Reiki is a great alternative for you that has already resorted to all kinds of help to calm your heart. You've followed the advice of all your friends and yet you still can not figure out what to do to have a bit of emotional calm and tranquility, to solve your problems with balance and consideration.

 Despite maintaining a regular diet and exercise, have  you felt your body in disarray, as if something was in imbalance?

If so, consider learning a little more about the benefits of Reiki in your personal quest for peace and balance.

It is exactly on this subject that we will deal with in our article today. Discover this kind of healing energy, discovered in Japan by the famous teacher Mikao Usui, and unveil the main benefits that this technique can bring to our body and spirit!

1. Balance: Always be in Harmony

     Reiki is nothing more than a vital energy transfer technique, done so with one's hands. Among the concepts that underlie this technique is the energy levels.

     Each person carries with him his life energy. If this energy level is low, one can easily become the target of diseases and imbalances of all kinds. On the other hand, if the energy is balanced, equilibrium will reign.

And this is one of the benefits of Reiki: through the flow of energy, it enables rebalancing through the organization of the individual magnetic field, in order to provide a sense of comfort and well-being.

2. Tranquility: A Life of Fullness

     Reiki is not connected to any kind of religion or dogma. It is a concept of universal energy. There is, in fact, a strong appeal to the spiritual side of being, but without connecting to any kind of closed concept.

     That is, it is a technique that deals with the energy that involves the body and the spirit, bringing renewal and reenergization. This all brings to the person receiving Reiki a sense of peace, calm and tranquility, which causes a deep relaxation, causing, according to reports, even curative processes...

3. Stress reduction: peace of mind and body

     By acting as an agent for rebalancing the vital energies of being, Reiki provides a considerable reduction of levels of emotional and physical stress.

     This is because, during the application of the technique, individuals usually report the occurrence of a feeling of peace, comfort and relaxation, which, in turn, act positively on the mental state of the individual, which contributes to the decrease of stress levels and even to raise self-esteem.

As you can see, there are many benefits to Reiki. This famous Japanese technique, in fact, helps and much in the search for relaxation and self-knowledge, providing healing to the body and soul.

Hello, beautiful one!

Hope you have had a wonderful Yuletide and New Year. And I wish your 2016 is filled with peace, happiness, health, love and prosperity!

     January is the month of the Full Wolf Moon.
 It first appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. It is also known as the Old Moon.
     To some Native American tribes, this was the Snow Moon, but most applied that name to the next full Moon, in February.

It will be on January, 23rd

Moon Folklore:

It is said that a bright first Moon promises rain and a bountiful harvest.

Here's the spell I'll be casting on this full moon and a great suggestion!

Do you struggle with anxiety, impatience, a little bit of stress growing in you? Do you find yourself too often easily losing your nerve with people and life situations?

If so, try this spell to help you increase your patience and relieve all of those unhealthy bad stuff out of you.

      I find this one a big tool dealing with all of that, plus telling my social anxiety to shut up!

What better way to bless this year?

You will need: 

-A cup or bowl filled with water;
-A blue candle;
-Essential oil – lavender, palmarosa or jasmine.

1.  Cast your circle and light the candle. 

2.  Take ten deep breaths while gazing at the candle flame.  For each in-breath, imagine that you are inhaling the peaceful blue colour of the candle as it was smoke, and for each out-breath, imagine all your frustrations leaving your body. 

3.  Now take the bowl of water, and put three drops of your chosen essential oil in it.  Dip your fingers in the water, stirring slightly, and recite the following:

Blessed waters cool my spirit, 

Fill me with your soothing peace.

Like the river I shall flow Patiently,

with joy and ease Now 

4.  Blow out the candle and close your circle. 

If you like, you can keep a bowl of water with the essential oil in it on your altar – if you feel impatient again, inhale the scent of the essential oil while repeating the incantation.

Hope you found this useful!

Hugs and Kisses!

Good Morning Sweeties! 

Mondays are awesome!

 This weekend I finally had some time and finished all of the changes I said I would be making on the previous post. Will make a Guest Blogging page too!

      I have some artsy projects on my mind, but will update you on that when I hopefully start working on them ;)

Geez! Sometimes it gets hard enough to make time for all the things on my daily goals list, I need to work on my time-management skills!

