Seed Thoughts On Visualisation Process

2009-09-27T04:59:00.004+05:30

Visualisation is a high sensitivity on the mental plane. It is the radar which catches the waves in space and records them upon the mirror of the mind.

There are two activities of visualisation the wave that goes, evocation, the wave that comes, invocation, bringing with it the impression of the object through creative imagination.

Visualisation is a bridge-building faculty, and a process of creating relationships. It is an interpreter, a transformer, and a power to bring blue-prints to realisation.

The creative imagination is not the same as visualisation. It is the second step towards ideation, objectification. Its duty is to adjust the received energies to need of environment, giving to them the needed colour, rhythm, form.

Visualisation connects the space-energy world with the mental plane. Creative imagination connects the mental with the emotional etheric-physical planes.

The imagination is not creative if there is no visualisation. Visualisation gives to it the creative faculty. Creativity is the result of the fusion of visualisation and imagination.

Sometimes an impression falls into the ocean of the intuition. It is just a condensed light but a source of unlimited ideas and plans. Visualisation is the process of grasping the nature of that impression, of fusing it and then using it as an energy for a new creation which will be able to carry down the message of the original impression.

In the higher forms of visualisation man works with his Soul ray. In creative imagination he works with his personality astral, mental, etheric rays, and translates the received impression through these rays.

Visualisation is conditioned by:

The point of tension reached upon the highest mental planes,which creates a deep occult silence in which the impression is absorbed.

The released energies in the subjective world, which may be rays or avataric influences which obey some cyclic law and work under a plan.

The purity of mechanism, which is a state in which there are no obstacles to the wave of impression and their expression.

In building the antahkarana visualisation follows the same pattern. The mind reaches to its point of tension, to its point of crises, to its point of highest sensitivity. From the other side the Spiritual Triad radiates its impressions, its energies. Then there is the period of transmutation and transmission between these two poles.

In the higher processes of visualisation comes that period in which the highest mental plane, with the help of the soul, absorbs the highest impressions and energies, thus creating a point of contact. This point of contact itself is a window through which man sees the unlimited reality of higher possibilities, and his identity with the One. If this point of contact is continuous and clear we say that the antahkarana is built.

Visualisation is a process of substantiating of impressions, of energies. Impression can be considered as cause, visualisation as effect. Service results when impression, amplified by visualisation, radiates into the worlds of men, bringing there the energy of right relationship and the vision of the divine Plan.

Service utilises the power of visualisation. Visualisation sanctifies service. Impression gives right direction to service and is a source of energy to face any difficulty along the line of activity.

Visualisation is the act of creating the future. It is planning for the future, and the future is the world of energies and ideas which is waiting for realisation and materialisation.

Impression is a process of getting.
Visualisation is a process of becoming.
Service is a process of giving.

They are Spirit, Soul, Personality, and an initiate will be found standing as a focussed will in the centre of this triangle impression . . . visualisation . . . service.

Discovering - Examining - Modifying Is Our Spiritual Reality

2009-09-26T17:47:00.006+05:30

In my previous articles on this subject i defined our spiritual as being all that is non-physical, or that which cannot be examined through our physical senses. We were able to see that included such as thoughts, ideas, perceptions, even aspects of some emotions or feelings. i have found that such a list of non-physical aspects of our "beingness" can be extensive. many of them not appearing to be all that spiritual. Like all areas of learning, we begin by recognizing and defining the gross; working our way into areas finer in definition.

We tend to first see in "black and white"; only later recognizing and determining shades of gray and colors.
A useful analogy for the process of learning about our spiritual reality would be that of music, as it is something that requires the use of both our minds and our senses. Imagine that you are listening to loud rock music. Until you can tune it out or turn it off you will be unable to hear or appreciate the soft easy-listening music also being played. Also, until you can tune out or turn off the easy listening music you will be unable to hear or appreciate the gentle and beautiful melody also being played. And finally, until you can tune out or turn off the melody you will be unable to hear the angelic sounds, the music of LIFE, that can draw you to unimaginable heights of joy and peace.

Though the religious upbringing of your childhood will color what you "see" somewhat. We have learned it makes no difference whether one's guide, savior or teacher is Lord Krishna, Moses, Mohammed, Jesus, an angel, a spirit guide or ones own Higher Self. We will each see what we need to see.
And now for the process of getting there. We have experimented and worked with meditation, auto-hypnosis, hypnosis and reverie. What seems to work best, in our experience, is a process called Directed Reverie. The challenge comes from attempts to take and active hand in a passive process, an impossibility for our conscious minds to perform. We must recruit the assistance of other parts of our consciousness.

For those who cannot understand the problem or who already have some experiences with other techniques, i suggest a simple exercise. i suggest that you try to go to sleep. As you probably already know, it doesn't work. The harder you try the farther away you get from your goal. Some of you already know the secret and that brings us to our point. Sleep is an effect, not a cause. It is not something you do but rather, an effect of something that you do. Many of us have even been unaware of the activities we use to generate the effect of sleep. These activities all serve to place us in a state of mental activity called monoideism; a fancy word that means single focus. In fact, most of us do several things that facilitate the sleep state, from relaxing and stretching movements to a favorite seed thought.

For your first exercise i recommend you begin by doing your favorite relaxation movements (stretching, yawning, etc.) and place your self in a sitting position in a chair that supports every part of your body, particularly your neck. Imagine that you would suddenly become unconscious. Would your body change position if that were to happen? Then change into that position now. i advise against a prone position, as it will promote sleep instead of reverie. When you are comfortable take several slow deep breaths, allowing your body to relax as you exhale each time. Make this a gentle process, not forced or exaggerated. As you feel your body relaxing begin visualizing yourself being in an idyllic place. For some that would be in a wooded glen. For others it may be by a mountain stream; or it may be an isolated beach with gentle surf washing the sand. There is no best way here. If you are not sure try them all. For those with sound and well based religious upbringing, it is sometimes of value to pray for assistance. That is a matter of personal preference and there is no wrong answer in that area.

In this visualization you focus on all of your senses: what you can "see", hear, feel, smell, taste. On the beach, for instance, you could see the ocean going on for miles into the horizon, see the surf and maybe sea gulls floating on air currents overhead, hear the sound of the surf and the cries of the gulls, smell the salt water fresh air, feel the sand under your bare feet and between your toes and the soft breeze and warm sun on your back and shoulders. Some of these senses will be quite strong while others will be barely perceived. We don't all have the same sensual priorities. Some can hear and smell better that they can see. Others can feel and taste better that the others. Just try them all.

Referring to our previous analogy, by relaxing we are able to tune out the louder music and tune in to the gentler sounds beneath it. It is through our "subtler senses" that we are able to experience the subtler non-physical reality. we have an entire set of senses for the subtler realities. In fact there are more than five senses available to us. We can discuss those other senses in later articles.
There is no risk of harm in these or any other exercises we will be recommending. Most people find this state of reverie very relaxing and beneficial and want to do it often. If you do it often and for long periods you will simply fall asleep and have a delightful and very restful nap.

I suggest you do this exercise several times, until it becomes effortless and enjoyable. In my next article i will be expanding on "seed thoughts". There will be additional exercises described for those who truly seek to explore their spiritual reality.

The Mind Brings Dreams To Reality...!

2009-09-21T16:15:00.003+05:30

The mind brings dreams to reality if you know how to use it. You can create reality when you find steps in developing mind power. 'Think and grow rich!" Changes, nurturing, internalization are a process in developing your mind power.

Fall short of one step will definitely delay your process, not that your reality will not come true, the route will be slightly rougher and harder.

Your ability to change, your ability to accept and your power to let go are a series of attributes in developing your mind power. Most of us dwell on fear and the past that led us to keep on pivoting around it, eventually drown and blind us to recognize the road to success.

Focus is the ultimate power. Clutters thoughts are diversion which are lack of goals and direction. Without fixation, you can never conquer your mind. Developing mind power will help you master your mind and master your life. Improving your focus and not let dream stealers to choke your path of glory. Strong focus does not uphold unwavering thoughts but determination, powerful self belief, persistency, commitment and lastly patience.

Embracing changes are the largest hurdle you have to face. New lessons, adapting and accepting new deviation are always higher steps leading to your success. Your power to change easily will create rapid moves towards your creation to reality. Your power to let go will allow you to release the bad past experience and see the future in a clean and clear learning space. You will embrace no failure and take unforseen turns as life lessons.

Your mind is liken to a garden. "As A Man Thinketh" ~ James Allen. You can choose to grow your garden with beautiful flowers or let others or yourself to plant weeds in it.

Nurturing is a process to kill the weeds as when it starts to grow. Listening to motivational tapes and reading empowering quotes will keep reinforcing your foundation your belief. Your strengthening belief will kill doubts, anxiety and fear. Without doubt and fear, your mind will be engaging at optimum performance. Developing mind power will intensify your self confidence. With renewed power, you are braced with a positive attitude towards new challenges. The positive thinker sees the invisible feels the tangible and achieves the impossible.

"What your mind can conceive and believe you can achieve!"

~ Napoleon Hill.

Visualization and affirmations are the common processes to hold our dreams. But many of us uses it with disbelief that is why it does not work. Repetition is the key to success. A process is much needed to practice these process consistently and with commitment. Subliminal softwares are lazy ways to program your subconscious mind with positive thoughts to result to subtle changes in your life.

Guided meditation can be a powerful step to ironcast your visualization. A complete system in developing your mind power will not only let you to form your success but also hold your success. With this system, it can create lasting positive changes in your life and let love and blessing along with it.

Guardian Angels...!

2009-09-20T17:12:00.004+05:30

Guardian angels are assigned not only to every living human soul but to all the inhabitants of earth. They know exactly what you need for your development, your divine life purpose and your agenda is their agenda. Guardian angels NEVER leave your side from birth through death no matter what mistakes you make. Like God/dess, they love you no matter what. Everyone, even the most negative people you can think of, Charles Manson, Saddam Hussain, Adolf Hitler, all have (or had) guardian angels throughout their lives. However, when humans incarnate on earth, we come down here with no memories of what we are and where we came from. We are given freedom of choice. Our guardian angels can give us guidance and love but it is our free choice whether we listen to it or not. As you can imagine, often times, negative people don’t listen to their guardian angels.

How You Can Connect with Your Angels

You must ask your guardian angels for help even though they’re permanently stationed by your side. Angels want to surround us but can’t help us unless we ask. A universal law that binds angels states, “No angels shall interfere with a human’s life unless asked with the exception being a life-threatening emergency.”

Invite your angel to work with you. Welcome your angel so it's easier for you to work together. This will create great value in your life. Your angel is not a fairy godmother or a "cosmic vending machine." They can, however, help us in many ways that are often overlooked as coincidences.

How do Angels Communicate with Us?

Angels Help mostly by by communicating directly if you are able to receive or indirectly with omens (i.e. a book they feel you should read may fall off a shelf in your path for example). Out of nowhere, you may suddenly have a desire to contact someone or go somewhere. They can also send information in dreams and as compressed energy that unfolds over time—you’ll have a knowing but won’t be able to verbalize it or explain it for a while as the pieces of the puzzle come together. They can also send you very high-level healing energies and healing. If you are able to feel subtle energies you may feel this as warmth or tingling pulses of energy moving through your body.

After asking your angel for assistance, watch for repetition of words you see, hear or think. Notice patterns like repeatedly hearing a song, seeing a bumper sticker or having a friend unknowingly repeat the very same message your angel gave you. Keep asking until you feel you completely understand the answer.

Beginning to Contact Your Angels

The following suggestions may help you in making initial contact with your angels.

Choose a regular time each day to communicate to your guardian angels. Before going to sleep or when you first wake up may be the best time

If you have depression, negative feelings, fear, nightmares—ask your guardian angels for extra protection.

Remain open to messages from your angel at all times. Especially when you sense a warning that you are making a mistake or a prickly feeling of danger.

Don’t be irresponsible and risk your personal safety. Your guardian angel can’t override your free will.

Be positive! Your angel will guide, heal and protect you but you must be responsible for your own actions. Don’t blame others or dismiss problems in your life as “something/someone is against you” or curses.

What if I don't feel a connection?

Angels vibrate at a very high level and it may take a while to attune yourself to this high vibration. Be patient! The most common blocks to getting angelic guidance are:

Diet—(meat, caffeine, shellfish, most junk food, prepackaged foods that contain chemical additives and preservatives and chocolate are all low vibration foods that can block divine guidance)

Drugs—(even over the counter products) and alcohol can cloud clarity.

Drama—Whether the chaos is yours or originates from others in your life, it can make you distracted and agitated which adds to the difficulty of connecting with angels. Ask your angels to clear away all negativity and fear and fill you with the energies of peace and love.

Disorganization—Angels are attracted to clean, organized, quiet atmospheres. Provide a welcoming atmosphere to appeal to angels.

Negative People—Make changes where you can in your own life and try to avoid negative people. If you can't because of your circumstances, it may take you longer to connect but keep trying, eventually you'll be able to tune into the higher vibrations.

Inexperience—If you haven’t done a lot of spiritual work or find it hard to relax and quiet your mind, be patient and realistic with your expectations. Try to increase your awareness of angels by heightening your all your senses and meditating regularly only a few minutes at a time.

Unrealistic Expectations—If you're expecting a talking hologram to appear and talk to you for an extended amount of time, it's not going to happen. Especially at first, the contact may be brief and more of a feeling than visual or audio. If you are lonely, you need human contact! Get out and join clubs or groups with interests like yours. Life is meant to be lived—get out there!

It can take days, weeks even months to receive an answer you fully understand. And sometimes, the answer comes through an event or moment of sudden insight. It may come to you unexpectedly during a casual phone call from a friend, something you read in a book, newspaper or magazine, from a conversation between strangers you inadvertently overheard. The main thing is to be aware and open.

Patience will allow you to persevere, even if you do not get results right away. Patience will help you build faith in your Angels, trusting that at the right time they will come through. Faith endears you to your unseen supporters, as well as creating the space for miracles, which is where they gather and thrive. Miracles do not have to be earth shattering. Miracles can be tiny happenings in your daily life that make you feel good or that make you laugh or even cry from happiness.

The Power of Asking

Angels, and this includes our own and others' guardian angels, can do nothing for us unless we ask. If you need help, just ask! That's why God sent angels to be with you for life. Your angels are just waiting to be asked for help. Don't worry about asking for too much. There is no sense of linear time in the spiritual realm. Have you ever been driving somewhere and all of a sudden had an urge to make a turn you didn't plan on and then later found out there was a bad traffic jam you avoided by listening to that urge and turning off the road? That's your guardian angels assisting you. Don't forget to thank them when you notice the correlation.

Working with Others' Guardian Angels

You can also ask others' guardian angels for help or assistance. If someone, say your boss or a coworker, is making life more difficult than you think is fair, ask their guardian angel to have them be nicer to you or leave you alone altogether. If you are having problems with a loved one, plead your case to their guardian angel and ask for their help to bring peace into the situation. Others' guardian angels are willing to help as long as our requests are positive and won't hurt the one they are to protect. If it's a big issue, write a letter to the person's guardian angels asking for help. It may sound bizarre but works

Meditation to Meet Your Guardian Angels

Before trying this meditation, it's helpful to be familiar with the chakras and assure they are cleared and balanced. Go to the webpage on Chakras for more information. Here's the meditation to balance and clear the chakras.

The following prayer should be spoken, mentally or aloud before making contact with your angels. You should change it so it’s one you feel comfortable saying.

