How to Burn Relationship ContractsAdapted from Your Aura and Your Chakras, by Karla McLaren (Weiser Books, 1998).
Simple Solution

Through conscious and unconscious agreement, many relationships evolve (or decay) in precisely delineated, contractual patterns. In these cases, it is very likely that you have entered into a psychic contract with this relationship--a contract that needs to be examined, renegotiated, or destroyed.

Learn how to burn such relationship contracts, here:

To burn a relationship contract, first get grounded. Now, create a large piece of sturdy parchment paper in front of you and inside your aura. This parchment originates inside your aura to remind you that your reviews of people and your side of any contract belong to you, not them.

Choose a warm soothing color for this parchment. Bright or strong colors can be too reflective, and you’ll want this paper to accept all your energy and projections, without reflecting anything back onto you.

With the paper in front of you, allow yourself to think of your contract partner. Let your thoughts be transmitted to the parchment. You can write your partner’s name on the parchment, or you can write the name of the relationship. You can project your contract partner’s image onto the paper, or transmit a video of their movements, actions, and behaviors. If your first parchment becomes crowded with images, move it gently aside, and create a fresh parchment, so you can continue to release the relationship. Some relationship contracts will require many parchment pages before you are through with them.

As you continue to work, your own image will begin to emerge alongside the image of your contract partner. You will be able to see your conflicts, your body postures, your own attitudes, and your responses to your partner. Place those images and attitudes on the parchment as well. They signify your involvement in the contract, your payoffs, and your reasons for agreeing to the contract in the first place.

When you feel a shift (it might be a feeling of release and relaxation), roll up the parchment, with the content on the inside. Tie it closed with a piece of golden rope. Toss them 3-5 feet outside your aura. Gather them together and then burn them up.

Plant a Seed of Hope for Mental Health Awareness Month by Kathryn Goetzke White

It took me almost fifteen years to realize I had a significant issue with depression. At age 13, I started developing unhealthy addictions. I would work to conquer one and then replace it with another through the years. It is only now that I can finally see with such clarity that I was dealing with something much bigger than myself, much bigger than something I could control without seeking treatment, taking care of myself, and making significant lifestyle changes.
I should have known. I had a father who committed suicide when I was 19 – and there were other depression/suicide episodes in his family. I had a history of alcoholism in my family. Unfortunately, depression was so highly stigmatized that I thought it was like people said – something I could control and snap out of.
When I launched my product line Mood-lites in 2004, I wanted to donate to a nonprofit organization dealing with depression. Unfortunately, there weren’t any international organizations that really tackled the stigma – and seeing that the World Health Organization had said that depression would be the leading cause of health impairment by 2020, I thought something needed to be done.
So I founded iFred (The International Foundation for Research and Education on Depression). This month, we are celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with a campaign to work to eliminate the stigma – and create a field of hope.
This is a great opportunity to share your support of depression, and people that seek help, because you can plant a seed in their honor.
Over 1 in 10 people are dealing with depression in any given year, and this field of hope is intended to bring awareness and thoughts of brighter days ahead. To find out more, please visit www.depression.org
