  <title>July 18th full moon blessing/cleansing</title>
  <author>oraclereader</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/10605.html</link>
  <description>&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am going to do another &lt;strong&gt;full moon cleansing/blessing ritual on the 18th of JULY 2008..&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last month brought such a great response (over 50 people who wanted some positive light) &amp;nbsp;that I have decided to continue on with this idea..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you would like some positive energy&lt;/strong&gt; sent your way please &lt;strong&gt;reply back&lt;/strong&gt; to this thread &lt;strong&gt;via a comment &lt;/strong&gt;and I assure you I will write your name down and focus my energy that night for you..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are also, &lt;strong&gt;more than welcome to join me in this ritual&lt;/strong&gt; this night &lt;strong&gt;by simultaneously joining in and doing your own ritual at home&lt;/strong&gt;.. (the invocation can be found on my LJ homepage if you wish to use it)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all need positive energy in our lives. =) BELIEVE IN KARMA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessed be friends.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

  <title>how do you get rid of someone elses energy?</title>
  <author>oraclereader</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/10058.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m not sure if&amp;nbsp;I am the only one&amp;nbsp;who experiences this.. maybe&amp;nbsp;because my&amp;nbsp;clairsentient ability is quite high, im not sure..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I am talking to someone and or consulting with them I can easilty tune in to what they are feeling and react according to it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m only asking because I had a person who I was reading for yesterday who was very very emotionally upset-&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the point of being angry and mad at her situation and just couldn&apos;t see the clairity that I was trying to offer her..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so hard for me to get rid of her energy link after the reading, that had to take a breather -literally- outside, to get in touch with natures natural positive energy and balance myself once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here is the&amp;nbsp;discussion question to which I am posting now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Q:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How do you as an empath get rido of the psychic link after the session is complete?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <author>oraclereader</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/9483.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;I asked to see my Guardian Angel the other night and this is what he looks like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Guardian Angel is a male.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is strong and powerful with broad sholders.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has brown middle length wavy hair and he come down to visit me when&amp;nbsp;I ask for protection&amp;nbsp;surrounded with an aura of bright white light.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He scoops me up in his arms (I feel the warmth and protection that surrounds him) and we shoot up nito the sky fast-flying.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He lets me feel free flying around with him and all my worries and doubts pass through my body as they get carried away by the wind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I am calm,&amp;nbsp;he gently me back to our meeting place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We bow to each other to show respect and part with positive unconditional love until we see each other again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is what my Guardian Angel looks like.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;my abilities are getting stronger as i tune in to my soul more deeply than before.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see things and feel things and hear things more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes it might be for a split second other times i sense my guides around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it is comforting to know that i am being protected and looked after.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>Review a book about Healing and the Law of Attraction</title>
  <author>carmelncal</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/8536.html</link>
