Candle Lighting, Crystals, Aroma Therapy And Other Such Rituals / Beliefs

[safenow]

May I ask, how do you calm your chakras? I see there are precious stones to do this, but I am not sure how this works. Can someone please explain that to me?

Thank you

It is easy to do once you know how to do it safenow, but to be honest the first time you have it done it is better done by some one who knows how it works.

Not because you cant do it, but because they can do it in a calm and controlled area.

I tried to do it myself once, but the phone rang, the cat scratched at the door and then someone rang the door bell. So I gave up. Now I have had it done away from home, I can get my crystals out and do it myself once a month.

This web site gives you the basic info for starting off. http://www.shamanscrystal.co.uk/page/chakrastones/

One good tip for slowing down your anxiety in the Solar Plexus, is to gently rub the centre of one palm with your opposite thumb, in a slow circular motion. This can help with anxiety where ever you are.

Thank you, amethist.

Oh my. I just opened it, and it talks about a person's Aura. All my life, I can look at a person and see a color around them. I always thought that was part of my insanity. LOL.

Just goes to show you, when it's written we are all given gifts, I think that is one of mine. My family said it is part of being a witch, but I am not a witch. So I always just ignored it. But some colors tell me that a person is not a good person, so I stay away from them.

Another one of those gifts was being able to hold my hand out over a person and feeling "hot" spots where they were ill. I would do message to help open those areas and allow blood flow to that spot to help heal them.

I haven't done those things in years and years.

@Hashi, Have you seen the newest in candles which have flickering light. They can fool the best eye and are battery operated. Very safe! ((((((Hashi))))))). Whitney

@safenow, I so relate to the witch comment. The only valid thing my mother ever told me as a very young child. On her side of the family most of the females had a sense of unexpected visitors. My mother was treated like a freak, she was also left handed. At least she stopped that chain of abuse.

I am so happy for your re-awakening. Aura reading is a very special sensitivity. Evil people only see darkness. Allow yourself to feel you are so special! :tup: Whitney

I wish I could readily see auras. I actually can sense auras, if I have a mind to. My own is rather larger than "normal" due to tramas... about 10 feet.

I do have some holistic friends who are convinced I am a medical intuitive as I can at times see illness "coloring a persons face". A friend who is a professional medical intuitive sees in black and white, and for several years I would describe the "color" of various peoples faces... my own, my families, clients, people who came into the store. She asked me to tell her the colors I see and what they meant to me. When I did, she remarked that she only saw black or white. Only when I left the store did I realize what she had subtly suggested to me. Later she suggested that I picked up on people in my aura bubble most likely as a way to sense safety and that the "gift" just came along with it though it is largley unconscious and does not work on everybody. She offered to train me and I declined.

When I was 16 I went to a seminar where I learned alpha, and theta meditation as well as "glove anesthesia" which is not only detecting hot or cold spots but sending heat or cold through your hands. Sort of like what you describe Safe Now. I was asked post seminar to train and declined.

Later on I had a friend interested in becoming a Reiki Master and she offered in return for me being her "subject/client" for sessions to give me heavily discounted Reiki 1 and 2 training. During the practice portion of the seminar and in the sessions I see colors of the practitioner working on me, but not on anyone else. Though I demonstrated other aptitudes. She too asked me to train and I have declined.

Several others at one time or another have offered mentorships to train me... but I have no interest, as the amount of concentration always gave me headaches or other unnecessary difficulties.

Thinking about it now, that is probably why I didn't feel the need to use stones or other objects. Though I don't actively "do" any of the things in this post... except for the seminar at 16 or the Reiki classes. Even when I learned Reiki, when everyone else was drawing symbols on their hands... I never did but I would accomplish the same things as well or better intuitively. I guess that's why I don't do or seem to need rituals.

Off topic, I'll shut up now.

My husband calls me his "Witchy Wife" all the time.

It makes me smile and I take it as the complement it is meant as.

I find it interesting so many have recognized the advantages spiritual healing.

JMHO one can practice these methods along with their religious beliefs.

There is no difference having a massage or doing Chakra work. Meditating vs prayer. Being raised to believe we are born guilty just does not sit with me. I will never deny any one their belief.

I have never had an experience with spiritual study that involved anything but positive growth. One should thoroughly review the background of any teaching.

Our minds can be programmed by others to believe we are guilty, helpless beings. It takes time but surrounding oneself with positive thought is a plus. :tup:

I feel exactly the same way.

Aroma therapy is very healing. However also a personal selection.

Lavender works reverse on me. I have to customize the scent I work with. The benefit of finding the right scent's for me were amazing. Even my cleaning products are selected.

My personal choice is to not to subscribe power to objects, but to rely on God though there is creedence for such things. I prefer to trust and stay presently mindful in His way rather than perhaps intentionally seek to manipuate my mind, body or spirit by use of power objects. Just my take, though others are free to go their own way.

You put it the way I was wanting to, but didn't know how. :)
Every time I see something I like, that pleases my eye, I just think of how much more beautiful it would have been when it was first created, and spend a few moments grateful for the spiritual gratification I gain from looking at a luscious color in a plant or the habits of a bird.

I don't do any ritual. It always creep me and make me even more worried. I directly ask to god/goddess. I let out my all things from heart to them and ask for assistance. I talk to them through beliefs and inner heart.

I believe we all have same god/goddess. I am not religious either.
