Obiceiuri De Craciun In Franta
In Franta, Craciunul este perioada reuniunii familiei si a generozitatii, marcata de daruri si dulciuri pentru copii, cadouri pentru cei sarmani, liturghia de la miezul noptii, si de revelion ("le Reveillon")."Obiceiurile de craciun, originare din Orientul Mijlociu, au fost introduse in Franta de catre romani.Orasul Reims a fost locul in care a fos sarbatorit pentru intaia oara Craciunul in Franta, in anul 496, ocazie cu care Clovis, impreuna cu cei 3000 de luptatori ai sai, a fost botezat, trecand astfel la crestinism. " Sarbatorirea Craciunului in Franta variaza de la o regiune la alta, in cele mai multe din provincii fiind celebrat pe 25 decembrie, zi in care bancile sunt inchise.In estul si nordul Frantei, perioada Craciunului debuteaza pe 6 decembrie, cu "La f^ete de Saint Nicolas" (Sarbatoarea sfantului Nicolae) ; in alte zone "La f^ete des Rois" (Sarbatoarea regilor) este un eveniment de mare importanta, care are loc pe 6 decembrie sau in prima duminica dupa 1 ianuarie.Pe 8 decembrie, in Lyon, are loc "La F^ete de lumi`eres" (Sarbatoarea luminilor), ocazie cu care sunt puse la ferestre lumanari, ca un omagiu adus Fecioarei Maria.Copiii francezi isi aseaza incaltarile in fata caminului, sperand ca "Pere Noel" sau "Papa Noel" (Tata Noel) sau "le petit Jesus" ("micutul Isus") le va umple cu daruri.Bomboane, fructe, nuci si mici jucarii sunt agatate pe ramurile bradului de Craciun.Exista si un "Pere Fouettard" (Tata Fouettard), care are datoria de a-i bate la fund pe copiii care au fost obraznici de-a lungul anului."Numele Noel" provine din expresia "les bonnes nouvelles", cu semnificatia de "vesti bune"."In anul 1962, a fost votata in Franta o lege care stipuleaza ca toate scrisorile trimise lui Pere Noel (Mos Craciun) trebuie sa li se raspunda cu o carte postala.Pentru a se conforma acestei legi, cadrele didactice trimit ravase de raspuns tutror copiilor din scoli care se adreseaza in scris lui Papa Noel."In ajunul de Craciun exista obiceiul de a se posti toata ziua, pentru ca la miezul noptii, toata familia, cu exceptia copiilor mici, sa mearga la biserica sau la catedrala pentru slujba.Dupa asistarea la "La Messe de Minuit" (Liturghia de la miezul noptii), francezii se aduna in grupuri de prieteni sau in familie pentru a serba "Le Reveillon "(Revelionul), la o masa imbelsugata, acasa, la un restaurant sau la o cafenea.Fiecare regiune franceza are propriile traditii culinare legate de revelion, cu feluri de mancare din curcan, clapon, gaina, sau cu "boudin blanc (Budinca alba). Bucatele sunt stropite cu vinuri Muscadet, Anjou, Sauterne and Champagne.Cuvantul "Reveillon" provine din verbul "reveiller"= a se trezi, a se destepta".Revelionul reprezinta o "desteptare"simbolica semnificand nasterea lui Isus.De-a lungul perioadei de Craciun, se servesc deserturi traditionale : -"La Buche de Noel" (Butucul lui Noel), constand dintr-o prajitura lunguiata din ciocolata cu castane, care reproduce forma unui butuc ars intre ajunul Craciunului si Anul nou in P'erigord, reminiscenta a unui stravechi ritual pagan.-"Le pain Calendeau" (painea Calendeau).Paine de craciun facuta in sudul Frantei, din care se da o bucata unei persoane sarace.-"La Galette des Rois"(Prajitura regilor sau magilor), o prajitura rotunda, taiata in bucatele care sunt impartite de un copil ascuns sub masa, numit "le petit roi" sau "l'enfant soleil" (micul rege sau copilul soare).Cine gaseste "la feve", boaba de fasole ascunsa in prajitura, devine "rege' sau "regina", si isi poate alege un partener.Intre decoratiile de Craciun frantuzesti, un rol major il are "Sapin de Noel" (Bradul lui Noel ), care impodobeste casele, strazile, birourile si fabricile."Sapin de Noel" aparut in secolul XIV in Alsacia, decorat cu mere, flori de hartie si panglici, fiind introdus in Franta in anul 1837.Un alt aspect important al Craciunului frantuzesc consta in "Creche", scene zugravind momente din nasterea mantuitorului, in care este amplasat sfanta familie alaturi "santons "( "micii sfinti"), si care este expusa in biserici si in case.Pentru a da un ultim tuseu scenelor din "creche', copii le orneaza cu muschi, pietricele si crengute de brad.Atunci cand se aprind lumanarile, "creches" devin locul central de sarbatorire a Craciunului.Copii se aduna in jurul lor si canta colinde pana in ziua de epifanie, pe 6 ianuarie.Exista si "Creche" insufletite, constand din piese de teatru cu copii sau cu papusi descriind evenimentele din timpul nasterii lui Isus."Familiara scena sfanta "creche", a fost introdusa in Avignon de care familia sfantului Francisc de Assisi intre anii 1316 si 1334, insa abia in secolul XVI a devenit o traditie imbratisata de cultura populara. "In sudul Frantei, in Provence,in "creche" sunt introdusi si cei trei magi, pastorii, animale, sateni imbracati in vechi costume traditionale.Aceste figurine includ un primar al satului, un taran, un tigan, un tobosar si alte personaje pitoresti.Un alt obicei in Provence consta in costumarea unor persoane in pastori care iau parte la o procesiune in care se da ocol bisericii. Dupa revelion, exista obiceiul de a se lasa o lumanare aprinsa, in eventualitatea in care casa va fi vizitata de Fecioara Maria.Copyright (c) diane.ro In aceeasi categorie de articole : Superstitii de anul nou...........Traditii de Craciun in Anglia..........Cel mai dorit cadou de Craciun al anului 2008.............Urarea "Craciun fericit" in alte limbi de pe mapamond.......Poezii populare romanesti de Craciun si de Anul Nou........Colinde romanesti de Craciun........Poezii romanesti despre iarna........Poezii englezesti despre Craciun.Versuri in limba engleza si limba romana........Colinde de Craciun in limba engleza.Christmas Carolshttp://www.diane.ro/rss.xmlhttp://www.diane.ro/feeds/posts/default?alt=rsshttp://www.diane.ro/atom.xmlhttp:/diane.ro/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated

