Advanced Grounding Techniques – Part 2

Posted on by
7

Hello everyone. Today I want to give you another Advanced Grounding Technique that I have seen help countless clients, family and friends to reduce their fear, stress and anxiety levels dramatically.

If you have not read my previous posts on grounding, be sure to read them first so that you are familiar with the terms and main techniques. You can find the first one here: Staying Grounded… and the second one here: Advanced Grounding Techniques Once you’ve gotten the previous techniques down, then come back to this post.

Ok, so you have your body, chakras and aura grounded. You’re in your place of power in the center of your head, and you’re relaxed and calm. Now is a great time to use the next technique. This one involves your negative emotions and the pictures in your memory that causes those emotions to come up. Whenever we think about a past experience, whether positive or negative, the first thing that happens is we “see” a picture of the event in our mind’s eye. Then, based on our feelings and the experience we had at that time, we then express an emotion about that picture.

Everyone does this, and we do it all the time. There is not any time when we do not feel an emotion about a past experience, unless you have really trained yourself to be in neutrality, and you are able to look at your life experiences from that neutral space. Suffice it to say that the majority of people have not trained themselves in that fashion, so they are indeed feeling an emotion about their past. Ok, so you think of a past experience and have an emotion about it. The question then becomes, “How does this effect me?”

You have all had the experience of thinking about a memory that was not pleasant and then having negative emotions come up about that experience. For some, these emotions can become overwhelming due to the nature of the memory and what took place. I have helped many people that suffer panic/anxiety attacks and found that they all are going through this process in an extreme way. Something triggers a memory of a “bad time” and they go into panic mode. As anyone who has suffered such an attack can tell you, it’s completely debilitating. Most people practically freeze in place; their bodies are completely overwhelmed by the fear emotion and they cannot hardly breathe, much less move.

The Technique

As with anything in life, each of us feels these things to varying degrees, but the main point is that the negative emotions do not feel good. You can change that now, by utilizing this process and letting those fear based emotions go. Just like I talked about in the first Advanced Grounding Techniques post, you can give a grounding cord to basically anything, as we are dealing with energy, and energy can be manipulated to work for you on any level. This technique is just as easy and simple as the others are. When you remember something that causes you to feel a negative emotion, see in your minds eye the picture that is there and give that picture it’s own grounding cord. Once you’ve set up the cord to the center of the earth, set it on release and see all the negative emotions associated with that picture being released down the cord.

While this is happening, forgive yourself for whatever brought that memory up to your consciousness; also forgive yourself for the original situation you found yourself in. Be thankful and grateful for what the experience taught you, and let it go with love and peace. Remember, there really are only two emotions. At any given time, you are either feeling love or fear. All the emotions we have labels for fit into one of those two main categories. As Abraham says, you really only have two choices: To feel better or to feel worse.

Depending on how intense the feeling is for the particular memory you’re reviewing, you may feel immediate relief on a huge level, or you may just feel calmer than you did when the memory came up. There is no right or wrong way to feel when you do this. Any relief is a good thing. For most situations, you may only need to ground the picture one time to let the negative energy go. If you have a greater attachment to the memory, it may require a few times to get it to the point where you don’t have the negative emotions bombard you whenever you think about that picture.

By doing this process when you are in a calm, relaxed state to begin with, you can let go a lot more as there is little to no resistance inside yourself. You can also do this “on the fly”, as it were, when something comes up for you. Find a place where you can sit down for a few minutes and ground yourself and the picture the best you can. Get as centered as possible and try to allow the release to happen. Don’t worry if you don’t feel like you were able to ground it when the emotion first hits if you are not in a place to do so comfortably. Just tell the emotion that you’ll deal with it later. I’ve seen that work amazingly well on many occasions. Once you are in your safe environment, no matter where that is, go through the process as I’ve laid it out and re-set a new grounding cord on that picture.

The more you practice these techniques, the better you will feel overall. By the very act of consciously letting go of the negative emotions, forgiving yourself and being at peace with what was, you are telling yourself that you want to feel more good emotions in your life. Because that becomes your predominant thought and feeling, you bring to yourself better feeling thoughts and experiences. As you do that, you will find that you can accomplish more in, and with, your life.

Please leave a comment to let us know your experiences with this or if you have any questions.