God/dess, Holy Spirit,Archangel Michael and the angels

(and/or Lord Krishna,QuanYin, Mother Mary, Mohammed, Moses, St. Germain, Father Wind, Mother Earth, a specific Goddess, Saint or Master. Substitute your preference for a devotional figure)

I ask your protection and help in giving me detailed information from my guardian angels that will help me attain my highest purpose and joy. Please protect me from all fear and negativity and assure that who I intend comes through as a clear channel for the light.

Thank you so much for your love and assistance.

Amen

Sit in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Place both feet on the ground and begin to mentally prepare for you meditation. Begin by grounding and centering yourself. Close your eyes and imagining roots growing from your feet into Mother Earth. Then follow this simple breathing exercise to relax your physical body: breathe in through your nose, hold it for 7 seconds, and release it very slowly through your mouth. Repeat 3 times then unconsciously continue breathing this way throughout the meditation. Tell your Ego-self (or lower self) to stand aside. Mentally tell the Ego-self it is silenced now and know it is so.
Ask the Holy Spirit to surround you in a beam of white protective light. The Holy Spirit immediately responds and beams down a ray of protective white light.

Now imagine yourself in a beautiful place, it can be a forest, a meadow, a beach, wherever you will feel comfortable. Find a comfortable spot in this beautiful place to rest and relax.

Now, in your mind's eye, look around you, and notice a path. It is a beautiful path filled with love. This path is very long; it seems to go on and on—you can’t see the end of it. Keep your focus on this path.

Mentally ask for your Guardian Angel to come forth. Express your interest in wanting to meet him/her. See an illuminated ball of light in the distance.

It may be white or may be a color. Notice the color you see. See it slowly coming closer and closer becoming aware that the light is getting larger as it comes closer to you.

Your Angel may decide to make itself known in another form. Just let this happen. Note what the light looks like as it come closer

Now your angel is directly in front of you. There may be more than one as your other angels, guides, relatives and pets may want to connect with you.

Greet your angel. You may get impressions, emotions, and tingly feelings. Its not uncommon for Angels to talk to you in your own voice, so don’t discount your inner voice as your imagination. Feelings of love, encouragement and warmth are most common markers of Angelic contact.

Thank your Angel for all the times that they have helped you, comforted you and protected you.

Mentally invite the intervention, guidance and assistance of your Angel in your life from this point onwards.

Ask your angel the name they wish to be called. Angels’ true names are unpronounceable by us. They will either make up a name or let you choose one. If you don’t get one right away, don't worry. You may get a color or a musical note, every contact is different. Just know that whatever you receive is correct for you.

Ask your angel to communicate any messages to you. Absorb any communication such as thoughts, visions, knowingness and feelings, love and emotions.

Ask your angel any questions you have, one at a time. Note the answers. Don’t doubt the information or emotions you are given, just let your angel communicate to you in their own way.

Now say the following prayer to your guardian angel:

Angel of God, my guardian dear

To whom God’s love commits me here

Ever this day, be at my side

To light and guide,

To rule and guard,

Thank you!

Now ask the Creator to bless you and your Angel. See the both of you showered by the Light and Love from the Divine

Thank your Angel for meeting you in this meditation. Let your angel know you look forward to contacting them again soon

Know they are always by your side.

Focus on grounding and centering yourself by picturing the roots from your feet into Mother Earth.

Pause a moment and open your eyes.

Did you get a name? If not, don't worry, sometimes just feeling your angel's energy is enough in the beginning.

Angel Names

Like humans, each angel (or any entity created by God/dess) has it's own unique energy and purpose. God/dess assigned your dear guides, protectors and messengers for specific life purposes and for good reason. Know that the true names of angels and spirits are usually unintelligible and may be a high pitched tone or vibration that humans can't discern using their current senses. Words as we know them on earth do not exist in most other realms as information is relayed telepathically without the human need to process it. The angel names, especially those that end with "el" were actually given to these beings by humans. The name resonates to the angel or ascended master's essence. The "el" angel names have Judeo origins that this ancient group of people assigned and that angels still come through with today. The same with many deities. The names your angels, fairies and guides give to you or a psychic will have a special significance for you even if their name in the spiritual realm is unintelligible to our 3D existence.

Each name has a specific meaning and can represent symbols, angels, saints, avatars, geniuses, etc. If you are given a regular name such as Therese or Brigid, look it up in a baby name book for the meaning. Chances are it contains a special message for you. You may read about St. Therese and find that the work she did on earth has very special meaning to you and her talents match your own--the fact that you always received red roses would be a validation she's been trying to get your attention. Or that the Goddess Brigid (also known as St. Brigid) represents something very deep in you. Her name means strength, thinking about past circumstances in your life, did you often need the strength offered by this powerful divinity? St. Brigid is the patron saint of Ireland and Brigid was also the Goddess of fire and poetry. See how looking deeper at the names and meanings of your guides and angels can bring clarity to your life's purpose?

One thing I'd like to address here are the names received of your guides and angels. The most surprising (and I must admit, disappointing) thing I've found in giving angel readings is that people sometimes don't understand the names given by their guides and angels. Many people are disappointed if they don't get what they consider a glamorous name such as Morningstar, Singing Wolf or only want a familiar angel like Archangel Michael or a Goddess like Cerridwen to be their guardian. While these are deities that are very much involved with guiding humans and often come through in readings, there are literally billions of angels and spiritual guides out there. Most of them are not documented in any book written here on earth. Many are unique just to you.

Many people have archangels with them because these special angels have the power to be able to intervene in every earth incarnation simultaneously. Cassiel is often with people that are working through blocks and breaking unhealthy patterns in their lives. She is the very powerful angel of solitude and tears and is easy to connect with.

Consider the comparison of hearing your angel's name to learning your totem animal. Everyone doesn't have the wolf, bear and eagle as totems. Some have less glamorous but just as powerful totems like the ant, the turkey or the mouse. The armadillo could be with you if you need assistance in setting healthy boundaries. If you and your friends went to a psychic and the only names given were well-known angels, the only totems given were the more popular animals then shouldn't you be somewhat skeptical? You should, although the psychic may not be fake but after years of looking at disappointed faces, may just want to please their clients and tell them what they want to hear.

If your earth's purpose includes impacting a lot of people, you probably have a guardian angel from one of the higher level hierarchies. This doesn't make them superior than others' angels, just that their origin is at a higher level vibration and they are closer to the God/dess Light. I find the higher level angels and aeons can have really long, strange, or hard to pronounce names. Most guardian spirits of the angelic realm have names that end with "el" or "ah."

When dealing with these very high vibration spirits it can take a while to get the name correctly and the spelling can be a little off (you may get two spellings in a reading). You can look up your angel's name on the internet by putting it into a search engine such as www.google.com and there are some great angel dictionaries out there (Angels A to Z by Matthew Bunsen and A Dictionary of Angels by Gustav Davidson. Keep in mind that there are billions of angels and yours may not be documented.
If you find the name difficult to say, shorten it. Take my word for it, they won't mind. The angels and guides that are with you love, guide and protect you unconditionally, are assigned to you for a specific reason and, since they don't have egos, won't get their feelings hurt if you want to change their name. It truly doesn't matter what you call them just so long as you call on them often. If you want to let them know you've acknowledged them by the name they've given in a reading but would rather call them another name. Just let them know the name you will call them going forward. Believe me, they will answer the call to the name you've given them.

The Wandering Mind And Meditation...!

2009-09-20T02:09:00.002+05:30

One of the most common things I hear people say about meditation is, “I have tried many times to sit down and meditate, but I just can’t seem to get my mind to be quiet. No matter what I do it never works, my mind just wanders off onto many other things. I wish I could be like others who love meditation and get so much out of it. But I just can’t do it!”

If this is your problem, you are amongst the majority and this blog is written especially for you.Other points of view especially from those who are seasoned mediators would be really helpful to those who are reading this blog.

Have you ever noticed that masters refer to meditation as a practice? Meditation is a Practice! It is exercise for the mind, an exercise to gain control of the mind. For most people the mind goes wherever it will, without control of the owner. It is like the servant is ruling the master. You need to become the master of your mind; you need to direct the mind in where it is going…

Healing With Mantra Meditation

2009-09-20T01:13:00.008+05:30

Meditation is known as a tool to help the mind relax. It is also pretty well known that healing mantra meditation is a form of meditation that through an uninterrupted contemplation of what sound you’ve chosen will help to relax your mind and body. It may not be sufficiently clear how to reach a state of mind that will become healing in meditation and meditative efforts.

When preparing yourself for healing mantra meditation, it is important to first choose the sound that you will be using as a mantra. For some, it’s a simple “OMMM” sound, but for others might want to choose something more specific such as “I will” as you inhale, “release tensions” as you exhale. The sound that you choose will be important to you as you ruminate over what it is you’re trying to accomplish or heal with this curative type of meditation. The more specific the sound, the more specific the healing can be.

Some tips to contemplate may be can your problem be put into a short set of words? Is the problem something specific or is it something more general. Are you looking for a solution for yourself or someone close to you? Deliberation of these thoughts will help you decide whether a general sound or specific will work better for you.

Once you have chosen your mantra, you will want to sit yourself in a comfortable position. Some will choose the lotus position, sitting cross legged with back perfectly straight. Others may not choose the floor and can choose to sit in a chair or on a stool. Either way, be sure your back is aligned and your posture is straight. Close your eyes and begin your mantra. Be sure to focus your attention on your voice and the repetition of sound. Contemplate the repetitive sound that is emanating from you. Soon you will feel yourself let go of your problem as the negativity of it is released, and you open yourself to the curative powers of your mantra. Once your mind has prepared itself for healing, that healing will physically and mentally begin.

Healing mantra meditation has been used for centuries and will continue to be used. The healing benefits of this practice are unparalleled. Where modern medicine can fall short, meditation through a mantra prepares your body and mind for the healing that will be taking place. If talking and therapy have not been enough to solve a problem, meditation and rumination of the problem through a mantra will open your mind and move it to the positive. In doing so, the opportunity for a solution opens up and often is found.

This curative form of meditation is used and used again by many. It has proven to harmonize the body and mind. In doing so, the process of healing can and will begin. Contemplation of that mantra in meditation often is the first step on the road to healing.

Effects Of Meditation Inside A Pyramid...!

2009-09-15T19:50:00.008+05:30

Careful study reveals several unique and beneficial qualities that may be derived from Pyramid Meditation. Experienced Mediators relate profound results in their quest for expanded awareness. Many people feel that psychic powers are stimulated or heighten by the use of pyramids.

Psychics who use pyramids in that fashion have achieved an altered state of consciousness more rapidly than they would have otherwise, placed on the head focusing through the chakra system, during Meditation sessions, clearing psychic passages which may have become blocked.

The pyramid is a geometric amplifier which increases the power of prayer or strengthens the spiritual request of a religious devotee.

Pyramid Mediators suggest that the best results are achieved by sitting upright with the upper chakras (the force-centers of energy within) located approximately one third up from the pyramid base directly under the apex.

The use of a pyramid in meditation can accelerate the process bringing feelings of calmness, wellbeing and a more open and positive attitude. Many users claim increased memory recall, visions of past incarnations, telepathic communication and an expansion of awareness.

Verbal and written testimonials, among experienced and non-experienced pyramid mediators throughout the world have reported that the pyramid shows the following reactions.

* A sense of weightlessness

* Electric-like tingling sensations

* Feelings of warmness, usually in the upper portions of the body

* Tranquility, relaxation and freedom from tensions

* Dreams with vivid colors and graphic visions

* External stimuli, sight and sounds particularly fade away

* Time distortion, Space consciousness prevails

* Deeper, more fulfilling meditations and higher energy levels

HIGHER ENERGIES

Careful study reveals several unique and beneficial qualities that may be derived from Pyramid Meditation. Experienced Mediators relate profound results in their quest for expanded awareness.

Visualization, safe breathing techniques posture and mantras reportedly heighten the process. Symbols, focusing crystals, color and sound have been introduced for hundreds of years. Extensive research also reveals the value of Meditation, enabling one to attain advanced level of awareness.

Transcendental Mediators have claimed relief from insomnia, various addictions, mental confusion and stress. Further testimonials show decided improvement with wellness, personality development, job performance, and learning abilities. Faster reaction time; increased self control and self confidence are the rewards of right meditation.

From several thousand testimonials, both verbal and written, among experienced and non-experienced pyramid mediators throughout the world, the open-frame, panel-less pyramid form shows the following consistently reported eight basic reactions.

1.A sense of weightlessness

2.Electric-like tingling sensations

3.Feelings of warmness, usually in the upper portions of the body

Transforming Meditations

Meditation is a method for acquainting our mind with virtue. The more familiar our mind is with virtue, the calmer and more peaceful it becomes. When our mind is peaceful we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and we experience true happiness. If we train our mind to become peaceful we shall be happy all the time, even in the most adverse conditions, but if our mind is not peaceful, then even if we have the most pleasant external conditions we shall not be happy. Therefore it is important to train our mind through meditation.

There are two types of meditation: analytical meditation and placement meditation. When we contemplate the meaning of a Dharma instruction that we have heard or read we are doing analytical meditation. By deeply contemplating the instruction, eventually we reach a conclusion or cause a specific virtuous state of mind to arise. This is the object of placement meditation. Having found our object through analytical meditation, we then concentrate on it single-pointedly for as long as possible to become deeply acquainted with it. This single-pointed concentration is placement meditation. Often, analytical meditation is called simply `contemplation', and placement meditation simply `meditation'. Placement meditation depends upon contemplation, and contemplation depends upon listening to or reading Dharma instructions.

Since most of the problems we experience when we are new to meditation come from overstraining at placement meditation, it is important to be moderate and avoid becoming tense from exerting too much pressure. The effort we apply should be relaxed and steady, and whenever we become tired we should rest.

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.

Usually we find it difficult to control our mind. It seems as if our mind is like a balloon in the wind - blown here and there by external circumstances. If things go well, our mind is happy, but if they go badly, it immediately becomes unhappy. For example, if we get what we want, such as a new possession or a new partner, we become excited and cling to them tightly. However, since we cannot have everything we want, and since we will inevitably be separated from the friends and possessions we currently enjoy, this mental stickiness, or attachment, serves only to cause us pain. On the other hand, if we do not get what we want, or if we lose something that we like, we become despondent or irritated. For example, if we are forced to work with a colleague whom we dislike, we will probably become irritated and feel aggrieved, with the result that we will be unable to work with him or her efficiently and our time at work will become stressful and unrewarding.

Such fluctuations of mood arise because we are too closely involved in the external situation. We are like a child making a sandcastle who is excited when it is first made, but who becomes upset when it is destroyed by the incoming tide. By training in meditation, we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind regardless of the external circumstances. Gradually we develop mental equilibrium, a balanced mind that is happy all the time, rather than an unbalanced mind that oscillates between the extremes of excitement and despondency.

If we train in meditation systematically, eventually we will be able to eradicate from our mind the delusions that are the causes of all our problems and suffering. In this way, we will come to experience a permanent inner peace, known as "liberation" or "nirvana". Then, day and night in life after life, we will experience only peace and happiness.....

Some Tips That Can Help You To Use Affirmations To Attract Money In Your Life...!

2009-09-05T12:37:00.013+05:30

Would you like to learn more about how you can attract the things that you want in YOUR life?

A lot of people get confused or start to wonder what they can do to use affirmations to attract more money in their life. While affirmations are a great tool that you can use to help manifest the things that you would like to have or to experience in life, you have to remember that they are not a magic spell or anything like that.

What are some tips that can help you to use affirmations to attract money in your life?

1. Affirmations are best used in a simple form. The more complicated that you make your affirmations, the harder it will be to get them to effectively seep into your subconscious mind. Something simple as, "I am attracting wealth into my life" is a far better approach than something long winded and complicated.

