The assemblage point is an energetic structure within the Luminous Energy Field.
The assemblage point is an energetic structure within the Luminous Energy Field (LEF) where we decode all our supersensory experiences, from déjà vu to precognition, to bliss and love, to having a sense of foreboding about something or someone, and to knowing that the telephone is going to ring before it actually does.
It’s the luminous equivalent of our physical brain (and about the same size, but shaped like an orb), and it is here that we take in the information our ordinary senses can’t grasp.
So while our hand can detect the touch of our beloved but can’t feel the love conveyed by that touch, the assemblage point can interpret the meaning of this contact, building an internal picture of our psychological and spiritual reality.
The assemblage point processes supersensory information in the same manner our brain processes visual information: The eyes receive photons of light reflecting off the ocean and the sand, these electrical impulses travel through the optic nerve to the visual cortex in the brain, which creates an image inside our heads. We call this image “the beach,” and project it onto the outside landscape.
Our assemblage point decodes data received through our chakras and “reads” the world of energy and emotions around us. We call this image “reality” and project it onto our surroundings and the people we come in contact with.
Just as all seeing happens inside our brain, the Laika shamans understand that all reality only actually exists inside ourselves.
Our assemblage point is attuned to interpret certain valences and frequencies, which are determined mostly by our life experiences. If we don’t have those valences programmed into our assemblage point, we won’t perceive them.
For example, if we dwell in a city and travel to the jungle, even though our ears have the same structural mechanisms of the rain-forest native, we simply wouldn’t have the sensitivity to hear certain birds that alert the native to the presence of snakes.
Those of us who live in cities become so accustomed to hearing loud sounds within ten feet of us that we’re not used to perceiving sounds from far away — it’s almost as if we’re auditorily nearsighted.
Neuroscientists believe that these pattern-recognition abilities are wired into pathways inside the brain. But the brain is simply the hardware; the software that drives it is programmed into the assemblage point inside the LEF.
The exact location of the assemblage point differs for everyone and it typically remains in the same location throughout a person’s life — a place we call the “access” position, because this is where you access your ordinary reality.
But you can learn to move it and alter your perceptions, and therefore change your experience of reality.
If we lived in perfect communion with nature, it would sit on the eighth chakra, six to eight inches above our heads, in a position we call “bridge.”
When our assemblage point is in bridge, all of our instincts are recalibrated to their original settings.
From bridge, we can move our assemblage point to the second chakra to perceive with the senses of jaguar and actually reset the instincts of that chakra — for example, we’ll no longer get involved with the wrong people just because we’re attracted to those who are similarly wounded.
Because we don’t live in nature, and we also need to be functional in a very dysfunctional world, our assemblage point ends up being skewed to one direction.
In the West, the assemblage point tends to be located to one side of the head because we’re very rational, thought-driven people.
We’re attracted to others who have an assemblage point that is similar in valence and position because we feel in sync with them — and typically perceive as strange or foolish someone with a very different assemblage point.
We may even think that someone is stupid because they can’t perceive what we can, or loony because they sense what we don’t.
What we don’t realize is that our perceptions are limited by our beliefs and life experience.

Strong evidence was found to link aromatherapy to many ancient traditions.
The art of aromatherapy had been practiced for thousands of years.
Strong evidence was found to link aromatherapy to many ancient traditions.
Though aromatic oils have been used to treat and cure various ailments and conditions for centuries, the formal study on their properties only started in 1928.
In its simplest form, aromatherapy is the use of essential plant oils for therapeutic purposes.
They are normally employed to relieve a person from stress and a variety of stress-related conditions.
They are also used for promoting an individual’s general well being and in invigorating the body and the psyche.
Aromatherapy works by inducing the olfactory nerve cells with aromatic oils, which then carries the message to the limbic system in the brain.
The limbic system is the part of the brain that is responsible for controlling memory and emotions.
Aromatherapy is concerned in the workings of both the physical and emotional aspects of the person under treatment.
Physically, aromatherapy helps in relieving specific conditions through the stimulation of the nervous, immune and circulatory system.
In emotions however, they may evoke pleasant memories and uplifted moods.
Although the medical community is not in agreement over whether aromatherapy in itself is instrumental to healing various medical conditions, the idea of recovery through aromatherapy is widely accepted.
