19277.pngTo my two beautiful earth angels, Valandou and Constantine. Thank you for choosing me to be your mother to walk beside you both on this amazing journey we call life. You inspire me to grow and learn. Thank you for all the amazing lessons, the pushes, and the nudges that I need every now and then. I am grateful for your support. My prayer is that you always have the flame within you shining brightly. I love you both very much.
— Mum, xxx
Hope works in these ways:
It looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst:
It discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot:
It regards problems, large and small, as opportunities:
It pushes ahead when it would be easy to quit:
It lights the candle instead of cursing the dark
— Anonymous
The mind weighs and measures, but it’s the spirit that reaches the heart of life and embraces the secret; and the seed of the spirit is deathless. The wind may blow then cease, and the sea shall swell and then weary, but the heart of life is a sphere quiet and serene, and the star that shines therein is fixed forever more.
— Khalil Gibran
I am the light of the world.
— John 8:12

INTRODUCTION
We live in a busy and often complicated world. We run from home to our jobs to children’s events, parties, and gatherings; we are busy with family dramas, cooking dinner, and packing the kids’ lunches; and somehow, somewhere, in the chaos we call life, we try to fit in meditation or yoga. It is hardly surprising that our society has huge problems with depression, anxiety, violence, obesity, drug addiction, and stress.
Stop! Breathe! The answers to how you can change your life without shaving your head, wearing a dhoti, and rushing off to the Himalayas are here in this book.
Spirituality is not meant to be complicated or difficult or to require sacrifice. It is meant to be part of everyday life, because life itself is a spiritual experience.
Take a moment and ask yourself,Why Am I trying so hard to fit in when I am made to stand out? You are a star that shines so brightly. You were made out of the same essence as the amazing stars that we look up to in the night sky. You are unique; there is only one of you. Within you there is an alchemist who already has all the wisdom and spiritual knowledge that you seek. All you need to do is awaken from your unconscious state and remember what your soul already knows.
The universe understands only feelings. When you feel love, the universe says yes and rushes to bring you more. When you feel hate or sorrow, the universe brings that to you too. It is not the universe that must change but you.
This is why I come with a simple message: Most of us know intellectually that self-love is important, but we find the practice of it a challenge, for our families and our society have taught us that self-love is selfish. Nothing could be further from the truth. When we become sad, we close ourselves off from the universal love that flows to us at every moment. One of the best ways to get back onto the road of self-love and thereby raise your spiritual vibrational frequency is through ritual and ceremony. The ancient wisdom of candle therapy combined with respect, love, and openness will help you turn your life around.
I have poured my loving energy into the pages ahead to offer you a spiritual lifeline to personal empowerment. Within these pages, you will find all the information about the ancient art of candle therapy that you need to turn away from the lie that you are not worthy, that you are a miserable sinner, or that God has a problem with you, and to face the eternal truth that God loves you and has always loved you. We are all prodigal children trailing our way back to the garden of forgiveness and love.
The book that you are holding in your hands contains ancient wisdom that is both powerful and magical. It is my intention to transform, transmute, and transfigure your life as well as to open your heart, to allow your inner light to shine, and to enable you to witness all the magic that life has to offer.
When we combine the magical flame of the candle, invocations of our angels and guides, and the universal power of prayer, affirmation, and meditation, we engender change. When we open our hearts and have faith, we align our inner spiritual selves with our physical selves and live in higher awareness, and we work towards fulfilling our life’s purpose, towards manifesting all our wishes and desires. In the process, our lives take on a different form. We invite healing and amazing breakthroughs into our lives as we welcome unconditional love, joy, peace, health, and abundance. You see, you are the creator of your life; it is you who holds the pen and writes the script for your journey.
It is time for you to take control of your life!
If you’re seeking only affirmations, you’re reading the wrong book, as I create transformations.
In the following pages, I share with you knowledge and wisdom to create magic. God and the angels are singing and waiting for you to use it