2. The more repetitive that you are with your affirmations, the better. Your subconscious thoughts are programmed with repetition and the more you use affirmations, the better. A good practice would be to set aside two times daily at minimum where you use these affirmative statements multiple times.

In short, affirmations are a great tool that you can use to help you to break from your limiting beliefs about money. They can also help you to create new and more empowering beliefs about money as well. You must take action as well, though. Action is a key to using affirmations to get whatever you want, including money.

Top Ten Ways To Attract Money

1. Know What You Want

Don't just think you want something. Know it! Most of us know exactly what we don't want in our lives. We have to become just as clear about what it is we do want. Knowing that you want to make $10,000 a month or more is much clearer than just knowing you want more money.

2. Listen to Your Gut

Pay attention to what your gut or intuition is telling you and act on it. Often we ignore the many signals our inner selves give us or say to ourselves, "That's crazy, I can't do that." Your intuition will lead you where you need to go in order to get the money help you need...if you let it.

3. Use Positive Money Affirmations

Write a short positive affirmation that states your money goal. For example: "$10,000 easily flows into my life each month." Click here to find out how to use affirmations effectively and here for examples of prosperity affirmations.

4. Visualize Your Goal

See yourself living the life you would lead if money were no object. Create a moving picture of all the things you would be, do and have when your money goals are realized. Allow it to become so real in your mind's eye that you actually experience the feelings of safety, joy and freedom that having money brings to you.

5. Get In The Flow

Step into the flow of the Universe and ask for money help. Whatever power or deity you subscribe to, ask for some guidance. Get quiet at some point each and every day and ask to be alert to your highest good, ask to be in the right place at the right time, ask to know what your life purpose is and how you can best serve others'. Ask and ye shall receive ;o)

6. Get Moving

Wishing just ain't gonna make it so. You need to take action! I know from personal experience that making changes is often uncomfortable and sometimes even downright terrifying. Even when I know these changes are for the good.

Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, "It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'Always do what you are afraid to do'." A great book by Susan Jeffers says the same thing but in a different way, "Feel the fear and do it anyway!" The great thing is, once you take even a small step towards your goal, the Universe will place opportunities in your path. Wealth Beyond Reason can give you lots more money help!

7. Listen To Your Self-Talk

Pay close attention to what your mind is mumbling to you. We all have some pretty heavy negative programming going on up there, especially where money is concerned. A question I ask myself often when I notice that my self-talk is negative is, "Do I really want what I just thought to manifest in my life within the next 3 minutes?" If I don't, I cancel the thought and replace it with a more positive, uplifting one.

8. Ride the Waves

Life isn't always a calm sea. Sometimes we have to hold on tight and ride the waves that threaten to overtake us. Use these times to look for opportunities, because they are always there. It's easy to blame circumstances when things get tough but blaming or despairing over something doesn't move us forward to where we want to be. As Carl Sagan said, "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."

9. De-clutter Your Life

Clean up! Not just your home or office but your relationships both personal and professional. You can't work at your best if your life is full of clutter. It may sound harsh but let go of those people who suck the energy right out of you, leaving you feeling like a wet dishrag. Throw out anything in your home or office that you haven't used for over a year. You'll be amazed at how light and creative you feel once you've de-cluttered your life and how quickly the money help you've asked for starts manifesting!

10. Nurture Your Passions

Love gardening? Love motorcycles? Whatever your passions are, nurture them. Think you can't make a living at something you're passionate about? You'd be surprised! It's easy and fun to build a business based upon your passion for a subject! Go here now to find out how. Our passions reveal to us our life purpose. It's our inner selves letting us know what will bring money, love and joy into our lives.

I have just something that everyone should read every day the moment they wake up :

*Promise Yourself*

*To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
*To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
*To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
*To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
*To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
*To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
*To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
*To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
*To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
*To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
*To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
*To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

One minute of sincere chanting is far superior to a thousands hours of mere vibration. It is the love and worship behind the sound that bring the real benefit of chanting.

OM is made up of O U M. Pronouncing Ou should be pronounced such a way that it will create the vacuum inside the body (starting from palate to diaphragm ) so the air (called Praana or life ) can fill inside.

Having a positive self-esteem and confidence in yourself can go a long way towards achieving the goals that you have set out for your mind. Whilst many people believe that confidence and esteem comes with your personality, which is determined at birth, it is not true. It is never too late to start cultivating and improving your inner image and resources, primarily that of your subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is an amazing resource that is able to store memories that have been long forgotten. It has a strong effect on the conscious mind, although it is not able to think nor reason, taking direction from the conscious mind instead. However, it is possible to reach the subconscious mind and make it work for you. Many methods are available for doing so, such as through hypnosis, subliminal programming and positive affirmations.

The most common and easy to master technique of reaching the subconscious is through positive affirmations. Whether for losing weight or increasing self confidence, positive affirmations can be applied to any aspect of your life. By inculcating a positive self esteem and confidence in your subconscious, you will be able to affect the conscious mind as well.

The subconscious mind is thus, more powerful and effective than most people give it credit for. For example, positive affirmation simply activates the subconscious mind to allow it to function at its peak, handling the everyday matters. It is able to do so by imprinting messages into your subconscious through constant repetition.

With these 3 steps, you will be well on your way towards unlocking the power of the subconscious mind and making it work for you.

How Hypnosis Works..!

2009-09-03T14:49:00.004+05:30

Early Hypnohistory
People have been entering hypnotic-type trances for thousands and thousands of years; various forms of meditation play an important role in many cultures' religions. But the scientific conception of hypnotism wasn't born until the late 1700s.
The father of modern hypnotism is Franz Mesmer, an Austrian physician. Mesmer believed hypnosis to be a mystical force flowing from the hypnotist into the subject (he called it "animal magnetism"). Although critics quickly dismissed the magical element of his theory, Mesmer's assumption, that the power behind hypnosis came from the hypnotist and was in some way inflicted upon the subject, took hold for some time. Hypnosis was originally known as mesmerism, after Mesmer, and we still use its derivative, "mesmerize," today.

When you hear the word hypnosis, you may picture the mysterious hypnotist figure popularized in movies, comic books and television. This ominous, goateed man waves a pocket watch back and forth, guiding his subject into a semi-sleep, zombie-like state.
Once hypnotized, the subject is compelled to obey, no matter how strange or immoral the request. Muttering "Yes, master," the subject does the hypnotist's evil bidding.

This popular representation bears little resemblance to actual hypnotism, of course. In fact, modern understanding of hypnosis contradicts this conception on several key points. Subjects in a hypnotic trance are not slaves to their "masters" -- they have absolute free will. And they're not really in a semi-sleep state -- they're actually hyperattentive.

Our understanding of hypnosis has advanced a great deal in the past century, but the phenomenon is still a mystery of sorts. In this article, we'll look at some popular theories of hypnosis and explore the various ways hypnotists put their art to work.

What is Hypnosis?

People have been pondering and arguing over hypnosis for more than 200 years, but science has yet to fully explain how it actually happens. We see what a person does under hypnosis, but it isn't clear why he or she does it. This puzzle is really a small piece in a much bigger puzzle: how the human mind works. It's unlikely that scientists will arrive at a definitive explanation of the mind in the foreseeable future, so it's a good bet hypnosis will remain something of a mystery as well.

But psychiatrists do understand the general characteristics of hypnosis, and they have some model of how it works. It is a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination. It's not really like sleep, because the subject is alert the whole time. It is most often compared to daydreaming, or the feeling of "losing yourself" in a book or movie. You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli around you. You focus intently on the subject at hand, to the near exclusion of any other thought.
n the everyday trance of a daydream or movie, an imaginary world seems somewhat real to you, in the sense that it fully engages your emotions. Imaginary events can cause real fear, sadness or happiness, and you may even jolt in your seat if you are surprised by something (a monster leaping from the shadows, for example).

Some researchers categorize all such trances as forms of self-hypnosis. Milton Erickson, the premier hypnotism expert of the 20th century, contended that people hypnotize themselves on a daily basis. But most psychiatrists focus on the trance state brought on by intentional relaxation and focusing exercises. This deep hypnosis is often compared to the relaxed mental state between wakefulness and sleep.

In conventional hypnosis, you approach the suggestions of the hypnotist, or your own ideas, as if they were reality. If the hypnotist suggests that your tongue has swollen up to twice its size, you'll feel a sensation in your mouth and you may have trouble talking. If the hypnotist suggests that you are drinking a chocolate milkshake, you'll taste the milkshake and feel it cooling your mouth and throat. If the hypnotist suggests that you are afraid, you may feel panicky or start to sweat. But the entire time, you are aware that it's all imaginary.

Essentially, you're "playing pretend" on an intense level, as kids do.

In this special mental state, people feel uninhibited and relaxed. Presumably, this is because they tune out the worries and doubts that normally keep their actions in check. You might experience the same feeling while watching a movie: As you get engrossed in the plot, worries about your job, family, etc. fade away, until all you're thinking about is what's up on the screen.

In this state, you are also highly suggestible. That is, when the hypnotist tells you do something, you'll probably embrace the idea completely. This is what makes stage hypnotist shows so entertaining. Normally reserved, sensible adults are suddenly walking around the stage clucking like chickens or singing at the top of their lungs. Fear of embarrassment seems to fly out the window. The subject's sense of safety and morality remain entrenched throughout the experience, however. A hypnotist can't get you to do anything you don't want to do.

But what is it that makes this happen? In the next section, we'll look at the most widely accepted theory of what's going on when you become hypnotized.

What Lies Beneath

The predominant school of thought on hypnosis is that it is a way to access a person's subconscious mind directly. Normally, you are only aware of the thought processes in your conscious mind. You consciously think over the problems that are right in front of you, consciously choose words as you speak, consciously try to remember where you left your keys.
But in doing all these things, your conscious mind is working hand-in-hand with your subconscious mind, the unconscious part of your mind that does your "behind the scenes" thinking. Your subconscious mind accesses the vast reservoir of information that lets you solve problems, construct sentences or locate your keys. It puts together plans and ideas and runs them by your conscious mind. When a new idea comes to you out of the blue, it's because you already thought through the process unconsciously.

Your subconscious also takes care of all the stuff you do automatically. You don't actively work through the steps of breathing minute to minute -- your subconscious mind does that. You don't think through every little thing you do while driving a car -- a lot of the small stuff is thought out in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious also processes the physical information your body receives.

In short, your subconscious mind is the real brains behind the operation -- it does most of your thinking, and it decides a lot of what you do. When you're awake, your conscious mind works to evaluate a lot of these thoughts, make decisions and put certain ideas into action. It also processes new information and relays it to the subconscious mind. But when you're asleep, the conscious mind gets out of the way, and your subconscious has free reign.

Psychiatrists theorize that the deep relaxation and focusing exercises of hypnotism work to calm and subdue the conscious mind so that it takes a less active role in your thinking process. In this state, you're still aware of what's going on, but your conscious mind takes a backseat to your subconscious mind. Effectively, this allows you and the hypnotist to work directly with the subconscious. It's as if the hypnotism process pops open a control panel inside your brain.

In the next section, we'll see how this theory fits in with the characteristics of hypnosis.

Suggestion Box

In the last section, we examined the idea that hypnosis puts your conscious mind in the backseat, so you and the hypnotist can communicate directly with your subconscious. This theory has gained wide acceptance in the psychiatric community, mostly because it explains all the major characteristics of the hypnotic state so nicely.

Hypnotists say that subjects under hypnosis are a lot like little kids: playful and imaginative, fully embracing bizarre suggestions.

It provides an especially convincing explanation for the playfulness and uninhibitedness of hypnotic subjects. The conscious mind is the main inhibitive component in your makeup -- it's in charge of putting on the brakes -- while the subconscious mind is the seat of imagination and impulse. When your subconscious mind is in control, you feel much freer and may be more creative. Your conscious mind doesn't have to filter through everything.

Hypnotized people do such bizarre things so willingly, this theory holds, because the conscious mind is not filtering and relaying the information they take in. It seems like the hypnotist's suggestions are coming directly from the subconscious, rather than from another person. You react automatically to these impulses and suggestions, just as you would to your own thoughts. Of course, your subconscious mind does have a conscience, a survival instinct and its own ideas, so there are a lot of things it won't agree to.

The subconscious regulates your bodily sensations, such as taste, touch and sight, as well as your emotional feelings. When the access door is open, and the hypnotist can speak to your subconscious directly, he or she can trigger all these feelings, so you experience the taste of a chocolate milkshake, the satisfaction of contentment and any number of other feelings.

Additionally, the subconscious is the storehouse for all your memories. While under hypnosis, subjects may be able to access past events that they have completely forgotten. Psychiatrists may use hypnotism to bring up these memories so that a related personal problem can finally be resolved. Since the subject's mind is in such a suggestible state, it is also possible to create false memories. For this reason, psychiatrists must be extremely careful when exploring a hypnotic subject's past.

This theory of hypnosis is based mostly on logical reasoning, but there is some physiological evidence that supports it. In the next section, we'll look at some of the physical data researchers have gathered on hypnosis.

Waves and Hemispheres

In numerous studies, researchers have compared the physical "body signs" of hypnotic subjects with those of unhypnotized people. In most of these studies, the researchers found no significant physical change associated with the trance state of hypnosis. The subject's heart rate and respiration may slow down, but this is due to the relaxation involved in the hypnotism process, not the hypnotic state itself.

There does seem to be changed activity in the brain, however. The most notable data comes from electroencephalographs (EEGs), measurements of the electrical activity of the brain. Extensive EEG research has demonstrated that brains produce different brain waves, rhythms of electrical voltage, depending on their mental state. Deep sleep has a different rhythm than dreaming, for example, and full alertness has a different rhythm than relaxation.

In some studies, EEGs from subjects under hypnosis showed a boost in the lower frequency waves associated with dreaming and sleep, and a drop in the higher frequency waves associated with full wakefulness. Brain-wave information is not a definitive indicator of how the mind is operating, but this pattern does fit the hypothesis that the conscious mind backs off during hypnosis and the subconscious mind takes a more active role.

Researchers have also studied patterns in the brain's cerebral cortex that occur during hypnosis. In these studies, hypnotic subjects showed reduced activity in the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex, while activity in the right hemisphere often increased. Neurologists believe that the left hemisphere of the cortex is the logical control center of the brain; it operates on deduction, reasoning and convention. The right hemisphere, in contrast, controls imagination and creativity. A decrease in left-hemisphere activity fits with the hypothesis that hypnosis subdues the conscious mind's inhibitory influence. Conversely, an increase in right-brain activity supports the idea that the creative, impulsive subconscious mind takes the reigns. This is by no means conclusive evidence, but it does lend credence to the idea that hypnotism opens up the subconscious mind.

Whether or not hypnosis is actually a physiological phenomenon, millions of people do practice hypnotism regularly, and millions of subjects report that it has worked on them. In the next section, we'll look at the most common methods of inducing a hypnotic trance.

You're Getting Sleepy

Hypnotists' methods vary, but they all depend on a few basic prerequisites:
The subject must want to be hypnotized.
The subject must believe he or she can be hypnotized.
The subject must eventually feel comfortable and relaxed.
If these criteria are met, the hypnotist can guide the subject into a hypnotic trance using a variety of methods. The most common hypnotic techniques are:

Fixed-gaze induction or eye fixation - This is the method you often see in movies, when the hypnotist waves a pocket watch in front of the subject.
The basic idea is to get the subject to focus on an object so intently that he or she tunes out any other stimuli. As the subject focuses, the hypnotist talks to him or her in a low tone, lulling the subject into relaxation. This method was very popular in the early days of hypnotism, but it isn't used much today because it doesn't work on a large proportion of the population.

