THE GIFT OF THE FUTURE

THE GIFT OF THE FUTURE

Hello,

For the sake of absolute clarity and so as not to overcomplicate the issue I’m going to avoid giving details of astrological and esoteric techniques that would not, in any case, give you any greater understanding of the text.

The world is rearming itself in preparation for the end of the world as predicted by the Mayans, who prophesied the last date on the calendar would be: December 21st 2012.

What’s this all about?

The Mayans were a very ancient civilization in South America, emerging in the 3rd century BC and dying out in the 16th century, after the Spanish conquest.
The Mayans acquired a profound understanding of astronomy and it was this science they used to compile the calendars according to which they measured time and organised their social, financial and religious life.

Their calendars were calculated over a span of 5,000 years, so the Mayan’s predictions go back to 3,000 years BC, Not bad, I’m sure you’ll agree!

For the Mayans, there was not sky, but thirteen!
Thirteen skies, each with its own god. Thirteen skies each taking its turn in playing a part in the countdown the days, dividing up the calendar. Everything revolved around twenty « solar energies » corresponding not only to virtues but also to the different stages through which a soul passes in its life cycle.

The result?

A highly complex mathematical system and, more importantly, a profoundly meaningful organisation of time: for ancient Mayan priest-astronomers, every day was part of a series of astronomical and symbolic cycles depending simultaneously on the gods, man and the stars.

As well as this calendar, the Mayans used two other, simpler, calendars.

What were they all about?

The axis of the Earth is slowly, very slowly, shifting. The movement of the axis, or drift, is caused by the impact of certain forces of the solar system.

So, this means a change in the positioning of the North Pole in relation to stars that are fanning out, imperceptibly, in a conical formation, a movement set to complete its arc in 26,000 years.

This astronomical cycle is called the « precession of the equinoxes ».
The pace of the change in direction of the axis of rotation of the Earth is extremely slow.

But how can we possibly know when we have arrived at the point zero of the movement of the axis of the Earth? I should be quite clear that the Mayans did not leave behind any document mentioning the « end of time ».

The approach of the end of the Fifth Cycle, according to the Mayan calendar, does not necessarily mean the end or the world, or the disappearance of humanity.

One could say that the world is currently going through a time of immense upheaval and the future we face is an uncertain on, with more than one economic crisis and climate change coming our way.

Much more probably, it will take the form of an all-encompassing crisis of conscience. We will have to leave the old values behind, replacing them with better, truer ones more suited to equipping us for the future.

But there is much debris in our minds that we are going to have to strip away.

That’s why I’m asking, in these times where the forecasts are already pretty catastrophic, that you set your compass set firmly in the right direction and hold your course from the present to the future with optimism and courage!

Isn’t it comforting to know you have the gift of the future in your hands right now?

Looking forward to the next time.

The Law of Attraction:

How to attract Luck and Prosperity into your Life

A PERSON’S SUCCESS (their social status, friends and relations, their wealth, their luck in life, etc.) DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THEIR INNER ENERGY AND VIBRATORY POWER, IN OTHER WORDS, ON THEIR CHARISMA

Charisma is that natural authority, that irresistible fascination a person can have over others, almost as if they had supernatural powers.

Charisma is the result of what is called vibration, the subtle energy that emanates from each of us. Some people are described as being charismatic, while others are not.

The truth is that charisma can be acquired!

In life, people with the lowest vibrations are the shyest, so much so they are practically invisible. People who have ‘average’ vibration live an ordinary life, in other words, as many good times as bad, as much sadness as happiness, and they end up leading a fairly dreary existence.

Those, however, whose vibrations are on a higher level attract the happiest events, the most fortunate circumstances and the most fulfilling encounters towards them, as if by magic. They are the driving forces in life because others, whose vibratory levels are lower, always seek to imitate them and follow them.

People who are gifted with very high frequency vibrations forge their way in life unhindered by fear or doubt. They find it much easier to overcome the obstacles and problems that stand between them and their objectives. They are blessed with this vital force that allows them to move forward and achieve their goals. Those with lower vibratory levels, however, are plagued with fear and doubt.

On Earth and in the Universe, everything is vibration. When human beings are in absolute harmony with their surroundings, this means their vibrations are aligned with the surrounding vibrations. So once we realise we are part of a Whole that is no more or less than energy and vibration, it becomes very easy to establish a link with the natural forces, to increase our energetic and vibratory potential.

Its very important to understand this link between human beings and the world around us, a subtle link that allows us to drawn on and accumulate quantities of energy and power to take our vibratory level over the average.

This vibratory energy is the greatest source of wealth that human beings possess and those who are blessed with it are better equipped to succeed in life.

There is a close link between the power of thought and the levels of energy and vibration available to us, and when thoughts are endowed with the determination to succeed in all areas, the mind becomes a laser that focuses all its vibratory power on achieving the goal, whatever it is.

When this happens, we achieve great clarity, our ideas are no longer muddled and, moreover, flood in their thousands into a mind uncluttered what you might call negative thought.

Most people nowadays have fairly weak charisma, because their inner energy and vibratory power are not very highly developed.

Why is this?...

The reason is that most people are cut off from this fundamental truth: humans are essentially unlimited beings, intended to live every instant of their existence in joy, abundance, happiness and love, in harmony with the universe around them.

Instead, they often suffer misfortune, restrictions and trials and tribulations of all sorts over the course of their incarnation in the material world. They often end up – rightly, moreover – feeling frustrated, confused and as if life has not treated them fairly. They feel a sort of fundamental injustice.

Basically, they have a confused feeling, deep within them, that something « isn’t right », and that life has much better things to offer them!

What is the source of this vague yet persistent feeling?

It’s because the « little voice » of their soul is whispering to them that their origin is of a divine nature… This is something the various religions on Earth never cease to remind us of. The Sacred Scriptures to which these religions refer all mention the existence of a spiritual guide whose role is to assist human beings during their earthly existence.

In most cultures, these spiritual manifestations would be seen as coming from other kingdoms, more subtle than our own. Over the course of time and civilisations, have always developed relationships with these spiritual aids, whatever the name given to them.

For ease of expression, and because it’s a term commonly used, here we will speak of a « Lucky Star ». But you could also use the term Guardian Angel, for example, without changing the meaning in any way.

Whatever you call it, you need to know that each of us has a lucky star that presides over their personal destiny.

Yes, this star, this cosmic guide, does exist and is accessible in each of us, to protect us and help us benefit from exceptional opportunities…

That is its nature,
its reason for being, its cosmic mission

So, you might say, if we really do have a lucky star, why doesn’t life bestow more of its good things on you?

Yes, why don’t you have all the luck, prosperity, love, success and harmony you may rightfully expect in life? ...

The answer is very simple: it’s because you’ve « lost contact » with your Lucky Star.

In other words, you’ve strayed from the Path of Light, and although your Star lives on in you and forms a fundamental part of your inner being, you no longer communicate with it. You can no longer profit from its guidance and enlightened messages.

It’s rather as if an opaque ‘smokescreen’ had gradually come down, a screen which your Star cannot penetrate.

So, you remain trapped in an ordinary state of consciousness, in which your perception of yourself, and of the universe, is fragmented, limited. You no longer have access to the magical part of the universe, the transcendental reality – much bigger than your beliefs, more enormous than anything you could possibly imagine.

Consequently: instead of prospering on a material and spiritual level, your life stagnates. One way of putting it is that you’re cut off from the personal resources and creativity that would allow you to lead a richer, more gratifying life in all areas.

But don’t worry, I have good news: this state is not irreversible and you get rid of this opaque ‘smokescreen’ that’s preventing you from profiting fully from the positive influence of your lucky Star.

It is absolutely possible to increase your personal charisma and re-establish contact with this spiritual guide, with your Star of Light.

Once this luminous link has been « reactivated », you’ll see your problems resolve themselves as if by magic. Your life will take a new turn, because the potential for wealth and happiness dormant within you will finally begin to be unleashed.

I’m going to stop here for this time but don’t worry, I’ll reveal to you how to reactive this link with your lucky star next time.

Intuition, a marvellous "tool"

2009-06-02T16:13:00.005+02:00

INTUITION that marvellous ‘tool’ which is available to us naturally, but which we use little or ‘ineptly’ … simply because we do not know how to do it.

Once we know how to listen to the voice of our intuition, the ‘opaque smokescreen’ estranging us from our happy fate disappears forever!

Perhaps you do not know it yet, but your intuition is your best friend and it will never trick you. Your intuition is like a beacon in the middle of the night.

Your intuition is the ally and the faithful servant of the Guide to Love and Light that is your lucky Star.

But in order to benefit fully from the thousand and one services that it can perform for you, you must be determined to listen to it. This is most often the difficult part.

Whereas animals always follow their instinct, human beings can choose to do exactly the opposite of what their intuition dictates. Animals are invariably led by their instincts. For example, if an animal is frightened to enter a place, it does not enter; it follows its instinct, which is indicating danger, and saves itself by running away.

For humans, this is different and more complex because we have a conscience and free will, which means we have to make choices and live with the consequences. That is how the human race has evolved to become what it is: a divine being with unlimited powers.

You will certainly have noticed this: often, when something bad has happened, when you stop to analyse the situation, you remember many signs and premonitions which served as warnings, but you choose to spurn your intuition…only to regret it later!

You need to learn how to listen to your heart and follow your intuition. When you say that you will do something and you feel uneasy in yourself, it is because you are doing something that you do not want to do or that you shouldn’t do. It is your intuition that is guiding you and you must listen to it.

By repressing their intuitions, senses and emotions, people in our so-called modern societies end up not knowing what they want to say. We lose the ability to decipher the meaning of the events and experiences through which we live. We lose touch with our inner life and we walk on into the darkness because we no longer listen to our internal guides.

But first of all, what is intuition?

Intuition can be defined as a type of immediate knowledge which does not draw on logical and rational reasoning, like a feeling, which may be more or less clear, impossible to put your finger on, as yet unformed.

Intuition could be described as the acquisition of new, spontaneous, sudden knowledge; a flash of information, generally accompanied by a vague emotion or feeling – positive or negative, depending on the case.

In the minds of many people, intuition is often linked to premonition. And with good reason since, speaking personally, my experience as a clairvoyant and medium has shown me how premonition and intuitive perception are in fact similar ; they are manifested in the same way.

Intuition is communication with the infinite intelligence of the unconscious (or alternatively the subconscious) Mind.

It is easier to understand when you realise that the conscious mind is in charge of reasoning, rationalising and intellectualising. It is the alert and voluntary part of your mind. In this respect, the conscious is objective and active: it chooses and decides. All the thoughts and images that your mind forms and conceives are ‘dispatched’ to your subconscious which ‘stores’ them.

The subconscious is the unconscious ‘dormant’ part of your mind. This is the subjective, passive part that obeys the orders given by your conscious mind, which executes all of your instructions to the letter. It does not know how to think, it only knows to obey. It is the seat of your emotions, your habits and your memory.

But there is also a ‘super-conscious’ which is located beyond the conscious and the subconscious. Certain ‘psychic powers’, or paranormal powers, such as telepathy, telekinesis, ‘astral journey’, clairvoyance, belong to the domain of the super-conscious. Intuition also comes from the super-conscious.

People who are experts in occultism, mediums, clairvoyants – in other words those who believe in the existence of realities and dimensions other than those in which we live out our daily lives -, intuition is one of the numerous powers that human beings can develop and learn to master (you too, in this case, if you really want to…).

Intuition, (the sixth sense) is, however, a sense similar to other senses (hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste), except that it is not linked to any visible organ. It is a strange thing that little children are taught from a very early age to distinguish between colours and smells, to enjoy caresses, reading, writing, singing, etc. whereas they are NEVER told that the little inner voice that they often hear (particularly before the age of 8) is worthy of all their attention.

It is only by making use of this sense that they can learn to distinguish right from wrong, genuine people from fakes. It can show them the path to follow so that their life will be strewn with roses rather than nettles, and by following its recommendations, they will have access to the secrets of the Universe.

Researchers and prestigious scientists have discovered, by performing extrasensory perception tests on children, that the younger the child, the greater their powers in this domain. All children possess psychic gifts that disappear as they grow older, repressed, deeper and deeper, by education and the pressures and constraints of life in society (the ‘smokescreen’).

HOW DOES INTUITION MANIFEST ITSELF ?

I will give you some hints here; they will enable you to recognise your intuitions as you begin to develop the powers of intuition dormant within you …

At the beginning, before you have brought it under control, intuition manifests itself without any warning at the times and in the situations when you least expect it. You suddenly feel a vague, hazy feeling; a sort of illumination from within. Suddenly, you know, without thinking or reasoning, that you have the truth, but without being able to prove it in a logical way. It is located more in your ‘guts’ and your heart than in your head.

The greatest problem which you come up against as intuition develops and this type of feeling occurs, is that you tend to deny it, putting it down to imagination or silliness…and it is often when the intuitive perception is fulfilled that you realise how pertinent it was. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is too late.

In other words, you should seize these flashes of intuition when they happen! But recognising the signs of intuition is not always easy, because it is a capricious faculty that takes on different guises. It might communicate with your mind by making you see images because it knows that these images will meet with a response.

For example, the image of your son receiving a diploma a few hours before he gives you the invitation to the presentation ceremony. Or the image of a friend on a hospital bed the day before his car accident. Or even the image of a person you have never seen before in your life but who appears at your door shortly after this vision.

Intuition also manifests itself through images when it happens in your dreams, in creative visualisations or when meditating.

Sometimes, intuition emerges through sound. For example, when you hear a voice, inside you, which suggests something to you, a recommendation or admonition. Sometimes, again, you might have the feeling of hearing music. In this case, turn your attention to the music: what does it evoke for you? Is it gentle and peaceful or alternatively, loud and strident?

There are also the ring of the telephone or the doorbell. You pick up the handset…but it’s dead. You open the door…nobody there! Pay attention if this happens, you will know that it is a truly an intuition if soon afterwards you can easily link this bizarre phenomenon to a specific event: a telephone call or a visitor.

In the same line, feelings such as shivers, trembling, sudden anxiety or the quickening up of the heartbeat, or an aversion as rapid as it is inexplicable, are guises that intuition may take to communicate with you, to make you aware that something is wrong or, to the contrary, that something marvellous is happening.

There are also those moments when you get the impression that someone is looking at you, touching you or stroking your hair, even when you are on your own.

As your intuition beings to develop, do not be surprised if you perceive one or several of the manifestations that I have just described. Do not treat them with indifference or scorn, saying afterwards: "I should have gone with my first idea…" Remember that the first impression is often the best.

Maria Duval - The Rule of Wealth No. 6

Give in order to receive.....

This is the universal principle of wealth and prosperity on which all religions, philosophies and spiritual teachings unanimously agree. They all acknowledge that it is a golden rule for accumulating money, material riches and prosperity here on Earth. If you are looking for a new source of income or trying to improve your standard of living, you should at your very best try to give a small amount of the benefits the universal cosmic energy is granting you.

Acquiring money for its own sake, living a selfish life without sharing, means breaking the laws that create cosmic harmony. This creates a negative money karma which can come back to you in the future.

Maria Duval says, do not be imprison by this archaic and selfish mentality of accumulating wealth.

Giving and receiving are not limited to material things. If you can be, try your best to compliment someone when that person has genuinely does well in life. This is not to be mistaken as bootlicking which is baseless in nature.

So open your heart and your mind, practise giving. Give those around you the chance to give and you will see that they are happy to do so. This way, you will improve in return.

Maria Duval - The Rule of Wealth No. 5

2009-05-26T10:34:00.003+02:00

Money must circulate freely...

It is important to know this rule. Money is a form of energy and it must be a form of circulating energy, meaning you cannot hoard it, otherwise it will coagulate, like blood, and thus leading to more problems later.

When your blood is circulating freely, you are in great health. When money flows into your life freely, Maria Duval classifies you as a financially healthy person. The more you try to safeguard this energy in a box in your bedroom, the more financially sick you are. Surely, this does not mean saving is no good.

Maria Duval does not recommend saving just for its own sake, but she does recommend it as a means of developing the love of work. What she means is that financial success requires some form of enthusiasm at work.

The source of this enthusiasm can be found in your emotions. It is your emotion that drives you towards your goal. Without this "emotional support", saving money is tough.

Determination will never make you a saver without something else to spur you on. Do not save base on the emotion of fear but save based on the positive emotion of love, and this promotes the circulation of universal energy.

In conclusion, saving money should come from healthy and positive thought rather than negative ones. You should also focus on the achievement of a goal and objective rather than saving for the sake of a raining day. There is a big world of different in mindset, and this shift in mindset could result in the blockage of the money circulation.

Maria Duval - The Rule of Wealth No. 4

2009-05-25T09:25:00.002+02:00

Maria Duval says money comes into your life for a specific reason

You need to know that when money comes into your life, it is subordinate to an aim, an objective, a wish. Having an aim in life is the force the drives life on; it's what gives existences a meaning and makes it sacred. It is up to you to find this objective, to define it. To do this, you need to be aware of what it is you really want.

You must be able to express what it is in you want in the simplest of terms, for example, "my objective is to provide myself and my family with material comfort and financial security", or, "my objective is to guarantee my children's studies so that they can attain a good place in society, and find a job that makes them happy".

Maria Duval thinks that wealth takes on a different aspect according to the person, because everyone has their own particular idea, which is a function of their needs and wishes.

So you must define your objective, so that prosperity and riches can take the tangible form in life as your formulate it. So clearly define the aim you have in mind, then stick to it closely until you have achieved it. The Universal Cosmic Energy can give you all the fortune you desire.

Maria Duval - The Rule of Wealth No. 3

2009-05-22T07:41:00.002+02:00

Being aware of money leads to having money.

You now know that you hold everything you need to become rich within you. You also know that the true nature of money, what pushes it away and the need to think positively about it.

You also need to develop the right state of mind, which means visualising your financial success in a sustainable way.

Let Maria Duval explain: achieving financial security is a process rather than a state. A state refers to something not permanent and prone to changes. This means if you visualise wealth as a state, you will permanently stressed - consciously or subconsciously - by the thought of losing it.

A process, on the other hand, accompanies you every inch and never leaves you. By opening up your heart and your mind to prosperity, you will build within yourself a feeling of wealth that nobody will be able to take from you.

Don't harbour any doubt and don't be discouraged, have faith that money will flow into your life and you will see how prosperity become a reality.

Best of luck and wishes!

Maria Duval - The Rule of Wealth No. 2

2009-05-20T09:35:00.000+02:00

Maria Duval's rule number is very simple to understand.

Fall in love with money if you want it to fall in love with you.

Maria Duval knows that this statement goes against traditional views of many conservative families, but this sentence is true in the occult and psychic world. If a person does not love money, then money will not love he or she in return.

Do you know that you could be subconsciously rejecting money and maybe even to the point that money is scared of coming into your life?

Yes, this is one of the most fatal mistake one could ever make. It's equivalent to rejecting a girl or guy who you love and then complaining that you are feeling lonely. If you reject something or someone, they will never come back again in your life, unless there is a drastic change in the mentality.

Maria Duval says that it is important that you love money without false pride and it will love you back. In this world, there is no dirty money. Money is a spiritual energy that flows around, and the only thing that is unclean is the mind of the person who handles it. The more you condemn, the more you will lose.

Maria Duval - The Rule of Wealth No. 1

2009-05-15T11:01:00.000+02:00

Everything you need to become rich is already within you.

All you need to do is to "show" or externalise it.

Assets such as physical beauty, luck and even the use of magic can favour the arrival of fortune. But you can be sure that without the right frame of mind, without the appropriate attitude - the so called "millionaire attitude" - it's next to impossible to attract into your life.

So the first stage on your path to prosperity, wealth and material comfort concerns your state of mind, as you cultivate your attitude towards money.

Properly channelled and in harmony with the creative laws of the Universe, the power of your thoughts can really trigger success. giving you access to things that you want in your life.

You will surely notice how positive minded people are always the ones who achieve the most success in the end. The common things that they have in common is strength of character, engendered and maintained by the formidable power of their mind, which they have learned to maximise.

Whatever your personal situation is, your life is more or less than fruits of your "thought" seeds planted in the garden of your past. Everyone who has ever become rich has done so because they firmly believed in the constructive powers of their positive thoughts.

Maria Duval Prosperity Rule No.8

2009-05-13T10:06:00.003+02:00

Maria Duval's last rule on attracting prosperity is straightforward.

Do not make the same mistake as what many people have committed over and over again. Don't allow yourself to be pulled back by the kind of lazy mentality even before you have started or put in an effort.

Spring your ideas into actions as soon as you think it is feasible and within your ability, or some promising opportunities present itself to you in some ways.

Take Maria Duval's word for it. This is really the perfect way to make a success of your projects.

Be a winner from the start!

How can you develop this wonderful ability? It's easy!

Allow your strength of mind to give you the strength to act!

And remember: Fortune only smiles on those who are audacious. Don't just look at the cherry, take a big bite out of it! Use this advice to help you to develop this "go-getting" temperament, this winning spirit:

Take immediate action when an opportunity presents itself.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today! Everything that has been done no longer needs doing.

Maria Duval Prosperity Rule No.7

2009-05-12T08:09:00.002+02:00

Maria Duval suggests that you must constantly listen out for what your inner self tells you, because as a fragment of the Divine Intelligence and Consciousness, this is the only voice that can really bring you all the treasures that you are seeking.

This Inner Master is the added dimension that will make all your dealings much more profitable.

Each time you find yourself in conflict or competition with someone, or several people, each time you are on the point of embarking something important, turn to your inner spiritual self to seek guidance and inspirations so that you can find a quick favourable solution to your problem.

So from now on, don't do anything without first consulting your Inner Consciousness which resides in the core of your being., like a sparking diamond in a purple velvet jewel case.

Just for a moment, switch off your left brain and let the right brain into play, and the right one is the one that gives you your intuition. Yes, the voice of your wisdom comes from your inner core, where it gives you the power, strength, life and inspiration to allow you to step nearer to your set objectives in life.

Your Soul resides within your core. This Divine Legacy bequeathed to you when you first took breath at the time of your first incarnation on Earth, this fragment of pure light has been cloaked and dimmed due to your upbringing in this insanely materialistic world.

Finally, Maria Duval exclaims that no matter how feeble it may seem, this Spark of Light continues to shine brightly within your core of your being. This extraordinary power is ready to break out of its dark prison at any moment. With your Inner Being to guide you, you will no longer have to second guess what is in front of you.

Essentially, you hold the keys which open the doors to the endless Bliss to be experienced in the Paradise that is within you.

Maria Duval Prosperity Rule No.6

2009-05-11T05:25:00.002+02:00

Desire plays a vital role in the initial process as we have just seen from the previous post, but if this is not backed up by faith, desire will just wither and never become anything other than remains just as a daydream. So Maria Duval would want you to strongly affirming to yourself that "I believe I can, therefore I can".

In other words, if you believe in your desire you are already half way there to accomplishing it - and it's a very simple concept, as it is all boils down to your personal confidence in yourself in pulling the desire off.

Maria Duval says if you want to develop a burning faith, you must start to act as if you have already gained that object or the situation. To assist you, you can use the incredible psychological power of repeated phrases and effective visualisation techniques to "firm" your desires in your mind.

If you fill your mind each day with right words and images you will attract various opportunities relating to your desire. If you long fo money, keep repeating to yourself assuredly that money is my friend and that you want to acquire a bit more each day until you have accumulated a good amount for your own benefits and for the others. Visualise it getting more and more each day.

If you do this, you will develop an increasing amount of faith and confidence. Strengthen your conviction daily until you believe so whole-heartedly in your desire that your thoughts are completely focused in this direction, make it possible to fulfil it.

Maria Duval Prosperity Rule No.5

2009-05-07T09:15:00.003+02:00

Maria Duval, the clairvoyant psychic, says that the first 4 Prosperity Rules will be practically useless unless there is a right application of them together with the 5th Prosperity Rule which talks something about DESIRE.

Desire is a very basic concept and it is the "ignition key" which you can crank on and power up your mental system. Desire mobilises your subconscious energies that will drive you there. Just pause and think for a while. What your life will be like if you never feel like you long for anything!? That would be like a living vegetable lying around in a house wasting time deprived of life's finer sides.

How can you expect to reach a destination if you have no will to get there? Yes, Maria Duval believes that life is governed by desires, which fall into two broad categories.

First category contains the short term desires that are linked to the satisfaction of immediate individual needs. This is the biggest category, for example, the desire to eat or sleep or travel. The second category of desires are less in number but greater in importance as they are more long term in nature and closely related to personal evolution, like fame, fortunes, success, love, health, wellness, peace, money, wealth and comfort.

Lastly, like a strong beam of focused light when sun ray is captured by a mag glass, your energies will be focused in a single direction and desire so powerful that it will crush any resistance along the way.

Maria Duval Prosperity Rule No.4

2009-05-06T05:41:00.002+02:00

Prosperity Rule no.4 is linked to the immutable law of sacrifice:

"Give and you shall receive".

This universal principle of wealth and prosperity is unanimously acknowledge by all philosophies, all religions and all the holy writings from all over the world, including the Bible, Quran, Buddhist script, Tibetan writings and many others. Wise men from the past all knew about this law when it comes to wealth and prosperity, and the mystics called it the "Law of AMRA".

Many people have forgotten about this immutable principle in which you must pay a bit of "tithe" so that the Cosmos can return to favour you more. This donation may take the form of some altruistic service or some favour which benefits someone, or several people if the benefits in question cannot be physically restored.

You could perhaps save a bit of money out of your monthly paycheck to give to some charitable causes or some humanitarian organisations as a way to help fellow human beings who are more needy or in some form of distress.

Maria Duval warns however that this charitable cause must be actioned freely without any sense of remorse or holding back. In fact you should be very happy when you donated to the charitable causes as you have just activated the "Law of AMRA" yourself in your life.

If you have been living in luxury for a long time it could be very wise to start giving back to the society if you have not done so because there is karma at work and one day you might find the roles being reversed due to your selfish actions in the past.

So from now on, remember to gift generously before you approach the cosmos so that you can immeidately tap into the powerful creative forces of the Universe that can help your initiatives to succeed.

Maria Duval Prosperity Rule No.3

2009-05-05T03:11:00.002+02:00

Maria Duval's Properity Rule No.3 will enable you to activate wealth energy and it is intimately linked with your EMOTIONS.

Don't we agree that emotions are the driving force behind expansion and progress in our world? Emotion is the primordial force that results in great civilisations throughout the history of mankind.

However, just like thoughts, emotions must be carefully channelled and contained. People who have volatile emotions are just not efficient. They have allowed their emotions to gain control of their lives and initiatives. Maria Duval believes this often results in precious positive energies being wasted and scatttered all over the places and even worse still, end up like a living dead, with life energy totally drained off.

People who have taken control of their emotions however have a very powerful personality, precise ideas and sharp decision making process. They are the real "go getters", as you probably know someone you have come across, achieving respected success in whatever tasks they embark on.

Maria Duval states clearly that "emotions is a purpose which does not really have anything to do with purely intellectual functions". Emotions is amazing. If you can adjust your positive emotions with the powers of your mind and focus them on a single objective, you will be drawn towards your objective just like a magnet to an bar of iron.

So, the good advice to people is that do not restrict this natural function of your being, try to bring out its power as emotions can help you to sail much more faster towards your destinations you have targeted in your life.

Maria Duval gives a simple and good suggestions to master your emotions and this is to practise meditation which enables you to process it or orientate it in a way that suits your purpose.

You can also try out music as it is known to be an emotional stimulant to fulfil your desires as music has the great power to rouse, soothe or bring out the inner creative potential. It is therefore important that to use music to bring out our emotional best,we got to choose the right kind of music for this purpose.

To conclude, remember that if you can cultivate within you a dominating, motivating, constructive emotions to the point of obssession, this will propel you towards the pinnacles of success, glory and prosperity.

Maria Duval Prosperity Rule No. 2

2009-04-30T08:17:00.006+02:00

In this rule, Maria Duval says we need to clearly define the goal you are aiming for and then to stick at it, whatever happens, until you have achieved it.

Of course, we want to be rich, but have you really thought about what form it will take? How do you visualise it? Do you want material goods? Do you want cash? Just how much do you want in your account? There has to be a very clear definition about what you want before the Universe can give you what you want.

At this point you must be wondering with such a simple rule, why is it that so few people are successful in life, or what the rewards that they richly deserve to have?

According to a survey of one hundred people interviewed in this subject, only six of them really knew what they want in life. The rest were content to be thrown around by events, just like a ship sailing in the sea without direction. In this case, Maria Duval does not think you can even find a rudderless ship, as all ships have clear destinations of where they want to sail to, the goal.

But do be cautious as we cannot steer a ship into several ports at one time. Hence proceed step by step, pursuing on goal at a time, and go on to the next one when it has been achieved. For your dream to be realised, it has to be ambitious yet be feasible.

Once you have set an objective, stick to it like a leech and do not let fear and worries taking it away from you. To strength you in this area, Maria Duval suggests defining peronsal affirmation statement and practising creative visualisation.

Your subconscious is a powerful tool and it must be a slave that is under your control rather than it controlling you. Force it to obey you by repeating as many times of affirmation daily as possible. Say it out loud, sing it out, or write it down on papers. In this way, it will really shorten the time it takes for things to materialise in the physical world.

Maria Duval - Prosperity Rule No. 1

2009-04-29T09:01:00.003+02:00

The first thing you need to understand is that all the elements of prosperity are to be found only in YOU. So it's entirely up to you to "show" them out from you to your own benefits.

Your own thoughts, if they are sensibly oriented and in harmony with the creative law of the Universe, can really promote success and help you to gain everything you want out of life.

May you have noticed - it is always people who are full of vitality and positivity who achieved the most brilliant success. They have all a forceful personality generated and supported by the phenomenal power of their mind from which they manage to draw maximum strength.

What ohers have accomplished, you too, can accomplish. Your own personal circumstances are nothing but the fruit of your "thought seeds" planted in the garden of your past life.

All those who have become rich have done so because they firmly believed in the beneficial power of their positive thinking. And herein lies the first of our great secrets of catching and keeping wealth, glory and success

WITH MARIA DUVAL THROUGH TIME AND SPACE

2009-04-09T03:09:00.001+02:00

Maria Duval has always seen what others do not see, because she acts as a “medium” between the spirit world and man.

At the boarding school where she studied, she was locked in her room because she “had premonitions”, which set her apart from her friends; her husband ended their marriage, tired of these messages received from the “other side”. Maria Duval now lives in secrecy in her beloved Provence, close to Nice, but her bags are always packed to go off on her travels around the world.

Financiers and Stock Exchange brokers, famous actors (many come to Maria when they need to select a script, a part, or even a specific look) and a small crowd of ordinary people flock to her every day, because everyone wants their share of luck.

In fact, for a decade now, Maria Duval is an advisor to some of the largest French banks and also many major service companies that regularly send her photos and details of persons being considered for recruitment; Maria Duval’s predictions about the character of each candidate are always proven to be accurate.

But despite all the toing and froing of people coming to visit her, Maria Duval always finds time to write, whether by day or by night, perhaps precisely because she is “guided” to do it.

Books on food and diet , studied according to the different signs of the Zodiac", in which many common points are identified and many very surprising lifestyle rules are suggested, for achieving good health.

Books on astrology and health also offering innovative solutions, the result of ancient knowledge, handed down from generation to generation, and which reached their peak in the teachings of her maternal uncle, the priest Guido Vassalli, an advocate of esotericism and ancient traditions.

Books on sex including a sort of modern Karma Sutra, which she has just written and which has not yet been published.

And still more books, such as her famous “How to become a clairvoyant”, from which you can learn how to gain insight into your own future, and perhaps that of others too.

THE ART OF FENG SHUI FOR BETTER LIVING

2008-09-24T13:54:00.002+02:00

THE ART OF FENG SHUI FOR A BETTER LIVING

Every single thing in the Cosmos « vibrates » and emits waves: minerals, plants, animals, human beings, absolutely everything!

Intrinsically linked to life, this phenomenon is universal and is as true of an atom as it is of a planet.

The same is true of the environment and the places where we live; houses, for example, constantly emit either positive or negative waves…

These waves are invisible to the majority of people, with the exception of those with the gift of clairvoyance. Sometimes we « feel » them, without understanding what it is that we are feeling.

You will doubtless have experienced the sensation of entering a place, house or building, etc. and feeling “ill at ease”. The place is cold, inhospitable, or maybe you just can’t put your finger on what it is that is making you feel uncomfortable.

Perhaps you looked around, trying to work out what it is that is wrong, but found nothing identifiable. Perhaps you tried to rationalise it, but the only thing you knew for sure was that you didn’t like the place and you didn’t want to hang around there…And you left, without ever knowing the reason for your feelings.

It is extremely likely that you what you were experiencing were the “negative waves” that place gave off.

The waves emitted by a building can be positive and good: in fact they have a significant influence on our mood, health and even our luck and success!

That’s why it’s so important for the energy of our home to be in harmony with our personal vibrations.

In fact, if the vibrations of a person’s home conflict with their own personal vibrations, it can throw their whole life off track. The waves of luck, love and money will not be able to “communicate” with that person because the waves of their home will block them out.

Serious scientific studies have been carried out on the numerous amazing cases, proving the harmful influence of certain waves on our daily life.

There are many accounts of experiences of this type:

- "Since we moved to a new flat we can no longer sleep…"

- "We were so happy to move into our new house, but since we bought it my husband has lost his job, we are arguing constantly and our son is bedwetting again…"

- "Just after we moved house, I started to suffer from repeated bouts of nervous depression. But then, when we went on holiday, all my health problems disappeared as if by magic, only to reappear a few days after we got back…"

We hear about misfortunes such as these more and more often. Why is this?

Because over the course of centuries, mankind has simply forgotten that in order to attain fulfilment and prosperity, we must respect the three crucial envelopes that protect the "vibration of Life".

The first of the three protective envelopes of Life is our body, which we should fuel with healthy food. It is a shame that increasingly these days people worry less about where their food comes from and more about how much it costs… to the detriment of quality.

The second protective envelope is our clothing, which should always be made of natural fabrics such as wool, cotton or linen. Synthetic products are often actually the cause of problems we never get to the bottom of and make our bodies ill in what basically constitutes a prison of static electricity.

It’s true that in today’s world where everything has to work quickly, synthetics are quicker to dry, easier to iron (or need no ironing at all) and most importantly cost less.

The third protective envelope, the one which has been forgotten over the course of centuries and long neglected, and which is however the basis of our equilibrium, our health, our development (and even our destiny) is our environment and, more particularly, the place where we live.

Where are our houses built these days? What materials are used in their construction? How are they furnished?

By analysing these different points, we can glimpse the key to many of our problems, which seemed until now to have no solution.

May thousands of years ago, our ancestors knew about the principles of life that favoured a happy destiny:

- when constructing their buildings, the ancient Chinese, carefully avoided certain places and lines that they called “Dragon Veins".

- The Romans, before building a town, let a flock of sheep grave there first, for a whole year, before then performing an autopsy on them. Depending on the results, they decided whether or not to build on that site.

- The Celts and the Druids also understood the secrets of nature and knew how to distinguish good places from evil places, and cathedrals have been built on many of their sacred sites. Acute sensitivity to subtle energies enabled them to perceive and pick up the strong points of the terrestrial magnetic network (I will come back to this point in a moment…).

The Ancients respected the importance of terrestrial influences on habitat. When they were choosing where to build their home they considered not only its exposure to bad weather and the risk of attack from their enemies but also what they called the "vitality of places”, in other words the specific energy that certain places emit.

These notions of “positive” (good) or “negative” (bad) waves were also applied in numerous civilizations. For example, the dolmens or even the famous Kheops pyramids are built on sites that are energetically pure and positive.

In the 11th century, builders of cathedrals were also aware of the importance of the energy of the site. This is why all churches are orientated in perfect cosmic-telluric harmony. Up until the 17th century, houses were constructed according to strict rules guaranteeing perfect harmony with "the Spirit of places".

