Holiday Season Neutral Mind Meditation

December 1st, 2020 | Posted by Velda in ENERGY HEALING | FEATURE POSTS REVISITED | MEDITATIONS & MUDRAS

Kitten sleeping in New Year

This is a wonderful and easy meditation “Access The Neutral Mind This Holiday Season” which can be viewed online by Tommy Rosen. Mr. Rosen leads yoga workshops around the globe. His meditation requires chanting internally (chanting inside our head not audibly). The syllables we will be chanting are Wah-Hay-Goo-Roo. The word Waheguru is an expression that means “there is ecstasy in moving from darkness to light.” Chanting these syllables inside your head will have a calming effect and helps stop the mind chatter.  (This is our revisited post from December 20, 2013.  It feels even more appropriate to consider practicing during December, 2020.)

Holiday Neutral Mind 2Begin by sitting up tall with your spine straight and a sense of relaxation through your body. Place your hands in your lap; right hand sits in the palm of your left hand.

Close your eyes and focus them up to your brow point. Inhale deeply, pause your breath for a few seconds and then exhale.

Start repeating Wah-Hay-Goo-Ro inside your head. Focus your eyes slightly above and between the your eyebrows. Remember where the eyes go, the energy flows.

You can begin for three minutes and gradually increase the meditation to 11 minutes. To end the meditation, take a deep inhale, pause for a few seconds and exhale. Stay still for a moment feeling the subtle shift this has caused in your body and mind.

Series #7 – Path To Enhancing Emotions

July 15th, 2018 | Posted by Velda in ENERGY HEALING

Series #7 - Path to Enhancing Emotions

This completes the seven series exploring Inna Segal’s Process to Enhance Healthy Emotions and including the Ten Basic Principles for Healing in her book ‘The Secret Language of Your Body’.  The last principle is Principle 10 Make laughter a priority.  The benefits of laughter are so great that laughing for laughter’s sake has become the motto for countless people all over the world who participate in “laughter clubs.”  There is even laughter yoga, which teaches specific laughter exercises.  Looking at life from a humorous angle allows you to let go of stress and heal faster.  Now begin the exercises by finding a quiet comfortable location and body position.  Breathe deeply for several moments.  Keep a notepad and pen nearby to write down insights that may come to you in the process.

Series #7 - Path to Enhancing Emotions

1.  Say:  “Divine Healing Intelligence, embrace me with your radiant gold beam of satisfaction, happiness, contentment, and delight.  Allow me to feel confident that I am moving in the perfect direction for my life.  Help me to recognize and celebrate all the wonderful things I have achieved, all the magnificent people with whom I have connected, and all the rich experiences I have lived.  As I recognize the grandness of my life, I feel truly blessed.  Thank you.”

2.  Repeat the word “CLEAR” several times until you feel lighter.

3.  Satisfaction comes from celebrating life and its enriching experiences.  Rather than focusing on what you don’t have enough of, concentrate on all the things you are blessed with–even the ability to move your hands to pick up a pen, write a journal entry, read a book, or share your special gift with the world.  You may simply celebrate the fact that you are alive, that the sun comes up each day, that the birds sing.  Embrace and show your satisfaction, and you will see how things start to grow and develop in your life at an accelerated rate.

Series #7 - Path To Enhancing Emotions

1.  Say:  Divine Healing Intelligence, please encircle me with your ray of gentle, supportive, and uplifting gold light.  Infuse me with compassion, understanding, kindness, and wisdom.  Help me become considerate, thoughtful, and forgiving.  Transform any jealousy I feel into encouragement and happiness for other people’s good fortune.  As I become thankful for my own and other people’s fortuity, reward me with magnificent, abundant surprises.  Thank you.”  

 2.  Repeat the word “CLEAR” several times until you feel lighter.

3.  Focus your attention on how you can support and encourage others to be their best.  Concentrate on being happy for other people’s success.  The happier you can be about someone doing well, the more likely you will open the gateway for your own good fortune.  Every day, when you are walking down the street, practice seeing everyone who passes a great success.  You may even say an affirmation.  “You are a success.”

