Most people who are into spiritualism may have heard of this word. Loosely translated, it is similar to Karma, but not the same.
Karma is what you have built through many life times on Earth.
If you do good deeds, you create good Karma that eventually comes back to you; hence, the saying "What goes around, comes around."
Kismet refers to your present incarnation on Earth, this very lifetime that you are experiencing.
Kismet is predetermined - those lessons you have come to learn. Where logic fails, Karma and Kismet can easily explain things.
Kismet is a powerful concept. It encompasses the attitude that some things in life are preordained and must be accepted as God's will. An example of Kismet may be an unfortunate thing happening to a loved one, or a very good thing.
If you won the lottery, that was your Kismet. You had nothing to do with it.
If you got hit by a bus and ended up in a wheel chair, that was your Kismet.
Hence, the following statement that is accepted by all mystics regardless of what religion they follow:
"All things (good or bad) come from God."
If you could only begin to understand this simple statement, it will change your life in a profound way.
When you accept God's will, those insurmountable obstacles don't seem so insurmountable anymore. You say, "It's God's will," and do the best you can without rebelling against God and questioning his wisdom.
He is all knowing.

Wicca and Witches
Wicca is an old religion, older than Christianity. Its practitioners are witches.
If you are imagining a old hag riding a broom, stop right there.
Witches are not bad people who offer poisoned apples to princesses.
Witches respect Mother Nature and align most of their ceremonies around her cycles. Some are solitary, others belong to a coven (group).
Witches are not evil. The do not worship the devil.

Who to invoke?
You do not have to belong to a certain religious background to invoke an archetype. For example, you do not have be a Nordic person to invoke Thor, the Norse God of Thunder. Thor or any other archetype or a saint will help anyone who requests their help. Archetypes and saints do not discriminate.
Call Aphrodite for affairs of the heart and your love life.
Call Etem Dede for a speedy recovery of lost items.
Call St. Jude for "hopeless" situations.
Call St. Francis of Assisi for help with animal/pet problems (when they need healing or they need to behave better.)
There are many, many archetypes and saints you can call on. Do a Google search. Choose one that applies to your situation, or a name that resonates with you.
Calling for an archetype or a saint for help does not mean you are not calling GOD for help. First and always ask God for help. He might direct you to work with an archetype for the kind of thing you need help with. Think of archetypes and saints as "specialized helpers from the other side."
An archetype, being a powerful force, can help thousands of people at the same time. They are on a different dimension; their time and space is not linear as ours, so do not think that you have to take a number when calling upon one. The archetype can help everyone at the same time.

How to invoke an archetype
Invoking an archetype is very similar to praying. Here is an example:
Oh Thor, the Norse God of Thunder
I invoke you to help me with ........................(fill in the blank)
Since Thor is a patron of Law & Justice, and the defender of the "working class", you would invoke Thor for things to do with Law, Justice, and troubles at work. You would not invoke Thor to help you with your love life; for that you would invoke Aphrodite.
Tried and true.

Thor - Norse God of Thunder
Most people think of Thor as the character in Marvel's popular movies, "The Avengers" and "The Dark World", etc.
But, there is a lot more to THOR than people realize.
Thor is the patron of Law and Justice and defender of the "working class" !!!
If you find yourself being unjustly treated in the workplace, invoke Thor to help you, act on your behalf, protect you from those who are stepping on you, or bullying you.
I wish more people would ask for Thor's help than think of him only as a super hero in a movie.
Invoke him and let him be your defender.
Tried and true.

Grounding yourself
It is very beneficial for your mental and spiritual health to ground yourself once a day.
How to ground yourself:
1. Sit in comfortable position keeping your spine straight and your feet bottoms touching the ground.
2. Close your eyes and imagine a pipe going down from your root chakra to the centre of the Earth.
3. Take a deep breath and exhale. Do it a few times to calm yourself.
4. Imagine all your worries, anxieties, anger and whatever negative feelings you have flushing down through the pipe.
5. Everything you have just flushed will be absorbed by Mother Earth.
6. Take a few more calming breaths and enjoy the serenity.
7. When you are ready, open your eyes and proceed with your day.
Grounding yourself once or twice a day is sufficient. Grounding yourself upon rising each day is ideal.

Your sanctuary
Your home is your sanctuary, your very private place to hole up and feel safe, just like your mother's womb. Preserve the sanctity of your home by inviting only those people who are pure of heart and deserve to enter this special place. Keep it clean, regularly smudge it to get rid of negative energies and be mindful of the kind of art you display.
Do not keep dead plants or dried flowers in your home.
If you have pets, make sure their favorite spots and dishes are cleaned regularly.
If you pet uses your backyard for his business, make sure you pick it up immediately.
Buy fresh flowers, display joyful/peaceful art, and most importantly bless your home with love and white light.

