A new us … A new reality … A new world

 

There are two completely different realities spinning side by side at the moment. In one there is a global pandemic, restriction of movement, people dying, economies threatened, and a global climate crisis right alongside it all.

In the other there is a growing sense of communion with the world around us, a love of life and the natural world, an ability to create magic and yes, even miracles, in association with others who share this reality.

Reimagining the Collective

In this new version of us we are a collective species, interwoven with all other brilliant and beautiful life forms. As one goes, so goes the whole. We absorb knowledge, ideas and genius innovation from the ethers that surround us and discover previously hidden masteries that in fact were always within us. We laugh together across the airwaves of the world.

When any are in distress, the collective bursts into alchemical stirring to weave its wonders upon their reality and watch the miraculous unfurl itself into their lives. We live by passion and purpose and creation. We are reality magicians, inspired by wonder of the world around us, led by an infinite compass that guides our every action in the right directions.

In truth I believe we are the beginnings of a new species that is woven with all the best of all current species. Our brains are being reactivated, our bodies rejuvenated and our intelligence embraced by an infinite source of understanding beyond the current ken.

I believe that this extraordinary and unusual past year of 2020 has led us here, and perhaps what we perceive as COVID is actually an alchemical transformation in disguise. That we are now flowing into a time like no other before it on a world that I perceive is becoming more glorious by the day. I believe we shall all, every species, every life form, find ourselves in this new reality from here on in.

And that is perhaps the most delightfully exciting New Year’s present a being could ever have.

Your energy is currency…

Understand how you are spending it and what you are spending it on. This is a key practice during this season of closure, reflection and renewal. You give your power to certain energies both by focusing on them, or  trying to ignore them. Both are a form of energy currency. The answer is awareness. Be aware, and set your intentions.

Care more about cultivating and conserving your energetic currency so that it is available to be spent on creating and transforming your life, rather than on defending your reality. We have to train ourselves to vibrate in our own home frequency. This is the basis of mastering our own energy field and learning to focus and direct our energy currency.

Master your energy field, and experience the fullness of your own essence. We can do this by practicing energetic boundaries and managing our frequency through auric cleansing practices and embodiment. Another important component of attuning to our home frequency is emotional alchemy and healthy energy exchange. For highly sensitive people, it is important feel our feelings and clear trapped energy from the emotional body.

Everything we do involves an exchange of energy. It’s possible to be in a healthy exchange with someone through the practice of mindfulness, clear communication and healthy boundaries. Much of this work is about the consistent practice of releasing that which doesn’t serve, while reconnecting to the expansiveness of your true inner self. These practices and more will be taught in our upcoming course, Energy is Currency.

No One Can Hold Back the Dawn, Not Even on this Winter Solstice

I’ve had mixed feelings about Winter Solstice.

It’s cold and dark and my body is not a fan of either. I’m usually running around, trying to get all of the things done before traveling to see family.

And it’s also the time of year when I’d be getting ready for the annual Yule ritual with Starhawk. Sometimes I’d have a role, sometimes not. But the spiral dance is the moment when I’d remember not everything is dark and cold.

I would look into so many shining eyes and remember that light is returning in the northern hemisphere.

But this year is different.

Light is Returning on Winter Solstice 

A lot of my work in 2020 has focused on cycles. Cycles of beginning and ending, and sometimes just the work of turning around and around without stopping. And there’s also been sharp stops in the middle of a cycle. Feeling dizzy after so much movement and then none.

Emotional vertigo is real. Spiritual syncope. Loneliness in moments I never thought to prepare for: a real worry that the parts of life I love might not return for a long time.

The song we would often sing during the Winter Solstice spiral arrives in my mind. And it cycles over and over again. Sometimes the whole song, sometimes only part.

 

LIGHT IS RETURNING

© Charlie Murphy

 

Light is returning,

Even though this is the darkest hour:

No one can hold back the dawn.

