How to grow spiritually?

There are 5 principle ways to evolve spiritually, and they are all equally as important as each other. Each person will have natural preferences to one or two, but all of them contribute to our spiritual journey towards happiness and peace.

The first way to grow is through the heart. The heart is the control centre of our emotions and spiritual growth happens when we learn to forgive, love, and truly accept ourselves and those around us. The greatest teacher for all these lessons is relationships, both romantic and family relationships. These are the people that we let close, and they push our buttons, and in doing so, give us the gift of seeing where we are most intolerant, selfish, and angry for example.
The longest journey is the 7” journey from the head to the heart. We live almost entirely in the head in the west, and I have watched many people struggle with the concept of living from the heart- myself included. As you get to know and accept yourself and continue to work on your issues, you begin to be able to accept yourself and thus begins the journey into the heart. All the parts of you that you reject are the parts that keep you from living in the heart.

The second way to grow is through prayer and devotion. Religion is the traditional way to practice devotion. Service is commonly encouraged in many of the worlds’ religions. Thinking about how you can be of service in the world is a very effective antidote to self, as not only are you rendering service to another, it usually boosts your self- esteem at the same time.
There has been a shift away from religion in some parts of secular society, and a growing number of people have found meditation and other spiritual practices to replace the church. I think that tuning into something greater than yourself (universal consciousness, for example) as a daily practice, will allow you to connect with the deepest parts of your being. This ritual can really enable you to open your heart and mind and can contribute to your spiritual evolution.

The third way to grow is through the body. “My body is a temple” is a common phrase, but in actual fact, the body is the way that we experience this spiritual lifetime. I am a spiritual being in a human body. Healthy food and good exercise like Yoga and Chi Gung, and other eastern practices will strengthen your body and keep you from illness.
Other activities make this experience of the body more enjoyable- hygiene, dancing, sport, intimacy, hiking, and so on. For some people, living in the body is too painful, so they escape with spiritual or religious addiction, or any other methods of denying their body. This could involve over- eating, alcohol, anorexia, living in the head, (over-analysing, catastrophising, depression or anger are a few examples) or body hatred. For these people, becoming grounded and learning to live in and through the body is the spiritual growth that will enable them to start on a different path.

The fourth way to grow is through the mind. This is all about understanding with the mind and expanding the mind to encompass vast concepts like “Who am I?”, “What is Truth?”, “What is Death?”
Studying different philosophies and pondering the big questions in life, and finding new ways to look at yourself and the world are great ways to find out who you are and what you hold true. Meditating and going within is also a good way to find yourself – it is amazing how much you can learn about yourself in a moment of silence. Meditation is a spiritual practice that can take some time to master but it does become easier as you learn to switch off the busy mind, and the benefits to your health and well-being can be incredible.

The fifth way to grow is the way of creativity. This section offers the most excitement on a spiritual journey- chanting, drumming, singing, ritual, ceremony, artwork, and many different forms of creating. This is probably the one that attracts most people at the beginning of their journey. Here is where you can try lots of different activities, and meet lots of people who are also searching for some answers. Many people stay here and are drawn to the excitement. However, some people experience this stage as a solitary time, and draw and sing on their own.

For some, this is a very personal stage that they do not choose to live out in front of others as they find their expression through whatever medium suits them. Whichever way you choose to grow, be aware of the other forms that are also a necessary part of the journey. Becoming spiritual is a profound lifestyle choice and each journey will be different to anyone else’s.
Spiritual Growth is an extremely personal journey, and one that needs time, and patience, courage and honesty.

Astrology Zodiac Elements

The twelve astrology signs are grouped into four essential elements to which life would not be possible without. They are air, fire, water and earth. Each of these four elements has characteristics independent to each that the twelve astrology signs are based upon. The symbolism is so exact that the element that your astrology sign lies under greatly influences your personality traits and your characteristics. All of the elements must work in sync with each other so that one does not get out of control, they have to co-exist peacefully in order to sustain a balance in life. That is what astrology signs are about, balancing yourself and others in the game of life.