Make good Karma
Never give up the chance to make some good Karma. You never know when it will come to your aid. Every action we take is recorded by the angel assigned to us. If you have a good credit with your Karma department, it will always come to your aid.
Power of words
Words have the power to encourage us, give us hope, keep us going, show us the right way, help us get out of a rut, or they can demoralize us, crush us, destroy us.
Choose your words carefully.
It will make a huge difference to the person you are speaking to.

Random Acts of Kindness
They have a rippling effect. You can start one just by doing something nice for someone out of the blue. It will make you and the person who received your kindness feel good and put a smile on their face.
Instant Energizer
When you need a
boost, try this trick: Using your index finger,
firmly press the indentation just above the center of your upper lip for 7
seconds. Release, then repeat twice. Pressing this point increases blood flow to the brain, delivering a jolt of
energy.
Acupressure is similar to acupuncture in that both use pressure points, but where acupuncture uses needles to stimulate the points acupressure uses fingers to apply pressure.

Slavery
The true believers of God are those people who lend a helping hand to the poor and destitute, to orphans, to travellers and free slaves.
The Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 177
Free slaves? Do we have slaves today?
Yes, we do.
I recently read an article that said slavery is alive and well in this day and age. Apparently, there is a big problem wi in the tomato industry where slave labour is used. These are people who come to the country illegally and are forced to work for food and water only. There are also a lot of women who are hired and brought to the country as nannies, but once they get here their passports are taken away and they are forced into prostitution with the threat of killing their families back home if they try to escape......the stories go on.
Let us all think about how lucky we are that we are free. Every human being born in this day and age is born free. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people who are still into slavery.
Let us say a prayer that God help all those people who are caught in slavery today. May God help them out of the horrible situation they are in and once again be free people. Amen.

Send Light
If there are people around you who are giving you a hard time and influencing you in a negative way, the best way to deal with them is to send them light.
Imagine rays of light coming from God and hitting them like the rays of the sun from above.
Do this with good feelings, not with anger or frustration and you will see that their attitude will change. Do it as often as you can and keep doing it to maintain their "better and improved attitude". If you stop, they might revert back to their old ways.

The real reason for the baby booms
Most people think that there was a baby boom after the Second World War, because all the soldiers came home and couples had babies again.
There was a much smaller baby boom after the First World War, and a huge one after the Second WW.
Did you ever wonder why?
Mystics have a different explanation for the baby booms then just husband coming back home to their wives and making babies.
Many people died in these wars, 60 million in the Second World War.
Most of those who died were young soldiers whose lives were cut short in an untimely manner. They rushed back to be reborn to resume their lives on Earth, albeit in a different incarnation.
That is the real reason for the baby booms.
If you are mystic or a spiritual person, this makes a lot of sense then simple demographics.

Prayer is...longing of the soul
Prayer is not asking. It is longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Tired?
Question: What to do when you are tired at the end of a long day?
Answer: Give yourself a quick ear rub.
Researchers say taking 1 minute to firmly massage each ear (from the top down to the lobe) can help you shift into a serene. Activating acupressure points in the outer ear prompts the formation of relaxing alpha brain waves.

Astrology
The basis of Astrology, in
extremely simple terms, is that a planet's energy influences matters here on
Earth and that the different planets have energies that correspond with various
Deities. As a planet moves through its normal orbit, its energy
changes and those changes are transmitted to us here on Earth.
An interesting fact: The Zodiac changes every two minutes, so even twins born within minutes of each other have different birth charts.

On manifesting your dreams and desires
I match my thoughts to what
I want.
Act as if what you intend to manifest in life is already a reality. Eliminate thoughts of conditions, limitations, or the possibility of it not manifesting. If left undisturbed in your mind and in the mind of intention simultaneously, it will germinate in the physical world.

Power of Your Breath
It is important to say your prayers or affirmations out loud. You don't need to shout them out, but even as a whisper the words charged with your breath become far more powerful than if you say them silently, in your heart.
Tapping
Tapping
along to a rhythm helps synchronize the two sides of your brain, turning it
into one big problem-solving machine. Keeping a beat improves your
attention span, logic, comprehension and even your ability to crunch
numbers. Math and music are so closely related that students who
tap their feet while taking math tests get higher scores.
And most importantly, tapping helps with anxiety. Using the fingertips of your
right hand, tap firmly 10 times along the pinky side of your left hand.
Try these tapping tips and pass the word on to your friends and family. We should all be tapping our way to a better life.
Blessings to all!
