Over the last month, I have been fully stepping into working as a professional intuitive. The evolution has been interesting as I’ve learned to meld this work into harmonious interaction with my NLP and coaching skills. Throughout the course of this synthesis, everything within me coalesced into a deep understanding of who I and and what I am here to do.

With this congruency I’ve walked forward and have received more than I could have asked for in every respect.

I have a highly conscious friend who is fond of saying that the people you interact with will teach you what they need from you…this absolutely true!

In working with people, one of the things that has consistently come up is the desire to have an in-person relationship with their Spirit Guides. However, they have no idea where to begin.

This is what prompted me to create a free Spirit Guide Meditation. I wanted to offer some support to the people who order readings and so I’m happy to announce and launch the recording, here…on the blog.

This meditation is designed to clean your chakra system, achieve a place of connection and openness with your guides as well as travel with the information they share and fully integrate it from the highest spiritual levels into the environmental levels of your physical experience.

With deep love and appreciation, I offer this to my readers, clients and to anyone seeking assistance with connecting to their guides

Be sure to drop me a line to let me know how it is going!

Love and light,

PK

Awoken from a Dream

Last week my husband and kids got a stomach virus all at the same time. I was the only one who was well and I spent several days and nights rushing from person to person doing anything I could to make them comfortable. As they were recovering, I energetically as well as physically cleaned house before becoming ill myself.

I awoke the morning after they were all on the mend to a shift in my body, so I tuned into my own energy throughout the day allowing my physical form to instruct me on how to care for it. I was so grateful for its wisdom, I felt like I had access to the ultimate healer/physician and so I paid close attention to its every need. I sent my body a lot of love and moved through it all with great ease. I was mostly just depleted of energy and I had nearly recovered within the span of a day.

The next evening I was awoken by our daughter who was standing next to the bed stroking my right arm. As I came to full conscious awareness I found that I had been holding my Archangel Michael Pendant while I slept in my left hand. Knowing that this had some sort of significance, I helped my daughter get back to sleep and mentally stored this piece of information for the waking hours ahead.

An Unexpected Reading

That morning, I was concerned about leaving for my NLP Master Practitioner training in San Francisco. Our son had been on again off again sick with the various parts of the virus. Instead of getting it all at once as his father and sister had, he was getting it in stages that were a few days apart. While I was recovered, my energy was still balancing and I felt like I needed to be very gentle with myself.

My friend Raj (who also attends the training) always picks me up from the airport so I phoned him to tell him how I was feeling. During the course of the conversation he gave me a quick reading. As he prepared I grounded and opened myself to source energy. Immediately an image of appeared. I was walking toward a triangular shaped mountain with a jagged snow line. On my left side was the Archangel Michael and on my right the Archangel Raphael. It felt like being brought forth toward Source, like an initiation of light.

The Pendant Meditation

During the weekend the subject of my Archangel Michael Pendant came up often. People who are energetically sensitive are drawn toward it…as if it is communicating something to them on a spiritual level. These attractions and conversations generate the sense of a deep soul level relationship as we recognize the significance of meeting someone who is on our spiritual path of growth.

Considering all of this, it is not surprising that a group of us began to hold it, seeing what we sensed as we did. Raj held it and said that he could hear it speaking but he couldn’t understand what it was saying; he urged me to connect with the pendant and find out. So while we were on our way to a fellow practitioner’s house to watch a viewing of the Princess Bride, he led me through an exercise to find out.

I went into a very deep trance despite being in a Mustang that literally excels at noticing every bump in the road and here is what I found:

The pendant showed me a radio dial and tuning into a clear channel. Raj asked what the pendant is telling me to do and the words, BE YOUR TRUTH came. So then he asked, “How do you be your truth?” I was given the answer, by walking the path of light and love.

Then he queried, “And how do you walk the path of light and love?” At this point I was shown the path directly out in front of me…an intense sense of desire, will and passion emanating from my solar plexus began to form an energetic attraction to the path and I simply replied…I must want to…but there was so much more than these words to that simple realization.