 

Let’s keep it burning,

Let’s keep the light of hope alive:

Make safe our journey through the storm.

 

One planet is turning,

Circles on her path around the sun:

Earth Mother is calling her children home.

 

My body remembers hands and singing until my throat was so dry it cracked again and again. And I would laugh and someone else would laugh. And the song of hope would burn in my veins.

 

Even Though This is the Darkest Hour

In such a hard year on so many levels, I can feel the dawn coming. It’s sitting on the horizon with promises of something better. Something safer. I can taste it on these dry, thirsty lips.

What is coming will not be perfect. I have already seen the cracks. I have already felt the hesitation to get TOO hopeful. But I bend in that direction anyway. I bend toward the possibility that the dawn will return.

And with it will come the promise of never taking anything for granted again.

I have learned that again and again. I have learned that I assumed I would always have what I had. That I would know consistency and safety. That I would be able to handle everything because I had faced it before.

I never imagined this. I never prepared.

But as the year closes, I know I can face anything. Even in the hours when I thought I could not handle it (and did not want to handle it), I did. The cycle continued. The dawn came.

I kept going.

This Winter Solstice is more visceral. It is not an idea of coming light, but a push into whatever happens next. The colors in the skies may be beautiful, and still I don’t know what they will brighten into clear view.

But the dawn is coming. It is already on its way.

And my hope burns from within, it relies on no one else and nothing else, not even the change of the calendar.

It was always here, the deep glow, the internal resolve.

The match that moves swiftly across the rough year.

And lights the way home.

2020 ~ 2021

 

2020 in review

What a time for the world this year. Right from the start of this global pandemic I said, ‘So much good is going to come from this. This is the year the world turns.’ I have not been disappointed.

I don’t need to recap here the environmental impacts, innovational breakthroughs, the sense of globality and the bursting forth of Nature that’s happened this year. But also what’s exciting to me is how the new is showing up so brilliantly in us now.

Many of us now are living fully embodied in a new reality that can only be described as magical, transcendent and joyfully radiant. We are vast and present at the same time, totally in love with life on planet Earth. We have become what I like to call quantum ALLchemists, working as the ALL for all life everywhere. Being a collective being is second nature to me now. And I can see global unity right in front of our noses now. Standing here now, mid December 2020, there is an unexplainable excitement about what the last few weeks of 2020 and then 2021 will bring.

 

 

2021 … The year of realised dreams 

I’ve always said it’s difficult to predict the future, first because we are awesome creators and we can make it anything we want. But also because it has always seemed to me like multiple timelines and pathways were on offer, so a choice here and there could put you on a completely new path. However in the past four months, I’ve been playing with future looking and while it’s still not 100% predictable, I find now that there seems to be an overarching pathway that soars above the rest, offering us a brand new reality in which the world can live. So here goes with my annual look at our year ahead … 2021.

ABUNDANCE … Despite all the logical pandemic effect predictions, I sense that 2021 will shower the world with abundance … not just for the select few, but for all people and life forms around this planet. It’s a natural kind of abundance that springs from a relationship with the Earth and Nature. An innovative and entrepreneurial abundance that allows everyone to actualise their dreams and do what they love.

NATURE … This past year, where we live, we saw Nature burst forth like never before. Super GREEN, mega growth, luscious organic foods oozing with juiciness and of course the cross species animal love captured by cameras everywhere. In 2021 Nature is going to burst free even more throughout the world as the miraculous magical core of LIFE is opened up for all to become what we’ve never been before and to see with eyes of wonder what we’ve never seen before inherent in all life.

PEOPLE POWER … There is already a move in motion from hierarchical business, finance and government models to empowerment of the people for collaborative decision-making. It may take another year or two to fulfill itself completely, but we will see this clearly emerge this coming year, supported by new technological innovations and loads more local, community and on line engagement.

