THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - MORE GRATITUDE

FEEL GRATEFUL NOT ONLY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, BUT FOR THE FUTURE YOU ARE CREATING AND THE BLESSINGS ON THEIR WAY

Aine Belton

LOVE - WHY WAIT?

I have recently discovered my dear friend's sister is hospital after a long term illness and it has started me thinking about my own family and friends. How quickly our lives fly by. We get so caught up in our daily routines and unimportant trivia that we perhaps don't say all the things we truly want to, to our loved ones. I have like most people I guess, had a tendency to believe they will be around forever.

Of course they know I love them so, why do I need to say so? 

Sometimes we are a little shy or awkward about expressing our love for another and perhaps fear rejection or misinterpretation.

When we lose someone precious to us we can be left with a feeling of regret that we didn’t tell them exactly how much they meant to us and how much we loved them or didn’t make the most of the opportunities we had to show them how much we cared. Sometimes we do not get the chance to say goodbye and to hold that person within our true love…

One of the lessons I have learned is that love is not always a two-way street. It has taken me a long time to realise that we cannot expect someone to love us just because we love them. That goes for our families as well. Just because they are your family doesn’t give you a  FREE- PASS to love, from them!

However, the real revelation for me is that they don’t NEED to LOVE ME,  for me to LOVE THEM!

Every cell in our bodies is fuelled by and filled with love. It is only our learned fears, taboos, beliefs etc. that can hold us back.

We are here to share our love for others – we are all connected. So please don’t feel shy, scared or embarrassed these feeling are born of false conditioning.

Be your TRUE SELF -  a child full of LOVE – NEVER MISS THE CHANCE TO SHARE IT.

WHAT IS THE AURA? (Part 1)

 The aura is an atmosphere of multi-coloured light called "aureola". The human aura is a multi-layered energy field that is primarily generated by the spiritual chakra energy centres. What has been the perceived halo effect around the head is called the "numbus", also a small part of the aura and is made up by electromagnetic energies that are generated by atoms within matter, that give off a small energy field. The aura reflects moods, personality and traits, emotions, general well-being, spiritual abilities and evolution and is made up of several layers or bodies reflecting and relating to different chakra and aspects of our Spiritual and Template Aura.

The colours can vary and do not always match that of the associated chakra. This is due to a blending that takes place of one or more of the main seven chakra along with a multitude of secondary and subsidiary chakra's which may be involved in the makeup of each of the main seven bodies of the aura. Although the aura is thought to possibly extend up to 40 inches off the body in places it is very unlikely that many psychics would be able to see it. That is not to say at times it cannot be seen or sensed by other means, just that in most cases the aura is only normally seen 2 to 4 inches off the top of the head, where it is usually most prominently  seen or perceived. For those who can psychically view the aura, it can be seen to visibly brighten and change when for instance if we are addressing others, or in some way pulling on the resources of our spirit such as in spiritual healing or meditation or in other activities, as well as in normal daily events of our life. So for instance if you kiss someone your aura might go from the normal colour into bright red.

What are Chakras?

Throughout our body we have main energy centres, which are connected to major organs or glands that govern other body parts. Each of these main energy centres are referred to as chakra.  A chakra is a wheel-like spinning vortex that whirls in a circular motion forming a vacuum in the centre that draws in anything it encounters on its particular vibratory level. These “spinning wheels” draw-in coded information from our surroundings. This can be anything from a colour vibration, to an ultra-violet ray, to a radio or micro wave or to another person’s aura. In essence our chakras receive the health of our environment, including the people we are in contact with (that’s why other people’s moods have an affect on us!). Our own chakras also radiate energy of vibration.  We have seven main chakra centres and that each main centre is connected to our being on several different levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. On the physical level each chakra governs a main organ or gland, which is then connected to other body parts that resonate at the same frequency.  Every organ, gland and body system is connected to a chakra and each chakra is connected to a colour vibration frequency. For example, the heart chakra governs the thymus gland and it is also in charge of the functioning of the heart organ, lungs, bronchial system, lymph glands, secondary circulatory system, immune system as well as the arms and hands. The heart chakra resonates to the colour green. The seven main chakra centres are aligned along the spinal column. If there are disturbances on any level, this shows in the chakra’s vitality level. Also each of the seven main chakras is their own intelligence centre. This means that each chakra is not only associated with our physical health but also controls aspects connected to our emotional, mental and belief system. To help balance a chakra–whether on an emotional, intellectual, physical or spiritual level–we can bring in the chakra (colour) vibration, which resonates at the same frequency. In the study of the anatomy of the aura it is important to understand the significance of the chakra system and the language of colours expressed in the aura. The names of the seven main chakras and the master organ that each one governs is as follows:

