Creating Space Through Forgiveness

Creating Space Through Forgiveness
Mayan Shamanic Journey: Part 5

Also see Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four

WWe were having a fire ceremony at night that focused on forgiveness. For over 4000 thousand years the Mayans have used stones carved into a round shape, some had carvings on them and they are raised about half a foot off the ground, they were everywhere, it was amazing! The fire was blazing on this ceremonial stone and most of us were on our knees hands in payer position or hands on our hearts and of course on the earth. Our Tata said BE HONEST, what harm have you done to others? Whether you meant it or not be honest about your feelings, do you have jealousy, resentment etc. The way he said, “be honest” gave the word honesty such meaning and clarity. I felt like I was in a trance, I began to see people’s faces and situations pop up in my minds eye and saw the bad and negative things I’ve done throughout my life – it was all flashing by – and I kept saying I am so sorry, I’m so sorry. Emotion rose up and I felt my heart crying in apology. Then we were asked to forgive ourselves and I went through the same process. Then we switched to forgiving those that have harmed us and again I saw pictures flashing by of situations and people who had hurt me and I forgave. It was beautifully emotional. My heart felt expanded and cleansed. With each deep breath I could feel the new space in my heart center, and the space felt radiant.

Now a story, which to me shows so much how our vibration affects others and how we all hold up mirrors for each other. During the beginning part of the trip I had this unspoken tension with one of the girls, we could barely look at each other, and I realized during this ceremony I was jealous of her – I’ll skip the meaningless reasons why but I saw it clearly. I also saw how I have pushed down the idea that I could be jealous of someone because it’s just not an energy I am in vibration with, or so I thought! It was kind of shocking when I realized this emotion was apart of me. I asked for forgiveness from her and for myself, I felt ashamed I had felt that towards her. I was deeply sorry. I released these negative feelings into the earth and the fire completely evaporated it from my internal landscape and my vibration changed. The very next day the girl and I began to look each other in eye and connect. A few days after that were laughing together, speaking openly and I looked at her with love and still do. I wonder if I was a mirror for her in any way? But the big take away is that I let that emotion and all the feelings attached to it go. A weight was lifted and space was created because that emotion was now cleared away.

I have always known how the bigger issues, and the stories we hold onto, in life can take up so much space within you that it hinders your energy systems plus takes up space that can otherwise be used for positive things. It unbelievably did not occur to me that these little things were actually bigger than I thought and take up valuable space within.

What a great realization and gift to have this awareness so I can be mindful of it moving forward in life. Once I forgave myself it then changed my vibration, which then changed the relationships around me. The interconnectedness of everything is amazingly beautiful! I find it comforting as well to see such a clear example how we do control our own energy and can change whatever we do not like. We can broaden our perspectives and find entire new views and/or let go of old ones that then liberate us. The potential we all have for personal growth is limitless and that blows me away with gratitude!

I’m really grateful to that girl for allowing me this experience. I am grateful for our Tata always asking and encouraging us to BE HONEST with ourselves. That can be a “big ask” for some people and the journey can be painful. Looking into the mirror of who you are isn’t always pretty but when you bravely look and see the truth and then create positive changes based on what you did not like…well that’s a huge gift to yourself. You come out the other side energetically lighter and happier, and probably a kinder person.

I’d like to mention Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine here about internal space. Donna says whether it is good or bad we can become filled up with too much energy. Energy needs and wants space and when we hold onto too many things we fill ourselves. We need to be mindful of the space within us and how it is vital to our happiness that we have room for new, better and wondrous energies and emotions to come into our being. The blow out exercise is great for this! Even when things are going great for me I do blow outs with the intention of releasing excess energy so that I always have room for great surprises to come into my life and energy field.

A note about this Photo (by Rick Maitri): We climbed this pyramid after the fire ceremony and I did the most magical Connecting Heaven & Earth on top of it. I am one of those lights on the top – pure magic!

