all hell breaking loose....

(http://www.clusterballoon.org/index/index_01.jpg)

Up up and away...it can make you feel giddy!

Over the past few days, a number of dear friends have spoken to me on the issue of using new spritual techniques in order to change and grow and how invariably, "all hell breaks loose" at the point where you are finally feeling GOOD about the new stuff--and it feels like backsliding or scary and why does this type of thing happen...this is what i wrote..


oh, this is a lovely thing to talk about--because people hear the term and they get scared! I like the idea of it being like shaking things up--and cleaning house...

what i have also noticed, and this came up for me the other day after meeting with a very gifted spiritual healer who worked on some VERY OLD holding in my body and released it--that most of the time when you release an energetic holding pattern that you unconsciously felt was "protecting" you--you draw to YOU once again, an event or situation that tests the actual need for the holding--you go through the process then without that holding pattern and you deal with the event in a different way...thus--it is now completely released...

example...

I had some energetic holding (stagnant energy aka resistance aka body armor) in my sacral and root chakras...i understood already that many of my issues in life have dealt with these two areas--a number of abuse issues, spoke to the sacral chakra holding--but the root chakra issues spoke to a feeling of being picked on--a feeling of not being allowed to be different, and a feeling that NO one would stand up for me in life--that i always had to take care of myself--I knew what the issues were--and i had been working on releasing them myself--but sometimes it takes a gifted hand to HELP vibrationally because our holding patterns are sometimes so ingrained, so subtle, we dont even "feel" them anylonger...

so, she released this stuff...and the VERY next day--all hell broke loose for me regarding the root chakra issues...i had someone Pick on me related to something i was doing that was highly sucessful--to the point she reported me to the administration related to that project...and even though i was RIGHT--I felt so angry--so hurt, and did not understand why she would pick on me, although i knew energetically that it related to jealousy--which is not an emotion that i have EVER had in my being--so, i dont understand the driving force behind it...

in the past, i would have kept this to myself--i would have held it in--and i wouldnt have asked for help--this time--i cried out loud, i allowed myself to FEEL the emotions i felt and then, i asked for help--and this time--instead of feeling rejected and alone--people came to my aid--stood up for me--made things right...and it felt good--because i reached out where i wouldnt have done that before...i have been completely able to release this because i know its not about me--i was just an easy target, and it wasnt about ME being less than--it was about ME thinking on the situation and seeing it was NOT MY TRUTH...

so, yes, all hell broke loose--and i dealt with it in a different way than ever before--because i didnt fall back on old patterns--and it felt marvelous afterwards...

here's to all hell breaking loose--and shaking things up a bit!

happy mothers day--in gratitude to all the mothers i have had...

Eternal mother of the universe--conduit of all physical children--we thank you

ON this mothers day, I sat in bed with a big plate of home made french toast that my kids made for me, reading home made cards and loving my new red sox jersey that my family got me for mothers day...and i feel so blessed and thankful for my life--my family team--my soul group--for being a mother, and for all the mothers i have had through eternity...for as an eternal being that has manifested many times, i have come into vibrational alignment with many women--with many souls who have agreed to be the vessel for my physical manifestation...

how wonderful is that???? I got to choose! They got to choose! the agreement was made in the non-physical again and again--and souls shared a journey here on earth!

For me, being a mother, and an artist, it was such a joy to look at the physical creation of my girls as the ultimate act of creativity--the sacral chakra is indeed a creative and emotional center--and the uterus and ovaries are right there in the center of it--soaking up all that creative energy and emotional passion...I also find it interesting to see how, in microcosm--the ovary is its own creative universe...energy is focused, potential is gathered, physical matter is created, and if all the requirements are met, that tiny physical speck of matter expands its potential to be the vessel for a soul! wow....and it happens again and again and again and again-all over the world, every day, every year, a new mother and a new child makes a soul agreement and a new point of physical perspective is created for the universe!

whooo hooo---WE are god--we are--we are the conduit through which spiritual matter is incarnated here on earth...we are the ultimate creators of the physical beings who inhabit this plane of consciousness! we are powerful, and gentle, strong, and loving, nurturing and creative, supporting and passionate...

