Conscious
Meditation
Meditation is an ancient form of quieting the mind and moving
into a
deep state of relaxation. Some
individuals are able to master this technique.
Others have great difficulty sitting in one position trying to
still the
mind. Although they act out the
appropriate steps to acquire a deep meditative state they often find
the more
they try the more frustrated they become.
The energy of “trying” creates tension within and often
prevents
relaxation instead of enhancing it.
Its important to understand that although some individuals
prefer the
discipline and focus necessary to achieve a deep state of meditation
others
have better results if they practice what is known as a “waking
meditation”.
Waking or conscious meditation as it is sometimes referred to
is
basically being aware of yourself and your surroundings as you go
through your
day. If a person is observant,
contemplative and conscious in their daily activities they will acquire
a sense
of well being and a stronger connection with spirit.
Connecting to spirit consciously is what spiritual growth is all
about.
If a person passively meditates they will sit quietly, go
into a deep meditation
and then go about their day. Sadly the day often becomes chaotic and
the
individual gets lost in the chaos of busy schedules and activities. He or she temporarily forgets their
connection with spirit and usually waits until the next day to renew
that
connection through their quiet meditation practice.
A person who consciously meditates goes through the day aware
of spirit
in all things. Busy schedules and activities don’t create as much chaos
for
them because they are “consciously connected not unconsciously
connected” to
spirit. They do not need to renew their connection to spirit each day
because
their waking state is their connection.
Although
there are many great benefits acquired from being able to discipline
oneself to still the mind and sink into a deep state of meditation
those of you who have difficulty doing this shouldn't worry. You
can still get the benefits of meditation by being consciously mindful
of spirit in all of your daily activities. Being aware awakens
the spirit within. Awakening the spirit within is one of the
benefits of meditation.
People
with this ability often hear voices
not necessarily present to ordinary hearing.
Some individuals who have been placed in mental hospitals
because they
talk to themselves or hear voices could actually be clairaudient and
not
necessarily crazy.
This
gift can be a great asset in helping you
grow spiritually. It is the language of
angels and spirit guides. The voices heard are those of a higher order
giving
instruction or guidance. People with
clairaudient abilities are learning how to “Listen instead of React.”
Although
clairaudience can be used to help
others by relaying pertinent information, it is primarily a blessing
bestowed
upon the person who possess the ability.
This blessing allows the individual to increase their psychic
senses by
not only being able to visualize spirit in their mind but by being able
to
actually hear spirits voice.
I would like to discuss the term known as psychic congestion. The energy field that surrounds your physical body acts as an entry and exit point for any expression you project from it and nay impressions you receive from others.
If your energy field is strong it can serve as
a filtering agent, transmuting any negative influences that you many
come
in contact with. Unfortunately the energy field of an individual
is
usually not as strong as it needs to be to act as a filtering
agent.
Instead, it has become a cesspool of accumulated negative waste. This
is
because of mankind’s continual indulgence in base emotional
desire. As we clear negativity from our life the energy field
becomes stronger and brighter which compliments ones vitality on all
levels of their being.
Whenever you have contact with another
that has different standards of living then you do your energy field is
automatically affected by that difference. Since we are all one
and all interconnected in some way we are vulnerable to the psychic
discharge of energies set up between two or more people.
Most of you are aware that your energy
affects others and visa versa. What you are not fully aware of is
that energy exchanges can be subtle and at times deceptive.
Lets assume that you are married to a
wonderful partner. You get along well and have no major problems
in your communication. Your values are similar but not exactly the same
and you appear to be quite happy. There is only one gray area in
your relationship that you can think of. Your husband seems to
continually desire other woman. He doesn’t do anything with his
desire even though it lives within his mind. You on the other hand do
not believe in desiring another while being married because it goes
against your moral values.
In this example we see two different standards of living. The husband doesn’t see anything wrong with desiring another as long as the action of that desire is not performed. The lack of action is not the problem for the wife; rather the desire for other woman troubles her. The desires of the husband create a disturbance in the wife’s value system. Her lack of acceptance for the husbands desire in turn creates a disturbance in the value system he lives by.
Since they both love one another they continue
to stay together. In the unconscious mind of both individuals
lies a frustration. Both wish they could be in agreement
regarding this matter. Each time they express sexual intimacy
their inner frustration is fed. Eventually this frustration
surfaces and problems start to develop in their relationship.
The reason for the problem stems from
being around someone who has a different set of values then you
do. It is not a matter of who’s right or who’s wrong, its an
energy exchange that is incompatible with your value system. When
you are around another whose values are incompatible with yours, the
energy field of both individuals begin to weaken and holes develop in
the aura.
When a hole develops you are susceptible
to psychic sabotage. Psychic energy exchanges are quite common and
affect your most vulnerable spots. In this example, the wife
would be vulnerable to psychic attack in the areas of her body that
represented sexuality and survival.