A related story about internal space
I was feeling blank for a few days, again, I mentioned in another post how I felt blank during the beginning of our Mayan journey, but it happened again about a month later and I thought oh no what’s wrong with me, I can’t focus, I can’t think and I just said to myself ok ok, I accept being blank. When I had felt blank on the trip it allowed amazing realizations to appear so I thought maybe this is a good thing? I had a big business meeting and I am a preparer but because I was “blank” I didn’t prepare as I usually wood. I just said to the universe, “I trust you”. I put together a nice goody bag of our Tony&Tina products and did some blow outs and off I went to my meeting and whoa! I had the space to accept fantastic things. I came out of the meeting with more good stuff than I ever would have imagined. I really believe it is the space I created in my energy that allowed me to attract great things in this situation. If I had been full-up…?

I sum it up like this:
Forgive and let it go.
Be brave and look into the mirrors in your life.
Keep your heart and mind open, always!
Blow out excess energy as a daily ritual so that you have more internal space because you never know where or how life’s gifts will show up.
Be open, show up and see what happens!

These are happy acts:)

When The Pain Body Awakens – Transforming Pain Through Presence!


This is such important information to help you lead a positve life – it will help you have an awareness of what might be standing in the way of acheiving you goals and/or happiness. Many of you may be familiar with this information but we all need reminders and this is a beautiful one!
Hope you enjoy this powerful inspiration.

“The pain-body awakens from its dormancy when it gets hungry, when it is time to replenish itself. Alternatively, it may get triggered by an event at any time.

The pain-body that is ready to feed can use the most insignificant event as a trigger, something somebody says or does, or even a thought. If you live alone or there is nobody around at the time, the pain-body will feed on your thoughts.

Suddenly, your thinking becomes deeply negative. You were most likely unaware that just prior to the influx of negative thinking a wave of emotion invaded your mind-as a dark and heavy mood, as anxiety or fiery anger. All thought is energy and the pain-body is now feeding on the energy of your thoughts. But it cannot feed on any thought.

You don’t need to be particularly sensitive to notice that a positive thought has a totally different feeling-tone than a negative one. It is the same energy, but it vibrates at a different frequency. A happy, positive thought is indigestible to the pain-body. It can only feed on negative thoughts because only those thoughts are compatible with its own energy field.

…The usual pattern of thought creating emotion is reversed in the case of the pain-body, at least initially. Emotion from the pain-body quickly gains control of your thinking, and once your mind has been taken over by the pain-body, your thinking becomes negative.

The voice in your head will be telling sad, anxious, or angry stories about yourself or your life, about other people, about past, future, or imaginary events. The voice will be blaming, accusing, complaining, imagining. And you are totally identified with whatever the voice says, believe all its distorted thoughts. At that point, the addiction to unhappiness has set in.

It is not so much that you cannot stop your train of negative thoughts, but that you don’t want to. This is because the pain-body at that time is living through you, pretending to be you. And to the pain-body, pain is pleasure. It eagerly devours every negative thought. In fact, the usual voice in your head has now become the voice of the pain-body. It has taken over the internal dialogue. A vicious circle becomes established between the pain-body and your thinking.

Every thought feeds the pain-body and in turn the pain-body generates more thoughts. At some point, after a few hours or even a few days, it has replenished itself and returns to its dormant stage, leaving behind a depleted organism and a body that is much more susceptible to illness. If that sounds to you like a psychic parasite, you are right. That’s exactly what it is.

The beginning of freedom from the pain-body lies first of all in the realization that you have a pain-body. Then, more important, in your ability to stay present
enough, alert enough, to notice the pain-body in yourself as a heavy influx of negative emotion when it becomes active. When it is recognized, it can no longer pretend to be you and live and renew itself through you.

It is your conscious Presence that breaks the identification with the pain-body. When you don’t identify with it, the pain-body can no longer control your thinking and so cannot renew itself anymore by feeding on your thoughts.

