Who Packed Your Suitcase? A discussion w/ Dr. Sara


This is only part of my longer discussion with Dr. Sara, (she and her website are amazing by the way) but I feel this is so important that I had to post it in its incomplete form, the foundational idea must be heard, especially during this great time of change. We are all shifting whether you know it or not, and your shift may not look or feel the same as anyone else’s, we all have unique world views so we must have compassion for our fellow man.

As we “upgrade”, “upload”, “evolve” or “transform” it is all the same at the end of the day. We do not know what path a person has walked or will walk so just take care of your own energy – practice and generate loving kindness, it’s the only energetically polite thing to do.

We live life, yes, but we can control what vibration our life takes, law of attraction. I find her message crucial to anyone wanting to move forward with loving and joyful purpose. Happy shifting everyone! Nobody said it was easy, but that doesn’t mean it always has to be! Simple is accessible.
– I will be adding to this so please check in with us once in a while, thanks!

Dr. Sara is a gifted healer and teacher of energy medicine. She can actually see energy, which I would love to do but at this point I can only feel it and get visuals in my minds eye. But speaking to someone who can actually see it brings a new dimension to his or her unique perspective. I sat with Sara and here is a taste of our discussion.

Why do we not do what makes us happy?
Dr. Sara can see energy and she perceives that we all carry around a suitcase, our baggage literally. The question is…who packed your suitcase? Usually it’s our family or anything we perceive as an ‘authority’. To debunk your authority takes bravery. To do what you want can seem selfish but that’s far from the truth.
Sara has time and time again seen the adverse affects of being “happiness deprived”, which she says is a common problem. If you don’t do what gives you joy you end up in a negative habit pattern. Most of us need to relearn how to have happiness in our lives. One of the biggest challenges she says is learning to hold and accept your happiness once you connect with it.

How can we get happy?
Happiness is a morphanigenic field of infinite possibilities but you have to guide its creation. “You have to be the one to pack your suitcase” Sara said sweetly, I think she knew I needed to examine my suitcase. She suggests that we all take a look at what’s in our suitcase and how it got there. Then, unpack anything that makes you unhappy. Repack it with everything you do want. Put in happiness and harmony. Radiant circuits (our energy pathways of joy) like it when you do what makes you happy and they will keep fear and judgments at bay.

Daily Activities To Keep You In Vibration


To follow your path and to attract what you want in your life it all begins within you, as I’m sure you know. There are certain things we can do daily to stay in vibration with what we want, such as feeling loved, joyful, confident, inspired, healthy etc. these daily activities are joyful things so fear not – this is not meant to be a burden to your “to do” list.

If you feel any of this is a burden examine why that is – is it internal resistance? If it is take some time to ask yourself why, i.e. “If I know that stopping what I am doing for a quick stretch will make me feel great why don’t I want to do that? Where is the resistance?” Eckhart Tolle speaks about being attached to your pain body – is your pain apart of how you define yourself? Just ask yourself a few questions and see what comes up.

And I have to add “I work in a large office where I can’t do that” is not a valid excuse – I have many clients who tell me they go into the bathroom and do whatever energy exercise they need and they feel better so look at the excuses you tell yourself. We are all experts at rationalizing why we can or can’t do something – what we should or shouldn’t do; I’d actually say we are all masters of it and that’s a whole other story.

I understand it can be difficult in this crazy never stop culture we live in and you may feel you are so busy and really can’t find a moment for yourself and if this is the case perhaps you want to restructure your day slightly – just a bit. One absolute is you must find you time everyday – it can be just a few minutes but it has to happen – especially when you are trying to change your life and the vibration of who you are.

Here are some great options to put you in and keep you in the vibration you want. Do one, a few or all – the only rule is to do at least one of these things a day and I bet if you start with one you will want more.

Happy Vibrations Everyone!

