Did you know? Beloved writer of The Hobbit and LOTR J.R.R Tolkien had a great belief in guardian angels and prayed a lot especially in times of anxiety. Tolkien reports being comforted when worrying about his son who was in service in the R
.A.F that he had a glimpse of 'heaven on Earth'. Tolkien said in this vision a divine light source connected all human beings to God, and each soul had their own guardian angel, which was 'God's very attention itself, Personalized'. Tolkien's son came home safely and as we know his stories went on to provide comfort and joy to millions of readers!

Feel your aura
Tip for feeling and healing your aura: do a 20 minute meditation in which you focus on the light of the divine and the love of mother earth wrapping around you and through your seven chakra points. Feel yourself radiate with it and let it
go through you in waves... your hands may start to tingle - this is good! When you feel sufficiently energized and relaxed open your eyes and rub your hands together for about a minute. Now pull your two hands apart and draw them slowly together - you should feel a resistance of energy like a force and this is where your aura begins. Rub them again and run over body feeling where the aura of your body. Peace and light x x x
"You must let go, you must be willing to let go, then the miracle can happen. You must be aware of yourself as you are, simply, constantly and directly, with all your ugliness, your cheerfulness, your brutality, joy and suffering. As you become aware you will see a miracle happening that you would never have suspected, a miracle that is truth, that transforms, that liberates." - Jiddu Krishnamurti
