How to Create a Personal Sacred Space

Sometime ago, I published on ehow.com this article "How to Create a Personal Sacred Space" as guide by Maria Duval.

Here is the introduction of the ehow article.

More people are realizing the importance of spirituality in this chaotic world. Practicing spirituality allows one to seek the truth of life, achieve calmness and increase intuition. Therefore, it is always desirable to have a space at own home where you can perform rituals. This will allow you to replenish your energy rapidly and effectively due to the spiritual strength that accumulates during the rituals.

Let me explain to you how to set up a sacred space at home.

Maria Duval - How to wear your planetary seal

Now that you have found out which is your planetary seal, it is time to put to good positive use to optimise its effectiveness.

If you doubt yourself, if you have fits of anguish, unexplained fears, feeling of weakness, if you feel empty, sad or indifferent to everything, this planetary seal you are holding can give you back a taste for living, and inspire you with enthusiasm and energy.

For this to happen, you must have it constantly on your person. Rather than putting it in one of your pockets, tie your planetary seal, which Maria Duval wants to remind you that it should be rolled up and placed in a square of material tied at the 4 corners, with a piece of wool long enough for it to be able to go around your neck so that your Seal rests on your chest at the middle of the breastbone.

In time of need, put your right hand on your Seal over your clothes and say quietly:

"Seal of (name of your Seal)
I feel your presence
Seal of (name of your Seal)
Watch over me
Thanks to you, (name of your Seal)
I am filled with strength and joy."

Maria Duval suggests to repeat this prayer for at least 5 times before resuming the course of your activities.

Wish you have a great and wonderful 2010 ahead.

Personal Sacred Space

Festive cheers are filling the airs and most of us are busy shopping for gifts now as Christmas is less than 10 days away. I can feel the happier and lighter mood too. The weather is just nice too! It seems like everything is blissful and peaceful now. Could it be due to more people are realising how spirituality practice can help to soften one's hardened life in this chaotic world?

Maria Duval regards spiritual practice as a enlightened way to seek the Truth of life, reclaim the calmness in your life and also enhance your intuition level. That's why she advises spiritual practitioner to have own sacred space to perform rituals. This means you can replenish your energy rapidly and effectively due to the spiritual strength that accumulates during the rituals.

Find a small area in your own room for this purpose. Otherwise, use a screen to form up a small space at a more isolated point of your bedroom, and this is going to be a sacred space for you to spend your spiritual moments. You can invoke streams of positive energy to manifest within you, and where you can meditate peacefully every night just before you sleep or when you are seeking spiritual inspirations.

1. Set up a small altar (a table, chimney breast, sideboard), preferably facing East direction where the sun rises. Cover it with a clean white cloth.

2. Place a white candle a each of the back corners of the altar.

3. Place a sacred image of your choice, between these two candles, that aligns to your own religious beliefs or your ideals.

Occasionally, sprinkle the altar and the surrounding area (carpets, curtains, etc) with a few drops of oil of lavender or basil. You can also burn incense.

Keep your sacred space clean and well-ventilated. Always enter it with positive thoughts and with respects. Do not smoke in your sacred space.

Lastly, if for whatever reasons, you cannot have a permanent sacred space at home, set up a temporary one. The important thing is to have the right psychic and mental attitude and to always use the same area.

Having a personal sacred space will enable you to perform your spiritual rituals to attain maximum benefits and your life will be transformed. Soon, you will be more positive towards life and have more compassion to the those around you. Intuitively, your awareness will improve too.

Maria Duval on Pranic Healing

Prana is a form of vital energy from a person who does Yoga. Prana is subtle, luminous and ethereal. It has a power to reinvigorate a person.
Prana is the vital energy that a yogi (a person who practises yoga) draws from the air. It is a subtle, luminous and ethereal energy that has the power to revitalise the body.

If there is a control of prana, a person can rehabilitate diseases by redirecting the flow of prana to the affected body organs or parts which require healing. When this happens, the body part will be nourished once again by the pranic energy and soon be able to heal.

Okay, I shall share with a very effective pranic healing technique from Maria Duval which you can use to heal your body.

1. Sit down near to the ill person.

2. Do not open eyes and inhaledeeply.

3. Control your breath and channel the pranic energy to flow to the affected part of the body of the patient, either mentally, or by gently putting your hands on the body part concerned.

4. Visualise the healing energy that comes out from your hands and the energy goes into the affected organ.

5. Concentrate your thoughts on that part and chant silently. Imagine with all your strength the prana penetrating the cells to regenerate and heal them.