Unfortunately, this custom has now been lost, and these days houses are built without any regard for the harmonisation of energies. The location of constructions is determined by purely commercial and practical criteria: the price of land, proximity of transport systems, etc.

What exactly are these “bad” waves?

Geobiology makes some interesting observations on this point. This term comes from "geo", denoting earth and "bio", denoting life: Geobiology is the study of the influence of the "earth energies" on life in general.

The earth is, in fact, a living being, and not an amalgam of disparate, immobile and lifeless elements. It has its own vibration, breathing and subtle movements.

Geobiology is a new science for the contemporary world although actually it was known in ancient China, particularly by the Tibetans, who studied it to very high levels. It was even the object of an initiation transmitted by the spiritual Masters.

This discipline currently groups together several sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology and geophysics. It is directly linked to architecture and construction.

For the most part, these "earth energies" concern telluric magnetism: the earth is divided up by lines and meridians of electromagnetic energies that have a powerful impact on life on earth.
Scientists have proven that this invisible energy passes through all matter, affecting humans, animals or plants either positively or negatively.

By studying electromagnetic forces we can explain harmful waves forces by using a principle of equilibrium. Fundamentally we have to realise that we live in the balance of two forces:

- telluric forces that spring up from the centre of the Earth.
- cosmic forces, from the cosmos, that balance them.

The human being is an electro-magnetic creature. Every single cell of our body is itself a tiny electrical system. The aura of a person, photographable and measurable, is the representation of this.

The body actually works like a battery. Every cell must be linked to energy rising from the Earth – the negative pole – and the one descending from the cosmos – the positive pole.

The cells of the body live and develop in the equilibrium of that cosmic-telluric duality, but various elements can break this equilibrium.

Some people are "disconnected" by the stress generated by harmful waves; the energy no longer reaches all the cells and the weakest parts deteriorate. Toxins and dead cells are not eliminated, and disease can set in.

In the longer term, all sorts of problems arise: psychological, relational, financial as well as “inexplicable” bad luck…

Where do these harmful waves come from ?

These harmful energies, that disturb the cosmic-telluric equilibrium essential for a healthy and prosperous life come from thee main sources: the waves emitted by the subsoil, the ones emitted by buildings and houses and finally the waves emitted by our immediate environment.

1 – Waves emitted by the sub-soil

The earth has a magnetic field that behaves as if it had a huge magnet in its centre. The rotation of the planet on its own axis emits electrical currents in the metals in fusion that form its core and this produces a magnetic field.

Man’s evolution has taken place against the background of this magnetic field. It’s used to its presence. The birds use it to guide themselves when they migrate and whales use it for direction when they travel long distances.

This magnetic field is constantly undergoing tiny variations caused by various different things – for example they increase in storms or during solar eruptions – but this does not have any negative impact on human beings.

The damaging effects are seen when the terrestrial magnetic field is disturbed, either naturally or artificially, and the background field that we are normally subject to is modified.

Natural disturbances are due mostly to the presence in the subsoil of geological faults, mineral deposits, pockets of gas, subterranean caverns or galleries (even when closed off) and subterranean water, particularly underground streams.

It is highly inadvisable to live in buildings or houses located close to these types of elements.

The negative aspects of water are specifically linked to subterranean water – for example a well located below a house. Indeed water has a certain “devitalising” effect on people who sleep above it.

Additionally, subterranean waters pick up information from the land they run through, whether this is mineral strata or polluted areas. Water charged in this way can carry “memories” of illness and threaten the health of people living above its course.

This is why houses built up until the 19th century were rarely sited on water courses. Water diviners were used before any building was erected. The Chinese say that you shouldn’t "sleep on the Dragon’s veins", these "veins" being the subterranean water courses or channels.

The history of a house and the land on which it is built should also be taken into account. Finding out the past of a place is important. Negative waves can be felt in places where tragic events have taken place.

For example, battlefields, places where murders have been committed, sites where the dead have been buried or that have been used to store toxic products can be very harmful… and may even mean make a house uninhabitable!

If a house or a building is built on the site of an ancient cemetery, the ground will be charged with the memory of the diseases that struck those who lie buried there. For all time and in all religions, places used to bury the dead have been permanently excluded from the land used for building houses for the living.

The same principle applies for waste dumps. There are many waste dumps around towns. All the rubbish generated by our consumer society has to go somewhere.

Whenever possible, former mines or sand quarries are filled with waste, then levelled off and used as land for building!

The "information" carried by the telluric waves or water courses that run through them can cause all sorts of problems to appear (illnesses, aggression, persistent bad luck, etc.).

Artificial disturbances of the terrestrial magnetic field are man-made.

This is particularly the case with mining (galleries running for several kilometres around a mine shaft), but also very deep foundations excavated for tall buildings, underground transport infrastructures (tube lines, underground car parks, etc.) and public services (sewers, water, gas and electricity distribution networks). All these things can generate harmful waves.

The earth is also crossed with "radiations" which in geobiology are called "telluric networks", that can sometimes disturb vibratory harmony.

Two types of network are given particular importance in geobiology:

1 – The "HARTMANN" network, named after the person who discovered it, consists in a natural grid of electrically charged lines. These lines, which follow the cardinal points exactly, take the form of invisible walls without any physical form.

The lines of this grid measure two metres from north to south and two metres fifty from east to west, and the thickness of the lines forming the grid measure 21 centimetres under normal conditions.

The Hartmann network covers the whole planet, and its telluric radiation constitutes natural radioactivity that seems to go up to the sun, like invisible walls, 21 centimetres thick, that reach great heights, since they can be recorded at the summit of the highest known buildings.

These lines are alternately positive and negative, in such a way that were they cross there is either a double negative or a double positive charge or a charge of each polarity.

There is a neutral, balanced zone at the centre of the grid. On the other hand, at the intersections of the lines, “knots” form where the “vital wave” is reduced.
Measuring instruments indicate that the value there drops to +1, whereas inside the squares the neutral zone has a “vital wave” of +5.

What does this all mean?

This means that the zones where these knots are located are harmful for the health because they have a “devitalising” effect; the vibrations there are extremely low.

For example, a "Hartmann knot" located at the head of a bed may be the cause of headaches, insomnia and in the long term, more serious problems. If the telluric knot is at the height of the stomach can cause digestion problems… and so on.

2 – The diagonal or "CURRY" network: this is set diagonally (north-west/south-east and north-east/south-west) in difference to the "Hartmann" network. Its characteristics are ostensibly the same, except that the lines of this diagonal grid may be three to seven metres across.

The intersections of these lines also constitute harmful places for inhabitants and numerous living organisms. The juxtaposition of a "Hartmann" network intersection and a “Curry” network intersection may be excessively harmful: the energetic imbalance between the cosmic and telluric waves accumulates to the point where it almost “sucks” the vital energy.

Certain experiments performed in the laboratory by Doctor Hartmann clearly demonstrate the problem of energetic imbalance. They were carried out on 14000 white mice over a twelve-year period and consisted in placing mice of the same breed, age and weight in a specific place, some in a neural zone and the others within a telluric intersection.

The mice placed in a neutral zone behaved very calmly for the entire duration of the experiment, maintaining a healthy coat of fur and a reproduction rate that was 30% higher than in the group located on the telluric intersection.

The others were constantly agitated and sought refuge in the corners closer to the neutral zones. During the autopsy, after 40 days of experimentation, many of these mice were found to be suffering from tumours.

In human beings, similar phenomena of ill health, even chronic disease can be detected. This very often coincides with unfavourable locations of beds, chairs and desks etc., which are not situated in the neutral zone.

Babies and very young children instinctively “sense” a disturbed zone. If every morning you find your child at the other end of the bed, or the other way round, this will certainly be because there is a harmful spot that they are trying to escape.

Adults have generally lost this type of “special sensitivity”. Overly artificial living conditions have severed their instinct; they almost never listen to their intuition: they use their reason!

If you have pets, it’s interesting to note where they choose to lie down. Does your cat like to sleep on a telluric intersection? That’s the spot he prefers! Your dog on the other hand may prefer a more neutral zone. Ants, wasps and beetles prefer to live in the vicinity of telluric intersections because the effect on them is more positive.

Plants, like animals, do not all react in the same way to telluric radiation. For example, roses, azaleas, privet and celery tend to wilt in areas where there is a telluric intersection, while asparagus, mushrooms, oak trees and elder trees grow faster and more vigorously.

It sometimes happens that a plant fails to thrive, despite all the conditions necessary for its growth being in place, yet when you transplant it to an apparently similar spot, it starts to grow and flourish.

Trees sometimes have a knotty, twisty trunk, or lean to one side or the other, even if this is not the direction of the sun or the prevailing wind. In some case, they even refuse grow, and wither whereas nearby other trees thrive. Fruit trees may flower but not give fruit. All these symptoms are due to telluric “stress”.

In some spots, jam goes mouldy and wine goes off more quickly: this is an example of how the micro-organisms that spoil food proliferate in the presence of ‘bad’ telluric energies.

When we are depressed, tired, ill or worried, we tend to settle in places marked by lower vibratory levels – in harmony with our own vibrations, when the opposite would be better for us, and would allow us to get our energy back up. This becomes a vicious circle, we “sink” deeper, and problems of all sorts become our daily norm…

The consequences of negative waves may be avoided if we have the chance to choose where we build our home, and respect certain ecological principles: when this is the case the energy of our home is far more likely to be naturally in harmony with the vibrations of the person who is going to live there.

This is seldom the case for houses that have already been built. Increasingly, the choice we have of living space is mostly conditioned by “comfort” criteria that have nothing to do with the house itself: geographical location, closeness to the workplace, transport, schools, shops, the frequency with which we travel, travel costs, etc.

2 – Waves emitted by the place where we live

The inhabitant is, in a way, the “animator” of the place where he or she lives. Personal energy is linked to the energies manifest in the land (subsoil) and by the shape of the building and the materials used to build it.

Human beings, like everything else in the cosmos, emit vibrations (of joy, love, anger, fear, sadness, etc.). A building is capable of "recording" the vibrations emitted by the people who live in it.

Every building has its own waves, and it can also play the above “recordings” back, even to the extent of causing certain behaviours: there are houses that induce divorce, depression, or that seem to justify the negative behaviours of their inhabitants. There are also houses of joy, happiness and prosperity.

The materials used to build the house have an effect on well-being and luck. They can protect the people who live in a house from the negative waves they may be subject to, or to the contrary, they can aggravate the consequences.

So the use of certain materials is beneficial:

Stone, a natural material, is a highly efficient thermal accumulator. The foundations of a house built of stone amplify the positive cosmic and telluric influences and transmit them to anybody who lives there.

Clay is also an excellent construction material, found in the form of bricks, both hollow and solid, as well as in the manufacture of tiles and paving.

Wood is certainly an excellent biological material. It regulates humidity, rejects static electricity, protects against radioactivity and serves as acoustic insulation. It is in harmony with cosmic radiation.

On the contrary, concrete, very widely used in modern building, has some disadvantages. Specifically, reinforced concrete flooring strengthens the intensity of the harmfulness of Hartmann and Curry network radiation.

Concrete also emits a radiation secondary to micro-waves, which is very harmful. Finally, reinforced concrete frameworks, which serve as electro-telluric conductors, develop intense magnetic fields that are bad for the health. Additionally, if metallic girders are used, these should always be placed pointing from North to South.

In so far as concerns insulation, it is best to use natural products such as mineral wools, cork or coconut fibres. Wall and floor coverings should be made of natural materials, such as jute and carpets and rugs should preferably be made of wool, cord or cotton.

The shape of the house also has an impact on the life inside. Biological architecture requires all the radiation, magnetic fields and waves of our environment (infra-red rays, micro-waves, electromagnetic fields) be able to touch human beings without having any harmful effects on them.

All bodies, objects and three-dimensional figures emit energy waves that are proper to their specific form: these are called "form waves". Buildings and constructions also generate “form waves” that affect the person living in them.

These energetic vibrations have the ability to pass from one material to another. Some are good for people and others are harmful. So, when two houses are next to each other, very close together, their energetic fields (their “auras”) become combined forming one single positive energetic dimension.

This is a phenomenon that can also occur between two people. When communication is very good the current is said to “pass” from one to the other. If, on the other hand, communication is poor, the bubbles of energy withdraw, originating feelings of embarrassment and discomfort.

The same is true of houses, buildings and other architectural structures. Some buildings, due to their shape, seem to want to encroach upon their neighbours and, in fact, they do generate tensions in the immediate vicinity, although most of the time we are not really aware of what is causing the problem.

Houses have a form, all forms having their source in 4 original shapes: The four basic forms used in architecture give us domes, cones, pyramids, cubes and parallelepipeds, columns, stairways, doorways and windows.

In so far as rooms are concerned, some shapes attract while others seem to repel, generating a generalised feeling of discomfort.

Round forms, and to a lesser extent square forms, are positive and healthy for people. Pointed forms and all shapes with acute angles emit harmful vibrations called "electric negative green". This is why some buildings shaped in the form of an inverse pyramid may be a source of ill-ease not only for the people who live and work there, but also for people living in the immediate vicinity.

Experts in geobiology have often noted the extremely negative influence of the roofs of some houses, particularly modern houses. Architects are obviously not lacking in imagination, since they seek to discover bizarre forms that have nothing natural about them.

Harmonious proportions, measured according to the famous “Golden Ratio” on which our predecessors placed so much importance, now seem to have been relegated to the memory, along with other things deemed obsolete.

The physical aspect of the roof can prevent a house from being able to fulfil its purpose efficiently. Some roofs crease a form wave that is damaging for the well-being of the people who live in it. For example, a terrace cut into a room will produce negative waves.

Here is another example that illustrates perfectly the power and efficiency of forms used in combination with a knowledge of their potential and the variety of uses of form waves. Let me tell you what happened.

Over the course of the summer of 1929, a new road was opened between Brême and Bremerhaven (Germany). One year later, more than one hundred accidents had occurred on that road. All the accidents happened in the same place, at kilometre 239, which was a straight stretch of road presenting no apparent danger.

When interviewed by the police, survivors stated that they had felt a great “excitement” at the moment when their car reached that point in the road, and felt a “force” which impelled them to swerve towards the side. Accidents continued to happen at this fateful spot and the police remained perplexed as to the cause of the phenomenon…

Carl Wehrs, a local water dowser suggested that the mysterious force was nothing more than a powerful magnetic field creased by a telluric current. To prove his theory, he went to the site with a divining rod in his hand. When he got near to kilometre 239 the rod flew out of his hands. As if an invisible force had taken hold of it, it was flung across to the other side of the road, while the dowser himself was spun around!

Wehrs applied his own solution to the problem. He buried a copper box filled with little star-shaped copper pieces, right at the start of the kilometre. Three weeks later, the box was still in place and there hadn’t been any more accidents. Then the box was taken away and the three next cars that passed crashed. The box was replaced again, and now kilometre 239 is no longer an accident black spot.

Apart from the shape of a house and the materials used to built it, some objects in the domestic environment also emit waves that can be good or bad, particularly computers, televisions, radio alarm clocks, microwave ovens and burglar alarms.

These devices increase what is called “electromagnetic pollution”. Scientists have acknowledged that this type of pollution (electromagnetic radiation) has a negative effect on the nervous and cardio-vascular systems. It is all the more dangerous for being invisible, colourless and odourless, but far from harmless. Depending on your personal sensitivity, this may translate into various disorders including insomnia, persistent tiredness, aggressiveness and depression.

How can the waves these devices give off affect us? The human body actually acts as an antenna. Contrary to what you might think, it’s not only metallic objects that work as antenna, i.e. as wave collectors. All our organs function as antenna, which means that they absorb greater or lesser amounts of electromagnetic radiation.

For example, the cathodic tube of a television emits a small amount of “X” rays, which become harmful when you spend 3 to 4 hours a day in front of it.

The problem is that many televisions are on at the same time and the waves emitted by a cathodic tube can be picked up for up to five kilometres (military experiments have shown this). Additionally, each television is equipped with a very high-voltage box usually located inside the set: this condenser – which remains charged for 5 to 6 hours after the TV is switched off – emits harmful waves.

On a British television programmes called "Tomorrow’s World” an experiment was carried out that consisted in sticking a large nugget of gold onto the screen of a television and leaving the set switched on for two years. Then, live on national television, they analysed the gold nugget, and it was found that the gold had been transformed into lead!

The radiation of computer screens is also harmful. The many studies that have been carried out have proven that these screens can cause migraines, eye fatigue, irritability leading to arguments…even miscarriages!

Moreover, depending on the layout of the room, people who do not use computers may be exposed to even higher levels of radiation than those who do because many screens emit more radiation from the sides and back than from the front.

Burglar alarms, like microwave ovens, use the “Dopler effect” (named after the physicist who discovered it). These devices work in a similar way to aviation or marine equipment, only smaller. Their wave length is long, elliptical in shape, with a range of 500 to 600 kilometres depending on how powerful the model is. They are freely available but no-one mentions the real danger they present.

Microwave ovens use very high hertzien frequencies, and are therefore very dangerous. There are thermal effects (burns) but also non-thermal effects, and these are the most insidious. Some companies also sell these ovens with a detector for identifying leaks, recommending regular checks and specifying that these leaks may be dangerous for the health!

To a lesser degree, other electrical and electronic equipment contributes to increasing the electromagnetic pollution of a house: electric ovens, refrigerators, kitchen fans, dishwashers, washing machines, griddles and grills, toasters, vacuum cleaners, food processors of all sorts, etc.

3 – Waves emitted by the environment

Waves emitted by the environment act on the cosmic-telluric currents and are also capable of disturbing the energetic equilibrium of individuals.

The most obvious example is the distribution of electricity current by “high voltage” power cables. This generates significant electromagnetic pollution, and all geobiologists know that proximity to very high voltage cables is extremely bad for your health.

These cables carry powers of between 50000 to 200000 volts, with international lines carrying up to 500000 volts. Major towns are surrounded by “forests” electricity pylons, and some towns are totally under these lines.

So what are the risks of living in the area of influence of a high-voltage power cable? Living beings, not only humans, become aggressive, then depressive. They have problems sleeping and suffer from tiredness, the signs of progressive degeneration.

Studies have revealed, among other things, endocrinal system dysfunction, a clear weakening of the immune system and the appearance of cardio-vascular problems.

Further studies have also been carried out on farms where cattle are reared located closed to high-voltage power lines. It was noted that milk cows were more likely to develop sterility problems, calves suffered inflammations of the intestines and serious diarrhoea, while cattle being fattened displayed lower growth rates than normal.

Pigs being fattened displayed aggressive behaviour, even resorting to cannibalism! Poultry and game (pheasants, chickens, etc.) behaved aggressively and harmed themselves. The egg production of laying hens was reduced.

German and Russian researchers carried out tests on bees placed under a high-voltage power line. These bees stopped producing honey and became overexcited. They could not stay still, displayed signs of nervousness and aggression and finally died.

On the same scale of noxiousness, we should also mention nuclear power stations, civil and military radar plants – and even radio and television transmitters!

Here is an enlightening anecdote on this subject. The French physicist and biologist Georges Lakhowsky was one of the first to carry out research into the relationship between waves and vital phenomena. He proved that cosmic-telluric phenomena had an influence, whether good or bad, on life.

One day, at Paterna, near Valencia in Spain, he witnessed a phenomenon that was hugely important for his work. Carrier pigeons were released, but the birds went round in circles in the air, unable to orientate themselves.

A short distance away there was a radio-telegraphic station that was transmitting. The disorientation of the pigeons ceased when the station stopped transmitting. The experiment was repeated several times with the same result.

Additionally, if you incorporate certain rules of Tibetan Feng Shui into your domestic environment, you will be able to significantly reduce the “form waves” generated by it.

The bedroom :

- Ideally, place your emitter to the west of your bedroom, where the energy given off is more stable and relaxing. However, this is not always possible.

- Avoid floor coverings made of synthetic materials, as they produce an accumulation of electrostatic charges (positive ions) that favour tension and irritability. Choose instead wooden flooring and carpets or rungs in natural fibres.

- Ban television sets from the bedroom; their radiation is extremely harmful.

- Avoid and ban from your bedside: telephone, electrical alarm clock or radio-alarm clock, metal bedside lamps, neon lights.

- Do not use furniture that fits in the corners of walls, to avoid creating bad form waves.

- As far as possible, position your bed facing from North to South, leaving a ten-centimetre space between the head of the bed and the wall.

- Choose a mattress made of horse-hair, wool or latex over a sprung mattress. Avoid foam mattresses that retain static electricity and do not allow the body to breathe. Use pillows, duvets and quilts filled with down or feather, and bed linen in natural fibres.

- Go to bed with positive thoughts and leave your problems or worries at the foot of your bed (or in the bathroom).

"L" shaped rooms :

Most rooms are rectangular (or square) but sometimes you get “L” shaped rooms that have corners and nooks. These throw the “life energy” off balance, producing harmful form waves. The remedy consists in making the room seem equally proportioned by placing a mirror along the narrow part of the room, thereby creating the illusion of a larger room.

Corners :

Life energy tends to stagnate in dark corners. The remedy consists in “accelerating” this energy by using green plants, smooth shiny surfaces or spotlights. Plants with pointed leaves are particularly efficient, although other solutions include a mirror, a glass placed in the corner, a spotlight that adds its luminous energy.

Mess :

All mess slows down the circulation of positive energy and significantly increases the risk of stagnation. You will notice that wherever there is mess, you will find it difficult to concentrate. The simplest way to resolve the problem is to keep your home clear and tidy.

Furniture :

As a general rule, you should only have the necessary furniture in your home. “Life energy” (called Chi in Feng Shui) requires space to circulate freely.

For example, the sitting room, which is often the largest room in size (together with the dining room) and the centre of familial and relational life should not be overly encumbered with things – furniture or decorative items. The middle of the room should be empty.

The ideal layout of the sitting from is south-east, south-west and west from the centre of the building. Any of these layouts will enable the creation of an atmosphere that is favourable for the harmony of your family and the success of your social life. Remember that you should never put chairs behind windows or doors.

To conclude this chapter, I am going to give your some Feng Shui techniques the efficiency of which has never been denied. They will allow you to benefit from the positive waves of cosmic-telluric magnetism.

Walks

In many forests or mountainous regions there are positive areas where the cosmic-telluric energy radiates off the vast surfaces. All you need to do to benefit from this energy is walk though them and your body will recharge its energy (like recharging a car battery).

Depending on the power of the “life wave” of the place, one to two hours walking should be enough to regenerate you and leave you calm and relaxed.

When you are on one of these walks, my advice is to ask to your mind to channel these revitalising waves the right way:

- Remember that between the cosmic forces, coming from the cosmos and the telluric forces springing up from the centre of the earth, regenerating alchemy is at work, and you are its fortunate beneficiary.

- Think how, according to the law of the microcosm and the macrocosm, Man is a miniature universe and the infinitely small is governed by the same principles as the infinitely large.

- Learn (or rediscover) how to "look at" a flower, a tree, to smell and distinguish their subtle perfumes, enjoy the melodious sounds of the birds and the streams, etc.

The subtle energy of air

The air contains a subtle substance that the Indian Master Yogis called "prana" and occultists called the "force". This subtle energy that surrounds us can be captured as follows.

We can accumulate this substance through breathing. First we must learn how to breathe in a special way, to capture this vital fluid and absorb it within us.

- Start by breathing out fully two or three times, to expel all the air from the lungs.

- Breathe in through your nose, inflating your stomach, then the middle of the lungs raising your sides and finally the upper part.

- Hold the air in your lungs for a few moments (retention)

- Breathe out slowly, starting by emptying the air by contracting the stomach, then allowing your sides to fall.

- Remain with your lungs empty for a few moments, then breathe in again slowly.

- Carry on breathing in this way for several respiratory cycles. You can incorporate a rhythm to this type of respiration to amplify the positive effects. For example: 3 times (breathing in), 3 times (retention), 6 times (breathing out) and 3 times (lungs empty). Then return to normal breathing.

- Every time your energy dips, practice this regenerating breathing for a few minutes, (preferably somewhere where there are trees, because the air is purer), and you will be amazed with the results!

Rapid recharge methods

The following exercises are to be practiced in the open air, preferably in a natural place.

The first method consists in thinking about the human body as being simultaneously "receptor" and "antenna". The hands and feet serve as antenna and the feet and legs as receptors. This exercise should last around 5 minutes.

- Generate calmness within yourself; think of yourself as the connecting line between the cosmic and telluric forces.

- Stretch out your arms and grasp them behind your head in a reverse "V" shape, with the palms of your hands facing upwards.

- Stretch your legs out slowing in a reverse "V" shape.

- Meditate for a few moments on this relationship between the forces in which you are the centre, the link. While breathing calmly and deeply, imagine the vital flow emanating from the sun and rising up through your feet-receptors and the vital flow descending from the cosmos through your arms-antennae, and propagating through your body.

The second method for benefiting from terrestrial magnetism consists in being in direct contact with the ground, stretched out on a blanket. This is very efficient because it combines relaxation and the recharging of cosmic-telluric energy to create vibratory harmony between you and the place, in order to increase and dynamise all the positive elements.

Equip yourself with a compass, or guide yourself by following the course of the sun in the sky (it rises in the east and sets in the west), and stand, facing northwards, with your back straight.

1- Relax your rib cage; lace your fingers together, palms facing outwards; stretch your arms out in front of you and then link them behind your head, while breathing in deeply; stretch your arms behind you, then relax the tension while breathing out and lowering your arms. Repeat three times.

2- Lie down with your head facing north and your feet facing south. Relax while bringing your attention to the points where your body is touching the ground (back of the head, shoulders, backs, buttocks, legs and heels).

3- While breathing in slowly and deeply, stretch out your whole body with your arms back, parallel on each side of your head. Hold this for a few seconds with your lungs full (retention), then empty them completely breathing out through your mouth, with your lips in the form of an "O", while you bring your arms back along your sides. Repeat three times.

4- Then relax all the muscles in your body, and return to your natural breathing while allowing your body to “flop” on the ground. Stay in this position for a few minutes while you recharge yourself with positive cosmic-telluric energy.

YOUR FORECAST FOR JUNE 2008

SIGN BY SIGN

ARIES

1st decan: 21 au 31/03 * 2nd decan: 1st to 11/04 * 3rd decan: 12 to 20/04

· Love life and relationships

You will be more drawn towards your family life. That doesn’t mean you’ll neglect your friends, but you will be a little more distant. If you have children, one of them will seek you out and demand more of your attention, more of your affection, your time…in a word, your love. With your partner, understanding and complicity will help you to overcome anything. Singletons may be hit by a brief wave of melancholy; the present holding little of interest. This will only be a passing phase, an off-day.

1st decan: Saturn has taken a firm step forward. There’s no reason not to think you really have found the solution to your problems. You’ll now have the means you need to make your dreams take shape.

2nd decan: Mercury retrograde causes problems in your relationship. Take advantage of those quieter times to empty your mind and assess your love life as honestly as possible.

3rd decan: Everything is running smoothly as far as your love life is concerned. The Venus-Mars sextile, in the warmer signs, gives you such a surge of optimism you’ll tend to mistake your dreams for realities. And why not?

· Career/Activities/Finances

You’ll be starting this month of June with a superb trigon, with Mars arriving from the sign of Leo! This planetary constellation is marked by the ’fire’ element, so, you can pretty much take for granted that you’ll be moving up a gear and your motto will be: « If you love me, follow me! ». Some of your endeavours will begin to bear their fruits and this will put the wind in your sails. If you can just taken on new responsibilities, everything will go smoothly. Don’t worry, you’ll naturally find a way to make your presence felt. You’ll live up to the expectations people have of you.

1st decan: If you’ve been hesitating before getting involved in something, the path is now clear once again. Harmony between Saturn: you should have no fear of failure.

2nd decan: Through to the 20th, you’ll have the feeling you’re speaking at cross-purposes, with voices being raised particularly around the 12th. Don’t try pulling the wool over others’ eyes as they won’t be fooled.

3rd decan: You’ll find it hard to resist a desire to get away from it all.
Journeys are favoured, true enough, but the more courageous will see their efforts generously rewarded…a major « plus »!

· Form/Health

The only thing holding you back, is you! Basically, asking you to slow down a little, to think more about yourself, is a waste of breath. For as long as your energy levels can stand it, you’re pounding ahead determinedly. Good for you, but how much longer do you think you can keep this pace up?

1st decan: The Venus-Mars sextile, until the 17th, is inviting you to diagnose those symptoms that keep coming pack (migraine and insomnia) and not to treat them as if they were nothing.

2nd decan: Mercury, retrograde until the 19th, is whispering in your ear that you shouldn’t spread yourself too thin. Focus on specific objectives and you’ll be efficient. Why not work out a plan of attack? Walking, fresh fruit and vegetables, sauna.

3rd decan: On the 18th, Venus enters Cancer, squaring up your decan: you should watch your figure and avoid excess when dining out or with friends. Eat at home as much as possible.

TAURUS

1st decan: 21 to 30/04 * 2nd decan: 1 to 11/05 * 3rd decan: 12 to 20/05

· Love life and relationships

The tensions that Venus will be entertaining through to the end of the month will have their effect on your friendships and love life. You’ll feel a need to renew old relationships, with some of you possibly even rekindling childhood friendships. You’ll have a romantic and sensitive soul. A touch of melancholy may show its face, particularly in the 3rd decan. Those in a couple may find minor misunderstandings put pressure on the atmosphere but without serious consequences. Singletons should be wary of a recent encounter…

1st decan: The arrival of Venus in Cancer on the 19th will warm your heart. Enjoy the pleasant, trouble-free atmosphere. Your children will be clamouring for a little brother or sister…perhaps!

2nd decan: Mercury turns direct on the 20th. You have what’s needed to send out your messages gently, and to be aware of what’s really important to you in your private life.

3rd decan: The Mars-Neptune dissonance will lead to you neglecting your love life. If you’re in a relationship, be cautious. If not, make the most of this time to treat yourself to a new wardrobe; Venus guides and inspires your purchases.

· Career/Activities/Finances

Your finances will be at the centre of your worries this month. But that won’t rein in your optimism or good mood. Now is a good time for sorting out your accounts and settling some bills that have been lingering on and need payment.
Don’t make any investments or transfer any funds this month. The dissonant aspects of Mars and Venus don’t augur well for plans of this type. Be careful on the 14th, 15th and 16th not to lose your papers or forget what you’re doing…you’ll have your mind elsewhere.

1st decan: Stay on your guard, the new Moon of the 3rd will make you feel like spending. Mercury retrograde till the 19th, so expect some disagreements and delays. And keep a grip on yourself because Mars will make you irritable.

2nd decan: The full Moon of the 18th will bring tangible results in line with your expectations. But if you’re not satisfied, you’ll at least have the chance to correct your approach and take the necessary steps.

3rd decan: Until mid-June you won’t have a minute to yourself or a moment to waste. On the other hand, after this period, don’t be stubborn if you can’t keep it up, you won’t be at peak efficiency.

· Form/Health

The force of Mars will put you on edge and make you particularly impatient! You’ll overreact at the slightest provocation as well as being tactless, perhaps even hurtful at times. Keep yourself in check, as you don’t want to make enemies. Handle sharp and pointed objects with care. Watch out for cuts!

1st decan: You’re caught in the crossfire: the square of Mars and that of Neptune. These troublemakers cause heavy tensions and stomach upsets. Jupiter is watching over you and will ultimately calm the storm.

2nd decan: Overpowered by Mars in a bad aspect, you’ll be on less than top form. You’ll be driven to a frenetic pace and you won’t have time to catch your breath. Miracle remedy: love.

3rd decan: The pressure eases of your decan. Venus is sliding towards Cancer, on the 18th, bringing you all its gentleness and calming your nerves. Don’t deny yourself chocolate and bananas - you need the magnesium.

GEMINI

1st decan: 21 to 31/05 * 2nd decan: 1 to 10/06 * 3rd decan: 11 to 21/06

· Love life and relationships

It’s your birthday month and the stars will be smiling on you! The Sun-Mercury-Venus trio are all meeting in your sign: presence, intelligence and seduction will be on your side. Your enthusiasm and sense of fun will allow you to forge ahead. For some of you, your love life may have links with your work. For singletons, it may be at work that you’ll meet your soulmate. On the 3rd and the 4th, then the 11th, 12th and 13th, pay great attention to the way people look at you.

1st decan: New Moon, new momentum: now’s the time to review your emotions and put an end to anything that is no longer relevant, freeing you up to involve yourself in what really matters.

2nd decan: The Sun and Venus are celebrating your taste for the simple and pure. This may give you an opportunity to make an important encounter, in a Zen-like and unexpected way. Keep your mind open!

3rd decan: Through until the 19th, Mercury will be backing away gracefully. You’ll re-orientate yourself in the maze of your desires. From the 20th onwards, take a fresh look at everything. Confrontation can often be positive - don’t fear it.

· Career/Activities/Finances

The Sun-Mars sextile, supported by Mercury, will help you get your personality and skills noticed. This may be the time you’re talents are finally acknowledged and you’ll be on the receiving end of a very interesting proposal, suited to your skills and needs. Consequently, go for it and don’t waver if you don’t want it to pass by right under your nose! In line with your goals, the outcome will be very positive. Watch out, though, that you don’t let too many little secrets slip. There may be some jealousy in the air and you’ll run the risk of disappointment.

1st decan: The new Moon of the 3rd will drive you to get moving. You’ll change your behaviour and reveal a different side of your personality. Are your finances are looking good?... well then, treat yourself.

2nd decan: The Sun and Venus in your decan give you the motivation you need to establish good, useful relations. Your skill and your easy-going ways are an asset when it comes to signing contracts. Success guaranteed!

3rd decan: Through until the 15th, Mercury retrograde is inviting you to look at things in a new way. Reflection on your health makes you change your tactics. Then Mars will give you the green light.

· Form/Health

This month, with the support of the planets, you’ll manage to rediscover your good mood and recharge your batteries! Nothing will dampen your high spirits and you won’t be shy of making an effort. Show some moderation, you know the proverb: « Slow and steady wins the race. »

1st decan: Venus in dissonance with Saturn is no recipe for calm! You’ll suffer from a feeling of melancholy, caused by one pushing you one on and other holding you back. Being caught between the two like this is physically exhausting.

2nd decan: At home, the new Moon of the 3rd allies with the Sun, shedding new light on your gifts and talents. Let your inner artist speak up. It’s good for the soul, and for releasing pent-up tension.

3rd decan: Mercury retrograde through to the 19th. Take a short trip on your own, for some introspection. All you need to do to push the boundaries is separate the good from the bad.

CANCER

1st decan: 22/06 to 1/07 * 2nd decan: 2 to 12/07 * 3rd decan: 13 to 22/07

· Love life and relationships

From the 19th onwards Venus will be paying you a little visit! You’ll feel its influence particularly on the personal level, and will be devoting a lot of time to your private life. You feel as if you have been giving your loved one rather less attention than they deserve and do everything you can to make up for this perceived neglect which in reality wasn’t so bad. For singletons, this astral constellation up there with the best of them. If you’ve been hesitant about committing, you can take the step. Whichever is the case, you’ll be looking at your romantic future in a new, more constructive light.

1st decan: Venus arrives in your decan on the 19th. You’ll see how it can complicate or enrich your life. There’ll be no shortage of opportunities to meet people.

2nd decan: Jupiter, retrograde turns to face your decan. You’ll benefit from its largesse, where on the level of intellectual, or erotic, exchange.

3rd decan: Jupiter and Uranus impel you to take the fore, grasp the initiative in love, or say what you believe to be true.

· Career/Activities/Finances

Over this month, the Sun-Mercury duo will pass through the sign of Gemini. So there’ll be an air of nonchalance blowing through, and it’ll be to your benefit. You’ll be feeling euphoric, and it’s catching! Luckily for all those around you… These configurations will intensify not only your capacities of reflection and analysis, but also open up and facilitate all professional relationships. This will also be an excellent time to take stock of everything you have put in place thus far. On the other hand, however, don’t sign any contracts or close any transactions.