This did not mean mind wanting alone…this meant full body…wanting…the kind of wanting that moves you without your conscious awareness that you have moved.

Compassion and Jesus

The next morning I entered a meditation in which I wanted to get clear about my truth and what the path of love and light means for me. So I went to the place where I usually convene with my higher self, spirit guides and angels. I sat watching the sunrise over the ocean view from an ancient stone wall when I noticed Jesus approaching, flanked by Archangel’s Michael and Raphael.

I moved forward to greet him when he said quite abruptly, yet full of love and compassion that my heart was too small. He reached into my chest, pulled my heart out to where we could both see it, stretched it to an enormous proportion and then returned it to my chest cavity.

I sank to the ground with its weight as I watched him wave and begin to walk away. “Allow yourself to receive love,” he said, “It is always available.” At the sound of his words the new heart in my chest opened like a sponge and beautiful golden light began to flow into it from every direction. Jesus continued, “Love is in the air you breathe, the sunlight that falls on your skin, the animals, plants, trees and in the very gaps of space that create life itself. It’s in silence and it’s in sound. It’s in the people around you…and it’s in you.”

But what about the path of light and my truth? I thought toward his retreating form. “I’ll leave that to Sylvia (my higher self) to explain,” he said. O.k. yes, I thought, but please leave Michael here with me…and in a flash the Archangel was by my side. I gazed out toward Jesus in the distance noticing Michael still walking beside him…looking up into the Archangel’s face I smiled at just how habitual the programmed limitations of the mind are.

The Meaning of the Path

Sylvia spoke from the stone wall where she had been standing. Focus on your heart, she said. Place your full attention on it’s center, be there with it…and notice it deeply.

I did as she said and found myself in a darkened room. All around me were the silhouettes of pregnant bodies, inside the large abdomens were beautiful children of light. I rushed around to each tummy full of child, placed my head against them and spoke loving words of excited encouragement. I was filled with anticipation and couldn’t wait to welcome these radiant souls into the world.

Soon, I began leading the forms to a birthing room. There I helped and witnessed each child be born. I was the first person to hold them and see their beauty and perfection. As I held them and wrapped them up in love…I began to hear their song of light.

I listened for awhile, humming the tune to the infants, noticing their nuances of excitement in response. Then I handed them off to their parents…who would assist them in entering their world. At various stages of development they return for a visit. I again, noticed their beauty and perfection, together we sang the song…and from this place of love I tell them how they’ve grown. They ask me questions and I listen to them deeply…from the level of my soul, providing directional assistance while knowing fully…the curiosity, wonder, excitement, love and pure potentiality that accompanies them on their journey.

Back to Class

Later on that day, I am assisted by the Archangel Raphael in helping a classmate who is a budding empathic healer gain control of her energy after she unintentionally healed another attendee in tears over the difficulty involved in the previous day’s processes.

We hug each other as she comes fully back into herself and her own Source infused balanced energy.

The same love that I felt while holding the babies in my meditation bursts forth from my heart chakra. With Raphael’s gentle and glowing form in my mind, I smile…allow the love to flow and think…ain’t life grand?

This is the continuation of an article I wrote on Valentine’s Day called Manifesting the Love of Your Life, in which I outlined the process of creating your love list and invited you to take my beliefs about love questionnaire to help you determine what energies are operating in your love life.

Armed with your list of what you want in a romantic partner and the belief systems you have about love that have been playing in the background you can now determine how close of a vibrational match you are to getting what you want.

Most people find incongruities at this point…and end up facing the fact that many of their thought patterns (while living in the same space) are in direct conflict with one another. With their energy so divided…it’s easy to see why they’ve been getting the results they have been.

Bringing it all to a clear space, is what I’d like to talk about next.

Adopting the Attitude of Heart-Centered Living

What most of us really want is relationships in which we feel safe to be ourselves, in which we can let down our walls and in which we don’t have to hide or guard our vulnerabilities.

This viewpoint can actually constrict our ability to love ourselves and others due to the amount of attention and energy we spend toward trying to be safe.