Now lets get into it!

       Being today December 21st, 2015 and the day of the Winter Solstice and the start of a very special time of the yearly life cycle, I wanted to take the time to just search and learn a little more about it!
       Knowing the Wheel of Time phases and how it can help us understand the influence of the Gods and Mother Earth in our spiritual path is something every Pagan should make an effort!
       

YULE (Winter Solstice)

Also called: Yule, Yuletide, Jul, Saturnalia, Christmas, solar/secular New Year;

Dates: Around December 21;

Colors: Red, green, white;

Tools/Symbols: Mistletoe, evergreen wreath, lights, gifts, holly, Yule log, Yule tree;

Energy: Regeneration & renewal;

Goddesses: Great Mother, Isis, Mary, Tonazin, Lucina, Bona Dea;

      December may be marked by Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, but for pagans it’s the time to celebrate Yule. The holiday marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (Sunday, Dec. 21, this year) and celebrates the rebirth of the sun and beginning of winter. It is one of the oldest winter celebrations known.

      The celebration of the Winter Solstice, as often as not referred to as Yule, is common to almost every culture. For this reason, although the Christian Church has long since adopted it as the birth date of Jesus, it has retained more of the ancient Pagan tradition then any other holiday or festival. In early times, December 25th (the date now recognized as Christmas) was commemorated as the Birth of the Sun God.

Christmas is an adaptation of the Pagan Winter solstice or Yule.

Whatever Jesus was, he was definitely not born in December.

      Yule is deeply rooted in the cycle of the year, it is the seed time of year, the longest night and the shortest day, where the Goddess once again becomes the Great Mother and gives birth to the new Sun King. In a poetic sense it is on this the longest night of the winter, 'the dark night of our souls', that there springs the new spark of hope, the Sacred Fire, the Light of the World, the Coel Coeth.

       For all it's inputs and influences, Yule is still an important time of the year to pagans around the world. In the most direct terms it is still a festival that honors the cycle of nature and the Wheel of the Year. It is not just about the rebirth of the God figure in pagan lore.

       For Celtic pagans, Yule is the time when the Sun God Lugh is reborn in human form to rejoin his beloved wife Eriu. She is described as a hag, who transformed into a beautiful Goddess by the marriage and personifies the land of Ireland in her every feature and character. She becomes known in legend as the "Sovereignty of Ireland". Yule is also the celebration of the cycle of life through Eriu and all her incarnations as the Maiden, Mother and Crone Goddess.

Thank you so much for reading!

Hope you have a blessed Yule!  

Hugs and Kisses!

Reny

Hey there, my sweet little princes and princesses! :D

A few weeks ago a precious friend of mine sent me a beautiful amethyst pendant, first of many in my inventory, indeed!

  I'm already starting to get affectionate with it and feeling it's special proprieties changing my life!

       When I'm not wearing it or meditating with it, I can still feel it cleansing the air of  any negative energies. ^-^

       Amethyst has been known as one the most highly prized forms of quartz. It is the presence of manganese in quartz that produces the purple color, and iron content varies the coloration. 

=Mythology=

"Bacchus", by Anna Dorothea Therbusch

 Bacchus, the god of wine, declared in a rage, that the first person he passes would be eaten by tigers. This turns out to be a beautiful maiden named Amethyst. The goddess Diana quickly turned Amethyst into a white stone to save her from the tigers. Regretting his anger, Bacchus poured red wine over the stone as an offering to Diana, so turning the stone purple. Amethyst has long been associated with relieving hangovers, or curing drunkenness, probably as a result of its wine-like color and the Bacchus tale.

=Healing properties of Amethyst=

      Amethyst is a gemstone often worn by healers, as it has the power to focus energy. A healer will usually wear several pieces of jewelry with amethysts set in silver, especially an amethyst necklace. The person to be healed will have an Amethyst to hold while the healing is being done. The healer will place another piece of Amethyst on the area of the body in need of healing, the heart or lungs usually.

      Amethyst as been also used for problems in the blood and in breathing problems.

Amethyst crystal clusters are used to keep the air and life force in the home clean and positive.
