<title>Trance Work</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/Trance-Work.337671</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Well I have my version of describing what it is for me, although there is a lot of information on the web regarding its true meaning, including that it is an altered state of consciousness which to some extent is true, although it could be described as a deep relaxing process where your mind is still.</p>
<p>I do not believe or disbelieve all the information I have researched or gathered over the years about trance and its many forms, I look at them all from an observational point of view, some information I may find more interesting than others but I believe that all information is neither correct or incorrect it just is.&amp;nbsp; Who is anyone to judge such information!</p>
<p>So when I began working with energy, which has over the years been through many forms, some of which I shall explain here today for you, it was a very alien experience and not one that I felt totally comfortable with at first.</p>
<p>As I began trusting the energies which at first I used in the form of a &amp;ldquo;healing&amp;rdquo; modality through which I became the facilitator not the healer, the energies with which I was working grew and expanded beyond anything I could have ever imagined would take place.</p>
<p>Over a period of 5 years I was able to relax into the energies which allowed then the vibration to heighten and offered a gateway for spirit energies to work through me, it all became natural and flowed through me so gently but amazingly powerful, the recipients of this energy would benefit in ways again which I would never have believed unless I had seen it for myself or heard the feedback.</p>
<p>So where I am now with these energies is somewhere that I could never have imagined the energies would have taken me over the years which I have been of service.</p>
<p>I have used the energies over the years mainly as I said in a &amp;ldquo;healing&amp;rdquo; format although recently they are on the &amp;ldquo;increase&amp;rdquo; again and are shifting, although at the moment I am unclear of how these energies will be fully utilised I am sure they are going to be profound.</p>
<p>So for the healing use, there are two energies which I channel through me, and they are magnetic energies which come up through my feet and into the recipient, and the other are God&amp;rsquo;s energies which come through my crown chakra.&amp;nbsp; I am able to sit in a fairly mild to medium trance state for about 1.5 hours at a time.</p>
<p>When I work with the magnetic energies, it is hard work for me or at least can be if I do not relax enough, the energy makes your body feel like lead and if there is anything heavier than that is what it feels like.&amp;nbsp; Again if I am not 100% relaxed it can become quiet painful as I channel the energy through my human system and into the recipient who only feels 500% completely relaxed on every level.</p>
<p>Magnetic energy is a very strong energy to work with but does bring with it some amazing results in terms of healing.</p>
<p>The other energy is a lot softer to channel although the &amp;ldquo;power&amp;rdquo; of healing is not any less in terms of outcome, there is completely different feeling and sensation when working with this energy, it tends to be tingly or buzzing as it flows through me, and it can range from boiling hot to freezing cold depending on where the energies are coming from.</p>
<p>I have been known to work with energies outside of our universe as people have reported seeing a shift in my appearances.</p>
<p>Most of the time, I am able to have an overshadowing take place with either of the energies with which I work.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>I have been working for about 5 years now on blending those two energies together which I am told would allow phenomena to take place, although I am not fully awakened to the use of these energies, I know that I am being prepared for that.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>I would love to be of service for evidential purposes in the field of phenomena.&amp;nbsp; I have also had the opportunity to use these energies in the use of trance speaking.</p>
<p>This is the ability to allow the spirit to use your voice box to communicate through.&amp;nbsp; Again this is something which appeared to come natural to me.</p>
<p>That work was undertake and experimented with at The Arthur Findlay College at Stansted.&amp;nbsp; They have an amazing place where training takes place in the UK and the teachers are profound.&amp;nbsp; Definitely worth a visit or two if you are training in the varying areas of energy.</p>
<p>So what next, well I know that I am currently having a huge shift in energies and have recently be overshadowed by another life source which was interesting especially for those watching as my cheeks began to change shape and turned a beautiful amber colour.&amp;nbsp; The only thing when doing any form of trance work is that I never get to see or hear what is going on.&amp;nbsp; Shame really.</p>
<p>There is so much more which I could write about especially on the frequency and vibration of the energy which is required to perform trance.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>Trance should never be done on your own especially if you are sitting for spirit in full state trance, and this could be dangerous or so it is said.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>I also know that it is said to be illegal for anyone to perform trance on stage or in public demonstrations, it is also difficult to get insurance to do trance work.&amp;nbsp; So being experiential in this area of work appears to be the best way to bring the evidence through.</p>
<p>So good luck with all that you may do, if you have any questions please get in touch I would love to hear about your experiences or answer your questions if I am able to.</p>
<p>Angel Blessings forever and always</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FTrance-Work.337671"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FTrance-Work.337671" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Tarot is My Spirit Guide</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/Tarot-is-my-Spirit-Guide.254769</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>When I was eight, Edith used to come to me in the middle hours of darkness, sit on the edge of my bed and appear in front of me.&amp;nbsp; My mum used to hear me talk to her and I was never scared, but always inquisitive. &amp;nbsp;I decided to tell my parents in the morning.&amp;nbsp; The look of surprise on their faces with worry about why I may be &amp;lsquo;concocting&amp;rsquo; these dreams and illusions was a real picture I won&amp;rsquo;t forget!&amp;nbsp; The old lady used to appear regularly to me and more than ever every time my dad went away to visit family in Holland.&amp;nbsp; She was always by my side and although I used to speak to her often, she never spoke back until one night when I began to see her more clearly.&amp;nbsp; What she said didn&amp;rsquo;t make any sense but it felt comforting and made me fall asleep as normal.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>Today I wonder if she was speaking another language for a few foreign families had resided in the area of Deal in Kent many years ago. &amp;nbsp;After a while, I would begin to hear her walk across the hallway. At the time I had no door handle, only a round hole where it should be.&amp;nbsp; The light from the other side would vanish and I would know she was here to visit once more.&amp;nbsp; The creaky floorboards were often mistaken to be one of the three cats or two dogs we had and I never thought it would be anything else.&amp;nbsp; Slowly the door would open and Edith would suddenly be next to me again.&amp;nbsp; She was a comfort to me when my dad was absent and my mum was serving customers downstairs in the family run restaurant.&amp;nbsp; I often wonder who the old lady was and when a local baker visited (very much in tune with the spirit world and unaware of Edith) he went white when entering the building and proclaimed it was &amp;lsquo;full of evil&amp;rsquo;.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>I believe today she may possibly have been a nanny in the past and someone whose life was devoted to caring for the family she lived with.&amp;nbsp; In a building that was once a public house in a smugglers town, there could have been an endless amount of danger for a child my age over 350 years ago.&amp;nbsp; For many years I believed and felt Edith was an imaginary nanny to me whom only my eyes could see.&amp;nbsp; My parents told me there was no one there and eventually as I grew older, I began to believe what they said was true.</p>