6. Breathe out and take another deep breath before starting again. Do not hold your breath for too long.

You can also perform this technique on yourself when you are ill, either by placing one or two hands on the part that is in pain, or by projecting the prana though simple telepathy. A session of five to ten minutes per day will generally be sufficient to obtain good results.

Spiritual healing is a form of healing that is all about inner attitude. Spiritual healing is also a forming of a connection with your divine consciousness, that is to say, the Higher Spirit in you that has no equal. You may also wish to consult psychic Maria Duval for more detailed information about the pranic healing technique.

Maria Duval - positive thought energy and prayers

Every intention in the Universe vibrates constantly. How strong is the tremor gives us the municipal of the target, whether in dense, liquid or gaseous. With this quivering, there is energy. Hence stuff was made up of energy. And this energy is given out when the protest vibrates. Since living things like us are also made up from specks of molecules and atoms, we are also vibrating constantly and generous out energy at the same time. The energy we give out spreads out and into the Universe, commonly within the terrestrial sphere.

These vibrations transmit and store our view, terms and actions across the legroom. They control our immediate surroundings. Which is why many spiritual teachers say that if we port damaging opinion about a guise, that character could be influenced by our harmful feelings, and thus causing problems in life for him or her, at some playhouse of time in the eminent,

Which is this persuade why we always recommend people to think and divide decisive belief to gain the world to make it a more compassionate place. Through these upbeat thought emissions, we are indirectly helping to advance and cherish the world!

Furthermore, since the Law governed the intact Universe of Action and Reaction, meaning each action exerted will obtain a different quantity of retort in certain form, we are sooner or later unnatural by everything we think, say and do.

That is the reason we people pray. Prayers give us prospect and send out upbeat thought energy to the Universe, and we know that something good will yield to us in life as what we have requested in the prayers. Prayers also suppress negative thoughts and invite confirmed energy that helps us to principal a peaceful and harmonious life with the surrounding.

Maria Duval - A Natural Prayer

A prayer is a string of thoughts or words expressed naturally and pays tribute or gratitude to the divinity. Meditation and singing can be said to be some forms of prayer too. Maria Duval puts it clearly that "prayer is the first magic ceremony", and it must arise sincerely from your heart. When someone prays, there is a temporary fusion of one's mind with the higher divine spirit, and naturally open to unconditional love and cosmic energies around.

In terms of the parapsychic world, prayer is something like "astral pull" which links an individual to the astral flow of energies, hence allowing and encouraging the fulfillment of wishes at both material and spiritual levels.

Maria Duval's Egyptian Magic Formulas have the power to enhance the spiritual influence related to them into action. Reciting them repeatedly and consciously will allow an individual to enter into the interplay of vibrations that make up the universe and involve in guiding those energies.

For these magic formulas to work more effectively, Maria Duval suggests to practise some simple exercise which she would teach so that this will better promote the opening of an intuitive channel of energy as this will allow more cohesive "communication" with the universe.

This set of exercise breaks down the self limitations, inner fears and false beliefs that could stifle the benefits of the magic formulas, and in the end, it makes the flow of intuitive energy much more effective and allow the prayers to help you reap the full benefits in your life.

Maria Duval - Egyptian Magic Formula

Maria Duval would like to reveal to you the extremely creative qualities of the special "Egyptian Magic Formulas". Through this revelation, the subconscious mind can lead you towards success, so that you can live a fuller and better life with happiness.

What Maria Duval means is that through this, you can achieve love, money, luck, health and this is what most poeple yearn for in life. The Universe has unending resources hence everyone should have a chance to have these goodness in life.

The power is set in motion by repeating the formulas in specific conditions. This is extremely effective and is a powerful trigger for more successes and happiness. The effects generated by the strength of the Word is an undoubted sense recognised by Masters around the world. Even modern psychology admits the existence of these "powers".

Before a person can release of the magic energy contained in these Egyptian Formulas, he must be prepared physically and psychologically. Maria Duval says a person must be in a proper state of mind and in an inspired way, not monotonous routine. It must also come from the heart so that the spirit in us can be opened to unconditional love and cosmic energies.

Why do people pray?

Everything in this world and universe vibrates constanly. Hence every object is made up of energy. When object vibrates, it gives out energy. So since living things like us are also made up of molecules, we are also giving out energy and vibrating constantly. The energy we give out is spreading out and into the universe, usually within the terrestrial sphere.

These vibrations are transmitted by our thoughts, words and actions. They influence our immediate surroundings. That is why Maria Duval says the more negative thoughts we have about a person, the more that person will be influenced by our negative thoughts, and causing them problems as a result.

Actually, it is better than we emit more positive thought energy to other people so that it may improve and nurture them. But as you know, people are quick to discredit and slow to give compliments and this is the case in any culture. This quick negative judgment of people tends to give out the effect if making their lives more difficult. The same applies to our words and action.

