			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we have all felt, there are times when our daily lives can seem like one giant, mass of despair and confusion. A mixture of the struggling economy, greed, and war, with people just being downright rude to each other for no good reason, the negativity can take its toll. Sometimes, we can all get the urge to simply fly away to our very own private get-away island, to escape away from it all.</p>
<p>Now, we also know that this is not always possible, it&#8217;s good to know that there is another way to find the inner peace we are all so arduously seeking. By practicing the Japanese spiritual practice known as Reiki, you can achieve physical, emotional, and spiritual peace.</p>
<p>Reiki has been around for many years, and originated around 1922 with Mikao Usui upon the Japanese mountain called Kurama. After many weeks of fasting and deep meditation, Usui claimed to have received the ability healing without energy depletion. Usui then moved to Tokyo where he then created what became known as the 5 Reiki Principles or precepts, which include: do not be angry, do not worry, be grateful, work with integrity, and be kind to others. By adhering to these five basic rules, on a daily basis, according to the Principles, you will invite good fortune into your life as well as medicine to heal all illnesses.</p>
<p>We also know that there are some common ways to practice Reiki, including whole body treatment and localized treatment. Whole body treatment involves having the recipient lie down on a massage table while the practitioner applies hands in various positions for up to 90 minutes, resulting in a feeling of overall contentment and peacefullness. Localized treatments are where hands are placed on a specific area of the body, usually that has experienced some type of trauma or injury. This lasts for about 20 minutes on average, and is helpful in healing the injured area.</p>
<p>A very common method of practicing Reiki is to combine treatment with Alternative Healing. The purpose of each healing pathway being to bring about tranquility, and soothing the body and mind into a healing space. Providing that state of being which brings about a state of absolute calmness and spiritual fulfillment can be achieved through a combination of alternative healing practices. Repeated on a daily basis, the combination of meditation and treatment can lead to a happier, healthier life. It is being revealed that you don&#8217;t have to let the anxiety caused by the daily grind keep you from the life you deserve, Alternative Healing can help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LOGOS And OM</p>
<p>Everything in the universe originates from a primal vibration, in Christianity called the WORD. In Hinduism this concept is called OM. OM and the WORD are an expression of a universal principle, a vibration, a primordial sound which is the source of everything that exists. </p>
<p>The same thing is described by Pythagoras in his philosophical idea about the Music of the Spheres, where the physical sound that we can hear is seen just as a reflection of the cosmic sound, in Greek called Logos.</p>
<p>About Christianity And The Word</p>
<p>The Christian tradition speaks of the power of the word. God speaks words and creates universes. &#8220;God said: Let there be light. And light came&#8221; (book of Moses). God utters words and the universe is created. </p>
<p>These words are sound emanations coming from a higher level of reality. We just call them words in our sphere of being. This symbolism is present in many spiritual/religious traditions where reality is created by vibration or sound. </p>
<p>OM And The Atom</p>
<p>Modern physics and the upanishads from India may at first glance seem very different but both support the idea of the universe consisting of vibration and that there exists a kind of primordial vibration. </p>
<p>All matter is in fact in a state of vibration as a closer inspection of the atom reveals. These vibrations can be poetically compared with music as physicist Dr. Donald Hatch states: &#8220;The universe is not made of matter but music&#8221;. </p>
<p>Sound And Matter</p>
<p>Matter is in fact completely illusory, all matter being made up of atoms which themselves are separated by vast distances compared with their size. Atoms are not solid but are made up of vibrating energy in movement. </p>
<p>According to the scientist Donald Andrews complex theory of the universe, every atom sends out a main tone, a sound which via the resonance process connects itself in groups of equivalent atoms and form up molecules, which he sees as a kind of cosmic chords. By continuing the expansion, the molecules form different objects and forms in physical manifestation. Thereby any object can be seen as a living entity, made up by chords or molecules, with each their individual complex sound.</p>
<p>OM And Everyday Life</p>
<p>The myths of creation might not only be stories of how the universe was created, but could also describe the processes of creation which are continually ongoing within us as well. We continually create our own realities with the music of our minds and emotions, all coming together to create the complex chord which we are. If we live in harmony with the cosmic chord we will be forever happy and harmonious. </p>
<p>Matter comes from vibration, matter is cosmic sound. Matter is OM which has been crystallized. The universe and earth only exist because the word is being continuously emanated. Without the word there would be only pure empty space called Ananda by the ancient yogis of India, which was the original state of the universe before manifestation. </p>
