How To Undertake Divination Insights #3

 So, we have a new 'answer board' before us, and it is your intention to gain insight into all available information relating to the situation.

Before you even LOOK at the answer board, it is vital to set up your BASE LINE ... how do you feel right now? What aches and pains have you got? What state of mind?

It is critical to take some time to assess your base line. Because, once you look at the answer board, it could all change ...

Those changes in thoughts, feelings, body status could be important insights.

Once you are ready, take in the nine images and see how they are affecting you. If we start with sadness and shock as the first impressions from the answer board. Disbelief and anger ....

But why? And from who ... you might get something different, which is fine ... take note of your first impressions. 

Now look at the the middle card. It looks like a snake slithering through a kitchen as there are kitchen utensils. There are also dried reed grass strands hanging on the wall behind the snake. This is the rune Beorc which is new beginnings.

We should literally analyse this as it is seen ... a snake (Untrustworthy person) is seen walking through a kitchen. There are new beginnings beckoning for the person. The reeds are the reminder of what has happened, or is going to happen.

The dried grass? What does that relate to? Is it evidence? Is it a thought in someone's mind?

Remember this first impression and add it to the feelings we got .... so we are building a picture of the situation... around the new beginnings are sadness, shock, disbelief and anger.

We gaze immediately down at the reference to turbulent water ... and above to the image of the cleansing fire with mountains behind. The top is Daeg and see that the fire in the foregound matches the flames in the background. Daeg = day and signifies in this instance some kind of instructed response or doing what we are told to do; or say what we are told to say. This adds intrigue to the situation as it implies foul play.

What are you getting at this point?

Lagu reversed at the bottom and the turbulence of water and a boat in trouble. Is this symbology or an actual event? That is the question as it is the clue to what caused the new beginnings .... what has been said seems to be different to what really went on and the snake (Untrustworthy person) is going along with it. 

Waves at sea appear to be related to what really took place and a vessel on that sea. 

Looking in the past ... the horse bolting due to a lightning flash. Literal or symbolic? This appears as an indicator of the shock that is to come; the warning bells ringing. Eh is also related to personal power or the power someone has in their life .... 

The runes above and below are Yr and Nyd. Nyd shows a pair of worn shoes which suggests some kind of financial hardship forcing someone into a course of action indicated elsewhere in the answer board.

Yr can relate to personal journeys and fulfillment of projects. As an old yew tree dies, a new one grows within its decaying structure. It means that outward appearances have been deceptive as what really is going on is hidden out of view within a current venture. The untrustworthy man had sinister and hidden roots which are implicated in this situation.

But what is the situation? Have you figured that out yet? The current new beginnings or end of an old chapter and the start of a new one ... are not how they seem. A horse is likely to bolt when there is a lightning flash ... which suggests tremendous pressure and an individual prone to wanting to run or was not stable in their situation. To some that would be seen a person who is a liability. 

The forward images ... a new beginning for the snake (Untrustworthy person) is potential fertile plans and opportunities. The gift card suggests gifts and unexpected options for this person. Hearth reversed suggests the snake will be able to now afford to move home and go out of sights in a new town/country.

A Word On 'Aura Soma'

 The very name Aura-Soma indicates that this system is intimately connected with this subject.

The name was received in inspiration soon after the birth of the first bottles. "Aura" means "an emanation" or "energy field", a field that is commonly perceived in terms of light and colour. "Soma" means "body" as in "psychosomatic" for example.

The name Aura-Soma declares the intention of the system and the potential it offers: a connection between an energy field - light - and the body. As "Aura" and "Soma" are connected by the hyphen, so the light field and the body are not separate but in fact two aspects of a deeper underlying unity, part of one energy continuum.

This idea is no longer foreign to the world of science, but is borne out by the quantum physicists who work at the cutting edge of the scientific investigation into the nature of reality. Since the turn of this century their discoveries have seen an evolution in scientific understanding leading to the awareness that the smallest building blocks of life are not really solid at all but are forces of energy. It is work that has the most profound implications for how we see ourselves and the universe around us.

The physical world, of which the body is a part, is ultimately not solid or constant but simply the product of an energy field. A field within which forces of energy seem to turn on and off at random, causing the smallest particles to appear and disappear. This is almost impossible to truly comprehend since at our level of reality it implies that everything of the material world - including our physical bodies, everything that provides structure and solidity, is potentially twinkling in and out of existence. Thus at the most profound level of reality science is finding a light / body interface.

