2012

December 21st 2012 has been the date that has been the cause of much concern in recent years mainly due to the fact that it is the end date of the Mayan Calender. Doomsday prophecies from other prophets in the past have also made mention of this "apocalyptic" 2012. There is supposed to be an onslaught of natural disasters in wake of the approaching 2012 and at 11:11 GMT of the winter solstice (21st december) a global scaled apocalyse or "end-of-the-world" phenomenon is to occur. The many devastating large-scaled eathquakes and tsunamis that have terrorized the world have reinforced these prophecies about a nearing doomsday. I believe that these natural disasters have more to do with the earth shifting on its axis and causing redistribution and alterations of the earth's topography, ocean currents and weather systems and while they are scary to experience and often result in the loss of many lives it is not the end of the world. The earth has been predicted to be destroyed numerous times by numerous people from all over the world and yet we are still standing, going about our daily lives just as we do everyday and beyond 2012 people will still continue to make prophecies about the "end of days" and the apocalypse. To illustrate my point here are some prophecies and predictions of the end of the world that have been made (The order of the following prophecies and predictions go as follows: Date when end of the world will occur > The person making the prophecy or prediction > The details of the prohecy or prediction) :

33. 2012 - Mayan Civilization : End date on Mayan Calendar

The Mayans were skilled astrologers and although their calender ends at 2012 their prediction span well into the future (up to 4772 A.D.). So why would the Mayans bother making predictions well into the future if all life was to be extinct in 2012? Because like other predictions and prophecies in the past about the "end of days" it simply will not happen and life will continue to go on. Do I think that there is no truth to the 2012 phenomenon...of course not. I believe the Mayans have given us indication that the world "as we know it" is ending but this is reference to the spiritual aspect of the world rather than the physical. It indicates that humankind is entering a new phase of spiritual awareness that is on a global scale. This is also indicated by the time at which the world is expected to shift into a higher awareness - 11:11 universal time. Many people across the world have been subject to the synchonicity of 11:11; glancing at their clocks or watches at exactly the time the clock changes to 11:11. Doreen Virtue PH.D.  (Clairvoyant) says that seeing the repitition of the sequence of number ones signifies the opening of gateways of opportunities and that the speed at which thoughts manifest will increase. Imagine the increased ability to manifest at record speed on a global scale. This is what we have to look forward to in 2012...not the end of the world. People just love to have excitement in their lives maybe because it is something to look forward to or maybe because there is unity and togetherness in the face of disaster and calamity. You may wonder why all the natural disasters if we are supposed to be transitioning into an age of spiritual awareness. My answer: Why is it always darkest before the dawn?

Psychic Powers

Who has not dreamed of possessing psychic powers? Even as a little child watching your favorite superhero you had some inner desire to be just like that. Its perfectly normal. But in a world where we are repressed and told at a very young age that certain things don't exist and forced to be normalized we lose touch with our inherent gifts and aren't given an opportunity to hone them. Most people go their entire lives without getting in touch with their God-given talents. And while there are some people who naturally develop these gifts, the fact is that we all have the potential to tap into these abilities. The different abilities are linked to your energy levels, your aura and your chakras. Depending on if your chakras are balanced and in sync with each other, you may or may not be able to tap into them. Its is like trying to drive a car with the engine clogged...you first have to ensure the engine is clean before optimum functioning. Similarly you have to make sure all your energy centers are glistening clean before you can attempt to tap into your inner potential. There are many techniques you can use to clean your chakras (refer to my post on chakras). This should be done on a regular basis so that your body becomes accustomed to fully functioning chakras before undertaking any training to tap into your psychic powers. Here is a list of some psychic abilities that I have come across:

Astral Projection: The ability to consciously move or "project" your spirit to any place, person or thing on earth and experience this with a the same (if not greater) capacity as you would if you were there physically (both body and spirit).

Clairaudience: The ability to hear interdimensional frequencies. Simply put, those who possess clairaudience can receive guidance from angels, fae, spirit guides, guardian angels and beings from the Other Side through audio-perception.

Clairsentience: The ability to receive projected emotions from beings on earth and beings from the Other Side. It can be described as extreme empathy.

Clairvoyance: The ability to see beings, objects or information from earth or the Other Side. Clairvoyants can glimpse into the future, present or past of individuals.

Levitation: The ability to elevate or suspend your own body midair for a discernable length of time without aid of any kind. Those who have control over this ability are also able to move while suspended in the air.

Prophecy: The ability to have visions events that are of the future or of the past. Visions are not always clear and interpretation is unique to the person with this ability.

Psychokinesis: The ability to move or manipulate objects without applying any physical (or other scientifically explainable) force. Also known as telekinesis.

Telepathy: The ability to transfer information, knowledge or feelings from one person to another without using the senses.

Now you might think that you can just go after whatever power you want to have but this may not always be possible. It depends on the frequency your energy is vibrating at and the ability to maintain that energy level to enhance a psychic power. You can have a higher vibrational energy by:

1. Becoming vegan (or vegetarian) and using herbal products and medicines as an alternative.
2. By engaging in meditation and breathing exercises
3. Using crystals to amplify your energy or help with you chakras
4. Spending time around nature (some place serene) 
5. Using affirmations to make your outlook on life more positive and joyful.
6. Asking your angels to help you clear out any energy debris in your aura or chakras regularly
7. Listening to positive, uplifting music
8. Surrounding yourself with postive, optimistic individuals
9. Being kinder, more loving and compassionate towards others
10. Abstinence from additives, preservatives, meat, fish, alcohol, smoking, pills.
