Maria Duval - The ʻTree of the Fruits of Lightʼ

Another technique to hone your creative visualisation from Maria Duval.

1. Find a quiet, well-ventilated place where you wonʼt be disturbed, with suitable lighting that is not too bright. You might want to burn some incense or light a candle. Slip into some loose clothing, ideally in natural fabrics (linen, cotton, wool). Settle yourself down comfortably, back nice and straight, legs and arms uncrossed (this promotes energetic circulation). Use a visual aid (card or material) to help you identify more clearly with the colour youʼre going to be working with – in this case, lemon yellow.

2. Close your eyes and start to relax, to release your tension… free yourself of all cares, all stress. To do this, use your conscious breathing. As you breathe in, slowly and deeply, you are accessing the subtler energies contained in the air… then hold your breath as this air invigorates and purifies all the cells in your body. Now, as you breathe out, expel all your tension onto the purifying flame of the candle… all your fears, your anxieties and all the negativity that is holding you back.

3. Now visualise-imagine a sphere of white light above your head… see it enter you through the crown of your head, purify you and re-energise your whole body… it illuminates your face, then the nape of your neck, your back, your chest, purifying every one of your organs, relaxing your arms, descending down to your legs, then back up your spine, instantly eliminating all tension. Continue breathing slowly and deeply… allow this light-energy to regenerate, harmonize, purify and illuminate your aura. You are now in a receptive state.

4. Visualise the colour lemon-yellow… like a bright ray, the colour lemon penetrates you.. you are sitting down, at the foot of a tree with fruits of light, a lemon tree. You lift your head… its fruits shine above you among the leaves… a cool, aromatic breeze caresses you in the light… the air around the lemons is luminous. Let this lemon colour enter you through the pores of your skin and lift you up, purify you… the energy of the lemon colour runs through you like a breath of freshness… everywhere it passes, it fills you, spilling out from your body into your aura. Your aura fills with joy, with cheer and with light.

5. Take some time to assimilate this light properly… the lemon colour gives you mastery over your self, making you more communicative, inspired and optimistic and promotes the expansion of your consciousness… you have absorbed all the virtues and powers associated with this colour. Then thank the Inner Source that has given you this experience. When you are ready, gradually regain awareness of your body, open your eyes… you feel full of energy, purified and in harmony with life.

Contine to feel blessed :)

The Candle Exercise

Psychic Maria Duval says that the candle exercise is excellent for achieving the level of concentration conducive to good visualisation. Settle yourself down comfortably and steady your breathing so it is calm and relaxed. Close your eyes and, behind the ʻscreenʼ of your closed eyelids, at a point located between the eyebrows, just above the bridge of your nose (third eye), visualise a candle, with strength and determination.

Create a mental image of a candle, first the base in white or coloured wax, the wick, then the blue, gas-like flame and finally the yellow-orange flame, which flickers gently, as if in a light breeze. Keep the image of the object firmly in your mind, without losing your concentration…donʼt allow other thoughts to invade your mind… Once you can manage to maintain a clear image for several minutes, without losing yourself in parasitic thoughts that dissolve the image, you can consider the exercise complete. You have to be able to ʻseeʼ the candle, in as much detail as possible, with your eyes closed.

Maria Duval confirms that this exercise will teach you to create thought-forms and to develop your ʻpsychic visionʼ.

If necessary, you can go through a preliminary stage before you do the exercise. This involves lighting a candle and focusing all your attention on it (at a distance of around 40 centimetres from your face), keeping your eyes open, without blinking. Try to memorise every last detail faithfully. Then close your eyes (before they start watering!): youʼll notice how the image of the candle remains fixed for a moment on the retina of your eye, before gradually dissolving. Before the image totally disappears, recreate the thought-form of that candle using a mental image… In other words, from that point onwards, focus your concentration on the internalized image of the candle within you and visualise it. Imagine a beautiful halo of golden light completely surrounding this candle. Hold this perception for as long as possible.

Persevere with your training: after several attempts, youʼll find youʼre able to hold clearer, more detailed images, for longer and longer periods.

Invigorate the Aura through Creative Visualisation

Through the power of Creative Visualisation, you can purify and invigorate your Aura. This technique to self improve your conscious mind is an excellent method for making colours act ʻinternallyʼ.

The visualisation process at the same time mobilizes the energy of the imagination and the energy of thought, channelling this energy to harmonise the etheric, astral and mental auras within the auric egg.

Visualisation - which concerns mental images in the form of thought – is an invisible, yet highly powerful source of energy. With it we can open a clean, clear connection between the self and the subconscious, in a universal language: the language of images.

Visualising draws on imagination and inventiveness. It is a happy combination of self=suggestion and image: it is seeing in thought, seeing with the eyes of the mind. You already have everything you need to practice visualisation within you. You need no external assistance, just a little time. Visualising involves allowing an internal image to rise up within you, using your mental energy.

This requires some active participation on your part…but it really is worth the effort! Remember that the chakras and subtle bodies react swiftly to the internal images and to the visualisation of the colours.

The exercises youʼll need to do are simple, effective and will allow you to benefit from the full strength of visualisation.

