There seems to be a lack of understanding for a lot of people when it comes to pendulums. Their value is greatly misunderstood. Don't let their appearance fool you, they are so much more than a healing crystal (or other object) attached to a chain... The use of pendulums is shared my many cultures and belief systems throughout the centuries. The main use that they are associated with is divination, but they are also used in various religious practices, in healing, in dowsing for invisible energies and auras throughout the body, and in finding lost objects. Some claim that pendulums only work because our subconscious energy is manifested through them. Others believe that it is through communication with the universe or a person's personal spirit guides. No matter what you believe, pendulums have been proven to be very reliable for a multitude of uses, both metaphysical and mundane.

There is still so much mystery around Reiki and the amazing benefits that come with it. The core fact to keep in mind is that when our life energy is flowing freely and our body is in a relaxed state, our health and wellness can improve. The daily stresses that we all face make sustaining a relaxed state very challenging. By getting regular Reiki sessions, we can ensure that we are enabling our body to maintain that state that benefits us the most. When our bodies are in a relaxed state, all of our systems can function at an optimal level and these are tangible and undeniable results. Take this article  for instance: "The multileveled, rapid response to Reiki suggests a complex process that engages many body systems, simultaneously or in quick succession, shifting the body from domination by the "fight or flight" (stress) response to the relaxation response, and supporting the body's own healing mechanisms." So, when we are doing all of the t...

As the weather warms up, we have a natural tendency to want to venture out into the fresh air. Any time that someone is feeling stagnant or generally unwell, its always advised that they go out and get some fresh air. Why is that? Fresh air is beneficial to everyone and is a crucial part of our total body wellness. It boosts our immune systems, cleans our lungs, elevates our mood, and increases our overall wellness. Fresh air is literally food for our chakras. We need it for our whole body to be in balance. When we have been stuck inside with stagnant air, we start feeling the negative effects rather quickly. It can manifest as lowered immune system function, depression, feelings of gloominess, negativity, things getting easily blown out of proportion, as well as a multitude of other issues. Fortunantly for us, getting fresh air can be quite simple most of the time. Open the windows and let fresh air permeate through your living spaces. Take a walk outside. The simplest of ...