Deep Peace,

Understanding Manifestation and Creation

Posted on by
3

Here’s a situation I see fairly frequently with friends and clients who are new to the Law of Attraction and metaphysics in general. They tend to not fully understand manifestation and creation in regards to the Law of Attraction and how they are the major part of that manifestation.

When I’ve asked them “when are you manifesting and creating?”, most say that when they’ve created something “big” in their lives, whether it was a positive or negative experience, then that is when they were manifesting. They can see the evidence of the Law of Attraction and how it works in their lives, but their perspective is narrow, as they are only looking at these large events that have taken place.

This is not unusual. Most people only really remember the “big events” of their life. Those that have impacted them in a strong emotional way. Rarely does anyone recall or remember the small things that happen on a daily basis. Because we are not taught to pay attention to everything going on around us and inside us, we tend to let those small things drift out of our consciousness. I see this as one of the blocks to our spiritual evolution, and another reason why some people have a difficult time manifesting what they want.

Here is what I tell my healing clients and metaphysical students:

Everything that is in your life right now, you manifested. Everything that has ever been in your life, you manifested.

So what do I mean by “everything”? I mean exactly that. Everything. Every moment, every thought, every action, every feeling, every experience; you created for yourself. That’s what we are. We’re creators and manifestors. We have thoughts, which create feelings, which create desires, which create manifestations. By understanding that this is who we are and this is how we operate, we can now see that EVERYTHING we do is a creation and that it is all sacred.

Does this mean you have to acknowledge every minute thing in your life? Every thought, or feeling, or action, no matter how seemingly insignificant? Of course, you acknowledge everything, but you don’t have to examine each thing separately. You can if you want to, but that would cause you to not get much accomplished, as you’d be too busy acknowledging every breath, and every heart beat, etc. No, you don’t have to go to that extreme, but you do have to acknowledge, in general, that you are the one manifesting all of these things going on, and to be grateful for them in your life.

That said, I will tell you that the more you do acknowledge, appreciate and are grateful for the smaller events and experiences in your life, the more positive experiences you’ll create for yourself. This is the main principle of the Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. As you become more and more grateful for all that is around and in you, more and more circumstances will be created that you can be grateful for.

What Is Your Perspective?

Another aspect to understanding manifestation and creation is knowing what your perspective is. To illustrate this point, let me give you my favorite example. If you are looking at a rose, then what are you seeing? Well, a flowering bush that we call a rose, that has certain colors and smells and other characteristics we find pleasurable, for the most part. There are the thorns, which are not pleasurable, but if we’re careful then we don’t have to worry about them. In the main, it’s a beautiful flower, and we enjoy it. 

Rose

Rose

Now what if you were a farmer raising daisies? What would your perspective be then, if you saw a rose in the middle of your daisy field? Now, that is no longer a beautiful flower to be admired for it’s color and scent. No, now that rose a weed. But wait a minute, it’s a rose. How can one of the most cherished flowers in history be thought of as a weed? From the perspective of the farmer, it’s easy. The rose is not where it “should” be, and it certainly isn’t supposed to be in the middle of the daisies.

This example can be applied to everything that you experience. Do you see how our perspective changes everything? To most, the idea of a single rose bush flowering in the middle of all the white and yellow of the daisies would be an interesting contrast indeed, but the farmer’s gone for the weed killer and a hoe. Once you recognize that how you see things determines your feelings about them, you can begin to change your perspective to one that is not limiting and negative. One of the fastest ways to do this is by acknowledging that you were the one who created whatever is in front of you to begin with.

This will give you an opportunity to re-examine your perspective on the object, person or situation and change it to a more positive one. If it’s something that is “perceived” as a negative, then forgive yourself, let the negativity of it go, and even if you can’t see anything particularly positive about it at the moment, at least get as neutral to it as you can. Once you practice this, you’ll see how your feelings and perspective changes about everything around you. You will begin to bring in much more positive experiences into your life.

By understanding that you create it all and that you have the ability to change your perspective, you will allow yourself to see more than you’ve seen before. You will give yourself a view of your life that is clear and uncluttered. You will give yourself a level of gratitude and love higher than you’ve ever experienced. In turn, your prosperity and abundance, on all levels, will grow tremendously.

Bright Blessings to you!

Law of Attraction – Methods and Techniques: Part 3

Posted on by
6

In this last part, I want to talk with you about what I believe is the number one thing that you have to have, use, feel, and be if you truly want to manifest anything in your life. To this end, I want to tell you two stories about how I came to understand this particular idea that completely changed how I view, not only my life and how I live it, but everything.

