The Ambiance of Candles

By Jim Slate

Slate and Artsmith - The candle is a powerful symbolic feature in the human perspective. There is nothing more intimate and relaxing than the gentle flickering of a tiny flame. Its delicate dance upon wind and wick is enchanting, casting a spell upon the watcher who gazes lazily into the light.

When you watch a candles flame it almost seems alive. It moves of its own accord, devouring the wick to sustain its flame, so that it can continue to dance upon the gentlest of breezes. It is your own personal performer, an almost silent show played out before you.

The ambiance that is created by the presence of candles is ethereal. Illuminating less than regular fixtures, shadows are cast on the space, making everything seem a little less real. The world is hazy, and wavering. In such a space anything can happen. If you are alone, you may find yourself slipping into a phantasm. If you are with someone else, the dream may be shared. The possibilities are endless, and are dictated more by the will of your mind than by the realities of the world.

That is why candles are so romantic. They represent small, inefficient lights. Left in shadow we are less inhibited. Hidden behind a mask of darkness, it is easier for us to take a leap of faith, and easier someone else to accept your leap. Meanwhile, the flickering flame sets a rhythmic beat, a constant pulse of glow that acts as the backdrop to any situation.

Their romantic power is so overwhelming, that their mere presence can turn a mundane room into a passionate retreat. Try a few scattered around the bathroom, the bedroom, or even the living room. With the lights dimmed and the candles glowing, you can instantly set the mood, with little or no effort.

Candles are a powerful connection with a past set in darkness. They are the light that has sustained us through a thousand generations. Gentle yet passionate, they embody an idea of simple beauty, whose purity is its greatest asset.

Why Manifesting Money Is A Very Real Idea!

By Simon Hearn

The idea of manifesting money for anything you want or need is often confusing to many people. After all, we've been brought up to believe that 'money doesn't grow on trees', or perhaps your parents instilled the belief that 'you have to work hard for money'.

These ingrained beliefs can lead many people to think that manifesting money is impossible.

You need to understand however that having abundance and manifesting money is more than just possible. You would truly be amazed at the things that your thoughts can accomplish for you if you just let them.

Take a look around you right now. The person you are today, your job, your home, your relationship, the amount of money in your bank account. All these things are a result of your own thought patterns.

Most people automatically become skeptical after hearing this. After all, how many times a day do you wish for more money, a different home, a nicer car or a better job? If thoughts had power to manifest money into your life, then these people should be millionaires, right?

Wishing for a thing to happen and manifesting money into your life are two completely different thought processes. Wishes are like day-dreams and everyone has little fantasies about being rich or having everything they desire. Manifesting abundance into your life is partially to do with the things you think about, but you also need to believe you're worthy of receiving the things you manifest into your life.

As an example, have you ever heard about people who win huge amounts of money on lotteries, only to be broke again a year later? Those people have successfully manifested massive amounts of money, but when they don't believe they're worthy of receiving it, they make unwise choices and end up losing everything they've gained.

So how do you manifest money into your life whenever you need it to arrive?

Reset Your Acceptance Levels - If you're living in an area you don't like, have a job you don't enjoy or have no money in your bank account, deep down there's a thought process inside you telling you that you don't deserve any better. In order to manifest money enough to have the things you want, you need to reset your acceptance levels.

Inner Speak - Learn to listen to your inner thoughts. When you notice any negative thoughts or cynical thoughts, make an effort to replace those with positive affirmations. Tell yourself often that you do deserve to have all the things you want. This might feel false the first few times because of long-ingrained habits, but your mind will eventually begin to realize that you do deserve to receive the things you want.

Understanding-While money might be your goal, it's important to know that you can't just it magically appear. You need to think about a few things first, one of the most important being why you actually want the money. If you don't know, it's not going to show up.

The Real Situation-By manifesting money, you should know that it won't just show up at your front door. You need to believe that you are worth it, and once you do, many different opportunities to gain that money you deserve..

Though you might have dreams, dreams are all they'll be unless you learn to manifest money The best part about it however, is that it's a lot easer than you think.