When a chakra is out of balance, congested or blocked it may eventually affect its neighbouring chakra. If this happens it is usually felt on a mental, emotional or physical level.  What is Energy & Why does It Affect Our Chakras?   Sunlight is our main source and provider of light, heat and energy. Not only does sunlight sustain all life on Earth, but also it sustains the Earth itself. It provides plants with the energy for photosynthesis, which in turn sustains the lives of all animals and humans. Sunlight consists of energies in the form of the electromagnetic waves and part of this electromagnetic energy includes cosmic rays, gamma rays, x-rays, visible light rays, infrared rays, micro waves and short and long waves (radio waves). We utilize many of these energies in our daily lives. By holding a prism towards the sun, we can break down the visible spectrum of light rays into seven different beams of colour. Light consists of the seven colour energies: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. We can see these seven colours in a rainbow, drop of rain or dew and even in a snowflake. Colour and light are inseparable. Each colour of the visible light rays has a different wavelength and vibrational frequency, which affects us differently. Red has the longest wavelength and the slowest vibrational frequency, which we innately recognize as warm and stimulating. Whereas, violet has the shortest wavelength and the fastest frequency that we recognize as a cool and calming energy. We receive light and colour information through our eyes, which then stimulates the retina and its cells, rods and cones. These impulses, which travel through the optic nerve to the visual cortex of the brain via the pituitary, trigger other glands and their hormone secretion to various parts of the body. Many body functions are stimulated or retarded by light and the different colours of light and thus affects our chakra system. Since light and its colours physically affect glands and hormones, they will also have a marked influence on our moods and feelings. Science has proven that certain colours can calm the mind while others stimulate mental activity. We need light energy for nourishing our brain, our emotions and our physical body as well as our light bodies and especially our chakras. Light can also enter through our skin and our breath. As well, we can receive additional colour energy through a balance of various coloured foods, herbs, vitamins, aromatherapy, sound, minerals, clothing, decor etc. Importance of Our Chakra System In reality little is known and understood about the human psyche and its intricate systems. However, medical science has proven that toxins and other impurities, which include negative thoughts, chemical enhancements in our food and other poor environmental factors, influence our body. Constant forms of “pollution” can cause chakra imbalances to manifest, which may eventually affect us on a physical level. Since traditional health care systems at this time are unable to naturally or totally alleviate symptoms or cure our problems, this means it is up to each individual to improve their health conditions. We also have to consider that we may be our own best doctor. So understanding the chakra system is more about how you can help improve your own state of health and all levels of your being.   The benefit of learning about our own chakra system is for us to understand (whole = body, mind and spirit in harmony) that when all parts of us (all of our seven chakra centres) are communicating equally and working in alliance with each other, we have little or no energy disorders. For example, if the mental part of us is powerful and if our physical, emotional and spiritual parts are equally strong, it is then that we feel at our optimum level. We live in a fast world and often forget about our “whole.” We put too much emphasis on independence and very little on interdependence. Our chakras are interdependent on each other for harmony and balance. It is important for us to know about our complete chakra system so we can take control of our lives and become the best we possibly can be in this lifetime. No one else is totally responsible for you... except you! Your mind alone cannot nurture your whole being, nor can a proper food diet solve all your problems. It is important to understand that “all of you” must be understood in order to keep “your house” in order. If there is a disturbance on any level, this shows in a chakra’s vitality level. And each of the seven main chakras has its own innate intelligence and function. Similar to how our body functions automatically, our chakra centres also operate automatically. If we are to understand your chakra system then we must learn what each chakra’s function is and how it represents a part of our “whole.”

THE KEY TO HAPPINESS

1. BE YOURSELF - Love and value yourself. Respect yourself. Be constant and honest with yourself.

2. DO EVERYTHING WITH LOVE - not obligation, guilt,     necessity or egotism. If you act with love you will not make mistakes.

3. LET NOTHING STOP YOU - There are no excuses. Stay committed.

ANTICIPATE THE DIFFICULT BY MANAGING THE EASY

Healing Meditation: Bubble of Protection

Hands held upward

Bring the light down from the Soul Star through the Hara Line to the Nuclear Star with each inhale.

Breath out and expand the light from the Nuclear Star outside the physical body by about (1/2 metre) forming a Bubble of protective light around you, continue repeating.

The general tendancy is to make the light transparant, but make the light white and thick like double cream so there is no doubt that you are well protected.

STRESS and REIKI

Whilst not all stress is harmful, prolonged stress can have a devastating effect on the body. Research suggests many illnesses may be directly or indirectly influenced by prolonged stress.
When we become stressed an alarm within the brain is activated which sends a message to the body. The nervous system is alerted and hormones are released to sharpen our senses, deepen respiration, quicken our pulse and tense our muscles. This is often referred to as the 'Fight or Flight' response. 
When stressful situations go unresolved the body can remain in a state of constant alert which increases the wear and tear on our biological systems and can result not only in fatigue but damage.
Sometimes people experience stress and/or depression. Stress can be internal or external. Internal stress comes from psychological issues where you may 'worry yourself sick' for example. External stress can come from your environment or relationships. Depression may be triggered by major life changes like a death, birth, job loss, divorce etc.
Stress has been linked to the six leading causes of death: Cancer, Heart Disease, Lung Problems,  Cirrhosis of the Liver, Accidents and  Suicide. During a 20 year study, conducted by the University of London, it was concluded that unmanaged reactions to stress are a more dangerous risk factor for Cancer and Heart Disease than either cigarette smoking or high cholesterol.
Most problems start in the mind and then later show up in the body. Each illness has a specific message for us and we must learn to recognise and listen to that message. Chronic sleep deprivation can result in our bodies storing more fat, slower metabolism and increased appetite and so the circle begins...
The primary aim of Reiki is to help restore the body's energy balance and aid natural self healing. Reiki is effective in calming the body and relieving stressful symptoms.
Reiki can be used as a preventive measure for stress by rebalancing and helping us to find a centre of peace within, significantly reducing symptoms.
Reiki helps strengthen and sustain the body's Immune System by assisting energy within us to reach all parts of the body. When we are out of tune, our bodies respond by creating a symptom or an illness. However, when it is in balance, the body can better defend itself against the effects of environmental pollution, contagious diseases and the debilitating effects of prolonged stress.
Whilst Reiki is not intended to be a replacement for any treatment prescribed by a Doctor, Reiki supports treatments and is a doorway to clarity and wholeness, an invitation to wellness.