Daydream. Easy to do anywhere, anytime. When we daydream which is a form of visualization you begin to actually feel what it would be like to be in that beautiful daydream and when you feel it you believe it and that puts you in vibration with it.
Meditate. People get scared away from this because so many speak about how you must do it for 20-30 minutes a day and you think no way do I have the time but I can tell you from experience that 3-5 minutes will change your day!
Breath. This really goes hand in hand with meditation but just take a few slow deep breadths and it can change your mood and day. Deep breathing is amazingly affective to our mental state!
Spend time outside. Whether in the city or country or somewhere in-between we need to let our energy and mind take a deep breadth and give you room to expand and when your outside it’s the perfect time to ground. When we are grounded it’s easier to be in vibration with our dreams because as Donna Eden says “The deeper you ground, the farther out you can go” translating that to this topic we learn deeper roots allow for bigger dreams.
Expand. Open your heart, mind and energy and connect to the cosmos’s, to your source and give gratitude. Whether you are calling it by name, there are many, or if it’s just sending out a general energy of gratitude it will change your life. Gratitude is extremely powerful for you and everyone you interact with. When you show gratitude you are immediately sent positive energy. Gratitude just feels right and offers happiness in return. Gratitude is beautiful. When you’re in this great state of mind it’s easy to stay in vibration with what you want.
Journal. Gratitude journals are very effective but it can really be any kind of positive expression you want to make – just keep it positive – stay on the sunny side of the street – ignore any thunderstorms across the street – it’s your choice to walk in the light or sun in this metaphor. But the written word has power – I would even say don’t use the computer. Write in a journal that is exclusively used for this and if you are having a bad day you can look back and smile at all the things you are grateful for. Repetition is allowed ☺
The power of ritual. This is a bit deeper but I wanted to give you the information to offer more options. We all resonate with different things.

Night of Beauty & Relaxation


It’s important to set aside a night of beauty each week. Let this be your time to nourish and pamper yourself, you absolutely deserve that. Take at least one or two hours to cleanse, steam, deep clean, replenish and moisturize yourself from head to toe. Set the intention this will be a relaxing night of releasing all negativity and blocks that get in the way of your most radiant self. Dream about the ideal you. Create a new reality, Law of Attraction. It’s good for your body, soul and mind.

One basic: Please, please everyone wash your face morning and night no matter how tired you are. It really makes a significant difference in how you look and age; and in how you feel. You can affirm you are washing away your worries, or hurt, or angry, or whatever you want to wash out of your energy field. It’s a great opportunity you get twice a day to make a positive affirmation!

Environment is everything!
Set the stage for your night! Make sure you have some great lighting, meaning dim lights and candles. Relaxation CDs, and of course some healthy snacks and lemon water…

Steam
This is pure luxury, seriously! Our Facial Steam is pretty heavenly if I do say so myself. If you don’t have the right herbs or oils it’s fine; you can buy herbs that are specifically meant for steaming at your local health food store. Just boil some water and pour it into a large bowl and let it simmer down. (Please use common sense, don’t scald your face.) With a large towel, cover your head as you hold your head over the bowl, about 6 to 8 inches above the steaming water. Steam your face for about 10 minutes. It will really open the pores and brighten your complexion. Breath deeply if you can. I like to intend I am breathing in earth’s purity and breathing out toxins, physical and emotional.

Cleanse
Immediately after steaming, while your pores are still open, apply a mud or clay mask (a mixture of both is best) to your entire face and neck. Make sure the mask is as pure as possible, meaning you don’t need fancy fragrances in it. I’m playing with a new T&T formulation now and will keep you updated on that. Until then, Ahave Dead Sea Mask is a good one and you can probably find an all-natural mud mask at your local health food store. Follow the instructions. But in case they don’t mention it – don’t let it completely dry, meaning look crackly on your face, that can really dry you out. One more insiders tip: Using a wet washcloth scrub the mud off in circular motions to exfoliate and wash away the toxins that the mask brought to the surface. Scrub with gentle to medium pressure – never hard! And, of course be mindful of your eyes, you don’t want to get any in there so I always wash the area off first.

Moisturize
Apply a moisturizing mask (again, your local health food store should have one) and I’m playing with a few formulations but they will be bespoke only probably. You can make your own! Readers Digest has some easy suggestions as does Livestrong.

