The tendency to let yourself be guided by intuition instead of acting under pressure of fear, forced ideas and pre-conditioned behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2). A total loss of interest in:- judging others, convicting yourself and preoccupation with things that create conflict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3). A complete loss of the capacity to worry :– This is one of the most serious symptoms!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4). A continual pleasure in appreciating humans and things the way they are, which weakens one’s tendency to want to ‘change’ others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5). The desire to change oneself so that innate thoughts, feelings, emotions and bodily matters are managed in ways that facilitate only Health, Creativity and Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6). Repetitive attacks of smiling – a smile that says “Thank You” and stimulates being at-one with all those around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7). A growing openness towards childlikeness, simplicity, laughter and happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8). More frequent moments of communication with one’s Soul in non-duality, that in turn creates the pleasant feeling of fulfilment and joy within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9). Finding pleasure in acting as a Healer who spreads Joy and Light, instead of criticism and indifference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10). The ability to effortlessly live alone, as a couple, with family, or in a community on the basis of equality, without any need to play the role of executioner (or wanting to be sacrificed!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11). A feeling of responsibility and joy to share with the world one’s dreams of an abundant, harmonic and peaceful future for all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12). Total acceptance of one’s own presence on Earth and the will to choose each moment only for what is gracious, good, truthful and alive!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to continue living in fear, dependency, conflict, dis-ease and conformism?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If not, then at all cost avoid people who display these symptoms; this disease is very contagious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medical treatment can temporarily repress the symptoms, although the progress of the disease has very often been inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There just isn’t an ‘anti-happiness’ Vaccine’!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because this Happiness Pandemic causes a loss of fear of death, the central pillar upon which the beliefs of materialistic modern-day society rest, there is now a risk of societal turmoil with a complete loss of interest in warfare and the necessity to always be ‘right’!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gatherings of happy people who sing, dance and celebrate life, the emergence of people who celebrate their physical and spiritual healing, crises of extreme joy and even Séances of collective emotional vent, are all now at hand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please infect others with ‘HP101′ where ever you go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Source: www.lightparty.com/Health/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;HappinessPandemic.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-2170656119028282813?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/2170656119028282813/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=2170656119028282813' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/2170656119028282813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/2170656119028282813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/12/happiness.html' title='Happiness !!!'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SzCsftJU9II/AAAAAAAAC3k/pHiLbzjgFiw/s72-c/j0438205.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-1945155098048483060</id><published>2009-12-16T10:10:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-12-16T14:11:22.551Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='angel therapy oracle cards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dancing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='angel therapy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='angels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='singing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='express yourself'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='angel messages'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oracle cards'/><title type='text'>Singing and Dancing</title><content type='html'>Today, my blog post is in the form of an Angel Reading Message.  I usually put these readings on my &lt;a href="http://charmsoflight-angelmessages.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Angel Messages&lt;/a&gt; blog but today I was guided to share it here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time of year it is quite usual for me to be extra busy with my work and lately, because of my workload, I have been neglecting the usual &lt;a href="http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/05/nia.html" target="_blank"&gt;Nia&lt;/a&gt; dance classes that are always so important for my well-being.  So, it was very fitting to have drawn this card from &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;my &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/charmsoflight-recommendations-21/detail/1401918336" target="_blank"&gt;Angel Therapy Oracle cards&lt;/a&gt; deck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;~♥~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Singing and Dancing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/Syi1zFk5FKI/AAAAAAAAC28/cR_s3UUC128/s1600-h/Singing+and+Dancing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/Syi1zFk5FKI/AAAAAAAAC28/cR_s3UUC128/s200/Singing+and+Dancing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415778441187890338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Express yourself and awaken your psychic senses through the magical power of music and movement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The angels send you this card because they see the need for creative expression and balance of work and play.  Singing and dancing are powerful ways to open your creative channels and feel the freedom of fully expressing yourself.  You'll realise hidden talents and boost your self-confidence with these activities.  Because musical expression is your soul's means of connecting with the physical realm, you'll also gain a greater sense of the Divinity within yourself.  Many women discover their inner goddess through artistic forms of dancing, such as belly or hula dance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Action Steps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a room where you won't be interrupted, turn down the lights and turn on your favourite music.  Sway to the music, allowing yourself to move in any way that you'd like.  Let your body lead the dance, without planning or thinking about your movements.  Sing along with the song while you enjoy dancing in free-form expression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The image used for "Singing and Dancing" is taken from the Angel Therapy Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue.

