In the astral, there are certain aspects of masculinity who’ve been taking privilege’s without permission for some time, doing their ‘whateveres’ … I’ve recently discovered that RED is the color of sexual energy … my quilt is a nice bright red. Who knew I had been sleeping under a “welcome mat“.
“Throughout history, Red has been the colorof passion, romance, and sexual energy.”
I pulled that sucker off and charged water with salt, held it up and asked Prime Source Creator to also charge it and assist with its protection qualities and proceeded to sprinkled it around my bed, on my bed on the curtains and everywhere I spend the most time, including all 4 corners of each room and their curtains as well … my sofa and my lounge got a healthy dose … and the living room carpet too …. All the while proclaiming that I AM taking back my Power, that any interference at all was no longer wanted or permitted.”
“Green is the color of the heart chakra, symbolizing love to others, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, transformation, warmth, sharing, sincerity and devotion.”
Thanks be to my current mentor, Ty, @tymajestic, I’m learning about colors, numbers, and psalms and proverbs, even which bible is best for study. I came to a passage in proverbs that really turned me off where a woman was spoken of as ‘property’… and stopped reading. He suggested the king James Version. I will buy it and try again ….
Ty has called the Psalms and Proverbs “The Plan”
In my current situation, which has gone on quite long enough, I am going to switch up the color of my wardrobe, removing colors such as brown, gray, and red, which are the colors lower vibrational entities feel most comfortable with and welcomed by according to my mentor. I will replace these colors with Blues, Greens, brighter Lilac type colors .. anything bright and light.
There are two red walls in my kitchen I need to paint, as well as all four walls of my bedroom which are brown. My intention is to brighten up these areas, to remove the ‘welcome mat’. This could be the perfect winter activity. It’ll be a chore at the very least.
It has been 2 nights since I removed the quilt and applied the salt waters to my most frequented areas of my home. I have not been accosted in any way during the astral, or what many call, dream time. I even slept on my couch for a bit without any negative experience.
Ty has helped me recently by providing Light Readings and advice on colors and my birthdate. Should you be interested, check out his website: http://www.lightwerkerz.com/index.html
His energy is quite bright and cannot be mistaken when he comes in for a ‘looksee’ or a “light hug”. I find his information to be quite eye-opening and am happy to add his knowledge, his teachings, to my meager notebook of my own knowing.
While resting on my couch, eyes closed, a line of type looking much like this one formed before my ‘eyes’. It said, “Thank you for teaching us …”
Let us remember, those we see are not the only ones who hear. Those who see very seldom are able to truly ‘hear’. Let us not discredit either side of life being birthed into a higher arena in these moments … seen and unseen … we are here to help ALL of each other rise into the next dimension … higher and higher my friends.
May it be done graciously.
I dreamed a new song is being sung for the earth. “Someone(s)’ were hacking it into a shorter version. Let us hope the hackers do not succeed, I want to live where the WHOLE song is sung!!!!!
I feel a brightness coming over me, my mind is lifting out of the fog I’ve been immersed in, I feel a separation happening for me, the line is thickening between the new and the old. The old patterns of the living and the new being birthed.
May we begin to hear the whole song, and desire it with our whole heart. It will be bright and glorious, let us keep this vision and song in our heart and mind.
Shed the old.
Do not focus on the autrocities of this world.
Leave them be … to fizzle out in their death throes.
Even when they quake and literally move the earth, be calm and listen to the new song … the new song of rebirth.
You were tired and you want to be free My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me Oh I’ve been loving you a little too long I don’t want to stop now, oh With you my life Has been so wonderful I can’t stop now
You were tired and your love is growing cold My love is growing stronger as our affair affair grows old I’ve been loving you a little too long, long To stop now Oh, oh, oh I’ve been loving you a little bit too long I don’t want to stop now no, no, no
Don’t make me stop now, no baby I’m down on my knees please, don’t make me stop now I love you, I love you I love you with all of my heart And I can’t stop now Please, please don’t make me stop now
Few on the outer circle have figured out Saturn is affiliated with the Serpent. Notice the larger Serpent underneath Saturn’s arm, not to mention what is happening to the child. They also refer to the Bearded God as the Great Architect although He destroys everything He builds. This is why Santa and the Wizard of Oz fit this motif.