Fire Signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Fire can do good, like cooking food to eat and keeping us warm or it can do great harm, like burning a house down. Fire is a combustible, unpredictable element, a chemical reaction that can go off easily and quickly go from a small flame to a raging fire. Fire astrology signs can ignite easily too, they are very temperamental however if managed properly, they can be very beneficial. In fact, fire signs must be managed and under control in order to be of benefit. Fire signs can be emotionally volatile yet they are very passionate. Fire can change it’s course at an instant, those born under fire astrology signs are very dynamic and like the fire spreading, are the first to set out into the unknown and take initiative with adventurous enthusiasm. Fire is not a physical thing, it is quite mystical and fire astrology sign people apprehend the world through their intuition, they trust their gut instinct (or they should anyway) because it rarely ever leads them wrong. Fire people have a strong sense of self just like fire which has no regard over anything in it’s path, fire people are quite self centered but they are moving so fast that they never get stuck on themselves, the fire needs to spread and explore. Fire people are impulsive and just like fire spreading, often leap before they look.

~Aries~ March 21 – April 20

Aries is the first fire sign which means that it’s dynamic and temperamental qualities are heightened. Aries astrology represents fire in it’s most pure form, being the most active, interested in everything and adventurous, like a small fire that has just been ignited in a fireplace full of kindling. This is where and how Aries childlike qualities and raw enthusiasm originate.

~Leo~ July 23 -August 21

Leo is the middle fire sign, Leo always has to be in the middle, like the sun which happens to be Leo’s astrology symbol. Leo loves to be the center of attention and this is where they perform and feel the best. Like the sun, Leo is stable and radiant and helps to keep others under control. Leo is steady, dependable, grand and makes it’s presence known.

~Sagittarius~ November 23 – December 22

As the final fire astrology sign, Sagittarius leans toward the philosophical, the bottom part of the fire that is mystical and out of reach. Sagittarius is idealistic and creative, the fire energy of Sagittarius astrology is geared towards higher ideals and philosophical, wandering pursuits. Sagittarius is the most gentle of the three fire astrology signs, symbolic of fire slowly going out as it nears it’s end.

Water Signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Water can be refreshing, like a cool stream or it can be dark and mysterious like the depths of the ocean. Water that is contained is easy to deal with, like swimming pool, water that is un-contained and out of control can do great damage, like a flood. Water signs represent the intuition and emotional aspects because it flows and it’s liquid or it could be solid like ice, it can evaporate into air and turn into clouds. Water is complex and a paradox it is everywhere and can be almost anything. Water signs are the most emotional of all signs, they flow down deep and search out crevasses and cracks to explore, symbolic of the unknown emotions of the human psyche. Not only is water is essential to life and covers the whole globe, but water makes up the largest percentage of all living things. Since water is found in everything everywhere, water sign people have a knack for dealing with others, they can see into other people, they understand the motives and needs of other people and to sum it all up, they are borderline psychic and the most in-tune with others. This makes them empathetic, caring and helpful but they are over sensitive and can be easily hurt by others who do not acknowledge the sacrifices that have been made and how deeply involved they really are.

~Cancer ~June 22 – July 22

Cancer sign is the first water sign and represents water in it’s most basic form. Cancer is genuine, concerned with others, nurturing and the most helpful. When unleashed however, like a river that spills it’s banks, Cancer can be very aggressive when the need to defend themselves or someone they love.

~Scorpio~ October 24 – November 22

Scorpio represents the power that water potentially has. If not properly contained, it can continuously wreak havoc on everything in it’s path. Scorpio is full of energy and intensity and is similar to a raging river. Scorpio needs control and has to be under self control, all the energy has to be harnessed to be effective, like putting a hydroelectric dam on the raging river. It provides power and light to cities and protects farmers fields from flooding.

~Pisces~ February 20- March 20

The final water sign is represented by the small creek, by piling up a handful of dirt, you can make it flow another direction, when it rains, it can flow north when it normally flows south because it is overtaken by the rainwater. Pisces is overly flexible and too adaptable. Pisces is very charming, inspirational and mystical, also like the beautiful creek that which artists paint pictures. It is calming and the sound can put you to sleep and mystify you. Pisces is the most spiritual of all the zodiac signs.

Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Earth is real, you can see it, hold it, smell it. Suitably so, earth signs are very “down to earth” and real. Earth is the foundation on which everything is built. Earth people are solid and stable and composed of many different parts, they are multi faceted people, like the many mineral compounds that make the earth. There is nothing wishy-washy about these people, they do not have their head in the clouds, They are dependable, you know they will always be there and they are stable. Most of the time anyway, more stable then the other elements. Earth does not change. It stays there and allows whatever is growing to continue to grow and progress. Earth people are not fond of change, they like stability and regular life that can grow upon and develop. Why start something new if what is already there is fine? Earth people are the most materialistic and possessive of all astrology zodiac elements. Earth people are also concerned with what’s on the surface and never really dig deep to get to the bottom of it, they are happy with what’s on the surface.

