The Wonder Inside Power Jewelry

Mar 23rd, 2010 Posted in Business | no comment »

Artisan-crafted spiritual healing jewelry is a uniquely attractive addition to any jewelry collection and is a wonderful choice when in search of a meaningful gift for a friend, family member or partner. With healing stones, natural metals, beautifully handmade beads and intentional crafting, metaphysical jewelry has high visual appeal, as well as emotional, spiritual and physical healing properties. Chakra jewelry is created for balancing energies, spiritual rejuvenation and allowing you to adorn yourself with beautiful, handcrafted pieces imbued with healing energies.

Energy medicine is one of the oldest forms of healing and has been used for thousands of years in every part of the world. Long before scientific instruments could measure the energy vibrations of particular stones, ancient cultures and traditional healers were well aware of their healing benefits and employed a wide variety of healing stones in their practices. Those seeking healing were often given an amulet, necklace, bracelet or other form of spiritual healing jewelry containing a combination of natural elements to assist them in overcoming physical, spiritual or emotional blocks or ailments.

The subtle energies and healing qualities of each stone vary and are associated with different aspects of healing or parts of the body. Most commonly, healing stones in natural jewelry are placed in each piece to specifically assist in opening particular chakras or to calm or strengthen energies as needed in regards to the wearer’s particular healing needs. The practice of using spiritual healing jewelry has been carried forward to present times through generations of traditional healers and giving metaphysical jewelry to a loved one in need of healing, or simply to show that you care about their well-being, is becoming increasingly popular.

Aside from giving handcrafted spiritual healing jewelry as a gift and using it in healing practices, purchasing pieces for yourself and wearing them in your daily life is a powerful means of centering, working on personal growth, balancing and focusing energies, and investing in your own emotional and spiritual healing process. Selecting a piece of metaphysical jewelry that you are drawn to is a particularly empowering experience that focuses your intentions and puts forth your desire to open yourself to the healing energies offered by each beautiful stone. Whether you are in search of physical healing for a specific ailment, inner peace and centering, of the ability to more fully express yourself, inspirational jewelry crafted with healing stones will give off subtle energies to assist you in achieving your goals and enhancing your overall health and well-being.

Spiritual healing jewelry is a becoming, convenient way to ensure you are surrounded by the subtle healing energies of stones, metals and other natural elements throughout the day and is a lovely adornment that can swathe you in the centering energies of black tourmaline, or bring you the good fortune of aventurine, the awareness and thought amplification of lapis lazuli, the courage and confidence encouraged by tiger eye, the wisdom brought by sodalite or the protection offered by agate.

Whether you are searching for a gift for a loved one or a piece to add to your own collection, the beauty of spiritual jewelry is that you will always make the right selection. You will be instinctually drawn to the piece of spiritual healing jewelry that is most fitting for the healing that is needed or the intention of the gift. This allows you to rest assured that the metaphysical jewelry you select will be the ideal choice for your or the intended gift recipient.

Believe

Jan 25th, 2010 Posted in Education | no comment »

Beliefs determine how we see, interact and experience the world around us. Beliefs are ideas that are made after repetition and contemplation, that are accepted as truth and reality and therefore impact how we see life.

Beliefs and knowledge are often in conflict. The difference might be subtle, but significant. Knowledge is something that you and others, who might be considered experts in that field, consider to be true and there is reasonable, plausible, and provable scientific explanation for that knowledge.

A belief on the other hand is established on personal experience or faith.

Too many people require you to accept their belief based on blind faith. Belief is not knowledge and therefore usually not provable beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Remember, it wasn’t long ago that people believed the world was flat, and that we thought women were witches, hunted them down, and burned them.

Welcome to belief, which is based on superstitions, or blindness.

Ignorant humans who once believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that it was flat. Really demonstrated that what really was FLAT was the human ability to think outside the box and perceive something that others could not observe.

When scientists discovered great things, hundreds of years ago, they were imprisoned, tortured and murdered. The Catholic Church did not want people to see beyond, and therefore stopped the voices of these researchers.

Actually, during that time in history it was thought to be common knowledge that these ancient flat world beliefs were true. Even though humankind was sincere in its ignorant beliefs, those beliefs were not true and by not believing as the others told you to, you were subject to arrest, imprisonment, and torture which often lead to death.

Times have changed. Today, things that you believe have changed, and you may believe in something so firmly that you count it as knowledge. When, in fact, there may be considerable evidence from the past experience that a particular belief is a truth,” its only truth for you from your personal experience. Just because you believe it is true, does not make it true. Although it might become a truth for you personally, by believing it you are limiting yourself by holding on to self-limiting beliefs.

The trick is to pull back the veil and see the real truth. That is one that is universal and does not need to be believed, it just is. These are referred to as universal truths. They exist and work beyond our own self-limiting beliefs. They forge and work through the universe and in our lives.

Gravity is a truth. Believe in it or not. Its still a real truth. If you drop something it will fall to the ground. If you trip, and fall, you could hurt your butt. You can only fall DOWN, you don’t fall up.

Now this is only a truth that exists here on Earth under normal circumstances. There are other forces that can resist this law such as a strong wind. You may have been programmed since childhood to believe things that you thought to be true – but, once you recognize that they were not true, you may have wondered why you wasted time and energy believing in them at all.

Take the case of Santa Claus. You believed he was real. You believed that by some mystical miracle he went around the world in one night and brought presents to every well-behaved child. You may have further believed that he ate the burnt cookies you left for him and he drank that horrible lactose free milk. You believe that it was all associated to your doing good things and not bad things, and that Santa was, well, almost like God!

There was potent evidence to your faith:

Your parents told you he was real. (You trusted your parents without question)

The cookies were eaten and the milk glass was empty. Also the crumbs disappeared.

There were presents under the Christmas tree by the morning.

You saw Santa at the mall, and you had a photo of Santa to prove it.

Your cousins believed in him too.

All of this evidence pointed toward knowledge, you just knew he existed. It pointed to a truth in that not only did you know he existed, everyone around you knew also. This belief as you found out was not true. It had shaped your view of the world as a child and still may have a lingering impact on your current notion system.

The point is that there are other things that you may believe are true, but are not. You have been told things all your life for a variety of reasons: to make you feel better, to be funny, to hurt you, because other people believed it was true, and for other noble and not so noble reasons. You made the choice whether to believe what was being told you. You weighed this information and decided whether it fit or not into your already existing belief system. You either rejected the idea straight out, accepted it as part of what you already believed, or it changed your belief system.

Beliefs are very powerful, and they do shape our reality. If you believe in something strong enough, it becomes real in your life. There is a universal law that states that likes attract like. If you believe in something strong enough it not only becomes your reality, it attracts similar things to your life.

Suppose you believe you are clumsy. Your parents said you were clumsy, your coach as school did and so did your friends. They told you that you were an accident waiting to happen. You thought this to be true. Your whole life you tripped over your shadow. Not only did you believe this, but you also created the reality and circumstances of being like that.

Examine your beliefs and draw back the veil. “Well, I’ll be. They seem to have repeatedly hypnotized me to trip myself up — all my life” well, I’ll be! And, then you don’t have to be! It’s all your belief.
