What is Summer Solstice?
The first day of Summer
The summer solstice has been celebrated for centuries, with all sorts of traditions growing up around it. In the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice is usually celebrated on the 21st of June, while in the southern hemisphere, it’s usually celebrated on the 21st of December.
The summer solstice occurs during a hemisphere’s summer. This is northern solstice in the northern hemisphere and the southern solstice in the southern hemisphere. When on a geographic pole, the sun reaches its greatest height, the moment of solstice.
Ways to personally celebrate the Summer Solstice…
Seek fulfillment from your life. The summer solstice heralds the beginning of summer. This also represents the time of fulfillment. This is an excellent time to take stock of your life and assess how your goals and aims are going. From the year’s earlier New Year’s resolutions to the big goals in your life, ask yourself how you’re doing in achieving these things for yourself and others you care about.
- Are you still aligned with your goals or have you strayed from them? Take this opportunity to reinvigorate them and to make any necessary changes to achieve your aims in life.
Consolidate your energies. The stability of summer and the promise of balmy, warmer days ahead is considered to be a time to develop yourself, to set yourself free and to nurture yourself. As the crops begin ripening, this is a time for self-maturation and for consolidating your energies. Take the easier nature of summer as a reason to make greater efforts to lose weight, to refresh your home (perhaps a new layout, maybe even a new home), to readjust your nutrition intake and to find an exercise that you really click with rather than doing one everyone else is doing.
- Start a new diet today using the fresh fruits and vegetables of summer as your base. Don’t just see it as a “diet” though; use this opportunity to align your thinking about food to one that involves eating more greens, more locally grown foods, more organic foods and less processed foods.
Honor the sun. If you enjoy doing yoga, there is a set of exercises known as the Sun Salutation or Salute to the Sun which you can perform. These exercises are intended to exercise both your body and your soul, balancing both in harmony through both meditation and physical movement in one. Begin this exercise on the morning of the summer solstice and aim to make it a daily habit from this time on.

What is an Affirmation
Spiritual affirmations are all part of a means through which an individual draws on the powers of the universe.
The intent is to help the individual change or shift his or her inner compass. By doing so, the ability to live healthy, happy and in peace can become a reality. Nevertheless, no matter what the type of affirmation, the source of change lies within.

What is a Mystic?
What does it mean to be a mystic?
A mystic removes the barrier that stands between himself and another person by trying to look at life, not only from his own point of view, but also from the point of view of another.
A mystic is someone who seeks a personal experience with the divine rather than through a religion. One who is able to tap into the divine meanings and understandings of each and every happening in one’s life.
How Can One Become A Mystic?
To become a mystic, a person must first train their body and mind to think like a mystic though courses with a master teacher. Other mystic tips include:
- During your travel to and from work, practice a mantra to remove all obstacles. This can be done either coming or going and you may sing it out-loud or with your inner voice. click here for the “Om Ah Hum Meditation” Cd.
- During the day, practice wisdom and be mindful to eliminate ignorance which is fear, anger, jealousy, envy, judgement and laziness. Then, practice wisdom and be mindful to incorporate gentleness, compassion, understanding, strength and patience. Be joyful.
- Before bed time, draw yourself a peaceful salt bath, preform skin brushing and a neti pot. Additional techniques can be found in the Daily Practices Manual.
To further your life and understanding as a mystic, follow the guidance and teachings of our 16 CD Set (now on sale).

6 Easy Steps To Clear Negative Energy
The creation story by Billie Topa Tate…
Many years ago, during a morning meditation, it came it me that many areas, homes, offices, and other living spaces are exposed to many different energies. Some of these energies are restrictive, stagnate, negative, and contain many other congestive energies. Also, our homes should be a sacred place to rejuvenate and refresh ourselves.
The Etheric Enhancement Chantram:
Etheric Enhancement Chantram is a cosmic liquid jewel, transmuting and transforming negative emotions and thought forms through powerful angelic permeations’ of all particles of being. Use the Etheric Enhancement Chantram to create a sanctuary environment in your home, conducive to relaxation, peace and harmony between your and your loved ones. If you are a healing arts practitioner or giving care to loved one in the hospital, play the chantram to clean and transform the energy in the room and building. Set it to repeat softly in the background and in a very short time everyone in area will feel the difference.Take a copy to the office and play it daily to transform and transmute tension and stress that builds up in the workplace over time. You may find people naturally gravitating to your office space, because it feels so good!
Why did we use Arch Angels in the recording?
The names of the Arch Angels carry a beautiful vibration of healing, wholeness and angelic qualities which helps transform any area into these qualities.
How It Works | 6 Easy Steps To Apply The Benefits:
The vibration of the Arch Angels names have a beautiful vibration of healing, wholeness and angelic qualities. We use it in our office at the end of the day to clear the energy and start fresh in the morning. When we walk into the office in the morning it feels fresh and up-lifting.
- Use the chantram in your house daily while everyone is gone so when you return the house feels clear and up lifting.
- Use the chantram your office at a very low volume so no one will hear it. However, even though no one can hear it – it is actually clearing and empowering your office. Perfect for personal office space, especially if there are intense energies in the office.
- Use the chantram in your car, boat, or any transportation vehicle to clear the area of stagnation or intense emotional energy from people or situations.
- Use the chantram to clear and balance your energy field by listening to the Etheric Enhancement recording for a few minutes.
- While your teenagers are at school, play this recording in their room and then turn it off before they come home so they can feel up-lifted and empowered in their rooms.
- After cleaning house, play the Etheric Enhancement recording for approximately an hour to further cleanse the house energetically.