Series #7 - Path To Ehancing Emotions

1.   Say:  “Divine Healing Intelligence, bathe me with your gold rays of success, achievement, and fulfillment.  Allow me to recognize and celebrate all the success I have achieved in my life, and to honor all the people who have contributed it.  Help me expand my horizons, sharpen my abilities, and prepare for the enormous opportunities that are coming my way.  I ask to be a magnet for abundance, success, and prosperity and to share my good fortune with others for the greatest good of all.  Thank you.”

2.  Repeat the word “CLEAR” several times until you feel lighter.

3.  Everyone has a different idea of what defines success.  For some, it is about accumulating great wealth, becoming good at what they do, having children, being healthy, or having great relationships.  Whatever success means to you, appreciate the success you already have in your life.  It is much easier to build on success when you already have some.  And even if the success is small, acknowledge it and move forward with confidence.

2.  Repeat the word “CLEAR” several times until you feel lighter.

3.  Look at your life and become aware of where you honor, validate, and make empowering choices, and where you do not honor and respect yourself.  When you are aware of the areas you need to work on, you can begin healing, changing, and transforming.  Use this Respect Process often to help you release shame and welcome respect.

2.  Repeat the word “CLEAR” several times until you feel lighter.

3.  People experience joy when their hearts are open to give and receive love.  No matter who you are, you have the ability to contribute to others – to touch and warm their hearts.  If you would like to experience more joy, focus on what you can do or say to inspire someone else, and then become aware of your heart opening.  When people are joyful, they are connected to the Divine Source of love.  Each day, communicate with that spiritual part of you.  Listen to this Divine aspect of yourself, and allow it to guide you.Series #5 - Path To Enhancing Emotions

July 5th, 2018 | Posted by Velda in ENERGY HEALING

Series #2-Pat To Enhancing Emotions

Before practicing the Series #2, Exercises Enhancing Healthy Emotions, consider incorporating Inna Segal’s ‘Ten Basic Principles For Healing’, found on pages 6-9. She writes “Healing” means wholeness.  In order to heal on all levels, we must  consider all aspects that make great health possible.  Principle 1:  Commit to making your health a priority.  Principle 2:  Feel your emotions instead of keeping them buried.  Now begin the exercises by finding a quiet comfortable location and body position.  Breathe deeply for several moments.  Keep a notepad and pen nearby to write down insights that may come to you in the process.

Series #2-Path To Enhancing Emotions

1.  Say:  “Divine Healing Intelligence, I call on the pure white ray of honor to raise my opinion of myself, my life force energy, and my spirit.  Pour your  healing light into every part of me that feels, lost, broken, weak, and dispirited.  Surround me with encouragement, praise, inner knowing, and harmony.  Bring me into a holy relationship with myself so that I can truly know my heart and soul.  Thank you.”

2.  Repeat the word ‘CLEAR’ several times until you feel lighter.

3.  Focus on praise rather than criticism.  Become aware of how you are thinking. Are you criticizing or encouraging yourself and others?  Practice on building up your self-esteem.  Be kind you yourself when you make mistakes.

Series #2-Path To Enhancing Emotions

1.  Say:  “Divine Healing Intelligence, fill me with your deep magenta ray for faith.  Allow the spirit of wisdom, courage, and Divine Love to surround and uplift me.  Help me to believe in myself and to develop my ability to courageously deal with challenging situations, while still having faith that I am loved and protected.  Awaken the clearest and purest intentions in me so that I can use my gifts and abilities for the greatest good of all.  Help me to have faith and pray for Divine Intervention,  even in the darkest circumstances.   Show me on a daily basis how a little faith and kindness can move mountains and transform lives.  Thank you.”

2.  Repeat the word ‘CLEAR’ several times until you feel lighter.

3.  When we have faith, we tune into the unseen, mystical world we live in.  We believe without needing to touch or physically see the results.  There is a inner knowing that assures us that help is on its way.  When we have faith we also have courage to follow our dreams and to make them come true.  Think about what you would love to experience but have been to afraid to take a step forward.

Series #3 - Path To Enhancing Emotions

1.  Say: Divine Healing Intelligence, I call on the green-white ray of rejuvenation to clear and recharge all levels of my consciousness.  Please regenerate my flexibility, movement, and circulation to its full vitality.  Awaken my creativity, understanding, and compassion.  Allow love, healing, and abundance to flow freely into my life.  Thank You.”

