Aura Balancing and Protecting your Energies

Aura balancing is the practice of focusing on the aura and using it as a tool for healing. Those who use the aura to heal say it gives them sort of four-dimensional image of a person. The three dimensions we're used to, as well as the dimension of time, giving a history of a person's life experience.
Aura Balancing is a good idea to do from time to time to clear out any negative thought patterns and emotional blocks as well as to set a shield of protection around yourself.

Why would you practice Aura Balancing for Healing?

Have you ever woken up in the morning and felt "out of sorts", "not all there" or perhaps you notice in the middle of the day that you feel "heavy", "sluggish" or "weighed down". All this could be from an imbalance in your energy field.

Reminder

Living in extremes are not living in balance - do an Aura Balancing.

Also remember that "too much of a good thing can be bad for you". Living most of your life in the spiritual mind and not being grounded isn't any better than those of you who live in the physical world and never give your spiritual natures a second thought, or a first thought for that matter.

Without doing an Aura Balancing your energies can be affected in other ways as well:

• Worry and anxiety that causes you to always be thinking of issues and problems can make you scatterbrained.
• Trying to burn the candle at both ends; always being bogged down in work and never taking time to relax or release stress can weigh you down. Either way, you can eventually affect your energy to the point of developing physical ailments.

Depending on the events in your life, you may want to balance your energies once a week, or twice a month.
Each person is different and handles life in different ways; so it's really up to you how often you feel you need this exercise. Although my suggestion would be that you protect yourself on a daily basis.
The effects of the aura balancing may be as subtle as feeling more peaceful or as dramatic as experiencing bliss, greater clarity, or transformation.
Aura Balancing will also help in reducing stress and anxiety.
When you perform Aura Balancing regularly you will notice the following:

• an increase in your energy and improvement of your physical health
• feeling more peaceful
• obtaining perceptual clarity
• experiencing deep relaxation and bliss
• receiving greater joy and confidence
• gaining greater enthusiasm and ease in daily living
• expanding your sense of well-being
• awakening you to your holiness and assisting you toward the fulfilment of your spiritual promise

Aura Balancing - There are two different ways to balance your aura and set a shield of protection for yourself:

For the first aura balancing technique simply surround yourself with white light, and imagine a force field being established around your physical body. However, if you have not done an aura clearing and cleansing exercise before surrounding yourself with white light, this method can trap unwanted stress, anxiety or negative energies within your physical body and inside your shield. So in this case you might be blocking the external negative forces, but you're trapping your own negative energies that you create yourself, within your shield.

A better Aura Balancing method is to generate a protection shield from the inside of your being "pushing" those unwanted energies out of your body, balancing your energy and then setting a shield round you. This way you're clearing, cleansing, balancing and setting your shield of protection all at the same time.
The following is a step-by-step Aura Balancing process for pushing the negative energies out of your body and calling upon the Divine forces to lift your "spirit" and aid in your protection.
You can even add a little step to this Aura Balancing process to bring Positive Divine energy into your being to add to your wellbeing or mental state. It doesn't take long to perform this mini-ritual. (You can certainly add to this with candles or other tools to enhance the process)
It's not as hard as you think.

So how do perform an Aura Balancing for myself?

The first step of Aura Balancing is Clearing and Cleansing:

1. Sit in a comfortable position, to assist you in alleviating the stress within your body.
2. Close your eyes and take in a 3 deep cleansing breaths as follows: Inhale through your nose filling your lungs to their fullest capacity imagining white light filling your being and collecting at your solar plexus. (your solar plexus is located in the centre of your abdomen, right where you ribs connect at the bottom)
3. As you exhale, imagine all your stress, anxiety and negativity leave your body in a grey smoke through your mouth dissipating into the universe. Push all the air out of your body from your solar plexus on your exhale.
4. Now with each inhalation, imagine the in-take of white light increasing and enlarging the size of the white bubble of light collecting at your solar plexus.
5. All left over negativity, stress, anxieties and unwanted energies are being forced out of your body in a cloud of grey smoke by the growing divine white light.
6. In your minds eye see this white light moving up and down, from your solar plexus, inside your body.
7. Feel the warmth of the divine energy of this white light as it passes through your muscles and organs. Feel the tingling sensations as the light moves down to your toes and at the same time up your body to the top of your head.
8. Imagine your entire body filled by this divine white light, from the inside out, making you a beacon of light.

