Have you ever experienced a muscle pull while in deep waters swimming that you felt death was so close? How did you feel when you finally made it above the waters and took a deep breath? More like the breath of life, right? That is how we operate when we keep on holding to our past scars. They enslave us and suffocate our own existence. Luckily, soul searching can help you get back on track and start living your life just the way our creator intended.

So how do you find yourself? How do you finally let go of the past and live a free spirit? And most importantly, how do you stay focused to ensure you never find yourself in this situation ever again? Well, you’re on the right page because this article will answer these and many more questions revolving around soul searching.

Sounds interesting? Read on.

So What Is Soul Searching?

A student once asked his tutor:

“What did you gain from years of meditation?”

The teacher gently replied, “Nothing, my son. But let me share with you what I lost. I lost anxiety, depression, anger, and the fear of death, relationship insecurities, and the fear of growing older. Now I’m living a free spirit.”

Does this sound like one of your dreams? Soul searching helps you to achieve all that and more. In simple terms, soul searching is an intuitive path to self-evaluation with an aim to find a deeper meaning and contentment in life. It’s that simple.

However, that doesn’t happen in a day, of course, but consistency yields long-term results.

Why Do You Need To Find Your Inner Self?

At some point in life, most people are conditioned to live in certain ways, to believe in certain truths, to practice certain careers, religions, etc. Sadly, most of these people actually die without ever figuring out what the other side of these truths feels like.

The significance of tapping into your inner self is that you immediately start to experience inner peace and balance in your daily life.

You see, once you tap into your inner self, you get to understand your life goals, your purpose, motivations, as well as beliefs and practices that add value to your life. As a result, you no longer waste your time and energy meandering in lost paths but instead, you fully focus your energy on paths that you’re destined to excel in. And isn’t that what we all want?

4 Practical Ways You Can Find Your Soul

#1: Take A Self-Realization Quiz

Start asking questions like:

Is this the actual truth or the truth I want to hear?
Is this a healthy relationship or the relationship the world needs to see?

And I’m almost certain you’re here because you’ve already started questioning yourself. So this step will be easy. However, the hardest part is accepting you for who you have become now and working towards changing this narrative moving forward.

I always believe we shouldn’t work so hard at hiding the past but rather take the lessons and use them to create a better future.

#2: Experience The Other Side Of Life For Just A Day

In other words, dare your ego. What have you denied yourself for the longest time in your life all in the pretext of being the “perfect human”? Is it the career you never fulfilled, or the trip you’ve always postponed? It’s time to dare what you consider impossible.

However, let me warn you that your ego will fight you harder. Remember that inner voice that tells you “you can’t ware that Suzie, your belly is too visible” or “you can’t get that mortgage Jack, you’ll be bankrupt before you even retire”.

We’ve all had those moments, haven’t we? Sadly we just nod to our ego and say “I think you’re right, let me find an alternative.”

And by the way, did you know you can overcome some fears just by approaching life in a different angle? For example, a bungee jump, or sky diving can help you overcome your fear of the unknown.

#3: Time to Connect With Your Higher Self

Did you know that your higher self might be trying to communicate with you but you might be blocking its voice? It’s true. That’s why you are suddenly craving a more meaningful life. Suddenly you are starting to see all the missed opportunities. For this reason, you need to pause and listen.

The easiest way to reconnect with a lost soul is through meditation. However, the modern world is too distracting. Instead of fighting the distractions, how about embracing the things you admire in life. Take a walk in the forest, or go deep-sea diving, or even explore your hobbies and find that spot where your mind is mostly at peace. That is when you reach out to your higher self.

#4: Professionals Could Help Too

Some things are above self-help. This is where you need to engage professional help. Be it your Yoga instructor, a therapist, or any professional practitioner within your line of trouble.

Other times, you just need to open up to someone you trust. Someone you can share your past traumas openly without the fear of being judged. Consequently, healing starts.

Moving Forward

Once you find your true self, it’s time to change the narrative. In the self-realization quiz, cross off any character traits you possess that are pulling you backwards. If it’s the shyness, the extreme anger, or the low self-esteem, cross it off and purpose to work on improving these areas henceforth.

One thing I must mention though, change takes time. But as long as you don’t lose your zeal, it can be achieved. Find new goals and new motivation. Let these propel you towards living your new life.

Always remember, not all storms come to disrupt your dreams; some are there to clear your path.

Most Accurate Horoscope For August 2021 Image

This article will share with you the most accurate horoscope for August 2021 based on the Feng Shui flying stars chart. This horoscope includes predictions for different spheres of life and Chinese zodiac signs and very important tips for protection from negative influences of the month and the activation of positive events and good luck.

Most Accurate Horoscope Based On Chinese Zodiac Signs

I believe that the Chinese Horoscope is one of the most accurate horoscopes you can use for correcting the energy of the month in your favor. I follow its recommendations every month and it really helps me to not only attract positive events into my life but also to prevent unfortunate ones.