Let's explore further how light and colour interface with the material world in which we live. The world is full of coloured objects. With the technological wizardry available to us today colour has largely become superficial, a consumer choice in the material world, an incidental to the substance and structure of each object. However in the natural world, a world which in reality we remain merely a part, colour can be seen to provide a fundamental clue to the real nature of each thing. Colour operates as a signature to inform the beholder of the object's gifts and qualities. The violet of lavender and amethyst for example indicating the soothing quality of each.

It is called the Science of Signatures and its secrets and knowledge have been passed on down through the ages albeit in a quiet way.

Within Aura-Soma colour is not superficial but the key to the whole system. Until each empty bottle receives its oil and water fractions it is indistinguishable from every other empty bottle. In Equilibrium it is the colours (sometimes bright, sometimes subtle, always beautiful) that make the difference. However what is particularly striking about the colours in Equilibrium is that they are illuminated by light passing through them. While all material objects are coloured, it is nearly always a reflection of light off the outer surface that we see.

Bodies are material and light bounces off matter. Light and matter are different, separate. Yet with something transparent such as Equilibrium this distinction begins to break down. Here light is able to shine through matter.....<<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

How to Practice Self-Observation (Prompts and Meditation)

 Self-observation seems pretty basic and even a little mediocre or like some pedestrian psychological technique on the surface.

But in my many years of exploring and walking the inner path, I’ve found that self-observation is THE most crucial practice, skill, and undertaking EVER. Full stop. Period. Fini!

At the time of writing, this might not be common knowledge, but there are actually two levels to self-observation – the latter being largely unknown to most people.

I’m going to show you how to practice both types of self-observation in this guide so that you come to the irrevocable conclusion that many through the ages have discovered there is ultimately no “you” or separate self; there is only life living itself!

(I know this may sound odd, but it’s at the crux of most spiritual and religious paths; it’s just put in different ways: the kingdom of heaven, Self-realization, moksha, anatta, oneness, etc.).

Firstly, let’s get the basic definition out of the way...<<<Read More>>>...

Breaking Free from Negative Thoughts: Strategies for a Positive Mindset

 Negative thoughts can be overwhelming and can have a significant impact on our lives. They can interfere with our ability to enjoy life, affect our relationships with others, and even lead to physical health problems. Although integrating your shadow self (and with it any negative personal traits) is important for spiritual development, being trapped in a cyle of negative thoughts helps nobody. Here’s how to recognise if you have a problem – and how to break free if you do.

Identify Negative Thought Patterns

Negative thoughts can be difficult to identify, especially if they are deeply ingrained. The first step in breaking free from negative thoughts is to become aware of them. Start by paying attention to the language you use when you talk to yourself. Do you tend to use negative words and phrases? Do you focus on the worst-case scenario? Negative thinking patterns can manifest in many different ways, such as black and white thinking, overgeneralization, and personalization.

Black and white thinking involves seeing things in absolutes – things are either all good or all bad. Overgeneralization involves making broad assumptions based on limited evidence. Personalization involves taking things personally and assuming that other people’s actions are directed towards you. By understanding the different types of negative thinking patterns, you can start to recognize them in your own thoughts....<<<Read More>>>....

Blessing Space

 Physical space acts like a sponge, absorbing the radiant of all who pass through it. And, more likely than not, the spaces we move through each day have seen many people come and go. We have no way of knowing whether the energy footprints left behind by those who preceded us will invigorate us or drain us. Yet we can control the energy footprint we leave behind for others. In blessing each space we enter, we orchestrate a subtle energy shift that affects not only our own experiences in that space but also the experiences of the individuals who will enter the space after us. While we may never see the effects our blessing has had, we can take comfort in the fact that we have provided grace for those that follow after us.

When you bless a room or an entire building, you leave a powerful message of love and light for all those who will come after you. Your blessings thus have myriad effects on the environments through which you pass. Old, stagnant energy is cleared, creating a vacuum into which fresh and invigorating energy can freely flow. The space is thus rendered harmonious and nourishing, and it becomes a hub from which positive feelings are transmitted. Intent is the key component of the blessings you leave in your physical wake. If your intent involves using your own consciousness as a tool for selflessly spreading grace, your blessings will never go awry. Whether you feel more comfortable performing a solo blessing or prefer to call upon your spirit guides for assistance, visualize each space you enter becoming free of toxins, chaos, and negativity as you speak your blessing. Then imagine the resultant emptiness being replaced by pure, healing white light and loving energy. Even a quick mindful thought of love can bless a space.