People often have difficulty accepting that they have been blessed with psychic abilities because without a frame of reference it is almost impossible to identify an extrasensory experience and to distinguish psychic sights, sounds, and sensations from the projects of the unconscious mind. To some extent, every human being on the planet is clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient, although most people discover that they are naturally adept at one more than the others. When you trust in and take steps to hone your innate clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience, you will enter a new realm of being in which the universe, your higher self, and your spirit guides lovingly conduct you toward a more aware existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clairvoyance, or clear seeing, is the ability to see with the mind’s eye. An individual who has honed their clairvoyant abilities may be able to see in their mind’s eye events in a remote location; to witness incidents that have yet to occur; or to perceive shapes, colors, and other images that are physically invisible. Clairaudience, which means clear listening, is the ability to hear sounds not physically audible. A person with the gift of clairaudience perceives psychic information as auditory resonance and may hear angelic voices, music, or other sounds. A clairsentient, or clear feeling, individual is able to sense physical, emotional, and spiritual energy in the form of seemingly unearthly scents, touches, and movements. Each of these psychic abilities can manifest themselves within us voluntarily or involuntarily. It is natural for us to have these abilities; we need only practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Developing your psychic talents is a matter of releasing your fear of seeing, hearing, or feeling inexplicable or disquieting stimulus. Before you attempt to consciously tap into your gifts, ground yourself to anchor your mind in the present to disconnect from any involuntary psychic experiences you may be having. Concentrate on your intuitive responses to the world around you and notice any sights, sounds, or feelings that enter your mind. If you trust your perceptions, you’ll discover that each psychic impression you receive will be in some way relevant to your experience—even when that relevance may not be immediately recognizable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana,helvetica,arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;DailyOM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-5901512817468360900?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/5901512817468360900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=5901512817468360900' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/5901512817468360900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/5901512817468360900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/12/using-your-psychic-gifts.html' title='Using Your Psychic Gifts'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/Sx6FUSDP9lI/AAAAAAAAC1w/CJe1G03-5m4/s72-c/Perceiving+the+Infinite.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-8306732485330447690</id><published>2009-12-08T16:19:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-12-08T17:03:18.243Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='admiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mind body spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirit guidance'/><title type='text'>Admiration!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/Sx58ujAd3FI/AAAAAAAAC1g/EWULt4zKU8o/s1600-h/Admiration....jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 165px; height: 218px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/Sx58ujAd3FI/AAAAAAAAC1g/EWULt4zKU8o/s400/Admiration....jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412900941258939474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;With prayer as my practice and Spirit as my guide, I respond to life in mindful ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I admire those who have acted courageously and honorably under difficult circumstances, and I am thankful for all those whose lives have made a difference in the world and in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My admiration for others reminds me to act wisely and courageously when faced with a challenge.