In heart-centered living, we don’t have to try to be safe because we let the feelings of life move through our hearts, seeing both pleasure and pain as part of the human experience. This viewpoint moves us into closer connection with ourselves and others as we are no longer occupied with rejecting, avoiding or otherwise resisting our life’s situations.

The most common ways people tend to get it wrong are:

(A) Not knowing how to safely experience pain and
(B) trying to find someplace outside of themselves in which to be safe.

You Are the Only One Who Can Break Your Heart

Relationships are often filled with these two motivators, fear of being hurt and the search for a safe haven. So will this person break your heart or will they be the safety you’re searching for?

The answer is neither. Your partners actions can not break your heart. Only you can do that. Pain is resistance to whatever we are experiencing. It is how we interact with, interpret and give meaning to the events in our lives that causes us to suffer as a result of pain.

Pain in and of itself is a good thing, it is a warning system that is there to give you information about your environment.

Emotional pain happens when we create a restriction of the flow into and out of our heart system by not fully acknowledging, feeling and accepting our emotions. When our emotions are not fully expressed, the energy of the heart becomes blocked and contracted creating a sense of isolation and aloneness.

You break your own heart by rejecting life and this in turn disconnects you from your inner being…so when you find yourself immersed in judgment, rejection, pain, grief and other emotions that make you want to contract, bring kindness to yourself and comfort the part of you having the feeling. Don’t abandon yourself…be there for you by accepting and being present with your feelings.

The Spiritual Levels of Sexual Partnership

Sexual union and marriage on a spiritual level can be visually understood by observing the yin-yang symbol which represents opposites that are mutually rooted within the same system, transforming into one another while always holding the balance that creates the whole.

A marriage, or intimate relationship represents the process of two becoming one. Sex is the closest we get physically to this spiritual experience.

When you enter a relationship, your commitment is not to the other person as much as it is to the process of becoming whole…this is where we often become confused. We’re not loosing ourselves, giving up or otherwise being unfairly treated as our egos would have us believe by being in a relationship…instead we are surrendering our lives over to our authentic selves and sacrificing our egos so that our separateness becomes one, spiritually.

This is about riding the line of our connectedness…or our bliss. The goal is to stay centered in that connected space. When we keep our beingness and consciousness on that line we create rapture…and through the doors of rapture resides the timeless space that is the gateway to both life and death. In essence, sexual union represents this timeless, whole state of rapture…the death of separateness and a re-birth into a state of wholeness, which on the physical plane is the energy of creation itself.

As you can imagine, the ego has no vested interest in going down this path which is why you need to be the one calling the shots…

So how do you want to show up in a relationship? Which version of your current reality will get you closer to being whole? Is it the story of love’s past, of your broken hearts, of your bad luck or is it something else?

Putting it Together

Creating something else requires us to view our role in a love relationship from a more empowering perspective.

Much of this is accomplished by aligning ourselves with the higher level spiritual truth behind the desire to be in relationship with a partner…the opportunity to consciously experience our spiritual wholeness on the physical plane.

So now that you know what the real goal is, are clear about what qualities you want in a partner and the beliefs you held around love that have been interfering with creating the kind of relationship you want, it’s time to tap into your personal power and determine how you want to show up, so that you can get different results.

Choosing How You Show Up in a Relationship

The following exercise is useful for determining possibilities and filtering through them for the most empowering results.

Enter a meditative state, close your eyes, relax, breathe deeply and see yourself surrounded by protective white light.

Travel in your mind through time and space, to a place where you can see stretched out far behind you, a path that represents your life so far.

Out in front of you is the myriad amount of possibilities that could unfold. Stretch your hand out before you, and set your mind toward how life would look if you were living it as your most loving self.

The possibilities respond to your thoughts and begin to reorganize, reaching up to touch your hand and as they do, you see a movie of what life is like in each of them.

Try on as many as you like, get curious about them and study their differences until you find one that fits you. You’ll know by the energy and love you feel in your body as you experience it.

Once you’ve found it, examine the actions you take from this possibility as well as the thoughts and beliefs you hold as this most loving person. Notice what is happening in your life as a result.