GLOBAL UNITY … is high on the list this coming year, breaking through all the logical expectations of ‘how things are and have been’ in the world. This is already happening as we all move through a global pandemic together and see just how interwoven we are. But also If you’re like me, your daily contact is with friends from many countries, faiths and beliefs, seeing just how brilliantly we come together now via technology and telepathy.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING … is going to take a huge leap this coming year. First because 2020 experiences have forced a focus on that, but also because we are unleashing in ourselves a miraculous ability to source powerful shifts in our physicality. I’m already experiencing this in our collective power in zinging up others when they ask for assistance, but also experiencing a sense in myself of getting younger rather than older. In my 70teenth year, I am healthier, fitter and happier than I was ten and even twenty years ago. I see this same trend in my buddies around the world, too.

 

I predicted 2020 as the year the world would turn towards a new reality and had no idea that a tiny virus would come along to facilitate that turning. Now 2021 feels like a bursting forth of all that the new can offer us. A year in which the world becomes all that we have dreamed it could be. Fasten your seat belts, folks. This rocketship is taking off this coming year. The world will become spectacularly awesome in 2021 and all of us will have an experience of living that dream.

The 13th Chakra and The Acceleration of Healing

Many of us are familiar with the seven chakras, the major energy centers of the body that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. These centers are represented by the seven colors in the visible light spectrum and the seven notes of the diatonic scale, beginning with the color red and the note C, and ending with the color purple and the note B.

Fewer of us are aware that there are actually more chakras as well: two more above our head (8 and 9), one below our feet (10), one in the palm of each hand (11 and 12), and the 13th chakra, which is about arm’s length from the body, slightly below the level of the heart.

(There are more chakras – the 14th is the gateway to the next dimension, but that is another story).

The Heart chakra is represented by the color green; however, in some contexts it is referred to as having two colors – green and rose, or pink. Until I learned about the 13th chakra, this always confused me. How could pink be in there? How could a chakra have two colors? The answer is that the 13th chakra is outside the body, but the energy of it is experienced in the heart.

The Heart of the 13th Chakra

The energy of the 13th chakra is that of Unconditional Love. Unlike the seven major centers of the body, this one cannot become blocked. What can become blocked however, is our awareness of it. This center is like a beacon of love and light that is eternally shining on us, delivering to us bliss and well being at every moment of our existence. It is our interconnectedness to All That Is, to our Source.

The 13th chakra has been symbolized in the image of a Rose. Throughout history, myth and religion, this symbol appears to represent the energy of Love, or God, or the Light (which are essentially all one and the same). If the Rose spoke, it would say one thing: “You are Loved.”

The truth contained in the awareness of this energy center is what everyone is looking for: it is simply, happiness. Buddha’s famous last words were (allegedly), “There is no Way to Peace and Happiness – Peace and Happiness is the Way.” These are profound words, and yet they are not the words we are taught to live by. Somehow we have swallowed the belief that happiness lies outside ourselves, that it is something to be pursued, purchased, found in a mall, a restaurant, a relationship, or a pill.

And so we go from store to store, from person to person, or perhaps therapist to therapist, seeking the elusive Bliss that calls to us. We get lost in addictions that whisper lies to us about happiness. From heroin to sugar to online catalog shopping, we answer that whisper and fall headlong into the temptation of the short-lived high, only to find ourselves on the desolate beach of the inevitable crash soon after. Lost at the mall.

Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

Our awareness of this Source of Unconditional Love is blocked on a personal, as well as cultural level. This has occurred for a number of reasons, the primary one being the Creation Myth that is known by nearly everyone in our culture whether they choose to subscribe to it or not. Put simply, we are the children of a couple that blew it (it was her fault) and we have been cast out of the Garden, separated from God, to suffer forever in the world of Duality.