We read stories
we create stories
we tuck kids into bed
we wipe snotty noses
we share joy and excitement
we calm fears
we teach by example
we pass on tradition
we share history
we wrap our arms around the world
we raise and watch grow
we nurture and tend
and then, we let go....and let fly....and watch life again manifest--away from us...as it should be...

here is to the blessing of mother hood...to all mothers out there--we have all been born from woman--not one of us is here who hasnt come out of a womb...some of us have shared life with our mothers, some have not--some have experienced great love and kindness from our mothers, some have experienced great contrast from our mothers--but we have ALL been born of a mother--and that mother in the physical agreed from the non-physical to give us what we desired--which was LIFE....and love so profound that they would give us the hard knocks we asked for...we expected and we desired, in order to become the expanded spiritual beings we are striving to become...

how to talk about things and not add energy to them...

(http://www.exploring-possibilities.com/wp-content/uploads/people%20talking%202.jpg)

Having a heart-to-heart doesnt mean you will get more of what you dont want...

Someone was asking me about discussing past issues, or current challenges in light of what the Law of Attraction folks say about getting what you talk about--if you dont want to add energy to a subject so as not to attract more of it-do you just ignore it? cover it up? hide from it? how do you discuss it without it coming back to bite you in the butt?

one of the most valuable pieces of information regarding the universe is this...

if YOU decide on a process that feels good to YOU--and you get in alignment with that....then the universe will bend over backwards to make that so for you...you literally CREATE your own TRUTH...

That said--i have with a dear soul sister friend of mine developed a process that really works so you CAN discuss anything that is in your current now--or anything that was in your past that you feel reflects on your current now, without ADDING energy to that thing...

If you have ever seen or heard about how they do open heart surgery--they use a blood recirculator--this system takes all the blood out of the body and recycles it through the brain and body, thus nurturing the body, but it bypasses the main pumping muscles of the heart, so they can operate on it without the person losing all their blood...when i talk to certain people about things i am currently experiencing, i use a similar system like this--its a spiritual energy recirculator and it works like this...

If i feel the need to "open the valve to let off steam" i get into a mental place where i say--i am disconnecting my main power from the universe and i am going to recirculate...

I can then, VENT, RANT, BITCH, MOAN, feel sad, discuss, whatever, knowing full well that what i am talking about in that brief time is not affecting my overall vibration--and that energy is not going out to the universe...this place is also the VAULT...what goes in, does not go out--and we trade time talking about what we need to talk about, but whatever we hear is put in the vault and doesnt come out again--it isnt even thought about, or worried about, or dwelt on by the other partner--because you cant love and worry at the same time--its completely opposite vibrations

At the end of the discussion period, i always find a better feeling place on the matter--and then i honor the contrast, or the situation, that created in me a huge rocket of desire that set off a creative vortex to make my life even better--i do not leave that space of recirculation until i find even a little bit better feeling place and a little bit of hope...I then "mentally and spiritually reconnect with my main power source" and i thank my "witness" the person working with me on the issue for the blessing of having them sit and observe in a non-judgemental and unconditionally loving way...

i have created this mental process for myself--aligned with it--felt good about it, used it to great success and so--it IS....

others feel fear about discussing what is because they will draw more of that to them--and i can understand that--if i were talking about these issues constantly and trying to get sympathy for them, or have someone else give me solutions to them, then i would definitely be drawing them to me...

but to voice what is--release any pent up energy around it, so your cork is floating nicely downstream and then find a better feeling place--that is a wonderful thing...because, as a life long sailor--i KNOW full well that if you are running with the wind it takes a lot to turn that boat around and tack in another direction--especially if the current is strong...

hugs!

That little voice.....is HUGE...

(http://www.themineofinformation.com.au)
Your solar plexus chakra...the center of your intuition and personal power~

More on intuition--i found this in my perusing some of my older writings....

