A Daily Sacred Mantra

The Gayatri Mantra is said to be the most sacred of all mantras.

It calls in a protection resonance around you, a sacred healing.

The Words:

Om Bhur Buvaha Suvaha,

Thath Savithur Varenyam,

Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi,

Dhiyo Yonaha Prachodayath

The mantra says:

We contemplate the glory of Light illuminating the three worlds: gross, subtle, and causal.

I am that vivifying power, love, radiant illumination, and divine grace of universal intelligence.

We pray for the divine light to illumine our minds.

The feeling from it is so amazing; I say this mantra many times a day in reverence of this amazing journey.

Love love,

Elecia

Outside My Window

Here's a picture I took today of the double rainbow that appeared right outside my window.

The moment was so fleeting, I wanted it to last so much longer. It was incredibly beautiful.

Okay, I can't help it...in the spirit of this occasion, I have to post this video:

Double Rainbow

haha.

More Healing Goodness

Another staple ingredient I use in all my herbal salves along with Calendula is Comfrey.

The leaves are used in salve making and they have amazing healing benefits. Staph infections for instance, which are caused by Staphylococcal bacteria, are quickly killed by simply applying Comfrey salve to the infected area. Open wounds heal extremely fast - usually within 24 hours or less- and usually leave no scars behind as well. Broken bones are known to heal faster when Comfrey is applied to the outside of the affected area, and torn ligaments and tendons also heal quite quickly when a Comfrey salve is applied externally. Not only does Comfrey start the healing process quite fast, it also helps relieve pain as soon as it comes in contact with the injured area. It's also excellent for bringing down swelling and reducing inflammation.

Comfrey also heals hard-to-heal wounds such as bites from brown recluse spiders, diabetic ulcers, and bedsores.

Plants have awesome powers; they never cease to amaze me.

The Hooded Sage

"People like to push the blame of their pain onto others and external conditions. While other people and external conditions can affect the quality of your energy—it is precisely within your very own ability to discipline your own emotion and mind and maintain the quality of your own inner feelings that grants you the very ability to withstand things. Essentially, all you have to really do is vibrate faster than anything that is affecting you. If you don’t understand what it means to vibrate faster—understand this. You are a reflection of your own attitudes and inner feelings. Change your attitudes and inner feelings, and your energy vibrates faster, because they are essentially the same thing. Energy is a feeling.

There is nothing that you can’t heal, if you can only change the way you feel. Put that on your fridge.

Emotional reaction and rigid intellectual opinions are the very things that degrade the very quality of a person’s body, life, and spirit. I try to teach people: No Emotion—No Mind. No Reaction—No Opinion. Because emotion is nothing more than a reaction of the rigid intellectual opinions of the human ego. And the rigid intellectual opinions of the human ego are nothing more than programming from the hammer of conditioning. Rigid intellectual opinions are the very things that form the limitations of one’s own perception and reality. No Opinion=No Reaction. No Reaction=No Imbalance. No Imbalance=Balance.
If you want to evolve and develop your energy, you have to ditch your rigid intellectual opinions."

This has never been explained better, in my opinion. I have a very deep respect for Khris Krepcik, who was a student of Stuart Wilde for many years.
