Since the dawn of the universe, energy has existed. Energy can never be created or destroyed—so the energy that exists even now—within you—has been in existence since before the Bang Bang. The energy that exists now will be here when our universe ends and a new era—a new universe—begins. Energy is the singular thing that …

The post Everything You Need to Know About the Meaning Of a Blue Aura and Light Blue Personality Traits appeared first on Keen Articles.

I have just finished the initial month of practice in a year-long advanced psychic development course that I am presently enrolled in. The practical assessments were quite demanding, even for a seasoned psychic, but I am pleased to report that it went positively overall.

One of the tests required us to do a psychic reading for a stranger via video call, with the goal of perceiving details about the person at different stages of their life. In other words, we had to sense significant details about them when they were children, teenagers, in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and so on.

Before my test reading, I prepared by mentally focusing on the lady I was to read for and I did this while walking my dogs. I have found over the years that this daily time outdoors with my beloved pets is great time to receive psychic information.

It also helped that we were sent a photo of our randomly assigned subjects in advance, so I could also visualize her in my mind’s eye, which makes the process easier.

When I contacted her on FaceTime for the reading, I had already documented significant details about her early years. Specifically, I observed that she had a reasonably joyful childhood and even envisioned her making wishes by blowing on daisies.

Laughter is wine for the soul – laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness – the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living ~ Sean O’Casey

But I was also shown some unusual things, such as how she once had an infection of a hair follicle on her arm, and how her mother decided not to seek medical help, but simply treated the boil herself. As funny as this seemed to me, I have learned through trial and error over the years to always trust the information I receive.

When I recounted what I had witnessed, she burst into laughter and responded in her Australian accent, “You could definitely classify it as a natural remedy! My mother simply used a large needle and it was effective. After thorough sterilization, the problem disappeared.”

The rest of the reading was a breeze after that. It made me realize once again that as much as I have to energetically and spiritually put myself in the right state of mind to do a good reading, the process becomes even easier when I raise my vibration with some light-hearted humor. Emotions are a by-product of our thinking, and if I had spent time worrying about how the test reading would go, the energy would have been much heavier and denser.

Spirit loves humor. I know this because loved ones often come through in mediumship readings by sharing a funny incident that happened before they died, or one of their favorite jokes. They may even reveal how they play pranks on their family from the other side, such as hiding or moving objects, or teasing the family cat or dog.

Raising one’s vibration is beneficial not only for psychic readings, but also for various other activities and endeavors in life. Prior to giving a speech, taking an exam, engaging in a game, or going on a date, we all tend to perform better when our vibration is raised.

There are numerous techniques available to increase our vibrational energy, including redirecting our attention towards positivity and appreciation, participating in activities like meditation, prayer, chanting, or mindfulness, communing with the natural world, affirming positive beliefs, enjoying uplifting music with binaural beats, incorporating energy cleansing and grounding practices, establishing intentions, and more.

However, there is nothing quite as powerful as a dash of humor and laughter!

Fun Ways To Raise Your Vibration

Genuine, heartfelt laughter is a powerful tool for increasing positivity and raising our vibration. Here are some effective ways to incorporate humor and fun into your life to raise your vibration and improve your performance in challenging tasks:

Watch Comedy Shows or Stand-Up: Make time to watch comedy specials, sitcoms, or funny movies that resonate with your sense of humor. Comedy-induced laughter releases endorphins (feel-good hormones) and instantly improves your mood.

Share jokes and funny stories: Connect with friends, family, or colleagues by sharing jokes and funny stories. Laughter is contagious, and sharing humor with others can create positive social interactions and strengthen relationships.

Go to comedy events: Participate in live comedy performances or events in your local area. The energetic ambiance and collective laughter from a live audience can be greatly inspiring.

Read funny books or comics: Explore funny books, comics, or online content that makes you laugh. Light-hearted reading can provide a welcome break and lift your spirits.

Engage in laughter yoga: Join laughter yoga sessions or classes where laughter exercises are combined with deep breathing techniques. This practice can aid in relieving tension and fostering a feeling of happiness.

Embrace a sense of playfulness: Embody a lighthearted mindset in your everyday tasks. Give yourself permission to be spontaneous, enjoy moments of fun, and discover amusement in ordinary circumstances.

Surround yourself with fun people: Spend time with people who have positive and playful attitudes. Playfulness is contagious, and being around playful people can inspire more laughter and lightheartedness.

Create humorous moments: Look for ways to inject humor into your day. Play harmless pranks (with permission), use funny props, or come up with witty comebacks in conversation.

Developing a sense of humor can be beneficial while facing challenges. It acts as a coping mechanism during tough times, allowing one to find humor in difficult situations and, in turn, increases resilience and a positive perspective.

Learn to find humor in your own mistakes and flaws. Adopting self-deprecating humor can help you develop humility and decrease self-criticism.

Engage with entertaining online material: Stay connected with social media accounts or channels that regularly share hilarious memes, videos, or content. Interact with positive and amusing material that brightens your mood.

Practice lightness and letting go: Cultivate a sense of lightness by not taking yourself too seriously. Let go of perfectionism and embrace the imperfections and quirks that make life funny.

Integrate these techniques into your everyday routine in order to witness the profound impacts that humor and laughter can have on your overall mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Last but not least. Never underestimate the power of your thoughts When we think, we generate a myriad of thoughts. These very thoughts create a vibrational frequency within us that translates into emotions. And so our own unique vibrational frequency will vary at different times depending on the thoughts we have generated.

We have the ability to emit either a negative or positive frequency (commonly referred to as a vibe) towards the external world. Our physical bodies respond vigorously to our thoughts. For instance, anxious thoughts can lead to muscle tension and increased heart rate, while embarrassment can cause blushing.

Therefore, it is logical that to draw the individual, individuals, or situations we long for into our lives, we should prioritize being aware of our thoughts. If our thoughts lean towards negativity, we should make an effort to transform them into positive, affectionate, innovative, and joyful thoughts whenever feasible.

Writing this has made me even more aware of how, as a psychic counselor, I can help guide my clients to raise their vibrational frequency so that they experience not only joy, but inner peace, strength and personal power to manifest their desires when their vibes are positive.

How to Improve Your Mood and Boost Energy with Humor, Fun, and Laughter

Life can be overwhelming and stressful, leaving us feeling exhausted and lacking in energy. But there’s a powerful tool that can help lift our spirits and increase our energy levels – humor, fun, and laughter. These simple yet effective techniques have been proven to have numerous advantages for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. In this article, we’ll explore how you can incorporate humor, fun, and laughter into your daily life to improve your mood and energy levels.

1. Find the Humor in Life:
One way to improve your mood is by finding humor in everyday situations. Train yourself to see the lighter side of life and find joy in the small things. Whether it’s a funny meme, a hilarious video, or a witty joke, make it a habit to seek out humor and share it with others. Surround yourself with people who have a good sense of humor, as laughter is contagious and can create a positive atmosphere.