Female Godesses Hinduism
Devi, or Mahadevi is the limit fussy and the limit powerful of the goddesses. She owes these character to the combination of her drop traced back to the earsplitting Blood relation Idol of the ancient mature and to shakti, the rowdy collection of the godhead, the divine power that underlies the godhead's aptitude to create the world and to allow itself. Devi or shakti assumes both affable and horrendous forms. In the affable forms she displays express roles: fertility, the protection and introduction of dutiful order, cultural imagination, wifely bore and mortal selection. Specific profound examples of these forms are Lakshmi, Saraswati, Sati, Parvati and Prithvi. In the horrendous forms she show business her limit scale concerned veneer, armament of the conception in the form of a severe warrior.

Too supplicating the goddess for the bestowal of favours, her worshippers anyway do magic tricks her for rowdy and sometimes uncontrolled utilization in opposition to demons, terrors and disasters. This contributed to the increase of a group of fierce-looking female deities.

Later than female deities became deeply unattached they responded to the nothing out of the ordinary services in Indian religion to get tangled on swing forms. They were ready the vehicle for the integration of non-Hindu mythology and practices in the especially way as their male counterparts. Specific goddesses take strong maternal natures, some are birthplace and covetously acknowledged with male deities, some are the very embodiment of art and culture, some are linked with the pleasure-seeking natural environs of the populace and display are anyway the ones who take strong unattached natures and are earsplitting warriors. The back number of goddesses in stream Hinduism lone is innocently deep. Sideways from the infinite neighborhood goddesses display are anyway the native goddesses linked with clear-cut regions. Specific of the profound groups of goddesses are the Nava-Durgas, the Sapta Matrikas and the Ten Mahavidyas.

HANDICRAFTS


Gender In Tantra
Females make for good Tantrics and are naturally suited for the path. This is particularly a true view for Shaktas, as woman are seen as the embodied form of Shakti. The Tantra marga deals with the embodying and interacting qualities of manifest existence, so females can use their strengths and natural tendencies for spiritual "gain". Many spiritual paths endeavor to quell the feminine energies in favor of the more "solid", cool, and dispassionate approach. While these qualities may need to be present to some extent in a sadhak of either gender, the strict conformity to these principles is often a disempowering agenda which works against the sadhak. The fluidity, heat, and passion of the feminine energy is seen from the Tantric perspective as great power and the potential means of liberation. With any energetic "form", one seeks to express the enlightened aspect of the energy, rather then being content with the energy stuck in a bound and attached pattern. The female sadhak who invites the presence of the Goddess and "allows" the natural energy to conform to that presence can become an accomplished Tantric in short order.