When you are satisfied, make a commitment to yourself to allow your consciousness to reside in this possible reality, by building a bridge between it and your present circumstances.

Create a vision board that represents what you saw and felt as your most loving self…allowing it to flow into manifestation through the power of your conscious choice and intent.

Remember, you are one who is in control of and designing how you show up in life and in love

As always, feel free to share your thoughts and experiences!

Trail of Breadcrumbs

The Archangel Michael has been trying to get my attention for several weeks. These subtle communications began with work I was doing with another coach. I was coaching her to start her new career which combines a wellness food and supplement store with her health coaching services. When she found her store location she said there was a shop next door to it that always reminded her of me and she sent me a link to their website. From there I was led to the Archangel Michael pendant.

Michael kept showing me images of my spiritual self wearing the pendant and then in my NLP Practitioner group I became aware of a lady who channels angel healing and I watched her perform one on my friend Raj. I could literally feel the energy radiating out from her and affecting certain areas of my body even though she was not doing the healing for me.

To be honest I wasn’t at all sure what Michael was trying to tell me at first. I searched the internet for angel attunements, I looked up Reiki courses and tried searching for Michael in every way I could think of hoping he would lead me to some better understanding.

Angel Communication: If Subtle Hints Don’t Work…They Use a Hammer!

Then my daughter brought home a whopper of a virus, knocking us out of commission for nearly a week with skyrocketing fevers and terrible congestion. I was the last to get it and knowing that I allowed myself to become sick was like an alarm bell going off saying, what have I been ignoring that I need to take care of?

I thought maybe it was some accounting organization that was on my “to do” list…I cleared that out and it didn’t help. So then, I moved onto these all important “must have” documents I’ve been meaning to finish. I completed my revocable trust, will, my health and financial powers of attorney and still…nothing. Finally, after taking both of my children to the doctor and learning that they each had ear infections it clicked…I’m not listening…that is what this illness is trying to tell me.

Surrender

I already knew who it was I needed to listen to but I was bewildered because I had been looking for signs. Finally, the house cleared out for a day as the children and husband resumed a normal schedule and I surrendered. Michael, I said, I don’t know what you want…please show me.

The Attunement

I took the dog for a walk on the trails behind the house as I find the nature setting enhances my ability to receive messages as does the exercise. While walking with her I went off into a whole other world entirely safe under her watchful gaze, unconsciously moving along this trail we know so well.

Michael told me he wanted to teach me how to attune with him. He gave me a set of instructions which I followed to raise each of my chakras to his vibrational frequency.

Then he ran his energy through them, sprang forth from my crown chakra and bombarded me with light until we were deep into the void…nothing existed outside of the light…that’s all that there was.

When I returned to myself I found him standing directly behind me but it was more like he was standing inside of me except that he is sooo enormous he hovers high above my head. I understood that I was now an extension of his hands and a channel for his energy.

More on Mission

During this process Michael showed me a rapidly playing movie that explained the necessity of this energy connection with him and I received a lot more information than I knew previously about what my soul agreed to do on this planet.

In this movie was a map with points of light (representing geographic areas of high spiritual vibration, potential points for movements in the expansion of human consciousness), Michael explained that he has been with me from birth for the purpose of supporting those areas and that this mission is one that has been passed down to me through my Grandmother’s family in Cedaredge.

At this point he turned the conversation over to my Higher Self who explained some of the major turning points that happened last year and how they are significant in the present.

As I left the trail, Michael said the attunement process would continue for awhile and that I would receive a sign when it was complete, at this, he once again showed me his pendant.

Energy Shifts

When I returned home from the walk I went by a mirror as I removed my coat and stared into the largely dilated pupils of someone in deep trance. This didn’t really surprise me as it took me quite some time to get fully back into my body.

Something about the shift in energy made me simply irresistible to my dog though. First she tried to get all of her massive German Shepherd self into my lap for a cuddle and when that didn’t go to her satisfaction she followed me all around the house for a time whining audibly if I traveled to an area in which she is not allowed to go

Even the neighbor’s dog seemed affected as she ran tearing out of her yard toward me when she saw me out to check the mail…when she finally caught up with me she danced with her ears back begging to be stroked.