The pain-body in most cases does not dissolve immediately, but once you have severed the link between it and your thinking, the pain-body begins to lose energy. Your thinking ceases to be clouded by emotion; your present perceptions are no longer distorted by the past. The energy that was trapped in the pain-body then changes its vibrational frequency and is transmuted into Presence.”

Creating Your Own Sacred Ritual


Rituals are powerful tools in our lives and when we make them our own we deepen the meaning. A ritual can be anything you make it, simple or complex, but it is a repetition of certain words, gestures and actions. It has religious origins from Paganism to Christianity. Many of my suggestions have been used since the dawn of time but I speak about them in terms of our current time space.

Creating Your Sacred Space
Energy will build and hold a space when it used time and time again for the same purpose. That is why I feel having an alter of some sort for meditation, or even reflective thought, is really important. I actually have two spots in my apartment where I meditate. And as soon as I sit in that area I can go deeper quickly because the energy is ready and has the vibration I want to go into.

An alter can be anything you hold sacred. For some that is nature for others it’s traditional / religious – it’s all perfect! I believe in many things – I take bits and pieces from all cultures and religions so my alter is very eclectic and I love it that way. I have symbols from Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism and representations from nature such as wood, crystals and objects that hold a sacred meaning to me, even a few pictures that represent a spiritual moment in time that I hold deeply in my heart. Most of what is on my alter has been there for many many years so it now “holds” the energy of deep and reflective thought, non thought and focused visualization.
Big or small your sacred space / alter will give you a beautiful space that is all yours! I have heard many people say it’s important to not let others touch things on your alter – that’s a personal decision but that said I think having people ask permission is valuable and honors the space.

Meditation
Meditation itself is a ritual but I like to add a beginning and ending. As a ritual I always do what I call The Three Gratitude’s before and after my meditation. I bow three times with my hands in the prayer position, once touching my forehead and I thank the heavens and all the powers that be, then in front of my heart and I thank all my selves (all aspects of who I am & my guides) and then palms facing down or even on the ground and I thank the earth. Sometimes just doing that on it’s own can be a great ritual!

Meditating under a tree is magical as well (that’s how the Buddha did it). If you have a tree you can befriend keep going to that one tree and whether you are conscious of it or not an energetic relationship will begin and strengthen over time. Trees are smart! Just read this and watch this. But in general when you sit up against a tree it grounds you deeply which increases a strong sense of self and life purpose.

Fire It Up! To Let Go & Receive
There are a few ways to do this. In your head as a visualization but I like the hands on version best to be honest – it feels more powerful but that’s a personal preference. It also depends on my time restraints and location. If I have little time or am in a public setting I go to the visualization but when I have the time I go hands on.

– The visualization – take some slow deep breaths in your nose and out your mouth and in your minds eye see a big bowl that has fire in its center. Begin to see what you want to get rid of and throw it in the fire for it to burn into the ether – it goes back to source where it is purified and recycled.

– Hands On – have two bowls, one for what you are getting rid of and the second for what you want to bring into your life. Make sure you do this is a space where the fire will not set your house on fire! Be mindful!!!! Take some paper and write down three things you want to get rid of and three things you want to bring into your life. I have found this to be very powerful when you do it with a friend or two.

Start with what you want to get rid of and read it out loud and then light it up and throw it in the bowl and sit and watch it burn. The way it burns can be informational as well – it’s not dissimilar to tea reading, just trust your intuition, divining how it burns is not the point here. Just watching it burn can be mesmerizing and deepens your focus on letting go. If you are with a friend(s) take turns doing the first part, each reading one of your three things, burning it and continue this cycle until all three things have been burnt in the bowl. Then move onto what you want to bring in using the same technique. Once done go outside and starting with the bowl of what you want to get rid of and say “I release this…” or whatever words work for you and toss the burnt paper out of the bowl and into the wind – everyone does the release first. Then do the same with what you want to bring into your life and again use what words work for you but I usually say “Everything I want will come into my life” and once this is done take a moment to say “So be it, so it is, for the highest good of all involved” – again whatever words work for you are just perfect – intention is everything.

