About

Many of us first became aware of Masaru Emoto’s book The Hidden Messages in Water through The Secret (Extended Edition). I actually bought and read the book. It does make you think about yourself and your thoughts and how our thought can influence those around us.

For various reasons, I have been very conscious of my thought over the last year. It is hard to control them.

Emoto shows how the words associated with the thought also have power. Many years ago it was thought that words had such power. It was believed that words came out of the mouth and actually took form. In our scientific world we have gotten away from that, but I believe there is more truth in the power of words than we know.

Words are thought in symbol form. Thoughts are what create; from the ‘law of attraction’ view point. The thought goes out to the universe to create and bring into your life what you are thinking about. So beware and think good thoughts. Words especially the spoken words are just a stronger version of the thought.

I have always had to be careful about what I say as it will often come true (it seems to mainly apply to the negative words and ideas, Argh!) My husband stacked and moved, loading and unloading about 30 bales of hay one day with no problem. We put the bales out for erosion control on some land we were developing. Several weeks later we took a walk and noted one of the bales had shifted out of position. Paul went to move it back and I said “be careful, don’t hurt your back”. Guess what – he hurt his back! Things like this happened a lot. This happened so often that I was not allowed to refer to the mobile home that we were living in as “tornado bait”. My husband could, but I could not.

I think I will run an experiment on myself. For the next several weeks I will write positive, uplifting words on myself and see what happens. I will note if my thoughts are more positive and if anything extraordinary happens during that time. I’ll let you know what happens.

EFT or Meridian Tapping is just one form of energy therapy. There are so many things out there. I have “run meridians”, flushing them out then smoothing them back down. Then there is Reiki which my husband knows and even my 16 year old son will run energy through his hands for people. There is also TAT that was developed by Tapas Fleming. I have used this on occasion; it is helpful when someone is stuck and not sure where to go from there.

I am constantly finding new things that people are using or have developed. I learned a new one this weekend while listening to an interview with Yvonne Oswald. I will have to try it in my workshop this Saturday. I have always noted how there is a lot of truth in many of our saying we use. Yvonne mentioned one about “keep your chin up”. I know you have heard that expression. She said it is impossible to feel a negative emotion if you point your chin up. Try it yourself right now. Think of something negative, actually feel the emotion. Note where it resides in the body. Now look up. Point your chin to the ceiling. With your chin pointed up, can you still feel the emotion? Isn’t that neat!

There are so many wonders out there and so many more to be discovered. These are exciting times to be living in. I love to be connecting with spiritual and universal power through all these techniques.

In Understanding your life thru color: Metaphysical concepts in color and aura by Nancy Ann, the author tells about being raised by her psychic grandmother. Nancy Ann also had psychic traits and could see auras and like her grandmother could see the fairies that inhabited the area. She was startled to learn that everyone did not see the same things she and her grandmother were able to see. Most of the book is about color; the metaphysical concept of color, what different colors in the aura mean, the use of color therapy and health. I loved reading about the different aura colors and thinking of people who fit the different characteristics. Even though I have never learned to see auras, I was able to decide that my color was magenta due to the description. Reading about magenta also provided explanation as to why I acted the way I did. I was able to see how I had interpreted my parent’s actions through the magenta aura. I had put a twist on their actions that they had never intended (is this what messes up so many childhoods?)! I still get a kick out of reading the book and the descriptions. I was so impressed with the book that I wrote Nancy Ann (who was a very old lady at the time) a thank you letter for writing the book. If you read this book, you may also feel like writing a thank you letter. This book is currently out of print but you can buy it through a reseller.

Here I go again, stifling the flow of life, that energetic flow that brings all things to us. I can actually feel the block. It is in my Solar Plexus and shoulders. It feels like I am straining against something, I’m surprised I am not sore from the work and it is work to resist it. Why do I do this? Do you? Can you feel the flow of life energy?

Life is trying to give me all kinds of good things and I am trying hard to resist. I have been very frustrated. I have been asking for help from my guides and today I listened to an interview with Yvonne Oswald on The Aware Show. That really helped!

Yvonne Oswald led us through some methods to clear the negative emotions clearly and it helped me tremendously. You don’t even have to know the cause of the emotion. All the interviews on The Aware Show have been great. There is only 1 month left of interviews but you can still register for them and hear the remaining interviews for free and if you wish you can buy the whole set for a low price.

