Healing Energy

2011-03-12T20:49:00.000+13:00

This mantra or positive affirmation came to me while I was doing some self-reiki. The healing energy seemed to flow stronger while I was saying it.

"I am happy. I am healthy."

"I am beautiful, I am gorgeous."

"I am fine, I am spiritual, I am okay."

Thought that might be of value to some of you.

Thanks Maria.

On School of Thoughts

2011-03-04T16:11:00.000+13:00

Our thoughts come to us at any time of the day. At night, we have dreams. Hence our minds operate randomly when it comes to thoughts. When we remember and recall things, it is part of a thought process too. When we recall about good things that invigorate and inspire us, we call those positive thoughts. As you can see, this is a very random process.

At times, we feel helpless when there is a deluge of negative thoughts coming out of no where. Its something we don't want, but these negative thoughts just overcome us. It can be at a social setting, an office meeting or while driving along the highway.

Now let Maria Duval share with you some ways in which these negative thoughts can be contained.

You need to do is learn to stop thinking about it all of the time. There are always two side of a coin or the half empty or half full example. Our minds are flexible and the more better side of the thought you exert, the better it will be naturally.

Take for example, you are in debt. Instead of lamenting how much money is used to pay off these liabilities, you can adjust and tell yourself you are getting richer each month as you pay them off. It is same situation but the state of thought has changed completely!

Every person has to take control of his or her own thoughts!

Maria Duval challenges you to seize back control of your thoughts, and turn this into a habit and an automatic process to gain on the ever increasing positives that you have in your life.

Spiritual Inside

2010-12-18T20:56:00.001+13:00

Your spiritual side needs as a lot of fostering as your body or your mind. Usually, we're more conscious that our body is getting out of form or that our thoughts wants some excitements, but it's more tough to find out when your spirit is lacking and what to do about it. Discovering spirituality for your every day life will end in an improved outlook on life and really make you much better outfitted to improve your body and mind. You'll be able to discover stability in life and be better capable of define your true self and lead the perfect life possible.

If we're disconnected from our spirit, we are leaving ourselves open to the damaging influences within the world. A each day dedication to your spiritual nourishment will certainly get you on the right track to leading a beautiful life. Nourishing your spiritual self is as important as nourishing your body. That every day commitment can come in a variety of forms to best suit your personal tastes

Once you have received some regular spiritual connections in your life, you can see that you've got better control of your life and that you may create a life that is more suited to your true self. You may be better able to block out the detrimental influences and begin bringing activities and people into your life that will make you better outfitted to cope with the trials and tribulations of life. Whether it is just a little "bump within the street" or an ongoing battle with depression, anger or detrimental thinking, discovering spirituality will allow you to be able to eliminate the stuff that is taking away the enjoyment of life and open up your thoughts to all of the positive aspects of life.

Smile and Self-Confidence Is A Must

2010-12-03T19:09:00.004+13:00

Should you ask a very assured individual what makes her or him that way or what do they do to be self-assured, they may likely be unable to answer. That's because all they do derives naturally to them and in fact, it is extremely natural. Have you ever ever observed intently a 2 year old or perhaps a smaller child? They project self-confidence and that is because no one taught them the best way to be otherwise. To be confident is natural and it's in our nature to smile. Thanks, Maria Duval for that.

A smile tells a lot. It communicates that you simply like what you see but most importantly that you are at ease with yourself and calm. I am speaking about an actual, warm smile not a pretend and tense one. The form of smile that begins from the eyes, not from the mouth. The type that lasts in your face. In case your whole face smiles and appears calm, people will learn into it and understand that you are confident enough to take pleasure in whatever you're then enjoying. Additionally, a smile will make you feeling better and blissful people are also so much more positive.

Try to maintain a lightweight smile in your face on a regular basis, however don`t pretend it. Individuals will detect a fake smile or gesture a mile away. Smile like you accept the world you're part of and like you really enjoy spending time with the people who are in front of you. You'll notice that they'll relate in a much nicer way when you smile and that may enhance your self-confidence more.

Is the block setting in?

2010-11-03T18:16:00.003+13:00

Sadly to say that I ain't able to keep up with this blog last couple of months. Things have been going so smoothly in life, partly due to Maria Duval's guidance, that I feel I am in a highway all the time. Yes, it is fast and thrilling and not much for me to come here to grudge about.

I guess that the positive aspect is that there is always a safe "normal" state to fall back into in my life. It strikes out to me that the most people usually behave in a continual level of being tired and numb, running through their daily routine without noticing anything that seems worth thinking or remarking about.

Maybe it is due to the tiredness setting in taking, but the more I think about it, the truer it seems that even the folks I find friendly tend to tell the same kind of stories, or even the exact same stories, over and over.

This brings me to wonder since it's been about three years of blogging. Am I back to the same square yet again and repeat all over? While the particular details have changed a bit, is it essentially the same story, told over and over. It's just like boiling the same soup but using another dose of ingredients.

How Can A Psychic Help You Make Sense Of Your Life?

2010-10-05T20:37:00.001+13:00

Each person's life is filled with a number of activities, events and worries. Sometimes we try dealing with so many things at once that we become muddled and confused and life simply doesn't seem to make any sense any more. Other times we may be going through a rough spot in a career or personal relationship and our feelings over what is happening now blinds us to what may be at the other side of these very real problems. A Psychic can help you refocus on those things that are important and help you make sense of your life.

Career

You may be unhappy with your career or job. Perhaps, you were overlooked for that promotion you felt you have worked for and deserved. Perhaps, you have been offered another job by another company and simply can't decide to stay with the job you have or take the offer. Maybe, you have a good job that pays well but, simply feel unhappy with your job and dread going to work each day.

While the solutions to all these problems may lay before you, your worries just won't let you see what you should do. A Psychic may be able to help you clarify your feelings and see that which you are overlooking. Once you become aware of that missing part, your career and the choices you need to make become clear. You will then be able to proceed with confidence knowing that you are headed in the right direction or at least how to change direction.

Relationships

Everyone from time to time has worries and problems with their relationships. You and your spouse may be having problems and you may be wondering how to heal the relationship or end it. Perhaps, you are always choosing the wrong person to have a relationship with and getting hurt.

Maybe, your difficulty is with a child or a sibling and you simply don't know what to do to make things better. A skilled Psychic can help you understand what makes you repeat the same mistakes over and over and how to overcome them. They can help you to see how your fears or anger may be preventing you from having the relationship you want to have.

In General

A Psychic may not help you with any of those problems in particular they may just help you to see those things you should be focusing on and the big picture rather than dwelling on minute problems. They may simply point out to you the tools you have to find the answers yourself and how to use those tools to your best advantage.

A Psychic helps you make sense out of your life simply by helping you refocus on those things that will take you down the path you want to go and remind you what tools you have to get you there. They do this by helping you understand your past mistakes, see your current situation more clearly and help you to know what may lie ahead depending on the choices you make.

Someone has better life than you?

2010-09-24T19:25:00.004+12:00

We always think that our lives would be so much different and better if we were so and so. I think this mentality is plain wrong and silly. We have got to accept who we are and live on with our lives. I am referring to those who are living quite a decent life and meals to eat everyday. We should be grateful instead to the Higher Spiritual for ample providence.

Sometimes when you switch on the TV or flip the papers, you would see so many less fortunate people feeling the famine, war, flood, drought and all soughts of unfortunate events. Aren't they are 10 time worse then you?

Many people regard life as an adventure with lots of surprises. Yes. However, we still should view life with our own eyes rather than thinking about other's presumably better lives. Life has so much to offer to you and think what you have for life in return. What do you really want to do in life?

I am grateful with my life and every mess in it, because without them, my life would be empty and nobody wants to lead an empty life. So next time you complain about the tiny little problems you have, remember that it's better than no problem at all.

Then the second best thing to be grateful is family. Whoever you are, wherever you are or whomever you are with, always remember that family means home and vice versa. At the end of the day, just look for the people who stick around for you and smile.

A Sincere Advice To Persevere; Never Give Up

2010-08-24T21:40:00.001+12:00

One of the most important qualities in order to be successful is doggedness. This is a very thin line between any success or failure. Many great men from the past like Edison would not have been what they were if they had not persevered and persisted to work towards their life purpose and goals not afraid of any obstacles that might be approaching their way.

That's is to say if you manage to persevere and overcome the odds, in some way you will be richly rewarded later in your life. However, no one can tell you when this rich reward will come by . There is a lot of permutations and factors and perseverance is one of them. So do have good trust in yourself and ability, and don't flash giving up in your mind when you are stuck at the first hurdle or when things are not going smoothly.

As you encounter setbacks in life, do share these unfortunate moments with more learned souls who have come and gone through these life lessons as well. They will be able to guide you and give you valuable advices. Self improvement guru Maria Duval says this is the fastest way to learn any life lesson. Through this kind of mentoring, self doubts won't come in and take over you that comfortably. This will inject into you an even stronger dosage of self belief.

Many battles have been triumphant at the death, even though the opening duels finished in demoralising defeats . So if you do not succeed the first time, try and try again! Pin it to yourself as a impermanent setback, a chapter that points to you the right way to do it and learn from it.

Firmly entrenched in your memory that many great sportsmen, scientists, and experts in their own professions all met defeats in earlier stages of their path to successes. They built from here and went on to fulfil an illustrious life!

Be prompted that persevering does not mean wearing yourself out frantically and directionlessly . Neither does it mean adhering to your goals at all expenses to the anguish of your wellness or loved ones , and to the point where you altogether neglect your social life.

Cocentrating on your life purpose also means being both strong in your decisions and focused on your aim, but nevertheless capable of adapting and reconsidering if the changing goal post size and magnitude of obstacles of life make this necessary.

In this aspect, I surmise you will be able to know that whatsoever outcomes that happen, it will be useful to you in some way. Everything has a grounds and meaning for you to find out as you track the path of life. You will then recognise how the world could be your buddy. Ultimately, it is the the Universe that provides for your needs and takes care of everyone.

Positive Affirmation Techniques - Are They The Route to Success?

2010-08-04T15:46:00.001+12:00

Spiritual affirmations means trying to achieve as much airtime as a route to success. However, for the mainstream population, spiritual affirmation techniques are still little understood. As such, there are more published media produced about it to reminder people of its spiritual usefulness to invigorate one's mentality towards success.

So, first off, who implements positive affirmation techniques? Well, people who have succeeded, mostly.

Spiritual affirmation methods are not new. Affirmation methods have been implemented for several hundreds of years in history, and even thousands of years, by individuals seeking success for themselves and the greater populace.

Furthermore, it seems that the outcomes of affirmation methods are still discussed hotly. Some believe they can be theoretically shown to work, others say they are complete waste of time.

Maria Duval has always been a trusted advisor in positive affirmation techniques. She introduced the methods to people all over the globe and many have since gained successes, positive changes in terms of relationships, personal financial growth and career.

Positive Affirmation techniques have effected huge changes in many people's lives which can't be neglected. That said, a huge army of people who have used affirmation have found no positive benefits. We should be allowed to interrogate why not. I know it works for me.

Are most individuals just getting the basics inaccurate? Is the information wrong? Are the scenarios we find ourselves in incorrect? Or is there a overview that ranges the whole symbiosis of methods for anyone who cares to believe in this system?

To put it at its elementary level, affirmation relates a conscious command directed to the subconscious. In the subconscious mind the verve of conscious thoughts are accepted. Subconscious thoughts then become something harmonious and are conditioned into effect without any conscious thoughts. In all, you determine the way you are.

Why is that important? Well, because to influence other men, you must be totally natural. Otherwise they will pick up that something is incorrect, that your behaviour is coerced. And that is the basis of spiritual affirmation methods. They are positively conscious techniques which become natural and subconscious. However, anything you relate consciously to the subconscious must be regarded by the subconscious as acceptable and entirely credible. If you try and convince the subconscious that you are an operatic diva when in fact you sing like a crow, it just won't be accepted.

So that's what affirmation techniques are all about. They are simply a way of telling ourselves that we are good enough tocapable of what we could actually do in any case, if it weren't for our self-consciousness. I know I haven't ventured into any specific techniques, but let me assure you that they have worked for me. I was terribly self-conscious and self deprecating ten years ago, though I knew I had a good brain and personality. I was earning the minimum wage. Now I run a very successful private investigations bureau.

That is about the most brilliant I think I can accomplish given my strengths. Other people who have heeded affirmation techniques are, or have been, presidents, business talents and some just much better moms and dads. Affirm, don't decline.

Tarot and Psychic Readings

Being a psychic reader is one accredited profession one can ever practice. The profession is really active as it offers various methods and choices for carrying out the scope of work.

Psychic tarot readings involve doing psychic readings with special instruments known as psychic tarot cards. The cards are not just like any other cards, they composed of symbols and pictures. The cards are seventy eight in number and are composed of different pictures and symbols. The pictures and symbols may somehow resemble each other but they are of course different, they are seventy eight in number. Each card has a unique symbol and colour which it is connected with. The symbols and pictures in the cards make a meaning which only the tarot reader can decode in the process of conducting psychic tarot readings.

Financial Success and Spiritual Affirmations

2010-07-22T20:00:00.002+12:00

Spiritual Affirmations are a superb way to firm up self confidence and at the same time instilling the behavior of taking control of your thoughts and can be very fun. Many great philosophers and commanders have uttered something like "You become what you think about most of the time" So if you are not experiencing your ideal life at this moment that's okay just reprogram your thoughts and you can change your life.

Repeat the following out loud while looking at yourself in the mirror every day first thing in the morning and last thing at night before bed for the next 21 days.If you skip one morning or one evening, you have to start over from square one.

If you think you can accept a new challenge, Maria Duval suggests 50 days and 50 nights. You can do this! We are slaves to our own habits.Of course we hope they are positive habits.

Also, it is relevant to note that to benefit the maximum out of this little game, you will want to mix emotions and feeling when stating your affirmations. Get Fired Up! Endless chances of abundance is approaching your life.