Intention Candles / Light
These are fun, powerful and create beautiful ambient light at night. I’ve already written about this and you can read it though this intention candle link. I am pretty consistent doing these intention candles on every new and full moon – and especially on equinoxes and traditional holidays. Sometimes it’s elaborate and sometimes it’s not – to me as long as your intention is clear and true the universe hears you and honors you by you honoring it.

But I would add there are many other candle rituals that are beautiful, especially a rite of passage ritual and candle ceremonies on the equinoxes. The candles light is seen as a vehicle to bring you closer to spirit, as fire is an ethereal element, as is water. Usually candles are lit and paced to create a spiral (to honor cosmic sacred geometry) and each person walks through the spiral coming out on the other side as a new person or with a new “place” in life. For instance in Eden Energy Medicine the students walk through as a rite of passage to become certified practitioners and in the Rudolf Steiner world a child walks in silence through the path as they leave behind one grade and enter into a more adult grade.

Winter equinox has an especially beautiful ritual of everyone making their own lanterns and they place a candle in an apple, inside the lantern, and the spiral path has already been created and people walk silently from the inside outward as an inwardly gesture of winter. This also represent the end of the darkness as they enter the light coming back – this is to honor the earths seasonal rhythms. Each school or group of people will do this differently but they are all beautiful!

The Healing Bath
This to me has always been a sacred ritual, maybe my first because as a child I would fill the bath and then also leave the shower on to create my own magical secret water world. Soaking tubs are the best but any tub will do. Fill it with bubbles, aromatherapy and even colortherapy if you like! Add Epson and Himalayan salts, and Baking Soda and you have a healing bath. Light a candle or buy an ambient light that can change colors and you can create a sacred space. Water is healing and cleansing to the soul, as well as the body. This healing bath is enough in itself but if you want to add some extra healing / self-care you can hold your neurovasculars and / or do a chakra clearing and balancing – both are easy and nourishing to do in your healing bath.

Get In A River
If you have access to a stream / river that is not too deep you can create a serious cleansing ritual. I first did this with John Perkins in the Ecuadorian rainforest. We all shed our cloths and jumped in the river and laid down and let the water run over us and as we did this we affirmed it was washing away all our fear and anything unwanted in our lives – it was amazing, powerful and very energetically cleansing! Obviously this is seasonal for many people and many will want privacy but if you can do it, it’s very powerful and I do believe you can get the same benefits with a bathing suit on, of course, but honestly there is something sacred about being naked in the water – it’s primal and our energy seems to automatically know what it’s supposed to do – let go and be free!

Music and Dance
I put these together because for me and most of the people I know it goes hand in hand. Put on your “energy” music – whatever gets your energies buzzing and dance and sing away. Think about it – there are some songs that bring you back to a special and happy time in your life and you can access that anytime by listening to the song, and moving and grooving to it is the cherry on top – get funky, free and free form. That said the two are powerful rituals on their own as well.

Exercise
Many people use this as their ritual, especially yoga and dance. I grew up jogging so for me I can easily get into the no thought zone – and I’m getting crossovers as well (the runners high) so it’s an Eden Energy Medicine Therapy as well.

Cooking
It’s an art and when you cook consciously by using your positive thoughts to infuse into the food you can really get in the zone and if you cook for your family it can be you time or bonding time – both are great.

Other Random Ideas

– Dance under a full moon – with or without clothing. As a child of the seventies nudity was encouraged not shamed so I say lets put a bit of 70’s energy back into our 21st century lives. It’s very freeing!

– Sit in a talking stick circle where the only person who speaks is holding the stick and then it is passed on either by someone raising their hand to respond or just in a continuous circle. It creates a safe place for people to know they can speak at their own pace without interruption. This is usually done with a specific topic or intention.

