Get Comfortable with Subtle Energy

Michelle J. Howe — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 09:40:54 +0000

The gold in life is within our ability to sense and feel what is around us so we may… better maneuver within certain circles, navigate within the grand scheme of where we are docked and use our energy with more wisdom.

Questions for you:
What does an expansive YES feel like for you?
What does a restrictive, tightening of a NO feel like for you?

What and how does your body communicate with you?
Are you overriding, ignoring or totally missing subtle messages?

I have come full circle with myself on these questions and, noted an undermining pattern…

The pattern was to second-guess a thought that could not be substantiated by logic and trusting the vibes of others more than my own. I had spent time reading and attending plenty of development classes – but, I had not found my way to trusting my vibes beyond logic.

Issue being, understanding and validating our vibes – trusting our intuitive process is an important step in our development… Trust is a like the beams that hold up your house…

So, here is some advice for awakening men and women:

You must learn to recognize and trust the language of your soul.
You must pay attention and to notice our body, our mind and our heart.

I know it can be tough to think, feel and sense “subtle energies” but, it’s important.

First off – we have many senses and we all use them differently…..

The long and short of it is that we need to test our communication system to see how we receive from each channel…. We need to test out which channel is strongest and strengthen the other channels by actively using conscious communication.

The channels looks like this –

Seeing without using your eyes to see physically – images like a memory.
Hearing without using your ears to hear physically – words/sentences within your mind.
Sensing without touch comes into your whole body as heat, cold, tingles, etc…
Feeling without emotional highs comes from your heart as an overall vibration/tone.
Knowing without having studied, investigated or applied logic comes as an idea or awareness that sweeps right over you.
Smelling or tasting what is not physically present is another channel to note.

The above breaks down the channels of how we can receive and how we can connect with subtle dimensions, spirits, angels and more.

I invite you to make this your priority.

Bring a scene from your past, a beautiful scene into your consciousness and focus on each channel to see where and how you receive.

Manifestation, magic and Quantum physics – are they all just saying the same thing?

Juanita Pienaar — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 08:38:53 +0000

‘Ask, believe, receive’, ‘Your thoughts create your reality’, ‘Be careful what you wish for’. These are all sayings that have become a natural part of many people’s vocabulary. Advocates of manifestation and the Law of Attraction tell you to visualise something, really feel it, and you will receive it. Workers of magic use the same principle to infuse their spells with energy to create a desired outcome. But what does this have to do with quantum physics, you say? Well, scientists have recently found that ‘an observer’s’ thoughts changes the way sub-atomical particles behave. Basically they have proven that your thoughts could (and actually do) influence and create the physical world around you.

Law of attraction.

While there are a number of Universal Laws (also known as Spiritual Laws or Laws of Nature) that all influence the lives, situations and circumstances that we manifest in our lives, the Law of Attraction is the most well-known. Generally when people speak about the law of attraction they often include concepts of the other laws like the Laws of Vibration and Resonance – perhaps even without realising it.

The premise of the Law of Attraction is that your thoughts create your reality. Practitioners visualise their desires while infusing the visualisation with emotions, with the feelings of ‘already having it’ and with gratitude of receiving that which is asked for.

According to James Malins, the Wisdom Guide, “The law of attraction is an internal law that everything uses consciously and unconsciously. Once you start to become aware of your own creative ability you use desire, visualisation, emotion and action to bring your desires into the physical reality you live in”.

Magical energy work.

In the book Wicca: The Complete Craft, D.J. Conway defines magic as “the drawing down of energy from another realm and using that energy to create and shape a desired result. The Witch must create the result on the Inner Planes in order for it to follow universal laws and manifest on the physical plane”.

This does not only relate to practitioners of Wicca, but to all practitioners of witchcraft. Melanie Marquis, in her book A Witch’s World of Magic

instance, the belief that our conscious intentions and symbolic actions can sway the inner workings of the world around us”.

Quantum physics with special reference to wave function collapse.

Quantum physics might seem a bit intimidating at first but when you dig a bit deeper it offers amazing and interesting theories of understanding how the universe works. The field of quantum physics investigates the characteristics of the world around us right down to the subatomic level (or things we cannot see).

Quantum physicists have discovered that everything in the universe, everything that is seen and unseen, is all made up of energy – referred to by some as ‘light’. Some quantum physicists speak about wave forms of probabilities. These ‘probabilities’ have the potential of being any infinite amount of things that, could or will or may happen or not happen.

A bit confusing, huh? Bear with me… every ‘probability’ that ever existed, currently exist or will exist in the future is a wave form. As to date no one has figured out how these wave forms are made or where they come from, but they have proven that they exist.

Most of us know that everything is made up of molecules, which consists of atoms, what quantum physicists found is that these atoms are made up of sub-atomical particles which include photons, leptons, electrons, neutrons and quarks etc, which are made up of pure energy or light. This discovery stems from Albert Einstein’s discovery of E=MC². In short, it proved that everything is made up of pure energy or light.