2. Engage in Enjoyable Activities:
Participating in activities that bring you joy and excitement can significantly improve your mood and energy levels. Identify hobbies or interests that make you feel alive and make time for them regularly. It could be anything from dancing, painting, playing an instrument, or even trying out new sports. By immersing yourself in enjoyable activities, you can experience a natural high that will leave you feeling energized and uplifted.

3. Spend Time with Loved Ones:
Laughter is best shared with others, so make it a point to spend quality time with loved ones who make you laugh. Surrounding yourself with positive and humorous people can help create a supportive network that promotes laughter and fun. Plan outings, game nights, or simply have a good conversation with friends and family. Sharing laughter not only strengthens relationships but also enhances your overall well-being.

4. Watch or Read Comedy:
Watching or reading comedy is an excellent way to relax, unwind, and improve your mood. Whether it’s a funny TV show, stand-up comedy special, or a humorous book, exposing yourself to comedic content can help you escape from stress and find joy in the moment. Laughing at the jokes and situations presented in these forms of entertainment can release endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, leaving you feeling happier and more energized.

5. Practice Laughter Yoga:
Laughter yoga is a unique exercise that combines laughter with deep breathing techniques. It involves voluntary laughter, which eventually turns into genuine laughter, even if there is no apparent reason for it. By practicing laughter yoga, you can experience the benefits of laughter without relying on external stimuli. This technique has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and increase energy levels.

6. Embrace Playfulness:
As adults, we often neglect the importance of playfulness in our lives. Embracing your inner child and engaging in playful activities can have a profound impact on your mood and energy levels. Whether it’s playing with pets, participating in silly games, or even adopting a playful attitude towards daily tasks, incorporating playfulness into your life can bring a sense of lightness and joy.

As human beings embodying spiritual essence, we often become susceptible to the influence of our self-centered ego. Some of us exhibit strong determination when it comes to obtaining a desired object or person, leading us to solely concentrate on that specific goal while neglecting everything else around us.

Even when we receive subtle signs from Spirit or gentle reminders from the Universe that guide us towards another path, we often struggle to let go of our fixations and persist in pursuing what might not be meant for us.

The highest power, whether we call it God, Source, Spirit, or the Divine, desires only what is best for us. The Universe will always provide us with what serves our greater good. When we receive guidance from our guides, angels, and ancestors, their messages stem from love rather than any negative intentions such as withholding, exclusion, punishment, revenge, fear, or neglect. Spirit encourages us to lead our lives to the fullest, allowing us to experience abundant love and fostering personal and spiritual growth.

Psychic advisors like myself are sometimes “the messengers who get shot.” We sometimes read for people who get very upset with us when the guidance we receive from Spirit is not what they had hoped to hear.

There are instances when individuals have a fixed mindset and refuse to acknowledge any input or response that contradicts their desired outcome during a reading. In contrast, I truthfully convey the messages I receive from Spirit without alteration.

Trusting the universe means having faith that everything is happening for our highest good, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment ~ Mastin Kipp

To make matters worse, the stubborn demands and obsessions of some of these disgruntled folks involve people and things that they cannot morally, ethically, or legally have! For example, they may insist that someone else’s partner or spouse should be with them instead. In what alternate reality does this kind of thinking ensure good karma and abundant blessings in anyone’s life?

Of course, these situations never end well. I have seen this kind of disastrous scenario play out with numerous clients over the years. It does not take a psychic to know that people who leave their significant other for someone else often end up hurting not only the one they left, but also the person they left them for.

It is often observed that individuals who are unfaithful in one relationship are likely to be unfaithful in future relationships as well. While it may not require extensive scientific explanation, based on my observations, the new romantic partner is often caught off guard when they themselves become victims of infidelity. It is a matter of karma that the consequences of one’s actions eventually reciprocate and affect us in some manner.

The Universe does not operate by randomly placing your loved one in a relationship with someone else when they were actually meant to be with you. Each of us has someone specifically intended for us, according to a source. However, if we are fixated on being with someone else’s partner, we are unlikely to cross paths with our intended match. Demanding to be with a specific person is not how the Universe functions.

Sometimes, despite our belief that we make the best choices for ourselves, we actually don’t. It is not a coincidence that people find themselves in unsuccessful, unhealthy, unsatisfying, or even harmful relationships. These situations arise due to their own arrogance and lack of faith in the natural order and higher power. When we refuse to release control and surrender to a higher force, we can only hold ourselves accountable if things go awry.

When we trust the universe, we open ourselves up to the infinite possibilities that life has to offer, and we invite in the magic and mystery of the unknown ~ Bernadette Logue

Being open to receiving the best possible results from the Universe is the only true path to everlasting happiness, joy and fulfillment. Your perfect partner will come, but you must let go of your attachment to the one person or outcome you did not get so that the right one can come at the right time for the right reason. Let it go.

This principle extends beyond romantic relationships and life partners and can be observed in all the other gifts and blessings we receive.

The job you desired, which was given to someone else, might have appeared as the ideal job for you. However, in the future, you will reflect upon it and realize that it was not the most suitable choice for you. Your dream job will eventually come, but in order for it to manifest, you must release your attachment to the one you didn’t get. By letting it go, you will create space for the right opportunity. Embrace the act of letting go.

In the past, I have made poor choices regarding my ego. One of the most significant experiences was when I was married and my ex-husband betrayed me by cheating and eventually choosing someone else over me. This was a devastating situation at the time, but deep down, I always had a sense of what was happening. My ex-husband strongly opposed my pursuit of Reiki training, psychic development, and other spiritual interests. If he had not ended our marriage for someone else, I would still be stuck in that loveless relationship that I foolishly hoped would last forever. Consequently, I would not be the person I am today, with the ability to teach Reiki, offer spiritual guidance to others, or conduct readings.

After undergoing self-improvement and therapeutic efforts for a couple of years, I regained the ability to engage in romantic relationships. Throughout this journey, I let go of various unhealthy connections and emotional burdens from my childhood. Instead, I trusted in a higher power to bring me my ideal partner at the right time, when I was truly prepared. Now, I am happily married to a man who wholeheartedly supports my professional pursuits, despite not comprehending all aspects of it. His unwavering support encourages me in my endeavors without any conditions.

I understood that I was being guided by the Universe in the ideal direction, timing, and sequence. Putting my trust in the Universe’s path granted me a sense of liberation and joy even in times of doubt. – Gabrielle Bernstein

Another miracle lesson was a house. I fell in love with a property that I wanted to own no matter what. I focused on manifesting the means to get it day and night, to the point of obsession. The house was everything I had always dreamed of, including a beautiful deck overlooking the water and a peaceful neighborhood.

Everything seemed to be falling in place (except that nagging feeling that it was not going to happen). But before our financing was confirmed, someone else had bought it. I was heartbroken.

A couple of years later, the land behind the house was deemed unsuitable by the city and was taken over for the construction of a wider road, which has transformed the area into a bustling and noisy zone. The tranquility and serenity of the property have vanished. However, fate had something more favorable in store for me. Presently, I am residing in a tranquil community just a short stroll away from a picturesque lake (instead of being subjected to the commotion of a busy highway right behind our house). Undoubtedly, this is the small miracle that the universe had in its plans for me!