Rapid - The idea of this method is to overload the mind with sudden, firm commands.
If the commands are forceful, and the hypnotist is convincing enough, the subject will surrender his or her conscious control over the situation. This method works well for a stage hypnotist because the novel circumstance of being up in front of an audience puts subjects on edge, making them more susceptible to the hypnotist's commands.

Progressive relaxation and imagery - This is the hypnosis method most commonly employed by psychiatrists.
By speaking to the subject in a slow, soothing voice, the hypnotist gradually brings on complete relaxation and focus, easing the subject into full hypnosis. Typically, self-hypnosis training, as well as relaxation and meditation audio tapes, use the progressive relaxation method.

Loss of balance - This method creates a loss of equilibrium using slow, rhythmic rocking.
Parents have been putting babies to sleep with this method for thousands of years.

Before hypnotists bring a subject into a full trance, they generally test his or her willingness and capacity to be hypnotized. The typical testing method is to make several simple suggestions, such as "Relax your arms completely," and work up to suggestions that ask the subject to suspend disbelief or distort normal thoughts, such as "Pretend you are weightless."

Depending on the person's mental state and personality, the entire hypnotism process can take anywhere from a few minutes to more than a half hour. Hypnotists and hypnotism proponents see the peculiar mental state as a powerful tool with a wide range of applications. In the next section, we'll look at some of the more common uses of hypnotism.

I'm Healed!

In the last section, we looked at hypnosis as a means of reversing bad habits. A related application of hypnotism is psychiatric hypnotherapy. In a therapy session, a psychiatrist may hypnotize his or her subject in order to work with deep, entrenched personal problems. The therapy may take the form of breaking negative patterns of behavior, as with mass habit-control programs. This can be particularly effective in addressing phobias, unreasonable fears of particular objects or situations. Another form of psychiatric hypnotherapy involves bringing underlying psychiatric problems up to the conscious level. Accessing fears, memories and repressed emotions can help to clarify difficult issues and bring resolution to persistent problems.
Hypnotists may also tap dormant memories to aid in law enforcement. In this practice, called forensic hypnotism, investigators access a subject's deep, repressed memories of a past crime to help identify a suspect or fill in details of the case. Since hypnotists may lead subjects to form false memories, this technique is still very controversial in the forensics world.

Another controversial form of hypnotism is medical hypnotherapy. Doctors and spiritual leaders all over the world claim that hypnotic suggestion can ease pain and even cure illness in some patients. The underlying idea behind this is that the mind and body are inextricably intertwined. When you suggest to the subconscious that the body does not feel pain, or that the body is free of disease, the subconscious may actually bring about the change.

There is a great deal of anecdotal evidence to support this idea. Using only hypnotic suggestion as an anesthetic, thousands of women have made it through childbirth with minimal pain and discomfort. Countless cancer patients swear by hypnosis, claiming that it helps to manage the pain of chemotherapy, and some former patients credit their recovery to hypnotherapy.

The success of hypnotherapy is undeniable, but many doctors argue that the hypnotic trance is not actually responsible for the positive results. In the next section, we'll see how many skeptics explain hypnotic phenomena.

Angels at Work in Your Life

2009-08-29T18:16:00.007+05:30

Most people believe in angels, but people have different ideas about them: they’re far away, they only come around to protect us, they existed more in the past, they’re a pretty decoration around the holidays, or that they’ll see them one day when they get to heaven.

So let me tell you about angels.

They are real and are around you every minute of the day, at least your guardian angels are. And yes, you have more than one. You may not know of their presence, but I can promise they are there. They will not interfere in your life except to protect you from harm if it’s not your time to go. However, they are waiting for you to ask for their help, and when you do, be ready.

Angels are made completely of love; they are messengers, guides, protectors, encouragers, supporters, gift-givers, miracle-workers, inspiring, calming agents and instructors who will gladly come instantaneously to your aid with just your thought. They have become my best buddies and I cannot imagine life without their daily guidance.

When you have an intention (thought), the universe immediately goes into action and begins to align with the vibration you sent out. This is the reason all thoughts create your life, so if you think fearful thoughts you create fearful (negative) situations, but if you think from a place of love you create wonderful (positive) experiences. That’s where the angels come in, when you create from love, for they are by your side to assist you every step of the way, if you only ask.

I am in communication with my angels, the archangels and ascended masters all day every day. We talk all day long and when I have a problem or challenge I immediately call for their guidance. Never have they let me down and they always respond in divine timing if I simply listen. Sometimes they make me laugh, sometimes they surprise me, sometimes amaze me, and always they come from love. Sometimes I just ask for them to stick around me all day because I enjoy knowing they’re nearby, or I acknowledge how much I appreciate and love them. That knowing creates a deep serenity.

I began hearing them years ago but didn’t know who or what it was. As I became aware of who was speaking to me, and that I wasn’t going crazy, it opened a whole new world for me. The beauty of it is that you can also work with your angels. Some people can hear them, some feel them, and others see them. I have been blessed with hearing, seeing and feeling them. But the key is to listen to their messages.

What is it like to work with angels?

I have called upon writing angels when I’ve been instructed to write an article or book, and amazing things come into my brain, sometimes words I’ve never used before. They have comforted me when something upsets me and have given me signs when I asked for them. It might be a feather strategically placed nearby or an appearance of a coin on the floor in front of me. (They apparently like to use those signs) I might notice that a candle flame is flickering but there is no wind or moving air. Lights may flicker, something may brush against you or you may suddenly feel warmth around you or see light from an unexplained source. You might suddenly hear a particular song on the radio that gives you insights or see certain numbers repeated over and over, perhaps the house number of the new house you haven’t seen yet but the universe is in the process of bringing to you. Here are some examples of angels at work.

1. My angels kept telling me to put my car up for sale some time ago. It was right before the holidays and not a good time to do this, at least that’s what I told them. But they persisted and I argued my “case” with them until one day I gave it up and put up the for sale sign. But guess what…months went by and no sale. Every time I’d ask them what was going on and why they told me to do this without results, they’d tell me to be patient. Yikes, that again. I finally relaxed and waited. It took a total of 6 months for the car to sell, but in the end the things that unfolded were amazing. My friend was to buy the car, but he wasn’t ready and neither was I to let go of it. Neither of us knew this part of the story at that time.
I grew a lot during the experience and it was an example of patience and trusting the process for my realtor, part of the reason for the experience. He was upset with the progress but I knew there was a bigger picture unfolding.

2. I’ve sent angels to help others when they’re having difficulties. Sometimes the person tells me they felt their presence, but even if they don’t I know they are there. How? Because the situation resolves in amazing ways that often surprises the other person. Or perhaps I asked for peace to envelop the person without their knowledge, and when we talked later they mention how an unbelievable feeling of peace surrounded them suddenly, about the same time I sent it via the angels. The angels want us to be happy and enjoy life, so they will do everything they can to help us, always in ways that will raise us up into higher levels, if we simply ask. They love to make us smile!

3. I might ask for insights or clarity and within a short period of time things come to me that I would have never thought of. That’s why I said earlier to be ready if you ask for their help. Sometimes they keep me awake during the night with so many thoughts and ideas. I’ve asked them why they do it then and they just smile and say “all is well.” And you know what? Even if I hardly receive any sleep I’m always fine!

4. One day I was driving my car and although I knew my petrol was getting low it had slipped my busy mind and I had driven almost the entire way home before realizing I hadn’t stopped for petrol. This wasn’t my usual pattern and as I set out a couple hours later for another destination, I noticed almost immediately that my low petrol light had come on. Since my car was quite new and I had never let it get this low before, I wasn’t sure how much petrol I had left. I will admit I felt a little panicky for a moment since I was nowhere near a petrol pump and kind of out in the country. But I caught my thoughts and shifted to asking for the angels help. I continued driving and suddenly noticed that the low petrol light wasn’t on anymore and the needle had risen to a higher level than before. Now I’ve heard stories like this before but this was a first for me. I chuckled all the way to the petrol pump and continued to thank my angels for their help throughout the day. The petrol gauge needle never went lower the rest of the trip to the petrol pum. There was no doubt in my mind that my angels had worked here.

Here’s an important key.

When the angels help you, or even as you call upon them for assistance, thank them immediately, even before the request has been granted. They want to feel your appreciation and they should receive it.

Help and guidance are a thought away

They await you now. Ask them to make their presence known to you, or ask for more awareness of spiritual insights. Ask them to bring you the desires of your heart as long as those desires come from a place of love. They will bring you what you desire, or something better! Do you need help with making a decision? Are you longing for a life partner? Would a different job work for you but you don’t know how to find it? Are you concerned about finances? Are peace and serenity something you would cherish at this time? Ask for your angels to bring it to you, for they are waiting for you to ask.

All of my work – energy work, speaking, writing – is a direct result of my communication with my angels. I wish this for you, and when you open to it you will be amazed how your life becomes extraordinary from that moment on.

Encounter Stressful Times In Life

2009-08-29T18:10:00.004+05:30

“Today, like every other day, we wake up empty

and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study

and begin reading. Take down the dulcimer.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.

There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”

When you encounter stressful times in life, it is important that you take care of your spiritual wellbeing the same way you attend to your physical health. Spiritual health is a vital ingredient in maintaining a happy, healthy, energized and vibrant life.
With so many economic challenges and negative, fear-based media coverage, it is imperative to take some quality time for yourself and ensure that you are giving yourself the care your body, mind and soul require. Just 10 minutes in the morning and evening spend in meditation can drastically reduce stress, eating healthy food, yoga and Reiki can assist you in combating stress and helping you to stay grounded, focused and aware.

The following article written by Jeffry Palmer is a wonderful, quick read and provides a check-list for you to access your spiritual well-being. Once you are conscious of limiting patterns it is easier to correct them. The fist step towards wellness and freedom is awareness. Once you are aware of your energy blocks, you can take action towards creating and maintaining a harmonious and healthy life.

Spiritual Health Checklist

Most of us are unaware of the health of our spirit or life energy. We go about our daily business without ever giving a second thought to this very vital part of our lives. For the majority of people, spiritual health is intangible, invisible the notion of the spirit is purely an idea or abstract concept, not a thing that can be monitored and measured easily like blood pressure or insulin levels. Yet our spiritual health is just as real and important as any other measurement of our well being.
Lacking the modern devices and technology used to track physical illness, we must rely upon a routine of self examination and introspection in order to gauge the health level of our spiritual selves.
The following checklist has been designed to help determine whether your spiritual health is in need of attention.

1. You find yourself more in agreement with negative points of view.
2. You are easily irritated or agitated, small things annoy you.
3. Beliefs that once seemed impeccable seem to have let you down.
4. You feel drained or tired most of the time.
5. Hobbies and interests seem less enjoyable.
6. You relive past events trying to determine when things went wrong.
7. Migraines and other ailments occur more frequently.
8. When you should be relaxing, you feel uncomfortable and nervous.
9. There always seems to be a void in your life which must be filled

Any or all of these issues may point to a serious need to address your spiritual health and well being. Considering the important role which spiritual health plays in our overall sense of happiness and fulfillment as well as the direct connection between spiritual wellness and physical health it is unfortunate that more attention is not paid to this vital area.

When the spiritual self is injured, the mind and body suffer. Take some time to examine your life path, your beliefs and expectations. Consider practicing meditation or other relaxation techniques to reduce stress and anxiety. Make a point of self evaluating the strength of your spirituality and take steps to connect or reconnect with the sense of wonder and mystery of life.

Examine your beliefs. Are your beliefs working for you? Is it possible that the beliefs that you have held for so long are actually damaging your spirit?

Of course it is. We often inherit the beliefs of our ancestors, community and cultures. Many times these beliefs simply are not compatible with we intrinsically know to be true. The resulting inner conflict can result in a sort of spiritual flu, an illness which we carry often for a lifetime and we can never seem to shake. No matter how good things may seem to be going, we always feel a certain kind of emptiness. Examine your beliefs and your entire belief system; do not be afraid to throw out any beliefs which feel at all uncomfortable. Your spirit will thank you.

Intentional Focus: Your Happiness, Your Success and the Law of Attraction

2009-08-29T17:16:00.004+05:30

What have you been focusing on lately? On how well life is going for you? Or on how much business you’ve been doing compared to last year, or how well your superiors have been rating you? Or on how much your partner loves you and how much you revel in the relationship you’re having? On the excellent state of your bank account? On your ever-present good health and slim and trim physique? Or on the joy you experience each time you sit down to dinner with your teenage children? On the wonderful vacation you came back from recently and the even more exciting one you are planning for the near future? Or on the good way you feel about yourself and all the things you are creating and doing with your life?

What You Think is What You Are

I can just hear you spluttering. “What kind of romantic thinking is this? Where do these ideas come from? I don’t know anybody who thinks like that.”

True. Most people don’t think like that. In fact, most people think the exact opposite of that. Most people concentrate on all the things that are going wrong with their lives. Most people spend much of their time thinking about their problems and wondering how they are going to solve them. Most people think about all the things that could go wrong with their lives or about the people or events that stand in the way of their success. Most people think and think and think about whatever it is that worries them, because they believe that that is the way to resolve the problem. The fact is that most people focus so much on what they are afraid of, or what bothers them, or what stresses them, or what they don’t know how to solve, that they are giving all or most of their conscious and subconscious energy to a negative outcome – the problem.

What Kind of an Outcome Do You Want?

Consider this: the more you give your energy to one thing, the more that thing has a possibility of coming into being. If you concentrate on getting a university degree, you will most likely achieve that goal. If you concentrate on writing a book, you will again probably achieve that goal. But what happens if you continually tell yourself, while you are concentrating on getting the degree, that you are not intelligent enough to pass the exams, or that you simply are incapable of understanding the course material? And what happens, if you continually tell yourself while you are concentrating on writing the book, that you will never be able to write well, or that your story is not good enough? Obviously you are not only undermining yourself and sabotaging your desired outcomes, but you may also be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Focus and Intention

So what can you do? Let’s assume you are convinced that you lack the intelligence to pass the exams. Or that you are convinced that you will never write well. You have a goal, and that goal is to get a degree or to write a book. In order to focus on that goal, your mission is to ensure that your thoughts are aligned with – or intentionally focused on - that goal. Therefore, whenever your thoughts stray from the goal into negative territory, you need to pull them back into the arena of positive results.

Goals and Fears

But focusing on a desired goal is very hard for a very simple reason: we are far too used to focusing on the fears surrounding the goal (I am so afraid I will never have a great relationship, rather than imagining in your mind’s eye the great relationship in the way you want it to be; or how will I ever get that promotion rather than imagining in your mind’s eye the way you will feel when you do get the hoped-for promotion).

How to Focus

So how do you focus? When you worry, and your mind goes around and around a problem, or some stress in your life, you are very focused on the problem. It is exactly at that moment that you need to re-focus and see your desired goal or outcome in your mind’s eye, rather than all the problems you associate with it. The more time you spend on whatever it is you want to have in your life – whether this is a material goal, a professional goal, a relational goal, or whatever – makes absolutely no difference, the more you will be in a position to achieve it, to attract it into your life. The more you think – and focus – on that goal in a positive way, the more you allow yourself to "feel" the way you would feel if you already had the results, the more likely it is that you will attain your desired outcome. This is the Law of Attraction.

Intentionally Re-focus on the Positive

Remember: the time you spend worrying about the desired outcome is time spent focusing on the opposite of what you want, so become very aware of all your thoughts and focus them in the right direction. Do this consistently each time you catch yourself thinking the negative version of your goals until intentionally re-focusing on the positive becomes second nature. This habit is like strengthening a muscle, if you do it every day, it will happen more and more frequently and naturally, and soon you will find that not only do the majority of your thoughts and feelings focus on the positive direction of your goals, but that those positive goals become part of your reality.

