Let it Go

It really does take a while to wrap your mind around a certain belief or a way of thinking. But once you accept it, things in life tend to flow a bit easier.

Folks are in your life for a reason or a season. If you can't think of one good reason why someone is in your life then it's time to cut them loose. In the last 6 yrs or so I have taken a good look at the folks in my life. Some I did call friends, but alas I was mistaken.

I have done my best to be as positive as possible. Learn from whatever life lesson is crossing my path if possible. Sure, I have bad days and bad experiences. But to dwell on them and to wish bad upon others is a waste of energy. Energy that I do not have to waste.

The following piece if from the minister T.D. Jakes. He speaks alot of truth in this piece. I don't care if you are Pagan/Christian/Druid whatever path you may follow, we all have to learn to let go at some point. Or we will stagnate and become bitter.

Let it Go - TD Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

Fascinating world of Wicca

I haven't posted in awhile. But I rec'd a really good post from my sister, Satori and I had to pass it on.

Bewitching World of Wicca Mumbai:
Twentysix-year- old Sangeeta Krishnan is a part time editor of a scientific firm by profession but a wiccan by choice. She is as adept at using the computer as she is at using the crystal ball, wand, spells and magical charms for her wicca workshops. "I have been into this as long as I can remember. I used to have a lot of mystical experiences in my school days," says Krishnan, who has been practicing wicca for the last 10 years.
Rafique Pirani is a Math professor and a follower of wicca. "I employ minimal use of the magical tools. Instead I use angel and energy healing," he says. Pirani was inclined towards occult since his childhood and he finally took the plunge 15 years back and today is an expert in this field. People come to him with various issues -- health, prosperity or sheer peace of mind.

Welcome the new age wiccans and witches. They have jobs but also practice magic, albeit to spread positivity and goodness. For them, magic is not to harm but to benefit. Wicca, a nature based neo pagan religion is making its presence across the world and Mumbai is not untouched either. Swati Prakash, a self-confessed wiccan has been following wicca for the last six to seven years. Swati refers to magic as magick (spelt with a k). "The k here is to differentiate it from ordinary sleigh of hand or stage magic which is also called magic but is not real magic." She refuses to categorise magic into black or white. To her, magic involves creating an outer change through a change in one's inner consciousness. Nandini Hate-Mane, who is still learning more about wicca, incorporates Reiki and Aromatherapy along with magic depending upon the client's need. People approach them, having learnt about their healing powers, by word of mouth. The wiccans are healers and treat every individual by channelising their positive energies and the latent power hidden within. The wiccan community comes together when the planetary positions are rightly aligned and energise their power and spread positive vibes for the world around. While the community is doing its bit for the betterment of people's lives, many look upon it with scepticism.
While Krishnan's family supports her wiccan practices, she counters strange reactions too. "People find it hard to digest when I say I am a witch."