People enjoy to give me money!
I am rich and wonderful.
I am now making a great comfortable salary working on what satisfies me.
Something wonderful is happening to me today - I can feel it!
All my bills are paid up in full and I still have all this money.
My affirmations work for me, whether I believe they will or not. (This is for the skeptics among you.)
A lot more money is coming into my life. I deserve it and will use it for my good and others.
All my clients praise me and pay me!
I am a money magnet!
Cash comes to me easily and effortlessly, waking and sleeping.
I am now highly charismatic to myself in other people's presence.
I walk, talk, look, act, think and am rich!
I am a winner - I win big and often!
I now receive big sum of money, just for being me!

I wish you peace, prosperity, happiness, and abundance in all things.

You deserve it!

Is there unfairness in life?

2010-07-09T14:47:00.003+12:00

Life may not be fair all the times. One of the unfairest could be something like this, she is born pretty, yet i am born not. That could be the most unfair thing in life because in this society we place so much in appearance and harm factor as we stress so much so much in sexiness and physical appearances. Captivating women got it all, so they say, even if they have not much talents.

Maria Duval shares with me that in her psychic forecast she knows that sometimes life is very unfair, but it is the strong will to grow from the pain, sorrow and other inequalities, that can help you develop as a person. Somehow it will really harden you up and allows you feel more experienced and mature in life outlook.

There is really nothing much you can whine as time flies by, and surely, as depressing as it sounds, it is actually funny when you think back about it.

As life is just a cycle of mixed emotions, you can be sure that it will wear off, just like a stock market, today you're in a deep pool of troubles and woes, yet a couple of days later, you're feeling delighted over some good news.

Appreciate Mother Nature. Maria Duval says the eleganece of nature exactly can work magic in my outlook in life.

Yes I agree. No matter how bad the situation might be, the lurid shades of flowers and the charm of the environment you're around with, can allow you to feel more composed and calm. You will then be able to come out with a suitable solution to get you out of the pothole and more hopeful about the result of the day.

About the Law of Abundance

2010-07-01T14:52:00.001+12:00

One thing for sure is that there is one principle that is correct through the long history and will be into the future forever. That is, our awe-inspiring universe rewards anyone who puts in the action and is a manifestion of the positive spiritual affirmations put in. It has always worked in this way, even though you may not notice. There is absolutely no doubt about that. Conversely, the road to failure is stationed with the inertia of those who opt to do nothing concerning their lives.

You can dream about what you wish but if you do not back up your desires with supportable proofs then there is not a thing that will realise for you. However, when something that we wish becomes an obsession then our minds begin to conjure up different kind of ideas for us to get hold anything it is that we want.

People who cringe for lucky breaks in life do everything in reverse. For instance, many have the wish to turn prosperous. A common wish is to want to become a millionaire. Well, that is okay but how will it be achieved? What are you going to do to achieve your goal?

So, what really is the SECRET of the Universal Law of Wealth?You may now ask, what exactly is the secret behind the Law of Abundance?

I learn wealth comes to us in the form by-product of serving others. It's in the calling. It is a cosmic law. Put simply, if you deliver value into the lives of other humans, then majority of them will be willing to give you money to receive that service. Of course not all guys are the same. Some will try to cheat you and some will steal from you.
Clairvoyant Maria Duval proclaims that if you want to turn into a rich man, then you must concentrate firstly on the way that you will use to realise it. The moment you have selected on that method then you can use what you have understood to deliver your product or service.

In short, serving others is the basic cosmic law for money, abundance and richness.

Going against this it will be going against this universal principle. Good luck if you believe that you can defeat the cosmic law of abundance. So, do you think this is a advisable idea?

So, common sense should tell you that there is an unlimitedly greater chance of striking it by following the proven Cosmic Law of Wealth. Decrease the limelight away from yourself, serve others cheerfully with something that they want and you will have all the abundance that you can desire.

Aim to feel better

2010-06-18T15:26:00.003+12:00

From my meditating and reiki experience, each time i spend time on meditation, I feel so much better. I like the feeling of being energised when I eat well and exercise well. This is how life should be, isn't it?

Each one of us know it is important that we take care of our bodies and minds. However, it is not possible to maintain at peak performance all time, because it goes up and down

There is no question that being fit for life makes it better. It is also true that we seem to be designed to seek a lazy way if we can.

You will probably go through a reaction and say 'maybe try that next week'. Resist it and try today. Experience it and notice how you feel.

You will feel better with either exercise or diet. Then get up in the morning and remember what it felt like. If you can then do the same for a second day.

If you can't and go for that burger and fries on the second day then make sure you notice the different feeling you have.

Keep at it. Get fit for life and enjoy it more.

Regarding Birthcharts

2010-06-03T16:15:00.001+12:00

A birth chart is calculated through your date and time of birth, as well as the location. The celestial bodies present at your time of birth to see which planets (planets in astrology include the sun and the moon) have a large influence in your life. It comes in the form of a wheel. There are twelve divisions and twelve houses. Each of the divisions is represented by the zodiac signs. Horoscope charts have you at the center, and rightfully so. The north side of the wheel of your astrology chart symbolizes your head, while the opposite - the south side - symbolizes your feet.

A natal chart has a lot of different uses. The most popular use is to know your own personality. This can be done through a natal chart report. You have to be able to know how to read a natal chart to know what it means. The best way to view your birth chart report is through experts online.

You can also use your natal chart for love compatibility. This is called synastry. This is done by comparing two natal chart reports. The transits of each house will then be calculated to see which celestial bodies in the natal chart. This way you can know if you and your loved one are compatible, depending if the celestial bodies in both of your natal charts coincide.

You can also use birth charts as a way to predict the future. You can easily get a transit report. A transit report is calculated through your original natal chart. This gives you the privilege of knowing at least the gist of what will happen on a certain date. This is calculated through the different celestial bodies which influence your chart at the time, and how strong their influences are.

When you first see a natal chart, you may be confused. There are a lot of terms that are specific to a natal chart. IF you want to fully understand what your horoscope chart means, then it would be best to understand these terms. Most people do not even know what a natal horoscope is. It is made up of various mathematical calculations, based on the birth moment of an individual. They include the positions for various celestial bodies such as the moon, sun and eight planets. The natal horoscope also calculates the various sensitive points such as the ascendant, midlevel, and others.

A chart wheel is an important feature of the layout of a natal horoscope. It is a three hundred sixty degree picture of the heavens during the exact moment of your birth. The top of the chart is called the midlevel, which is directly above your head. The nadir o IC is at the bottom where your feet stand. Meanwhile, the left hand side of the wheel is the ascendant or rising sign, which is the rising zodiac of your birth moment. The descendant is on the opposite side of the ascendant, which is where the zodiac sets.

In an astrology chart, you can measure your planet position through the various degrees minutes and second of your time of birth. The line in your chart where a house begins is called a cusp. Meanwhile, glyphs in astrology are like a special language for astrologers. They symbolize different planets and zodiac signs in the natal chart report. Memorizing the glyphs will make it easier for you to read a horoscope chart report.

Now or Never

2010-05-31T17:59:00.002+12:00

When your mom or a friend told you to change a certain bad habit, a lot of times you will say, "later I will change once.....". Familiar?

That's why I believe that "later", like "try", is not a positive word that inspires belief and confidence when you hear it.

"Later" just doesn't make logical sense in spiritual terms. We are actually living at "now", hence it is not possible to wish we will change ourselves "later", be it tomorrow or the day after. Yes, its "now", or never.

We cannot be dreaming now and decide to be realistic only an hour later. As time never stops, we too would never change, despite what we promised ourselves. We can’t learn anything at a later time if we don’t learn now.

If we should start our lives all over again, make it NOW. The time is always Now, not after dinner nor dessert.

Goddess Lakshmi

2010-05-21T19:44:00.001+12:00

The Sanskrit word Lakshmi actually means "aim" or "goal". This Hindu goddess symbolizes wealth, beauty, spiritual and worldly prosperity. Legend has it that Lakshmi arose from the churning ocean of milk, or the primordial cosmic ocean. She is the consort of Vishnu, the Hindu god who represents the preserving principle. In this regard, Lakshmi also represents the divine mother, bringing love and grace.

Lakshmi is represented as a youthful goddess and beautiful woman, either standing or sitting on an open lotus flower. The lotus symbolizes spiritual purity or perfection, indicating that the wealth Lakshmi represents can be enjoyed in the proper framework, but is not to be life's only goal or to become an obsession.

Lakshmi is most often depicted with four arms, symbolizing the four ends of life: righteousness, desires, wealth and liberation from the cycles of birth and death. She is shown holding gold coins or with gold coins flowing from her hands, indicating a continual flow of riches. She is also usually adorned in red and gold, also representing the continual activity of prosperity.

In addition, Lakshmi is often accompanied by two elephants spraying water. Elephants represent the royal power of the goddess and the spraying of water indicating the ceaseless effort, which leads to material and spiritual wealth.

It is said that Lakshmi incarnated to serve the Hindu God Vishnu and took form to serve him in numerous incarnations, including Sita, wife of his incarnation as Rama, and Radha, beloved of Vishnu's incarnation as Krishna. In this regard, Lakshmi has also come to represent immortality, the essence of life and omnipotence.

Because of her reputation for providing wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi is often worshipped in the Hindu home and is a favorite of women. It is believed that Lakshmi not only bestows riches and blessings, but also removes the qualities of poverty, laziness, anger and stagnation, obstacles to wealth.

Business men and women also apply to the Goddess Lakshmi for their success and prosperity. Lakshmi is worshipped on the full moon in the month of October, when it is believed she will visit homes and replenish their wealth. The mantra for this Hindu goddess is OM SRIM LAKSHMYE NAMAHA.

Power is in our hands

2010-05-17T19:44:00.002+12:00

We have already the powers of the universe in our hands. Through thoughts, we are what our thoughts have made us, so Maria wants you to be careful of what you think, as this is the power of the universe at work. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

When an idea strongly occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state. We reap what we sow, as the saying goes. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none else has the praise.

There is no help for you outside yourself as you are the creator of the universe. Like a caterpillar, you have built a cocoon around yourself before you go to the next transformation as a beautiful butterfly, as the free soul.

Screen Through Your Thoughts

2010-05-13T15:32:00.003+12:00

Each of us has a choice to be good or bad. Similarly, we decide what kind of thoughts that filter through our minds.

Maria Duval suggests that if you think that your life is not what it is supposed to be like, you should spend sometime and:

- Analyse the thoughts you have in your brain.
- Then examine the actions you embark as a result of these thoughts.
- Then look at the consequences of these actions.
- Correct your thoughts to achieve the desired outcome.

Yes, you can do it!

Yes, you always churn out what you think. Positive changes originate in your mind. How can you improve something when you say you hate it? When you say something, your words not only serve to convince you, you also pronounce a decree and you block the creative energy that could indicate solutions for improving your life.

Follow this piece of advice: become more aware of the thoughts that go through your head through regular introspection. Take 5-10 minutes a day, preferably in the evening before you go to sleep, and look at what has happened to you over the course of the day.

Clairvoyance

2010-05-04T15:46:00.003+12:00

Clairvoyance is a gift to special individuals, like Maria. This enables them to see beyond the five senses. Clairvoyance is a part of many religions and philosophies. Those who are clairvoyant often a oneness in mind and body. This means that they extremely balanced, and can easily tap into their vast energy resources. Also, they are so sensitive that they can sense things before they even happen.

Clairvoyance works through what is called the astral plane. It is where we leave our physical bodies behind. It is believed that we all have what is called the astral body. This is what the clairvoyants use to get their psychic readings. They use astral sight and astral hearing to respond to the vibrations and energies coming from various things around us.

When we touch something, we leave more than our fingerprints and DNA. We leave behind our energy. Objects and other material things can easily absorb these energies. Some psychics use these energies to know more about a person, even if they are not there. They can also use objects to tell what happened or know more about any recent events that have occurred.

That's why I constantly get readings from psychic Maria Duval who gives me a lot of benefits for me to go out and live a better life. It is a convenient way to know more about myself or my current/past situations.

Psychic Love Reading

2010-04-20T19:27:00.003+12:00

One of the most common questions asked in a psychic reading session is "will I ever get married?" Don't you think so? I remember I'd this intense curiosity to know what this might turn out to be when I was so much younger, as I wondered if I had any soul mate or would I ever come across anyone who loved me and I loved her. Or was i destined to be alone forever? You know, there is this fear deep inside. Unable to find a life partner could be deemed as a life failure as you probably know it.

Here is what I know about psychic love readings learned from Maria Duval.

I read somewhere (can't remember the source) that more than 60% of the psychic readings are about people who are looking for love and marriage, and most of them are from women who want to meet their prince of their life.

Did you know that some of the most famous celebrities in the world have used psychic readings to help them meet their match? It's true... and the list of famous people who regularly consult psychics for matters of the heart would shock you. (it's big...and long, and counts politicians, superstars and even international ROYALTY amongst it's members).

So, by simply opening your heart and asking for help is the very first step on the road to finding true love once and for all.

Trust that little Voice inside you

2010-04-19T13:29:00.002+12:00

Last few years I had a lot of little spiritual awakenings since I got to know Maria Duval and these moments come in different ways. I hope to share with you these little moments so that you can go and find your own.

First of all, let me stress that you dont have to be religious or have tons of knowledge before you can get spiritual. Well, it can come about when there is peace and stillness in your mind. The surrounding is surreally tranquil and you could be somewhere in the nature. This is exactly how it happened to me. It is really amazing feeling to be with Mother Nature and there is no burdens in your mind.

Or you can do it purposely. I feel this is more difficult to try out yet it is also the fastest route to reach there. By this I mean meditation, which is to me a clearing of the fuzzily restless mind so that you can hear the voice of the Higher One.
When you have too much noise going on in their you just cannot hear your intuition which is usually screaming out at you that you are doing something wrong and this is why you cannot have a spiritual awakening. Without attaining this peace, it is not possible to read the intuition that is talking to you.

I like to just sit there and watch my thoughts float by. This helps create separation from them. The main barrier to spiritual awakening is that we believe that we are out thoughts and get really identified with them. By watching the, we shatter this illusion.

