Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How To Cleanse Gemstone Necklaces

By Isabelle Morton

Her desk is becoming more and more cluttered, and nothing will get done until she clears this clutter away. This familiar scenario is a metaphor for the need to properly cleanse healing gemstone necklaces. With proper care, the necklaces' capabilities are extensive. During a therapy session or simply by wearing them, gemstones rid the patient's body and aura of unwanted energies. Unwanted energies congregate in the energy field that surrounds healing gemstones, as well as on their surface. Unwanted energies get in the way of the gemstones' healing powers, and the stones must be cleansed, much like the individual must clear her desk before further work can be accomplished.

There are many methods to cleanse gemstone necklaces. Running water, sunlight, moonlight, soil cleansing, smudging, salt, and clay packs and baths are among some of the common cleansing methods. In addition to these, we now have cleansing sprays made with the energetic imprint of gemstone energies specially designed to clear a variety of unwanted energies. This method may be the fastest, easiest, and most effective of all.

While cleaning your gemstone necklaces with water might seem practical, water cleansing is only effective on crystals, crystal clusters, and other non-threaded mineral kingdom therapy tools. The foremost problem with cleansing gemstone necklaces with water is premature breakage. If you have a serious health condition, it is necessary to cleanse your therapeutic gemstones daily, if not more often, and such frequent cleansing leads to a weakening of the thread. If your water is chlorinated, it will also deteriorate the thread, and should not be used for cleansing gemstones. Furthermore, you'll get the most benefit from a necklace if you maintain constant physical contact with it. In the process of drying a necklace you lose this contact. You then lose the supportive resources the gemstones built up when you were wearing them.

Another popular cleansing method is the sunbath. However, sunlight is capable of bleaching the color from certain gemstones, and worse, it can transmit harmful solar radiation. The answer is to sunbathe your gems behind a windowpane to shield them from solar radiation. However, the sunlight is then only capability is loosening unwanted energies from gems. The unwanted energies will remain prominent in the gemstone's energy field until they are cleared.

Moonlight baths can be effective, but only for certain gemstones. Sugilite is one of these gems. Although it may seem that the moon's light (or, rather, the sun's reflection) does the cleansing, it is in fact the moon's gravitational pull. If you choose to make use of the moon for gemstone cleansing, first spray the gems with the new cleansing sprays, and then place them outside in a protected area that will be bathed in the moon's energy for at least a few hours.

If you have easy access to a protected garden, you can easily cleanse your gemstones while also granting them rejuvenating Earth energies. Plant and soil microbes have a natural, life-giving energy that can neutralize accumulated unwanted energies on and around the gemstones. Pesky animals, however, occasionally enjoy digging up and relocating gemstones, much to their owners' dismay. Owners have reported finding their gemstones weeks or months later, and often on the opposite side of the yard. Also, soil particles often get stuck in the thread and drill holes of a necklace, which will require water cleansing. Soil exposure can also dull the surfaces of certain gemstones, such as the softer Apatite, Fluorite, and Rhodocrosite.

Simply placing your gemstones in a bowl of salt is an easy method. Unfortunately, it isn't a complete cleanse. A salt crystal is able to take in many of a gemstone's accumulated unwanted energies-but not all of them. The salt is also incapable of dispersing these energies. It is therefore necessary to replace the salt every two to three days.

At first examination, clay seemed to be the gemstone-cleansing champion. Not only is clay capable of removing unwanted energies from the stones, but it also removes x-rays and electromagnetic radiation. Nevertheless, the downside to clay cleansing becomes apparent soon enough. Aside from being messy and time-consuming, clay puts unnecessary stress on the silk, and it actually deteriorates some gemstones.

The problems that arise with gemstone and crystal cleansing have been solved by cleansing sprays made of the energies of healing gemstones. Since the cleansing method is effective and efficient, and minimally moistens the silk, the sprays banish the chance of premature necklace breakage. While water can dull the polish of gems such as Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, and Mother of Pearl, the sprays do not. Furthermore, by using the sprays, you will never have to break contact with your necklace.

These sprays are safe, thorough, easy to use, and effective. They are capable of removing unwanted energies not only from the surfaces of gemstones, but also from within them, as well as from their surrounding energy fields. In addition, the sprays can clear a wide variety of unwanted energies, including negative energies, emotional energies, thought forms, entity contamination, pain residues, electromagnetic radiation, and the accumulation that blurs and obscures information communicated by our genes. Finally, the sprays provide a way for clinical practitioners to apply therapeutic gemstones in practice. Practitioners now have the ability to quickly, easily, and effectively cleanse their gem and crystal healing tools between patients.

How To Release Your Own Psychic Powers

By Dave Lubrick

Acknowledging and using the sixth sense is the gift of psychic abilities. Although, everyone has them; paranormal enthusiasts and science fiction fans cannot get enough of them. Hollywood has for years made good use of creative imagination and psychic abilities to create interesting tales of psychic healing and psychic revenge. However, psychic powers are available to every human; the degrees of strength may vary of course. Many 'how to' psychic websites around to help you understand more.

