Shortly following the passing of my father in 2005, I began attending a monthly mediumship circle with three friends. During our third meeting, my father initiated the first of numerous messages from beyond.

This moment was made even more meaningful due to the presence of my father’s hospice nurse among the sitters.

I felt incredibly lucky during those final six months of my father’s life to have the incredible support of this earthly angel, and also to share a bond with her through our mutual interest in the psychic and spiritual realms.

It was an added benefit to have her as a connection to him in our psychic gatherings.

At one juncture, though, my father ceased his communications during our sessions for about three months. When he eventually returned, I inquired about his absence, and he answered, “Learning about joy!”

This revelation surprised me as my father rarely exhibited or recognized joy during his time on earth. Perhaps he simply didn’t let himself experience joy. The only occasions when he seemed genuinely happy or joyous were when he had consumed what he referred to as “a few sherbets,” meaning he was quite inebriated!

I felt a mix of sadness and happiness. Sadness because he had never experienced joy in the way I understood it – simply playing with my pets, sharing laughs with friends, or feeling elated when a client returned with good news about their life. But I was happy that he was finally open to learning about and experiencing joy.

Joy is the happiness of love – love aware of its own inner happiness. Pleasure comes from without, and joy comes from within, and it is, therefore, within reach of everyone in the world ~ Fulton J. Sheen

He constantly appeared to be searching for reasons to feel unhappy or anxious in his life. I cherished him deeply, yet looking back, he always seemed to be restlessly seeking joy in some distant land or exotic location to which we often traveled over the years. He frequently mentioned waiting for his “ship to come in.” It never did.

As a musician, he brought joy to many through his live performances, but I doubt he ever found peace within himself. I have come to understand that the exhilarating feeling of being happy, fulfilled, and at peace can only arise when we allow our physical reality to align with our higher self and soul purpose.

Reflecting on our past, my father would question my eagerness to help others, believing it unlikely they would reciprocate. Yet, I’ve realized that joy is not about receiving – it is about giving freely and aiding others, particularly animals in need.

The essence lies in acting with intent and kindness. Spontaneous acts of goodwill. When we live in accordance with our purpose, giving becomes effortless, leading to joy and fulfillment.

As my father approached the end of his life, he became fixated on what would happen to his possessions after he was gone. It was both heartbreaking and somewhat unsettling.

Gradually, I have donated most of his belongings to those who require them more. Initially, before disposing of anything he owned, I would reach out to him in our mediumship circle, and his consistent response was that he no longer had any attachment to material possessions.

If only mortals would comprehend the greatness of divine grace—how beautiful, how noble, how precious it is. It hides countless riches within, along with joys and delights! ~ Saint Rose of Lima

He would often say, “Just give it to those in need!” How unfortunate that he needed to wait until after passing to experience the joy of giving, kindness, and charity.

Some individuals may never fully grasp and experience joy until after transitioning from this life, as in the spirit realm, we are liberated from earthly burdens, fears, and material concerns.

Upon transitioning, our souls gain a broader, more elevated perspective, allowing us to view our recent life experiences with clarity and compassion. In this elevated awareness, some may finally embrace unconditional love, peace, and joy in a manner they could not while in their earthly form.

Delaying the experience of joy until it is too late is a karmic regret some may confront at life’s end. Yet, this does not have to be the case. Life presents us with countless opportunities each day to embrace joy in the present.

We often postpone happiness, thinking it will arrive once we reach certain milestones or overcome specific obstacles, but the reality is joy is not a distant prize – it’s an emotion we can nurture every day. If we continue to delay it, we risk missing life’s simple delights, meaningful connections, and the beauty of the now.

Joy isn’t a phenomenon that suddenly appears at the right time in the future. It needs to be cultivated, nurtured, and cherished daily, before time runs out and the chance to live and love fully slips away, leaving us to reflect on it in the afterlife. Embracing joy in the present is a powerful expression of intention and self-awareness.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice ~ Saint Francis of Assisi

Here are some suggestions to help you create and nurture more joy in your life right now:

Practice gratitude: Dedicate some time each day to think about the things you are grateful for, even the small aspects. Gratitude shifts your attention from what is lacking to what is plentiful, allowing joy to flourish.

Be present: Fully engage in the moment. Avoid getting wrapped up in past events or worrying about the future. Mindfulness, meditation, or simply pausing to soak in the beauty around you can ground you in the present, where joy exists.

Cultivate connections: Build deep relationships with others through love, empathy, and kindness. Joy is magnified when shared, and meaningful relationships are a source of happiness.

Have fun: Prioritize activities that bring you joy—whether it’s a hobby, a creative pursuit, or time spent outdoors. Regularly engaging in what ignites your spirit allows joy to naturally integrate into your life.

Release control: Let go of stringent expectations or perfectionism. Joy often emerges when we cease trying to control everything and allow life to flow with faith and openness.

Celebrate achievements: Recognize and celebrate minor victories or moments of progress. Cultivating joy often revolves around acknowledging and appreciating small successes that occur each day.

Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself. By fostering self-love and kindness, you create space for joy to enter your heart, unburdened by self-criticism or guilt.

Embrace change: Understand that joy doesn’t have to be associated with lasting or ideal situations. Even during difficult times, look for moments of beauty, humor, or connection.

By incorporating some of these practices into your daily routines, you’ll not only foster more joy but also live a fuller and more authentic life. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Seek out some joy today.

Finding Joy: Delving into the Notion of Happiness Beyond Existence

Happiness is a collective goal that has captivated thinkers, psychologists, and individuals throughout history. While many link happiness with the experiences and achievements of our earthly lives, an increasing curiosity surrounds the idea of happiness beyond this life. This article seeks to explore this captivating subject and illuminate the various viewpoints regarding finding joy beyond our mortal journey.

The idea of happiness beyond life has been examined by various cultures and faiths for centuries. In many beliefs, the afterlife is regarded as a realm where individuals can achieve ultimate happiness and fulfillment. For instance, in Christianity, the promise of eternal life in God’s presence is often tied to everlasting joy. Likewise, in Hinduism, the concept of Moksha signifies liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth, culminating in eternal bliss.

Beyond religious doctrines, certain philosophical perspectives also investigate the concept of happiness extending beyond life. For example, the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus argued that death should not be feared, as it marks the end of all sensations, including pain. According to Epicurus, the absence of suffering in death creates a state of tranquility and, consequently, happiness.

Lately, the examination of happiness beyond life has gained traction through the prevalence of near-death experiences (NDEs) and testimonials from those who claim to have had glimpses of the afterlife. These encounters often entail feelings of profound peace, love, and joy, prompting many to reconsider the essence of happiness beyond our earthly life.

One theory that explores the possibility of happiness beyond life posits that consciousness continues to persist after death. Advocates of this perspective suggest that if consciousness endures, it opens avenues for experiencing joy and fulfillment in dimensions beyond our current comprehension.

