Meditation - Away from the vagaries of life

According to Maria Duval, to achieve the required physical and psychic effects, your meditation session should last for at least 10 to 15 minutes, at the minimum, 5 minutes.

This is the amount of time you should set aside each day, to meditate, if you are not very used to staying still. But you will soon develop at taste for it, when you start enjoying the amazing benefits that these fews minutes can bring. You can then extend the session up to 25 or 30 minutes per day.

Find a really quiet place with least chances of being disturbed. Settle yourself in a comfortable chair or on a mat.

Sitting position is the best, because the aim of the exercise is not to become so relaxed as to go to sleep, but rather to achieve a state conducive to inspiration, illumination and intuition. It is important that you keep your back straight, but not too taut. Your feet ought to be steady on the ground. The best is that you can play some soothing and complementing meditation guide in the background.

There is no fixed definite time for meditation. Any time is a good time when you are used to it. With practice, you can bring yourself into a meditative state in a flash of your eye, at any time.

At this level, nothing 'outside' can have any effect on your anymore, because you have learned to 'escape' from vagaries of life, just through the simple power of your mind!

Maria Duval on Meditation

By controlling and observing your breathing, you will soon achieve a good state of physical relaxation. But your head will, in all likelihood, still be bothered by a mental discourse with an intermingling of words, thoughts and images, all snatching for the owner's keen focus.

Forbid your attention to be drawn to any of these words, thoughts or images by trying to 'clear' your mind. Maria Duval's suggestion to help you achieve this state of mind is that you focus your mind on one specific thing, a thing that is preferably pleasant of course, while disappearing everything else around this thing.

Meditation relaxes the body and the mind, relieving the stress or tension, soothing your nerves and permitting you to overcome your bad negative emotional attachments like fear, sadness, hatred, bitterness or anger.

Maria Duval says that by keeping your mind on something nice and calming, you will be freed immediately of any feelings of guilt, insecurity, or powerlessness.

Concentration on a symbol, a color, an object, the candle flame, an image or maybe an interesting question or pick something that best suits your state of mind that moment. The main aim is to achieve a state of mind where space and time just never already exist. This is what spiritualists called 'altered state of consciousness'.

Maria Duval - Pentacle, Amulet and Talisman

In many societies, religious objects are used as amulets and talismans. A religious amulet may be a statue of a particular god or simply a symbol representing divinity, such as a cross for Christians or the 'Eye of Horus' for the ancient Egyptians.

Egypt lies at the very core of pentacular and talismanic sciences. With symbols engraved in stone, its occult theology and sacertal organisation, the immense hidden wisdom of this country was at the epicentre of the evolution of the noblest traditions of humanity.

The ancient Egytians had many different amulets, to suit all occasions and needs, often figuring the scarab-headed god Khepri or The Ankh (the key of eternal life).

Talismans are also abound in Jewish tradition. Many museums have exhibits dating from the times of King Solomon, who was without doubt one of the greatest creators of pentacles and talismans.

Muslims, Buddhists and Chinese cultures are also known incorporate amulets, pentacles and talismans in their religious routines or for general spiritual well-being.

The summary is that you can see the important role these items play in the daily lives of different cultures and religions in different parts of the world.

Talismanic Magic

Before Maria Duval goes on to reveal the secret instructions through her personalised teachings that will allow her to get the best out of her special talismans, she will first inform you something about their magical potentials.

This will give you a better understanding of how talismanic magic works and make an even bigger success of the Seven Precious Talismans now in your possession.

Commonly known as good luck charms, amulets, pentacles or talismans, these magical objects allow us to get in touch with our inner self, serving as both a source of calm or motivation, to protect ourselves, to draw the very best energy towards us, to find answers to our questions and solutions to our problems.

These are essentially incredible tools with the powers to attract or activate 'well being'.

Amulets: from the latin amuletum, meaning 'an object giving protection', a close cousin of the talisman, amulets may take the form of any object designed to bring luck or ensure the safety of its owner. They came in many different guises, gemstones, statuettes, coins, pictures, rings, plants, animals and etc. Talismans are commonly thought to attract positive vibrations, whole amulets repel negative energies.

Pentacles: also known as the 'magic seal'. It is printed on a piece of virgin parchment, or on goat skin, or engraved in some previous metals. Pentacles are symbols made of geometrical forms and letters of the sacred alphabet. Whether they feature words written in Latin or Hebrew or in shapes like squares, circles or starts, pentacles represent the inlink with the entity whose powers the owner wans to share. Each pentacle is made for a specifc function, and it captures and harnesses the occult power in which it is the symbolic representation.