Bath time!
I take bathing very seriously so this will be the longest section, ha ☺ First of all fill the tub to the top, you want to be submerged up to your shoulders. We have an amazing formulation but have hit some hiccups that we are working out but until then it’s easy to do it yourself! Our bathing formulation is stress relieving, toxin-extracting blend of Epson Salt, Himalayan salt crystals, and Baking Soda. Epsom Salt to release energy blockages, extract toxins and ease any sore tired muscles. It also helps rid your body of radiation, great to use after a plane ride. Himalayan Rock Salt to energetically ground you and to soften the skin. Finally baking soda to extract toxins and cleanse and strengthen your auric field. This is a very healing combination – A Healing Trifecta.

Add some aromatherapy
Try our single note oils, chakra oils, or whatever else you like or have on hand, but try and make it as pure as possible. Smell is the most powerful sense we have and therefore truly shifts our mood / energy.

Add some audio therapy to create a calm & mood
Have music on as the backdrop to your beautiful dreams and harmonious environment. We have some nice CD’s and this article on sound therapy is very interesting.

Add some colortherapy
Bed, Bath and Beyond sell these amazing inexpensive under water lights, AquaLuxe, that change through the spectrum of the rainbow gently feeding your body some color energy and also creates a soothing ethereal atmosphere if you turn all other lights out. I also have one in my bedroom too and it’s very relaxing to lie in bed watching the colors transform, a nice way to gently fall into a happy dreamland.

Have a great daydream
See yourself happy, beautiful and loved. Imagine your in your ideal situation…really get into it, to the point where you know what you are wearing ☺ What we think we create, law of attraction, so be in vibration with positively wonderful fantastic beautiful things.

Self-Care time
While bathing it is the perfect time to do some self-care. I always hold my neurovasculars (holding head gently) and do lots of deep breathing.

Get your sleep!
Get into bed early and get good night’s sleep. Maybe do a meditation or visualization for radiant beauty before bedtime. Remember that whatever you go to sleep thinking about is what you will energetically keep with you all night, so even if it was a bad day, or night, think positive thoughts before bed; visualize yourself or your situation, as you want it, not what it necessarily is. Really see it, believe it and totally get into the positive thoughts / stories you create.
If you don’t believe me believe about the benefits of sleep believe Harvard and this one from WebMD

For people who think pampering only isn’t enough (Whaaaaat?) Here are some Night of Beauty Add-On’s

1. Meditation can and will change your life, if you so choose ☺
This can take only three minutes if you want it too. Any amount of time given to mindful breathing creates relaxation and many other benefits.

2. A few yoga moves never hurt anyone
Just enough to release and expand your energy, not to have a workout! Here is a nice bedtime yoga video.

3. Stretching – release some energy & create some space
Here are some gentle ones from our sister site, Cristina’s Energy Center – and this stretching video is so calming and gentle – very basic & only upper body but still – all openings are great openings!

Enjoy Your Night!!!!!

The Law of Attraction


The law of attraction tells us that energy, is attracted to like energy – and everything is energy. So whatever energy we are in vibration with is what we will attract into our lives. The world really is our mirror. Ultimately, we create our reality by drawing to us the types of people and situations – whether positive or negative – that are in our thoughts and energy. So unless we are aware of this Law of Attraction, we create our reality by default.

Your mind is the most powerful tool you have to manifest what you want in your life. If you imagine your ideal self – see it, feel it, believe it – you will become it. By consciously focusing on positive visuals and thoughts of the things and/or situations you desire, you create them. See yourself shaking hands with people with after a successful deal or proposal, see yourself smiling, in love and in a loving embrace. Whatever it is you want ask, and you can never ask for too much! Affirm to yourself that you want these things, and when you do always say this or something better, because most of the time we do not wish enough for ourselves! In the spirit of this try the Pink Bubble visualization; it’s a powerful manifestation technique.