Like attracts like. Any form of psychic
energy exchange that is not compatible with your values should be
cleared
as soon as they are discovered. If the exchange has time to
settle
into your body the aura weakens and a foundation for further exchanges
is
created. You would also be sending out an open invitation for similar
encounters to occur. This eventually depletes your vitality and
endurance and physical,
emotional, or mental dis-ease could be the result.
It is sometimes difficult to determine
if you have had an improper energy exchange with another for this type
of exchange can be subtle. A good way of discerning if another
has affected your energy is to set aside one day and be completely
alone. Do not answer the telephone, the doorbell, or go out into the
world and interact with anyone. Stay away from family, friends,
co-workers, neighbors etc. During this
time alone write down what your values are. What standards you
choose
to live by.
After the day is over, slowly, start to
interact with others again. Ask each person a specific question
that
pertains to values. Example: what is your concept of God?
What
does marriage mean to you? The more questions you ask the more
you
will get acquainted with the value system that the individual believes
in.
Often people jump into relationships without discovering the beliefs of another. If we don’t know the belief structure of another person that we associate with we automatically open ourselves up to energy exchanges that may not be conducive.
So many times we find ourselves restless,
tense, anxious, confused, upset and so forth. We try to
understand where these feelings are coming from, yet cannot come up
with any tangible reason. Eventually we dismiss it as the weather, the
moon, etc.
We may dismiss the thought from our mind
but the energy behind that thought remains hidden. As time passes
we
become more restless. When a person walks in your door, shakes your
hand and
starts a conversation you are their audience at that moment in
time. If you allow yourselves to be an audience for another who
has different values
than you do you immediately become susceptible to their energy.
The
closer you are to the individual the more your energy will be affected
by
them.
Do not judge or criticize another.
Just know your place in the scheme of things and do not allow
yourselves to be impressed by another’s energy. Be polite, listen and
then respond by saying, thanks for sharing with me and then end the
conversation.
If they are asking for advice, or they
are feeling sorry for themselves, simply respond by saying, wow, what a
great opportunity you are being given. Spirit must think you’re
very competent in handling this situation. Congratulations!
Some of you might say well that sounds
good but some of the people I interact with are not metaphysically
inclined. I say, so what, you are! Remember you must live your
values as others live theirs. Do not create problems for yourself by
buying into another’s situation. Don’t try to rescue others by
giving advice unless they honestly want it. If you feel you must
respond then encourage their self-confidence. In this way you will be
serving your fellow man as well as yourself in a harmonious way.
Soul Purpose & Co-creation
As humanity moves forward in understanding and acceptance of the next level of their soul development it would be wise to remember that you are not here to suffer, rather you are here to transcend suffering and become the star that you truly are.
In the beginning you were spirit manifesting into form. Spirit manifesting into a physical world was an experiment. It had never been done anywhere before. All spirits choosing to engage in a physical reality were given a free will. Your intention was to create in the likeness and image of the divine source.
Entry into the earth realm was an opportunity for you to spread the vibration of unconditional love across the land. Your intention was honorable although there were many adjustments that you had to go through. You now had a physical body, which at times made you feel uncomfortable. You now lived in a world that was governed by physicality. You had never experienced physicality while living in the heavens and eventually this physicality created the energy of distraction. Adjusting to the physical vehicle required more and more of your time and energy.
On one hand you had the ability to create. On the other hand there were many distractions that hindered your creative process. As time passed and your bodies became denser that density began to consume you. Density was a new experience for you and as with all new experiences your curiosity was strong. Curiosity eventually led you down a path of chaos and you began to feel as if you had lost your way.
This prompted you to start refocusing your energies on becoming co-creators of unconditional love. Unfortunately frustration became your motivating force and this in turn limited your abilities. You lost the vision of your heart and the original intention of your soul.
Time passed and egos were acquired. Competitive creativity became your ruler and the true intention of the creative process was lost. All of you wanted to honor your original intention and in your haste and frustration you started competing with one another. One person created something and then a different person added to it. Before you knew what had happened you were no longer stewards of creation because that which you created possessed you..
As you continued to engage in competitive creativity, emotional, not physical polarity was born. This birth created every negative emotion you have today. Insecurity, anger, resentment, superiority and so forth. As a result the laws of reincarnation were established giving you the opportunity to make amends for the mis-use of your God given powers. Reincarnation was not meant to be a punishment, rather, an opportunity to restore peace within your hearts.
Many souls today are seeking realignment with the God force. This is what some of you call ascension. You have placed a great deal of judgment upon yourselves. Remember that in the beginning life on earth was an experiment. Everyone had a free will with no set outcome of what would be created. Outcome could not be established as long as each soul had the freedom to make choices.
Presently you are being given the opportunity to transcend your pain and to honor your original soul purpose. To do this begin to move your consciousness into the neutral zone, in between the good and bad. Focus on the neutrality and not on the polarity that has restricted you.