<p>It was during a regular afternoon where my mum and dad had just walked the dogs along the seafront and I would soon be home from my day at school.&amp;nbsp; Out of the blue the family who used to live there came to visit.&amp;nbsp; They were Italians who ran an ice-cream factory for over twenty years before we made it into a restaurant.&amp;nbsp; Interested to see the property a year on and revisit the home they once had, they entered the &amp;lsquo;evil house&amp;rsquo;.&amp;nbsp; The upstairs promptly became the hot topic of conversation.&amp;nbsp; They began questioning my parents about a ghost they encountered whom they called Edith and if she had shown herself to us.&amp;nbsp; In disbelief and shock they all realised that I had been getting regular visits.&amp;nbsp; From what I had described the old lady as looking like, &amp;lsquo;with a long black cloak and no teeth&amp;rsquo;, the exact same words came from the Italian family&amp;rsquo;s mouths.&amp;nbsp; It all began to really fall into place for my parents when they started renovating the upstairs attic bathroom a couple of years on and found to their surprise an old oil painting of Jesus with a crown of thorns embedded in the wall. &amp;nbsp;The family had said the Priest had been in to exorcise the spirit of Edith away and the oil painting was where he had performed the ritual. &amp;nbsp;From the time they left and from that day on, none of the Italians story was ever mentioned to me. Edith became a memory and later on in my life I felt as though I had simply dreamt it all.&amp;nbsp; I was always a very superstitious child and as I remember for no apparent reason always walking around ladders!&amp;nbsp; My family were very much free spirits themselves and never acted as though they were worried about &amp;lsquo;the old lady&amp;rsquo; to protect me.&amp;nbsp; They shielded me from the experience in case I simply didn&amp;rsquo;t understand or it scared me as they had no explanation for why she visited.</p>
<p>Twenty years on in my life I found out the truth about what happened when the Italians had told my parents about Edith.&amp;nbsp; Only now can I begin to wonder what it would be like to go back and really take in the experiences I had with her.&amp;nbsp; For many years I dreamt about working as a medium and picking up on negative spirits.&amp;nbsp; Maybe Edith was there to protect me from the negativity that was somewhere in the house.&amp;nbsp; The Baker certainly picked up on it.&amp;nbsp; But now I know the connection to the spirit world was there and why I have felt drawn to using divination tools such as the Tarot to guide me in my future path.</p>
<p>In 1991 and at the age of eleven we packed up house, sold everything and went on a journey to Spain.&amp;nbsp; On the spur of the moment my parents, me and my brother were driving off into the moonlight to find pastures new.&amp;nbsp; They met in the sixties, my mum from London and my dad from Holland.&amp;nbsp; Now they were returning to where they had met and taking me and my brother with them.&amp;nbsp; Very much the adventurer myself I found the whole experience so exciting travelling through France to Spain over the Pyrenees driving literally on the edge of shocking, winding and sharp drops that made me cover my eyes most the way! &amp;nbsp;When we found somewhere, we opened another business and began a new life in the south of Spain.&amp;nbsp; Beginning a new school was the next step for me and seemed exciting and although I was nervous, I was longing to make new friends. &amp;nbsp;I remember walking down &amp;lsquo;La Carihuela&amp;rsquo;, a promenade on the seafront full of fish restaurants and Spanish ladies sweeping the front porches during the sunrise.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>I wondered what it would be like and began quickly learning the Spanish language so I could communicate with everyone.&amp;nbsp; When I arrived, although the school was beautiful, most of the pupils were anti me being foreign and I found going to school ending up in bullying and mental abuse.&amp;nbsp; These racial attacks never got any better and day in and out I would begin to hate it there.&amp;nbsp; The Spanish children would shout and push me to the point where I felt so alone and unable to even tell anyone about it.&amp;nbsp; I understood the difficulty my parents were in at the time adjusting to a new country with children and so simply did not mention this terrible period to them.&amp;nbsp; During this turbulent time however, I found Karma with a friend of mine who came to visit.&amp;nbsp; Together we dabbled with Ouija boards not really knowing how or what we were dealing with.&amp;nbsp; Many a time we were spooked by what happened but more importantly it reminded me of when I used to read Tarot.&amp;nbsp; Although sadly I no longer had my Tarot cards, I felt so drawn to them and wanted to return somehow to their guidance.&amp;nbsp; I can see that now, and can relate so much to my time in Spain without them.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>On return to England in 1994 and moving a few doors down from where Edith resided I immediately went to buy a Tarot Deck.&amp;nbsp; Many evenings were spent giving readings to friends and writing such spreads down as the Calendar spread to be really cryptic of myself in the future. &amp;nbsp;I was my own worst enemy in terms of finding the truth in life and so critical of myself!&amp;nbsp; It was during the daytime of Christmas Eve, which was also my sixteenth birthday, I remember it began to snow and I decided to produce a spread on love for myself.&amp;nbsp; When will I encounter marriage and who with?&amp;nbsp; The cards revealed to me that I would become engaged by the end of next summer.&amp;nbsp; I was uninterested because of the &amp;lsquo;long time frame&amp;rsquo; it seems at that age, so I folded it up and forgot about it.&amp;nbsp; Six years on I found this piece of paper when renovating the house, which we ran for eleven years as a pub.&amp;nbsp; The reading was so accurate and to the day!&amp;nbsp; I could not believe it! &amp;nbsp;I had become engaged on holiday exactly as it predicted.&amp;nbsp; A card of experience and youth showed me also how adolescence and naivety in love saw the demise of this relationship.&amp;nbsp; Feeling quite taken aback I thought it was time to really begin using the cards again in my life.&amp;nbsp; Living in another 350 year old property really did give me a strong connection and feeling of not being alone when performing my readings.&amp;nbsp; Many a time I would wake up in the night and find a candle was lit and burning brighter than any candle I had ever seen before.&amp;nbsp; Obviously I was quite shocked and scared at this happening more and more often because never did I light a candle in my room for fear of fire. &amp;nbsp;Confused and unable to explain it all, again, the cards were put away and locked in my mum&amp;rsquo;s wardrobe for another few years.&amp;nbsp; Even she began to fear them and became spooked by their accuracy.&amp;nbsp; When I look back now I realise it was simply a message and way of communicating.&amp;nbsp; I was not yet ready to connect and did not have the strength to take on this experience.&amp;nbsp; Life took over from here on and time simply ticked by as usual again until my next experience.</p>
<p>By the time I was at University and having recovered from a year off with glandular fever, I really began to feel the pressure of my studies.&amp;nbsp; I spent eight years after school continuing to study because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life still.&amp;nbsp; This really began to get me down but life carried on and thus so did I.&amp;nbsp; Life in the pub trade with just me and my parents working also became more difficult because of a severe illness that nearly overtook my mum.&amp;nbsp; With just me and my dad working busy weekends it really did get frantic at times.&amp;nbsp; During this time my Nan also died and things were really on top of me and my family. I began to wonder if I could finish university and what on earth was I supposed to do with my life after it all.&amp;nbsp; This all changed during my exams when I had another spiritual encounter and now I know for everyone, everything happens for a reason.&amp;nbsp; It is frustrating that you cannot explain why but later everything truly falls into place.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s magical.</p>
<p>It was my Nan who came to me as clear as day a year after she passed.&amp;nbsp; It was the end of my Degree and on this day I was in an exam for Native American studies.&amp;nbsp; I had revised well but I always performed terribly in exams for fear of forgetting.&amp;nbsp; Having a terrible moment of writers block whilst in the exam I began to close my eyes and all of a sudden I felt her hand on my shoulder.&amp;nbsp; I knew it was her because I could smell her perfume that immediately reminds me of my Nan still today.&amp;nbsp; Straight away I knew she was with me and her words of wisdom were whispered in my ear saying that everything would be alright.&amp;nbsp; I was certain she was beside me and was so taken aback by the experience I could hardly believe no one else saw her.&amp;nbsp; The room was so quiet that you would hear a pin drop but no one even flinched.&amp;nbsp; I believe she was there to guide me and that night I dreamt about her and the words she whispered into my ear.&amp;nbsp; I woke up and burst into tears at the notion of it all and because it was all so vivid and real.&amp;nbsp; It was such a comfort to know she was with me and by Graduation day I felt proud I had got through it all with her help.&amp;nbsp; I believe we shouldn&amp;rsquo;t take for granted these experiences and must always trust our intuition.&amp;nbsp; It is within us for a reason and we must never shut it off.&amp;nbsp; If something has happened to you then take notice!&amp;nbsp; My dad later told me that in fact I was the third generation psychic and Empath on his side of the Dutch family.&amp;nbsp; It was all beginning to fall into place for I now knew my dad&amp;rsquo;s grandmother was renowned for seeing and connecting with not only spirits but with people on a strong emotional level (as an Empath) and predicting the future (a psychic).&amp;nbsp; My intuition began screaming out to me and I had more and more dreams and nightmares about which path I should be on.&amp;nbsp; Very much in tune with my intuition today, I can look back and see that I had always doubted my intuitive gift.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Something I regret even today and I so wish I had embraced it sooner.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes we are simply not ready.</p>