For many of us our life is attached to time, the clock is one of the most valuable tools in controlling the mind. The Elite know there becomes no use in counting time unless you plan on it running out. Imagine in immortality and infinity someone actually counting the hours and minutes, talking about useless. Saturn, also known as Cronos, which is where words like Chronological and Chronograph come from, was elected for time because of His rings which signified like an old tree His length of time in the Galaxy. In other words those attempting to learn the age of this Universe looked first to Saturn and the debris in its rings containing residue of lost Planets that entered the Golden Age of Destruction and Chaos now long forgotten although their essence still remains.
It may be of value for you to start seeing these Deities, Gods, Spirits, Daemons, as Beings alien to you because there are many of them that did not originate here on Earth. In ancient times people had gained the knowledge of this and began to emulate the movement of Energies, Stars, and Planets, and thus some became completely alienated from the people. This is also when the Elitist religions of the “Chosen People” began to flourish. Those who wished to be in power during a certain era would make pacts and oaths with the Spirit energies and from there they would become fleshly vessels doing the bidding of these rouges by declaring war on all unbelieving infidels. Even the word “Peace” means something must be split up and only a portion remains. The word Unity also means a unit or part, not the whole thing. We have grown so accustomed to these words we don’t see that every time nations use it as a reason to go to war, we get exactly what we ask for, sending in the Units to tear things to Peaces. The world has now been divided into so many pieces we have all become isolated from one another and thus we think our true enemy is our fellow man and women and silently in the Cabal rules one who is not Human at all.
Even in the Bible there is always a solemn warning by the Prophet before the destruction. This is in fact a Law of the Universe which exist so that all conscious Beings on a Planet may have a choice of whether they want to participate in the collectively planned future of that Planet, attempt to do something to prevent it, or emancipate themselves from it entirely which is always an option. We do hold the master button on our personal Earth life if we want to really exit, we can make it happen, some type of choice always clings to us. Our future is the beautiful fractalised shape of a myriad of choices.
As you see within the word “Planet” there is a “Plan” here which we will just call “Planned Net 10” which means the end of one world and of course many new worlds will begin after. Our status in the ungoverned worlds beyond has much to do with our accolades and milestones that we have crossed in our previous world of origin. This information always remains on our Aura even if we are unaware of it. Think of yourself known throughout the whole Universe as someone who assisted your race in Ascension. As all things are recorded that’s what the record will reflect once the deed is accomplished.
Every action we make will always be contained somewhere, it determines what we are to face next on various levels of action and reaction, it can always be accessed and cannot be erased just balanced. If you were strong did you protect the weak? If you were truly wise did you share your knowledge to your best ability? If you possessed wealth did you distribute the goods committed to your charge?
On the flip side there are those working with the dark force that have kept the masses in this recent segment of time away from the true wisdom. Their doctrine is to Know, Dare, Will, and keep Silent. One should understand their Oath to keep silent, they are all around and they would never reveal their identity. Those who have read works like the Art of War and the Law of Seduction should get a general idea of how they operate in business much less in the Spiritual World. These particular books written by Sun Zhu along with works by Machiavelli such as the Prince and various other shrewd titles are required reading for the upcoming business Elite. In addition they do not just read but put into play the methods being elaborated upon as if the world is only a giant chess board with human pieces.
The way many Beings feel about Earth is they would not give something that looks like dust compared to Antares and Betelgeuse the honor of destroying this whole Galaxy. Everything must evolve in time and for this segment of the Human race that time is long overdue. The lower dimension now awaits occupying the spot we are in now. Since the information vault is now open you can gain a higher level of esoteric intelligence, without being fully Initiated, and thus stuck in some lower dimension slave world ruled by jealous megalomaniacs because you joined the wrong group chanting Namaste, “Name Sat”. Some of the most valuable portions of this information has come from Higher Beings still reaching back to help along the children which we all are, they gave no names, and they demanded no worship save to the Original Creator in which all things will eventually have to face and it is patient Shrouded within itself Majestic and Wise. Many of the forces that have invisibly protected and guided the Human race have long since ascended beyond points where they can any longer interact with the Earth because of contamination and its lack of pure ideas thus there is a heavy need for new Ethereal Planetary workers, not Golden Age materialist.