I often hear that if you focus on positive things in life and follow the law of attraction rules, astrology doesn’t affect you. Yes, a positive mindset is very crucial; however, according to Eastern teachings, there are three kinds of luck that affect each of us:

human luck;
earth luck;
heaven luck.

Your positive mindset is your human luck which is just 33% of your total luck score. Your heaven luck (another 33%) comes from astrology. And your earth luck (33%) depends on Feng Shui and the energy you surround yourself with.

Of course, you can rely on your human luck and believe that your positive mindset can help you overcome all the obstacles. However, let’s say something negative happened and somebody yelled at you or your husband/wife cheated on you or somebody you love died. How many of us can stay 100% calm and positive in situations like this? You see when you allow yourself to react to a negative situation in a negative way you lose your human luck. Now you can rely only on your heaven and earth luck.

Ok, now let’s take a look at your earth luck. Is your house 100% balanced? Is it 100% clean and free of blockages? Does it have all the remedies and protection from negative energy? If your answer is “no”, well, you can’t really rely on your earth luck. And now all that is left is your heaven luck that depends on astrology.

With the help of Chinese astrology, you can fix your situation, protect yourself from the negative influences of the month, and activate good luck! All you need to know is what type of energy rules the month and how to deal with it.

It can be quite dangerous to play around with the energy of the month. After reading my monthly horoscope articles, people who have started to religiously follow all of the Feng Shui recommendations noticed big improvements in their lives. Today I want to share with you these priceless recommendations for August 2021. I’m asking you to take everything you’ll read below seriously. It’s especially important to get all the protection tools for the month because they are literally life saviors!

Katya Ki

Abundance Haircuts is a little-known sutra that reveals the negative consequences of cutting your hair on the bad days and the incredible benefits of cutting it on the good days. Bad and good days for this sutra are based on the Tibetan Calendar. Dates of Abundance Haircuts are calculated according to extremely complex formulas by experienced Feng Shui Masters. Naturally, each year, depending on the stars and their position, these days change.

Most people in the Western world have never heard about abundance haircuts. While for Eastern people it’s not a new practice.

Pay attention to what day you’re picking for your next hair salon appointment – only choose good days for abundance haircuts in August 2021.

Why Is Hair So Important?

Since ancient times, people have given hair and any manipulation of it a sacred meaning. It was thought, that through one’s hair people can connect with the Universe. Hair serves as “antennas” and “guides” between our world and the world of Heaven. And so far this knowledge has not lost its relevance. Hair connects us with Higher forces, cosmic energy, God, Higher consciousness. By connecting through the hair to the Cosmos, a person is fed by the energies of Abundance and Health.

There were many beliefs associated with hair, some of them have survived to the present day. For example: in any case, you should not get a haircut by yourself, as in this case there is a deformation of your energy field, which can lead to poor health. It is also not recommended to get a haircut on the days of a lunar or solar Eclipse: the hair can suffer, weaken, lose shine, and volume.

What Are “Abundance Haircuts”?

It has long been known that there are days when it is especially favorable to cut hair. Among these days there are days of “Abundance haircuts.”

Abundance haircuts are a special ritual to attract abundance flows into your life. It is good to say abundance affirmations and mantras on this day. So you will strengthen the ritual haircut and make it a more effective and efficient force.

On this day it would be beneficial to chant the Lakshmi mantra:

OM HREEM SHREEM LAKSHMI BYO NAMAHA

Or Ganesh mantra:

OM SHRI GANESHAYA NAMAHA

It is also very beneficial to say abundance affirmations like:

I deserve to be abundantly happy and healthy!
My abundance is constantly growing!
I always have money for everything I need!
Money comes to me easily and fast!
I’m grateful for my abundant life!

The Full Thunder Moon 2021: Big Karmic Lessons Are Coming

Published

6 days ago

July 22, 2021

Katya Ki

The Full Thunder Moon 2021 rises on Friday, July 23, 2021. The upcoming Full Moon is often called the Thunder Moon, Buck Moon, Feather Moulting Moon, Salmon Moon, Berry Moon, and Raspberry Moon. The Full Thunder Moon 2021 is the time when we will be learning our karmic lessons and reaping the fruits of our good or bad karma.

In this article, we will share with you everything you need to know about the Full Thunder Moon 2021!

When Is The Full Thunder Moon 2021?

Full Thunder Moon will reach peak illumination at 10:37 P.M. Eastern Time on Friday. Look towards the southeast to watch it rise above the horizon.

Why Is It Called the “Thunder Moon”?

The full moon in July is also called the Thunder Moon because of the frequency of thunderstorms during this hot, dry month.

The Full Moon In Capricorn

According to Vedic astrology, the Full Moon takes place in Capricorn in the lunar mansion of Uttarashadha Nakshatra. Because the Moon is close to Saturn (which is in retrograde motion), there may be depressions and downturns in our personal lives and in the global economy.

Uttarashadha is the nakshatra of truthfulness. This nakshatra is intolerant of behind-the-scene influences and deception. Under the influence of this nakshatra, people will attract lots of life challenges where their truthfulness and authenticity will be tested. The spiritual lesson that Uttarashadha nakshatra brings to us is learning how to see through illusions in order to reveal the true nature of life events.