<p>My Great Grandmother</p>
<p>After a time where days turned into weeks and months, I began to lose my link to Tarot again.&amp;nbsp; But, I always felt a pull towards it and it never left my mind once the whole time I was away.&amp;nbsp; I began to think it may be more powerful than I could imagine and maybe I didn&amp;rsquo;t have the ability to control it.&amp;nbsp; After university I got an office job and settled into a monthly wage where everyday was similar to the next, but, it was reassuringly predictable.&amp;nbsp; This was just what I wanted now and whilst undertaking this I began selling Silver Jewellery online.&amp;nbsp; But, nothing felt right and I still wondered how I could fit into the world and begin my path as many of my friends already had done.&amp;nbsp; Some were married with babies by now and others were off working in London.&amp;nbsp; The hustle and bustle of the city was not for me at this time and stability was all I thrived for.&amp;nbsp; The only thing that was missing in my life was a partner now.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/09/15/dscn1899_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>At a friend's wedding (I am far right in the green dress)</p>
<p>It was during March 2006 I met someone whom I felt a real connection with.&amp;nbsp; With him being a non believer in anything spiritual however, I had my doubts that things may not work out.&amp;nbsp; Being the spontaneous being I am, two months later I moved in and &amp;lsquo;believed&amp;rsquo; that finally I had met the right person.&amp;nbsp; I did not take any Tarot cards with me for I felt I should leave it behind and begin a new phase in my life. &amp;nbsp;It seemed luck was on my side and I was really starting to make a life for myself. It most certainly did prove a new phase and undoubtedly not for the best, at all.&amp;nbsp; Violence, depression and so much unhappiness saw me spiral into a deep dark hole.&amp;nbsp; I lost my job and to top it all I got engaged to try and patch things up.&amp;nbsp; A year and a half of living in misery my parents came to take me away from it all for I was by this time toying with the thought of simply ending everything.&amp;nbsp; With my hair falling out, eating like there was no tomorrow yet losing stone after stone I started to believe I had cancer.&amp;nbsp; My body was crying out for help and I was literally on self destruct.&amp;nbsp; Having found a safe hold with my parents I began to pick up the cards again.&amp;nbsp; Through a friend giving me a Tarot reading and showing me the paths that lie ahead I knew there was more for me out there.&amp;nbsp;</p>
<p>All my life I had been searching for something and it was a year later I realised what I had to do.&amp;nbsp; From my experiences I have begun my own Tarot Card Reading business online now.&amp;nbsp; The cards have really helped guide me and make me realise that everyone and anyone can be re-energised and brought &amp;lsquo;back to life&amp;rsquo; so to speak.&amp;nbsp; I am living proof of this.&amp;nbsp; As a &amp;lsquo;new&amp;rsquo; person I believe any person can be pulled out of the dark hole that engulfs your inner spirit so unjustly.&amp;nbsp; Tarot cards were and always will be my Spirit Guide.&amp;nbsp; They truly had the answers for me and I cannot stress how lucky I am to be alive.&amp;nbsp; Of course I couldn&amp;rsquo;t have done it without my parents, but, with Tarot also back in my life, I can honestly say I am back to Tilly again.&amp;nbsp; There IS hope for Everyone out there and I say this with the upmost sincerity.&amp;nbsp; To this day I believe Edith was the first of many messages trying to tell me what to do and to focus. &amp;nbsp;Although I found I was somewhat of a loner at school and was terribly shy, I was different for a reason.&amp;nbsp; This strange feeling has been with me for many years and I have always wondered what path was laid out for me in life.&amp;nbsp; Now I realise I am here to help guide others and already I have an international link to hundreds of wonderful people around the world.&amp;nbsp; Daily readings for others and of course myself is a new way of life for me and I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t have it any other way.&amp;nbsp; Everybody has a spiritual connection and pathway in their life and as they say the &amp;lsquo;mould was broken&amp;rsquo; but I believe, when &amp;lsquo;every one&amp;rsquo; of us was made.&amp;nbsp; Follow your intuition, be guided by the Tarot and trust everything happens for a reason.&amp;nbsp; You and your path in life are unique.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FTarot-is-my-Spirit-Guide.254769"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FTarot-is-my-Spirit-Guide.254769" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Spells, Magic and the Law of Attraction</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/Spells-Magic-and-the-Law-of-Attraction.251863</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>True magic is what mystics, witches, sorcerers, and other earthy folk have practiced since the beginning of time. It is not about the ingredients in a spell that helps you manifest your desires, but the intention behind the ritual, the thought that creates or manifests what you want in your life. The more you believe and have patience the greater probability the magic you perform will become a reality. <br /><br />There is really one simple little rule one must remember when performing magic. You must realize and know that everything in this world, every one, every plant, every rock everything is connected to you. This is why the old gypsies or wiccans gather herbs, rocks whatever that is natural to conduct a spell. To create a spell they would gather things that reminded them of what they wanted to manifest. If it was good health, then all the herbs that promote good health, if they wanted to manifest strength, then rocks or twigs would be gathered. But in reality it's never about the ingredients, it's about the power you have to tap into everything in the universe through thought, meditation and intention. <br /><br />The magic of the old days is now explained through quantum physics. Science has proven we can change our lives and reality. So people may argue that "magic" is a bunch of Hollywood baloney, but it's not. It's a way of living your life to the fullest in every aspect. It's using what scientists call "The Law of Attraction" to attract all good things in your life. Folk magic and gypsy magic are the same thing. Each practitioner or witch creates the formula or spell as they go along to bring the power to attract those things, whether it's love, health or wealth. <br /><br />There are simple steps to creating a magical life and manifesting the things you want in your life. The more you practice, the more power you gain. <br />When you decide to perform magic, or cast a spell or even just want to sit and dream about what you want in your life, then you must begin to practice the steps to developing your own inner power. <br /></p>
<ol>
<li>
<h3>The most powerful step to creating a magical life is GRATITUDE.</h3>
Gratitude builds faith, and faith helps you manifest what you want. Without gratitude and noticing" what comes your way and being grateful for it you cannot manifest the things in your life. Why should the spirit, God, or the universe respond when you are constantly accepting without gratitude or even SEEING your blessings? Be grateful for everything, for the penny you find in the street, for the fact you have hair, or for the good parts of health. Be grateful for everything say THANK YOU to the universe always for all things that come to you, and you will create more magic in your life. </li>
<li>
<h3>Know what you want, be clear on what it is you want.</h3>
&amp;nbsp;Write it down, if you want money write how much you need for the month or what you want for your life. If you want good health write it down and see yourself healthy and strong. Write down how you WISH to see yourself, not how you are now. Write down what you want whether it's a car, a job, a business, whatever. Pretend the page you write on is a Genie' and your wish is its command. </li>
<li>
<h3>Recognize that all things come from a force greater than yourself.</h3>
&amp;nbsp;You are part of a whole big universe, you are connected to it, to God, or Source Energy as a scientist would call it. Be aware that your spirit is part of what makes the world go round and what makes it function. </li>
<li>
<h3>Be generous.</h3>
You don't have to go out and write big checks or give people money to be generous. The greatest gift you can give is your time to others. Whether it's listening to their woes, or their triumphs. Listening to a child or doing a favor for someone. Generosity can be you giving your time as a volunteer. Yes, and money too is important to give if you have it. Always give and you'll always have. </li>
<li>
<h3>Transform doubt or negative thoughts.</h3>
Wow, this can be a tough one since we have thousands of thoughts each day, some of them very negative. We must be conscious of the negative vibes and change them as soon as we are aware of them. </li>
<li>
<h3>Accept your situation, see it for what it is and let it go.</h3>
More than likely if you step back for a bit, you can see what you've learned from it, or ask the universe or God/Goddess what you need to learn about it. </li>
<li>
<h3>Never call yourself a name, like "I'm such a loser, wow, I'm stupid, how can I be so dumb?</h3>
&amp;nbsp;Take the negative words out of your vocabulary, because if you say you are a loser, then you are truly defining yourself as one. Stop that now! </li>
<li>
<h3>The most powerful shamans/witches/ or wise people know that by keeping your body healthy you have more power in your life.</h3>
It's important to always recognize the mind, body and spirit connection to create real magic. </li>
<li>
<h3>Keep a daily journal.</h3>
Write down your thoughts, desires, and dreams. Make up spells or rituals in the journal. A Book of Shadows is actually a personal journal created by the practitioner. </li>
<li>
<h3>Meditate!</h3>
There is nothing more important to a magical life than the art of meditation. You don't have to do anything fancy, just clear you mind for at least 20 or 30 minutes a day. You can listen to soothing, music and just concentrate on the musical notes to clear your mind quickly and effortlessly. </li>
<li>
<h3>Get rid of addictions, mental, physical, sexual, spiritual, all of them.</h3>
When you conquer something like stopping smoking, or losing weight, or becoming healthier, your magical power becomes stronger. </li>
<li>
<h3>Magic is a way of life.</h3>
It is a way of becoming more aware of the spirit already within you. You can transform anything, be do or have anything. Magic begins in your mind and manifests into the reality or outcome that you want. Being magical in the end, is just being more spiritual. </li>

