Sound Vibration Heals Our Brain Chemistry
Thoughts have metaphysical power. Words, speech, singing and sound also have power. Everything we say, sing and chant has vibrational sound frequencies that changes the chemistry of our brain and the physiology of our body.
A positive sound vibration changes the brain to a calm, compassionate, highly intuitive state. Think of a baby laughing and how it brings joy to everyone who hears it.
A negative sound vibration abruptly shocks and damages the nervous system. Think of someone scratching the chalk board or yelling racist epithets, and how both make you nervous and angry.
We can actually improve our health with positive vibrations in the form of mantras. A mantra is a set of words, with a positive meaning that also has a positive vibration. When repeated over and over, this vibration permeates every cell of the body, igniting, healing and repairing these cells. It moves through every muscle, bone and organ.
This process changes the entire energy field, aura, and expands it. Done with enough practice and an open heart and mind it can increase our light to the point where we can heal ourselves or help others to heal.
Have you ever walked into a silent room and felt that there had been a conflict between the people who have been there, before you arrived? That vibration, positive or negative, leaves an energetic residue and is absorbed by everyone entering into it, unless that person has increased their vibration to the point where they become psychically impervious to other’s negative energies.
Grounded And Centered
We’ve all heard the terms ‘grounded’ and ‘centered,’ but do we really know what they mean? Do you ever have days when you feel like a part of you is a step or two behind the rest of you? Do you ever feel ‘hungover’ even though you know you didn’t close the bar the night before? Do you ever have a disconnected feeling? Any of those is a sign that you’re not grounded.
If you’re anything like me, you can’t process information or participate in the discussion going on around you. There are even times I just stare blankly at the wall, the TV or the person who’s trying to talk to me. At times, I will have arrived at an appointment and not remember driving there, but since the police aren’t there, I must assume I didn’t break any laws.
Grounding, for each of us, is personal. Some people smoke. Coffee can keep you pretty grounded too. I prefer using more harmless methods. An easy way to re-ground is to sit or stand on earth, and just breathe. As you breathe in, imagine the earth coming up through your body to your head. As you breathe out, release the tension in your shoulders, back and neck. Breathe fresh air in, and toxins out. Slow down, take a few minutes to anchor yourself in this plane. I use this one a lot when I am doing touch therapy or after a hard reading.
Centered is felt in the solar plexus, when you’re centered, you’re in balance, your insides match your outsides and there is a sense of knowing what’s going on. There’s also a sense of confidence that radiates from inside to out.
To re-center sit or stand up straight, align your hips with your shoulders. With your projective hand place the three fingers right below your sternum while allowing your other hand to hang loosely at your side. Relax your shoulder and neck muscles. Take three or four deep breaths releasing tension with each exhale.
Spiritual Energy Healing
Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to belong to a psychic healing group. According to our group leader and mentor, we were souls that were brought together with the purpose to heal. We were merely past-life relearning what we already knew. She also said that we would always work as a group of healers, no matter where life would take us individually; all we have to do is call on our group, in meditation, and do our work in our spirit selves.
When we began our session we would be sitting in a circle and begin to meditate to activate our energy centers. Then, and only if requested, we were given a person to send healing light to. I have to say that we did have a good success rate!
Our mentor also explained to us that if the person crossed over it was their karmic time for that to happen, and that the person still did receive the healing energy.
After our physical death there is a period of time in which we meet up with other souls that we were close to in other lives. Oh, it is so fascinating and there is so much to learn and do. We have to remember that we are ultimately in control of how and when we will reincarnate into another physical body.
For the purpose of purification of our soul or spirit, I believe that we have some kind of ‘atom energy’ or soul essence. This is where everything we ever were and experienced is imprinted and stored. It is like the soul’s eternal ‘energy signature.’ When we are in our physical bodies, this atom of energy is anchored in our heart.
Keeping The Seven Chakras In Balance
When your energy centers or chakras are in balance, you feel in alignment, happy, fulfilled and able to achieve most anything you set your mind to. You are able to achieve your goals without stumbling and letting things get in your way. When your chakra energy is out of balance, you can feel, lost, floundering, with no direction and even hopeless.