– Any holiday can and is a ritual.

– Saging your home is a great cleansing ritual.

– Sitting down with your family for dinner is a beautiful bonding ritual that our modern society has seemingly pushed aside – bring it back into your home!

– Even sports games can be a ritual, albeit a noisy one but still a bonding can and usually does occur.

The point of any ritual is to honor you, all sentient beings, the world and special events. The events, or rituals, are meant to bring you closer to your inner being, your inner light. They are meant to create a feeling of oneness with spirit and that can take many many forms.

When creating your own ritual remember intention is everything!!!
Enjoy!

Positively Speaking…


The psychology buzz word for affirmations is “self-talk” Since I was a child I have been taught to say affirmations and honestly that’s exactly what it is – but I certainly don’t mind self-talk – whichever verbiage works for you is fine!

What we think and the stories we hold onto about ourselves and our life is what governs our reality – law of attraction. Most of us try to live with a positive mindset but we need to check in with our primal voice and see what that part of us is saying. You might say, “I love myself, I’m great!” and then somewhere in your subconscious the primal self says, “But I’m fat and stupid”. The primal brain loves to give us a laundry list of what our problems and fears are and what we can and cannot have – GREAT NEWS – this we can reprogram!

We tend to want the approval of others, it starts at a very early age with our families, then friends and then society and the media take over telling us how our lives should be and how we should look and act. Let all that go – free yourself! A free self is a loving joyful self.

A consistent positive dialog with yourself can re-train your primal brain and any negative habit patterns you may have collected throughout your life. Talk to yourself lovingly all day and night and the primal brain will catch on. We just have to untangle the mess of negative messages we are given, from others and ourselves.

Remember we are hardwired to be joyful loving beings – we just need to remind ourselves – and not make it a big deal. It’s not a big deal! It does not have to be time consuming and so I have put some choices below for you. I hope you connect with one or more of them and that it can help you be the best you possible!

How do we reprogram our negative thoughts and patterns?

1. Energy Psychology / EFT – tap that negativity out!
This is an emerging field of study that I have personally found VERY helpful.
I have had the honor of being around, and even assisting him once, David Feinstein, Ph.D. who is one of the pioneers of Energy Psychology and I learned a lot from him. I use it for myself as it’s an amazing self-care technique and I have used it with clients and they have reported back with very positive results.

What Does It Do to the Brain?
“Energy Psychology works by stimulating energy points on the surface of the skin which, when paired with various psychological procedures, send signals to the brain that may impact stress chemicals such as cortisol and DHEA, deactivate limbic system arousal, and rapidly alter neural pathways.” David Feinstein, Ph.D. – learn more

Here is a particular EFT video I love and connect with by Brad Yates

An interesting article from the Huffington Post

2. Holding Your Main Neurovascular Points – your forehead
This will relax you greatly and it’s one of the only times thinking or speaking about the negative is helpful. As Donna Eden will explain our forehead(s) are our main neurovascular stress points – meaning if we hold our hand(s) gently over the forehead it will encourage blood to come to your frontal lobe – rational thought and take it away from the amygdala, the “primal” area of our brain responsible for where we hold our fears. Therefore holding the main neurovascular points – your forehead – while thinking or speaking about something that bothers you will begin to re-train your brain to not be so stressed about that subject. It has many valuable benefits and it’s so easy to do anywhere, anytime! This is easy to do for yourself but also extremely lovely to do for a loved one.

3. Temporal Tapping
This is something Eden Energy Medicine teaches but it is an ancient technique from China – the Chinese have been way ahead in the healing game for thousands of years!

This is a great way to break habits, change negative beliefs and create new positive ones. We can change this neurological reprogramming. We tap around our temporal bone – this is on our triple warmer meridian so it calms us down and opens us to new ideas. Triple Warmer governs our habits, change and our fight or flight – it can also be a radiant circuit (a pathway of joy) if you work with it in that way – you can even just talk to it and ask it to be radiant but when we calm it we are able to accept new information much easier! Also our bodies respond to tapping very well! If you tap while saying self-suggestions you are especially receptive to it. This has been clearly shown in EFT / Energy Psychology.