I am not shy to say that by getting away from the hustle bustle of the busy city life can help you to have a spiritual awakening too. By this I don't mean moving trying to life as a caveman. Maria Duval thinks that if you live in a busy city then your mind is really active and you want to be silent mentally if you want to be able to see and think clearly. I moved from town back to the outskirts and my mind is so much clearer. I think the people are much nicer and friendly here too.

Finally, just be experimental. There is nothing too silly to be tried once in terms of spirituality. If our intuition says go for it then trust that little inner voice for once, it's smart beyond your mind and will lead you in the right direction all the time.

Prayers Give Us Hope

2010-04-16T15:18:00.003+12:00

Every object in the Universe vibrates constantly. How drastic is the vibration gives us the state of the object, whether in solid, liquid or gaseous. With this vibration, there is energy. Hence objects are made up of energy. and this energy is given out when the object vibrates. Since living things like us are also made up from specks of molecules and atoms, we are also vibrating constantly and giving out energy at the same time. The energy we give out is spreads out and into the Universe, usually within the terrestrial sphere.

These vibrations transmit and carry our thoughts, words and actions across the space. They influence our immediate surroundings. Which is why many spiritual teachers say that if we harbor negative thoughts about a person, that person could be influenced by our negative thoughts, and thus causing problems in life for him or her, at some stage of time in the future,

Which is this reason why we always advise people to think and spread positive thoughts so as to benefit the world to make it a more compassionate place. Through these positive thought emissions, we are indirectly helping to improve and nurture the world!

Furthermore, since the entire Universe is governed by the Law of Action and Reaction, meaning each action exerted will receive an equal amount of reaction in certain form, we are sooner or later affected by everything we think, say and do.

That is the reason why we people pray. Prayers give us hope and send out positive thought energy to the Universe, and we know that something good will return to us in life as what we have requested in the prayers. Prayers also suppress negative thoughts and attract positive energy that helps us to lead a peaceful and harmonious life with the surrounding.

Help from a Psychic

2010-04-13T18:36:00.002+12:00

Friends can help you when you are in need. But what if they can't help you? Maybe you can approach family or mentors. But sometimes, they may not be able to help you in metaphysical and spiritual stuff. That's when you can approach people like Maria Duval for help, a living real psychic who is proven.

There are many caess of when a psychic would give you spiritual insight into your life. If you are looking to cure an illness, if you need financial advice or you are looking to find happiness, the wisdom of our spirit guides can offer surprisingly accurate insight.

As your probably know, we are always in the presence of spiritual forces, sometimes these are negative or positive spiritual forces.

The abilities of a live person psychic will work for your benefit and lead you to properly interpret this energy. If you have spiritual energy that is working against you there will be no way of knowing unless you are guided by a caring psychic like Maria.

Do you wish to be someone else?

2010-04-08T15:03:00.005+12:00

Those football fans around the world witnessed something magical from Lionel Messi this week. He scored 4 goals in a vital European knockout match to propel his team to the semi finals. As an avid sports fan, I know he is going to be one of the greatest players for in history. Do you wish that you are him? Well, it's not something to feel ashamed wishing to be like someone outstanding. Everyone of us wishes to be like someone else.

The only thing unhealthy is that it is detrimental to your heart and soul to think that you are someone else all the time. When are you going to be yourself? If you live your life as someone else, you would never have the chance to do what you want to do! You have to live up to the expectation of other people.

A lot of precious personal resources is wasted if you keep wishing you are someone else every day, like time, goals, effort and money, especially the latter, which someone may overspent to keep up with the lifestyle of his idol who he or she can never match in lifestyle.

In the end, when you realise that, years could have passed by and now you could be too old to do something. That's a common excuse used.

So my take it, you can dream be someone glamorous, but it would be fatally wrong to indulge your senses into it. So, live for your own true self, NOW!

Do you blame it on Bad Luck?

2010-04-05T21:36:00.003+12:00

To everyone who is downtrodden and thinking that life is an incessant series of bad luck, read this. If you stop blaming bad luck for events that have gone wrong in your life, bad things (or lucks) will slowly stop occurring. Instead of regarding something to be bad luck, think of it as part of the learning process for your life.

One example: If you fail in your exams, stop blaming it on bad luck that what you have studied were not tested in the paper. Instead, learn from this setback and tell yourself there is no such thing as question-picking. It's all down to hardwork and effort put it during your revisions. Once you understand this, I am sure you can do well in the re-take.

If like me, you are keen to practise spirituality, maybe you can think subtlely what kind of energies you are putting back into the spiritual plane. If you are putting out lots of negativity into the world, the world is going to give negativity back. Same thing, for every positive thought you exhibits, the spiritual world may give you back many folds.

The Right Focus

2010-03-31T19:17:00.004+13:00

Life can be fast and busy for unwary people that days after days pass by in a blink. A quarter of 2010 just goes by like that...Looking back at my week, the past seven days seem like a blurry flash. That's a hint for you in certain way how I feel about the past 1 month.

Feeling this way because I am so very busy with work so often that I tend to keep my focus on the wrong things, and this is something I hope can improve on.

For example, I was driving home today and could not help but think about the poor road conditions. I was focusing on the construction process that has been overtaking a local street for a few weeks, but has felt like months. Driving through slow traffic, I thought about the valve boxes and sewer grates that I drove over because they made my drive so bumpy.

The actual condition of the road is beside the point. I have so many other things in my life that could have occupied my mind. Rather than dwell on the negative details, I could choose to think about the positive things in life which will only help me to better enjoy my days.

If we all try our best to think about the good things that are happening in our lives, we will be able to better deal with the somewhat unpleasant things in our lives whether it is a hectic day at work or driving home through road construction every day. Try to make a conscious effort to appreciate the little things in your life and, trust me, that will make your day seem so much better.

Meditation in Tibetan Buddhism

2010-03-22T21:29:00.002+13:00

The study of Buddhism leads us from darkness and suffering into happiness and light. Meditation is an important aspect of Buddhism. Using meditation during the study of Buddhism allows us to control our thoughts and focus the mind in order to progress on this path.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. This is a quote from Buddha.

The final destination in the study of Buddhism is Nirvana. The path to Nirvana is one step at a time. With each step, the Buddhist practitioner comes one step closer to enlightenment. Buddhists believe that it takes many lifetimes to achieve this goal, and in the meantime, we are reincarnated. But, although reaching this final destination is the goal, the path is also important. In life, the practitioner should improve their ability to meditate and study. In the meantime, the practitioner can achieve higher awareness, find inner peace, and learn to live in the present.

Buddhism is currently becoming a popular religion in the west. This is partly due to a greater awareness of religions outside of western religions, and also because of studies that show the health benefits of meditation. These discoveries have brought meditation into the mainstream, and there are those who meditate outside of Buddhism and Hinduism, with no religious convictions in mind. But with the benefits of meditation, people begin to form an interest in the religions behind meditation, both Buddhism and Hinduism.

The types of meditation taught in Buddhism are widely varied, and there are different types of meditations that can be done for different problems or obstacles in life. There are also many different Buddhist schools of thought. Each of these schools of thought has a different way of approaching meditation. But the ultimate goal, that of achieving enlightenment is the same throughout the different types of Buddhism.

There are different levels of meditation in Buddhism. The first level is tranquility. Tranquility allows the mind to become still, and it helps the practitioner concentrate. Mindfulness of breathing, called pranayama in yogic practices, is the first step of meditation. By focusing on the breath, the practitioner can reach a calm and tranquil state. Even psychologists teach their patients this type of basic meditation.

The second level of meditation is insight. The goal here is different than in the first type of meditation. During the insight level of meditation, the practitioner is trying to look for insights into themselves. Insight meditation helps us learn more about ourselves, and it allows us to make changes to ourselves, and how we cope with life.

Meditation teaches us to harness the mind and direct our thoughts to lead to happiness and contentment. It is not necessary to practice Buddhism to enjoy the benefits of meditation. But understand the Buddhist philosophy can enhance meditation and it will also increase the benefits received through regular meditation.

The Law that Attracts

2010-03-18T21:51:00.002+13:00

Maria Duval has repeated a few times about the universe law of attraction. Ask and it will be given. That sums up about this law.If you follow these steps the universe will help you out what you have wished for but remember to give your positive energy in right vibrations onto your desire and be aware of your desire. Th emotions and thoughts of ourselves reflect on the path of our desires reaching out to us.

The elementary idea behind this law is that when your thoughts vibrate and reflect to the other energies comes back to us fulfilled desires with the help of those nature's energies. Why do you need to worry about the strategies to get what you want, when the earth is doing the job for you? Why do you need to worry when the earth works for you? All you have to do is Allow the energy to reflect and work with the earth, is that difficult, not at all.

But this also can be the theory's toughest part, because usually people do not believe anything that easily and this theory backs on faith, so it is first difficult to practice the theory with all our strains show as doubts. So be doubt free while you practice this theory. Expect the earth's energy to work for you, you must be surprised on hearing this, majority of people who believe in this theory have been successful by just keeping quiet and thinking about their ambitions positively. Thus the universe law of attraction gives you whatever you want.

Thus the Universe law of attraction proves that our universe is a ball packed with energy, so try to explore this energy ball more and you can attract all your desires.

Being Simple and Yourself

2010-03-10T21:13:00.005+13:00

You have an intimate relationhship naturally. That is your mind and your body. When you feel great, naturally, your feel radiant and you will forget about the worries to focus on good things in life. Always be the best that you can be.

Maria Duval says everyone is a work in progress, no matter how old or how young that person is. Each of us has the opportunity to do what will not only make us better people, but also to bring personal happiness and make us feel better about ourselves.

So in the end, all of us got to find out what makes us happy and fulfilled in life and go for it courageously. I am talking about the positive aspects please.
Decide what makes you happy and do it. Many times, the simplest things in life are the best moments you can have, like walking in the woods, singing to your loved ones or spending quality time with your kids.

When you are being yourself, you have a overall feel of happiness and wellness.
You will welcome positive influences and you recognize that knowledge is power. With this attitude, a beautiful transformation can take place.

In the end, that will improve your spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being over a lifetime.

Common Psychic Abilities

2010-03-04T16:08:00.003+13:00

It is true that there are some people in this world who have the uncanny ability to predict what will happen in the future with some degree of accuracy. They are able to do this feat because of their natural extra-sensory perfections (ESP) such as clairvoyance and sixth sense. People such as Edgar Cayce and Maria Duval are examples of such people with sharp psychic ability.

Studies have revealed a degree of belief among some scientists and spiritualists, as after all, who would not be interested to know more about the future? Parapsychologists have also studied psychics for a long time and the results point out that some of the psychic feats are scientifically explainable and plausible.

One prime form of psychic is clairvoyance which comes from a French word and this refers to people who are able to "tune" in or sense energies beyond the range of normal humans, such as perceive distant events.

There are also clairaudience which means able to pick up sounds beyond the normal human range and clairsentence which means the ability to understand past, present and future event from feelings.

Psychics are controversial group of people throughout history because common people are skeptical about their abilities and some think they are satanic or even trying to deceive. But through modern science, the image has been gradually improved and now there are more people turning to psychics as alternative healers.

Some psychic feats are simply astounding and they are able to use their powers well and hence able to establish a connection with souls. Some have the means to delve into your mental world and connect with your mind and spirit so as to solve your life problems.

There are also psychic techniques commonly used for perceptions and they include divination arts like tarot cards, numerology, telepathy and astrology. For example, it is said that tarot card readers are able to predict your future and foretelling some major events coming your way, while psychometry represents the astonishing gift of moving objects using mind powers. Telepathy is something more commonly acceptable and it is is basically mind-to-mind communication.

Throughout the long history of humanity of whatever culture, humans have always replied on psychics and fortune-tellers to peek into the future. This is still the same situation today and will be the same one century from now. Humans are spiritual in nature and therefore, psychics will always be around to play the role of filling this spiritual void on areas like work, relationship, love and money.

Wonderful Moonstone

2010-02-25T20:10:00.004+13:00

One of Maria Duval's favourite gemstones is moonstone. I think she likes it a lot because she recommends it quite often and also holds it in high regards from her professional psychic's point of view as it may "contain" a lot of metaphysical properties that benefit people.

Moonstone is a lusciously glowing stone and it got its name from our nearest celestial body, Moon. It has a feminine property and hence moonstone is highly suitable to be carried by the fairer sex to calm emotional problems. Recently Maria Duval gave me a moonstone chain and she told me to let it worn by my spouse. It certainly has some calming effect and she doesn't flare her temper easily recently.

Maria Duval gives me some pointers to optimise the moonstone's power too:

1. Allow your moonstone to lie on your solar plexus chakra to work for several minutes, or even fall asleep with it in place.

2. Moonstone can also help people to discern other people's thought. Keep it in your pocket when you need need that "understanding". Moonstone is a psychic stone!

3.If you would like to maintain an emotional connection with another person, both of you should carry moonstones, ideally in the same pocket, or around your neck.

Listener and Talker

2010-02-22T20:39:00.003+13:00

I remember that when I was younger, about eight to ten years old, I would listen to every adults I met. My dad told me children need to listen more, rather than talk more. I took it by heart and agreed. Hence I'd sit one side and listen to adults talking on and on, without any inkling what's happening.

As I grow up, I began to understand the value of "listening". A listener learns more than the speaker. Listening helps us to discern between right and wrong.

Most successful people listened, they listened to what people want and every complain they received. They did not once make any comment or criticism because they did not have to. They showed to others that they cared because they listened. They learned what others missed.

On the other hand, a talker likes to listen to his own voice and he or she is usually a person who has high ego. Don't you ever hear this? "A wise old owl sat on an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard".

My 3 favourite inspirational quotes

2010-02-12T17:12:00.002+13:00

Maria says one of the the best ways to inspire yourself is to read enlightening verses and quotes. These words contain the wisdom of the great minds in mankind.

My favourite quotes category is the life quotes. Life quotes provides us wisdom to make good life. At the same time, it gives us life lessons without requiring us to through the experience. All thanks to the wise people who shared their wisdom, views and opinions

With this in mind, now I hope to write some of my favourite quotes and what i learn from them.