Talismans: whereas pentacles are generally not personal, talismans are made specifically for the person who is to carry them, hence talismans are very personal. Talismans are essentially magical objects possessing occult powers; they have the dual function of receiving and radiating positive vibrations and energies and secondly insulating against malicious vibrations. It has to be worn with love and respect.

There is happiness in making others happy

Maybe you have read this little account of 2 sicked men in hospital somewhere, but do spend your 1 min of your time reading it again as it simply inspires me to be positive and make people around you happy:

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room’s only window

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.

Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats.. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band – he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, ‘Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.’

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.

‘Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .’

The Magical Energy Of The Mind Over Money

According to Maria Duval, in it's highest form, it’s your thoughts and your will which make money what it is. Without them, it’s just a dead tool. Hence, you're the one who is holding the money and decide to provide life to the money, and as you identify the place it goes, bringing life to everyone associated with the process. This sturdy link between you and money can only turn into a noble factor when you be taught the artwork of using it well, and moving it. And through this process, you'll accomplish a artistic magic act

This is an act of creation and love.

On the similar scale, there is a want for you to understand and love money spiritually if you're looking for money to respond you. I know that this concept goes against typical ethical teachings. However, in the realm of the occult, it's true. There is a chance that money will run away from you when you don't subconsciously love it. A lot of people who find themselves poor tend to resent money and also the individuals who of their opinion have too much Don't you think this is the gravest mistake one can make in life?. This is just like you might be pushing away your lover and then declare that your life is empty. Do not ever shun what you would like for in life unknowingly, otherwise this person or factor that you like will not come back to you.

Generally, we ought to like cash unashamedly, and it will love you. No criticism of its vitality, power or nature. There’s no such thing as “dirty money”, as money can only by polluted by the individual handling it which is a radically disimilar things. The Laws and Secrets of attracting money are for the most half very simple.

We often know them already in an intuitive type of way.

However, how can you explain for the truth that some folks live comfortably and enjoy fantastic wealth whereas others meet with nothing other than distressing setbacks and all types of hurdles?

In truth, the explanation why some people do not give themselves a pleasant life is because they simply don’t know how to consciously employ these tips to produce concrete prosperity.

Did anyone watch the Lunar Eclipse by the way? ;-)

Maria Duval: Advice for effective ‘magnetisation'

Here are a few basic principles from Maria Duval to help you become more ‘magnetic’.

- First of all, it’s a very good idea to magnetise the characteristics of whatever it is you desire, at the same time as its specific form. You can magnetise a symbol of the object of your desire, if you don’t know what it actually looks like. Symbols are very powerful, because they go beyond your thoughts and beliefs about what might come to you.

- Dare to ask for what it is you want, and more. And have the conviction that you can get whatever it is you have asked for.

- You must have high self-esteem and be determined to get this thing that you want. You must think positively, because heightened and positive thoughts have a magnetic power far greater than worry, fear and tension.

- It’s important not to have an ‘urgent need’ for this thing you are seeking to attract, but rather maintain a certain detachment. If the desire object ultimately manifests itself in a different form to the one you were expecting, this is not important. Once you have asked for something, accept what comes to you as just right.

- It’s better to start with something you think you have a good chance of manifesting. Achieving this will give you a positive experience and inspire your confi dence in your incipient magnetising abilities. Try to perfect your capacity to get exactly what you have represented. Endeavour to attract it to you with ever greater speed and ease. As your skill increases, you will be able to magnetise larger, more expensive items, or things that you currently feel are unachievable.

- When creating using energy, your best tools are creativity, inventiveness, a playful spirit and a spontaneous imagination. Every time you do a magnetism exercise, you’ll notice that you have new thoughts, ideas and feelings. Manifestation is a dynamic state, in a perpetual state of flux. The power of your
magnetism and your mental images may well vary from one time to another.

- Visualisation consists in using your imagination to conjure up a representation of your desire before it becomes yours. The more realistic your expansive, boundless ideas are, the easier it will be to manifest them. When you represent that something is already in your possession, you start to harmonise with that thing and you plant the seed of a feeling its existence in your present reality. This feeling starts to attract it towards you.

- Focusing your mind involves keeping it fixed firmly on a particular thought or image, to the exclusion of all other things. Focusing on an object with all your concentration for several minutes will attract it towards you quicker.

- If, when you’re focusing your thoughts on something, you can already almost ‘feel it getting nearer’, this means you’re using the right amount of energy. If you use too much energy, the object of your desires will either not come to you at all or it will take a long time manifesting itself; the thing you want will seem very
far away, and feel more wished-for than real.

- Magnetise the things you want as often as you want them, for several minutes or more, as you feel the need. When you’ve achieved a level of mastery of magnetism and can manifest a certain type of thing, you can try achieving results at a higher
level, and attracting things to you that you would never have considered you could possibly have in your life.