To begin, I need to go back to 1973 when I was 15 years old, and had first developed my own metaphysical philosophy. I had just started exploring the writings of every known metaphysician of the time, and allowing myself to understand my abilities, even if I wasn’t “in control” of them as yet. While the majority of the books were beyond dull for the most part and written in stylistic language, I got the concepts of what they were saying. Combining that with the various ideas from the science fiction books I constantly read, I came up with my first true belief system. Others along the way have also written of this concept, but as far as I know I’m the only one who looks at it in this particular way.

My concept is simple. I think of Source Energy, The Divine, God, All That Is (what ever you choose to call it) as a diamond of infinite size with infinite facets. Each facet is a life, or life time. We look out through a facet and observe and experience “our life”. Because we are only looking through one facet, we are limited in what we can see and experience. By using metaphysical techniques such as meditation, we can actually turn our “mind’s eyes” inward and see that indeed, we are all one thing. That we are aspects of Source Energy, which is experiencing itself through our experiences.

For years, I thought that this philosophy was fairly complete and I didn’t see the need to add or subtract anything from it. Even the Native Americans had a saying for what I believed. The Lakotah say “Mitakuye Oyasin!” which means “We are all related”. And they mean related to everything. They pray to the animals, and the plants and the insects and stars and everything and call them “brothers” and “sisters”. I fell in love with the Lakotah way and incorporated their beliefs and teachings into my daily life. Then, a few months ago, everything changed.

I had an epiphany. I’m talking about one in the true dictionary definition of the word. Merriam-Webster’s third definiton is the one I mean:

3 a (1): a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something (2): an intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking (3): an illuminating discovery, realization, or disclosure b: a revealing scene or moment

Indeed, this was something that was both simple and striking and it gave me an even deeper insight into the nature of everything. I was petting our cat Squeak; enjoying his company and the trilling sounds he makes when he’s really happy and being grateful for his presence, when words came to me that I had never spoken before. I looked at him and said, “Thank you for sharing your life with me.”

The energy and impact of those words reverberate through me to this day. Allowing myself the understanding and true meaning of that simple sentence changed how I perceived everything. It not only drove home in a much deeper way our connection to all things we consider “living”, but to ALL THINGS THAT ARE!

We use the term “inanimate” because to our eyes, certain objects are not moving. Physics says everything vibrates and moves, even if it takes sophisticated scientific equipment to see the actual vibration. You see, it’s always a question of our perspective. We tend to see and experience only what we allow ourselves to “see”. Once we let ourselves truly see, then we widen our perspective and can experience even more of this life.

This simple sentence allowed me to experience a sense of gratitude deeper than I’ve ever felt in my life. I became instantly aware of the living presence that is everything. I came to the realization that everything that is in my experience was sharing it’s experience and “life” with me. From the computer desk where I write this, to the newly sprouted weeds in the backyard, to everything you can name; it’s all sharing it’s life with me, right here, right now.

Since that day, I carry with me an immense feeling of deep gratitude for everything that is. I constantly say “thank you for sharing your life with me” to everything around me. I am so profoundly grateful for everything I am, everything I was, everything I will be and for everything I experience, whether that be an object, a person or a situation.

Once you start to incorporate this idea into your life, your perspective will change as well. How you perceive and experience everything will change. Once you come to the realization that this is the main thing that is happening all around us; that everything in our experience is sharing it’s life with you, your level of gratitude will absolutely soar! If you know this, feel this, BELIEVE this, everything else will fall into place. Even if you do nothing else in your life, this simple act will increase your abundance on all levels. By understanding that we are all here together; that there is no real separation; that everything is ONE! then you will have aligned yourself with Source Energy in such a powerful way that everything you want and desire cannot help but be made manifest in your experience.

This is, in my humble opinion, the most powerful thought, act, way of being that will improve every aspect of your life. By having this level of gratitude for all things in your life, you are in reality saying “I love you” to all that is. Nothing is more powerful than that. Nothing is more fulfilling than that. Nothing is more sacred than that.

 

Thank you for sharing your life with me.


I love you.