~Taurus~ April 21 – May 21

The first earth sign, Taurus is the most stable and the strongest. Taurus are known for their stubborn nature and their unwillingness to change. Taurus is earthly sensual and wants harmony and happiness, creating it by their surroundings, holding tight to the people and the things in their life. They have a solid foundation and help other to build theirs too, they are dependable, nurturing and wise.

~Virgo~ August 22 – September 23

The middle sign is represented by the middle of earth, not quite on the surface and not quite deep down either. Stuck in the middle and indecisive. Virgo lives in their own world on a earthly-mental plane. They observe and think with quick analytical precision, and are flexible, helpful and stable. Virgo is the least physical of the earth signs.

~Capricorn ~December 23 – January 20

Represented by the lower earth, Capricorn is the earth in it’s most basic and purest form. Just like the pure earth is made up of various elements, Capricorn has many sides and takes interest in everything from materialistic possessions to solid to being a powerful status symbol. Sort of like the depths of the earth, Capricorn is mysterious and deep. They can be dark, not in a malicious sense, but in a depressed sort of way since they are very conservative and have a difficult time with pleasure since they are so concerned and involved in their work and the more serious aspects of life.

Air Signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air is the element that you cannot touch or see, but it can be mysteriously contained, like blowing up a balloon. When it is contained in this way, it somehow escapes or gets stale. Air people are free and cannot be contained or this same thing will happen to them. Air is uncertain and unpredictable, it can spawn a horrendous thunderstorm with violent winds and the pressure drops and raises by the minute. Air sign people are elusive in this way, they are unpredictable and eccentric. Air is the most necessary element, being necessary to fire, earth and water. Air people live in their mind. They are caught up in their thoughts which take them high to new levels where no other element can reach, like the upper atmosphere. Here they can formulate theories, solve problems clearly and see the world below. Air people are said to be out of touch with reality, but they are also very advanced in thinking. They are very mental oriented people having a knack for intelligence but also lacking emotional depth.

~Gemini~May 22 – June 21

The first air sign, Gemini is the most flighty, like the wind that forms a dust devil, picking up debris, swirling with it and then letting it go, exploring off to another region. When forced to slow down, it cannot for long and does not know what to do, marked by the known Gemini trait of indecisiveness. Gemini never feels complete and the Gemini, the sign of duality is always on the search for something, trying to find that one person or thing that will complete them. Gemini is the sign of communication, they want to know everybody and everything, like the wind that flows forever along the land, surrounding every nook possible on the way.

~Libra~ September 24 – October 23

Libra is represented by air, not moving but the air that circulates slowly that we need to breathe. Bringing harmony, life and balance to the world. Libra wants to be peaceful and essential to the lives of everyone they touch, just like air. Libra wants to form relationships of balance, I give you air, you give me life. This is how important relationships are top the Libra sign.

~Aquarius~ January 21 – February 19

Aquarius is the last and the highest air element. Aquarius is the powerful force that makes the world go around, like the jet stream. It has the power to change areas and it does, Aquarius is the sign of change and originality. Aquarius seeks understanding and knocking down of barriers, like the jet stream that circulates air from one corner of the world to the other essentially uniting everyone and everything. Aquarius is very unpredictable and erratic, seeking the truth from way up above the rest of the world, Aquarius is the most advanced thinker of the zodiac, like the jet stream is the highest above. Aquarius is concerned with advancing civilization and the future of mankind.

I found this and thought you would like it:

 

Chakras are Entry Gates of the Aura.

Within the physical body resides a body double, a spiritual body, that contains the Chakras.

The word Chakra in Sanscrit translates to wheel or disc.

They are centres of activity that receives, assimilates and expresses life force energy. They are responsible for the person’s physical, mental, and spiritual functions.

They absorb and transmit energies to and from the universe, nature, celestial entities, from people even from things.

According to the traditional writings there are 88,000 chakras in the human body covering basically every area in the body. The majority of them are small and insignificant. 40 of them have significant function and they are in the hands, feet, fingertips, and shoulders.

The most significant ones are the Seven Main Chakras located along the central line of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. They are located in the ethereal body and they express the embodiment of spiritual energy on the physical plane.