Whether it is the reading of minds, foreseeing the future or communicating with someone from another dimension, many are curious of how to gain such psychic power or if it is within the DNA makeup of special individuals.

According to many how to psychic sites, the answer is both. Some get luck and are born with theses abilities, while others have achieved them through training their mind to do what they wish. Many books have touched on this, but a few methods remain constant regardless of who is teaching. They're not hard to do, but it takes time and practice to get the psychic powers desired.

Universally, meditation is well suited for gaining knowledge, calming the soul and experiencing the inner self as well as training you. While in a meditative state, mind reading and clairaudience or super hearing and listening can be practiced.

Others may take on more specific methods. Theses may included meditating on a particular area or trigger items. Mediums most often use meditation, depending of course on what it is they are in search of.

The ruling power of the mind is perception in all things. Consider the act of squinting to gain better sight; it is the same with perception and the psychic mind. You can find training for anything from mind reading, moving items with your mind, communicating with spirits or even picking the winning lottery ticket. Other means of developing your natural psychic powers on command involve practice and training.

Finely tuning and sharpening your higher senses with practice is essential before facing the real world outside. Depending on the individual this new experience can be either very rewarding or terribly devastating. Some feel overwhelmed by sights, sounds and feelings. Small steps are necessary, natural and normal for anyone. However, keep in mind that misuse can cause severe repercussions. You must verify your abilities and use them wisely, while learning of the wonderful ideas and possibilities you can achieve.

What can you do with the powers of your mind? The only limit you have is within your own imagination and efforts. Many simply assume that psychics go about offering help to people with problems using crystal balls and tarot cards. However, this is far from truth. Psychics may work as entertainers, military and hospital personnel as well as any other human field of career. They just have a special gift that allows them to do a better job. Very few openly choose to allow the world to use their gifts.

Many may ponder that is good things come about with such abilities, what the worst of things could occur. The answer to this question is within the freewill of each person. It depends upon characters, personalities and moods. It is not so much a good or evil ability. Destructive powers can be achieved; however, sad or unfortunate. The same abilities move objects and stop bullets; however, it is the individual that makes the choice to use his or her abilities.

You can find a nice selection of resourceful books, DVDs and CDs by visiting various how to psychic websites. Only a handful may offer free lessons or training to develop your psychic powers and abilities. However, it is a great way for many to get their messages and advice out to other interested parties.

More and more psychics are building website in order to help others online rather than in person. Many do charge for their services in order to make a living while spending their time in the aid of others.

Everyone has their own set of personal psychic powers; we were all born with them. However, many have forgotten and it may take many years for some of us to achieve their use. Your psychic abilities are awesomely heavenly. Although, some may use their powers for personal gain, others are working in aid of new universal light and goodness.

The possibilities of what you may achieve are only limited by your imagination. Learn to better control your psychic abilities by taking advantage of the various how to psychic resources available to you online today.

Look Into The Past Life To Understand The Present

By Glenda Burns

Past life regression is a hypnosis technique performed by an experienced hypnotherapist to help you recover memories from your past lives. The goal of this type of therapy varies from patient to patient. Sometimes people do it for curiosity, to see who they were before they incarnated into this life. Others want to identify things that they may have done in their previous life that might be affecting them in their current life. If you are experiencing blocks or seem to be struggling with the same issues, you may want to try looking at the past life for answers.

The practice of regression therapy was first mentioned in the Upanishads of ancient India. However, the bulk of what is known about it comes from the writings of the scholar Pantanjali. Pantanjali wrote that the soul accumulated karma with each physical incarnation and that looking at past lives could help solve problems that were occurring in the present life.

A person can experience past life regression a couple of different ways. You can work with a hypnotherapist who will put you under hypnosis and begin asking you questions that help paint a picture of one of your previous lives. Although it is painless, many patients reported having especially vivid memories that made them feel like they were there.

Another way to harness the power of regression therapy is to use audio recordings to guide you into a deep mediation where you can access your hidden memories. However, if meditating is something new to you, it could take one or two tries before you begin experiencing results so don't give up on the first try.

Each option has its own set of benefits and consequences and which one you choose depends on your level of comfort and experience with regression therapy. If you are squeamish about trying to do it yourself or you have never regressed to a previous life before then getting a hypnotherapist to help you may be your best bet. If you have experience with regression therapy or you already meditate on a daily basis then using the audio programs may be just right for you.

Regression therapy can help you clear out psychic clutter that has been holding you back from the success you have been craving. You'll see yourself differently and may experience an increase in self confidence. Deep emotional problems, hangups or phobias will seem to ease up and may eventually just fade away. You may also experience an improvement in your general health and well-being.

Like most alternative therapies, past life regression has its share of critics. The skeptics declare it an invalid science because the information patients give cannot be confirmed or inaccurate information is given. Although regression therapy is not perfect, it has helped many people move past mental blocks that were in their way of achieving emotional and spiritual growth.

The past life can be an excellent resource to turn to for wisdom that can help you in your current life. It may be just the thing you need to move forward.