<p>OM And Spiritual Practice</p>
<p>Advanced practitioners of Yoga have always felt OM as real as the air that they breath. Christian mystics have long know of power of the WORD in themselves and the outside universe. They feel at a deep level the continual emanating of the word OM in the continual creation processes taking place.  </p>
<p>We are the authors of our own universe, all our thoughts and emotions coming together in a complex symphony which either sounds harmoniously with the cosmic symphony or creates noise and tension. The choice is ours, whether we choose to play disharmonious music or whether we wish to join creation harmoniously adding our own beautiful song. </p>
<p>So be ever mindful of all your thoughts, emotions and actions because the universe hears you and responds!</p>

<p>Everything in the universe originates from a primal vibration, in Christianity called the WORD. In Hinduism this concept is called OM. OM and the WORD are an expression of a universal principle, a vibration, a primordial sound which is the source of everything that exists. </p>
<p>The same thing is described by Pythagoras in his philosophical idea about the Music of the Spheres, where the physical sound that we can hear is seen just as a reflection of the cosmic sound, in Greek called Logos.</p>
<p>Christianity And The Word</p>
<p>In the Christian tradition the power of the word is immense. Just by uttering words, God is creating the whole manifestation. God said: Let there be light. And light came (1st Moses book). God UTTERS words and the creation springs forth. </p>
<p>These words are sound emanations coming from a higher level of reality. We just call them words in our sphere of being. This symbolism is present in many spiritual/religious traditions where reality is created by vibration or sound. </p>
<p>The Atom And OM</p>
<p>The terminology and the organization of knowledge are completely different in the Upanishads and in modern physics, but besides this fact there are lots of similarities supporting the idea that OM is the original cosmic sound vibration and source. OM is a subtle audible sound- a vibration.</p>
<p>Upon closer inspection of the atom we find that all matter vibrates. Vibration and music are poetically linked in the words of physicist Dr. Donald Hatch: &#8220;The universe is not made of matter, but music&#8221;. </p>
<p>Sound Over Matter</p>
<p>Matter is in fact completely illusory, all matter being made up of atoms which themselves are separated by vast distances compared with their size. Atoms are not solid but are made up of vibrating energy in movement. </p>
<p>According to the scientist Donald Andrews complex theory of the universe, every atom sends out a main tone, a sound which via the resonance process connects itself in groups of equivalent atoms and form up molecules, which he sees as a kind of cosmic chords. By continuing the expansion, the molecules form different objects and forms in physical manifestation. Thereby any object can be seen as a living entity, made up by chords or molecules, with each their individual complex sound.</p>
<p>OM And Our Everyday Life</p>
<p>The creation myths might in fact also be describing the process of creation which continually happens within us. All our thoughts, feelings and emotions create their own chords which crystallize in the complex chords of our personalities and being. Our main aim would then be to make this a harmonious chord which sounds beautifully and harmonically with the chord of the universe. Only then can we be truly happy when we are in true &#8220;harmony&#8221; with the universe. </p>
<p>Matter is created by cosmic sound, Matter is cosmic sound. Matter is OM, crystallized and made physical. The universe, the earth and we only exist because the Word is continuously brought forth. Remove the Word, and only the pure empty space &#8221; ananda (the creative void as described by the ancient yogis of India) &#8211; will be left. This is the original state of the universe before the creation.</p>
<p>OM As A Spiritual Practice</p>
<p>For a yogi OM is just as real as the air he breaths. Christian mystics have felt the power of the Word inside and around them and known that the whole creation is neither complete nor ended, but is an ongoing process.</p>
<p>We have to understand that we are all co creators of the universe through the continual creation of our own WORDS or Music, continually bringing into manifestation through our thoughts, longings, desires and speech.  We alone can choose whether our symphony is in harmony or not with the cosmic symphony. </p>
<p>So be ever mindful of what you send out because the universe hears your song!</p>

<p>LOGOS And OM</p>
<p>The primal vibration from which everything originates is in Christianity called the WORD. The equivalent in Hinduism is the mantra (sound word) OM. The word and OM express a universal principal, a cosmic vibration (sound) which symbolises the source of everything in existence. </p>
<p>Pythagoras describes the same thing in his philosophical ideas in the Music of the Spheres, where it is stated that the physical sound that we hear is but a reflection of the LOGOS (Greek) meaning the cosmic sound. </p>
<p>About Christianity And The Word</p>
<p>The power of the word is immense in the Christian tradition. By uttering words God creates the whole universe. &#8220;God said: Let there be light. And light came&#8221; (1st book of Moses). God says words and manifestation springs forth. </p>