We tap in a negative statement on your left side because the left-brain is more critical and the right side of the brain is more open to positive statements so we tap in the positive affirmation there.

Spend some time identify what you want or want to change – use wording that feels right to you.

For example you create a statement in the negative and positive.
The negative – “I do not eat when I am stressed out” or “I no longer feel insecure and I can ask for what I want” – notice it is not really “negative”
The positive – “I eat for health and enjoy my food” or “I know my value and easily ask for what I want?”

1. Start tapping on the left side of your head at the temple, around the ear and down to the base of your head / top of your neck – while saying out loud your “negative” statement. Tap with firm but not hard pressure and do this 4-5 times.
2. Repeat the taping on the right side using your positive statement 4-5 times
3. Our bodies and triple warmer does not like change so to really change a habit or belief do this a few times a day.
4. Very important is to make sure the wording is right for you. I suggest writing it down to make sure you are comfortable with the wording and there is great power in the written word as well.

Watch Titanya Dahlin in the 1 minute video
For a deeper “how too” experience watch Donna Eden
Here is a good article about it from Psychology Today

4. Positive Affirmations and Visualizations
Here we are at what I consider the base of the basics! If you don’t already know an affirmation is a positive statement you say to yourself. I was once on my way to visit my mother in the nursing home and I was completely overwhelmed, scared, and very emotional and felt very alone. I began to repeat, “I am strong, brave and loved” and within minutes I felt relief. It doesn’t mean I went into some dreamland where reality didn’t exist, but I was able to handle the day in a loving way. I was able to be present and help her.

Visualization is seeing and feeling yourself in a situation you want. The sports world is actually very progressive in this area. They are taught to visualize – to see themselves getting that hole in one or hitting that home run. It’s about seeing and believing you can do it!

This is an excellent article about the benefits of positive thinking from the Mayo Clinic!

Another fantastic article from the Huffington Post

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

Walking Towards Your Highest Self


With eyes closed, breathing deeply and slowing in your nose and out your mouth imagine you being your ideal self. See yourself healthy, happy, confident and surrounded by love.

With each breadth in take in an aspect of who you want to be, who you are becoming. You are already everything you want to be, you now just walk forward to step into it.

Visualize your best possible self standing a few feet from you and with each breadth in you take a step closer to your ideal self and after a few steps you easily step into the power of who you are.

Once you feel comfortable in your new skin sit with yourself for a few minutes, you have now created a new energy pattern. Your ideal self is your birthright, claim it and feel how beautiful you are. Breathe that in.

The Radiant Tree


Get comfortable and begin to breath slowly and deeply in your noise and out your mouth.

Imagine you are deep in the woods surrounded by beautiful healthy green leaves and grass everywhere. See yourself laying down on the soft warm ground and continue your deep slow breathing.

Begin to feel yourself, as if a seed, begin to root your body, your energy into the ground. Your roots deepen and become one with the earth – you begin to feel your body expand and reach upward. You are transforming, growing into a strong beautiful tree. You are drawing up strength from your roots to for your energy to transform into the tree trunk, and you grow branches and on these branches leaves and flower begin to blossom.

You now begin to feel warmth showering down on you. You see radiant universal light showering down into and onto you, coating your branches and leaves with shimmering radiant light.

Let these images and feelings of being this radiant tree sink deeply into who you are. In your heart you can see how beautiful you are and you know you can easily become everything you want to be. Breathe that in and call upon this energy whenever you need it.

The Golden Star


This visualization puts you in harmony with the earth and heavens allowing for a broader sense of connection to your higher self. Don’t get caught up in the exact shapes I am describing – you can’t do this wrong. Let your own intuition guide you and intention is everything.