Quantum physics has thus proven what Rumi said in the 13^th century: that “you are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop”. Basically we exist in this ocean of energy made up of the same energy as we are.

Through observation and research quantum physicists have proven that everything in the universe is vibrating frequency of energy (can you say Law of Attraction?) which then combines with energy of similar frequencies to create the physical world or our perceived reality. Thus everything around us are not solid things, but forms made up of pure, vibrating energy – all connected to each other.

What does all of this have to do with manifestation and magic? I’m getting there, I promise…and it is very interesting!

Around 1927 Neils Bohr collaborated with quantum physicists and theorist in what is called the Copenhagen Interpretation. The experiment found that sub-atomical particles are not only particles but exist and are made up of both wave forms and/or particles – but they could not exist in both forms simultaneously.

The Copenhagen Interpretation also found that energy is waves and when given attention, or observed, all wave forms collapse and particles, or matter, is formed. The person paying attention to, or observing, the particles determine whether they are (or turn into) waves or particles. If the observer expects to see the energy as waves s/he would, but then if s/he expects to see particles that is what would be observed.

To clarify that: sub-atomical particles take on form as matter based on the thoughts or believes that an observer has about them. Thus our thoughts literally create the material (and non-material) world around us as we turn wave forms of ‘probability’ (or something ‘spiritual’) into particles or bits of matter (‘reality’).

To dig a bit deeper, let’s speak about Quantum Entanglement. Scientists broke some sub-atomic particles in half (or separated them). When they did this they found that the pieces could communicate with each other. This communication happened instantly, no matter how far the ‘pieces’ were removed from each other. On a side note: Cleve Baxter proved this with DNA and found that DNA taken from an individual responded and reacted to the emotions of that person at the exact moment that s/he experienced the emotions, no matter how far they were apart.

This proved that energy does not need to travel. That it is all connected and messages and information can be sent instantly.

To sum up all the jargon: quantum physics has proven that your thoughts create they world around you- and that this can happen instantly. Because all sub-atomical particles exist in a form of ‘probability’ the only thing that influence what it turns into is the observer- you!

Energy work has been part of human cultures nearly since the beginning of man. Shamans, sages and holy-men have energy manipulation in one form or another for centuries- millennia even. Whether you call it manifestation, magic(k) or quantum physics, it seems that they are all the same and they all come to the same conclusion: that you are the creator of your universe.

Energy and Empaths

Michelle J. Howe — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 09:59:07 +0000

The awake Empath out there is quite aware of the word ENERGY.

First, let me talk a little about the word ENERGY!!

It’s not a bad or crazy word. In most circles, energy is a term that tells people how energized they feel or how emotionally excited they feel at any given point and time. We eat food, we exercise and we even relax to help us manage our energy.

In general, people think of energy as something to be preserved, gained or restored. We talk in general terms that we are low in energy to complain when we have no extra to give to others. We then talk of high energy when we attend a fun event or socialize with wonderful people. You will also see us talk about feeling down when we are at a sad event or around people that are not so wonderful.

To most, the word energy is something we must have, get or maintain. Why is this?? Because…. we feel tired when we lack energy – meaning, we have nothing left to function. In summary –

We give ENERGY!

We get ENERGY!

We are ENERGY!

Wow – there is the brilliant idea the metaphysical world has been trying to tell us about. The concept has been rather tough to prove logically since most of us need to see something to believe it – and, we see ourselves as simply physical bodies. But – that physical body runs on nourishment, rest and exercise. That physical body needs a form of fuel that allows it to function – a sort of “electricity” you can say. Energy is the unseen that allows us to function on a daily basis.

As you can see, the word energy is more LOADED for Empaths!

The Empath believes the metaphysical world that says everything is energy! The Empath knows we are energetic beings. Most Empaths feel the energetic body; others can see it. The Empath knows that in every interaction with another, there is an energy exchange beyond shaking hands or saying hello.

The bottom line here is that the Empath is affected by energy seen and unseen. The Empath is an intuitive with higher sense perception. This gift allows Empaths to feel and know things about people on a more intimate level. The gift of knowing and feeling goes hand-in-hand with an Empath’s ability to help others heal.

What do I mean by heal? I am talking about emotional healing – helping that person understand, release or see their life situation from a higher perspective. The person being helped doesn’t truly see what is happening other than they love talking to Susie the Empath. They enjoy the connection because they always walk away with a smile or at least, feeling better.

What happens in this exchange with an Empath?

There’s a clearing or transmutation from a merging of energy.

An Empath also uses the term energy to describe how someone feels to them. The Empath is able to determine via intuitive vibe (knowing or feeling) many things about another person. Most notably we connect with the emotional layer – although, we have the capacity to connect to physical ailments and thought patterns.