If you are a loving person you will receive love back. With this in mind, it is important that you take responsibility for your thoughts and actions and use them for good. Sounds a bit superhero-ish but it’s true. The more positive energy you give the more you will get. So send someone a positive intention, affirmation, visualization, a color or any positive thought. Do this not only for friends and family but for strangers, too. It feels good. If you’re not sure how or what to send someone, just think of love and send that. Generating love helps you and them on every level.

Fantastic way to use the Law of Attraction for Healing
An aspect to consider with the law of attraction is time and space. I believe time and space is an illusion and if you accept this (even for this one moment) it opens up endless possibilities for how you can attract more positive energy, even during tuff times. With this in mind think of yourself in the past during a rough time and send yourself love. I did this for the first time years ago in the shower and I immediately felt this blanket of warmth come over me and I realized I had just begun a “no time space” energy flow – meaning because I sent love to myself as a child and by doing this I created a new visualization practice and I could immediately feel my future self sending love to me now – very beautiful feeling– try it! It can’t hurt and in our studies along the way we found others do this as well – as Donna Eden says “I thought I invented this only to find out its been around for centuries”. We are intuitive beings and just one person rarely discovers a good idea or technique.

We are powerful beings and we can create anything – the only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves – free yourself – the law of attraction is here to work for you, use it!

How To Use The Law Of Attraction
I will be adding more details to this so check in with us in a bit☺ That said, it’s almost all in our book Color Energy.

1. Awareness of thoughts, words and actions – What are you in vibration with?
2. A clear vision of what you want or want to be – writing this down and reading it outloud can be powerful
3. Intention and Affirmations – a few ideas about this, including tapping…
4. Visualization and Journey’s – One of my favorites
5. Meditation
6. Visualization maps

Give Good Energy


The law of attraction tells us that energy, is attracted to like energy so if you are a loving person you will receive love back. With this in mind, it is important that you take responsibility for your thoughts and emotions and use them for good. Sounds a bit superhero-ish but it’s true.

The more positive energy you give the more you will get. So send someone a positive intention, affirmation, visualization, a color or any positive thought. Do this not only for friends and family but for strangers, too. If you’re passing someone and you get the sense they could use a positive energy boost, send them one. I live in NYC and do it all the time when I’m walking around. It feels good. One caveat, always send healing energy with the intention that you are not forcing it, that you are just making it available for them if they choose to accept it. As we begin to have a greater awareness of our energy, and others, I think being mindful of some basic energy ethics is a good idea.

When you decide to send healing / positive energy and are not sure how or what to send, just think of love and offer that. Generating love helps you, everyone and everything…love has the power to heal on every level. Great for long distance healing.

The Biology of Belief


The post title is a great book by Bruce Lipton exploring how our thoughts and fundamental beliefs help to create our realities. Throughout time we have discussed the power and potential of “energy” and we are still getting to know the art and nature of this powerful force that is both elusive and crystal clear all at the same time.

Energy and its interconnectedness to us, and everything is extraordinary. To stop and think about the vastness of that concept is where the magic happens. When we are present within “everything” we can choose anything. We just have to believe. I admit I need reminding at times but that’s life and that’s ok.

Some ways to activate the power of your beliefs:

1. Be Grateful. Gratitude is a powerful energy. Keep a gratitude journal or less formally write down one thing a day you are grateful for on a scrape of paper and begin a gratitude wall in your home. Get artistic and have fun with it. Don’t judge and think oh this is too small to write down, such as “I am grateful I got the mail today” – we’ve all had those days. Just laugh at yourself and at know how loveable you are because you are.

2. Live in love. Love can change everything if you allow it to live in and around you. This one can be tricky – whether subconscious or not, we can be our own worst enemy. We think we don’t deserve love, or we create roadblocks for ourselves and that can trigger triple warmer to “freeze” us in those unhelpful emotions. Push through and fake it until you make it. An Eden technique I find very helpful is to put your hands over the center of your chest and “rake” your fingers outward and upward as if you were opening your chest / heart center.