Nonetheless, it is crucial to recognize that the notion of happiness beyond life remains deeply subjective and speculative. As it engages with the unknown and metaphysical, providing concrete evidence or definitive conclusions is challenging. This exploration often leans on personal beliefs, experiences, and interpretations.

For those eager to discover joy beyond existence, it is vital to concentrate on cultivating happiness in the present. The quest for happiness ought not to depend solely on the expectation of an afterlife, but rather on appreciating the beauty and marvel of our current life. By embracing gratitude, mindfulness, and fostering important relationships, individuals can enhance their well-being and potentially pave the way for a fulfilling afterlife, if it exists.

In the end, the exploration of finding joy beyond life is inherently personal and subjective. Whether founded in religious beliefs, philosophical reflections, or personal experiences, the quest for happiness beyond our mortal existence offers a compelling insight into the human search for meaning and fulfillment. While the answers may be elusive, seeking happiness in both life and the potential of an afterlife can imbue individuals with a sense of purpose and hope. Continue reading →

Physiognomy, an age-old belief, posits that the face unveils the concealed truths of the mind, body, and spirit. In various cultures, the face is perceived as a mirror of the soul or inner essence.

This conviction that an individual’s physical traits, such as the contours of their face, eyes, or nose, can divulge insights into their inherent nature, is rooted in various ancient civilizations and has been upheld for millennia. In several mystical traditions, facial traits are thought to also indicate influences from past lives and karmic residues.

The face serves as more than a mere reflection of our feelings; rather, it acts as a blueprint of our physical well-being, life experiences, and even our spiritual condition. By scrutinizing our facial characteristics and deciphering their subtle cues, we can uncover significant insights regarding our health and overall wellness.

Among the earliest and most comprehensive systems of facial analysis stems from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This practice, known as Mian Xiang, has been in existence for over 3,000 years. Experts regard the human face as a representation of an individual’s life journey, health status, and destiny. They categorize the face into distinct areas, each linked to different internal organs and emotional states. Facial assessments are employed to identify imbalances in both body and mind.

Physiognomy also thrived in ancient Greece. Notably, philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) discussed it, contending that specific facial characteristics could signify personality attributes and that there exists a correlation between one’s appearance and their character. Greek intellectuals surmised that external traits, including facial configuration, could yield insights into a person’s moral and psychological constitution.

Throughout the Middle Ages, physiognomy gained traction in Europe, drawing influence from both Greek and Roman philosophies. During this era, it was frequently integrated with astrology, operating under the belief that celestial alignments could shape physical attributes and personality.

Within our facial features lie mystical characters that carry the essence of our souls, allowing anyone who cannot read letters to perceive our natures ~ Thomas Browne

The study of facial features underwent a revival during the Renaissance and early modern era. It was employed not solely in the field of medicine but extended into art, literature, and even legal matters. Specifically, during the 16th and 17th centuries, doctors and scholars endeavored to formalize the significance of facial traits in more scientific terms.

In contemporary holistic and alternative health realms, facial analysis is often combined with other methodologies to offer a broader understanding of an individual’s physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Currently, physiognomy is enjoying renewed interest with the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and technological innovations that evaluate the human face. Modern facial recognition tools fueled by AI can effectively identify individuals, gauge their emotional states, and even deduce certain personality aspects by interpreting facial gestures, micro-expressions, and biometric data. Additionally, advancements in health tech enable AI to recognize indicators of physical ailments such as stress, fatigue, and specific diseases by analyzing facial signs like skin color and ocular movements.

Through extensive study of this philosophy, I have discovered it to be an effective instrument in evaluating both my own wellness and that of my clients and pupils.

Different regions of the face align with various organs and bodily operations. For instance, the forehead signifies circulation, the pupils reflect the health of the nervous system, while the area beneath the eyes pertains to the kidneys. The nose’s tip has ties to the heart, the region above the upper lip is linked to reproductive organs, and the upper lip corresponds to the stomach.

Modern physiognomy adopts a holistic viewpoint, indicating that facial features are indicative of not just genetic predispositions, but also lifestyle choices, emotional experiences, and personality traits. Practitioners frequently utilize facial reading as a mechanism for self-discovery, personal growth, and better understanding of others.

Fetal Facial Development

The origins of our facial characteristics trace back to the earliest phases of fetal formation. The upper section of the face takes shape within the initial 28 days post-conception. This timeline is pivotal, as any medications or substances consumed by the mother during this span can profoundly impact an individual’s life.

Birthmarks frequently develop during this period as well. Some esoteric perspectives suggest these marks are often linked to trauma or injury from past incarnations. Alternatively, they may be attributed to the consumption of food and toxins by the mother during pregnancy.

The mid-section of the face forms over the next 63 days, culminating in a complete facial structure by the 91st day. The lower portion of the face undergoes the most growth during the subsequent 189 days of gestation.

These developmental phases (7, 21, 63, and 189 days) are noteworthy as they progress in a ratio of one to three. This progression not only highlights the complexity of human formation, but also intimates a deeper interrelation between the development of our facial characteristics and the equilibrium of energies within our systems.

Effectively applying the principles of yin and yang is essential in the science of nutritional balancing… While this is an age-old concept, its application within modern Western health practices is relatively new ~ Lawrence Wilson

Nutritional Yin And Yang

A pivotal component of ancient physiognomy teachings is the harmony of Yin and Yang energy, especially regarding nutrition. Yin and Yang is a principle in Chinese philosophy that signifies the dual forces of energy in the universe. These forces are traditionally illustrated as a circle split into black (Yin) and white (Yang) halves, each containing a small circle of the opposing color.

Contrary to common belief, Yin and Yang are not adversarial forces; rather, they are complementary and interdependent. They are dynamic and continuously evolving. Neither is categorically good or bad. Based on this metaphysical principle, the objective in all lifestyle and spiritual practices should be to attain a balance between Yin and Yang, as imbalances lead to disharmony and dysfunction.

This concept underlies numerous facets of ancient Chinese culture, encompassing medicine, healing, philosophy, and martial arts. It offers a framework for grasping the interconnectedness and balance present in the universe.

In culinary terms, Yang foods are linked to warmth, vitality, and energy, whereas Yin foods evoke cooling, soothing, and calming properties.

Yang Foods: They encompass animal-based products such as beef, pork, eggs, poultry, and certain fish like red-fleshed varieties. Salty options like caviar and aged cheeses are also recognized as very yang. Overindulgence in yang foods can produce a flatter facial structure, with closer-set eyebrows and eyes. These dietary choices may correlate with a more intense, ambitious personality.

Yin Foods: Comprising most fruits and vegetables, dairy items, bread, pasta, baked goods, and sweet soft cheeses, yin foods are characterized by their sweetness. An overabundance of yin foods may lead to features such as widely spaced eyes or clefts, indicating a more laid-back and open demeanor.