Someone asked me if that little voice that spoke through their heart was indeed their inner spirit, or was the voice that spoke inside their head their inner spirit....one spoke not so often, but usually with love--the other spoke all the time, but usually with doubt or fear or criticism...here is my answer...

To answer your question about the little voice...it was indeed your Inner Spirit speaking to you through your intuition--it was your INITIAL response to the situation--the intuition works through the solar plexus chakra at the center of your being, about a hand width below the sternum--and thats where you feel either the butter flies or the sick to your stomach feeling when you think about a situation...

Our solar plexus's are amazing early response energy readers--not only are they reading the energy of each and every moment we are in--but they are reading and translating as the VIBRATIONS of a manifestation that we have desired are coming into sync with our reality....they KNOW before we do what is going to happen and they speak to us daily--

Always go with your gut--period...i have NEVER known a situation where i heard my GUT speak and it wasnt the right choice--if you listen to the voice in your head spreading Doubt, you are never listening to your Inner Spirit...

and i would also posit that our Inner Spirit never tells us NOT to do something--our Inner Spirits are not about fear, or doubt, or pulling away from something--instead of telling US not to do something--our Inner Spirits are always telling us how to GO towards well being for ourselves along our path...

if something is TELLING you not to do it--its GENERALLY our old negative loop talking to us--our old fear based habits...that voice that speaks with the desires of society, your parents, your emotional and behavioral molders...and the reason it feels so very bad is because it is NOT your truth~!

so, go with the flow down to well being on the whisper of your intuition and know that when you align with your decision-the universe will turn itself into a pretzel to make sure your desires are answered! And that wicked ROCKS!

The chakras— colored lights of the physical body

(http://www.sacredcenters.com/chakras.html)

You are a living rainbow of energy and light!

There are many exquisite portrayals of the energy chakras from ancient times, showing beautifully colored flowers overlaying the body. Each flower has a different number of petals and corresponds to a different vibrational energy center in the body.

Other traditions show the centers as wheels of light, others as rays of light. I like to think of my chakras as flower bud shaped energy centers that can twirl open as a bud unfolds and flowers in the morning light, and twirl closed in the twighlight as the plant goes to sleep.

The body has literally thousands of individual energy points, but for simplicity I will deal with the 7 major chakras, their representative colors, locations, related gland and what they are doing in your body for you. I will also cover a few other chakras that are of great use to women in general for creatively communicating with their environment and spirituality.

Lets take a look at the Rainbow of light:

1^st--Crown Chakra—White—Pineal Gland--Just above the top of the head where the center fontanel existed as an infant. This is the many petaled lotus chakra and represents our divine interaction with spirituality. This is the center of peace and enlightenment. It is the highest vibrational chakra in the physical body, and it directs communication with our soul and with the universal consciousness. When you feel at one with the universe and divine love is coursing through your body, this is where it is coming through.

2^nd--Brow Chakra or Third Eye Chakra—Purple—Pituitary Gland--Between the eyebrows two finger widths above the brow bone, this is the chakra of psychic vision, precognition and prophesy. This is the center of extra-sensory energy interpretation, which is an ability all human beings have to varying degrees. When you feel de ja vu, have prophetic dreams of read someones thoughts, you are using your inner vision through this energy center. The more you believe it is possible, the more you acknowledge these insights, the stronger your psychic muscle will get.

3^rd--Throat Chakra—Blue—Thyroid Gland--Directly on the adams apple, at the center of the throat is the throat chakra. This is the chakra for speaking your voice and communicating your truth. It is also the chakra that helps you in your desire making changes in your life. If you find you are stifling your emotions and not telling others how you feel about things, you will have a feeling of closing off in this chakra as if you have a sore throat, or feel a huge “lump” in your throat when you are not allowing your emotions their natural flow through your body and are swallowing your feelings. Release of the emotions or a speaking of your truth will immediately release these blocks. When you are public speaking, standing up for your beliefs or trying to create compromise in your life, you are using the energy of this chakra.

