Tibetan Prayer Flags at Home

How Just 10 Prayer Flags Will Give Miraculous Blessings

Mount Everest is often called the roof of the world. It is the world's highest mountain peak located in the Himalayas. It borders the countries Nepal and Tibet.

At the base camps for the Mount Everest climbing teams, these prayer flags are often flown to offer blessings for a safe trip to those on the ascent to the top of the mountain.

And generally, the Tibetan and Nepali Buddhists fly these prayer flags from their homes, in villages and from the monasteries to offer blessings to the whole world, from the highest height of the world. :)

The flags are most often made in monasteries or nunneries from a natural material such as cotton, and then woven with a low thread count and finished without a hem.

It is said that the unraveled threads from the flags are carried by the wind and around the globe; where they touch the ground to dissolve back into the earth, the ground is blessed. It could also be said that the space the threads travel through may also be blessed.

Each of the five flag colors represents an element. A flag "set" is most often 10 flags. On each flag a deity is pictured and a corresponding mantra prayer printed on it. Some flags sets have a variety of deities and mantras printed on them while others are of one deity and mantra only.

When the flags are worn down enough, then they are ceremoniously burned and new flags are raised.

In October I replaced my flags but also put up a rod on the patio to hang them more properly. My previous set was tied in such a way that was too awkward for my liking. I feel a lot better about the updated setup.

In my travels to replace my previous set of flags I saw a whole lot of different types out there besides the deity/mantra design. The flags can be made of scrap material from something like quilting. I saw some beautiful strings of DIY flags from all sorts of plaid and gingham motifs, as well as there are just solid flags, and also plain, blank flags.

I thought the non-traditional ones were especially beautiful because they were scrap material that represented the personal taste of the person who hung them up. (I chose mine to come from a Fair Trade Monastery in Nepal which produced the more traditional motifs which resonate with me the most.)

I have seen my flags on their new setup waving gently outdoors and then on other days the wind is aggressive and seems to move them quite intensely. It kind of puts things in perspective to experience how "life" and "time" treats the proverbial thoughts and feelings and wants and hopes that I treasure.

Some days my prayers are kissed by the sun and caressed by the current. On some days the gusts are playful and flirtatious and the flags have a lively dance. And then on other days it looks like the flags cannot withstand the beating they are taking out there. The wind can be so raging, I have wondered if the flags would become tangled and violently destroyed.

...short moment of terror to think that the world out there could so brutally wreck or mutilate my efforts towards fostering happiness and well-being. ...Sabotaging the things that I pray for.

The flags have been an interesting exercise for me on perspective, purpose, perseverance and forgiveness... to say the least.

But regardless of how the world treats them, they have one job to do:

Give blessings.

Rain or shine and through merciless conditions...give blessings...

Love & Relationships Oracle Forecast August 2011

Balancing the Polarities of August Relationship Energy

Mercury goes into retrograde August 3rd which can kick this month’s relationship energies into emotionally high gears right out of the gate. This energy coupled with a full moon on the approach on the thirteenth of this month, brings the potential for tidal waves of emotional flare-ups and frustration to get out of hand quickly. In the short-term it just may have everyone running for higher ground! Alas, being aware can make all of the difference.

Instead of running for the hills and avoiding potential explosions and disagreements, the lesson of this month’s oracle forecast speaks just the opposite, and that is; to practice patience, learn balance and find common ground.

This coming month shows two extremes of patience and impatience, balance and chaos. In romantic relationships, this polarity holds potential to cause relationship associations to turn into “good-guy / bad-guy” where each person thinks the other person is a perpetrator, and each person also sees themself as being the victim of the other person’s attitude.

It is important this August to keep awareness on what helps the good as a whole, and not just good for one’s own self. When a couple is each working from this very important place of giving attention and acknowledgement to the other person and is also about being all about the other person, a much more gentle balance with communication can be achieved.

As the cosmic torch is passed to Leo later this month, we are reminded of what we need to be more loyal to and to sit consciously with our courage and strength to get through difficult times. Our time and personally committing words come to light:  “Do I say what I mean, and do I mean what I say? Am I keeping my promises no matter how big or small? Where am I giving off mixed messages and not being clear?” This phase does not mean to be demanding about what you want or need. It means it is time to not be tip-toe-ing around certain things to get results without wasting any further time.