This story has, on a subtle level, defined the reality of our culture. Its basic message is that we are all guilty sinners living under a judgmental God. This belief instills in us a powerful message that we are not worthy of Bliss, Happiness, Joy, and Ecstasy. We are worthy of pursuing it, yes – in that shiny SUV, in that Beautiful House, in that Fit Body and all the other images that Madison Avenue holds up to us as Desirable. We are worthy of pursuing it in Food, Alcohol, Shopping, Sex and Busy-ness. But of finding it? Of truly finding it and choosing it and owning it? Of really living it?

Well, living it, that’s scary stuff. Because somewhere in this belief system there is this lurking thought that if we let ourselves feel too good, something terrible is going to happen. Therein lies the whole lie: this is where Unconditional Love becomes conditional love – “I can be happy if all of the conditions are right – when I am fit, rich and have the perfect mate,” or whatever your personal conditions are. The thought that it is too scary to have all of these things that we think will make us happy because we might lose them all and then become unhappy keeps us in a cycle of perpetual unhappiness – it keeps us Stuck.

The truth is, that while this is a world of suffering, it is merely an illusion and love is behind all of it. All of the seeming “tragedies” that “happen” to us are lessons laid with love before us so that we may know Love, and are all essentially Maya, the mask of God. In truth, we have never really left the Garden – we are still connected. The 13th chakra is, was, and will always be there.

(There is an interesting sideline here about the Goddess Tradition and the Number 13 and how it was stamped out by the Church of Rome and what all that means, but that, too, is another story.)

Removing the Blocks to Love’s Presence

Many people bog down in the healing process when it comes to truly and fully opening to this energy. Most people are so accustomed to feeling bad that feeling good is outside their comfort zone. We are programmed, especially through Television, to focus on the negative. Whatever one focuses on expands, and so we have expansive depression in our culture, and it is accepted as normal. In fact, we subscribe to the curious notion that depression is a result of being victim to hormones and body chemistry beyond our control, that it is a condition to be fixed with a pill.

In fact, the entire notion that we need to be fixed is incorrect thinking. What we need to do is remove the blocks that stand between our essential nature and Unconditional Love. The first step in removing these blocks is identifying them. Any place where we experience “stuckness” is a place where we hold a false thought or belief about ourselves, a notion that limits us and disconnects us from our Authentic Selves.

Much unhappiness comes from the fact that we are culturally programmed to be that way, because it is no great secret that this inherent dissatisfaction with life is what drives the ever-important Economy. The lie that happiness lies in the accumulation of stuff (especially expensive new stuff) and status keeps our consumer culture functioning. The hard truth is that we are all slaves to a system that seeks to rob us of our joy, our time with loved ones and our freedom, while all the while feeding us propaganda that we are free and rewarding us with shiny possessions for our sacrifices.

A good starting point in identifying the sources of your unhappiness is to recognize that many of your own issues are holographic to the culture at large. You are part of something bigger than yourself, and were most likely educated within a school system that stamped the authenticity right out of you in order to make you easily manageable and able to fit nicely as another cog in the machine of commerce. (Today’s children who do not fit nicely are labeled ADHD or something like that and drugged so that they do fit).

This belief system frowns on the concept of “following your bliss” as irresponsible, selfish and foolish, so you have learned well to put aside the things that make you happy to the point where you may not even be sure what makes you happy. The price that you pay for this surrendering to the System is depression, addiction, rage, or apathy. Ultimately it becomes disease.

The process of healing the planet is one of healing ourselves – of taking the time and the energy and the self-worth to re-establish our connection to the energy of the 13th chakra and discover the things that bring us joy. It has been noted that time seems to be speeding up – the rapid exchange of information has allowed the evolutionary process of all sorts of human systems to accelerate at an astounding speed.

Healing As A Choice

Technology is not the only factor that benefits from this process – the individual healing process is also speeding up. Issues that previously may have taken years to get through are now being healed within a matter of months, even weeks. It is as if time has speeded up – or more appropriately, our beliefs have expanded to include a simple truth: we can heal ourselves, and so the process is not altered by false beliefs any longer.