<title>What Eagle Means to Me</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/What-Eagle-Means-to-Me.145089</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>I still remember well, the day my mother taught me the meaning of Eagle. She was a great teacher as well as a respected Medicine Woman. When she taught it came from her heart and she never talked over you and always looked directly into your eyes. She would place her hand on your shoulder and say, &amp;ldquo;Young one, sit her with me and I'll teach you something that was taught to me when I was your age&amp;rdquo;.</p>
<p>One day we were out on a nature walk and searching for plants in the forest, so she could make medicine for some that were in need of it in our village. We were walking in a large clearing high above the village on the mountain. We both looked up and watched the large Eagle that soared effortlessly in the sky above us. Its cry filled the early morning air and as I listened in awe of this truly magnificent creature, my mother told me the story of the Eagle.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/socyberty/2008/06/22/189315_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><a href="http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.firstpeople.us/pictures/eagles/1024x768/Golden_Eagle-Soaring_High-1024x768-bandwidth-thief.jpg&amp;amp;imgrefurl=http://www.firstpeople.us/pictures/eagles/1024x768/Golden-Eagle-Soaring-High-1024x768.html&amp;amp;h=768&amp;amp;w=1024&amp;amp;sz=28&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;start=1&amp;amp;tbnid=GQGvWT9rcpj6qM:&amp;amp;tbnh=113&amp;amp;tbnw=150&amp;amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Deagle%2Bsoaring%2Bhigh%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4PALA_enCA235" target="_blank">Image Source</a></p>
<p>Look mother, the Eagle has come to visit us and it watches over us from up there on high. I said. She could tell I was very excited and began to speak to me.</p>
<p>Yes young one, the Eagle is very sacred to our people; he is Creator's messenger. The Eagle carries our prayers to Creator and often he returns with visions and gifts for us. We use the Eagle's feathers for healing and cleansing for they hold great power within them. The eagle has great vision; he is very strong and his strength and great endurance is matched by none.</p>
<p>The Eagle lives in almost complete isolation and you can find their nest up very high and on the face of cliffs. They like the isolation out in the wild for this is how they propagate.</p>
<p>Eagle teaches us that our walk can only be ours and that like with all Creatures great and small we must face life that is before us on its terms. Eagle teaches us that we must be free to choose our own path and that we must also be respectful of others that have chosen to walk other paths. The great Eagle has excellent hearing and eye sight, so when Eagle comes to us it often awakens within us the ability to hear both psychically and spiritually.</p>
<p>The eagle and his mate work together to feed and tend their young ones and if we observe them carefully they teach us that all things must be shared as equals and that there's no one above another. The Eagles eyesight is many times clearer then ours. This teaches us that like the eagle, we to can help others that are going through dark and bothering times by looking at the whole picture and helping them to overcome the stumbling blocks they place in their way.</p>
<p>The Eagle soars effortlessly on the breathe of spirit and its powerful legs allow it to walk easily on land. This teaches us that as we move ahead both physically and spiritually that we must do so with balance. Eagle teaches us that as we rise to the heavens and beyond in our spiritual journey and awareness, that we must remain also well grounded in reality. Eagle teaches us to always strive to be the very best we can be as we evolve to greater heights both spiritually and physically.</p>
<p>Most of what my mother taught me at the time was or seemed way over my head. I found that as I begin to get older that I also understood the lessons she so lovingly took the time to teach me.</p>
<p>&amp;nbsp;</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FWhat-Eagle-Means-to-Me.145089"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FWhat-Eagle-Means-to-Me.145089" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Why Do We Need Meditation?</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/Why-Do-We-Need-Meditation.129314</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>A Master of Zen says that meditation is like washing your cloth; it does not make you an illuminated person but you need to clean your mind again and again in your life from the dirt. Washing your cloth does not guarantee that you will be healthy and cleaned forever. When you use your cloth in daily life, it will be dirty and you need to wash it again for your health. In meditation, we feel comfort, peace and happiness inside for some period of times. However, when we face the real life, we experience so many stresses and temptation. Negative thinking and low emotion that creates bioplasmic waste in our mind. One of many ways to overcome this problem inside is meditation.</p>
 
