Maria Duval - Put All Your Problems in Perspective

Maria Duval tells me that if you are having problems balancing your budget or if you are short of financial resources, above all don’t despair! Put your problems in perspective. Tell yourself that a “failure” is never definitive, it’s only a temporary setback and not a defeat, a short detour not an impasse.

Regard it as a short-term thing. Learn the obvious lessons from your difficulties and then use them as “fertiliser” to help you to cultivate success. Farmers use compost made from rotting plants, leaf mould, etc., to boost their harvest.

In just the same way, your failures, difficulties, problems, obstacles, can help to enrich the earth of your mind in which you are planting the seeds of success.

Some people maintain that you should avoid problems and failures at all costs. But if you think about it this is non-productive because the only way to avoid making a mistake is to do nothing. Any “failure” contains in it the beginnings of success and achievement. Our failures are merely adjustments in the creative process, which bring us ever closer to our aims.

In reality, there’s no such thing as failure. What we call failure is simply a mechanism through which we learn to do things correctly. To convert your financial (or other) worries into fertiliser, you must first learn from your mistakes and then banish them from your mind. Just regard your failures and disappointments as signposts that will set you back on the right track, that of positive and constructive thinking.

The adversity, which everyone meets in their existence, poses only one danger: that of associating failure with yourself instead of circumstances. Modern psychologists all agree that failures, big or small, mean nothing in themselves.

In conclusion, Maria Duval states that the harvest ravaged by frost or storms does not reflect on the merit of the farmer; neither does it mean that the earth will never be fruitful again!

Maria Duval - Impact of Amethyst on the Body

Endowed with great curative powers, the amethyst is particularly useful for pain relief. Placed over the troubled area, it gently dissipates the pain. During the process, it releases the blocked energy, making it ideal for headaches and migraines, particularly ones caused by tension or stress.

It harmonizes the different energies of the Chakras and the endocrine (hormone) and immune systems. It is a calming, soothing stone that is excellent for purifying the Aura. By fine-tuning the endocrine and metabolic systems, it governs hormone production. Itʼs particularly indicated for calming the hot flushes brought on by excess oestrogen in menopausal women.An amethyst placed over a bruise or wound will rapidly reduce swelling. It calms inflammations and burns, soothes skin infections and can also reduce problems in the lungs and the respiratory system (bronchitis). Thanks to its ability to promote ʻgoodʼ intestinal fl ora and eliminate parasites, it is beneficial for the digestive system, particularly favouring the re-absorption of water.

The amethyst has long been known for its ability to conquer dependencies of all types, so itʼs very useful for treating addictions that have a harmful impact on the body (alcohol, smoking, drugs, etc.).

Maria Duval - Recharging Your Weak Chakra

If your material situation is affected by money problems,caused your career, home, budget, children, etc.… (salary too low, badly paid job, a promotion or pay rise that never seems to happen, rent too high, poor money management, expenses higher than income, hefty loans, expensive educational fees, etc.), the colour bright red is very likely to be missing or diminished in your aura. Use a sample of this colour, placing your hand on the root chakra.

If you canʼt understand why luck consistently evades you, if you always get the feeling youʼre the victim of unfortunate circumstances, that you never seem able to seize lucky opportunities, etc. (no luck on the lottery, youʼre always ʻjustʼ missing one lucky number, juicy business deals pass by right under your nose, a moment too late and youʼre relegated to second place, you choose the duff option among many other good ones, too much gossiping undermines your interests, etc., itʼs more the colour turquoise blue that youʼre lacking, and your hand should be placed on the throat chakra.

If youʼre battling against problems in your love life, if your partner does not respond to your advances, if you want to meet the person whoʼs right for you, if youʼre lacking affection, a victim of solitude or of your own shyness, if you donʼt know how to behave with members of the opposite sex, if the atmosphere at home is getting you down, etc., itʼs probably that the colour green is lacking intensity and brilliance in your aura. You should use an emerald green sample while placing your right hand on your chest.

... And so on, depending on the colour that needs recharging to rebalance your aura.

Maria Duval - Crown Chakra

Located at the top of your head, this chakra is associated with the colour violet, and represents our awareness of the divine part existing within each of us, our own ʻtruthʼ.