With eyes closed and breathing slowly and deeply imagine a 5 pointed star lying over your entire body. See a golden light begin to glow on the lower right side of your body, then see the golden light traveling up to the center of your body, then down to the lower left side of your body and then up to the middle of your right side, then see the golden light traveling straight over to the middle of your left side and then the golden light travels back to your lower right side creating a golden star over you. Now see this golden light begin to swirl in a clockwise circle within and around your body. Breath in this golden light and let it seep into every cell and part of your energy field.

You can create this golden star anywhere in your body – on a specific organ, on your entire physical body and you can even visualize this star larger than your physical body and let it encompasses your entire being and beyond. Whichever way you decide to visualize this you can also see the golden star gently floating down into the core of your being. It’s extremely healing and balancing. Enjoy!

Cleansing The Heart Chakra


In order for us to walk forward and create positive change we must come from love and in order to do that we must clear our heart chakras and let go of old wounds. This visualization has always made us feel energetically lighter and is extremely effective.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and turn your attention inward. See your heart as a flower about to bloom. The outside is green and the petals inside are pink and they begin to bloom one petal at a time…as each petal opens dust and dirt effortlessly falls out…it blows away with a gentle wind…another petal opens, more debris falls away…take as much time as you need to see each petal open and clear. As the flower blossoms the dirt falling out reveals a radiant glowing pink flower purified and cleared of all old emotions and energy…you have let go. Now invite loving presence to come into your heart…you are an open channel to the love and light and are bathed in that energy. You are new and ready to live in love. Breathe that in.

Manifesting What You Want


Use this when you need to overcome doubts when you are trying to manifest what you want.

Close your eyes, take a deep breadth and in your minds eye see beautiful light(s) showering through you. This light is intuitive and knows exactly where to go to clear away all doubts and blockages that are getting in the way of your clear intent. The tension is effortlessly draining out your body as you are being filled with the security that your energy is clear, strong and connected with the abundance of the universe. Once you feel clear of doubt bring yourself back to what it is you want to create and see it and feel it. Really let yourself get into the details of what it is you are wanting and once you feel connected to this reality “tap it in” and let it go knowing you have just placed your order and you will get what you want.

To tap something in you gently tap between your eyebrows with one or more fingers. This is a reflex point for your nervous system and by tapping in a beautiful moment or moment of believe in your visualization you are telling your nervous system, yes this possible and will happen.

You Are Everything


This is a two-part visualization and you can make it as short or as long as you want. Read through it first and then get comfortable and take a few deep slow breadths.

Imagine you are comfortably lying in a shallow river and the water is rushing around your body. Feel yourself letting go of fear, grief and any obstacle that you want to get rid of. Feel the river washing it all away. It’s washing away everything you do not need or want in your life. Whether it is emotions, situations or an unhealthy connection to someone let the river take it and feel it flowing away. Feel the release in your body, the lightness you feel from being letting go and being cleansed. Sit with this as long as you need to.

Now that you have let go and released its time to renew and refill the space you have just created. Step away from the river and walk into the forest. In your minds eye find the perfect place to lie on the ground. Imagine you are a seed and plant yourself into the earth. Feel yourself rooting and grounding. See yourself sprouting from a seed into a sprout and you slowly begin to grow into a tree. Your roots grow deeper and your trunk begins to grow strong and grow branches and leaves. You are growing tall and feel the sun feeding you and the earth strengthening you. Stretch out your branches and take in from the sun, from the heavens what you want. Take in love, strength, hope and everything positive you can imagine. Really let yourself feel power you have – feel it in your mind, body and spirit. Breathe it in and sit in this energy for as long as you like. End by getting up and stretching your physical body and give yourself a big hug.