It’s funny how animals are often the first to respond to changing energy, come to think of it my palm chakras opened for the first time during the attunement, perhaps there is more to this petting stuff than I realized

Treadmill Meditation

I haven’t run for nearly two weeks. It’s unlike me but between all the car rides on vacation, catching up on the stuff to do at home and focusing on creating a new routine and direction that is how long it has taken me to work it back in.

I am zealous about physical activity however, so today was the day I turned it around and rededicated myself to my running routine. While I run, I usually do chakra meditations and this routine was no different.

Changed Chakras

The first thing I noticed when I entered this meditation was that my chakras were larger, brighter and for lack of a better word…stronger. Especially the first, second, fourth and sixth.

Lately, I have been very focused on working to rewire my neurology toward activities and thinking that support my purpose in life. So I guess it is not surprising that some of the changes I created might also have an effect on my chakras as I could feel them responding to the way I was reorganizing my mind.

As I experienced them during this run, there were massive differences in their openness and shifts in the energy surrounding them. They seemed to sing. Some part of me responded and I went further into the trance state.

Creating a Circuit

When I reached the seventh it opened wide and I saw energy roots coming from my legs, reaching deep into the earth and then connecting with what looked to be a plug originating from my eighth chakra. Once the cord was connected I experienced a surge of energy flow through me, pouring down into my flesh from my eighth chakra, a waterfall that filled me from the inside of my form like a container, until all I could see was a being of silver light.

Experiencing a New Me

As I ran, my limbs became the limbs of this energy being. Watching my arms and legs pump up and down, I caught sight of her silver sheen within me…causing my skin to become transparent in her light. I could see and feel her perfect beauty with every step and understood that it was the energy circuit that was holding her in place.

Experiencing myself through her was marvelous, I noticed my fluidity, my strength. It felt like all the potential of energy…like eternity. It was in this moment that I felt most like myself in an unlimited form.

I’m fairly certain it is the work I’ve been doing on my purpose that brought on this meeting with my higher self.

Knowing she’s there and that I can experience her in this way fills me with a sense of peace and is a wonderful validation of my current path.

Have you ever chased passion to the threshold of sanity? Followed your soul to the dungeons gate or experienced a delirium so sweet that it defies verbal expression? Have you ever fought your way through unimaginable fear only to find that contained within it was the heart of your dreams?

Would you believe me if I told you that the real terror lies in discovering your destiny…in accepting your birthright and the enormous power that goes along with it?

There comes a time when we manifest our days from the content of our dreams…only to find ourselves no longer sleeping. Our chests heave with lungs full of breath and a budding new awareness begins to occupy every cell of our bodies. Suddenly we know who we are…we are awake, alive, conscious!

Discovering Your Power: The Hero’s Journey

Joseph Campbell described the purpose of life as undertaking the Hero’s Journey. This frame can be looked at in the large overall scheme of one’s life as well as the myriad smaller versions that happen every time we cross a threshold and move toward something spiritually new.

The pattern is separation - initiation - return; this requires a leaving of what is familiar into the unknown, a challenge or trial to face and overcome and a return that carries with it new information, a new social role and a new way of being in the world.

I was very familiar with this frame as a child…I resonated with it and just knew that I would be the kid to go on the big adventure. I would be the one who was lured by the unicorn to meet the dragon, receive the guidance of the old wizard and face the ultimate challenge for the sake of the greater good. My world as a child was full of mythical creatures and magical things, some of which looked normal by day and frightening by night.

I knew there were dark and scary things out there. I had come face to face with many of them at an early age…at that time the best I could do was survive.

But underneath the challenges of the world, there was a love that I could sense, a belonging and what seemed like a whole other secret dimension somewhere under the surface. It was a place that constantly changed like the shifting sand on the shore. I learned that I could sense it, feel it, see it and utterly experience it…like the ocean breeze, wild, free and available.

It was here I learned to go to escape pain…and to chase every passion driven adventure I’ve taken in life. The roads passion led me down were like a maze…the love I sensed was the prize at the end.