Think of this also, the Bible is supposed to be a Holy Book and in the end you find a passage that says something like “Whoa to the one who adds or takes away from what is written in this book, We will add to him the plagues of this Book and take away his Name from the Book of Life”. There is obviously a faction that cares nothing of this warning because every time a new addition of the Bible comes out, there are serious changes. People need to start seeing that the ones who are changing it care nothing for the curses because there are none and the Book itself has stories borrowed from everywhere, such was the way of these people.
There were also those who just signed up for the Pantheism since the ladder is ascending and descending, they naturally gravitated towards the negative. The lower dimensional Beings, which also make up the foundation we stand on, had its way with them while their “channel” was open and they spoke whatever message that would bring more energy and treasure to their coffers, they where led by distortion. Man and woman involved themselves with Beings that possessed and incarnated into their Human bodies. Some of these Beings either never had a vocal box or are no longer in possession of one nor a corporeal body to operate on the 3rd physical plane. Numerous they are and they could not be counted as if opening a sealed vault of misshaped things that spawn amongst themselves in what would seem like an instant. Pandora’s Box, tricks of the God Pan Lord of Panic and Pandemic.
We are currently positioned in a place Kabbalistically known as Malkuth which means foundation. This is why the Gods often say the Earth is their footstool. Indeed some of the Spirit energies are so large it is true that Earth could be in fact used as a footstool by them.
Malkuth consists of various life forms with limited senses, thus they are vibrating at a lower frequency in order to form something as solid as a Foundation. To make this easier to understand a rock is actually in motion although it is vibrating so slow it is heavy, hard, and what appears to be unmovable although it is just moving so slow you do not have the time to see its movement.
The more senses we lose we become more like a rock, which means our emotional movement and idea of things lesson as we descend. This is also the secret to why Gargoyles, The Sumerian Stone Cherubs, The Sphinx and various other stone figures that have survived from antiquity are all known to be in fact alive and resonating a certain type of energy. Lower life forms are also on a low vibration like rocks thus they at times inhabit stones.
These figures are kept around for protection against other Entities by Magicians.
Why we are here…..
“We sent men, women, and even the Pure Ones to them to persuade them that there where multiple heavens and they were caught up in the lower dimensions deceived by the Stars, they were, and they would not listen.” They would not forsake the Partners they had subscribed with Source imagining them to be in favor of their growth, in spite, the “Gods” gave them little and blocked the Path of Ascension. Thus there was a silence of man and woman’s great deeds in the heavens and there was little to Ascension, truly the people were not guided trading paper for life. Then the veil began to lift and once again man and woman recognized each other as the only source of harmony, we were all together then man and woman shaping and forming a new world. Truly our work is not in vain and just as the trees, we are numerous and patient, as We provide man and women their substance just as we all must live.
It is safe to say that what is put directly in front of us, especially through popular media, needs our personal investigation and common sense before it can be trusted. The shear energy of crowds envelops all who are in the midst. As hearts begin to sync up all are in the hands of the so-called world leaders and in the past, few have lead in the right direction as they grope about the darkness of Kali Yuga gathering all the resources for their private groups consuming far more than the average citizen and never loosening the yoke. We cannot continue to be looked at as resources rather than Human Beings. Taking the mainstreams word for it seems to always prove unintelligent, they are liars and they will say and do anything to make the masses disbelieve in what we have felt for so long which is that Religion, Politics, Social, and Educational structures are developed to hinder, not free the people less they raise the whole Earth into the higher realms that those that have fallen cannot ascend because it burns away all impurities. And here you also find a reason in this war over consciousness. These groups want to take as many humans with them for the further enslavement. Rise above politics, religions, left or right – it`s always just the other side of the same coin.
We are energetic beings with the capacity to shift energetic fields … to shift this reality. Whenever we hear that we are less than this, summon up a Great Rejection of that illusion.