1st decan: You’ll be in an uncommunicative mood right through to the 19th, which won’t stop you from scoring some points in an unexpected situation. Then a complete turnaround: you’ll shine and your revenues will increase.

2nd decan: The withdrawal of Mercury will have an impact on your decan. Suffer in patience; on the 20th, everything will come back in line.

3rd decan: Your upward momentum will win you respect. From the 10th onwards, you’ll become increasingly aware of it. And from the 22nd, the Mars-Pluto aspect will take you to the summit.

· Form/Health

Your nonchalance could lead to you becoming rather reckless. So exercise caution at the wheel and take extra care if you’re handling sharp objects. Also, do you really think you’re going to be able to keep up this crazy pace for the whole year?

1st decan: Mercury, retrograde in Gemini until the 19th, fogs your mind and makes you vulnerable. Your wellbeing will depend on how good or bad your mood is

2nd decan: On the 18th, Venus enters the sign of Cancer and Mercury turns direct. The atmosphere can breathe again and your energy levels gain new élan.

3rd decan:
Mars in Leo charges you with energy and Venus guides you along the path to wisdom. Watch out for that tendency to snack, if you want to fit into your new swimsuit.

LEO

1st decan: 23/07 to 2/08 * 2nd decan: 3 to 12/08 * 3rd decan: 13 to 22/08

· Love life and relationships

The relationship sector should open up significantly. You’ll definitely feel a need to meet new people who will have a specific role to play in your life. And, this could also be the mark of a change in your circle of friends linked to a change of professional environment. But the Sun-Venus-Mars trio will give you the magnetism and easy manner you need to make contact and be accepted without a hitch. Your love life will little by little rediscover its warmth and complicity.

1st decan: Venus is in a mischievous mood, while Mars is doubling your powers of seduction: this combination will make you shine. So, dress to kill and go out on the prowl!

2nd decan: Through to the 18th, you’ll find the daily grind hard to bear; this will mean sparks may fly. But your partner may understand your feelings of stress perfectly… if you tell them about it.

3rd decan: Your burgeoning sensuality will drive you to give free rein to your impulses. Exceptional dynamism supported by Mars. You’ll take pleasure in lavishing all your attention on your loved ones.

· Work/Activities/Finances

Quick and good don’t always make good bedfellows and that’s something you may well come to realise over the course of this month. What impatience! In fact, if you have more responsibility on your shoulders, you absolutely must rethink the way you work and how things should be done from now on. You can’t do everything in one day and time should be your friend. You’ll need to calm the passions of the fluxes of Mars and learn not to rush things. If not, there’ll be no shortage of calls to order…

1st decan: From the 19th onwards, a journey to a distant place will be favoured, as will solitary studies. You’re unsure of yourself, but now would be a good time take stock. Focus on the basics. Balance your accounts and money with a clear head.

2nd decan: Mercury and Jupiter will be causing confusion. Extreme vigilance is needed until the 19th. Aim for clarity on all levels; calculate the consequences of your actions.

3rd decan: From the 10th onwards, don’t go charging in with your head down. Consider the situation, and don’t set out along a risky path. Your spontaneity will go against your interests. Keep your purse strings tightly knotted.

· Form/Health

Nervous and impatient as ever! Everything goes round in your head…Be careful: don’t pull on the cord too hard or it may end up by breaking. Better days will come, relax, treat yourself to a weekend off if you can. A change of air will allow you to find your smile again.

1st decan: Mercury retrograde in Gemini, Pluto hovering…don’t hold out, you need to go on a diet. No more wining and overly rich dining!

2nd decan: On the 20th, Mercury sets off again direct. You’ve always felt that you can move mountains, but watch out for your back!

3rd decan: Mars is still in your sign, and on the 18th, the full moon is in Sagittarius: you’re making yourself stick to an (overly) rigorous sports regime. Perhaps you want to be on top form for a holiday? Be careful just the same…

VIRGO

1st decan: 23/08 to 1/09 * 2nd decan: 2 to 13/09 * 3rd decan: 14 to 22/09

· Love life and relationships

Feeling like getting away from it all? Organising an evening with friends? Go ahead, because you’ll have all the charm needed to keep everybody happy. As far as romance is concerned, you’re senses are awakening, your relationship will be more intense. For those who are single, now’s the time to get your feelings out in the open. The 9th, 10th and 11th should be good, because the Moon will be flirting with your sign, exacerbating all the lunar sensitivity and inspiration.

1st decan: The tone is rising. You need to wait for the arrival of Venus is Cancer, on the 18th, to bring fluidity to your exchanges and allow you to overcome with ease the minor ups and downs of coupledom.

2nd decan: Venus and Mercury will cause communication problems. Don’t fly off the handle, or you’ll soon trigger a power struggle. And you hate that, so soften your words.

3rd decan: Uranus, retrograde, does not augur well. Don’t confuse a love conquest with sporting competition. Be more subtle in your approach and of course, less on the defensive!

· Work/Activities/Finances

The Sun-Mercury duo is looking sidelong at you. Patience won’t be your strength, your reactions will be swift. But Jupiter and Saturn will continue to support you. A little order and method are required. Jupiter may favour progress and expansion, but it’s not really equipped to structure things. So, despite the significant step forward you’ve taken, don’t forget to study the possibilities the future holds carefully, not missing a single detail.

1st decan: You’re having trouble concentrating with all the noise around you. Everyone’s upset and getting worked up over nothing; this irritates you greatly, but you put on an impassive face.

2nd decan: The new Moon of the 3rd brings you a positive result on all levels, such as the project you started in March, for example. You may find yourself fighting ideas that go against your own.

3rd decan: You’re living at a fearsome pace and you have the unpleasant sensation that you’re not getting anywhere. Patience! All the more so, since an unexpected turn of events will work to your benefit.

· Form/Health

Rather stressed out, your emotions are running high: the configurations of Mercury are there for a reason. But there are also all the extreme efforts you’ve been making in recent times, which are starting to produce their rewards. You put your all into it, and now you’re feeling tired. Relax!

1st decan: On the 18th Venus enters Cancer, a friendly sign of yours. All those around you will be calmed, and that will give you a feeling of relief. You need to pay a visit to the « body care » - section, for example, some relaxing massages…

2nd decan: Venus and Mercury are in Gemini: the first cloudy phase of the year, lasting until the 20th. Your highly stressed and only faultless organisation will allow you to breathe.

3rd decan: You’re a little bit peaky. You draw on all your optimism and the strength of Jupiter in Capricorn to support you through this fleeting fatigue and melancholy.

1st decan: 23/09 to 2/10 * 2nd decan: 3 to 13/10 * 3rd decan: 14 to 22/10

· Love life and Relationships

What amazing stars you have this month! Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune are sending you incredible waves. You’ll be held in high esteem, if that was lacking. Your charm and easy manner with others will work wonders. Your powers of persuasion will be so great you’ll have no trouble getting your most original ideas across. The 3rd and the 4th will be excellent days for making contacts and rekindling old friendships. Over these two days you’ll have the benefit of the support of the Moon, making you irresistible.

1st decan: Do you like it when everything’s changing, in flux, turned upside down? Well then you won’t be disappointed, because this month will be more like a rollercoaster than a boring drudge.

2nd decan: Mercury, retrograde, is a source of misunderstandings. You’re blowing a lot of hot air without getting to grips with the core of the issue. If you want to satisfy your desires without sowing the seed of dissatisfaction in your love life, you’ll need to be sharper and more persuasive!

3rd decan: Follow the guide: with Venus in Gemini, then Mars in Leo, you’ll have the wind in your sails. Your dreams may well become a reality. So long as they’re possible of course!

· Career/Activities/Finances

In view of the procession of planets trooping through your stars this month, you should make the most of this celestial support that doesn’t come around too often! Your dreams may be on their way to being realised because your hard work will finally start to bear its fruits and your talents may be recognised in quite a sudden and unexpected manner. It’s well deserved: you have done everything in your power to achieve this, so it’s a just reward. Your patience has paid off and now you can come out of the shadows, and in fact you will be invited to.

1st decan: The new Moon of the 3rd may means you’re obliged to go on a journey or complete some administrative formalities to resolve some problems. The full Moon on the 18th will bring you a choice to be made.

2nd decan: Until the 20th, Mercury retrograde leads you to review your action plan or see things from a different viewpoint. Jupiter’s influence will make you adapt to the circumstances, perhaps to the detriment of your satisfaction.

3rd decan: From the 9th onwards, you’ll fail to close a deal or bring your plans to a conclusion. From the 20th onwards, there’s a great deal of progress on the card, you’ll finally get the results you’ve been hoping for.

· Form/Health

You’ll be on top form. Those around you will even find it hard to keep up. But watch out for excess all the same – slow and steady wins the race! – don’t forget. It may be that you have some trouble getting to sleep. A word of advice: do some breathing exercises before you go to bed.

1st decan: Mercury is playing yoyo in the sign of Gemini, and you’ll be doing the same. You’d be well advised to eat meals rich in quality rather than quantity. There’s no need to go without, just keep things balanced.

2nd decan: On the 19th, the beautiful Venus, your mistress planet, enters Cancer. Even if you’re strong, but you’re a sucker for those prepared to spoil you. Get yourself moving playing sport.

3rd decan: Mars in Leo in harmony with your decan: your need to please is heightened. Watch your figure.

· Love Life and Relationships

Your feelings and emotions will be very up and down this month. Your mood will go through intense moments; you’ll be all passion and enthusiasm. Singletons will definitely be seeing the rebirth of love. Elsewhere, if you have a yearning to travel, go ahead and organise a trip. You’ll definitely have an opportunity to have some very interesting encounters or open up new horizons. If you are facing an important decision in your private life, try to make it on the 14th or 15th.

1st decan: Saturn returns direct in Virgo, you are in a positive frame of mind about consolidating your love life. Your heart is set on the sure and steady, and you get it, with a bonus of pleasure.

2nd decan: The new Moon of the 3rd heightens your erotic senses. You have the gift of attraction without effort. Your charm creates intimacy without crowding, which is greatly appreciated.

3rd decan: A feeling you are ignoring may change into true love…Mars and Venus will put the wind in your sails, and Jupiter will anchor your dreams in reality.

· Work/Activities/Finances

Your stars will be more clement in June. You’ll have a pretty good idea about that you’re going to do and the direction your moving in, so your mood will be more constructive. This is a time when many of you will start to cross the last threshold to a place where you can take a breather. On the 19th, Mercury will support you in its trigon. You’ll rediscover your lucidity, your serenity and your analytical capacity. You’re going to enjoy greater satisfactions and you’ll feel the time has come to take a break.

1st decan: The atmosphere will be rather half-hearted until Mercury returns direct on the 20th. Then, with the arrival of Venus in Cancer, a new perspective motivates you: travel is favoured, but there will be an unexpected event to deal with first.

2nd decan: With your head brimming over there’ll be no shortage of ideas, but they won’t always be easy to put into practice. Some upsets are on the cards until the 20th. Watch out: you’ll tend to be rather spendthrift.

3rd decan: Still supported by Jupiter, everything comes to you easily and all your projects will lead you towards your goal. At the end of the month, Mars, in trigon with Pluto, will reward you.

· Form/Health

The Mars square is a dynamic aspect. If you’ve managed not to get too wound up, this star will help you to get the upper hand again. If not, however, it may have an unfavourable impact on your nervous system. Expect disturbed sleep with frequent wakings and a loss of appetite.

1st decan: Venus is in the sign of Cancer in the Saturn trigon. It’s nice to do nothing when all around you are in a state of agitation. Accept that a break is necessary to maintain your health.

2nd decan: Venus tries to influence you and give you good ideas. In fact, your sports training is leading to you to neglect your appearance.

3rd decan: Until the 20th, Mercury has turned retrograde in Gemini 20, in the company of Venus. Now is THE time of the year when everything will go well, but you won’t be on top form. You’re left reeling – perhaps you’ve been pushing things too hard. If so, you must get some rest.

· Love Life and Relationships

It’s not easy for someone with a Jupiterian soul such as yourself to step aside and let others take the limelight. But this month the Sun-Mercury-Venus trio will join forces to stand up to you. The image you project may suffer a dent or two…If you’ve got to make contacts or take action likely to have an impact on your professional future, do it on the 7th, 8th or 9th. An excellent opportunity could crop up, or a meeting that turns out to have a significant impact on the course of events.

1st decan: Your libido is taking off and your heart is all of a flutter? Venus arrives in Cancer on the 19th and takes you back to the land of your old memories. An enlightening journey that gives you instils you with a desire to embrace the future.

2nd decan: Mercury is retrograde square, in the human relationships sector. You’ll need movement, space and excitement. Elsewhere, the new Moon on the 3rd may throw you up against the unexpected.

3rd decan: A festive atmosphere sees you exuberant, self-confident and on top form: your good mood will awaken many appetites; you’ll attract attention. It’s Uranus squared with the beautiful Venus that is electrifying you.

· Career/Activities/Finances

Don’t stick your neck out! Direct your efforts more towards the preparations for your holiday, if you’re off soon…or just enjoy yourself. Whichever it is, forget your work responsibilities for a while. Things will tick along unaided, there’s no need for you to push them along any faster. And in view of your astral configurations this month, you might make a mistake that will cause you problems later on. As far as your money is concerned, is there bill that’s been outstanding for a while, or perhaps you’ve forgotten to pay an instalment or settle a debt? Run a check before you pack your bags.

1st decan: On the 9th someone may suggest giving you more responsibility, or a bigger workload, which you’ll handle well on the 18th. This will guarantee you a financial income.

2nd decan: Mercury retrograde in opposition with your decan. This will be a source of endless discussion and debate. But the presence of Venus, will take the matter towards compromise in the end.

3rd decan: You feel in perfect harmony with everyone around you. The spirit of collaboration makes you more determined, but think carefully about the people you follow and the projects you choose to follow them on.

· Form/Health

Mars is still by your side. You’ll be on good form, and nothing will be able to knock this, apart from that persistent desire of yours to push yourself further and further! Learn to ration your efforts instead of getting distracted and you’ll achieve the same results without all that extra fatigue.

1st decan: Saturn in Virgo returns to the direct path, still keeping you under the thumb: square in your decan, « locking » your spontaneity. What a pity!

2nd decan: Mars, in good aspect, enables you to withstand all the consequences of a difficult start to the year. Purify yourself, do some swimming to rid yourself of all that accumulated negative energy.

3rd decan: Neptune, retrograde, isn’t abandoning you, rather just curbing your more far-fetched ideas that could have an unbalancing effect on your health. Choose relaxing weekends.

CAPRICORN

1st decan: 21 to 31/12 * 2nd decan: 1st to 9/01 * 3rd decan: 10 to 20/01

· Love Life and Relationships

A crucial time. You should definitely reconsider your view of certain of your friends. It’s got to be done, whether you like it or not. Deciding you have nothing more to say to them may lead to misunderstandings and a permanent separation. Think carefully, because you won’t be right about everything. Sparks will fly on the 19th and the 20th. In your private life, someone may give you some home truths, which won’t please you one little bit. Assimilate criticism from your partner positively since, for the most part, it will be well-founded.

1er decan: The sparks are really flying in your love life! Your good spirits will mean any acerbic comments will bounce right off you, and your enthusiasm will reveal a hint of happier tomorrows.

2nd decan: Mars, crossing through Leo, will fill you with the energy you need to confront your destiny head-on. You can expect to harvest the rewards of your efforts and enjoy some emotional well-being.

3rd decan: Jupiter and Uranus will recall the shadows of days gone by. But you have forgotten the sorrows and storms of the past! Put on all your finery while luck smiles on you.

· Career/Activities/Finances

The Jupiter-Uranus sextile will set your thoughts spinning! This configuration will give you the determination to increase your resources and show them what you’re really capable of. Don’t make too much of a fuss, though, you’re more provocateur than upstart, but you may give the wrong impression, and that would be a shame in view of what’s to come. Whatever happens, you’ll feel a need to make your presence felt and let off steam. Your enthusiasm will be catching and you’ll know how to create a good working atmosphere.

1st decan: You’ll be surrounded by effervescence, agitation, perhaps even disorder. A fun, albeit rather exhausting atmosphere, that prevents you from moving forward. Be patient: on the 20th everything will start up again.

2nd decan: From the new Moon of the 3rd, an excellent atmosphere will reign in your place of work. Enriching external contacts will make your friendships grow. But you’ll have to keep up to speed.

3rd decan: You’re carrying on working towards the same goals as last month, except this time, it will be at work and in your relationship that you find satisfaction.

· Form/Health

A little physical activity would do you a whole lot of good, particularly in soothing your nerves. You need to kick up your heels. You bottle your feelings and sentiments up inside you. Let your hair down sometimes, if you want to stay the distance…and find time for relaxation too.

1st decan: Saturn in Virgo is continuing on its way, which is a prosperous one for you. Sure of yourself and radiant, you have the spirit, the mind and the body all working together according to your philosophy for 2008: reap your reward.

2nd decan: Mars in Lion will give you a bone-shaking sense of rhythm. You’ll come out of your shell to turn everything upside down in your life, with a longing to party and a body that craves its share of the sunshine.

3rd decan: You’ll cut this month into two equal halves: one to throw your heart and soul into getting in your new summer clothes, and the other to make the very most of life’s pleasures.

· Love Life and Relationships

The atmosphere in your relationship will be much more positive! The Sun-Mercury-Venus planetary trio have resolved all the misunderstandings, faults and errors of judgement of last month. And it was time too, because you were losing your edge in the popularity stakes. But rebuilding it won’t be quite that easy, because you still have the opposition of Mars to contend with…A rather more pleasant, calming atmosphere will reign in your love life. An air of youthfulness and nonchalance will be blowing, and you won’t be slow to create that bubbly atmosphere.

1st decan: At the start of the month, the Venus-Mars duo will play in your favour and you can count on this generous couple to make your love life run smoothly. As far as seduction goes, your high spirits will work wonders.

2nd decan: What’s go into you? Mercury, retrograde in Gemini, is calling on you to exercise caution when talking to your partner, who might find it difficult to follow you or maybe to rein in your extravagances.

3rd decan: Some ups and downs are to be expected this month, as Mars starts to shoot its electricity in your direction.

· Career/Activities/Finances

Take care with any legal, administrative or financial matters, because the Mars-Neptune opposition this month will subject you to some dissonance. So read the small print before signing any contract, for example. Enlist the help of someone who understands the way it works and, where it comes to your finances, avoid all transactions. Elsewhere, your flexibility will help you to turn events round in your favour.

1st decan: Summer has come early. More optimistic, your openness makes you approachable and everything becomes easier.

2nd decan: After the 20th, an agreement is reached, or you finalise some plans. You’ll receive encouraging validation from your work colleagues, your network of friends support you.

3rd decan: A month full of ups and downs. You double up your efforts and make a lot of contacts. Everything is moving in the right direction and after the 21st your progress is less restricted.

· Form/Health

With the support of Mercury and Venus, your open-mindedness, together with your carefree approach promise happy days full of surprises! On the other hand, watch your eating habits… to many hastily devoured sandwiches while you’re on the move is less than ideal, for your health and your figure.

1st decan: Your spirits are flagging and you can’t seem to balance your energy levels; you’re either all go or all stop. Saturn turns direct and asks you quite simply to go for a walk in the country.

2nd decan: Mercury’s whims in a friendly sign are the root of an up-and-down month, as far as your mood is concerned. When you can’t make yourself understood, you become irritable and it’s your body that takes the strain.

3rd decan: The Mars-Neptune dissonance leaves you feeling disorientated. You seek reassurance through positive affirmations…but in the meantime you have anxieties you can’t quite put your finger on. Take some magnesium and vitamin C.

PISCES

1st decan: 19 to 29/02 * 2nd decan: 1 to 9/03 * 3rd decan: 10 to 20/03

· Love Life and Relationships

Are you absolutely dying to set things straight with work colleagues or friends? Don’t do it! The configuration this month won’t be conducive to you taking the right course of action. The Sun, Venus and Mercury are not well-disposed towards you, meaning your words and attitude will come across all wrong. Take a critical look at yourself instead, get some perspective and take a fresh look at the situation. Might some of the blame not lie with you in this matter? In romance: singletons risk having their hopes dashed. You must learn not to rush headlong in, with your head full of dreams.

1st decan: The arrival of Venus in Cancer, joining the trigon in your decan, drives you to devote more time to your hobby. On your own? Charity begins at home: take care of yourself.

2nd decan: Mercury retrograde: your lover won’t be able to count on your devotion, you say you want to « spend some time on your own »; you’ll need to work the land hard if you want a good harvest…

3rd decan: Uranus retrograde right in the middle of your decan, and Mercury is retrograde in the middle of Uranus. As a result the atmosphere is rather strained, if not explosive. Mind you don’t air a long-standing grudge!

· Career/Activities/Finances

The Jupiter-Uranus sextile this month will provide amazing support for your efforts, making it the ideal time consolidate your plans, add the finishing touches and implement them. Don’t rest on your laurels though, even if it seems like everything is working out the way you want it. Saturn’s opposition and Mercury’s square demand your vigilance and determination. A word of advice: listen to you intuition; it will help you to work out which way the wind is blowing. Then you’ll know what approach to take and be able to prepare your defence.

1st decan: You’ll tend to be unbothered by all the hubbub and crowds of people milling around you, isolating yourself in your bubble, or have the presence of mind to enjoy yourself.

2nd decan: Lots of annoyances and unrest are on the cards. Everything you were counting on will be cancelled or delayed. Fortunately, you’re on great form and can deal with these unexpected circumstances.

3rd decan: You’re on track, nothing and nobody can stand in your way and your positive evolution is unstoppable. Yet another twist of fate awaits you at the end of the month. On the other hand, be cautious with your money.

· Form/Health

There’s no point going faster than the music, imagine the fatigue when you arrive at the finish! Your impatience will come back to bite you: you’ll expend the maximum possible energy, your organisation will go awry and you’ll end up with a workload that’s much more than you can cope with.

1st decan: Venus in Cancer bathes you in an atmosphere of warmth but Mercury sows the seed of dissatisfaction, making you more vulnerable. You’re certainly placing too much importance on what others think and say. You’d be better of taking a step back and going for a walk.

2nd decan: Mercury retrograde, this month of June is not a good one for you at all. You seem to have all the woes of the world on your shoulders. Rediscover your peace of mind, submerge yourself in your element: water.

3rd decan: Neptune, your mistress planet, retrograde in Aquarius, is in dissonance with Mars. You’re not easy to understand, and you find obstacles where there are none. Admit your mistakes and the situation may come clear.

UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES OF LUCK AND MONEY

2008-05-13T12:27:00.000+02:00

How can you explain that some people live in comfort and are very prosperous whilst others only experience depressing failure and restrictions of all sorts?

In fact, if these people don’t have a pleasant life it is because they are not aware of these principles and mostly how to put them into practice in order to transform them into tangible riches.

Wealth obeys certain specific “rules” that must be respected if you want to win favours from Providence.

Which are these “rules” and how to put them in action in order to experience a full and comfortable life ?

That is what we are going to explain and you will soon have the ability to capitalise on the potential luck lying “asleep” inside you.

***

The first key point : you need to love money if you want it to love you.

I know that this statement goes against the traditional morals we are taught. But it is true in the world of the occult. If you don’t love money it will shy away from you. Lots of people lack money because they bear a grudge against money in general and also against those who, in their view, have too much. This is the biggest mistake you can make. It is as serious as pushing away the person you love and then complaining that you’re alone. You mustn’t push away what you want, otherwise the thing or person you want will never come to you.

GENERAL RULE: Love money without false shame and it will love you. Don’t ever criticise its power or nature. There is no such thing as dirty money, but rather wicked minds that dirty it, which is very different.

The first stage consists of changing your state of mind in order to imagine your long-term financial success. Let me explain: access to material comforts is a process and not a state. What is the difference?

A state refers to something temporary that is likely to change, such as, for example, ice that melts once the temperature rises above 0° Centigrade.

This means that if you imagine riches as a state, you will always be stressed – more or less consciously – by the idea of losing it all.

On the contrary, a process is something that is with you throughout your life and never fails you. By opening up your heart and your mind to wealth, you will build up a feeling of riches inside you that no one and nothing can take away from you.

Tell yourself that enjoying financial success is being able to look yourself in the mirror at any time and seeing a worthy person you look up to as a model to follow.

You must believe that Life has given a divine glow to every human being. You can and should seize this wonderful and unlimited creative heritage that lies within you, transforming these spiritual riches in you into external material benefits.

You are here on this earth to lead a full and rewarding life. Real riches are the result of a frame of mind through which all we need comes to us without too much effort, so that our desires can be fulfilled. Riches are part of the reality and the goal of this guide is to help you to see the nature of this reality.

It is important you understand this: thoughts are also impulses of cosmic energy with the power to manifest themselves – for good or bad – in the real world. And it is not because they are invisible when they appear in our minds that they have no impact on the real world.

Here is another important secret: our experiences of joy and sorrow, success and failure, riches and poverty, all these seem to happen to us, but at a very basic level (the seed, thought-seed) we are the ones that bring them to pass.

It should be clear to you that your destiny is bound up with your thoughts and feelings. Through consciousness you possess everything; consciousness of health brings health, consciousness of riches brings riches.

Look after the hope deep in your heart as if it were the most precious of divine gifts, because hope is the basis on which what you expect will determine the outcome. So always expect the best and you will see that the outcome is automatically included in hope. Become accustomed to thinking in terms of comfort, riches and wealth.

And above all never say: “I don’t deserve it ... I have no right ... it is fine for others but not for me ... money is bad”, etc. Never belittle yourself.

Once and for all get rid of all such negative thoughts from your mind that may attract failure and difficulties.

I will now show you a powerful and effective esoteric technique that will sow positive “thought-seeds” in your subconscious. It will enable you to develop the consciousness of riches.

THE WEALTH RITUAL

This Ritual is performed as follows. At night before going to sleep, go to a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed (telephone, television, etc.).

- Sit down, straighten your back and place your hands on your thighs. If you want, you can sit on the floor with your legs crossed. The important thing is to be able to stay in this position for a short while without being uncomfortable. If necessary place a cushion under your buttocks.

- Close your eyes and start to breathe in a natural and relaxed manner. Each time you breathe out, feel that you are becoming more and more relaxed.

- Imagine that the cosmic energy flowing around the whole universe is satisfying your needs. Let this energy flow into you and fill you with all its beneficial treasures. Don’t worry ... the universe contains all imaginable riches and there is enough to go around.

- Feel as if there were lots of room in your heart for this wealth ... feel the ray of Love and Light flowing from your heart and slowly dissolving your fear, your limitations and all your negative thoughts.

- Now visualise a white screen behind your closed eyes, as if you were at the cinema. Think deeply and clearly about what you would do, what you would say if you had all the money you needed to fulfil your dreams.

- Let images flow freely through your mind and onto the white screen.

For example, if you dream of having a house, imagine it down to the smallest detail, wander into the rooms, admire the large chimney in the sitting room, walk around the garden, visualise your friends saying: “Your house is amazing, congratulations!”

Keep one thing in mind: riches, in whatever form, are good and desirable and you are worthy of them. Develop a benevolent attitude towards wealth and in return it will reward you.

- Thank the Universe by expressing your gratitude, breathing deeply, and open your eyes.

- When you wake up in the morning murmur what you want in a low voice. For example: “I have a beautiful house, my bank account is full, I have a great job, I’m in perfect health, etc.”. Once again visualise the images from the night before in order to strengthen your wish through thought and emotion.

IMPORTANT: Continue to be firmly convinced that you ALREADY have what you want.

It is important to perform this Ritual by concentrating and being fully focussed on what you are doing. On the other hand, it is not necessary to be always consciously building up a positive attitude in order for riches to follow. In fact, constantly trying to develop a positive frame of mind can sometimes prove to be a source of tension. Let things happen on their own; this magical knowledge will be automatically organised within you.

In that way your behaviour may change on its own, spontaneously, with a minimum of effort on your part. Like a gardener, who isn’t always tending his plants, but is nevertheless constantly watching their growth, where necessary giving them fertiliser or pruning them. He trusts Nature and it does the rest...

Like him, you should do the “Wealth Ritual” whenever you feel that you need to imbue your thoughts and feelings with positive energy.

S

The second key point : you have to use your imagination for your dreams.

Large companies, careers and large fortunes, relationships, children, health, internal growth don’t happen “by chance”. They don’t just fall out of the sky or suddenly appear out of nowhere, emerging out of the depths. That is not how it works!

Everything that is successful, or that increases it, comes originally from an idea, a dream, from the “seed” that grows in the heart and mind of a human being.

A person without dreams – no matter how modest – will not enjoy a satisfactory level of success. Now honestly ask yourself: do you have a dream in life ... and if so, what is it today?

When we were children we all dreamt of what we wanted to be when we grew up: astronaut, scientist, actor, doctor, parent, farmer, beautician, teacher, fireman, etc.

During our childhood years full of games and our teens full of dreams, we tried to take on a large number of roles. Every role, job or achievement crowned with success seemed possible and real in our imagination.

But as we grew older we started to limit our possibilities. Teachers, parents, other adults, even our friends, advised us, rightly or wrongly, against doing this or that. All too often, we limited our own possibilities and “decided” to take on board the restrictive opinions of others ... to the point of living our lives in a straightjacket.

The large fertile fields of our lives started to shrink before our eyes, until our vision of future success was reduced to the size of a “flowerpot”: all of a sudden most of the world seemed off limits and inaccessible in our minds.

However, the important thing to realise is obviously that the unlimited potential of our childhood, as well as the narrow confines of our adulthood, are both above all products of our imaginations.

It is important you understand this: if you believe you can, you will without doubt be able. If you believe that you cannot, you will clearly not be able to.

Trust in your dreams in order for them to come through. Believe me, it will cost you nothing to try and you can really benefit!

You should be aware that the answer to your wish depends on the strength of your imagination and not on outside events. A person who is limited to their five physical senses sees an acorn while people with vibrant imaginations see an oak tree.

And when you wake up to the power of the imagination, you will discover that imagining and feeling the reality of your desire will result in you fulfilling this desire.

Your outside world, all that has happened in the past, events, your experiences, are also projections of your mental images – in order words, of your imagination. When you become aware of the hidden world of your imagination (the cause) and of the outside world (the effects), you will start fulfilling your desires.

In truth, in this process, a process that everyone goes through more or less consciously depending on how aware they are, we are simply complying with the cosmic principle of the Universal Law of Manifestation.

In olden times people called the imagination “God’s workshop”. Make use of your imagination to fulfil your dreams, your hopes. Define and imagine the perfect outcome for what you want. Feel the reality of your desire as if it were achieved ... and the outcome will follow on its own.

You have just learnt something very important: the imagination is an amazing strength. It is also a skill.

There is another Universal Law that teaches us that “if we don’t use our skills, we lose them”. In the same way as an orchard left untended ends up producing bitter or scrawny fruit.

Some good news for you: it is absolutely possible to benefit from the power of the imagination; to do so I will show you some helpful exercises that will enable you to stimulate the power of your creative imagination.

Exercises to do on a very regular basis:

- From now on you need to become fully aware of your senses. Try and take in as many images, sounds, smells, textures and tastes as possible.

- Feel the texture of wet sand, of fresh earth, of dew covered grass, or of the carpet under your feet. Experience the smell of the countryside, the ocean air, the smell of trees and flowers, aromas given off in a restaurant or a bakery.

- Take note of all the shapes and colours as you walk from one place to another or as you take it easy over the weekend. Be more curious and conscious of what is around you.

- When you take part in business or social meetings or meet up with friends and are listening to someone speak, try and imagine the situation being described by that person. Let the words create images, emotions and feelings.

- When you speak, use descriptive and evocative words. Describe events and plans with enthusiasm. In that way you will see the benefit of fuelling better conversation and of becoming a better speaker.

- Sit down comfortably in a chair. Relax for a few seconds. Take note of the objects around you. Now close your eyes and try and remember as many objects as possible in the room. The number of objects you can remember will surprise you.

- Do this exercise as often as possible. When you remember an object, try also to recall its shape, colour, feel and size. The key is to recall the object by what it looks like and not its name. Pick up an object and close your eyes. Feel the object as you move it from one hand to another. Follow the contours with your fingers and, at the same time, imagine its shape in your mind.

- Try and watch television with your eyes closed. This may seem a little silly, but it is without doubt the best way of using your imagination via this medium. Television is one of the main factors causing the suppression of children’s imagination at such a young age. It provides them with very few opportunities for interaction and doesn’t allow them to stimulate their own imaginations since all the images are provided.

- Write down your thoughts in a notebook on a regular basis. Put your ideas on paper as they come to you, without worrying unduly about spelling, grammar, syntax which tend to inhibit spontaneity.

By regularly practicing these simple but nevertheless powerful exercises, you will be able to visualise in a very effective manner. You will feel your imagination waking up. You will thus be able to use it like a “library of video-clips”, full of memories and like a meteorological satellite allowing you to predict a sunny future.

BETTER STILL: your most secret dreams will thus become clearer .. and above all will start to gradually come through.

Just like the sprout from the seed, which though not yet visible since it is underground, already contains the future plant.

S

The third key point is to become aware of your goals.

The next step requires you to be conscious of what you really want. Once you are fully focussed on your dream, you will be ready to transform your dream into a goal.

What is the difference between a dream and a goal?

A dream is something that you WOULD LIKE to experience in life, whereas a goal is something you HAVE THE INTENTION of achieving.

Lots of people dream of living a rich lifestyle, sometimes they even dream of it down to the smallest detail. However, they will never move onto the next step, which is setting goals, for one specific reason: they don’t really have the intention of transforming their dream into reality.

Having an aim, a goal, is a key driver in life, something that gives purpose to your life and makes it special. Without aims, we labour in a job without ever building a career. Without goals, weekends are nothing more than a necessary break in work.

Whatever the aims are is up to you. You must be capable of expressing them in very simple terms; for example: “My aim is to have my own house where I could spend happy days with the people I love” ... or perhaps: “I want to enrich my spirit by travelling throughout the world and discovering the diversity of peoples and cultures” ... or perhaps: “My aim in life is to care for people, to make everybody I meet happy and to encourage peace”, and so forth...

It is important that you realise that a goal is not a whim, but rather a sincere and lasting dream worthy of interest, pushed to the next level when you are ready to think of it in terms of numbers, places, facts and details, but without ever losing sight of the desire to reach the goal you have set for yourself.

I would like to stress another key point: having a goal not only allows you to more readily employ your personal resources and creativity but also significantly helps the free flow of universal cosmic energy through you, which can thus act on your behalf.

The direct result of the free flow of energy is that MONEY thus naturally and spontaneously flows into your life. Money, but also wealth, love, luck, success...

Moreover, a goal represents a valuable guide, because it will determine how you will choose to divide up your time and on the basis of what priorities.

Would you like your life to be full and comfortable? Like, for example offering gifts to your family and friends, paying for your children’s education, building your house, going on holidays, changing your car, and lots of other things. Your desires are completely reasonable.

If you want to attract money in order to satisfy them, believe in your dreams, transform them into goals and detailed action plans and plan them over time.

This is absolutely crucial; this is a demonstration of an occult law that states that what cannot be expressed cannot become a reality. The Bible says: “Ask and you will receive”.

This divine law in fact reveals to us the essence of the Word of our Creator and how to pray: but if while praying, we don’t clearly and wholeheartedly state what we want to happen in life, the message will not be heard by Higher Powers. And thinking in a confused and vague manner is not enough: in fact, it is as if it didn’t exist!

So long as you don’t set deadlines for your goals, they will not come through. If, on the other hand, you set yourself a target, you will then have a guideline that will motivate you and enable you to work happily, thereby creating a positive attitude (positive thoughts, emotions and feelings = creative energy). You will thus have taken a decisive step on the path to success.

