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?

The Secrets of Chakra Energy

By Jonathan Benjem

Very few people acknowledge the presence of an internal energy reservoir in our bodies that is responsible for our physical and mental well-being. This lack of knowledge is more prevalent in the Western world, as the concept of spiritual energy was more prevalent and adhered to in the eastern countries, like India.

They call the phenomenon as the Chakra Energy. To a layman, it is the energy generated by the seven primary energy centers in the body. Interestingly, all these seven energy centers are situated in the upper half of the body, i.e., from head to the base of spine. These primary energy centers are:

* Base Chakra (RED) located at the coccyx (base of the spine).

* Spleen Chakra (ORANGE) located in the lower abdomen region, just below the navel.

* Solar Plexus Chakra (YELLOW) located in the stomach area.

* Heart Chakra (GREEN) situated in the center of the chest.

* Throat Chakra (BLUE) situated in the throat region.

* Third Eye Chakra (INDIGO) located in between the eyes.

* Crown Chakra (VIOLET) situated on top of the head.

Though invisible, these Chakras constantly and continuously rotate in the bodies at their stated positions. This movement is responsible for the production of energy, called Chakra Energy.

If their movement is not in sync, the health physical or mental is bound to suffer.

So, whats there to know about Chakra Energy? The entire Chakra System of the body is based on the spiritual side of our existence. Its more a matter of feeling than sensing. You can say that Chakra System is a part of the sixth sense in your body. The energy produced by the Chakra System is responsible for blessing you with a healthy life or cursing you with an unhealthy one.

This balance in the Chakra movement is whats precisely required to enjoy a healthy existence.

The next question that arises in our quest for knowing more about Chakra Energy is how easy or difficult it is to achieve a balance in the movement of these Chakras? With practice, perseverance, and belief, nothing remains difficult forever. Undoubtedly, it is not a learn overnight process, but the modus operandi is pretty simple. All it involves is to sit in a convenient body posture, and relax and feel every body part from the visible organs to the minutest cell within. Early on, youll feel several distractions, like body pain, wavering thoughts, diverse emotions etc., but if you stick with the routine and perform this exercise at least half an hour daily, the results will be positive.

You may ask if achieving physical and emotional well being is so simple, then why are the incidents of such ailments on the rise? The answer is pretty obvious. The advancements in the modern day living have translated into our increasing reliance on the materialistic things. In the worldly pursuits, man has slowly but surely lost contact with the spiritual aspect of his existence. This myopic mindset has robbed humans of their earthiness.

Fortunately, everything is not lost forever because the Chakra Energy is within, and you can correct the Chakra movements anytime you want to change your life for better. All it requires is sustained effort and a strong desire to make a healthy change in your life. If you appreciate and understand your body and its simple requirements, then balanced Chakra movements is not too difficult to achieve. Originally, our needs are not meant to go beyond what Mother Earth can naturally provide. However, the imbalance of Chakra movements is the price we have collectively paid for the scientific advancements. And Chakra balancing is the answer to all your health-related questions in the Twenty First Century.

Items To Understand About Gratitude Abundance

By Millie Laker

Are you a grateful person? Gratitude abundance will teach you to be grateful for many little things that you already have in order to get the things you need.

A grateful attitude can help you to overcome the negative thinking that may rule your life. You do not have to look far to find many things you should be grateful for.

One thing that many people can be grateful for is their health. If you are not healthy, you may realize how grateful you should have been when you did have health. If you have health, even if you were to lose everything else, it is often possible to start all over again and regain all that was lost.

Most persons should be grateful for shelter. Today there are persons that would be truly grateful for even the smallest of rooms in most homes to shelter their families form rain, cold or heat as well as disease carrying insects that may cause death to family members who are bitten in the night sleeping.

Persons reading this article have electricity, computers and power. For millions around the world these luxuries simply do not exist.