<p>In Christian tradition, Lord Jesus taught &amp;ldquo; Lord Prayer&amp;rdquo; to His disciples. In the &amp;ldquo; Lord Prayer&amp;rdquo;, we ask for &amp;ldquo;daily bread&amp;rdquo;.  &amp;ldquo;Bread/ food&amp;rdquo; in the Lord Prayer is English translation from &amp;ldquo;Manna&amp;rdquo; (Aramaic word). As we know, the language used in Bible is Aramaic language. In Aramaic language, "Manna" does not only mean "bread" or &amp;ldquo;prosperity&amp;rdquo; but also bread of heaven or energy/ love from heaven. It may be interpreted as "Prana" in Indian tradition, "Ki" in Japanese and &amp;ldquo;Chi&amp;rdquo; in Chinese language.  So, it also means spiritual abundance and prosperity. We need bread or food everyday because in daily activities we will get hungry again. That is why we should eat again. In daily live, to make us strong enough to overcome the obstacle, we need to eat bread from heaven daily. It gives us energy to be channel of God's peace, joy, and love. That is why we need praying, fasting, meditation, and other spiritual exercises as supplements to our life.</p>
 
<p>Meditation exercise exists in various religions and traditions. In Islam, there is dzkir or dikir or zikir. Five-times daily praying ritual in Islam is also the way to manage daily awareness. In Catholic tradition, rosary and contemplation of the prayer of St.Francis of Assisi is also meditation. People also do meditation with movement and gesture to synchronize body, mind, and spirit, such as: Kuji-in in Ninja tradition, Mudra in Buddhism, and Yoga in Hindu. Tai Chi from China, Pentjak Silat Martial Arts and Javanese Traditional Dance, Sufi Whirling Dance are examples of walking meditation.</p>
 
