Mantras are chants that you repeat over and over to connect with the vibration of something that you desire. They are usually used during meditation. The vibration from mantras can actually rearrange your molecular structure. Different mantras can be used, depending on your intentions...and they can be one word, or a whole poem or prayer. It is said that you get the best results from repeating the shorter mantras 108 times, and the longer ones 3 times for each session. Repeating the mantra morning and night for 20 days is recommended. Mantras, like crystals, tarot cards, prayers, etc. are tools that you can use to work with energy. Ah and Om/Aum are the most commonly used mantras. Om is believed to be one of the first, if not the very first mantra. It connects the chanter with the energy of the universe, and forms a bridge between realms. It is the mantra of the inner self, the soul. Ah is another powerful sound. It is the mantra of creation and outer self. It is used for manifestation. It is the sound of the heart chakra, and compassion. The combo of Om and Ah is used for manifestation, as well as the mantra Ara Kara, setting your intentions on what you desire, and sending it into the spiritual realm, and then manifesting it onto the physical plane. Each of the chakras has its own mantra that can be used: Root chakra: Lam Sacral: Vam Solar Plexus: Ram Heart: Yam Throat: Ham Third Eye: Om Crow: Om There are many mantras that you can find online and in books, and the trick is to find one or more that resonate with you and what you want to accomplish. I for instance can use the Ah or Om but I have a hard time with the long sentences that are not in English. You can use whatever feels right or comfortable to you. Some examples of English mantras would be : "Beauty surrounds me" "Where I am right now is exactly where I need to be" "Love" "I am a magnet for joy and abundance" You can find a favorite quote from a song or book. The choices are endless. I hope this gives you an idea about mantras, and if you are interested please continue studying about them.

Just as with the element of air, spirit is an element that can not be seen. It must instead be felt. It is the only element that can not cause destruction...and can not be destroyed. It is our soul...the life within our physical bodies...who we are. We are not physical beings with a soul, but rather souls within a physical shell...here to experience life on earth and to learn. The beliefs that you have regarding the spirit will depend on your upbringing, and what religion you are. I believe however that souls never die...they have always existed...and they are eternal. Those who are well aligned with their souls will find life easy...a path clearly laid out before them. They will always know the right thing to do, the right thing to say, the right moment to start something new. It is as if the universe bends to their wills. That is because they are in tune with their spirit, and they are manifesting the life of their dreams. Their minds, intentions and feelings are all in alignment with their soul and its purpose. If that is not you...then the life you have now is a result of the imbalance of mind and spirit...as well as a product of all of the thoughts, words and intentions that you have had up until now. Ways to Align Yourself With the Element of Spirit
Deepak Chopra says that our soul is the "silent witness." If you try to see things in that way...you will feel your soul and become more aligned with it. It is the one who watches, listens, witnesses your life...without fear, without emotion, without pain. I highly recommend Chopra's book "Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire." It would definitely be worth your time to work on aligning yourself with your spirit. When your mind and spirit are not aligned it's like trying to flow up the river of life against the current and uphill. It just doesn't work well, and you end up at a destination where you were never intended to be. Best wishes in your soul searching! So far we have covered the elements of earth, water, and fire. Today we will cover the element of air. The element of air represents creativity, imagination and intellect. It is a symbol of change and new possibilities. Air is the breeze that blows through the trees. It is the oxygen that we need to survive. As with the other elements, it has a dark side. In its most powerful form it is hurricanes and tornadoes, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Those aligned with the element of air are creative, intelligent, and thoughtful. They have a strong intuition, and can quickly come up with creative solutions to any problem. Here are a few ways to align yourself with the element of air:
That concludes the discussion for now of the four traditional elements. Tomorrow however I will be discussing what some consider the fifth element...the element of Spirit. Just as water is the element of unmanifested potential, fire is the element of actualized potential. It represents action, passion, spontaneity, and life at its fullest. We can use fire for cooking, for warmth, and for light. The element of fire can can be used for healing, strength, meditation and enhanced psychic abilities. Those well aligned with the element of fire will be so in tune with the world that they will seem incredibly lucky to those who are not. They are aware of the inner voice of their soul, and act upon the impressions that they receive. It is the power of the sun...the feeling of joy. Fire can also be dangerous however...so caution must be used when you work with the fire element. Here are a few ways to align yourself with the element of fire:
