Spiritual Practices of Awakening

Awakening

We live in a time of accelerated change and transformation. There are many names for this time period. Some call it, The Great Awakening, The Rebirth, New Earth, The Second Coming, The Golden Age, The End Times, The New Millennium, The Age of Aquarius, The Return of Christ, The Rapture, The Apocalypse, Armageddon, The Quickening or Planetary Ascension. Regardless of what you call it we are entering the most intensified purification process the Earth and humanity has ever experienced.

In every choice in life we must be mindfully aware of the ebb and flow of energy. Is it time to absorb energy, to dispense it or to conserve it? Your feelings will soon become your primary guidance system for navigating through our experiences. In order to tap into the the highest potential of all life has to offer, energy needs to be maintained in a balance of external energy and internal energy production. We need a certain level of energy for our very survival. If your timing is not in alignment with the natural rhythms, you may be losing valuable resources. These resources can be in the form of energy, as well as time, money, or other valuable tools. Our sources of internal energy come from producing vibration. This vibration is that of purity, lightness, happiness, truth, understanding, and most of all love. We are increasing our vibration to higher frequencies that absorb energy at the DNA level.

Absorbing the wrong energy around us can often deplete our ability to produce internal energy. It is often necessary to clear out these energies before we can begin to truly tap into our own power. This may mean removing yourself from certain energy entirely or learning how to shield yourself properly. It is imperative to learn practices for how you want to manage yourself around energies that vibrate at a lower frequency. High vibration comes from a pure source that rejuvenates and creates energy without depletion. It is renewable and endless. It has the ability to heal and expand in ways that can transform all that comes in contact with it. We may see a glimpse of this energy in times of great joy, however unless we are able to change our vibration at the DNA level, it is most difficult to maintain. We will not see permanent changes in your lives nor the world around you that reflect your state of being.

Changing the frequency of our DNA is the process of clearing out dense energy that no longer serve us. It is the process of infusing our body with light. This can transform our physical bodies and elevate our consciousness. By reaching for the light and transforming our being we can begin to understand the realms of the beyond and step into our infinite potential. What I am speaking to is indeed a lifestyle change. It requires mindfulness with every aspect of our being including what we eat, who we spend time with, what we expose our senses to, how we spend our time, what we think, what we speak into creation and most certainly healing our emotions and forgiving our past.

When you make a commitment to this process of raising your vibration expect to see dramatic changes. You may see all of your relationships transform. You may be surrounded by people who do not understand this process, whom you may need to take space from or even eventually let go of. You may feel compelled to move out of the environment that you are living in. It all depends on your own soul’s personal journey. For me this has been a five year process that required me learning to trust the urges inside of me that were calling me deeply into the unknown. For the most part, my primary support was all in the unseen realms. There were many times that I questioned and doubted myself as it would feel I had stepped into an entirely new world alone. However it was my purpose to serve as a teacher of alignment, ascension and ultimately everything happened exactly as it needed. Only now in hindsight I can say that with confidence. I can truly say there is nothing more beautiful than being alive and awake right now with this level of awareness. I have guided many people to transform their state of consciousness and their life circumstances from all walks of life because this is my highest passion. Please enjoy the following which are many of my favorite practices for raising your vibration.

The Way

Learning to find ease in every situation becomes a major tool in managing energy. We refer to this as the path of least resistance. This is a path of being true to yourself, listening to the heart and living in the here and now fully. Trust the divine plan. Master the art of Allowing. Surrender to the flow and know that All That Is truly is working to support your wellbeing at all times. Recognize the importance of divine timing and understand that sometimes there are certain pieces that must line up before life can play out the way that it is destined to.

Sunlight
Currently, we are in the photon belt, entering a 2,000- year cycle of en-lighten-ment receiving the transformational and transmutational energies of Christ consciousness. Encodings that activate our memory and DNA are sent through the rays of the sunlight and solar flares that are encouraging us to spiritually evolve beyond our current state of consciousness to a more enlightened state of being.

High vibrational food
A much as possible try to nourish your body with highly energized alive alkaline food and beverages. This means more plants that have an abundance of life force energy. Equally importantly as what you eat however from my experiences is the intention and energy that you infuse into your food and water. Speaking prayer and blessings into your food can raise the vibration to nourish your body, mind, spirit. Bless not only the food but also the hands that prepare it. Drink as much charged water is humanly possible.

Cosmic and Natural cycles
All biological processes are a function of electromagnetic field interactions, which are the connecting link between the world of form and resonant patterns. When we align our energy with the nature that surrounds us, we are replenished in myriad ways. Like a wise teacher, the earth uses her seasons to model when to rest and reflect, when to cleanse and activate, when to create and when to return back to self. Ancient cultures lived in accord with the movements of all of the celestial bodies. They knew that tapping into these forces gave them access to supernatural power. They used the movements of the Sun, Moon, the stars and planets to gain insight into the higher dimensional realms. Spending time in nature restores our own biorhythms and brings us deeply into balance. Living in harmony with the cycles of nature we can find the gifts and opportunities that each season offers for deepening our spiritual practices.