Spirit is not emotional. Man is. To be one with spirit you must willingly detach from your emotional bondage. Spirit lives in between the world of right and wrong for it is here that pure energy can flow. If one's consciousness is locked within the confines of polarity flow is not possible. One becomes like a ball bouncing back and forth between right and wrong, good and bad.
To eliminate polarity begin to see the light in all things. Focus on the light and only the light until the darkness is illuminated. Light is the substance from which you were created.
Honor original intention and walk with integrity. Embrace yourselves, your past and your new future with joy. Make peace with your issues and choose to move ever so gently out of them. Reunion with spirit is at hand. Everyone is welcome. There are no superior or inferior beings in the eyes of spirit. Have fun and welcome home
Dreams are often referred to as the magic mirror of your soul. When a person is sleeping their consciousness is relaxed. A relaxed state of mind allows the subconscious to awaken. As you drift off to sleep your subconscious mind begins to review the events of your life. Anything that did not complete itself in your waking state now has the opportunity to do so.
You need to remember here, that everything moves in a cycle of completion. When something is started it must be completed. If you began an activity, a thought, or a feeling but did not finish it, the energy of that activity, thought or feeling will often appear in the dream state in order to complete itself.
Sometimes your dreams relate to the present day, sometimes to the past, and sometimes to the future. To discover the significance of what your dreams are trying to tell you, pay attention to where the dream is placed in your mind. Upon awakening think about your dream for a moment. Was the dream straight in front of you, or off to the side? With a little practice you will begin to sense where it was located.
If the dream was straight in front of you it indicates that you were dreaming about your present day life. If it is located on the right side of your mind it indicates that you were dreaming about a past life. If it is located on the left side it indicates that you were dreaming about your future, a prophetic dream.
Once you know if the dream was related to the past, present or future, you will be able to interpret its meaning more clearly. Dreams are full of symbology and although there are many books on the subject it is always wise to pay attention to what feels right to you. An automobile, for example, may mean different things to different people. We all are unique and have had individual experiences that have shaped our lives and our thoughts.
The other thing to be aware of when interpreting dreams is to ask yourself if you dream in color or in black and white. Black and white dreams often indicate restricted or limited energy in some way or another, depending on the dream. Color dreams are more fluidic, the colors sometimes run together. This can be confusing or expansive depending upon the person.
Neither is better than the other as both give us a deeper understanding about ourselves. If you dream in black and white, review your life and see if there is any restricted energy around you, and if so, find a way to change it.
If you dream in color pay attention to the colors in your dream and their hidden symbolic meaning. Dreams can be valuable tools into the discovery of who you are and who you have been so have fun and pleasant dreams.
I have always been fascinated with the animal kingdom. As a child my father would take me into the forest where I was asked to listen to the sounds that nature held. When I heard a sound I was told to take on its characteristics and mimic it in some way. I perceived this exercise as a childhood game. Over time, I began to discover similar characteristics within myself. My strengths and weaknesses were revealed as I embraced the teachings the animals shared.
Native cultures around the world respect the power and wisdom that animals hold. Tribal rituals are performed in honor of earth and all that inhabit her. Shamans use specific animal movements, sounds and feathers to aid in healing.
Each characteristic an animal embodies is a reflection of our self in some way. They assist the spiritual seeker in self-exploration. From Giraffes futuristic vision, daring and fearless Kookaburra, Swans grace and beauty, to the Horses speed and power, totems introduce us to the mysteries of our psyche and the journey of our soul.
Animals serve as a bridge between heaven and earth, the known and the unknown. They understand both worlds and hold the secrets of creation. They have keen senses and respond to their inner instincts. They live in harmony with mother earth and father sky and teach us how to do the same.
When a totem appears in our life a gift is being presented. If the animal is injured it might reflect dis-ease within our self. If strong and healthy lessons associated with power and its correct use are common. By embracing the energies of our personal totems we experience the earth walk in a balanced way.
Powerful spiritual allies, teachers and
friends, totems can be categorized in four groups.
The Life Totem: The Journey Totem: The
Message Totem: The Shadow Totem.
The Life totem is an animal that stays with us throughout our life. Its power increases our own. Its attributes are similar to our own and reflect the life lessons and opportunities that the soul will experience.
The Journey totem is one that enters our life during a specific time frame. It helps us resolve difficult situations.
A Message totem appears unexpectedly in our life. It carries a message, gift or blessing. Message totems are those that are uncommon in our immediate surroundings and appear and disappear suddenly.
A Shadow totem is one that tests us by making us work through our fears. They are animals that we don't like or have an aversion to. They appear in our lives when fear is present.
As we work with our totems and the teachings they share our spiritual wisdom increases. This wisdom is the ingredient needed for mankind to live an enriched and peaceful life