The second step of Aura Balancing is Grounding and Lifting:

1. Move your attention to your solar plexus and imagine a silver cord, extending from your solar plexus moving down your spine and down through the chair or whatever you're sitting on.
2. Watch the cord extend down through the floor, the foundation of the building you're in, the bedrock, the molten lava of the earth until finally your cord reaches the centre of Mother Earth.
3. In your minds eye see the cord "plug into" the earth, like a cord into an outlet.
4. Now feel the energy of the earth as it travels up the cord taking the same path back to you. As the energy reaches your body, it slows down and gently enters into your body.
5. You feel its warmth; you feel a slight pull on your body as the energy moves to your solar plexus.
6. With each breath you take, the Earth's energy spreads throughout your body until you're fully engulfed in the Earth's grounding energy.
7. Moving your attention back to your solar plexus, imagine a second silver cord, extending from your solar plexus moving up your spine.
8. Watch it travel through your body and up and out through the top of your head moving through the ceiling, the roof, the clouds and atmosphere out into depths of space.
9. In your minds eye see the cord plug into the Divine Source or whatever feels right for you.
10. Now feel the gold energy of the Divine light travelling through your cord, back down through the sky, the building and ceiling until it reaches the top of your head gently and slowly moving into your body.
11. Feel the cool uplifting feeling of this energy as it travels down your spine to your solar plexus.
12. With each breath you take, the Divine energy spreads throughout your body growing and expanding until it engulfs your whole body.
13. See these two energies (earth and divine) intertwining yet remaining separate, working together to balance your energies.
14. Both energies of light are gently swirling inside your body to overflowing.

The third step of Aura Balancing is Setting Protection:

1. Call on your guides, angels and teachers to assist you in the setting of protection and thank them in advance for their efforts.
2. Take a deep breath and place yourself in the bubble of white light that you created.
3. Now see the intertwining earth and divine gold energies swirling around your white bubble of light creating a shimmering indestructible outer shell.
4. See yourself floating in this egg of energy made up of the white energy you created, the Earth energy and the gold energy of the Divine, all gently and calmly moving through you and around you giving you the ultimate protection against all negativity.

Sound Energy

The Power of the Word - Use it Wisely

Words are sound energy, powerful beyond measure. Be aware of what you say to yourself, every cell is listening . . . Words play an important part in the realms of healing.
Every sound you utter sends out an energy wave that aids in creating your world. With every sentence you speak you creating sound energy which is  improving or destroying your health, relationships and finances in other words your world.
Can you live without communication, without language, without THE WORD?

The truth of the matter is that the one thing we cannot live without, the one thing that more than anything else shapes our whole life; words, language, communication, is also our greatest enemy.

"If you propose to speak, always ask yourself - is it true is it necessary, is it kind?"
Gautama Buddha

Labelling

Give it a name, a label and you feel you know what you're talking about.
Yes, labels have purpose.
Labels such as "good" and "bad" ... "pain" ... "happiness" ... "marriage" ... even "self-development" ...
They're designed to help make life easier, by arranging experiences into pigeon-holes that we can easily identify.
Words are parallels for perceptions and actions that allow us to communicate with each other about our personal experiences, feelings, desires, and thoughts.
You learn words through the cultural conditioning of your families, the schools and universities you attend, and the broader cultural surroundings of our cities, towns and countries.
I have found that more often than not, by using a particular term, we end up trying to force ourselves into a specific pigeon-hole ... regardless of what we're actually experiencing!
While words can facilitate learning and healing, they may also hamper or even block these. The commonly accepted use of a label for something may impede changes in perceptions about that subject, and may make it difficult to change our ways of relating to the concepts put into words by the label. This is a serious problem in society at large, health care and healing.
This is an excerpt from "Manifesting Your Beloved"
"The most powerful example I've ever heard was a story told to me directly by the woman who had the experience. This woman had developed an incurable disease of the eyes. She was quickly going blind.
Her physicians said there was NOTHING they could do. Being very determined and not liking what she heard, she turned to alternative therapies for a possible cure - something she never would have done had she not been in this desperate situation.
A friend recommended she see someone that did crystal healing. She thought that sounded ridiculous but decided to give it a try.
During her appointment, the crystal healing therapist asked her to describe herself, her life, etc. and she let her talk for about 10 minutes. Suddenly, the therapist stopped her and said "Did you know that in the last 10 minutes you said the words 'I hate to see' 15 times?"
The woman was shocked.
She used the words "I hate to see" before many things. "I hate to see the way the world is going." "I hate to see how they are treating the children in schools." On and on she made reference to "I hate to see" this or that.
This was literally an eye opening experience. She switched her words and now years later have perfect vision."
Are you doing the same?
The Sound energy of words can create an amazing life and words can destroy a life.
So can thoughts; they either destroy or create because thoughts are the original manifestation of the spoken word.
Are you leading a constructive existence or is your life falling apart around you; in a state of destruction?
Every experience in the "now" has its roots in past thinking. Negative thought patterns as do positive thought patterns, create an energy field around you which eventually feeds you back whatever you have put out. This energy field not only affects you but also everyone else around you.
See how the influence of your words and their sound energy will change your life.

Positive Affirmations...

 ...TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK!

