Find Your Path

In the world of spirituality and all things metaphysical, there are many translations, definitions and explanations for same or similar things. Sometimes it’s difficult to truly articulate the true meanings as we all perceive and translate differently according to our experiences, thus resulting in varying descriptions, names and topics to sift and sort through. Ultimately, our task is to seek our own truth and what resonates with us to discover what we truly believe or don’t align with. And as you spiritually evolve, revisit them and you’ll find that it has changed, just as you also have.  All in all, do your own research and mostly just “Google it” to start seeking more in depth about these topics.

However, focusing your thoughts only isn’t enough to manifest your dreams – aside from the hard work involved it requires positive thinking and action on your behalf as well. The law of manifestation is based on the principle that your thoughts, beliefs, feelings and actions can transform into physical reality through focus and supportive action. – Happiness.com

Mantra chanting can be a great source of calmness, relaxation, and joy. Through mindful attention to the act of chanting or internally reciting a mantra we calm the mind. The sound of the mantra displaces much of the thinking we would otherwise do — thinking that often makes us unhappy. Because we’re generating less internal stress, the body begins to relax. And because there’s an esthetic component to chanting mantras — we can enjoy the sounds we’re producing — mantra chanting can make us happy. – Wildmind Meditation

Whether one refers to him- or herself as a psychic mediumspiritual medium, intuitive medium or any other similar title, it’s all the same.  Mediums obtain messages from the spirit world in different ways.

Movement meditation is not your usual meditation where you sit still and focus on your breath. Instead, you are moving through various positions with a mindful and slow pace. You notice various parts of your body that are otherwise ignored such as you hip, elbow, or cheek. You begin to pay attention to the body and how it feels as it moves, bends, and twists. Even your breathing, heartbeat, and other inner sensations will be better noticed when you are mindful of the body. Movement meditation focuses on the movements of the body rather than the goal of the movement.  – American Institute of Health Care Professionals

The Tarot is a symbolic map of consciousness that encompasses our journey through life, both spiritually and practically.

Tarot reading is the practice of divining wisdom and guidance through a specific spread (or layout) of Tarot cards. However, contrary to popular belief, the cards do not simply tell your fortune, and one does not have to be a psychic to give Tarot readings. The cards are meant to provide insight into the innermost truths of your higher self. In other words, the cards provide an evolved awareness of what you already know deep within.  – Sage Goddess.com

Vipassana is different from mindfulness meditation, which focuses on awareness, or to transcendental meditation, which uses a mantra.  Instead, it dictates a blanket command of non-reaction. No matter the pain as you sit, or the fact that your hands and legs fall asleep and that your brain is crying for release. You are instructed to refocus attention on the objective sensations in your body, arising and falling, as you do a scan of your limbs in a specific order. By doing so, over 10 days, you train yourself to stop reacting to the vicissitudes of life. ~The Guardian.com

Yoga is a holistic and mindful practice that includes physical movements (asana), breathing (pranayama), meditation (dhyana) and relaxation (savasana). The practice cultivates mind-body awareness, promotes physical movement, and creates intimacy with one’s internal landscape (e.g., emotions, thoughts, physical sensations). Yoga can also be self-soothing, affecting the stress response system by quieting down the nervous system. Through its impact on the stress response system, yoga can help to decrease physiological arousal, for example lowering blood pressure and heart rate, a benefit for those who tend to feel wound up, on edge, and restless. – Power Yoga.com

Visualization is effective because it harnesses the power of our subconscious mind. – Angels Heaven