My all time favourite.

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why they call it present." by Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. I think this is aptly appropriate. We don't know how tomorrow will be hence its a mystery. We got to cherish this wonderful present called today.

Another one is, "Life is like writing with a pen. You can cross out your past but you cannot erase it." by an unknown writer. Yes, we cannot change the past, there is no time machine. Thus, it's better to focus on present to create something beautiful in life

The last great verse i like is, "When life gives you hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have thousand reasons to smile." This is really a strong quote that is easily to understand yet you may need a philosopher to extrapolate it. In short, it tells us to be strong to face changes and situation that comes in our life.

Psychic Abilities

2010-01-28T22:26:00.000+13:00

Do you know that you are psychic? Yes everyone is psychic and has the ability to perceive and process knowledge acquired through experience or study. Indeed it is a fact that most of us are more psychic than we realize. The reason why most of us never recover these psychic ability and inborn gifts is that we are never trained as children how to put into effect these psychic muscles. It is only through conscious choice as adults interested in psychic abilities that we have the opportunity to recover and nurture these natural gifts.

Consider when you first learned to ride a bicycle you had to consciously focus on your balance. Once you learned how to balance and control your centre of gravity this process was done without conscious thought. The information stored in your subconscious took over and told your body how to ride your bicycle without having to think about it.

If you look deeply into this elementary example, you will see two things that stand out and point to how to begin working with power of the subconscious mind.

However, in order to achieve greater psychic awareness and accuracy, you must first find out what your strongest gifts actually are. If you have the stereotyped view of psychics seeing and knowing all, you will be disappointed. It doesn't work that way.

The chaotic thoughts and worries of daily life can drain your physical and mental energy. So, the first step to enhancing your brain power is to dump all that mental clutter.

The truth is that everyone has these abilities. We are all psychic. Some will be easier to master for some people than others. People with psychic gifts are not members of an elite group. The good news is that means with practice you can get better. The bad news is the only way to get better is to practice!

Become skilled at to be aware. If your five senses aren't open and functioning correctly, there is no way that a 6th sense will. Learn to listen and see things. Start becoming aware of touch, taste, texture. Become an intentional sensualist. Test yourself. Get your friends to test you. Walk into an area and close your eyes. See how much of it you can describe. You'll be surprised to learn out how much goes on around you that you never really see.

The Vibrating Universe

2010-01-21T16:05:00.004+13:00

This is a vibrating and boundless Universe. Scientifically, it has been proven that everything vibrates. Deep down into the sub atomic level, scientists learn that each atom - the building block of the Universe, has immense energy, hence everything in the Universe is part of an immense unified field of energy and intelligence. Without these basic building blocks, we won't be here at all.

Which means the only unique source of energy and it is the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe which is the beginning of all things existing and every creation of the Universe.

Which means the only unique source of energy and it is the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe which is the beginning of all things existing and every creation of the Universe.

We too, as human beings, are bits of pieces of this huge and unregulated intelligence field. This intelligence and the energy that goes round inside us are similar to the power that rules the Universe.

Everything forms part of an unique whole to which we are all linked. This means in terms of divine magic we repeat that "everything is one".

Matters like money or luxurious material things and humans are just energies that takes another form and this is determined by the rate of the vibrations. And this is precisely the reason why it is possible to attract money. Due to the vibrations, we are in fact interlinked!

Also, modern scientific researches have shown that each physical particle is a form of energy vibration called "wave function". This is what ancient sages have been knowing all these passed centuries. It is this that makes our physical bodies work, our hearts beat, bloods circulate, all without us having to think about it.

The Power of Brainwaves

2010-01-18T19:41:00.003+13:00

Brainwaves are a correlation of consciousness and its state. This means that certain mental states have certain brainwaves. For example, if you are tired, you will have a low brainwave frequency. When you are more energetic, you will have a higher brainwave frequency. The brainwave state changes all day and isn't fixed. We enter into different mental states all day, from happiness to sadness to anxiety to eagerness etc etc every single day.

Creating the brainwaves crucial to your success is fundamental. The way to do that is to continually perform the actions which will make those brainwave states become a more integral and established part of your mental thinking.

For example, if you are always focused, disciplined and driven to your goals, these brainwave states will become more incumbent and easier to maintain. This means it also becomes easier to remain focused, disciplined and driven. There are specific brainwaves which create success. Consciousness as we know it plays a fundamental part in shaping reality, which is why these effects can happen.

For example, there are brainwave states which lead to increases in material prosperity. When you access those brainwave states, you will notice a quick increase in income, opportunities, drive and productivity to your goals. Your mind will become more relaxed and you will have a much clearer picture of what you need to do to succeed.

Merely Existing?

2010-01-15T20:22:00.002+13:00

Most people think that their lives are not heading in a direction that they want it to be. So, the feeling must be damping to regarding yourself as merely existing, not living.

Folks could be thinking that a stable comfortable job is what most are looking for in life. Stable income monthly with a happy family. Not later, some may realise that this kind of lifestyle sucks and you are simply a living dead without exploiting on your full potentials.

In her book, Maria Duval questions me to think why is it that most of us reach a point in our lives where we stop living and begin accepting life? Granted there are plenty of people in this world that are constantly living and hardly ever accept life as it is in the present. These people are constantly finding a new direction, new goal, and a new set of circumstances to live.

Imagine how life would be if we were to really "live" it! What else could you accomplish that you have put on "hold" to merely exist? Answer that question and I suggest each one of us begin living.

Don't settle and never stop living!

Is A Psychic Medium Reading The Same As A Psychic Reading?

2010-01-13T16:02:00.001+13:00

There are many questions and a lot of confusion as to whether there is a difference between a regular psychic reading and psychic medium reading. In fact, most people think that both methods are the same. Well, they are not. A psychic reading and a psychic medium reading are two concepts that have some characteristics that are alike, but they are not technically the same.

Communicating with the spirits of the after life is a psychic ability which is characterized by a psychic medium. We often seek to communicate with the ones who have gone before us, people we love who have passed away, and people who are very dear to us. A psychic medium has this special gift of being a medium of communication between the spirit world and the real world.

A psychic medium can also ask a person's spirit guide for a message, advice, or guidance for the person they are doing a reading for. Each person has their own spirit guides. These spirit guides can bring healing and sense of closure to a person's sorrow or pain.

The most basic reasons why people seek a psychic medium reading is to communicate with spirits who have passed on. But other than this, a psychic medium can also see into the future, and not to mention even seek advice on your future endeavors , from your spirit guides or the spirits of those loved ones who have passed away.

But if both a regular psychic reading and the psychic medium reading allows you to have a glimpse of the future, what sets them apart? This is usually where the confusion rises.

Looking into a regular psychic reading, it is a method in where the psychic can read your past, present, and future. Whereas a psychic medium reading does more than just read the past, present, and the future; it can even ask the spirits of your loved ones, or your guides and angels, for advice and insights.

Introspectively, to narrow down everything for your much better understanding, you should look into what a psychic medium reading and psychic reading can and can't do. If you want good advice, you could seek the advice of either of the two. If you want to know the past, current, and a sneak peak of the future, both will practically give you almost the same reading. But, if you want to communicate with the spirits from the afterlife, especially a loved one who has passed on and allow yourself to ask them for guidance, then you should consult a psychic medium reading.

Most psychics have clairvoyant, clairsentient, and clairaudient abilities, that allows them to do a psychic reading. However, not all psychics have the gift of mediumship. This means that there are fewer psychic medium readers compared to general psychic readers. Generally speaking, seeking a psychic medium for advice is a better option. This is especially true if you are the type of person who prefers the counseling and guides of loved ones in your decisions or paths you take.

Reaching our Subconscious

2010-01-11T17:02:00.002+13:00

Positive affirmation has already been recommended by many spiritual gurus and psychics to heighten one's life and development. Through positive affirmation, you can self program your mindset to be more positive so that you can attract more positive energies to come into your life.

Well, one thing is very sure. We believe the existence of the human subconscious, yet how many people can actually claim that they have the access to this powerful source of inspiration? I feel that is really lamentable.

Everyone has negative traits which we try our best to get rid of. Maria Duval tells me that through positive affirmation, I can spiritually get rid of it through mindset programming, provided I am serious to get rid of it. These positive affirmations would allow you to actually talk to yourself, and place positive messages into your mind, so that your subconscious brain would take these messages and implant it into the everyday processes in your mind.

Practise for about half an hour a day or more, and weeks later, you will see some noticeable difference in yourself!

To love yourself

2010-01-06T20:00:00.003+13:00

I think one of the greatest things about life is we have love and receive love from one another. It is really powerful to forget one's own conscience in order to care about someone selflessly. However, it is also important that one should love or treasure oneself. Without this, it is not possible to love others.

Maria explains that loving yourself is being acting with high egos or being selfish. She says it refers to how much you know about youserself, aspirations or objective in life. that you know yourself, your goals and aspirations and that you work toward them.

Ultimately, to be successful in life, loving yourself is necessary. They know that in order to contribute to the society, it is essential to "fix" themselves to be well first by building up self confidence and emotional stability.

Physically, people who love themselves cherish own health and energy. Spiritually, they are at ease with people and nature around them. Loving yourself is just one step on the road to success and the road to service.

Know Yourself

2010-01-04T22:32:00.002+13:00

Hope you thoroughly enjoyed your New Year's day countdown party or activities!

I think 2010 started rather calmly for me as there is not much surprises in store. A short getaway over the holiday weekend with my family in a relaxed atmosphere. A truly tranquil way to sooth my tired soul to get ready for the next months, which I am sure will be very positive.

It is important that we know ourselves better before we can share our lives with someone you like. In fact, knowing yourself better will give you a chance to take a peek at yourself that you will share to the people around you.

Always have control of your mind when you are doing things. Yes there are always unexpected turns that may be out of control and they don't go your way. And through this experience, you will know what people think about you or how far is your limitations to take things like risks, or even discover a new talent.

I hope you will get to know yourself better. You can try meditation if you want to embark on self discovery journey.

Post Christmas Thoughts

2009-12-28T19:24:00.002+13:00

Still in the spirit of Christmas, I'd like to share with you that this is my favourite time of the year, as a small young. Christmas time, of course, kids do get all the goodies like gifts, presents, carols and candies. Laughter is in the time for the whole month of December.

That was when times were pure and innocent. As I grew up, the feeling faded and that yearly family get-together just never get to go on as a tradition. It's a pity. But as I've aged, it seems like it's become more about the commercialism. Gifts this and gifts that.

That's when the fun of giving at Christmas started to leave for me. Not to mention for the next several years out of college I was broke and couldn't meet the expectations of giving to some people.

Thinking back, I could have made gifts with my own hands to give it to some closer buddies or to the college girl I was fond of. Things could be totally different if I had done that.By that it doesn't mean you won't spend any money, but you might spend a lot less and you put your time and heart in it.

On ending, I hope that we can take back Christmas to make it about true giving rather than superficial giving.

I wish you all Happy New Yearin 2010~!

Merry Christmas

2009-12-23T17:13:00.002+13:00

Less than 2 days to Christmas! It means we are at the end of the year. Hello 2010. So what does this Christmas mean to you? To me, it's nothing more than a highly glamourous mega shopping event that builds up in every late November. It's way too commercialised, isn't it? But without commercialism, there ain't any tinge of festive spirits!

Other than some intensive shopping, does it still mean anything to you on this day? Do you still celebrate traditionally? Each family I think has its own habits and traditions.

Of course there will be lots of food and drinks when we spend joyous times with friends and family. Family members who are away for the rest of the year will specially come home during this time to gather with the rest of the family.

The important thing is that the Christmas celebration should be right for you and your family.

Cheers and Merry CHRISTMAS!

December 2009

2009-12-02T22:11:00.003+13:00

Times flies and now we are ALREADY in the last month of 2009. In another 30 days or so, it will be in our history and memories. December is a favourite month to many people, who associate it with year end holidays, bonuses, shopping, Christmas, job performance review, planning for next year, merry time to drink/party, and maybe even stock market rally? Yes, December is really a positive month. It gives hope to many.

One of the most vivid memory of 2009 will be the death of pop king, Michael Jackson. Also comes to mind will be the first quarter of the year when everything seems extremely gloomy. Jobs and businesses were falling by the way side and we were nearly in the midst of another great depression. Miraculously, it picked up gradually and my firm received a few big work orders, hence thank goodness, my job is spared.

Thanks to my lucky star!

That's the best present for me in 2009!

life is amazing..

Be Inspired

2009-11-30T20:10:00.002+13:00

I think we cannot live without inspiration. This amazing thing keeps you going and going when mentally, your mind shouts you to stop for the day. Many people don't understand inspiration and motivation. I think inspiration is one level higher than motivation as it is based on your hope and vision while motivation is about goals.

More like inner force resulted from your vision and mission. I think everyone should have a vision in life, whether it is grand or not. This shall form the cornerstone of your life.

Wish you success in life..

Will it Change My Life to Go to a Psychic?

2009-11-24T21:21:00.003+13:00

Psychics take on the job of communicating with their guides to help you get answers to problems that may not be found other ways.

Many psychics allow themselves to be use for the greater good of humanity because of their desire to help other with psychic gifts they were given.

Being prepared for change

For many people who take the step to go to a psychic is aware that they may get answers to things that have been troubling them for a while.

When you prepare yourself to get a reading you can most of the time know that it will help you change your life around?

Asking for help

It takes courage for many to open up and ask for help knowing that you will be vulnerable.

You may not always hear or get the answers that you want to hear especially if you are blocking and not willing to change to attract what you want in your life.

You may take this to mean that you are not perfect and that is the requirement for getting what you want in life and there is no truth to this thinking.

Asking for help aligns you to get in touch with your needs and your priorities.

How to choose the right reader

Choosing the right reader depends on you and your needs, it is not worthy for you to choose someone that is good in find missing persons to help you solve your relationship problems.

Becoming aware of your needs and what you want answers to can help you in getting the right psychic.

Getting in touch with what has been troubling you for awhile and you do not have answers that are satisfying for you is where you start.

