Buddhism Mantras

When I was trying to figure myself out I was Christian, Buddhism and Wicca I used to practice a few mantras myself. I know two people who practice meditation and one who considers himself in the Buddhism religion so I will write down a few mantras and tell you how to use them. Usually people in this religion practice on Buddhist Prayer Beads in which it contains 108 beads and are known as Mala Beads. They also are used in the Hindu religion which I will discuss in another posting. The buddhism belief is that people have 108 afflications that is why there is 108 beads, Some of the Mantras are: Om Mani Padme Hum White Tara Mantra: White Tara means long life and with a particular person in min. Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Mama Ayuḥ Punya Jñānā Puṣtiṃ Kuru Svāhā For the Medicine Buddha: tadyathā:) oṃ bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye mahābhaiṣajye bhaiṣajyarāje samudgate svāhā. Sabbe satta sukhi hontu means may all be well and happy Om shanti shanti shanti means peace Avalokitesvara mantra Oṁ Mani Padme Hūṁ / Om Mani Padme Hum The lord who looks down with Compassion I hope you enjoyed it. You can find other Mantras at the site that I got these from: http://www.wildmind.org

Just need to be!!! Just need to be heard

One thing that I like about this blog is that I can be myself and I dont have to worry about anything. My day wasnt as good as I wanted it to be. It started out good but by this afternoon my depression was getting really bad and then mom screamed at me in the car. I am an adult but at times I feel like she treats me like I am five and doesnt respect my choice to be a witch, that I see ghosts and hear them ( she believes me but doesnt take me seriously) and I have to pretend that I am something that I am not. My fiance came to see me which helped a lot. At least around my fiance I can be me, pretty much the only person I feel that I can be. My family does love me but sometimes on their terms and it hurts a lot. I think part of the reason is that I do have an addiction and the stress of all of this interferes with my process to get better and I dont know what to do. I hope that somebody will help me through this with some suggestions. Thank you for listening.

Guardian Angels

Good day everybody! Even though I am not religious anymore I do still believe in Guardian Angels, Spirit Guides etc. To me is somebody who passed away and came back as somebody to watch over us especially when we need advice, a comforting hand etc they are also your consiounce so the next time that you hear that little voice I believe strongly that that is your Guardian Angel, spirit guides etc. and in my view you should always listen to them. I believe that in a previous posting and currect me if I am wrong that I gave you an excercise on how to contact them. Every day before I start out my day I talk to them as if they are just one of my friends, I dont say the prayer that I was taught when I was a child since I believe that they listen better if they know it is coming from your heart, that is what I try to do when I pray to my deities. I watched so many shows especially on "Unsolved Mysteries" about people who survived extraordinary odds due to a higher being and I also read "90 Minutes in Heaven" which I strongly suggest you read to. It isnt overly religious. I have set a schedule for myself for the topics for this week so please keep checking back and see what I got for tommorow.

Helping others

Since I was little my mom used to say that I would take care of others before myself, that I had a huge heart. Due to personal reasons I gave up doing this publicly until without trying a friend of mine made me see that I have to get back into it and he/she doesnt even know it. I used to be in Amnestry International and Amnestry.ca for years and some of the people that I signed petitions for because of various reasons was actually realeased from jail or justice got brought to them. I am not saying that I am the cause of this happening but it does feel good to know that I was just one vote for that. It is a program that helps victims who are in jail for no reason, people who are tortured, people in 3rd world countries and I just signed a petition of this lady who was actually not allowed to murn her son who got murdered. Makes you really wondor how lucky we are to have the freedom to do almost anything we like. Next to that I do give a present for needy families for what we call the Salvation Army Tree each Christmas/Holiday. You might say I cant do that, I cant afford that but the next time you see a homeless person even a quarter, dime, nickel, penny means so much. If there is a container for a certain organization give something. Even a smile goes a long way for a person who is having a really bad day or a prayer. Or volunteer one hour to a service that really needs it. Please keep this in mind.

Tribute to Princess Diana

Ever since I can remember I was always fascinated by the royal family and it all started with Princess Diana. She seemed so down to earth with real problems and she always reached out to everyday people. I guess that what made me feel drawn to her. When I heard about her death I was in church and it devasted me. She was born on July 1, 1961 and died August 31, 1997 in a tragic car crash in a tunnell in Paris France. Her boyfriend Dodi and the chauffer Henri Paul also died. When she was old enough to work she was a nanny until she got married to Prince Charles on July 29, 1981 and her and Charles had two sons William and Harry. Through her life as a princess she was hounded by the press and battled depression and bulimia and once tried to committ suicide. She volunteered for hospitals, landmines, Aids, Red Cross, and she helped the poor whenever she could. "In 1995 Diana is awarded the Prize for Humanity by the Society for Brain Research in New York". In 1996 she also recieved a gold medal for her work for humanity. This was the same year that her and Prince Charles got divorced. She lost her title of Her Royal Highness but kept the title of Princess Diana. During her funeral Elton John sang Candle In The Wind in memory of her. RIP Princess Diana