<p>Why are all of them categorized as meditation exercise? Because meditation means space between two event. In our daily life, we experience many events that can stimulate our anger and other lower emotions so we need the space for inner peace. We can get into the space by relaxation. Many people describe the space as emptiness and inner peace. However, it is difficult to keep our cloth always cleans in our daily activities and the most difficult thing in spirituality is to bring meditative mind into meditative life (topo ngrame).</p>
 
<p>Meditation exercise really helped friend, who lived in Jakarta, a big and crowded city in Indonesia. He had got depressed and easily flew in a rage before someone introduced him meditation exercise. He attended pranic healing and pranic psychotherapy workshop, presented by World Pranic Healing Foundation and Institute of Research and Inner study. Once a week, he practiced pranic psychotherapy by cleansing his chakra and meditation of Twin Heart, that contains citation: "Let me the channel of your peace" by St.Francis of Asisi. Psychologically, he got improvement and his relationship grew better.</p>
 
<p>The paragraph above is just one of example of the benefit of meditation in our life. You can choose the other types or methods of meditation that can be useful for your life.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FWhy-Do-We-Need-Meditation.129314"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FWhy-Do-We-Need-Meditation.129314" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Om: the Cosmic Mantra</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/Om-the-Cosmic-Mantra.96765</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>In Hindu mythology, `Om', "Aum" or "Omkara" whatever one calls it, is not infact a word but  considered an intonation, a complete mantra,  which, like music, transcends the barriers of age, race culture, religion and even the species.</p>
 
<p>The sound "Om" is considered to be the origin of all -that is why researchers say that "Om" was the first sound that emanated after the big bang.</p>
 
<p>For spiritualists, "Om" is a cosmic sound which Yogis have felt and heard in their subconscious and while in trance.</p>
 
<p>The greatest beauty of "Om" is that a reference to it is found in almost every Indian language and in every dialect where this wholesome cosmic sound is denoted alphabetically.</p>
 
<p>There is also a reference to "Om" in Oriya, Gujarati, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Sharda and Sindhi languages. They are all Indian languages. Another interesting feature is that a reference to "Om" is found in foreign languages too, including German, Chinese and the Greek.  'Om' in fact does not belong to a particular sect or religion. A reference to it is found in those who belong to other faiths as well. Researchers say that in Greek, it is pronounced &amp;ldquo;Omein or Omeni'.  The famous Buddhist mantra &amp;ldquo;'Om' Mani Padme Hoon&amp;rdquo; too makes a reference of "Om". Buddhists in Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir do recite this mantra daily while remembering the Ultimate. They call it the basic mantra.</p>
 
<p>In Sikhism, Om Manta is linked with ``Ek Omkar''.   The best connotation of "Om" is found in Bhagwat Gita where Lord Krishna, during a conversation with Arjuna (in the 8th and 10th discourses), explains the significance of this eternal sound.</p>
 
<p>Krishna says that there is harmony, peace and bliss in this simple but deeply philosophical sound. By vibrating the sacred syllable "Om", the supreme combination of letters, if one thinks of the ultimate personality of Godhead and quits the body, he will certainly reach the highest state, viz., "statelessness" (eternity).</p>
 
<p>&amp;ldquo;Om&amp;rdquo;, which is said to be the beginning, middle and end and is eternal- beyond all material restrictions. It is considered unlimited, transcendental and indestructible</p>
 
<p>It is called the sound which expresses all truth. It is with because of this reason that priests begin the worship with "Om". Spiritual teachers begin their lessons with "Aum" and even all the Hindu mantras, including the Gaytri Mantra, generally begin and end with "Om".</p>
 
<p>Linguists believe that "Om" is in fact made of three Sanskrit letters- &amp;ldquo;Aa, Aau and Ma&amp;rdquo; which when combined gives rise to the sound "Aum" or "Om". It is believed to be the basic sound of the world that contains all other sounds. It is a mantra or prayer in itself and if correctly intoned, it can resonate through the body so that the sound penetrates to the centre of one's being- the Atma or the soul.  That is why, the great mystic and the 14th century poetess of Kashmir, Lalleshwari described in one of her sayings that, for one who recites the single mantra "Om" every moment , intoning a thousand mantras are literarily meaningless. In yet another Vaakh, Lalleshwari, (equally revered by Muslims and Hindus), says that "Om" is such a mantra and such an experience that an individual only has to intone it and hear it!</p>
 
<p>In day-to-day life, "Om" can be heard even when a creature inhales and exhales. That is why sages and saints have been practicing this mantra while meditating for generations. When a temple bell chimes, the vibration produced too resembles the sound "Om". Or for that matter, if you try a simple tuning fork, a similar reaction, viz., "Om", the cosmic sound, results. Even during echoes one can gauge and feel the sound.</p>
 
<p>Om' is in everyone's genes. It is a question of how one reads it, deciphers it, finds it, traces it, and links it to one's roots. "Om" is for all and in fact no one can patent it!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FOm-the-Cosmic-Mantra.96765"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FOm-the-Cosmic-Mantra.96765" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Out-of-Box Thinking</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/Out-of-Box-Thinking.83988</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Many times I wondered what keeps us busy all the time. Is it job? Or is it our career? Or the responsibilities attached with both. Whatever it may be, it has made us loose something that's we didn't want to loose. A calm life, a life of togetherness and joys. I don't know whether the very definition of "calm life" has changed for everyone but it certainly hasn't changed for me.</p>
 