Our Native elders have taught us that before a person can be healed or heal another, one must be cleansed of any bad feelings, negative thoughts, bad spirits or negative energy – cleansed both physically and spiritually. This helps the healing to come through in a clear way, without being distorted or sidetracked by negative “stuff” in either the healer or the client. The elders say that all ceremonies, tribal or private, must be entered into with a good heart so that we can pray, sing, and walk in a sacred manner, and be helped by the spirits to enter the sacred realm.
Native people throughout the world use herbs to accomplish this. One common ceremony is to burn certain herbs, take the smoke in one’s hands and rub or brush it over the body. Today this is commonly called “smudging.” In Western North America the three plants most frequently used in smudging are sage, cedar, and sweetgrass.
Sage There are many varieties of sage, and most have been used in smudging. The botanical name for “true” sage is Salvia (e.g. Salvia officinalis, Garden Sage, or Salvia apiana, White Sage). It is interesting to note that Salvia comes from the Latin root salvare, which means “to heal.” There are also varieties of sage which are of a species separate from Salvin Artemusia. Included here are sagebrush (e.g. Artemisia californica) and mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). We have seen both Salvia and Artemisia sub-species used in smudging.
Sage is burned in smudging ceremonies to drive out bad spirits, feelings, or influences, and also to keep bad spirits from entering the area where a ceremony takes place. In Plains nations, the floor of the sweat lodge is frequently covered with sage, and participants rub the leaves on their bodies while in the sweat. Sage is also commonly spread on the ground in a lodge or on an altar where the pipe touches the earth. Some nations wrap their pipes in sage when they are placed in pipe-bundles, as sage purifies objects wrapped in it. Sage wreaths are also placed around the head and wrists of Sundancers.
Cedar There is some potential confusion here about the terms used to name plants, mainly because in some areas, junipers are known as “cedar” – as in the case of Desert White Cedar (Juniperus monosperina). This doesn’t mean that J. monosperina wasn’t used as a cleansing herb, though; in the Eastern U.S., its relative, Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginia), was used ceremonially. However, in the smudging ceremonies we have seen or conducted ourselves, Western Red Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) and California Cedar Incense (Libocedrus descurrens) were used … not varieties of juniper.
Cedar is burned while praying either aloud or silently. The prayers rise on the cedar smoke and are carried to the Creator. Cedar is also spread along with sage on the floor of the sweat lodges of some tribes. Cedar branches are brushed in the air to cleanse a home during the House Blessing Ceremony of many Northwest Indian nations. In the Pacific Northwest, the people burn cedar for purification in much the same way as sage – it drives out negative energy; but it also brings in good influences. The spirit of cedar is considered very ancient and wise by Pacific Northwest tribes, and old, downed cedar trees are honored with offerings and prayers.
Sweetgrass One of the most sacred plants for the Plains Indians, sweetgrass is a tall wild grass with a reddish bas and perfume-like, musty odor. It grows mainly on the eastern side of the Rockies in Montana and adjacent Alberta, Canada. It also shows up in some small areas of Wyoming and South Dakota. Its botanical name is Hierochloe odorata. Some common names for it are Seneca grass, holy grass and vanilla grass. We have been told that a variety of vanilla grass grows in North Central California. But, how similar it is to the Plains variety we don’t know.
On the Plains, sweetgrass is usually braided together in bunches as a person’s hair is braided, although friends have said they have seen it simply bunched and wrapped in cloth. Either way, it is usually burned by shaving little bits over hot coals or lighting the end and waving it around, letting the smoke spread through the air. This latter method is how we were taught to burn sweetgrass in the sweat lodge – allowing the purifying smoke to get to all parts of the lodge.
We were taught that it was good to burn sweetgrass after the sage or cedar had driven out the bad influences. Sweetgrass brings in the good spirits and the good influences. As with cedar, burning sweetgrass while praying sends prayers up to the Creator in the smoke. High Hollow Horn says in the The Sacred Pipe “This smoke from the sweetgrass will rise up to you, and will spread throughout the universe. Its fragrance will be known by the wingeds, the four-leggeds, and the two leggeds, for we understand that we are all relatives; may all our brothers be tame and not fear us!” Sweetgrass is also put in pipe bundles and medicine bundles along with sage to purify and protect sacred objects.