Are you grateful for the food that lines your cabinets tonight. Millions of children as well as their parents will go to be hungry tonight. These families are not just in third world countries but can be in your own state, city or even on your own street. If most of us do not want to eat what is in our homes we can jump in the car and pick up fast food without a second thought.

Are you grateful for your job. Recently the economy has been very harsh and many people have lost long term jobs as well as homes. Even after losing a job, many are provided for with unemployment compensation. Until they are able to find another job they may bring home a large percentage of the take home pay that they had when working a full time job.

Have you stopped to give thanks for your family of origin. They provided for you while you were unable to take care of yourself and may have paid your way through college. Tonight there are thousands of children that will sleep in the unfamiliar bed of a temporary emergency foster care home and may be moved to another home tomorrow. Thousands more still live in abusive homes and will go to bed tonight in fear.

With many things to be grateful for, many people still live life focused on only the negative things that have happened. They choose to focus on what they do not have rather on the blessings that are a part of life. The result of their negative thinking is those very things they long for are being pushed away from their lives.

Gratitude abundance teaches you how to be thankful for the little things. This will change your way of thinking so that you can use the power of positive thinking to get the things that you really want.

A Look At The Psychic World

By Danielle Andrews

Over the years, psychics have been the subject of countless movies, books, and television programs. Even in our modern world where cynicism and skepticism reign supreme, it seems that people have not lost their interest in pyschic abilities. If anything, psychics are more popular now than they have ever been.

What do we find fascinating about the idea of a psychic?

Many reasons exist for peoples interest and facination of people who are pyschic. First, some believe this gift was given to them for a reason, so that they will be able to help people using this special and rare gift. There are many other people who believe a psychic can help communicate with a deceased loved one. But mostly we are interested in psychics, because we believe in their powers and wish we had the special gift of the psychics.

Psychics - what can they do?

Most psychics have a particular area of expertise that allows them to take full advantage of their abilities. For example, some psychics can tell you about the future and others can tell you about the past. There are even psychics that can look more deeply into the present. They can tell you what others are thinking and about present relationships or careers. But by far the rarest kind of psychic are those who speak to the dead (mediums).

While it is true that psychics are a rare breed, perhaps they are not as rare as was once believed. In fact, many psychics maintain that all human beings are born with psychic abilities. But that only a select few actually learn to develop them, either on their own or with the help of psychic training.

Many legitimate reasons exist to explain why most individuals are unable to tap into their latent psychic abilities. Most obvious, of course, is that we do not believe in the power of the psyche. Whenever the powers reveal themselves, we simply dismiss them. As possible coincidence, dj vu or simply write them off as intuition. There literally exist dozens and dozens of handy explanations we use to invalidate the true psychic phenomena.

But in the next few paragraphs, we are going to show you how anyone with the will and a positive mindset can tap into their own hidden psychic abilities.

The techniques we are using are known as, or referred to as, psychic training. No weight lifting with your mind or walking on water to complete the training successfully. This training will enable you to open your mind to all the psychic abilities you were born with and help you to develop them.

That's all there is to the first step. Just open yourself up. On the other hand, if you do not believe in your psychic abilities then this psychic training technique might not work for you. However, you do not need to be a total true believer. To harbor some doubts is certainly possible and you can still obtain success with psychic training.

Where do you start developing your psychic powers?

The most important training technique, believe it or not, is meditation. This technique is used by millions of individuals all over the world. However, it is not used as a psychic training tool by most individuals, but still it can help in revealing their abilities psychic abilities.

Meditation helps people remove negative thoughts and feelings, which is what it takes to clear your psyche and reveal your hidden psychic abilities. This can often be accomplished in as little as thirty minutes a day, but it must be done every day! While you mediate, it is recommended that you use deep breathing techniques to release stress, doubt, negativity, and fear. After all, these are the thoughts and emotions that cloud your mind and dull your senses, and make it impossible to tap into your psyche abilities.

Meditation, in addition to psychic training, has a number of other favorable benefits. Not only does it help you to relieve stress and clear your mind, but also helps to unlock your hidden creative abilities.

