Let’s start with a brief definition.  What is a chakra ? A chakra (pronounced “cha”-“kra” with a resounding “ch”) is a center of energy. Originating from Sanskrit, it literally means “wheel” by association with its function as a vortex of spinning energy interacting with various physiological and neurological systems in the body.  Chakras  are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to to the immune system and emotions. We can commonly count  7 chakras  positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, that is depicted through a specific chakra color, and governs specific functions that help make you, well, human. - What are the chakra colors? The chakra colors are typically broken down into seven and follow the order of the color of the rainbow, from red to purple and white. These colors reflect the different fr...

In mid-autumn the old is dying & everything is turning inward as the new prepares to be reborn.  We begin to think & dream about new beginnings & what the new year will bring. But before we can enjoy new beginnings in our life we need to contemplate what needs to “die” within ourselves in order to welcome the new life that will grow into next year’s harvests.  We start to turn inward before we’re “reborn” at the winter solstice. This is a time to open yourself to your inner voice, your intuitive power.   This is a powerful time for magic & manifesting. We all know Halloween as the time of year where costumes and candy reign supreme. This spooky holiday allows both children and adults alike the opportunity to channel their inner spirit for tricks or treats, but what many are unaware of is that this holiday is Pagan in origin and is a special time to celebrate the souls of our dearly departed, as the veil between this world and the next beco...

Interpreting The Energy Field Of Life Aura: au|ra - A particular atmosphere or quality that seems to surround a person or thing. From Webster's New World Dictionary (3rd College Edition)     Aura Interpretations There are 4 facets to perceiving and interpreting the energy of the aura. Layers are determined by color variations. Within the color, the shape, consistency and clarity all determine the meaning of that layer.   Is the yellow you perceive around the head bright like the sun or dingy and faded? Is the green just an oblong ball around the elbow or is it around the whole body? Does the red appear as a spike flashing across the torso or is it consistently present around the head?   These examples will be further detailed, but you can see the many factors that determine the meaning of what you see. It's important to be as precise as you possibly can during a reading, whither it is for yourself or for someone else. The more you practice your second sight, the m...

Since time immemorial, we all have been practicing and exposed to witchcraft! Remember blowing your candle out on your birthday and making a wish? That, my friend, is candle magick. My name is Kabir and I have been doing candle magick for the last 20 years, as I focus on result-oriented remedies. Candle magick is intention based and each candle is customized specifically for you and your unique situation. I insist on working with faith and not fear, which is called “Kabir’s Law”. These are mostly 7-day candles that are anointed with special oils, magical herbs, spiritual prayers aka “spells” and positive intentions. Candles amplify positivity manifold, remove blockages, negativity, and opens our roads for success in love, protection from witchcraft, marriage, divorce, children, court cases, gainful employment, travel, visas, etc. The basic principles are to concentrate, visualize and focus (use the Law of Attraction) on the candle as a symbol. Candle magick can be used for ove...

Believing in the power of magic does not mean that casting a spell will instantly solve all your problems and attract all your desires. Candle magick works in a way that is very intuition based, amplifying your subconscious wants/needs to aid in your spiritual manifestation.  Candle magick truly does work & and it can change your life, only if you believe it can. The power of choice lays within you and you must understand that candle magick is a way to "engage" the power of your mind, spirit, soul and subconscious. When you manifest, not only does it invoke the power of positive thinking in your mind, but it creates subconscious drive to help you achieve what you want. Yes, there are mystical forces at work in the universe that can help you get results you want; but the most power lays within you. This phenomenon is also more commonly known as the Law of Attraction, using your energy to attract what you want in your life and allow positive things to c...

What is Clairvoyance? Clairvoyance is derived from two French words, which means “Clear Seeing”. Clairvoyance is considered as one of the forms of  Extra Sensory Perception  (ESP) – an ability to perceive things without using normal five senses; a person who has or exhibits clairvoyance is known as Clairvoyant. Is Clairvoyance Possible? Like any other psychic ability, everyone is born with the gift of clairvoyance. Everyone has the potential to be clairvoyant, even those who limit themselves.

What is the hype over essential oils? How come everyone is talking about them and do they even work? Essential oils are a concentrated extract version of the natural oils that already exists within plants.  These oils are extracted from plants via distillation. Distillation is most commonly done by steam or water, where many parts of the plants are being used, including the plant roots, leaves, stems, flowers, or bark. The therapeutic quality of essential oils has recently been discovered in the Western world and commodified to be marketable as people have just now discovered the positive outcome of essential oil use.

While the oils are still in the plant, they  provide the plants with protection against predators and disease, and also play a role in plant pollination . As these properties carry forward into the essential oils, folk medicine since ancient time...

When reflecting upon our actions or interactions, it is easy to regret  what  we said or how we acted. The most underrated gift all humans have is the gift of intuition. The term "gut feeling" exists because that first  instinctual reaction we feel is the most powerful. We inhibit ourselves from tapping into our natural intuitive gift because we are our own worst enemy and repress our beliefs and tell ourselves that our immediate reaction is too "impulsive." There is no correct way to be more intuitive other than to listen to yourself.  Yet still there are simple steps that can guide ANYONE to open up, manifest and harness more intuition in life. But why should anyone become more intuitive? Here are some kickers as to why intuition is a fantastic gift and ally to have and how to tune into your intuitive abilities: 1.  Pattern Breaking: A very interesting and fun way of prepping yourself to be more intuitive is break...

People have always said that Friday the 13th is unlucky, but where did this superstition originate from? Let's break it down to extract a deeper understanding of Friday the 13th based on numerology and astrology. Each day of the week has different meaning and significance on a level beyond our comprehension; frequencies speak in a language we cannot always understand or dissect. Specific days of the week are ruled by their planetary transits, which is astrology based. That being said, the vibes you give off or the mood you are in is also impactful. Each day implies new meanings and beginnings and the frequencies beneath the surface of each day act as a silent undercurrent that shifts on a daily basis. There are more powers at work in the universe that we will ever be able to comprehend. On average, the 13th day of the month falls in the middle of the lunar cycle. On a deeper and more spiritual level, this represents the midway point between death and rebirth. The midway point...

Hi, my name is Kabir & I am a spiritual advisor, healer, vedic astrologer, tarot card reader, life coach & much more. However, the most important part of my identity is that I am a single & gay father to my beautiful daughter; the title of "good dad" is one thing no one can EVER take away from me. I fit into the category of "minority" on many levels & that is truly what sets me apart at the end of the day. I have learned to love myself. Accepting your sexuality is an act of empowerment for yourself & for those around you. The honest you is the best you. People are seething with inward wrath because they are unable to accept themselves. The ego & anger are two vices that control us all. What makes us angry is that we don't accept who we are, leaving us spontaneously combustable & our ego in an exposed, vulnerable state. Today, National Coming Out Day, is so important in extinguishing the inner hell that is self-inflicted and a...
