The Shaman’s Recipe For Energy Cleansing
Since the beginning of time, people of all cultures have used prayer, sound, smoke, salt, water and sacred intentions to bless their homes and create peaceful environments.
The tradition of clearing the energy of a home can be found in ancient tribal customs, folklore and modern spiritual practices. The idea is that our homes hold energy which affects how we feel.
Clutter can make a room feel cramped and uncomfortable, while negative energy can make a home feel uninhabitable. Human emotions, thoughts and actions, including conflict, illness, sadness, stress, violence and even the presence of certain visitors, leave energy imprints and residue in our homes.
Removing these energy remnants from your living space can greatly improve the happiness and well-being of those who live there. This practice is both a personal spiritual practice and a way to care for your loved ones.
You may be familiar with smudging as a traditional cleansing method, but there are many other traditional ways to purify a space using natural elements, sacred sound, fragrance and focused intention.
A shaman in Colorado once taught me a wonderful energy-cleansing recipe. I have been using it for years and find it an excellent alternative to traditional smudging with sage or other herbs.
Put Your Phone Down, And Start Living!
I was blessed to be born before the arrival of the Internet and smart phone technology.
It was a time when kids were playing outside all day, and we often did not want to go home, because we were having too much fun.
It was also a time when people still connected with each other in person, and on a deeper level. It was a time when we lived life in a much simpler way.
Since then the rise of digital technology, smart phones and social media seemed like it happened overnight, and everyone was instantly hooked, including myself!
It was exciting, because information was now ‘just a tap away.’ Communication was faster and easier, and you could ‘connect’ with just about anyone, anywhere, anytime.
But then social media and smart phones came along, and before we realized what hit us, it began to gradually cripple our ability to focus, to truly connect, to be present in the moment, and to be in touch with our spiritual nature.
To make matters worse, we started comparing our lives to others: friends, enemies and idols… only to diminish our sense of self-worth.
Last weekend, I was playing the board game Monopoly with my teenage son and his best friend. His friend seemed unable to put his phone down and pay attention to the game. I asked him why, and he said it was because he was addicted to knowing what others were doing, and that he didn’t want to feel “left out.”
Choosing To Shift Your Vibrational Timeline
There is a moment on our spiritual path when we begin to sense that reality is not as fixed as we were once taught.
I have spent decades walking between worlds, learning to listen then unseen and metaphysical. Through my training, I have come to understand that our lives unfold across energetic pathways I refer to as vibrational timelines.
These timelines are not abstract ideas. They are alternative states of consciousness that shape our everyday reality, our relationships, and our spiritual evolution.
Our reality is not singular and fixed, but rather a vast spectrum of parallel timelines. Each timeline is a distinct version of “now” existing simultaneously at different frequencies of vibration.
Everything that exists, including our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and physical matter, has a vibrational frequency. Your dominant frequency at any given moment acts like a tuning fork, aligning you with the timeline that resonates with you.
The timeline you experience is simply the one you’re tuned into and your consciousness is the selector. Your mindset, emotions, core beliefs, and level of spiritual awareness all determine which timeline you’re anchored to. Fear, doubt, and low-energy emotions align with lower-frequency timelines, while love, clarity, and expanded awareness with higher ones.
Is Mirror-Touch Synesthesia Your Empath Superpower?
Science is catching up with the empath, literally.
Recently I came across a fascinating book titles Mirror Touch by Dr. Joel Salinas, a Harvard trained researcher and neurologist at Massachusetts General. It explores the phenomenon of mirror-touch synesthesia (MTS): a rare neurological trait that causes someone to feel the emotional and physical experiences of other people.
Synesthesia is “mixed perception,” or to blend the five senses. Science recognizes over 80 types of synesthesia.
Because of Dr. Salinas and other brave professionals, science is sitting up and taking notice and actually exploring the brain and how it functions in individuals with these traits.
Dr. Salinas uses his ability of feeling the emotional and physical pain of his patients to treat their symptoms, as if they were his own. The experience for him and others like him is challenging and draining.
Scientists now believe that MTS is linked to the neurons located in the brain responsible for transmitting electrical signals through our body.
These signals flow from the brain through the body and communicate what we are feeling and sensing. With MTS the neurons specifically are those linked to the premotor cortex. Interestingly, this is the part of our brain that is responsible for planning future action.
Soulmates, Soul Groups And Soul Contracts
I find that many people in the spiritual and metaphysical communities are looking for their ‘soulmate.’ So what is a soulmate? What does this term mean to you?
A soulmate is often defined as the individual that we can completely resonate with, that we can truly love and that they truly love us back unconditionally. In reality, however, due to our humanness, this may not always be possible and then we may become obsessed with the search for a soulmate. In that search sadly we often miss truly wondrous opportunities to connect with love in the most unusual or unexpected places.
So, why do we fixate on soulmates? The reason is because we crave love. For the majority of people, the pinnacle of human connection is having achieved such a true, ultimate spiritual connection with another individual. It is what we attest to in the ceremony of marriage, the birth of a child, and so forth.
But maybe we should choose to expand our view of a soulmate as being an individual that we have the deepest admiration, respect, love and positive connection with. Then as we look around, with this new definition in mind, we will see that each of us has many, many soulmates.
We should change our paradigm from being one of soulmates having to be our intimate romantic relationship to that of being simply a deep, compassionate heartfelt connection. Then our relationships have the potential of attracting so much more, including the pinnacle connection of true love. Soulmates available to you abound throughout the world. Your universal connection can be instantaneously expanded beyond your wildest belief.
Maybe It’s Time To Reboot Your Energy Channels!
Our bodies contain endless potential for energy: physical, mental, electrical, psychic. Much like the sun itself, we are constantly providing energy. Yet, many of us feel drained and exhausted? If we learn to reboot our natural energy channels, this doesn’t have to be so.
Like the power of our brains, we may only be using a small fraction of our personal energies. The best way to get started is a program of meditation or prayer to discover where our strongest energies lie. These are to be found in our psychic centers, or chakras.
As you begin your journey, you’ll notice stronger feelings in one or more of your seven spiritual centers: crown, eyes, throat, heart, chest, spleen, and root. It may be a slightly prickly sensation, like static electricity, or a growing warmth, or a feeling, or a pleasant coolness.
It may be helpful to repeat a personal mantra, listen to soothing sounds, or close your eyes as you do this. Imagine concentrating your energy on that particular place within your body.
You may not be able to channel fully the first few times, so keep trying. Also experiment with different times of day, lighting schemes, and mantras. After a while you’ll feel the energy building up.
As with any form of energy, it will need to be released properly once it has concentrated. Since our main receptors are our hands and feet, these are perfect for those just starting out. Feel the built-up energy flowing outward. This may also give you a physical sensation. Continue reading