When I stepped out toward living on purpose (the separation portion of the journey)…I was to discover the beast hidden in the labyrinth was my wounded relationship with pleasure and that becoming whole would be my challenge.

The Challenge

I believe in transformation. I believe in unlimited resources. I believe that anything is possible.

However, I never applied this knowledge to the monsters of my childhood, somehow the idea that they could ever be transformed into anything beyond acceptance just hadn’t occurred to me. I had forgiven and had healed enough to allow a certain level of functionality but that was as far as I went.

That all changed one day when my husband asked me why it was I never told him how to pleasure me, why I never wanted anything from him in that way. My answer was I didn’t know…but I understood how unfair it was to him to always be in the position of receiving and never be able to give, so I decided in that moment that I was not going to live that way any longer.

Immediately dropping down inside of myself I asked, “Why don’t you know?” The response came quickly as I saw a part of myself floating away…to a safe place. This was the me who has a voice in the realms of physical pleasure and passion, the part that inhabits me when I feel and makes decisions about what is felt and what is denied…moving herself away from the body was an act of protection that had become a habit whether or not it was necessary.

It was the way she learned to use her voice…and to remain in control. It was clear to me as I stared into my husband’s eyes that it was time to learn something new, that this behavior no longer served me. Something inside stirred and awakened with the knowledge of a better way…

Beautiful Monsters: Choosing the Set for Your Story

What is painful? What is wrong? What is pleasurable? What is enjoyable?

All of these things are perceptions…categories, information and a storage system within the mind.

What happens if you put a memory in a different category? If you paint it a different color? Give it a new soundtrack? Or change who you are in that memory?

The memory shifts from something tragic, painful, hideous or difficult to something that’s o.k., enjoyable, powerful or even beautiful.

Monsters must have the proper set up in the story to remain monsters…and ugly must be made a space to remain ugly.

Let go of that space, change the story and the memory will transform. The monsters will cease to be scary…in fact, they may have a message for you, a vital piece of information, of learning that you will be grateful to receive.

Memories are changeable. The scene can be recreated, the actors can be assigned new roles, the emotional responses can be altered as well as the filters the mind uses to experience them.

Any memory can be transformed into something empowering…all it takes is an adventurer who is willing to undertake the journey, to become the hero and to accept the gift upon the return and an experienced guide.

Tower Rescue: The Return

Like the fairy tale princess, the part of me that was locked in the tower was given a ladder, in the form of my chakras, through which to re-enter the world.

When I started living on purpose I became aware of my life’s connection to passion. Working on opening up my first chakra to increase that connection is what my spirit was prompting me to do and ultimately it was what led me out on the call to adventure and to facing the challenge.

Now that I am back there is more of me to inhabit the world. It climbs down through my chakras on a river of energy created by passion and pleasure into this realm..the experience of which is a beautiful reflection of my soul.

Have you ever considered speaking to your chakras and getting their meaning directly?

I’ve experimented with this before while experiencing symptoms, which wrote about it in my post “Gotta Question? Ask Your Body…” but this exercise is more about asking the chakras to explain how they currently function for you in your life.

One idea in particular set me in this direction of exploration after being coached around the development of my new website. During the session, I spoke of my mission and while I was speaking I had the growing sense that one of the chakra’s contained a direct connection to my life’s purpose, and that this chakra wanted to speak to me about it.

Though I didn’t know which it was, or perhaps if it was all of them in some way…I was driven to figure it out. I started with a chakra meditation and while I envisioned each color, I invited that chakra to speak, asked it what messages it held for me and simply waited for the response before moving onto the next.

The answers I received came complete with visual images and feelings. I have listed them below.

Please keep in mind that there are several color variations one can use while meditating with the chakras, so don’t be alarmed if the colors you use are not listed. Also, the eighth chakra is actually ultra-violet light (so you can’t see the color), its color is dependent on the individual and determined by the soul and their current stage of development.

