PERSONAL MEDITATION CANDLES

Thank you for visiting this blog which I hope is going to help as many of you as possible. As you know I am a qualified Spiritual Healer and it is through listening to messages, ideas and inspirations that I have been able to change my life for the better. That is that I now feel that my prayers are heard and answered but had I not been listening and tuned in this may not have been the case. These words in this blog are my own, they have not been copied and pasted and they come from my heart.  Up until 3 years ago I had never ever spent quiet time alone with myself. I did not even know what it was and had never given it a single thought. During my healer training I learnt so much about myself and it was as if a switch had been flicked and an apparent flow of abundant thoughts was now available to me. During my own quiet times I have seen an angel, the hand of one of my birth angels and many other darting pictures, scenes and colours. The colours that came in very early on were purple and yellow and these a colours that some of my clients report seeing during a healing session... Well purple is of course the colour that represents healing itself and yellow represents the sun and the solar plexus. I saw these images by focusing upon my third eye and looking at what is called the mind screen. That dark place that is there when our eyes are closed. This is where many visions in my opinion become available to us. 

For those of you who have purchased one of my candles, this is my advice for you which I hope will help to get you started. Remember your candle already has an energy inside of it because I have made it with an intention in mind personally for you. Every one of the candles are unique and will have been filled with love and healing intentions.  I was guided to do this by way of a message I received into my physical mind and believe me making candles was never something I had ever considered. The thing is when you are given an idea it is very important to act on it as soon as possible. This is all part of working with the sacral chakra and giving birth to ideas gives a vitality to our lives which I believe is the key to happiness... Many people disregard thoughts as imagination. I don't!!!!! I act on these thoughts normally the very same day and boy do the Angels keep me busy. The thing is I believe you too can find this place which I think simply means "finding your life's purpose" ..... 

So your candle is now in your possession.... You have unwrapped it..... You have removed the lid and you have smelt the fragrance..... Many of you will have had a feather inside the candle too ( the angels leave me lots of these and every one  has been found by me on my walks)    now you think to yourself " right time for some me time" 

It is really important that you find a nice clean space to have your ME TIME and it is important that it is quiet, Undisturbed and free from TV and mobile phones.... You need to be sure that you can sit for at least 20 minutes and be still. Many people say that they cannot meditate. Well there is no such thing. If you manage to sit quietly and shut away the outside world then you have managed it. It is not a pass or fail and with time you will learn to relax a little more. In fact the first few times you may even give up but I urge you to carry on.  Light your flame and as you do so say a little affirmation to yourself or out loud. For example...

"This candle is going to help me to connect with the divine"

"This candle will help to show me the next steps to take"

"This candle is my link with home"

"This candle is my inner light and will be the answer to my prayers"

Make sure that you say this affirmation every time you light it. This is because that way the energy builds in the candle. Thus making it stronger every time... Next set your intention...  e.g

"My aim is to be still for the next 20 mins".   

"My aim is to connect with my inner self"

"My aim is to listen to my higher self"

Now sit down in a comfortable chair, palms up on the knees and feet firmly on the floor.  With your eyes still open stare at the flame. This is called a trataka meditation and involves staring or gazing at an object.  Look at the flame for a minute or so. This is your very own candle, you already have a deep connection with it. Watch the flame dance about and notice its aura.... That is the energy that forms around the flame itself. I always find that this energy grows and becomes almost limitless... When you feel your eyes are a little tired or watering then close them. The image of the candle will still be present in your minds eye... Hold on to that vision for as long as you can.. Now ground yourself. Simply imagine tree roots growing down through your legs and into Mother Earth. This is a very easy thing to do and this anchors you down to the physical which is the starting point for all meditations.  I sometimes like to imagine how those tree roots would feel as they gently meander down through the physical body and out through the feet. Take them down as far as you can through the many layers of the earth and secure them when you feel happy. This is all done simply through imagination.  So now you are grounded and ready to begin....... It's time now to focus upon your own breath. Make your inhalations deep, meaningful and long lasting.... In thorough the nose and when you have inhaled KEEP THE BREATH inside for 4 to 5 seconds, this breath is new life, it is new vitality and brings with it life sustaining energy. Your exhalation should be meaningful and even loud if you wish. Make it last as Long as that inhalation took.....  You are breathing away all of your worries and cares.....

Repeat about 6 times .......

Now let your breathing become more gentle and natural.......let your mind dart around.... Do not try to empty it of thoughts, this is simply not possible.... What you will find is that you naturally start to slow down. You almost step aside from those random thoughts and they seem to pass by you rather that into you. You become the observer of these thoughts and they do not become you...... All you need to do is be still........ Brain waves slow down because of the very nature of what you are doing. You have honoured yourself with a little ceremony that is personal to you and you are very worthy of this quiet time.  If you find that you become too focused upon a particular though then simply open your eyes and come back to your flame..... This flame is yours and yours alone and all of the darkness in the world could not put it out. Continue to sit and watch your mind screen. The place between your eyes which seems to be almost like a blank tv screen. This is where I have seen some magical things.... Don't expect to much of yourself... Just to know that you have tried is a start.... Twice a day is a great idea but already I hear you say " but I don't have the time"    ......       YOU DO ........... We all have a spare 20 mins ....... There will come a time during this quiet time that you simply start to feel different. Some people report feeling lighter, some say they feel a heavy feeling. This is all normal..... I always feel what I believe is an angelic presence and they always seem to touch my face and hair on my left hand side of my face..... Notice any feelings that you get... We are all different.. It may just be that there are messages waiting for you, it may just be that your body is tired and so very grateful for the fact that you have switched off for a little while, it may be that you see a vision of an animals face or a person that you know, it may be that you feel the loving and warm presence of your angels or spirit guides...  If you don't try how will you know....

When you feel like you have been to a different level of awareness and time has passed  by then gently open your eyes and look back at your flame.... Say thank you to your candle and gently blow it out or of course you can leave it burning for longer ( if it is your first burn then 1 hour is necessary to achieve the correct burn pool ) 

WELL DONE ..... YOU HAVE BEEN QUIET ............

The benefits from this daily practice are huge..... I also advise you to be extra observant over the coming days as my ideas and inspiration always follows and this is given to me as creative ideas.... 

Be patient.... Don't give up...... You are worth it....... You are never alone and there is a lot of help out there for you which can be reached simply  through your own senses .......