When your belief is geared to physical healing only, healing time will naturally be on a slower vibration (or physical vibration), thereby taking a longer time to heal oneself. As we begin to heal on the emotional and spiritual levels, our vibration and awareness expands and healing time becomes almost instantaneous.

When we come to a place of spiritual healing, we see that all illness arises from places where we are not letting love in. Health or wellness then becomes a choice, becomes our own responsibility. This is where the awareness of the 13th chakra is such a profound tool for healing – in many cases the simple reconnection of our energies to this source of bliss can eliminate all kinds of mental, emotional and physical distress.

As people become healed (unblocked) and in touch with the energy of Unconditional Love, they become liberated to do the job they came here to do. Freed from shoulds, from guilt, from depression, they are rising up to take their place among those who are working to restore balance, to create sustainability, to improve education, and to heal each other and the planet. They are reconnecting with their bliss, claiming their power, and answering their callings, and doing so at an increasingly rapid rate. It is in this way that lightworkers are also riding the powerful wave of change that is sweeping the planet.

A good and simple way to begin to connect to this energy is through the use of color therapy. Pink is a color that many of us, especially men, tend to shun, or at the very least pay little attention to. Using it deliberately, therefore, has a powerful effect on our psyches. You can buy pink flowers, burn pink candles, wear pink underwear. You can visualize the color pink emanating from a location arm’s length from the body just below the heart while meditating. It so happens that pink is a very “in” color this year, so it is very easy to find.

Along with visualizing the color, associate it with the emotion of “unbridled bliss;” try to awaken that concept in your heart and your mind. A good metaphor for this is the image of a cup that is brimming, gently spilling over the top. Truly feeling this emotion doesn’t come easily to most of us, but with practice it becomes much more so.

It is important to note here that this isn’t about being blissed out all the time. Life happens: pets die, neighbors do unneighborly things, the government does questionable things, and so we will feel and have every right to feel sad, or angry, or confused or any other emotion that people tend to label as unspiritual. The difference is that we are not afraid of these emotions – the undercurrent is one of trust that all things that rise up fall away and that ups and downs are part of life and that the ultimate ground of all of this perceived reality is Love. The energy of the 13th chakra acts as a rudder that keeps us on course and on keel regardless of what winds are blowing.

Why Revisiting Our Inner Self is More Important Now Than Ever

 

We are living in strange times at present, to coin a phrase. Whatever descriptive word we use does not do justice to what is happening in the world. 2020 has turned out to be a year of profound transformation at all levels. Being at home has become a nice experience for some people, for others it has been really hard. However, we are all learning how to best navigate these times with courage and grace when possible.

Acknowledging our souls becomes imperative, in my opinion. I feel that it is important to go deeper into our hearts, find those emotions that take us out of our comfort zone, see them as an observer, work on them using holistic tools like meditation, for example. It is important to review the way we talk to other people, the words we are using to express our feelings, the words we are using to talk to our loved ones, especially to the children around us. It is important to resolve those old scars that keep resurfacing when least expected.

We have the opportunity to change old paradigms now, those that have not allowed us to move forward, those that break our spirits, old habits like being very quick to judge others, without realising that behind every person you know there is a story. We are all spiritual beings, because we are energy beings, and when we recognise each other as energy, we realise that there is no separation, that we are united with Source and we are one. We just need to allow ourselves to experience this connection.

Changing is not easy, nor is it difficult; it is a matter of will power. We can start little by little, changing one habit at a time. For instance: the tendency we all have to talk about other people. It always amazes me when at a party or in a restaurant (old times that seem to be far away now) I hear people talking about others, usually in harsh terms, without realising that we are adding force to an unpleasant creation, because our words and thoughts are energy that travels far and gets imprinted in our creative network, that invisible mesh called the “zero field” by Science.