Maintaining equilibrium between these two energies in our diet is crucial for both physical and emotional health. An imbalance—whether excessive yin or yang—can manifest facially, signaling hidden health issues. For instance, a diet overly rich in Yang foods might present signs of stress on the face, while an abundance of Yin foods could result in diminished vitality or resilience.

Modern Lifestyle Influences

Contemporary existence frequently results in an imbalance of our innate energies. Many among us endure overwork, stress, and nutritional imbalance, leading to physical and emotional discrepancies that become evident in our facial features. Indicators of such discrepancies may include skin ailments, fatigue noticeable in the eyes, and early signs of aging.

Though the body possesses resilience in youth, persistently neglecting its signals—such as facial indications, immune system alerts like chronic colds, and disruptions in sleep—can steadily weaken its innate healing capabilities.

To foster good health and embrace aging with grace, it is vital to seek harmony across all life aspects. This encompasses striking a balance between yin and yang foods, managing stress levels, ensuring sufficient rest, promoting both physical exercise and relaxation, and maintaining a spiritual practice along with self-care routines.

Sins inscribe themselves visibly on a person’s face. They can’t be hidden. Occasionally, people speak of secret vices. No such things exist. If a wretched individual possesses a vice, it reveals itself in the lines of their mouth, the droop of their eyelids, and even the shape of their hands ~ Oscar Wilde

Key Facial Features

At its essence, facial reading is a comprehensive practice assessing how the physical, emotional, and spiritual facets of an individual are represented in their facial attributes. When conducting a face reading, I concentrate on particular facial features and their relevance to personality aspects, health, emotions, and even spiritual welfare.

By intuitively evaluating these features, I glean insights into a person’s overall state, including their internal harmony, energy equilibrium, and possible spiritual hurdles. This process offers a profound comprehension of not only health and personality but also the spiritual challenges and strengths that shape an individual’s life path.

Forehead: A wide forehead is often associated with intelligence and creativity, as well as a receptiveness to new ideas and spiritual evolution. Horizontal lines may signify a history of stress or anxiety, possibly representing unprocessed emotions or unresolved spiritual concerns. A tense or furrowed forehead may point to an overactive mind or lack of clarity which affects mental health and spiritual serenity.

Eyes: Ample eyes hint at openness and sensitivity, in addition to a deep link to one’s emotional and spiritual self. Radiant, clear eyes denote a healthy energy flow and emotional health, whereas dull or sunk eyes may reflect emotional fatigue, tension, or spiritual depletion. The state of the pupils can hint at the nervous system’s condition; consistently dilated or constricted pupils may signify chronic stress or emotional or spiritual imbalance.

Eyebrows: Robust, well-defined eyebrows typically signify assertiveness and a solid personal identity with a distinct life purpose, essential for mental and spiritual well-being. Sparse eyebrows may imply sensitivity, indecisiveness, or a lack of spiritual anchoring. Eyebrows that are excessively thin or absent might suggest energy depletion or difficulties in setting boundaries, potentially impacting physical and spiritual harmony.

Nose: The tip of the nose correlates with the heart, reflecting both physical wellness and emotional and spiritual openness. A rounded tip can indicate a generous temperament and an ability for compassion, while a pointed tip may reveal an analytical disposition that occasionally conflicts with emotional and spiritual flow. The bridge of the nose indicates determination; if it appears straight and prominent, it may suggest resilience in facing life’s hurdles, whereas a concave bridge might signify a softer, adaptable nature and possibly a more spiritually inclined character.

Cheeks: Well-rounded cheeks signal vitality and warmth, as well as a strong life force energy crucial for spiritual well-being. High cheekbones can denote ambition but may also imply a spiritually driven individual with strong ties to their higher self. Softer cheekbones reflect empathy and approachability, suggesting someone attuned to the emotional and spiritual needs of others.

Mouth and Lips: Full lips convey generosity and sociability, alongside a rich capacity for expressing love and emotion. Thinner lips may suggest a more reserved disposition but can also imply a person who conserves energy and engages in a more introspective spiritual practice. Upturned corners of the mouth may reflect an inherently positive outlook and cheerful spirit, while downturned corners might indicate a contemplative nature, suggesting an inner life that involves spiritual inquiry or healing.

Jawline and Chin: A firmly defined jawline symbolizes determination and strength, essential not only in character but also in one’s life trajectory and spiritual path. Individuals with well-formed jaws may possess a definitive sense of purpose and resilience to overcome both physical and spiritual challenges. A softer jawline can reflect adaptability, pointing to a more flexible and open spiritual perspective. A prominent chin suggests determination and persistence, critical for personal development and spiritual fortitude. In contrast, a receding chin may signify a more yielding disposition, possibly suggesting a passive stance toward life’s challenges or a more accepting spiritual outlook.

Ears: Ample ears represent receptivity and openness, both to new notions and to intuitive and spiritual insights. Smaller ears indicate a more private or introverted nature that may align with an introspective spiritual journey. The placement of the ears can also offer insights: higher-set ears indicate quick thinkers, often found among those who are spiritually attuned and adept at processing intuitive information swiftly. Conversely, lower-set ears may denote a more patient and methodical approach to life and spiritual endeavors.

Skin Condition: A vibrant skin tone signifies vitality, robust health, and a balanced energy flow, all vital for physical and spiritual wellness. Pale or discolored skin may reflect imbalance or stagnation within the body, often indicative of emotional or spiritual distress. Smooth skin typically aligns with emotional tranquility and inner harmony, portraying a person who maintains equilibrium in their life. Conversely, textured or uneven skin might reflect internal turmoil or disharmony, likely indicating unresolved emotional conflicts or energetic blockages needing attention for holistic well-being.

Exploring the Complex Craft of Facial Reading Throughout Time

Facial reading, frequently referred to as physiognomy, is an age-old practice centered on the analysis of an individual’s facial characteristics to derive understanding about their character, personality traits, and potential future paths. This sophisticated art form has flourished over time, with differing societies and cultures adopting and adapting their own distinct facial reading methods.

The roots of facial reading can be traced back to ancient China, where it was deemed an essential capability for officials and leaders. The Chinese embraced the idea that a person’s facial attributes reflected their inner essence and could offer enlightening insights into their abilities, temperament, and even future prospects. Ancient texts such as the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” and the “Book of Changes” documented this practice.

In ancient Greece, facial reading was similarly held in high esteem, being utilized by renowned philosophers like Aristotle and Hippocrates. They maintained that a person’s appearance—including their facial traits—could divulge information regarding their character, health, and likelihood of success. Greek medical professionals often resorted to facial reading as a diagnostic approach, linking specific facial features to particular ailments or conditions.