If it’s all about our thoughts affirmations are a powerful tool. Tony and I have been saying a variation of this for over 15 years and we always feel better after, “I am an open channel to the love and light of the universe…(take a breadth)…I am love” and repeat as necessary. What you think you create – so think about and dream about love. Tell yourself everyday that you love yourself and give yourself a hug.

3. Choose happiness. No matter what is going on in your life (almost) you have a choice about how to feel. When I am out of balance I can make things into a bigger deal because I am “looping” a story in my head. Many things can distract us from happiness but recently if these old habits come up I mentally dissolve then through visualization or I just make a strong affirmation that I do not accept the negative emotion I might be feeling and I affirm to myself that happiness really is a choice and that is what I choose. So be it.

A few things to be aware of:

We are really living in a time of accelerated energy and that means we are all feeling things on a deeper level and it is seemingly one thing after another but we can change the story to focus on great things happening one thing after another – even if in the beginning its only in our dreams. Dreams are a powerful tool to put us in vibration with what we are wanting, so dream on.

The collective unconscious greatly affect us – all this energy floating around waiting to be pulled towards energy that is like itself, whether it be positive or negative – its a precarious place if you are not in a great mind set – the law of attraction is powerful. The fantastic thing is you are powerful and in control of you. You can choose what you allow into your energy field. You can choose how you feel through your thought patterns.

The Bottom Line:

You are brave, strong and loved. Deep happiness is yours for the taking!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

Intention Candles


Intention Candles are great to do anytime of year but especially holidays and during special celestial events, such as a Supermoon, New Moon, Full Moon and any Solstice. It’s a great opportunity to focus your energy on affirming what you want to attract into your life and to show your gratitude for the people and things you already have in your life.

Intention candles can be super simple or super stars – both are just as powerful as intention is everything!!!

Making Your Candle

When To Make Your Candle
If you want to bring things into your life it is best to create and light your candle when the moon is waxing (getting larger) – I especially like doing this during the new moon. If you want to get rid of things in your life create your candle when the moon is waning (getting smaller). If you are just making a general blessing candle or are not specifically trying to bring in or usher out specific energy you can make your candle anytime but I do prefer to make those kind of candles on the full moon. The full moon represents everything – it encompasses whatever energy you call upon with your intentions.

Every time you light your candle sit quietly and re-affirm what your intentions are. This is a very powerful way to stay in vibration with what you want in your life. The vibration you create in and around yourself is what you will attract into your life – the law of attraction. The law of attraction states that energy is attracted to like energy so if you are in vibration with love you will attract more love, if you are in vibration with worry you will attract more worry so be mindful – even when not making candles – about the kind of energy you are living in and creating.

If you choose to use all the bells and whistles here is list of what to have in front of you before you make your candle.

  • Be comfortable! When carving you will get wax shavings on you, and oil, glitter – so beyond being comfortable you want to make sure you are not wearing anything precious. I actually have specific candle making shirts I wear because I get pretty messy.
  • The candle – out of the glass (if you are using a pull-out candle) but any tall candle will do. Some people like to pull the wick out so it doesn’t get oils on it – I do it both ways honestly.
  • Newspaper to work on so you don’t mess up your floor – candle making creates a fun mess
  • Carving stick – this can be anything but I have found that wood nail cleaners work very well.
  • Either specifically charged oil or any kind of oil
  • Incense, if you plan to use that
  • Glitter, again if you plan to use that
  • Honey – as an offering to the gods / universal energies
  • 5 pennies – you use these to make 5 specific intentions, or wishes
  • A spoon – only if you are using incense
  • Wet and dry paper towels – your hands will get pretty messy, but a beautiful mess

 

The Most Basic Way

  1. Sit with your candle (any size or shape) in front of you and really tune into what your intentions are. Close your eyes and take deep and slow breaths in and out your nose. Tune inward and ask yourself “What is it I really want” and give yourself the space / time to really listen to your inner voice. If making it for someone else ask yourself what it is you are wishing for him or her. And sometimes it’s nice to make a pure gratitude candle. Gratitude is powerful energy!
  2. Carve your name and date of birth towards the top of the candle – this ensures the universal energies know that it is YOU bring these energies into your life.
  3. Carve intention words with a thin wooden stick or something with a sharp end (be very mindful – no rushing). Some of our favorite words are Love, Happiness, Gratitude, Abundance and Health and Blessings. Those are sort of general words but you can get specific, “I have a loving relationship” or “Great new job”, “I’m Inspired”, etc. You can also carve in shapes, like hearts, the sun, a money symbol, a figure-8 or whatever you are instinctually drawn to draw.