If Spirit motivates you to release something, consider doing so instead of blaming the messenger. Release your desire to have control over every result. When you embrace the natural course of life, you give space for Source to manifest its wonders. Embrace the unknown and let the Universe delight you. Your life might experience incredible transformations that you never thought possible.

How to Let the Universe’s Magic Take Effect

Ever wondered why some individuals effortlessly attract positive experiences and opportunities in their lives? It may appear as if they possess a secret formula or special ability, but in reality, they have simply learned to let the universe do its work. The universe is continuously working in our favor to bring us what we desire, but we often obstruct its flow by getting in our own way. By understanding and practicing a few fundamental principles, you too can tap into the universe’s power and manifest your dreams.

1. Believe in the Universe’s Power: The initial step in allowing the universe’s magic to take effect is to have faith in its power. Recognize that there is a higher force at play, constantly working in your favor. Develop a sense of trust and belief that the universe has your back and will provide what you need at the appropriate time.

2. Establish Clear Intentions: The universe responds to clarity. Take the time to clearly define what you truly desire. Write down your goals and dreams, being specific about what you want to manifest. The more detailed and focused your intentions are, the easier it becomes for the universe to align with them.

3. Release Control: One of the biggest obstacles to allowing the universe’s magic is our inclination to control everything. Often, we try to manage every aspect of our lives, creating resistance and blocking abundance. Learn to surrender and let go of the need to control every outcome. Trust that the universe knows what is best for you and will deliver it in the perfect timing.

4. Practice Gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful tool for aligning with the universe’s magic. When you express gratitude for what you already have, you signal to the universe that you are open and receptive to more blessings. Make a daily habit of acknowledging and appreciating the abundance in your life, no matter how small it may appear.

5. Take Inspired Action: Although surrendering control is important, it does not imply that you should do nothing. The universe appreciates action, but it is essential to take inspired action rather than forcing things to happen. Pay attention to your intuition and follow the guidance that arises from within. Trust that the universe will present you with suitable opportunities, and take steps towards your goals when they feel aligned.

6. Practice Patience: The universe operates on its own timeline, which may not always align with our desires. It is crucial to practice patience and trust that everything is unfolding as it should. Avoid becoming caught up in a sense of urgency or frustration if things do not happen immediately. Remember that the universe’s timing is always impeccable.

7. Release Limiting Beliefs: Limiting beliefs act as roadblocks that hinder the universe’s magic from flowing into your life. Identify any negative or self-sabotaging beliefs you may hold about yourself or your ability to manifest your desires. Replace them with positive affirmations and empowering thoughts that support your dreams.

8. Surround Yourself with Positivity: The energy you surround yourself with significantly impacts your ability to allow the universe’s magic to work. Seek out positive individuals who uplift and inspire you. Engage in activities that bring you joy and raise your vibration. The higher your energy, the more attuned you are to the universe’s flow.

A long-standing client of mine, whom I have been reading for for several years, recently contacted me to validate something I had always anticipated. Despite the fact that I was not taken aback or even mildly surprised, she expressed that this occurrence completely astonished her.

Throughout the years, she had firmly declared that she would never, under any circumstances, receive any communication from her soulmate again. However, now she has indeed received a message.

In my point of view, it was inevitable. I consistently advised her to remain optimistic and cling onto the profound love they had, as eventually he would return to her. However, she continuously dismissed my words, displaying skepticism and disbelief by saying phrases like “only in my dreams” and “when unlikely things happen.” She simply couldn’t come to terms with the idea that he would eventually reenter her life.

I have to admit that although I expected this outcome for a long time, I found it somewhat interesting because I believed her continuous negative thoughts and emotions about the situation would ultimately hinder her from reestablishing a connection with him. However, even her persistent self-destructive behavior and pessimism were unable to hinder the course of destiny and divine timing. If we are destined to reunite with our soulmate, it will happen no matter what, regardless of whether we have faith in the process or not.

Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, anything is possible ~ Mandy Hale

Our thoughts and words possess a powerful ability to shape our reality. What we believe and express becomes our truth, essentially making us the architects of our destiny. However, if our fate is predetermined and woven into our soul’s purpose, our actions may not have a significant impact. We can unnecessarily prolong or complicate matters, leading to stress, anxiety, and frustration. Nonetheless, if something is meant to happen, it will ultimately occur.

For her, I always saw that this love connection was meant to happen for them in this lifetime — once they both took care of some other soul contract loose ends and unfinished karmic responsibilities. And now it was finally happening, just as Spirit had predicted.

She told me that he had called her and wanted to meet and talk. They met in a coffee shop around the corner from work where he proceeded to tell her how deeply sorry he was for not calling her and how he had been thinking about her all these years.

He then also revealed that he had been in a loveless marriage and had to get out because he could no longer live a lie. Apparently, he had recently thrown in the towel on his wife and had taken some time for himself to do some soul searching. He took some time off work, went on vacation, and apparently gained some clarity of thought so that he could follow the path that would lead him to greater fulfillment.

They ultimately arranged to meet later that night and engaged in conversation until after midnight, reminiscent of their previous habit before life took them in different directions. Presently, they have a planned trip to Mexico and are fortunate enough to be at an age where they can simply relish each other’s company, unwind, and create lasting memories. According to her, life is finally falling into place.

I’m thrilled that he eventually contacted her since she had paused her life while waiting for him. She could have allowed other individuals to enter her life, but she chose to wait for him and dedicate all her energy to him. She always had a gut feeling that he was the right person, despite her disbelief in his return. However, as I’ve mentioned to her before, everything unfolds according to a higher plan.

I’m thrilled that things worked out and they reconciled sooner than expected. She has waited patiently for quite some time.

Understanding The Role Of Divine Timing

If you are going through a similar situation with your significant other or still have hope of finding them, it is important to comprehend the significance of perfect timing and take actions to reach your goal as soon as possible while avoiding any harm.

Destined events in our lives unfold according to a higher plan or purpose. In the context of soulmate relationships, divine timing means that meeting or even reuniting with your soulmate will happen when the time is right, according to the Universe’s plan. Divine timing ensures that when two souls come together, it will be in a way that is purposeful, meaningful, and aligned with the greater plan of the universe.

While divine design does not allow us to choose the time and place for these predestined events to unfold, we can make the process much easier and faster by making the right choices and doing what needs to be done. Here’s how divine timing can affect your soulmate connection and how to best navigate it.

“Prior to meeting your soulmate, it may be necessary to work on your personal growth and development. The concept of divine timing enables you to gain valuable insights, heal from previous hurts, let go of karmic obligations, and evolve into the best version of yourself. By doing so, you will be prepared to acknowledge and value your soulmate once you encounter them.”

Alignment: Divine timing ensures that both you and your soulmate are ready and energetically and emotionally aligned when you cross paths. It orchestrates the circumstances and events that bring you together, whether it’s through chance encounters, mutual connections, or shared interests. However you end up together, it will only happen once you are both in alignment.

Lessons: Sometimes divine timing involves facing challenges or going through experiences that help you grow individually, or as a couple. These challenges serve as opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, strengthening your bond and deepening your connection.