<p>These words symbolize a form of word that come from a higher reality, in our reality called a word. The symbolism is clear and can be seen in many different spiritual traditions. Reality springs forth from a vibration or sound. </p>
<p>The Atom And OM</p>
<p>Modern physics and the upanishads from India may at first glance seem very different but both support the idea of the universe consisting of vibration and that there exists a kind of primordial vibration. </p>
<p>All matter is in fact in a state of vibration as a closer inspection of the atom reveals. These vibrations can be poetically compared with music as physicist Dr. Donald Hatch states: &#8220;The universe is not made of matter but music&#8221;. </p>
<p>Sound And Matter</p>
<p>We now possess the knowledge that matter is illusory and that all matter is made up of atoms which are separated by enormous distances compared with their size. We also know that atoms themselves are not solid but consist of vibrating energy. </p>
<p>According to the scientist Donald Andrews complex theory of the universe, every atom sends out a main tone, a sound which via the resonance process connects itself in groups of equivalent atoms and form up molecules, which he sees as a kind of cosmic chords. By continuing the expansion, the molecules form different objects and forms in physical manifestation. Thereby any object can be seen as a living entity, made up by chords or molecules, with each their individual complex sound.</p>
<p>OM In Everyday Life</p>
<p>The creation myths might not only be the story of how the world once was created, but could also be a symbolic description about the process of creation that is ongoing, and which each one of us is a part of. It is the creation and maintenance of each and every little atom and the realities we are creating with our minds and emotions. And it is going on right now, not in the eternal remote past! If we manage to be in accordance with life, we will be harmonious and happy.</p>
<p>Matter comes out of vibration. Matter is vibration. Matter is OM which crystallizes into our physical reality. The universe exists only through the continual emanation of the WORD. Without the WORD there would be but pure empty space which the ancient yogis of India term as &#8220;ANANDA&#8221;. This is the original state of the universe before it came into creation. </p>
<p>OM As A Spiritual Practice</p>
<p>Advanced practitioners of Yoga have always felt OM as real as the air that they breath. Christian mystics have long know of power of the WORD in themselves and the outside universe. They feel at a deep level the continual emanating of the word OM in the continual creation processes taking place.  </p>
<p>We are the authors of our own universe, all our thoughts and emotions coming together in a complex symphony which either sounds harmoniously with the cosmic symphony or creates noise and tension. The choice is ours, whether we choose to play disharmonious music or whether we wish to join creation harmoniously adding our own beautiful song. </p>
<p>So be ever mindful of all your thoughts, emotions and actions because the universe hears you and responds!</p>

<p>OM And LOGOS</p>
<p>Everything in the universe originates from a primal vibration, in Christianity called the WORD. In Hinduism this concept is called OM. OM and the WORD are an expression of a universal principle, a vibration, a primordial sound which is the source of everything that exists. </p>
<p>Pythagoras describes the same thing in his philosophical ideas in the Music of the Spheres, where it is stated that the physical sound that we hear is but a reflection of the LOGOS (Greek) meaning the cosmic sound. </p>
<p>The Word And Christianity</p>
<p>The power of the word is immense in the Christian tradition. By uttering words God creates the whole universe. &#8220;God said: Let there be light. And light came&#8221; (1st book of Moses). God says words and manifestation springs forth. </p>
<p>These words symbolize a form of word that come from a higher reality, in our reality called a word. The symbolism is clear and can be seen in many different spiritual traditions. Reality springs forth from a vibration or sound. </p>
<p>The Atom And OM</p>
<p>Modern physics and the upanishads from India may at first glance seem very different but both support the idea of the universe consisting of vibration and that there exists a kind of primordial vibration. </p>
<p>Upon closer inspection of the atom we find that all matter vibrates. Vibration and music are poetically linked in the words of physicist Dr. Donald Hatch: &#8220;The universe is not made of matter, but music&#8221;. </p>
<p>Sound And Matter</p>
<p>We know that the solidity of matter is an illusion and that all matter consists of atoms, separated in enormous distances compared to their size. And that the atoms themselves are not at all solid, but consist of energy in movement. </p>
<p>In the vision of Donald Andrews the atoms emit a main tone. Atoms join in clusters of atoms to form molecules or &#8220;cosmic chords&#8221; as he calls them. All matter can be seen as complex chords. The universe is in fact a giant symphony of vibration. </p>
<p>OM And Our Everyday Life</p>
<p>The myths of creation might not only be stories of how the universe was created, but could also describe the processes of creation which are continually ongoing within us as well. We continually create our own realities with the music of our minds and emotions, all coming together to create the complex chord which we are. If we live in harmony with the cosmic chord we will be forever happy and harmonious. </p>
