2018: Spiritual Restoration- Altars & U

Greetings Fellow Lightbeings,

How's your October treatin' ya?  We hope peaceful!   Yes, we know its been overwhleming, hectic and chaotic at times.  There are many that are experiencing heavy, negative energies these past few months, and we're no exception!

Is there any relief? Are there any solutions? 

Only time can heal and bring about a change in order for us to deal with the strifes & struggles, the ups and downs of living here on this planet earth.

Some say it helps to pray & meditate.  We have found benefits in both formats. Its is an essential key in order to navigate through life and have balance of mind, body & soul.

Our mission at nSeyah is to embrace having a better life. Which brings us to our blog title today. 

How do you restore positive energy that has been struck with negative people, places & things?  

How do you replenish your being after dealing with heavy news, saddness, depressing events, argumentative people, hostility and hurt?

There is no sure fire way of preventing this dilema from our lives. Some feel that it is inevitable that we must face challenges everyday.

We understand this, yet we embrace that we must find balance and restoration to improve our mind, body & spirit. 

Let's take a look at the healing modality called an altar.


What's an altar?  

Wikipedia's definition  for the word altar,  is a structure upon offerings are made for religious purposes.  Altars are found at temples, shrines, religious places, etc.  

Although, not everyone is religious, spirituality allows for the understanding that we can find peace in our own space,  and by having an altar we can also help  to restore balance back into our lives. What do you think?

Note, altars are not simply used soley for religious purposes, there are many people who embrace having and using an altar. 

Altars have been utilized for many of years, since the beginning of time monks, priests, etc. have set up a space in which altars  have been used  in conjunction with prayer & meditation to bring peace and restore positive energy.

Another definition defined by wikipedia for an altar is in which it can be a personal place/sacred space, area where items, tools, rituals, and symbols are place to help us with all those daily issues. 


We found a great example of a basic altar set-up. Take a look above & view one of many, different types and ways to set up an altar.  

Here's a small list of items that can placed on an altar:

• Plants, flowers
• Candles
• Crystals
• Totem/Power Animal symbols
• Aromatherapy tools
• Incense
• Pictures
• Herbal items
• Chalices
• Cauldrons
• Drums, wands, sticks, swords/knives, etc. 

Along with the items, we are given helpful tips to know concerning elements that benefit your altar and its energy. What are elements?

Elements consist of:
Earth
Wind/Air
Fire and
Water
(the fifth element is known as Aether, that we may discuss later!)

When creating a space for an altar those items and the elements placed can assist in our equilibrium  & restoration as well. 

Note:
The north direction  represents earth
The east direction represents air
The south direction represents fire &
The west direction represents water

We're excited to embrace and learn more about this concept and  please in bringing this information to you.  Please note that there is no one-way, or set in stone method to create your altar,  we have seen huge altars, small altars and even traveling altars all designed by beings who simply want to connect & restore.  Simply go with your vibe, energy as to what reasonates with you...and then just do it!

We hope you gain some insight  as to using an altar and know our perspective is only to be informative!

As October continues, find enlightenment by having a sacred space, smudge, clear and set up a desirable altar to help bring peace, happiness & restoration.

Join us later, when we will spotlight ancestors and altars co-existing to bring further positiivty as well.

Until next time.


of light & love,

Fall '18: Reflect & Review...You Are the Temple!

Hello Fellow Lightbeings!

Its almost that time again.....to fall back and get an extra hour of Zzzzzzzzzzzz! lol!

We hope your Full Moon in August was sensational!  Ours was very well spent reflecting, reviewing and yes, RELEASING all that stuff that is not longer serving us. What's your release?

As we move towards fall and then the colder months.  Remember to prep and get those sacred items to keep you spiritually uplifted.  The winter months will be the time you utilize them the most!

Have you found some time to be reflective and relax?  Yes, we know its hard when you're juggling daily events, tending to action items, working, surviving and navigating your task.  But it is important that as the sunrise we meditate and center our being towards enlightenment.

And as the sunset, we also ground and meditate self and give thanks for your daily goals.  There is a quick gratitude trick we do during the sunset each evening.

As we enter our home, we first remove the day's negativity from our being by either taking a soaking, warm bath or a bath salt shower to remove the toxins, and negative vibes we accumulate from the day.  We found that it very important to do this before we go on in our homes to cook, clean, study or rest.  By doing this it helps to remove the tension and stress we have had.

Next after the shower or the bath to cleanse, we find the appropriate color candle and light it for peace & serenity.  Take a few minutes to give thanks, console your heart, mind & body for the day's work you've accomplished.

We found that just by spending 10-15 minutes in meditation it came make a world of difference in how we treat our family and relax for the evening.

Smudging with palo santo or lighting your favorite HEM incense to inspire your positive thoughts can also be done while meditating.

The next thing we have found to do, just as the sun is about to set, we sit in front of our window, towards the sun rays and SMILE!

Yes, smile!

I know it sounds funny, but we have been doing this performance for a few years now and the results have made us more harmonious, gracious, serene, tranquil and humble. Something about smiling which gives a positive vibe and thankfulness to our Creator that we are blessed to do the things we do from the day.

So, as you conclude - don't forget this evening to  reflect & review and honor your temple by giving gratitude and SMILE!

light & love,
