Auras

Image
 Hey Pumpkins! We are back again, this time to talk about Auras. What are they? How do they work? How do we see them? How can we change them?  What are Auras? Everything has an energy, an electrical charge of sorts. Our aura is simply the 7 layers of energy radiating from our being. Each layer is said to represent a zone of your health, this may be physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc. The various layers can team up and imprint on your moods. I have been asked before if "vibes" and "auras" are the same thing. The answer is yes, and no. "Vibes", vibrations, are just that, a vibration, a frequency. This is also what your aura is made of, electrical frequency. Yes, you can sense your energies changing, some people can sense other individuals' energies. This is simply done but tapping into your own energies and understanding what it is, how it works, and what it looks like. Pretty simple.  What do they mean? Your aura shows as (up to 7) layers of co...

The Ins and Outs of Lucid Dreaming

Image
 Hey, Pumpkins! Hope everyone is doing well and not too tired, but if you are tired, this may be for you. Lucid dreaming. What is lucid dreaming? Sometimes when we are sleeping, we are aware of our dreams. Some may feel real and some we feel as though we are simply watching. Our brain knows that the dream is not really happening but it feels real and clear.  Investigating sleep There are various different stages of sleep. Lucid dreaming generally occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, this is the deepest stage of sleep. There are 4 sleep stages, 1 being the lightest and 4 being the deepest. Stage 1 tends to last about 10 minutes, this is an NREM sleep, nonrapid eye movement. Stage 2 is approximately 15-25 minutes, this is also an NREM sleep. Stage 3, also NREM, lasts about 30-40 minutes. Stage 4, the deepest stage of sleep, can be 10-60 minutes, this is when REM occurs. Lucid dreaming  Many think that lucid dreaming is something only certain people experience. In f...

Calcination  2. Dissolution 3. Separation 4. Conjunction 5. Fermentation  6. Distillation  7. Coagulation 4. Conjunction  The first 3 stages can be combined in order to create the stage of conjunction. This is where we bring together all of the elements. Here we begin to pull together our true, and natural self. It is where our journey materializes.  Although our journey through Spiritual Alchemy never truly ends, during stage 4 we begin to pull together and body and spirit. We gain balance and harmony within ourselves and therefore our surroundings.  5. Fermentation Also called Putrefaction, this stage of fermentation is when our old self is buried, or deceased, and our new self is born. This is the process of rebirth. Here we begin our new journey, the main character...

 Hey Pumpkins, we are back with more knowledge. Many of you may have heard of the book 'The Alchemist', if you have not then I highly recommend it.

Conjunction 5. Fermentation  6. Distillation  7. Coagulation Alchemy is a medieval chemical science. An old age natural philosophy. Alchemists studied ways to transform one substance into another. Alongside this, they looked for ways that this transformation could correspond to astrology and magick. Spiritual Alchemy is the unfleshly version. This is the transformation of your inner self.   Today we will cover the first 3 stages of Spiritual Alchemy: Calcination; Dissolution; and Separation.  1. Calcination - Burning to Ashes  Calcination, the first stage of Spiritual Alchemy, is also called the Black Stage...

The 7 Hermetic Principles (Part 2)

Image
Hey, Pumpkins! The 7 Hermetic Principles. We have covered what they are and the first 3 Principles in the previous post. If you have not yet seen this, I highly suggest you run off and read that one first. For now.....Let's jump in! The Principle of Mentalism The Principle of Correspondence  The Principle of Vibration The Principle of Polarity The Principle of Rhythm The Principle of Cause and Effect The Principle of Gender 4. The Principle of Polarity "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." - The Kybalion Opposites are the same. Breaks your brain right?  A good example would be ice and steam. Although different, they are essentially both water. The same concept can be shown in physical matter and spiritual energy. They are both vibrations.  The Principle of Polari...

These principles were passed down through generations by word of mouth, later being printed into book form. (Specifically in the Kybalion.)

Ikigai

Image
Hey Pumpkins, do you know what your life purpose is? If you don't, that's absolutely fine. Most of us don't, I certainly don't. There is a Japanese concept called your Ikigai. This is your purpose.  What is Ikigai? The first time I heard about this concept was from the TV show "Mr. Iglesias". Strange, I know. I was drawn to it and needed to know more. The Japanese concept of Ikigai is a way used to find your life purpose or your "reason of being". In Japanese "iki" means life and "gai" is your value or worth. I know as well as any that life often feels pointless as if you have no reason, no purpose. I, along with all of our ancestors and history, am here to tell you otherwise. You do have a purpose and your life has a meaning. You just need to let it find you. This may take years, even all your life, but it will  find you.  How to find your Ikigai Although it is often said that your Ikigai/ purpose will find you, you can also find...