Lately, I have felt another strong build up of energy. I see waves of energy all around and others have told me about the many beautiful colours that they see. I don't see colours and haven't seen actual formed shapes as yet, but again my own guides are telling me, "Patience", so maybe that is coming. What I do have is a really deep direct sensing of someone or something which needs passing on to others. The messages I receive from my guides and Angels are so much stronger now, but what I've noticed more recently is the stronger connection I can find with other people's guides and Angels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some weeks ago, I was in the middle of my tai chi class when suddenly, an energy form of a wood nymph stepped out from the wall and started jumping up and down in front of me. This little nymph wouldn’t stop until I told my teacher that he was there for her, then he stood over at my teacher's side and gave me a huge grin. Obviously my teacher hadn't been listening to her guides lately so this lovely little fellow used me to get her attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are more and more of these types of instances happening to me and I do love the connection, however often there can be many messages from many guides trying to be relayed at once and it can get rather foggy. I am learning to ask for the messages one at a time and now it seems I am not only practicing patience for my own growth, but teaching patience as well! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel I am on the path I'm meant to be and am so grateful to have found it. I love what I do and hope I can continue to grow and help others find their way on their own paths. It has been an enjoyable ride so far and I'm sure it's only going to get bigger and better!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love and many blessings,&lt;br /&gt;Caryl ~♥~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-5895702764503204762?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/5895702764503204762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=5895702764503204762' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/5895702764503204762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/5895702764503204762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/10/energy-patience.html' title='Energy &amp; Patience'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SumsyEb4phI/AAAAAAAACw0/WZrkCqE9Ytw/s72-c/blog+003.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-5870272421054528444</id><published>2009-10-21T16:12:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-21T16:52:17.197+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the time is now'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='living in the now'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='living in the present'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='now'/><title type='text'>The Time Is Now!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/St8uCIe2mlI/AAAAAAAACwU/3rz9kwlwENI/s1600-h/Day+7+-+Caryl+01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/St8uCIe2mlI/AAAAAAAACwU/3rz9kwlwENI/s400/Day+7+-+Caryl+01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395081492784650834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Years ago my watch fell off my wrist at JFK Airport. I was horrified and dragged my poor 3 (then) toddlers all over the airport looking for it. Well, what was I going to do without my watch?  I needed it so I wouldn't be late to anything and possibly miss something important!  How could I possibly go on without knowing how long I had before I had to be somewhere else or how long before I arrived at my next destination etc... etc... etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow!   I  look back at those days now and think that losing my watch was one of the best things that ever happened to me.  Why?  You may well ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without a watch I have learned to appreciate what I am doing in the "now". I have learnt to make the most of and really enjoy what I am doing, rather than focusing or even worrying about how much longer I may have to do it.  Sure, there are still schedules I have to be aware of but I find so much more gets done now and I get so much more out of what I do.  When I wore a watch I was always glancing at it, taking my attention away from who I was with or what I was doing, afraid that I would miss my next appointment when in fact, what I was really missing was the experience I was currently having. I was never fully there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never again worn a watch and today, I  can honestly say that I fully experience the "now" of everything I do.

The thesaurus says &lt;b&gt;manifestation &lt;/b&gt;is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; a clear appearance; "a manifestation of great emotion"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; a manifest indication of the existence or presence or nature of some person or thing; "a manifestation of disease"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;an appearance in bodily form (as of a disembodied spirit)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;expression without words; "tears are an expression of grief"; "the pulse is a reflection of the heart's condition"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a public display of group feelings (usually of a political nature); "there were violent demonstrations against the war"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;If you use your energy thoughts well, you have the power to manifest whatever you wish.  Yes, it's all about energy and the power of the mind!  We attract into our lives, whatever we think about.  That IS manifestation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use the power of the mind in this way, it is important to let the intention manifest itself.  If you think too much about how something will manifest, you are interfering with the intention and therefore limiting its process and possibly the end result.  Allow the energy to flow and let the Universe do its work.  All you need to do is to focus on what you envision and be open to signs and opportunities that come your way that will help manifest that intention into being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay positive in your thoughts.  If you think about what you don't want, the energy has to start with just that - what you &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; want.  For example: when a child climbs up a high tree, you will often hear a parent call out, "Don't fall!"  To &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; fall, that child must  think about actually  falling, so that they can turn that thought around and not do it!  To focus the energy in a better way, it is much better to say, "Hold on tight!"  Think about it.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think in the now.  Become the person you want to be.  Believe you can make  things happen.  Rely on your own energy to manifest your dreams.   Be a happy person.  When you are happy, your vibration is in a state of receiving which makes it much easier for the Universe to deliver.  