Carnival of Healing: July 4th Edition

2009-07-03T12:45:00Z

The Carnival of Healing will be hosted by WP at The Conscious Life tomorrow. What a fun day to host a carnival! I'm wondering if there will be any apple pie, dunking pools, or fireworks!! Okay, so a blog carnival is different from a typical carnival. But, it doesn't mean that our healing carnival doesn't feature goodies. Every Saturday the carnival is filled with a variety of wellness and empowerment topics that feed our souls and ignite our spirits.

What is the Carnival of Healing?

The Carnival of Healing is a weekly round-up of blogs across the Internet featuring information about healing, self empowerment, and spirituality.

Book a Hosting Date
Yes, hosting takes some effort sorting through the various submissions and posting the carnival, but all my hosts have told me that the benefits are worth it. Hosting the carnival brings traffic to your blog, you have the opportunity to meet new friends, and you'll learn a lot when reviewing all the submissions.
Book your hosting date.

Note: Carnival of Healing Editions are always posted on Saturdays. I realize that weekends are busy for many people and that getting to a computer is not always easy on Saturday. If you don't want to miss a carnival you can subscribe to my Holistic Healing Weekly Newsletter that is delivered to your email box on Tuesday mornings. A link is always provided to the current carnival edition.

Looking Back: Last week the Carnival of Healing was hosted by Ranjana Jha, Just About Everything.
Looking Forward: Next edition of the carnival (July 11th) will be hosted by Jenn Givler at Movement As A Way In

Are Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides the Same Thing?

2009-07-02T14:36:55Z

~ ~ ASK AN INTUITIVE ~ ~
Free Advice from Angel Intuitive, Christopher James Dilts

Dear Christopher,
Is a guardian angel the same thing as a spirit guide? What is my spirit guide's name? Do we have more than one guardian angel?

Thanks,
Deborah

Dear Deborah,
A Guardian Angel is a specific type of "Spirit Guide." Spirit Guide refers to a general category of beings who are in soul, or spirit form and not in physical form. Guardian Angels are direct expressions of the loving thoughts of God sent to us to watch over us and help us. They are pure love and bring to us only what will help us, guide us, protect us and encourage us to aspire to the very best qualities of our soul.

Guardian Angels are with us before our conception, when we, too, are in soul form. They accompany us through birth and are with us in every thought, word and event we experience in life. Guardian Angels are committed to us for the entire journey of our life - they never leave us and we are their only occupation. They will be with us when we leave this life and when we are, again, a soul in heaven.

Everyone I have ever met has had at least two Guardian Angels and often more. Talk to your Guardian Angels even before you know their names. Practice communicating with them and have patience. If you practice sensing, listening, envisioning, imagining and consciously intending to have lucid dreams with your Guardian Angels, you will sense them ever more clearly and eventually hear, sense or know their names.

Saint Augustine said, "Make friends with Angels."

Treat your Guardian Angels just as you would your dearest, most loving friends. Take your time and gradually build your relationship with them. Remember that when you take one step toward them, they take 10 steps to you!

There are 3 Guardian Angels with you as I write this and they are also helping co-ordinate other 'Angel teams' that are helping you with several aspects of your life. Welcome them as allies who will help you in every part of your life.

Best Wishes and Angel Blessings!

Learn the Sanskrit names and color associations of each of the seven major chakras
An affirmation is given for each chakra. Read the chakra affirmation statement outloud or silently to yourself while your eyes focus on the chakra image. The combination of focusing on these images and reading the affirmation statements is intended to help you connect to the life pulse of your wheels of life.
Visit the Chakra Symbol Gallery
Drawings and paintings of chakra symbols are usually depicted as wheels or lotus flowers. Each chakra will appear separate from one another. But, if you were able to view your chakras energetically you would notice that the chakras will naturally blend or bleed into one another. Chakras not only open and close, they will also expand and retract. When a chakra expands the boundaries separating it from its neighboring chakra/s can become blurred. As the chakras move and interact with one another the colorful imagery might remind you of peering through a kaleidoscope.