  <description>I am working right now to promote a book,  Soul Discovery: 9 Principles for Revealing Your Sacred Gifts. Author Joan Marie invites people to “dance with their soul,” and changes lives as she awakens her readers to their true life’s purpose and their soul’s sacred gifts.&lt;br /&gt;Joan Marie is a very popular medium and has been a guest on numerous radio and television shows across the country, like the Whoopi Goldberg Show.  Whoopi Goldberg has even endorsed her book, saying “Sometimes, people are just born with &quot;it&quot;. They can hear your voice and be able to tell you all about yourself. Joan Marie seems to be able to tap into that thing that makes us all human. I&apos;ve been around her; I&apos;ve seen her do her thing”.  If you would like to learn more about heightening and developing your intuition and how Joan Marie utilizes the Law of Attraction, email me at chelseasterling@gmail.com to review the book on your blog.  After you review the book, you will receive a free teleseminar with Joan Marie and get an opportunity to get personal advice.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Have a great day!</description>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;Sometimes it is hard to brush off other peoples energies.&amp;nbsp; I find i get quite exhausted and tired after a while, and i guess that just means im sensitive in my clairsentient gift.&amp;nbsp; But to me the best way to clear this is through a form of meditation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will sit somewhere comfortable (anywhere that i am drawn to) and just listen.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes, i close my eyes and let my vision sense take over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am most comfortable and relaxed when i let my natural gift come through for me and because of it i have realised that is how i waken my soul to its fullest potential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:oracle.reading@yahoo.com.au&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;oracle.reading@yahoo.com.au&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <description>Hi All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just wanted to say hello to everyone in this community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a little about myself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a very long time, I&apos;ve been quite aware of&amp;nbsp;how &quot;different&quot; i was.&amp;nbsp; It was only at about high school that i started to accept and embrace my natural abilities of clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed more vivid images, words, and feelings related to people around me.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the validation from my friends (i had often just told them things and they would come back days or even weeks later saying what i said was correct) i started to nutrure my abilities at my own pace.&amp;nbsp; I learned cleansing techniques, healing teachinques and reading techniques, all which have fine tuned me to who i am present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not ashamed of my ability, and no one who possess some sort of connection to the spiritual realm&amp;nbsp;should either.&amp;nbsp; I embrace it and let it guide me to my rightful direction and purpose.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that is why I am here! The journey of fine tuning ones ability will never cease especially if it is something that i feel strongly about.&amp;nbsp; I joined this community so sthat i can better myself and also along the way better other peoples concerns as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been practicing my ability for about 7 years now and have slowly slowly been able to open up to my friends and family about my abilities.&amp;nbsp; I guess the reading that i do for them all though out the years have validated it all for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in a reading please, do not hesitate to contact me for more information: oracle.reading@yahoo.com.au&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;contact me if you feel that you are drawn to do so- that only means that we are ment to cross paths sometime in this lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;once again,&amp;nbsp; i am looking forward to hearing you comments and thoughts on topics that have been and will be posted within this community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Oraclereader&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <title>Eating disorder bloggers wanted for survey</title>
  <author>rachelr59</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/7639.html</link>
  <description>I am a current graduate student researching the social history of food-related disorders, inspired, in large part, from my own struggles with anorexia and bulimia.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m conducting an anonymous survey of bloggers who blog about eating disorders or eating disorder recovery in partnership with a clinical psychologist for joint research and publication purposes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m hoping our survey generates lots of responses so that our findings are well-rounded, inclusive and convincing.&amp;nbsp; The only two requirements are that you must have an active blog and that it must address, at least in part, your experiences with an eating disorder.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m hoping for responses from people of all ages and genders who are in all stages of recovery and who suffer from a diversity of eating disorders, from anorexia to binge eating disorder to ed-nos to orthorexia.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the scope of the study pertains to your own experiences, I invite you to participate by taking it.&amp;nbsp; More information and a survey link can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://the-f-word.org/blog/index.php/2008/03/23/eating-disordered-bloggers-wanted-for-survey/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; or http://the-f-word.org/blog/index.php/2008/03/23/eating-disordered-bloggers-wanted-for-survey/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rachel Richardson</description>