Being Happy is a Choice

2009-08-29T17:15:00.002+05:30

Our purpose in life is to be happy. That's why we are here. We spend much of our lives pursuing what we believe will make us happy, but what we fail to realize is that happiness is a feeling and just thinking about what makes you happy will give you that feeling. You don't need any thing to make you feel happy, you only need the thought and you will experience the happiness.

If you want a new job, imagine being in the position you want and earning the salary you desire; by doing so, you already have the feeling of happiness even before you get the job. Of course, you still want to get the job, since you can't go shopping with your feelings, but the end result is already yours. You have already created the job, in your mind, by having the feeling. All you must do is to allow it to materialize and take the steps you feel are necessary. You might want to brush up on your skills so when your interview comes around you are more qualified and prepared.

The sense of accomplishment, opportunity to work at something you love and the increased income, which you associate with your new job, are created by thoughts. Thoughts are real and will attract that situation, or a similar one, into your life. On the other hand, since you already have the happy feeling, you might decide you like your current job. Either way you can't lose since, no matter what the outcome, you're already happy.

To quote Wallace Wattles from The Science of Getting Rich,"Man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; he must form a clear mental picture of the things he wants, and hold this picture in his thoughts with the fixed PURPOSE to get what he wants, and the unwavering FAITH that he does get what he wants, closing his mind against all that may tend to shake his purpose, dim his vision, or quench his faith."

We were all born happy. As small children we played, laughed and giggled throughout the day. We didn't need anyone to tell us what we desired; in fact, we were willing to throw tantrums in order to get our way. We ate what we wanted and did as we pleased; resisting, without hesitation, anything we didn't like. At that young age, when we became unhappy, we protested wholeheartedly by crying, kicking, screaming or trying to run away. Happiness was so essential to us then, we were willing to put 100 percent of our energy into anything that would help us attain and preserve our happy state. If we wanted a toy and it was given to us, we were delighted and totally content. If our plaything was taken from us, it became an overwhelming tragedy.

As we got older, we learned to accept that which didn't make us happy--setting aside what we really desired. In addition, we learned that there are things we must do whether we liked it or not; that's just the way life is. That was the lie we chose to believe, but it's not the way life is supposed to be. You don't have to accept or settle for anything. All you have to do is to have the intention to be happy, remember how it feels to be happy, and decide that you are happy.

Quieting the Mind Opening the Heart

2009-08-29T17:06:00.003+05:30

To put it simply, the act of meditation involves quieting the mind so you can open the heart. That's it in a nutshell.

We often believe our hearts are open and we can feel much of what is going on in our lives. Yet to truly open the heart means we have to stop the thinking, the judging, the opinions, the analyzing, the questioning, the doubting, and just love. It's all that unconditional stuff. The act of doing this, takes practice and patience. Learning to meditate means learning to love. To love our self. To love all others. To love the oneness of all. To love more.

The connection you feel when you 'plug in' to this oneness is the most irresistible state of love you will ever feel. Makes it sound like it's worth the effort doesn't it? Maybe you've had glimpses of this - moments when you felt it, and your heart expanded. The beauty of nature in a spectacular sunset or a magnificent rushing waterfall, a child's innocent embrace, a long awaited accomplishment, an exhilarating sport or excursion, being with the one you love.

These can make you 'feel' in the biggest sense of the word. And the feeling can be described as wonderfully peaceful, coupled with a glorious uplifting, a lightening up of the heart. What these experiences all have in common is an external factor. Something had to be there, something had to be seen, in order to involve our senses. These 'things' serve to trigger this feeling.

Meditation serves the same purpose. It teaches you to connect with this feeling all on your own, without any outside stimuli. The source of that loving feeling is always within you. But what happens most often is that you don't know how to access it on our own. You wait for the triggers, look for the triggers, and in fact even seek out the triggers, because you believe they are the source.

When you quiet your mind, you are closing down the outside stimuli. You are holding the mirror up to yourself, deep within yourself, and waiting to see/feel the love. It's there, but the practice is necessary to learn to wait quietly, build patience, and stroke and nurture your loving heart.

Most of us have shy hearts and loud minds, and meditation serves to reverse this so we can truly feel the bliss and the joy and the 'highs' we so crave in our lives. Now, meditation can be made to be much more complicated than what I have described. There are countless books, tapes, courses and workshops that deal with the core principles of meditation, and then expand upon them. They go into many, many aspects, avenues, theories, understandings, types, etc. It can be quite overwhelming for the beginner. But it's perfect for the intermediate student of meditation.

When you are beginning, the less said the better. Keeping it simple is very important, because the process of meditation is so simple. If it's not working, or if you want to know more about it, or you are ready to know more about it, then by all means read, study, learn. It's like taking the same route to the supermarket every day and then finding out there are other ways of getting there, other roads that lead there, other journeys you can take.

Study and practice of meditation has the potential to open up many layers of your heart. Everything in your life therefore opens up with it. Relationships bloom, work purpose is found, vibrant health is allowed, because love affects your belief system, your attitudes, your choices. Anger dissolves before it ever manifests, frustration mellows out, the pit of sadness and depression are filled up like never before. These are the promises of meditation. These are the long-term rewards. But in the beginning, meditation is simply quieting your mind so you can open your heart.

Planting Seeds of Prosperity

2009-08-27T20:52:00.003+05:30

The more you study abundance and prosperity principles, the more you come to realize that your state of mind plays a very large role in your financial wellness. Even a tiny shift in perspective is often enough to change everything - from the inside out!

With this in mind, I'd like to share a little game that can help you feel more prosperous on a regular basis. It's called the "Prosperity Seed Game."

Before I go into the details, let me ask you a question: How do you feel when you accidentally find some money? Whether you stumble across a one-dollar bill lying on the ground or an extra $10 buried in the bottom of your purse, you likely feel excited and happy about your good fortune, right?

The Prosperity Seed Game can help you feel that way much more often!

Here's how to do it:

- You'll need some money to get started, at least a few dollars but more if you can afford it. If you can, try using larger denominations of cash, like rs.5, rs.10, rs.20 or even bigger. (If you can't swing the bigger bills, it's okay to start with

rs.1 bills.)

- Now, take those bills (a.k.a. "prosperity seeds") - and PLANT them! Hide one in the glovebox of your car, in your extra purses or wallets, in the pocket of a suit you don't wear too frequently, or in the pockets of your off-season coats and jackets. You want to put them in places you don't see every day so it will be a genuine surprise when you rediscover them!

- Once you've got your "prosperity seeds" planted, do your best to forget about them. Put the whole game out of your mind.

- As often as you can, recite an affirmation like this: "Money is flowing effortlessly into my life from all directions; thank you!" Really get into the state of FEELING very grateful, lucky, abundant and blessed as you say it!

- When you do find some money (whether a bill you planted or money from elsewhere), get excited! Allow yourself to feel like the luckiest person on the planet! Scream with joy, "Woo hoo, money really IS coming to me from all directions, thank you thank you thank you!" The more positive energy you can generate, the better.

- As time goes on and you rediscover more of your "prosperity seeds," make it a point to plant more of them! You can even re-plant the same seeds if you like.

The whole point of this game is to make you FEEL prosperous and grateful about the good fortune flowing into your life. According to the Law of Attraction, the more you feel that way the more true it will be!

In fact, you may discover something interesting about this game. Not only will you find the money you've "planted" along the way, but if your experience is anything like mine (and other people I've shared this game with before), you'll also start finding money everywhere else too! It may start small with a few coins here and there, but before long you're finding bigger denominations and even attracting other forms of abundance into your life from all directions.

If you think you're prosperous, allow yourself to feel prosperous and believe you ARE prosperous, guess what you'll be? Prosperous!

Prosperity Attraction made easy! Attracting greater prosperity into your life is as simple as learning how to avoid BLOCKING the natural flow of energy through your life. Discover simple prosperity strategies that really WORK - and heal your relationship with money forever!

when you are owning your power ?

2009-08-24T13:21:00.003+05:30

Who are you when you are owning your power; when your are living from your center, your bigness, your authentic self? When we step into our true power we shine from the inside out. We feel solid and grounded while light and flexible at the same time. We rise above judgmental thinking; those right and wrong, good and bad dichotomies. We stop 'shoulding' ourselves and others. We breathe and relax. We find our neutrality and compassion. We stop pushing too hard and beating ourselves up and instead move into the flow of life and allow bigger possibilities to bubble forth.

Our true power emanates from deep within our core and when unobstructed, it lights the way to abundance, affinity and freedom. It's only when we let our smaller selves rule that we get stuck with invalidation, doubt and fear. We project this out onto others and the world, and before you know it we're swimming in a cesspool of you know what.

So why do we slip into this unsightly state when it brings us nothing but strife and disappointment? Are we truly that masochistic? I don't think so. It's just that we forget who we are and how to shift back into our inner power. We let the muck cover our eyes and we lose our true sight. But thankfully, we always have a choice and with a little awareness we can choose again in every moment.

Here are some reflective questions to bring insights into your awareness:

• Where are you operating from in your life right now? Are you standing in your power or are you letting your smaller self rule the day?

• How do you know when you are living from your center and owning your power? How do you feel emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually? What are your cues when you are letting your smaller self rule? How do you feel, think, and behave towards yourself and others?

• What helps you to shift from your small self to your big self? What supports you in owning your power?

Here are some inspiring ideas to try:

• Tune into what it feels like to be centered and owning your power. Write down how you feel about yourself and the world from this place. Write down the benefits of living from this state.

• Brainstorm a list of what triggers and motivates you to slip into your small self. What needs are you trying to meet? List all the payoffs and then the consequences. Ask yourself if it's worth it. If it's not, explore all the ways you can shift back into your power and make a commitment to use these when needed.

• Spend 5 - 10 minutes imagining what your life would be like if you truly lived from your power instead of your small self. Connect with your bigger self and notice how you feel physically and emotionally. Notice your thoughts and beliefs. See yourself at work, with significant others and out in the world. Let the feelings and energy of owning your power flow through your body and vibrate down to the cellular level.

With breath begins our journey of life...!

2009-08-23T21:17:00.009+05:30

With breath begins our journey of life. But as we breathe incessantly, taking it for granted, we develop bad breathing habits. Here are some tips on how to correct them for total well-being

"When Alexander, the world-conqueror, was about to pass away, he was prepared to give half his kingdom to anybody who gave him a single day of his own life. Finally, during his last moments, he offered his entire kingdom in exchange for a single breath, to no avail. He said: "In creating the empire I spent countless millions of breaths; and the empire cannot purchase for me a single breath in return!"

Breath. The root of our existence. Tirelessly, unimpeded, it flows in all the pathways of our body, hiding in the secret, inner recesses. Not a single pause. Loud and noisy if you're angry. Agitated, it heaves the chest. Slow and steady if you're calm.

FUNCTION

Do we realize that it is this very breath, humble yet vital, which is actually controlling all our responses—physical, mental and emotional? When you are in the mother's womb, it keeps you alive. The connecting cord breathes. It sustains you inside and prepares you for the outside world. As children we breathe deeply, filling the lower abdomen and expanding the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a parachute-shaped structure with a dome, located just below the heart, and attached to the sides and front of the inner rib cage and the tip of the breastbone. At the back of the dome there are long muscles or crura, which run along the front of the spinal column and act as anchors for the parachute. In healthy breathing, the diaphragm moves without restriction, descending as we inhale and ascending as we exhale.

But as we grow older, we are so engrossed in the race for survival that we forget to breathe properly, and breathing tends to get shallower. We stop using the abdominal muscles, then the diaphragm. The lungs don't fill completely with air. Eventually the breath barely reaches the top of the lungs and stays mainly in the throat, leading to depletion of oxygen in the body. Taoists believe that this loss of oxygen is the primary cause of memory loss in the elderly.

CORRECT WAY

What exactly is normal rate of breathing and how should we go about attaining it? Notes Dennis Lewis in The Tao of Natural Breathing: "Our inhalation and exhalation cycle is 12-14 times a minute when we are awake and six to eight times a minute when we are asleep. A baby breathes at about twice these rates." Not only does breath have its regular cycle, it can change radically with different activities. For instance, after extreme physical activity it can go up to 100 times a minute. But serious and correct breathers can breathe four to eight times a minute, as they take in more oxygen and expel more carbon dioxide with each exhalation and inhalation.

In Patanjali Yoga Sutra, rishi Patanjali has given the correct way of breathing for a healthier and longer life. This is the Three Step Rhythmic Breathing (3 SRB)—three steps being technique, volume, and rhythm. Revived by the late S.N. Tavaria in Mumbai, this technique is taught today in Gamdevi temple of south Mumbai. In 3 SRB, the chest and abdomen have to rise and fall simultaneously, lungs filled to normal capacity, and the correct rhythm followed, involving three seconds to inhale and two seconds to exhale.

TAOISTS KNEW IT TOO

But Indians were not alone in deciphering the correct way to breathe. Taoists were also aware of a life-sustaining force in the air. Apart from its major components of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, Taoists also discovered ions—floating charged particles. The air high up in the mountains has the maximum concentration of ions.

That is why, apart from the serenity and isolation, many Taoists lived in the mountains of China. The most important are negative ions, which supply the electric current within our body's cells. In the cities nowadays, these ions are depleted by pollution and constricting spaces. Any depletion in these negative ions makes us weak and depressed.

Since it's not possible for all of us to live in the mountains, the Chi machines are a boon for city dwellers. Though still relatively unknown in India, in China these machines are in widespread use, especially in hospitals. They are high-end ionizers, which spew out negative ions. In Japan and the West, they duplicate as air cleaners with blower motors.

Negative ions attach themselves to anything floating in the air and cause the pollutants to fall out. Chi machines, it has been proved, are excellent devices for allergy sufferers. And in USA, they are used in space programs. Research has shown that ionizers in space capsules keep the astronauts alert and energized. Evidently, the movement of breath regulates the body.

SMOOTH FLOW

So how is this related to health and well-being? Feel the tight spots in your neck and shoulders, pain in your back, sore muscles or aching legs. These are the places where the energy doesn't flow smoothly. Breath encompasses inner growth also. Before looking for answers, it is essential to understand the intimate relationship between mind and body, the many powerful and subtle ways in which they influence each other.

All our physical and psychological responses are accompanied by a change in breathing. Surprised, and a gasp immediately follows. If you're stressed out, there will be a different breathing pattern. Writes Donna Farhi, New Zealander yoga teacher, in Holding Your Breath (Yoga Journal, April 1996): "Stress may be real or imagined. Just imagining a stressful event can reduce inhalation volume. When we are continuously exposed to stress, then the body just forgets to relax." Obviously, the breathing pattern changes, and "it just might become a statement about what happened in the past rather then what is happening to us in the present".

But what exactly are we doing wrong? Donna explains: "There is not one correct way to breathe. But there are common ways in which people restrict their breathing." Obstructing breath means cutting ourselves off from the most vital source of human energy. Only when we free our respiratory process, we breathe in the manner fitting for each situation.

This brings us to pranayama (yogic breathing techniques). Renowned yoga teacher B.K.S. Iyengar, in his book Light on Pranayama, says: "Prana is the energy permeating the universe at all levels-physical, mental, intellectual, sexual, spiritual and cosmic energy. It is usually translated as breath. Thus pranayama is an art and has techniques to make the respiratory organs move and expand intentionally, rhythmically and intensively." In these techniques, there is a long, sustained flow of inhalation, exhalation and retention of breath. Thus, the flow of prana is regulated along with thoughts, desires and actions, which gives poise and tremendous will power to master oneself. Opines Donna: "Pranayama strengthens and refines breathing. But most of us practice pranayama without addressing underlying breath-holding habits. Paradoxically, pranayama frequently suppresses deep-seated fears and insecurities."