This type of blessing is cumulative and will grow each time you bestow it. Try blessing every home, business, and office you visit for an entire week and observing the effects of your goodwill. Your affirmative energy footprint will help brighten your day as you contemplate your blessing’s future impact on your siblings in humanity and your environment...<<<Read More>>>...

How To Use A Crystal Ball

 It’s the stereotypical image of a fortune teller – a woman in a headscarf, waving her hands over a crystal ball and conjuring up images of that elusive tall, dark, handsome stranger – but a crystal ball is still to this day a very useful tool to have in your psychic box. Crystal ball gazing is accessible to everyone, and although difficult at first, it’s definitely something which improves with practice.

If you’re new to crystal ball gazing or learning how to scry, the images probably won’t make sense at first or you might not see images at all.  Don’t let this frustrate you. Crystal ball gazing takes time and practice to perfect.  The more you practice on using your crystal ball, the better you will get.

When you are ready, hold the crystal ball for just a moment, and relax. If you have a specific question in mind, ask it in your mind now, or just ask for you to be shown whatever will be helpful to you at this time.

Then place the ball onto its stand, or onto a dark cushion or cloth. And gaze. Literally.

You need to stare at the ball intently. Try not to blink or to look away. Hold your gaze. It doesn’t matter (in fact it might even help) if your eyes become unfocused. If you’re good at the Magic Eye pictures, you’ll be great at crystal gazing! It may take some time, but eventually you should start to see a mist form in or over the crystal ball. At this point, don’t break your concentration – the mist should clear quickly.

After the mist, you will start to see images. Remember – these images are in your mind, not in the ball itself. You may feel as though they are in the ball, and don’t break your gaze, but what you’re really seeing is in your third eye.

Don’t try to interpret the images you see as they come along, or you will break the concentration. Just let the images come and go. When the session is over, trust that you will remember the most important ones.

After a moment or two, the images will start to fade; the mist may return or you might just get nothing. At this point, you can finally relax your gaze. Look away and readjust your eyes. Then as quickly as you feel able, write down the images which came to mind, to be interpreted later. Get up, move around, turn on the lights....<<<Read More>>>...

How to Practice Self-Inquiry (“Who Am I?”) Meditation

 Within a lot of spiritual circles, we hear terms like “inner peace” and “Oneness” thrown around a lot.

In search of these fantastical ideas that promise relief from suffering, we hop around from one retreat, workshop, teacher, or book to another … and another, and another.

Eventually, many spiritual seekers end up with a kind of “spiritual hangover” or inexplicable type of exhaustion that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how much yoga, trauma healing, plant medicine, and other alternative therapies we do.


In fact, it gradually dawns on us that peeling back the onion of the self seems to be a never-ending process. It seems to be that the more we try to self-heal, the more we find to heal.
It’s onions all the way down.

And in a sense, we’re being given the poison and sold the cure. So with this kind of disillusionment, with this kind of never-ending self-perpetuating quest for more-more-more, where do we go next? What do we do? How do we slow down? How do we stop...<<<Read More>>>...

What is Aura-soma?

 Aura-Soma is a self-selective, non- intrusive system that uses the visual and non - visual combined energies of:

• Colour
• Essential oils and extracts from plants and herbs
• Crystals
• Gemstones
• Scent from aromatic flowers and plants

to bring you closer to the understanding who you are and support you on your journey through life. It is appropriate for all ages and life stages. The products in the system support the subtle energy that surrounds your physical body. These energies can be easily disrupted by:

Stress - emotional, physical, mental. 

Electromagnetic fields from electronic devices

People

Places

How does the system work? 

In Aura Soma we say "You are the colours you choose and these reflect your beings needs"  By choosing 4 from the 113 bottles available, a trained Aura Soma practitioner can interpret the language of the colour unique to you and your life experiences, past, present, and indications for your future. It's important to know this is not a psychic reading but rather a conversation between you and the practitioner about the possibilities of what your colours selections symbolize in relation to the events in your life. Once all 4 bottles are discussed the client chooses which bottle(s) will be taken home for personal use, although only one bottle is used on the physical body at a time....<<<Read More>>>...

The 9 Stages of Spiritual Self-Realization

 Self-realization is one of those phrases that we hear on the spiritual path that goes in one ear and out the other. We don’t give it much thought, yet it’s at the very heart of EVERYTHING.