You Are Your Ideal Self


With eyes closed begin to take slow deep breaths in your nose and out your mouth. In your minds eye see your self exactly as you wish to be. See yourself perfectly healthy and perfectly happy. See yourself smiling and surrounded by people who love and respect you. You feel powerful and centered in who you are. You are beautiful and feel at peace. Take your time imagining yourself exactly as you want to be and know this image of yourself is now real. Keep this image in your head and heart and just see yourself this way and begin to metaphorically, or literally, walk towards this ideal self. If you see it you will become it, know this is true and breathe it in.

The Healing Lotus


With your eyes closed take a few deep breathes in your noise and out your mouth. In your minds eye see yourself letting go of negative emotions. You are letting go of unhealthy connections to people and situations and they gently fall away. See anything dark or heavy falling off your body like a sheet dropping to the floor and into the earth.

As these things fall away a beautiful crystalline colored lotus flower blossoms in its place. Anywhere there is negativity or distresses a lotus blossoms. If some of the petals are brown or dark begin, in your minds eye, to gently pull these darker petals out and let them blow away or fall into the earth. With every dark petal you let go of a new clear one appears.

The lotus flowers are blossoming within you and around you. See these crystalline lotus flowers vibrating with radiance and let yourself sit in this beautiful energy while you continue to breathe. During your exhale you may want to deeply blow out any heavy energy you may feel. You are now clear, light, radiant and free. Breathe that in.

Everything Is Possible

See all your possibilities.

What are you open to? What is possible for you? During this visualization really let go of the self doubts or limitations you think you have or that others have put into your head – let your inner light, your higher self and your heart open to every possibility that exits.

Sit quietly with your eyes closed and breathe slowly in your nose and out your mouth. Imagine you are standing at the beginning of a pathway. There are doors lining this path and you begin to walk down opening the doors. Every door is a different possibility that exists for you. Every door is a new opportunity and new reality that you want and can choose to bring into your life. Don’t judge what is behind each door, let your intuition, the universe present you with wondrous possibilities you can create. You don’t have to worry about the hows or whys of these new opportunities just know they exist and be open to their manifestations. If you find something behind a door that you want in your life walk into that room and let your senses soak in the reality of it. You can have anything and everything is possible. Breadth that in.

Gratitude


When we are wanting to change, we have to take time to be grateful to ourselves and to everything around us in this present moment – remember what we give out is what we get back so being grateful sets the stage for us to attract positive things into our lives.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath in your nose and out your mouth and turn your attention inward. Send gratitude to every cell and organ in your body, feel the love and warmth of gratitude spread through you and begin to spread outward. See your life, the people who have touched it, good or bad, and be grateful, see their faces… your family, friends, the people you work with – and send them thanks. See our planet and send it love and gratitude. Connect with the truth that we are all one… people, animals, earth, the universe… that everything is connected and you honor that… you are sending everyone and everything deep love and gratitude and that energy is blanketing the planet. Through your gratitude you have opened all pathways leading to what you want. Breathe that in.

Healthy Body and Mind With Color


Get comfortable, close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply and slowly in your nose and out your mouth. Let your minds begin to connect with a color that feels healing to you. In your minds eye begin to imagine this beautiful color showering down from the top of your head, through every part of your body and out your feet.

Now see this color bathing each organ. Start from the top of your body, with your brain and imagine what it looks like and see the color bathing it gently and say to yourself “All of my brain functions are in perfect health and are making healthy connections – thank you brain” and work your way down, eyes, throat, lungs, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, gallbladder, small and large intestine, kidney and bladder. See each organ bathed in a beautiful radiant color (or colors) and affirm it is in perfect health and thank it for doing its job so well. Send gratitude to each and every part of yourself. Once you are done let your hands rub up and down the sides of your arms and tell yourself what a great job you are doing, because you are. Breathe that in.

Helpful Colortherapy hint: A Color Shower Quickie. You can do this with your eyes open if you are, for example, waiting on line. Just imagine the color you feel most drawn to and see it showering down through your entire body or bathing a specific area.

You can never go wrong bathing yourself in colors, affirming your own health and thanking yourself – it goes a long way.