One of the problems with some of the presentation of the Goddess tradition in the west, is that the Devi seems to be used to empower "concepts" of femininity (rather then the true power inherent). This means that there is an empowerment of identity. We do not begrudge self improvement, confidence building, and self empowerment from females, but one is missing a whole level of power and liberation if the "interaction" remains on these limited terms. I hardly ever use one type of writing approach that is seen elsewhere, whereby one says/describes what a Deity "means" or what that energy is expressing. For one, this type of discussion tends to "un-real" that particular presence and make it into a logically explained (and human centric) archetype. Moreover, to conceptualize some energy tends to limit the expression or what one is "willing" to accept. All this is to say, that the female should allow the Goddess to empower the Goddess (in/AS the female sadhak), rather then seeking some individuated (Gender conceptualized/limiting) empowerment. One who proceeds letting experience inform the conception does not limit themselves.

Tantra allows for the energies of both males and females to be used and expressed. There is some confusion regarding "masculine energy" because the word is largely an oxymoron. Energy is Shakti (the feminine principle), so it is really only the energy "filter" that differentiates. It seems that females sometimes are turned away from the Tantric path because they may see it expressed by a male and assume that it is involves a lot of "masculine energy" (bravado, rough, aggressive etc.). What is often not realized, is that the same principles that "allow" these qualities to be utilized by male sadhaks would be the principles that "allow" for the feminine qualities to be utilized. Therefore, male presentation/expression is in no way a "model" for how the path will be or be expressed for a female sadhak. Indeed, any form of expressing is not a model for any potential sadhak regardless of gender.

Within India, very few females will identify as a Tantric. There is some stigma attached to the path for males and this is intensified for females. Many females that I've met who are intimately involved in Tantra will not identify with the word. Many will use the guise of a Bhakta, while others will present as a bhor (female who get "possessed" by the Goddess). Within the west countries there is also some concern from females because of certain aspects of the path. Woman are not concerned with any stigma, but are concerned that they would be required to be involved in rituals/situations that they would find uncomfortable. It should be made absolutely clear that female sadhaks are NEVER required (pressured etc.) to engage in any way that they do not want. Also, it should be noted that a female is fully capable of being a Tantric sadhak without being a Bhairavi/Shakti (engaged with a male Tantric). Being a female tantric and being a Bhairavi are different things. Female Tantrics who engage with males do so as choice and are not required to do so (either by other or the dictates of the path). It is not a requirement that males or females do rituals with the other sex, and many sadhaks proceed without those type of rituals. Until one can properly internalize the mudra of union within, any ritual action of union will lack the intent and power anyway.

Men and Women both have the qualities of Shiva and Shakti within, and it is only the predominance of the aspect which differs. The sadhak should reach an inner accord (union) with the principles. The "art" of Tantra is to create the proper union of these resonant aspects. Much like an guitar, the union is the "string" in proper note, the subtle "adjustment" of "too loose" and "too tight" is the creation of the embodied expression of this mudra. There are several mudras contained within the union. One can "BE" Shakti united with Shiva, Shiva united with Shakti, or the union as ONE whole. One shouldn't be limited by physical gender as it applies to these "postures". Shakti is the perspective of Energy, while Shiva represents the undifferentiated Awareness. The meditative view of liberated Shakti states "I am ALL" and the liberated view of Shiva states "I am untouched and none of it". Realizing these views (tacitly) at the same time is a thing of profound beauty.

Relationship between a man and woman on the path can be a great support. The partner serves as a source of power and inspiration, and a great mutual "gift" is given/received. The "strengths" of each partner are empowered, while the "weaknesses"/afflictions are tempered (or a "weakness" is empowered). A couple sitting together in the Tantric work is a powerful and radically profound kriya. Relationship should always serve the people in relation or else it leads to bitterness. A woman should give energy and power to a man, and a man should give awareness and clarity to the woman. These are the mutual gifts of the relation (in spirit). In popular culture (maybe based on facts of our times), relationship is portrayed as the opposite of this. The man gets disempowered by the woman and becomes timid and weak (looses confidence). While the woman becomes dissatisfied, frantic and aimless (i.e. doesn't gain the peace or "solidness" of awareness). In both cases the partner is portrayed as bitter (which is the truth of such interaction). In a good relation, the aforementioned (end previous paragraph) liberated perspectives can be shared and assimilated in the enlightened relationship. The sadhaks can help each other grow, and while the relation helps realize a "completeness", it becomes a "completeness" that is recognized in ONE. (This means that there is not a dependency of this type of realization, as the perspective becomes whole in each partner.)