 

Going All The Way

  1. Place a newspaper on the floor and all your candle supplies on top of it because candle carving can get messy, even if you are only carving in words and not using oil and glitter. You want everything laid out for you because if possible you really do not want to interrupt the process – you want to stay with your intentions, focus and flow.
  2. Sit with your candle in front of you and really tune into what your intentions are. Close your eyes and take deep and slow breaths in and out your nose. Tune inward and ask yourself “What is it I really want” and give yourself the space / time to really listen to your inner voice. If making it for someone else ask yourself what it is you are wishing for him or her. And sometimes it’s nice to make a pure gratitude candle. Gratitude is powerful energy! If you are going to use incense you might want to put in on your spoon before you begin making your candle because when you use it towards the end your hands will be messy so it’s nice to have it ready to use.
  3. Carve your name and date of birth towards the top of the candle – this ensures the universal energies know that it is YOU.
  4. Carve intention words with a thin wooden stick or something with a sharp end (be very mindful – no rushing). Some of our favorite words are Love, Happiness, Gratitude, Abundance and Health and Blessings. Those are sort of general words but you can get specific, “I have a loving relationship” or “Great new job”, “I’m Inspired”, etc. Or you might choose to use a symbol, see below.
  5. After carving go for the bling, it’s fun and beautiful. You rub a bit of any oil you have in the house, plain, with essential oils or buy some magical oils and then add glitter. You can make shapes with the glitter, like a heart, a sacred symbol (see below) or just sprinkle it everywhere to create shimmering beauty. The oil will hold the glitter to the candle.
  6. Now put a drop of honey into the glass and if you can a drop on one of your fingers, and lick it off, as an offering to the “Gods” and/or source energy.
  7. Now take your 5 pennies and make a wish or intention with each one – taking your time to really infuse the copper (which is a great transmitter of energy) with what you want. This is yet another powerful way to clarify what you want. You hold one penny at a time, put your intentions / desires into it and drop it into the glass so that it lands on top of the honey.
  8. Put some incense into your spoon and light it up and make a star shape over the glass, then a circle and then put the incense into the glass, over the pennies and honey.
  9. If you have the candle that slides in and out of glass you now put it back into the glass, if you are using a regular candle make sure you put it on a wide a sturdy candle holder.
  10. Take some time to meditate over the candle, putting the energy of what you want into it, really see and feel it. Make some figure-8 motions over it to seal in your intentions and you are now ready to light it. If you have a personal ritual to offer thanks to your source you would do that now.
  11. Sometimes it’s nice to light it with a loved one. You can make this a bonding group activity or a sacred ritual for yourself – or both, as you will light it more than once.
  12. Every time you light the candle always take a moment to reaffirm what your intentions are. It’s a great manifestation tool and intention ritual.

 

Now That You Have Completed Your Candle

No matter the method you choose to create your candle you want to light it with the intention of what you want. Sit and watch it for a few minutes and visualize your intentions manifesting. Watch the way it burns over time – there are messages in that. If part of the candle is not burning properly it might mean you have to be patient or it might burn perfectly down to the bottom showing you the path to what you want is clear. There will always be residue on the glass and when the candle has finished observe it and see if there are any messages for you – the way a candle burns and what it leaves behind can be great guidance – trust your internal wisdom for the answers you seek.

For example, Tony and I made a candle together, not in glass, and with the intention of creating joyful abundance for the re-launch of our company Tony&Tina and as it burned it turned into a wave. This wave symbolized a wave of activity, which has actually begun. For a Solstice candle I put in the energy of my life blooming in every way and from the beginning it actually looked like a flower spreading it’s petals.