There Is Sometimes Indication That You Lived In Past Life

By Gillian Frith

No disrespect to Hinduism and Buddhism. These two religions hold reincarnation as one of their basic tenets. But, reincarnation just sounds practical. How much space would there be in an afterlife that included the hoards of people who passed away throughout time. If each person was reborn repeatedly in past life, that would explain the space issue.

But, who can say for sure until, well, until they pass away themselves. More people believe in this occurrence than disbelieve. There are more religions that believe in reincarnation. For non-spiritual people, it still seems a common answer to life's mysterious happenings.

Most people have the experience of being in a place they are sure they have been in before. But, perhaps they are vacationing in a country they never visited before. They see a building and feel a chilly fear as if something bad happened there. How many years has that building been here you wonder. Is it possible you had something happen to you here in a previous life?

Therapy is always a possible way to help you deal with life's problems. There is a specific type of therapy for different problems. Psychoanalysis, Jungian Dream Therapy and scream therapy have all been somewhat successful at different times in history. If you seek out a past life regression therapist, be sure you are choosing a reputable person with good credentials.

For help in locating one, turn to the International Association of Past Life Therapists. I would make sure they are well-education professionals before starting. If you do not seem to be making progress, turn to someone who belongs to the American Psychological Association.

You might try meditation on your own. Sit in a quiet environment and repeat a mantra over and over until you are in an almost hypnotic state. This is a wonderful relaxation technique. It may help you recall childhood events. It may even take you back to a previous life. This cannot be proved, but it may help explain things to you. In circumstances where you remember something you are unsure about, you cannot ever be certain about a past life event. It may have a logical connection to some event in your current life though. Meditation, if not able to help you understand your problems, is a marvelous method to relax and feel better by doing so.

Hypnotism is another possible form of therapy to try. Find a therapist certified in this field and explain your suspicions about having past life memories. She will help you explore those suspicions in a realistic and safe way. Some people actually receive information they can verify. A name or address, or publicized event may be confirmed through research.

Your previous life or lives may always remain a myth to you. No one will ever provide solid evidence of God or the afterlife. The only people who know for sure are those who have passed away. Don't worry about your phobia, just try to understand it in terms of getting over it. Any relief therapy can provide from anxiety is well worth the time spent with a therapist.

You may or may not believe in reincarnation but, why make fun of those who do? Just deal with your problems in view of this life and don't spend all your time and effort on introspection. Sure, you may have been Cleopatra in a previous life. However, if you lived before, you may have been an unknown John Jones in past life. Whatever the situation, don't let it overwhelm the pleasure you can find in this life.

Recovering To Find New Happiness After The End OfA Long-Term Relationship

By Tracey McMillan

Moving on after the end of a long term relationship is tough for anyone. It can bring up buried feelings and make you feel overwhelmed. It's not easy to start fresh.

The dating word can see foreign to you if you've just come out of a long term relationship. The rules may seem strange or different from the last time you were looking for a mate. It can be discouraging.

Don't worry if you are feeling overwhelmed. It's natural to be conflicted at such a time. What you should do is realize that others are in the same situation and you can begin in a small way.

Take some time out for yourself. If you've just come out of a long term relationship it may be hard for you to find your way at first. You may be so used to doing things as a couple that you forget how to be single.

Think of this, as all about you. Take stock in yourself and decide what you're happy with and what you would like to improve. Do things that you have wanted to do but never had time for as part of a couple. Go the places you like, eat the food you want and be with friends of your choosing.

You may find that you might want to rethink your look before you get on the dating scene. Many times when people are in a relationship, they get complacent. They gain weight or stop dressing stylishly.

A lot of people tend to gain weight when they are in long term relationships. If that includes you, you may want to join a gym or go on a diet so you can be looking your best when you hit the singles scene. You'll feel more healthy and positive about yourself.

You'll know when you're ready to date again. You will want to find a partner to spend time with and if you are true to yourself you will be fine.

Helping A Depressed Friend

By Karen Hanley

The already high rate of depression continues to soar across America. In today's world, it's not uncommon to personally know someone who suffers from depression. In fact, if anything it's now the new norm. If you do know someone who is stuck in this situation, what do you do?

It is important for everyone to know how to handle people with clinical depression. You never know, you might be the person who saved someone from suicide.

If a friend of yours walks up to you and tells you how depressed they are, do not tell him to just get over it and change the topic. Instead, ask the person what makes him feel that way.

When he starts sharing his emotions and feelings, offer your unsolicited advice. Sometimes, these people just need someone they could pour their heart out to and not someone who would lecture them on what they should do instead.

If the friend sounds like they might be considering killing themselves or discuss this in anyway, you have to pay attention. You should try and stay with them until you are sure they are feeling ok.

If the person says he does not want to talk about it, that means he really does not want to. Offer comfort by just being there with him during this tough time and save your curiosity for later.

You might not guess it but by just simply being around this person, you could actually prevent them from killing themselves. Many folk who've had depression have said that the blackness has lifted when they have been around someone who is compassionate and cares. You should try this compassionate and caring individual.

Lastly, your friend might need more than just you to help him out. Consider contacting a licensed professional, potentially a psychologist, to make sure your friend can start feeling better. Sometimes all it takes is a prescription to make an individual feel better.