During the Renaissance in Europe, the practice of facial reading gained renewed interest. The Italian physician and philosopher Giambattista della Porta extensively examined the link between facial attributes and personality traits. His findings impacted other notable figures of the time, including Leonardo da Vinci, who wove facial analysis into his artistic endeavors.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, facial reading captured considerable attention in Europe, particularly in France. The French physician and anatomist Johann Kaspar Lavater released a detailed study on physiognomy, known as “Essays on Physiognomy.” Lavater posited that facial features signaled an individual’s moral and intellectual qualities. His examination ignited widespread enthusiasm for facial reading, becoming a central topic for intellectuals and creatives alike.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that facial reading has frequently faced skepticism and criticism across history. Detractors argue that it is a pseudoscience, lacking empirical support and depending on subjective interpretations. Regardless, interest in facial reading remains strong, with many continuing to practice and study this art today.

In modernity, facial reading has evolved alongside scientific innovation and technological advancements. For instance, facial recognition software is now employed in a variety of sectors, including security, marketing, and psychology. Such tools analyze facial traits to identify individuals or gauge emotional states, offering valuable insights for academic and practical applications.

Whether universally embraced as a dependable method for deciphering character or predicting future outcomes, facial reading undeniably remains an intriguing aspect of human history and cultural evolution. It mirrors our intrinsic curiosity about ourselves and others and our quest to unveil hidden truths through observation and interpretation.

Regardless of one’s stance on the validity of facial reading, it is undeniable that the practice has made a lasting impact on diverse civilizations throughout history. It stands as a testament to our perpetual pursuit of self-discovery and understanding, highlighting the intricate and multifaceted nature of human existence. Continue reading →

I have yet to encounter a person with a spiritual orientation who isn’t fond of the Tarot, or at least mildly curious about this iconic set of cards.

The Tarot is arguably the most esteemed and extensively utilized divination instrument across the globe, celebrated for its profound symbolism and the wealth of understanding it provides. As an ancient esoteric practice that goes back several centuries, the Tarot has transformed into a multifaceted, intricate system of divination employed by individuals from various backgrounds to delve into the enigmas of the mind, spirit, and the future.

In contrast to various other divination methods that may necessitate specialized expertise or instruments, the Tarot is approachable for both novices and experienced users, presenting a distinctive blend of artistry, intuition, mysticism, and narrative. Its adaptability allows it to tackle a broad spectrum of inquiries, ranging from personal and spiritual dilemmas to wider societal matters, making it a preferred source for individuals pursuing guidance, clarity, and self-exploration in an ever-evolving environment.

Each of the 78 cards in a Tarot deck is brimming with symbolic imagery and archetypal meanings that can be interpreted on several levels, ranging from the profoundly psychological to the spiritual and mystical. This rich symbolism enables diviners to investigate personal challenges, spiritual advancement, and the enigmas of existence.

Unlike other divination tools that might depend on more rigid frameworks, Tarot provides a flexible structure that aligns with the reader’s intuition, personal beliefs, and level of psychic talent, making it welcoming to enthusiasts of varied backgrounds and spiritual traditions.

The accessibility and progression of Tarot have played a significant role in its widespread acceptance. Nowadays, there is an abundance of Tarot decks available, each showcasing unique themes, artwork, and interpretations that attract a varied audience. From the classic Rider-Waite deck to contemporary, culturally inclusive interpretations, there’s a deck suited for nearly every preference and concept. Current Tarot features a myriad of unconventional themes that resonate with modern interests and subcultures.

The Tarot aids you in navigating whatever lies ahead in the most advantageous manner ~ Mary K. Greer

These decks exemplify how Tarot can be personalized to resonate with diverse interests, making the practice more engaging and tailored for a contemporary audience. A notable example is the Cat Tarot, where every card includes whimsical and animated illustrations of cats that embody the meanings of traditional Tarot archetypes. This deck introduces a playful and cheerful approach to readings, appealing to feline enthusiasts who seek a familiar and enjoyable way to interact with the Tarot.

Another illustration is the Tarot of the Silicon Dawn, offering a more avant-garde interpretation, combining futuristic, cyberpunk aesthetics with traditional Tarot symbolism. This deck includes non-conventional cards and integrates modern themes of technology, science fiction, and postmodern philosophy, appealing to those captivated by the blend of Tarot and the contemporary digital landscape.

Moreover, the advent of digital technology has rendered Tarot more accessible than ever, with online readings, applications, and communities linking aficionados across the globe. This versatility and relevance to today’s spiritual and psychological requirements guarantee that Tarot will persist as a favored tool for divination and personal evolution.

Narrative & Self-Exploration

Another factor contributing to Tarot’s lasting popularity is its capacity for storytelling and self-exploration. Tarot readings usually involve crafting a narrative through the arrangement of the cards, forming a story that mirrors the querent’s current circumstances, obstacles, and potential future directions.

This narrative element transforms Tarot into not just a divination tool, but also a means for examining one’s internal landscape, fostering self-awareness and introspection. In an increasingly intricate world, individuals are searching for tools to help them make sense of their experiences, and Tarot provides a structured yet adaptable way to delve into the self and navigate life’s unpredictability.

Historically, Tarot tends to gain traction during periods of tremendous transformation on Earth. During times of uncertainty, turmoil, and societal transition, many individuals turn to the Tarot for clarity and guidance when the future appears uncertain. During such eras, people often seek meaning and understanding beyond society’s conventional explanations.

For instance, during the 1960s, amid the hippie movement and the emergence of American counterculture, there was a noticeable increase in tarot deck purchases. Similarly, at the dawn of the new millennium, there was also a striking rise in tarot deck sales, with individuals from various backgrounds acquiring them. It is during these transformative periods that humanity experiences significant growth, new perspectives, and shifts that accelerate our evolution.

Tarot delivers a symbolic language through which people can navigate their emotions, fears, and aspirations, offering a structured yet instinctive method for managing change. The cards inspire self-reflection and provide a basis for contemplating life’s intricacies, helping individuals discover inner resilience and direction. Additionally, Tarot readings can offer solace by suggesting possible outcomes or unveiling hidden influences, granting individuals a heightened sense of agency and perspective in circumstances where they might otherwise feel powerless.

Tarot continually whispers to you. Tarot intertwines truth, tales, mysteries, and narratives. All that’s needed is to pause and listen ~ Sasha Graham

Flexibility & Results

Another appealing aspect of the Tarot is its diverse usability. You can turn to the cards for deeper insights into nearly any topic utilizing a variety of spreads and reading styles. There are numerous card layouts that yield deeper and wider meanings depending on where the card falls within the arrangement. For instance, the classic Celtic Cross remains one of my favorite spreads as it provides a comprehensive overview of the sitter’s life encompassing multiple themes. Yet, the straightforward three or five card spread can effectively concentrate on answers to a specific inquiry while revealing hidden influences, advice, and potential future scenarios.

The interpretation of cards located in the “outcome” position within a spread can significantly help in honing our energy and intentions to reach our desired objectives. Outcomes aren’t predetermined. We are presented with various choices in life, and Tarot can assist us in connecting with aspects of ourselves that may be obscured by the views of others while unblocking the pathways that have led us away from our intuition and spiritual insight.