Alter Major Chakra—Brown—This chakra is located on the BACK of your neck above your shoulder blades and it is the only chakra that opens up to the back of the body and spins in opposition to the other chakras. This is the chakra that “has your back” and if you listen to its signals it will literally give you “eyes in the back of your head”. This chakra will speak to you as hairs standing up on the back of your neck when something unwanted is impending. It will also speak to you as a miraculous opening and tingling as if your angel wings are spreading when you come into direct contact with divine energy in the form of spirit guides, guardian angels or earthly spirits. It will also flair remarkably when you come into contact with a soul mate or someone who will make a strong emotional connection with you and who is meant to promote spiritual growth within you.

4^th—Heart Chakra—Pink OR Green—Thymus Gland and Lungs--Certain traditions view heart energy as pink, others, in line with the physical spectrum of light, place the chakra energy as green. You can choose which feels best for you when visualizing this amazing heart center. It is located a hand width below the collar bone notch directly between the breasts, and it is the center of romantic and emotional love and attachment. This is where you feel love of family, romantic love, love of self and universal love and acceptance. The heart chakra has the amazing ability to send forth energy cords that will connect directly with the heart chakras of those you love, almost like an energy umbilical chord that connects you always. These bonds can be balanced and go both ways, or they can go one way if another is not sending love in return, which can be very depleting. The heart bonds can also be broken when you separate emotionally from a love—and this is why it hurts so much to have a broken heart because the heart bonds are being severed and energy is leaking out of them. In a later chapter, I will discuss ways to evaluate heart bonds and tools to keep them healthy, or heal them if they are no longer serving you.

Xiphoid Process-Lower Heart Chakra—muddy pink or green—Directly on the physical xiphoid process which is the very tip of the sternum, suspended directly below the ribcage connection and near the diaphragm, this is the lowest of the heart chakras and it is the center of personal guilt. You may find that even to touch this tiny protrusion brings you pain because there is so much negative energy, disappointment and personal and familial guilt focused there. This is the place where every negative comment, every “should have” every “must do” and every “not good enough” will settle into your body. Whenever you feel not good enough or guilty about anything, you feel that “sinking feeling in your stomach” and that’s the xiphoid process speaking. The minute you release these negative emotions that are holding you back, with full knowing through your soul that you are wonderful just the way you are and that the universe is unfolding your life with you exactly as it should, that area becomes filled with love and light for you and no one will be able to make you feel guilty again for not being who THEY want you to be. I will discuss ways of clearing this area in a subsequent chapter.

5^th—Solar Plexus—Power Chakra—Yellow—Pancreas, Liver and Abdominal Organs--Directly under the the xiphoid process and diaphragm, you can feel this chakra when you place your palm below your breasts on the top of your tummy. This is the center of your PERSONAL power. This is where YOU are shining like the sun, as it is the center of your personal identity. This is where you are drawing fortitude and motivation and gumption and a feeling of being invincible. This is where you are feeling you are all powerful and you are goddess and can make anything happen in your world. The solar plexus is also a highly evolved energy interpreter and is the center of your intuition. When you have butterflies in your stomach, or feel sick to your stomach, it is both times, your solar plexus speaking to you because it is reading the vibrational energy of what is about to come into your life and it is sending you a strong signal—by dumping adrenalin into your solar plexus chakra and body—whether what is to come is beneficial or not. This is what people are talking about when they say “listen to your gut” or you have a “gut feeling about something or someone”. When the solar plexus speaks, do not second guess by thinking with your intellect. If you trust it and listen to its guidance, it will continue to strengthen into a very powerful tool for you to read your environment and your immediate future. When energy is low in other chakras, you can always draw forth the energy in the solar plexus chakra to energize the other chakras, and I will be discussing that process in another chapter.