Sweetgrass is very rare today, its territory severely cut by development, cattle- grazing, and wheat fields – and tradition Indians in the northern Plains are trying to protect the last remaining fields. The best way for most folks to get sweetgrass is to buy it at Native American retail outlets. This gives support to Indians who can help the fields from being depleted.
Smudging To do a smudging ceremony, burn the clippings of these herbs (dried), rub your hands in the smoke, and then gather the smoke and bring it into your body, or – rub it onto yourself; especially onto any area you feel needs spiritual healing. Keep praying all the while that the unseen powers of the plant will cleanse your spirit. Sometimes, one person will smudge another, or a group of people, using hands – or more often a feather – to lightly brush the smoke over the other person(s). We were taught to look for dark spots in a person’s spirit-body. As one California Indian woman told us, she “sees” a person’s spirit-body glowing around them, and where there are “dark or foggy parts,” she brushes the smoke into these “holes in their spirit-body.” This helps to heal the spirit and to “close up” these holes.
Recently we did a “light” house cleansing for a friend. We use the term “light”, for this is a relatively simple ceremony as opposed to some that are more lengthy and complicated. Our friend had some serious emotional and relationship problems, and he felt they had left a heavy and dark atmosphere.
First, we prayed together to the Creator and to the spirits for help. We then, burned sage, purified ourselves, and took the sage to all the corners, closets, and rooms of the house. We pushed the smoke with our hands to cleanse every bit of space – lingering over dark or cold spots that “felt” uncomfortable.
We used sage first in order to drive out the bad influences. Then we purified ourselves with cedar and, then repeated the cleansing process throughout the house with that. Then sweetgrass was used in the same manner to bring in good influences. All the time we prayed for help in this cleansing. Finally, we took a candle over the whole house and pushed its light into every corner. The People of the Pacific Northwest Coast taught this “lighting-up” of a house to us. We’ve been doing this type of house cleansing for ten years, and it never fails to “clear the air.”
In any case, smudging is a ceremony that must be done with care. We are entering into a relationship with the unseen powers of these plants, and with the spirits of the ceremony. As with all good relationships, there has to be respect and honor if the relationship is to work.
Shamanic smudging—or just smudging—is an age-old tribal tradition which has been used for centuries to create harmony and peace. There are many different shamanic smudging ceremonies, and different tribes use a variety of herbs for smudging.
To define it more clearly, shamanic smudging is the burning of herbs or incense for cleansing, purification, protection of physical and spiritual bodies, banishment of negative energies and creation of sacred space. You can use smudge sticks (herbs that are tied into a bundle for easier handling), braided herbs and botanicals (like sweetgrass) or loose herbs (burned on charcoal or mugwort, or in a firepit). Shamanic smudging releases the energy and fragrance of the herbs and botanicals so they can heal, cleanse and purify.
In many traditions, shamanic smudging involves a four directions ceremony or prayer, which sends specific kinds of smoke or prayers into the four directions. Different tribes have different smudging prayers that “program” the smoke to do a specific action, such as cleansing or aiding in divination.
In general, shamanic smudging can be used in daily life for practical purposes—to restore physical, mental and emotional balance; to shield against negative energies; to cleanse yourself, use your tools and clear your space; and to restore you sacred space.
COMMON HERBS USED IN SMUDGING Although different tribes and traditions use different herbs for shamanic smudging, some of the most popular herbs include desert sage, white broadleaf sage, juniper, pinon (sometimes in resin form), sweetgrass, copal (in resin form), mugwort, lavender and sacred tobacco. Here are some general uses for the different herbs often used for smudging:
– PINON RESIN Primarily fire element though can also be used as for four-element general purposes. Has a pleasant and meditative fragrance. Is cleansing, strengthening, warming, and used by Native American cultures for its spiritual and healing properties. Produces a thick stream of smoke, and is excellent for refreshing the senses and reviving a tired soul.