<p>Matter comes from vibration, matter is cosmic sound. Matter is OM which has been crystallized. The universe and earth only exist because the word is being continuously emanated. Without the word there would be only pure empty space called Ananda by the ancient yogis of India, which was the original state of the universe before manifestation. </p>
<p>OM In Our Spiritual Practice</p>
<p>Advanced practitioners of Yoga have always felt OM as real as the air that they breath. Christian mystics have long know of power of the WORD in themselves and the outside universe. They feel at a deep level the continual emanating of the word OM in the continual creation processes taking place.  </p>
<p>We have to understand that we are all co creators of the universe through the continual creation of our own WORDS or Music, continually bringing into manifestation through our thoughts, longings, desires and speech.  We alone can choose whether our symphony is in harmony or not with the cosmic symphony. </p>
<p>So be ever mindful of all your thoughts, emotions and actions because the universe hears you and responds!</p>

<p>For those who are afraid to dive headfirst into the Witchcraft pool, Candle Magic is a good way to dip a toe and check out the waters.  One of the easiest, and most basic, forms of spell casting, candle magic can be practiced by anyone, even beginners, with great success.  In fact, you&#8217;ve been practicing it for years, every time you blow out the candles on your birthday cake!  But, this time, let&#8217;s try to consciously name a goal that&#8217;s more realistic than a pony!</p>
<p>One of the reasons that casting spells with candles is so easy and so successful is that it doesn&#8217;t require any special ingredients or tools.  A simple spell can be cast with only a candle, a piece of paper, and YOU!  Once you get the hang of it, though, you may want to try increasing the potency of your spells by including special herbs and oils to help increase your bond between your spirit and the spirit of the candle.  Burning incense also helps as it lifts your spell higher into the atmosphere and helps carry it on it&#8217;s way.</p>
<p>The most important thing to look for when selecting your candles is to make sure the color is solid all the way through the candle.  You don&#8217;t want a white candle that&#8217;s been dipped in pink paint.  Choosing a candle made from an organic material such as soy or beeswax is also helpful for it&#8217;s connection to nature.  But wax and paraffin candles work equally as well.  Try to find a smallish candle when working with a spell that requires you to watch the candle burn until it&#8217;s burned out.  Or you could be sitting for days!</p>
<p>Once you get used to using Candle magic you&#8217;ll find yourself casting spells all the time.  So it may be wise to keep a variety of colors on hand.  Generally, here are the uses for the different colors:  Red &#8211; Courage and health, sexual love and lust  Pink &#8211; Friendship, Romantic love  Orange &#8211; Attraction and encouragement  Gold &#8211; Financial gain, business success  Yellow &#8211; Persuasion and protection  Green &#8211; Financial gain, abundance, fertility  Light Blue &#8211; Health, patience and understanding  Dark blue &#8211; Depression and vulnerability  Purple &#8211; Ambition and power  Black &#8211; Negativity and banishment  White &#8211; purity and truth  Silver &#8211; Reflection, intuition</p>
<p>Next comes dressing, or charging, your candle.  This establishes and increases the connection between you and the candle and helps combine your spiritual energies.  Use a natural oil to dress your candle.  If your spell calls for a specific oil, then you must use that.  If not, use any oil of your choice.  Begin at the top of the candle and rub the oil down to the middle.  Then, begin at the base of the candle and rub the oil up to the middle, overlapping where you left off.  Rub in one direction only, not back and forth, as this negates the charging.</p>
<p>For most basic candle spells, all you need do is simply write your goal or intent on a piece of paper.  The color of the paper should match the color of the candle.  Then just fold the paper and burn it in the candle flame, holding onto it as long as you can without burning yourself.  Let the paper finish burning in a fire-safe container and let the candle burn until it goes completely out.  Never relight the candle.  Just dispose of it, either by burying it outside, or, if that&#8217;s not possible, in some way safe so no one else will light it again.</p>
<p>Generally, you should see signs within 3 days.  If you&#8217;ve performed a love spell, you may have a dream about your love interest or even bump into him on the street.  If you&#8217;ve cast a money spell, perhaps you&#8217;ll find money in an old coat pocket.  If, after one month, you see no signs of success, try again.  But do not repeat the same spell.  Use a new candle and a new spell.</p>
<p>When practicing Candle Magic, or any magic at all, it&#8217;s always important to remember the Number One Rule &#8211; The energy that you put out will be returned to you in threes.  If you do a positive spell, asking for a positive or helpful result, then positive energy that&#8217;s returned to you will be tripled.  But if you perform a negative spell, meant to hurt or harm someone, be careful of the repurcussions!</p>

Candle Magic is one of the most basic forms of spell casting, and can be practiced by anyone, regardless of your expertise in the art of Witchcraft.  Maybe you didn't get that shiny new bike?

