The guidance has been coming clearly and consistently. Use sound vibrations to clear the energy around which tends to get cluttered and stagnant. I am talking about mind energy, thought energy, energy of emotions, all the stuff that can make us feel overwhelmed and anxious.

Sometimes the mind goes at the speed of a thousand miles in no particular direction. It is merely reacting — planning, moving, running, reaching, ducking and doing all kinds of things it thinks useful just to make us feel safe. Unfortunately, the feeling of safety derived by reacting to outer circumstances does not last long. There is another anchor, and that is within one’s own deeper spirit.

Sound meditation takes us close to that. We are natural singers. When we allow ourselves to sing we feel wonderful. Our social conditioning prevents us from doing that because it is surrounded by all kinds of judgements. We are worrying about what others may think. Time to release that now.

The guidance is clear. Restore the voice. Articulate the sounds. All the turbulence will melt after a while and make way for clear sounds. A pure sound that creates overtones opens up the pathways to download higher levels of vibrations. The mind rests. The crown center opens and allows communication with the spiritual realm. The body relaxes. The stream finds its way to our deeper wisdom.

Try it. Any sound. Try Om, or Ah or anything in between or around. No boundaries. Just playing. Sing a song you love. Sing as if only the angels are hearing you, and as they harmonize with overtones. Drop all inhibitions. Sing. Play with the tones. Sometimes you will find one that feels like heaven.

Your throat center is the seat of Divine Will. This is from where your authentic power flows. Give it space to open up. Enjoy.

With love from Malabika, who has had first hand experience of this. Watch the mind fog melt away.

boiled frog
Familiar with the boiled frog syndrome?

This is how it goes. If you put a frog in a pot of hot water, it will swiftly jump out. The survival mechanism kicks right in and all systems get going.

On the other hand, if you put a frog in a pot of water and gently apply heat, the frog will stay. It will in fact start to enjoy the warmth. Mostly likely, it will feel very happy. Let it’s muscles relax. And by the time it begins to sense that the water is too hot for comfort, it is in such a state of beatific stupor, that it cannot muster enough muscle strength to jump out. So it just sits there and boils.

Now, why am I telling you this story? See any connections to addictions? It is the story of all addictions, is it not? Food, alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, shopping, TV, sports, workaholism — I could go on and on. What starts out as a good feeling slowly will traps us in, and unless we are alert, threatens our wellbeing (poor Tiger Woods, almost boiled that time).

So the question comes up as to how does one know whether one is headed towards boiling? There will be many sign posts along the way. Here is a quick checklist.

Is what I am doing numbing me out?
Is it dumbing me down?
Is it giving me less pleasure than I thought it would?
Is it getting to be boring and repititive?
Am I doing this more out of habit than from conscious desire?
Is it keeping me from doing something else I had in mind?
Do I use this to distract myself from what I think is a problem?

Of course this is not exhaustive, but you get the idea. It may take a little extra effort to jump out from the hot water once you realize you are in it. Better now than later. Now than not.

And sometimes one may need a helping hand to bring back that agility – a family member, a friend, a well-wisher, a truth-sayer, a helper, a coach or a counselor.

The instability around is symbolic of the water heating rapidly. It is shouting out “remain alert and agile”. Take a good look at your patterns and recognize the ones that are headed to boil. It is good to know that all problems have inherent within the solutions that we can grow from. Not growing is not an option.

So let’s not boil our frogs. Jump out to live another day in another place. Enjoy.

Did you know that your soul energy is an uniquely individuated part of consciousness, that holds within it the highest potential? And did you know that the only purpose of the soul showing up as you in the human form here on earth is to learn to love even more? And did you know that with each lifetime of loving, the soul becomes more refined, moves to an expanded level of consciousness and is capable of creating magnificently?

The soul recognizes only the path of love. Everything that is unlike love is so irrelevant for the soul’s purpose that it expends minimal energy on it. Just as a plant needs to grow in its earth environment to reach a level of maturity to bear the fruit is was seeded to do, we too have to come to a stae of physical, mental and emotional maturity, before our souls can get to the real work. Meanwhile it sits around waiting, and watching, and smiling at our follies, and waiting some more, and whispering — love love love.

And every now and again when we feel completely relaxed and free from fear, the souls energy rushes in to guide us to the next idea, people, circumstances and resources for the next level of creation with love.

And we call it divine inspiration.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have the awareness to make that more of our everyday reality.

mind_web Can’t do the same old things and think the same old thoughts and expect a different outcome, can you? As an Energy Healing Arts practitioner helping people over the years, the most important thing I have come to learn is that it is our thinking process that holds the greatest power.

Sometimes a person will show up with chronic depression, history of failures and low self esteem. The energy work we do together will work great. She (or he) will bounce out of the room all energized, gung ho and hopeful. But it does not last. Why? Because the person has become so grooved into seeing herself as a sick and powerless person that the mind automatically defaults into that position and perpetuates it.

This is the more challenging part of the healing process — training the mind to change, to assume another perspective, to let go of cynicism, to allow another possibility. Then and only then do we start to create the energetic vibrations needed to bring that change about.