In the psychic training process the next step and the final step we are going to talk about is fun and simple. You only need a deck of taro cards, a little patience and a good friend to help you. Psychics often use taro cards and the reason is simple. They are a tangible item and allow the psychic to focus their energies more efficiently.

It is necessary to concentrate as diligently as possible during the time you are giving a free reading. It is important to be calm and relaxed, especially if you are a beginner and always perform a reading on individuals you are comfortable with

By Adam Faux

The human ego, mind, and soul continue to be mysterious subjects.

Preparing for the Clairvoyance Test

By Adam R Haywood

Of all the well known paranormal abilities, clairvoyance is likely the one which fascinates people the most. There are quite a few people who have made it their mission to learn more about clairvoyance and are actively engaged in studying the phenomenon. These researchers have come up with several different kinds of clairvoyance test.

Clairvoyance is a controversial subject, with people convinced that it is entirely made up while others who have used their clairvoyant abilities are convinced that it is a very real thing. Still others are interested in seeing if they have this ability, possibly having read about the topic or even having seen others use the ability.

One of the biggest problems is that any people don't really seem to understand what clairvoyance is. It is basically an extra sense that can allow a person to look to the future or the past. These experiences are different for everyone, but sometimes people see things in their 'mind's eye' or they hear things.

Some people say that people who have clairvoyance have an ability that other people don't, but this isn't necessarily true. It actually seems more likely that most people are born with some level of ability in this area, but it is shut down as they get older. Children in our society who show signs of being clairvoyant are usually just told to stop imagining things or that things like that don't exist. This both frightens and confuses the child, and they ignore anything unusual that may happen. This eventually kills the ability.

Using a clairvoyance test program or other regular practice, almost anyone can rediscover this ability and make use of it. There are those who are naturally more inclined towards clairvoyance, but almost all of us can bring these latent abilities to the surface and develop them to some extent.

The essential beginning phase of any clairvoyance test is to develop your mind with the goal of accessing your latent clairvoyance. Meditation is among the most effective methods of awakening the subconscious mind and allowing this ability to be used.

The more practice that you put into building the strength of your paranormal abilities, the more varieties of clairvoyance test you will be able to use to see how your abilities are coming along. These tests will help you assess your ability to focus your mind and receive information about the past or future - and it will show you whether your clairvoyance tends to manifest as auditory or visual information.

While becoming a clairvoyant is something which everyone has the capacity to do, developing your abilities to this extend takes considerable effort and involves a significant amount of time. You will most likely want to use books on the subject and practice your abilities with others who are working to develop their clairvoyance. Like learning any new skill, this can be a challenge and this process is a much smoother one when you have some assistance and experienced guides.

As you work to bring your paranormal abilities to the fore, you will probably have a clairvoyance test at periodic intervals which will be given by those helping you to learn to use your natural clairvoyant talents. It is just part of the learning process and everyone who strives to develop their skills does this as a matter of course.

A Lesson From The Past: Past Life Regression

By Jimmi Creak

Past Life Regression, better known as PLR is the process wherein someone seeks to have access to the memories of the past lives in order to give meaning to unexplained current events.

Sometimes, this method is employed to understand relationship which may affect us deeply with no reason at all. Think about a lady who started falling for a young boy at first glance or the boy who recollects from his thoughts that he is connected with someone upon first meeting him.

Past Life Regression is not a foolish belief. It has its foundation from the popular belief of reincarnation and this is normally found in the "Law of Karma". This is a principle that suggests that the soul is at a journey merged with terms such as "Existence", "Universal Consciousness", and many others. During this journey, the soul took up the physical form of the body in order to understand life's lesson along the way.

Experts believe that there are wide array of means to access the memories of our past lives.