Personal transformation requires a deep commitment with ourselves, revisiting those inner areas — and we may experience resistance. But there is no better time than now to take a leap of faith and start the process of self-discovery and self-mastery. The final outcome is finding that place of happiness and love we spend our lives searching for. First, we have to walk the path.

Cultivating the deeper medicine…

Flower medicine teaches us to expand our perceptions. Like us, each flower carries its own unique energetic signature that goes beyond initial appearances. Nature is the ultimate teacher of home frequency attunement. Each plant grows its authentic expression, and no flower compares itself to another’s medicine. The plant kingdom guides us to remember our innate gifts with the most subtle of teachings. Only a single drop of a flower essence can create a profound shift from within. A flower’s poised presence can gently raise the frequency of any room. Their medicine teaches us that our best gift to others is to be ourselves, and that this is cultivated through the practice of energetic boundaries.

We can steward our ability to connect with our home frequency by practicing energy shielding and clearing. Filling the body with light, releasing old energy and setting energetic boundaries should be a daily practice like showering and getting dressed. Working with allies like flower medicine can be a beautiful daily practice for boundary work and reprogramming default patterns. Cultivate your energy field in a way that connects you to a felt sense of safety and welcomes the things you do want to experience. Boundaries are a way of staying in your own organic timeline and core integrity. When you connect to others from this place, the quality of your relationships and interactions transform– your discernment grows and your relationships become more honest. It’s possible to receive more deeply. This is the beginning of emotional liberation, and is a process that can be uplifted and nourished by the plant spirits.

As the plants model for us, when you see others who inspire you, don’t try to become like them. Instead, discover that frequency within yourself and evolve into your own version of that which they are expressing. Your energy signature is the only one of its kind. You are the aspect of creation that you are for a reason, there is no one like you and never will be. Cherish your uniqueness. Don’t deny it. The plants give us the tools to practice this work, and remind us to trust the timing of our growth cycles.

Humming for Health

 

 

I am a musician and sound healer. My ears are my dominant sense for the intake of information. Visually, I am not very interested in detail. Looking at something intensely is work for me whereas listening to the fullness of the composites of a sound are for me, a delight. I experience the world more through my ears than my eyes. That’s just me. I like to play with sound. It has helped me with many physical and emotional challenges over the years.

Around the age of 40, I was diagnosed with asthma. I had to take medicines that made me very jittery, which I hated. So, I decided to experiment with humming sounds. I thought that if I could find a note that really vibrated my lungs, I could try toning that on a daily basis to see if I could stop using my inhalers. After humming for a while, I found the note! Toning it felt really good to my lungs. I discovered that when I hummed this sound for 20 minutes a day, I no longer had to use my inhalers. My asthma eventually went away, and I didn’t have to hum that note anymore. That’s what made me a believer in the power of sound for healing.

Much later I found out that humming has actually been studied for its health benefits. There are worldwide studies that prove humming lowers heart rate and blood pressure, increases nitric oxide, increases lymphatic circulation, increases melatonin levels, releases endorphins, and releases oxytocin.

I have also used humming to energize my underactive thyroid and to boost my immune system. Humming, like toning, is using an unconscious, natural, human bodily process — consciously. When we hum, all the vibrations stay inside our bodies. It’s like an internal body massage, increasing circulation and oxygenation, a main ingredient for all healing. Humming also increases nitric oxide — a molecule we all possess naturally. Nitric oxide energizes our cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune systems. It causes expansion of our blood vessels, which increases blood flow and lowers blood pressure.

Specifically, humming instantly increases nitric oxide in the nasal passages. This is vitally important in our struggle against this novel coronavirus. The sinuses are where this virus lingers for days before it infects other tissues in the body. Nitric oxide is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Humming while exhaling increases nitric oxide creation to fifteen times the amount created when we normally and quietly inhale. Dr. Deitrich Klinghardt, famed Swiss doctor of medical neurobiology, studied this as much as 15 years ago and found, “Nitric oxide produced in the nasal passages is part of the defense system against bacterial and viral infections.” He suggests whenever no one is listening to you, hum to prevent or treat COVID-19.