It corresponds to the belief system, the perception of spirituality, to wisdom (knowledge of the Universe), to the spiritual path and pure and magical intuition. Beyond space and time, this is what links us to the Holy Spirit.

When the aura is lacking in this colour:

You have trouble ʻinternalisingʼ and balancing your inner life and external life.

You have a structured or dogmatic belief system (you need to believe blindly rather than experimenting to find what best suits you).

You feel separated from the Creator Universe, you have the idea that your life is pointless, you experience a confusing emptiness.

You have a tendency to think that spirituality is boring, or even useless.

Maria Duval - Brow Chakra

Located just above the nose, between the eyebrows, this chakra is associated with the colour indigo. The third eye is the seat of all the processes involved in gaining awareness. It has the potential to create new situations, new realities in the physical and material world, as well as ʻdissolvingʼ former realities that have become obsolete.

When the aura is lacking in this colour:

You lack judgement, seeming unable to make the right choices.

Your inability to use your intuition makes you vulnerable to delusion.

When your perception of life is negative, you are incapable of ʻvisualisingʼ
circumstances or drawing on your creative imagination.

You arenʼt aware of your own resources or true character.

You are ʻfull of yourselfʼ, using solely your intellect and reason. You are unable to see the bigger picture.

Maria Duval - Throat Chakra

Located at the level of the throat, below the Adamʼs apple, this chakra is associated with the colour turquoise blue and facilitates awareness of mental and intellectual processes, distinct from emotional feelings. This means that our thoughts are not dominated by the feelings or physical sensations that prevent us from achieving objective knowledge. Thanks to this chakra, we can capture creative inspiration through the higher mind that drives us.

When the aura is lacking in this colour:

You have communication problems or difficulty expressing yourself clearly (fear of talking about your ideas, feelings, profound beliefs, showing weakness or strength…).

Guilt, excess of rationalism or untimely gossiping, preventing you from being seen for who you are.

You do not express your individuality enough, you donʼt feel like the ʻcreatorʼ of your own life, you donʼt hold the reins of your destiny. Youʼre afraid of change.

You compete with bad luck or you fail to spot the lucky opportunities it conceals (money, in particular, will be in short supply: you are not aware of your personal worth, which can be ʻconvertedʼ into money).

Maria Duval - Living Spiritually On A Higher Level

We are essentially unhappy because we confuse the totality and the part. When we don't see a scenario in its whole, we simply embrace self-destructive propensity.

Take example, take that irritating sinking feel; when, after getting angry, we discover, all too late, that things weren't quite as bad as imagined and it was we who misjudged or misunderstood a particular person or situation. Once we see the situation as a whole, we can assume we were incorrect to be angry, upset, anxious or afraid.

How often have we jumped to conclusion without thinking and then remorsed over our actions after what have happened, when we fully understood the circumstance? So it is crucial to fully dicipher the matter in question. Believe Maria Duval, there is an answer for everything. Nothing that occurs to you, and nothing that you cause to occur, is inexplainable.

Allow light to shot through you rather than worry. It's your decision. Isn't it extraordinary to realise you can always choose what is advantageous for you? All you need to realise that nothing can be modified until you understand that your bad luck is not dependent on events, but creates them.

We tend to think that events which are either favored or inauspicious, good or bad occur. In other words, our feelings reflect what happens from one moment to the next. That is why, at this level, when we are unhappy, our first reflex is to want to change the circumstances we believe to be responsible for our sorrowfulness. We believe that modifying the context in which we are suffering will put an end to that suffering.

This has never been and never will be the case, since it is not the event that makes us unhappy, it is our reaction to the event. What is more, you can free yourself from this unsufferable task, this incredible self-punishment which consists of believing that you are responsible for the destiny of the entire universe.

Lastly, Maria Duval reiterates that the only universe for which you are responsible is your personal inner universe which is the universe of your thoughts, feelings, emotions and desires. Your spiritual development depends on your ability to vision succintly inside this universe. And it is this brand new vision that carries the key to your security. It is the foundation of your future successes since when you are aware of the potholes, your travel through life will be easy and cheerful.
