MODE of Cosmic Therapy: “What’s it all about, Alfie?”

Life is a continuous series of organizing (shifting around) various precepts which are administered and applied. Some of them are more relevant than others. Others are totally insignificant and meaningless. More often then not, most of them are indelibly ingrained habitual teachings which have been thoroughly monotonously learned over the course of a lifetime.  These conditioned responses govern and direct our automatic responses without thought or recall. We are so accustomed to thinking and behaving in a certain way, the perpetual idea that another realm of molecular activity is taking place in and around us seems ludicrous. We have become so familiar with the people in our relationships, the homes in which we inhabit, the jobs in which we show up for and the perceptions we have established for ourselves, we wouldn’t know our real selves if were properly introduced .

We live our lives on what may be referred to as ‘automatic pilot’.  Very little effort, inclination, impetus, or imperative purpose generate our basic actions. We ‘kind of’ move along with the rest of the satiated cattle in the fenced capacity of secure domain. “No need to rock the boat; don’t fix something when it isn’t broken, right”  Most assuedly Wrong!  We are curious creatures, inbred to continually seek knowledge! “Above all else, get thee wisdom…” Our restless natures cry out for penetrative excellence.  Unless we are acted upon from some outside force, we will continue on the path of ‘rote and drill’ until they plant daisies over us. And, as Peggy Lee, the beautiful Blue-Eyed Singer so poignantly asked, “Is That All There Is, My Friend?”

We, as divine human beings, exercise our sacred right to inhabit this planet, and because we do, we must demand of ourselves to discover ‘what it all means’, really. Don’t take my word for it or anyone else’s.  Find out for yourself. Through sheer unadulterated experience! Though it is quite easy to become distracted and unfocused, (simply going through the motions without disturbance of the accepted flow), should you be so interested, inclined and involved enough, now is the time to pull together the various scattered parts of your sanctified self to construct a unified blissful whole. It will require of you, an unrequited plunge into the depths of your unconscious motivations. How to bring this about may be the next obvious question. A self-determined decision of inherent Obedient WILL opens the door. “Open Says-a Me” does the trick.

On this incalculable descent, you will immediately be consciously aware of the two opposing forces operating.  The ‘magic’ gift lies in reconciling these energies, blending their opposing forces for added inquisitive dimension. First, encountered, is the power of strength; then, the power of docility.  These two imminent forces are magnified by the power of silence while observing your reactions.  When conducting the preparatory stages of the self-revealing inventory project, you must be exceedingly careful not to disperse the unstable electricity too soon.  Is it not written, “Cast not thy pearl before swine?”

In other words, do not seek validation, support, or understanding from others on your sacred secret tumbling journey into the deepest part of your revered self.   Only time and experience will show you the unspeakable way into the realm of superlative glory. The process of anxious forgetful dilution tempers the resistance to speak too soon and too often.  In astrological terms, the planet Mercury, capricious and guileful, can be your best friend in delivering the necessary ‘omens’ of radical evolvement. The Hebrew letter Zayin, (some texts ascertain) affiliated with the astrological sign Gemini will suffrice. Since Gemini rules the sublime energy of music, it too, can offer you indisputable clues. (Just friendly suggestions)

  Gemini, a preparedly stable sign, completely aware of all things at all times. (No exceptions) will, no doubt, be a predominant force on your spiraling  journey. (People, places, things with unending indomitable conversation) Though the new and unfamiliar circumstances may appear as if you are unaware of exactly what is taking place, nothing could be further from the truth. You are more than ready for the illustrious trip of rambunctious plummeting into the ineffable joyous wisdom of your soul.   You too, are to make yourself ready by placing the appropriate ‘oil’ in the lamps.  What does this mean, exactly? Pay attention to your thoughts, as if they were objectifications of your innermost desires. (Unbeknown to you, [which they, in fact, are]).

In effect, you will be dealing with the two opposing sides of your instinctive nature. The male and the female aspects of your personality; one needing to lunge ahead while the other cautiously restrains for the appropriate time to act in purposeful manifestation. Noting the obvious scented cues can be exercised by acute listening and paying careful attention the signs, symbols and musical omens.  Be exceedingly attuned to your dreams in this particular dispensationof time, as well, for the information given will be highly advantageous. .