Essential oils are derived from the distillation of the elements of a plant like the leaves, roots, flowers, stems and bark.
They hold the true essence of the plants from which they originally came in high concentration.
Though termed as oil, essential oils normally do not have the real properties of oil.
Some essential oils are yellow like that of the lemongrass and orange and many are clear.
These oils are used in a variety of methods: through inhalation, by adding them in the bathwater and by the application of the diluted oil on the body.
The use of oil in aromatherapy is only restricted to those with unadulterated qualities.
The purest of the essential oils alone have the therapeutic values.
The following is a list of the most common essential oils used in aromatherapy.
Some of which are used as carrier oils (also known as vegetable oils or base oils):
– Almond, Sweet
– Apricot Kernel
– Avocado
– Borage
– Cocoa Butter
– Evening Primrose
– Grapeseed
– Hazelnut
– Jojoba
– Kukui
– Macadamia Nut
– Olive
– Peanut
– Pecan
– Rose Hip
– Sesame
– Shea Butter
– Sunflower
Below are listed essential oils that are not advisable to use in aromatherapy, especially if not supervised by a professional aromatherapy practitioner.
– Ajowan
– Almond, Bitter
– Arnica
– Birch, Sweet
– Boldo Leaf
– Broom, Spanish
– Calamus
– Camphor
– Deer Tongue
– Garlic
– Horseradish
– Jaborandi
– Melilotus
– Mugwort
– Mustard
– Onion
– Pennyroyal
– Rue
– Sassafras
– Thuja
– Wintergreen
– Wormseed
– Wormwood
Aromatherapists put into practice the workings of aromatherapy in a spectrum of work environments including:
– private practice
– mobile visiting practice
– natural health clinics
– beauty therapy clinics
– health clubs
– hospitals
– hospices and
– nursing homes.
In spite of the lack of formal research on aromatherapy, therapists and European physicians are often prescribing certain aromatic oils for a range of complaints including colds and flu, insomnia, sinusitis, migraines, digestive
problems and muscle pains.
It must be understood though that aromatic oils must never be taken orally and should be first tested to determine the degree of skin’s sensitivity to some oils.

The primary purpose of aromatherapy is to produce an odour that induces an effect on the human body.
Aromatherapy provides a natural way to deal with insomnia, relaxation, anxiety, and stress.
The primary purpose of aromatherapy is to produce an odour that induces an effect on the human body.
The smells from aromatherapy work on a subconscious level.
Smell can affect the way that human beings react. Different smells can stimulate the brain and evoke feelings that are then associated with that smell.
Aromatherapy is used for mental and emotional well being.
The oils of aromatherapy are often used to stimulate or relax the person as needed.
Some aromatherapy oils are chamomile, patchouli, sandalwood, neroli, ylang-ylang, and marjoram.
There are a few different ways that you can enjoy the smells of aromatherapy such as putting a few drops in your bath water.
The oils can be used for massage, or you can even sprinkle a few drops on your pillow at night.
Chamomile is a bit more versatile as you can drink it in the form of tea or use the oils in something similar to an incense burner.
If you look into aromatherapy for the sole purpose of insomnia there will be actual recipes that you can make yourself that act very well.
One in particular is a mixture of two drops of jasmine and four drops of lavender.
This can be used in a diffuser or you can place drops of it surrounding your bed.
Just make sure that it is in a place where you will be able to smell it best.
This mixture can also be used for a massage.
Aromatherapy candles are also available in the various scents that are mentioned above. They are a great added touch but do not release enough fumes to assist in combating something as tough as insomnia.
In conjunction with aromatherapy, meditation and yoga work excellently as a way to free the negative energy from your body that is causing you to lose precious sleep.
Besides helping with just insomnia it will lead you into a more healthy life in general.
The most popular aromatherapy oil used today is lavender.
Lavender is very versatile and can even be grown in your own backyard.
It also works great for digestive related issues and as a very effective antidepressant.
Further, it calms nerves, relaxes the body, and promotes sleep.
Sometimes the everyday stresses of life can build up and a combination of aromatherapy oils can be literally magical in creating a harmonic balance, and a sense of well being and relaxation, and promoting sleep.

Going on a trip is usually thought of as a wonderful experience, one that you and your family may have planned and looked forward to for some time.