Surrender: Trusting divine timing requires surrendering control and allowing things to unfold organically. You must believe that the universe knows what’s best for you and that your soulmate will come into your life at the perfect time. Some of us need more life experience and hard-earned wisdom to surrender to the universal flow. Until you do, the tide of the life cannot take you to where your beloved is waiting for you.

Divine timing necessitates belief, persistence, and endurance. It involves having faith that although events may not align with your desires or schedule, they are unfolding according to a grander scheme. Patience enables you to stay receptive to signals and chances that guide you towards your perfect match.

Gratitude: When you finally recognize and wholeheartedly embrace the role of divine timing in your connection, you will feel a sense of gratitude for the journey that brings you together. Gratitude will deepen your appreciation for your soulmate when you find each other and you will cherish the connection you share, ultimately fostering a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship.

Spirit encourages us to have faith in the remarkable timing of the divine as we maneuver towards finding our soulmate. Embrace the expedition with steadfast belief, understanding that each bend and curve in the road brings us nearer to the eventual arrival of our beloved.

Embrace the insightful nature of the universe, welcoming patience as your ally and trust as your illuminating force. Acknowledge that each step you take, every lesson you acquire, and every obstacle you conquer is molding you into the individual you are destined to become, and getting you ready to acknowledge and treasure your destined life partner.

Hold onto your belief in your heart, because at the opportune moment, the cosmos will work its mystical wonders and your destined partner will appear, bringing immense happiness, gratification, and an unparalleled bond of love.

Understanding the Significance of Divine Timing in a Soulmate Connection

Finding a soulmate is often described as a rare and profound experience that transcends the boundaries of time and space. It is a connection that goes beyond the superficial, creating a deep sense of understanding, love, and spiritual growth. However, the journey to finding a soulmate is not always straightforward, as it often involves divine timing.

Divine timing refers to the idea that everything happens at the right moment, according to a higher plan or purpose. It is the belief that the universe has a perfect timing for everything, including when two souls are meant to come together in a soulmate connection. Understanding the significance of divine timing can help us navigate the complexities of relationships and trust in the process.

One of the key aspects of divine timing in a soulmate connection is personal growth. Before meeting our soulmate, we often need to go through various life experiences that shape us into the person we are meant to be. These experiences may include heartbreaks, personal challenges, and self-discovery. Divine timing allows us to grow individually so that we can fully appreciate and embrace the soulmate connection when it finally arrives.

Another aspect of divine timing is synchronicity. Synchronicities are meaningful coincidences that occur in our lives, often serving as signs or guidance from the universe. These synchronicities can lead us towards our soulmate by aligning circumstances and events in our lives. For example, you may unexpectedly meet someone who introduces you to your soulmate, or you may stumble upon a book or article that provides insights into your soulmate connection. These synchronicities are not mere chance occurrences but rather the universe’s way of guiding us towards our destined path.

Patience is a virtue that plays a crucial role in understanding divine timing. It is natural to feel impatient or frustrated when searching for a soulmate, especially if it feels like it is taking longer than expected. However, divine timing reminds us that everything happens when it is meant to happen. Rushing into a relationship or settling for less than we deserve can hinder the arrival of our soulmate. Trusting in divine timing allows us to surrender control and have faith that the universe is working behind the scenes to bring us closer to our soulmate.

Divine timing also ensures that both individuals are ready for a soulmate connection. It is essential for both partners to have gone through their own personal growth and healing before coming together. This readiness allows for a healthier and more balanced relationship, where both individuals can support and uplift each other on their spiritual journey. Divine timing ensures that the timing is right for both partners to meet and embark on a soulful connection.

The week begins with a Taurus Moon transit this afternoon, culminating in a Taurus New Moon tomorrow.

During a Taurus New Moon we feel a stronger connection to the physical world, a desire for stability and security in our lives, and increased attention to money, resources and material goods.

It is opportune to evaluate our financial state and reflect on our values concerning riches and belongings during the upcoming days.

During this period, it is a favorable opportunity to establish goals and initiate new ventures. Considering Taurus’s emphasis on steadiness and determination, the intentions formed during this time could revolve around constructing strong bases or developing endurance and persistence in our endeavors.

Additionally, we will discover it more manageable to uphold emotional equilibrium and endurance when confronted with obstacles, and we will be attracted to occasions that invigorate our senses, such as savoring delicious cuisine, indulging in opulence, or immersing ourselves in the natural world.

The Taurus New Moon promotes a slower pace, urging us to be in tune with our bodies and the environment, and prioritize creating a stable and meaningful life that aligns with our core beliefs.

During Thursday and Friday, there is a possibility that you will have a stronger desire to interact with others and communicate verbally. This is due to the influence of the Gemini Moon. It is a favorable period for engaging in social activities, attending gatherings, or simply spending time with friends and family.

During this period, you might also find yourself attracted to lighthearted conversations and playful engagements. It’s a great time to embrace your sense of humor and avoid taking yourself too seriously. However, it’s important to be cautious of the potential impact of Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini, as it can lead to feelings of restlessness. You may experience difficulties in focusing on a single task for an extended period.

On Thursday afternoon, there is the potential for career and entrepreneurial success with the influence of the Gemini Moon and Mercury. This alignment encourages effective communication, creative thinking, and courageous action in the workplace or business domain. It is an opportune moment to utilize your abilities and expertise to attain your professional objectives and strive for triumph in your pursuits.

Set aside the weekend for all things ‘home and hearth’ as the Cancer Moon awakens our longing to hide under the covers or make our homes more comfortable and beautiful. It’s a great time to focus on self-care activities that nurture the soul, such as spending time at home, enjoying a warm bath or indulging in our favourite comfort foods. We’ll also be drawn to spending quality time with our loved ones, whether it’s a cosy evening at home watching a film, cooking a special meal together or simply sharing heartfelt conversations.

This aspect encourages us to embrace transformation within our relationships and let go of any attachments that no longer serve us.

As we move into the weekend, on May 10, Mars, the planet of action and drive, forms a challenging square with Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions.

Overall, the astrology forecast for May 6 – 12, 2024, presents a mix of energies that will impact various aspects of our lives. We can expect a focus on practical matters, intensified relationships, and a need for clarity amidst confusion. By staying grounded, embracing transformation, and engaging in meaningful conversations, we can make the most of these celestial influences.

Throughout history and even in modern times, crystals, gemstones, and incense have garnered great popularity for their usage in spiritual, esoteric, and healing practices.

However, there exists a different kind of natural substance that lacks the same widespread recognition and popularity, despite possessing distinct metaphysical qualities and holding importance in diverse cultures and mystical practices.

Many modern practitioners are not familiar with resins and their metaphysical properties, making them less well-known and utilized. I often encounter people who have limited knowledge about the different types of resins that are available.

Resins have not garnered as much attention and exposure as crystals, gemstones, and incense, despite their growing popularity, particularly on social media and the Internet.

Consequently, individuals might have a lower chance of coming across resins while engaging with metaphysical tools and practices.

I also find that people who are at least somewhat familiar with resins tend to associate them with their use as incense. Resins such as frankincense, myrrh, copal, and others are often burned as incense to purify spaces, objects, and individuals. The smoke cleanses negative energies, purifies the aura, and creates a sacred atmosphere for rituals and ceremonies.