A happy person is a positive one who has the type of energy to create anything they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What are you thinking right now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-3559726239866139789?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/3559726239866139789/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=3559726239866139789' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/3559726239866139789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/3559726239866139789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/09/manifestation.html' title='Manifestation'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-1081142237282676734</id><published>2009-09-07T09:58:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-07T10:18:29.290+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='power of the mind'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thinking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='being positive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positivity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive thoughts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive energy'/><title type='text'>The Power of the Mind!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SqTMzO4toHI/AAAAAAAACtA/iVd6pIvIAIg/s1600-h/j0187587.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SqTMzO4toHI/AAAAAAAACtA/iVd6pIvIAIg/s320/j0187587.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378649035528577138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your thoughts are extremely powerful energy forms. Be careful what you think......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was 12 years old, I convinced my mother that I had a terrible stomach ache just to get out of going to school. That was the day of the compulsory cross-country fun run and I couldn't (and still don't) understand how the words "fun" and "run" could be put into the same sentence together! Anyway, my mother allowed me to stay at home and throughout the morning I would make the right moans and groans of someone in pain. After a little while my mother asked me to quit making noises as she knew I had been faking it. By lunch time though my stomach really was aching and I started moaning with pain, but she didn't believe me.... until 5:00pm that afternoon when she could see that I was serious and took me to the doctor. By 6:00pm I was in hospital having an emergency appendectomy!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had thought about having a stomach ache for so long that I actually brought on a serious case of appendicitis!  Never under-estimate the incredible power of the mind!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• If you think you aren't capable of doing something you probably won't be able to do it.&lt;br /&gt;• If you think you're going to get sick you probably will.&lt;br /&gt;• If you think you're going to be sad for the rest of your life you probably will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you see a pattern here?  Now turn all this around and start using those thoughts in a positive way.  Having positive thoughts will enable you to become a positive person and that energy will spill over into everything you do and to everyone around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start thinking, "Sunshine, Smiles, Healthy, Love ........." and see the difference! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-1081142237282676734?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/1081142237282676734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=1081142237282676734' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/1081142237282676734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/1081142237282676734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/09/power-of-mind.html' title='The Power of the Mind!'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SqTMzO4toHI/AAAAAAAACtA/iVd6pIvIAIg/s72-c/j0187587.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-2658925009912072940</id><published>2009-09-03T13:22:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T13:37:13.402+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sharing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='change'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Eye of God'/><title type='text'>The Eye Of God</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/Sp-1YlBIIkI/AAAAAAAACs4/fmDYVZyIjXE/s1600-h/Eye+of+God.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 365px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/Sp-1YlBIIkI/AAAAAAAACs4/fmDYVZyIjXE/s400/Eye+of+God.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377215913961988674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A very rare photo, taken by NASA with the Hubbell telescope.

Let's face it, we intuitively know (or can work out) what to do or how to handle certain situations so why not just hand it out when asked.  Because we are who we are, we usually do this without a second thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SpTyc5v7IMI/AAAAAAAACoo/84Z6hBwNyFw/s1600-h/j0351904.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SpTyc5v7IMI/AAAAAAAACoo/84Z6hBwNyFw/s320/j0351904.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374186833711931586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;However, it's important to remember, that as an energy worker - (as for anyone in any type of job) - we need a balance of energy ourselves to be able to keep offering the best of our skills to others.  If we keep giving to all, without return, an imbalance takes place. This creates feelings of tiredness and subconcious thought patterns of being taken for granted which start to creep into everyday life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other people do their jobs with a return on the specific skills that they bring to those jobs.  This return brings an energy balance into play which naturally evens out on both sides.  They have "given" in their work and then "received" in payment for their work.  This is a balanced exchange of energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SpTycpab8WI/AAAAAAAACog/00HbfTCUCTk/s1600-h/j0290059.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 253px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SpTycpab8WI/AAAAAAAACog/00HbfTCUCTk/s320/j0290059.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374186829326840162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Our work should also be treated this way. When we "give" by using our skills to help others, it is important to also "receive" in payment for the use of those skills.  It is only when that exchange of energy stays balanced that we all get the full benefits and rewards that those skills can offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for reading! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-854552599725837344?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/854552599725837344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=854552599725837344' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/854552599725837344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/854552599725837344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/08/balancing-energy.html' title='Balancing Energy'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SpTyc5v7IMI/AAAAAAAACoo/84Z6hBwNyFw/s72-c/j0351904.