Knowing what you want solve

You may have many questions that you would want answers to and choosing those that are the most important and going into depth is worth more that rushing to get answers to many questions that has no solutions to it or may not be as important.

Listening over to your reading

It is in your best interest to listen over to your reading more than once because you may have miss some thing because of your excitement during the reading.

Taking the time to take notes and following through with the suggestions from spirit can be rewarding and demanding if you are not prepared to make a change.

Trusting in the Psychic

Listening to the psychic is important and trusting in your inner feelings is also, if you feel that the psychic or spirit is not thinking of you or are not answering your questions it is good to speak up.

Some people go to psychic to get answers to some things that they the person does not believe it can come through for them.

Getting your answers

Psychics working with spirit may not give you what you want to hear, they may give you what you need.

Spirit job is to help you get the best solution that will help you align to what you need and want.

Universal Energy

2009-11-17T21:07:00.002+13:00

I read this interesting article from Maria Duval. According to her teaching, the universal cosmic energy pervades the entire span of space. This energy is the source of all life, and is present at all levels of Creation, from distant stars to the cells that made up biological cell levels of every living thing.

This source of energy builds up everything in Universe and is itself the manifestation of Divine Love. This concept can also be brought to money, a material element of divine origin.

Money is also an energy that serves as a means of exchange and is a physical representation of love.

Positive End of the Spectrum

2009-11-12T19:27:00.003+13:00

We are sync with our thoughts. Logically, we change our lives when we change our thoughts. A simple life success formula, only if you think and plan in the position side of the spectrum.

But the question is, how to start to get to this positive side of life? Maria Duval highly suggests repetitions and visual affirmations of what/where you wish to be. If do right, it can transfer your mindset effectively.

Start to accumulate a trove of positive quotes from books, magazines and newspapers. Display them as much as your eyes can see them throughout the day, in toilet, wallet, car, room and etc...They will ingrain and inspire your mind.

I can guarantee you that after a few days, your whole thought pattern will be changed and you become a whole new person who thinks positive in every aspect of life.

Do remember to be focused and purge out alien thoughts that wander into your mind. In the beginning it might be little difficult for you, but it will become easy once it becomes your habit.

Classical Meditation

2009-11-09T16:51:00.000+13:00

People often have a misguided perception about meditation. It can be understood why as it is still a mystical branch of spiritual technique despite its growing popularity.

Maria Duval suggests a person to try out "classical meditation" if you have not meditated before as it is one of the simplest meditation that doesn't require any special equipment or place.

Maria Duval tells me that classical meditation is so simple that I don't even need to concentrate.

All you need to do is to sit in an upright position, relax your body, and close your eyes. You can start by doing this for a few minutes once or twice a day and gradually increase the time you meditate. Remember don't try to control your thoughts just watch them pass by. You can find a free meditation timer online that will help you monitor your progress. A meditation timer is great because you don't have to constantly look at a clock.

When it comes to learning meditation there are so many options. You don't have to go out of your way to choose a meditation that requires hours of hard work. The meditation you choose should be easy to perform and should not require that you spend hours sitting around.

I like to start things of simple, and so should you. You should choose a simple path to learn to mediate and use it for around a year before you migrate to something that requires more time and is a bit more difficult.

Thanks Maria!

On flows and tides

2009-11-05T20:00:00.002+13:00

We go against the tide when we try to fight reality, and resist change. Change is going to happen, whether you like it or not. Struggling against the changes life brings is not going to achieve anything but frustration and stress.

Going with the flow enables us to become fluid and flexible. Taking on a free-flowing attitude allows us to be like water. Water is the most powerful substance, able to wear away the hardest of obstacles and to pass through seemingly impassable places.

This doesn't mean that you have to allow yourself to be swept in directions that are not in line with your goals and desires. It is just not smart or productive to try and row your little raft against the strong current of life. That is a sure way to get shipwrecked!

When you are swimming in relatively calm waters, there are many choices you can take without fighting the natural flow of the universe. And at every turn of the tide offers us opportunities for learning, growth, and adventure, so go with the flow and enjoy!

December 21, 2012

2009-10-30T16:16:00.002+13:00

Nothing grabs the attention more than a good end of the world prophecy, but this time this one makes you take notice, which is the 2012 prophecy.

Mayan's 2012 prophecy states that end of times will occur on December 21, 2012. As history points you, this ancient tribe was extremely proficient in looking at stars and celestial alignments. Astronomy was their forte and they built calender based on star movements. Yes, this calender ends at this date.

What's so special with December 21, 2012?

Well, it turns out that there is a very special galactical event occurring - once every 26,000 years. The event is the alignment between Earth, the Sun and the Milky Way Galaxy. On that day, the winter solstice, the sun will line up with the direct middle of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Personally, I love a good prophecy or conspiracy. It peaks the interest and makes you wonder. Much like Y2K was going to be the end all for modern humanity, 2012 will mark a new age in science too. To that extent, the prophecies are correct that one time will end and another will start. That said change will bring doomsday is extremely doubtful.

Meditative gains

2009-10-29T15:49:00.000+13:00

It doesn't need a genius to know that you can feel and look better when your body is well rested. Now, you can even feel and look better and even rejuvenate your body through meditation.

Maria Duval repeats to me in her latest reply that meditation can be very fun, resting and healing for my tired soul. For example, she says I can use meditation to rest my mind from the busy schedule and hyped up emotions accumulated during the day.

Meditation can also help you quiet your physical body's intellectual and emotional chatter and allow your higher consciousness to affect your creativity.

Like anything you use your body for, meditation requires practice. The more you meditate, the clearer your system will become. The healing, rejuvenating qualities of meditation will become apparent in your appearance and behavior. The release of stress will bring a new sense of well-being, even if you only meditate for a short time.

Meditation has brought a sense of peace and well-being into many people's lives, and it can work for you. All you have to invest is a little time to feel, look and be a happier you.

Thanks Maria Duval.

Comes from your within

2009-10-26T19:38:00.002+13:00

Do you feel scared or highly at ease? You believe that outlook of life should be in abundance, joy and happiness or scarcity, pessimism or regret?

As you know, Maria Duval stresses to me the importance of focus in right area. If you put your thoughts on fear, fear will engulf your life in its various forms. If you focus on good side of life like laughter, joy and happiness, plenty of it will enter your life conversely.

I strongly believe that feeling joyous should not be a rare experience we only experience some of the time. That should be the attitude of life. Wonderful things should happen to us too!

It is actually damaging to you to focus on anything other than joy. That may be a dramatic statement to make but it's true. You own happiness is at stake every time you focus your attention on anything other than feeling happy!

Tell yourself to feel happy in life, it has to come from within. And when you do hit this wonderful state when you are living a consistently joyful life experience - nothing can ever touch you.

Inner Guide - Your Best Friend

2009-10-22T18:55:00.005+13:00

I feel it rather important to pay attention to what we are feeling. Each one of us has some spiritual access to guidance from the Higher One, provided we choose to let go of our ego and spend time to listen to what it says. Very often, it is right while we are wrong.

Maria Duval

says that we would rather put our trusts in logic than hearing to this natural instinctive voice. She feels this is unfortunate.

Do others really know us better than we know ourselves? Shouldn't we be own our best judge? After all who knows us better than we know ourselves? Your inner is always there to offer you guidance and help. It will become louder the more you listen to it.

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you were in danger? A kind of churning feeling in your gut that warned you to stay away? Many people have reported being unable to explain this feeling. They listened to it and later found out it prevented them from some kind of trouble.

This is your inner voice. Your intuition. We all have it. All you have to do is practice trusting and allowing your voice to be heard.

The more you listen to it and honour it, the more it will help you out. It will become your new best friend.

Friends and Good communication

2009-10-19T20:34:00.004+13:00

Friends are people we like to be with when we are in need, feeling lonely, or requiring a social company. They make you feel better. A company of friends make you feel more "accepted", and as a result, your ego is propped up when you are in a group that accepts you.

Sometimes friends could be a pain in the butt, but they make us smile. They help us avoid and solve our problems through the advise that they gave us, and at the same time, they are always here in our side especially in times of trouble. This matter is done because of good communication with them. But can you imagine, if you do not have a good communication with the people you care about, then life will be such a mess.

To me, Maria Duval seems like a personal friend to me - more like a personal guide rather.

To be good friends, both parties must be willing to share life, happiness, joy and problems. Don't bottle your problems up. Share them with others whom you trust. No one can be alone all the time, we're not an island in the middle of nowhere. With this situation you can visualize the bad effect of having bad communication with your friends. The first thing that you must do first is to have a better communication with your peers. I can say this thing because I've already experienced it just like you.

Listening to your Soul and Spirit?

2009-10-14T19:48:00.004+13:00

About this question. Are you listening to the guidance of your soul and spirit?

Whether you realize it or not, your soul is speaking to you right now and is the one voice that will always feel right to you. Your soul is always seeking to guide you on your journey and your soul speaks to you through your dreams, flashes of insight and most of all through that deep inner voice within. Are you paying attention?

Maria Duval suggests 3 ways that can assist you to live from the inside out:

1 – Meditation. This wonderful practice has become my daily morning ritual. It requires discipline, consistency and patience and it is so worth it! With repetition, you’ll find that you expand your consciousness and become more aware of the guiding voice of your soul.

2 – Spiritual Hypnosis. This is a process where the hypnotist guides you into a deep meditative state of profound relaxation, and through a powerful visualization technique assists you to invite your soul in where you can ask questions and receive guidance.

3 – Subconscious Programming. Now here’s a simple yet powerful method you can begin using today to program your subconscious mind to recognize when your soul is speaking to you.

Get what you want

2009-10-13T19:58:00.002+13:00

Maria Duval often hears people often say things like, "It's great to be spiritually aware and peaceful, but I still feel there are things I want to achieve, have and do, how do I do that while still being mindful?”

There’s nothing wrong with wanting more, it’s part of our abundant nature. It’s the thinking attached to the things we achieve, have or do that leads us astray.

Out of this, Maria Duval has decided to give you a formula that is guaranteed to succeed for you when all 3 elements are in alignment with each other!

The Formula is:

You x (Thoughts + Actions) = Results/Outcomes

Or, Y x (T + A) = R

Interpretation:

YOU:
This is the most important part of the equation and involves you being still enough to know exactly what it is that you want. Most people will say they know what they want but in reality there’s so much happening around them that it’s just something that sounds nice, for e.g. I want a new car. You need to be crystal clear on what it is that you truly want.

THOUGHTS
Once you’re clear on what it is you want, you need to be vigilant of what you’re thinking because the old conditioned (unconscious part) of you will probably not be comfortable with change and will look to sabotage efforts. This is where your mindfulness practice comes in handy, notice the objections that come up in you in wanting to change. In you noticing them, they lose their power to influence you.

ACTIONS
Action is the final step, unlike a lot of self-help tools out there that say action is the most important aspect of getting what you want. When the steps above are taken care of, action becomes a natural flow from that. You find that you’re actually motivated to take action because you’re clear about what you want and understand the importance of it. Action is only becomes work when you’re doing something that isn’t in alignment with what you really want. Action becomes a pleasure when it is in alignment with what you want and that’s something that a lot of people don’t experience yet.

Final Note, when the YOU is there, your efforts through your throughts and actions are multiplied dramatically. This is what is missing in personal development models that focus on positive thinking and taking action alone.

Flow of Energy

2009-10-12T19:03:00.003+13:00

To give before you receive more in return. Probably this has been mentioned many times in spirituality practice. What does it mean really?

Maria Duval gives this analogy to explain. Just imagine there’s a river of money and you are standing at the bank of the river, what would it take for you to receive some of that money? Simple, you just need to extend your arm and allow the flow of the river to place it in your hand. I know it sounds too simple. The gist is the the act of extending yourself in some way so that the pathway in to you is clear to receive.

Life is indeed a river of abundance that is only too willing to give you whatever you want, so why does it seem so difficult at times?

Maria says in the river of money, what most people could be doing is to walk through the river with their arms crossed over their chest and then “hope” that some cash will find its way in! A little may get lodged in the folds of their arms but it’s not really the easiest way to receive.

As all things are made up of vibrating energies, it is really an alignment to a vibrational frequency that opens up the channel so that whatever comes from you also comes into you. This is why it’s said, if you want money, give money, if you want time, give time, if you want love, give love. Whatever you want, give it first and you will align yourself to receiving it.

Life is all about harmony and flows of energy, the rain and sun give nutrients to the plant, the plant in turn grows and provides nutrients to other organisms, and so on.

We are spiritual beings and we should be more connected with the natural flows of energy through positivity and harmony.

Show gratitude at all times

2009-10-09T21:00:00.004+13:00

According to Hindu belief, gratitude is one of the most important aspects to be a upright man. Ingratitude is inexcusable and unforgiven.

Just wondering what exactly means by gratitude?

Maria Duval explains in the simplest form, by expressing 'thank you' at times enough signifies our gratitude. At times we are helped so much by someone that mere words of thanks can never repay the help. This kind of help and sharing has to be remembered by us at all the times and we should make every effort to repay that.

Even if we are not able to repay the gratitude in full, our very feeling of being obliged keeps our heart pure and makes our helper feel good.

Gratitude is also immeasurable, unable to get written down in terms of numbers or money. But we can at least be ready and apply all our might to return the help in all possible ways.

For example, expressing your gratitude to your parents who take care of you unselfishly till you are grown up. We can at least try and see that our parents should never feel helpless and alone in her old age.

Similarly, reneging on the kind assistance of a buddy when you are in hard times by committing a grave act on him in return is unforgivable.

One should never commit any sin, and one should never even dream of committing the sin of ingratitude.

Improving Charisma

2009-10-08T21:00:00.002+13:00

Why are do some people seem to draw all attention without effort, while others will always be a wall flower?

Maria Duval has some good suggestions to build up your charisma:

Show yourself.
Be positive towards others who could have good intentions towards you. In this way, you can take down the invisible veil and radiating this feeling. Yes, people around you can feel it as we energy mass ourselves.

Show interest
Show interest in other people and don't fake it. Ask yourself to listen wholeheartedly. Ask questions that interest the other party and invite them to talk about their experience. Everybody loves to talk about themselves.