 

I am a vibrational expression
Of the Infinite Eternal
Becoming aware of itself
Within the heart of matter.

 

Before I knew any of this information, I used humming to enhance my immune system. I did a meditation every day for 10-15 minutes that kept me healthy for many years. I did it not because I had any logical reason for doing it; I did it because it made me feel great and that was good enough for me. When I felt a scratchiness in my throat, like I was coming down with a cold, a couple of hours later after humming I would notice that feeling was gone, and the cold never manifested. It was because my immune system was so pumped that it could fend off viruses and bacterial infections that were inhaled, like COVID-19. To put it succinctly, matter vibrates, sound is vibration, and therefore sound affects matter. You just need to discover the right sound for the specific piece of matter.

What is the right sound to boost your immune system? It’s a simple gliding up and down a C major scale, using your voice to hum from middle C on the piano (256Hz) up to the octave above it (512Hz). While you hum, you are gliding up slowly to include all of the notes that are contained in the space between the low C and the high C. It sounds like a slide whistle or penny whistle. Then you take a breath and glide back down to the lower C in the same way, sounding all the notes contained in that octave. It’s that simple. If you have no way to find the sound of middle C, there are plenty of tone generators online that can play it for you, or you could use a chromatic C-to-C pitch pipe to find the note.

Finding the note that truly vibrates your sinuses is very powerful. Put your fingers on either side of your nose and hum up and down until you find the sound that really vibrates your nose and sinuses, and keep humming it! Adding intention to the hum makes it even more powerful. Speaking a thought or sound makes it tangible. The thought is no longer invisible and silent. Speaking it gives it substance — a body. It takes up space and exists. Creation stories throughout ancient traditions, including Christianity, identify sound as the primal creative force.

Intentional sound is very powerful. The breath is the initiator and carrier of all vocal sounds. Using the consciousness of the breath as a carrier for heartfelt intention expressed through humming is a profoundly useful sound healing technique that can be very beneficial to your health.

The Gratitude Ritual

Gratitude is a super word, exactly like the concept of “super food”, because it is charged with our highest emotions. Gratitude is a high vibration or high frequency feeling. We are all grateful for many things; however, we usually take the expression of gratitude a bit lightly, we do not express how thankful we are for a myriad of things in our lives.

Science has studied the effects of gratitude in us and it has been found that being grateful powers our immune system or boosts our health. Gratitude has a positive effect on our levels of happiness, it helps us develop our memory, make us reflect on our lives, helps us find solutions to unpleasant situations, and much more.

Many successful people, and I do not mean it in the sense of money only, do gratitude rituals. This article is you invitation to start your own Gratitude Ritual. This is what you can do:

Every morning, when waking up, you are going to think about three things you are grateful for about a particular area of your life. I highly recommend that you write these things down, so you create a Gratitude Journal to which you can come back any time for inspiration. If writing is not to your liking, just think of three things and feel their meaning in your heart. Here is a guide to follow:

Day 1

What are you grateful about your life today?

Day 2

What are you grateful about your family today?

Day 3

What are you grateful about your friends today?

Day 4

What are you grateful about your job today?

Day 5

What are you grateful about your body today?

Day 6

What are you grateful about your health today?

Day 7

What are you grateful about your inner or spiritual self today?

The list is infinite, because life in itself is full of wonderful things and it is always surprising us. You can come up with your own questions and add to this ritual, like lighting a candle or listening to calming music or meditating.

I left for the end one of the most inspiring fact about gratitude, because it is so utterly true that the only way to explain this is by experience. When you are grateful, your manifestation skills become powerful, you are able to create and manifest your constructive desires in a quick and concrete way. I invite you to experience the power of gratitude.