2.  Repeat the word ‘CLEAR’ several times until you feel lighter.

3.  In order to bring more flexibility and movement into your life, you must be willing to move your body and become more flexible.  A great way to do that is to focus on relaxing your body and mind while allowing inspiration to flow.  Dance can help you loosen up, have fun, and free your soul.  Put on some relaxing music, stand up, and imagine that you are a wave in the middle of the ocean.  Allow yourself to get into the flow, and move as you concentrate on ease, flexibility, openness, receptivity, appreciation, acceptance, and allowance.

  PLEASE WATCH FOR SERIES #3.

Visualizing & Strengthening Our Aura

November 19th, 2017 | Posted by Velda in CHAKRAS | ENERGY HEALING

Visualizing & Strengthening Our AuraThe Human Aura is an energy field that surrounds human beings. It is directly connected to the energy vortices of the body’s seven chakras.

Ted Andrews discusses several ways we can vitalize and strengthen our personal aura in his book, How To See and Read The Aura. In Chapter One, he reports the aura is weakened by the following:  poor diet, lack of exercise, lack of fresh air, lack of rest, stress, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, negative habits, and improper psychic activity.

Here are his simple suggestions for vitalizing and strengthening the human aura: Sunlight strengthens the auric field;  Physical exercise and fresh air are extremely vitalizing to the aura; Eating less food but more frequently has a more balanced effect upon the aura; Keeping the bowels clean assists in keeping the aura strong and resilient; Meditation is strengthening and protective; and music or chanting can be used to balance and strengthen the auric field.

Visualizing & Strengthening Our Aura

 Here are four steps to an Aura Strengthening Meditation.  Spend 3-5 minutes per step:

  1. Breathe deeply and slowly at first, sensing the presence of the bioenergy “life force” within you.
  2. Feel this energy flowing through you and imagine that it’s cleansing you.
  3. Visualize this energy within your body radiating more and more. See if you can see/sense the color of the energy.
  4. While visualizing the energy (and color if possible), direct this nourishing energy to the area of the body that needs healing (e.g. areas of the body where pain resides, or feels weak).

Healing Journey Boxes

October 2nd, 2017 | Posted by Velda in ENERGY HEALING

Healing Journey Boxes

I thought it would be interesting to look at two of Dr. Bernie S. Siegel’s Simple Practices for a Healthy Body, Mind and Spirit that he shares in his book 101 Exercises For The Soul.   It is always great to add exercises for one’s healing journey.  

Exercise #46 – Tools For Healing – Start A Treasure Chest

Healing Journey Boxes

Dr. Siegel points out that when we have bad days and if feels like “life suck’s”, most of us need help finding our way.  With this exercise, you can identify and gather up the tools you need.  1.  What tools would help?  Material and physical tools can be helpful (take a walk, visit a special place, read a book, or go to a movie. ).  2.  What emotional and spiritual tools can you rely on?  (These may include a relative, a friend, meditate, prayer, or listen to nature ). 3.  Write down your list of resource tools on slips of paper. This can be anything that gives you joy.  Take a small box, label it your Treasure Chest, and place the slips in for safekeeping.  4.  In times of distress or trouble, open your chest and take out the tools you need.  5.  Place your Treasure Chest where you will see it every day.

Exercise #77 – Put Your Fears Away - Storage Box

Healing Journey Boxes

Dr. Bernie S. Siegel points out in  this exercise how many of us become preoccupied with our fears and worries.   He states that there is a lot to be said for the saying “Out of sight, out of mind.”  We don’t want to become unconscious of our fears and the way they affect us.  However, for this exercise we will create a new home for them.  1.  Pick out a special box and create a sanctuary for your fears and worries. 2.  Each time you notice fear surfacing write it down.  3.   Include what you are afraid of, the event that created the feeling, and how it challenges your peace of mind.  4.   Visualize that once these fears are locked in the box, they are turned over to divine guardians for safe keeping.   5.  Your fears will eventually dissolve, and when they do, discard the notes related to them in a ceremonial dumping, burning or burying.  Hopefully you will no longer have to see or feel the discarded fears ever again.