Here's the bottom line... Positive Affirmations are powerful statements that are used to build a positive internal dialog that can change your life on many levels - physical - improving not only muscle strength as recent studies have found but also supercharges your energy levels, mental - bringing your capabilities, strengths, talents, and skills to life and emotional - ensuring a happy outlook on life as your happiness and your success in life is determined by the thoughts you hold in your unconscious mind. They have been successfully used for centuries and have helped many people like you and I achieve extraordinary results in their lives. Positive Affirmations have turned many failures into successes and many miracles have happened in the history of human evolution because of them.
I am convinced that you've come across many people who are very satisfied after they practiced and implemented positive affirmations as well as many that have said it doesn't work. You also may have the intention to use them but are unable to or could not unlock the secret of how to go about it. Let me help you with that.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are endless. ~Mother Theresa~

What is a Positive Affirmation?

Like anything else, to be able to use them we have to understand what they are?

To Affirm: Means to state something firmly and publicly.

The word Affirmation has a few meanings:

• The act or an instance of affirming; state of being affirmed.
• The assertion that something exists or is true.
• Something that is affirmed; a statement or proposition that is declared to be true.
• Confirmation or ratification of the truth or validity of a prior judgment, decision, etc.
• Law. A solemn declaration accepted instead of a statement under oath.

FACT!
As I said at the beginning of this page Positive Affirmations are powerful statements that are used to build a positive internal dialog and by consistently repeating these positive statements or declarations to yourself, you create positive unconscious thoughts. These new, positive, productive thoughts will then replay automatically throughout your life and each time they replay, they'll reinforce the new positive inner-image you have of yourself and your life in general.

Important

See why believability is so important HERE!

Simply put, by replacing old, negative thinking with new, positive unconscious thoughts you’ll be able to access the endless resources of positive energy you have within yourself. And you’ll be able to create a new, positive reality for yourself.
Remember that the unconscious mind needs at least a certain level of believability and it is here that most peoples affirmations fall apart.

Even though affirmations consist of words, they often involuntarily conjure mental images in the mind.

To explain further these mental images assist the unconscious mind in realizing (making real) the affirmation. In order to ensure their effectiveness, they have to be repeated with attention, conviction, interest and desire.
Don't believe me, believe yourself! The power of affirmations is only limited by your personal conviction and belief that the affirmations are working. If they are only done half-heartedly, those are the results that will be received.

Reminder

How to create Positive Affirmations?

If you believe completely in achieving the goal stated in the affirmation, that situation is almost sure to be achieved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

MERIDIANS - The Life Force Highway

Meridians are the final component of the human energy body. The easiest way to describe them is that they are the energy equivalent of the arteries and veins which carry your blood around your body, in other words they are energy channels.
These channels carry your life-force, or Ki, around your body. The major meridians route the energy lengthways through the body, connecting with all of the body's major organs. There are also other smaller energy channels, minor meridians which criss-cross throughout the body, connecting all the parts together so that Ki can flow everywhere.

everywhere.

SEE the 12 Major Meridians here!

There are twelve Major, eight Extraordinary, and a host of Minor Meridians. Each Major Meridian corresponds with an organ of the body, and is classified either as

• YIN (female, dark receptive, solid) or
• YANG (male, bright, active, and hollow).

The Yin organs (also called ZANG organs) are deep within the body and have to do mainly with manufacturing and storing Ki.
The Yang (or FU) organs are closer to the surface and deal mainly with receiving, digesting and excreting Ki.
Your body itself has Yin and Yang facets, the outer sides of limbs are more Yang, the inner sides more Yin and the Yin meridians flow upwards and the Yang meridians flow downwards.
Because Yin and Yang are complementary, a dis-ease or problem of a Yang organ or meridian can be treated via its' Yin counterpart (and vice-versa) so, for example, heart problems can be treated using the Large Intestine Meridian and so on.
It is on these Meridians that the various points exist which are used in complementary therapies such as acupuncture or acupressure. It is also these Meridians that connect all parts of the body with the areas on the feet and hands which are used as pressure points in reflexology.
All dis-eases (physical, mental, emotional or Spiritual) are due to an imbalance of Ki.
It can be either an excess or a deficiency of Ki, the flow of Ki is sluggish or too fast or there might be a blocked or broken Meridian.

How can we work with the Meridians?

One of the easiest ways to use the them for healing is by running a hand over the path of the meridian. To strengthen a weak meridian, the meridian is "run" forwards, from its beginning to its end. To weaken or sedate a meridian that is over-energized and that is drawing energy from other systems, the meridian is run backwards from end to beginning.
For an example, to relax and calm stressful energy by sedating the Triple Warmer:
"Running" a meridian in its usual direction strengthens its energy, and running a meridian backwards weakens, sedates, or calms it. When the triple warmer is over-energized, the goal is to calm it.
To run a meridian backward, touch the end point, then glide your hand over the area through which the meridian passes, finishing by touching the beginning point. The exact path of the meridian is not important: only that you touch the exact start and end points.
Sedating the Triple Warmer: Use the opposite hand to touch the outside edge of the eyebrow, furthest from your nose. Then pass your hand back (away from your face), over and around your ear, down the back of your neck, across the back of your shoulder, and down the outside of your arm and the back of your hand. Touch the fourth finger (the "ring finger") at the base of the nail.
Now repeat this motion, gently, at least three times on each side of your body and it's done!
Just that easy.