6^th—Sacral Chakra—Navel Chakra—Orange—Reproductive Organs--Directly below the belly button, in the center of your abdomen, above your uterus is the Sacral Charka. This is the center of your sexual energy, the center of your powerful emotions and the center of the balance between your masculine and feminine aspects, as depicted through the ying/yang symbol. This is also the center for self acceptance. Oriental traditions also place the Hara in this area which is the center of chi or life energy and a receptacle for prana, which is the divine life force given to humans through the breath. When you feel sexual arousal, sexual bonding, chemistry or magnetism, you are feeling it with this very powerful chakra. This is the center of the Divine Feminine and creativity and is representative of amazing power and unlimited potential. When you honor your creative side and allow that to flow into your life, you are using energy from this chakra, whether it is creating a beautiful painting or a beautiful baby, it is the center of all physical creation on earth. This is also the center where you will feel and send out strong emotions, such as anger and rage. It is a chakra most in need of balancing, because the energy can get very high and you can feel agitated. This is why its important to honor your sexual needs and also balance your emotional reactions to situations by releasing and balancing the energy in this chakra, which I will discuss in a later chapter. This is also the chakra where you can come into communication with your masculine side. The soul is neither masculine nor feminine, but contains aspects of both. It is very beneficial for a woman to be able to access masculine aspects of herself so she can feel her power and own her sexuality.

7^th—Root Chakra—Ground Chakra—Red—Organs of Elimination and Adrenal Glands--Located at the tip of your tail bone or coccyx and expressing energy through your perineum (area directly below the vaginal opening and above the anus) and clitoris this is your center of physical grounding. This is the lowest vibrational chakra and deals with primal life issues, such as survival, reproduction (it is the male sexual chakra), comfort and stability. This is also the home of the Kundalini energy, represented by the caduceus or snake, which is the ancient marriage between the goddess Shakti (creativity energy) and Shiva (intellectual energy). When you are connected through your root chakra, you are connected to the earth and you feel stable and grounded, drawing earth energy up through that chakra, which combines with the divine energy coming into the crown chakra, and you are centered and completely at peace and comfortable with where you are. If you have issues with stability, feeling safe, “having your head in the clouds” or an inability to focus on the maintenance aspects of life, you may need to work on root chakra energy, which we will discuss in a later chapter.

Palm and Sole Chakras—These chakras are represented by symbols and not colors and are located in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The hand chakras are represented by all-seeing eyes at the center of the palms and the feet chakras by roots going deeply into the ground. These chakras are energy senders and receivers. The right palm is generally used to send energy out and the left palm is generally drawing energy in for interpretation by the solar plexus. Whenever healers lay on hands, they are using these very sensitive and powerful chakras to detect energy shifts in the body and to send healing energy and light into the body. Individuals who practice Reiki and other body work utilize these chakras. The sole chakras are used to ground the body, literally sending energetic roots down into the earth. They keep a physical being from ascending into a higher spiritual level too rapidly, allowing a gentle transformation, as increased spiritual energy can be quite uncomfortable for the body before the body is ready for the new level. Acting like anchors, they also provide security to the physical body on the earthly plane. The sole chakras also aid the intuition by gauging the new arena a physical body is walking into—they test the water, test the thickness of the ice, and make sure the ground is stable. Did you ever wonder how your feet could be so sensitive to what you are walking over even through thick soled shoes? It is because the Sole chakras are reading the energy and assisting the nerve endings in the feet to get a better picture of you path.

Once you know that the chakras exist and a bit about what they represent in the body, you can take the next step and feel the chakra energy for yourself. Sit quietly in a comfortable position at a time you will not be disturbed. Have the environment comfortably warm and wear loose clothing or naked if you choose to be so. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths through your nose and out of your nose and get into a state of relaxation. Take your hands and rub them together vigorously in front of your face and feel the warmth in the palms of your hands. Take your right and and place it parallel to your body about 2-3 inches away and run it slowly from the very top of your head down the midline of your body to your pelvis and between your legs to your tailbone. You can also run your hand down the back of your neck, down your spine and to your tailbone if you are flexible. You will notice definite warm spots in the air above those chakra points that we have discussed. This is your chakra energy coming out and interacting with the environment and the universals energy. Some chakras will feel warmer than others, and these are the chakras that are most highly active in your body. You can make a note of which chakras are warmer and then go back and see if there are any corresponding issues you are dealing with in your life related to those chakras. You may even have a corresponding health challenge related to the glands that are governed by those chakras that are cooler or less active. It is wonderfully comforting to know that by flowing energy through the chakras and focusing your desire, using the law of attraction that you can facilitate change in any area of your body and energy system.