Carnival of Healing #195

2009-06-27T03:11:07Z
The Carnival of Healing will be assembling over at Just About Everything today. Your host is Ranjana Jha. Ranjana's blog is a personal journal "about everything under the sun." I usually camp out near a computer on Saturdays until the carnival is posted so that I can post a few highlights. But, my plans for today will demand my attention elsewhere which is why I'm posting early in the day before the sun rises. I'll let the adventure be yours to explore this week's carnival attractions without my guidance. Say hey to Ranjana for me!

Struggling With Boundary Issues

2009-06-25T00:17:29Z
~ ~ ASK AN INTUITIVE ~ ~
Free Advice from Intuitive Life Coach, Jaelin K. Reece

Dear Jaelin,

I am dealing with two problems. (1) How can I turn around my issues with money and lack of? (2) I am a healer and am struggling with understanding energetic boundaries. I am also an empath and and have tried every boundary ritual I've ever heard of. I often end up sick, or taking on the traumas or emotions of the one I am healing. Will I ever get this or is healing the wrong work for me?

Cherrie

Dear Cherrie,
It feels to me that your two questions have a common core issue, a lack of being fully grounded in your body. When you are asking the Universe to provide for your physical needs, it can provide only as much as you are embodied within your physical layer.

When you reside in the outer layers of your energy field, and not fully within your inner-most physical layer, you are open to mesh with other people's energies. Energy boundary exercises will not assist you in retaining a level of separation from your clients until you ground yourself fully into your body.

I would suggest focusing your attention on creating a deeper relationship with your body. Practice grounding exercises, such as hugging trees, working to strengthen your root chakra, wearing hematite stones, etc. The more focus you put on embodiment, the greater ease you will have with retaining your energy boundaries. You will also be affirming to the Universe that you are more present, therefore require more to provide for your needs.

Grounding Flower Essences

A blend of flower essences that assist with embodiment (grounding) I have found beneficial are Clematis, Rosemary and Nasturtium.

Blessings!

Telepathic Trash Collectors

2009-06-23T00:59:33Z
From My Mail Box

My husband and I have been practicing meditation. We have slightly different beliefs and practices so we use the same time slot but do not meditate together. Lately we have noticed something that is "not helpful" for the happiness of our home life. It seems that one of us will dump thoughts, feelings and say maybe worries, the other will end up with these feelings, thoughts and worries. So I take out the trash and he brings it in and vice-versa. We did not think this could happen if we created sacred space for ourselves and sent our "yuckies" to Mother Earth for recycling. Today we used candle flame to send our nasties for disposal and it made a huge difference. We both emerged happy and refreshed. So, what do you think happened and any other suggestions.
Regards,
J.N.

Dear J.N.,
How wonderful that you and your husband practice meditation. My first impression is that the two of you are telepathic receivers with empathic tendencies. It is not uncommon for couples to have telepathic connections. This is a good thing, Really! While in meditation, your mind is quieted. A quiet mind creates the perfect atmosphere for picking up thought forms. Some people believe (I'm a believer!) that our thought forms can live and linger in the energy grid for months and even years. The freshest thoughts are usually the easiest to pick up which is why each of you feel that you are transferring thoughts or rather DUMPING stuff onto your partner. Neither of you are actually dumping on one another, but both of you ARE apparently collecting. When worrisome thoughts crop up during your meditation session that do not belong to you I suggest you don't push back or attempt to block them, just allow them to float on by like a feather adrift. Watch it but don't attempt to catch it. In other words, simply notice them briefly, then refocus.
Meditation in general is a practice that opens us up to our intuitive natures. Take care that you are not setting yourself up to receiving from any direction rather than specifically asking for guidance from your power source (God, angels, higher self, inner knowing, etc.). When the door is open to "whatever" it is only natural that you two would be drawing in what the other is dumping. My advice is before meditating for you to set your intentions to receive information, answers, solace, or whatever you are open to receiving to ONLY come from your power source. Although you created separate sacred spaces for your meditation practice, it sounds as if you unintentionally left the energetic channel wide open. Thus you became a vehicle for energetic dumping. Would you let just anyone walk into your home? Meditation (also channeling) is an invitation for energies to enter your being... it is wise to limit your guest list.
I think you did a very smart thing lighting a candle to burn the nasties, very creative intention. And it worked! What I like to do is mentally intention any negative thoughts or "nasties" to be placed inside a bubble of protection and send the bubble into the white light for cleansing and transformation.