Open yourself.
Approach others openly. Keep eye contact during a conversation. Do not avoid eye contact, and watch your body language. Crossing your arms or legs does not invite for conversation. Stand or sit casually and use a lively way of speaking.

Remember people's names
When being introduced to a dozen new people on a party, no one expects you to remember all the names. But people do really like it if you remember and use their names. So listen carefully when being introduced and repeat someone's name or ask if you have heard it correctly.

Weeding your Subconscious

2009-10-07T19:33:00.001+13:00

If you really want to heal, you have to know the truth. Maria Duval says the truth is, that you have to know what caused whatever your issue is. The only way to change the outcome is to change the cause. If you remove the cause, you remove the effect. Right?

Except pretty much all of us have been lied to because most people just don't understand how the world - and the universe - really works. We've been taught that things "just happen" to us. You know the old saying: "stuff happens."

But here's the truth that will set you free: if you're experiencing it, you created it.

Which sounds a lot like blaming the victim, only it isn't. Because there are no victims. Maria says we all vibrate at a certain frequency, much like a radio sending out a signal. Those things in the universe that are tuned to our signal hone in and are drawn to us. Whether it's health or disease, wealth or poverty, great relationships or abusive ones, it's just the law of attraction.

The fair thing is that the Universe has just been matching our signal we give out with our life experiences. So when Maria Duval says you created whatever challenges you're experiencing now, maybe not deliberately or consciously created them. It is your Subconscious.

Yes, you have a chance to unwind these layers of mud in your Subconscious so that you can release your maximum potentials in life.

Of course, the question is: how do you do that, if all this stuff, all these causes of the effects you don't want are buried deep in your subconscious?

That's why I seek our Maria Duval for her valuable guidance in this area. She's the expert!

Control Your Thoughts

2009-10-06T16:26:00.000+13:00

Even if you don't buy into the law of attraction, the concept still applies as much as anyone else as to you who are all living in this planet.

Maria Duval says the reason why law of attraction applies to all, whether to believers or disbelievers, is that it is a sure part of the universal laws.

We cannot limit how we think everyday, but we are able to be aware of our constant and recurring thought process, and this can be done simply by concentrating just a few minutes a day about our thoughts process and our inner feelings.

Maria says people attract bad things into lives unknowingly, even if nobody wants bad things to happen at all. The culprit is the subconscious mind that works within the law of attraction. What you consciously do not want has very little to do with it.

Maria Duval advises to spend about 10-15 minutes a day sitting or laying down in a quiet room, and start paying attention to what thoughts are crossing your mind. Meditation in another words.

After a few days practicing just as a watcher of your thoughts, try to replace any thought that you see as negative, by something you would like to have or would like to be.

Now you may have a total control of your thought which can allow you to literally transform your life.

Positive Affirmations

2009-10-02T19:52:00.002+13:00

Maria Duval has taught that it is extremely important for your well-being to imagine positive thoughts and belief into you such that your subconsciousness will welcome these to the extent that beneficial events like health and successes will blossom.

By frequent repetition of positive affirmations, one can go about to achieve this goal.

Repetition of strong positive affirmations possesses a real power. The repetition, whether conscious or subconscious, of negative thoughts, will end up manifesting in unlucky and unfavourable events in your life, whereas, the repetition of positive thoughts from a positive source of belief, will lead to success.

This principle from Maria Duval goes like this: by concentrating on a positive thought, you create and feel a positive reality. If you concentrate wealth, you will experience wealth. If you concentrate on your job success, you will experience your job success.

For example, "I am more and more convinced that great wonderful moments are coming to my life in the future", or "a positive mental attitude is an unlimited source of well-being, happiness, abundance, success and health."

Maria Duval says that most efficient method is to say them as often as possible throughout the day, in your head or read out. Think about its deeper meaning as you repeat them, allow them to sink into your mind.

The most important times to repeat it are of course in the morning when you just wake up or before you sleep in the evening.You can also write them down in large piece of papers and stick it on the wall so that you see them regularly.

I wish you to be positive and fruitful in life!

On Spiritual Practice

2009-10-01T16:53:00.003+13:00

It goes without any saying that most of the tasks in the world are the toughest right at the beginning. Similarly for spiritual practice. Maria Duval tells me that even though a person may have the best thoughts to better the quality of life and to connect more with one's partnership with own spirit, it is at the start that a divide must be formed among many other rivalling options so that what did not exist before can be given space within an otherwise squeezed and dedicated life.

Having determined to proceed with such a habit, the initial step that is needed is to: be basic. Embark on you can gain and don't hope to attempt what seems unlikely to do or infeasible to do. Slowly, higher degree of challenge can be appended.

Next, please be creative. What is most crucial in establishing contact with the indwelling Spirit and with the spiritual around oneself is to be in a place that feels sacred, a place that communicates a sense of the higher realms and of the invisible, not a place that is ordinary or filled with the vibrations of others. Allow your creativity to find a way to define or locate a sacred space in which you can create an altar which represents your commitment to your spiritual practice.

Also, be committed. Be obliging to settle in front of your altar and breathe quietly with your hand over your heart center in the center of your chest, allowing your mind to let go of thoughts as best as it can. In beginning, there is no more needed than this: to sit, to breathe, to bring energy to your heart center, to try to empty your mind.

Frequent practice of this very simple kind, whether for fifteen or twenty minutes daily as Maria Duval suggests, will begin to make an inroad into your body's knowledge of what is actually happening. It will begin to open the lines of communication between your everyday physical self and your soul-self that exists as another layer of your being.

Fear Not

2009-09-30T22:04:00.003+13:00

Do you feel things are not going your way? Does it ever seem like things aren't going you way? Does it ever seem like you're wondering, "How am I going to get out of this, how am I going to solve this? Why do I have to do this when I'd rather be doing that? How many I going to cope with the losses? How am I going to cope without a job?

Maria Duval says "Fear not". Life is all about attracting of good things in you.

You see, I realized that I had been attracting what I focused on with belief all of my life.

The problem was, in those days, most of what I focused on was what I did not want! Actually, most people make this mistake.

For example, most people are focusing on fear, lack and the negative headlines about world economy and end of world, and so it is no wonder that things continue to take a downward slide. Whenever there is a pullback in stock market, you will see hordes of doomsday analysts talking about "double dip" or another round of job slash.

Well on the whole, if we want to make the world a better place, then we will all need to learn how to think and behave more positively. We can’t just tell people to stop being negative because this will simply strengthen their attitude.

Latest Maria Duval Video

2009-09-28T16:09:00.006+13:00

For those who are still denying the existence of Maria Duval, or insisting that she is a fake, here is a very recent video of her I found at youtube.

It shows Maria Duval being interviewed in Russia in November 2008. In this interview, she made some predictions too. Personally, I really hope she can appear in the media more often so that people will look at her at a more positive light.

Deja vu

2009-09-25T16:02:00.001+12:00

"Deja vu" means you feel as though you have visited a place before, even though you were visiting it for the first time, or meeting someone for the very first time yet oddly feel that the face is strangely familiar, like you have met him or her years ago, but you are just unable to recall when you seem to have met the person. It happens to many people in their daily encounters, and it makes our lives interesting.

Recently, I met a vendor. When I opened my office door, that familiar feeling surged me, and I immediately told him about this familiar feeling. He sensed the same thing too, but we couldn't recall when was that...I not sure too, maybe i knew him in the past life?

That's a distinct possibility as I believe in such thing called past life. Maria Duval mentioned about past life too, as do many great spiritual men.

Subconsciously, your mind records your past events that happened in your past life and that's why you find it familiar today. Do you know that our subconscious is part of our spiritual soul and this soul accompanies you from life to life. It may appear absurd and this is the mystery where modern science can't solve or explain.

Ever heard about the story of a psychiatrist who hypnotized a patient. While in the hypnotic state, past life memories that were stored in the patient's subconscious mind were awakened and she gave stunning details of her past life experiences.

In Buddhism, there is always the mentioning of past life and how we are like and what place we life or what life we lead today is always linked to our past life. It's an external cycle of suffering and to break free from this endless cycle, one has to achieve the purest state of enlightenment. This is the core of the idea.

If you have ever wondered about the possibility of past lives, a little research may end any doubts that you may have had.

Precious Sleep

2009-09-24T13:56:00.002+12:00

Do you feel sleepy now? It seems many people are lacking sleep nowadays.

One of the most basic necessities of living things is sleep. In a lifetime, we spend time sleeping for nearly one third of it. Amazing isn't it?

Well, a lot of biological activities happens when we sleep, such as reinvigoration our "energies and detoxification of body organs.

If you are the kind who play computer games and party often through the night, Maria Duval's advice is please take care of your most precious asset which is your health. Even if you are very rich, paying money to go through the medical treatment is a mental and physical torture. So please have a good dose of sleep daily.

Sleep enables us to do things like to think and focus accurately. It helps us to do almost anything we wished and make us think more clearly and focus better. In the morning when you wake up, you feel that anything is possible. That's the power of a rest deserved rest!

Free from Fear

2009-09-22T13:31:00.003+12:00

One of the darkest forces in life is fear, which can be an overwhelming influence in your life, as it could decide negatively the kind of actions you embark or not in different kind of life situations. Fear can be a huge invisible but powerful obstacle which stops you from advancing in the life path. It could stop you from socialising, starting a romance, achieving a good career or keeping a loving family together.

Please imagine how your blissful your life would be like if you get rid of all your fears. Its like a load unburdened. Obviously you can't remove fear all at one go, even if you want to. Maria Duval says some of our fears help keep you safe by acting as some pre emptive warning signals. What I am talking here is the bad kind of fear - those that prevent you from living a proper and sane life. How would it feel to release those once and for all?

Just think, if you have no more fear of failure and you feel super sure of achieving anything you want without any limitations. In such an instance what would you do with your life? What would you do in your life?

Imagine if you were no longer afraid to pursue your dreams and instead eagerly embraced opportunities to live every experience you wanted to live. What would you do if you could do anything at all?

Maria Duval says that as we are all humans, It's completely natural to have these feelings, and there is nothing wrong with you.

However, it's important to understand that fear is just a feeling when it comes right down to it. It can't physically hold you back from doing anything, and it can't limit your potential unless you allow it to do so.

Free From Fear

Purpose of Life

2009-09-11T18:19:00.002+12:00

Nobody will think about this question when everything is running well in their life. This question will only show up when life gets a little bit of rugged edges, depending on individual's tolerance level.

I think we need a firm purpose to life only when being alive is not sufficient. I feel the most precious thing that you are alive. Right now, the biggest thing in your life is that you are alive.

The mind is always looking for a purpose because people have not experienced life in full. If your experience of life becomes deeper, your question will disappear. When the process of life becomes absolutely exuberant, it needs no purpose

You go to work, your purpose may be to make this much money or to take care of this or that. But if you go to a party, what is the purpose? No purpose. You just like to be there. If life became like one big party you would not wonder what the hell its purpose is. You just like to be there.

Life does not need a purpose; it is a purpose itself. It need not lead you on to something else. Just being exuberantly alive is sufficient unto itself.

Life does not need a purpose of reaching somewhere. That is the beauty of Creation.

Good deeds everyday

2009-09-10T14:05:00.002+12:00

Think of a time in your life where you willingly help someone from the bottom of your heart, and at the end of the day, you feel that you have done the best thing in the world. There is a sense of utter satisfaction and happiness when you see the people you have helped gradually get back into the groove of their lives.

When you help out willingly, you are using your true emotion and empathy to sincerely want to see improvements in other people's life. This is a very noble deed that builds positive harmony in your life.

That's a reason why, no matter how, I do my best to do something good each day. For example, just yesterday, I gave up a turn at a taxi stand to a pregnant woman who may be in a hurry to visit her doctor. The smile from her I got in return was simply brilliant. I felt great too.

That's why, everyday here in your life always remember to have a good deed to someone to make you good, even though there are times that when you help other people and by not asking whatever in return, they just ignore your concern and didn't lived a simple thanks.

Even though ou encounter this just be patient because up in heaven it counts and just it stil feel good. Even when you help other people and give you thanks you really feel more good.

Inspire and spirit

2009-09-09T18:15:00.003+12:00

When you are "there", I think inspiration will find you. So when and how can you be "there"? Where do I find the source of inspiration?

Personally I feel that inspiration will come to you and not the other way round.

This is not motivation I am talking about. Yes, motivation seems to be a basic life principle. If you are hungry, you get motivated to feed yourself. If you think you are short of money and want to buy something, get motivated yourself and think of ways to make some money or find ways around it.

Maria Duval tells me inspiration this word has special meaning. It means the word ‘inspire’ and ‘spirit’.

When I was younger, I remember taking the bus and always seeing a sign: “Courtesy Is Contagious”

Inspiration is like that. You can inspire by your actions, by your attitude, and by your example

Like enlightenment, inspiration can happen at any time, anywhere. You can find yourself inspired by an insect, a note of music, and of course, language.

Be Fearless..

A very real dream

2009-09-08T17:51:00.002+12:00

What a beautiful and shadowy full moon... Has anyone noticed any increase in their intuitive/spiritual experiences the last couple of days? I have had some intense dreams of an emotional nature, but that usually happens near the full moon.

I have a feeling that with this new sun we are to experience more and more of these amazing dreams and intuitions. The light of the moon is after all the suns reflection. And a reflection is the meaning of us, when we look within.

My dreams in this last whole month have been very vivid, and I can remember all my dreams as soon as I wake-up.

I also had a psychic dream that my sister would be home late from work, and she wouldn't be able to meet us on time for our family dinner. And my mom was displeased as she disliked us being not punctual.

Yes, during full moon period, my dreams are uncannily real.

Beneficial meditation

2009-09-07T18:59:00.002+12:00

About meditation, inspired by Maria Duval.

If you know how to meditate in a right way, this spiritual technique can bring wonderful results for your body and soul. Yes it can be uneasy initially to completely set aside the self-conscious thoughts and put yourself at ease, but if you do it consistenly, it could possibly reap you untold benefits.

