  The concept of the “Self” lies at the core of many spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is often described as the most fundamental aspect of our being, the true essence of who we are. However, the Self is not something we can easily grasp through our usual means of understanding, like thought, perception, or intellect. It transcends our physical, mental, and emotional experiences, yet it is ever-present and underlies all of them. In this chapter, we will explore what the Self is, how it differs from the ego or personality, and why understanding the Self is key to realizing true reality. The Self as Pure Consciousness At its essence, the Self is pure consciousness. It is the awareness that observes all experiences, but it is not limited by or attached to those experiences. It is the unchanging witness of all that arises in life—the thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions we experience daily. To grasp this concept, think about a movie screen.

Herbal therapy

By Anelly Aya

 

 Herbal therapy, also known as herbal medicine, is the use of plants or plant extracts for medicinal purposes. It is a traditional form of medicine that has been used for centuries in various cultures and continues to be popular today. The active ingredients in herbs can be used to treat a variety of health conditions, including digestive issues, skin conditions, pain, and anxiety. However, it is important to note that not all herbs have been scientifically proven to be effective, and some can be harmful if used improperly. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any herbal therapy.

Herbal therapy medicine has often been associated with spirituality in many cultures, as plants have long been used for their medicinal and spiritual properties. In some traditional practices, herbal medicines are believed to contain not only physical, but also spiritual and emotional healing qualities. For example, certain herbs may be used in rituals or ceremonies to enhance spiritual experiences, bring balance and harmony to the mind and body, or provide protection and guidance.

In these spiritual practices, the use of herbal medicines is often seen as a way to connect with nature, the divine, or ancestral spirits. Some practitioners believe that the spiritual properties of herbs can help to heal not only the physical body, but also the spirit, emotions, and mental well-being.

However, it's important to note that the spiritual aspect of herbal therapy medicine can vary widely depending on cultural and individual beliefs. While some may consider it an essential part of their healing journey, others may see it as separate from or even in opposition to spirituality.

In some belief systems and spiritual practices, herbs are used as tools for magic and spirituality. They may be used in spells, rituals, or other forms of magic to bring about desired outcomes, such as love, wealth, protection, or healing.

Each herb is believed to have its own unique qualities and energies, and may be associated with specific elements, planets, or deities. For example, lavender may be used for calming and relaxation, while rosemary is believed to protect against negativity and improve memory.

It's important to note that the use of herbs in magic is not supported by scientific evidence and may not be recognized or respected by all cultures and belief systems. Additionally, the use of certain herbs can be hazardous to health if not used properly, and it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before using any form of herbal therapy, including for magical purposes.

Karma: A Path to Redemption, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

By Anelly Aya
    Karma is a term often shrouded in misconceptions. Frequently perceived as a form of cosmic retribution or a means to exact punishment, karma is often portrayed as a lurking force that deals out slaps for wrongdoings. However, this perspective oversimplifies and distorts the true essence of karma, reducing it to a mere tool of vengeance. In reality, karma is much more profound and compassionate - a mechanism for redemption, healing, and spiritual growth. Rather than being a punitive force, karma offers a sacred opportunity to make amends, clear past missteps, and ultimately return to a state of unity with the Divine. Understanding Karma Beyond Punishment At its core, karma is not about punishment. It does not operate with a vindictive spirit, nor does it seek to inflict harm for the sake of justice. Instead, karma functions as a spiritual mirror, reflecting back to us the energies we have put into the world. These reflections are not meant to condemn but to en...

The Self is the only reality

By Anelly Aya
  "The Self is the only reality that always exists, and in its light, all things are seen. We forget this and direct our attention to the external world. The hall is illuminated whether there are people in it or not, whether they are performing a play or nothing is happening. It is the light that allows us to see the hall, the people, and their performance. We are so absorbed by the objects or phenomena revealed by the light that we fail to pay attention to the light itself. Like the torches in the hall that always burn, the light of Consciousness or the Self is always present—whether in the waking state or the dream state, where things appear, or in deep sleep, where nothing is seen. What we must do is focus on the seer, not the seen, not on the objects, but on the light that reveals them." — Ramana Maharshi.