- Space Clearing -

- Space Clearing -
Cleanse Your Space!

Space clearing, especially any space where you spend a lot of your time is very important and really easy. Space Clearing is designed to cleanse out the negative and to raise the energy as well as the positive vibration and light of the atmospheres in spaces such as our own personal and sacred spaces (homes) or offices.

Why space clearing is necessary?

Every space has energy. Your home is neither a composite of materials assembled for shelter or an inanimate physical structure. It is a receptacle for vibrating unseen energy fields which has gone out in ripples like the effect of a stone being dropped in a pool. Not only is this energy being recorded in the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the furniture, objects and plants but it gets imprinted in the very fabric of the structure. Every cubic centimetre of it whether solid or seemingly empty space, is composed of infinite energy which respond to human thought and intention.
Repetitive patterns, moods and events accompanied by strong emotions or trauma get deeply imprinted and are recorded more intensely. For instance when you enter a room that is heavy and makes you feel depleted, drained and depressed you are more than likely experiencing the residual energy of an argument as it can linger long after the argument has ended. Alternatively, when entering a space that makes you feel immediately uplifted and light you are responding to the free flow of pure, light, positive energy.
Throughout the world ancient civilisations as well as native cultures have performed sacred ceremonies to instil beneficial energy into living spaces. In the modern world these traditions have dissipated and withered away. However in gratitude to the deep wisdom of Gaia, our Mother Earth, we yet again see the rebirth of space clearing. Long forgotten ceremonies, skills and methods are once again being used to clear away negativity and infuse our homes with vibrant and uplifting energies creating a sacred space.

You would not like to spend time in a space filled with negative energy, would you?

Your home should especially be cleared regularly of any unwanted energies. When you do space clearing and you cleanse and purify the energy in your home, it is transformed into a sanctuary, you turn every part of it into sacred space that is nurturing to your soul and somewhere you can feel safe to be yourself whether it be exploring your pain or embracing your joy. Your home becomes a retreat from the discord of the world, a place of refuge and protection for you and your loved ones, an anchor point from where you can venture out into the world and have a welcoming abode for your return.
Once the cleansing and clearing of a space has been done not only does it feel better but sometimes, in what seems to be mystical and miraculous ways, health, relationships, prosperity and abundance improves and expands. Even people that are not particularly sensitive to energy remark how good they feel.
The success of any journey depends on the care and attention given to the task at hand. There are various methods and teqniques for space clearing, which can be done daily, after you feel for whatever reason someone or something has changed the energy for the worse or at any time your intuition tells you is the right time.

Food and Color

Eating - A Colorful and Sensuous Experience

Just as we are affected by the colors we wear or surround ourselves with, so too are we affected by the energy of the food we eat. Foods color vibration not only appears to relate to various parts of the body but to the chakras as well. In other words, when we ingest the appropriate color vibrations of food, it serves to maintain health, to activate and heal, and to balance the chakras.
The physical colour of food is a natural guide to the nutrients that it contains.

Red Ray	Orange Ray	Yellow Ray	Green Ray	Blue Ray	Violet Ray

You can identify most foods by the color of their skin. However, there are some foods that have two or three color vibrations due to their reaction to cooking or preparation.

For example, plums have a red and yellow vibration but when dried into prunes they gain a purple vibration. Therefore prunes can be used to balance the third eye chakra and crown chakra and it can have a positive effect on the solar plexus area of the body, which relates to the elimination of body wastes.
A fig has both a yellow and purple vibration. The humble potato has a white and blue vibration. The white and brown vibration of mushrooms are good for balancing and grounding one's energy.
More often than not, the more colorful the ingredients of a meal, the greater the nutritional value. Therefore it would be beneficial to you if you developed "Rainbow" eating which is very simple when you follow a few simple rules.
When you prepare a meal, note the ingredients and if necessary add more colors. Red meat can be included in the red color range of food and fish in general in the white and blue range, salmon in the red and blue range if you are not a vegetarian.
According to Dr Bernard Jenson, an internationally acclaimed nutritionist, author and lecturer, whereas a vegetarian diet is healthy, it doesn't usually work for people in demanding, stressful jobs. That could include every busy housewife and mother as well as those who commute to work in hectic cities.

Researchers also did an experiment where food was dyed blue and served to study subjects, they lost their appetite.