– COPAL GOLD RESIN Primarily fire and water elements though can also be used as for four-element general purposes. When burned, the scent is sweet, resinous, slightly woody, mildly earthy and spicy. Was a holy incense used by the peoples of Mesoamerica. Traditionally used as incense in divinatory and cleansing ceremonies. The resin contains aromatic chemicals called terpenes, which make it volatile and flammable. Used by Mayan shamans prior to ingesting mushrooms.
– MYRRH RESIN Primarily earth element though can also be used as for four-element general purposes. Produces a lot of smoke when burned, very earthy, piney scent. Gathered from an almost leafless Middle Eastern shrub called the Commiphora Molmol. It was used by the ancient Egyptians in rituals of Healing and Passing. It is one of the ingredients used by the Egyptians to embalm bodies. Useful for spirituality, meditation, happiness, release, transformation, strength, confidence and stability.
– FRANKINCENSE RESIN Primarily fire element though can also be used for a four-element general purpose. Is the resin of an African tree and produces a rich, dense smoke when burned. Used extensively in meditation and healing. In numerous religious traditions, frankincense’s spiritual scent was believed to confer divine blessing. Pliny the Elder mentioned it as an antidote to hemlock poisoning.
– DESERT SAGE Primarily air element though can also be used as for four-element general purposes. Has a somewhat sharp, light and refreshing scent. One of the most sacred herbs among Native Americans. Used to purify the mind, body and spirit before prayer, meditation, ritual or ceremony. Also used to purify sacred items such as pipes, magical tools, tarot decks and eagle feathers. Can be used for area, house and personal cleansing. Some people carry a small amount of Sage in a pocket or medicine pouch to insure personal and spiritual safety.
– JUNIPER Primarily fire element though can also be used as for four-element general purposes. Has a sharp, piney scent. Excellent to stimulate and revive when tired in body, mind or Spirit. Used in ancient times for ritual purification of temples. Smoke believed to aid clairvoyance. Also useful for purification and to stimulate contact with other worlds. Burned during the Plague to resist disease.
– LAVENDER Primarily air element . Has a light, aromatic and refreshing scent. Useful for attracting peace, happiness and restful sleep. Also reduces depression, grief and sorrow. Aids in meditation and divination, and often said to aid in manifestation. Known as Elf Leaf, Nard, Nardus, Spike and Lavender. Traditionally associated with fairies and elves.
– WHITE BROADLEAF SAGE Primarily air element though can also be used as for four-element general purposes. This is a broad leaf sage is highly prized for its strong aromatic properties (strongest of the different types of sage). Considered the king if all sages. Excellent for meditation, divination, smudging, cleansing and purification.
– YERBA SANTA LEAVES Traditionally used for enhancing psychic abilities, magical protection, healing and spiritual strength. Excellent for meditation and divination. Said to be ruled by the moon. One Native American tribe rolled the leaves into balls, dried it in the sun and chewed it for a natural mouthwash.
– HIBISCUS FLOWERS Primarily fire and water elements. Produces a sharp, invigorating scent that lasts for a long time after burning. Often used in divination and psychic communication. Excellent for rejuvenating the senses and restoring life force.
– ROSE FLOWERS AND PETALS Primarily water element. Produces a heavy, warm, aromatic scent with just a hint of sharpness – scent lasts a long time after burning. Excellent for meditation, divination, increasing psychic abilities, contacting powers and beings in other dimensions and psychic communication. Also traditionally associated with attracting love, conferring peace, stimulating sexual appetites and enhancing beauty.
– SWEETGRASS Primarily air element. As its name suggests, sweetgrass produces a sweet and light fragrance that does not last for long. Excellent for cleansing sacred space. Sweetgrass is a rare grass which is found growing wild in very few places. Traditionally, sweetgrass is believed to invite the good spirits.
You can burn these herbs singly or in combination with each other. One good combination that covers all four magical elements of air, fire, water and earth is pine resin and sage (either desert sage or white broadleaf sage). This combination is appropriate for general use, cleansing, ceremony and ritual.
WHEN TO SMUDGE YOURSELF Smudging yourself on a daily basis can be very helpful in keeping yourself balanced and maintaining a peaceful state of being. However, you should definitely use shamanic smudging techniques when you’ve been around people who are ill, depressed, fearful, angry or generally emotionally unbalanced; before meditating to create a calm state of being; when you’re feeling blue or depressed; or when you’ve been under a lot of stress.
