AURAS
The Aura is an energy field that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body. This Life Force Energy helps to nourish and sustain all life forms including the mineral, plant and animal kingdom. The Aura can be seen intuitively and with the human eye. It is like a shimmering light of a candle in a rainbow of colors. The colors change with each passing state of the mind. Our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual states are reflected in our auras. There are seven major energy centers within the human body. These energy centers are called Chakras or wheels of energy. These spinning vortexes of energy receive, assimilate and distribute energy to hundreds of minor centers throughout the body. The energy or life force enters into the body through the Aura and moves through Chakras. The Chakras resonate and vibrate to the Seven Major Musical tones in a C Scale. They also correspond and vibrate to the seven colors in the rainbow. Balanced centers create a sense of harmony in the body. Harmonizing your environment, deep breathing, drinking plenty of water, eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, getting a bit of sunshine and drawing upon God's loving life force energy that surrounds each and every one of us can help these centers maintain balance. Aura Balancing is the process of combing, soothing and energizing the Aura. Energy is directed and distributed throughout the Aura and Chakra Centers. There is no lying on of hands in this process. It is merely energy work and it requires some knowledge and a bit of intuition. The aura is an energy field that surrounds and permeates the physical body. All that we say, think and do, is reflected in our individual aura. When a person passes over into spirit, all that is reflected in one's aura is retained in one's spirit. Many people have encountered near-death experiences and they report seeing their entire life flash before their eyes in an instant. When we transform into spirit we are able to view the far-reaching effects that we have had on the world during our entire physical incarnation. All of the joy, happiness, pain, sorrow and suffering that we have brought into the lives of others is seen and experienced simultaneously. We never truly know the extent of our effect on the world until this transformation is made. That which we perceive to be minor may, in actuality, have far-reaching and long-lasting effects or consequences. A few words of encouragement may be all that is needed to help transform someones life into something wonderful. In turn, these people may touch many other lives in a positive way. One harsh word, action or reaction, however, may send a person into the depths of despair. This despair will be reflected in all that this person thinks, says and does. It will, in turn, have an effect on all the lives that this individual touches. Unknowingly, we may be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. You may not feel significant to the world, but you may be the world to another person. All of us are linked together and we affect one another in a chain reaction. All the people in the world, together, form a kind of gigantic nuclear reactor. A nuclear reactor is a powerful source that can be used to sustain or destroy life. All of humanity can work together to establish a world of peace. On the flip side of the coin, we can all work against one another, bringing forth world-wide destruction. We are like tiny little molecules, continuously acting and reacting. Choosing to do nothing is still a form of action. This may be considered to be a dormant state. Dormancy may be a hindrance or a saving grace when all factors are taken into consideration. God has given us free will, and we can follow the divine plan that God has in mind for us or we can get off course and create complications and disruptions that may lead to destruction. One split second decision may have life-long consequences. In a blink of an eye, life can be given or taken away. All that we have worked for on the material plan can be diminished in an instant. In this high-tech society, all the knowledge we have obtained over the years can become obsolete as quickly as we can turn our heads. Through our Faith, the only thing that cannot be diminished is our soul. Through the grace of God we can be granted eternal life. To have eternal happiness is to live in the presence of God forever. To have eternal pain and suffering is to live in the absence of God forever. AURA COLOR MEANINGS RED AURA:

SUPPLIES: -
One box of Epsom salt (Bath aisle in a discount store)
- Box of liquid food coloring
- Glass bottle (This could be a drink bottle) -
Curling ribbon
- Your favorite perfume
- A few bowls and spoons (A bowl and spoon for each color)
- Funnel or paper plate
STEP BY STEP:
1. Pour equal portions of Epsom salt into bowls. Pour enough to fill the bottle(s) you've chosen.
2. Pour a few drops of food coloring into the cereal bowls. A little goes a long way, so just a couple drops will work.
3. Stir the food coloring thoroughly, making sure to break up any clumps.
4. If you're making a small jar, you can spoon in the Epsom salt easily.
5. If you're filling a large bottle, you'll probably want to use a funnel or , bend a paper plate into a funnel.
6. Alternate colors or fill a bottle with all one color. You decide.
7. Once the bottles are full, put a drop of your favorite perfume in each bottle. The salt will absorb the scent and it will make your whole bath smell like your favorite perfume.

Dime Phenomenon
I have been finding dimes in some of the strangest places. It seems everywhere I look there one will be. I started keeping a log of where and when I found them. Sounds crazy right? But I was finding so many that I couldn’t ignore it anymore.
