Chakra Angels

Would you like to add another layer to clearing or working within your Chakras? Ask for help from the Chakra Angels. 


Beginning with the Earth Star Chakra, the one located beneath your feet and anchored into the Earth, call upon Archangels Sandalphon and Raquel to make your work more powerful. Sandalphon is a Protector of the Earth and also a Master of Music. Sandalphon carries prayers and petitions and assists with thoughts and wishes. With his connection to Earth he is the perfect angel to ask for help in balancing yourself. His female partner, Raquel also works with balance, harmony and order.

When working with the Base Chakra, the one located at the base of the trunk of your body, ask for AA Gabriel and AA Hope. Gabriel and Hope will help with deeply rooted habits and addictions that are held in the Base Chakra. If there are abuse issues, they will help with inner purification so that you are able to absolve those memories and lead a full, confident life.

AA Uriel and AA Aurora work with the Solar Plexus and your creativity. The Solar Plexus is one of the places where we manifest what we need or desire. If you are feeling stuck or need to create prosperity, call up Uriel and Aurora to jump start the energy to help this Chakra operate properly.

The Heart Chakra is assisted by Archangels Chamuel and Charity. Chamuel energizes a strong heart. Call upon him when you need to be brave whether physically or spiritually. Charity will help you find compassion in your heart for those around you and for yourself too.

The Great Defenders, Michael and Faith help with the Throat Chakra. As God spoke and created, so too are we able to create through our Throat Chakra. Michael is most famous for his sword that cuts through to the truth, whatever the circumstance may be. Also a defender as Michael, Faith is someone who will help you keep the faith of truth and justice. Call upon her if you feel you are being treated unfairly, especially in the courts.

The Third Eye and healing are the responsibility of Archangels Raphael and Mary. They help keep us healthy through our emotions and feelings, bringing clarity to situations through another perspective (our Third Eye).

The Archangel for the Crown Chakra is Christiel who will help you keep this channel open so that you are fully connected to The Universal Force. If you want to find your Crown Chakra, think of the soft spot on a baby's head. That's where it is located.

Call upon AA Zadkiel and AA Mariel when working with your Soul Star Chakra. Located above our physical heads, the Soul Star Chakra is directly connected to the Purple Ray, whose purpose is to help us see ourselves clearly, our authentic selves and to recognize our Divine Potential. Work with the Chakra is you can't see to find why you have come into the incarnation.

Finally, the Stellar Gate is maintained by Metatron and Seraphina. The Eye of God, the Still Point, here is where we connect to our life's purpose. Located out in the Auric Field, the Stellar Gate gifts us with perceptive thoughts and a larger consciousness. Work with Metatron and Seraphina to find your life's purpose. Metatron and Saraphina also focus on peace and love for your life.

Each of these Archangels are ready and willing to help you work within your Chakras to change your being and your life. They are easily assessable through meditation, prayer or a simple help. You will find your work more powerful if you use the assistance of Archangels.

While creating some synergies for a client today, I came across this book and felt such joy emanating from it's pages I had to share it...

Vibrational Healing: Revealing the Essence of Nature through Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

Here's a couple reviews-

Everyone searches to magically transform their lives... takes you from the mundane confusion... and shows you the way to yourself. -- Shelley Winn Damon, National Federation of Spiritual Healers, Austin, Texas

I was amazed. I have witnessed exciting results,both with myself and clients,when combining Deborah's techniques. -- Linda Olger, Registered Nurse, Massage Therapist, Atlanta, Georgia

Description

In a therapeutic blend bringing together Chinese Medicine, reflexology, and cranial sacral therapy, massage therapist Deborah Eidosn shows how essential oils and Bach Flower Remedies can be used to identify and free up emotional blockages which may be causing you problems.Eidson explains that all chakras have a location associated with organs, as well as a sound, color, and element. Giving a good massage can involve stimulating meridians and meridian points, finding the location of blocked energy, and then working with oils to affect change.

African Sandalwood Essential Oil

African Sandalwood essential oil;
I love the scent of Sandalwood….deep, sweet, woody, and so relaxing, perfect for meditation, and repairing skin. It also reminds me of a dear friend who isn’t with us anymore, but her memory lives on each time I catch a whiff of the mesmerizing aroma of sweet sandalwood.
The documented use of Sandalwood goes back 4000 years to India, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Many temples and structures were built from Sandalwood and the Egyptians used it in embalming.
There’s so much to love about it, no wonder it’s one of the world’s most expensive essential oils/resins. The Sandalwood from the Mysore region of India is the most famous type and is known for it’s exquisite scent; the Santalum album is the best sandalwood in the world. But, don’t despair if you can’t afford the Indian Sandalwood, here is a different kind of sandalwood from Africa that carries it’s own exquisite properties.

Eat Fruit to Cure Cancer, Stay Healthy and Lose Weight!

EATING FRUIT...

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

By far, this is the best advice I've ever seen on eating fruits. Please share this with everyone you know. :)