Never cold, as if each bead were an unquenchable flame that burned a million years like a sanctuary lamp beneath the ice, each drop of sticky gold hardening to honeyed stone ~ Gillian Clarke

Burning resins also facilitates spiritual connection and communication with higher realms, guides, and deities. The aromatic smoke is a medium for prayer, meditation, and communion with the divine. Resins are believed to have protective properties that ward off negative energies, evil spirits, and psychic attacks. Burning certain resins creates a barrier of spiritual protection around people and spaces.

Amber, my favorite type of resin, is not typically used as incense in the same way as other resins such as frankincense, myrrh, and copal. While amber has a distinct aroma when heated, it is not commonly burned as incense, mainly because pure amber resin does not produce as much smoke or fragrance as other resins. Instead, the resin is worn as protective jewelry, used in rituals and ceremonies, or displayed as decorative objects to enhance spiritual practices and personal well-being.

Amber is commonly perceived as a stone, but it is indeed a fossil that originated from the resin or ‘tree sap’ of cone-bearing trees like conifers millions of years ago. It is not classified as a mineral, but as an organic substance. The creation of amber starts when resin emerges from trees, usually as a reaction to damage or illness. Gradually, this resin gets buried in layers of sediment and undergoes polymerization and fossilization.

Amber possesses the extraordinary ability to safeguard fossils. It can trap various things like plants, insects, and even small vertebrates, freezing them in time and perfectly preserving them for countless years. This exceptional quality has intrigued scientists, historians, and collectors, enhancing the desirability of amber as a valuable substance. Regrettably, amber cannot conserve genetic DNA.

Amber holds a special place in human history as one of the oldest materials used for decoration and has been valued and used by humans throughout the ages, with evidence of its use dating back to the Stone Age. Archaeological findings, such as amber beads and artifacts, attest to its importance in ancient societies.

Amber’s natural beauty is one of the primary factors contributing to its popularity as an ornament. With a range of hues from pale yellows and oranges to rich browns and reds, amber possesses a warm and translucent appearance that fascinates people. Throughout history, various cultures have linked amber to wealth, status, and power. In civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, members of royalty, nobility, and clergy adorned themselves with amber jewelry as a symbol of prestige and divine support.

Ancient, warm, and with thousands of years of wisdom to lean on, it tethers us to nature and the cycles of rebirth. It is pure golden warmth ever ready to rouse your authentic desires and fill your spirit with calm and beautiful energy ~ Brett Larkin

Throughout history, amber has been prized not only for its beauty and use for ornamental purposes, but also for its use in traditional medicine, perfumery, and religious rituals. Amber holds cultural significance in many societies around the world and continues to be valued for its mystical qualities, including:

Protection

Amber holds great significance in various cultures due to its renowned protective properties. It possesses the ability to safeguard against harmful energies, malevolent entities, and psychic assaults by enveloping the wearer or surroundings in a shield of positive energy.

Amber has the ability to fortify the aura, improve spiritual clarity, and aid in connecting with beings from higher dimensions. Whether utilized as jewelry, a talisman, or incorporated into rituals, this precious substance acts as a potent assistant in safeguarding the spirit and fostering spiritual equilibrium and harmony.

Purification

Amber has the ability to purify and restore balance to the aura by eliminating negative energies. It is commonly used in cleansing rituals and ceremonies. In order to enhance the effectiveness of these rituals, amber-infused oil is often utilized. Additionally, amber essential oil, derived from amber resin, serves a variety of purposes such as aromatherapy and fragrance for candles, diffusers, and perfumes.

It is important to note that raw amber should not be burned as incense. Burning raw amber can release unpleasant odors and potentially harmful fumes due to certain organic compounds trapped within the resin. There are alternatives. Some types of amber resin are available for purchase that have been formulated specifically for use as incense. These resins often contain aromatic additives to enhance their fragrance while burning.

Grounding

Amber symbolizes the earth’s energy and the natural world due to its organic origin from fossilized tree resin. It establishes a connection between us and the elemental forces of nature, allowing us to ground and center our energy. In earth-based spiritual practices, amber is utilized to pay homage to the interconnectedness of all living beings.

Healing

Amber was frequently utilized in ancient medical customs due to its therapeutic attributes. It was thought to enhance physical well-being, vitality, and overall health. Traditionally, amber is employed as a remedy for different health issues such as alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and addressing respiratory problems.

Amber has numerous health applications, providing relief for various conditions like sore throats, earaches, toothaches, rheumatism, asthma, and digestive problems. It is believed that holding an amber ball can lower fever and boost metabolism. Additionally, it has been traditionally used to alleviate teething pain in babies.

Spirituality

Amber is said to contain the essence of life because it is warm to the touch, and whole insects or fragments of insects are often found in this fossil. Amber helps open the third eye chakra and facilitates spiritual insight, intuition and psychic abilities. It can be used in meditation practices to deepen one’s connection to the spiritual realm.

Amber holds significance in certain esoteric practices, symbolizing spiritual enlightenment and the broadening of one’s awareness. In regions like the Baltic and Northern Europe, where amber is plentiful, stories and myths frequently portray it as tears shed by the sun or as solidified sunlight, carrying the essence of solar energy and divine illumination.

The origin of Baltic amber in Lithuania is often linked to a mythical story about queen Jurate and fisherman Kastytis. According to the legend, when Kastytis, a mortal man, tried to court the Queen of the Baltic, God Perkunas was furious and struck her underwater amber palace with lightning, sinking Kastytis and his boat. As a result, fragments of amber from the palace have been washed ashore by the waves, while smaller pieces, believed to be Jurate’s tears, are scattered during storms.

Manifesting

The energetic properties of amber help to ‘solidify’ or ‘crystallize’ our prayers, intentions and desires, making it a valuable tool for manifestation practices and rituals. It enhances the power of affirmations, visualization techniques, and intention setting practices to create and manifest wishes and desires more effectively.

Amber is associated with the Fifth Element, also known as Akasha. Akasha is the ruler and binder of the elements of earth, fire, wind and water, symbolizing all living things. When rubbed against silk or wool, amber becomes electrically charged. It is wonderful to work with when manifesting your intentions. This fossil is magnetic and its golden color symbolizes success for Gemini’s, Leos and Virgos.

Amber is considered a sign of fortune and wellbeing in certain cultures. Wearing amber accessories or having them in your living space is thought to bring in abundance and positive outcomes. It is also believed that amber can amplify sensuality and draw attention from someone you are interested in, showcasing your inherent beauty to them.

Ancestral Work

Amber is connected to the Akashic Records, the regression of past lives, and the knowledge inherited from our ancestors. It contains the memories and energies from previous lifetimes and ancient eras, along with the collective wisdom passed down by our predecessors.

Using amber during past life regression sessions or ancestral ceremonies can aid in the exploration of past lives and ancestral ties. Its harmonizing properties help in pacifying an excessively intellectual mind and are beneficial for both past life and inner child work.

