Violet Flame for Improving Relationships

Violet Flame for Improving Relationships

We can use the violet flame to help take the rough edges off difficult relationships and harmonise our interactions with others.

Use the following exercise to focus the energy of the violet flame into any relationship you wish to improve. If visualisation is difficult for you, just think about the words of the affirmations as you say them.

Before starting this exercise, you need to find a place where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably in a straight chair, with your spine and head erect, legs and arms uncrossed and feet flat on the floor. Rest your hands on your upper legs, with palms facing upwards.
STEP 1    Think of a relationship that you wish to improve.

STEP 2    Go within and consciously draw all your attention and energy to   the point of your heart. You may want to place your hand over your heart to help you focus your attention there.

STEP 3    Breathe deeply several times until you feel calm and centered.

STEP 4    Say the following prayer out loud.

By the power of the light and love within my heart,
I send forth Violet Flame to the heart of:

_________________________________________
(Name of person to whom you are sending forgiveness)

I ask that the Violet Flame of forgiveness also be delivered by angels to everyone I have ever wronged and to everyone who has ever wronged me.

STEP 5   Concentrate on the image of the Violet Flame. Close your eyes and see this image in your mind.

STEP 6   Now see the violet flame surrounding and interpenetrating your heart.

STEP 7    Next, visualize sending the violet flame from your heart to the heart of the person with whom you are seeking resolution.

STEP 8    See this violet flame expand until you and this person are sealed in an ovoid of pulsating violet flame.

STEP 9   Continue your visualisation while giving the following affirmations for about five minutes. Speak them out loud, rhythmically and energetically.

I am loving, lovable and loved.
I accept others for who they are and who they are not.
I joyously forgive others and myself and I set myself free from the past.    I am at peace.
I love and accept myself exactly as I am now.
I attract loving relationships into my life.
I love.  I am love.
I respect and care about others.
I am grateful for the people in my life.
I deserve love in my life.
I love everything about myself.

STEP 10   Say the following prayer out loud.

"I am grateful, O God, for the release of light into this relationship. I ask that the action of the violet flame be expanded for the resolution of discord among all people on earth. Fill every heart with peace and mercy. Please protect me and all those serving the light. Let my prayers and affirmations be fulfilled according to your holy will."

Observe the results:

1) The next time you see the person you've been praying about, notice any changes in your relationship.
2) Continue doing this exercise as long as needed to improve the relationship.

सनिग्ध...


On a heavy pouring day, amidst the thundering showers and cool wind blowing in my face, a familiar aroma of noodles pulled me towards it to indulge into the amazing comfort of childhood. So i rushed to my kitchen and put a pot to boil my favourite masala noodles. While I added yellow powdery goodness to the bubbling water, a familiar aroma swept me back to day I first had them. I was six, I had pestered my grandmother to buy me a packet. She finally gave into and made me my first bowl of noodles. Yummy! It seemed so fascinating that such goodness could be made instantly. But alas! The instant goodness dint last for more than a few minutes coz i gulped it down at lightening speed leaving me unsatisfied and wanting more! I was asked to be content with what I received and   I thanked my silver haired superstar who then taught me the importance of gratitude along with a lesson which I would learn 16 years after.
This simple memory was now playing like a feature film in my head with a clear message running in bold. Instant gratification does not have a lasting feeling! We ought to enjoy life moment by moment; cherishing every second. Life at times teaches you profound lessons suddenly out of the blue! Who thought instant noodles would bring such clarity.
Memories are hazy, future is hazy...what is clear is now,this very moment.
So with this thought I sit down with my bowl of new found wisdom devouring it strand by strand slurping the masalas of present hoping that this moment will become a hazy memory to bring clarity to a present which awaits me!
"Memories are treasures buried deep in our hearts, holding a different value at different times"

Such is life..unfolding wisdom now and forever! ☺

Aae mere humsafar....


After a simple lunch, she gets a call from her daughter asking about how her day is going the Mrs in a flowery gown gets back to arranging utensils on the rack. "Oh meri soniyo, meri jaaneman, pani le aa" calls out the Mr in his shaky voice. The Mrs fills a glass of water and hands it out to the toothless pepper haired gentleman. The Mr then walks with the support of his walking stick and wipes the water trail from the kitchen to bedroom left by the Mrs. Old age has made her hands wrinkled and shaky. In the meanwhile the Mrs drinks out of the same glass. She looks at her better half with a twinkle in her eye and recalls him telling her "Tere haath se toh zeher bhi mitha lage..yeh toh fir bhi pani hai". Nodding at the cheesy memory she settles down on the bed. The Mr. then looks into her eyes and pecks her on the forehead. Today on their 60th anniversary, I love you seems to be very small. Silence is enough to decipher every emotion. It is time for their nap. They lie down and reminisce their life from the time they met for the first time. It was love before first sight. Their life was no less than a rollercoaster ride. A lot of ups and equally deep lows, yet they stayed strong. As the years passed by, they started their own family and spent time nurturing their daughter who was now passing those values to her children. Looking back at their life had spread a smile of contentment on their face. Holding hands in their pinky promise gesture, they looked into each others eyes. And the moment froze there. They rose up from their bed to look down upon their lifeless bodies still gazing lovingly at each other. They remembered their vow....we stay man and wife in life and afterlife.
In the distance, a song played....
Ae mere humsafar ae meri jaan-e-ja...
meri manzil hai tu tu hi mera jahaan
ae mere humsafar ae meri jaan-e-ja..
ban gaye aaj ham do badan ek jaan
ae mere humsafar ae meri jaan-e-ja

Yun hota toh kya hota






So far yet so near,
You knew for me you were most dear,
I walk with my feet adorned with sears,
Alone in this world full of fears,
Why did you leave me behind in tears,
Living with hopes that you are waiting for me where there is light,
Crying myself to sleep with dreams to meet you in the darkest night.
As the dawn breaks, upon my soul shines a revelation so bright,
You left me to live in this world without fright,
Your love for me has always been setting things right even when you are out of sight! ❤️❤️❤️