The outcome card thus unveils the unknown and assists us in recognizing our current path and what is likely to happen if we remain on that trajectory. It’s our responsibility to determine if it aligns with our desires. Should the outcome card be unsatisfactory, I recommend drawing a ‘clarity’ card to gain guidance on altering that result.

The Universe will consistently guide us towards what serves our highest good. The lesson is to heed and follow the guidance that the cards provide. This necessitates selecting a competent reader. Choose a tarot reader with whom you feel at ease and capable of communicating openly.

The manner in which some readers interpret the cards is also noteworthy. In certain ancient texts and languages, words were traditionally read from right to left. However, there are Tarot readers who prefer interpreting the cards in this manner as well.

There’s no definitive right or wrong approach to reading the Tarot, and while there are general meanings attributed to cards, trust your instincts when you observe them. Pay attention to the colors. Are they predominantly solar or lunar? Does an object catch your attention? Your interpretation is paramount and will start forming your distinctive psychic lexicon for each card.

Framework & Symbolism

A conventional Tarot deck comprises 78 cards. The initial 22 cards are known as the Major Arcana. Arcana is derived from Latin, signifying “hidden knowledge” or “sacred information.” These first 22 cards are deemed more crucial in a reading, symbolizing the 5th element, which is Spirit.

The remaining four suits are affiliated with the other four elements, generally referred to as the Minor Arcana, which constitute the remaining 56 cards in the deck. The four suits in traditional decks are Swords (Air), Wands (Fire), Cups (Water), and Pentacles (Earth). The tools and their names can differ from deck to deck. For instance, wands can be known as batons or staffs, cups may appear as goblets, and I’ve seen pentacles depicted as discs, shields, or coins. Some decks simply use the name of the element itself, like “Two of Fire” for the Two of Wands.

Numerous books have been authored about Tarot. Some of the most insightful are by writer and educator Mary K. Greer. It’s beneficial to have a foundational understanding of possible card meanings and their symbology. Symbology works in tandem with our Spirit Guides, allowing us to cultivate our own psychic dictionary of symbols as we develop a new language for communicating with Spirit through the Tarot.

The symbols present on the cards are believed to open pathways to the divine. There is an abundance of understanding about the brain and the mind that remains undiscovered by science. The intuitive and subconscious minds are accessed through the imagery on the cards. A picture holds immense value. Therefore, by learning Tarot, you are essentially awakening dormant areas of the mind and connecting with a higher intelligence.

Bear in mind that Tarot is a significant and sacred arcanum – its misuse is a desecration internally and a folly externally. It serves purposes far beyond determining when the tall dark man will cross paths with the fair rich widow ~ Jack Parsons

Choice & Maintenance

To begin, you’ll want to select a deck that is straightforward to learn, such as the 1909 Rider-Waite-Smith deck. Rider was the initial London publisher, Arthur Edward Waite created the deck, and Pamela Coleman Smith, known as “Pixie,” was the artist. The Rider-Waite-Smith deck is the most commonly used deck globally. Many decks created later have replicated the artwork, making it an excellent introductory deck. Once you’re comfortable, you can explore other decks that resonate with you. This is an intuitive journey; try not to overanalyze it. Sometimes someone will even gift you a deck that holds special significance!

There are diverse options for storing your deck, along with various tarot carrying cases. If you intend to take your deck with you, options such as drawstring and Velcro covers available in many patterns and sizes await. Some believe that keeping your deck wrapped in black silk can preserve its magical energies, while others prefer storing it in its original box. How you choose to store your deck is completely personal.

When purchasing a deck, I enjoy consecrating it and harmonizing it with my energy. I do this by applying a small amount of patchouli or frankincense oil to my hands. Afterwards, I spread the cards out on the floor and gently press my hands over the cards, imbuing them with the oils and a blessing.

I request that the cards align in perfect harmony with me and serve the highest good of anyone I read for. I also ask for a protective seal and for the cards to end up only in the hands of those who will use them with good intentions and in the spirit of holy truth.

After aligning the cards with my energy, consecrating and blessing them, I place the deck against my heart and lightly tap its top three times to clear and awaken the cards. After that, I am ready to commence!

Tarot can be utilized not only to gather clarity and insight into any situation but also as a reflective tool for spiritual growth. There’s a saying that the Tarot has been left to us as a guide to enlightenment. I have been reading the cards for over 25 years and have discovered that one can never exhaust the depth of Tarot, as it continues to evolve alongside you.

Comprehending the Timeless Charm of Tarot Divination

Tarot divination, the art of employing a deck of cards to glean insights into the past, present, and future, has enchanted individuals for centuries. Despite its mysterious roots and frequently misconstrued reputation, tarot divination remains an immensely attractive option for those seeking direction, self-exploration, and spiritual connection. In this article, we will delve into the timeless intrigue of tarot divination and highlight its ongoing relevance as a tool for personal growth and exploration.

Historical Foundations and Symbolism

The inception of tarot divination can be traced back to the 15th century in Europe, where the cards were originally utilized for gaming. Nonetheless, it wasn’t until the 18th century that the tarot deck became linked with divination and esoteric practices. The deck is made up of 78 cards, categorized into two main groups: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.

The Major Arcana, comprising 22 cards, symbolizes significant life events, archetypes, and spiritual teachings. Every card is infused with symbolism, showcasing various figures, animals, and objects that convey profound meaning. The Minor Arcana, akin to a regular deck of playing cards, contains four suits: Cups, Pentacles, Swords, and Wands. These cards illustrate more commonplace elements of life, such as emotions, financial matters, intellect, and creativity.

The lasting charm of tarot divination resides in the intricate symbolism of the cards. Each card narrates a story, and the reader interprets the meanings of the cards based on their positioning in a spread and their relations to each other. This process allows individuals to access their intuition and derive insights concerning their lives, relationships, and personal development.

Self-Discovery and Personal Advancement

One of the primary reasons tarot divination continues to entice individuals is its potential to promote self-exploration and personal growth. Tarot readings offer a unique opportunity for individuals to probe into their subconscious thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. By reflecting on the symbolism and messages found within the cards, individuals can attain a profound understanding of themselves and their circumstances.

Tarot divination motivates individuals to pose significant questions and face their fears, hopes, and ambitions. It acts as a mirror, reflecting the concealed aspects of one’s psyche, facilitating introspection and self-discovery. Through this experience, individuals can achieve clarity, make enlightened choices, and navigate life’s difficulties with increased confidence.

Spiritual Connection and Intuition

Tarot divination also attracts those in search of a deeper spiritual bond. Many practitioners perceive that the cards act as a medium for divine counsel or heightened wisdom. Whether one follows a specific deity, interprets the cosmos, or simply trusts in intuition, tarot divination can foster a sense of connection to something transcendent.