 Life offers us the necessary tools to build what we will.  But, we must “put our hands to the ploughshares.”  As gloriously mysterious as we want to make the journey home, we can with added enthusiasm and increased imagination. It’s at our discretion to choose the various components preparing, arranging, categorizing, prioritizing, and selecting needed elements of desired appetitive. The zigged zagged puzzle will reveal its savory contents to “those who seek diligently.”  Much is to be done in the preparatory stages. No jumping ahead in the game. You must first get your house in order. It is the time to clean, disperse the clutter and dispense the excess of needless pointless destructive gossip.

  Be watchful of the tone n your voice and the gauge the amount of negativity associated. You are always solely responsible for the cutting, biting, sarcastic remarks made. You will be continually readjusting, aligning, and straightening out various sundry complicated matters in the process of growth of the new venture to be undertaken. Do not get fixed.  Be flexible, pliable and malleable enough to ‘turn on a dime’ when the unexpected occasion calls for it. Then and only then, will you know for certain “What it’s all about.”

Every home could use the inviting scent of the holidays, the warming smells of spring or the calming feeling of lavender filling every room. Invite positive feelings into your home with the glow of fragrance lamps.

Every year millions of homes around the world are stocked with scented candles that serve as therapeutic reminders of long past memories, romantic encounters and current seasons. Filling the air with these aromatic smells has become an important part of balancing one’s own self while relaxing at home. Although candles can serve their purpose they lack several positives that fragrance lamps can give you.

In almost all cases candles lack beauty because they generally come in a clear or tinted glass jar with a color of wax that most resembles the smell of the candle. This does little to attract the eye and beautify a room. Fragrance lamps on the other hand have been manufactured in a myriad shapes, colors and designs to match any décor that you could think of. They range from tortoise <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.thelampstand.com/lamps.html”>fragrance lamps by Stonewick</a> to snow globe style Geo crystal fragrance lamps by Alexandria. Both serve as shining examples of elegance that appeals to those attracted to traditional lamp styles while The Gossamer Wings fragrance lamp by Ne Qwa Art and Redilere Fragrance lamps both resemble contemporary designs that would look at home in a museum.

Another drawback to traditional candles is their short life span. Often a candle is burnt out in a few days and with the extravagant cost of today’s candles even long life cancels fall short with cost effectiveness. <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.thelampstand.com/lamps.html>Fragrance lamps</a> are designed to burn oil which burns longer, warmer and in some cases they are even formulated with all natural scents. The ability to refuel your fragranced lamp makes the initial investment of the lamp a long term investment which will allow you to get more out of your money.

Not only does this help to save money it will also allow you to change the scent of your fragrance lamp to match the seasons or even your current mood. This is a big plus when you think about the savings you can achieve by eliminating the need to buy several different candles for every event. A fragrance lamp eliminates that need and opens up the ability to purchase the oils needed at a fraction of the cost.

With the growing popularity of fragrance lamps for home décor it’s no wonder that more and more people are throwing away their old lackluster candles for oil burning lamps. Their stunning designs and wonderful fragrances are finding their way into homes across the world.

Ten Aromatherapy Remedies for Common Health Problems

By Alexandra Carr

When used wisely, essential oils are less likely to cause side effects than most over-the counter drugs. But it is still advised to use caution.
First-time users should perform a simple skin test to avoid allergic reactions. Place a drop of the oil or oil blend on a cotton swab and apply it on the inside of the wrist or inner elbow. Cover with a bandage and don’t wash the area for 24 hours. If no itching or redness occurs, the oil should be safe for external use.

The following list of natural remedies is not a substitute for any treatment that has been prescribed by your doctor. If you have a serious medical problem, seek competent medical help.

1. Anxiety/Stress

Soothing oils such as lavender, geranium, ylang-ylang, bergamot and chamomile are great for calming weary nerves, particularly when used together. Mix 2 to 4 of these oils in equal parts and store the blend in a small dark glass bottle. When you feel anxious, you can use 50 drops of this blend in a diffuser/ aroma lamp.
For a hot bath, add 6 drops and for a massage oil add 10 drops of the blend per ounce of a carrier oil, such as almond or olive oil.

Citrus essences (ex. orange, lemon, mandarin) are especially recommended to alleviate stress along with cedarwood and clary sage. To melt away stress at the end of the day, you can blend a combination of 2 or 3 of these essential oils to help you relax.
If you have a long commute, put a drop or two of the blend on a tissue or napkin and let it sit on your dashboard. The warmth of the sun diffuses the fragrance and helps you unwind.