Root Chakra (Color Red)
I was shown two separate images, one was of a very old tree with a complicated and deeply connected root system and the other was a ball of swirling energy. The words, I am creation and creativity, I am the source, the root through which nourishment comes entered my mind along with the feelings of intense support.

Sacral Chakra (Color Orange)
For this chakra the image of a very old compass and map came to mind (something similar to maps made in the 1700’s) along with the words, I am intuition, the compass by which you use the map…this was accompanied by a deep sense of guidance.

Solar Plexus Chakra (Color Yellow)
I entered this chakra and saw myself, reflected in a mirror. It then panned out to an image of me in relation to the world, I heard the words I am self-awareness and the mirror by which you see from without…while experiencing myself from the position of the observer.

Heart Chakra (Color Green)
This chakra presented itself in the shape of a heart, and I saw an image of a knight on a quest riding hard on his horse. The words I am passion, I am the beating heart and the force that drives the adventurer out to meet his destiny entered my mind along with the feelings of intense desire and love, of feeling ignited.

Throat Chakra (Color Blue)
I was shown our blue world from out in space for a moment before it zoomed into an image of my mouth and jawline speaking into a microphone. I heard the words, I am your voice in the world and the vehicle through which you deliver your contribution and felt energy go out before me like a wave, interacting, changing, impacting everything around me.

Brow Chakra (Color Purple)
I entered this chakra and was shown a funnel through which poured intense white light and out of which came images, sounds and feelings. The words, I am your communications system. I transport messages from Source came to me along with the sense of receiving information…like being told a story, learning something fascinating or experiencing some new understanding.

Crown Chakra (Color White)
For this chakra I was shown a tunnel, on one side was the light-filled world of energy and on the other our physical reality. I heard the words, I am your bridge between the spiritual and physical worlds while experiencing the feeling on intense connection.

Eighth Chakra (Silver & Gold)
This chakra appeared as an indescribable being of white light that words can not express, the closest I can come is to say that I experienced a visual representation of consciousness. This consciousness stated, I am the aspect of you that is Source and I hold your mission. The other chakras assist me in delivering it. The resonance and vibration of the voice, coursed and hummed it’s way through me until all I could sense or feel was the movement of its vibration…like a melody or song that defies the mind…but to which the body responds.

Mission & Purpose

Now that I know how the chakras are currently at work in my life I am experiencing a greater congruency with my mission on the planet. The alignment has taken place. It’s a movement outwards that starts with expanding this site into its role as ambassador for my life’s work…the purpose of which is nurturing the dreams of the soul, igniting passion and impacting the world by assisting people to bring out their biggest, best selves!

What information might your chakras have for you?

Chakra Reactions

Lately on my after class walks the subject of body reactions related to the chakras has come up. Many of us found that if we were using our voice for example, to do something that did not align internally that we experienced some side effect such as phlegm, a cough or some other impediment that continued until the situation ended.

I had not been aware of experiencing these sorts of connections until one day I had a sharp pain in my solar plexus. At first I thought it might go away with a light visualization but apparently for me anyway, chakra disturbances don’t go away until I recognize exactly what my body is trying to tell me.

The Mind-Body Connection

I was experiencing a reaction to an internal conflict. When I acknowledged it, the pain immediately disappeared, so naturally this got me thinking about what we’ve been learning in class and using the body to step into situations, try on our thoughts and see how they feel. It’s been somewhat surprising to find that some of the ideas I had floating around in my mind that seemed perfectly acceptable as an intangible thought became completely unacceptable when I took them on physically and fully explored them via the mind-body connection. It was here that I realized there is some form of resistance…that this idea somehow doesn’t feel right.

The Feeling State

In our feeling state we have access to different information. This can be especially useful when we are testing our ideas because our body reacts to our conscious and unconscious thoughts. When you visualize a situation in your mind and physically take it on, your body will react to this vision, your values and what is really important to you in this scenario will come forth with careful observation and insight.

How it feels will be an indication of internal alignment with this course of action. Our bodies give us our true reactions to life. By asking very specific kinds of questions and watching these reactions, the exact area that is out of alignment can be pinpointed with relative ease. If something doesn’t feel right, the body is a great tool. It will lead you exactly where you need to go to make unconscious thoughts or beliefs conscious. Using your body to step into decisions leads to better choices.