You can also play with opening and closing the chakras. Sit as you were and rub your hands together vigorously, then repeat the process of running the hand parallel to the body until you find an energy center. When you have located a center, close your eyes and set your focus on that area and imagine it as either the eye of a camera lense or a flower bud furled closed—then, IMAGINE that the camera lens is opening or the flower bud is unfurling open—the chakras open up towards the right of the body, and you may feel a definite opening or surge in energy in that area. You can then close the chakra to the left of your body and sense the disconnection from outward energy flow. Try this a few times with the different chakras, always imagining them at their perfect position when you move away from them to practice on another chakra.

There are many wonderful teachers who discuss chakras, chakra cleansing, balancing and other details. Please do an internet search to gain further insight into this amazing energy system that is working for your body and soul every day!

Energize me baby…with all the colors of the rainbow!

A. Your halo is showing….Auras and energy bodies

When you gaze upon a religious painting of Jesus or any of the ancient saints, you will see a round halo of gold or silver often painted into the portrait, indicating the divine nature of the subject. We imagine angels with sparkling halos as well, demonstrating how holy and good they are.

Well, guess what? We all have halos! That’s only the start of the magnificent energy system that is present in your body, and this energy system is sending out feelers into the universe, and taking in other energy and interpreting it for our personal use. WE all have a physical body, an energy body and a spiritual body, and each sees and interacts with the universe in different ways.

Ancient Yogic traditions in India first began to chart these energy centers that they called Chakras, centuries ago. Chinese medicinal systems also chart energy meridians in the body called Chi points thousands of years ago. Most western medicine and spiritual practices understood the need for the physical being to know about and take care of their energy body as a way to maintain health and high vibration.

As I have already discussed, we are vibrational energy, and our physical bodies are vibrating at a lower rate of frequency because we are dense physical matter operating on a physical plane (think of a thermometer and use it as a guage to judge the differences in vibration, the lower the temperature, the lower the vibration, the lower the energy—your body is about 98 degrees Fahrenheit). The next level of vibration that is attached to your physical body and covers it is your AURA and that is vibrating at a much higher rate because it is energy matter operating on an energy plane (lets say about 103 degrees Fahrenheit), and this Aura deals with incoming and outgoing energy communication within the physical and emotional plane. It is also called the Etherial body and it is a direct energy protection system for the physical body. Vibrating even higher and more diffuse from the body is the Emotional body (at about 106 degrees Fahrenheit on a thermometer) and this is the energy area where your thoughts are beginning to interact with Universal energy consciousness and create the manifestations of your desires. Vibrating even higher than that is the Mental body (at about 110 degrees Fahrenheit on the thermometer) and this is where your physical incarnation is directly intersecting with your own spiritual being.

Many traditions get even more detailed with the layers of energy contained in the transformation from the physical body into the spiritual realms. You can imagine all these energy layers as concentric circles surrounding the body and radiating out pure divine energy from the body, and receiving pure divine energy into the body in a dynamic flow that is constantly moving and constantly being interpreted by both the physical body, the direct environment of other individuals and earth matter, and the universe in general.

Since I want to keep it simple, suffice it to say, that these energy bodies exist to your benefit, and we will look more closely at the AURA energy, which is the level that anyone can see with the naked eye. I will list some reading materials at the end of the book that can help you accomplish this task if you choose to do so. It really is quite a fun thing to do!

Your Aura is like an energy bubble around you, and it indicates to the world your predominant vibration. Since vibrational energy can be interpreted as light energy, it will show up as a color. Each color is representative of a specific focus or general life path, and you can go online or review the suggested reading to find out more specifics.

The Aura is the first line of contact for the physical body. You can FEEL it when someone enters your Aura, or you are receiving energy from outside of yourself. When someone comes into your Aura that you are not comfortable with, it will feel as if they are standing too close to you, or your space is being violated, and this is definitely true, because their energy is intermingling with yours at a very close range. You can also feel tremendous calm, love and relief when someone you are close to comes into your energy field because your energies are mingling and it feels very good.

