Paintings October 24, 2009

 

 

  Kundalini Rising, acrylic on wood with copper and quartz crystal. 5ft, Not for sale.

Silvia began painting as a child in Southern Germany near the Black Forest. Her parents’ family friends became her first enthusiastic patrons. Fifteen years ago, Silvia came to the United States. In 2001, a career change allowed time to pursue more creative endeavors, and she re-discovered her passion for painting.
 
Silvia finds the process of painting to be a meditative and therapeutic form of self-expression and discovery. Inspired by the spiritual experiences that illuminate /elucidate the marrow of existence, her intimate journey is offered to an audience, which often finds more than aesthetic delight in her work. Each painting is a unique and vivid exploration of our hidden realms which invites their admirers to engage in their own voyage of meditative self-discovery.

Pendulums October 17, 2009

 Pendulums have been used for centuries to find things – water, gold, oil – treasures of all kinds including answers! Through the ages, people have used the pendulum to guide them toward correct answers to their important questions. It is one of the oldest, and one of the simplest methods of obtaining information intuitively.

Just as radios pick up informaiton form unseen radio waves, the pendulum is a powerful antenna that sends and receives vibrational information from energy waves emitted by people, places, thoughts and things.

Some believe that the pendulum find the connection to the intuitive parts of the mind. “Divining” with a pendulum is  a method of connecting with a higher power in order to obtain information  from a divine source. Scientific research indicates that the pendulum responds to electromagnetic energy that radiates from everything on Earth.

 

STAR OF DAVID OM PENDULUM WITH BLUE JASPER AND HORN BEADS. - The scriptures tell us that "OM" is the planets primordial vibration from which the entire universe has arisen. All other sounds are contained within it. It is believed that "OM" is the mother of all languages. Repetition of "OM" enables us to maintain mental and emotional calmness, overcome obstacles and enable understanding. In Indian tradition it is a word suggestive of God.

GANESHA PENDULUM WITH RED CORAL AND HORN BEAD. $29 - Probably the most popular god in the Hindu pantheon is Ganesha, the god with an elephant’s head, who is worshipped by Hindus, Buddhists and Jainists alike.

Pendulum Instructions

Settle comfortably with your pendulum. Hold the top of the string in your dominant hand and suspend the pendulum in front of you. Allow your inner self to be still, and allow the pendulum to be still. Feel yourself as one with the pendulum, and feel the stillness connecting you and the pendulum. Always start by asking and thanking the pendulum for its help. You can do that either at the start of your session, or before and after each question. Surround your self with white light and protective energy. Ask the pendulum to show you “yes.” Sit quietly and the pendulum will start to move in a certain direction. When you are sure of the movement, tell it thank you. It will then stop moving. Repeat the previous step for “no”. It should show you a definite different direction. Thank it after each step, and it should stop its motion. Begin your questions, and keep track of what the pendulum is telling you. Keep your questions to yes and no, and be as brief and uncomplicated as you can. Remember that a pendulum is a tool, whether plain or fancy. It is there to assist you in getting in touch with your own higher self and your guiding spirits. Give it the respect that you would give any good tool, but remember that the power is coming from outside. Keep your questions and lists of questions brief. Don’t overuse your pendulum. If you don’t like the answers you get, don’t keep asking and hoping they will change! Instead, ask yourself why you need the answer to be different and look at your own attitudes. Start every session by asking to be shown “yes,” “no”. The directions may vary from time to time or with different pendulums.