Best of wishes in aligning yourselves with the elements. Tomorrow I will discuss the element of air! As with the element of earth, the element of water can be used for healing. It embodies the feelings of emotion and all encompassing love. Water is not just a physical necessity for us. It can be used in so many ways. You can drink it, bathe in it, play in it, and lose yourself in it. Meditating in water is a great way to relax, cleanse your chakras, and improve your psychic abilities. Water is the symbol of unmanifested potential, of transformation. It is a liquid...but can easily be frozen and become a solid, or evaporated and become a gas. It is constantly in motion...ever changing. It is soft and comforting, yet strong enough to impose itself upon the earth, wearing even solid rock to sand. Tidal waves and rain storms show the full force of the element...creating floods, landslides and devastation. Ways to align yourself with the powerful element of water:
Tomorrow I will write about the element of fire. All of the elements are essential. They all contain qualities that we should embody, and align ourselves with. In astrology there are three signs of the zodiac which are associated with each element. It may be easiest for you to attune to the element associated with your astrological sign first. All of the elements can be used for energy healing, each aiding in its own way. As you attune and work with the elements, you will need to decide which would be best for the situation at hand. As an example you would not want to build a fire if someone had a fever. As long as you use your common sense and your intuition...you will know what to do. If you have any questions please let me know! There are four main basic elements in the world....namely Earth, Fire, Air and Water. There is a fifth which is recognized by some...and that is usually called Spirit or Ether. Every life has bits of these elements within them. Each of these elements is unique, and you can use the energy of the elements in healing and in every day life. Today I am going to talk about Earth energy and how to use it for healing, energy and strength. I am going to share an exercise with you, and you will definitely feel the results if you try it. I have used it many times, even just to get a boost of energy when I was feeling tired. The great thing is that once you have tried a few times it will become quicker and easier...so you can even get a little boost of energy and strength while you're at work or on the go. Also I found this exercise years ago, and I don't remember if I found it online or in a book. I adjusted it a little to suit my needs, but if I find the original source I will note it here. Earth is the element of strength and endurance. It is a powerful representation of nature...solid and unyielding... earthquakes, mountains and valleys. It also represents growth, and grounding. You can do this exercise standing up, but I recommend that at least for the first time you sit in a chair with your feet on the floor. If you can sit outside that would be even better, but it is not necessary. Running Earth Energy 1. Sit down with your feet flat on the floor. 2. The bottom of your feet and toes contain small chakras. Try to feel them now. Feel them open and spin...then purposely try to close them until you don't feel them again. Open and close them several times so that you can feel the difference. Once you can really feel them open and spinning move on to step 3. 3. Close your eyes, and in your head picture the energy within the earth...feel your connection to the earth. See the great, powerful energy flowing through the earth, and give the energy a color...green works best for me as I associate it with the earth and nature. 4. See that powerful energy now start to enter through the little chakras in your feet. See the energy moving slowly up your foot. You will definitely feel the strong vibration of the energy...a tingling feeling. 5. Keep visualizing the green energy working its way up your body. If you have any area that has been troubling you, let the energy linger there a bit longer...healing and nurturing you. 6. Once you have visualized and felt the energy reach all the way to the top of your head, imagine that it comes out the top of your head and showers out around you...replenishing your aura with any needed energy, and falling back into the earth...full circle. You should feel much more energized after doing this exercise. Get up slowly however, as it is very powerful and you may feel dizzy or overwhelmed for a few minutes afterward. Then go and enjoy your day! I hope you enjoyed this exercise...if you try it please leave your comments on my contact page and tell me about your experience! Crystals have long been used in the process of healing. They can aid in the recovery from many illness and conditions. While I would say that they are not a replacement for proper medical care, they can help to balance the body's energy systems, which then lays the proper foundation within which healing can be attained. The process is called "laying on of stones." Crystal healing is produced by energetic vibrations that emanate from the crystals. Each crystal vibrates at a different frequency...and therefore each is used for a different purpose. Certain crystals or stones can also be used for chakra healing and balancing. Healing is performed by either placing the