Don’t ever forget that: anyone who can manage her time will find herself “as if by magic” in the right place at the right time; she will “convert” time into money.

Here are some useful suggestions that have proven their worth: don’t hesitate to apply them, because they will help with the fulfilment of your projects, attracting money to your life, without fail, and you will thus more easily reach your goals.

· First of all write down your goals

Do so clearly, in order to be fully coherent. As if you were drawing up a “contract” with yourself, which will enable you to enter into a good relationship with yourself!

Take the time to do as detailed a list as possible. And take pleasure in doing it! Let yourself go. Aim high and be specific. This list of your goals must reflect your needs and desires, and not those that others express on your behalf. The best goals are your own, because they give you the satisfaction and joy of having achieved something yourself.

· Set out your goals in order of priority

List them briefly and then class them in order of importance. Try and visualise the outcome. Stay in touch with what you feel when you imagine it and freely express the emotions and thoughts that run through you.

Continue to try different possibilities, until you have found their order of priority. You can take as long as you need with this process.

Set aside your list for a couple of days, and then go back to it. Have another look at it, possibly reorganising it. Once your goals are in order, focus on the one that is top priority.

· Divide your goals into categories

So long as a goal doesn’t have a deadline, it isn’t really a goal. You can establish more or less three types of goals: short-term ones – they can be achieved within a period of 3 to 6 months, medium-term ones – these can be achieved in between six months and three years, and longer-term goals that can only be achieved in over three years.

· Set deadlines for your goals

Let your goals “become real” by setting deadlines.

Imagine for example that your top medium-term priority is to visit a foreign country that has long fascinated you. It is now possible to plan it over time, by fixing various dates that will mark out its completion.

You can express it in this way:

- Financially: “I’ll save 5% of my salary every month for this trip”.

- Intellectually: “I’ll sign up for a language course to familiarise myself with the basics of the language spoken in that country, I’ll get information and get in contact with competent bodies (embassies, tourist agencies, international organisations, etc. ...), I’ll explore the culture and traditions of this country by reading such or such book”, etc.

- Physically: “I’ll draw up a calendar of the mandatory vaccinations I need, I’ll get in shape through regular physical or sporting activities: gym or swimming once or twice a week”.

- Socially: build friendships with people sharing the same passion, make new friends likely to help you with your plans, find new pastimes connected with your goal.

· Develop a “magical mindset” vis-à-vis your goals

When setting your goals, verbally or even in writing, I suggest that you only use the first person (using the pronoun “I”). Use as many action adverbs as possible such as “easily, gradually, happily, naturally, simply”, etc. Choose words that have emotional connotations, such as “with enthusiasm, with joy, with pleasure”. Use language that gives the impression that you have already achieved your goals, in particular using the present tense and not the future.

Then use the following Magic Ritual: it is designed to powerfully charge the projects included on your list with universal cosmic energy.

RITUAL OF CREATIVE MANIFESTATION

Location: go somewhere you won’t be disturbed. Take your list of priority goals and carefully fold it in four. Sit down in a comfortable position, making sure your back is completely straight. Place the folded sheet in front of you.

Energising: shake your hands energetically to either side of you in order to above all get rid of any static electricity. Then join them above your head so as to gather cosmic energy. Then rub them in front of you, as if you were washing them.

Now turn the palm of your left hand upwards, place each of the fingers in this hand, one by one, in your right hand and pull them slowly backwards and downwards, letting them go abruptly when you come to the end of each one. Do the same thing with your right hand by stretching each of your fingers using your left hand.

Then join your hands in front of you, placing both palms together, and turn your fingers towards the centre of your chest, your elbows raised outwards, in order to fill your hands with energy; stay like that for a few moments. Finally, place them on your thighs, palms upwards, and let the energy flow into your hands.

Purification: take your sheet of goals in your joined hands and place it in front of you. Now imagine a “shower of golden light” flowing onto your sheet in order to take away whatever negative energies they may have (in your mind ask that these energies disperse with the shower of light). Imagine these “impurities” flowing into the earth and burning up. Finally visualise your sheet surrounded with golden light.

Impregnation: keep your sheet at the height of your heart. While letting your energies impregnate it, focus for a few moments on your aim.

Programming: with your sheet still at the height of your heart, say the following formula out loud:

“I, (say your name), imbue this sheet of goals with all my love and energy for my aim to come to pass, for my good and the good of us all.”

You can add your own personal formula of thanks to the universe.

Once you have performed this Ritual, you will now be guided towards the achievement of your goal: universal energy will support you, like a powerful spiritual force of love.

Important additional advice

When you have done this Ritual, your sheet of goals will become sacred; don’t give it or show it to anyone else.

Always keep it on you (wallet, handbag, etc.). Consult it often. When you need to make a decision, ask yourself if your choice will help or damage the achievement of one of your main goals.

In this way, you will be sure that you are strengthening your goals in your mind, by literally developing a “goal-driven mindset”. Your goals stay priorities despite any distractions or obstacles you may meet along the way. You must organise your daily activities and your schedule so as to help you reach your goals. On that basis only decide to do those things that bring you closer to your aims.

You now know the key points on which to build a happy and prosperous life. Put these fundamental principles into practice and the secret instructions I have just given you, apply them on a daily basis, with confidence and perseverance ... and you will soon see for yourself that money will not be long flowing into your life.

All that you truly want to achieve will thus be achieved in harmony with the Divine Order. Nothing will now hinder the free flow of universal cosmic energy through you and around you; the “River of Money” will once again flow into your life and luck will be your trustworthy servant.

Remember that once you start thinking in a positive, constructive, peaceful and loving manner, i.e. in harmony with the eternal and unchangeable cosmic Laws, your subconscious will immediately respond to your thoughts, to your constructive mental images; the balance will be re-established, the past forgotten.

SUBTLE ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN BEING : THE CHAKRAS SYSTEM

2008-04-23T10:29:00.000+02:00

It is first necessary to define what are the chakras, their function and how they work.

This knowledge dates back many thousands of years, however approaches can vary from country to country. My own personal approach to the Chakras results from many years of experience and is based on the esoteric knowledge of the sages of Ancient India. These great Masters were well aware of the presence of seven vital energy centres (chakras) in every human being.

The word "chakra" means "wheel" (or "spinning disk") in Sanskrit. The seven major chakras are found along a vertical axis corresponding to the spinal column.

A chakra is an energy centre situated in the "etheric aura" of the individual (i.e. in the electro-magnetic field which naturally surrounds the physical body). It is invisible to the naked eye (except for people who have the gift of clairvoyance), because it's not really of a physical nature.

In fact, the chakra is etheric; this means that it is made of an ethereal substance, which is more subtle than the physical body, because its atomic vibration is more rapid. This is why it remains invisible.

You could say that chakras are centres which transform and distribute the energies originating from the sky and the ground, that is to say cosmic and earth forces. To understand their fundamental role, you need to know that if a human being had no chakras and received cosmic energy directly, without it being transformed, then that person would instantly be "struck down" by the various natural energies that would be coursing straight through them.

The chakras are responsible for only letting in the energy you are capable of absorbing. The amount of energy corresponds to your level of consciousness (or evolution). And the more your chakras open and allow cosmic energy to penetrate inside you, the more you evolve, the more your consciousness expands.

The chakras actually transform the various energies that enter a person, and then redistribute them throughout the physical body through the endocrine glands, which release their secretions into the blood.

You can imagine the chakras as coloured wheels of light, as funnel-shaped energy vortexes, spinning round in a clock-wise direction. They have "blades" like a fan, or "petals" like a flower, which create the funnel shape as they turn. As these wheels rotate, universal cosmic energy is drawn into the chakras, and then distributed round the body.

Chakras therefore pick up the vibrations existing in the environment. Through their various functions, these energy centres link the individual to everything that is occurring around him, in nature and in the Universe, acting rather like an "antenna".

You can regard your own chakras as organs of the subtle senses. Our physical body with its five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) is a vehicle adapted to the vital laws of our planet, which enables us to find our way in everyday life. The chakras act as receptors for all the energy vibrations and all the information hovering "above" the physical plane: they are like gateways into the magical and boundless world of more subtle energies.

To live in harmony with yourself, others and the environment, combining both strength and creativity, knowledge and love, all chakras must be "open" and working in harmony with each other. Because the more the chakras "open up", the more the people evolve, and the more energy they have to achieve what they want to in life.

Conversely, if someone's chakras are "blocked" and not functioning harmoniously, not only do they capture very little universal cosmic energy, but they also accumulate negative waves. This accumulation of "bad" energies makes them prone to difficulties and gradually brings all kinds of problems into their lives.

Then they easily fall victim to secret manipulations, malign influences, emotional and professional disasters. They just don't have the strength to deal with it all. And in most cases, the energy centres are thrown out of harmony leading to pain and various disorders.

This creates a vicious circle that it's very difficult to get out of. Especially as the person in question is generally ignorant of the cause of this persistent "adversity".

How do the chakras get "blocked" ?

Our behaviour becomes ingrained in us, forming patterns that we repeat over and over. From our earliest childhood we start to build a "map of the world". It's as though we see the world through a filter, like tinted glasses putting things into perspective.

This personal map of the world incorporates a set of rules, according to which we believe the world functions. These are learned from a very young age, depending on the experiences we each undergo and the perceptions delivered by our senses.

But here is the most important point: our "map of the world" is built on three key elements: our need for security, our image of ourselves and the power we exert over our environment.

In fact, from the day we are born, we try to develop these three elements, or we are obliged to develop them in order to survive. The three are of course interlinked because it is often the case, for example, that we build our image in such a way as to establish our security, because it's through our image, how we present ourselves to others, that we will be able to influence the love and attention we receive from them.

It's in a baby's interest to know how to behave if he wants to obtain affection, tenderness or food from his parents. From his experiences, and his various attempts to adapt to his environment, the tiny child soon starts to gradually piece together his map of the world i.e. the rules he must obey to establish his security and his influence over his environment.

For example, the child will become convinced that it's by being very obedient and complying with his parents' wishes that he will gain their love. This kind of belief, which is very common, leads us to build a "false identity", which is not based on our true personality but on our impressions of other people's expectations.

As the years go by, we become identified with this mask, with this "double" who is not our real self. So we pass our true life by, unless we make an effort to recognise and accept what we are, deep down.

We lay down the essentials of our map of the world during the first three years of life. Even if the general "lie of the land" is hard or almost impossible to cope with, it's still not easy to escape from it when the opportunity presents itself, because this means stepping out of the known and abandoning our familiar viewpoints to venture into new and uncharted territory.

So during our childhood, from the moment we are born, we tend to create a very limited set of rules for the functioning of the world because we don't feel the need to explore beyond our basic need for financial, physical, emotional and mental security.

As a result of negative conditioning suffered during the first three years of life, individuals form their map of the world based on three types of negative beliefs the strength of which will vary. These will have the effect of hindering the flow of life-energy through the first three chakras, thus preventing the person from finding inner peace and love, from being in contact with the Soul (which happens through the Heart Chakra).

In energy terms, this manifests itself through kinds of "filters" operating within the first chakras, which trap the energy in the first levels of consciousness, preventing an opening of the heart which is the gateway to the Soul.

As long as these energy "filters" are present, the human being remains more or less exclusively focused on the first levels of consciousness: he neurotically repeats the same type of experience over and over again, as he unconsciously tries to sort out the complexes that lie at the root of his negative conditioning.

So what are these three kinds of "negative" beliefs?

· Here are some illustrations of how the first negative belief might be expressed: "I don't have the right to exist", or "I have no place…", "I don't deserve to live…".

If, during his first year, a baby has had problems in terms of security (due to his relationship with his mother for example), this will have important repercussions on his adult life. To some degree, he will develop the idea that he does not deserve to exist, that he has no place on earth, etc.

This tends to cause various difficulties in life, such as: problems of a material nature, poor asset management, erratic and turbulent relationship with money (for example: inability to manage a bank account, perpetual money problems, spending more than you earn, etc.), problems managing time (often being late, forgetting appointments, etc.), professional instability (frequent job changes, etc.), physical instability (often moving home), not knowing how to dress, dietary problems (neglecting bodily needs, etc.), excretion problems (constipation), anxieties about death, phobias, disturbed sleep, dislike of being touched or touching others, etc.

· The second negative belief may be expressed as follows: "I don't deserve to be loved…"

When a young child often finds that he can't satisfy his need for love, affection, tenderness, he forms this kind of negative belief. Deep inside himself, he becomes convinced that he cannot be loved because he isn't "worth" it. This will have a huge impact on his existence. He will choose between several types of strategy. Either he will cut himself off emotionally, or adopt the kind of behaviour that will provoke rejection from the people around him, or assume a false character which is more pleasing to his parents and milieu, by stifling his own identity.

The emotional wounds suffered during childhood subsequently engender a variety of problems such as: abandonism (subconscious fear of being abandoned…), emotional dependence, attention-seeking, various addictions (nicotine, alcohol, drugs, etc.), jealousy and possessiveness, a desire to please at all costs, fear of solitude, suppression of emotions, sexual problems, dietary problems (gaining satisfaction from eating to substitute for emotional satisfaction), neuroses, unbalanced attitude to giving/receiving, etc.

Those in whom this kind of negative belief predominates erect an internal barrier which separates them from their emotional wound which is too painful to bear consciously. For example, they only live "in their head", cutting themselves off from their feelings and emotions, because they know that deep down there is great distress.

Others deliberately create antipathies with other people. They behave in this way in order to actually provoke rejection, which allows them to throw the responsibility onto others ("nobody loves me - it's their fault"). Deep down, the real belief is "nobody loves me because I'm not worthy of love", and this subconscious belief is countered by transferring the blame onto others. To effect this transferral, the individual does everything possible to make sure that others reject him and lose interest in him.

· The third negative believe may be expressed as follows: "I'm incompetent", with variations like: "I'm useless", "I'm worthless".

This kind of belief stems from the child's relationship with his father, and especially the interest the father has/hasn't shown in the child, by spending time with him and nurturing his abilities and talents in particular. The child who hasn't received enough paternal support regarding his value and competence develops the belief that he's not really a valuable or capable person. An element of doubt about his own worth is planted in his mind.

The "feedback" that the father gives him, through his presence and contact (or lack of it), will have a direct influence on the future social identity of the child. When he finds no mirror or example represented in his father, he cannot find the self-confidence he needs to develop. This results in a complex about his identity and value which will then be expressed in various ways, all relating to self-assertion: submission or domination (in inter-personal relations), desperate search for recognition, poor self-image, inability to be assertive or realise potential, suppressed anger and aggression, social effacement or conversely a great thirst for power, career problems, demanding or aggressive tone of voice, rejection or fear of authority, feeling of superiority or inferiority, neuroses, perfectionism, activism, etc.

One can therefore see that when these negative conditioning "filters" are hindering the proper functioning of the lower chakras (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus), everything is thrown out of balance. Consequently, the other higher chakras can no longer capture universal cosmic energy either.

Fortunately, this chakra-blocking process which causes various problems in life is not irreversible: you simply need to re-balance and re-open the chakras to that life-energy, so that they are perfectly able once more to capture the cosmic forces emanating from the current of energy which flows through the Universe… and surrounds every living organism.

Then one can re-create what I call one’s own "cosmic circuits of personal luck", seize lucky opportunities once more, and become the creator of a full and happy life.

WORLD ASTROLOGY - PLUTO IN CAPRICORN

2008-04-22T16:06:00.001+02:00

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN

WORLD ASTROLOGY

Diary:

· Pluto is the slowest planet of the zodiac: it takes around 240 years to travel right round the zodiac. It’s most recent spell in Capricorn was from 1776 to 1791.

· World astrology works on the basis that every country is represented by a sign of the zodiac. Capricorn influences and guides some countries, such as the British Isles, China and the whole of Asia.

· Pluto is a planet of transformation and Capricorn represents the sign allied to power. Its last transit coincided with the French revolution, the creation of the United States, power struggles with the hierarchical status quo and the independence of peoples. Even before this, in around 1530, Pluto in Capricorn saw the introduction by Henry VIII of Anglicism, causing a schism with the Catholic church. The same period that saw the American Independence, 1776-1791, also corresponds to the disintegration of English supremacy in the Americas. So you could say that both the United States and the UK are both facing a period of transformation. It’s also the first time the US will see the return of Pluto to its original position (for around 240 years).

· Capricorn also represents regions of Asia in a state of flux. Buddhism may well see a resurgence, while Christianity and Islam are entering periods of schism and division (see 1530 and Anglicism). Capricorn corresponds to drought and famine and revolution. The last transit of Pluto through Capricorn (1762) coincided with the decline of the Monarchy that lay at the root of the French revolution in 1789.

It’s important to note that the French Revolution was in fact part of a chain of revolutions playing out across western Europe and the Americas: the American Revolution (1770-1783), revolutionary troubles in Ireland and England (1780-1783), revolution in the United Provinces (1783-1787), democratic revolutions in Geneva (1766-1768 and 1782), all under the influence of Pluto in Capricorn.

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN: POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES

The planet Pluto came back into Capricorn on January 26th 2008 and will stay there until March 24th, 2023, on which date it will move into Aquarius. But the phenomenon of retrogradation (2° by Capricorn on April 03, 2008) will mean it will be back for several months (from June 15th to November 27th) in the sign of Sagittarius.

Many astrologers think this period will be crucial for the major changes that will figure in the future of the Earth.

Pluto in Sagittarius and terrorism We have seen that the passage of Pluto through the Fire sign of Sagittarius coincided with a surge of religious extremism and a proliferation of acts of terrorism, reaching their climax with the events of September 11th 2001.

But Pluto, like all the planets, has a negative function and a positive function: it has also allowed humanity to step up a gear in communication techniques and computer networks. In fact, the Internet has literally exploded since 1996, the date on which Pluto entered Sagittarius.
What should we expect to happen to us with Pluto in Capricorn? …
We caught a first glimpse of things to come towards the end of January 2008, at the very moment when the planet entered this sign in its slightest degree.
The world of finance was shocked to learn that a lowly trader at the French bank Société Générale had in fact lost this company 5 billion euros thanks to ‘an elaborate portfolio of fictitious transactions’.

Pluto in Capricorn and the end of capitalismThis Earth sign and its planet Saturn correspond to "everything that is hard and everything that lasts".
In this case, the Law, the property market (Saturn= stone), the authorities and the banking institutions, not to forget the education system.

And that’s just the start, since we know that the Plutonian metamorphosis is set to continue through to 2023!
As far as the property market is concerned, the crisis is well and truly underway in the US, with the sub-prime (risky loans) scandal, with banks having granted mortgages at variable rates without concerning themselves with the possible insolvency of its debtors.

Of course, other Western countries – including France – run the risk of going down the same path and this may lead, sooner or later to a world economic recession. This may be the case, but it doesn’t mean we need necessarily fear cataclysmic upheaval. We should, rather, be studying the positive consequences of the Plutonian mutation into Capricorn.It is now clear that the stock exchange system has spun out of control, even if all the specialists agree that the ‘crashes’ of the past can be more easily avoided than before. But, for some years now, the signs have become more and more blatant, and people are starting to work out just how it is that the banks have so much money.

They are increasingly coming to the realisation that this money is virtual, that speculation is not only unfair but also ever more dangerous for the world economy. Isn’t it unfair that a mere trader can earn millions of euros in a single day while so little is done to help the poor?

On May 17th, 1792, the New York stock exchange came into being when 24 brokers decided to apply a uniform rate of commission to all sales of stock. ‘Wall Street’, the largest financial market in the world, was born!
If we look at the astral chart corresponding to that day, we see that Pluto was polarised against the Sun-Mercury duo in Taurus, and the Moon, allied to Saturn, was opposing Jupiter-Neptune.

In other words: the fight was on!

The divide between the rich and the poor gets wider year after year, with African countries suffering increasingly from famine, the impact of global warming becoming ever more costly and the invention of so-called climate refugees!
Conclusion: the time has well and truly come to reform the world of finance. And it’s Pluto that will drive this change over the coming fifteen years. Capitalism is, quite clearly, living its last few years, at least in its current form, since it is damaging the economic stability of the planet.

Pluto is, rightly, called "The Great Upholder of the Law": it takes the lid of intrigues, plots, embezzlements, frauds, injustices and scams. So this major clean-up may see in a new era of greater transparency in banking, new rules governing stock exchanges and most importantly: a fairer and more balanced distribution of wealth.
At the same time, however, all excesses are possible. So we have to expect a long-term accommodation crisis, an economic recession and extremely tense relations between world governments. Since the cyclical indices are set to hit their lowest point in 2017, we may assume that hope will return from that crucial year onwards, setting things back on a more even keel and laying the foundations of a new world from 2023 (truly the start of the Age of Aquarius?).

Of course, everything depends not only on the free will of humanity as a whole, but also on the free will of each individual!

We mustn’t forget that every drop of the Ocean contributes, in its own, unique way.
The end of the year 2008 will reveal whether the definitive ingress of Pluto in Capricorn will coincide with these changes, for better or for worse!

MARIA DUVAL'S HOROSCOP FOR MAY 2008

2008-04-22T16:03:00.001+02:00

MARIA DUVAL'S HOROSCOP FOR MAY 2008

ARIES

1st decan: 21 au 31/03 * 2nd decan: 1st to 11/04 * 3rd decan: 12 to 20/04

· Love life and relationships

Your magnetism and your powers of seduction will win everyone over. Nobody will be able to deny you anything, and the confidence and sympathy you inspire will have all caving in to your every whim. This makes now a great time to set your plans in action, whatever their nature: you’ll do very well! In your personal life, don’t see the improvements in your love-life as granting you carte blanche to do whatever you like. There’s nothing wrong with spending more time with your family and being more available to them.

1st decan: Mercury and Mars are on your side; this is a time during which you’ll feel like getting out and seeing a bit of the world. It’s not out of the question that someone will fall for your – heightened – charm, just as Spring arrives and awakens the senses.

2nd decan: your exchanges and contacts will be favoured by the intelligence and adroitness Mercury will confer on you. If you’re with your partner: romantic weekends and special time together, nothing will upset your equilibrium.
If you’re single: your openness of spirit will open doors for you.

3rd decan: Jupiter is clearly backing out of your decan. Is your dialogue with your partner beset with misunderstandings? Don’t exhaust yourself for nothing. Draw on your generosity and let it be your guide.

· Career/Activities/Finances

This month risks being marked by self-doubt. You’ll be second asking yourself about your future and some of you will even be envisaging a radical change. Proceed with caution and don’t rush to take the first proposal that comes your way. Elsewhere in your life, you may dream of moving home or investing in the purchase of a house or apartment. Here too, more haste less speed; take your time looking into the place where you want to settle down…

1st decan: with Mercury and Mars in your segment from the 11th onwards, you may make use of a contact and take a courageous decision. You’ll certainly have the opportunity to consolidate your assets or invest.

2nd decan: your dynamism and motivation will be untouchable from the 11th onwards. Your efficiency and creativity will work wonders. But watch out! Your tastes and needs may take you beyond the limits of your budget.

3rd decan: you should plan for a few problems at work and/or in the finances. The recession of Jupiter will brings its share of frustrations, delays and higher than anticipated expenses.

· Form/Health

Mars’ support from the 10th onwards will mark the beginning of a surge in your energy levels. Learn how to ration your efforts and don’t push yourself too far. It would be a really good idea to keep a closer eye on your blood pressure. Since the start of the year you’ve tended to lead a more pressured existence, so a little caution right now would be wise. Try to take a lighter view of things.

1st decan: you’re being given a freer rein, giving you a boost and the drive to turn ideas to action.

2nd decan: your energy levels are rising and physically you’re getting stronger, thanks to the mental stimulus of Mercury and Gemini, from the 3rd to the 26th.

3rd decan: the Venus-Saturn trigon in an Earth sign brings you an opportunity to make the most of all life has to offer without fear of overexertion. Keep one priority in mind to ensure you maintain your equilibrium: a healthy lifestyle.

· Love life and relationships

Venus is passing through your sign in your birthday month; this means your love life will come to the fore. Singletons may meet their soul mate: the 5th and 6th will be red-letter days, followed by the 13th and 14th. On these days, Venus, Jupiter and the Moon will combine to form a trio that will augur extremely well for the quality and solidity of a forthcoming union. For couples, if your relationship seems to be floundering, it may gain a second wind and you’ll set off again on a sounder base.

1st decan: Venus is boosting your love life. If you’ve been having doubts about your relationship, you’ll finally get the feeling that you are where you want to be. Are you seeking security? The time is now right to talk about the future.

2nd decan: the new Moon of the 5th, which happens in your decan, may give you a glimpse of a new direction you could take to consolidate your relationship. If you’re single, you’ll have the wind in your sails.

3rd decan: Venus will be sending you good vibrations and giving you a great opportunity to meet someone around the 20th. This could be good, so don’t miss it under any circumstances!

· Career/Activities/Finances

The first two weeks of the month will be a time to get things moving. The Jupiter-Sun trigon that will support your energy levels, assisted, from the 10th onwards by the Mars quadrate, could mark an important stage in your life! The Sun tends to guide you, consolidating your actions and ensuring your projects go the distance, with the back-up of Jupiter’s powers of expansion, development and success. If you were born between the 6th and the 20th of May, this planetary configuration will have a particular impact on you.

1st decan: The presence in your decan of Venus in your decan, in the Saturn trigon, drives you to get responsibly involved in all your projects. Why not make your assets work for you? The time is right!

2nd decan: mobilise all your energies towards the success of your goals: Mercury brings you immense skill in business matters, and the money will flow. You’ll adapt to your circumstances and make the most of them. It’s all systems go!

· Form/Health

Anxiety and nerves…bad news for the digestion, possibly entailing stomach upsets. Why are you so agitated? There’s nothing to be gained and, what’s worse, it may make you ill. Re-centre yourself and eat at regular mealtimes; it will do your stomach, and your mood, the world of good.

1st decan: your charms will be effortlessly at their peak on the 5th, and your lucky stars will shower all their gifts on you.

2nd decan: the Venus-Jupiter trigon will make you see everything on a grand scale; a good month of May, rich in promise …

3rd decan: you’re leading a very organised existence, dealing with every area of your life without any shortage of energy. Mars passes through Leo on the 10th bringing with it dynamism for you. Those born on the 19th, 20th and 21st may be affected by the full moon of the 20th: difficulty sleeping, restless nights, waking up in a bad mood and suffering all the next day. Take care when travelling: absent-mindedness is a distinct possibility.

GEMINI

1st decan: 21 to 31/05 * 2nd decan: 1 to 10/06 * 3rd decan: 11 to 21/06

· Love life and relationships

From the 3rd onwards, your planet Mercury will be paying you a little visit. You’ll feel great in your own skin and ready to talk to anybody about anything. You won’t find yourself at a loss for words, quite the contrary in fact! Mind you don’t « slip–up » in the words you choose or you may say something you’ll regret; go easy on those you engage in conversation with, and it’ll be you that comes out on top in the end.

1st decan: if your heart is beating like a drum, listen to the tune it’s playing. Before the 27th, plan a romantic weekend with your lover. Mercury is « with you »: the conditions are ideal for setting off on a trip and whispering sweet nothings.

· Career/Activities/Finances

Don’t waste your time talking endlessly about things that really don’t matter and might even tarnish your image, which would be a shame. Make the most of Mars’ support from the 10th onwards to refocus your efforts and your brainpower on launching a project or reviewing some of your priorities. Mercury will help you come up with the best and most efficient defence, and you’ll also have the backing of Mars which will give you the courage to stand firm and not be put off by anything.

2nd decan: at the start of the month, you’ll be wavering and quibbling over the tiniest detail strikes you as being off the mark. But after the 10th, there’ll be no more hesitation. Driven by nerves of steel, you’ll not be short of convincing words.

3rd decan: the withdrawal of Jupiter, from the 10th onwards, will put the brakes on growth. You’ll put some smart tricks into play to go against the tide, but you’ll need to be super-bold if you want them to pay off.

· Form/Health

You need to channel your energy if you don’t want to see it go to waste! You tend to want to be everywhere at once and you won’t be able to sustain a pace like that for long. Don’t forget the words of Saturn: stay calm and take your time.

1st decan: don’t lose touch with your body, have the sense to look after it. Balance your activities between mind and body.

2nd decan: Venus has moved into the sign of Taurus and will be there till the 24th, impelling you gently to listen to your body. You tend to wear yourself out, swinging between nervous highs and stressed-out lows.

3rd decan: from the 10th you come into competition with yourself. Nothing will stop you, not even Saturn. You’re in an Air sign; consider breathing something other than the city air!

· Love life and relationships

Through to the 24th Venus’ sextile will make everything easier in your relationships. This Venusian note will be in total harmony with your lunar temperament and accentuate your charm and the wisdom of your words. The Venusian influence will also have an impact on your love life; if things haven’t been moving forward very fast, you will now find the magic formula to bring back well-being and complicity. For singletons, this month of May could be heady and somewhat overwhelming: in fact, everything is in place for you to plan a life together with your chosen one.

1st decan: your horizons are broadening, and your social circle too is widening. It’s not curiosity you’re lacking, nor your sense for hunting down that rare pearl.

2nd decan: you instinctively know you were made to enjoy the happiness of coupledom. The new moon of the 5th will drive you to place more importance on the quality of your relationships.

3rd decan: until the 24th, Venus will create such a pleasant climate it would be rude not to make the most of it. You’ll have the wind in your sails, so you can whisper sweet nothings without fear of disturbance.

· Career/Activities/Finances

You’ll benefit from the Sun-Venus-Saturn triple sextile, all with the support of Uranus. These configurations are very fertile and creative. It would be a great idea if you moved up a gear and showed a bit of daring! You need to locate all the support you need from people in high places. As far as your money is concerned, this is also a time when you may see your income increase or find a more profitable activity sector. In fact, the ball is in your court.

1st decan: until the 10th you won’t be able to keep a secret; avoid spilling the beans, even to someone who appears trustworthy or your words may come back to haunt you.

2nd decan: you’re evolving in a favourable climate. Your relations with those around you are pleasant, and there’s a bond that’s growing stronger. Your plans will move ahead in a positive direction until the 20th and will be followed by a financial bonus.

3rd decan: Jupiter withdraws from the 10th onwards obliging you to draw discreetly on your resources. Things slow down over the course of the month. Now’s a good time to sort out legal and financial obligations.

· Form/Health

Your stamina and strength of character will help you to take the initiative and overcome any obstacle that may crop up in your path. But be careful not too push yourself too far, your health isn’t iron clad. Take care and look after yourself.

1er decan: on the 5th, a change of direction: you’ll have nerves of steel and a feeling of excitement. Make the most of life. Your digestion problems will disappear.

2nd decan: a magical brightness lights up your skies. Nobody will be able to upset you and you’ll see how the red carpet is rolled out for you. Mars in Leo, on the 10th, gives you the determination to participate regularly in a physical or sporting activity.

3rd decan: on the 24th, Venus comes to the end of its time in Gemini. You’re filled with an urge to flit from one thing to the next, be careful not to spend your energies unwisely. You’re going to need them.

· Love life and relationships

Over the course of this month you’ll be placing more emphasis on your friendships. Basically, you’ll feel a need to re-establish old ties and see your friends more often. The Venusian influence of Taurus will play a major role in increasing this desire. But don’t be surprised if some of them don’t respond immediately, you need to give them a little time. Your love life will go through some ups and downs, but without consequence.

1st decan: Mercury is playing a few tricks! Until the 11th, your flair guides you towards people likely to share the pleasures of life with you. From the 25th onwards, you’ll have extraordinary powers of seduction.

2nd decan: on the 5th, a dissonant moon: disappointment. You’ve laid your cards on the table without hiding anything, but next time you won’t be satisfied with lukewarm sentiments and shallow signs of friendship.

3rd decan: Neptune metamorphoses your dreams into reality. An magnetic attraction? Watch out on the twelfth stroke of midnight: your carriage may turn back into a pumpkin and your prince, an ugly toad.

· Career/Activities/Finances

From the 10th onwards, Mars will be paying you a visit that will do you a world of good! In your exchanges you’ll find shorter is better, and this will see you placing more emphasis on action and specific plans. If you’re of a mind to change the direction of your career, modify the way you organise your work at the moment or perhaps a complete transformation, you can tell yourself that some great opportunities may be on their way. But before that, you need to knuckle down to the job in hand.

1st decan: through until the 10th you’ll have an excellent spirit of cooperation with your colleagues and associates. Ingenious ideas will open you up to new horizons to you.

2nd decan: you may find a new job or take on more responsibilities, because people will trust you. Throw yourself in wholeheartedly.

3rd decan: believe in yourself and don’t let anyone steer you off your course between the 11th and the 21st. After this, luck will smile on you financially; you’ll be highly intuitive.

· Form/Health

There will be some anxiety and impatience in the air! Of course, this will have an impact on your health. Digestive problems are to be feared, perhaps accompanied by headaches. Cut back on your food intake and do some exercise to work out your aggression.

1st decan: start taking it easy, or you might set your heart racing…nothing too serious, but you need to stop torturing yourself.

2nd decan: on the 10th, Mars enters Leo; you’ll be full of charm and all excited. Watch out, though, you’re at risk of pushing yourself too far…

3rd decan: good vitality. You’ll feel like partying, going out as much as possible and setting the bar high. You’ll have no need to dose yourself up on vitamin C.

VIRGO

1st decan: 23/08 to 1/09 * 2nd decan: 2 to 13/09 * 3rd decan: 14 to 22/09

· Love life and relationships

Venus will be supporting you throughout the month. So you can treat yourself to a few whims, nobody would hold it against you, since your charm and delights will soften even the hardest heart; you’ll have the « edge ». Love at first sight or the desire for adventure may bowl you over. If you’re in a relationship, watch out for the consequences, don’t play with fire. If you’re single, you’ll be given a choice that won’t be easy to make. Follow your heart…

1st decan: Venus and Saturn link up in earth signs. You’ll be on the receiving end of joyous affection that will be worth its weight in gold. Time is your staunch ally; count on it to strengthen the bonds.

2nd decan: people will notice you and pay you compliments. Your secret hopes may well be fulfilled. But with Mercury flitting from pillar to post, you’ll be busy gathering nectar without asking yourself too many questions.

3rd decan: Jupiter and Mars, followed by Venus will be heating up your decan. But your heart is so cold, anaesthetised almost. Good idea: a romantic getaway might help you rediscover the passion of your early days!

· Work/Activities/Finances

An amazing planetary constellation in harmony with your desires. Basically, you’ll have the benefit of some weighty support: the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn! This is what is going to bring you potential opportunities in several, varied areas. Don’t be surprised if you receive an offer that sets you centre stage. All the more so if Saturn gets involved in the mix, and brings its rigour and solidity to everything you undertake.

1st decan: you can expect to get some personal or financial satisfaction. If you’re on a training course, you’ll get great results.

2nd decan: if you don’t like the situation you’re in, you can leave it behind you, or start something new, if you’re looking for work. Don’t allow yourself to be financially duped.

3rd decan: luck in games of chance does exist, if you believe in it. An opportunity becomes clearer after the 18th. And, your intuition is heightened. Be on the lookout for signs and follow your gut instincts.

· Form/Health

With determination and stamina, you’ll always be first in line. You just need to hope you can stay the course, which will be more likely if you don’t push yourself too far. And in view of the power of the planetary forces this month, it’s highly unlikely you’ll be taking the path of wisdom and level-headedness.

1st decan: you absolutely must get some fresh air because you’re tending to become overwhelmed by your overexcited nerves. Repeat this affirmation to yourself: « A liberated mind hits the health jackpot »

2nd decan: Venus in Taurus, a friendly sign, is inciting you to put the emphasis on your sensuality. Dare to have your hair cut in a new style, and inject a little fantasy into your outfits. It’s a mood-lifter.

3rd decan: on the 10th, Mars comes back into Leo. You’ll be on sparkling form, leaving all your worries behind you, feeling secure and with both feet firmly on the ground.

