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?

Astral Travel - The Truth Will Set You Free!

By Joe M Burns


When you have those dreams of flight, this is very similar to the experience of astral travel. The feeling of being airborne is much like the way that your astral body travels through the astral plane. All you need to do is focus on the place you want to be or on the things which you want and your astral body is there in the blink of an eye. When your physical body and mind are at rest, your astral body is free to roam the universe.

Although we may astral travel while we are asleep, it should not be mistaken for dreaming. Dreaming is quite different, since it happens entirely within your brain as it goes over what has happened that day, placing things into context and allowing you to get past them and awake rested the next day. Your dreams may or may not be remembered after you awake, which is an important difference between astral travel and dreaming.

When you wake remembering vividly even the smallest detail of what has happened as your body was at rest, this is almost certainly an astral travel experience rather than a dream which you are recalling. It's important to keep a journal where you can write down everything you remember. You'll want to add to this record and refer back to it periodically. It won't all make sense at first, but much like putting together a puzzle, a picture will begin to take shape.

Just as dreams allow your mind to process your day, astral travel refreshes the spirit. The experiences you have and the benefits you'll see as a result of astral travel are unique to you. This makes keeping an astral travel journal a good idea, since comparing your results to those of someone else is of little value.

While many of the beneficial effects of astral travel vary, one which is universal is an improved self awareness and a sense of where you fit into the larger universe. Having this knowledge brings inner peace and well being. In most people, memory and general alertness are also heightened since astral projection uses parts of the brain which often go undeveloped there are very real benefits of astral travel for your intellect as well as your spirit, it seems.

Astral travel tends to help other innate psychic talents come to the surface. Many who have learned to use astral travel say that they feel more telepathic and can more easily detect spiritual presences around them.

When you astral project, you don't just get to visit places and see things which you couldn't with your physical body. You also develop your mind and your psychic abilities and learn more about yourself.

Even those who previously expressed skepticism about the practice usually change their minds after having some experiences with astral travel. They often find that it changes the way that they look at the world and increases their ability to see things which may otherwise go unseen.

Other than these benefits, it should be remembered that there is also fun to be had! Astral travel allows you to do things and go places which are outside of your ordinary life; it's something like a vacation for your astral body.

The most surprising thing about astral travel is that it isn't done by everybody. The reason that it isn't more widely practiced is that there is a widely held misconception that only a select few are able to astral project. This however is not the case as anyone can learn to astral travel if they want to.

We have all experienced astral travel before, whether or not we are aware of having done so.

You should begin by simply allowing yourself to naturally have astral travel and writing down your experiences. After doing this for a while, you'll be able to begin trying to make astral travel happen consciously. It takes practice, but the benefits of learning to do so, as well as the experience itself are a great reward for your efforts.

All it takes is practice and there are many great resources which can help you prepare for astral travel. With a little time and effort, you can enjoy inner peace, self awareness and all of the other great things which learning to astral travel can do to improve your life.

By Jill Summers


Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning spherical which refers to the seven energy centers in our body that are circles of energy and the points where energy is received and transmitted. In simple words, one needs to open chakras and balance the energy flow so as to be physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually healthy.

Open chakras which are closed, blocked, or under active. The flow of energy from such a chakra needs to be opened up and balanced for the proper functioning of the physical and emotional aspects of that chakra. Hence, you should undertake a chakra test to identify the under active and blocked ones and thereafter open chakras through methods like meditation and other chakra exercises.

An individual needs to identify which chakras are blocked in order to open chakras. This can be easily understood by an individual from his physical and emotional feelings. Let's take an example. If you have problem regarding your digestive system, it is the chakra at the solar plexus which needs balancing. If somebody suffers from the fear of betrayal, his heart chakra needs to be mended.

A simple hand exercise can also be undertaken to identify the chakras that need balancing. Stretch out your dominant hand at you side and stand straight. Then with your other hand, touch the chakras one by one concentrating on each. Ask a friend to push your dominant hand down and repeat this two times for all the seven chakras. You will notice that this action will have a certain pattern with some being easy to push down while some not. Realize that you need to open the under active or closed chakras, for which your dominant hand was pushed down easily.

The closed or faulty chakras being identified, you can now open chakras by some simple techniques. One of them is meditation. The seven chakras of our body are represented by lotuses having specific number of petals and colors against them. All you have to do is meditate by visualizing the flower in the spot of the chakra while intensely concentrating and focusing on it to open up.

You can also open chakras by practicing chakra exercises. This includes a specific sitting posture along with a particular hand formation for each of the chakras. You need to sit down with a calm and clear mind and perform each of these 'mudras' coupling it with specific breathing instructions and saying aloud specific ancient and strong Sanskrit sounds. Thus, these chakra exercises along with the proper sound vibrations shall open chakras you desire.

Thirdly, one can also open chakras by positive thinking psychologically. Each chakra relates to some positives emotionally and some fears as the negatives. For example, emotionally your solar plexus chakra stands for personal power of which self esteem, self confidence, courage are the positives. Likewise, fear of rejection, criticism, etc are the negatives. Thus, if one consciously works on these fronts, then it will help balance the energy of this specific chakra and as a consequence your digestive process of the body to which this chakra is linked to physically will improve drastically.

Thus, we can conclude that first we need to analyze our body to see which chakras need to be opened and examined and thereafter we must work on opening them up through any of the techniques mentioned above, for the wholesome development of a person, in body, mind and spirit.