  <title>Intro to Sarah</title>
  <author>peacefulpenguin</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/7029.html</link>
  <description>Hi there. I recently switched over to livejournal in search of communities and I stumbled across this one, and you caught my eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life has actually been very well and gone smoothly. I don&apos;t take the good stuff for granted anymore and have begun to see that the rest of the world hasn&apos;t been as fortunate as I have so I do my best to share the good luck with others, be it some advice (I do believe part of my good life is my good attitude and good choices) or bring a little comfort, or any of the things that can make a life go more smoothly. I&apos;m hooked on the natural high people get when they do good and share interesting beliefs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Sarah</description>

  <title>Frustrated...but with what?</title>
  <author>haitchel</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/6899.html</link>
  <description>Hi there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m Haitchel, a nineteen year old female from the wonderful (!) United Kingdom. Currently (though this may change in the near future) a university student. Currently studying Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology. Currently single. Currently atheist (perhaps?). Currently frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;ve no idea what with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life&apos;s okay. No major, traumatic moments. A few personal issues (eating problems, mood disorders) and your average family nightmare on occasion. Mum&apos;s disabled. Dad&apos;s deaf. Brother&apos;s a dork. It&apos;s all fine. We&apos;re comfortable financially (well, as comfortable as a British university student can be right now; in general, our family&apos;s finance is okay) and I&apos;m in university. So far, so good. I&apos;ve a rough idea where I want to be after university, and what I want to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or so I thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just have this enormous sense of failure, of lack of fulfilment. Like...I&apos;m working for nothing. I&apos;m here for nothing. Either that or I&apos;m doing nothing (right here, right now) towards the life I want, because I have no idea of the life I want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no idea if I even exist (which, every time I think about it, draws up a hell of a lot of problems - it doesn&apos;t pay to have depression and whatnot when you&apos;re questioning your value and your worth in the universe. It kinda sucks, actually). And, going by that, I&apos;ve no idea whether there&apos;s any POINT in working towards anything, even if I had some idea of what I wanted to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, ignoring that for the minute. I can&apos;t very well prove the existence of life and its entirety. For now, I&apos;m just going to go on the idea that something does exist, there is some sort of external world, and we each just have our own, individual experience of it. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway. I think I want to teach. University-level, so I can do research and publish my ideas. But I also think I want to travel (it seems far easier for me to drop and run, because I&apos;m not one to usually face up to mistakes). I also think I want children, marriage, a husband. A stable house and a home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&apos;s problems with all three. The final two...they&apos;re as contradictory as anything. The first...I&apos;ve barely any idea what I would like to teach. I&apos;m at university, doing what I did think was where my heart belonged - Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy. But I&apos;ve quickly realised that Psychology is definitely not for me, and I&apos;m trying so hard to convince myself that the other two subjects are &lt;b&gt;rightrightright.&lt;/b&gt; I have a genuine interest in the both of them, but it&apos;s not being demonstrated - my lack of enthusiasm for the lectures and for the tutorials is surely showing, and I feel like someone else should have been given this university place, and that that person would have taken better care of it. A lot of the other students seem to know where they want to go in life, where they want to be. They&apos;re focused, dedicated. They&apos;ve the ability to put the work in and plod along even when there are days when it seems difficult. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to be like them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Begrudgingly. I&apos;d always hated the idea of plodding along. Going through the motions of everyday life when there could be something so much more better. But immediate gratification is not always the right sort of gratification; it&apos;s temporary, useless. Gets you nowhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps I have to &quot;plod along&quot;, but I think I need a goal first. And something that makes me feel like I&apos;m here for something, that I&apos;ve value in this world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m so unmotivated, so unsure of what I want, so pissed off with the way things currently are. I&apos;ve no idea if I&apos;m annoyed with society, because motivation appears to come easy (perhaps it doesn&apos;t?), or if I&apos;m pissed off with myself, for Not Being Able to follow society&apos;s basic idea of means and goals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m trying so hard to not take my (apparent) frustrations out on other things, physically, but it&apos;s sort of building up in my head and I know that I&apos;ll be ready to snap soon. And I know that I&apos;ll regret any decision that I&apos;ll make (the amount of times I&apos;ve almost quit university, I&apos;ve almost left town...). I just need to figure out what it is that&apos;s missing from my life - be it faith, a political stance, a philosophy - that makes me feel like there&apos;s no point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apologies for this ridiculously long post! It&apos;s all a mess and nothing makes sense! &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;</description>

  <title>Healing Through Art</title>
  <author>avaishya</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/6021.html</link>
  <description>I am compiling a book about the various methods women have used to heal from rape. If you drew, send your drawings. If you wrote, send me your poems, short stories, rants, etc. If you created music, send your lyrics or song sheets. If you played sports, explain why it gave you strength. This is to be a compilation not only of women&apos;s stories, but of how they expressed their feelings while they struggled to heal. It is to be an exploration of the artistic methods women use to cope with sexual trauma. Photographs, stories, essays, poems, songs, journal entries and any method that was used as a healing mechanism are welcomed submissions. I am not only looking for accounts or reiterations of rape experiences, but also the artistic expressions you produced as you were healing. If desired, submissions can be kept anonymous. All contributors will receive a copy of the published book. Email (avaishya@hotmail.com) for more details or with submissions. As well, I have created an lj community to support this project: the_r_word. Anyone interested in healing, art, advice, and support for rape survivors are encouraged to join! Thanks!</description>