· Love life and Relationships

Stars under the auspices of Venus can bring nothing but good. Your enthusiasm and youthful determination overcome any obstacle, including the most extreme situations and the gloomiest minds. Nothing will be able to stand in your way because basically, nothing will really get under your skin. You’ll be a million miles away from all the little daily hassles and gossip…you’ll feel you have better things to do and you’ll be absolutely right. Your colleagues and friends will both enjoy your company and your mood. In fact, you’ll cheer them up with your confidence and laid-back attitude.

1st decan: Venus is dancing a divine ballet in your stars this May. Is it an indication of an irresistible and passionate attraction? Work may well provide the backdrop.

2nd decan: Mercury in a friendly sign opens up your horizons. There’s a lot to discover, life is a big playing field where you can play some pretty good love games. So be happy!

3rd decan: an encounter grips you body and soul. Neptune catches you in its net but, thanks to Mercury, you keep your feet on the ground. From the 17th onwards, be on your maximum guard.

· Career/Activities/Finances

The combination of the influences of Mercury and Mars is a very profitable one for you. Your determination, and your intellectual and physical agility will amaze. In fact, you’ll command respect quite naturally, since nobody will have anything to reproach you for and it will be clear to all that there’s no point in picking a fight with you, since you will remain quite implacable. Make the most of the 15th, 16th and 17th to show what you’re capable of, and stand up for your beliefs because your words will take root and may bear their fruits.

1st decan: lucky opportunities for social expansion from the 5th onwards. Your circle of friends will be broadened. If you put your mind to it, your success is guaranteed. An expense will be incurred on the 20th.

2nd decan: you don’t like the way things are going for you? Now’s the time to analyse things and take the appropriate steps. React, you won’t regret it!

3rd decan: if you’re involved in any legal proceedings, you’re set to win your case. The resulting financial damages will allow you to set your plans in motion.

2nd decan: Mercury in the sign of Gemini is as good as can be for your mood, and so for your health too.

SCORPIO

1st decan: 23/10 to 2/11 * 2nd decan: 3 to 11/11 * 3rd decan: 12 to 21/11

· Love Life and Relationships

The Sun-Venus duo is facing you head-on! Now’s the time take a good, hard look at yourself, acknowledge your faults, your excesses, perhaps even your wrongs against some of your friends…Perhaps you’ve been taking things a bit too far recently, and it would be a good idea to adopt a more positive attitude. Your partner will, once again, understand where you’re coming from, but don’t expect him to be thrilled about it all the same. Elsewhere, one of your friends may be harbouring bad feelings about you. It’s up to you to find the right words to calm them down.

1st decan: Mercury in Gemini will make your conversation fluid. You’ll have just the right words to describe your emotions and facilitate your exchanges. Venus in Taurus will reignite your powers of seduction and magnetism.

2nd decan: Mars has taken up its throne in Leo, making you shine. An affair entered into without too much thought could turn into a more serious relationship. You’ll come out of this gamble without losing your clarity of mind.

3rd decan: are your partners little foibles driving you mad? It’s the new moon of the 5th that’s irking you. What with Mercury opposing your sign and Venus making eyes at you, May looks like being a lively month.

· Work/Activities/Finances

You’ll be able to express your authority freely. Some introspection is on the cards: you can expect to need to review some of your priorities in your current workload. This may also involve taking on more responsibilities, which you may initially struggle with. Restrictions and delays are on the cards, requiring persistent and depth on your part, as well as a clear plan of action. But these changes won’t be negative, because Jupiter, which will have a hand in all this, signals an evolution, a step forward, that can’t be taken when everything is plain sailing.

1st decan: until the 10th, take some time to think about in interview, so you can really consider the offer in great detail. Mars will push you to defend your interests.

2nd decan: until the 20th, the Sun and Venus in harmony with Jupiter will allow your efforts to be rewarded. A promotion or a cash bonus will follow soon after. If this happens, focus on communication!

3rd decan: be careful not to crow about your victory, because towards mid-May, the dissonant Venus-Neptune aspect brings disappointment or disillusion. Wait for the full Moon of the 20th to feel secure about it.

· Form/Health

You’ll have excellent stamina and will be feeling pretty much invincible; you should, however, avoid doing anything that will send your blood pressure soaring and plummeting. Make sure you don’t burn the candle at both ends and take more care of your health. You don’t listen to your body enough: look after yourself.

1st decan: Venus passing through Taurus is facing your sign. This opposition could have spelt trouble for you, but instead it will increase your love of food even more. Watch out for those unwanted inches…

2nd decan: you have so much confidence in your health you’re at risk of exhausting your energy reserves. Take care, or you may find yourself paying the consequences at a later date.

3rd decan: Mercury enters Gemini: you’ll be beset with paradoxes: intellectual stimulation and physical relaxation, moral rigour and gastronomic anarchy.

SAGITTARIUS

1st decan: 22/11 to 1/12 * 2nd decan: 2 to 11/12 * 3rd decan: 12 to 20/12

· Love Life and Relationships

The opposition of Mercury will push you centre stage. If you want recognition, your wish is about to come true! In fact, someone may ask you to play the role of judge or give your point of view in an important problem. Be careful and avoid getting too deeply involved. As for the rest, Saturn will be pitted against Mercury, so if you can keep out of the way, do…. If not, employ all your skills. Caution is advised on the 6th, 7th and 8th, because the Moon will be getting in the mix.

1st decan: the momentum of Mars in Leo corresponds to a period of growth in all directions that hold an interest for you. Are you starting out on a campaign of seduction? You’re holding the reins.

2nd decan: Mercury in the sector of love relationships triggers a positive wave you need to cultivate without delay. You’ll also feel you have the wind in your sails, and will be thirsting for discoveries and adventures.

3rd decan: Mercury is filling you with innovative ideas. A romantic trip may give you a change of scenery that will be full of surprises on a personal level.

· Career/Activities/Finances

Over the course of this month you’d do very well to watch what’s going on around you, and avoid getting involved in any of the activities that are starting up among your group of friends. Make the most of this slower, more watchful phase to consolidate your position calmly. Even more so since from the 10th onwards, when you’ll have Mars on your side. The atmosphere may become so tense you feel like ‘putting the record straight’; resist the temptation, allow the storm to blow over and steer clear of any conflict. Most importantly, don’t allow your pride or anger to get the better of you, or you’ll come out the other side empty-handed.

1st decan: a challenge will present itself. You start off impetuously and make good progress. From the new moon of the 5th onwards: agreements, contracts…everything gets tied up. It’s not out of the question that you’ll pocket a tidy sum of money.

2nd decan: with Jupiter in your sector, you have nothing to fear, except seeing all the effort you’ve invested this month rewarded with good things.

3rd decan: an excellent month that starts off with the making of successful agreements. Negotiations are easy, except towards the 21st. You’ll be moving in the right direction: your motivation and enthusiasm will be on the up.

· Form/Health

From the second half of the month onwards you’ll enjoy rude health and remarkable physical and intellectual dynamism. It’ll be difficult to keep you in your place! But, it would be wise to put your feet up and rest for five minutes every now and then.

1st decan: you have a good appetite but a rapid metabolism. You’ve got time to perfect your body before summer…You’d love to play on your physique.

2nd decan: thanks to Mars in Leo, you’ll rediscover your sparkling form; you so adore feeling invincible. Your sporting figure and charisma surface once again.

3rd decan: you’re a great gourmet, and enjoy yourself most over evenings of rich food. Don’t overburden your liver. Put an end to this sometimes rather too « chaotic » lifestyle.

CAPRICORN

1st decan: 21 to 31/12 * 2nd decan: 1st to 9/01 * 3rd decan: 10 to 20/01

· Love Life and Relationships

A period of relaxation. The Sun-Venus duo will be supporting you. The troubled atmosphere of the previous month will gradually disappear. Now’s the time for having fun with your friends and organising evenings out to get closer to them. Your partner will be amazingly supportive and their loving attention will give you reassurance that your relationship is solid, if you need it. For singletons this could be a very good period on the emotional level (the 13th and 14th in particular).

1d decan: Venus and Saturn send you their best wishes: love teams up with your pragmatism! You’ll achieve great things if you follow your intuition and if you believe a little in fairy tales.

2nd decan: Venus is on your side; if you’re seeking your alter ego, allow yourself to be led by your intuition, because now’s the time to let your inner guide take the reins. He knows the way to your heart.

3rd decan: Venus, opposing Neptune, gives you a romantic soul that may take its victims. A candlelit dinner is the best thing for times like these!

· Career/Activities/Finances

The Sun-Jupiter trigon will be making its splendid presence felt! For some of you this month could well mark the start of a new role or an important development with more responsibility to boot, or a radical change of activity sector. You’ll need to be cautious, and look carefully into the type of work that’ offered to you, because there may be bits of it you don’t like. So don’t rush in and analyse the pros and cons thoroughly before you commit yourself to anything.

1st decan: you’ll benefit from the positive influences of Venus and Saturn, and make excellent progress, although your journey is far from over. You should already be reaping some of the rewards though.

2nd decan: everything is looking up. If you’re looking for a job, you’ll have an opportunity to be taken on. If not, you’ll be remunerated for your skills. The pace of your activities will speed up.

3rd decan: this is your lucky month: Venus and Jupiter will join forces in your decan, in the sextile of Uranus. The result: luck will be doubly on your side: either through « chance », or quite simply thanks to your intuition.

· Form/Health

You’re in good health, both physically and psychologically. The Sun-Jupiter tandem is not there for nothing. But despite having the stamina, you shouldn’t push yourself too far. You do have your limits so learn to recognise them… Also, don’t go to bed too late if you want your days to run smoothly.

1st decan: Venus is appealing for a swift return to form after a rather gloomy April. The confidence you draw from your much-improved form makes everything much simpler. Look after your hair and nails in particular.

2nd decan: you can sleep peacefully, because nothing’s going to happen to you. Well-grounded, with both feet on the ground, you can take some time to have fun and eat well.

3rd decan: Venus is in trigon with Jupiter in you sector: you’ll have everything amazingly well under control and be free to do as you please over the month of May.

AQUARIUS

1er decan: 21 to 30/01 * 2nd decan: 31/01 to 8/02 * 3rd decan: 9 to 18/02

· Love Life and Relationships

The impact of the Sun and Venus, opposed by Mars, is less than conducive to a restful atmosphere with your loved ones. You’ll have trouble holding yourself in check and nothing will escape your eyes. It goes without saying that those around you will be utterly disinclined to deal with what they will see as your mood swings. This will be the source of some fairly vehement exchanges that will achieve nothing specific. Soften your pride and acknowledge your mistakes, your anger and you’ll avoid creating a bad atmosphere. If you don’t, you’ll have to deal with the consequences.

1st decan: dissonant Venus: a romantic atmosphere that’s verging on the passionate, particularly if you stand firm and refuse to climb down. This is difficult for someone as impulsive as you.

2nd decan: similar to the 1st decan. Do you need a bit of space? Don’t give in to your nostalgia for past freedoms, you need your « other half» to feel like you’re alive.

3rd decan: you’ll either throw yourself heart and soul into an all-encompassing passion, or you’ll be in a hurry to find absolute peace on a solo holiday. Either way, the month promises powerful vibrations!

· Career/Activities/Finances

The trigon of Mercury and the opposition of Mars will help you plan your next step. This planetary duo will bring accuracy and precision to your ideas. Neptune, still present in your sign, will give you the little boost that will make all the difference with the others; at times you’ll feel favoured…Whatever happens this will be a very constructive month, but don’t expect immediate rewards. Everything will come in time…don’t stamp your feet with impatience.

1st decan: you’ll harvest the fruits of your work in February, which will give you the chance to take a step back and work out, depending on the results, whether to continue in pursuit of your goal or change tactics.

2nd decan: the new moon of the 5th is decisive. You become aware of a problem and around the 10th, you react to defend your interests, leading you to enter into agreements.

3rd decan: from the 10th onwards, you’ll emerge from a stressful period that has sorely tested your nerves. If you can, take some time off before getting back into the fray, because there are busy times to come.

· Form/Health

The promise of sunny days to come brings solace for your heart and your mood rises accordingly; you’ll have the wind in your sails. Relax at the weekends or, if you can, organise a short trip to the country or the seaside for a change of air and scenery!

1st decan: Mars and Mercury will help you take yourself in hand. It’s time to do some sport, without falling into the temptation of exhausting excess.

2nd decan: you’re feeling rather fragile and will be vulnerable to allergies. Venus impels you to make an appointment with a specialist and try a homeopathic remedy.

3rd decan: Jupiter in Capricorn becomes recessive. You’ll need to follow their instructions to the letter, or fatigue may strike. Find yourself some time to relax.

PISCES

1st decan: 19 to 29/02 * 2nd decan: 1 to 9/03 * 3rd decan: 10 to 20/03

· Love Life and Relationships

You are going have some significant encounters, one of which will definitely have a lasting impact. Singletons could even meet the love of their life! Those who are involved in projects, this could mean constructive talks in this direction this month, making it possible to plan for financial developments. Be prudent, however. Before you commit yourself, find out more information about the other party.

1st decan: Venus is in the Taurean sextile of your decan: this is pretty solid. Few will dare to say no to you.

2nd decan: up until the 28th, Mercury will inject some fantasy into your declarations of love and put just the right words in your mouth to express your emotions. You’ll spoil yourself.

3rd decan: you won’t lack volunteers to follow your whims. Nor will you have any trouble consolidating your relationship and even planning the future.

· Career/Activities/Finances

You’ve followed instructions and are truly committed to seeing your ambitions through to the end. But seeing as you’re neither a warrior nor a social climber, there are those who have no shame in putting a spoke in the wheels to get one over on you. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down and set those who are disrespecting you in their place. Show them you do have what it takes when the situation arises. Being made a fool of is certainly not one of your objectives…

1er decan: up until the 10th the atmosphere will be riddled with upset, and you may be accused of having made a mistake. This is followed by excellent energy for initiatives. Your finances are on the up.

2ème decan: you are truly determined to show what you’re capable of and this may yield you a personal or job-related success or a windfall. Between the 10th and the 22nd, communication problems.

3rd decan: at the start of the month, agreement is signed. A new job, a new project generating extra income. Luck is with you, so innovate and make your presence felt!

· Form/Health

You won’t be able to bear waiting. But watch out for crises of impatience that will very swiftly have an impact on your nervous system. Have you thought about trying yoga or tai chi? Learning to breathe will help you to release your tensions, which will be a good thing for you and those around you. You’ll tend to snack; try to eat more at mealtimes, which will be better for your health.

1st decan: Venus brings you a surplus of stability that will make sure nobody can manipulate or push you around.

2nd decan: Saturn is urging you to instil some discipline. Keep a healthy lifestyle, without becoming obsessive about it. Pleasure, not frustration.

3rd decan: Jupiter withdraws into the sextile of your decan and Mercury is not at its best. A word of advice: retreat into your shell and wait for conditions to improve.

WORDS.... and SILENCE

2008-04-04T14:27:00.001+02:00

Words are thoughts and emotions expressed verballyLes paroles sont des pensées et des émotions exprimées verbalement ; for this reason, it is desirable and profitableà ce titre, il est souhaitable et profitable to speakde parler thoughtfully à bon escient.

Why do you need to pay attention to your wordsPourquoi faut-il faire attention à votre parole ? ...

Because like thoughts, words are a Parce qu'à l'instar de la pensée, la parole est une magic keyclé magique with a creative powerqui possède un pouvoir créateur. This creative power belongs to youCe pouvoir créateur vous appartient en propre ; it is a gift that comes to you direct from c'est un cadeau qui vous vient directement de DieuGod. This truth is stated very clearly in the Bible Cette vérité est d'ailleurs clairement énoncée dans la Bible about the à propos de la Creéation of the Universede l'Univers :

“"In the beginning was the WordAu commencement était la Parole,
and the Word was with Godet la Parole était avec Dieu, and the Word was God.”et la Parole était Dieu".

Yes, the word truly allows you to express your creative powerOui, la parole est véritablement ce qui permet d'exprimer votre pouvoir créateur. It’s through words that you manifest thingsC'est par elle que vous manifestez les choses : however you say thingsquelle que soit votre façon de parler, your intention is shown through your wordsvotre intention se manifeste par la parole. Your words show what you dream about, what you feel and who you truly areCe dont vous rêvez, ce que vous sentez et ce que vous êtes vraiment, tout cela se manifeste par la parole.

We have become so used to trivialising the way we speak that it seems surprising that words can really be a source of powerNous avons tellement pris l'habitude de galvauder notre façon de parler qu'il semble surprenant que la parole puisse être réellement une source de pouvoir. When a thought is spokenLorsque la pensée est exprimée oralement, its energy is son énergie est turbochargedsurmultipliée, so that its power grows a lotce qui augmente considérablement sa puissance. Physical vibratory energy is added to the significance of the words, and this even applies to a simple whisperA la signification des mots s'ajoute l'énergie vibratoire purement physique, et ce même s'il s'agit d'un simple chuchotement. These vibrations also act effectively, if not more, when we speak in a language that is unknown to usCes vibrations agissent tout aussi efficacement, sinon plus, lorsqu'on s'exprime dans une langue qui nous est inconnue.

Like thoughts, words act, not just on people and animals, but also on plants, natural elements, elementary substances, objects and events, and in an extremely precise wayComme la pensée, la parole agit, non seulement sur les hommes et sur les animaux, mais aussi sur les plantes, les éléments naturels, les substances élémentaires, les objets et les événements, et de manière extrêmement précise.

It’s not a question of being an ability reserved for certain people or intervening at special momentsIl ne s'agit pas d'une faculté réservée à quelques personnes ou intervenant à des moments spéciaux ; it is natural and systematicelle est naturelle et systématique. In other wordsAutrement dit, when you speak, and no matter what you saylorsque vous parlez, et quoi que vous disiez, you really act on all parts of your environment and, especially, vous agissez réellement sur tout votre environnement et, surtout, on yourselfsur vous-même, on your body as much as your mindsur votre corps comme sur votre esprit.

If in everyday life ill-informed people do not realise thisSi dans la vie courante les personnes non averties ne s'en rendent pas compte, it is because most of them speak too muchc'est que la plupart d'entre elles parlent beaucoup, and especiallyet surtout, emit unclearly their judgments, desires and contradictory feelingsémettent indistinctement des jugements, des désirs, des sentiments contradictoires.

This makes it impossible for them to distinguish the direct consequences of their wordsDe sorte qu'il leur est impossible de distinguer ce qui est la conséquence directe de leurs paroles. What’s more, most people often only repeat ideas that they have heard, without really “digesting” themD'ailleurs, la plupart des gens ne font souvent que répéter des idées entendues ici ou là, sans les avoir réellement "digérées".

So you see that a word is not just a sound or a written symbolVous voyez donc que la parole n'est pas seulement un son ou un symbole écrit. It is a powerC'est une force ; it represents your capacity to express yourself and communicateelle représente votre capacité à vous exprimer et à communiquer, to think and à penser et thus to make events happen in your lifedonc à créer les événements de votre vie.

The word is your most powerful tool as a human being: it is a magical instrumentLa parole est votre outil le plus puissant en tant qu'être humain : c'est un instrument magique. Depending on the way that it is used, the word can free you or control you more than you can imagineSelon la façon dont elle est utilisée, la parole peut vous libérer ou vous asservir plus que vous ne l'imaginez. Like a double-edged sword, your word can create the most beautiful dreams, of beauty, love, paradise, but bad usage can destroy everything around youComme une lame à double tranchant, votre parole peut créer les rêves les plus beaux, la beauté, l'amour, le paradis, mais son mauvais usage peut tout détruire autour de vous.

So, in the mouth of a lawyer for a noble causeAinsi, dans la bouche d'un avocat au service d'une cause noble, the word can protect the rights of citizens and even save people from iniquityla parole peut préserver les droits des citoyens et même sauver des personnes de l'iniquité. While in the mouth of a manipulative tyrantTandis que dans la bouche d'un tyran manipulateur, the word has the power of stirring the fears of an entire nationde réveiller les peurs de toute une nation and leading it into war et la conduire à la guerre ! For example, think of the lead-up to World War IISongez par exemple aux circonstances qui ont conduit à la seconde guerre mondiale …

The human mind is similar to a piece of fertile ground in which seeds are continuously sownL'esprit humain est semblable à une terre fertile dans laquelle des graines sont continuellement semées : ideas, des idées, des opinions and et des cconcepts. You plant a seedVous plantez une graine (, a thought) and it une pensée et elle croîtgrows – but, malheureusementunfortunately, il s'avère souventit often proves very fertile for seeds of fear too très fertile pour les semences de la peur.

A fear or doubt sown in our mind can create a dramatic series of eventsUne peur, un doute semés dans notre esprit peuvent créer une succession dramatique d'événements … You only have to be a bit observant to notice that someone you are speaking to can be “blocked” by a simple word orIl suffit d'être un peu observateur pour s'apercevoir qu'un interlocuteur peut être "bloqué" par un simple mot ou une phrase, and then anything you say to him is useless et que tout ce que l'on peut lui dire ensuite est inutile and only makes things worseet ne fait qu'aggraver les choses.

This word or that phrase can have great Ce mot ou cette phrase peut avoir des conseéquences considérables ; said at the right momentprononcé à un moment sensible, it can make someone act or condition them for the rest of their lifeil peut faire agir quelqu'un ou le conditionner pour tout le reste de son existence. Truly, everybody is like a magicianEn vérité, chaque personne est comme un magicien : through their words they can cast a spell on someone or liberate thempar sa parole, elle peut soit jeter un sort à quelqu'un, soit l'en libérer.

Exaemples : I see a friend and voice an opinion to himJe vois un ami et lui fais part d'une opinion :
“"Oh you look mad at the tu as mauvaise mine en ce momentmoment ! You look like someone who has got cancer”La couleur de ton visage est celle des gens qui ont le cancer". If he listens to these words and if he S'il écoute cette parole et s'il est d'agreesccord with themavec, he will have cancer in less than a yearaura un cancer dans moins d'un an. Telle est la puissance de la paroleThat is the power of words.

Someone saidQuelqu'un dit : “"Look how ugly that girl isRegarde cette fille comme elle est moche !”". The girl hears this, believes that she is ugly and lets the idea that she is not pretty grow in herLa fille en question entend cela, croît qu'elle est laide et grandit avec l'idée qu'elle n'est pas belle. It doesn’t matter whether she is or notPeu importe qu'elle le soit ou non, as long as she tant qu'elle est d'agreesccord with this avec cette opinion, she will believe that she is uglyelle croira qu'elle est laide -– she will fall under the influence of a spellelle subit l'influence d'un sort.

One day, someone else grabs her attention and by his words makes her discover that she is not uglyUn jour, quelqu'un d'autre capte son attention et par sa parole lui fait découvrir qu'elle n'est pas laide. She believes this person, and as a resultElle croît cette personne, résultat : she doesn’t act as if she is ugly any moreelle n'agit plus comme si elle se sentait laide ; the spell is broken by just the power of wordsun sort est rompu par la seule puissance de la parole.

For all these reasonsPour toutes ces raisons, it is better to think before speakingil est préférable de réfléchir avant de parler. The sayingL'adage qui recommande de “think long and hard before speaking” proves its worth"tourner sept fois sa langue dans sa bouche avant de parler" prend ici toute sa valeur here.

Using a word suitably also implies not dismissing yourself, not judging or criticising yourself in the language you usetiliser convenablement la parole implique aussi de ne pas se rejeter soi-même, de ne pas se juger ou se critiquer à travers le langage employé. In other wordsAutrement dit, don’t use your words against yourselfn'utilisez pas votre parole contre vous.

This also applies to others, obviouslyCela inclus aussi autrui, bien évidemment. If, for example, Si, par exemple, you meet someone who particularly annoys you, and you treat him like an idiotvous rencontrez une personne qui vous déplait particulièrement et que vous la traitez d'imbécile (even just in your mindmême "mentalement" dans votre tête), it looks like you are using your words against himon pourrait croire que vous vous servez de la parole contre elle.

But actuallyMais en réalité, you are using your words against yourselfvous l'utilisez contre vous, because this person is going to hate you and his hatred will not do you any goodcar cette personne va vous détester et sa haine ne vous fera aucun bien. So, if you make yourself angry and you put that emotional poison into words towards himDonc, si vous vous mettez en colère et que vous lui envoyez votre poison émotionnel par la parole, you are in fact using your words against yourselfvous l'utilisez en fait contre vous-même.

Conversely, if you like yourselfA l'inverse, si vous vous aimez, you will strongly express this love in your dealing with other people and your words will then be vous exprimerez forcément cet amour dans vos interactions avec autrui et votre parole alors sera honestvraie, because this way of behaving will produce a similar reactioncar cette manière d'agir produira une réaction similaire. If you like other people, they will like youSi vous aimez les autres, les autres vous aimeront. If you insult themSi vous les insultez, they will insult youils vous insulteront. If you are egotistical with them, they will be the same with youSi vous êtes égoïste avec eux, ils le seront avec vous. If you use your words to “cast a spell” then you will also be cursedSi vous utilisez votre parole pour "jeter un sort", on vous en jettera aussi. And so onEt ainsi de suite …

Speaking honestly does not mean using words to slander, criticize, blame, destroy, nor does it mean spreading emotional poison by expressing anger, jealousy, envy or hateAvoir une parole vraie, ce n'est pas l'utiliser pour médire, critiquer, culpabiliser, détruire, répandre du poison émotionnel en exprimant la colère, la jalousie, l'envie ou la haine. Speaking the truth is a good usage of your energyAvoir une parole vraie, c'est faire un bon usage de votre énergie , it means that you will aim it in the direction of truth and love of yourselfcela signifie que vous l'utilisez dans le sens de la vérité et de l'amour de vous-même.

Don’t create chaos through your wordsNe créez pas le chaos par la parole ; understand that using words to stir up discontent between people, families, nations or different races, creates and perpetuates a hellish nightmarecomprenez que se servir des mots pour attiser la discorde entre personnes, familles, nations ou races différentes, c'est créer et perpétuer un cauchemar d'enfer. So don’t make slander your main form of Ne faites donc pas de la médisance votre principale forme de communication.

Think honestly about the number of times that you have bad-mouthed a loved one, for the sole purpose of getting others to share your point of view. au nombre de fois où vous avez médit de la personne qui vous est la plus chère, dans le seul but que les autres soutiennent votre point de vue.

To use words wellPour un bon usage de la parole, follow these few simple rulesobservez ces quelques règles simples, inen particulaier in your everyday dealings with otherslors de vos interactions quotidiennes avec autrui :

- Don’t use your words against yourselfN'utilisez pas votre parole contre vous (self-deénigrationement de soi-même, criticism, blame, que, culpabilité, shame, reproachhonte, reproches, etc.).

- Use the simplest words possibleSimplifiez au maximum votre langage. Also be as concise and precise as possibleSoyez aussi concis et précis que possible, and do not use words or n'employez pas des mots ou des expressions that you don’t understand the meaning ofdont vous ne connaissez pas le sens, because this will make your mind a little less clearcela a pour effet d'assombrir un peu plus la clarté de votre esprit.

- Do not back biteNe soyez pas médisant. This is the worst form of emotional poison whose negative energy will certainly bounce back on youC'est la pire forme de poison émotionnel dont l'énergie négative vous atteindra inéluctablement en retour : it will return to curse youcela revient à vous "jeter un sort" à vous-même !

- NeverNe share opinions on people that you don’t knowformulez jamais d'opinions sur des personnes que vous ne connaissez pas.

By following these rules, you will progressively eliminate all the emotional poison from your mind and from your personal relationshipsEn respectant ces règles, vous éliminerez progressivement tout poison émotionnel de votre esprit et de vos relations personnelles. Your words will then be purified and become powerful and relevantVotre parole va alors s'épurer et devenir puissante, pertinente … and et magicque ! You will also be immunised against all the negative wishes coming from other peopleEn outre, vous serez immunisé contre tous les sorts négatifs provenant d'autrui.

You can evaluate your degree of Vous pouvez évaluer votre degré de “fair and honest word” "parole juste et vraie" according to the love that you have for yourselfselonà l'aulne de ll'amour que vous avez pour vous-même. The intensity of love for yourself and the feelings that you have about yourself are directly proportional to the quality and the integrity of your wordL'intensité de votre amour-propre et les sentiments que vous nourrissez envers vous sont directement proportionnels à la qualité et à l'intégrité de votre parole.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LUCK

2008-04-02T16:19:00.000+02:00

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LUCK

I have often noticed that when some people compare what they are getting out of life with the more favourable results obtained by other people, they come to the conclusion that they "never have any luck". And it's true that this impression can be depressing, if the person in question starts to think that some people are blessed by fate and owe their success to some kind of mysterious influence which they themselves don't have.

But in fact, everyone has some luck in certain areas and none in others. The old proverb which says "Lucky at cards, unlucky in love" is a true reflection of what actually happens in life.

What we call "pure luck" always results from having the correct, appropriate attitude to life (in your thoughts and deeds). It is a kind of "reward" for being in accord, in phase, in harmony with Universal Cosmic Energy. In the occult and esoteric world, this is called "karmic recompense".

In reality, Luck/Success is intrinsically linked to the quality of human relations.

LUCK ONLY REALLY EXISTS IN A SOCIAL CONTEXT!

Imagine that after some terrible catastrophe, the entire human race was wiped out except for one sole remaining man. The problem of being lucky would not really concern him and his aspirations would simply be to feed himself, to survive in good health and avoid physical pain!
If by chance he met up with a few other individuals who had escaped the cataclysm like himself, luck would be important to him again: how to get himself accepted by the group, play a role in it, gain his rightful share of everything by disputing other people's greed, etc...

I really must emphasise this point. Bad luck often results from a bad attitude, socially. It is obvious, looking at this example alone, that a person's behaviour towards the group to which he belongs, and his usefulness to it, will govern his luck to a very large extent.

Great misfortunes often result from the environment: if a nation is economically weak and therefore impoverished, this makes it difficult for most of the individuals belonging to it to be successful. Events like social unrest and war, which we witness in our era, can ruin the most promising enterprises overnight. Age and infirmity are unimportant except for the reactions they provoke in other people!

So, "no man is an island", he is part of the social structure, and it's mainly in this context that I'm going to give you some tips for improving your luck.

The right attitude for attracting luck

It's to everyone's advantage to try to develop certain social qualities. There are in fact 24 of them which will have a great influence on your success.

Some of them, which are highly favourable to financial success, are among the esoteric Secrets mentioned in previous chapters. I have briefly summarised them for you, to clearly indicate their significance.

1. - BE SELECTIVE

Don't pursue several aims at the same time, especially if they clash. Devote your attention to your primary objective. Choose between: love, money, stability, fame, etc.
Unless you already have a very advanced understanding of Universal Cosmic Energy, you can't deal with them all; it's best to select one or another.

2. - BE USEFUL

Nothing succeeds unless it clearly serves collective interests and is therefore useful. Sharing your talents and being helpful is an infallible guarantee of success.

3. - BE COMPETENT

This is one of the best ways of fighting off the competition and winning contracts. No-one would argue with this rule. A lack of competence leads to need and poverty, at least in the long run.

4. - TAKE AN INTEREST IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING

Even if your job or activity is only a temporary occupation, you are unlikely to achieve your ultimate goal unless you commit yourself fully to your current task. It will be hard to get good results in the future, if you don't get into the habit of working with interest right now.

5. - BE FAIR

Don't just look after your own interests. It's no good wanting to receive without giving anything in return. Don't keep everything for yourself, but don't give it all away either. Try to maintain an even balance.

6. - KEEP YOUR WORD

You can only succeed if you inspire confidence, and you will never inspire confidence unless you are true to your word.

7. - BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU SAY

When you are dealing with other people, they can instinctively tell whether or not you believe in what you are saying. If you yourself are not convinced, you won't be able to get them to do the things you want them to, no matter how hard you try.

8. - BE PERSUASIVE

If you are competent and convinced, you only need to make a bit of effort to share your ideas. You will definitely have to fight to succeed, but you can learn to do this.

9. - BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR AIMS

Don't keep changing your opinions or objectives, don't give up at the first hurdle. Choose something and stick to it firmly.

10. - USE YOUR TIME WELL

Don't waste your time: this is one of the secrets of success! Don't attempt things which are impossible in the time available. Don't fritter away your time on things which don't matter. Allow just the right amount of time for each thing.

11. - USE YOUR MONEY WELL

Regard money as a means, and not an end. It is a means of action and should be used very carefully like a precious tool.
Be fully conscious of its value and regard it as a bargaining chip.
Make no mistake: when you "buy" something with money, you are in fact exchanging this money for a piece of work, a service, a skill, sweat and toil.
Having money gives you no right to be arrogant and to despise those who for some reason don't have any. There is a difference between possessing money and allowing yourself to be possessed by money!
Similarly, to succeed you need to have a keen sense of values. You need to understand that other people will only donate their time, money or friendship if they receive something worthwhile in exchange. You need to offer something of value in any kind of transaction: (business, emotional, etc.).

12. - LEARN TO OBSERVE AND ANALYSE

You can profit from your mistakes, if you know how to observe and analyse. And you will only be able to reproduce a success if you have carefully noted all the factors which contributed to it.

13. - LEARN TO CONCENTRATE

Focus intently on one thing at a time. Let me emphasise this point once more: good powers of concentration are extremely valuable.

14. - VISUALISE SUCCESS

Any achievement begins life as a clear vision in your mind. Without visualisation, there would be no works of art, no monuments, no machines, not even simple love.

15. - THINK AHEAD

You will never be caught out if you plan an alternative solution in case of problems.

16. - MAKE A DETAILED PLAN

Don't expect miracles, expect things to take their natural course. Look for gradual success, and outline each successive step.

17. - GET ORGANISED

Make your work fruitful, use effective methods, tools, people.

18. - BE DARING

Leap into action when the times comes - don't procrastinate.

19. - KEEP TRYING

It's unusual to succeed straight off, or to succeed every time. You will waste all your initial efforts if you don't keep trying, in spite of how bad things may seem.

20. - WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT

Don't embark on anything at an unfavourable time. Learn how to wait for an opportune moment when you have all the resources you need.

21. - BANISH YOUR WORRIES

If you allow yourself to be dominated by worries, you will be unconsciously nourishing them with your own strength. You must learn how to "put them in the bin" and forget about them.

22. - SHOW INTEREST IN OTHER PEOPLE

Show interest in the people around you, even the most humble. Try to succeed as much for them as for yourself. Put yourself out for other people. It's impossible to succeed alone, you can only succeed through and for others.
Successful people show an interest in others. If someone is talking to you about themselves, their family, their health, and you don't seem to be paying attention or are obviously bored and immediately try to turn the conversation around to yourself... you will appear indifferent to other people and this can be very detrimental in important situations in life.

23. - FIND TRUE FRIENDS

Success only lasts in certain circumstances. One essential condition for success is that you should be blossoming in a climate of friendship and understanding. If you observe successful people, you will often notice that they have faithful friends who support them. And the fundamental reason for this is that they give their friends as much pleasure and help as they receive from them.

24 - HAVE THE WILL TO SUCCEED

This factor may be sufficient in itself, in spite of adverse circumstances. It synthesises many other qualities and "crystallises" the infinite power of Universal Energy for your benefit. This feeling must be very deeply rooted inside you.

Learn to identify the qualities you are lacking. They may vary over time. If necessary, don't hesitate to consult the people who know you, and in whom you can have complete trust. How do THEY see you? It's sometimes difficult to be objective about yourself.

First of all, decide which is the biggest deficiency preventing you from achieving your objectives. Then decide on the second most serious, and so on, until you have put them in order of importance.

Choose the three most significant failings you would like to work on.
Lets take an example. Let's suppose that you are not very good at doing the following things: being selective - showing an interest in other people - being persuasive.