Shamanism

Amber is of great importance in shamanism and is utilized in numerous ways to aid in healing, safeguarding, foretelling, and connecting with the spiritual realm. Particular shamans employ amber to summon positive spirits, intensify their altered states of consciousness, and ease their voyages into the world of spirits.

Amber is also sometimes used in psychopomp work, which involves guiding souls to the afterlife or helping spirits transition from the earthly realm. In these rituals and ceremonies, shamans incorporate amber to assist the spirits in their journey and facilitate their passage into the spirit world.

The historical significance of amber in spirituality and mysticism reveals humanity’s profound admiration for nature and the belief in the intrinsic abilities of natural elements to cure, safeguard, and enhance awareness.

Divination

Amber has various applications in divination practices. I have explored the use of amber as a pendulum, but my primary usage revolves around casting the bones. Prior to delving into different Western approaches to healing and divination, I underwent training as a sangoma in Southern Africa three decades ago. During that time, I acquired knowledge in various areas, including the art of divination referred to as ‘throwing the bones.’ A sangoma who casts bones can be likened to a Native American shaman, an Old Norse rune reader, or a European tarot reader.

The bones casting is an ancient divination practice found in many regions of the world, including Africa, Asia, and North America. Traditionally, each bone or token used for casting is part of a “set” or “kit” that the diviner carefully selects with the guidance of spirit, the ancestors, and initially with the help of a mentor. The typical kit contains several small objects and natural curiosities, including bones, shells, beads, wood, ivory, crystals, stones, and other objects of personal significance to the diviner.

At first, my kit for fortune-telling only contained bones from different wild creatures like baboons, lions, anteaters, and wild pigs. These bones were gathered from animals that had passed away naturally. Gradually, I expanded my collection to include shells, seeds, tree bark, money, crystals, and other charms that seemed to have a significance to me. One of the noteworthy additions was a stunning fragment of unprocessed amber.

Some diviner also use amber as a scrying tool by holding or hanging a piece of polished amber in front of a candle flame or natural light source. Scrying is a divination technique that involves looking into a reflective or translucent surface to receive messages, symbols, or visions from the subconscious or spirit realm.

Finally, I’d like to emphasize the significance of being mindful about the karmic responsibility associated with the usage of natural resources like amber in spiritual or healing practices. It is essential to prioritize ethical and sustainable sourcing for all natural materials we utilize, including crystals, gemstones, incense, resins, and so forth.

By actively opting for ethically and sustainably acquired amber, you demonstrate your respect for both our planet’s natural resources and the well-being of the communities and ecosystems involved in its extraction and manufacturing process. Ethically sourced amber guarantees fair labor practices, safeguards biodiversity, boosts local economies, and fosters a harmonious coexistence between humans and the environment.

By infusing your spiritual practice with intentionality and compassion, you contribute to the collective well-being of our planet and affirm your commitment to living in alignment with your values. Choose consciously, practice mindfully, and let your spiritual practice be a beacon of light for the world.

Discover the Fascinating Properties of Ancient Amber

Amber, a fossilized tree resin, has captivated humans for centuries with its mesmerizing beauty and intriguing properties. This ancient gemstone, often referred to as “the gold of the sea,” holds within it a wealth of historical and scientific significance. From its stunning colors to its ability to preserve ancient life forms, amber continues to amaze and fascinate people around the world.

One of the most remarkable properties of amber is its ability to preserve ancient life forms. Trapped within its golden depths are remnants of a bygone era, offering a unique glimpse into prehistoric times. Insects, spiders, and even small reptiles have been found perfectly preserved in amber, frozen in time for millions of years. These tiny creatures provide invaluable insights into the biodiversity and evolution of our planet.

Amber is formed from the resin of ancient trees, primarily conifers. When a tree is injured or stressed, it secretes resin as a defense mechanism. Over time, this resin hardens and fossilizes, transforming into amber. The process can take millions of years, resulting in a gemstone that is both beautiful and durable.

The colors of amber are as diverse as the species of trees from which it originates. Ranging from pale yellow to deep red, amber’s hues are influenced by various factors such as the tree’s age, the presence of minerals, and the environment in which it was formed. The most prized color is a rich, warm honey tone known as “classic amber.” However, other shades like green, blue, and even black can also be found, each possessing its own unique charm.

Amber’s beauty has been admired and sought after throughout history. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, valued amber for its aesthetic appeal and believed it possessed magical properties. It was often used in jewelry, amulets, and religious artifacts. Today, amber continues to be highly regarded in the world of jewelry, with designers incorporating it into modern and innovative pieces.

Beyond its visual allure, amber also possesses interesting physical properties. It is lightweight, making it comfortable to wear as jewelry. Additionally, amber is an excellent conductor of electricity when rubbed, a phenomenon known as “static electricity.” This property has been utilized in various scientific experiments and has even inspired the creation of electrostatic generators.

Amber has also been used for medicinal purposes throughout history. Its healing properties were believed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote general well-being. Today, amber is still used in alternative medicine practices, particularly in Baltic countries where it is believed to have therapeutic effects on various ailments.

In recent years, scientists have discovered that amber contains a substance called succinic acid. This compound has been found to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, leading to its use in skincare products and supplements. The potential health benefits of succinic acid have sparked interest in the scientific community, with ongoing research exploring its applications in various fields.

Almost all of us have encountered the grief of losing someone dear to us, be it a parent, a spouse, or even a child. Additionally, we have observed or personally undergone the various methods individuals employ to deal with this overwhelming sorrow.

Dealing with the significant void created by the loss can adversely affect individuals’ actions. Certain individuals resort to extreme measures such as alcohol, substance misuse, excessive eating, prescription medications, or other methods to numb their pain and divert the overpowering emotions linked to grief and loss.

What we ultimately learn is that there is no set time frame in which such profound pain can be dealt with. It can take weeks, months, years or even decades for some. But even when the worst is over, we never really get over the sense of loss. We simply learn to cope and get on with our lives, forever changed, as best we can.

However, the greatest tribute we can pay the loved ones we have lost is to grieve with grace and dignity. Abusing substances or indulging in other distractions may temporarily numb our pain, but how does that honour the memory of the one we professed to care so much about? It also does not allow us to confront and process our emotions in a healthy and constructive manner. Grieving is natural and necessary. When we try to avoid our grief, we miss out on opportunities for personal growth, self-reflection, and ultimately finding peace with the loss.

I will continue to observe the world on behalf of both of us as much as I am able. I will find joy in the company of birds, sing alongside the flowers, and offer prayers to the stars, all for the sake of both of us.

Moreover, when we opt to mourn with elegance and poise, we are actively recognizing the importance of the bond we had with our beloved. Rather than avoiding our sorrow, we embrace it as a testament to the profoundness of our connection and the influence they had on our existence. By electing to pay tribute to the memory of our loved ones with grace and dignity, we not only honor their lasting impact but also honor ourselves and the profound relationship we had.

Ten years ago, I experienced a tragic loss as my dear daughter passed away. Initially, I struggled to comprehend and cope with this immense pain, as it seemed impossible to fill the void left behind. Nevertheless, as time went on, I made the choice to honor her memory by openly and sincerely expressing my sorrow.