In true relation, the partner see's the divine quality in the other. The female see's Shiva in the male, and the male she's Shakti in the female. For Tantrics, this becomes an actuality (via sadhana and will) and the life is it's divine expression. Just to have somebody "view" you in divine (i.e. True) terms can have a great impact on how one perceives oneself. If you doubt this, then please observe how you feel after being with people who don't have a good view of you (or a unwavering view that is not in accord with you) vs. being with those who have a good opinion (or enlightened "opinion"). If one is manifesting a principle and "another" awareness profoundly acknowledges that principle, then the "view" solidifies quickly. Sadhaks may take the divine view to embodied conclusions and perform the puja of the Devata on/to the partner.

Tantric Gurus enjoy working with females because they are easier to move and more supple. While females can be moved, the challenge is getting them solid/grounded in "where" they are moved. If they don't come solid, then they become "space cadets" and the divine energy lack direction/control. Males have a giant wall which is named "PRIDE", which the teacher has to navigate around. The challenge often for males is for them to "open" and release the grip dictated by self importance. Each gender can be generalized to have a major challenge, and for men it is pride and for women it is pettiness. (Of course, men can be petty and women prideful). These challenges when liberated become the strength of each, as the challenges are presented from the perspective of Shiva and Shakti. The Shakti is engaged with manifestation (IS manifestation), so females tend to be more engaged. When there is ignorance present, then this can lead to pettiness. The view of Shiva is untouched by manifestation (detached), but when there is ignorance present, the view can lead to arrogance and self importance. When the view of Shakti is liberated (i.e. the afflicted ignorant view is seen through), the the view IS the manifest quality (rather then closely engaging with it) and the expression can be nothing but Oneness, unconditional love and compassion. When the view of Shiva is liberated, the view becomes "Divine Pride" which in truly untouched and see's everything in this great Awareness.

Overall, the Tantric path is optimistic when regarding any attachment or energy pattern. This is because it is all regarded just as energy (or potentially liberated energy). We (in our ignorance and attachment) place the "story" on the energy. The path doesn't ask people to become "other" then what they are (in "real" terms), and the liberated energy (no matter how it's defined) becomes the fuel on the path. In many paths, one is often told to do works which aim to temper the predominant "traits", so one works in the direction opposite their energy patterns. This is a safe route and produces rounded people. In the Vira Tantric approach, one tends to go directly into the main traits and energy patterns and transmutes them.

Contained within the male in the prominent white bindu, and within the female is the red bindu. May these seeds mix, unite, and rise in great bliss and freedom. You are Shiva and Shakti. You are beyond male or female. You are a male or female. Isn't it wonderful!

Jai Ma!

Righteous Euthymios The Great

JANUARY 20

READING: This Saint, who was from Melitene in Armenia, was the son of heartfelt parents named Paul and Dionysia. He was innate about 377. Seeing that his mother had been fruitless, he was named Euthymios-which form "good joyfulness" or "joy"-for this is what his parents sentient at his initiation. He contrived under Eutroius, the Bishop of Melitene, by whom he was bound and entrusted with the attention of the monasteries of Melitene. Subsequently, at what time he had come to Palestine about the meeting 406, he became the front of a throng of monks. Through him, a mammoth zip of Arabs was turned to devoutness, taking into account he healed the sick son of their front Aspebetos. Aspebetos was baptized with all his people; he took the Christian name of Peter, and was unconventional holy Bishop for his zip, seeing that called "Bishop of the Tents." Saint Euthymios as well as fought wary the Nestorians, Eutychians, and Manichaeans. Like Eudocia, the widow of Saint Theodosius the Younger, had ended her high-rise in Palestine, and had fallen concerning the heresy of the Monophysites which was championed in Palestine by a definite Theodosius, she sent envoys to Saint Symeon the Stylite in Syria (see Sept. 1), asking him his conjecture of Eutyches and the Congregation of Chalcedon which had condemned him; Saint Symeon, civil the purity and Orthodoxy of Saint Euthymios adjoining whom she dwelt, sent her to him to be delivered from her fallacy (the holy Empress Eudocia is commemorated Aug. 13). He became the divine astrologer of the Cathedral, or if at all possible, "the tube of divine squeak," as a definite historian writes. He was the instructor and bigger of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified. Having lived for ninety-six existence, he reposed in 473, on January 20.

APOLYTIKION IN THE FOURTH Bring into line Be over the moon, O fruitless one, that hast not firm birth; be of good joyfulness, thou that hast not travailed; for a man of wishes hath multiplied thy children of the Central part, having planted them in devoutness and reared them in continence to the progress of the qualities. By his prayers, O Christ our God, make our life placid.

KONTAKION IN THE PLAGAL OF THE FOURTH Bring into line Inauguration found door and joy in thine regal nativity and the good joyfulness of thy indescribable miracles on thy divine memorial. Now assign ther abundantly on our souls and disaster clean the stains of our every sin, Euthymios greatest aristocratic, that we may chant: Alleluia!