Take the first quality and give yourself a week to develop it. For seven days, you are going to strive to banish from your imagination any desires which sidetrack you from the sensible objective you have set yourself. After a week, move on to the second quality, regardless of whether you have been completely successful with the first, and for the next seven days try to take a sincere interest in others, show you care about their interests, their projects, their triumphs, etc. Do the same thing for the third quality: train yourself to express yourself clearly, present your arguments well, assert your viewpoints and opinions, etc.

I can tell you that if you do this, you will start to achieve more, right from your very first efforts in the first few days. And as soon as the few weeks required have gone by, you will see success taking shape.

And don't give up!
At the end of your "training", go back over your "deficiencies" which still need correcting, and any new ones which might have arisen from an excessive zeal in modifying your behaviour.
If you apply this simple method, you will be able to significantly improve your social behaviour, without any great effort or strenuous exercises - just by paying a bit more attention to the factors of success you are weak on.
A few Luck-bringing "techniques"

IT'S ESSENTIAL TO SLEEP WELL

According to the many observations which have been made, you can really improve your chances of success through sleep.
This isn't as paradoxical as it first seems, because lots of evidence and even proverbs prove this point. Proverbs condense observations made over thousands of years. These "pearls of wisdom" crystallise the experiences of past generations and so they are just as worthy of interest as the most scientific surveys and statistics (if not more so).

As regards the intrinsic value of sleep, and its relationship with good fortune, there is an old French proverb which says:

"Wealth comes with sleep" (La fortune vient en dormant).

And although proverbs may contradict each other on other subjects, traditional wisdom always emphasises the benefits of sleep:

"Sleep is better than medicine"
"The beginning of health is sleep"
"Sleep on it".

I myself have noticed that some individuals develop an overpowering desire to sleep in times of great difficulty, unlike others who become insomniacs.
And invariably, this prolonged rest precedes a seemingly providential unravelling of their problems.

By contrast, one of my friends who sleeps very little confessed to me that the less he sleeps the more tangled his problems become.
To judge from the experiences of many people, it would really seem that deep sleep attracts success like a magnet attracts iron, and paves the way for a return to prosperity by untangling the web of problems.

People with the gift of clairvoyance confirm that during sleep (provided it is long and deep), the human mind awakens on the causal plane (the plane which is directly linked to Universal Energy, on which our "karma" manifests itself). The mind doesn't remember anything of this journey into the astral world on waking, but brings back a sounder judgement and sometimes some guidance.
This is obvious in the case of certain dreams, which are very intense emotionally, during which the sleeper feels he is being "guided" (by those he might call his Guardian Angels). Sometimes, this is the origin of particularly successful and beneficial initiatives in the material world.

. Do your own survey

You can assess the connection between sleep and luck for yourself, by noting the events which occur in your own personal life and the lives of your loved-ones, depending on how much you are sleeping. You can also discover when you get your most beneficial sleep: in the evening, the night, or the early morning ...

There is another old proverb which says "One hour's sleep before midnight is worth two after", and indeed this is the best time for recharging your batteries with high quality energy.
You should also observe the following rules:

- Only use your bed to sleep in.
- Don't eat in bed, or watch television or smoke - just sleep.
- Make the room as dark as possible.
- Eat your last meal of the day at least 3 hours before going to bed.

COLOURS AND LUCK

The influence of colour

Although you may not be aware of it, light influences your state of health, your mental reactions, your behaviour, and as an indirect consequence, the state of your finances.

This light, quintessence of the sun, centre of our solar system, changes depending on the environment where you live. It is altered by atmospheric conditions and the brightness inside buildings varies too.

This means that, again without you knowing it, you may be slightly or seriously deprived of the light you need. You could also be affected by a distortion of the light spectrum, caused by the colour of the wall coverings, furniture and objects surrounding you.
The light spectrum is broken up into rays which colour surfaces in characteristic fashion. It's probably no surprise that certain colours can be beneficial to you, and make up for the lack of light you might be forced to endure.
You know that there are many different aspects to human life (love, health, money, protection, etc.). And in fact each of these aspects is linked to an etheric current, a kind of "stream" which circulates in the Universe (whose source is the reservoir-ocean of Universal Cosmic Energy which permeates all Creation) and which everyone can tap into ... if they make the necessary effort. But how?

Each of these currents is linked to a colour.

A simple way to "plug into" the etheric current linked to the Money sector is to use the colour associated with it: APPLE GREEN.

So how do you do this?
If you want to improve your pecuniary situation, buy yourself a little tablet of apple green paint, which you can easily find in paint boxes for artists or school children.

Every evening, at a time when you are alone and at peace, place this little block of colour on a sheet of white paper in front of you and gaze at it, contemplate it, trying to impregnate yourself with the current from this colour, with the force this colour represents.

Don't spend too long on this contemplation: two minutes is sufficient, five minutes is about average, ten minutes is the maximum beyond which you will get tired and nullify all the effects.
After this, close your eyes and ask for what you want in relation to your finances. Do this every day for four to eight weeks.

You'll start to notice some initial effects in the first few days: you will spend less, your money will go further, you will notice more advantageous prices.
Then various opportunities will come your way, either to be better appreciated in your current position, or to meet people who need you and are prepared to pay you well.
Within two months, or three months at the most, you will have achieved the desired effect. At this point, stop doing this exercise every day, because you don't want to keep changing your situation. Abandon the exercises and concentrate on really consolidating what you have achieved.

Don't think that you have appropriated something that wasn't owing to you. On the contrary, the exercises you have performed took some effort and so you deserve whatever you receive. But now you need to get your results on a really firm footing, and to do this you should act normally, i.e. provide the services people are paying you for.

You can also boost the effects of your exercises using the energy of this colour:

- either by placing apple green objects in your everyday environment
- or by wearing this colour (scarf, handkerchief, etc.)
- or by placing disks of coloured paper on the wall at the head of your bed
- or by placing little disks of coloured paper in your wallet or handbag, close to any personal identification.

GEMS AND LUCK

Right through the ages, man has (rightly) attributed magic properties to stones (precious or otherwise) extracted from the earth, and has used them as talismans.

Certain stones have the power to "correct" an adverse circulation of etheric currents, which can sometimes cause health or money problems for certain people.
These gems "neutralise" harmful waves and "regulate" the circulation of Universal Energy.

Without going into lots of esoteric considerations, the complexity of which might put you off, it's nevertheless useful for you to know that the following gems are particularly good for encouraging money to flow into your life, and establishing a better link with the "money-energy".
Some of them also protect you against subconscious autosuggestion, which ends up producing a negative aura (superstition, a feeling of hate or jealousy, indifference to the present) which tends to generate persistent bad luck.
(The aura is a kind of "envelope of energy" which surrounds every living being; the electro-magnetic field it creates).

. OPAL

Favours good client relations, dreams, the free expression of emotions. Helps to fight infections because it stimulates the production of white blood cells.

You can find opals of different colours in the shops. The Fire Opal (an almost fluorescent yellow to red) is a stone which gives you enthusiasm, hope and faith in the future.
Opal is not very resistant to perfume or make-up. As it is composed of up to 30% water, you should avoid leaving it in a very dry place, because it could dry out and crack.

. JASPER

Protects you in all circumstances. All Jasper stones are good for stabilising your aura and purifying it of any negative energies which may have accumulated. Red-tinged Jasper helps you to take the right decisions to move forward.

. AQUAMARINE

Very beneficial: very positive effect on the eighth quality mentioned earlier (persuasiveness), facilitates verbal communication, helps you to listen (to yourself and others). Also soothes toothache.

. GOLDEN TOPAZ

Magnetises your aura so that you can attract money more easily. It harmonises relationships with other people and calms the nerves.

. OLIVINE

Favours prosperity and protects from malign influences. Gives you the energy, strength and determination to fight for your ideas. This stone promotes generosity and forgiveness and makes you more tolerant and charitable towards other people. It also helps you to see the good in other people, and to not make over-hasty judgements.

. LAPIS LAZULI

Helps you to understand your position within the Universe, boosts creativity and reveals deficiencies which makes it easier to work on your weaknesses. Harmonises with financial energies. Avoid keeping it in your bedroom overnight.

These stones can easily be found in specialist shops. They come in various shapes and sizes, polished or natural, and at very affordable prices.
You can use them just as they come (in which case keep them on you in your wallet or bag, or better still in a little pouch on your chest). Or you can have them mounted (ring, brooch, bracelet, pendant, necklace) and wear them next to your skin.
You can also hold them in the palm of your hand for a few minutes each day, or lay them on your chest or abdomen as you relax.

How to choose your stones

First decide which type(s) you need.

I would advise you to choose your stone either by feeling it in your hands or by following your intuition (each stone will have a certain effect, it will "speak" to you and address itself directly to your subconscious mind via the "vibrations" it gives off - appearance, colour, shape, brilliance, etc.). No two stones are exactly alike.

Purification

Before using a stone, it's important to purify it yourself, even if you have acquired it from a professional who has already performed a purification.
Why?
Between the moment when they left the ground and the moment when they arrive in your possession, these stones have passed through many hands, have been in lots of different environments, have been subjected to lots of differently charged auras, and all this has left an impression in their heart. And they are eager to release these energies, which may have an unpleasant effect. All stones and jewels suffer from the same phenomenon. Have you never heard of anyone talking about a piece of jewellery which seems to bring bad luck?

So to purify your stone, hold it under cold water, preferably thinking (visualising) at the time how it is discharging itself, cleansing itself of all its impurities, and how any negative forces are being absorbed into the earth and converted into positive ones.

Do this regularly. A few minutes is normally enough, but the first time you lay hands on your stone (when it is bound to be highly charged) you may need to soak it for several days (if so, use water lightly salted with rock salt).

Recharging

Gems (minerals with a crystalline structure) have a "memory"; they absorb energy charges and release others (to give you some idea, the quartz micro-crystals used in computer memories capitalise on this property).
When you wear them, they charge themselves with positive energy and discharge negative energy or they repel certain harmful waves and absorb others which are beneficial, depending on their individual properties of course.

For the best results, it's a good idea to "recharge" your stones from time to time by placing them in the sun (preferably rising) for at least half an hour or alternatively in the moonlight (preferably when the moon is rising) for one night.

HOW TO CHANNEL YOUR POSITIVE POWER TO ATTRACT SUCCESS

HOW TO CHANNEL YOUR POSITIVE
POWER TO ATTRACT SUCCESS

Practical implementation: to enable you to liberate your intuition, we are going to embark on a programme of "Psychic and Spiritual Regeneration" that will help you to "Reawaken to a new life of happiness".

Physical preparation ritual

Please perform this preparation ritual prior to any sessions involving the "Magic Spiritual Formulas".

If you can, I recommend cleansing yourself by taking a shower. The act of running water all over your body will help you to eliminate negative influences that might have attached themselves to you and your aura over the past few days.

If it's not possible to shower yourself, go and rinse your hands and forearms under fresh water from the tap. Splash your face as well. Then wipe yourself dry and drink half a glass of cold water.

Once you have completed this physical purification ritual, go and sit down in a place where you can be sure that you won't be disturbed for about half an hour.

If need be, close the curtains so that you are not distracted by the light outside. You can also create an even more intimate atmosphere by lighting a couple of candles and placing the holders in front of you on either side of the table on which you will be placing these pages containing my instructions.

You can also burn a little incense, perfumed with rose or sandalwood.

Close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply to relax yourself. Try to empty your mind. After about 2 minutes, do a deep inhalation followed immediately by a deep exhalation. Take about ten of these deep and regular breaths, without interruption.

SPECIAL PROGRAMME TO "LIBERATE" YOUR INTUITION

This first stage, that I call the "Psychic and Spiritual Regeneration" will make it possible to destroy, one after another, all the bricks in the "negative wall" that has imprisoned your intuition. It will free you from the past and it is vital to the success of this whole operation designed to bring you the happiness you so deserve.

Magic Spiritual Formula: FORGIVENESS

You have probably heard about the torment of Tantalus, the Lydian king who was sentenced by Zeus to suffer endlessly from hunger and thirst. He is often depicted tied to a post with an abundance of water and food just a few feet away.

In literature, people compare the torment of Tantalus with any ambition that is disappointed when it's close to being satisfied (this is where our word "tantalise" comes from)[1]. And this is rather like what's happening to you.

You have dreams of a better life, but you are disappointed that most of your dreams and desires are never fulfilled. Have you ever asked yourself why? Have you put it all down to bad luck or injustice?

One of the main reasons is that you are a bit like Tantalus: there are chains around you, attaching you to your past and preventing you from advancing towards a better future. Before you can enjoy this marvellous future that awaits you, we have got to free you from these chains that are holding you in the past.

A Cosmic "LAW" says:

"Whatever Man condemns in others, he attracts to himself". I know lots of people who have brought misfortune and illness on themselves by condemning others.

Forgiveness is therefore the surest way of breaking these ties to the past.

But this forgiveness should be granted not only to others but also to yourself!

By refusing to forget the "wounds" that have been inflicted on you, you are imprisoning yourself in the past. Forgiveness is the answer to the majority of your problems. You may object that "in view of what's been done to me, I can hardly see myself forgiving this person!" or perhaps "It's impossible for me to get in touch with this person" (who might have moved house or passed away). Rest assured, as far as the Universe is concerned, forgiveness also works if you send it sincerely in thought form.

If you are carrying a heavy burden of disapproval, guilt or resentment, you can free yourself from it by forgiving. From now on, refuse to live in the past. If someone has really wronged you, the Universe will take it upon itself to make them pay for it. So it's pointless to be punishing this person with your resentful attitude, because you are punishing yourself as well, by preventing yourself from advancing towards a better future.

Similarly, stop criticising yourself for the errors you have committed. These bitter feelings towards others or towards yourself eat you up inside, and can also be at the root of serious illnesses like cancer.

You have every reason, therefore, to forgive others and to forgive yourself.

Here's how to proceed, using the power of words: repeat one of these phrases every time you think about it:

"I forgive, and I am freeing myself from the past"

"I forgive myself, and I am freeing myself from the past"

"As I forgive, I am unlocking the door to the joy and happiness
that are due to me, and tasting more and more happy experiences".

I also recommend that you shut yourself away, relax, and visualise scenes in which you meet those people who have wronged you, and forgive them. And if you want to, or feel you can, why not contact the person (people) you are forgiving by letter or telephone, or arrange to meet up.

You will experience an amazing sense of inner freedom, and this will prove that you are well on the way to liberating yourself from the past.

Remember: when you forgive, or forgive yourself, the one who benefits most is you. Listen to your intuition, and it will teach you the proper way to forgive.

Your intuition is the means your Inner Guide uses to communicate with you. And it knows better than you what is right for you, and for your future.

Just by granting a sincere pardon, you will already regain some of your intuition. Always begin by forgiving in your mind - this is the simplest way, and you will see for yourself how well it works.

However you must avoid "re-building" the brick wall that has imprisoned your intuition for so long and barred you from happiness. It would be a real shame to create new "chains" which might hinder your progress towards a better life. To get there, you should also apply the 5 "Magic Spiritual Formulas" I'm going to give you below:

Magic Spiritual Formula: TOLERANCE

"It takes all sorts to make a world". You are bound to agree on this point. In spite of appearances, "criminals" are not all bad. And don't forget either that defenders of the law and morality are not all good. Learn to respect other people's opinions, even if they clash with your own. You may be different from someone else, but you are not necessarily any better or worse. Everyone is a unique individual.

Learn to respect others, as you'd like them to respect you. Try, from now on, to be more indulgent towards others.

Generally respect others for all they represent as citizens of the World.

Here are some formulas to repeat, to train yourself to be more tolerant:

I am an open and tolerant human being.

I am developing more and more respect for other people's points of view.

Everyone has the right to choose, and I happily respect that right.

I no longer expect others to rigorously share my point of view.

I am becoming less and less inclined to criticise others on the slightest pretext.
On the contrary, I am becoming more and more tolerant
over their mistakes and failures.

Magic Spiritual Formula: CIRCUMSPECTION

Circumspection is the prudence, reticence, discernment you should show in your judgements about other people.

An old Indian adage says that you cannot judge the worth or the acts of a man until you have walked in his moccasins for at least 10 days. This proverb is very pertinent: it's often difficult to understand why someone says or does a certain thing, or why they have become what they are.

If you feel tempted to make a rather hasty judgement about someone, then you should obey this other saying: "count to ten before you speak". And during this time, ask yourself how you would have reacted if you had been in that person's place, if you had been through what they have been through.

It's not a matter of excusing everybody's attitudes or mistakes, but of making a sincere effort to understand them better and, if possible, to help them to progress by passing on some of the secrets I'm revealing to you, if you feel it would be useful.

Magic Spiritual Formula: COMPASSION

What is compassion? It's a state of mind that enables us to sympathise with the suffering of others (human beings and animals too). Or it's a feeling that makes us sensitive to other people's pain. And above all, compassion implies helping others to bear their sufferings more easily.

Instead of just feeling sorry for any loved-ones who have problems, try to reassure them with your presence, your human warmth, your thoughts and words of hope and joy. Then in times of trouble, they should immediately feel comforted, and really appreciate your presence.

On the other hand, don't think that you are behaving insensitively if you refuse to share the gloom of melancholy people.

Far from it - if you refuse to dwell on the negative side of life, and make a habit of being optimistic, you will unlock the door to a happier future for others and for yourself too.

This is simply because you are applying one of the great laws of the Universe: the one that says: all the good you wish on others, you also wish on yourself!

And this is why compassion
is a great "Magic Spiritual Formula".

Of course for this law to work, you have to be totally sincere.

(Do you also see the importance of Forgiveness here? If, in the past, you have wished harm on someone who has harmed you, it's rather as though you had wished harm on yourself, which is a disaster. (You are trapping yourself in a vicious circle).

Is your greatest wish to free yourself from your sufferings, from your problems, and to live happily? Of course it is!

And it's the same for all other human beings. Just like you, they want to be happy. You have good reasons therefore to show compassion every time you get the chance to.

When you are walking down the street and meet a stranger who is suffering (someone who is injured, handicapped, poverty-stricken) share his or her pain deep inside yourself. In your mind, wish passionately that this person will get better, be lucky, find happiness and love. Do this with all the sincerity you are capable of, remembering that you are also wishing this happiness on yourself.

Here is scientific proof that what I'm telling you is true: a psychologist showed a group of students a film about the work of Mother Theresa in India. Faced with the suffering of these wretched people, the students felt real compassion. But the astonishing thing was that an analysis of their saliva, after the screening, showed that they had secreted an antibody that helps to combat lung disease.

Other studies have been carried out by other universities. It has been observed that volunteers who regularly work with others in a warm and compassionate way, gain a great deal from it themselves: their morale is better, they are enthusiastic, more aware of their own worth, have more general vitality and, it seems, a distinctly greater life expectancy.

And these are only the quantifiable physical benefits. Make a habit of showing sincere compassion in your life, and you will soon see what benefits it will bring you: peace of mind, joy, satisfaction, etc …

If you are compassionate towards others, you will help to make the world a better place, and become much more closely connected with your natural intuition. You are going to learn to sense more and more things with your heart and at the same time you will find it much easier to "feel" inside what is right or wrong for you.

Exercise No.1:

Try to remember a scene in which someone was feeling great sorrow. Try to feel in your own heart what this person was experiencing. Let all your emotions come pouring out from deep inside you. Let yourself go for two or three minutes. When you can really empathise with this person's pain in your thoughts and feelings, imagine what you would want people to say to comfort you, if you really were in this person's shoes.

Now imagine approaching this person and trying, through your actions and words, to relieve his/her suffering. Slip your arm around his/her shoulder, say something positive, something hopeful. Do this meditation exercise two or three times a week.

Exercise No. 2:

Every time you see anyone suffering (someone who is handicapped, or shunned by the world for example) silently project thoughts of love and compassion towards these wretched people. Wish that their circumstances will improve, from the very bottom of your heart.

Don't forget that the test of true compassion is the depth of emotion you feel. So if you feel the urge to, don't hesitate to offer people a few words of comfort, or at least a sincere smile and friendly "hello".

It doesn't really matter how you display it, it's the sincerity of your intentions that counts most. Give it a try and you will soon discover that the more you "give to others", the more you will receive yourself!

Formulas to repeat to train yourself to be compassionate:

It's easy for me to feel compassion for others.

Whatever compassion I feel is felt for me by the Universe.

The compassion in me is freeing me from the past,
connecting me with my intuition, and bringing me health, joy and happiness.

This is a secret that few people know:
True compassion results in intuition of the strongest and most effective kind.

Magic Spiritual Formula: GRATITUDE

Imagine this scene: you give the same present to several children, and only one of them thanks you warmly and really shows you how much pleasure you have brought. The others look rather unimpressed by what you have given them.

Who will you feel like giving a present to next time?

To the child who has thanked you warmly of course...

Would you feel inclined to keep giving to the others? Probably not!

What you must learn, is that life (the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe which is also found in you) behaves in exactly the same way with you!

What does this mean exactly?

It means, quite simply, that if you want life to give you more, you must show that you appreciate what it has already given you. Have you thanked it yet for all the riches you possess?

"What riches?" you might be tempted to ask. So let's think:

Do you suffer from a serious physical handicap?

Well good health is the greatest asset you can have!

Do you suffer from a mental handicap? No!

So you have the capacity to use the secrets I'm revealing to transform your life. And that's a second wonderful asset!

You have the ability to choose, the ability to think, the ability to regain the infinite power of your intuition so that it can guide you towards happiness.

Just spare a thought for all those who, unlike you, are not fortunate enough to be "sound in body and mind", and thank life for the wonderful gifts it has given you.

Is there a war going on in your country? So here again you are really lucky compared with lots of other humans who are suffering in various parts of the world.

Just like you no longer feel like giving to a child who does not say thank you or "turns up his nose", life is not very fond of ungrateful people who are always complaining, those who are glum, jealous, discontented, envious.

Life does not feel inclined to give them anything more. It has no desire to reward those who claim to have no luck, when they don't even appreciate the fact that they are in good health and have a standard of living that lots of truly poor nations in the world would love to have.

Do you want life to give you more?

Well stop ruining your chances by constantly complaining
about all the things you don't have compared with others!

Begin by literally counting all your blessings, and giving thanks for what you have already received. Then you may be amazed to find that new riches (spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, material) flow into your life with increasing ease.

How? Partly thanks to your intuition, which will guide you more and more towards what is right for you, towards ever more numerous strokes of luck.

From today on, thank your intuition ("Divine Inner Intelligence") too for every step forward, every improvement, every opportunity it "guides" you towards… Every sign it gives you is important, and even if it's only vague, it's a good start. It's as though life were testing your reactions to see whether you deserve to be given more.

And believe me, it will give you more if you take account of this "Law":

Every "thank you" you say, whenever the slightest opportunity arises, will have a "snowball effect".

Your positive thoughts of gratitude towards life will emit "positive vibrations" which harmonise with the "wavelength" of good fortune, of abundance in all things.

I know lots of people who have become rich (after starting out with nothing because they were born very poor) who continue to thank life every day for what it has given them, and is giving them. They have all told me that if they do this, life gives them more and more.

Formulas to repeat to condition you to receive more from life:

I thank life for everything it has given me.

I thank life for all the blessings
it has already bestowed on me,
and is preparing to bestow on me.

Magic Spiritual Formula: THE LAW OF GIVING

One of the principal "Laws of the Universe" is that the more you give (in a loving, joyful and disinterested manner), the more you receive. This universal rule makes it possible to generate Wealth and material prosperity.

Giving prepares you to receive. Whatever you give is reciprocated "with interest". Giving makes you the "Master" of money rather than its slave. When you give, money becomes your servant...

The Law of Giving demands a few little personal sacrifices but in fact, these represent "investments" because they place you in harmony with the incalculable abundance of the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe.

Giving what you hope to receive allows the riches of the Universe to flow freely through your own life.

If you refuse to give (for whatever reason) you "block" the flow of abundance in your life. If only you knew how sad it makes me when I see people being "tight-fisted"...

Quite recently, a survey was conducted for the Red Cross, by volunteers at the entrance to a supermarket. People who could visibly afford to donate at least a few coins, turned their heads away and pretended not to see. Their stony faces reflected only too well their selfish thoughts and attitude.

What a pity they didn't know how to apply the secrets I'm revealing to you, because then they would have known that by giving to this charity, they would have been bringing themselves good fortune and Prosperity into the bargain!...

This is why I'm so sad when I see people not giving, because I know that contrary to what THEY BELIEVE, this desire to hang on to and accumulate money is "blocking" the stream of riches that could flow into their lives...

This "Law of the Universe", that you could call the Law of Giving and Receiving, may strike you as strange, but you will have lots of opportunity to check it out (and don't tell me that you have nothing to give, because there are many ways of "giving", and some of them don't cost a penny).

You'll see what I mean in a moment...

You can give to good causes, or to the poverty-stricken people you see in the street. Life isn't always easy in our era, and there's no shortage of opportunities to be generous towards those who are less well off than oneself...

And the more you give, the more you will receive.

But be careful, because you should not give in a "calculating" way, to see if you get something in return. Similarly, if you have a sense of "losing something", your offering won't qualify as a true gift, and this LAW won't work in your favour for very long.

You must feel gladness in your heart when you give, and knowing you, I'm sure that you WILL be able to sincerely feel this joy of GIVING deep inside.

YOU CAN ALSO GIVE THINGS
THAT DON'T COST A PENNY!

For example, you can "donate" your time to humanitarian causes.

When you see people looking sad, "give" them your brightest smile. And in eight cases out of ten, you will get a big smile in return. In exchange for the joy you are giving, you will receive joy. You will feel good because you have brightened the day of some unknown person, and so your own day will be brightened too...

"Give" sincere compliments to the people around you (even if nobody gives any to you) and you will be invaded by a sense of happiness. Giving affection, or respect, won't cost you any money. And you will find that giving others pleasure makes you happy too. Be compassionate and give generous thoughts, wish people joy and happiness. These private, silent Gifts will have very powerful effects in your life.

So, if you are short of funds, you can still give a sincere compliment, a copy of a lovely poem you've found, a drawing you've done, a flower picked on the road-side. Then your gifts won't cost you any money, but you will still feel that you have "the means" to give.

Remember, "it's the thought that counts".

And as you inevitably receive in return, you will gain more and more faith in the amazing Power of this LAW of GIVING.

I am not going to recommend that you
implement the above Spiritual Regeneration
Programme in any particular order.

The order in which it's implemented is entirely up to you. You alone should decide which formula is best suited to the needs of the moment, depending on the emotions you feel when you read a particular LAW.

But try to apply at least one new one each day, until they are all an integral part of your new way of life.

YOUR INTUITION CAN HELP YOU
TO CHANGE YOUR WHOLE LIFE

As I wrote in my last letter, you have lots of intuition that you received as a "divine gift" the day you were born.

If you had taken notice of this intuition while you were young, it could have transformed your life. If it had been properly developed, it could have become an "infallible" Guide for you. A Guide that would have helped you to seize with both hands the many chances that crossed your path.

Because I in fact know that lots of lucky opportunities have already come your way.

Your intuition tried to alert you, but you didn't hear it for the reasons you know.

Regrets are pointless...

The main thing is for us to now revive your dormant intuition.

But what, in general, is meant by intuition?

Intuition is an instinctive means of perception. It enables you to instantaneously grasp an entire situation, so that you can understand what it's truly all about.

Your intuition gives you clear insight, enabling you to distinguish between true and false. Your intuition "sees" what lies below the surface, and this explains why you sometimes take a spontaneous like or dislike to someone. A "little voice" may warn you not to trust a particular person...

Your intuition is something deep down inside you that speaks to you and is only too glad to guide you in the interests of your success. Something that alerts you, steers you, warns you of a danger for example.

Intuition is an expanded vision of a situation. A vision that is sometimes so clear that it amounts to clairvoyance.

You should NEVER argue with a clear flash of intuition -
on the contrary, you should do you utmost to obey it immediately.

How can your restored intuition
bring you luck in all areas?

Once we have revived it, once you are "re-connected" to it, you will realise that all day long, you are receiving lots of information destined to improve your existence.

You will just need to recognise this information, these "signs" (we will come back to this later in more detail), so that you can take full advantage.

You will soon realise that these signs are not reaching you by chance, because there's no such thing as chance. Once you have learnt to recognise and "read" these signs, you will find that you just need to follow them to find the solution to your problems.

Then your intuition will become what it should always have been for you: a reliable Guide. Even if everything has seemed totally blocked until now, your intuition will guide you towards the solution that suits you best.

How to regain your intuition, or
how to get help from your "Inner Guide".

No doubt you have already heard it said that in general, Man (the human being) only uses one tenth of the capacity of his brain. Or it would be more accurate to say, only uses one tenth of the capacity of his Mind.

You for example, mainly use your mind for those normal everyday activities like thinking, reflecting, organising yourself, managing your affairs, etc....

But deep inside you, there is your Profound Mind, your "Superconscious", which has Unlimited Power - a power that enables you to accomplish amazing feats. And yet this Superconscious Mind, this Inner Guide that we call intuition, you hardly use at all.

"But what exactly is this Superconscious Mind?", you may ask.

It's simply the Infinite Intelligence that has made you what you are.

It's that Intelligence which created your body from two tiny cells, which multiplied again and again to form first the baby you were at birth, and then eventually, after more cell multiplication, the adult you have become today.

If you stand in front of a mirror, what do you see?

Only a human frame made of flesh and bone. And this is what others see initially. This image gives you a certain impression of yourself which is based on external factors. This is called the ego.

However your physical self is a bit like the tip of an iceberg. You have long known that the most significant part of the iceberg (nine times more than what you see) lies hidden under the water.

It's much the same with the Mind. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you don't see this Infinite Intelligence that has created you and in fact always been inside you. (Among other things, it helps your body to function without you even having to think about it).

This Intelligence (the most significant part of you) is the superior element of the human being. It is also a part of what people call the "Vital Forces of the Universe", "Infinite Intelligence of the Universe", "Cosmic Forces", "Astral World", "Creative Spirit". It's this creative power that is attributed to the Godhead in all religions.

Calling on this Infinite Intelligence that resides in YOU (and not only in the "Heavens" as religions teach), means calling on the "Creative Spirit", the "Powers of the Mind", your "Inner Guide", your "Invisible Friend and Protector".

You can give it another name if you prefer. The one that you find most appropriate will be the most effective...

Just to make things simple, I will mostly refer to it as your "Inner Guide".

This "Inner Guide" may manifest itself on its own initiative (to save your life when you are in danger for example). But you can also call on it to seek help. You need to realise that your "Inner Guide" is always there, ready to come to your aid.

The simplest and most effective way is to see this "Inner Guide" as an "Invisible Intelligence" - one that is found inside you, in your body (just as it's found in every human being, of every race).

All human beings come from the same "SOURCE" (i.e. this Infinite Intelligence that created them). When the day comes that every human being understands that we all originate from this same Infinite Intelligence, then the world will be a better place...

It will at last be possible to foresee an end to the evils that are poisoning humanity, like racism and religious conflicts for example...

Soon you will have verified the things I'm teaching you now.

When you have established that your "Inner Guide" can indeed solve all your problems, and when you have put all your problems behind you, you will have a role to play in spreading this knowledge yourself.

Your "Inner Guide" is UNITED with you,
and it is also UNITED with the Infinite Intelligence...

So YOU are "UNITED" with the Infinite Intelligence...

You must really believe that the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe lives in you, as though you were an extension of this Intelligence.

Forgive me for going on, but this concept is really important.

Thanks to this Infinite Intelligence of your "Inner Guide", you are therefore linked to the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe. This means that you can link yourself to everything you want to see materialising in your life, as the Universe holds infinite riches.

It might help you to grasp this notion more easily,
if you just imagine that you are "linked" by an invisible
cord to the things you want to appear in your life.

It is most important for you to recognise the "Divine Power" of your "Inner Guide". The reason I'm labouring this point so much, is that it's a vital key to your success. It's the understanding of this principle that will enable you to get rid of your problems and make progress in life "as if by magic".

In effect, when you connect in your mind with your "Inner Guide", you are "uniting" with it so that it can inspire you and protect you.

It will guide you by sending you external or internal signs.

And THIS is what's called having intuition.

As I wrote to you, your problems are largely due to the fact that your intuition hasn't been developed as it could have been. By not listening to your "Inner Guide", you have "lost contact" with it.

So all you need to do is to re-establish contact with your "Inner Guide" to restore order in your life and in your affairs. It will reply to you by sending signs (intuitions) to help you and steer you in the right direction.

You simply need to "get in touch" with it, to ask it your question, and then leave it to express itself in you, through you, so that it brings you the "miraculous" answers, the solutions you are expecting.

This is the best way forward when you are faced with a problem to solve, a difficult situation to overcome.

Shut yourself away in a place where you can't be disturbed for at least 30 minutes. Take the phone off the hook, and spend a few minutes just breathing calmly. Direct your thoughts towards your "Inner Guide" (or use whatever name you have decided on, if you prefer to call it something else).

Focus on the idea that as your "Inner Guide" is connected to the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe, it always knows the answer to any question, the perfect solution to any problem. Your "Inner Guide" knows no bounds. It can therefore seek the answers to your problems throughout the Universe.

It can make a direct and immediate appeal to the "cosmic memory" to help you to solve all your difficulties.

This is what explains its tremendous Power.

This is why it can help you so much!

Have complete faith in it, and talk to it as you would talk to a friend.

Remember that every ordeal in life is there to be overcome, to teach you something, and to help you to progress.

If you make no attempt to try and understand why you are encountering a particular problem, you are likely to keep meeting with that problem. So ask your Inner Guide some questions about your problem:

What can I learn from this experience?

What message is the Universe sending me?

What must I do to stop running into these difficulties?

What quality do I need to develop?

If you ask yourself this type of question, you will convert the negative energy of the problem into positive energy. It will be transferred to your "Inner Guide" and channelled into searching for an answer and opportunities that will solve your problem.

Have complete faith in your all-knowing Inner Guide which will bring you the solution. Above all, don't erect any barriers in the form or doubts or anxieties.

At every opportunity, repeat phrases like these to yourself:

"I have intuition".

"My intuition is the voice of my Inner Guide".

" My Inner Guide is steering me towards the ideal solution and I am following it".

Believe me, I know from experience that there's no such thing as a hopeless situation!

On the contrary, it's often when the situation seems to be totally desperate that your Inner Guide (if you trust it completely) gives you the most spectacular demonstration of its tremendous Power.

So much so, that the solution may seem to be a "miracle".

So remember: your Inner Guide may take the initiative and help you through the voice of your intuition. But you can also actively ask it for help, and it will respond, again through the voice of your intuition.

Strokes of luck can be provoked…

Because the "Law of Series" exists and this has even been scientifically proved. There is in the Universe a force that draws "likes" together. Unfortunately, this law is often the downfall of "common mortals" because it is only implemented in a negative way.

If two bad things happen to you one after another, you inevitably say "bad luck always comes in threes". But in saying that, you yourself provoke the arrival of a third problem. An obscure law in fact dictates that you end up attracting the very thing you fear, by thinking about it.

This is precisely what most people do, because it's so much easier for the vast majority of humans to fear than to have faith...

What is faith? It's making a voluntary decision to believe in something.

Faith therefore demands an effort of will. Provoking strokes of luck is easily within your reach, as long as you make a deliberate decision to change your attitude to "chance".

From now on you know: there is no such thing as pure chance!

People use the word "chance" to explain things that their logical mind cannot comprehend. Although pure chance may not exist, the "Laws of the Universe" do.

These are the "LAWS" that govern the world and control the evolution of the Universe. If you are unaware of these laws, then luck and success seem to escape you and you run into incomprehensible problems that put you in a rage!

But it's no good raging against these problems. It's much better to ally yourself with these "Laws of the Universe" and work in harmony with them.

As you now know that there's no such thing as pure chance, you will henceforth be able to swing the turn of events in the right direction.

I.e. the direction that leads to success, happiness and prosperity.

I know that you are an honest, intelligent and courageous person. And that's why I'm willing to tell you secrets that have proved their power over the centuries. Secrets that will enable you to change the world around you. All I ask is that you put these Secrets to the test.

