New Age Gifts and the call of Spirituality

The terms "New Age" and "Metaphysical" are confusing. Indeed, their meanings vary from person to person. Generally speaking, New Age has a connotation of eclectic spirituality, embracing aspects of many ancient traditions and religions as well as modern rituals and beliefs about, for example, the importance of environmental stewardship. The New Age followers think that it is time to teach unconditional Love and Power. Love and Power of God, of your Family of Light: Angels, Spirit Guides (by whatever name or perception you have), and unconditional Love and Power of your Higher Selves. It is time to understand that the Higher Self has God Realization and complete energetic and conscious connection with its incarnations on the Earth and beyond, and is in complete control of who you interact with, both consciously and energetically, on every plane of existence.

People who follow a New Age path may be drawn to its musical, psychological, healing, or scientific aspects, or may simply seek an individual approach to spirituality. If there's someone in your life who embraces the metaphysical, they will be delighted to receive one of any number of New Age gifts. Here, then is a synopsis of some of the possibilities for New Age gifts. New Age CDs and Books: There are any number of New Age artists who bring beautiful instrumentals and compelling vocals to their songs. Yanni and Enya are two of the more popular New Age musical artists.

Books in the "New Age" category can range from astrology and divination to self-help through spirituality. Rocks and Crystals - Many New Age practitioners believe in the power of rocks and crystals. Some books also talk about the ascension, what it is, and how you can prepare yourself for it. Each type of rock or crystal has unique properties that are related to spiritual or psychological conditions. Fluorite, for example, may help one to tell the difference between infatuation and love, while amethyst helps one to enter a state of calm peacefulness. A particularly unique gift would be wire wrap jewelry, where the artisan begins with a rock or crystal and creates pendants or earrings from it using sterling silver or gold-filled wire. Besides there aremany books on alternative ealing and mdicines and th elike. Many consider the effect of psychic factors in that as well. Fetishes - Fetishes are typically small carvings that depict animals, such as buffalo, wolves, bears, and horses. Like rocks and crystals, each animal has a set of qualities that are believed to assist the owner of the fetish. For example, a horse is thought to have healing powers, while a wolf is a sign of guidance and protection. Fetishes may be carved out of stones, and may be embellished with beads or shells.

Some New Age works and books on Huna healing and similar topics are very interesting too. Huna Healing is another one of the ancient ways of healing, like Shamanism, Wicca, many of the Eastern Philosophies, in cluding Psychic healing or Intuitive healing. Our concept of Mind/Body healing, as it is being represented today by its many advocates, is little more, or less, than a re-statement of these ancient healing disciplines.

Most any Hypnotherapist will tell you that if you, or they, can thoroughly convince your subconscious that you don't have a disease anymore... You simply don't have it anymore... Is this Magic, a miracle, metaphysical healing, Divine intervention... all of the above??? Sure, and probably even more!

The problem lies in the fact that our subconscious is an extremely dificult entity to convince about anything that affects our emotions. Sometimes it will release us from one thing (illness) but allow something else (another different illness) to take it place. Herein we find the difference between just "curing an illness" as opposed to "healing an illness"! A "healing" is what we must look for!

The ancient Kahuna Philosophy, still shared by many practioners today, is that bacteria, viruses and carcinogens don't make us ill. These things are in us, and around us, constantly. But our immune systems protects us from the infections, the diseases and the cancers. However, when we go through a severe emotional storm of some kind, anger, rage, guilt, dispair, grief... These negative emotions cause our immune systems' efficiency to dive to just about zero, and anything like a bacteria, virus or carcinogen can set in and begin to do its thing on us with little or no resistance from our natural defense system...

Bodywork - Although it is certainly not confined to those who hold New Age beliefs, massage and bodywork often plays an important role in the lives of those who practice metaphysical or New Age philosophies. A gift certificate for a therapeutic massage or a gift certificate from a metaphysical practitioner would be most welcome. Even if you've never explored New Age philosophies or metaphysical beliefs, you may be surprised at the number of people you know who do. New Age gifts are special not only because they are often unique, but also because giving them is an acknowledgment that the recipient is understood and that his or her beliefs are respected.