One of my most recent areas of focus has been vibration, so it would come as no surprise that I might have a goal like attaining the highest vibration possible in and out of my daily activities. Although I’ve yet to experiment with all the variations that I am considering…I have an interesting story that came about because of some observations along the way.

For those of you who are wondering what a vibration is you can think of it like a tuning fork. The note you’re trying to achieve is emitted by Source and your goal is take your own instrument (your self) and tune it until you get a match. When you achieve the match you will vibrate and hum at the exact same frequency as Source. There will be no difference, so in essence you become attuned to the mind of God.

Creating a Daily Routine

I started out with daily meditations and lots of hikes in the woods. I would wake up every morning around 6-6:30AM and begin with a chakra meditation. Sometimes I would enter a psychic room (a safe place where I would go to work on things) other times I would just enter the spacious realm of no mind which is quite refreshing in and of itself.

This morning routine allowed me to start my day from a high vibrational state. In order to maintain it I would go outside and take a walk with the dog in the woods everyday. But I found this really only ensured that I had two really high points and while it helped to maintain my overall levels it still didn’t have the lasting effects I was looking for. So I made a few more changes…

Practical Advantages of a Healthy Body

While reading Doreen Virtue’s book Divine Guidance, a passage that really struck me was one in which she explains that a fine tuned body is more sensitive to energy and creates a clear channel for divine energy and communication to come through.

When we don’t exercise, eat right and also maintain our mental facilities the channels become clogged, this makes it more difficult for Source energy to come in but the blockage goes further than that by acting as static on a telephone line, it effectively scrambles and confuses our communications to and from Source.

Putting it all Together

Thinking about this made it absolutely hit home that the emphasis of my work each day had to include the body in a big way so I made a few changes. I began eating higher vibrational foods, I started a treadmill routine in the morning, spent time in nature everyday and meditated as well.

When I run on the treadmill I consciously make it my focus to experience Source energy flowing into me and thereby raising my vibration. The routine is just as much a meditation as it is a workout.

A Change of Pace

A few days ago while in this routine I had difficulty maintaining my focus in the usual way, I had woken up late and had not yet meditated so I decided to try to combine the two and clean my chakras while running. Running in and of itself really raises my vibration so I was in an excellent place to start.

I began the meditation and got through it more quickly than I expected. It was awesome and I literally just soared through it. When finished I still had a few minutes left to my routine so I decided to visit my psychic room.

I am usually greeted by a few angels and one of my guides so as I got closer I was not surprised to see them there but what I saw next really blew me away. As I approached what I call my sitting place I realized that my guides and angels and I were not alone…as far as I could see there were people. The room had no back wall…just waves upon waves of souls. My astounded mind could only wonder if I had mistakenly entered in the wrong room?

Beating Cheeks

Needless to say I freaked out. I thanked my guides, told them I would return when I could properly concentrate and immediately left the room. I could not pull the proper focus into the work that they had for me to do while still on the treadmill. I wondered about all the people and why they were there for the rest of the day.

Keeping the Promise

Yesterday I did my treadmill routine first and then true to my promise, I went into a deep meditation in which I made my way back to the room to consciously face the work that needed to be done. This meditation was clear and powerful being fully amplified by the energy of my workout.

My guides showed me a vision of the work I’ve done in the past, and it’s one on one nature…some of these relationships took up my primary focus for years but this was an essential step at the time that provided the necessary foundation for the work ahead. Now as they sat me down amidst all the souls whose lives I am supposed to touch…and whose journeys intersect my own…they explained that the sheer volume demanded a change in my approach. This is the reason I was slowly being pulled from very successful activities in which I worked with individuals toward what has felt like an unknown path for the past year or so.

Sometimes we’ll sense and obey an intuition that does not make much sense, although scary this is always an opportunity to develop a deeper trust in our inner guidance systems. Through experimentation we learn how to communicate with it and subtle yet profound change occurs