From now on, you will be able to extricate yourself from the most difficult situations. You will tend to find yourself, by some "stroke of luck", in the favourable circumstances you hoped for or needed.

All you have to do is to seek the help of your "Inner Guide". Ask it to show you the way by repeating phrases like the following several times a day (every time you think of it):

"I am at one with the Spirit in me".

"My Inner Guide is always with me,
I feel its power surrounding me and protecting me".

"My Inner Guide can help me in all things,
And enable me to swiftly make the right decisions".

Whatever external circumstances you are in, never doubt your Inner Guide. During your period of "transformation" it could be that you will still have to face some "nasty surprises". These apparent injustices are necessary to "unlock the door" to better days.

Certain things will have to come to an end so that other, better ones can begin. Remember that the road to prosperity is never completely blocked. There is always an unsuspected way through, although it may not be visible yet.

It's possible that this road will seem to lead you in the opposite direction to where you want to go. But have faith in your Inner Guide: it knows what is right for you. If you feel you have reached an "impasse", repeat these phrases:

"When one door closes, another door opens".

"When one stream dries up, another more
abundant stream always emerges".

To gain more and more from life,
begin by establishing your essential needs.

If all you want to do is to amass possessions so that you can dazzle those around you and satisfy your vanity (your ego) you won't get very far.

There's no need to impress others. There's no merit in this kind of attitude, and your "Inner Guide" won't help you in this kind of way.

Be honest with yourself, and with your "Inner Guide", and begin by making a clear and reasonable assessment of your true needs.

Needs like: a better place to live, a better job, a reasonable sum of money to pay off some debts are good ideas for a start.

Write down precisely what you require. Wherever possible, choose an aim, an objective that is not only beneficial to you, but beneficial to someone else at the same time (to bring the law of giving-receiving into play).

The Plentiful Universe can meet all the requests you put to it, using your "Inner Guide" as an intermediary.

Let's imagine that you are in need of a particular sum of money...

Note the amount clearly on a little sheet of paper. Stare at this sheet for a few moments. Close your eyes (or you can leave them open if you prefer) continuing to see the amount you are asking for.

Feeling totally relaxed, repeat the following phrase in your head:

"Infinite Intelligence, show me the way to Prosperity. Guide me towards the sum of £… to which I have a divine right. Let this money be beneficial to me and to all those who profit by it and take a share of it."

When you have received this sum by some unexpected means, you will have proof that you are a channel through which Prosperity flows. To increase the flow of Prosperity, use the law of "giving and receiving". Give away a portion of this money that you have unexpectedly acquired.

As you give, say this phrase:

"May this money constantly grow, both for the
person I'm giving it to, and for me.
Infinite Intelligence, I thank you for your help".

Do the same thing for every request. Say:

"Infinite Intelligence, I need...(state what you require).
I want to have it now. Please grant it to me,
by your grace and perfect means".

If the reply is slow in coming, trustingly repeat your request, and add:

"Give me clear and precise insights. Show me what I must do to receive....... ".

Then wait from some clear indications.

PLEASE NOTE:

From now on, keep a watch on your thoughts.

You now understand that the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe constantly brings to life everything you think, imagine, feel.

Everything begins in your own mind.

Your life today is the result of your past thoughts.

Your future existence will be the result of what you will be thinking, of what you will be seeing in your mind from now on.

Remember that all your unconscious fears pull towards you the very things you dread. It is therefore really important to make an effort to "police" your negative thoughts. As soon as a negative thought enters your head, say:

"I deny this negative thought, it has no place in the Universe".

Instantly replace it with a positive thought, or with a firm belief that your request is being fulfilled.

Have faith and confidence in your "Inner Guide", the Infinite Intelligence that resides in you. Keep telling it that you believe in its power to guide you.

Here's a simple and enjoyable way of accelerating the realisation of your wishes.

You only need to set aside 10 minutes a day. Choose a place where you will be undisturbed for at least 10 minutes. Determine exactly what it is you want (the situation you would like to be in, once your problem has been solved).

Above all, you mustn't be tense - quite the opposite in fact, so relax your body and your mind. The ideal time for this exercise would be before you go to sleep at night, when your body is nice and calm.

Think, for a little while, of your desired situation. PICTURE THE SCENE! Really feel, deep down inside, that your Inner Divine Spirit has the power to solve your problem in an ideal way.

Don't make the mistake of imagining how the problem might be solved by a particular means or with the help of a particular person. If you do this, you will be in danger of blocking the process.

To fulfil your desire, the Infinite Intelligence may use means that are beyond the imagination of the human mind. It knows the perfect timing, exactly when and how to give you want you want.

Just content yourself with waiting for the result, feeling confident and certain that your Inner Guide will bring you satisfaction.

So what should you do after asking your Inner Guide for help?

Absolutely nothing! Just wait for the answer(s) to come!

Then as soon as you have them, blindly follow all the indications, Intuitions, signs, that the Infinite Intelligence won't fail to give you.

How do you recognise these answers?

They can arrive in a variety ways:

bizarre coincidences, comments around you that suddenly make you think of something, dreams, a sudden desire to do something unusual, looking for one thing and finding another that relates to your question, etc...

Keep your mind open, and on the alert - "something" will point to the right solution. Here are a few more details on how things may happen:

"Sleep brings counsel": have you heard this saying?

Now's your chance to see whether there's any truth in it. First of all, get ready to receive the replies from your "Inner Guide" - put a notepad and pencil on your bedside table. Before you go to sleep, ask your Guide to free you from everything that has prevented you from solving your problem, and to solve your problem for you.

Get into the habit of listening, the moment you wake up, to the "little voice" that speaks to you. You will be surprised to find that the answers to your questions come more and more frequently and more and more easily as you awake (or even in the middle of the night in your dreams). Note down immediately any answers or dreams relating to your problem, even if they seem rather bizarre.

Your intuition can make you a fortune

You should know that writers, musicians, poets, inventors have become rich and famous in this way. They have got into the habit of trusting that "little voice" speaking inside them. They tend to call these strokes of intuition "inspiration"... but it's exactly the same thing!

You too are capable of inventing things, of having ideas. Remember that if you find the solution to a problem that affects lots of people, these people would no doubt be willing to pay you for that solution. It's up to you to find a way of selling it to them...

Fortunes are often built on very simple and basic ideas, like cooking recipes for example....

How does intuition manifest itself?

It may be a recurrent idea or image that keeps popping into your head. It may be a phrase read or heard "by chance" (but there's no such thing as chance, so this is the answer you were waiting for). Or it could be that someone you know, or even a stranger, gives you the answer without knowing it.

Imagine that you have a choice to make and that you ask your "Inner Guide" for some help, to find out which is the "right choice for you". When you wake up, you seem to smell an aroma that brings back a pleasant memory. This memory points you towards one choice rather than another... this is a good indicator, a sign, a form of intuition.

Or it could be that just when you are considering one of the choices, you pass someone who has been horrible to you. This is a significant "coincidence", a sign that you are certainly making the wrong choice...

If you are still unsure, ask for further, clearer indications.

You may have a sudden desire to nip into a shop, even though you've no real reason for going in. (Even if your reason is telling you that there's no point, obey your initial instinct). By "accident", you bump into someone for whom you can do a favour, and shortly afterwards, this person introduces you to someone who helps you to solve your problem...

In order to help you, your "Inner Guide" will play a game with you a bit like "hunt the thimble".

"Hunt the thimble" is that game you no doubt played as a child, where you hide an object that someone else has to find. The only clues you give them are comments like "you're cold" … "getting warmer" … "red hot" etc., until the person finds the object in question.

It's a bit the same with intuition.

Here are some examples of the ways in which your
Inner Guide might tell you "You're cold":

- Nothing runs smoothly. Everything is a huge effort.

- Everything seems blocked. Meetings are delayed.

- You are nervous. You feel frustrated.

- Certain parts of your body are tense and aching.

The adjectives that best describe your state are ones like: oppressed, anxious, agitated, distracted, negative, suspicious, aggressive, stubborn, confused, disorientated, demotivated, indifferent, sullen.

You feel that events are overtaking you, you are afraid to do what you need to do. You try your best to grimly "hang on".

You have doubts about yourself, your abilities, your individual worth. Everything irritates you and stresses you. You feel a heaviness in your chest, as though a hand were squeezing you around the solar plexus. Your throat is tight, you feel like crying, you have a stomach-ache or back-ache.

Take notice of all the signals your body is sending you.

It's your intuition's way of attracting your attention. To do this it uses your nervous system, creating tension, stress, head-aches, neck-aches, etc.

Your five senses send you certain negative signals i.e. unpleasant sensations. Things seem to taste bad, smell awful, feel repulsive, make shrill noises, have hideous colours, etc.

You have the impression that you are "rowing against the tide", drifting away from the nice things life had reserved for you.

To sum up:

If you are plagued by anxiety, have a hollow sensation in the pit of your stomach, feel drained of energy, tense or nauseous, have pains in your head, chest or stomach, this means that your Inner Guide is warning you via your body:

"Beware, you are in serious danger of making a mistake".

Give things some thought and ask your Inner Guide for confirmation.

Take a step in what you feel is the right direction. Make a preliminary decision that does not commit you too much, then observe the signs.

Your Guide never lies to you. If you are on the wrong track, your body will send you even stronger signs of stress!

Then you will know where you are...

Here now are a few examples of how your
Inner Guide might tell you "You are getting warm":

Everything in your daily life seems to be moving in the right direction without you having to force it, or fight. Other people are kind and spontaneously help you, whether they are close to you or not. Solutions suddenly appear when you thought you were stuck. You feel more cheerful, more light-hearted.

Things happen just at the right moment, as though by a "stroke of luck". You have opportunities to help those around you. Your life has meaning again, and you feel full of energy.

Prompted by all the nice things that are happening to you, you become very aware of your links with your Inner Guide in all circumstances. You are more conscious of the "presence" of your Inner Guide.

You "sense" that nothing is due to chance and that you are helping to make your own luck. You are receiving more and more messages from your Guide in all kinds of situations, even when you are just going about your normal business.

When you have a strong intuition in answer to a question, you will feel full of enthusiasm (this emotion may even be so strong that you are left "trembling with excitement"). You discover, or rediscover innate talents that have been buried inside you for ages. Your imagination is fertile and you have plenty of good ideas. You feel confident and sure of yourself.

You are more and more sensitive to those tiny details that others don't see, you feel fortune is smiling on you.

You notice a great many coincidences that seem to be guiding you (curious recurrence of the same phrases, signs, symbols). All your senses are on the alert (sight, hearing, touch) and your intuition is influencing your body. You feel relaxed, everything is going smoothly.

The words that best describe your state are those like: curiosity, communication, sensitivity, optimism, interest, generosity, attention, flexibility, comprehension, leniency, contentment...

You are attracted by new ideas, you feel yourself being drawn towards a new path. When you think about it, you lose all track of time. You have lots of confidence and enthusiasm. Your body feels well, safe, relaxed.

You feel good about yourself. You don't feel hassled, and you are looking forward confidently to what happens next.

Your five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste) are sending you nothing but positive signs, i.e. pleasant sensations. Things seem to taste delicious, smell lovely, have harmonious colours, feel nice...

So to sum up, when you are on the right track, the track that enables you to contribute to the positive evolution of the Universe, you develop a great sense of vitality. You feel energy, warmth and enthusiasm mounting inside you.

A profound sense of well-being invades you. You feel that everything is in harmony, everything "rings true".

Do you remember what's it's like to suddenly develop a great passion for someone or something (an idea or project)? This is exactly the kind of feeling I'm talking about.

Your Inner Guide is telling you to "strike out in this favourable direction" and you feel this so strongly that you could cry tears of joy.

This is your Inner Guide's way of saying yes, yes, yes, using signals communicated through your body. Make some more decisions that take you in the same direction, and watch out for more signs. With practice, you will find it easier and easier to recognise really subtle changes in your body.

You will understand when your Guide tells you:

"I refuse to do that"

or alternatively,

"I love the idea of doing that".

Remember that if problematic events occur, it's so that you can learn something from them. In these difficult moments, take the time to "let go" a little. Pause for a while, refresh yourself, be attentive and ask which path to follow. Have the wisdom to look and wait for the "signs" that will show you the right way.

Repeat:

"My Inner Guide is teaching me everything I need to know,
at the precise moment when I need to know it."

How can you try to accelerate the arrival of the help you are requesting?

Tidy up your house, your office. Do a big clean-up, saying to yourself that you are removing all the clutter from your mind, so that you can receive the answers more clearly....

If you come across any clothes, accessories, objects you haven't used in ages, give them away to someone who needs them (law of giving-receiving). You are then showing that besides asking for things, you also know how to give.

Even if there's still no external sign of a solution appearing, show your faith in the Universe. If, for example, you are asking for help to go on a wonderful journey, get hold of all the documentation, get your suitcases ready, think about what you'll need to take with you...

Whatever you have asked for, prepare symbolically for its arrival as though this were imminent, which it probably is...

Meditate whenever you can - this is one of the most effective ways of reawakening your "Inner Guide".

Meditating means talking to your Guide. Every day, at a convenient moment, shut yourself away somewhere quiet. Listen to your "little inner voice" and obey it as soon as it gives you a reply.

Look at yourself in a mirror, look at your body and think about the Infinite Intelligence that resides in it, resides in you.

Say this phrase:

"I am not a physical body,
but I am the Spirit (soul) that uses it".

Reflect, meditate on this phrase as often as possible, to make contact with the Infinite Intelligence via your Soul (your Guide).

Every time you have a free moment, meditate about your current feelings.

I am impatient: why?

I am irritated: why?

I am content: why?

I am happy: why?

What has caused this feeling?

Meditate on the fact that when you say "I", you are not talking about your physical body, but about the Spirit which lives inside you.

This all-powerful Spirit that can do anything for you, which is at your beck and call twenty-four hours a day to help you. This Spirit which is in permanent contact with the Universe.

Remember:

Your "Inner Guide" can find the solution to all your problems.

It can provide an answer to all your questions. It can eliminate all your difficulties using means that seem incomprehensible to the human brain.

Following your intuition means being willing to be guided by your inner wisdom.

Every time your intuition tells you to do something, do it!

And every time it prevents a problem or brings you a "stroke of luck", say thank you to it!

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LOVE

2008-04-02T11:06:00.000+02:00

Every human being wants to be successful in love.

This a perfectly natural and legitimate desire. It is a well-known fact that Love occupies a privileged place in the hearts and lives of men and women the world over.

For centuries poets have celebrated the subtlety, the power, the magic and the mystery of Love.

But what exactly is Love?

What you need to know and bear in mind is that Love is all this and a lot more besides…it is also a source of energy, that can assume several forms: emotional, affective, romantic and sexual.

The domain of romantic feelings draws on a "centre of energy" situated in the pelvic area (between the coccyx and sacrum), known as the “Support of the Life Breath Centre” or the Svadhishthana Chakra.
This chakra, linked to sexual feelings and energy, is responsible for "distributing” these energies throughout the body. Furthermore, the SVADHISHTHANA CHAKRA gives rise to encounters with other people, especially the opposite sex.

· When the Svadhishthana Chakra is "operating” harmoniously, you are naturally open towards other people; you express your emotions and feelings spontaneously, without embarassment, awkwardness or excessive modesty. You are joyfully aware of the vital forces of creation within you. Your enthusiasm and optimism are contagious and your magnetism attracts the opposite sex.
· But sometimes the energy of this chakra functions in an unbalanced manner. This imbalance often originates in puberty when the awakening of sexual energy has a destabilising effect because parents and teachers are rarely able to convey the best way of using this energy (what could be really described as sexual education).
If a person has also been starved of affection and tenderness, this can result in a subconscious rejection of romantic and sexual relationships.

This leads to a conflict between desire and "sexual energy” which cannot circulate freely and eventually results in "dormant” emotions, low self-esteem and inhibitions. In short, life appears extremely dreary.
This type of attitude attracts solitude or the type of problems that affect the harmony of a relationship. For example, unpredictable moods, impotence or frigidity, obesity or weight-loss, inhibitions, obsessions, etc.

· To sum up, if your love life or sex life is disappointing, unsatisfactory or even non-existant, it is probably because this energy is partially "blocked” in the area of the Svadhishthana Chakra. This creates an imbalance between giving and receiving (love, tenderness, etc).

· By purifying and activating this chakra, you will exude a natural magnetism. Then, quite simply, you will attract affection and love and you will discover (or rediscover) a stimulating love life and sex life that will grow and devlop harmoniously.

· SECRETS FOR PURIFYING AND ACTIVATING THE SVADHISHTHANA CHAKRA

· The Butterfly

· Lie flat on your back: take time to stretch languorously, then relax for ten minutes or so.
· From a sitting position, bring the soles of your feet together. Bring your heels as close to your body as possible.
· Breathe in as you straighten your body so that your back is straight (your chest rises slightly).
· Clasp the fingers of both hands around your feet. Gently bounce your knees in time with your breathing (like the beating of a butterfly’s wings).
· Concentrate on the area of the Svadhishthana Chakra (lower abdomen) and continue to do so throughout this exercise.
· Repeat the exercise several times, for a few minutes at a time. Finish by leaning forward as you breathe out and returning to your initial position as you breathe in.
· Then, lie flat on your back, breathe calmly and deeply and feel the movement of energy in the lower part of your body.

· Cat Stretch

· Kneel down on "all fours” with your knees and hands placed firmly on the ground and your elbows straight. Keep your back straight, parallel to the ground, and your head slightly raised.
· In this position, breathe deeply for a few minutes, with a short pause between breathing out and in. At the same time, concentrate on the Svadhishthana Chakra (sometimes you feel a sensation of warmth).
· Then, as you breathe in, arch your back upwards as far as you can (just as a cat arches its back) and lower your head gently forwards between your arms.
· As you breathe out, do the opposite, dropping your back and raising your head as far as you can.
· Repeat the exercise in time to your breathing and continuing to concentrate on the area of the chakra.

· Initially, you can do this exercise for 3 minutes, then, later on, for 5 minutes. The longer you do the exercise, the more strongly you will feel the circulation of the current of energy in the area of your lower abdomen.
· Lie flat on your back to relax, continuing to concentrate on the chakra. Be aware of your breathing but don’t try to modify it.

These simple exercises are extremely beneficial to promote the circulation of "sexual energy”. Do them as often as you like, preferably in the morning.

· Natural Resource (*)

Moonlight and contemplating or coming into contact with clear water in natural surroundings will activate the Svadhishthana Chakra.
The Moon, and especially the full Moon, stimulates your sensations and vastly increases your sexual imagination.

· Contemplate clear natural water in silence, bathe in it or drink a few mouthfuls from a clear spring. This will help you to "clear” your chakra of any blockages and emotional inhibitions, to open wide the door to the life that is within you.

· If you are able to contemplate the Moon at the same time as you come into contact with the water, you can be assured of the maximum effect on your Svadhishthana Chakra.

· Aphrodisiac Fragrances

· Ylang-Ylang: The aphrodisiac effect of the essential oil of the flowers of the Ylang-Ylang tree is well-known. It is deeply relaxing and also heightens the awareness of subtle sensual sensations.
Its pleasant fragrance creates a sense of security that gives you renewed confidence in the natural rhythm of your feelings.
In this way, blocked and troubled emotions are banished and dispelled.

· Sandalwood: Sandalwood is often used to stimulate sexual energy and elevate the union with your sexual partner to the level of a spiritual experience. Sandalwood also stimulates the erotic imagination.

You can use these fragrances to create a scented and romantic atmosphere either in the form of incense sticks or essential oils. In the case of the latter there are several possibilities:

Place a few drops in an incense burner or in your bath water.
Or use it to discreetly perfume your lingerie.
Or use a drop to rub gently behind each ear and in the small of your back.

· Infusion of love

· Take 20 grammes of savory, 5 grammes of rosemary, 10 grammes of mint and 10 grammes of orange blossom;
· Bring 1 litre of mineral water to the boil and pour over the herbs. Leave to infuse for 5 minutes. Add 3 spoonfuls of honey.
· Drink a cup of the infusion, morning and evening, for 4 days.

· The sound "O”

· To calm and harmonise the Svadhishthana Chakra, you can listen to the birds singing, the sound of natural running water, or the murmur of an ornamental fountain.
· The chakra is activated by the sound "o” sung on the note D of the chromatic scale. The sound "o” releases a movement of circular energy which arouses deep-seated feelings.
Sing this sound "ooooo” in time to your breathing, without overdoing it, for a few minutes each morning and evening.

This method is very effective for activating the Svadhishthana Chakra since it creates a harmonious interplay between male and female forces. Also, in everyday usage, the exclamation "oh!” is the expression of deep-seated surprise. The capacity for surprise when confronted with the miracles of Creation is therefore revived by the sound "o”.

· The colour Orange

The colour Orange activates the Svadhishthana Chakra extremely effectively. It is a source of invigorating and innovative energy and releases "frozen” emotions. It heightens self-esteem and arouses sensual pleasure. It favours sexual encounters with a view to sharing physical enjoyment.
· For a few minutes each day, contemplate a beautifully clear and luminous orange surface while breathing calmly and deeply. You can, if necessary, create thi surface yourself, giving it a shape that pleases and inspires you.
· Use "touches" of orange in the clothes you wear (silk scarf, scarf, handkerhief, shirt, blouse, etc).

· The power of precious stones

Certain gemstones have the ability to "stimulate” the Svadhishthana Chakra directly if worn or carried about the person.

· Carnelian: helps the wearer to live for the present moment, and promotes concentration and self-esteem. It re-activates the “life force” and makes it easier to express feelings.

· Moonstone: gently opens up your emotional wealth, putting you in touch with the sensitive and receptive part of yourself. With this stone, you have no difficulty in accepting yourself as you are, with all your qualities and faults. It banishes your fear of your emotions and harmonises your emotional balance. In physical terms, moonstone helps to purify the lymphatic system and restore hormonal balance in women.

· THE TANTRIC DANCE

You can use this technique to arouse your energy, especially sexual energy. It will heighten your awareness of the fact that this energy is primarily yours, that it exists deep within you and is simply waiting to be fully aroused for you greater wellbeing.
You will enjoy all its benefits by performing this dance it regularly for 10 to 15 minutes a day.
· Adopt a sitting position and close your eyes. Breathe slowly and deeply until you feel completely relaxed. Be aware of your abdomen and chest rising and falling regularly.
· Begin to rock forwards and backwards for a few moments.
· Now move from left to right, then move your body in a circular clockwise movement, as if you were using your body to draw circles in the air.
· Leaning on your hands placed on either side of your body, gently bounce your buttocks on the floor a dozen or so times to relax the physical area that corresponds to the Svadhishthana Chakra. As you do this, concentrate on this area and remain conscious of it.
· Then stand up and dance to erotic music (choose instrumental music, if possible), moving your pelvis backwards and forwards.
· Continue to dance for 5 minutes and then finish by lying flat on you back and relaxing completely. Thank the Universe and your energy for this dance.

· "ENERGY OF LOVE" RITUAL

To feel the joy of being alive and sharing Love you must first of all: love yourself!

Jesus said: "Love thy neighbour as thyself”
If you do not love youself enough, it becomes difficult to love other people.
The love within you is the same love that you can give to others ….
…and inevitably the same love that others give you in return.

If you love yourself by accepting yourself as you are (with all your qualities and faults), then you will spread love around you and receive it in return.

Whover you are, tell yourself that the Universe loves you just as you are and that it needs you just as you are.

Always remember that CONFIDENCE opens up the heart and enables the energy of love to circulate freely, whereas DOUBT has the opposite effect.
Remember that confidence and doubt are 2 aspects of the same energy.
This means that if you are filled with doubt, you have the same amount of potential energy for confidence. All you have to to is "shift” the balance of this energy from doubt to confidence.

The following ritual is very effective: it enables the energy of love of to circulate more freely (achieving a good balance between GIVING and RECEIVING) while increasing self-esteem, self-confidence and self-love.

· First of all, prepare the Altar in your Sacred Space and make sure you won’t be disturbed during this ritual. Relax by adopting the position in which your body feels most comfortable: the important thing is to begin the ritual when you feel “internalised” and calm.

· Perform the short ritual of the “Cross of the Elements”.

· Adopt a sitting position with your back straight. Breathe deeply while remaining aware of your breathing: as a “column” of warm air penetrating your nostrils and flowing down through your throat, chest and abdomen to your Svadhishthana Chakra.
Breathe naturally and deeply, without overdoing it, simply remaining aware of your breath as it passes through your chest (initially, you can place your hand on your chest, which is rising and falling regularly, to help you be more aware of your breathing in this area).

N.B.: your breathing should be regular and fluid, do not pause between breathing in and out.

· Behind your closed eyelids, visualise a screen as if you were at the cinema. On this screen, visualise a person you love deeply (for example, the person with whom you share or would like to share your life).

· Tell this person of the love you feel for him/her; whisper if you prefer, but express yourself clearly and comprehensibly. Allow your heart to open up and express all your love, and feel this love "flowing” over the other person. Continue to be aware of your breathing "in your heart”, in the area of your chest, as you say are saying this.

· Allow the image of the person you love to fade and now visualise your own image on the screen.

· Open your heart as far as you can and express all the love you feel for yourself. Say aloud:

"I love myself and accept myself as I am;
I am loved as I am;
I accept others as they are and I love them for what they are
I express my emotions in all confidence and security;
I find the source of Love within me;
I open my heart and share pleasant experiences with others, taking account of their needs without becoming dependent on them”.

Give free rein to your emotions and feel them fully (it is quite usual to cry at this point in the ritual).
Allow the energy of self-Love to flow and feed on this energy.

· Continue to focus on your breathing in the area of your chest, and allow your image to fade. Now imagine that this energy of Love is coming from deep within you. Feel it and visualise it as a spring of pink water that wells up and fills your heart until it spills over and flows into infinity.

· When you feel ready, open your eyes again, after thanking the Universe for this ritual.

Perform this ritual for 8 consecutive days, preferably when the Moon is waxing, beginning and ending on a Friday.

On the last day, wear white when you perform the ritual and place a beautiful red rose on your Altar.
After this, perform the ritual whenever you feel the need, on a single day, but always on a Friday.

· CEREMONY OF FORGIVENESS

Fears, energy blocks and limitations of all kinds prevent you from allowing the energy of the Universe that we call Love to flow freely within you.

Forgiveness is the remedy that leads to the full and unreserved acceptance of the energy of Love and its free circulation.

A word of warning: the ritual of Forgiveness is powerful and its Magic Power is very strong. So it should only be performed genuinely: in your soul and in all conscience and sincerity. If not, it could have violent repercussions.

Forgiveness is in fact based on "resentment”. By fully expressing your resentment you can rid yourself of fear, guilt and limitations.
You can use this ritual when:
· You feel remorse towards someone;
· You are irritated with someone for something they have done to you;
· You can’t forget a person who has died and whom you need to forgive or who needed to forgive you;
· You split up with someone to “sort out” your relationship.

· Light a white candle and place it in the centre of your Altar and burn incense.

· Proceed as for the “Energy of Love” ritual (sacred space, breathing, etc.). Then imagine the person appearing before you, on the screen of your closed eyes. You forgive this person for what they have done and say aloud: "I forgive you for having done this or that …”.
At the end, you say: "I forgive you and I release you”.

· Then you ask the person in question to forgive you for all that you think you have done and say: "Forgive me for having done this or that …”

· Finally, you forgive yourself and say: "X (your first name), I forgive you for having done this or that to such and such a person and I release you”.

· Feel released, at peace with yourself, clear and focused. Thank the Universe for this forgiveness and thank yourself.

· Leave the candle to burn down completely making sure that no one goes into the room where the ritual was performed.

You can complete the process of Forgiveness when you take your shower, by imagining that the water is washing away all traces of guilt, all the negative thoughts and emotions resulting from your relationship with the person in question, and that it leaves you totally purified.

· COSMIC ENERGY AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

You can perform this ritual if you are single, lonely, and you sincerely want to fiind a soul mate.

Your mental attitude (positive or negative thoughts) to a large extent determines your quality of life. If want to attract a true wife (or husband), you must first of all imagine her/him in your thoughts and ideas; i.e. as an "ideal”.

Meditate and say the following prayer morning and night. Just as a seed sown in the ground will germinate, so will the qualities and characteristics of the man (or woman) about whom you are meditating will appear in your life in the the form of the ideal wife (or husband).

· Meditate in your Sacred Space or in a place where you feel comfortable (natural surrounding, a park, lake, etc). Perform the “Cross of the Elements” ritual.

· Then say the following prayer, slowly and out loud, remembering that each word releases a particular type of energy depending on what YOU are thinking as you pronounce it.
It is not so much the words that are important as the thought-energy that accompanies them.
Different people can pronounce the same word and achieve a completely different effect.

For a woman:
"Infinite Intelligence, let me attract a man who believes in marriage and worships the Divinity who gives us life; who is therefore loyal, faithful, spiritual, intelligent, prosperous and successful in life; who is in perfect harmony with me, spiritually, mentally and physically; who loves my ideal and whose ideal I love; who no more seeks to transform me than I seek to change him; we share the same love, freedom and mutual respect; who comes to me free of all commitments, through an act of the Providence that creates all new things.
The intelligence of the Cosmic Energy within me unites us within the Divine Order”.

Take great care not to subsequently deny what you have affirmed, as you will then neutralise the process of prayer.

For a man:
"Infinite Intelligence, let me attract the ideal wife who believes in mariage; who is gracious, charming, honest, sincere, loyal and believes deeply in the
great eternal truths of God; we share the same love, freedom and mutual respect. I am spiritually, mentally and physically united with these qualities in the woman I desire, and I know that while I am meditating on these qualities, they penetrate my subconscious, and I am drawing to me, within the Divine Order and through Divine Love, the woman who is the incarnation of my ideal".

Affirm these truths with deep commitment morning and night. Your subconscious will gradually absorb them and you will automatically attract your ideal spouse: the person with whom you will share love and mutual understanding.

MASTERING THE ART OF SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS

2008-04-02T11:02:00.000+02:00

RECOGNISING THE NEED FOR OTHER PEOPLE

Firstly, it is important to understand that: lucky opportunities only exist within the framework of relationships that you create in society.

Imagine, for example, that following a catastrophe, humanity all disappeared except for one man. The issue of luck will not be important for him and all of his hopes will be focused on getting food and surviving in good health, without physical pain!

If luck brought him some other people who also escaped the cataclysm, then luck will start to bother him again: being accepted by the group, having a purpose, having a fair share that he needs to counter the greed of others….

It is useful to emphasise: bad luck, failure or obstructions, annoyances and reversals of fortune come primarily from a bad attitude to social life. It is obvious, to take just one example, that how useful someone is to a group that they are in, will determine their luck to a great degree.

It is one of the reasons why it is imperative to recognise your need for other people. To deny this need is like being isolated from society, losing the advantages and benefits that come from relationships with others, whether they are commercial, professional, friendships or any other.

What’s more, don’t we usually say, quite rightly, “unity is strength”? In most cases, the best way to improve our luck and success is to cultivate interesting, useful and advantageous relationships.

So it is wise to discover how to change your behaviour to expand your relationships: join groups and clubs, become a member of professional or cultural associations, go on holiday with groups, etc.

It is also desirable to improve your “technique” in relationships: to let others speak, to take a sincere interest in them, to learn how to listen to other people, to overcome your worries, to master communication, to not open yourself up, to be discrete, to become a sympathetic confident of many people….

Many people think that it is difficult to master the art of relationships… in truth, it is enough to know the rules that govern them... By following the advice given in these pages, you will soon be able to be at ease in any company and in any situation to make the most of relationships that you will know how to create.

ALL RELATIONSHIPS HAPPEN THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS

Social life must happen through communication. We can’t help communicating: even silence has a meaning. In one way or another, communication always ends up happening.

It seems obvious that the way of communicating depends greatly on the type of relationship that we have with others. And our quality of life depends a lot on the quality of our relationships with others, whether we are talking about love, work, finances, health, travel, studies, etc
How many people fail in life because they cannot communicate? How many people spend their time endlessly talking about “me, me, me” without realising that the person they are speaking jeers at what they say, because they would also like to talk a bit about themselves?

Making ourselves understood depends on the way we communicate. And if we do not get our message across clearly, it is up to us to change the way we communicate. The “resistance” of people we speak to then become a sign that we need to communicate “differently”.

In fact, communication has its own “philosophy” and its own rules, generally reinforced by experience.

First of all, you should know that each one of us has in our head not reality, but a map of reality – for convenience, let’s call it a “World View”. We collect and process data coming from the world through our senses (sight, sound, touch, smell, taste).

Why talk about a “View”? Because just like a view or picture of London is not London, but a representation of that city, so our “World View” – what we have in our head – is not reality, but a representation of reality.

In other words, we do not react to reality, but according to representations of reality, representations that are “built” according to our own personal life story, according to the conditions we have lived in, the time, the place where we grew up, etc.

Not everything that we have in our head has come through our eyes, our nose, our ears, our skin and our mouth. There is also extra information concerning our body, our desires, our emotions and feelings, our needs and intentions, which are generally transmitted by a combination of subtle internal physical sensations, called kinaesthetic sensations.

They act as a great mass of agreeable or disagreeable sensations, generally expressed by words that play an important role in our experiences – and thus in the building of our representations of things, in the building of our World View.

All this tends to complicate communication because each of us has our own World View. In fact, we look at life as if we wear a pair of “mental glasses”: in good faith. We all believe that we can “see” or grasp life “as it really is”, perfectly objectively! Some argue with others more or less often about the “correct perception” and the “bad faith” of the other….

A simple example will enable you to understand what we are talking about. A man asks three workmen: “What are you doing?”

I am digging a hole, the first answers.
I’m earning a crust, the second answers
I am building a cathedral, the third answers.

Here’s a clear illustration that each workman has his own World View, different from that of the other two.

In the various situations we find ourselves in, we are all convinced that our own view of the world is the right one. Where does this great misunderstanding come from? Essentially it is difficult for people to admit that it is not easy for our minds to grasp reality, and consequently that words are not the best way to describe many aspects.

It follows that communications is to some extent undermined by different types of unconscious reactions on the part of the people you are speaking to. Among these reactions, we could mention generalisation, which tends to restrict reality, or distortion, which makes us transform reality, or even selective filters that make it possible to retain certain aspects of our experiences and to eliminate others (to save space in the memory, to avoid painful memories, etc)

Note that more than 90% of people are not very conscious of what they choose! Are you well aware yourself of the way you communicate?

For example: What pieces of information do you select? What strategies do you favour? What emotions do you “block”? Do you communicate the way you were taught? Is your communication a way to show yourself off? Do you always learn a lesson from your communication? Are you natural and authentic when you communicate? And so on

Now you understand why, as language is the most used way of communicating socially, verbal communication is largely prone to all sorts of misunderstandings, mistakes and confusion.

To overcome these problems, all you have to do is follow some simple rules. The rules that I will explain to you will ensure that you communicate in a beneficial and satisfactory way. They are used by the biggest names in the world, and they have been proved reliable on many occasions. All they ask of you is a little willpower and attentiveness.

THE RULES OF SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATION

School teaches us how to calculate the nth root of pi to three decimals places. But it does not teach us how to behave properly in company. We are embarrassed and lost for words when we need to solve relationship problems at work, between friends or couples…

A well-known psychologist said: “Any fool can criticise, condemn or complain. But we need personality and control to be understanding and be able to forgive.”

Does that make you think of someone? Someone close to you… or perhaps yourself!

Every time one of those close to us does something a little out of line, we are all critical. In the long run, this criticism completely destroys that person’s self-confidence.

For example, if at a meeting someone is late and is given a real roasting (especially in front of others), they will be upset and no good will come of it. On the other hand, if he is given a good reputation, for example by someone saying to everyone: “So-and-so is extraordinarily punctual, he is always on time”, it might be wrong at first, but that person will make an effort – and this works. I have tested it personally more than once. In the past, I always thought badly of people, thought I was “top of the pile”, to be able to criticise what everyone else did. I realised that this was mean.