Other recommended oils: chamomile, frankincense, lavender, sandalwood, ylang ylang.

2. Arthritis

When arthritis acts up, a blend of aromatic oils massaged into sore joints will help.
Add 6 drops each of rosemary and chamomile to 4 ounces of a carrier oil.
For extra relief, add 10 drops each of rosemary and chamomile to a warm bath and soak for ten minutes.

Other recommended oils: cedarwood, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, vetivert

3. Burns (Serious burns need urgent medical attention)
Use a few drops of undiluted lavender directly on the burn.

Other recommended oils: tea tree

4. Depression

Inhaling an uplifting scent is magnificent therapy for depression.
Floral oils such as rose and jasmine are recommended but very expensive. Other recommended essences just as effective but ‘wallet friendly’ are basil, lavender, clary sage, sandalwood, ylang-ylang and citrus oils like grapefruit, lime, mandarin and bergamot.

Choose one that appeals to you, because if you’ve had a bad association with a particular fragrance, it can make matters worse.

You can inhale the fragrance directly from the bottle or add 3 to 4 drops of your favorite to a tissue, handkerchief or a diffuser. For a warm bath, add 6 to 10 drops. For a massage oil use 10 drops of any one of these oils per ounce of carrier oil.

5. Dermatitis, Eczema and Psoriasis

To soothe inflamed itchy skin, try Roman or German chamomile. Add five drops to a warm bath, soak for ten minutes and apply a soothing body oil. For a body oil; blend 5 drops of chamomile, 10 drops of lavender and 5 drops of bergamot in 2 ounces of a carrier oil.

Other recommended oils: cedarwood, geranium, lavender

6. Drowsiness and Fatigue

To help stay awake on long car trips, use the essential oils rosemary and basil. Put a drop or two of each oil on a napkin or tissue and let it sit on the dashboard. The warmth of the sun or the car heater diffuses the fragrance, which is a great stimulant.
This same blend could be used at home or in your office, use an oil burner, electric diffuser or reed diffuser.
To help fight fatigue, place a drop each of rosemary or geranium and basil on a tissue and inhale whenever you need a quick energy boost.

Other recommended oils: eucalyptus, peppermint, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, palmarosa

7. Hair Loss

To stimulate the scalp, try a blend of rosemary and lavender essential oils. Add 6 drops of each to 4 ounces of warm carrier oil, preferably, avocado oil or olive oil as they both stimulate hair growth.
Massage the mixture into the scalp and allow it to absorb for 20 minutes. Then wash with your regular shampoo, to which you’ve added 3 drops of rosemary.

Other recommended oils: clary sage, peppermint, sage, cedarwood.

8. Headaches/Migraines

The cool scent of peppermint can often relieve headache pain.
Add a drop of peppermint essential oil to any unscented facial lotion and apply the lotion under the nose and behind the ears. Inhaling the fragrance of peppermint from the bottle can also take the edge off a headache.
To ease the pain of a migraine, surround yourself with the healing aroma of rosemary.
At home, massage your face and neck with a solution of 10 drops of rosemary per ounce of carrier oil.
Use a few drops of rosemary in a diffuser or aroma lamp to create a soothing atmosphere.
If you’re on the road, you can apply a drop or two to a tissue and inhale.

Other recommended oils: chamomile, clary sage, lavender.

9. Memory Problems

Try using equal parts rosemary and geranium essential oils in your diffuser to stimulate the memory. Inhaled scents feed directly into the limbic system, the part of the brain that controls memory and learning. Geranium has antidepressant properties, and rosemary is a general mental stimulant, when combined, they have a stronger effect.

10. Sunburn

A great way to soothe sunburned skin is with a cool aromatic bath. Add 20 drops each of lavender and chamomile essential oils to a tubful of cool water and soak for ten minutes.

MODE of Cosmic Therapy: “What’s it all about, Alfie?”

Life is a continuous series of organizing (shifting around) various precepts which are administered and applied. Some of them are more relevant than others. Others are totally insignificant and meaningless. More often then not, most of them are indelibly ingrained habitual teachings which have been thoroughly monotonously learned over the course of a lifetime.  These conditioned responses govern and direct our automatic responses without thought or recall.