<p>Remember that time you wished for a shiny new Schwinn when you blew out the candles on your birthday cake?  Well, that was a simple form of candle magic!  Candle Magic is one of the most basic forms of spell casting, and can be practiced by anyone, regardless of your expertise in the art of Witchcraft.  Maybe you didn&#8217;t get that shiny new bike?  Well, you&#8217;re older now and better able to consciously name your intents and goals.  </p>
<p>Casting spells with candles is an inexpensive and easy way to make your wishes come true.  For most spells, the only items required are a candle, a piece of paper and YOU.  For more intricate spells or to increase the spiritual bond between yourself and the candle, you can add in special herbs and oils.  Burning incense help carry your spell into the atmosphere, too.  But these things are not usually necessary if your goal is clear and your intent unwavering.</p>
<p>The most important thing to look for when selecting your candles is to make sure the color is solid all the way through the candle.  You don&#8217;t want a white candle that&#8217;s been dipped in pink paint.  Choosing a candle made from an organic material such as soy or beeswax is also helpful for it&#8217;s connection to nature.  But wax and paraffin candles work equally as well.  Try to find a smallish candle when working with a spell that requires you to watch the candle burn until it&#8217;s burned out.  Or you could be sitting for days!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to be a serious spell caster, you&#8217;ll want to be sure to have several colors of candles on hand at all times.  You never know when you might meet a certain someone and want to take the relationship to the next level.  Here are some of the candle colors and their meanings: Red &#8211; Courage and health, sexual love and lust  Pink &#8211; Friendship, Romantic love  Orange &#8211; Attraction and encouragement  Gold &#8211; Financial gain, business success  Yellow &#8211; Persuasion and protection  Green &#8211; Financial gain, abundance, fertility  Light Blue &#8211; Health, patience and understanding  Dark blue &#8211; Depression and vulnerability  Purple &#8211; Ambition and power  Black &#8211; Negativity and banishment  White &#8211; purity and truth  Silver &#8211; Reflection, intuition</p>
<p>After selecting your candle, you must oil it before burning.  This establishes a connection between you and the candle itself.  This charges the candle with your own personal vibrations and energy.   To dress the candle, use a natural oil.  Some spells require a specific oil, but if not, then use your own preference.  Begin at the top of the candle and rub the oil down to the middle.  Then, begin at the base of the candle and rub the oil up to the middle, overlapping where you left off.  Rub in one direction only, not back and forth, as this negates the charging.</p>
<p>To perform a simple candle magic spell, simply write your goal or intent on a piece of paper.  The paper should be the same color as the candle you are using.  Fold or roll the paper and burn it in the candle flame, holding it as long as you can without burning yourself.  Let the paper finish burning in a firesafe bowl or container.  And let the candle burn all the way out.  Do Not relight the candle, even if it burns out only half way through.  Just dispose of it by burying it outside, or, if you can&#8217;t do that, in a safe place where no one will find it and try to relight it.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve concentrated your intentions while burning your candle, you should begin to see signs that it&#8217;s working within 3 days.  You&#8217;ll bump into that certain someone in the elevator or win the cover-all at Bingo.  Little signs that will tell you your spell is beginning to work.  If, after one month, you see no signs of success, begin again with a new candle and a different spell.  </p>
<p>When practicing Candle Magic, or any magic at all, it&#8217;s always important to remember the Number One Rule &#8211; The energy that you put out will be returned to you in threes.  If you do a positive spell, asking for a positive or helpful result, then positive energy that&#8217;s returned to you will be tripled.  But if you perform a negative spell, meant to hurt or harm someone, be careful of the repurcussions!</p>

<p>Candle magic is one of the simplest, most basic forms of spell casting and can be practiced by anyone no matter their experience with spell casting.  The spells rarely require a lot of fancy ritual or expensive ingredients and can usually be performed on a small table or altar.  Basically, anyone with a candle can perform a spell.  Remember when you were a child a made a wish before you blew out the candles on your birthday cake?  That was candle magic.  Only now, instead of just hoping for a new bicycle, you&#8217;ll be consciously declaring your intent and naming your goal.</p>