Sound healing
A variety of sources throughout history have insisted that vibration is primary to form. The Bible, for example, tells us, “In the beginning, there was the word… and the Word was God. All things came into being through Him.” [John 1:1-3] Long before the written word, music, sound and healing were inseparable in the practices of ancient civilizations. Mantra was considered a musical prayer for healing. The creative and transformative potential of sound has been scientifically verified although these sounds are found in nature and are nothing new. Sound vibration actually changes the structure of matter. Ancient civilizations constructed sacred temples based on the perfect mathematical proportions of sound. Cave paintings were found to have been created in places that had natural sound resonance, supporting the theory that decorated caves were backdrops for religious and magical rituals. These findings indicate that the acoustics of these spaces played a major role in their ability to invoke spirits and other higher vibrational energies.You can tune yourself to the perfect rhythm with specific harmonic tones. But as we learn that everything is vibration we learn that our entire life can become a practice a tuning into the frequencies around us that create harmonic resonance. Cymatics from the Greek word for waves, is the study of wave phenomena and vibration. This science visibly demonstrates the power of sound to “shape, transform and destroy the seemingly solid structures that we see all about us.” Some examples are Tibetan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, Didgeridoo sounds, gongs, flute, drums, tuning forks, Solfeggio frequencies and Binaural beats.“Divine sound is the cause of all manifestation. The knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe.” – Hazrat Inayat KhanEarth Medicine
I created Resonance Apothecary based on the principal of divine attunement. Like any instrument, our bodies require regular tuning in order to play in harmony with the delicate orchestra of existence. Keeping ourselves finely tuned is our most fundamental tool for health and well-being. These tools come directly from Mother Earth herself. As mentioned previously the basis of all wellbeing is vibration (sound) the primary building blocks of creation. Given that sound vibration is said to be the primary mover underpinning all of creation, it seems only sensible to appeal directly to that source if we seek the deepest healing available. The tools that I create are based on the vibration of plants, flowers, crystals and stones. Creating harmony involves recipes that include not only high vibrational plants and oils but also raising the vibration with sound, intention, ritual, and prayer. These become allies that we can bring with us throughout the day us that can bring us into alignment at any time. Wherever you are these tools can help you find your rhythm and surrender to the sonic flow.

Brain Entrainment/Hypnosis

These are powerful tools for helping to let go of limiting beliefs and healing mental diseases. Many of the deeper layers of beliefs that we hold true have been programmed or conditioned into our subconscious early during childhood in the formative years, when people of influence around us imprinted their understanding of reality deep into our minds. These imprints evolved into our subjective reality long before we had access to tools such as discernment and have stayed with us as our default “program”. These programs are projected out into the hologram that we refer to as our reality without most of us being aware. Ultimately many of these beliefs have a profound impact on our lives yet they truly do not serve us nor match the true nature of our infinite selves. This is part of the game of this earth realm. Working to remove these beliefs is one of the most important healing practices on the path of nurturing spiritual wholeness.

Movement.

It is no secret that regular exercise helps to maintain a higher vibration and healthy lifestyle. During and after a workout you enjoy a buzz of endorphins that your brain releases. Take a moment every day to stretch, build your endurance and strength, and feel your heart becoming stronger. Practices such as somatic therapies and trauma release exercises are amazing tools for helping to move old stagnant energy from the body. Along with movement incorporating appropriate breathing techniques and breath work into your daily practice can completely transform your health.

Emotional Healing.

I will be covering this topic next month in detail as we move into a new chapter on learning how to heal the heart and tap into our emotional guidance system. I will be teaching Taoist practices for how to transform negative emotions with inner alchemy and how our organs are connected to our emotional essence. Stay tuned for more on that topic.

Fortifying the Aura.

Your aura is an extension of you. Or rather it is the electromagnetic field that surrounds you, in other words it is you as energy. When strong it acts as a protective shield.When fragile or damaged it can leave you drained, unwell and feeling disconnected from yourself. Cleansing and nurturing the aura for the overall integrity of our health and wellbeing is an essential practice. Many ancient cultures believed that illness first starts with a weakness in our auric field. Many of the practices mentioned have a deep impact of the aura. In addition, cold showers have the ability to clear away negativity in your auric field, remove toxins, improve circulation and draw out tension from your body.

A powerful exercise that follows can be used in any challenging interactions

Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
Invoke.
Create an intent to close your aura to all negative thoughts, emotions, and words.
Cross your arms. (This closes the upper half of your aura.)
Cross your legs. (This closes the lower half of your aura.)
This posture automatically closes your aura to negativity. It also makes you more naturally resistant to people trying to influence you.