Smudging yourself is easy. If you’re using a smudge stick, light the smudge stick on a candle flame. Hold the stick in the flame until there is a lot of smoke and the stick is burning well (that’s why a candle is better than a match—it can take a while to get the stick really smoking). Using a feather (or feather fan) or your hand, gently fan the smoke onto your body, starting at the top of the body and moving downward. Get the back of your body as best you can (it’s often easier to use a smudge pot and loose herbs for this). When you’re done, inhale a little of the smoke (just a little!) to purify your insides.
If you’re using a smudge pot or Fire-bowl and loose herbs, light the herbs (using self-lighting charcoal—not the barbecue kind!) until it is smoking well. Then, put the Fire-bowl on the ground and stand over it with your legs spread and feet on either side. Weave back and forth in the smoke until you have been thoroughly cleansed. Clothing is optional for this approach, and smudging in the nude is recommended for a more thorough cleansing. Again, when you’re done, inhale a little of the smoke to purify your insides. People often feel more relaxed, lighter and brighter after smudging.
If you’re going to use the smudge smoke during meditation, use a charcoal burner or Firebowl, light the herbs and enjoy the scent and smoke as you meditate. Meditating with these herbs often produces a deeper and longer-lasting state of relaxation and contemplation.
Native Americans used herbs to purify the spirit and bring balance to people who are unhealthy in spirit, mind, or body. Everything that happens within your home leaves a trace. The morning after party, the tired- ..but-happy revelry from the end of the evening is still in the air; Focusing your true intention to purify your space with time-honored method can return a dwelling to its rightful place as your sanctuary. One such cleansing method is known as smudging. Smudging originated as a Native American custom, and modern practice can reinvigorate your living space.
The vital action of smudging is lighting aromatic bundle of herbs and allowing it to burn away the negative energy that has been collected.
You can celebrate a new phase in life by conducting a smudging ceremony, or improve someone’s day by smudging the space around a friend. Offices and work spaces can benefit from smudging as well, allowing clarity of thought and improved productivity. The essential object for smudging is the herb bundle. It can be purchased or made by hand.
Using a match or candle, put the flame to the smudge stick. Then blow or wave it out, allowing the stick to smolder and the aromatic smoke to fill the room.
If you don’t have a smudge stick, you can also place loose herbs directly onto burning wood in an indoor fireplace or into a fireproof container with some charcoal. As the herbs begin to burn, the honored method is to use a feather to move the smoke around the person or place you are smudging. You may also use your hands. As you feel the space fill with the herbal scent, take time to consider the parts of your life that need cleansing. Imagine the smoke lifting away all the negative thoughts and emotions around you.
Tradition teaches that each smudging herb is used for a different purpose. So an important aspect of the ritual is finding the right herb for the moment. * Sage is the most prominent herb and is used to purify and protect one’s living area by removing negative energy.
* Sweetgrass is often burnt after smudging sage to welcome in the positive influences. * Lavender restores balance and creates a peaceful atmosphere. It also attracts love. * Rosemary is effective for gaining clarity about perplexing problems. * Mugwort is celebrated for stimulating psychic awareness and powerful dreams. * Bay leaf is used to protect against colds and flu. * Cedar is burnt upon moving into a new home. It works as a purifier and as a way to attract positive energy. The act of cleansing your space can help you to truly put the past behind you. As the herbal aromas gently enter a room, clearing out accumulated spiritual clutter, you’ll be free you to enjoy your abode as the place of it was meant to be.
Is it possible to acknowledge that you can create the darkness in your life?
You can create the limitations, the blockages, the boundaries, and the negative experiences in your life? All because of wounds, or belief in separation, not acknowledging your truth and your essence fully.
This is something that can be interesting and both challenging to acknowledge.
Firstly, you create the light that you are and experience in your reality. You create the darkness that is present within you, and within your reality, both these energies stem from the Creator through you.
The energy as it extends from the Creator is the same, it is one energy.