I was finding them right in front of me, where there were none before. Sitting at my desk, all day, and looking slightly to the left, there is a dime, and why had I not see it before? Laying in the passenger seat next to me, in the back of my mini van – just laying on the floor. In the washer when there had been no laundry done all day. Finding them in my pants pocket, knowing that there had been nothing in them at all, ever. On the ground at my van door, in the mail box, on the coffee table, in the filing cabinet in a file I have for my mom. Everywhere I went, not just at home, not just in my yard and van, but everywhere, didn’t matter where I went. The more I talked about it, the more it happened. The more I told people about it, they started experiencing this also.
Now it was time to start researching this, I began with an internet search and found many reasons. This is the first story I found on the subject.
"It's a widely accepted phenomenon. Finding dimes is a message from a loved one from "the other side". I have been finding dimes for five years, since my son died in a horrible car accident. I probably have 200 of them! And they are always in the weirdest places. On the shoulder of the road, in a driveway, etc. I almost always find a dime during a race (I am a runner). I stop to pick them up, and have been almost trampled by runners behind me. I put this dime tat on my wrist, in a spot usually covered by my watch. The silhouette is my son's instead of FDR. Now whenever I have to remove my watch, I find a dime. It always makes me smile." -Rachel (no last name)
There are so many stories like this; I couldn’t believe there were so many sharing my experience. Reminds me of the story “Pennies from Heaven.” The phrase widely accepted paranormal phenomenon makes me feel much better about my situation.
I was wondering if anyone out there also had this “phenomenon” happening to them? I would love to hear your stories.
I know that my dimes are from my mother who passed away almost three years ago. I do tend to find them when I am thinking about her, or if I am really sad about something. Now I think she just finds it funny to place them in the strangest places for me to find, just to watch my wonderment at how and why she put them there. And to my mother, I love you keep sending the dimes, I love them!

GARDIAN ANGELS
Definition of an Angel as per the Encyclopedia:
Benevolent spiritual beings who mediate between heaven and earth. They often serve as messengers of God or as guardians of an individual or nation.
What Are Guardian Angels?
Guardian Angels are spiritual beings that are "assigned" to assist you here on Earth in various ways. Whether there is one angel per person, one angel for several person or several angels for one person is open to question. But whether you believe in them or not, or whether you want one or not, believers of angels insist that you do have a guardian angel.
What is their assignment? "Angels intercept at many junctures in our lives and help wherever they can to make our lives run smoothly. Sometimes this is by inspiring a thought to spur us into action, at others it is to lend us super-human strength, such as in the case of a woman being able to lift a car long enough to free her trapped child. Or we hear of a runaway truck, with an unconscious driver at the wheel, inexplicably swerving sharply at the last moment to avoid a bus stop queue of people. In fact, there are many instances, which are often put down to luck, coincidence or even a miracle, but which have the touch of a hand of light behind it."
How Do We Know Angels Are There?
Even those who believe in the existence of angels concede that they rarely make a physical appearance. However, there are other ways guardian angels can make their presence known, they say.
Some people say that they hear angelic sounds totally beyond human description, others have a feeling of sudden warmth or comfort, or, in times of sadness or grief, a gentle cloak of feathered wings wrapping softly around them. Sometimes angel energy may feel entirely different - like a sudden rush of air created by the passing by of an 'angel on a mission' at the speed of light. This is often noticed at times of impending disaster. At other times, simply an inexplicable presence is felt.
Do We Know Who Our Guardian Angels Are?
Some people do know who their Guardian Angels are, but not all of us. I think also that our Guardian Angels change over time. As their job or role is completed I feel they move on. I also believe that Guardian Angels are different and have different roles then our Sprit Guides.
I know that when I was young and through out high school my Guardian Angel was my great grandmother, Maw’ maw Helen. There were just things that happened that I was protected from that have no other explanation. When in high school my father and step mother were fighting, and she (the step mother), refused to make sure I was up for school. Every morning my Maw’ maw Helen would start at my bedroom door calling my name, Sarah honey, Sarah honey, until I would sit up. As soon as I did, she would dissipate into thin air. This went on for years.
Anther times my step brother and I got into a fight, he was 10 years older then I, my great grandmother’s picture hung on the way by his bedroom door. After that fight her picture flung off the wall and went sideways to hit him, and every time they would hang her picture on that nail by his bedroom door, it would fall. My dad had to find another place to hang it. Even though it has been 19 years since my step brother passed away, that picture will not hang on that wall. I haven’t see or felt my great grandmother since I was in high school.
There are so many other examples in my life that I can refer too, there is not time nor space now. I am grateful for the Guardian Angels in my life, where would I be with out them?

MEDITATION
Meditation: deep thought, to reflect deeply, to spend time in the spiritual exercise of thinking about some religious theme, to contemplate, to plan.