The main reason why meditation is picking up in interests among the mass is because it is a decent way to achieve relaxation by helping you to switch off the toxic pressures resided at your brain and mind. It can even help physically relax the muscles and ease some of the pain for people recovering from injury or suffering through painful physical conditions.

I have meditated for a few months and it is really superb. Mind's clear and ticks better. Overall mood is better too. Maria Duval says if you are proned to depression, meditation is really a great tip to get you off to the rehabilitation road. I trust what she says...

With thanks, again.

Precious stone power

2009-09-04T20:50:00.001+12:00

Maria Duval says that if you like dealing with declaration as well as chants, in that case why not make better the power and vibrational level behind them to manage them even better in your life. You can make sure of this with precious stone power and reverberating level bring about.

A fun and painless way to sort out this is with a Rhodonite. You can find this generally at your local new age or holistic store, and even on internet too. Just bear in mind when looking for your new precious stone to select the one that vibrates inside you.

Immediately after you have your brand new reverberating friend, call to mind to purify and charge this to your own individual power auras as well prior to opening your declaration or mantra act.

Yes, according to Maria Duval, as soon as you are ready to get underway, grasp your Rhodonite in sandwiched between your fingers when reciting your affirmations or mantras. Make sure of this each day for 7 succeeding days to make better their power and capability in your life.

Some folks feel extra at ease holding this within their main hand, and that is ok as well. I have noticed though a marked significance in the two various sessions with my own effort as well as customers as well as disciples, and have found extra effective outcomes with using both hands.

Maria Duval reminds to rtemember to wear or bring this around with you for at least the 7 days you are working with it, if not longer. You can keep on to perform with the Rhodonite subsequently the 7 days to give rise to an even stronger connection if you wish, as this depends on what your affirmation or mantra is for and what you are working on to bestow this new energetic and vibrational power.

Act of Forgiveness

2009-09-01T15:31:00.003+12:00

I have a former colleague who I resent a lot, even to the extent of wishing bad things will happen to him. I know this is very bad yet the circumstances are really unforgiving to me because he as a very powerful figure who backs him at my previous workplace. I'm not sure why we couldn't develop a fruitful working relationship. Maybe I have some problems which I can't realise myself?

About 1 year later, I resigned from that company and was extremely glad to see the back of that building. The resentment still lingers, as we are both highly competitive. This is certainly no gentleman agreement between us. We just went all out to impress the top boss with our drawings.

So here I am, reading about Maria Duval's guide for forgiveness and getting rid of resentment in my calm and relaxed study room overlooking some lush greenery.

I whisper to myself: "I forgive Mr Txxxxxxxn, and I forgive you for taking away my work" (I won't write out the real reason here, of course)

So now, I will do my best to repeat this proclaimation at least 2 to 3 times a week until I've totally feel at ease towards this experience. Maria tells me once I have achieved a sense of re-established harmony and goodwill, visualise Mr T. once more. He should be standing in front of me and say:

"Thank you. Now I release you."

Also, call out loud "I forgive myself for......"

Maria Duval says this method of forgiveness is very powerful. Thanks Maria.

Is there really peace?

2009-08-31T15:00:00.005+12:00

Last day of August. Time flies!

Just a short post today as I feel drained.

More people are bogged down by emotional issues nowadays. Signs like feeling depressed, worried, nervous, fearful, and so on. In a beautiful planet when blue skies and green pristine oceans, we ought to be inspired with abundance and feel relaxed, peaceful and satisfied. However, whenever we flip the newspaper pages or watching the media news, what we read and hear are highly negative news everyday from everywhere...

A lot of people when being asked says that they would want "Peace", from beauty pagent contestants, to politicians, to religious leaders, to children, to the average person on the street states. That there would be no war in this world. Hence I believe that as long as humans exist there will never be peace on earth.

Believe in yourself

2009-08-28T15:44:00.003+12:00

Belief! Yes, you must always believe in yourself. That's the last vestige of pride one may have when all others around stop believing you.!

Believe that you can earn more money, believe that you can do it, believe that you can change something. Believe that no matter what happens, you can overcome it, no matter how grave the situation might be or cannot be changed or controlled. Believe in yourself and trust that the Universal will give you powers to change it. Of course, this does not mean you just slack off at home and expect money to grow underneath your mattress.

Next, do you ever feel satisfied when you have food, home, education and job? If you never feel satisfied with things around you, you will never happy!

As we live on, we must satisfy ourself and should not expect too much from others or push the blame on others when something bad happens. To lead a better and more peaceful existence, we should learn what we have now, what we will have in future.

If you not satisfied when you only can own a small house, you should think of many people who are homeless. We must not expect too much from people as if you want to expect much from people, you should also give something in return. And never expect any return if you want to help anyone.

My Magical Amulets

2009-08-27T20:18:00.003+12:00

I carry Maria Duval's magical amulet with me whenever I am working or outside from house. I believe it gives spiritual protection that can help prevent negativity and dark entities from being drawn to me and attacking or draining me energies.

It is a fact that magic amulets have been with us for thousands of years. There has to be a base on why ancient humans were so enamoured with talismans and why magick was so popular in ancient human history.

Before I wear it, I always do my best to charge and strengthen the amulet before placing it around my neck. Maria says the best time to purify the amulet is when the moon is full and after midnight.

Hope you can receive the protection soon too~

Maria Duval: Why We Should Lead A Balanced Life

2009-08-26T18:06:00.001+12:00

If you are a balanced person, you use up energy in an even and level manner. You will rarely have any ups and downs emotionally or one minute of high spirits while the sagging spirits in the next minute. Through balance or level-headedness, you are protected from temperamental swings.

Psychic Maria Duval says that people who are level-headed are calm and they can face up to any adverse situations confidently and successfully. This is a virtue as it brings self-confidence and self-control. A level-headed person is not dominated by his peers but he governs and controls it.

Maria Duval also suggests to train to be level-headed by repeating "I have a single aim in my life. This is to improve myself - intellectually, socially or morally." Say it as often as you can so that you can absorb its positive energy.

One thing is sure though is that you cannot be well-balanced in life if you are torn between two different aims. The aim of improving yourself encompasses all your interests. This suggestion brings your calmness and helps helps you to remain poised.

And begin by getting into the habit of putting some thought into your actions. Once you have decided to do something, think about it before you go ahead. If you always establish a plan before you take action, you will not get bogged down with unforeseen tasks. And if the unexpected happens, you will be able to cope with it without losing sight of your initial plan, by using the power of your concentration.

Maria Duval adds that do not allow yourself to get easily ruffled. Remain calm and indifferent to the things that happen to annoy you and to the reasons for them. If something bad happens, if a vexing situation arises, say to yourself, "everything will be fine, everything will work out". And most importantly, do not ever let panic taking over the control when you are faced with a stronger adversary or else you won't have lost the balance you have been practising all the time. Remain calm and steady and your oppenents who want to see you dejected will be defeated.

Food rules

2009-08-25T14:23:00.002+12:00

Food is our essence of life and hence what we swallow down our throats has a big impact on our mood and feeling. I think this is very true because I suffered from depression a few years ago - not those major attack, and I got out about 1 week later.

I find when I eat right, that is to say a balanced diet including lots of fruit and veggies, I have more energy and I feel more focused and alert. Personally, I feel we should consume about 50% of vege, grains, nuts and fruits, while the remaining the rest split between meat and carbo.

I'm not sure it is totally true. I observe that when I don't follow these nutritional rules, I feel lethargic and uninspired. Normal tasks just seem a bit more difficult.

If possible, I avoid excessive alchohol, caffeine and sugary stuff. A moderate bit of red wine daily appeals to me as i read it is very helpful to maintain a good blood circulation.

Staying motivated

2009-08-24T17:42:00.002+12:00

So you think you self motivated each day when you get up in the morning at the snooze of the alarm? Do you spring out of bed eager to face the day with good enthusiasm and vigour?

Energy is one of the main components to motivation. In order to get things done maintain high reserves of energy. The more energy you have the more you will be able to do.

You will find that if you can get going and keep going you'll start to gain momentum. When you get momentum even difficult task become easier to deal with because you'll find that you are on a roll.

Maintain a well balanced diet, exercise regularly and get plenty of rest. This will help you build a high energy level.

The other key part of motivation is memory. Use your memory to recall past successes.

Maria Duval explains that exercise will do wonders for my confidence and my ability to bounce back after disappointments. She adds that rather than dwelling on failures, simply replay my past victories over and over again in my mind. That's a sure way to recharge your mind power!

Thinking about past successes when facing new challenges also dissipates nervousness and eliminates procrastination. You simply say to yourself, "I've done it before, so I know I can do it again." Then you get to it and get it done!

Happy or sad? Up to you.

2009-08-21T17:39:00.003+12:00

Maria says through meditation, we can be healthy and cheerful. Easily put, you are what you think and feel.

Our thinkings and mental processes can improve or degrade our health, whether we know it or not. Negative thinking is a habit ingrained in us.

Similarly, Maria Duval tells me that positive thoughts can be a habit in me through self conditioning and meditation which basically brings the brain waves into alpha rhythm where you experience a feeling of well-being and calmness.

The brain likes this feeling so each time you meditate you create a positive response within the mind. Gradually you look forward to and make time for your meditation sessions. In turn, you become happier for longer and longer until you retain a feeling of contentment within you.

Again, what I suggest is that like all things in life, we all have a choice to be happy or sad.

Reiki is like a water flow

2009-08-20T14:31:00.002+12:00

I have learned Reiki before, and this is one of my favourite topic. Reiki has been in my life for more than one year and its now a odd routine for me for as long as I would be alive.

Like all spiritual techniques, there are various forms of Reiki, particularly when it comes to blockages. Reiki is able to deal with these energy blockages in you so that you can be a more physical and energetic person.

I have heard that when there is a blockage, you can't fully utilise the goodness of Reiki. But I beg to differ. Even if there is a blockage, Reiki will still flow through your whole physical and spiritual body by another way around till the blockage is removed. It's just like a change in direction when a gush of water flow meets a big boulder in the middle of a stream. The water flows around the boulder.

Reiki is a easily learnable gift that anyone can pick up and apply Its energetic flow and force is similar to that of a water flow. Constant, continuous, and full of life's energy, Reiki will flow through your physical, spiritual and energetic bodies as well.

Subsconsious

2009-08-19T13:39:00.002+12:00

As you probably know, we only use about 5 to 10% of our brain power. That is very little, isn't it? Imagine how the world will be if everyone uses just 20% of the level. The reason why we use so little is because we only need this much for our daily activities, like walking, eating, learning, and so forth. We don't really require more level of intellect when we are dealing with these.

Maria says we also possess a mysterious source of power, called the Subconscious which is a gift from the Higher One to us human beings. The Subconscious has immerse power and as you guess it, most people don't even aware of its existence. If one is able to tap on its depth, one can truly inspire and achieve truly outstanding outcomes.

In a simple explanation, Subconscious is simply the Infinite Intelligence that made you what you are. The Intelligence that has manufactured your body from tiny cells which have multiplied indefinitely, from infant to your adulthood.

Maria Duval explains to me that this is the truly superior difference that make human the Lord among the living things in this Earth. We are regarded as the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe. Calling upon this Intelligence that is within you is also same as calling our Inner Guide or our Soul. It is our best friend, our life buddy that follows us wherever we go. It is always there to help you when you call upon it.

Hmmm... how can I tap more on it? Sometimes I feel so unchartered in life despite all the assurances.

Express your gratitude

2009-08-17T18:13:00.002+12:00

There is this analogy about expressing gratitude. Some people feel shy about expressing gratitude. It is like you have wrapped a birthday present for a friend, but decided not to give it to that friend.

I'm sitting in my garden today, on a beautiful, cool and sunny day, looking out over my plants, with Mozart playing at the background. Yes it is so relaxing moment. I found myself pausing in my enjoyment to reprimand myself for not saying thank you often enough. I don't mean thank you in the sense of thanking someone for a favor that they have done. What I mean is paying tribute to the world in which we live which provides us with an abundance of everything and also infinite opportunities.

Maria Duval stresses the importance of expressing your thanks and gratitude over and over again. It must be something spiritually beneficial.

Whether or not you have faith in terms of a particular religion is not what I am really getting at here. I'm merely noting that faith, hope and gratitude are all essential to being happy in this life. You tend to find that these three things go hand in hand and also that people who are successful and happy experience these sentiments as a major part of their habitual nature.

Expressing gratitude in itself directs ones attention to what you have as opposed to what you do not have. In a world where there are so many dissatisfied people, who always want more, one wonders if these people have ever learned to say thank you for what they have already got.

Let's take a moment to relax, breathe deeply, hold our hands together, close our eyes and say a huge and heart-felt thank you for the abundance in this world and for the endless opportunities which we are lucky enough to be able to pursue.

Foundation of our ideas

2009-08-14T17:46:00.003+12:00

All new thoughts and ideas start at the mind and they must be built on a strong foundation or it will collapse. It is just like a 50 story building which is built on a very strong and deep foundation. The stronger it is, the higher the construction can go. This means the greater we can soar is all based on the foundation of our mind.

Yes, everyone can agree that your mind is the most powerful gift you have.

"The imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous and inconceivable force the world has ever known". Said Napoleon Hill.

To realize the full power of your mind, it's important to understand there are three main parts of it. The conscious mind is the part that thinks and reasons. The subconscious mind is the part that carry's out the commands given by the conscious mind. Lastly, the body is part of the mind too. It carry's out the consistent thoughts we put upon it.

Maria Duval thinks that the power of your mind can work for or against you. All depending on how you use it. If you constantly think about what you don't want then you'll have a strong likelihood of creating what you don't want. One must focus on what you really want. Something that creates the passion the core desire.

Youthful experience

2009-08-13T15:05:00.003+12:00

I remember vividly what it was like when I was a child. The sense of sight and feel was really magical. I remember I was running around barefooted around the mountainous region of my grandpa's house and feeling the impact of physical senses coming my way. It was very a strong touch and my young mind and body were naturally filled with all the feelings, sounds, tastes and smells to give me youthful spiritual nourishment.