So if you are ill, and define yourself by your illness, always talk about it, complain, freak out, blame, always looking for reasons to justify, wallow in self pity etc. etc. ……. expect to remain ill for a long long time. Similarly, if you are have a shortage of funds and are always complaining about the lack of money, and how you can’t do anything because you don’t have the money, envying folks who do, and blaming and so on……. expect the shortage to be your friend for a long long time.

If you want things to change in your life, something has to change in the way you perceive life and in your thoughts and your behavior. Therein lies the power to chnage.

And if you need some support as to how take a look at my Mentorship Program.

” I want to thank you for helping us see our relationship in a new way. It is an unusual road we have traveled, and a different place we are at…… I appreciate the way you approached us and feel like it was a huge step forward.”

One of the most common feedback I recieve from my clients, as the one quoted above, is that they are able to see the same old things from a whole new perspective. “I never thought of it that way” or “I much prefer seeing it this way” are also common exclamations.

This is the whole point.

Our minds get grooved easily into existing patterns, old molds, handed down beliefs, traditions, programs, collective mind set and very soon go round and round in the same circuit. Unconsciously we keep slipping back into that groove. New books and ideas help change some. But the real courage needed to make significant changes comes only from the inner spirit, the deeper wisdom of the self.

And all I do is scratch the surface to help them get an insight into their inner conflict and viola, they have a whole new perspective. It is such a relief, such a breath of fresh air, like a window to freedom just got opened up.

The perspective from inner spirit is decidedly different from that of the mind. It is quite upside down or downside up if you will. Takes some courage to adopt such a perspective. But when the pain of remaining stuck becomes more than one can bear, we are all able to muster the courage. Such, at least, is my experience.

Always fun to hear testimonies directly as experienced. Here is Kim’s story.
Today I had my annual health assessment at Principal Financial Group. My company requires their employees to get these assessments once a year in order to give them discounts on their benefits. Basically it goes over cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure readings. My cholesterol and triglycerides are consistently AWFUL every year thanks in part to bad genes from my father and grandpa (they are both on cholesterol medication). Mine is bad enough I could qualify being on medication myself…..at least, that is what they tell me every year. Each year, my labs keep going higher and higher and I have 5-years of atrocious results in my health file to prove they’ve never gone down; only up.

Well, I receive the weekly EFT newsletter and I remember reading about a case of a man who used EFT to bring his cholesterol readings down and thought, “Well it can’t hurt as bad as mine are. I’ll give it a try.” So yesterday and this morning, I started tapping on the acupressure points saying the appropriate affirmations needed, imagining my cholesterol was really low while I tapped.

I also inherited high blood pressure from my father and grandpa as well. They are also on medication for this. If I exercise, my blood pressure is very good. But if I do not exercise, it shoots right up. It is VERY sensitive. The problem with my blood pressure today is I am just getting over a bad cough. And another thing that tends to affect my blood pressure is cold medicine. It also quickly raises my blood pressure (last week when I took my blood pressure after taking some over-the-counter medicine it was 133 over 95) I thought, there is no way I’m going to be able to get a good reading after taking my cough syrup this morning. So I did EFT tapping this morning to counteract any affects of my cold medicine. And even while the technician was taking my blood pressure, I visualized tapping on all my acupressure points saying to myself, “my blood pressure is within the normal range. It is 120 over 70.”

So what were the results? My blood pressure was 122 over 70. Pretty darn close to what I was telling my body. But sometimes I do have good blood pressure so I might be able to explain that away. But there is no way I can rationalize this next part…… My triglycerides dropped 45 points from last year. My bad cholesterol (LDL) dropped 60 points. My good cholesterol was great – they say that only marathon runners have that kind of HDH cholesterol. Let’s not forget I’m overweight so that’s working against me too. I haven’t changed my diet; I haven’t changed my exercise habits. The medical tech who went over my results also had all my prior years tests in front of her and she was shocked and wanted to know what I had been doing to change my numbers so drastically. Well, I just smiled and said that I’d be doing some alternate healing work and just left it at that (she had other patients waiting after all). Just when I was wondering if any of my tapping was doing any good. I feel I have the confidence to keep using EFT and experimenting with it for other things.

When it rains, it pours!

I am just getting over a bad cough. Its pretty deep in my chest. I ran out of antibiotics a couple days ago. So I was debating about going back to the doctor to get more. I know there are some lung issues going on already. Whenever I run outside in the cooler months, I notice it helps to develop a deep cough in me that shows up primarily in the mornings and evenings. Its been like this for several years. Most websites refer to this as exercise induced asthma. It only happens when I run outside and it’s cool. But on the flip side, I’ve had a couple medical intuitives tell me that while back, I inhaled something into my lungs that caused some damage (a chemical or molds). That doesn’t really surprise me – my old apartment building that I lived in always seemed damp (mold? Or who knows maybe lead paint or asbestos with it being an old building?) When lung cells are destroyed, they cannot be re-grown. Its just one of those things. Well since I got this bad cold and cough, the nagging deep cough has returned. I don’t know if my illness inflamed an already existing problem, or if I have scar tissue in there, or what’s going on but its been pretty bad lately since I’ve been sick. The antibiotics were helping but I ran out of those 3 days ago and so its been getting worse.

