The Energy within Crystals


I want to share with you a couple of my experiences with crystals. When I first started my spiritual learning I attended a class about crystals. The session leader was informative and provided a very comfortable environment but this was my first adventure into crystals and I still wasn’t sure what I believed. During a break several woman were looking at a crystal and making comments about how strong its energy was. I was offered a turn to feel it for myself.

Surrender


When you look at surrender in earthly terms it doesn’t sound like something that you would want to do. So, it is important to begin to break away from your conscious thoughts on surrendering and instead move towards the spiritual definition of surrender.

Creating an Altar


When we create an altar in our home or our garden we take the time to honor our intention to grow spiritually. An altar can be located anywhere in your home; it can be large or small, simple or elaborate. It is best if you place it in a quiet area where it won’t be disturbed. Well-intentioned friends may be attracted to the objects you have placed on your altar and automatically pick something up to admire.

Meanings of Our Dreams


I think most people are inquisitive about the meanings of our dreams. There are many books with dream symbol definitions and they each have their own ideas about the meanings with a few exceptions.

The Basics of Chakras


Your physical and spiritual bodies should be in balance so that you will have an optimal learning experience while on Earth. Balance in this connotation is not staying upright and being able to walk a straight line, but rather keeping your chakras open to receive the universal life force. Understanding and using the light that surrounds you is a key to providing energy balance throughout your body.

The Energies of Locations


Cities contain energy from the earth, buildings, past events that have transpired within them and the people who live there. The energy of where we live affects us. We may find ourselves living in an area that brings us joy every day, or we may feel continuously unhappy or disconnected from the world around us. We don’t very often look to the energy of where we live as having an influence on our energy levels and feelings.

We live in our mind with all its limitations, ideas and thoughts and most of us feel very comfortable there. Some of us live with a brief glimpse of our spirit, but many of us never see it at all. Knowing our spirit and blending it with our mind opens many possibilities in life.

If you have had a chance to read my book, Spiritual Novice: Begin the Journey, you know that when I first started to look within and find my spirit it was quite by accident. During my first months, trying to figure out what to do and how to do it, I attended some classes offered through a local “metaphysical store.” If you are just starting out, I think you might relate to my experience below.

Using your Imagination


Today is just another day, but could it be more? What if you decided that today was going to be a special day? What would you do? The possibilities are endless. Your only limitation is your imagination. Is your imagination free or do you keep it chained to an earthly reality? What if you let your imagination soar to new and different places?

Starting a Spiritual Journey


When starting a spiritual journey it is normal to have many questions and too little information. The best source of information that you will ever find lies within your heart. Deep introspection is the best way to find your inner self and the answer to any question you can think of. Meditation is the door to within.