The act of shuffling and selecting cards from the deck is regarded as a sacred routine, inviting spiritual energies to assist the reading. Tarot readers often cultivate their unique bond with the cards, developing a cooperative relationship that enhances their intuitive capacities. This connection enables the reader to instinctively interpret the cards’ messages in a manner that resonates with the seeker.

Community and Connection

Another element that enriches the enduring allure of tarot divination is the sense of community and camaraderie it cultivates. Tarot aficionados frequently unite in groups, online spaces, or workshops to exchange experiences, insights, and knowledge. This communal environment fosters support, allowing individuals to learn from one another, share readings, and deepen their grasp of the cards.

Besides, tarot divination can be a beneficial tool offering guidance and support during challenging moments. Seekers often consult tarot readings for comfort, assurance, and advice when confronted with tough decisions or life transitions. The cards provide a non-evaluative atmosphere for individuals to voice their concerns and receive assistance from a compassionate and objective source.

In summary, the persistent allure of tarot divination stems from its capacity to facilitate self-exploration, personal development, spiritual connection, and community support. The rich symbolism of the cards, combined with the reader’s intuition, allows individuals to glean insights into their lives and make informed decisions. Whether utilized for self-examination or seeking guidance, tarot divination continues to fascinate and inspire individuals on their path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Continue reading →

Color saturates our lives, significantly influencing our living spaces, workplaces, our meals, and attire.

In every aspect of our existence, color has a powerful impact, affecting our feelings, actions, and spiritual health.

In Kundalini Yoga, for instance, instructors typically don white garments made from natural materials, complemented by a white head scarf. This tradition serves more than just practical or visual purposes.

As the color white reflects sunlight while black absorbs it, white similarly repels negative energies, whereas black draws and retains them.

This tradition thus fulfills a dual function: it represents the purity and spiritual insight that the instructor embodies, while also shielding the instructor from negative energies potentially arising from students.

Kundalini Yoga attracts a diverse student base, ranging from those with advanced spiritual maturity to individuals dealing with emotional volatility. The white clothing functions as a barrier against negative energies that might be directed or “dumped” towards the teacher.

Specifically, the head covering safeguards the seventh chakra, found at the crown of the head. This chakra serves as our ‘spiritual umbilical cord’ linking us to God, Source, Spirit, or the Divine, making its protection vital.

It is also noteworthy that although black can be harmful in spiritual contexts due to its inclination to absorb negativity, it can be advantageous in physical activity. Dressing in black while exercising helps ground the body, instilling a sense of stability and concentration. This dual nature underscores the intricate symbolism of color and its diverse implications on our physical and spiritual conditions.

I think the names of colors linger at the threshold, where language falters and where it shines at its apex ~ A.S. Byatt

Chakra Colors In Everyday Speech

Did you realize that the energy frequencies of various chakra colors permeate our daily language? These metaphysical metaphors not only enrich our expression, but also provide glimpses into the deeper meanings and energetic ties of colors in our lives. Here are some of my preferred examples:

Root Chakra Red: “Seeing red” – This idiom conveys extreme rage or fury. The first, or root chakra, embodies red and signifies primal human aspects, including anger and physicality.

Sacral Chakra Orange: “Fired up” – This phrase implies enthusiasm, excitement, and high energy, consistent with the second chakra’s connections to creativity, passion, and emotional expression.

Solar Plexus Chakra Yellow: “Yellow-bellied” – Linked with cowardice or fragility, yellow represents the third chakra, which is associated with strength, determination, willpower, and drive.

Heart Chakra Green: “Green-eyed monster” – Representing jealousy and envy, green is tied to the lower fourth chakra, which regulates our love-related emotions and sense of balance.

Heart Chakra Pink: “Rose-colored glasses” – Someone who has a naively optimistic view of life. Pink, another color representing the higher fourth chakra, embodies love, joy, and compassion.

Throat Chakra Blue: “Feeling blue” – This idiom reflects sadness and unhappiness. Blue is associated with the fifth chakra, situated in the throat, which pertains to self-expression and honest communication. When we feel unable to express ourselves or find our thoughts and feelings stifled, it leads us to feel “‘blue.’”

Third Eye Chakra Indigo: “Deep as indigo” – This phrase denotes profound depth and enigma, aligning with the indigo hue’s association with the third eye chakra, the center of intuition, wisdom, and internal knowledge. Indigo embodies profound understanding and insight.

Crown Chakra Purple: “Born in the Purple” – This expression refers to an individual born into a royal or wealthy lineage, suggesting a life of luxury and significance. Purple signifies the seventh chakra, our energetic ‘crown’ connecting us to the divine and spiritual purity, similar to the elevated nature implied by being “born in the purple.”

Another striking example is the red, white, and blue of the American flag, symbolizing bravery (red), spiritual expression freedom (white), and communicative expression freedom (blue). These colors correspond to the first, seventh, and fifth chakras, showcasing the profound symbolic connections in cultural icons globally.

Similarly, traffic lights use red, yellow, and green to convey crucial notifications: red for stop (root chakra, fear and survival), yellow for caution (third chakra, gut instinct), and green for go (fourth chakra, peace and security). This association with the chakras underlines our intuitive responses to color signals in our surroundings.

Fast food establishments frequently utilize red, orange, and yellow in their decor. These colors, linked to the lower chakras, energize and stimulate appetite, prompting individuals to eat rapidly and more. The lower chakras relate to basic, physical, and masculine energies, invigorating in nature. In contrast, colors associated with the upper chakras – green, blue, purple, and white – are tranquil and soothing, fostering feelings of peace and relaxation.

All other colors are mere colors, but purple appears to possess a soul — when you gaze at it, it gazes back at you ~ Uniek Swain

Colors In Religion & Spirituality

Colors also carry profound symbolic meanings across numerous religious and spiritual practices, enriching rituals and enhancing adherents’ spiritual experiences. Here are five examples of color symbolism from different religious and spiritual frameworks:

Red in Hinduism: In Hinduism, red is an impactful color symbolizing purity, sensuality, and the divine feminine (Shakti). It frequently appears in religious events and festivals, like weddings and Durga Puja. Brides traditionally wear red saris, and red powder (kumkum) is applied to the forehead in various rituals, symbolizing auspiciousness and energy.

White in Buddhism: In Buddhism, white signifies purity, wisdom, and enlightenment. It is often linked with the Buddha and various deities like Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, often depicted in white. Monks in some traditions don white robes during certain ceremonies, and white is used in funeral rites to represent the purity of the departed soul.

Green in Islam: Green holds great significance in Islam, symbolizing paradise, fertility, and life. The Quran mentions lush, green gardens in paradise, and green appears frequently in Islamic art and architecture. The dome of the Prophet Muhammad’s mosque in Medina is famously green and is also associated with the Prophet himself.