I also considered her legacy: she had a passion for improving the lives of the oppressed and downtrodden; she was extremely connected to animals and had such a deep respect for Mother Nature; and she was highly creative and took such joy in her involvement with the things she loved. It became my mission to honor her accordingly.

My affinity has always been with children. Their lives are uncomplicated because they come so easily from a place of honesty and innocence. They are not caught up in the everyday social and material trappings that us adults have convinced ourselves we cannot live without.

I am not skilled in art like my daughter, but I can knit and sew. As a result, I began creating basic items such as gloves, slippers, and baby bibs to send to an orphanage in South America. Did my modest endeavors have a profound impact on the lives of those children? Most likely not. However, maybe the mere knowledge that someone from a distant land loves and cares for them deeply was sufficient to foster a sense of assurance in the hearts of those vulnerable individuals.

Through acts of charity, kindness and compassion, by channeling our grief into meaningful actions that honor the memory of our loved one, we not only pay tribute to their life but also find solace and purpose in our own journey of healing. Whoever that special person was in your life, the one you cared about so much, by all means express your grief. Do it loudly or quietly – there is no magic way. But whatever you do, please do it with honor, grace and dignity.

Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest ~ Jamie Anderson

Select the most superior approaches accessible and strive to contribute towards the betterment of society. This way, when your dear ones observe your determination in overcoming sorrow and hopelessness, they will take pride in the respectful tribute you are dedicating towards them. Below are a few suggestions on how to achieve this:

Donate or volunteer: Make a charitable donation or volunteer your time to causes that were important to your loved one. This could involve supporting organizations they were passionate about or participating in community service projects in their honor.

Create a legacy project: Start a project or initiative that honors your loved one’s memory and makes a positive impact in their honor. This could involve starting a scholarship fund, organizing a fundraiser, or launching a community outreach program in their name.

Perform acts of kindness: Pay tribute to your loved one’s legacy by performing acts of kindness and compassion in their honor. This could involve helping others in need, volunteering in your community, or simply being there for someone who is going through a difficult time.

Engage in activities that your loved one was passionate about or support causes they cared about to celebrate their interests. This may include participating in their hobbies, attending events related to their interests, or advocating for the issues they were passionate about.

Honoring the memory of deceased loved ones with grace and dignity is a meaningful way to keep their legacy alive and find comfort and healing in the midst of grief. Each person’s journey of remembrance is unique, so choose the ways that resonate most deeply with you and your loved one’s memory.

Experiencing the loss of a loved one is an incredibly difficult and painful experience. The emotions and sorrow can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost and unsure of how to handle it. However, it is possible to navigate this challenging journey gracefully and find ways to honor their memory while also taking care of ourselves. Here are some strategies to help cope with the loss of loved ones in a graceful manner.

1. Give yourself permission to grieve: Grieving is a natural and necessary process for healing. It’s important to allow yourself to feel the pain and sadness that comes with loss. Cry, express your emotions, and take the time you need to mourn. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to grieve, and everyone’s journey is unique.

2. Seek support: Surround yourself with a support system of friends, family, or a grief support group. Sharing your feelings and memories with others who have experienced similar losses can provide comfort and understanding. Lean on your loved ones during this difficult time, as they can be there for you when you need them.

3. Take care of yourself: Grief can take a toll on your physical and emotional well-being. Prioritize self-care during this time. Make sure you eat well, get enough rest, and engage in activities that bring you joy and peace. Exercise or relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga can also help reduce stress and promote healing.

4. Create meaningful rituals or memorials: Finding ways to honor the memory of your loved one can bring solace and comfort. Consider creating a memorial or tribute that reflects their life and legacy. Planting a tree, creating a memory box, or organizing a charity event in their name can help keep their memory alive and provide a sense of connection.

5. Seek professional help if needed: If your grief becomes overwhelming or interferes with your daily life, seeking professional help can be beneficial. A therapist or counselor can guide and support you through the grieving process. They can help develop coping strategies, provide a safe space to express emotions, and assist in finding meaning and purpose after loss.

6. Be compassionate towards yourself: Be patient and kind to yourself as you grieve. Understand that healing takes time and it’s normal to have good and bad days. Allow yourself to experience a range of emotions without judgment or guilt. Remember that grief is a journey, and it’s important to be gentle with yourself as you navigate through it.

7. Find meaning and purpose: While the pain of loss may never fully disappear, finding meaning and purpose in life can bring peace and acceptance. Engage in activities that align with your values or volunteer for causes that were important to your loved one. By channeling your grief into something positive, you can create a legacy that honors their memory.

Since the 1960s, the “New Children” have been arriving on the Earth plane in increasing numbers, bringing with them wisdom, insights, perspectives and innovations that are sorely needed in our rapidly evolving, and currently very troubled world.

The New Children are individuals with ancient wisdom who have been reborn to fulfill a unique purpose – they are here to lead, heal, educate, and enlighten, their goal being to raise human awareness to a more advanced state.

As an increasing number of these timeless spirits bless our world with their existence, it is becoming more and more evident that they hold a deep comprehension of the interdependence of all living beings and the inherent harmony that unites us.

Through their innate wisdom and pure-heartedness, the New Children are converging to transform the collective consciousness of humanity. They are introducing us to a future society where prejudice, discrimination and injustice are relics of the past, replaced by a deep reverence for the inherent dignity and worth of every soul.

The wisdom that this new generation of humans carry is not bound by the limitations of social constructs and dogmatic religion. They challenge us to look beyond the superficial labels of body, gender, race, creed, and nationality, reminding us that these are merely temporary identities that obscure the true essence of who we are. They have a deep understanding that we are all equal and deserving of love, regardless of outward differences.

The Universe is my real mother; and the Universal Wisdom is my dad ~ Sahara Sanders

The arrival of the New Children is becoming more frequent as we are in urgent need of their assistance. We require individuals with wisdom and knowledge in various fields such as leadership, science, environmentalism, teaching, healing, and prophecy. In a world plagued by discrimination, division, and unfairness, these enlightened souls bring a glimmer of hope for the future of humanity. Their presence serves as a reminder that love is the only thing that truly matters, surpassing boundaries and bringing people together in their shared humanity. They are here to encourage us to embrace inclusivity and acceptance, appreciating the diverse and vibrant tapestry of the human experience.

Who Are The New Children?

The term “New Children” refers to an emerging generation of spiritually evolved human beings who have unique qualities and characteristics that set them apart from previous generations in human history. The Indigo Children were the first wave of spiritually gifted and evolved souls to begin incarnating on Planet Earth since the 1960s and 70s, followed by the Crystal Children in the 80s and 90s, and then the Rainbow Children since the new millennium.

The term “Star Children” is sometimes used as an umbrella term to encompass all three these groups, as well as other spiritually advanced beings believed to be incarnating on Earth at this time. Star children are thought to originate from other planets or star systems and to possess a special mission or purpose in helping humanity evolve to a higher level of consciousness.