appropriate crystal on the body, or by swinging or holding the crystal above the area that needs healing. Another option is to wear crystal jewelry. The clear quartz crystal is the most widely used. It is an energy amplifier and can be used to heal as well as to increase the vibrations of other crystals being used. I am going to cover here the crystals which may be used to heal the energies of the chakras...and the basic ailments associated with each chakra...for more information on the chakras you can check out my other posts. Here I am going to be saying crystals but gemstones may be used as well. 1st chakra - red - Crystals - garnet, smokey quartz, obsidian, black tourmaline, hematite, red zincite ailments include leg and foot pain, bowel disorders, and adrenal gland dysfunction 2nd chakra - orange - Crystals - carnelian, orange calcite, tigers eye low back pain, hip joint deterioration, muscle stiffness, bladder and reproductive issues, and distention of the abdomen 3rd chakra - yellow - Crystals - citrine, topaz, golden calcite, yellow jasper chronic fatigue, diabetes, and disorders of the liver, stomach, pancreas and gall bladder 4th chakra - pink and green - Crystals - rose quartz, malachite, jade, aventurine, watermelon tourmaline hypertension, heart disease, circulatory problems, chronic bronchitis, lung and breathing problems as well as a weak immune system 5th chakra - blue - Crystals - aquamarine, sodalite, azurite, turquoise, blue calcite diseases and/or tension of the neck, jaw, mouth and shoulders, as well as the thyroid gland 6th chakra - dark blue or indigo - Crystals - lapis, sugilite, blue flourite, clear quartz, azurite poor vision, headaches, obsessions, nightmares, extreme fantasizing, and in some cases even hallucinations or delusions 7th chakra - violet, white or clear - Crystals - amethyst, opal, clear quartz, white calcite, white topaz you may feel confused, disconnected, have learning disabilities Today I want to start off by speaking a little bit about magic. What is magic? Well I'm glad you asked...it's energy manipulation. Everything is made up of energy...and since we are ourselves made of energy, we can learn to manipulate the energies of nature...and create "magic." It is the same as energy healing, or gemstone therapy, aromatherapy, etc. It draws on the energy of nature to create a desired outcome. I am not saying that I am a witch or Wiccan or anything like that, though I have studied many religious beliefs. I do believe that sometimes when one has a script to follow it is a little easier to focus your intention...which is what is needed for the manifestation of your desire. That said I am going to post today a spell that I came across which asks for healing abilities to be bestowed upon you. Now I do believe that we are all born natural healers, but sometimes as we grow up we shut down that portion of ourselves. This spell may be something you want to try, and it might not...but I always believe in keeping an open mind. There is so much in the universe that we are not even aware of...anything is possible. Spell For Healers Panacea and Hygeia, twin breasts of the goddess Rhea, feeders of the sacred serpent, sustainers of life so fervent. You who heal all; the vital milk of the goddess, guard me from disease and strife. Bless me with curative powers to create, preserve, sustain and nurture life. I summon you, Asklepios. Please teach me how to diagnose, O great curing god who carries the rod. Let the sacred art of healing flow through my hands. Let my work be guided by your immortal plans. Bring insight, intuition back to my field. Thy wisdom, thy power, thy healing arts yield. Consecrate me with your staff, a healer on your behalf. Like I said...I'm sure this isn't for everyone...and if you want to do it but want to change it around a little bit that will work too. If you can't say it with great emotion and feeling, believing that it will work...change it until you can because that is the only way it WILL work. Hope you enjoyed this little detour into magic. Love and Peace Flower essences have been used for over 70 years to aid in the healing of certain ailments. They are very different from aromatherapy or essential oils, in that they are not concentrated. It is the positive energy of the flower which is captured...and as such this is another method of energy healing. The essence of the flower is used to make a tincture. You can then place drops of it under your tongue, or take it in water. They should generally be used 3-4 times a day. You can also add it to bath water, or apply it directly to the skin. Flower essences have been used worldwide to cure many ailments, and aid in the healing of cancer, drug addiction, chronic pain, fatigue, PMS, poor sleep, low energy and more. There are also essences which aid in spiritual development and intuition. Flowers for Energy
Mood Lifters
Flowers for Spiritual Development
For Alcoholism
Flowers For Anxiety
Flowers for Drug Addiction Symptoms
As you can imagine there are way too many flower essences to list them all here, and there are essence combinations that you could buy or create. Also some of these essences may only be available in certain countries...where the flowers grow. Also some of these may be poisonous if ingested in the wrong way or the wrong amount...so please study them well and maybe ask a doctor if you plan to use them. I am sure however that for any ailment you can find an essence in your country which will help you...and you can pretty much buy anything from anywhere online!
