Camphor

Camphor Burning to Clear Negative Energy

Camphor is widely used in Hindu religious ceremonies. As Hindus worship the holy flame by burning camphor. Burning of camphor symbolizes union with God — just as the camphor burns itself out without leaving any residue, so does burning one’s ego in the fire of true knowledge will lead them to complete union with God.

According to the ancient Indian traditional systems of healing, camphor purifies the air and inhaling that air has numerous medicinal benefits. Camphor products are used to relieve pain and reduce itching. It has also been used to treat fungal infections and minor burns.

.One of the biggest uses of camphor is to remove negativities. The following rituals can be performed using camphor if you feel an evil eye has impacted a person or a home.

Burn camphor every morning and evening in the aroma oil dispenser or a camphor lamp so that the fragrance should reach all corners of the house or office. At times, there are huge deposits of soot on the outside of the bowl in which we burn the camphor. It is said that this is the negative energy, which is now burnt.
To remove your own negative thoughts, one can light fire in a small vessel, take camphor in right hand and rotate it thrice in clockwise direction over the face and head. Feel all the negative vibrations, thoughts and energy absorbed by camphor. Put the camphor in the burning fire until it extinguishes.

Place a bowl of vinegar and add a square of camphor into it. Leave the bowl in every room that needs cleansing. Replace them everyday for 40 days; all negative energies in the space will be cleared

Light a camphor tablet; ask the person whose evil eye impact has to be removed to stand facing east. Hold this lighted camphor and do three or nine clockwise and then three or nine anti-clockwise hand movements, one up and down movement in front of him/her. Then hold the pointer finger over the black portion of the flame. CAMPHOR USES & BENEFITS:

1. Camphor for skin problems: 

                                     If you suffer from itching and rashes, do this simple home remedy. Take a piece of edible camphor and mix it with little amount of water. Wash the effected area with this homemade camphor rinse. You will find the itching gradually reducing. But make sure not to use the camphor on open wounds and cuts.

2. Camphor for Pregnant women: 

                              In India, we make a camphor oil at home to treat pregnancy cramps. Mustard oil or coconut oil is heated with synthetic camphor till it is fully melted. Once it cools down to lukewarm temperature, it is can be massaged on the legs. Even I followed this remedy, when I was pregnant with my son, as I suffered from cramps during the last trimester. 

3. Camphor for ants:

                         Next time you have an ant problem in your home, don't use harsh chemicals around your home. Dissolve a little edible camphor in some water and sprinkle over the area and see the ants vanish immediately. This is a very safe way to get rid of ants at home.

4. Camphor for bed bugs:

                      Camphor can be used to to effectively treat bed bugs. If you have bed bugs, wash the sheets and sun dry the mattress. Then take a large chunk of camphor and put it in a muslin bag and keep it between the mattress, this will drive away any left over bed bugs and prevent further attacks too. 

5. Camphor for acne & acne scars:

                       Massaging the skin with few drops of good quality camphor essential oil along with a base oil will treat acne and acne scars very effectively. Never use the camphor essential oil directly on the skin. Some good base oils are extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, wheat germ oil, etc. 

6.Camphor for cold in children:

                          This home remedy for treating chest congestion is very popular in India and it is very effective. To make the remedy, take mustard or coconut oil and heat it along with little synthetic camphor. When it is warm, rub it on the child's chest and back to get good relief from chest congestion.

7. Camphor for hair loss & dandruff:

                                Camphor essential oil when added to our regular hair oil stimulates blood flow to the area and promotes hair growth. However use this as a pre shampoo treatment as the smell of camphor will be very strong if used as a leave in massage oil. This treatment also treats dandruff.

When God hurts us

When people hurt us, we often want to get back at them, hurt them the way they have hurt us. When things go wrong in life, we may want to get back at life’s supreme controller, God, by resenting or blaspheming him. But attacking God is like spitting at the sky – it is the disfigurer who ends up getting disfigured. Resenters and blasphemers find themselves deprived of God’s enlightening wisdom and empowering grace, thereby becoming more vulnerable to the mind’s trivial tantrums and petty passions.   That’s why when life hurts us, instead of getting back at God, it’s far more intelligent to get God back – to reconnect with him through wisdom and devotion. This is illustrated in the narrative of the Bhagavad-gita. At the Gita’s start, Arjuna faced a heart-wrenching crisis: he had to fight and slay his venerable elders such as his grandfather and his martial teacher. Prior to this traumatic war, he and his family had been victimized repeatedly by the relentless machinations of his evil...

Shiva and Shani

It would be difficult to debate Shiva’s connection with yoga as there are numerous commentaries and teachings from him regarding yoga, additionally, he is commonly referred to as Yogeswar, the lord of yoga.  Even while reading select puranas, it becomes apparent that Shiva has a strong connection with yoga/meditation as he is frequently referenced as meditating for long periods of time; his dress is that of a renunciant, and one should note his strong association with caves, mountain tops and other locations for meditation.  From a Shaivite (a follow of Shiva) perspective, it is Shiva’s meditation that upholds and transforms the universe.  It is his relationship with Durga/Parvati/Uma that gave rise to many forms within the realm of creation.   But more interestingly, it is Shiva’s relationship with Shani (Saturn) that is largely ignored yet applicable to students of modern Hinduism/Yoga/Spirituality. Within Vedic...