Use the following rules that will enable you to better understand people you speak to and so communicate better. Some of the following points will help you to radically transform the tense contacts that you could have with other people.

· Perception of things

To communicate in an effective way, you must understand that every person perceives the world in a different way. The first rule: always keep in mind that the “Map of the World” of the person you are speaking to may not be the same as yours. By following this guiding principle, you will approach the relationship with a spirit of openness, to keep benevolent neutrality. Consequently communication has every chance of being profitable, because it is built on respectful and tolerant exchange.

· Really take an interest in others

Generally, the people who succeed and are happy take an interest in other people. When someone speaks to you about themselves, their family, their health, their troubles, avoid appearing as disinterested or bored. Don’t start talking about yourself, or else you show a lack of respect and interest in the other person. To behave this way towards other people damages success, and also creates important situations that at first seem trivial.

Learn how to listen to others. Most people need to tell their story to feel happy. Based on this principle, if you want to be appreciated by someone you are talking to, you will have to listen to him or her much more than talk to him or her.

Be sociable: speak to others about what interest them, encourage the others to speak about themselves, make them feel important – and do it sincerely. Surely you know that people who speak easily to everybody, they always have something to say to the bus driver, taxi driver, to the girl in the bakery, the dog or cat in the restaurant, the café owner, the tour guide, a teacher or lecturer. Some say that people like this are devious. Not at all. These people have a very well developed social sense and this helps them to automatically be in tune with the people they speak to, whatever the situation.

The great psychologist Adler said: “The individual who is not interested in his fellow man is the person who will meet the greatest difficulties in life and harms other most.”

Also, when you meet a person who is too tired to give you a smile, smile at them yourself. Because no one needs a smile more than someone has nothing more to give.
In addition, the name of a person is very important. Getting it wrong is the best way to make an enemy of someone. To remember it is the best way of making a friend. Communicating well means being honestly interested in others and putting yourself in their shoes and not to see things only from your own viewpoint.

· Be "listening"

I want to emphasise this point: the art of communication comes from listening.

Listening to others is a service that you can perform for them. Nowadays, no one really listens any more, and if you give your time and listen to people you are speaking to or to those you love, you are giving them one of the most beautiful gifts there is.

Try it, and you will realise that people are very sensitive to this and will return your kindness one hundredfold!

Moreover, the fact that you listen, you are receptive and open enables you to better understand other people, to be on the same wavelength as them, and this will be true even if you disagree. Don’t attack them because they don’t share your views. Accept the opinions of others and remain open. You have the absolute right to have your own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that you have the truth. Remember that each one of us has our own truth…. Or rather our own interpretation of the truth. Yours is no better than your neighbour’s. So respect the opinions or “truths” of others.

· Don’t criticise

Here’s a golden rule that you should never break, under pain of “scuttling” communication! Understand that 99 percent of people judge themselves innocent whatever their faults. So it is useless to judge and criticise others on their actions. Communicating well implies not criticising, condemning or complaining.

Today we live in the communication age. However, paradoxically, human relationships have never been so cold. Relationships have become “remote”, because of the use of tools that depersonalise communication: the phone, fax, email and other electronic communications.

The majority of people don’t know how to communicate: they burp, grumble, insult, they spit out their words and phrases without any respect for the person they are addressing. This can’t be called communication, but rather an “exchange of aggression”.

Rather than be concerned with what enters our mouths, we should watch more carefully what leaves them.

IMPORTANT:
Be conscious that every word releases a particular energy, depending on what you think when you say it. What is important is not the word, but the “thought energy” that accompanies it. Different people can speak the same word, but each could have a different effect.

You must become aware of your thoughts and what you feel when you speak, in order not to thrust anything onto the person you speak to. Very often, people are not clear in their communication, because there is too great a gap between what they say and what they think, leading to all sorts of misunderstandings.

So it is important that you are conscious of every word that you say, and to do that, you must speak slowly.

Only people with a low level of consciousness allow themselves to always be critical and judgmental. If you don’t like something, say simply and calmly, “I don’t like that or that is not appropriate for me” or “that doesn’t interest me”.

But don’t say: “It’s lousy or it’s false”, because everything has its place in the universe, or else it would not exist. It’s not up to you to say whether something is fair or not; don’t think you are something you’re not, namely an omnipotent God!

I’m sure you will already have noticed this: when you are full of compassion, respect, tolerance, you do not feel like criticising or demolishing the person who disagrees with you, nor focus on this opinion or that ideology. Understand that you are not here for that, but simply determine what is right for you, for your development, and the rest is not pointless, but is just not appropriate to you.

One more thing: when you communicate, try to drop the trivia as much as possible. Remain quiet rather than say just anything. Silent communication is certainly a difficult art, but it is very powerful.

A lot of energy can pass in silence. So, you can pass on all the love you have: you can express your inner peace much more easily; you can concentrate on enlightening thoughts that will offer to others.

It isn’t by chance that spiritual masters often communicate in silence, because silence is much more powerful than words. In silence, energy is passed in a pure state without the mental state of the person you are communicating with being able to interpret what you say. Silence is more than mental.

For example, when two people are in the same energy and they have a radiant love for each other, their communication becomes almost telepathic. Telepathy is a form of spiritual communication by which two people feel the same energy; they are both immersed in an unconditional love. Beyond words, the magic of love transports themselves on the wings of communion.

Communication is an exchange and not a battle, so renounce criticism and rumour mongering from your discussions. Believe me, you will only gain advantages from the conversations; you will avoid controversy or conflict… which is the best way of coming out of them successfully.

Conversely, if in the heat of conversation the person you are speaking to criticise you, don’t react immediately by taking it personally. Even if this criticism of you has a certain basis in fact, don’t take it as a personal attack.

What’s happening in fact?
Most of the time, the person you are talking to is confronted with his own feelings, beliefs and opinions. He tries to send “emotional poison” in order to unsettle you, but actually he does nothing more than consciously projects onto you his own resentment.

If you take it personally, you feel offended and your reaction will be to defend your opinions, which is likely to cause conflict. Don’t try to show that you are right, by imposing your views and by finding fault in others. Instead show flexibility, skill or compassion; turn the conversation to another subject, change the argument, etc… in short, show you are better than the other person and control the communication.

Here’s a fable that teaches an important principle in communication: it pays to give compliments.

After a long day’s work, a farmer put in front of his farm workers a large pile of hay, as a supper. The men asked him angrily if he had lost his mind, and he answered:

"How could I know that you’d spot the difference? I’ve fed you for twenty years. And in all that time, you’ve only ever said to me once that you don’t eat hay!"

Communicating well implies complimenting people honestly and sincerely. In general, it is much less painful to hear negative remarks after a compliment on our qualities or those of the person you are speaking to.

· Be attentive

Developing your faculty for listening means being receptive and keeping an open kind. Life presents each of us with many lessons that will be of no use if we are not broadminded.

In addition, being attentive supposes that you know how to profit from messages that reach you from people you are speaking to, verbally or through other means. Indeed, you can be very receptive to what someone says to you, without at the same time being able to “decode” the information (verbal, visual, smells, sounds, kinaesthetic…) delivered during the conversation. To carefully analyse information that people send out, it is necessary to be attentive!

Perhaps you know the story of the very pious man who had an unlimited confidence in God. He spent every day in prayer and he was certain that, if something unwelcome happened to him, the Lord would help him.

One day, it started to rain. This man’s village was flooded, and everyone rushed for get under cover. Neighbours passed very close to his home in their cars and urged him to go with them.

- The Lord will save me, he answered.

The rain continued to fall, and the water level rose so high that the man went up to the first floor of his house. A boat passed by his home, and the occupants urged him to get on broad. But again he answered:

- No, thank you. The Lord will save me.

The floodwaters kept rising, and the man had to take shelter on the roof of his house to take shelter. A helicopter flew over and the pilot yelled:

- I’ll throw down a rope and I’ll pull you up inside.

- That’s very nice of you, the pious man said to the pilot, but the Lord is ready to help me. God will do what He needs to do to save me.

In a few minutes, the water level passed the top of the houses, and the man was washed away and drowned. He arrived in heaven and when God, who was meeting the newcomers, saw him, he was very surprised.

- What are you doing here? Your time hasn’t come yet.

Then the man said to God:

- I believed in you, I believed that you would come to save me. I waited and you didn’t come. What happened?

And God replied:

- I sent you a car, a boat and even a helicopter. What more do you want?

The moral of the story is that you have to pay attention to messages that you receive and don’t force them to give you the signals that you are waiting for.

You should know that communication doesn’t solve everything: it’s understanding the messages that enrich our relationships with others, and a lack of understanding poisons them.

For example: how many times after you have argued with someone dear to you have you found that the disagreement came from a simple misunderstanding? The better we know each other, the more we grow to understand each other. However, it’s not unusual to misunderstand the intentions or words of others.

Most tension and poor communication comes from misunderstanding. To avoid them, it is right that you make an effort to communicate, but your efforts will only be really effective if you aim to create understanding.

This understanding happens on several levels:

- Understanding yourself and others better.

- Understanding that men and women react differently to stress.

- Understanding the emotions or feelings underlay the reactions of others.

- Accepting that appearances can be misleading (for example: when someone shrugs their shoulders at you, this might not have the same meaning for them as it does for you).

- Accepting that what might be simple for you to say might be different for others.

- Accepting that certain words that might seem comforting could actually be hurtful for the other person.

- Accepting that what is good for you is not certain to be good for others.

Not forgetting that through their World View, others speak a “different language”, even if it sounds a bit like yours.

· Other people are a mirror for yourself

Please think about this fundamental truth:

If you like or you hate something in someone else, then you like or hate it in yourself.

This is the conclusion of several teams of social science experts (psychologists, sociologists, neurologists, philosophers….) during experiments bringing together many social and economic classes, from tests carried out over several years.

You get a first impression when you meet someone for the first time. You decide in an instant whether you like the person or not. You decide through tiny details, such as their perfume or the colour of their eyes, or by recollections from your own unconscious memories.

In fact, the reactions that we have to other people are a barometer for the way that we see ourselves. They say much more about us than the other person. If we like or hate something in the other person, it’s because we like or hate it in ourselves.

People are spontaneously attracted to people who are like themselves and instinctively reject people who are different. We judge others through our own experiences, our feelings and our beliefs. Despite that, we are convinced that we are perfectly objective, because we usually remain fixed to our own World View.

However, try to imagine that people who you meet will, like a mirror, give you back very important information. If you accept this principle, every new meeting will give you the opportunity to understand yourself better and develop your knowledge.

Suppose for a moment that qualities that you admire in others – their energy, their talents – are in fact the characteristics that you want in yourself. Doesn’t this illuminate your idea of your own worth?

In the same way, you can think of people you don’t like as “gifts”, because they highlight the things that you don’t like in yourself. Every time that you are annoyed, hurt or irritated by someone else, think that you have the chance to pay them back for a forgotten episode of anger, sorrow or irritation.

Being able to distinguish weaknesses in others allows you the compassion to put your arm round them, and perhaps gives you the opportunity to soften your damning judgement of yourself too. If you do this, it also becomes possible to consider people who approach you as mirrors on yourself, whether they are people you like or people you don’t like.

In this way, you will be able to discern your own qualities, but also the aspects of your own personality that you don’t like. The point of this rule is to move from judging to exploring your own personality. To do this, you need to be able to evaluate all the decisions, judgements and projections that you make about others, and look at these things as revealing clues to allow you to “cure” your own weaknesses and to gain your own integrity.

Absorbing the lessons learnt from following this rule, you will develop more tolerance, open-mindedness, compassion, the ability to listen, and you will take a decisive step towards very profitable communication.

· The magic of a good impression

You are digging. If the spade is put in properly, you will remove a good shovelful. You are swimming. It’s the push off the wall that propels you down the pool. You are writing. The quality of your story depends on the first paragraph.

A good first impression has always helped the people who knew how to make the most of it.

When we meet people for the first time, it is our clothes rather than our personality that makes the strongest impression. What we wear makes a good or bad impression, and illustrates our character and social position.

The right clothes mean Strength, Power. You must make a good impression on the world if you want to make a success of your social relationships…. And to even create miracles. It’s a fact that the world judges you according to the clothes that you wear and treats you accordingly.

Presenting yourself badly attracts a feeling of mistrust from others; a poor appearance does not just indicate a lack of care, but even a depressed and morbid state of mind. Learn how to impress people you meet by your immaculate appearance.

That’s life: those who have will be given more – so “pretend” to have things. Act as if you are a success, have great self-assurance and self-confidence. Beautiful new clothes have a “magical” effect on the way we carry ourselves, and give their wearer the feeling of success and self-esteem.

Look at nature: the peacock does not spread its tail to disturb its neighbours and the lion does not bristle its mane out of animosity – these are nature’s ways of expressing their majesty, to make a good impression.

If you want to attract influential, benevolent and protective relationships, if you want to rely on the support of people around you, then you need to appear to be a success before you actually are one. For example, you can wear things that suggest wealth or luxury: gold, silk, etc. Also take care of your appearance, your skin, your hands (hands tell us a lot about someone), and your hairstyle….

Always keep in mind that the impression that you make on others is very important: your luck depends mainly on what others think of you.

· The tricks that make communication easier

Recognise faults: Everyone can deny that they are wrong. Only great people are capable of admitting that they are wrong. Communicating well means admitting your faults, promptly and sincerely.

Speak vigorously: Taking the eyes and seizing the imagination of others means you have more chance to convince them.

Speak indirectly: If you have to point out errors or faults in others, it’s best to do it in an indirect way so that you don’t hurt their feelings. It is also good to mention your own mistakes before those of others… you must always give others the chance to save face.

The theory of three Yes’s: There’s a theory, proved many times, that if you manage to get someone you are speaking to, to say “yes” twice, the third time they will always say “yes”. So to get someone to admit something, it’s useful to ask two easier questions that the other person must answer “yes” and then ask the third question that is so important to you.

In a similar way: to get your ideas accepted, it is sometimes useful to make the other person believe that the idea came from them …

THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES THAT ATTRACT LUCK AND MONEY

2007-01-18T16:05:00.000+01:00

To know everything about Maria Duval, go to www.mariaduval.eu

How can you explain that some people live in comfort and are very prosperous whilst others only experience depressing failure and restrictions of all sorts?

In fact, if these people don’t have a pleasant life it is because they are not aware of these secrets and how to put them into practice in order to transform them into tangible riches.

Wealth obeys certain specific “rules” that must be respected if you want to win favours from Providence.

That is why I will now tell you how to carefully and consciously apply the laws of success, to help you live a fuller life and earn financial rewards.

These secrets will become yours: as a result you will soon have the ability to capitalise on the potential luck lying “asleep” inside you.

*****

The first key point is that you need to love money if you want it to love you.

I know that this statement goes against the traditional morals we are taught. But it is true in the world of the occult. If you don’t love money it will shy away from you. Lots of people lack money because they bear a grudge against money in general and also against those who, in their view, have too much. This is the biggest mistake you can make. It is as serious as pushing away the person you love and then complaining that you’re alone. You mustn’t push away what you want, otherwise the thing or person you want will never come to you.

GENERAL RULE: Love money without false shame and it will love you. Don’t ever criticise its power or nature. There is no such thing as dirty money, but rather wicked minds that dirty it, which is very different.

The first stage consists of changing your state of mind in order to imagine your long-term financial success. Let me explain: access to material comforts is a process and not a state. What is the difference?

A state refers to something temporary that is likely to change, such as, for example, ice that melts once the temperature rises above 0° Centigrade.

This means that if you imagine riches as a state, you will always be stressed – more or less consciously – by the idea of losing it all.

On the contrary, a process is something that is with you throughout your life and never fails you. By opening up your heart and your mind to wealth, you will build up a feeling of riches inside you that no one and nothing can take away from you.

Tell yourself that enjoying financial success is being able to look yourself in the mirror at any time and seeing a worthy person you look up to as a model to follow.

You must believe that Life has given a divine glow to every human being. You can and should seize this wonderful and unlimited creative heritage that lies within you, transforming these spiritual riches in you into external material benefits.

You are here on this earth to lead a full and rewarding life. Real riches are the result of a frame of mind through which all we need comes to us without too much effort, so that our desires can be fulfilled. Riches are part of the reality and the goal of this guide is to help you to see the nature of this reality.

It is important you understand this: thoughts are also impulses of cosmic energy with the power to manifest themselves – for good or bad – in the real world. And it is not because they are invisible when they appear in our minds that they have no impact on the real world.

Here is another important secret: our experiences of joy and sorrow, success and failure, riches and poverty, all these seem to happen to us, but at a very basic level (the seed, thought-seed) we are the ones that bring them to pass.

It should be clear to you that your destiny is bound up with your thoughts and feelings. Through consciousness you possess everything; consciousness of health brings health, consciousness of riches brings riches.

Look after the hope deep in your heart as if it were the most precious of divine gifts, because hope is the basis on which what you expect will determine the outcome. So always expect the best and you will see that the outcome is automatically included in hope. Become accustomed to thinking in terms of comfort, riches and wealth.

And above all never say: “I don’t deserve it ... I have no right ... it is fine for others but not for me ... money is bad”, etc. Never belittle yourself.

Once and for all get rid of all such negative thoughts from your mind that may attract failure and difficulties.

I will now show you a powerful and effective esoteric technique that will sow positive “thought-seeds” in your subconscious. It will enable you to develop the consciousness of riches.

THE WEALTH RITUAL

This Ritual is performed as follows. At night before going to sleep, go to a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed (telephone, television, etc.).

- Sit down, straighten your back and place your hands on your thighs. If you want, you can sit on the floor with your legs crossed. The important thing is to be able to stay in this position for a short while without being uncomfortable. If necessary place a cushion under your buttocks.

- Close your eyes and start to breathe in a natural and relaxed manner. Each time you breathe out, feel that you are becoming more and more relaxed.

- Imagine that the cosmic energy flowing around the whole universe is satisfying your needs. Let this energy flow into you and fill you with all its beneficial treasures. Don’t worry ... the universe contains all imaginable riches and there is enough to go around.

- Feel as if there were lots of room in your heart for this wealth ... feel the ray of Love and Light flowing from your heart and slowly dissolving your fear, your limitations and all your negative thoughts.

- Now visualise a white screen behind your closed eyes, as if you were at the cinema. Think deeply and clearly about what you would do, what you would say if you had all the money you needed to fulfil your dreams.

- Let images flow freely through your mind and onto the white screen.

For example, if you dream of having a house, imagine it down to the smallest detail, wander into the rooms, admire the large chimney in the sitting room, walk around the garden, visualise your friends saying: “Your house is amazing, congratulations!”

Keep one thing in mind: riches, in whatever form, are good and desirable and you are worthy of them. Develop a benevolent attitude towards wealth and in return it will reward you.

- Thank the Universe by expressing your gratitude, breathing deeply, and open your eyes.

- When you wake up in the morning murmur what you want in a low voice. For example: “I have a beautiful house, my bank account is full, I have a great job, I’m in perfect health, etc.”. Once again visualise the images from the night before in order to strengthen your wish through thought and emotion.

IMPORTANT: Continue to be firmly convinced that you ALREADY have what you want.

It is important to perform this Ritual by concentrating and being fully focussed on what you are doing. On the other hand, it is not necessary to be always consciously building up a positive attitude in order for riches to follow. In fact, constantly trying to develop a positive frame of mind can sometimes prove to be a source of tension. Let things happen on their own; this magical knowledge will be automatically organised within you.

In that way your behaviour may change on its own, spontaneously, with a minimum of effort on your part. Like a gardener, who isn’t always tending his plants, but is nevertheless constantly watching their growth, where necessary giving them fertiliser or pruning them. He trusts Nature and it does the rest...

Like him, you should do the “Wealth Ritual” whenever you feel that you need to imbue your thoughts and feelings with positive energy.

*****

The second key point is that you have to use your imagination for your dreams.

Large companies, careers and large fortunes, relationships, children, health, internal growth don’t happen “by chance”. They don’t just fall out of the sky or suddenly appear out of nowhere, emerging out of the depths. That is not how it works!

Everything that is successful, or that increases it, comes originally from an idea, a dream, from the “seed” that grows in the heart and mind of a human being.

A person without dreams – no matter how modest – will not enjoy a satisfactory level of success. Now honestly ask yourself: do you have a dream in life ... and if so, what is it today?

When we were children we all dreamt of what we wanted to be when we grew up: astronaut, scientist, actor, doctor, parent, farmer, beautician, teacher, fireman, etc.

During our childhood years full of games and our teens full of dreams, we tried to take on a large number of roles. Every role, job or achievement crowned with success seemed possible and real in our imagination.

But as we grew older we started to limit our possibilities. Teachers, parents, other adults, even our friends, advised us, rightly or wrongly, against doing this or that. All too often, we limited our own possibilities and “decided” to take on board the restrictive opinions of others ... to the point of living our lives in a straightjacket.

The large fertile fields of our lives started to shrink before our eyes, until our vision of future success was reduced to the size of a “flowerpot”: all of a sudden most of the world seemed off limits and inaccessible in our minds.

However, the important thing to realise is obviously that the unlimited potential of our childhood, as well as the narrow confines of our adulthood, are both above all products of our imaginations.

It is important you understand this: if you believe you can, you will without doubt be able. If you believe that you cannot, you will clearly not be able to.

Trust in your dreams in order for them to come through. Believe me, it will cost you nothing to try and you can really benefit!

You should be aware that the answer to your wish depends on the strength of your imagination and not on outside events. A person who is limited to their five physical senses sees an acorn while people with vibrant imaginations see an oak tree.

And when you wake up to the power of the imagination, you will discover that imagining and feeling the reality of your desire will result in you fulfilling this desire.

Your outside world, all that has happened in the past, events, your experiences, are also projections of your mental images – in order words, of your imagination. When you become aware of the hidden world of your imagination (the cause) and of the outside world (the effects), you will start fulfilling your desires.

In truth, in this process, a process that everyone goes through more or less consciously depending on how aware they are, we are simply complying with the cosmic principle of the Universal Law of Manifestation.

In olden times people called the imagination “God’s workshop”. Make use of your imagination to fulfil your dreams, your hopes. Define and imagine the perfect outcome for what you want. Feel the reality of your desire as if it were achieved ... and the outcome will follow on its own.

You have just learnt something very important: the imagination is an amazing strength. It is also a skill.

There is another Universal Law that teaches us that “if we don’t use our skills, we lose them”. In the same way as an orchard left untended ends up producing bitter or scrawny fruit.

Some good news for you: it is absolutely possible to benefit from the power of the imagination; to do so I will show you some helpful exercises that will enable you to stimulate the power of your creative imagination.

Exercises to do on a very regular basis:

- From now on you need to become fully aware of your senses. Try and take in as many images, sounds, smells, textures and tastes as possible.

- Feel the texture of wet sand, of fresh earth, of dew covered grass, or of the carpet under your feet. Experience the smell of the countryside, the ocean air, the smell of trees and flowers, aromas given off in a restaurant or a bakery.

- Take note of all the shapes and colours as you walk from one place to another or as you take it easy over the weekend. Be more curious and conscious of what is around you.

- When you take part in business or social meetings or meet up with friends and are listening to someone speak, try and imagine the situation being described by that person. Let the words create images, emotions and feelings.

- When you speak, use descriptive and evocative words. Describe events and plans with enthusiasm. In that way you will see the benefit of fuelling better conversation and of becoming a better speaker.

- Sit down comfortably in a chair. Relax for a few seconds. Take note of the objects around you. Now close your eyes and try and remember as many objects as possible in the room. The number of objects you can remember will surprise you.

- Do this exercise as often as possible. When you remember an object, try also to recall its shape, colour, feel and size. The key is to recall the object by what it looks like and not its name. Pick up an object and close your eyes. Feel the object as you move it from one hand to another. Follow the contours with your fingers and, at the same time, imagine its shape in your mind.

- Try and watch television with your eyes closed. This may seem a little silly, but it is without doubt the best way of using your imagination via this medium. Television is one of the main factors causing the suppression of children’s imagination at such a young age. It provides them with very few opportunities for interaction and doesn’t allow them to stimulate their own imaginations since all the images are provided.

- Write down your thoughts in a notebook on a regular basis. Put your ideas on paper as they come to you, without worrying unduly about spelling, grammar, syntax which tend to inhibit spontaneity.

By regularly practicing these simple but nevertheless powerful exercises, you will be able to visualise in a very effective manner. You will feel your imagination waking up. You will thus be able to use it like a “library of video-clips”, full of memories and like a meteorological satellite allowing you to predict a sunny future.

BETTER STILL: your most secret dreams will thus become clearer .. and above all will start to gradually come through.

Just like the sprout from the seed, which though not yet visible since it is underground, already contains the future plant.

*****

The third key point is to become aware of your goals.

The next step requires you to be conscious of what you really want. Once you are fully focussed on your dream, you will be ready to transform your dream into a goal.

What is the difference between a dream and a goal?

A dream is something that you WOULD LIKE to experience in life, whereas a goal is something you HAVE THE INTENTION of achieving.

Lots of people dream of living a rich lifestyle, sometimes they even dream of it down to the smallest detail. However, they will never move onto the next step, which is setting goals, for one specific reason: they don’t really have the intention of transforming their dream into reality.

Having an aim, a goal, is a key driver in life, something that gives purpose to your life and makes it special. Without aims, we labour in a job without ever building a career. Without goals, weekends are nothing more than a necessary break in work.

Whatever the aims are is up to you. You must be capable of expressing them in very simple terms; for example: “My aim is to have my own house where I could spend happy days with the people I love” ... or perhaps: “I want to enrich my spirit by travelling throughout the world and discovering the diversity of peoples and cultures” ... or perhaps: “My aim in life is to care for people, to make everybody I meet happy and to encourage peace”, and so forth...

It is important that you realise that a goal is not a whim, but rather a sincere and lasting dream worthy of interest, pushed to the next level when you are ready to think of it in terms of numbers, places, facts and details, but without ever losing sight of the desire to reach the goal you have set for yourself.

I would like to stress another key point: having a goal not only allows you to more readily employ your personal resources and creativity but also significantly helps the free flow of universal cosmic energy through you, which can thus act on your behalf.

The direct result of the free flow of energy is that MONEY thus naturally and spontaneously flows into your life. Money, but also wealth, love, luck, success...

Moreover, a goal represents a valuable guide, because it will determine how you will choose to divide up your time and on the basis of what priorities.

Would you like your life to be full and comfortable? Like, for example offering gifts to your family and friends, paying for your children’s education, building your house, going on holidays, changing your car, and lots of other things. Your desires are completely reasonable.

If you want to attract money in order to satisfy them, believe in your dreams, transform them into goals and detailed action plans and plan them over time.

This is absolutely crucial; this is a demonstration of an occult law that states that what cannot be expressed cannot become a reality. The Bible says: “Ask and you will receive”.

This divine law in fact reveals to us the essence of the Word of our Creator and how to pray: but if while praying, we don’t clearly and wholeheartedly state what we want to happen in life, the message will not be heard by Higher Powers. And thinking in a confused and vague manner is not enough: in fact, it is as if it didn’t exist!

So long as you don’t set deadlines for your goals, they will not come through. If, on the other hand, you set yourself a target, you will then have a guideline that will motivate you and enable you to work happily, thereby creating a positive attitude (positive thoughts, emotions and feelings = creative energy). You will thus have taken a decisive step on the path to success.

Don’t ever forget that: anyone who can manage her time will find herself “as if by magic” in the right place at the right time; she will “convert” time into money.

Here are some useful suggestions that have proven their worth: don’t hesitate to apply them, because they will help with the fulfilment of your projects, attracting money to your life, without fail, and you will thus more easily reach your goals.

• First of all write down your goals

Do so clearly, in order to be fully coherent. As if you were drawing up a “contract” with yourself, which will enable you to enter into a good relationship with yourself!

Take the time to do as detailed a list as possible. And take pleasure in doing it! Let yourself go. Aim high and be specific. This list of your goals must reflect your needs and desires, and not those that others express on your behalf. The best goals are your own, because they give you the satisfaction and joy of having achieved something yourself.

• Set out your goals in order of priority

List them briefly and then class them in order of importance. Try and visualise the outcome. Stay in touch with what you feel when you imagine it and freely express the emotions and thoughts that run through you.

Continue to try different possibilities, until you have found their order of priority. You can take as long as you need with this process.

Set aside your list for a couple of days, and then go back to it. Have another look at it, possibly reorganising it. Once your goals are in order, focus on the one that is top priority.

• Divide your goals into categories

So long as a goal doesn’t have a deadline, it isn’t really a goal. You can establish more or less three types of goals: short-term ones – they can be achieved within a period of 3 to 6 months, medium-term ones – these can be achieved in between six months and three years, and longer-term goals that can only be achieved in over three years.

• Set deadlines for your goals

Let your goals “become real” by setting deadlines.

Imagine for example that your top medium-term priority is to visit a foreign country that has long fascinated you. It is now possible to plan it over time, by fixing various dates that will mark out its completion.

You can express it in this way:

- Financially: “I’ll save 5% of my salary every month for this trip”.

- Intellectually: “I’ll sign up for a language course to familiarise myself with the basics of the language spoken in that country, I’ll get information and get in contact with competent bodies (embassies, tourist agencies, international organisations, etc. ...), I’ll explore the culture and traditions of this country by reading such or such book”, etc.

- Physically: “I’ll draw up a calendar of the mandatory vaccinations I need, I’ll get in shape through regular physical or sporting activities: gym or swimming once or twice a week”.

- Socially: build friendships with people sharing the same passion, make new friends likely to help you with your plans, find new pastimes connected with your goal.

• Develop a “magical mindset” vis-à-vis your goals

When setting your goals, verbally or even in writing, I suggest that you only use the first person (using the pronoun “I”). Use as many action adverbs as possible such as “easily, gradually, happily, naturally, simply”, etc. Choose words that have emotional connotations, such as “with enthusiasm, with joy, with pleasure”. Use language that gives the impression that you have already achieved your goals, in particular using the present tense and not the future.

Then use the following Magic Ritual: it is designed to powerfully charge the projects included on your list with universal cosmic energy.

RITUAL OF THE CREATIVE MANIFESTATION
Location: go somewhere you won’t be disturbed. Take your list of priority goals and carefully fold it in four. Sit down in a comfortable position, making sure your back is completely straight. Place the folded sheet in front of you.

Energising: shake your hands energetically to either side of you in order to above all get rid of any static electricity. Then join them above your head so as to gather cosmic energy. Then rub them in front of you, as if you were washing them.

Now turn the palm of your left hand upwards, place each of the fingers in this hand, one by one, in your right hand and pull them slowly backwards and downwards, letting them go abruptly when you come to the end of each one. Do the same thing with your right hand by stretching each of your fingers using your left hand.

Then join your hands in front of you, placing both palms together, and turn your fingers towards the centre of your chest, your elbows raised outwards, in order to fill your hands with energy; stay like that for a few moments. Finally, place them on your thighs, palms upwards, and let the energy flow into your hands.

Purification: take your sheet of goals in your joined hands and place it in front of you. Now imagine a “shower of golden light” flowing onto your sheet in order to take away whatever negative energies they may have (in your mind ask that these energies disperse with the shower of light). Imagine these “impurities” flowing into the earth and burning up. Finally visualise your sheet surrounded with golden light.

Impregnation: keep your sheet at the height of your heart. While letting your energies impregnate it, focus for a few moments on your aim.

Programming: with your sheet still at the height of your heart, say the following formula out loud:

“I, (say your name), imbue this sheet of goals with all my love and energy for my aim to come to pass, for my good and the good of us all.”

You can add your own personal formula of thanks to the universe.

Once you have performed this Ritual, you will now be guided towards the achievement of your goal: universal energy will support you, like a powerful spiritual force of love.

Important additional advice

When you have done this Ritual, your sheet of goals will become sacred; don’t give it or show it to anyone else.

Always keep it on you (wallet, handbag, etc.). Consult it often. When you need to make a decision, ask yourself if your choice will help or damage the achievement of one of your main goals.

In this way, you will be sure that you are strengthening your goals in your mind, by literally developing a “goal-driven mindset”. Your goals stay priorities despite any distractions or obstacles you may meet along the way. You must organise your daily activities and your schedule so as to help you reach your goals. On that basis only decide to do those things that bring you closer to your aims.

You now know the key points on which to build a happy and prosperous life. Put these fundamental principles into practice and the secret instructions I have just given you, apply them on a daily basis, with confidence and perseverance ... and you will soon see for yourself that money will not be long flowing into your life.

All that you truly want to achieve will thus be achieved in harmony with the Divine Order. Nothing will now hinder the free flow of universal cosmic energy through you and around you; the “River of Money” will once again flow into your life and luck will be your trustworthy servant.

Remember that once you start thinking in a positive, constructive, peaceful and loving manner, i.e. in harmony with the eternal and unchangeable cosmic Laws, your subconscious will immediately respond to your thoughts, to your constructive mental images; the balance will be re-established, the past forgotten.

All that now remains is for me to show you how to “activate” the Lucky Charm I magnetised specially for you. In this way, this powerful “Money Magnet” can bring you the money that the blockage had previously curbed. I would advise you to constantly keep it close to you (on you, or in your bag, your wallet, under your pillow, etc.).

This is what you need to do:

- At night before going to bed, find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed – your room for example. Light a white candle and place it near you.

- Ideally wear comfortable clothing that is not too tight around your waste, chest or neck, so as to ensure the free flow of universal cosmic energy. It should also be made from natural materials (linen, cotton, wool...); avoid synthetic modern materials that tend to disturb energy fields. Also take off any metal jewellery you’re wearing (ring, necklace, bracelet, pendants, etc.)

- Sit down in a comfortable position with your hands on your thighs. You can also sit against the back of the chair if that helps you to keep your back completely straight.

- At first, close your eyes and relax. Relax by breathing calmly and deeply ... breathe naturally, without forcing your breathing in or out ... simply be aware of your stomach steadily rising and falling ... feel that you are ever calmer and more relaxed...

- Now imagine and feel a crimson red coloured energy field surrounding and protecting you. This soft and beneficial energy will bring you peace and harmony. Keep your eyelids shut, continue to breathe calmly and deeply, fully enjoying the peace that wraps you with a protective well-being.

- Now place your Money Magnet on your chest, at the height of your heart, and say out loud:

“I accept myself and I like myself as I am”

“I forgive myself for having negative thoughts about myself or about others, and I have resolved to keep them away from me”.

“I consciously declare that money should flow freely and happily through my life and that there always be a divine surplus”.

- Then repeat three times:

“Money flows freely to me, I make use of it wisely for my good and the good of others”

(Put all your heart, emotion and energy into it; let your desire and love radiate to the ends of the earth).

- Open your eyes, blow out the candle, thanking the universe that will grant your wish.

advice:

The instructions and advice in this document obey certain specific rules. By carefully respecting them, your efforts will be rewarded!

If you need money quickly to improve your quality of life, then visualise the following: focus intensely on the sum of money you need to get you out of your current difficulty.

Imagine, for example, this sum of money flowing into your life in the form of a cheque: see it written on the cheque, clearly visualise the numbers making up the amount.

Imagine yourself depositing this money in the bank, visualise/imagine/feel what you will be able to do with this money, see your family rejoice for you, etc. Enjoy this moment by imagining that you have already got satisfaction, as if your wish had ALREADY been granted.

You should understand that the clearer and in more detail you visualise the improvements you would like to see happen in your life, the quicker and more powerfully they will be achieved. This is an absolute rule that doesn’t just affect the financial domain but rather all aspects of your life.

This process applies regardless of the means by which Providence grants your wish. The money magically granted to you can come in the form of a gambling win (lotto, horse racing...), an unexpected inheritance, a repayment of a debt that you no longer expected, a reward, a salary increase, etc.