To see the picture of the Chakra System click here.

 

Watch this beautiful video presentation about the energy centers.

 

HOW CHAKRAS AFFECT US?The chakras are constantly rotating and vibrating.

The activities in the them influence our:

Body shape, Glandular processes, Chronic physical ailments, Thoughts, and Behaviour.

When one (or more) of the chakra is blocked and the energy does not flow harmoniously through them, or it is wide open, it will result in imbalance that is manifested in all areas of life.

Each chakra is expressed on the physical body in one of the endocrine glands that regulate physical and emotional processes in the body. The imbalance in the chakra will also be expressed in the endocrine gland linked to it.

 

HOW CAN WE ASSESS THE CHAKRASYou can do a chakra assessment:
a) Using your Hands
b) Using a Pendulum (Dowsing)

Place your pendulum over each chakra and ask your pendulum for its: direction, size and speed.

Construct your own or use a Chakra chart to determine on which chakra to work on, if it is balanced, under or over energized.

In the same manner you can determine if or what stones or colors may be needed. Go through each of the chakras and make sure that you construct your questions in a way that they can always be answered with a YES or NO.

It is not necessary to do the assessment over the clients body. It can be done over the palm as well. The first chakra can be assessed over the wrist, the second at the thumb, the third over the middle finger, the fourth over a small finger, the fifth over the index finger, the sixth over the ring finger and finally the seventh chakra over the palm.

 

HOW CAN WE HEAL THEM?

We can influence our chakras, our health, and our lives byusing different techniques such as:

• Healing, such as Reiki
• Color therapy
• Yoga,
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique),
• Conscious breathing,
• Physical exercises,
• Meditation,
• Guided visualisation,
• Positive thinking,
• Affirmations,
• Balancing: Using your Hands,a Pendulum,Crystals and Gemstones
• Aromatherapy

 

For other chakra balancing healing strategies click here.

 

There is also a new and exciting, breakthrough technique You can now use to attune, balance your Chakras so they work at their optimum to create a more Holistic Being. To find out moreclick here.

If we concentrate on balancing the chakras it will lead not only in balancing the chakras itself, but the physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances caused by their deficient functioning.

 

 

 

ABOUT THE SEVEN POWER CENTERS According to the Eastern understanding, the Universal Life Force flows through the top of the head and down the chakras, nurturing our bodies with seven distinct kinds of energy, each essential to our physical and spiritual development. And it flows upward through the chakras, communicating individual insight and a conscious sense of universal interconnectedness.Click here to see the picture of the Chakra System.

We can think of chakras as floppy discs that contain vital programs.

They contain programmed subroutines that shape our behaviour. We all function by sets of programs, which may or may not be conscious. In this analogy the body is the hardware, our programming is the software, and the Self is the user. We did not write all of these programs, and some of their language is very archaic. The challenge before us is to identify our programs and rewrite them all while continuing to live our lives, yet this is the task of healing.
To learn more about each individual chakra main characteristicsclick here

The chakra system can be used as a tool to fight viruses, debug and reprogram our lives. In order to run any of our programs we have to activate our energy currents, which is bipolar as mentioned above:

* Earth-centred which we contact through our bodies called grounding( comes from the solid contact we make with the earth through feet and legs), which provides connection that makes us feel safe, alive, centred in ourselves, and rooted in environment );

* and the pole of consciousness which is experienced through our minds, and this is our inner understanding, our memory, our dreams, and beliefs. We have a dynamic energy flow throughout our entire being when it is connected to our body.

We can plug in into this system just as we plug in our stereo. The chakras than become like stations, receiving and broadcasting at different frequencies.

The seven vortices of the chakras are created by the combination of these two active principles: consciousness and matter.

Consciousness enters through the crown chakra and flows downward through the body, than upward from earth to ethereal consciousness.

In order to be whole, a human being needs a balance between the downward flow and the upward flow of energy. Blockages in any of the chakras affects the flow of the currents.

 

What blocks a chakra?

Childhood traumas, cultural conditioning, limited belief system, bad habits, physical and emotional injuries. Or even just lack of attention all contribute to chakra blockage.

Difficulties abound in life, for each one, we develop a coping strategy. Ifthese difficulties persist, these coping strategies become chronic patterns, anchored in the body and psyche as defence structures.It is important to recognize the blocks we carry, find and understand their source and meaning, and develop tools to heal them.