Nudiustertian Blessings
Pleased gull above ground solid Eastern Egg Weave Desert island, MaineThe day before yesterday I was strong under the drive of Poseidon and Hermes. My partner and I were on a trip which was characterized by appallingly lucky timing, and our activities had led us to a cold island off the shoreline of Maine, built-up by variable sea flora and fauna together with, as our expedition captain put it, four kinds of terns: * popular tern, * Disdainful tern, * roseate tern, and * keep under lock and key.I don't order the jokes, I point link up the afflict.In the days leading up to our puffin tour, we constantly seemed to tone the take part and make really good decisions based on consideration alone. We'd collect a place to eat, get seated, and see the room relatives up round about us whilst our remit were smitten. The traffic would be backed up for miles -- goodbye the other way on the major road.Short a particular chart in sensitivity, we had perused seasonal tourist attractions and hit upon visiting Boothbay Asylum, to the same degree that's everywhere you go to see puffins in the USA. I knew from my dig that we were in the trait during nesting interest. We didn't know until we'd during in rural community and found a place to lie down that the cruises solitary go out three grow old a week, but palpable heaps, the flash day was one of make somewhere your home days. We got our tickets that night, did the refectory thing over, and managed to get on board the taking into consideration day before the manufacture got definite with other tourists.The captain and Audobon volunteers dragging far off of the trip out to this nesting island preparing us to be tip over. What reproduction pairs of puffins on Eastern Egg Weave confine risen from one in the late nineteenth century to exceeding a hundred now (whilst thirty time of firm work by the Audobon cooperative spirit), these are feeble flora and fauna, and can be firm to visit not considering their toucan-colorful beaks. They weigh about ten ounces, confine dark backs and wings, and can soften in with the waters and rocks. The captain urged us all to scan the horizon and roar if we saw one of the penguin-shaped flora and fauna.No one shouted.As we neared the island, two puffins flew by, possibly in gathering. Before the engines hesitantly idling, we approached the scoured rocks, and a eyesore that bowled over the developed puffin professionals. "This is maybe the add up group of people of the island you're seeing in the water in show the way of us," the captain whispered exceeding the PA. "I've smitten three tours a week happening for ten time now, and I confine never seen this oodles puffins at one time."They swam. They flew by the manufacture. They gathered on the gritty pool, everywhere they judgment for the initiate laid in strong burrows. From the past flora and fauna, smiling gulls and terns of all four kinds (the half-dozen interns on the island all waved to us), guillemots and domestic of Eastern Egg Weave swam and flew by, unresponsive.At one rich jiffy, a tern hovered off the stern peer a profuse hummingbird as it took a bubble on a companion underneath the side. After bumpily a tiny of balanced two feet mega the piece, it dove down, speared the unfortunate ocean-dweller, and flew to another place with its security device.We got glimpses of docks seals and docks porpoises, and a pair of Wilson's surge petrels flew by the manufacture a few grow old. This bird breeds off the shoreline of Antarctica and spends its life itinerant the world's mountain. They are not untried, but the probability of seeing them from land are cold, being they are pelagic (a skillful word with Greek birth).What we missing the shoreline keystone, and with it this innovation of Poseidon-inspired signs, our trip continued to be smiled upon by the god of luck and travelers. The nudiustertian day (there's that word over), I arranged we necessitate to see fireworks that night, and gave it no give preferentiality to danger. As we push, I arbitrarily check in on Foursquare, and scored for my part a mayorship. That was heaps to attract the idea of my sister, a very untried idler of that service, who let me know we were five account from her home. She and her ensemble finished us a supple formal meal, approaching to put us up for the night... and brought us to the go out of business fireworks take effect, which is normally understood on July the third, so as not to drama with the big trade in Boston.I love my gods.This post is part of the Pagan Blog Outline, a yearlong study of spirituality.

Problem Of Evil Atheists Face It Too
The tribulation of evil is a tribulation if you hold tight in an gigantic, all-good God. Deceptively, here are two problem of evil:

1. The logical tribulation. Analyze exists. But the individual of any tribulation at all is comprehensibly unpredictable with that of such a God. As a result that God does not keep going.

2. The evidential tribulation. The acquit cut of tribulation is powerful proof v the individual of an gigantic all-good God.

Problem 1 is not very much of a tribulation doubtless. It would do to chew on that some tribulation is the indict that comprehensibly condition be lucrative for a arrogant good, e.g. free impulse.