The awareness of the New Children initially appeared in the spiritual community during the 1970s. Nancy Ann Tappe’s book, Understanding Your Life Through Color (1982), further popularized this concept. Tappe, who is a psychic synaesthete, observed a growing number of children being born with a distinct indigo aura. The phenomenon gained even more recognition in the late 1990s with the release of books like The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober (1999). This book ignited widespread interest in the concept of Indigo Children as a unique generation with special characteristics and a specific purpose.

Since then, the idea has developed further in the community of alternative spirituality, and other well-known books have been released on the subject. These include The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children (2001) and The Crystal Children: A Guide to the Newest Generation of Psychic and Sensitive Children (2003) by Doreen Virtue, as well as Parenting the Children of Now: Practicing Health, Spirit, and Awareness to Transcend Generations (2008) by Meg Blackburn Losey and The Crystal Children by Anni Sennov (2010).

INDIGO CHILDREN

Indigo children possess strong intuition, creativity, and a sense of purpose from an early age. They are often seen as rebellious and non-conformist, challenging traditional authority and societal norms. Indigo children have a deep connection to spirituality and a mission to make a positive difference in the world.

A plethora of “New Children” are presently arriving on Earth due to our growing demand for their guidance and wisdom. The majority of these souls have not been in this time-space reality for centuries but have instead incarnated in alternate dimensions and planes of existence. Some have even fulfilled roles as spirit guides and ancestral protectors.

Indigo children can be challenging! As a parent, teacher or counselor of these children, you have your work cut out for you. Remember, we are never given any challenge that is greater than our ability ~ Lawrence Wilson

Rephrased: Nurturing the Next Generation of Children

If we are lucky to have the opportunity to raise one of these wise beings, the experience is truly life-changing. Unlike typical parenting dynamics, where adults are supposed to pass down knowledge to their children, in this case, it is different. It develops into a mutual and beneficial connection, where both parent and child are both students and educators.

Raising these kids comes with its fair share of difficulties. It necessitates being open-minded and letting go of preconceived ideas while embracing the unpredictable. Additionally, it demands the development of patience, compassion, and understanding as we navigate the intricacies of being parents. However, the rewards are incalculable.

Sadly, many are being prescribed drugs to suppress their intuition, energy, wisdom and defiance. Some struggle with mental health and even commit suicide, often because they are so misunderstood. We need more spiritually aware parents to raise these children, instead of labeling and medicating them and exposing them to harmful radiation and toxic digital technology.

If you have the privilege of nurturing an old soul child, be aware that they can teach you as much, if not more, than you can teach them. These children appreciate the simple joys of life and are drawn to nature. They often have a preference for healthy food and encourage us to prioritize self-care. It’s important to be mindful of our energy and emotions while cooking, as the vibrations can affect the food’s energy, which in turn affects us when we consume it.

The new kids strongly dislike drama and violence. Lately, numerous parents have expressed to me their frustration with their young child lecturing them. I advise them to really listen. These wise souls shed tears when they witness an animal’s pain or when they are shouted at or treated disrespectfully, reminding us to reconnect with our empathy. They surprise us with their unwavering straightforwardness and truthfulness, teaching us that every action is observed by a higher power and that there are no hidden truths.

Many of the New Children are also androgynous in appearance and personality, teaching us that the balance between the divine masculine and feminine is the ideal. They show deep and genuine joy in dance, song, and family time – teaching us that we only age when we stop playing.

Old souls in children’s bodies also want their independence – teaching us not to live vicariously through them and to find our own inner strength. They teach us to respect their independence. They also have a natural uniqueness about them – teaching us not to be afraid of the judgments of others. Ancient souls do not conform to the norm. They are natural rebels and gurus, like Buddha, Christ, Ghandi and Mandela.

Most importantly, the New Kids do not indulge in the prejudices that plague humanity. They teach us that our body, gender, race, creed and nationality are only temporary labels. Not everything needs to be categorized, included, or excluded. All souls fall under only one label: Love. So, when your old soul child tells you, “Hang up the phone, Mommy! Listen. They are radiating pure joy, and they can also inspire you to restore joy in your own heart.

As we increasingly witness the influx of these wise sages and time travelers into our world, let us welcome them with open arms, open hearts, and open minds. Let us learn from them as much as we teach, embracing the timeless wisdom they bring and allowing it to illuminate our path forward. For in their presence we are reminded that divine love is the ultimate truth, and it is through love that we will usher in a brighter, more harmonious world for generations to come.

Understanding the Unique Characteristics of the New Children: Exploring the Concept of Old Souls

In recent years, there has been a growing fascination with the concept of “old souls” and their presence among the new generation of children. These individuals are believed to possess wisdom and maturity beyond their years, exhibiting unique characteristics that set them apart from their peers. Exploring this concept can provide valuable insights into the nature of human consciousness and the potential for personal growth.

The term “old soul” refers to someone who has lived many lifetimes and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience. These individuals are often seen as wise beyond their years, displaying a deep understanding of life’s complexities and a sense of purpose that surpasses their chronological age. While the idea of old souls is not new, it has gained significant attention in recent years due to the increasing number of children who exhibit these unique characteristics.

One of the defining characteristics of old souls is their innate sense of empathy and compassion. They possess a deep understanding of human emotions and are often more sensitive to the needs and struggles of others. Old souls tend to be highly intuitive, able to pick up on subtle cues and understand the underlying motivations behind people’s actions. This heightened level of empathy allows them to form deep connections with others and offer guidance and support when needed.

Another notable trait of old souls is their inclination towards introspection and self-reflection. They possess a natural curiosity about the world and a desire to understand the deeper meaning behind their own existence. Old souls often engage in philosophical contemplation, seeking answers to life’s big questions and exploring their own spiritual beliefs. This introspective nature often leads them to develop a strong sense of self-awareness and a profound understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses.

Old souls also tend to exhibit a sense of detachment from material possessions and societal expectations. They often prioritize experiences over material wealth and find fulfillment in simple pleasures rather than materialistic pursuits. This detachment allows them to focus on personal growth and spiritual development, rather than being consumed by the pursuit of external validation.

It is important to note that not all children who display these characteristics can be classified as old souls. Each individual is unique, and their experiences and personal growth journey may differ. However, recognizing and understanding these traits can help parents, educators, and society as a whole better support and nurture the development of these exceptional individuals.

For parents of old souls, it is crucial to provide an environment that encourages their child’s curiosity and introspection. Engaging in meaningful conversations, exposing them to diverse perspectives, and encouraging creative outlets can help stimulate their intellectual growth. It is also essential to foster a sense of community and connection, allowing them to form relationships with like-minded individuals who can support their personal and spiritual development.

Educators can play a vital role in supporting old souls by creating a learning environment that encourages critical thinking, self-reflection, and exploration of philosophical ideas. Providing opportunities for deep discussions, encouraging independent research, and incorporating mindfulness practices into the curriculum can help these children thrive academically and personally.

In conclusion, understanding the unique characteristics of old souls among the new generation of children can provide valuable insights into the nature of human consciousness and personal growth. These individuals possess wisdom, empathy, and a sense of purpose that sets them apart from their peers. By recognizing and nurturing these traits, we can create a society that values introspection, empathy, and personal growth, ultimately leading to a more compassionate and enlightened world.