To have the most fun, to get the most out of the experience, it’s important that you and your loved ones have the means to overcome those little ailments and discomforts that can make the experience range from mildly unpleasant to downright unbearable.
How can we include a little ‘trip insurance’ to our already overstuffed luggage?
Aromatherapy has an answer with some readily available essential oils.
Motion sickness, bug bites, digestive difficulties, and general travel weariness, to name a few, are common discomforts experienced when venturing away from home.
A small collection of inexpensive essential oils can provide great relief from these amusement-threatening ailments.
Treatment with these oils is simple, ranging from inhaling a little oil from a tissue, to adding to a bath, to drinking a drop with a warm cup of water.
And, thankfully, relief often comes quickly because of the oils’ powerful properties and compatibility with our own
bodies.
We’ll begin with ‘getting there’, any trip starts with traveling.
By car, boat, plane, or otherwise, motion sickness commonly affects many people, particularly children.
This can easily make the ‘traveling’ portion of your experience absolutely no fun.
Enter peppermint essential oil.
Peppermint has long been used to calm uneasy stomachs, and is easily used.
One drop (it is strong!) in a cup of warm water, sweetened if you like, can be
sipped before and during the voyage.
For the fussy ones, a drop can be added to a small amount of honey and taken from a spoon for the same effect.
Ginger essential oil is also known for its calming of upset stomachs, a little inhaled from a tissue or diluted in a carrier oil and rubbed on the abdomen can bring relief.
One can also add a drop of ginger to warm water and drink it as a strong tea, this may be effective for some food-related stomach issues as well, particularly when combined with the abdomen massage method.
Peppermint can also be uplifting to the weary driver or passenger.
A drop or two placed on tissues in the car or near your seat will release the aroma into your surroundings.
Be careful with this oil however, as getting it on sensitive areas of the skin (directly under the nose, and certainly near the eyes) can cause irritation.
Tissues with the oil on it should not touch these areas directly.
Lavender has been called ‘a medicine chest in a bottle’ due to its wide range of effects.
The aroma of lavender is uplifting and relaxing, useful for stress in congested airports or crowded highways. Breathing this very safe essential oil is effective for adults and children alike, inhaling drops from a tissue directly, or from one’s placed in your surroundings can help you and your companions be at ease.
Lavender essential oil is also an effective wound-healer because of its anti- inflammatory, mild antibacterial, and skin-regenerative actions.
It can be used directly in case of burns, mixed 50:50 with tea tree and put on band aids to prevent infection, or blended with thyme linalol and eucalyptus (2:4:2) and added to a bowl of water for an effective disinfectant wash.
Lavender is very useful for treating bites and stings, just place a little ‘neat’ (undiluted) on the affected area.
This versatile oil is also a component of an insect repellent blend composed of equal parts of lavender, thyme linalol, and peppermint, and a double-dose of lemongrass essential oil.
A drop or more placed on tissue or cloth about your room can keep the insects out of your space; 3 drops of this blend per teaspoon of carrier oil can be regularly applied to the skin, or you may mix a similar amount into any lotion you may have.
Lavender can also be used in combination with geranium, chamomile, peppermint and eucalyptus oils in relieving the effects of jet lag.
Getting out of this weary state as quickly as possible makes any trip more enjoyable.
This requires getting yourself and companions in-synch with local time, having good rest at night and perhaps a gentle lift in the mornings and throughout the day.
To get yourself into the swing of local time, relax and be ready for bed with equal parts of lavender and geranium essential oils, chamomile may also be used in place of the geranium, and works especially well for soothing children
(if they are irritable for ANY reason).
Add a few drops to a bath or use in a massage oil.
For a morning eye-opener, do the same using equal amounts of peppermint and eucalyptus.
You will find these useful at other times when you need a little clarity and lightening-up.
Lemon also has some wonderfully diverse uses.
It is effective as an antibacterial, but not so strong as to be an irritant.
Adding several drops per quart to your drinking water will help purify it, and the water can act as a disinfectant to be used in washing your fruits and vegetables.
The need for this certainly depends on your location, but it is not a bad idea whenever bacterial contamination may be a possibility.
Further, regularly drinking water with added lemon oil can gently stimulate the lymphatic and digestive systems,
helping alleviate that sluggish feeling that often accompanies extended plane and car travel.
