We begin by considering what an earth angel is, the common characteristics they share that set them apart from other humans, and what it means to be born within the 7th and 9th dimensions.

As you begin to understand what an earth angel is, you may consider whether you may be one. We look at traits earth angels often demonstrate in childhood and adulthood, and the course includes a questionnaire – the answers to which may indicate whether you may be an earth angel.

We’ll look at the symptoms of an earth angel awakening, new age thinking about the angelic realm, the various spiritual families, including the similarities and differences between earth angels and lightworkers, and earth angels and starseeds. The course also covers the types of beings connected with earth angels, including walk-ins, incarnated elementals, incarnated angels, wise ones and star persons.

The path an earth angel walks is not an easy one. We’ll discuss the difficulties and hardships of being an earth angel, the societal pressure placed on an earth angel’s wellbeing and how they draw all kinds of people towards them. We’ll learn energetic and spiritual protection methods and physical and spiritual self-care techniques.

We’ll consider how to discover and follow our life’s purpose, how to find work that fulfils us as individuals and the different career paths that earth angels will best resonate with. We will also consider how to stay grounded in times of psychic stress, how to increase your psychic abilities and the various kinds of psychic abilities that exist.

The course concludes with a look at famous earth angels, how to create a sacred space and earth angels in old age.

The content of this course is divided into two sections. This is to enable you to begin reading the cards immediately. While you are working through the first section, do the exercises that appear by referring to the second section for brief interpretations of each card when you need to.

Once you have completed the first section, study the detailed interpretations of each card.

There are tests throughout the course to test your knowledge and understanding of the cards and assessment questions at the end of each course chapter which should be completed and submitted for marking.

The best way to learn tarot is to practice giving as many readings as you can to as many people as possible. You might want to do readings only for yourself initially. When you feel confident enough, find a friend who is willing to let you practice on them. Don’t worry if you need to look up the meanings of the cards for some time to come. With experience, you will find that you begin to remember their meanings. However, the real skill is in how you put the information together and describe it to the person you are reading for. The more you practice, the better you will become at this.

The term feng shui is composed of two Chinese words: feng (wind) and shui (water). Wind and water are the two natural elements that flow, move, and circulate everywhere. They are also the most basic elements required for human survival. Their combination determines the climate, which in turn determines our food supply and affects our lifestyle, health, energy, and mood.

By using feng shui techniques, you can influence the energies around you to achieve life improvements. This helps you to achieve harmony with your surroundings.

Your personal energy flow affects how you think and act, how well you perform, and your level of success. It is based on the assumption that your surroundings affect your physical and mental health, your relationships, and your success. Originating from China, feng shui is thousands of years old.

The principle behind feng shui is that all objects (living and inanimate) contain qi (or chi). Qi is a form of energy that is the constantly moving and changing. The goal of feng shui is to keep qi flowing gently through your environment rather than running straight through it. If it becomes stuck or blocked, qi can have a negative effect on your environment.

A variety of tools can be used in feng shui including:

• Colour
• Sound
• Lighting
• Displaying art
• Plants and flowers
• Water features
• Wind sensitive objects such as wind chimes
• Mirrors and crystals

To truly understand Ayurveda, the course goes into the origins and history of the practice, along with introducing the sacred language of India, Sanskrit, and discussing the ‘backbone’ of Ayurveda, Samkhya.

The course also shows how the practice compares with Western medicine, to explain differences in approach and ethos. You will also discover the fundamental principles of Ayurveda and how these are used to translate the human condition, especially when it becomes imbalanced.

To appreciate the power of Ayurveda, it is vital to understand the way in which the practice perceives body energy, and the considerations it makes that nutrients and mental stimulations translate into your body’s cellular makeup. You will learn about the Ayurveda Energy Systems, the 3 Vital Forces and the Nadis (Energy Channels), along with the 7 Dhatus, the Chakras, and the Pancha Koshas (invisible coverings). You will also discover the important topic of Ayurvedic Constitution Types (Doshas), which categorises each of us into one of 3 mind-body profiles – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. You will learn what this means and even discover the Dosha that most accurately represents you.