<p>It seems like we are keeping up pace with this fast moving world or we have become an integral part of this non stop world. It feels like we are carrying this world along with us, but deep inside a certain type of loneliness is creeping up. It's not exactly a feeling of loneliness; it's a question that we frequently ask ourselves. Am I satisfied? Or putting it more appropriately Am I happy with myself? Every individual asks this question to themselves throughout the life.</p>
<p>What's the answer we get or rather what's the answer we expect. "Yes I am happy". Keeping aside all the other factors such as family and career, just as an individual are we happy within ourselves? If we are really happy then our family life and our much concerned career will be perfect.</p>
<p>This faster world consumes more than it what it gives. What does it give us? Nothing but some monetary benefits along with some real work pressures, tensions and sleepless nights. And what does it take "Our whole Life". We work all along the day and sometimes end up working all through the night. Where do we live? In what time we live or where is the time to live? Ya, may be in weekends. Why life has become so dependent on weekends? And why weekdays became a symbol of non living, hectic schedules, work etc. "There's a release on this Sunday and you should be available for presentation" your boss conveys. There goes a weekend. And slowly you tend to think &amp;ldquo;this weekend it's going to be hell&amp;rdquo;.</p>
<p>&amp;ldquo;Hell" it used to be an afterlife concept long ago, but now it has become a day to day entity. Words like "Heaven" and "Hell" have lost their internal meanings. I remember my grandma used to tell "we need to be a good person from heart and do good things to get to heaven after life and if we don't we will end up in hell". But today we tell her "grandma heaven and hell are here itself. Even if we do good things, work hard we will still end up in hell". We are so much binded to things that we tend to forget how to live happily. Ya it's true "Its Kalyuga now". We resigned from a life where we lived, to join a life where we search for time to live". Am I right?</p>
<p>Coming back to the question "Am I happy?&amp;rdquo;.  I will ask myself this question and in the meantime you ask this question to yourself and let's see what answers we get? Be frank to yourself because this question is for you and only you will be benefited with a true answer. Being true to yourself is the greatest thing a man can achieve in his life. That's my point of view and I am true to myself and in that way only I assess myself. In that way we will at least end up in trying to live n enjoy in the small moments of happiness that we all usually tend to overlook.</p>
<p>Once one of my friends asked "Why you always travel by train when you go to Kerala? It will take only three hrs if you go by plane". Tell you one thing this person always took flight to anywhere he went. I replied &amp;ldquo;you don't know how it feels like when you travel by train. Watching slowly the busiest city fall far behind, it brings a special type of happiness. You gradually move from a place where time flies, to a place where time stops just long enough so that you can live in it. I took train just to elongate those moments of joys to see things fall behind myself even though I know I have to be back here within days. But I lived in a moment, and that's what matters." He didn't understand that, he will never coz he still took time ahead of life and I took life instead.</p>
<p>I hope you will understand things. I can't explain or give any clue to how to be happy coz it's you who is living and you will better know what things will make you happy. Be ready to think Out of the Box and then only you will know better what to do and how to be happy. I think by this time you have got your answer, and I hope the answer is "I am happy".</p>
 
<p>I hope I haven't strayed away from reality. So what are you waiting for? Haven't got any answers yet? Come on ...</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FOut-of-Box-Thinking.83988"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FOut-of-Box-Thinking.83988" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>How to Attract Abundance Into Your Life</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/How-to-Attract-Abundance-Into-Your-Life.59288</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<h3>Show the Universe That You are Ready to Receive Abundance</h3> 
<p>Prove that you are a good steward of the blessings that come into your life. 
Organize your finances to eliminate waste and use wisely the money that you already have. 
Clean, repair, and properly maintain the material possessions you already have. 
In short, show that you are prepared to accept and care for the gifts of abundance.</p>
 
 <h3>Make Room for Abundance</h3> 
 
 <p>Clear out the dusty, musty clutter that is taking up space where abundance could reside.
 You may want to offer items you no longer need or want in a yard sale, or give them to friends, neighbors, or a charitable organization 
 where they will be used, appreciated, and contribute to someone else's abundant life.</p>
 
 <h3>Show Your Confidence in Abundance</h3> 
 
 <p>Make it a habit to donate to worthy organizations or to individuals who are not as fortunate as you. 
 When you trust that there is more than enough for everyone, you generate the energy of abundance.</p>
 
 <h3>Allow Abundance Into Your Life</h3> 
 
 <p>The energy of doubt interrupts the flow of abundance, 
 so it's important to trust that the blessings you need will find you. One way to maintain that trust is to.</p>
 
 <h3>Convince Yourself of the Abundance in Your Life</h3>
 <p>We tend to focus on the negative, letting memories of our blessings slide away. 
 Keep a list of all the ways you are blessed. Update it daily. Be aware of the accumulations of small blessings and gifts of abundance
 that come to you every day.</p>
 
<h3>Enjoy the Abundance of Others</h3>
 
 <p>Celebrate with your friends, family, and even total strangers when abundance comes into their lives. 
 Remember - abundance is plentiful. Someone else's good fortune does not take away from the blessings in your life.</p>
 
<h3>Give Abundance Room to Move</h3>
 
<p> Accept that what you need will find its way to you in one form or another. 
 Rather than asking for a new SUV (red, with black leather interior), refine your need (a way to get back and forth to work and the supermarket).
 The nature of abundance must be allowed to choose its own course.</p>
 
 <h3>Know the Meaning of Abundance</h3> 
 
 <p>Abundance is “an ample quantity.”</p>
 <p>This doesn't necessarily mean an ample quantity of money. 
 If you have an abundance of money, you can buy the things you want. Money and things, however, 
 are no guarantee that you will have the quality of life that brings contentment and fulfillment. 
 True abundance fills the spirit, not just the pocketbook.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FHow-to-Attract-Abundance-Into-Your-Life.59288"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FHow-to-Attract-Abundance-Into-Your-Life.59288" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Cellular Memory Removal</title>
<link>http://www.socyberty.com/Spirituality/Cellular-Memory-Removal.53910</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>When one has reached a certain level of spiritual advancement, it is quite common to incarnate into a body that is encased in compacted toxic cellular memory,  usually chosen prior to birth in order to accelerate their spiritual growth and to advance their awareness.</p>