Without seeing Self-Realization as the ultimate goal of the spiritual awakening journey, our paths are vague, blurry, and disjointed.

We don’t really know why we’re doing what we’re doing. And if we do have some faint reason, we never feel truly satisfied because everything we obtain, all the spiritual brownie points we collect, ultimately feel empty and disappointing.

In fact, when we lose sight of the importance of Self-Realization, our spiritual paths are nothing but one distraction after another.  We become spiritual consumers, dabbling here and there in attractive spiritual “products,” without ever really diving deep.

I call this “Rabbit Hole Spirituality”: like Alice in Wonderland, we’re constantly falling into endless rabbit holes of new trends, exciting practices, and sparkly feel-good philosophies.

But the reality is that we’re lost in a surface world full of superficiality, and eventually, something new will come along and catch our eye, and off into another Rabbit Hole we’ll fall.

Thankfully, there are paths out there that are aligned with a deeper form of spirituality – and all of them lead to Self-Realization in one way or another.

If you’re not quite sure what the hell Self-Realization is, or how to experience it, keep reading....<<<Read More>>>....

7 ways to Innovate for Evolutionary Success

 Right now, with everything that’s going on in the world, you simply cannot remain the same – to expect today will turn out just like it did yesterday. The risk is to be caught in the machinations of the shadowside in society – to have to dance to its tune. Instead of making progressive innovations that whilst maybe small, nevertheless lead to big shifts in you, and therefore in your life.

Here’s the challenge to truly innovate your life to spiritual success:

Genuinely not needing a specific outcome; instead, giving yourself wholeheartedly, 100%, without reservation to the path that naturally wants to happen.

You feel it in little ways: how to be different in a relationship, either with family or at work; taking a different route to work and seeing what you notice; spending alone time free-wheeling without the need of a particular objective or destination; developing your daily meditation practice; changing your diet; creating things simply for the joy of it.

All of these things will lead to small incremental shifts of consciousness – the progressive embodiment of soul, and therefore new intuitive changes in the way you create your life....<<<Read More>>>...

Making Time for a Daily Spiritual Practice: How and Why to Devote Your Time

 In theory, a daily spiritual practice of some kind sounds great. In theory, it’s a blessing in your busy day. Some time out just for you, to focus on your own spiritual growth, and to deepen your personal connection with your own divinity. Blissful.

In theory.

In practice, in a busy life where it’s already a struggle to fit in competing demands on your time, a spiritual practice is often one of the first things to bite the dust. You can’t put off collecting the kids from school or meeting that work deadline, and you’d rather not put off date night with your partner either. But the spiritual practice? That can wait, right?

Yes, it could. And it’s not likely to ever be one of the most urgent demands on your time – but finding the time to fit in a daily spiritual practice brings so many rewards and benefits that you might change your mind about what to ditch and what to prioritise....<<<Read More>>>...

An Introduction To Psychic Breathing

There are some breathing exercises intended to absorb large amount of prana or Chi, open the chakras and develop psychic powers. You have to breath in rhythm, different books on the subject presents different sequence . 

 We advise to choose a rhythm that you can accommodate and follow. There are simple breathing and some are more complex the complex techniques are dangerous, you need someone experienced to do them with you. 

Here is a not too complicated exercise, lying flat on the floor or bed, completely relaxed, with hands resting lightly over the Solar Plexus (over the pit of the stomach, where the ribs begin to separate), breathe rhythmically. After the rhythm is fully established, will that each inhalation will draw in an increased supply of prana or vital energy from the Universal supply, which will be taken up by the nervous system and stored in the Solar Plexus. 

At each inhalation, will that the prana or vital energy is being distributed all over the body, to every organ and part; to every muscle, cell and atom; to nerve, artery and vein; from the top of your head to the soles of your feet; invigorating, strengthening and stimulating every nerve; recharging every nerve centre; sending energy, force and strength all over the system. While exercising the will, try to form a mental picture of the in rushing prana, coming in through the lungs and being taken up at once by the Solar Plexus, then with the exhaling effort, being sent to all parts of the system, down to the finger tips and down to the toes. It is not necessary to use the Will with an effort.

Simply commanding that which you wish to produce and then making the mental picture of it is all that is necessary. Calm command with the mental picture is far better then forcible willing, which only dissipates force needlessly. The above exercise is most helpful and greatly refreshes and strengthens the nervous system and produces a restful feeling all over the body. It is especially beneficial in cases where one is tired or feels a lack of energy. (Source)
