Energy Raising & a Countdown

March 6th, 2011

~ The Nineteen Things I Love About Spring Countdown!! ~

Fourteen days to go until spring has sprung!!!

#14~ Dry Roads

I know with all the spring showers, there’s plenty of wet to be had, but the weather is kinder.  It may rain, but with rising temperatures it stays wet for shorter stretches.  I love being able to get back out on the road on my bicycle with my pack.  My pack loves it too.

They get tired of the treadmill.

I started doing this energy building exercise last week, and now I’m noticing the flow of energy seems to be starting on its own now.

What you do is, imagine a bright, warm, white light coming down from above and entering your crown chakra, at the crown of your skull.  It flows down to your solar plexus (where your lowest ribs come together on your front) and swirls. All this is on the inhale.  Then, on the exhale, you imagine that beam of white light beaming out from your solar plexus and into the Universe.

It’s supposed to build energy, raise your vibration, and puff up and strengthen you auric field.

It’s been a full week that I’ve been doing this little exercise and this morning when I simply thought about doing it, I started to feel that tingly feeling on the top of my head.  I didn’t relax or take a deep breath or try to do anything.  I just thought, “I want to make sure I take a minute this morning to do that exercise,” and immediately the crown of my head started to get all prickly and swirly.

That was pretty cool.

They say you have energy memory and once you get energy flowing a certain way, it will cut an energetic riverbed that will flow more naturally over time. I find it reassuring that my energy memory is taking hold so fast.

This little exercise experience has shown me not only how easy it is to get positive energy moving through my body and life, but has also illustrated pretty blatantly how chronic disease happens.  If I can create such a beautiful energy flow in just one week’s time, how much time might it take to use negative thoughts and emotion to create negative energy paths or rather, path blockages, and create disease?

WWLD

February 22nd, 2011

I’ve always seen the bumper sticker and shirts and other paraphernalia that circulate that say WWJD (What Would Jesus Do), ever since the phrase came out years ago.

Of course the phrase appealed to me, nut that I am, but not as much as you might think.  It’s just so… I dunno… cliche’ I guess.  And most of the people with these shirts and stickers and key chains don’t DO what Jesus would do anyway, so why bother asking?

I’ve tried to ask myself, “What is the most enlightened response? Does this uplift or put down?”

Well, I have a new one now.  I can’t seem to get it out of my head.  The phrase floats through my mind, even when I’m not faced with a situation in which to use it, and that has showed me that, you don’t have to wait for a reactive situation to use it.

It’s very peace bringing when you are having a conditioned emotional response, but it’s also uplifting when you’re just going about your day.  I have found that I actually enjoy daily, otherwise mundane, tasks when this phrase pops into my head.

What Would Love Do?

At our core, we ARE love.  We are created by love, made of love, and have been given the divine ability to expand that love.

I’m also a believer in love being not only a feeling and an energy, but also an action.  A verb.  So it was very easy for me to think of my divine, higher self as “Love” and ask what that love would do, in an action.  I see the action as Love too.

So basically, what would the loving, perfect, divine Source in me do in this situation to create and share more Love?  What a beautiful question to pause and ask one’s self in any given moment.

I have found myself loving the laundry as I fold it.  Loving the dishes as I wash them.  Loving the food as I prepare it for my family.

Not start to finish.  I’m not standing there with a dreamy, far off, dopey smile on my face, contentedly folding underwear.  But as I shake the wrinkles out of my shirt, I think, “I love this shirt.  I love it’s texture.  The color is so pretty… etc.”

I’m finding more and more love in every situation.  More and more to appreciate.  More and more to smile about.

Try it.  What would Love do?

A Naked & Green Kind of Clean

February 21st, 2011

Greetings my blog family~

I have an odd post today because that’s just how I roll.

First, I would like to say that I am currently immersed in Doreen Virtue’s new book, The Angel Therapy Handbook, and you can expect to get my review on Thursday!

Second, I am also hosting a Waning Moon Banishing Meditation on Thursday at 11 am and 11 pm EST. You can see the event posted on facebook and RSVP as “attending,” or simply comment or reply to this post and I will add you to the reminder list and you will get a reminder email the morning and evening of the event.

And now… the odd part.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

I have managed to rid my home of virtually every chemical cleaner.  The things I use to clean most of the time is Dr. Bronners Sal Suds, which is biodegradable and septic safe, and a homemade, all purpose cleaner I make that is equal parts white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and water, with a drop or 2 of Sal Suds.

So here comes the question of the day.  Don’t you just love scrubbing your tub and/or shower?  Isn’t it just the most fun you can have with your boots on?  No?  I didn’t think so.  It can however, be much easier with your boots OFF… your boots and the rest of your clothes…

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

I have huge, clear, glass doors on my shower.  They’re the most awful things to keep clean.  Spots and streaks and hard water and soap scum and YUCK!

Well, I had an epiphany in the shower last week-ish.  If most of the crap in the shower is left behind from the soap and the water, then why can’t I use the soap and the water to CLEAN it too?  I mean, it’s not like I’ll be naked and slathered in chemical cleaners.  It’s soap for goodness sake.

So I hopped out of the shower and fetched a brand new scrubby pad from under the sink in the kitchen.

I squirted a little soap on the pad and gave the shower doors a quick scrub down and rinsed them before I got out. Wow!  They’re beautiful!  And that is, by FAR, the easiest it’s EVER been for me to clean them.

I squeezed out the scrubby really well and stood it up on the shower rack to dry and it stays there.  The shower and tub is the ONLY thing it is used for.  I’d hate to stand in the shower playing with something that scrubs the toilet.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

So there’s my really odd post.  Maybe it’s TMI..lol.  I have just found it EVER so convenient to do once a week, it makes my bathroom look SO much nicer, it makes me feel good when I look at it.  And it’s one of the beautiful perks of using mild, organic cleaners.  If I wouldn’t use it on myself, why would I want to breath its fumes into my lungs?

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Have a wonderful week, my friends.  See you Thursday!~