I have heard so many connections between rivers, the spirit and energy lately that I wanted to write something about it.

In dream symbology, flowing water symbolizes the spirit moving.

In the Bible Jesus spoke of living water several times and in John 7:39 it says “When he said ‘living water,’ he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him…” (New Living Translation). (I am not going to get into what ‘believing in him’ means that is a whole different theological treatise.)

My Feb. 18, 2010 blog speaks of the energy in all things that ‘flows’ through all things connecting all things.

All of these are talking about the same thing: the energy of life, the life force.

To be in your true spirit, your true self, the energy of life must be flowing through you.

You may think you have the energy of life in you but most of us are only living partial lives. We are stagnate ponds not fresh flowing rivers. As a stagnate pond we have no outlet and little inlet. We have the possibility of drying up or as I like to say “having been dead before you die”.

When the river of life flows through you, your energy level is high and you are free to be all you can be. With all that energy behind you nothing can hold you back and you can manifest abundance.

I have been practicing feeling the flow and I found that I am usually constricted or stagnant. But I am working on it and I know that the more open state will eventually become my normal state. Let the energy come!

I had an interesting client last Sunday. This one was suppose to be an EFT session for back pain. I often have great results using EFT for back pain. We tend to carry a lot of emotional baggage in our backs. EFT is great at getting rid of the emotional baggage. I often start with addressing the pain itself and when movement starts to slow or ceases I will delve deeper to try and uncover emotional reasons for the pain. Often addressing the pain itself is all that is required.

I did get some movement addressing the pain itself. It went from an intensity of 6 to a 4 but then it seemed to stall. I probed for emotional reasons and soon found several possibilities. But addressing each of these were not getting the results I thought we should be seeing. She then told me that the tapping on the side of her hand (the KC point, see my page on Tapping Points) was sending tingles down her body .

I started tapping on various other points and asking if she felt energy with them. I found that the points corresponding to the small intestine and the triple warmer points created sensations. I decided to clear and trace the corresponding meridians.

After finishing her right side, she said the right side was feeling good and all the pain was now on her left side. So I ran the meridians on her left side.
She was feeling pretty good after that. She could do some of her yoga positions that she could not do when she came in. I thought it was interesting that flushing and tracing the meridians cleared the pain.

This Sunday’s book review is on Healing With The Angels
by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.

I have a copy of this book and I often pull it off my bookshelf to consult it. I have Post-it flags marking special pages through out the book.
Some of my flagged pages include:
Prayer to Archangel Michael for Increased Energy – Most of us can use that one.
Another page marks a prayer to the Angels for cravings for unhealthful foods and drinks.
How about a prayer for Increased business Opportunities,
Here is a good one, stress management. Not only do I have that page flagged but I also have some of it highlighted. My highlighted words of wisdom are “All pressure is self imposed” “Stress is of our own choosing” and further down the page is some good advice “…the importance of setting our intentions for the day, first thing in the morning. Decide, ‘What do I want today to be like’ and it will be done”(page 73)

But what I mainly use the book for is the Number Sequences from the Angels in Chapter 12.

One day I was in my kitchen feeling very mad and upset about how badly things were going, dwelling on the negative so to speak. I glanced at the clock on the stove it said 11:11, I looked at the Microwave, and it said 11:11. I decided to get Doreen’s book. The sequence of ones says to “Monitor your thoughts carefully, and be sure to only think about what you want, not what you don’t want. … The 111 is like the bright light of a flashbulb. It means that the universe has just taken a snapshot of your thoughts and is manifesting them into form. Are you pleased with what thoughts the universe has captured?” Boy I changed my thoughts right then, I did not want more of the negative in my life.

I’ll give one more example. Last February, I was going through a dark night of the soul episode. I was firmly rooted in a scarcity mentality and was about to throw in the towel on my own business dream and look for a low paying job. I just could not see how the bills would get paid for the next month. My husband gave me a pep talk and convinced me to work harder on my business. The next morning when I got up I weighed myself and the numbers showed back at me 122.2. I had never seen so many twos in a row; in fact I had not weighed that little before or since. So I decided to look in chapter 12 of this book.