Without any hesitation, that was the pleasures of life, even for an eight year old.

Now I understand from Maria that these inspiring experiences are in truth the results of Positive Being. It is this wonderful, healing and beautiful quality that is always present within us. It is like a sun inside of us that can spread out its rays brilliantly in all directions illuminating all of our positive aspects. When we allow this radiance to enter all aspects of ourselves each and every second will be filled with wonderful feelings of joy and happiness.

All of our potential is held in the realm of Positive Being. It is full of positive thoughts, feelings, images, experiences, skills, visions and abilities. The benefits of our positive being is that it allows us to enjoy new dimensions of our lives and deepen our understandings of all aspects of our life.

Unfortunately, most of us don't care about this experience when we grow up. All that in our minds are working hard for a living and money. These are good, however, I feel when chances arise, we must let go and experience those youthful experience again..

Dream about a ring

2009-08-11T20:34:00.003+12:00

I had a strange dream. On the weekend, I again lost something. This time a ring I have been wearing on my left index finger on months. It was a simple looking peridot ring and I like it a lot. After some frantic search, I declared its status as MISSING. My lovely wife replaced it for me with another similar one the next day. I was so feel of love for her.

Deep inside, I have a feeling that my old ring is somewhere misplaced in my house. On the same night, I had a dream in which I dreamed that I was in a particular room - not sure which is the one - and on one corner of that room, I saw my wife's grandma sitting on the armchair reassuring me that the ring would be found.

Then my sister-in-law who was sitting opposite to her was told by her to move a handkerchief above a jug or container and then she opened it and gave me the new ring I was given by my wife.

I told her that this was not the ring I was looking for and then she told my sister-in-law to do the same trick again. She gave me exactly the same ring for a second time and told her that this wasn't again the ring I was looking for.

Grandma replied that the ring was lost and then out of nowhere my wife appeared and he offered me another ring, a huge gold one with a big clear emerald stone.

I was very surprised by the shape and size of the ring and I found myself wondering why my wife would give it to me... That was when she knocked her elbow on my chest as she turned. I woke up feeling very vivid about this dream. I jotted the dream scape down on a note book besides the bed and back to sleep again....

Interesting, huh?

Seek Peace

2009-08-07T19:47:00.002+12:00

What is Peace?

Is it when we are not conflicted? Where we are able to relax?

In my view, these are wrong. Let me explain.

Maria Duval says "Peace is where almost all problems of yours are gone"...It's a bit dark, isn't it?

But, with peace means you have acknowledged and dealt with your problems, not push them away. If you constantly refuse these problems, you will not be able to grow. Peace doesn't mean push off everything and relax. It means you have done everything and then do a lot a 'laxing. Peace does not mean you're perfect because we are all human and make mistakes in our life.

Working toward peace is a step closer to enlightenment, as well as other steps below it. Of course, don't push your self too hard in becoming peaceful because you might become a workaholic and burn yourself out day by day, not enjoying life.

Once you find peace in yourself, you find happiness almost constantly.

Purpose of Life

2009-08-06T18:02:00.002+12:00

What is the purpose of life? On a day when you are bursting with happiness, did you ask this question? No. Only when life gets a little sedate and depressing you ask. You need a purpose to life only when being alive is not sufficient.

Right now, the biggest thing in your life is that you are alive. The stock market going up or down is not the biggest thing, you being alive right now is. Everything else is secondary. But most people are not aware of it.

If your experience of life becomes deeper, your question will disappear. When the process of life becomes absolutely exuberant, it needs no purpose. You go to work, your purpose may be to make this much money or to take care of this or that. But if you go to a party, what is the purpose? No purpose, you just like to be there. If life became like one big party you would not wonder what the hell its purpose is. You just like to be there. Life does not need a purpose; it is a purpose unto itself. It need not lead you on to something else.

After some time you wonder what the purpose of life is because you do not see anything in full; this is the nature of sense perception. It is about seeing beyond the sensory eyes. It means that the ability to see has transcended the limitations of sense perception. Sense perception is such that if i just cover these eyes with my hands, they cannot see beyond them. And in the physical world, there is always something or the other which is blocking perception. So when we say "third eye", it means knowing life in its full depth and dimension.

Though life is made in such a way that it does not need a purpose, to encourage people to explore life a little more, we can say that the purpose of life is to know it in its full depth and dimension; otherwise, you will not understand that life does not need a purpose. Once you grasp that you don't need a purpose, just to be alive is great

We dream about

2009-08-05T15:29:00.001+12:00

Dreams are the part of life. These are a sign of images, ideas and emotions made up in your mind. These are shown often when you are asleep. These dreams are some sort of person's living desire. Mostly people in the world want to fulfill their dreams. These dreams can be anything related to their choices like money, success, fame or some sort of choice.

Every person in this huge world has a dream about something. But this is a separate part that some of them want to fulfill their dream and some of them just see the dream and forget them when they wake up the next morning. Dreams can be of any sort like it can be about fear, horror, happiness, joy e.t.c...

Dreams can be followed only if you have the complete desire to fulfill them. Dreams are the part of life which are not preplanned. They are often seen when a person is slept. And it is said that dreams are the part of your mind. Whatever you think before sleeping, you usually see the dream related to that thought of yours.

Following your dreams is a nice idea if and only if your dream is meaningful for you. You can follow your dreams by filling the desire in you. The desire of yours can make it possible for you to follow your dreams. All you need is to work hard if you want your dreams to come true. Whatever your dream is, just make it your aim that you have to fulfill it, no matter what you have to do for it.

Getting the desired outcome

2009-08-04T17:45:00.002+12:00

We all have habits. Can be good or bad habits, which are something we do over and over again, repeatedly, and we all enjoy spending time repeating it. Sometimes there is an objective, which has good intention to self improve, but we expect to do the same thing with different result and outcome. We think "maybe this time will be different", or

Is it insanity - doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?
Hope not, more likely you have fallen into habits that just aren't letting you get the results you desire or dream of.

I think if there is insanity, pick it from where you fail, drop the bad parts off your chest, and learn from this experience. This is the magic formula.

So repeat, do commit to learning what you need to change, start or stop doing to get the results you want instead of the results you continue to get. You are responsible for the results you have been getting so far, and you will be responsible for the results you get in the future.

Wouldn't it be nice to be responsible for getting the results you desire and dream of?

There is hope, there is life

2009-08-03T18:12:00.002+12:00

When there is hope, there is life. Yes, HOPE is the main driving force in our lives. Hope propels us forward and makes our life worthy of living on. When there is hope, we can be patient and dream about the better futures. Positive thinking will enhance the life standards and reduces the stress levels.

Maria Duval says we should never let despair take over us for every simple defeat we face in life. Don't be always in a hurry mood, as hurry makes you worry. Have the patience and wait for some more time looking hopefully for the result. Certainly you will get the good result, as per the hard labor put by you.

Never show sympathy upon yourself. Instead you make yourself more capable and dependable...Never allow anxiety to overtake you. Develop this type of thinking as, still what I have to do? It is very difficult to please everyone always.

Never afraid of the changes that may occur in the circumstances where you are working but try adjust to them which gives relief from stress and strain. Be of the opinion that you are helping others and not think like that others are utilizing you.

You have got your thinking capacity and you need not depend on others for simple things. Speak to others sincerely and live heart fully. Always laugh with others (it is not good to laugh at others). Be friendly with others as far as possible. Be plain in your dealings. A sincere person is always liked by others.

More of an optimist

2009-07-31T18:26:00.002+12:00

I think I am an optimist. That day, I dropped my wallet in a small shopping mart. Maybe my mind was in a dazed state. I just couldn't remember what were the places that I went to that I might drop it. Instead of sighing that was the end of the world, I told myself maybe someone would call me up. Of course, i was retracing where i had been too at the same time. Fair enough, about half an hour later, the shop guy called me up. The feeling was indescribable - as if you had scaled some tallest mountain around.

That's why I think i have gradually tuned from a pessimist to an optimist, who always thinks of positive outcomes for whatever might have happened. Fair enough again, things do not always turn out positively..things will get that smack in the face feeling sometimes. It just a kind of mindset that people should try to adopt. If majority of the poeple are positive thinkers in this world, imagine how nice this place would be.

I learn from Maria Duval to tune my mindset to be more positive.

- Always think positive. Always hope for good things. Don't take negative events seriously, and don't criticize yourself. Instead, tell yourself next time I'll do better and move on.

- If you've worked for months on a project, reward yourself for completing it, despite the consequences. Do something good without any reason. It will help you be more optimistic.

- If someone's attitude is negative towards you, or you're treated rudely by a customer service representative, don't get angry. Give them a big smile; your positive attitude may compel them to change their negative attitude.

- Because of a lot of work, tension builds up in your muscles. This tension should be released through exercise. This will make you feel relaxed.

- Very important. Spend time with optimists. However, they are in rarity...you have to treasure them if you find them.

Is Magic Real?

2009-07-30T14:47:00.001+12:00

In the Harry Potter movies we watch children play Quidditch on a broomstick and little wizards and witches casting quick spells here and there with their magic wands. In the movie, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," we watch martial arts heroes literally flying among the trees to fight. These days we're flooded with all kinds of movies that bring magic into our lives. With all this new found interest in magic, most people are asking, "Is magic real?" What do you think? Is magic real and can you really have magic in your life?

Yes. Magic is very real and has existed as a precise science for thousands of years. Whether you call it magic, magick or majick, it is real. Every single person can learn to do magic. We were ALL born with the talents and abilities that empower us to do magic. The only reason that magic seems so, well, magical is that this society no longer teaches the art and science of magic. In the distant past, magical study was just as important as math, science or the arts. Even the miracles that Jesus performed were based on the use of magic. In fact, magic was and still is the birthright of EVERY planetary citizen.

Can you learn to do the kind of magic portrayed in the movies? Yes - and no. The movies are great at giving you a taste of what you can do with magic, but they aren't very accurate. In the Harry Potter movies, for instance, the characters use their wands for every magical operation. In reality, you can only use the wand to handle air energies. Your wand would actually explode or catch fire if you tried to use it to throw firebolts and fireballs like the characters do in the movie.

So what can you actually do with magic? Quite a lot. Here's a short list to get you started:

- Balance your energies for healing and manifestation

- Change old beliefs

- Defend yourself against physical and psychic attack

- Heal yourself and others

- Find hidden information and see possible futures

- Psychically communicate with other beings

- Create sacred space

- Find lost people and objects

- Manifest what you want and need in life

At the very basis of magic is the understanding of the four elements: Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Called elemental magic, these foundational elements are real. Air, Fire, Water and Earth are part of our natural everyday environment. What makes them magical is the understanding of how they operate not just on the physical level, but also at the levels of mind and Spirit.

For instance, while on the physical level Air is just the stuff we breathe, on the magical levels Air is the conduit of psychic communication, enlightenment, understanding, dreaming and more. If you want more of any of these things in your life, then you need more magical Air. How do you get more magical Air? Wear more Air colors, including white for communication and sky blue for enlightenment and understanding. To take this one step further, you could also take on more Air to make your body lighter.

By just extending your understanding and use of the basic ingredients of nature, you are doing magic! Seen in this light, magic isn't all smoke and mirrors, nor is it the result of Hollywood special effects. Magic is the result of truly understanding and working with the very elements that are all around you.

One final note: Many masters, including Wayne Dyer, have said, "You'll see it when you believe it." The same is true for magic. In other words, the suspension of disbelief and the willingness not to exercise contempt prior to investigation are requirements for magic to be "real." Magic is all around us, and always is, but our ability to perceive and use the forces of magic depends on our willingness to be open. No one else can show it to you, only your direct experience and observation can "prove" or demonstrate to you that magic is real.

We've found that one of the simplest ways to experience magic (and your own magical abilities) is to work with clouds. Clouds respond to your intention, and you can easily move, shape and manipulate clouds from a great distance. And moving clouds that are suspended hundreds of feet above you is quite magical, isn't it?

Become Free

2009-07-29T14:49:00.000+12:00

We are slaves. Every day we wake up and go to work to get money. Then we buy things with that money. Lying on our death bed are we ever going to be proud of the things we bought? Will those objects make our lives worth living? No. We are going to remember the people and the memories we had with them. The work force, however, bears down on us limiting the time we get to enjoy our children, family, and friends. Put an end to this.

We need to get a grip on reality. There is no guidance in alcohol, the news, music. The only guidance there is that exists is that steady pull that we feel deep in our souls. That pull that guides us to where we are supposed to be. Society pounds that out of you from the moment you are born. We are bred to be consumers that exist to make others rich. We constantly walk around day dreaming because we cannot stand this reality. We must take back our existence!

Become free. In whatever way you can.

Live by the sea

2009-07-24T19:02:00.002+12:00

Maria Duval says water is flow of harmony and we are made up mainly of water...

One of my wishes is to live by the sea, preferably on a cliff about half a kilometer away from the waves. Whenever I need inspiration, I can just step to the roof and look at the blue sea further down, and instantly, worries and stresses would be relieved. Ideas might even flow!

One a open sunny day, I might even see some ocean liners moving past at the far horizon. To make it better, I would install a viewing binoculars at the roof so that I can look further. At night I can even learn about zodiac and astrology by looking at the stars in the wide southern hemisphere sky.

Just right below of my house down the gentle cliff slope, there will be carpet of wild plants that dance with the sea breeze. They are in brilliantly emerald green and lush in the sunlight. In the distance I can see the vague outline of some off shore islets and sometimes when I am lucky, can even catch some seals resting by the stones when i peep through the scope.

It is difficult to describe the peacefulness induced by this natural scene. The water laps backwards and forwards on the beach and birds glide lazily upon a gentle breeze. The scene is constantly peaceful, and constantly changing. There is motion and movement in a cyclical harmonious way.

As I have not stayed by the sea in this life, I'm frankly no idea how nice the feeling would be. Maybe the breeze would be too strong for comfort, and on a stormy day, it may even looking scary! What I do know is that everyone who lives inland has a yearning for the sea. Even those who suffer a fear of water still tend to love the sight of the sea or the ocean.