Ayurveda defines health as being ‘harmony’ and describes Agni as the key to good health. As well as explaining this, the course also outlines the 6 states of disease, as defined in Ayurvedic terms, and which diseases each Dosha is most prone to. You will also learn about the role of Ama in ill-health, the power of Inner Wisdom, and the importance of lifestyle to health.

From the Ayurveda Diploma Course, you will learn the specific ways in which the practice diagnoses and treats disease. Various methods of diagnosis are discussed, as are the Radial Pulse, The Meridians, and the 5 Basic Elements. The course explains Ayurveda’s use of ‘Pancha Karma’ in the treatment of disease – a fivefold detoxification treatment involving massage, herbal therapy, and other procedures. Additionally, you will learn of the role of ‘Palliation’ in neutralising remaining toxins and regaining health balance.

Ayurveda is a holistic practice, so is governed by the prevailing belief that the body is capable of healing itself. An important part of this concept is the purposeful consumption of nutrients and so, you will learn how the Ayurvedic diet is followed for optimal health. The course includes Food Guidelines for individual Doshas, and explains how flavours and emotions are linked, what constitutes poor food combinations, how to enhance digestion and the importance of fasting, along with explaining the Ayurvedic view on vitamin supplementation.

Another interesting way in which Ayurveda considers food is in the link between food and our senses – all of them. The course describes Rasa as a more sophisticated approach to the 6 ‘flavours’ and how each ‘flavour’ links to health. Also explained are the 6 stages of digestion, the food journey, tastes and their actions, and also what is meant by ‘The Inconceivable Effect’.

In addition to providing a comprehensive understanding of the theories and practices involved in Ayurveda, the course also provides a practical framework of daily routines and rituals, and principles and mind-sets, which you can use each day to aid you in increasing your wellness through Ayurveda.

Definition of MEDITATE

1. to engage in contemplation or reflection
2. to engage in mental exercise (as concentration on one’s breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness
   I mentioned earlier that I was going to re-define meditation; it is not so much redefining as it is clarifying Webster’s definitions. There seems to be a general misnomer that to meditate has, up until now, always been reserved for the “Spiritually Enlightened”; there has always been the ideology that it requires a specific way that it should be done; like having to sit in a specific posture, breathe a certain way, hold your fingers and thumb in a circle, etc.
   I say up until now because it is time to change that belief system for it is by the second definition that most people seem to get stuck as far as whether they are doing it right. “…for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness.” What is that? It is different for different people and almost impossible to describe to fit everyone; therefore, how does one know if they are doing it right? Guess what? It truly does not matter. We get so hung up on labels and what other people think that we often cheat ourselves out of the best parts of life. Stop doing that. I do my best to operate from the premise that “what other people think of me is none of my business.” And I must say it provides me with a modicum of freedom that wasn’t there when I was making sure that everyone liked me. DOH!
   However, if you go with the first definition, you very quickly realize that you have been in a state of meditation a large portion of your life already, in other words, contemplation, or thinking, and reflection – is that not remembering? Let’s go ahead and throw pondering in there as well since it fits so well. Speaking of pondering, interestingly enough, if you go to the other most common dictionary, Wikipedia, under meditation and to the Etymology and History, you will find that meditate comes from the Latin (imagine that – doesn’t just about every word?) root meditatum, i.e. to ponder. My apologies, I am not going any further with definitions – you have the links, have at ’em.
   Okay, enough already, get to the point. Have you ever been “lost in thought”, that place where time just seemed to disappear, or more aptly, not matter so much? You know, not really thinking about anything in particular. Sometimes it is seen as daydreaming, or spacing out, but no matter what you call it, it is actually a form of meditation. So do your Self a favor, take the mysticism out of meditation and allow your Self the freedom to meditate whenever you see fit. The more you do it, the easier it gets and the bigger the benefits.
   Now then, you’ve given yourself permission to meditate whenever you want, right? Right! Good, because now I want to add one more thing.
   I want to put it out there that meditation is also a communication tool. Once you understand that we cannot communicate with our Higher Self, or Super Conscious Mind except through our Unconscious or Subconscious Mind, then you realize how powerful meditation can be in manifesting whatever you desire and deserve, for it is through meditation that we make that connection within Our Three Minds.
   Therefore, in the light of redefining meditation, I would like to add to the above definition:
3. to communicate with the Unconscious (or Subconscious) Self for the purpose of gaining insight into true purpose

Everyone I have spoken with that meditates on a regular basis talks about how well their life is going for them – no matter what circumstances they find themselves in. And in fact, those who meditate on a regular basis simply do not find themselves in any kind of negative circumstances.