We might say to make it easier to understand that the energy extending from the Creator is golden. You receive this golden energy, then you choose both consciously and subconsciously what to create. To create light, maybe light is pink, to create darkness, maybe darkness is grey, and you can acknowledge that you have used the same energy, the golden energy to create both pink and grey, light and darkness.
This means that everything stems from the Creator, however not everything is the divine will nor the divine plan of the Creator.
Each being on the Earth has free will, they use the Creator’s energy like a fuel to manifest and create an experience on the Earth. This is a great responsibility, when you acknowledge this it allows you to truly take responsibility for your reality, for your ascension process, for your actions and reactions, realising you simply receive the energy of the Creator and then it is up to you what you create with this energy.
You may say that you do not wish to create darkness only light, however there are misguided habits, misunderstandings, wounds, illusions that all create what you might label as the darkness.
Each experience, each energy, each creation of the darkness was born with the light of the Creator through your being and through others as well. Does this mean that these energies need to be discarded or ignored? In fact, it means that they require more of your attention, more of your acceptance and exploration.
When you accept the darkness within it soon transforms into the light or you might say back into the fuel of the Creator. In some ways it has been masquerading as something else to alert you to the way that you operate, mentally, emotionally, physically even spiritually.
It is alerting you to understand the way you operate, your focus, your relationship with yourself and the Creator.
Often souls wish to focus only upon the light choosing to ignore the darkness. This can create even more of a sense of Illusion because you are ignoring and not fully accepting yourself, it creates an imbalance within your being.
While it is joyous to remain in the light, to accept the light, to experience the flow of the Creator’s light through you and to create from this, one can never truly ignore the darkness, the limitations, the boundaries, the blockages and so forth.
These you might say lower your vibration but in fact they hinder your view of the light.
When you focus solely upon the light you also become un-grounded and unbalanced, even losing grip on reality.
You are designed to live in two realities, the physical and the energetic, even the light and the darkness, accepting both simultaneously, but of course working through the darkness, recognising how the darkness teaches and guides you forth.
As well as acknowledging how the light represents all that you are and inspires you to expand your awareness, remembering that you are a limitless being, the infinite nature and essence of the Creator. There is so much to explore within the light, as you connect with the light, it expands your awareness and allows you to connect with the natural essence of your being.
Both the light and the darkness have specific roles within your reality.
Is there actually darkness within the reality of the Earth or is it simply creations from separation, illusion, misunderstanding, wounds that simply need to be healed and recognised?
As a being, as a light being are you fearful of the darkness?
Are you willing to bring your light to the darkness?
Are you willing to accept the darkness, therefore holding space for the darkness to heal whether it was your creation or another’s creation?
This is what is being asked of you, both within your being and your reality on the Earth. To hold space for the light and the darkness to integrate, for healing to take place or for energies to be resolved within the darkness and for the light. To bring inspiration and expansion, the energy of infinity, in order to move beyond boundaries, blockages and recognise what is possible.
When you are balanced, when you are willing to accept the darkness and the light within you and upon the Earth, you are holding space for both to unite, to resolve, to synthesise, for a greater outcome and possibility to manifest, this is what is required now.
To send light to the darkness is somewhat like ignoring the darkness. To be fearful of the darkness is like ignoring the light. Both require to be accepted, acknowledged, to hold space for both to be experienced, for your being to process what is needed for the Earth and for yourself.
When a woman told me the goal was to free (or something) the 12 root tribes, I thought she was talking about natives, indigenous.
So naïve am I …
I’ve found reading material recently that explains it as something other than that. Knowledge … is key to understanding.
144 … 144,000 … learning …
Currently reading “Soul Empowerment”.
I was told I will know what I need to know when I need to know it. I’ve ALWAYS held this belief, always believed in the BRILLIANCE of Creator … so wise, keeping minds empty of certain knowledge before the time comes they need to learn it and know it. In this way, said knowledge cannot be used against us, meaning, what we do not understand (or even know) cannot be pulled from us and used as sabotage … I am forever impressed at the infinite wisdom of this fact.
When my first teacher fell away, these reading materials came to me, offering answers to the questions I had.