Amidst the hustle and bustle in this high-tech, fast-paced world we live in, there is an ever-increasing need for meditation; a quiet time to calm the nerves, while gaining a sense of peace, focus and direction. Finding time in a quiet place to meditate can often be a bit of a challenge. For many people in this day and age, the demands of one’s daily work load keep increasing to the point of overload. Due to rapid technology, it seems virtually impossible for one to stay attentive to the present, as moment by moment drastic changes may occur. Added to this stress are the demands of children, family, personal relationships, friends, organizations, community service, etc. The list goes on and on. Finding time and space to meditate may seem difficult, but it is not impossible.
Remember the saying, "where there’s a will, there’s a way." It is important not to let the demands of the world we live in override the demands of the Soul. If the Soul’s demands are overridden, one’s sense of identity begins to diminish. The Soul struggles in torment and it becomes increasingly difficult to accomplish anything. Some of the signs of this override are burn-out, brain fade, depression and exhaustion.
The word meditation conjures up a number of images. First, there’s the Yogi, sitting in a lotus position, deep in trance. Then there are those individuals that perform such feats as walking on coals of fire, or laying on a bed of nails while experiencing no pain or physical harm in the process.
One does not need a Master to meditate. The average person does not spend hours on end in forms of meditation to accomplish such acts. There are many approaches and levels of meditation. The state of one’s mind as you approach meditation is of the utmost importance. If one is harboring feelings of malice, anger, hate, fear, resentment, revenge, lust or anything else negative, these feelings, if not released constructively, manifests into thought form. If you day dream, or fantasize about hitting someone in the face, the next time you are confronted by this individual you might just pop them without any provocation on their part. The mind has begun to plan; thus we have premeditated action.
Cultivate the practice mentally of surrounding people that aggravate you with white light (or the Christ Light). This light can appear in a variety of ways, such light encompassing someone in a form of an egg, a cylinder of light, a beam of light, or a room full of light. Next mentally send this person the love of God, or the Universe and ask God, or the Universe for a peaceful resolution.
There is an instant comfort when walking into a holy temple to meditate. This is because it is a place where people gather regularly to pray and meditate, invoking the presence of God. You can also create your own temple for meditation in a place that contains your personal vibration, your own little haven where you can block out the world and just be yourself. Each of us carries our temple everywhere we go, for the body is the temple of God, housing within it the soul.
To awaken the spirit of God that is inherent in each soul from the moment of creation one must go deep within the recesses of the mind, the heart, the inner sanctuary and ignite the Divine Spark. This is the spark that shines through the eyes of an infant or a young child. Reach inward to regain a sense of innocence and purity. The love of God and the love of a child are both unconditional.
If you feel as though you have no time or space in which to meditate, invent the time and space. First thing in the morning when your feet hit the floor, say in your mind, "I walk in the light of Jesus Christ. He is my salvation. He protects me all throughout the day and night." Reflect on the day ahead and ask for God's guidance. Say prayers while driving yourself to and from work. Find a quite corner at lunch where you can read and meditate. Reflect on the day as you get ready to retire at night and use a few moments before you drift off to sleep for meditation. You will be amazed at how much time you can get in for yourself each day.
It is important to have a focus when entering into a meditative state. Do not completely blank your mind, or allow just anything to enter. Focusing your thoughts upon a single image or idea prevents unwanted thoughts which touch upon anything and everything access to your mind. You are opening yourself up to distracting forces if you don't protect yourself, or have a positive focus. While meditating, direct your mind into positive channels. Ask that Jesus/the Universe surround you with His white light of protection. Try to sense a loving, soothing and healing light surrounding you. In your mind's eye, also try to see a glimmering white light surrounding you, extending thru you, all the way down your legs, out of the bottoms of your feet, anchoring you like roots on a tree. You may not be able to visualize this at first, but in time you may begin to see it. Make sure that your focus is positive. Ask for positive solutions to daily situations.
Focus on things that will bring positive changes into your life without bringing negative effects to anyone else. Things may come to you in ways you would never expect them to. One person's fortune may be someone else's misfortune, and it might be the last thing in the world you would want. Remember the saying, "Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it!" What we pray for or wish for may be much more than what we bargain for. Remember, if your intentions are pure of heart and of the light, you will be protected. Faith is your armor.
When you have completed your meditation, always remember to ground your energy. It is not productive to be a continuous, open circuit, receptive to anything and everything around you. To ground yourself, cover yourself with the sign of the cross, and imagine a protective shield covering your mind's eye. If you have found inspiration in your meditations, recall them, use them, and test them to see if they are useful to you. Give thanks for the opportunities to grow through these experiences, and look forward to your next meditation with hopeful expectation.