  <title>Your help will make a difference</title>
  <author>skolov</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/4066.html</link>
  <description>First of all sorry if following is offtopic. Really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My name is Andrew Skolov and I&apos;m from Russia. I have a wife and alittle daughter. I&apos;ll write more about myself in my LJ (which I&apos;ve just started and I&apos;ll appreciate new friends greatly), so if anyone would like to know me better - check my blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason why I&apos;ve decided to turn to you, people, is a bit different. &lt;br /&gt;Last years I&apos;m becoming more and more concerned about rather sad changes in society. Sometime just before the New Year I had a conversation with a friend of mine. We were talking about modern world, about human&apos;s place in it, about relations between people. And my friend said that unfortunately relations between the people are not improving despite the lessons of history, general progress, improvement of communication means and everything else. Moreover, people are loosing trust in each other, people become suspicious. He said that helping others, especially strangers (independantly of their situation and nature), is often taken as &quot;being dum and naive&quot;, that human kind is becoming &quot;suspicious, evil and fraudulent&quot;, that people tend to exploit each other and are using for that most sacred sides and qualities of the human nature. We talked and discussed this subject till the morning.&lt;br /&gt;Such appeared and idea of my &quot;Funds For Fun&quot; project. It has two goals. Primarily I want to proove people who think similar to that friend of mine (who is just a great blocke, mind you) wrong. And secondly I hope to improve my own well-being and to make all kinds of nice things to my family, to my friends and to help those who are in need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;d really appreciate if you visit my site (its my first one BTW so please be indulgent), especially main and &quot;About&quot; pages and probably take part in the project. Also if you can publish link to that site everywere you can and to tell about my project to as many people as possible - that would be just great. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &quot;Funds For Fun&quot; site is located here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolov.front.ru/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.skolov.front.ru&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I &lt;b&gt;REALLY&lt;/b&gt; need your help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;cross-posted er... almost everywhere&lt;/i&gt;</description>

  <title>I have psychological issues.</title>
  <author>gabbylou2002</author>
  <link>https://humans-being.livejournal.com/3381.html</link>
  <description>My father abused me when I was a child. Sometimes he would hit me for reasons that did not require a beating. After my parents divorced, my mom took me to a child psychologist and they suspected I had been sexually abuse. I don&apos;t remember anything, but (if I was) I see it in my obsession with sexual violation and agressive sex with black men (men as dark as my father).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was made fun of during my school years for being different. They say people with ADD (which I was diagnosed as having) are highly creative and often see by others as weird.  I could be weird because of things that happen to me during my childhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I have a bad self-concept which gets in the way of living happily.  I am trying to get past all the hurt. Yet, I fantisize about being screwed by black men and live as though everyone has something against me. I often consider living my fantisies and living a loners life, but I know it&apos;s all wrong. That&apos;s not how a smart young woman should live.</description>

  <description>I need help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make a long story short... I just got out of a 3 year abusive relationship, which left me the single mother of one wonderful little boy, Aidan (he&apos;ll be 2 in November). Paying for diapers, groceries, etc. wasn&apos;t a problem while I was in the relationship, but for my own health I had to get out of that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, my problem is, I&apos;m working, but I can&apos;t afford diapers, food, warm clothes, or anything I need for my son. I can barely afford the gas money to get to work, on top of babysitting $ and food. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess what I&apos;m asking, and I&apos;m sorry if I&apos;m coming off sounding like a beggar... but if there is anyone out there who is better off than I am, if you could help me out in any way, I&apos;d be VERY thankful. I don&apos;t have much support from my family and I really don&apos;t have any friends who could help me out, most of them are younger than I am anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my last resort. If you could please help me, my email is plsmachic@excite.com, or I could email you if you comment with your email address. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, I&apos;m sorry for asking, I just don&apos;t know where else to turn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~* Laura *~</description>

  <description>The concept of this community is wonderful. I&apos;d like to share a little blurb from my last journal entry,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It dawned on me the other day that my wanting of meaning could be part of the root of my moments of depression. Its so meaningful and purposful to be &quot;wrong&quot; and &quot;bad&quot; . Perhaps I want that security of meaning more than I want happiness. I am going to &quot;war&quot; for the sake of the thrill of a battle&apos;s false purpose. I want to release this and exist&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my pain means nothing, it has no implications on myself, or anyone, it is a moment,  It simply is. And my estactic happiness is meaningless, it doesn&apos;t better me, it also just is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I clung to my feelings of unworthness becuase the freedom of being changing and flowing is a hard concept to swallow, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I relieze that pain is just a moment and not an indication of some profound message, my anger dissolves.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to be able to accept all of myself, my moments of lacking in acceptance, my anger, my pain, my fear, all of it, I want to lay myself, all my desire down to truly see things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to dissolve all the lies or rather walls within myself that I created out of fear and supposed need for protection. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am slowly getting there.</description>