SPOT CHECK

Then what is the correct way to breathe? Do we need to relearn breathing? Learning to breathe is a deconstruction process, not a technique to improve breathing. We identify and let go of existing things, which restrict the natural flow of breath.

Perform a subtle check whether the breath is disordered or restricted.

Sit comfortably in a chair, back straight and feet firmly planted on the ground. Quietly observe your breath. Ask yourself the following questions and wait for your reactions. Don't worry if they are vague or blurry. Over a period of time, the sensations will become clear and defined.

Where do I feel my breathing? To find out, place one hand on your abdomen and the other on the upper chest. Feel the point of origin of breath. Let your perceptions come through. Don't overlook any small movement. Do you feel any particular area where the breath is more noticeable? What does my breathing feel like? Is it rough, jerky, labored, rhythmic? Let any words or images arise. Make a note of them. How fast do I breathe? Without altering the number of breaths, count the number of times you breathe in and out per minute when sitting quietly. Remember, an inhalation and exhalation makes one cycle. And no cheating! Now you're on track, so proceed further.

Contract your diaphragm. It helps you feel how your diaphragm responds to stress. And identify when you are contracting and restricting free movement of this muscle. Adopt any posture, which is comfortable: sit, stand or lie down. Place one hand on your abdomen. Relax the muscles in your body and feel the movement of the diaphragm. As the diaphragm lies deep in your body, you will feel only surface movements. Quickly clench the fist of the other hand. Did you feel the parachute jump under your hand? When the outer muscles prepare themselves for reaction, inner muscles automatically follow suit.

COMMON BREATH-HOLDING PATTERNS

Now that you are familiar with your breathing pattern, let's look at ways in which most of us restrict it. You can crosscheck with your breathing habits.

Reverse Breathing

In correct breathing, the diaphragm descends during inhalation and downward pressure causes the abdomen to billow outwards. Breathing out, the diaphragm moves up into the chest, causing a slight drawing inwards and upwards through the abdomen. Whereas in reverse breathing, the abdomen moves in on inhalation and out on exhalation. This kind of breathing often arises from the habit of wearing restrictive clothing or tight belts, which makes it impossible for the abdomen to expand during any breathing phase.

Effect on body/mind

Since reverse breathing causes confusion in the diaphragm, it also results in mental disorientation. Reverse breathers often feel clumsy and uncoordinated. Hence, chronic tension in your upper body, especially around the back of the neck, upper shoulder, upper back, and jaw area.

Identify it

Watch the movement of your breath. See if you can identify reverse breathing movements when you breathe in or out. How to change patterns Slow down so that you can become more aware of the reversal in breathing pattern. Relax your abdomen. Consciously allow the abdomen to move out on inhalation and move in on exhalation. No force, let it take its own path.

Chest Breathing

This is probably the most common breathing pattern in today's stress-filled society. Also known as paradoxical breathing, it is a natural reflex when we are suddenly startled or frightened. We gasp, pull the abdomen in and breathe high into the chest. The lift of the abdomen and pelvic floor prevents the diaphragm from descending completely as we inhale. Chest breathers restrict breath movement in the abdomen, forcing it higher up into the chest, while shoulders move up and down.

Effect on mind/body

Chest breathers rely on weak upper body muscles. Thereby developing chronic tension in thoracic spine, shoulders and neck. Moreover, this tension is resistant to massage or any other relaxation therapy as it recapitulates the moment the person resumes chest breathing, which is an incredible 22,000 times a day! Since we can't breathe in fully, we can't breathe out fully also. So we resort to breathing more quickly to make up for lack of oxygen. Scarier still is the fact that it sets the stage for an even more serious breathing problem: hyperventilation. Chest breathers normally sit on the edge of their seats and exude anticipation in their entire bearing. They never seem to have enough time to do all the tasks they set out on and often experience a chronic, free-floating state of anxiety. Scientific evidence now points to the connection between chest breathing, heart disease and high blood pressure.

Identify it

Place one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest. Observe the movement of both. If both your shoulders and chest are rising, you are probably not a chest breather. A chest breather suppresses breath in the lower abdomen, forcing it to move higher up into the body.

How to let go

Relax your shoulders and upper back. Consciously follow normal breathing pattern. Mentally assess yourself. Ground yourself in the present.

Hyperventilation

As this breathing pattern develops out of chest breathing, it is more restrictive. When the diaphragm can't descend completely during inhalation, it reduces space in the chest, limiting lung capacity. Hence, less oxygen is taken in with each breath. In this habit we tend to breathe quickly.

Effect on mind/body

First of all, hyperventilation makes us lose too much carbon dioxide from the body, the most crucial ingredient in helping us maintain an acid-alkaline balance of the blood (about pH 7.40). With the result that the metabolism shifts from acid to alkaline. Dr Robert Fried, author of The Breath Connection, states that it restricts brain arteries and makes nerves and muscles hyperactive, leads to headache, lack of concentration, dizziness, breathlessness, cold hands and feet and inappropriate responses.

Identify it

Take frequent note of your breath while performing any activity. You may be surprised to discover that most often, it is accelerated even in the most sedentary activity. Watch your inhalation and exhalation also. You may sigh, yawn or shallow breathe.

How to let go

Focus on increasing your exhalation. Decelerate some of your activities. Your breathing will mirror the rate at which you do things. Write some letters by hand instead of typing them. Try to do some menial work every day. Any rhythmic, repetitive task will repace breathing. Always question: is there actually any need to hurry in any task?

Breath Grabbing

Our breath has three parts: exhalation, pause, inhalation. Breath grabbers grasp the next breath without taking a pause. This pause results in a sense of ease, surrender, and relaxation. Breath grabbers are also the kind of people who finish other people's sentences for them. They also feel that if they don't jump in or reach out for what they want, then they'll miss out or be left behind.

How to let go

Observe your breathing as you listen to others. Let other people finish their sentences. Pause consciously before you speak, even at the ring of the bell or a glimpse of your favorite color.

Rejuvenate

Most often, breathing becomes restrictive because the nervous system becomes used to a particular way of breathing. Changing breathing patterns requires courage, honesty and a willingness to proceed further. First identify the reasons, which restrict breathing. Next, hold your breath and disengage from the holding pattern. Consciously try to relax the tense areas.

Because of the intimate connection between the breath and the mind, watching the breath has been used as a meditation technique for eons, most prominently in Vipassana, which the Buddha is said to have taught himself and which in our time has been popularized by S.N. Goenka. Speaking precisely, watching the breath is the first stage in Vipassana, and it is called Anapana. It quietens down the mind sufficiently to graduate to Vipassana, observing bodily sensations.

"Any form of meditation, even the quiet observation of your breath, is a union with your innerself. It helps in expanding our consciousness and mingling with the infinite source of light and wisdom. Thus, creating a balance and enriching life," writes R. Venugopalan in The Art of Breathing.

Elucidates Lewis: "When we are able to breathe through our whole body, sensing our verticality from head to foot, we are aligning ourselves with the natural flow of energy connecting heaven and earth." This increases oxygen intake, promotes efficiency in the entire breathing mechanism, revitalizes all the cells, tissues, and body organs and eliminates toxins. At the psychological level, it helps us relax, focus on our inner self and get "accurate and complete impressions" of our body, mind and soul. Soon, emotions and attitude will change and any negativity will lose its hold. Breath on, for if it stops, the body becomes inert. Life ends...

BREATH WISE WITH 3 SRB

2009-08-23T21:07:00.009+05:30

Break away from unhealthy breathing habits with the use of the simple, ancient technique of Three Step Rhythmic Breathing

You breathe every second of your life. But did you ever stop to wonder if you were breathing the right way? Or for that matter, did you know that the way you breathe can affect your blood circulation, energy levels, sleep patterns, moods, anxiety levels, your thought processes, indeed your entire existence? It's also true that your breathing will be strongly affected by your lifestyle and the way you cope with stress—real or imagined. So if you are hooked on to junk food, love to work late hours, stress your mind beyond its limit and are usually tense, then your breathing can become distorted, strained or shallow, reducing the inhalation volume and affecting your entire system in the process.

Anger, fear, shock and depression also adversely affect breathing, which further affects every aspect of your health-mental, emotional and physical. We can break away from unhealthy breathing patterns and breathe our way to better health.

THREE STEP RHYTHMIC BREATHING

Ancient wisdom recognized the link between good health and breathing. There are various asanas in yoga that aid in correct breathing. There are also a number of breathing exercises like pranayama. However, these can be practiced for a short span of time and cannot help us to establish a correct pattern of breathing for all times. Here we can turn our attention to Sage Patanjali's teachings, which stress the importance of Three Step Rhythmic Breathing (3 SRB), a breathing pattern that helps us "breathe in rhythm with nature".

It is important to realize that 3 SRB is not a breathing exercise or an aid to correct breathing but is simply the natural way of breathing—one that we were born with. This is evident if we observe the breathing pattern of a healthy newborn who has the same rhythm of 3 SRB, albeit a bit faster. Somewhere along the way we lose track of this natural, rhythmic way of breathing and bring a host of problems to bear upon us.

A conscious and focused practice of 3 SRB will guide us back to this rhythmic way of breathing. The three steps of 3 SRB involve the technique, volume and rhythm of breathing.

TECHNIQUE

• While breathing, both your chest and abdomen should rise and fall simultaneously.

• The chest will require more air because of the space created by the rib cage.

• The abdomen should not be blown up unnaturally during inhalation.

• To figure out if you are breathing correctly, get a friend to observe you or lie down before a mirror with two heavy books, one on the chest and the other on the abdomen.

• Check if both move together.

• Our habit of breathing from the lower part of the chest results in shallow breathing, depriving the body of much needed oxygen.

VOLUME

• When you breathe in, it is particularly important to note that the breath flows freely and fully from neck to navel. This simply means that the middle and lower abdomen should be filled to normal capacity.

• The volume of breath intake during 3 SRB should be the same as the intake during normal breathing.

• Continuous deep, heavy breathing can exhaust a person and is not recommended in 3 SRB.

• Initially, to establish the rhythm, your breath will be deeper, but once you are comfortable with 3 SRB and the volume of air that is to be drawn in, the breath will become normal.

RHYTHM

• To establish the correct rhythm of breathing, inhalation should take three seconds and exhalation two seconds.

• To keep to the pattern of rhythmic breathing, do not retain the breath between inhaling and exhaling.

• One complete breath takes five seconds or six pulse beats. The exact rhythm is to count 1-2-3 while inhaling and 5-6 while exhaling-4 is not counted.

• Unlike breathing exercises, in normal breathing rhythm, the duration of inhalation is longer than that of exhalation.

To master 3 SRB, you must consciously work to complete 12 cycles of breath in a minute. Inhale to the count of 3, exhale to the count of 2, and repeat the cycle 12 times in one minute. Initially, as you sit down to observe your breathing pattern, you will find that you probably breathe beyond 18 cycles per minute. This can be reduced to the mandatory 12 breaths a minute with the practice of 3 SRB.

To start with, this rhythmic breathing can be practiced for a fixed duration during the day or night, till you learn to continue breathing in this manner all 24 hours of the day. You can work to increase the duration of your practice time by five minutes every fortnight till one hour of conscious 3 SRB is reached by six months. The time that it takes to turn this practice into a lifelong habit will vary from person to person.

It could take anything from two years to a lifetime. To facilitate this process, you can practice 3 SRB to taped music. Special tapes are available for this purpose. The advantage of working with 3 SRB in this manner is that soft music can play in the background, and you can practice rhythmic breathing even as you are lying, sitting, standing, walking or busying yourself with any mechanical chore. It is a good habit to switch on the soft, taped music at night and fall asleep while you practice 3 SRB.

This is to establish a continuity of 3 SRB from waking to sleeping hours and get you further habituated to breathing in this manner for a longer time. People spend a lifetime acquiring incorrect breathing habits, so you might find yourself slipping back into breathing the wrong way. Conscious striving and focused attention on the breath will help you get habituated to 3 SRB.

The more depressed you are, the dimmer are your chances of attaining this rhythm. If we sustain rhythmic breathing during situations that challenge and over-stimulate us, its positive effect on the blood circulation, thought processes, and indeed the whole neurophysiological system, will prevent impulsive or uncontrolled responses, helping us to act with calm deliberation.

I first came across this technique in 1993. It has helped me achieve a certain control over stray thoughts and focused my concentration. I also listen to the music cassettes on rhythmic breathing before sleeping. Besides quieting and regularizing the whole body-brain system, rhythmic breathing refines the thinking process and frees us from thoughts conditioned due to various extreme experiences. It further opens up higher possibilities of receiving new sources of energy.

Auric Clearings

2009-08-22T16:48:00.002+05:30

Before a person goes through the DNA Activation process, he or she should 'clean up' their energy field as much as possible. Most people have many unseen energy blockages that we can identify and remove using techniques that absolve auric attachments on all 15 levels of awareness. The Auric Clearing process removes discordant energies, occupants, discarnates, and negative thoughtforms that you have accumulated in this life and all other past lives. These energies are sometimes so strong that they really start to run a person's life. For example, have you ever had an argument with your mate and they said something so bizarre that you didn't know where it came from? As if it was someone else talking. Well, it probably WASN'T them. It was one of their entities talking. Due to the karma we have incurred in thousands of years, some of these entities are still hanging around us, tied to this karma. They still believe that an oath, agreement, or contract that we made with them in the past is still valid NOW. Until these things are removed, you are at the mercy of their desires.

In an Auric Clearing, we systematically scan the person's light body, and remove these things as we go. We transmute the negative energies to obtain a quantum release, where the issue is permanently resolved and unplugged from the neural networks in the brain. This is truly 'psyche' surgery, and is much more powerful than traditional psychology or psychotherapy. The Auric Clearing sessions are a 'high', and frequently the person feels like tremendous weights have been lifted. Once the negative energies are gone, these are replaced with golden soul fragments that represent new templates, new cords, and new opportunities!

Often, people with severe health problems that these negative energies have manifested in their life become well shortly after having a session. For example, one person with a lot of stored up anger may manifest a very acidic stomach problem. Once the original underlying belief or entity responsible for this anger is removed, the PH of the stomach turns more alkaline and eventually goes back into balance. And 20 years of stomach problems and doctor visits suddenly stop. Emotions are VERY powerful. They can kill you if left unchecked. This is why people die. Their emotions eventually 'burn up' the body.

An Auric Clearing session will help you resolve these emotions and attitudes and open up a whole new world of possibilities to you. You will feel more at ease, more relaxed, and will attract the positive people and situations that will allow you to get out of your rut and finally start living life with passion....!

DNA Activation

2009-08-22T16:42:00.005+05:30

Imagine if you woke up one morning and realized that you had dormant superhuman abilities that were waiting to be unleashed.

That once you activated these abilities, you could manifest anything you desired in your life, live a life without drama, create your ideal physical body, become immune to all dis-ease, and REVERSE the aging process.

Imagine if you realized that you could actually change your blueprint of life, your DNA, to enable you to expand your creative potential, provide access to your subconscious mind, and become intuitive, clairvoyant, and know instantly what your purpose is in life.

There is now a process which will allow you to do all these things and more, and it is called DNA Activation.

What exactly is DNA Activation?