Blue in Judaism: In Judaism, blue symbolizes divinity, the heavens, and spirituality. The tallit (prayer shawl) often features blue stripes, and the tzitzit (fringes) contain a blue thread, known as tekhelet, as commanded in the Torah. Blue is also seen in the Star of David and is utilized during Hanukkah celebrations to symbolize divine protection and connection to God.

Purple in Christianity: Purple represents penance, humility, and royalty in Christianity. It is predominantly employed during the liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent. During these times, clergy wear purple vestments, and purple adorns church decorations, symbolizing a period of preparation and reflection. The color also signifies the royalty of Jesus Christ, acknowledging Him as the King of Kings. The use of purple encapsulates both the seriousness of repentance and the grandeur of Christ’s divine essence.

It’s crucial to recognize that color symbolism differs among religions and cultures. For instance, although red traditionally signifies purity and auspiciousness in Hinduism, it may bear negative implications in other contexts.

For example, in Taoist tradition, red is associated with positive attributes like good fortune and prosperity, yet it can also represent excessive or uncontrolled energy. Taoism emphasizes balance and harmony; thus, red, when employed excessively or inappropriately, may symbolize overactivity or aggression, disrupting the natural balance and flow of energy (chi). This nuanced perspective reflects the broader Taoist view that every element, including color, possesses both positive and negative potentials depending on its context and usage.

Grasping the significant influence of colors on our lives enables us to channel their power for our advantage. By consciously choosing the colors surrounding us, we can develop spaces and experiences fostering our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Understanding the Significance and Role of Colors in Spirituality

Colors have consistently been essential in human culture and spirituality. They can evoke feelings, influence our moods, and even affect our spiritual health. Within various spiritual traditions and belief systems, colors are given particular meanings and symbolism, deepening our comprehension of ourselves and our surrounding world. In this article, we will delve into the significance and role of colors in spirituality.

Red, symbolizing passion and energy, is frequently linked to vitality and strength. In numerous spiritual practices, red is thought to embody life force energy, also referred to as chi or prana. It’s seen as a potent color that can help spur courage, motivation, and determination. Red is often incorporated in meditations and rituals to stimulate and activate the root chakra, associated with grounding and survival instincts.

Orange, a vibrant and warm color, is commonly linked with creativity, enthusiasm, and joy. It’s thought to activate the sacral chakra, which governs emotions, sexuality, and relationships. Orange is often utilized in spiritual practices to boost creativity, self-confidence, and foster a sensation of abundance.

Yellow, associated with sunshine and happiness, signifies intellect, clarity, and optimism. It’s believed to stimulate the solar plexus chakra, linked to personal power and self-esteem. Yellow is frequently utilized in spiritual practices to enhance mental clarity, improve decision-making, and endorse a positive life outlook.

Green, the hue of nature and healing, is associated with balance, harmony, and growth. It’s presumed to activate the heart chakra, which governs our ability to love and connect with others. Green plays a role in spiritual practices to promote emotional healing, empathy, and a strong bond with nature.

Blue, representing the sky and ocean, conveys calmness, tranquility, and communication. It’s thought to activate the throat chakra, which governs our ability to express and communicate our truth. Blue is often utilized in spiritual practices to enhance clear communication, intuition, and deep relaxation.

Purple, a color linked to spirituality and mysticism, relates to wisdom, spirituality, and higher consciousness. It’s considered to stimulate the third eye chakra, which oversees our intuition and spiritual insight. Purple is often present in spiritual practices to bolster psychic abilities, deepen meditation, and forge connections with the divine.

White, representing purity and light, denotes clarity, spirituality, and transcendence. It is frequently used in spiritual practices to symbolize purification, healing, and spiritual awakening. White signifies the pinnacle of consciousness and is typically linked with divine entities and spiritual guides.

Understanding colors’ significance and importance in spirituality can empower us to wield their energy and symbolism to enhance our spiritual journeys. By incorporating specific colors into our meditations, rituals, and daily practices, we align ourselves with the qualities and energies each color represents.

It’s vital to acknowledge that personal interpretations of colors may vary considerably across spiritual beliefs and cultures. Thus, it’s essential to investigate and comprehend the specific meanings and symbolism each color carries within your spiritual practice or belief system.

In summary, colors hold immense significance in spirituality, influencing our emotions, energy levels, and spiritual well-being. By recognizing the meanings and symbolism tied to different colors, we can leverage their power to enrich our spiritual journeys, foster healing, and connect with the divine. So, the next time you encounter a specific color, take a moment to consider its spiritual meaning and how it may be guiding your path. Continue reading →

All beings possess both a tangible form and an intangible form known as the metaphysical body. This energetic manifestation, often referred to as the aura or light body, originates from and envelops the physical body.

The aura is a subtle energy field made up of luminous colored layers of energy that radiate from a few inches to a few feet around us.

It is referred to by various terms in diverse spiritual and esoteric practices, such as psychic atmosphere, biofield, odic force, or etheric body.

Our aura reflects our health, emotions and mental state. Its energetic colors change according to our mood or well-being. Some traditions describe the auric layers with specific meanings, while others focus more on the different colors and their interpretations.

The aura consists of a form of energy called prana, chi, or qi, which is also known as life force energy. This energy moves within the body through pathways or channels that align with the energy meridian system in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the chakra system in Hindu, Buddhist, and Yogic practices.

The energy surrounding a person, known as the aura, is made up of various layers or fields. Each layer holds its own traits and importance, encompassing aspects like physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects. Nevertheless, the interpretation of the number and composition of these layers varies across different traditions.

The connection between the aura and color is one of its most well-known features. The colors of the aura vary depending on an individual’s thoughts, emotions, physical well-being, and spiritual condition. Each color is linked to specific qualities or elements of awareness. For instance, blue can indicate tranquility and lucidity, whereas red may signify intense emotions or passion.

The aura holds significance in assessing an individual’s holistic health and wellness. Disruptions or disparities in our auric energy may present as challenges in the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual realms. Methods such as purifying, aligning, and mending the aura can be employed to reintroduce unity and vigor to our mind, body, and spirit.

While the aura is generally invisible to the untrained eye and not easily observable by conventional means, one can learn to perceive and interpret it through aura reading to identify the colors, patterns and qualities of someone’s aura.

Aura reading or auric scanning is very useful for a number of reasons. It can provide insight into your emotional state, energy levels, physical health and general well-being.

Aura reading is a versatile tool that facilitates introspection and personal advancement. Many individuals find it valuable for decision-making, as it uncovers concealed aspects or motivations related to a given situation. Moreover, aura reading serves as a potent method for spiritual progress, karmic healing, and soul expansion.

I am confident that anyone has the potential to acquire the ability to perceive auras. This capability can be cultivated through consistent practice and unwavering commitment, similar to acquiring any other skill. While certain individuals may possess a higher level of natural intuition towards perceiving subtle energies or an inherent psychic talent for visualizing auric energies, reading auras can be learned by anyone willing to invest time and dedication.