Meditation and Prayer.

The Practice of tuning into the Source within is my most fundamental spiritual practice. The frequency of Source is a guiding light. When we shift into the receptive mode we come into communion with the God(dess) within and invoke Spirit. This allows us to receive guidance and strength to further us along each step of the path. The Omnipresence of God(dess) means that there is a presence in the midst of every time and every point in space. Begin to realize that this divine Presence is in you and that everything is an expression of this power. Worry is due to a lack of faith and this can debilitate our entire system. Every morning when you wake turn to prayer and meditation and remember that you are a channel for Love and the Divine.

Setting Intention and Visualization.

Recent studies have shown that sending a directed thought generates palpable energy that is measurable. Attention, belief, focus, motivation, and mental state intensify effect. A big reason why people fail to manifest the things they want is because they never actually intend for their dreams to come true.They believe their desires are inconceivable or impossible, or that they are unworthy of happiness, so they simply never ask for what they truly desire. Many are so out of touch with manifesting their desires and their true feelings that they actually do not even know what they truly want. Learning to properly set intentions is key to tuning into the divine principal that creates worlds. Here are a few techniques.Set your intention first thing in the morning.
Write your intentions down on paper. There is something quite powerful and magical about the focus required to actually write something.
VISUALIZE. Use your imagination to actually see yourself experiencing how it would feel to have what you truly want.
Bring in as much emotion and feelings as you can possibly create.
Tell people about your intention
Act and speak as if what you wish is already on the way to you.
Spend time in the evening expressing gratitude for all of your life’s blessings.

Ritual and Ceremony.

Throughout history there has existed an ancient and ongoing tradition of sacred action performed with the aim of improving not only our lives but the condition of the universe itself. Any action that is repeatedly energized with thought and intention gains power, thereby becoming a ritual of sorts. In fact, all our actions have a ritualistic orientation, because action tends toward repetition and reinforcement, thereby gathering specific energies that connect us with certain forces in the world. The power of using magical ritual or ceremony does not rely on the props used however. It depends on how well you use the props to create a psychodynamic change to occur in your own consciousness that then leads to you being able to influence physical reality.

Positive Affirmation..
Last week’s article listed the many amazing affirmations that you can work with daily. If you missed it you can review it here.

Soul mate relationships.
A Soulmate can enter in our lives at any time in different types of relationships from our family, friends to love relationships, even people we refer to as enemies. Many soul mates remain in our lives, others will pass through and then leave once the energy upgrade is complete. Soulmate connections are more than a physical relationship.Of course there is a deep attraction between Soulmates but this connection is much more than just sex. A soul mate can actually be represented through a strong repulsion to someone as well. Again this is about the energy between them two souls. The key to finding true love, the version of soul mates that we often dream of, is to keep your vibration high. This allows you to attract high soul mates rather than the type that are based on karmic debt and soul contracts. When you maintain a high vibrational state you are a magnet for love because you radiate peace, love and joy. Examples of affirmations for attracting a soul mate include: Love is my divine birthright, and I claim it now. I give and receive love fully and I release the past and let love flow into my life.

Radical Forgiveness
This article would be incomplete if I did not include a process for how to learn to let go of anything from our past that is keeping us vibrating in dense emotions such fear, shame, guilt, disappointment, victimhood, or lack of self worth. It is possible to recognize the purpose of events that have caused us pain in our life and to forgive the person we believe has wronged us. The following is a process that can be used in order to call back all of the rejected, suppressed and abandoned parts of our unconscious shadow in order to become whole once and for all.

Describe the situation and allow all of the feelings to come to the surface. You want to let the feelings come up so that they can be expressed. Just let them be exactly what they are. Do not try to judge or suppress them.
As you get in touch with your feelings you might become aware where the emotions are located in your body.
Ask yourself are you willing to be open to the possibility that your higher self created this situation for your ultimate growth?
Are you willing to accept that your feelings are a direct result of something that needs to be healed, even if you cannot see it?
Are you willing to release your judgement of the situation as right/wrong, good/bad?
Are you willing to accept that what upsets you about the other person is that there is a part of you that is crying out to be recognized that they are mirroring?
Are you willing to unconditionally love that part of you that you have rejected? If so welcome it back and love it unconditionally right now.
Are you willing to accept that you unconsciously attracted this person in order to see a part of yourself that is longing to be accepted?
Do you recognize that in forgiving them you are forgiving yourself?
Are you willing to connect to the divine love behind the situation and let go of the story that was attached to this situation?
Your power within is activated when you are willing to let go of the power that the story has over you. Notice any sensation in your body that indicated this has occurred.
You can repeat this practice for as many situations as you feel are holding you back.
I recommend connecting with this practice of radical forgiveness during the full moon which is a powerful time of release, purification and letting go.
