We have many past lives and one of the purposes, in our present lifetime, is to clear the Karma associated with these past lives. Generally, ‘symptoms’ or ‘events’ in our life will signify a specific past life that is presenting - to be cleared.
The year 2012 is a universal event and it has been credited with being the time of a great shift in consciousness for humanity. But are we really able to predict what will happen on 21st December 2012? The Solstice on December 21, 2012 - precisely at 11:11 AM GMT - is purportedly the completion of the 5,125 year Great Cycle of the Ancient Mayan Long Count Calendar. Furthermore, it is thought to coincide with the end of a 26,000 year cycle and, perhaps, that of a greater (4 x 26000) 104,000 year cycle.
There have been many illustrations of chakras drawn by clairvoyants with ‘inner sight’, and by artists relying on descriptions from clairvoyants. Following article will outline chakra illustrations including descriptions and the healing property of each colour. On the physical plane of existence, where colours are dulled because of the lower vibration experienced on this Plane, it would be very difficult to reproduce the chakra colours accurately as they are so vivid and bright in comparison.
The general appearance of the chakra can be visualised as a a twining plant with trumpetshaped flowers. The stalk of the flower reaches into the spine with the flower extending out from the spine to the outer body and etheric double. The divine energy from the Solar Logos pours into each centre. On the surface of the etheric double it sets up at right angels to itself and the energy pours forth. Then the secondary energy flows in a circular motion through the chakra. In a sense, it resembles the bar magnet and induction coil.
When you first start practising with the interpretation of the Aura it can be discouraging if you do not see colours immediately. That is when pendulums are very useful; no only do they help you, when you first start, they later confirm what you are seeing! The Aura is the energy field that surrounds all matter – whether that is animate or inanimate. The aura also has lines of energy, which appear as radiant streams of energy extending one or two feet out into the auric field.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word which literally means, “the turning of the wheel of the Law”. (Refer The Chakras CW Leadbetter). The law is to do with the Laws of Nature as referred to within the Divine Plan (Theosophical Studies - HP Blavatsky). However, for this short article, we will conce ourselves mainly with the meaning of the chakras in relation to the Etheric Double of man. These chakras are wheel-like vortices which exist in the surface of the etheric double.
A pendulum works on the principle that our nervous system responds to subtle energies that we may not even be aware of. We are always interacting with outside energies and we are not always consciously aware of this. The pendulum helps you link with those parts of you, which are aware of this electromagnetic interaction. it is estimated that the subconscious mind controls 90 percent of body and brain function.
The physical body is constantly undergoing change. The cells of the skin are constantly dying only to be renewed. It is not just the shape of the body or our skin that undergoes change, it is the organs, hair and nails - our physical appearance is constantly changing - naturally or unnaturally - if you observe the many different types of hair colour that are around. However, in order for these natural changes to keep on happening and indeed for the physical body to stay alive it needs supplies from 3 specific sources of nourishment: 1. Food to digest 2. Air to Breath 3.
Now, one of the most potent forms of prana that the etheric body receives is the energy from the sun’s rays, termed in Theospophy (Alice Bailey’s - Treatise of Cosmic Fire) as "solar pranic emanations." To understand the effect the sun’s rays have on us requires a deeper understanding of the rays and their emanations. There are three main channels of contact, which have differing effects on the bodies that they contact. Generally, the affects are good and provide nourishment for our cells and physical bodies.
There are numerous definitions of master. However, the word is said to come from ‘magister’, which is a teacher and expounder as well as an applier of the law (magistrate). Master also signifies achievement – mastery. >From the Occult Glossary: A Master is one who has his higher principles awakened and lives in them; and ordinary men do not. Ascended Master: The term 'Ascended Masters' refers to those souls who after many inca ations and life experiences, have mastered the lessons of the physical realm and then ascend - return to higher consciousness of thought and light.
Materialism, at the beginning of the century, was really taking hold and the physical world has advanced more technologically, in the last 100 years, than could ever be imagined when the Wright Brothers made their first transAtlantic flight. It became very much a case of - if there was no empirical evidence and it was not scientifically provable - it did not exist.
Back in the 5th century, Dionysius wrote a book called ‘The Celestial Hierarchy’. Here a 9-fold hierarchy of supe atural beings was postulated and, although other writers have modified it or added detail since, this has been the largely accepted version. That said, it appears to have been written for philosophical reasons – the groupings are not reflected in the Bible (although most are mentioned) nor did they correspond to the Angel experiences of the faithful. The order from high to low – in terms of perfection, spiritual evolvement etc.
What is the meaning of Reinca ation? - It is the repeated entering into the physical.
