Acupuncture:
           Acupuncture is a Taoist tool, utilized to help a person enhance their underlying health (a form of preventative medicine). By studying the energy flow in human beings, the meridians of this energy (Qi), and treating a person as a whole (mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical), acupuncturists can help you reduce or eliminate your chronic ailments and prevent major illness.

Affirmations:

           Our self-talk, the thoughts we hold within our mind has the power to strengthen our lives or tear us down. Which is why we need to not only pay attention to the subliminal messages we keep sending to ourselves, but re-write them. Affirmations is a tool you can use to re-write the self-talk you choose to have.

Akashic Records:

          Our past, our present, and even our future is written down in our Akashic Records. Whether you utilize a gifted person or learn to do it yourself, in opening up the records of your existence you can gain insight into your life.
           This tool is great because our past and our future impacts our present. However, not everyone remembers their past (including past lives) and may not know of their future. As a result, we can be blind to the truth of our present situation and even blind to where we are headed.

Chinese Face Reading:

          Taoist philosophy originated hundreds of years ago, even before Chinese dynasties. They focused on the balance of life, and their goal was to extend the human life to the point where we reach immortality. In this pursuit to flow with life and maintain health, they discovered and created many wonderful tools. Chinese Face Reading is one of those tools. Taoists discovered that the size, placement, and shape of our facial features indicate our healthy, personality, and potentially our future.

Co-Dependency:

          Co-dependency can happen when we have little or no boundaries. When we choose to take on responsibility or accountability for things that are not our own- we become co-dependent. Then we rely on others for our identity, self-worth, and more while enabling others in our co-dependency. The reverse is also true. We can fall into a co-dependent relationship, when we place responsibility on others, expecting them to become accountable for our well-being, problems, and even our happiness.
          Whether we are the enabled or the enabler, we can eliminate these relationships by creating healthy boundaries, our own independent identity, self-worth, self-love, and pursue our Path of Happiness.

– The Book of No By: Susan Newman

Crystals & Gemstones:

          Crystals have the capacity to influence our energy and vibration, which influences the health and happiness of our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual reality.
          How do crystals influence us? Each crystal has a unique chemical composition. This ratio of elements determines how they vibrate. These different vibrational levels determines how these crystals influence us.
          Since we are all energy and energy impacts energy, crystals impact us on a vibrational level. This influence allows us to utilize this tool to heal, help, and support ourselves.

Dysfunction:

          We carry within us toxins, negativity, and false wisdom, ideas, perceptions, messages, and lessons. Then within our lives we carry dysfunctional people and places. All of which we need to heal and release in order to move forward with our life. These dysfunctional pieces of our life can come from well-meaning people, societal standards, hurtful people, or our own self-defense mechanisms.
          They come from our past and things we have yet to let go of or from things in our life that are no-longer good for us. No matter the way dysfunction has entered your life, it is time to heal and release the pain and fear that holds you back.

           Whether you choose to see a healer or do the research yourself, herbs are a great way to treat the small ailments that we run into. Then in this way we can maintain our health and reduce the chances of ever needing/getting a major illness.

Palm Reading:

           Long ago, a fortune teller might take the hand of a client and read their palms. This was done in all seriousness and the insight and information the client received was taken to heart. Nowadays palm reading has picked up some unkind connotations. But just as Chinese Face Reading can reflect information about a person so can our hands.
           In palm reading the lines and mounds on our hands reflect our health, personality, and current life. Whether you choose to study this tool or have someone read your palms, you can gain insight into yourself and your life.

One of the Three Keys to a strong Path of Happiness, self-love stems from inside of you and as a result lies completely within your control. Not dependent on any outside validation, self-love can be kindled and ignited anywhere you are with anyone around. But that doesn’t mean you need to learn the skills to self-love alone.

Soul Contract:

          Did you know that you planned your life? This plan is commonly known as our Soul Contract. Within this contract we make a plan for our life with the aid of our spirit guides, fellow souls, and Spirit. We decide what lessons we wish to learn. What we wish to teach. What we want to experience. Who will aid us and who will challenge us. This plan provides us an outline for our life- so that we may be better guided and supported.

– Your Soul Contract
– Your Soul’s Plan By: Robert Schwartz (Robert Schwartz has introduced this idea to the public. He book breaks down this truth and provides examples.)

Spirit:

          Who you believe the creator of our souls and world is personal. Which is why I call this entity- Spirit (non-gender specific).
          I encourage you to create a relationship with Spirit, whoever that is for you. This connection determines a lot about the quality of your life and supplies many tools to remove unnecessary worry and fear, leaving more room for happiness. For this reason, I consider our personal relationships with Spirit to be one of the three keys to a strong Path of Happiness.

Spiritual Gifts:

          Each of us have gifts that come from our soul. Some of us learn to access these gifts. Either because we need them or we have created an environment where we can open ourselves up to these deeper parts of ourselves. Most commonly known as a psychic, these gifts range in style, size, and ability.

Mediums:

          Mediums have the ability to communicate with those who are dead, are ghosts, or the spirits around us (such as spirit guides). Some believe that this ability belongs in the same family of other psychics, while others believe the medium’s abilities are not linked. I am of the opinion that mediums are a part of the psychic family. That being said they are a well-known topic, so they get their own spot.
