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?

Unintentional Flaws of Intention

November 18th, 2010

** Mark your calendars!! **

~ Full Moon Group Abundance Meditation on Sunday 11-21-2010 @ 11am & 11pm EST ~
There’s nothing to sign up for.  Bring a friend.  Or a hundred friends.
For more information, check in here.


Back in October, I’d set an intention with the New Moon to lose fourteen pounds in four weeks.  Here I am five weeks later, and I’ve not only NOT lost the fourteen, but I managed to gain two.

I wasn’t terribly worried about it.  I could see it happening as it was happening and I let it be.  I had a lot going on and each day it seemed like there was always a different reason why I couldn’t go work out.

And I’m not just talking “excuses” I was making to not go.  I had a sick child one week and then the other one was sick the following week.  They weren’t home from school all those days, but they were home for some.

Can’t really go to the gym with a sickie at home.

But anyway, none of that matters.

This morning on Lilypad Paradise, my quote was about will.  It reminded me of when I quit smoking and when I lost 40 pounds a few years ago.  I enjoyed starting my day thinking about how strong my will can be and how powerful I am when I use it.

I went to Curves this morning and worked out hard.  I mean, I really put my focus into it.  I zeroed in on the muscle group I was on, and made each move with purpose.  Today’s the first day I’ve been there this week.

On my way home, I wandered off on a train of thought about how good it felt to work out after having not done it for a couple weeks.  I thought about how good I feel inside my body when I work out regularly.  I thought about how I need to really MAKE this workout a regular part of my morning routine.

“Too bad I couldn’t get a grip and lose those 14 pounds last month….”

As soon as that thought reared it’s ugly head, the realization hit me.  I didn’t lose the weight and I was unable to stick with it and find the time and I also ate like a pig for the entire month…. and it’s because of that intention.

I wasn’t intending growth, I was intending improvement.  But I don’t need to improve.  I am as I am and that’s the way I’m supposed to be.  As soon as I officially intended to lose that weight and “improve” myself, or rather how I saw myself, I think my subconscious took the hit and suddenly I ate everything in sight in a self soothing manner.  Suddenly I was far too over taxed and put upon to find free time to work out.  That fits in with that whole martyrdom thing too.

I think I need to focus my intentions into having a regular morning routine that includes my Lilypad Paradise quote of the day, meditation, and exercise.  That will put my focus more on feeling good and being happy and healthy.  I already meditate and do my quote.  Now to integrate the exercise… Oh great, now I’m thinking about affirmations DURING exercise. Hmmmm…

As a side note, I’m also reminded that creating is downstream while LOSING or getting rid of is very upstream thinking.

Growth.

No more improvements for me!!

I’ll Keep You in My Prayers

August 31st, 2010

How many times have I heard someone say that?  Probably thousands.

I have to wonder though, just what are they doing when they are keeping me in their prayers.  How do they hold me in their prayers.  What image do I take in their mind as they pray for me?

It’s occurred to me recently that the image one holds in their mind as they pray is probably more important than the actual prayer itself.

After I read the book Mirror Therapy back in July, I began doing this meditation.  It’s not something from the book, but it uses things I learned about in the book.

So if you ever hear me say that I will pray for you… this is what you’re signing up for.

The basic premise is, once I go into a relaxed state, I see my “soul mirror,” which I’ve constructed in my own imagination and is unique to only me.  When I look in my soul mirror, I see my soul looking back at me.  Basically my soul looks exactly like me, only perfect.  Glowing.  Beautiful.  Untouched.  Unharmed.  Ageless.  Angelic even.

I imagine my soul looking back at me with complete love and acceptance, smiling with warmth.  I send love and light into my soul mirror and my soul radiates love and light back at me.

Now, I choose another person.  Someone whom I am wanting to “pray” for.  I see their soul looking back at me from their own unique soul mirror.  Just like mine, their soul looks like the perfect, ageless, beautiful, angelic Being that they truly are.  They are smiling out at me with the same warmth and love as in my mirror.  I behold the image of their beauty and perfection and once again send love and light into their mirror, bathing them in love.  I feel the same energy radiating from their souls back to me.

I have come to believe that when Jesus walked through towns and healed people, it was a variation of THIS prayer that he used.

I’ve heard some current day gurus philosophize that the reason Jesus could heal people in that way was because he didn’t see the malady.  He saw only the pure, perfect child of God that is the reality, and therefore by the laws of consciousness, the lesser vibration of the diseased had to rise and meet that of the healer.  He literally injected them with love, light, and complete faith in their well-being.

My grandmother was rather ill a while back and I said I’d pray for her.  How could I do her any good at all by holding the image of an ailing person in my mind and begging for her health.  The first thing that comes to mind is that, you should always hold the image of what you want to see in your mind.  So right there has me seeing her healthy.  The second thing is, I would never request her healing or regained health.  Those are back-words for disease.  I asked that she maintain her healthy balance and be vibrant and happy.

Only I didn’t ask.  I didn’t see her perfection in her mirror and say, “Dear God, please bring my grandma her healthy balance and make her vibrant and healthy.”

If I said that, I would be praying to a God that is outside of me.  The divinity is within.

Within the act of SEEING her as who she TRULY is…. her SOUL… and seeing her in that perfect state of Being, the request exists.  Only it’s not even a request, because to request something implies the possibility of the lack of fulfillment, but in praying this way, I find that there IS no possibility of lack of fulfillment.  That IS her soul.  It IS perfect and whole and the total sum of all she has the potential to be.  It already IS fulfilled.

I believe that seeing the souls of the people I pray for and knowing that what I see, literally already IS sure amps up the “faith” part of the equation.

When I pray for you, I do not see what you could potentially be or have.  I see a representation of the divine force within you, and encourage you to recognize it for yourself by projecting love to it  and helping it grow.

*How do you pray?

My affirmations until ….. ? I LOVE these 3!!!~
I AM a miracle in motion~ Only more miracles can come from me*
My words have power~ I will choose them wisely*
Wonderful new experiences give me wonderful new ways to express the divinity that I am*