At the start of your apprenticeship, to encourage the infl ux of mental images, promote intuition and increase your capacity for concentration, do this short exercise as a sort of ʻwarm-upʼ: place the fi ngers of your right hand on the top of your head (crown chakra) and the fi ngers of your left hand in the middle of your forehead (3rd eye).

Keep your fingers in this position until you feel a ʻpulseʼ, a tingling or a warming feeling in these two points.

Being Psychic

Yes, I remember when I was much younger, being psychic was like those scenes from the Hollywood supernatural movies like Final Destination. That was cool, I thought. And its so great to have such supernatural and spiritual power on hand so that you can forewarn your family or friends of the imminent disasters that were about to occur.

So now that I have been seeking from Maria Duval about psychic, clairvoyance, intuition and spiritual growth, I can see how I can be confused by this question, what if I am also psychic?

It is certainly rather misunderstood from what we are fed via mainstream media channels like movies. But since then, I have seen that the Hollywood version of psychic is extreme. The truth is that we are all capable of being psychic, as what Maria tells me.

She told me that to become psychic just means that I shall try to use more of my intuitive sense rather than the five physical senses of touch, smell, taste, hearing and sight that give information about the physical world.

However, most of the universe is made up of energy. Energy is invisible. Your intuitive senses allow you to sense invisible things.

Many ancient cultures believe that we have intuitive senses, just as we have physical senses, and that we should use both as appropriate so that life will be much protected from dangers.

Be Psychic.

Repetition of Positive Affirmations

Maria Duval teaches that there is a very useful technique that allows you to use the creative power of thoughts and cancel out the harmful effects of ʻdarkʼ thoughts. It consists in the repetition of positive affirmations.

Throughout history, Masters and Initiates with an understanding of the spiritual and astral planes have used this type of affirmation (sometimes called a mantra), either recited or chanted, to purify their Aura and protect their charisma.

This exercise of repetition is simple and the benef ts are quite impressive and well worth you dedicating some time out of your day. Itʼs an opportunity to better exploit the creative potential of thought, to channel your mental energy effectively, gain greater psychic power, activate your chakras and purify your aura.

Here are a few examples of some creative affirmations you could use. You can create your own, adapted to your own personal objectives. The most important thing is that as you repeat them
you remain focused on the meaning of the words spoken, with all your consciousness, determination and love.

– I … (your name), am open to accept the riches and good things the Universe has to offer, and I receive them in joy.

– Repeating positive affirmations on a daily basis opens up an ever wider to happiness and success.

– A positive mental attitude is an unlimited source of well-being, happiness, success and health.

– A source of Universal Cosmic Energy lies dormant within me, all I need to do is become aware of it, and it will awaken and come to my aid.

– With my positive mental attitude, I will invite the creative forces of the universe into my life to help me. They will regenerate my psyche, harmonising my chakras and purifying my Aura.

Maria Duval stresses that always formulate your affi rmations in the present tense. Speak your formula (or formulas) throughout the day, as often as possible.

The best times for repeating your positive affirmations are in the morning, when you wake up, and in the evening, before you go to sleep. Itʼs better to say them out loud, but you can also rehearse them mentally.

A Powerfully Conditioning Effect

Basically, our thoughts have a powerfully conditioning effect on the quality of our personal environment, in the material, relational and spiritual spheres.

Let Maria Duval give you a piece of advice thatʼs worth its weight in gold: never forget that you are creating your own reality with your thoughts! This is because the external reality in which you live is nothing more than the reflection, or the natural prolongation, of your ʻinternal worldʼ, coloured by your thoughts, emotions and feelings.

Maria Duval says believe in her with a little concentration and rigor, ʻcontrollingʼ your thoughts is totally achievable…easy even, when you get into the habit. Paying attention to your thoughts is a very effective way of maintaining a luminous, radiant aura filled with vital energy.

Additionally, if you want to purify and energise your Aura, reactivating its colours and therefore your personal luck in the areas associated with these colours, you can use Creative Formulas.

I Tweet, I Follow

Recently I learn something new which is called microblogging and this is really interesting. Do forgive me. I know this microblogging stuff has been in the rage for the past couple of years and probably you are already an expert in that :) Well, as people say all the time, it's never too late to pick up a new trend or new skill, as we must continually seek self-improvement in all aspects of our life.

Do check out my Twitter microblogging at http://twitter.com/luckmoneylove. There is really another world out there. Presently I have over 500 followers, and the more people you follow, the more followers you get in return, all according to the law of the universe.

Yes, I am also amazed that there are many people around who are into spiritual self-improvement, psychic and clairvoyance topics. It's a perfect avenue to link up one another.

Twitter is really great as it allows lazy people like me to concisely share my thoughts to the world, in a snap and fast way. I admit it is more appealing than mainstream blogging like this one. However, i will still spend time to blog here properly as time allows. You can tweet from anywhere, from your iPhone, or any 3G connected phone. It's really simple. I wish Maria Duval tweets too, so that i can follow her. I wonder if this is possible for her to do...

Please follow me at http://twitter.com/luckmoneylove and I will follow you back.

Many thanks!