Under the influence of Uttarashadha Nakshatra, some people will be motivated to fight for what they believe is right. Also, during this time, your commitment to your ideas and moral principles may get tested. Therefore, it’s important to stay firm in your beliefs!

In Uttarashadha, the wisdom and integrity received in Sagittarius are directed to the sign of Capricorn – the field of changing and improving the surrounding world and humanity. Therefore, this Nakshatra puts a big responsibility on humanity, especially, on the world leaders. If the principles that humanity follows are false, then the changes that will be brought to the world will be wrong. In this case, there’s a danger of creating structures that will bind people and put more limitations on them, instead of setting them free.

This nakshatra can also bring health-related issues like weakness of lymphatic vessels, the knees, skin, ears, urinary system, typhoid, dysentery, eczema, and allergies.

The main advice for this Full Moon is to stay patient and take your emotions under control. You may face lots of injustice, manipulations, and lies, however, stay focused on your truth and your moral principles, don’t compromise your authenticity in order to fit in.

How to Work With the Full Moon Energy?

If we do not live in the rhythm of the lunar cycle, we most likely will feel mood swings and fatigue during the Full Moon time. Moreover, our emotional and even physical condition may deteriorate. Therefore, it is very important to learn to live in harmony with the Moon, especially when it’s at the peak of its activity.

Spend this Full Moon time period doing some internal work. Don’t let your energy run rampant with trying to make things happen. Time spent in silence, prayer, and meditation will be karmically rewarded. No matter what’s happening around you, stay calm, grounded, and centered.

For harmonizing the influence of the Moon on our lives, we can perform Moon practices and adjust our lifestyle to the Moon’s vibrations.

Quick Tips For the Full Thunder Moon 2021

In order to balance the Full Thunder Moon 2021 period’s influence on your life, try to keep in mind the following tips:

Do not start new cases and projects during this period.
Do not make important life-changing decisions.
Do not sign contracts, hold meetings with partners, or start a new business during this time. It is better to postpone all these things to another day. If this is not possible, be extremely careful.
A full moon is a special day when the maximum concentration of energy is reached, and the moon is visible in the sky at its full power. Therefore, during the Full Moon, when emotions are on the verge of getting out of control, it is recommended to devote yourself to spiritual practices.
During the Full Moon, try not to do any intense physical activity.
It is not recommended to perform operations during the full moon, as there is a high probability of their unfavorable outcome (severe bleeding may occur).
Be extremely careful on the roads while driving during the Full Moon. Make sure you concentrate on driving.
The full moon is a great time for fasting and cleansing.
It is recommended to do charity work on this day. For example, feed the homeless or donate something to the orphanage. Any help will be favorable. However, it is not recommended to donate money on this day.
Stay connected with nature: take a walk in the forest or at the beach, lie down on the ground, talk to the trees, hug them, etc.
Wear white clothes and pearls to pay your homage to the Moon.
Cooking for your family and friends will help to activate and balance the Moon energy.

The full moon in Uttarashadha Nakshatra is a favorable time for:

Art;
Wearing new clothes and jewelry;
Healing from illness;
Planting plants;
Installation of altars;
Spiritual ceremonies;
Studying of the Vedas;
Improving the home environment;
Tantra.

Spiritual Practices For the Full Thunder Moon 2021

#1: Chanting Ganesh Mantra

The symbol of Uttarashadha is an elephant tusk. The Elephant’s tusk associates this lunar mansion with the Hindu God Ganesh. Lord Ganesh is the one-tusked elephant-headed god who is invoked to bless new beginnings and is prayed to remove obstacles from one’s path or endeavor. Therefore, chanting the Ganesh mantra during this full moon will help you to remove any obstacles from your path to success and abundance.

Chant the mantra 108 times.

#2: Filling Up With Lunar Energy

This practice is especially recommended for those who have a bad relationship with their mothers or elderly women, and also for those who have mood swings.

Instructions:

Place a glass of clean water on the windowsill (or next to the window) so that the moonlight reflects in it. Leave it there for the night.
In the morning, drink that Moon water on an empty stomach. Tell your gratitude to the Moon. Chant the Moon mantra: OM CHANDRAYA NAMAHA (108 times).

#3: Full Moon Mantra Chanting For Attracting Abundance

On a Full Moon, go outside (backyard or patio), stretch your hands up to the Moon. When looking at the Full Moon, set your intention to attract abundance into your life and repeat the following mantra for 12 minutes: OM SHRAAM SHREEM SHRAUM SAH CHANDRAMASE NAMAHA

The Bottom Line

The retrograde motion of Saturn makes this full moon a depressive and emotional period. Stay in touch with your feelings. Be patient with yourself and with others. Take every obstacle with gratitude for teaching you an important lesson. Remember that we are personally responsible for our own karma. By focusing on your truthfulness and spiritual principles you will lay a firm foundation for your good karma and positive changes in life.