The interesting observation is that mostly, people are totally uninterested and unaware in knowing, acknowledging or feeling anything that is inside of them. They often fear negative emotions and refuse to visit any uncomfortable situation in their life. As such, negative emotions remain buried and take up permanent residence within them!

Energetic blocks are caused by emotions that remain buried in the body. These blocks –as they accumulate – lead to physical, mental or emotional issues.

I hope this article helped you gain new understanding.

Healing with the elements Part 2 – Air and Fire

Rian Sprigh — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 08:58:05 +0000

Air & Fire is the second part of our 2 Part series on Healing with the elements. Read part one here. We all know these elements, but do we know how they affect us and how we can use them in our daily lives to restore balance and bring healing to ourselves and our environment? As an Andean Solar Priest, we are taught about the intricate relationship between the elements of nature as well as their influence upon us as humans. In this 2 part series I would love to share a few basic insights based on the teachings of the Sacred Andean Tradition.

AIR – Purifies us

Take a deep breath, let it go; you just experienced life. Something autonomous we barely pay attention to keeps us alive, every minute of every day, even when we sleep – imagine the power it can have if we work with it consciously!

Air is life, just think about the breath of life. It carries within it the vital oxygen that fuels our cells. But when something is exposed to air in the wrong way it will be killed, dried out until it becomes nothing but dust. It can move dynamically, lifting things off the ground, causing instability, breaking trees, shattering windows. It also blows the seeds across the fields, carrying them to a resting place to sprout and grow.

This element governs our mental energy and communication. From a soft whisper to the loudest scream, air is needed to initiate the vibration of the sound as well as to carry it over to someone’s ears. Our thoughts, like the wind, are sometimes soft and quiet, other times gusty and strong, or even spiraling out of control like a tornado. Our thoughts too can create instability in our lives, break and shatter us. Our words too can break and shatter those around us. All from the air we breathe.

He is wise and teaches us the value of silence. He can carry our messages across the earth, across worlds even. When our mind becomes anxious and loud, he can bring us calmness. When our thoughts become impure, he can blow through us, lifting the dirt and debris from our minds. When we have ideas and wishes we want to bring in to the world, he can carry these seeds across the fields to find the right place for it to sprout to life.

Walk around and become aware of the air. There does not need to be any wind for you to work with this element – every breath moves the air. Focus on your breathing and feel the air fill every part of you. Feel it swirl through your mind, purifying your thoughts, calming your anxiety and clearing your mind, returning you to focus. Feel it move through your body, charging every cell with its gift of life, reenergizing you at a cellular level.

Ask it to carry your messages to those you wish to connect to, send the seeds of your thoughts and ideas to their place of germination. Be conscious of his presence all around you and ask him to move through your being, purifying you on all levels. Open your heart to him with love and thank him for the work that has been done.

FIRE – Sanctifies us

What a magical element. He can trap you in a gaze for long periods, stilling your mind and opening your heart. Fire burns within us as passion, ambition, purpose as well as rage, hatred and vengeance, all of which can become very dangerous to us and those around us.

Our sun, life giving source of energy and heat, governing all aspects of vitality and fertility on our planet. He brings the time to sow and the time to reap, the time to be lively and enjoy, as well as the time to become still and rest. Anything it touches changes completely. Burnt to ash, melted into a different form, scarred. Nothing can be the same after the sanctifying touch of fire.

He transmutes energy, consuming the life force of what he touches and sending it back in to the pool of creation – back to pure potential. On a physical level, our body’s internal fire is very fragile – a perfect temperature needs to be maintained for our organism to function properly. One degree warmer or colder and our body becomes ill.

By having our fire element burn too high or too low can make us emotionally, mentally and spiritually ill too. Too much passion or ambition can drive us crazy with ego, burning away all the other things in our lives because we are chasing too much. When it burns down low and we lose our purpose, we spiral downwards very fast, losing the will and energy to live. When the fire burns out, in just an instant, life will cease to exist.

Become still under the sun, close your eyes and turn your face towards him. Feel the energy carried in his heat, his light, entering you, shining in to your core. Allow yourself to be filled with his fire and allow him to sanctify you, transmuting all parts of you that are ready to be set free, to become pure potential again.

Let him bring balance to your fire element, controlling your passion and ambition to be focused without losing touch with the rest of your world. If you are burning low, without drive and passion, ask him to reignite the life within you to move you forward. Like a plant photosynthesizes, absorb the energy of the sun and allow it to make you grow in all aspects of your being. When you feel you have done enough, give thanks to the eternal father, fire and breathe yourself back in to your body.

These descriptions and practices have barely scraped the surface of how the Elements operate in our existence and how we can form relationships with them, accessing and using their energy and teachings in our day to day lives to help us become masters of ourselves, but they bring a starting point of what can be a beautiful relationship with the Elements and yourself. Let Nature teach you, after all, it is what created you… us… everything.