Guidelines For Aura Reading

To enhance your skill in aura reading, you must cultivate your capacity to observe and understand delicate energies. Below are a few basic guidelines to help you commence your practice:

Awareness: Begin by developing your awareness of and sensitivity to subtle energies. The first step is to quiet your mind. This includes practices such as meditation, mindfulness, breath work or energy awareness exercises. Pay attention to your own energy field and the sensations you experience when interacting with others.

Education: Familiarise yourself with the concept of auras, including different theories, interpretations and descriptions of the colors, layers and meanings of the aura. There are many books, online resources and courses on the subject that can provide valuable insight and guidance.

Visualisation: Visualisation is a key skill in aura reading. Close your eyes and imagine a person standing in front of you. Visualise their energy field extending from several centimetres to several metres outwards from their body. Experiment with visualising different colors, textures and patterns in their aura.

Trust your intuition and follow your inner guidance while practicing aura reading. Notice any impressions, feelings, or insights that arise as you focus on a person’s energy field. It is not important to be correct or incorrect; the key is to stay open and receptive to whatever you perceive.

Start honing your aura reading skills by beginning with yourself. Look into a mirror or observe your hands and feet. As you become more comfortable, move on to practicing with friends, family, and other willing participants. Request them to stand or sit in front of you while you concentrate on their energy field. You can even try practicing on your plants or a pet, as long as they remain still for a sufficient amount of time.

Feedback: Share your aura reading experiences with others and ask for feedback on your observations. This can help you validate your perceptions and gain insights from different perspectives. Be open to constructive criticism and use it as an opportunity for growth and learning.

Journaling: Keep a diary or record of your aura reading experiences. Write down any colors, sensations, impressions or insights you receive during your practice sessions. Over time, you may begin to notice patterns or correlations between certain colors or qualities and people’s states of being.

Remember that aura reading is a highly subjective and personal practice, and there’s no one “right” way to do it. Trust your own abilities and intuition, and approach the practice with openness, curiosity and respect. Like any skill, aura reading takes time to master. Stay curious, keep exploring different techniques and approaches, and remain open to expanding your understanding of the aura and subtle energies.

How To Do Basic Aura Reading

A room that is brightly illuminated and has a white backdrop is most suitable for beginners. Let your gaze traverse the subject gradually, causing a slight blurring effect. The initial thing you may notice is the internal aura, which typically manifests as a faint outline encircling the head and shoulders.

Once you have mastered the initial stage, start honing your ability to perceive a broader spectrum. Gradually, you will be able to discern hues that extend beyond the primary white circles. At the beginning, these shades might appear subtle, but fret not.

It is normal to observe varying colors in different areas of your body, which correspond to different chakras or levels of consciousness. It is possible for a person or animal to possess multiple colors within their unique aura.

Attempt to approach your aura reading with a neutral perspective. Since you constantly perceive your own aura, emotions like anger, depression, or sadness will influence your interpretation. A more harmonious mental state will result in a more accurate reading.

As a beginner, it might require some time for you to perceive darker colors like blue or purple. It is important to stay patient and continue practicing without getting discouraged. Additionally, avoid allowing the opinions of others to greatly affect you. Every individual is unique, and so are their auras.

If you are looking to have your aura read but do not want to learn how to do it yourself, seek out a skilled and trusted reader in your vicinity. Additionally, a professional reader might be open to assisting you in honing your own aura reading abilities.

A Simplified Guide to Becoming Proficient in Aura Reading

Have you ever been curious about the energy that surrounds people? Have you ever felt a certain vibe or aura when meeting someone for the first time? Aura reading is an ancient practice that allows individuals to tap into the energy fields surrounding living beings. It can provide valuable insights into a person’s emotional, mental, and spiritual state. If you’re interested in aura reading and want to learn how to excel in this art, this simplified guide will help you get started.

Understanding Auras:
Before diving into the art of aura reading, it’s crucial to comprehend what an aura is. Auras are subtle energy fields that surround living beings, including humans, animals, and plants. They are believed to be made up of electromagnetic energy and can extend several feet from the body. Auras are often described as colorful, luminous, or transparent. Each color represents different aspects of a person’s personality, emotions, and overall well-being.

Preparing for Aura Reading:
To embark on your aura reading journey, it’s important to create a calm and focused environment. Find a peaceful space where you won’t be interrupted. Adjust the lighting to create a soothing atmosphere, either by dimming the lights or using candlelight. Take a few deep breaths to relax your mind and body. It’s also helpful to cleanse your own energy by meditating or practicing deep breathing exercises before attempting to read someone’s aura.

Observing Auras:
To read someone’s aura, it is crucial to observe their energy field. Begin by focusing on the person’s body, particularly their head and shoulders. Soften your gaze and look beyond their physical form. You may notice a subtle glow or haze surrounding them. Pay attention to any colors, shapes, or movements you perceive. It’s important to trust your intuition and not overanalyze what you see.

Interpreting Aura Colors:
Once you start perceiving colors in someone’s aura, it’s time to interpret their meaning. Here are some common aura colors and their associated characteristics:

1. Red: Indicates passion, energy, and strong determination. It may also suggest anger or stress if it appears intense or unclear.

2. Orange: Represents creativity, enthusiasm, and vitality. An orange aura is often present in charismatic individuals.

3. Yellow: Signifies intelligence, optimism, and a curious nature. People with a yellow aura often possess analytical and logical thinking skills.

4. Green: Symbolizes balance, growth, and healing. Individuals with a green aura are often nurturing and compassionate.

5. Blue: Reflects calmness, communication, and spiritual awareness. A blue aura is commonly found in those who are intuitive and empathetic.

6. Purple: Indicates spirituality, intuition, and a higher level of consciousness. People with a purple aura often have psychic abilities or a strong connection to the spiritual realm.

7. White: Represents purity, clarity, and a divine connection. A white aura suggests a highly evolved soul or a person on a spiritual journey.

Remember that these interpretations are general guidelines, and each person’s aura is unique. It’s important to consider the overall context and other factors before jumping to conclusions.

Developing Your Skills:
Like any skill, becoming proficient in aura reading requires practice and patience. Start by practicing on yourself or close friends and family members whose energy you are familiar with. Take notes of your observations and compare them with the person’s current emotional or mental state. Over time, you will become more attuned to accurately reading auras.

Approach aura reading with an open mind and heart. Remember that it is a tool for understanding and connecting with others on a deeper level, rather than a means of judging or manipulating. Respect the privacy and boundaries of others when practicing aura reading.

In conclusion, becoming proficient in the art of aura reading can be an intriguing journey of self-discovery and understanding others. By learning to observe and interpret the subtle energy fields surrounding individuals, you can gain valuable insights into their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. With practice and an open mind, you can unlock the hidden world of auras and enhance your ability to connect with others on a profound level. Continue reading →