Then there are those I speak with that meditate for awhile, then drift away from it and always say, “I need to get back to it.” And my answer for them is “When would NOW be a good time to get back to it?” Not so remarkable when I ask them how their lives were going when they were practicing meditation on a regular basis, they all always say their lives were better. Less stress – actually, no stress; less, or no drama; everything just seemed to flow better. Kind of like pulling the oars in and letting themselves just be “in the flow.”

Finally, there are those who are going to, “get around to it one of these days, I know I should do it, but I just can’t seem to find the time.” Again I say, “When would NOW be a good time to set a time, c’mon just set a time for tomorrow when you can take 10 minutes for your Self.” Sometimes they do, more often than not, they will “think about it.” Oh yeah, and those of you who say, “I just don’t know if I am doing it right. How do you know if you are doing it right?” My answer to that is, “There is no wrong way to meditate, you cannot not do it right!”

I recently spoke with a new friend on Facebook and we got around to talking about meditation, (imagine that) and she mentioned how she should get back to it – she used to sit and gaze out the window at the fabulous view she has and write in her journal. She never considered that as meditation; however, I implore you to check out my What is meditation? article to see how I am re-defining meditation. Once she realized that she was in that place of “bliss”, in the moment, everything was just fine, in fact nothing really mattered much but that moment she understood that it was indeed meditative. Do you, like me, ever have those moments – some call it daydreaming, or spacing out? I suggest you look at them as a form of meditation. Anyway, she came to realize that was indeed a meditative state and she is going to get back to it because it is so enjoyable. She also remembered her days seemed somehow a little less hectic when she did that in the mornings.

Therefore, based upon the above story, I suspect if you are reading this, you likely are in a meditative state much more often than you realize, you just haven’t put the label on it, yet.

In any case, I will likely add more here at a later date. In the meantime, if you have any thoughts about meditation, please send me a comment, let me know where you are with meditation – are you practicing on a regular basis, are you wanting to get started, but are not sure how, etc.

In the meantime, please read the rest of this series as well as my article Our Three Minds. I believe you will find it very helpful to explain why meditation works as well as it does and why meditation is so powerful.

“You see” said the old man, “this inner struggle is like two wolves fighting each other. One is evil, full of anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, deceit, false pride, superiority, and ego”.

“The other one,” he continued, poking the fire with a stick so that the fire crackled, sending the flames clawing at the night sky, “is good, full of joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith”.

For a few minutes his grandson pondered his grandfather’s words and then asked, “So which wolf wins, grandfather?”

“Well”, said the wise old chief, his lined face breaking into a wry smile, “The one you feed!”
This inner struggle happens in our Unconscious mind and both wolves are constantly waiting to be fed. So, please be more aware of which one you are feeding. Thank you.
Everyone I know that meditates at all does so with a positive mindset. Part of the purpose of meditation is to dispel any negativity and to help practice feeding our Unconscious Mind with only positive, self-reinforcing thoughts. Our thoughts are the food of our successes, or failures. What are you feeding your Self?

Where in your body does meditation work? All of it. You can use meditation to lower your blood pressure in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, so it works with your heart. Usually, when you meditate, you are doing some kind of breathing technique so it is working with the lungs. Slowing the heart-rate, bringing in more oxygen, relaxing the entire body as well as releasing any toxins that are in the muscles – so all in all meditation works with the entire body to bring it into balance, harmony, alignment.

One of the main focuses of meditation is upon the third eye. (The Third Eye is located just above your nose between your eyes.) When we use our imagination to visualize whatever it is we want to focus on, the third eye becomes active – the third eye is akin to a movie projector projecting images on the screen of your mind, your Unconscious Mind. The Conscious Mind cannot remember; however, the Unconscious Mind remembers everything.