For one, there is the practice known as Hypnotism. Think about those scenes on the movies wherein the person is asked to stare a locket then presto, something weird happened to the lead character. The process of hypnotism will submit someone into a hypnotic trance for him to go back to his past life, to recall all of those events in graphic detail. Hypnotism is a process of Past Life Regression which works very precise in collecting accurate details about the past life of someone.

Another means to access past life is through Meditative Trance State which is a kind of guided meditation that will transport someone into his or her past life. During this process, the individual will remains conscious of the present. Once practiced, a person can take the time to do it on his own by listening to a CD / tape. He can further allow himself to go into a meditative trance without any help.

There is also the process of acupuncture among the methods of accessing Past Life Regression. The principle here is that there are various pressure points within the whole body which can arouse special processes of the brain. Acupuncture will make use of specific pressure points in order to effectively stimulate the areas of the brain that has something to do with memories from the past lives.

Aside from stirring our curiosity to the topic of who we are back then, this process of understanding past life can offer wide range of benefits. For one, this is very effective among those people who are on the search for deep, spiritual reasons about their ailments or problems in life.

It does not catch our interest to know that there are people who have doubts regarding the actuality of this process. After all, any kind of beliefs or practices that does not have any scientific proof is regarded as something erroneous by people. But let it be known that there are so many facts that were thrown in order to establish the credibility that Past Life Regression actually takes place. What you should do is to look for those people who can read your past life effectively. Nevertheless, there was a finding that suggests that those people who consider reincarnation as something which is true can potentially recall their past lives with no trouble.

Past life regression and memory of past lives is too important a subject to be dismissed out of hand and it is important that everybody does their own research to get the concept clear in their minds.

Do Not Allow Friends To Ridicule The Idea Of Taking A Past Life Test

By Corrine Cogger

When ordinary forms of therapy do not help with your emotional problems and you found nothing in your early life that is causative, it is sometimes easy to imagine it could be experiences from a past life that trouble you. Is there any way to take a past life test to determine if you lived before or not?

Into the discussion comes the age-old chicken or the egg controversy. If we have a series of lives, when was the original life, and how many do I go through before my last life? Is there a past life? Of course, there is no scientific answer to these questions. We can however, try to determine to our own satisfaction whether we lived before and when.

You may have unfounded fear of some inanimate object or an activity that should be pleasurable. Let us imagine you are terrified while playing the piano. You love playing the music but the fear spoils your pleasure. Let your mind open to the possibility that someone smashed your fingers in the piano during a previous life. If no experience in this current incarnation explains it, this may be possible.

You and a trusted therapist came up with no viable answer after trying therapies including hypnosis. Hypnosis, as you may know, is no stage type mysterious phenomenon. It is deep relaxation that allows you to remember facts deeply buried in your memory. If that brought no hidden memories, you may want to take it to the next step.

There are therapists who specialize in past life age regression. We are not referring to a lady in a tent who for five dollars tells you what she sees in her crystal ball. These are academically trained professionals with an interest in helping people explore the past life they may or may not have experienced.

With past life age regression you may be able to connect your unreasonable fear in life to an incident that happened in a previous incarnation. Those who refuse to consider reincarnation a possible reality cannot be helped in this way obviously. Their minds are closed to the possibility. However, it may be the therapy that helps you confront and deal with your current emotional problems. Confronting a problem and working your way through it are the goal of any therapy.

Past life age regression may unravel they mystery of what is making you anxious, frightened or going through an unfounded phobia. Since knowledge is power, this may be a strong tool to use. There is no proof that reincarnation is either factual or not. But, don't let the fear of ridicule stop you from exploring the possibility. Be cautious in choosing a therapist though. He or she should be educated and credentialed as a therapist and have special interest in therapies related to reincarnation

It is best not to wander down the path of visualizing yourself having been Napoleon Bonaparte or Queen Elizabeth the first. Just as the chances of winning a lottery are slight, so is the likelihood of you having been a famous historical figure. Keep your mind open, select your therapist carefully and keep an open mind as you explore this fascinating possibility that you have had previous incarnations. A past life test may answer your questions.