<p>Casting spells with candles is an inexpensive and easy way to make your wishes come true.  For most spells, the only items required are a candle, a piece of paper and YOU.  For more intricate spells or to increase the spiritual bond between yourself and the candle, you can add in special herbs and oils.  Burning incense help carry your spell into the atmosphere, too.  But these things are not usually necessary if your goal is clear and your intent unwavering.</p>
<p>The most important thing to look for when selecting your candle is to be sure the color is the same all the way through.  You don&#8217;t want a white candle that&#8217;s been dipped in green paint.  You want a candle that is made of a solid green material.  Wax, Parrafin, Beeswax &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t matter as long as the color is uniform.  Since some Candle Magic spells require you to watch the flame until the candle burns out, you may want to try to find a smallish candle, not one of those big ones that burn for 48 hours!  You should also always use a brand new candle, that has been charged and consecrated by you, for each spell.  Never reuse a candle from spell to spell.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to be a serious spell caster, you&#8217;ll want to be sure to have several colors of candles on hand at all times.  You never know when you might meet a certain someone and want to take the relationship to the next level.  Here are some of the candle colors and their meanings: Red &#8211; Courage and health, sexual love and lust  Pink &#8211; Friendship, Romantic love  Orange &#8211; Attraction and encouragement  Gold &#8211; Financial gain, business success  Yellow &#8211; Persuasion and protection  Green &#8211; Financial gain, abundance, fertility  Light Blue &#8211; Health, patience and understanding  Dark blue &#8211; Depression and vulnerability  Purple &#8211; Ambition and power  Black &#8211; Negativity and banishment  White &#8211; purity and truth  Silver &#8211; Reflection, intuition</p>
<p>Next comes dressing, or charging, your candle.  This establishes and increases the connection between you and the candle and helps combine your spiritual energies.  Use a natural oil to dress your candle.  If your spell calls for a specific oil, then you must use that.  If not, use any oil of your choice.  Begin at the top of the candle and rub the oil down to the middle.  Then, begin at the base of the candle and rub the oil up to the middle, overlapping where you left off.  Rub in one direction only, not back and forth, as this negates the charging.</p>
<p>The most basic candle magic spells call for you to use a piece of colored paper that matches the color of your candle.  Simply write your goal or intent on the piece of paper while focusing and concentrating on your desired results.  Then simply fold the paper and burn it in the candle flame, holding on to it as long as possible without burning yourself.  Let the paper finish burning in a fire-safe container and allow the candle to burn out completely.  After the candle has burned out, burying the stub outdoors is best, but, if that isn&#8217;t possible, dispose of it and do not try to reuse it.</p>
<p>Within 3 days you should know if your spell is working.  If you&#8217;ve cast a love spell, perhaps you&#8217;ll start bumping into that person on the street.  Or, if it was a money spell, maybe you&#8217;ll win $5 on a scratch-off card.  If, after one month, you see no signs of success, perform a different spell with a new candle.  Do not re-use the candle and use a new spell, too.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to remember the Rule Of Three when performing even the simplest of candle magic spells.  The energy that you put out will be returned to you threefold.  If you do a positive spell, asking for a positive or helpful result, then positive energy that&#8217;s returned to you will be tripled.  But if you perform a negative spell, meant to hurt or harm someone, then that negative energy will also be returned to you threefold!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past several decades, countless motivational speakers, self-help books and councilors have been advising us that the best way to be happier, healthier and more prosperous is to think good thoughts and to maintain a positive attitude. While this makes perfect sense and that "your altitude is determined by your attitude," it is often difficult and sometimes almost impossible to regulate and control the thoughts that are constantly passing through our minds.