To learn more about each individual chakra main characteristics, balances and imbalances, what makes them excessive and deficient, about healing strategies, affirmations and more click here.

The Balanced System

It is possible to be relatively balanced through the chakras without being an enlightened master. People who have done lot of their own healing work or were lucky in their upbringing may be relatively balanced.

What would this look like?

The person would be:

* well grounded and in touch with their body,

* in good health and vitality,

* aware of their feelings without being ruled by them,

* sexually content without being driven,

* with balanced third chakra they would have confidence and confidence without dominating others,

* the heart would be compassionate and loving, yet centred and peaceful,

* could communicate feelings or ideas with truth and clarity and be ableto listen to others,

* their upper chakra would bring imagination, wisdom and a personal connection with spirit.

This is an ideal we hope to strive. We all have the means to achieve it, only it takes time, patience and dedication.

The work depend entirely on the person’s structure and the practitioner’s style. The main thing to remember is that body, soul, mind and spirit together with the seven chakras, are one invisible whole.

Your birthday holds the key to the most signifant number in your life. To find it, you first need to write out your full date of birth in it’s numerical form’

For example: 30/07/1968

 

Add together the numbers in each section of your birth date:

3+0+0+7+1+9+6+8= 34

 

Add these two numbers together to reduce the number to a single numerl within the range one to nine:

3+4=7

 

The birth number for me is seven.

Key Words, which describe the numerical inf;unces::

1= Leadership, popularity, decisiveness, construction.

2=Diplomacy, tactfulness, secrets, unions & partnerships.

3=Caring, compassionate, tender, friends & celebration.

4=Dependable, ambitious, property, stability & security.

5=Keys, opportunities, religion, engineering & answers.

6=Relationships, choices, loving, loyal.

7=Wisdom, control, transport.

8=Stubborness, strength, persistance.

The New Moon represents a moment of renewal and beginning of a cycle.
For human beings, the New Moon is responsible for our emotions, for the woman’s reproductive cycles and childbirth.

In the universe, the New Moon can be felt in the tides, the growth of the plants, the time changes and in nature’s catastrophes, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods.
It is in the New Moon that we should begin new projects and activities, so that they are completed with success.

In this period of time, the New Moon makes a conjunction with the Sun, creating a tremendous force in the area that they converge. So, together with the Sun and the Moon’s energy, let’s make our wishes according to the zodiac sign that the New Moon will be into this period.

First you should write down the exact time when the Moon is in the same degree with the Sun. (see time table of the New Moon). Eight hours before, write in a piece of paper you wishes related to that sign. Example: New Moon in Virgin. Set in motion all subjects related with my work, health physical, spiritual and mental. If you want to get a new job, write what you would like to do or the name of the company you wish to work. If you have a health problem, specify the area that needs to heal.

3- At the center of the earth, visualize a large, beautiful, clear crystal ball. Around the ball see and feel other lightworkers here for the same purpose as you. Form a circle with these others. Call in all of the ascended masters, your own masters and guides and all others who intent is for the healing of the earth and its inhabitants. Stand together forming a sacred circle around the large crystal ball.

4- Extend your right hand – palm out toward the crystal ball and place your left hand on the shoulder next to you.

5- Ask the God of your understanding to use you as a channel for healing. Allowing you to transmit divine healing energy for the highest good of the earth and her inhabitants through your hands and into the crystal ball. Then see and feel with all of your senses the diving energy running through your body and out your hands.

6- Watch the crystal ball begin to glow as it receives this divine healing energy. It will turn a beautiful translucent pink as if fills with divine healing energy. As it becomes full and is charged with the healing energy, watch as the crystal begins to transmit the energy outward in all directions. The pink light extends out from the ball in all directions at the same time – moving through you as it goes out and fills the entire earth. Continuing out as it breaks through the top of the ground and moves up into the atmosphere, filling everything with divine healing as it goes. All matter and spirit that is within and on top of the earth is being filled with divine healing energy. Watch the energy as it continues to move outward filling everything and every space on out to the edges of the atmosphere.

7- Take a moment now and allow your entire self to feel this divine healing within your own body and soul.
8- Now bring your hands to the prayer position (palms together in front of your heart) and thank the God of your understanding for using you as a channel for healing. Thank those around you for their participation in this ceremony.

9- Now gently come back up the golden cord, back into your body. Bring your hands up over your face and open your eyes into your hands.