 <p>This toxic residue of cellular memory manifests in the present as chronic, complex, and often cruel physical, mental, and emotional problems when there is so much "toxic waste" that energetically the person looks like they are covered from head to toe in a large, thick black coat. When the individual's problems are this severe, they will inevitably contract some "life challenging" circumstance or illness which is difficult to recover from whilst the cellular memory remains. Often this coat covers over past life chains and must be removed the individual before they can even begin past life healing or entity clearance. </p>


 <p>The goal with cellular memory removal is to assist the healing of those with compacted toxic residue from cellular memory. This residue is usually part of a kind of "karmic debt consolidation repayment plan" where the individual elects to have their toughest spiritual issues all rolled into this cellular memory layer and brought into their energy field when they reincarnate. </p>


 <p>This exercise will allow the afflicted person to peel back the layers of cellular memory one at a time so that the residue can be released slowly, allowing the hosts body time to harmoniously release the residue of negativity caused by the memory and integrate the changes that its removal will bring about. </p>


 <p>Preparation: Doing this exercise daily is the key to making it successful.</p>

 <ol>
  <li> The afflicted person must do this exercise at night after they have taken a bath but before they have gone to bed. Once this exercise is complete for the day they will need to drink a full glass of water for grounding and cellular re-hydration, and then go straight to sleep.  </li>

  <li> Patience will be required for a month or so as shedding cellular memory can be quite disorienting at first. After all, it is likely that this person has been living with these problems energetically for centuries or even millennia and as such their physical body has never known any other way of being and they will then have to adjust to living without them.  </li>

 </ol>
 <p>This is very powerful and takes time for the work you have done on the inner bodies to be reflected in your outer body ("as above, so below").  However if you are doing this process to effect a change, then you should be prepared for one.  You know the saying: "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!"</p>
 <ol>
  <li> Being comfortable is the key.  You must lie down and be ready to go to sleep immediately upon completion of this exercise in order to enable your body to begin releasing "toxic junk" right away. </li>
  <li> If at all possible, try to do this work at the same time every day. If you feel that you are becoming worn out from doing this exercise, take a few days off or do it during a holiday period (5 days at most, unless you are guided to do otherwise).  </li>
 </ol>

 <h3>How To Do This Exercise</h3>

 <ol>
  <li> Take some deep, refreshing breaths until you are totally comfortable and relaxed as you are lying in your bed.  Invite your guides, your angels, and your Higher Self to watch over you as you do this exercise.</li>

  <li> Close your eyes and "look" at your inner body on the screen of your mind.  You should see it encased in toxic residue.  Envision this residue so that you can see it more clearly.  Usually spirit will guide you the outer layer of the memory you will be removing during the evening's session.  This might take a few moments so wait until you "know" what you need to do. </li>


  <li> Visualize getting into a boat and rowing to an island where you will shed this hazardous material.  Once you get there, you tie up the boat and walk to the universal cleansing pit where you will remove the layer of memory that you will be releasing for the evening. If you are having difficulty in removing the layer, ask the "hazmat" angels that are standing by to assist you in removing it. </li>


  <li> Once the layer of memory is off of you, throw it into the universal cleansing pit which  is powerfully fueled by the universal life stream which is the source of all love and healing. This stream has the power to burn off the deepest, darkest problems. Watch the coat being dissolved by the "healing waters" of the golden, white universal life stream until it is gone.  Be sure to "thank it for the lessons" before it goes. </li>

  <li> Once the layer of coat is gone, declare the following to the universe. "I now release the pattern in my body and my consciousness that created this energetic residue. Please send me the lessons I need to learn from this situation quickly, easily, and harmoniously so that I can heal and move forward in my life".</li>


  <li> Sometimes your guides may intervene at this point and tell you that it will take awhile to learn the lessons that are associated with the layer of memory that you just removed.  Or they might give you some other helpful advice about how to advance your healing process. Listen closely to whatever they tell you to do. </li>

 </ol>
 <p>Note: Be prepared for this exercise to take time to produce results. Removing cellular memory is much like turning a ship in the ocean - it is not going to happen immediately.  If it took you millenia to get this way, then it is going to take time to "undo the damage". It will not get better until you take action... in this life or in the next one!</p>



 <p>Note: Whatever it is - if it seems to make sense to you and you believe that it will benefit you - then "just do it.” </p>

 <p> Once the memory is gone and your angels/guides are finished speaking with you, get back in the boat and row to shore.  Up until now, this exercise should have taken you no more than five minutes to do.  For the remaining twenty five minutes, visualize yourself lying down with your body being bathed in the healing light of The Universe. Feel yourself soaking up the Divine Love of the Source as a green healing light. </p>
 

 <p>Note: It is very important that more time be devoted to basking in the healing light of The Source than in dwelling on the toxic residue.  For only in the light of The Universe can your deep seated problems be healed and released.  While you are basking in this love light, you may experience information on your present day issues. Just go with and remember this... that you have already done the hard part. You are already living through difficult circumstances - so getting more insight on it can never be as bad as living it. If you are afraid, remember that your guides are standing by you, keeping you safe and protected at all times.</p>
 <ol>

  <li> Bask in this light and focus on absorbing the healing warmth and light of the Source.  You may notice that more of the residual cellular memory on your body is just being dissolved on its own.  Do not focus on dissolving these memories but let it fall away from you on its own.  Know that if the memory leaves you, it is because it no longer serves you or because you have already learned the lesson. Just let it go with love.</li>

  <li> Be careful not to be too aggressive in taking off the layers of memory.  It took centuries and millennia for you to get this residue and thus it is likely that you will require months and even years to take it off - which, in the universal scheme of things, is lightning fast. Just be patient and keep doing this exercise - slowly.  </li>
 </ol>

 <p>Warning: You may be tempted to take off the coat too quickly;  Resist it! If you go too fast in removing your cellular memory, you may experience negative side effects because your bodies (spiritual, physical, mental and emotional) cannot integrate the changes fast enough.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FCellular-Memory-Removal.53910"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socyberty.com%2FSpirituality%2FCellular-Memory-Removal.53910" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