What are the elements that would make people choose electric candles over real burning ones? The great advantage of electric candles is that they provide almost the exact type of conditions as their original counterparts, without the associated risks. They are perfect for anyone who suffers from smoke allergies or hypersensitive asthma or for those people who are extremely uncomfortable to leave an unsupervised candle burning in the room. There is no wax dripping, no smoke and no children hazards when you buy electric candles; not to mention that they don’t go off because of the wind when you use them for a special dinner outdoors.

The same type of material is used for both normal and electric candles: paraffin, bees wax, soy wax or bayberries. The light-burning period of electric candles operated by batteries can extend up to one hundred hours. Though the purchase costs are a little higher, there is no other regular candle that could burn as much as an electric one, not to mention the great safety advantage which makes such modern inventions easy to use even around children. The technical development has also allowed the close imitation or recreation of the flickering flame effect by the electric candles.

We could actually say that if you didn’t know a certain candle is electric, you’d be tricked by the diffuse led light into believing that the flame is actually real. Most electric candles are turned on by a simple hand movement thanks to the motion detecting sensor incorporated in it, and they give away the warm light that could easily accompany a child’s sleep. From this point of view and due to the fact that electric candles are more economic than night lamps, they become the favorite choice of many families. Goodbye scary darkness or unsafe areas!

The most advanced types of electric candles use rechargeable batteries, allowing a longer usage; there is a special charging device for the matter that is purchased together with the candles, and it is safe and easy to use. Furthermore, for those people who prefer scented candles, manufacturers have come up with the electric design that also dissipates fragrances. The essential oils incorporated in the wax evaporate under the influence of the warm light of the led and a gentle scent spreads in the room. The Internet offers a wide variety of the so-called flameless electric candles, and you may have a look in the many catalogs to see which models suit your needs best.

Having a unique and natural perfume dispersed into the atmosphere of your home or office can’t help but stimulate the senses. In a refreshing blend of pure and natural essential oils derived from the different parts of the plants such as flowers, berries, leaves, and barks, aromatherapy diffusers are able to provide maximum therapeutic effects both to the body and the mind.

There are varied forms of aromatherapy diffusers and all of which are crafted to disperse distinct fragrances and therapeutic essential oils into the air. Once the people get to take in the pleasing scent and therapeutic effects of aromatherapy diffusers, a rejuvenating feeling is at once acquired.

Homemade candle making has has recently become a big trend. More people everyday are using candle making as a hobby and business opportunity. It’s a great method to obtain meaningful presents for relatives and loved ones and also to bring in a few extra dollars if you sell them. But the art of candle making is anything but new. Long before lamps and light bulbs were even thought of, candles lit the world.

Whether you’re making candles as gifts, or looking to make some cash off the craft, you must first perfect the art of candle making. You should make sure to buy high quality materials for making your candles. Molds, wicks, scents and coloring, made specifically for candle making are available in crafts and hobby shops and online.

The first step in candle making is to melt the wax. To do this you use a double boiler. To set up your double boiler, you take a large pot and fill it with water, then place a smaller pot with the wax in it inside the bigger pot. Wax burns easily during the process of melting, so by using a thermometer to regulate the temperature of the wax and a double boiler you reduce the risk of burning.

Place your wick carefully in the mold you chose and coat the inside of the mold with a non-stick spray covering to facilitate an easier removal of the finished candle. Then pour your melted wax into your mold. You can leave it to sit until the candle has solidified or you can speed the process up by placing the mold in your freezer for 30 minutes or so. When the candle has hardened completely, remove it from the mold.

There’s literally no limit to the various kinds of candles avaiable for creation in your home. With all the variations of colors, fragrances, and decorations the sky is the limit. Some candle makers have even created original latex molds to create truly spectacular looking candles.

Latex molds are very flimsy, however. It’s quite difficult to fill a latex mold if you do not have something to stabalize the mold. Luckily, all you need is a simple sturdy piece of cardboard to support a latex mold. Just cut a hole large enough for the mold  into the cardboard and then place the mold up to it’s outward lip in the hole. You can now fill the mold with no problems.

Perfecting candle making techniques usually takes a couple of attempts, but once you’ve got it down, you’ll be amazed by the gorgeous candles you’ve made and can now give away as gifts or sell with a little bit of decorative packaging