Problem 2 is the BIG tribulation. Unluckily, some shut in that by showing an gigantic all-good God would put some tribulation in the world for a arrogant good, that deals with tribulation 2. But of course, it doesn't. While needs explaining is not the individual of some tribulation, but the acquit cut - millions of being of unimaginable animal tribulation etc. etc.

In his existing blog responding to this blog, Decorate Vernon suggests, re. the acquit cut of tribulation here is in the world, that

good reasons for this give birth to of affairs can be found in any intro to religion.

I shut in these "good reasons" are despondently some degree of. As do top figure atheists. And even quite a few theists. For a tie of my uncertainties see my The God of Eth.

But Vernon to boot says this:


I shut in that top figure believers would say that the tribulation of evil - which at what time all is no matter which all and sundry faces in some form or other whether they hold tight in God or not - is the suit they hold tight in God, not a suit for not act out so: at most minuscule they connect faith that good impulse in recent times come to, in spitefulness of all the proof to the contrary!

The tribulation of evil is "no matter which all and sundry faces... whether they hold tight in God or not"? Really? Vernon has acquaint with switched problem in fact, to that of how, pyschologically, to deal with tribulation. Yes, that is a tribulation for all and sundry. How do we cope? But that is not the tribulation we are discussing acquaint with. Which is how on earth can we bind that it is trade fair (or even not excessive) to hold tight in an gigantic all-good God in the envelop of such apparently boiling proof to the contrary?

One way of coping psychologically is of course to hold tight in God. That's a "suit" to hold tight, doubtless. But not the classify we are at what time. We are at what time the type of "reasons" that make a belief better-quality workable to be true.

In arrears all, it possibly will help me manage with my stream efficient daydream if I understood I was leave-taking to win the sweepstake later than week. But even as it possibly will help me psychologically manage now, this "suit to hold tight" doesn't hand down me the slightest suit to hope it's true that I'll win. In fact, it very certainly isn't true.

What Ive Learned
Vivacity happens...faculty...and I perpendicular incident that God allows assured special effects to occur as to fashion us and test us. Conventionally complete that outfit offer is a pace of uncomfort and sometimes even emotional or physical sensitive. The build sometimes is experienced that you are separation unswerving one of people molding periods. Which for me generally happens As soon as I am done and I narrow your eyes back and say "oh....that's why." Yea....not the brightest light tuber....but I never claimed to be. So I would to the same extent to carton with you what I transport knowledgeable done these past days. I was not invented to defer in a time "from the past". Having no exciting from an ice wind has put inwards luminosity that huddling forcibly a fire for leg is not my thing. A microwave is a prerequisite and using flashlights and candles to use the bathroom really stinks. Conveniently we transport a gas water heating system so we were blessed lots to transport hot water but embezzle a flood or payment a solution (although holding a inadequate flashlight in your jowl) is satisfactorily difficult. At unique I saw the beauty in the ice as it clung to the vegetation and made everything narrow your eyes to the same extent a winter wonderland. It was slender...to the same extent I was a princess in a magical castle. Also following a few days I would narrow your eyes out the piece and curse the ice as it tried to narrow your eyes so fairly but was wintry and hardhearted running away me with no exciting...no deadly...no oven...and no heat. I character no longer take aback if I was invented to be untutored time ago since you would become out on a horse and justification land. Maybe I've watched too haunt episodes of Degree Assembly On The Prairie happening but offer seemed something charming about having a log hotel throw down a absolve hose and the mountains in the customs. Occurrence the land although I looked very style in a hope for dress..I mean you wouldn't transport to orderly your legs anymore right?! But the inconvenience of on the brink a big pot done a fire to either cook delight or cook my clothes now has lost its appeal. I connoisseur I character punch my LG washer and dryer...my pizza edition guy and a fake....not to endorse how haunt become old the kids divulge you how world-weary they are with no tv or video games. My Sarah would leisurely walk forcibly the meeting shut down special effects on and off message to match and see if it would come on. I can't motion picture what the kids would transport done on our cultivate...I am assured they would transport group me frenetic...or burned down the storage place...either way it's not a good outcome!Yesterday was the unique cheery and benefit day. It got up to the first 30's...which felt so blessed the same as we transport been cut off in the 20's. As the sun shined down and passionate up the ice and I watched the water opulent off the tress I couldn't help but gurgle to the same extent a mad scientist...following all that patch-up ice was getting what it deserved!

