Dream Town

I like to smudge the boundaries of my home for protection, walking through each room including the doors and windows.

The things you will need:

Start at the front door and light your smudge.  Let it light for a minute then blow it out.  It should smoulder.  If not then start again.  Also during the smudging if the smoke stops then light it again.

Take the smudge around the house making a circular movement with the dish letting the smoke cleanse any negative energies.  Say the prayer while doing this.

When you finish let the smudge burn itself out.  I like to finish where I began, at the front door and then walking outside that door, facing away from the house throw the ash to the wind.

You can also use this technique for any object such as tarot cards.  Remember never leave it in case of cinders.  You don’t want to burn anything.

This is an example of a simple prayer:
I call on y angels to protect this house, my santuary.  Let no harm come to it or those who live here and let goodness and love dwell always.

You can use this prayer or have one that is appropriate for you or your beliefs.  Why not try smudging your home and feel the difference it makes.

A smudge stick is a bundle of herbs tied together which when lit produces smoke which gives off a lovely aroma and is used to purify the house or possessions or even yourself.

I have practiced smudging in the two homes I have lived in over the years but only a few times have I felt that I needed to do it.  Smudging traps negativity in the smoke and carries it out to escape through the doors or windows.  I have always used it as a spiritual house cleaning especially when I have felt feelings of anger, resentment or other negative feelings in the house.

The first time I smudged my house was in the one before this house I am living in now.  This came about when I felt a previous partner was coming back to the house in his dreams.  This made me feel very edgy but after the cleansing that feeling lifted but at the same time his attitude changed to that of being resentful and angry himself and I put that down to the fact that his astral travel had stopped.

I have bought commercial smudges and these have worked well but you can make your own.  The most common herb found in them is sage and this herb is good for healing and uplifting of the spirit.  Sweetgrass is similar but maybe more gentle.  Releasing anxiety and sorrow is what sweetgrass is used for.

I love lavender and I like to add this too and this herb is great for relaxation of the mind.  Rose is another ingredient that makes the house smell beautiful and is used for love.  You can add the lavender or rose to smudge sticks you buy as well if you wish to personalize your blend.

In my next post I will share with you my own house protection method when smudging.

Many people believe in fairies, elves and other earth spirits.  The Irish believe in Leprechauns and the English in fairies.  Like angels you see them as how you imagine them to be ie I would perceive fairies to be small with beautiful glistening wings.

Earth spirits however, are more about how you feel and not in how you see them.  I can though sometimes hear the natural spirits in the wind whistling through the trees or how a bird will appear and glide above me and even in the closeness with nature I feel being in the mountains or the rainforest.

There are many varieties of  elves and fairies, they say, including Gnomes, Goblins, Gremlins, Hobbits, Brownies, Nymphs, Trolls and Leprechauns to name a few.  My favorites are the Brownies as they are home bodies like me, Dryads who live in trees and Nymphs who live in flowers.  I love to think that they are around me, and that appeals to me when walking in the garden.

You may see by this article that I am not a true believer in fairies but I would not suggest that they don’t exist but I accept that people do believe in them.  Fairies are said to bring good luck and are something good to believe in, in this sometimes imperfect world we live in.

I do hear something in the wind and in the mountains but to me that is my angels and not the fairies who may live in my garden.

Have we lived past lives?  There really is no way to prove or disprove this but many people have memories of their past lives and the concept that we have lived before is intriguing to many of us.  If you were to ask me whether I had memories of a past life then I would have to tell you, yes.

I suppose I should elaborate on my own experience of a past life and this was only one life that I remember.  I was a young man, late teens to early twenties in age, a bit of a chauvinist and selfish, and feel that I died in a car that plunged off a bridge in a storm.  I don’t know why I know this, I just seemed to have always known.

Many people have dreams of living in another life from the past and often use past life regression recordings which can help with making these remembrances seem clearer. How does this work?  With the help of binaural beat frequency recordings the brain gets into the alpha and theta frequency required for achieving regression to view your past life.  It can often be like reading a book.   Theta frequency is the one that helps in dreaming and alpha is your normal aware self.

Don’t think it will happen easy though as with most things it takes practice and time but as you get more experienced it becomes easier.  The binaural beat recordings though make it a bit easier to pick up these various frequencies. They are easy to use, just download them to your iPod but make sure you have stereo headphones or earpieces.

Exploring your past lives can be exciting and may help you understand yourself and your current life.  You can learn from past failures and wrongs and make this life a better one.  I will talk further about learning from our past lives in another post to come soon.

Now, do you feel you know a past life too?  Please share your experiences with us.

Many people are divided about whether Astrology can predict the future but is that the way Astrology really works?  I myself, have always seen it more as a road map of my life and not as a predictor of what is to come.

In my opinion Astrology can give you an indication of what is to come but it is not used to predict a precise happening.  Astrology can warn you of an event that may happen to you next week in a general way but may not be more specific than that.

Dreams of being naked in front of others is really an anxiety dream triggered from our unconscious mind.  An interpretation of naked dreams will depend on how you feel during them, such as shame, excitement, embarrassment or even horror.

This type of dream usually interprets as the dreamer feeling vulnerable in their waking life.  Naked dreams are common though so don’t think that it is something out of the ordinary. You must ask yourself are you happy in the role you have chosen in your life.  If not then this dream may be one you are having to encourage you to make a change.

If you have psychic ability then you need to acknowledge it.  This may sound like a something that doesn’t need to be stated but many people try to ignore their psychic side.   Some may have natural ability while others have to develop their skills.   You may even be someone who has flashes of psychic energy only now and again.

The first step is to trust your intuition. Trusting your judgment is very important and will help you make accurate decisions.  Haven’t you felt sometimes that your first impressions of something or someone proved to be the correct one?  Then listen with your heart and not your head.

There can be more than one meaning for birth dreams. This can mean the beginning of something new in your life and not necessarily that you or your partner will have a baby.  Are you relieved?  I know I would be, but then I am too old for babies but 25 years ago it would have been a different matter.

Birth dreams can also mean that a positive change is going to happen very soon in your life or someone close to you.

You need to know how did you feel during the dream.  This does change the overall meaning as well.  Dreams come to us in symbols and they don’t always mean  what is at first obvious to us.  Ask yourself what could this birth dream really mean.

It’s only in the last 25 years we have really learned anything about sleep and that applies to a part called REM sleep as well.  About an hour and a half after you fall asleep your brainwaves start to change and you go into what is called REM sleep.

When you are in REM sleep your eyelids flicker and this is where the name comes from, that is,  Rapid Eye Movement.  Other things happen too like your breathing increases, your heart rate and blood pressure also increases and a state similar to when you are faced with a danger.