However, since the entire Universe is governed by the law of action and reaction, meaning each action exerted will receive an equal amount of reaction in certain form, we are sooner or later affected by everything we think, say and do.

That's the reason why we people pray. Maria Duval says it is to suppress negative thoughts and attract positive energy that helps us develop positively and lead a peaceful and harmonious existence.

Pardon is the magic result of prayer.

From the previous post......

Gradually, you will form a number of good habits that no longer require any effort at all.

Maria Duval says, as a result of the continual practice, you will be kinder to other people, you will get less tired, you will be more productive. In other words, your mental well-being, your health and your career will all benefit from the favourable effects of this step-by-step positive evolution.

You will acquire a calm and patient temperament, created consciously to begin with and them displayed automatically after a while. This is the way to mend your faults, and to acquire the good habits and the qualities you would love to have.

Maria Duval - about prayers

Continuing from the previous post about prayers from Maria Duval....

Then you make a conscious decision that you need to gain more control over some of your emotions. Just choose one emotion to begin with, let's say impatience for example. You decided you need to curb your impatience. When all day long, you are looking forward to the time when you can relax, do this patiently. As soon as the slightest thing happens to make your patience wear thin, say to yourself:

"I will remain patient and I will take advantage to observe the pattern of my impatience in detail, to help me to detach myself from it."

By the time evening comes, you will realise that instead of showing your impatience ten times during the day, you have only shown it three or four times.

With your conscious mind in charge in this way, you will gradually manage to check and master each of your emotions.

And you will finally reach the point where you are no longer impatient at all. After a few months' training, you will be calm, as subconsciously, you will have acquired the habit of being calm.

Once you have gotten a grip on this first emotion, you can teach yourself another new habit, like getting up early in the morning and so on...

I shall continue on Maria Duval's views about prayers.

Maria says that as you concentrate regularly on a prayer, which reflects your thoughts and sincerely expresses your desires, you are creating a healthy habit which has an effect on your subconscious and therefore your destiny.

You also need to train your subconscious by constantly using auto-suggestions.

What does this mean?

In order to succeed, you need to be in good health, have good intentions, develop a strong will, train yourself to be disciplined, orderly and methodical. You may also like to improve your temperament.

Thus Maria Duval suggests, you need to implement a programme and stick to it faithfully. Example, you may like to decide to get into the habit of rising early in the morning or doing some physical exercise. Or you might train yourself to think positively, to concentrate, to pray, to consume less substance that are damaging to your health, like nicotine and alcohol. So basically, to behave in all circumstances like someone who is positive, disciplined and in control of themselves.

Maria Duval - more about prayers

Maria Duval has suggested a prayer to you but of course you can make up with your own words to express your personal desires.

Pray as follows:

"I forgive myself for having entertained negative thoughts about myself or about anybody else, and I am determined to refrain from doing so again."

"I affirm that love, light, harmony, truth, beauty, abundance and security of God are flowing through me, freely and joyously, and I know that I'm blessed and enriched beyond my wildest dreams."

"I radiate love and goodwill towards all beings in the world."

Maria suggests that you repeat this praying out in loud, three times in the morning and again in the evening. As your thoughts dwell on these truths, your ears will be hearing them too, and so you will have two faculties working for your benefits. These truths will penetrate your subconscious.

Maria Duval - about prayers

Psychic Maria Duval adds that praying is thinking in accordance with universal principles and is the act of thinking constructively. It doesn't really matter what church or faith you belong too as the laws of cosmic energy cover everyone and there is absolutely no favourites. The good thing about praying is the fact that the cosmic energy in each of is becomes what we want.

Constructive thoughts harmonise with the cosmic energy and it responds depending on the nature of your thoughts. Maria Duval stresses that your prayer must show a firm, positive, constructive frame of mind, and total conviction. When you submit your desire to your subconscious mind, a response never fails to manifest itself.

Let the Divine Energy flow through us

A advice of wisdom here from Maria Duval who states that if we continuously indulge in remorse, resentment, self-pity or any spiritually destructive thinking, we will be trapped by all kinds of spiritual disorders and this is sapping the Divine Energy all of us have naturally. Which is why, again, it is so important to maintain a positive mental state and we seize control of our own emotions.

When the Divine Energy flows through is harmonious and joyous, this creates a perfect spiritual agreement between the Energy and us, and as a result, we will be blessed with health, peace and all the good riches in this Universe.

According to Maria Duval, a wonderful way of freeing the Energy inside you is through prayers. Prayers is thinking in accordance with universal principles and must show a firm, positive, constructive frame of mind, and total conviction.