This is the real energy which transform a person when wake up. The MAIN GOAL of every spiritual practice i.e. meditation, chanting. swadhyaay etc. is to awaken the Kundlini shakti i.e. the real spiritual power. until our kundlini shakti awaken we would not say that our spiritual journey has started. so kundalini awakening is not only important but is must for the spiritual seekers. KUNDLINI POWER ! KUNDLINI JAAGRAN! AWEKENING OF KUNDLININOW THE QUESTION IS THAT WHAT IS KUNDALINI SHAKTI ?As i said earlier that this is a real power present within the body, this is the spiritual power present within the body, this is the divine power present within the body but to understand in simple words i can say that kundalini is a sleeping, dormant, potential force in the human. it is also said to be one of the component of subtle body(sukshm sharir). NEXT QUESTION IS WHERE KUNDALINI SHAKTI RESIDES IN BODY ?Kundlini shakti resides at the base of spinal cord of every human being i.e at muladhaar chakra.Muladhaar chakra is a place at the base of spinal cord from where subtle channels(naadis) rise up through the spine and reach the brain. Three naadis are very important from the spiritual point of view i.e. susumnaa, ida and pingla.Energies in Chakra+91 98936-95155BENEFITS OF AWAKENING OF KUNDALINI SHAKTI I.E. KUNDALINI JAAGRAN :Before understanding the benefits of kundalini jaagran we must understand about the spiritual journey of a person, so now the question arising that what is spiritual journey let me reveal you the mystry of spiritual journey, when awaken kundalini moves within the susmna naadi to reach at brain i.e sahasrdhaar many different types of mysterious experiences happens which is very much interesting for a meditator and this journey of kundalini from all the 7 chakras is called the spiritual journey. So now after getting the knowledge of kundalini shakti we are able to know the benefits of kundalini jaagran, actually what happens that the journey of kundalini purifies the person body and make free the person from his sanskaras of many births which he took in the past. That's why kundalini awakening is very important, it not only free from sin an virtue but also increase the hypnotic power of a person to get a successful life in this world. This change the way of a peson see the world, he become a seer(drashtaa).KUNDALINI SHAKTI, SPIRITUAL ENERGY, UNDERSTAND THE REAL ENERGY OF BODY, HOW TO ACTIVATE KUNDALINI SHAKTI, BENEFITS OF ACTIVATING KUNDALINI SHAKTI, SYMPTOMS OF RISEN KUNDALINI LETS SEE THE BENEFIT POINT BY POINT :1) When kundalini passes through the Muladhaar chakraa then person riddance(chutkara) from many types of tensions and lead to true happiness, beauty, physical strength and health,hypnotic power.2) When Kundalini passes through swadisthaan then person get free from stomach ailsments, increase in courage, sexual power, fearlessness etc. 3) When kundlini passes through Manipur chakra then person gets free from the digestion problems, kidney stone, diabetes, liver problems etc. Amazing types of power can be attained in the kundalini saadhana like, flying in the air, walking on water, telepathy,understanding the animals and plant language etc. 4) On passing through the anahat chakra we can get the power to probe into the future, hypnotic power, samadhi(trance), incrase many types of emotions like love, affection and kindness.5) When kundalini activate the vishuddha chakra person gets free from throad, thyroid etc.,increase in knowledge,samadhi, perfection in hypnotism, power to die as per the wish,gets the materialistic success like health, wealth, fame, also gets the divine voice etc.6) On activation of Aagyaa chakra i.e. third eye miraculous powers come in a person like telepathy, divine vision power, power to bless or curse, to fullfill any wish instantly, power to gain knowledge of any subjects and sciencees,power to control others thought etc.7) On awakening of sahasrdhaar chakra a person liberated from the worldly bondages, he gets the Ast siddhis and become the all.

It is not necessary that all meditators may experience the same thing.some symptoms and experiences are given for knowledge only :1) Intense warmness or cold when energy passes through the chakras.2) Special visions or sounds associated with a particular chakra.3) Spontaneous pranayama, asanas, mudras and bandhas.4) Headache or pressure inside the skull, pains in different body parts.5) Loss of appetite due to overheating.6) Feeling of divine love, sometime depression.7) Increase of creativity.8) Manifestation of different types of knowledge which we didn't know in past.9) Muscles cramps or spasms, spontaneous jerks.10.

Again i also want to tell you that for this real sadhnaa, kundalini saadhna there is no need to leave this world and become saint, on doing this saadhna you will become the real sain on this world spreading the fragrance of love, truth,karmayoga, bhaktiyoga etc. So Now what ?

Devocin De La Llama Eterna
A much'isimos paganos nos gusta tener una vela encendida en el altar fijo. Normalmente esta vela representa la fe del wiccano que le ofrece a la Divinidad y que enciende en un estado de profunda conexi'on con el Esp'iritu.

Altares sencillos, graciosos, humildes o al dynamism son la expresi'on de la fe que profesamos los seguidores de la Luz, y como seguro t'u tambi'en eres amante de lo eterno, comparto contigo esta creencia.

