slow down and take a deep breath! Appreciate everything in the now so we have no regrets later on!