Law of Attraction – Methods and Techniques: Part 2

Seeing Is Believing

Of course, what I’m talking about here is using visualization as a tool to help you manifest what you want. You’ve written down what your desire is, you believe you can have it and you are giving yourself permission and allowing it into your reality. To give all of that an immense energetic boost, you plug into your natural ability to visualize the object or situation.

By going into any form of meditation that you choose and calming the mind chatter, you can very quickly bring into sharp focus in your minds eye exactly what you want. You can see it in great detail. You can hear the sounds it makes if it makes any. You can smell any scents that come from it. You can touch it, not only on a emotional feeling level, but on a physical one as well. Yes indeed, you can actually “touch” a visualization. Many people, myself included, have had the sensation while visualizing something strongly, that we were in actual physical contact with the thing being visualized.

One thing to be aware of when doing your visualization is to not get too caught up in fine details. In other words, don’t try to “micro manage” it down to the last molecule. You’ll make yourself nuts trying to get into that much detail, and you’ll have the feeling that it isn’t “right” or “correct”. That will most definitely cause a resistant energy inside you that will block what you want from coming. Yes, you want to be specific, but you don’t have to have a “perfect” picture to have it manifest. (I’ll be discussing “perfect pictures” in another post.)

Now that you have a good visual of the thing you want, place yourself with it. If it’s an object, see yourself holding it, if it’s small enough to hold, or next to it if it’s something big like a house or car. If it’s a situation, then see yourself being in that situation and interacting with it and anyone involved with it. In both instances, give yourself the idea of enjoying the feeling of being there, either with the object or situation. Feel gratitude that you have what you want in the visualization. If this seems akward to you, remember how you felt when you received something that you wanted. Remember how thankful and grateful you were for it and how it felt to have it in your reality. Now transfer that good feeling to the new thing in your minds eye.

Letting Go and Going With the Flow

Sit with this visualization for at least 5 minutes. When you are done, allow yourself to come back into a present state of mind and allow yourself to feel the peace and joy of the thing you want coming to you, and then go about whatever you are to do next, and let the object go. What I mean by that is if you keep the desire constantly in your mind, you’ll notice all the time that you don’t have it yet. One thing you want to avoid is over-thinking about what you want. This sets up more resistance inside your energy, because you want what you want, but it’s not here yet. By letting it go after you’ve visualized it, you are giving yourself permission to let the energy unfold naturally and you are allowing yourself to be at peace with the time it takes to receive it.

Stuart Wilde talks alot about yearning for, and leaning energetically into your desire and how that pushes what you want away from you and he’s absolutely correct. The more you reach for it from the place of “I don’t have this desire met yet”, the more it doesn’t show up. You have to be relaxed and calm about the timing of it showing up. Once you are in that place of peace and energetic relaxation about it, it’ll show up quicker than you thought it would. Also, the more you practice being neutral to “when” your desire shows up, the faster all of your desires show up. You can see this in your own experience by remembering when other desires showed up for you. How long did they take to manifest? You’ll find that the more relaxed you were about it, the less time it took, and the more you yearned and longed for and leaned into the desire, the longer it took.

“You really only have two choices. To feel worse or to feel better.” – Abraham

This goes back to my Second Level posts and the nature of duality that we deal with in this life. It is also a very true statement, but most people don’t realize that they are the ones who have the ability to decide how they feel at any given moment. No matter what happens, it’s your choice to decide to feel worse or better about it. The more you choose to feel better about it, the less resistance you place in your energy, the more what you want and desire comes to you. The wonderful thing about this is that you can change how you feel in an instant. It isn’t hard and doesn’t take any effort to do it either. You simply decide how you are going to feel and that’s how you will feel.

Now, did you feel any resistance to what you just read? I’ve had many people tell me that they can’t change how they feel “just like that”, and I ask them why not? The typical response is that it’s not easy. To that I say that’s because you have been practicing how hard it is instead of how easy it is. Then they say “that’s easier said than done” and I tell them no, it’s as easy as said as done. Remember, your words and your thoughts have power. If you say and decide you are going to feel better right here, right now in this present moment, then you will. It is ALWAYS your choice. The more you realize and understand that, the easier it is for you to change anything in your life you want to, including your emotions. The other thing to remember is that noone has the power to “make” you feel anything. Only you have that power. Decide to feel better in each situation, and you will not only achieve the desires you want, you will also greatly reduce any stress in your life.

More techniques to come in Part 3. Stay tuned in, tapped in and turned on. =)

Bright Blessings!