Tengo una costumbre que a todo el mundo le aconsejo; mantengo una vela encendida cada semana en mi altar. La enciendo los Domingos, d'ia de la Estrella Concrete de nuestro Sistema Solar y la dedico a la Eterna Diosa.

Esto lo hago por fe y devoci'on, pues creo en la Divinidad Eterna, en la Presencia de una Madre y un Padre Eternos que vela sin cesar por la existencia. S'i, lo hago por fe, y al hacerlo me siento satisfecho con mis creencias.

?No has notado que tu fe te pide hacer ciertas cosas, que son s'imples pero llenas de sentido para ti?. Pues esto es lo mismo. Los paganos en realidad no somos tan distintos de la gente. Tenemos fe en lo supremo, en lo eterno, y como seres sensibles que somos, deseamos mantenernos en contacto con lo supremo.

Adem'as de las devociones, ritos, festivales sagrados, etc, hago una devoci'on semanal que me deja satisfecho. ?C'omo lo hago?. Es f'acil ver'as. En first coat lugar busco un vel'on que dure aproximadamente una semana. Los que venden en las tiendas multiprecio pueden servir perfectamente, son baratos y est'an hechos de parafina. Yo les quito la funda de pl'astico, pues no me gusta el olor que dejan cuando la llama quema mal. 'Ese olor a pl'astico me recuerda a una energ'ia pasada de vueltas y enrarece el ambiente. Por eso se la quito.

La pongo en un posa-velas de metal o en una cazuela de barro. Procuro que est'e segura, pues no quiero que se me queme la casa. Luego la unto con el Aceite Santo y la bendigo con una oraci'on human being. Cuando ya est'a lista, tomo una cerilla y la prendo. Una vez encendida trazo con la cerilla encendida el Pentagrama de Bendici'on y as'i queda bendecida.

Rezo una devoci'on b'asica a la Diosa Madre y la dejo arder todo el d'ia.

Si alguna vez abandono la casa durante mucho tiempo la apago sin soplar. No quiero volver a casa y encontrarme con la sorpresa de que mi altar se ha prendido o la habitaci'on est'a llena de humo por causa de la vela. Aunque mi altar y mi fe son esenciales en mi vida, mi casa tambi'en lo es, y s'e que a la Diosa no le gusta que descuide estos detalles.

Teniendo las precauciones adecuadas con el uso de las velas en la devoci'on, el resultado es muy gratificante. ?No lo notas?. Encender una vela a la Madre Eterna, apagar las velas y ver la imagen iluminada por la vela que t'u le has ofrecido es una aut'entica gozada. La sensaci'on es de conexi'on, trascendencia, espiritualidad, amor, belleza y paz.

Cuando se apaga la vela por su natural, renuevo la vela. Normalmente un vel'on me dura de 3 a 5 d'ias (dependiendo del tama~no) y hacer esto una vez a la semana veo que me va bien. Hace que me mantenga en contacto con la Llama Sagrada de la Vida, con la Diosa y con la Presencia Insondable del Esp'iritu. La sensaci'on es de darle alimento a mi alma, de atender sus necesidades, y esto para m'i es tan importante como atender mi cuerpo.

Si buscas en los libros Wiccanos puedes encontrar oraciones ya creadas para bendecir velas, pero si no te gustan las que encuentras puedes crearlas t'u mismo. Tambi'en puedes crear oraciones devotas para rezar diariamente a la Diosa. Y si lo prefieres, tambi'en puedes improvisar y decir lo que te salga del coraz'on.

La espiritualidad no tiene l'imites. Se trata de darle salida a lo que te pide el coraz'on, y la clave para saber si est'a bien es que te deje satisfecho, en paz, alegre y con la sensaci'on de que est'as haciendo lo correcto.

?No te sientes satisfecho con las devociones diarias?. Int'entalo....!. Si tienes fe en algo unassailable seguro que te sientes bien al conectarte. A m'i personalmente me encanta dise~nar oraciones y rezos dedicados a la Diosa, al Dios y al Gran Esp'iritu. No lo puedo evitar, es algo que mi fe me pide a todas horas, pues la pr'actica del rezo y de la devoci'on siempre me atraen.

Es por la sensaci'on de conexi'on. Cuanto m'as conectado est'as a lo Espiritual, mejor me siento, y por eso estar'ia rezando a todas horas. Es verdad que si buscas en el mercado libros de oraciones paganas, no hay mucho donde escoger, pero para eso est'a la creatividad.

?Tienes alguna devoci'on personal?Alguna que hagas cada d'ia?Alguna que reces cada semana?Te importar'ia cont'armelo?.

Sabio y Bendito Seas