Doreen says that three 2’s in a row means “Your newly planted ideas are beginning to grow into reality. Keep watering and nurturing them, and soon they will push through the soil so you can see evidence of your manifestation. In other words, don’t quit five minutes before the miracle. Your manifestation is soon going to be evident to you, so keep up the good work! Keep holding positive thoughts, keep affirming. And continue visualizing.” Wow, that was the positive reinforcement that I needed. I did have the best year that I have ever had with my business and things are still happening.

Recently I have been seeing fives in sequence. Waking in the middle of the night and seeing 5:55 on the clock, things like that. Doreen indicates that this means a major life change is upon me. This has me a little nervous (review my articles about change).

This is a very interesting and useful book for me and I think it will be for you too.

You have heard the term “bad vibes”.

When we were looking for a house to buy, I would enter the house and check for any bad feelings or vibrations from the house. You may have done that yourself. Have you ever entered a place and felt you did not like it, or met a person who did not sit well with you even before they said anything.

I had a friend that purchased a house where an estranged husband had broken in and chased the woman down the road and killed her. When I visited this friend, I listened close to what the house was emitting and felt it was clean. I did not feel any bad vibrations; I guess they had followed the woman down the street.

We constantly send out vibrations that others pick up on. I see that in my cats all the time. Cats are more sensitive to energies and are better at judging and reacting to them. I have a cat that sends out a vibration of fear and in doing that one of my other cats is always attacking or acting like she will attack. I think in sending this vibration out he is actually attracting what he fears back to him. I wish I could explain to him that his actions are attracting what he doesn’t want. I have another cat that Misty will also try and intimidate but he ignores her and she gives up and leaves him alone.

How much negativity are we attracting into our life by our vibrational frequency we are sending out. This is the law of attraction at work. You get more of what your emotions are sending out. If you don’t like what your vibration is attracting, change it. EFT and meridian tapping are great tools to easily change your vibration.

There are many different Meridian Tapping Techniques but the most well know is EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), which involves tapping on specific acupuncture points. The idea is to cover the entire meridian.

By putting energy into the system you can unblock the system. Think of it as being similar to using a plunger to unblock a drain. Tapping is great at unclogging the emotional system. The clogs may be due to phobias, fears, anger, jealousy,etc, all of which we consider to be “negative” emotions. I have successfully cleared fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of spiders. Many times it only takes a one-hour session to clear others may take a couple.

What I think is interesting is that the tapping does not affect positive emotions. I have developed a reason for this. We come into this world with the fruits of the spirits. The love, peace, hope. These are innate in our being. As soon as we are born, we start tacking on the negative and we insist on carrying that baggage around with us the rest of our lives. Or maybe we just don’t know how to let go of it. This negative baggage can affect us not just mentally or emotionally but also physically. I have found that so much of our emotion is lodged in our body producing pain. I have cleared so many back pains that were emotionally induced. I will tell about some of these tomorrow.

Meridian Tapping provides a great way to release these negative emotions. Give it a try. You may be as impressed with it as I have been.

Just like we have a circulatory system, a lymph system and a nervous system, we also have a meridian system. The meridian is an energy system and parts of it have been photographed. I understand that it is as thin as a fishing line.

After I read Donna Eden’s book Energy Medicine: Balancing Your Body’s Energies for Optimal Health, Joy, and Vitality — Updated and Expanded I started running my meridians every morning. That is when you run your hand over the meridian. Just like in Reiki where the palm is used for healing, your palm is used to smooth out the meridian and get the energy going in the right direction.

Once you learned the meridians, it does not take long to do. A couple of minutes while in the shower does it. What are my benefits? Well, I don’t give anything up easily and that includes my blood. I am not a free bleeder. If I bleed, it is not for very long. So when I give blood it takes at least 20 minutes, and usually 3 people come and go on the table next to me. I have even been stuck and they could not get anything to come out! After I had been running my meridians for a couple of weeks, my husband and I went to give blood. This time I was finished before my husband was, and he has “garden hose” for veins (those are his words). He asked me what happened, did they give up on me and I said, “No, I was through”. The only thing I could attribute that to was that I had been running the meridians, one of which is the heart meridian and another is the circulatory meridian.

It is an interesting exercise and I recommend it. You may not feel any obvious changes right away unless your meridians are really messed up to begin with.