<p>Over the past several decades, countless motivational speakers, self-help books and councilors have been advising us that the best way to be happier, healthier and more prosperous is to think good thoughts and to maintain a positive attitude. While this makes perfect sense and that &#8220;your altitude is determined by your attitude,&#8221; it is often difficult and sometimes almost impossible to regulate and control the thoughts that are constantly passing through our minds.</p>
<p>&#8220;Positive thinking,&#8221; reading uplifting books and having optimistic friends have all been suggested as ways to keep one&#8217;s spirits up and to live a happier, more productive life. This is all good advice, but often old negative thoughts have a way of lingering and getting in the way of one&#8217;s progress.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, while it is easy for the conscious mind to accept that thinking in a positive way will most likely lead to better results in life, the subconscious mind often resists changing its old ways of operating. </p>
<p>When we are children our subconscious minds are filled with ideas that sometimes aren&#8217;t in our best interests when we&#8217;re adults. Conscious means are usually not very effective in changing these ways of thinking.</p>
<p>But there IS a way to override old limiting beliefs with new empowering ones. This fairly new technique is called &#8220;PSYCH-K&#8221; (&#8220;psychological kinesiology&#8221;),and although it is still relatively unknown,it has helped many people to create happier lives for themselves and their loved ones since it first appeared in 1988.</p>
<p>With help from trained PSYCH-K facilitator, a client chooses an area of his or her life that he or she would benefit from changing. The two of them then work together to think of some new subconscious beliefs that would be beneficial to the client. When these new beliefs have been decided upon,the facilitator guides client through a simple process that enables the client&#8217;s subconscious mind to assimilate and start using these new and improved beliefs.</p>
<p>Sometimes the changes are very dramatic and noticeable during the PSYCH-K session, but they can also be so subtle that they&#8217;re hard to detect at first. Whether it happens quickly or occurs over a few weeks or months, PSYCH-K can bring about some major differences in a person&#8217;s thought patterns and behaviors,leading to major positive improvements in the client&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>PSYCH-K is safe, easy and even fun. It is exciting to witness and experience the changes it can bring. I strongly suggest that if you don&#8217;t like the direction your life is going you do a bit of research to find out more about PSYCH-K and what it can do for you.</p>

<p>Visitors to the website created by Afterlife Phil G have found much peace in his words of comfort poem. Opening with the beautiful lines: &#8220;I have not gone. My body is beyond your reach, but my soul is touching yours.&#8221;</p>
<p>Available in full on &#8216;Afterlife Phil G&#8217;s&#8217; website on life after death, many have used the poem at funerals, or framed it to hang on a wall.</p>
<p>An email to Phil asks: &#8220;My wife passed a few months ago. I cannot bring myself to remove everything of my wife&#8217;s. I want to keep everything as if she&#8217;s still here. My friends say I need to let go. What do you advise?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It depends on the age of the person involved. If we are talking about a younger person, who still has their life ahead of them, there is a point where they should move on, let go, but they don&#8217;t have to live life without being able to contact them. Accepting of the situation, yes, but still being able to retain contact.</p>
<p>For parents who have suffered the loss of a child, or for older people who have lost their partner, it can be of enormous comfort to leave a room untouched, and be able to walk into it and feel as if they are still in the room. This is not just a wish but a reality, and if you follow my advice, you will be able to feel them in the room and verify it.</p>
<p>My &#8216;CoffeeTime&#8217; video combined with my poem and thoughts about contacting the afterlife have worked well for many, to sit in a room untouched, or holding an object or photo, and feeling the presence of the one they miss. My website on life after death shares my poem, video and more to help you.</p>
<p>Visitors to my site will know that my technique for contacting the afterlife and verifying it was an accidental discovery. After writing my book, I really wanted a free, simple way to tell people how to do this, and the result is a lovely poem which popped into my head one night a couple of years ago.</p>
<p>If you miss someone, I hope you will find comfort by visiting either of my websites philg.net.au or afterlifephilg.com and looking at my poem, video or other information. Don&#8217;t Grieve &#8211; theyre still with you. Phil G</p>