Other more subtle energies of this month include being more confident about decision-making. Do not just stick a toe in the water when it comes to setting appointments or scheduling dates and meetings. Assertion to commit and jump in with both feet to be productive and cause forward-positive movement are energies eagerly awaiting to be grounded into reality, They will not appreciate being left to be hanging up in the air.

With the Mercury retrograde beginning this month the goal is to avoid silly disasters. Tempers do not need to go as far as they may. Patience will indeed be a virtue. The month may have potential for drama but if you are armed with patience, understanding and a willingness to let things be, your relationship will have a smooth ride through August.

Blessings of calm and gentle flow,

Violet

Blessings to Heal You - Grief, Loss, Bereavement, Lost Love

I set up a reiki altar for love and forgiveness earlier last week and took photos of the rainbows and purple aura flares coming from the plain wax candles. This is for everyone everywhere who wishes to amplify the love in their life, or fill the space of love lost to move on.

I send blessings of love to those who feel alone and blessings of comfort to those who feel deep sadness. I am wishing you peace and healing.

If your heart feels wounded, torn or empty, I ask that the space be filled with the light of the Divine to help you to heal and give you strength so that you may feel whole again.

I ask that the burden of your sorrows be lifted and cleansed away so that you may feel the warm light of love, support and comfort sitting on your skin.

I beg to summon Mercy to arrive for those who feel tortured and ask that this will ease the mind of any anguish, stress and confusion.

For those who feel lost I shine light on you to brightly illuminate the way to sanctuary, and a sacred space to welcome you.

There is no punishment to face here. For your journey, it is time to grow and time to focus on healing.

I  share from my heart to yours; encouragement to heal and move forward. I invoke sending massive healing heart energy to those despairing and in need of a friend to talk to.

May you know you have freedom. May you feel peace. May you have comfort and rest well.

Know that you are loved and thought of by someone who heals and someone who cares for the well-being of another human being.

Be relieved of worry and receive tranquility.

Violet

Love & Relationships Oracle Forecast July 2011

July Holds Energies of Needing to Fine Tune Attitudes Towards Relationships

Out with the old, in with the new! Old habits, old thoughts and knowing your role in the partnership is the theme of July’s relationship vibration. Energies circling around who wants to be right and who gets to be the Alpha become especially burning issues.

With the new moon and eclipse going on at the first day of July, emotional energy; especially around ego, are heavily in flux. You both may have ideas about how to go about certain things and each of you wants those things be done your way.

Issues that have been sitting and things which need ironing-out need to be handled. Ignoring what needs attention will leave the relationship stale and may leave you feeling stuck. This can easily have things go south and continue spiraling in that direction if not addressed.

This month of July conveniently, is about course-correction. In June, energies flowed around celebrating and appreciating how far things have come, and now in the seventh month, it is the time for planning, definition and putting new ideas to action to keep moving forward.

It is time for each person to define what specific things give the relationship its greatness and identify where it can use some work. It is time to make agreements about how you can do more of a few things for your partner, and learn what you can stand to do less of.

Brainstorming it all out is exactly the way to get the boat sailing. Hop in and ride the issues out to work on together. One way to assist each other is to list out what needs attention, and then list out what the possible solutions are.

This time of laying some things out on the table is not to position yourself to be the one in control, be right or be demanding, but to grow out of those tendencies and become familiar again with proactively making compromise and actively cooperating.

Stay centered on the solutions. Do not ruminate on the problems. Do not talk about the obstacles and get into details about them. Do not talk about what will not work or was has not worked in the past. The energy to flow with, is to get deep into the details of how to mend, where to compromise, and look at things from a different perspective.

The month of July is filled with potential healing. A lot of work can get done when you have a plan and this is the month to put a plan together. In the moments that don’t seem a plan will work out and emotions get heated, remember to feel the love that is driving that emotional passion. Keep your relationship goals in mind and get active to tackle them, not each other. :)

Blessings of harmony and joy,

Violet

Soulmate Connection & Soulmate Vibration Readings

The Aura of Someone In a Relationship – Details

Aura colors that romantic couples have in common can reveal their shared desires, goals and other experiences they have accomplished together. Observing the tones in a human aura allows an aura reader like myself to be able to project a relationship's future.

I have been blessed with the experience of delivering nearly two-thousand aura and oracle readings to clients with inquiries about soulmate relationships. It is truly divine to view the collision of colors between two people in love.

Here are some observations I have witnessed in aura fields of someone in a relationship:

· During the courting stage, the aura colors between two lovers are naturally different and will show each person has been working on their own personal agendas before coming together.