Most people know that DNA is the 'blueprint of life' and is located in every cell of the body. In addition to each chromosome's 2 strand double helix of DNA, there are an additional 10 etheric strands of DNA available to each human, which have been dormant since the beginning of recorded history. Each additional strand possesses attributes that permit the individual to perform greater human accomplishments. Scientists acknowledge that we currently only use 3% of our current 2 strand DNA. Thus we live in a society where people are sick, unhappy, stressed out, create wars, have difficulty experiencing love, and are totally disconnected with the universe. Most people have to meditate for many years just to have a so-called 'mystical' experience, that's how disconnected we are now. Imagine activating 100% of your 2 strand DNA, PLUS 10 additional strands! You will go from using 10% of your brain to becoming a multi-dimensional being with psychic, telepathic, and manifestation abilities beyond anything you've ever dreamed of. Plus, you will stop the aging process and actually start to rejuvenate to look and feel YOUNGER. This is the Original Divine Blueprint, what man USED to be. It has been written that Jesus had 12 strands of DNA activated. There have been children born throughout the history of humanity to raise the frequency of the planet that have more than 2 strands of DNA active - they are known as Indigo children. These are the incredibly intelligent, loving, and amazing children that are being mistakenly diagnosed as having A.D.D. because they are too smart to pay attention in class. Your DNA is your blueprint of life and is what controls every single function inside each of your cells. If you change your DNA, you really will change your life.

How can there be additional strands of DNA and what does this look like?

The portions of the DNA chain that science has presently identified as the "Double Helix", represent only the SURFACE portions of the chemical, elemental, and electrical components of the active DNA strands. Science has yet to identify the MULTIDIMENSIONAL spectra of DNA manifestation, and has yet to realize that within the structures of detectable DNA, there are levels of structure and function that direct the operations of the entire genetic blueprint, which are not currently detectable by the contemporary scientific method.

The human DNA imprint will always appear from external analysis, as a 2 strand Double Helix configuration. But what is not understood, is that within the Double Helix there are, and will be progressively more, additional Double Helix strands, which fuse together and add their operational coding into the active DNA imprint. As science evolves into comprehension of the mult-dimensional spectrum, the understanding of the tree structure and function of DNA will progressively advance.

But one does not have to wait for science to catch up with a rapidly evolving humanity in order to begin advancing the functions of their DNA. Through the processes of bioregenesis, we are removing ancient blockages within the human anatomy that have been blocking natural DNA activation, and then we are restoring the Original Organic Imprint for Health, that is the birthright of our species. We are progressively reordering portions of the "junk DNA" and stimulating portions of the DNA into activation.

Why is DNA Activation important right now and how does the Earth affect our DNA Activation level?

We are directly connected to the Earth and exist as part of the Earth. Like a baby that is in their mother’s womb, the body of the mother is actually the OUTER body of the baby. So anything that happens to the mother forms an energetic imprint and affects the child. For example, if the mother smokes or drinks alcohol during the pregnancy, this goes directly to the child and forms imprints, which may manifest as physical birth deformities or genetic problems which eventually manifest into physical dis-ease.

So it is the same thing with the Earth and us. The Earth is OUR outer body. This is why it is called Mother Earth. Our morphogenetic field (form holding blueprint) exists as part of the larger morphogenetic field of the Earth. If something happens to the Earth’s energetic grids, then we inherit these problems into our own grids. Our energetic anatomy is exactly like the Earth’s, with chakras, meridians, axiatonal lines, and DNA. Our 13th chakra is actually one we share with the Earth and exists at the Earth’s core. So if a cataclysm happens with the Earth and it pokes a hole in the Earth’s grids, then what happens is that “hole” is poked into every person’s DNA on the planet.

And this has been one of the main influences and problems with our DNA throughout history as there have been many cataclysms. The Earth distortions in history have actually created a planetary DNA distortion that has made every living organism’s DNA on the planet to falsely appear as Base-4, with only 4 chemicals. Humans are supposed to have 12 chemical nucleotide bases. This would allow us to have 144 physical chemical chromosomes as well, whereas now we only have 46. Also the original Angelic Human DNA Template which most people on the planet have, called the Diamond Sun DNA Template, is 12 strands, allowing for 12 dimensions of consciousness, and is built for transmutation from carbon to silica based body, and eventually pre-matter liquid light. This body is not meant to “die”. It is because of the DNA distortions in ancient history (25,500 B.C) that have blocked people from bringing light into their field and naturally evolving through DNA activation. Most people on the planet only have 3 strands active, which only allows 3 dimensions of consciousness and thus they are stuck in 3D.

We are at a very important point in history right now because we have the ability to regenerate our original organic imprint for health. And we don’t need science and fancy equipment to do this. We are just required to learn how to use what we came in with – our mind-body-spirit system to direct our mind to alter the scalar waves by which our DNA is composed.

We are in the middle of an ascension cycle, which is literally a time continuum shift. From now through 2012, the planet is going through this time continuum shift, which only happens once every 25,556 years (called a Euiago cycle). What is happening is that the particles that make up the Earth’s auric field are speeding up in pulsation rhythm to prepare for this shift into ascension from dimension 3 to dimension 4. Since the particles that make up the Earth’s auric field are speeding up in pulsation rate, and we exist as part of the Earth’s auric field, the particles that make up our OWN auric fields must also speed up. This is happening now through 2012. This means that one must have at least 4 strands of DNA active to make the shift into dimension 4.

And this is why DNA activation is so important now. If you have energetic blockages – auric attachments, karmic imprints, DNA distortions, or unnatural energetic seals, then you will not be able to speed up the particles and accrete the frequencies necessary to make this time continuum shift. And the higher frequencies coming into your field will speed up the body deterioration process and many result in physical problems or discomfort. Many people are noticing these “symptoms” now and this is why. They are also noticing how time is speeding up.

Our evolution is directly and intimately tied to the Earth’s. And the actual purpose of the Angelic Humans is to assist the Earth with what is happening now. This IS “why we are here”. Because by raising our own frequency and bringing more light into our fields by DNA activation, when enough people do this and it meets “critical mass”, this will actually reset the distortions in the Earth’s grids so that we can all ascend together in 2012. All masters that have come, are here, and will come know about DNA activation and spiritual evolution does not happen without it.

What are the reported benefits and results of DNA Activation?

DNA activation removes the energetic blockages to you embodying your Higher self, Oversoul consciousness, Avatar self, and Rishi - the part of you closest to Source or God. So consciousness expansion is one of the main benefits and after the sessions, you will be more aware of everything, especially what your purpose is and why you incarnated here at this point in "time". You will start to become aware or see things that others cannot see - some of the hidden agendas going on and how to make decisions to help you and your family in the best way possible. Your dormant brain functions will start to become active, especially your pineal gland. This will help to start tapping into your 7 Higher Senses, and you will be able to use these on a daily basis with practice. Some of the physical benefits reported by clients include thicker hair growth, weight loss and stabilization of desired weight, increased energy, and rejuvenation of various muscles. You will start to see how your body is just a thoughtform as well, and you can change your body more easily with focus, so you won't have to work out as much. Emotionally, you will go beyond your personal dramas, the aggravation of everyday life. Your body will undergo a detoxification, which will bring old emotional issues to the surface to be released forever, to no longer cause dis-ease and poison the body. You will also experience a renewed sense of confidence and security, and will project that to others, which will allow you to have more fulfilling relationships, increased trust and discernment, and the attraction of soul mates. Almost everyone also reports much quicker manifestations of that which they desire.

What type of healings occur after having DNA Activations?

Spontaneous healings can occur at the time of activations. These usually have to do with acute physical and emotional disorders. After the activations, there is a purification process that begins to detoxify the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. There have been many patients who have cured themselves of cancer and other serious diseases after having the DNA activations.

How long does it take to notice the effects from the sessions?

It really depends on the person. Everyone is different and is at a different level of spiritual evolution. After performing over 10000 sessions, I have noticed the following. Some people notice the effects immediately after the session, have spontaneous healings and miraculous realizations occur immediately, while others have reported consciously seeing the results anywhere from 1 to 5 days after the session. The changes do not just happen overnight though. They continue for weeks and MONTHS after each session. This is because the work that we are doing is on your subtle bodies, the one's that exist in higher frequencies. You actually have 15 levels to your Auric Field. So the energetic blockages that we remove in these higher dimensions of yourself usually take at least a few days to flow down into a person's conscious awareness and holographic reality. The idea is to facilitate permanent changes that last a lifetime, so it's good to have the sessions as soon as possible.

How do I have my DNA Activated?

You and your DNA Practitioner, Toby Alexander, set your intent to receive this gift. There are specific pre-session instructions that must be done as well. The activations are all done remotely so it doesn't matter where in the world you live. There is no instrumentation that comes close to the human brain - it has the ability to connect to, interpret and read any frequency or energy signature. At the scheduled session time after performing the pre-session instructions, Toby Alexander will connect to your energy field and at this point your brainwave frequency will entrain to his, which will be 4-7 cycles per second, or Theta. An energy directing technique will be done to open up the seals that block DNA activation, and then infuse your bio-energetic field with 12th dimensional energy. Toby will work with your Higher self and Oversoul to activate as many strands as is possible for you at this point in your evolution.

Will I feel anything while the DNA Activation is happening?

YES! It depends on how sensitive you are to energy, but most people feel the session very strongly as it is happening. You may notice a tingle or some other sensation in the head area (crown chakra). In most cases, people experience a spontaneous physical or emotional healing at the time of the activation. After that, there will be numerous changes in the next few weeks and months. Most people experience an increase in energy, and go through a cleansing process. DNA Activation is an eternal process and you will notice changes throughout your life from these sessions.

What does all this do for someone? Can you use it to manifest things outside of your body, like attracting business? Or is it only an internal thing that works within you? Please explain in layman's terms if you can!

It does a lot of things. First of all, it allows you to connect to your divine source. It allows you to become one with your God. Think of yourself right now, a person with 2 strands of DNA with only one strand active, as a standalone computer with access to only about 16MB of RAM. This means you can only run a few programs, none concurrently, and you are not even connected to the internet :)

Once you activate your DNA, it's like you get a DSL connection to the mind of everything, and can access anything you want just by using your intent and intuition.

And let me tell you about manifestation! This is the best part. When you bring more light into your field, which is what DNA activation does, you increase your frequency. So you attract people, places, events, and things of a similar high frequency. Which means business contacts, clients, money, etc. Manifestation starts by being able to hold an image in your mind of what you want and then blowing that out into the Void. Everything manifests from the Void. DNA Activation activates the strands that allow you to travel out into the Void and effectively 'hand deliver' your desires to the Creator. In actuality, you become your Higher self, and whatever you think of creates, so BE CAREFUL of what you think of. My clients who have had the DNA Activations are now at the point where even casual thoughts manifest.

When you say you become one with God, what exactly do you mean by this? And how does this help one manifest things?

In reality, we are all just forgotten Gods. We are all one being and one consciousness and everything in the universe and all universes is part and exists within ONE consciousness identity. It has feelings, desires, intentions, and free will. And most importantly, it has the ability to manifest thought. Because we are each an aspect or a face of that collective identity that some people choose to call God, or some people choose to call Source, there are many other words for it, because we are units or the faces of that Source, we are also imbued with the potentialality and characteristics of that Source. Which means as Source, as God manifest, we as smaller aspects of God taking place within God also have the ability to manifest. If we know what we are doing! We are pieces of God who have forgotten who we were, and with the forgetting we forgot HOW to do it. We can look at us as the many masks that Source wears when it chooses to come into manifest holograms to experience the individuation.

What makes your technique more effective than other DNA Practitioners out there and why should I choose you over them?

First of all, it is important to know who you are working with and what type of DNA template THEY have. I was guided to do this work because I am an Indigo Type 1, with a 48 strand template. That means I can draw and hold much more frequency than most people that only have a 12 strand template, and then transmit this to others. It's called shaktipat if you understand yoga. It's basically the ability to awaken people by energy transmission, a siddhi. My technique is also a lot more comprehensive than other practitioners. What I discovered is that if a person has a lot of energetic blockages (and most people do), a DNA Activation won't be as effective. There are certain blockages that everyone has that prevent DNA from naturally activating the way that it used to. So you have to look at this as a process. I always require that someone considering this have an Auric Clearing and a Karmic Session FIRST. Once you are free from these blockages, THEN we can activate your DNA. Other practitioners ignore these blockages and then their clients who are unsatisfied with their results come to me and we have to start all over with the Auric Clearing. Another thing that I recognize that other practitioners aren't aware of is that there is DNA for practically EVERYTHING, not just youth and anti-aging. Another thing is that I don't make DNA activation an "esoteric" thing. If you look at some of the other websites on DNA activation, you get the feeling that something is not right there. You don't need any angels, ascended masters, beings that have received "special permission" from the higher realms, etc., to activate your DNA. You have a part of you that is ALREADY an ascended master. I connect to this 12th dimensional self and work with you to facilitate this. So it's just you, me, and your Higher self performing this process for you. My goal is to make DNA activation a mainstream spiritual activity and it doesn't have to be "esoteric", "paranormal", or "weird". It's just a way to improve yourself and make your life better, much like an exercise or advanced martial arts program. But besides technique and energy holding ability, the most important thing in healing is being able to send pure unconditional love, and that's what I focus on in every session. Without love, no healing will occur, no matter how advanced your techniques are.

The Basics of the Spiritual Path & Kundalini

2009-08-09T21:35:00.006+05:30

For centuries stretching back into the dim corridors of time, asian religions have spoken of a mystical

force called the kundalini. Knowledge of how to awaken the kundalini, what it does, and what to do after its awakening was a closely guarded secret among spiritual masters of the east. Those spiritual masters had very good reasons for keeping secret their knowledge of this power; it is very easy to hurt yourself very badly with this energy. This monograph records my understanding of the spiritual path based upon my life experiences with kundalini awakenings. This treatise has become necessary in general because of the increased interest in the kundalini and use of sound and light machines which are capable of awakening the kundalini. In specific, this treatise is necessary because of the Enlightenment light and sound session I have created and recorded in the manual Awakening Mind One.

Kundalini

The kundalini is a powerful energy that eastern religions say lies coiled at the base of the spine in humans. The kundalini feels like a warm liquidy magnetic energy when it rises up the spine. Once awakened, you will find that the kundalini gradually rises and then slowly subsides within the spine, only to rise again later on. Each time it rises, it rises further up the spine and will continue rising and subsiding until it eventually reaches the brain. The whole process may take months to complete. There are a number of effects of the rising of this energy. All of these effects are available to those who have awakened the kundalini. Although you may have to ask for some of these qualities. It is for these effects that disciples have committed their lives to raising the kundalini energy over the ages.

1. Bliss:

The rising of the kundalini is

extremely blissful. Most people have experienced sex. The most common

experience to compare another experience to is sex. The answer that something

is better than sex is almost a laughable clich‚. The kundalini is about 100

time more enjoyable than sex and I am not laughing. It is much more blissful!

laughing. It is much more blissful!

2. Visions and Images:

There are many various visions that appear in the mind once the kundalini has been awakened. Many disciples of the kundalini have written of visions of the chakras and various other forms. Some visions are precognitive; some are not. The most striking vision that ever occurred to me was that of a lovely woman dressed all in white and gently wafting the sweetest love. Not only could I see her form, I also felt her texture and smelled her fragrance. She smelled like the sweetest of roses but more delicate and haunting. Her texture was like the softest of rosepetals. . .very ethereal. There are other visions of people and places I have had that possessed a quality that made them feel more real than any sensual impression. It wasn't only that you saw them, or heard them, or smelled them, but that you felt them with every fiber of your being. After feeling these visions, impressions from the external world feel dead in comparison. Many lesser order images also float through the mind of the disciple. Images of memories from days long past. Images of objects, people, books, places, and natural scenes delight the mind of the devotee.

3. Awareness Of The Divine:

When I awakened the kundalini the first time, there was always a sense of the nearness of the divine. Very seldom was I able to place a name to the presence, with the exception of some well known to myself presences (such as Christ, Yogananda, etc.). The sense of that nearness of the divine was always a comfort.