Each of the seven main chakras are associated with certain physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being. It is essential that we keep these energy centers open, balanced and in flow. If one or more of our chakras are blocked or unbalanced, energy flow is restricted.
The chakras can be balanced and realigned through meditation, Yoga practice, breathwork, nutrition, natural remedies, and various energy healing methodologies, such as Reiki, acupuncture, Qigong, sound healing, prayer, reflexology and so on. If you suspect one or more of your chakras are poorly balanced or blocked, it is recommended to include some balancing energy work in your daily spiritual practice.
Crown (Purple) Chakra
Located at the top of the head it is the center of our higher state of consciousness and divine connection. A balanced crown chakra empowers us to trust that the God, Source, the Universe supports and direct us. When it is out of balance, we tend to disregard what is sacred, leading us to cynicism and becoming closed off to spirit and mindful living. Blockage of energy flow in this chakra causes disconnection from our higher self, spirit, our faith and leads to loss of hope, and loss of direction.
Third Eye (Indigo) Chakra
Located at the center of the eyebrows, it represents intuition, self-awareness, foresight, openness and imagination. When it is out of balance we lack imagination and mental clarity. This can also lead of breakdown of communications and distance in relationships.
Raise Your Vibration With Love And Light
Everything is energy, vibration, and frequency. Everything! Changing your vibration changes your frequency. This can lift the veil between dimensions. You will see things differently. Your intuition will evolve.
If you think limitation, you are limitation. If you think abundance, your are abundance. If you send the universe messages that you deserve something, positive or negative, the universe will send that to you in return. Positive or negative.
I often have clients ask why they keep attracting a certain kind of romantic partner. In my experience the issue is not in the attracting of that person, but rather understanding why they stay with that person.
There are many dysfunctional people in the world. So, attracting dysfunctional people is not unusual. But keeping them in your life, putting up with them, being intimate with them, and marrying them is not about them and their dysfunction. It’s about you. Your vibration is sending out a signal that you believe you deserve that kind of person. If you believe you deserve dysfunction, you will attract dysfunction.
We all meet at least one mentally healthy, well-adjusted person in our lifetime that we were not attracted to. Why? Our vibration was low or not in resonance with that person’s energy.
How do we raise our vibration? By engaging with input energies with high vibration frequencies. If you watch television, watch ‘higher vibration’ television. Bad reality TV, violence, horror movies and crime shows lower your vibration and attract darker energies on all dimensions. Too much radiation from phones, computers and television sets also lowers our vibration.
Lifestyle choices also determine our energetic frequency. Drugs and alcohol lower our vibration. Same goes for processed food with chemicals, additives and pesticides lower our vibration. Conversations that are petty, gossipy, and negative not only degrades others, but also lowers our vibration. Fear, anxiety and anger also lower our vibration.
Essential Oils For Energy Work
Essential oils can be a powerful resource when used in energy work and related spiritual and metaphysical practices.
Grounding. Using Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Frankincense oils, for example, can help keep us grounded while meditating or doing energy work. You can use just one, or you can mix them, then simply diffuse the oil according to your preference.
Romance. To attract love and romance combine 2 parts Rose or Rose Otto with 1 part Lavender, Honeysuckle, or Ylang Ylang. Use in a diffuser or as a perfume oil on pulse points on your body. The Rose oil makes us feel more desirable, the Lavender, Honeysuckle or Ylang Ylang gives us confidence.
Memory. Using Rosemary, Peppermint, Lemon Grass, and Ginger in any combination will help with studying and memory retention. Dabbing a small amount on your third eye will enhance your ability to recall information later too.
Depression. For mild depression use 2 drops each Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang, Geranium and Sandalwood in any diffuser. Clary Sage helps promote the feel-good hormones, Ylang Ylang helps with anxiety, Geranium helps clear the debris in our heads and Sandalwood helps keep us grounded.
Energy. To recharge or refuel your energy, mix 12 drops Lavender, 6 drops Peppermint, 4 drops Pine, one drop Cinnamon essential oil. You can mix this in 1 cup of bath salts and enjoy a relaxing bath, or use in an oil diffuser, or both.