Your Aura is what keeps your energy your own and allows you to pick and choose who’s energy you allow into your divine space. Your Aura senses energy coming in and then interprets it based on a soul level and gives you a gentle nudge, by the way you are feeling as to whether this energy is something that is wanted or unwanted. I am sure you can all remember when someone gave you a “bad vibe” or someone made you “vibe high”. This is all your wonderful Aura’s doing! Your Aura is the first line of your intuition, which I will discuss in greater detail in a subsequent chapter.

You can practice feeling the Aura, by sitting quietly and rubbing your palms together vigorously for a few seconds…then face the palms together at about a 2 foot distance, close your eyes and slowly bring the palms together. You will feel a very distinct change in the air between your hands, almost as if you are touching a warm cushion of air that bulges as you press into it.

You can also stand across the room from a playmate and with your hands extended, palms facing outward, walk towards each other until you feel a warm sensation in the center of your palms. You have reached the outer edge of their denser energy fields and you can FEEL the increased vibration as you walk into it—you can continue closer and you will notice more levels of warmth and feelings of connection as you come closer and move through each of their energy bodies.

You can also charge your aura by imagining rainbow colored light pouring out of your head like a fountain, cascading down the bubble that represents your aura and coming back into the body at the feet. This is a very rejuvenative and energizing practice that can be done at the end of the day to bring peace and contentment back into the body and washes away any residual energy that is of a lower vibration.

If you feel that you are in a situation where your Aura is being taxed or energy is coming into your aura that you are not sure of, you can immediately close the aura, by crossing your ankles one over the other and making the OK sign with your thumb and forefinger on each hand and intertwining the two circles. This can be done in private or in public as it is rather discrete, and you will immediately feel a sense of peaceful disconnection where you can then focus your desire, through the law of attraction on a more harmonious continuation of the situation and an increase in personal energy.

Exploring our Aura and energy body is so cool because it makes you realize you are MUCH bigger than you think you are, and you are interacting with the environment and the universe in many more ways than just using your five senses. This can bring a huge sense of self confidence, knowing that the energy system is there and working on your behalf even when you are not actively engaging it.

That little inner voice is WICKED powerful!

Someone recently asked me what that feeling in the pit of your stomach is when you are faced with a decision that has weighty consequences on both ends of the spectrum...sometimes it feels like butterflies, sometimes it feels like you are gonna hurl--what IS that feeling, and is it connected to our inner spirits?????....i thought it would be cool to share my response here--because SO many people have those feelings, and they get freaked out about them--if they really KNEW what they were, they would feel so much relief and go with the flow more, trusting their own guidance system! So, here goes..

---------------------------------------------

To answer your question about the little voice...it was indeed your Inner Spirit speaking to you through your intuition--it was your INITIAL response to the situation--the intuition works through the solar plexus chakra at the center of your being, about a hand width below the sternum--and thats where you feel either the butter flies or the sick to your stomach feeling when you think about a situation...The chakra vibration of this area is represented by the color yellow and is also considered the center of personal power and confidence.

Our solar plexus's are amazing early response energy readers--not only are they reading the energy of each and every moment we are in--but they are reading and translating as the VIBRATIONS of a manifestation that we have desired are coming into sync with our reality....they KNOW before we do what is going to happen and they speak to us daily--

Always go with your gut--period...i have NEVER known a situation where i heard my GUT speak and it wasnt the right choice--if you listen to the voice in your head spreading Doubt, you are never listening to your Inner Spirit...

and i would also posit that our Inner Spirit never tells us NOT to do something--our Inner Spirits are not about fear, or doubt, or pulling away from something--instead of telling US not to do something--our Inner Spirits are always telling us how to GO towards well being for ourselves along our path...

if something is TELLING you not to do it--its GENERALLY our old negative loop talking to us--our old fear based habits...

so, go with the flow down to well being on the whisper of your intuition and know that when you align with your decision-the universe will turn itself into a pretzel to make sure your desires are answered!