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-6495768279304873653</id><published>2009-08-20T12:03:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-20T18:19:24.125+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jewellery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing gifts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='distant healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charms Of Light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing jewellery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reiki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gemstones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='positive energy'/><title type='text'>Charms Of Light - Healing</title><content type='html'>Years ago, when I originally started the &lt;a href="http://www.charmsoflight.com/"&gt;Charms Of Light&lt;/a&gt; business, I was thinking about combining healing &amp;amp; beauty together.  Healing with gemstones created into beautiful jewellery seemed the perfect idea.  The name "Charms Of Light" popped into my head at the time and it just felt so right, as every piece of jewellery I create is made with love and an intent to heal, therefore they are all "Charms Of Light"!  I openly thank my Angels for giving me the name to work with. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/So2E5IGsbQI/AAAAAAAACn8/7zDr7z44Ed8/s1600-h/Amethyst+Necklace+4+blog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/So2E5IGsbQI/AAAAAAAACn8/7zDr7z44Ed8/s320/Amethyst+Necklace+4+blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372096047485840642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As time has moved on, I have had the honour and opportunity to create these Charms Of Light for many different people.  The experience has helped me to grow, just as much as I have helped others and I thank each and every person along the way, for the part they have played.  My business has grown, offering not only &lt;a href="http://www.charmsoflight.com/jewellery.html"&gt;healing jewellery&lt;/a&gt; but &lt;a href="http://www.charmsoflight.com/healing-gifts.html"&gt;healing gifts&lt;/a&gt; as well, while Reiki and &lt;a href="http://www.charmsoflight.com/healing/healing-treatments.html"&gt;Distant healing&lt;/a&gt; on an intuitive level are very much part of what Charms Of Light is now all about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/So2E5R7SpEI/AAAAAAAACoE/a3qPfxtSYxU/s1600-h/bd19879_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/So2E5R7SpEI/AAAAAAAACoE/a3qPfxtSYxU/s320/bd19879_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372096050122368066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As I move forward in my journey with Charms Of Light, I believe it is time to branch out further and offer ways of teaching others to heal themselves.  Healing workshops are now being planned for one-on-one, as well as group sessions.  I am excited about these workshops and look forward to working with more people, helping to guide them to natural healing with positive energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Love, light &amp;amp; many blessings! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-6495768279304873653?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/6495768279304873653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=6495768279304873653' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/6495768279304873653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/6495768279304873653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/08/charms-of-light-healing.html' title='Charms Of Light - Healing'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/So2E5IGsbQI/AAAAAAAACn8/7zDr7z44Ed8/s72-c/Amethyst+Necklace+4+blog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-6418439582952876127</id><published>2009-08-19T07:00:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-19T07:00:01.132+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jewellery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flattery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='imitation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copyright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charms Of Light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healing jewellery'/><title type='text'>When Imitation is not Flattery!</title><content type='html'>I work hard at what I do and find much satisfaction from the achievements I have made.

Yesterday, I was surfing the web and came across another website that sells jewellery.  I was astonished to see that they were using my photograph of an Amethyst bracelet that I created for my own website.  They were using this to sell their company and its jewellery products.  Not only that, they were also using exact words taken from the homepage of my website to extol the virtues of their own jewellery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the jewellery industry, you often find other companies selling designs similar to your own but you don't expect them to be using your own photo of one of your own creations!  Some will say, that imitation is a form of flattery but this also hurts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is an outright infringement of copyright laws and is illegal!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2563840440613263618-6418439582952876127?l=charmsoflight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/feeds/6418439582952876127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2563840440613263618&amp;postID=6418439582952876127' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/6418439582952876127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2563840440613263618/posts/default/6418439582952876127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://charmsoflight.blogspot.com/2009/08/when-imitation-is-not-flattery.html' title='When Imitation is not Flattery!'/><author><name>Charms Of Light</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191404900372192879</uri><email>caryl@charmsoflight.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17953041102584401437'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563840440613263618.post-8062942996476796566</id><published>2009-08-18T11:48:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-18T12:13:20.631+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recycled fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recycling'/><title type='text'>Recycled Fashion</title><content type='html'>I am a big fan of recycling. Not only does it save money, but it is also good for the environment. Even when I was a fashion designer (before my children came along), I would happily recycle scarves and turn them into skirts etc.  Nowadays, my daughter turns old skirts into new fashion items all the time, keeping her unique style within a very economical budget.  However, when a friend sent me this picture the other day, I couldn't help but wonder whether it's about time for someone to draw a line on how clothes should be recycled!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SoqH2s7hU3I/AAAAAAAACn0/y5uF9QnwsUI/s1600-h/recycled.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rIQXzKnFKxs/SoqH2s7hU3I/AAAAAAAACn0/y5uF9QnwsUI/s400/recycled.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371254879436231538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Take a closer look.
