What are Angels?
Angels are messengers from spirit allowing us a greater understanding and connection to Spirit. They are also part of our consciousness, representing realms beyond thought and idea. The human mind needs form, so the Light of Spirit takes on the physical form of an angel, to encourage direct communion with God. We create a dimensional blending that enables them to appear in a form that is acceptable to us. Though the form of angels changes from culture to culture, almost every culture throughout the world has reports of angels. Throughout history angels have inspired poets, artists, writers, prophets and religious leaders as well as everyday men and women. Angels are associated with higher nature, joy, beauty, fulfilment, laughter and peace. Angels are here to heal us, to redeem lost faith, broken trust and innocence. They help us lay down the burden of fear, guilt, uncertainty and pain. They help replace feelings of unworthiness with joy as they help us gently enter the world of love. Angels are different from guides in that they have not lived an Earth time existence; angels are of the stars and heavens, guides are of the Earth. They are divine beings who have not experienced the Earth plane in a human body. Angels are celestial beings of a higher vibrational level than guides. From nature angels and angelic messengers, to your own personal guardian angel, there are many different kinds of angels and each serve a specific function in your life. A nature angel is guardian or protector of a particular area on Earth such as a mountain. Archangels such as Michael with his sword of truth, serve as guardians for the entire planet. Messenger angels are angels that sometimes take on human form for short periods to give you a message, offer help in times of danger or teach you an important lesson. A guardian angel is your personal protector that is looking over you always. Your guardian is a very special kind of angel that is with you from the moment you are born to help you move towards the light. Though the numbers of occurrences of angelic visitations is growing rapidly, most angels aren’t seen but are felt. There are different ways to tell if you are in the presence of an angel. Often the pure scent of flowers accompanies their presence. Sometimes an angel will announce its presence with a slight breeze even if all the windows are closed. The breeze is the flutter of angel wings. Sometimes you’ll hear the faint sound of bells or chimes or trumpets. Sometimes an angelic presence is seen as a flash of light but the most common way to tell if you are in the presence of angels is by the warm wave of love that washes over you. If you feel an angel is standing behind you, it most likely is. To call angels into your life, simply ask! Angels respond to prayers and thoughts of love. They are only a whisper away. The more you think about angels, the more you call them into your life. As you trust and open your heart to them, they will pour out their blessings on you. Angels are real! They are a doorway to the divine within yourself.
What are Chakras?
The human body contains hundreds of locations where there is focused and concentrated energy. There are, however, seven major energy centers, commonly referred to as "chakras." The chakras are similar to wheels in that they are spinning vortexes of energy. They are centers of force located within our etheric body, through which we receive, transmit, and process life energies. Each chakra in the body is recognized as a focal point for life-force relating to spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental energies. The chakras are the network through which the mind, body, and spirit interact as one holistic system. The seven major chakras correspond to specific aspects of our consciousness and have their own individual characteristics and functions. Each has a corresponding relationship to one of the various glands of the body's endocrine system, as well as to one of the seven colours of the rainbow spectrum. The main purpose in working with and understanding the chakras is to create integration and wholeness within ourselves. In this way we bring the various aspects of our consciousness from the physical to the spiritual, into a harmonious relationship. Ultimately, we begin to recognize that the various aspects of ourselves all work together, and that each aspect is as much a part of the whole as the others. We must be able to acknowledge, integrate, and accept all levels of our being. To help us in the process of our unfolding it is most important to understand that the chakras are doorways for our consciousness. They are the doorways through which emotional, mental, and spiritual force flow into physical expression. They are openings through which our attitudes and belief systems enter into and create our mind/body structure. The energy created from our emotional and mental attitudes runs though the chakras and is distributed to our cells, tissues and organs. Realizing this brings tremendous insight into how we ourselves affect our bodies, minds, and circumstances for better or for worse. To understand the chakras and their relationship to our consciousness, is to better understand ourselves. Understanding ourselves will enable us to make our choices and decisions from a place of balance and awareness, rather than being blindly influenced by forces we do not understand.
The History of Crystals
Crystal has been the formation of the earth’s crust since time as we know it began. 15,000 million years ago the ‘Big Bang’ Theory was termed, there was an enormous explosion, and at first all energy and matter which at that time were only subatomic particles were very closely concentrated, then the explosion scattered everything through space. Star studies prove the universe is still expanding. The Big Bang initiated and set off processes producing atoms forming different elements, the chemically invisible building blocks of the stars and the planets. Cosmologists believe that the universe was more than 10,000 million years old when our solar system formed over 4,600 million years ago. It’s raw material was cloud and dust and gas in one spiral arm of our galaxy. Scientists have not been able to explain how the cloud became sun and planets, although have produced various theories. The structure of the Earth as we know it has 92 naturally occurring elements, of which eight account for 98% of the weight of the Earth’s crust. Approximately 3/4 of its weight lies in two non metals, oxygen and silicon, and percentages of the rest consist of the six metals, aluminium, iron, calcium, sodium potassium and magnesium. With the crust most elements occur as minerals, natural substances that differ chemically have distinct atom structures. The Earth’s crust holds approximately 2000 kinds of minerals. A few (including gold) occur as just one element; but most comprise of two or more elements chemically joined together as compounds. Silicates (minerals containing silicon and oxygen) are the most abundant minerals in the crust and mantle, which equates to 4/5ths of the planet’s volume. Most minerals are formed from fluids that are solidified, a process that arranged their atoms geometrically, producing crystals. The size and shape of a crystal depends on how it is formed. Impurities, temperature, pressure, and the amount of space will affect what a crystal looks like.
How to Cleanse, Charge and Programme your Crystals
Cleansing Your Crystal
Cleanse the crystal of unwanted vibrations and energies that come from other people handling the crystals during its mining, packing, transportation, unpacking and display before it has actually reached you. Crystals tend to take on energy indicriminately and like wearing someone else’s clothing, you can feel what’s not the right energy for you. All crystals need cleansing prior to each use. There are a number of ways to cleanse a crystal, the following are just a few. Find the one which works for you.