4. All You Ever Wanted:

Almost every one chases after material objects here and there in the world. Cars, houses, sex, etc. are quite often sought in a vain attempt to fill some inner void within the soul. One of the most remarkable feelings I ever experienced during my experiences with the kundalini was simply the realizations that this was all I ever wanted. Whenever I wanted anything else, I was looking for a substitute for the feelings I was experiencing. There was a complete sense of fullness that satisfies any void within your soul.

5. Purity, Integration, and
the Expansion of the Mind:

I don't care how religious or pure you are before you awaken the kundalini. Afterwards, the kundalini begins to really make you clean inside. That feeling of being made clean is real purity. When you are going through it, it doesn't feel at all like the sickeningly sweet goodness that many of the religious members of our society have tried to put forth (Self Righteous Purity). That kind of goodness feels counterfeit as compared to the real purity of the genuine spiritual path. I don't care how religious or pure you are before you awaken the kundalini.

That kind of goodness feels counterfeit as compared to the real purity of the genuine spiritual path..

One of the ways the divine accomplishes that purity is through a process known to psychologists as

integration. Integration is a fundamental part of the spiritual path. Integration is the process of dissolving memories of ugly past experiences to which the ego has erected barriers. Integration happens when you become fully aware of a past experience. Integration is much easier to perform with the kundalini than without. However, there are things hidden deep inside almost everyone of which the mind could choose to rebel at becoming aware. It is more risky if you choose not to cooperate with integration while undergoing enlightenment. Without integration you get disciples like some televangelists who give voice to spiritual principles, but then are driven to chase after prostitutes, or scam schemes. With integration you cease to be driven by past decisions made in response to bad experiences. This process results in your mind dropping its defenses and expanding its awareness.

6. Intuitional Knowledge:

It is hard to say how someone knows things by intuition, however, one of the strongest experiences I had during the awakening of my kundalini was that of receiving (revealed) knowledge. It didn't really matter about what; it could be how to play a physical sport or any other interest, but when I received it, I either knew with every fiber of my being that it was revealed truth (The Lessons of Enlightenment) or I knew with my mind that I were being given a deep insight. The deep insight feelings have stayed with me through the years.

7. Mystical Powers:

One of the things you are taught on the spiritual path is how to use psychic powers. One of the fundamental laws of psychic powers is that you can't influence psychically that from which

you feel separate. By removing the barriers of the ego and expanding the mind, you begin to lose that sense of separateness from everything. The other fundamental law of psychic powers is that if your go around using psychic powers for egotistical purposes, you are glorifying the ego (limited sense of

self) and are setting yourself up to lose the positive effects of the kundalini and experience a spiritual fall. An absolute must is to only use exceptional powers when you are directed to by the spirit. After all, even Christ wouldn't perform for Herod's pleasure, when Herod wanted Christ to show him he was God!

8. Love and Protection:

When I was experiencing the rise of the kundalini, I always felt a deep abiding sense of being loved and protected. It was almost as if my soul was having a very deep romance with the divine who looked over and protected me from all harm. Indeed, I was left with the impression that the only harm that could come to me was from my own hand. While awakened, these feelings of love and protection are great at removing fears.

Perils Of A Kundalini Awakening

The Kundalini is by definition a high energy state. Every high energy state has negative side effects if that energy is withdrawn (withdrawal symptoms). Vitality, for example, is a high energy generally stable state. If vitality if withdrawn, as in extreme old age, the body become decrepit, weakened and diseased. Sexual experience is a high energy highly unstable state. Upon climax, sexual energy is withdrawn and you feel tired, weakened, and lose interest in sex for a time. Daily vigorousness is a moderate stable generally high energy state (at least in childhood). When withdrawn at the end of each day, tiredness and sleep is the result. Any energy state, especially a high energy state, upon withdrawal of that energy, has withdrawal symptoms. The kundalini is no exception! The severity of the withdrawal symptoms appear to be related to how long the kundalini has been active. If you awaken the kundalini, and only feel the bliss for a few days, and then shut it down, you may only feel depressed or blue for several days. If the kundalini has been awakened for several weeks,

you will probably experience a spiritual fall that lasts for several days to a week or more.

The signs and symptoms of a Spiritual Fall are as follows:

1. A collapse sensation felt within the mind.

2. A feeling of fear that grows over time.

3. A feeling of mental anguish or pain that increases overtime.

4 Confusion and short term memory loss.

5. A direct and profound confrontation with suppressed subconscious material and dissociated self concepts that may result in a lasting internal conflict or worse. These are all psychological withdrawal symptoms. I am not a physician, but other than symptoms associated with mental shock, I have never felt any symptoms I would associate with physical withdrawalsymptoms(shaking, delirium,sweating, etc.)

If you survive, most of these symptoms last for several days and then gradually will get better as things stabilize. In my mind, it is not at all certain someone in poor health would survive a really

bad fall. A full fledged spiritual fall can be hard on you physically. However, if you survive, you will probably be left with recurring anxiety attacks and after a period of time the kundalini will be trying to burn itself through any psychological block (see Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy In Man, by Gopi Krishna). So that's is pretty heavy, isn't it!

Soon, I will tell you that no one need ever go through a fall again. However, what I have described above is exactly why the specifics of this knowledge has been kept secret for ages. Generally, the knowledge that has been released by those in the know has been pretty watered down. Any one who wanted enlightenment from a valid spiritual master had to go through initiation and years of training. This was to make sure that a disciple really wanted enlightenment more than anything in the world and that he/she was purified enough so that a spiritual fall was unlikely to happen by itself. An awakening before this is what has been termed a premature awakening. What normally shuts the kundalini down is simply the inability or the unwillingness to keep it going. The inability to keep it going results from the subconsciousness mind being unwilling to look at powerful suppressed events. Generally, the subconscious mind uses external material objects that have previously given pleasure to displace the pain and memories of an unpleasant event. Integration is a fundamental part of the kundalini experience.

The kundalini, like any stimulative energy, will bring up suppressed material and you have to be willing to let go of that material and any desires (material attachments) you used to repress it. For this situation, it may be better to integrate this material before you awaken the kundalini (see Awakening Mind 2). If you are a user of Light and Sound Sessions, you should know that you can not use another light and sound session without running the risk of shutting down the kundalini. This is an easy thing to do, but any technology that can aid in enlightenment can remove enlightenment! Many people wonder if you can have sex after a kundalini awakening. There have been enlightened people in India who were either a husband or wife and yet had sex. My understanding is that it hinders the rising of the kundalini. I think the only way sex would stop the kundalini is if you really lost yourself in the climax.

You will also shut the kundalini down if at some point you decide you don't want to go through it any more and refuse to cooperate with it. Your will is supreme . . at least in the short run. If you decide against even a force as strong as the kundalini, you will shut it down. I have described the effects of the kundalini, if there are some of those effects you don't want, then don't even think of awakening this force. I have described the effects of a spiritual fall, if you don't want to risk those effects, then don't even think about awakening the kundalini. Pass it by and go on with your life. On the other hand, if you are looking for something deeply rewarding, something enlivening, and something that causes spiritual and mental evolution, awakening and enlightenment, then the kundalini experience is for you. These are the risks that have been run by disciples of the kundalini through the ages. Technology has changed all of that. The good news is that many if not all of the effects of a spiritual fall are reversible with the help of light and sound sessions if caught in time. Preexisting psychological conditions aggravated by a fall are not reversible without further integrative work. No one need ever go through what I have described above. I have included full instructions on how to awakenthe kundalini and how to stop a spiritual fall in the Awakening Mind 1 manual.

Awakening the Kundalini

Natural Method

Although this method is not the only way to do it, the following method is the one with which I am most familiar. In general, to awaken the kundalini naturally, two things are necessary. You must be able to enter a deep meditative trance state and when you do, you must have enough residual energy so that the kundalini will naturally awaken. This is accomplished using the following methods. The first part of this process is to enter a deep meditative trance state. While lying down, take slowdeep breaths through your nose. You don't want to become over stimulated while doing this, so don't breath too fast. While you are doing this gently concentrate on your breathing. If your mind wanders and you stop deep breathing, don't let it bother you, just resume again. Eventually, you will slip into a trance state. It is not likely that you will raise the kundalini while lying down. However, this practice is extremely important in learning how to enter the trance state. The trance state always feels like less time has elapsed than actually has elapsed. However, there are varying degrees of depth to the trance state. Occasionally, you will be aware while in trance. During this experience, time feels like it has been suspended. Sometimes, you will not be aware while in trance; at these times, you will experience a sort of missing time. Once you have mastered the trance state

while lying down, you are ready to go to practicing it while sitting up with your back as straight as you can. While practicing the following techniques don't strain and perform them in a quiet, secluded place. If necessary take your phone off the hook and put the kids to bed.

I suggest you start by practicing a yoga breathing technique called "alternate nostril breathing."Alternate nostril breathing calms the mind and energizes the third eye chakra. Alternate

nostril breathing is performed in the following manner. Rest the base of the palm of your right hand onyour chin and your three middle fingers on your forehead; if necessary rest your elbow on a table. Gently press closed your left nostril with your little finger and breath in through your right nostril.

Now, close your right nostril with your thumb, and slowly breath out through your left nostril. Next, breath in through your left nostril, while your thumb holds the right nostril closed. Finally, breath out through you right nostril while your left nostril is held closed by your little finger. Repeat the

process over and over until your mind clears of thoughts and is relaxed. Once your mind is quiet and relaxed rest your hands on your lap or a table and start slow deep breathing through your nose. Eventually, you will slip into a meditative trance state. If you have enough residual energy from the breathing exercises, your third eye or crown chakra will awaken, you will see brilliant flashes of light in your mind, be brought instantly out of trance state, and feel alot of bliss. While practicing any of the above exercises, you should feel no strain at all. Sit against the side of your bed or in a chair to relax you back if you need to. Don't force yourself to breath in or out rapidly. If

any of your muscles feel tense, consciously try to relax them. If your mind is restless keep doing the alternate nostril breathing, but don't force your mind to be calm. Personally, I much prefer the following artificial method. You have much more control over your mental state and can compensatefor a fall, if it should occur. Whether the kundalini will awaken with the natural method

is hit or miss. It depends upon how much energy exists within you when you enter trance state, how straight your back is, and how complete a trance state you enter. With the artificial method, you have exact control over your energy state. However, with the artificial method, you must have access to a computer, light and sound machine, or a tape player.

Artificial Method

The kundalini is easily awakened using light and sound sessions. Indeed it is only the sound portion of light and sound sessions that is needed to awaken the kundalini. The principle involved is quite simple. All you have to do is to use a session to put yourself into a very deep trance like state and then stimulate the mind. Nothing is easier to do with a light and sound session. This works is because

the trance like state removes the ego's barriers and the stimulation awakens the kundalini. This is equivalent to saying that the trance state unlocks the door, and the stimulation open it. After the door is open it is up to you to follow through. The session will awaken automatically the kundalini, however you have to be ready to commit to its rising. The following frequencies are the ones used within the enlightenment session:

Stage 1 & 3

257 250

236 243

Stage 2

261 254

233 240

Stage 1 & 3 provides the trance state. Stage 2 provides the stimulation. There are a great many things that you need to know before you can begin to successfully use this session: durations, waveform, volume, filters, exact practice, what to do if the trance state doesn't take, etc. All of these things, plus who should or should not use light and sound session, what to expect to occur at various frequencies, how to write effective sessions, and much more is explained in the Awakening

Mind manual listed within the back of this monograph. The effects of either the trance or the stimulative state taken separately wear off after a couple of days. After that time it is all your energy and you must either do what it takes to keep the kundalini going or resist it and shut it down. The next section is all about keeping the kundalini going.

Riding The Kundalini

The way to ride the kundalini is to pay its price. The price of the kundalini is not demanded of you, it is simply asked. It is always your decision whether you will give that price or not. . .Always. The price of the kundalini is very simple. Every time you feel the blissful effects of the kundalini simply loose yourself in it, no matter what. This is the same as saying that you give complete devotion to the Spirit of God, nothing more, nothing less. What primarily is asked of any disciple of the kundalini is simply that you surrender yourself to it and loose yourself in it (as you might loose yourself in a good movie at a theater). Also, when the spirit within you asks you to do something; simply do it. I doubt very much that you will be asked to do anything harmful. However, the fundamental price of the kundalini is that you lose the ego within it and fully cooperate with it to the best of your ability. Render unto God, that which is God's (who you are and what you are devoted to (what you want)). It is that simple. Eventually, you will be asked to let go of any material desires or attachments that blocks full awareness. What will be shown to you in return is that you are not who you thought you were and that what you thought you wanted, wasn't what you wanted at all.

The kundalini changes everything. It can alter your life forever. The kundalini is the awakening of true spirituality in humans. It is not without risks, but then nothing in life is. It is however the most remarkable and fulfilling journey you will ever take. I have written this monograph as an aid to those who have, are, or will undergo a kundalini awakening. It is meant to be a reference work to keep any serious student on track and to honestly inform anyone thinking about taking this journey. I wish you all of the best in your spiritual journeys.

Healing Patterns

2009-08-09T21:30:00.001+05:30

HEALING PATTERNS AND CREATING HARMONY

As you participate with the energies flowing through your world, remember that this is a time for change. Many dramas are being played for your benefit. Whether these dramas are in your personal life or within the global arena, you are working within these contexts to understand the thrust of life that is changing. You are working to heal the patterns and systems of the old, so you may assert a new pattern with greater flexibility and harmony.

It is important to remember that what you struggle against is what asks for healing. It becomes prominent in your life, because it is important to resolve. Resolution becomes complete, when the underlying causes and impulses are recognized. This allows you to understand the feelings of inadequacy and move into greater power in the spiritual sense. Once resolution is understood, then the energies to heal and uplift can become present and in motion.

CREATING NEW PATTERNS

So many forces at this time are working in the old patterns to try to minimize chaos. Chaos is a creative event. It allows for the freedom of organization to reconnect in brilliant ways. It allows for unlimited association to create new contexts and new forms. Upon seeing the old forms work to re-establish a pattern, chaos moves forward to open the old pattern and begins to assert a new pattern. It is the new pattern that brings healing and awakening. The new pattern once in place, allows for a greater "AHA" factor. From the perspective of the new pattern, a revelation is possible that brings a deep comprehension.

This comprehension shakes off the last bits of the old and encourages you to step into the new creation in joy and play. Chaos may look like destruction from the perspective of the old pattern, but from the new pattern it is said to be a restructuring toward healing.

THE HEALING PROCESS

Healing is a process of bringing the new patterns into play. Healing, whether a physical healing, an emotional healing or a global community healing, becomes available and present through the recognition and embrace of the new patterns. Healing is never a stagnant event. To have vitality in any area of life, the life forces must be flowing. The life forces must be free to flow and move. The flow of life forces brings more than classical health, meaning a life of energy and freedom from pain.

LIFE FORCE AND CREATION

Life force is part of the total flow of creation, that moves through all consciousness. Each aspect of consciousness requires different things at different times. Each aspect of life, requires different things at different times. As you see your own dramatic events unfold in your life, watch for the areas of restriction and allow yourself a greater space in which to play. Extend compassion to your own being. When you struggle, bring the healing life force into your being. For, whatever you notice in the global arena is being created on your behalf. Whatever is being restricted in your life is calling your attention to a new area of participation.

Every moment is an opportunity to shift into healing and renewal. Every moment is an opportunity to awaken to the beauty and joy which is within all creation.

Blessings to you in your journey toward integrated wholeness.

May Joy and Fulfillment Replenish your Vision