I was coughing so bad last night. I had no cough syrup to take and figured I keep Joe awake all night and had to try something before I went to bed. I used Reiki first on my lungs for healing. Then I used EFT to get rid of my nagging cough. And then using EFT, I ordered my body to start reproducing lung cells to return normal lung capacity and function. Even though medical science says it can’t be done (Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”) Of course I also use prayer whenever I’m doing Reiki and EFT. I don’t do any of the healing modalities I’ve learned without prayer because…..well, I just don’t. These are healing tools from God so it only makes sense to include him in what I’m doing.

By the time I was done, I could tell something had happened. Instead of a wheezing in my chest, I felt this stillness in my lungs. And I never coughed again before going to bed. As always, I received confirmation in my dreams last night of what is happening. The entire dream was about snakes…..snakes around me and one even bit me. To most people, this dream might not mean anything. But snakes are a very powerful symbol of transformation and healing – think of a snake’s skin. Shedding of the old to make way for the new. And healing has often been associated with snakes (for instance, there’s the medical symbol of 2 snakes intertwined on a staff)

Today, I woke up and the constant coughing is gone. I have a very shallow, dry cough. Its certainly not the deep cough I had yesterday and I’m not doing it very much. Its not completely gone but it’s a very different feeling. The true test will be this evening as that is when my cough is typically the worst. But something definitely happened last night.

This is getting kinda fun! If I can do this with my body, then I should be able to do this with my finances. Its no different….only in my mind have I convinced myself its different. So perhaps I need to do some EFT to remove that programming.

To the folks who feel utterly frustrated, angry and helpless currently — “Remember, if the life you are leading has the resources to produce within you a specific desire, then the resources also exist for your full receiving, or manifestation, of that desire.” — Abraham

From time to time, I feel the need to draw the attention back to the heart in meditation. There is a good reason for this. The world that we live in, our past experiences, have conditioned us to react to the outer impulses in away that  shuts our hearts down ever so tiny bit at a time, whenever we perceive a threat. It helps us to remember again and again that our true resources come through the channel of an open heart. Enjoy this 7  minute meditation.

“What is this Inner Being you keep referring to?” my friend asked.

 

A little ironic coming from a person whose entrepreneurial flair is legendary and as evident in the front line organizations he has initiated and built over the years.  This kind of zest, this intensity of focus, this level of creative endeavor would be elusive to anyone who is not intimately in touch with one’s own Inner Being.

 

Yet, the question has been asked, so I address it within the limitations of words.

 

In the vast ocean of consciousness, within which all creation is, which is that individuated part that shows up as YOU? You are a powerful vortex of the energy of consciousness, filtered through belief structures and anchored within this human body. Your mind and your emotions are gifts – tools for your creative purpose. And your Inner Being is that part of you which holds within it the full promise of your human potential just as a seed inherently holds the idea of the tree. And just as the seed matures to fruition in a healthy and conducive environment, so does the Inner Being.

 

Is this real, or a mere conceptual construct, you may ask? Conceptual no longer, most definitely real. More and more we are beginning to see the evidence of this space in the energy field, at a level of consciousness.

 

Unfortunately, not many of us can access this very valuable part of ourselves with the same ease and nonchalance as my friend does. Most of us have more of a ‘hit and miss’ relationship with our Inner Being – very tenuous one when we are stressed. So caught up are we in the world of survival and safety on the physical and psychological turfs, where do we have the time to nurture that seed to bear fruit?

 

Yet, it is this connection that gives meaning to our lives, puts passion in our efforts and beckons us to yet greater vistas. It brings with it excitement and growth. The Inner Being alone knows to savor the very juice life offers. Without it, we are roaming in a dry desert biding time.

 

If you are wondering how your Inner Being is faring, recount to yourself your moments of inspiration, instances of pure joy, occasions of complete connections.

 

Is it possible to sustain those feelings? Absolutely. Come here often. It takes  awareness and more than a little doing to release the old outmoded belief structures that veil us from our Inner Source.

A client just stopped by for a cup of tea and to tell me how he is doing.

“Funny”, he said, “just some months ago I was so despondent, discouraged, dragging my heels, depressed. And now I can’t wait to get up in the morning and get going. There is life waiting for me out there loaded with gifts. All I have to do is reach out and pluck the fruits”, he said. “The only reason I don’t already have them I realize”, he added, “that I didn’t really want them that much, at least not with the same degree of clarity I have now. I was more comfortable being miserable. No matter how much I hated it, it was a space I knew.”

And what changed it? Drugs, medication, therapy?!? Nope, none of those, at least in this case. Just plain awareness. Opening up to the knowledge about oneself through self study, meditations and energy healing practices that help change the thought process. And suddenly life is so much brighter and so much more fun.

Is it possible? You bet. Can someone teach me? Yes, of course. Check it out at this link.