· Soulmates who are emotionally and spiritually close and who are working together in a healthy way, display not only the same aura colors, but have energy patterns or textures at the end of their aura fields that serve as a protective lining. In some cases, people in love – especially long-time lovers in well-seasoned relationships will have auras so similar they are practically mirror images of each other.

· Synergy is especially visible in couples during special events such as a honeymoon vacation or extended projects such as overhauling a backyard garden and tackling similar home improvements together by hand.

At the end of a psychic aura reading for love and relationships, there are occasions when a client is looking for additional guidance outside of what I see on my own. In those cases, I call upon a tried-and-true oracle deck that speaks loudly and clearly to me about processes, progression and tides of change within the light of a relationship.

The card deck I use for soulmate relationships has read for over a thousand clients who ask for channeled healing and blessings.  Information About This Card Deck: Click Here

Would you like to know how close or how far apart you and your partner’s energies are?

Would you like to know where you can better focus your energy to attract the partnership you have been dreaming of?

If you have not had your personal or relationship aura read for you recently, I would be honored to deliver the translation of your personal light to share it with you.

An aura reading reveals to you where your most magnetic energies are spinning.

Single? I will view your aura’s current vibration to help you find love.

The Art of Navigating to a Beautiful Reality

A CREATIVE SUPERNATURAL RELATIONSHIP THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

How can we get closer to having a more rich experience of happiness and receive good fortune more frequently? Want less obstacles and less frustration to deal with?

If life seems like it is working against you or is out to get you, it is perfectly natural to be frustrated, angry and feel resentful. Our responses to harsh downpours of negativity are not pretty, but will persist as a real part of the human experience.
 

Our minds need to be relieved of anxiety and feelings of oppression. We look to friends for encouragement and partner with them to help guide us through struggles. Through fond and faithful relationships we heal.

 

You can evolve your world into an extraordinary place.  It generates greater prosperity, less frustration and at the same time develops positive personal esteem.

 

An approach to put the wheels in motion and achieve more gratification is to reassess one of our most important relationships.

Rather than think of life’s less-favorable developments as a ball and chain withholding you from making progress; or rather than carry the weight of your struggles solely on your own shoulders, only to end up feeling hopeless, helpless or even hateful; take on a partner. Make the Universe your ally.

The world - the Universe, is not against you. It has nothing to punish you for and is not your enemy. In fact, the Universe; made of pure vitality, is positively your best friend. It has been with you each day of your life; at your side every step of the way as your companion. It will not leave you no matter what you do.

Forging a solid and reciprocating exchange with the powers that be can plausibly be the most important spiritual bond a person will ever make. It is often explained as “being in harmony” or “being in tune.” We probably never stopped to think about this energetic affiliation as symbiosis, but it best describes this profoundly essential relationship.
  

Decide to approach life by becoming more intimate with this extraordinary vital force of energy and the rewards are glorious. When all available energies are aligned, the inherent goodness in everything is perfectly illuminated.

 

Travelling through life is smooth and more joyful. Manifestations arrive unexpectedly faster and better than our expectations had us believe.

 

To help enhance this relationship, the process surprisingly only requires being considerate to start.

 

We give consideration to friends, family and co-workers. Give consideration to the world you are about to adventure in to.

 

 

 

It is a selfless and affectionate first step which creates strong foundations in partnerships of all types. When is the last time you said hello to the day? Gave compliment to the clouds in the sky or the purple color in the sunset?

As we are gentle with our friends and family whom we cherish, be gentle to your own self. Communicate words that are kind and come from the best in you. Speak to yourself and speak about yourself in a manner which brings honor to who you are; just as you would do to honor a person that you love.

When you speak of life or the world, make no room to be verbally abusive. Innocence and Well-being become caught in the crossfire of the curses and damnations. Nurture your space as you would nurture your friendships - with healthy, honest communication, love, respect, support, and gratitude. All of a sudden, your old friend – your Universe - will begin to shower you with the most amazing gifts.

Consideration and being considerate is one small to-do that will produce fantastic payoffs holistically, when invoked. You are a co-creator on a journey to channel abundance and manifest it here. It is an art that takes practice and commitment to do well. The human experience is meant to be joyful and exhilarating. By creating an alliance with the supreme creative force and flowing with it, you will encounter a blissful and prosperous reality.

Namaste,

<3
Violet
