A Beginners Guide to Chakras Most people have probably heard of the term "chakra" or "chakras" but many wonder what they really refer to. As a practising astrologer and tarot reader, as well as someone interested in alternative healing, I have found plenty of reasons to acquaint myself with this energy system. Over the years I have collected quite a few books and other items that relate to the chakras in one way or another. I have also learned how to meditate on the chakras to balance them. Where does the chakra philosophy come from? The Eastern concept of chakras comes from Indian culture, specifically from Hindu philosophy. The system of chakras is now used widely in the West alternative healing and spiritual practices and has become popular not least because of its accessibility for both mediation and colour healing applications. The chakras are also at the root of the human aura, a magnetic field that stands outside the visible body. How many Chakras are involved and which body areas do they relate to?
Rock Types "Colour: Grey or pink but with dark streaks and layers. Texture: Medium- to coarse grained. Characterized by discontinuous, altering light and dark layers, the former usually having a coarsely granular texture while the latter, which often contains mica, may be foliated. Structure: In addition to the gneissose texture described above, gneisses tend to be banded on a large scale with layers and streaks of darker and lighter coloured gneiss. Mineralogy: Feldspar is abundant and, together with quartz, forms the granular, lighter coloured layers. Field relations: At the highest grades of metamorphism rocks may approach melting temperature when they are able to recrystallize freely and so produce the textures characteristic of gneisses.

Gemstone Dictionary Minerals and Gems More than 4,000 naturally occurring minerals—inorganic solids that have a characteristic chemical composition and specific crystal structure—have been found on Earth. They are formed of simple molecules or individual elements arranged in repeating chains, sheets, or three-dimensional arrays. Minerals are typically formed when molten rock, or magma, cools, or by separating out of mineral-rich water, such as that in underground caverns. Rocks themselves are made of clusters or mixtures of minerals, and minerals and rocks affect landform development and form natural resources such as gold, tin, iron, marble, and granite. Silicates—including quartz, mica, olivine, and precious minerals such as emeralds—are the most common class of minerals, as well as the major components of most rocks. Gemstones Many minerals form beautiful crystals, but the most prized of all are gemstones. Historically gems have been divided into precious and semiprecious classes.
Pagan Roots of the Trinity Doctrine - What does the Bible say? | BiblicalUnitarian.com (© Ed Torrence 2002) The Trinity doctrine is not unique to, nor original with, Christianity. It has deep Pagan roots, dating back to at least two centuries BC, and has been prominent in many Eastern religions ever since. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church Councils (Western and Eastern churches) brought the Trinity doctrine into Christianity. The evolution of this doctrine within Christianity began with The Apostle’s Creed, progressed to the Nicene Creed, and finally culminated in the Athanasian Creed. The Apostle’s Creed which was not written by the Apostles at all, but by the RCC. The Nicene Creed established in 325 AD, was the next step. The Athanasian Creed espouses the Trinitarian concepts of Athanasius, a fourth century theologian. The Christian Church’s roots were originally from Judaism, which was, and still is, a monotheistic (One-God) religion. The Nicene and Athenian creeds are in direct denial of these scriptures as well as many others. [Used with permission.