There is a lot written about the ego and how we have to try to ‘destroy’, ‘conquer’ or even ‘ignore it’. However the ego is an intricate part of us, it gives us self-esteem, self-importance, self-worth, self-respect, self-image, self-confidence - quite a few things really! So instead of trying to destroy it, why not try to work with it? The ego has been with us a long time and when we react to something through anger or fear, it is usually just because the ego/personality is reacting in fear of its own annihilation.
Pranic Healing is one of the many energy healing modalities that are available throughout the modern world. It is a non-touch modality, unlike the energy healing of Reiki, which tends to have a more ‘hands-on‘ technique. Instead, Pranic Healing works with the inner aura and the outer aura as well as the health rays contained within the health aura. (Refer Miracles Through Pranic Healing Book - Master Choa Kok Sui) Master Choa Kok Sui (MCKS) (1952-2007), a Filipino-Chinese spiritual teacher, was the Founder of Pranic Healing.
The Etheric body is composed of ‘Etheric matter’ and it is like a network which is permeated with Golden light from the higher planes of existence. In the etheric body there are all planes of existence from human, to emotional (astral) abstract thinking (Causal) even up to the Adi plane, which is the highest plane of existence within our solar system. It is also the web that protects a human from inadvertently accessing the inner worlds, which could have a detrimental affect on the person that is not prepared. In the lowest level, it is the ring-pass-not for average humanity.
The energy/etheric body and the subtler planes and sub planes of our planet really benefit from the sun’s rays which helps us to meditate better, develop our psychic skills, do deeper energy and pranic healing and help us live a stress-free and more contented life. The etheric body is the ‘web’ that keeps the physical-being separate from the inner worlds, if it was not for the etheric body, a person would be able to see everything in the astral/inner worlds. This would not be an ideal scenario, for most of humanity, who have an inherent fear of ghosts or anything not physical.
So, what exactly is the energy body and how does it work? There has been a lot written about this phenomena and although it has yet to be fully corroborated by science and the medical world, it is believed in esoteric teachings that it is an integral part of a human’s being-ness and maintaining a healthy energy body enables a person to be free from physical and emotional ailments. The energy body is basically energy which surrounds the physical body. It is moulded around the physical body and therefore is a similar shape to the person it is part of.
We cannot see our energy bodies but it is there and we have to look after it with energy healing, fresh air, good food, meditation and other spiritual practises. If we ignore our energy bodies - we ignore our own well-being. So the question is - what does ‘energy’ mean to us on a spiritual level? How did this talk of energy come about and where are we, as physical humans, in this big picture?
The chakras are energy 'wheels' that are part of the human being's energetic body. They are not visible to the average man - but, as a person begins to develop his inner senses, an amazing and fascinating world opens before him. This new world which is now visible is not just the world of the astral or emotional plane, with its many denizens of elementals, ET's and thoughtforms, but the world of the chakras.
We often hear about Angels and Archangels and the like. The story is always a pleasant one with their nature that of goodness and kindness. The dictionary defines an angel as “A Spiritual, Celestial Being, superior to Man in power and intelligence”. But what happens when an Angel turns to the other side? The concept of falle Angels – Lucifer etc. – is a controversial one. However, it is generally accepted that some force or entity outside of ourselves is working to push us towards evil or away from God. Some of the Angels, because of pride, did not return God’s Love.
The appearance and size of the chakras, to the clairvoyant, will vary as the size and brightness will depend on how spiritually developed the person, who is being viewed, is on their evolutionary path. The chakras can be divided into 3-groups simply called - Lower, middle, higher.
The body has many major and minor chakras, but in this article I will focus on the main chakras. Each chakra also has a specific number of spokes or petals and these indicate the primary and secondary force undulations as the energy enters the depression in the etheric body where the chakra is located. The Basic or Root Chakrar The 1st centre is the Root or Basic Chakra, which has a primary force that radiates out with 4 spokes. As a result of this apparent quadrant, the basic chakra is often symbolically represented by a cross.
The chakras have a specific location related to the physical body and detailed below is a table giving this information, plus the Sanskrit name of each chakra. Only the most significant chakras are featured. The body has many major and minor chakras, but in this article I will focus on the main chakras.

Man has always believed that there were beings or entities, not like themselves, who were in and around his space – but not on the same plane or vibration of existence. There were several different forms of these ‘spirits’.

The Nature Spirits are all around us and acknowledging them can help if you are meditating in nature, doing energy healing or even growing plants in your garden. The Nature Spirits are extensions of the Angelic realm and the ancient writings suggest that, although they live on a higher plane than the physical plane of existence, these spirits (or Elementals) are at a low level of spiritual evolution. They have no will of their own and come under direction from a higher level. They act as the architects/builders of nature as we know it.