Eucalyptus, the narrow leaf variety is a favorite – has a great range of uses as well.
It can cool the body when too hot, and protect it when too cold.
It is found in almost all formulas used to relieve congestion, can support circulation, and bring lightness to a travel-weary head.
Eucalyptus oil can be used like peppermint to uplift and invigorate during long intervals in an automobile.
It can be added to a cool bath or used on a cold compress in cases of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (accompanied by, of course, copious amounts of water and electrolytes!), and used in a similar manner to reduce fever.
Eucalyptus oil may be blended with geranium as a massage oil (3 drops eucalyptus and 2 drops geranium per teaspoon of carrier oil) to relieve heat cramps.
For congestion relief, to a drawn bath, add 1 drop eucalyptus, 3 drops lemon, 2 drops thyme, and 2 drops tea tree, soak and breathe deeply, or simply add a few drops to a steaming bowl of water and inhale.
These are just a few examples of ways to make your travel experiences more enjoyable with aromatherapy.
With a little effort, you can expand your knowledge of these oils, discover further uses, and find other oils that work well for your particular needs.
These essential oils are readily available, and fairly inexpensive, though caution should be used when buying oils, as some can be adulterated, and others are mass-produced with techniques that may limit their therapeutic benefits.
The more pleasant and ‘well rounded’ an oil’s aroma, generally the higher the quality.
Your nose will know!
And as with any aromatherapy application, start slowly, essential oils deserve a healthy respect.
My “Go To Person” for all my Oils is Bianca with doTERRA. I love their oils.
I remember when I first discovered aromatherapy many years ago.
I was fascinated by essential oils and excited to try using them.
Looking back, I realise I should have done a bit more research before diving into aromatherapy.
I offer you the advice I wish I’d had when I was an aromatherapy novice:
1. Buy One or Two Aromatherapy Books
Choose just one or two books to start your aromatherapy library.
Select books that are general resources, which will give you some basic information and
help you discover the areas in which you have the most interest.
2. Join Aromatherapy Discussion Forums
Facebook Groups, Instagram pages and other forums are great resources for aromatherapy newbies.
Read past discussions, ask questions, and learn from others.
3. Choose Five or Ten Essential Oils to Start
Though you may be tempted to buy more, try to begin with just five or ten different essential oils.
Essential oils can be quite expensive, so you may want to experiment with a few at first and then invest in more if you decide to pursue aromatherapy further.
4. Make Sure to Buy 100%, Pure, Unadulterated Essential Oils
When you buy essential oils, choose a well-known and reputable manufacturer.
Synthetic, fragrance, and perfume oils are not essential oils; they contain man-made chemicals and have no aromatherapeutic value.
5. Buy at Least One Carrier Oil
For nearly all topical aromatherapy applications, you will need to dilute essential oils into a carrier oil.
Good all-purpose carrier oils include sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, and grapeseed oil.
Buy cosmetic grade carrier oils, and use only a few drops of essential oil(s) per ounce of carrier oil.
6. Store Your Oils Properly
Essential oils should be stored only in dark glass containers.
Since essential oils are volatile, keep the lids tightly closed.
Essential oils and carrier oils should be stored away from heat and light.
Carrier oils will go rancid eventually, so it’s best to buy smaller quantities.
7. Learn How to Do a Patch Test
Essential oils can cause adverse reactions, due to allergy or due to sensitisation over time.
A patch test helps to determine whether you might react to a particular essential oil.
Learn how to perform a skin patch test on yourself with each new oil you want to use topically.
8. Don’t Use Aromatherapy with Children or Pets
Until you are thoroughly familiar with essential oils and associated safety issues, don’t use them on children or pets, or while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Cats, in particular, may be adversely affected by essential oils.
Make sure essential oils are kept out of reach of children.
9. Don’t Ingest Essential Oils
Though you will read conflicting information about taking essential oils internally, you should avoid doing this. Some essential oils that are fairly safe to use topically may be quite toxic if taken internally.
In addition, some essential oils may interact with prescription or over the counter drugs.
As you experiment with and learn more about aromatherapy, you will become more confident using essential oils.
There is so much to explore, so be safe and have fun!
Remember, these are beginner suggestions.

Some people can see auras instantly and others have to work at it.
Seeing the aura is a matter of taking your eyes slightly out of focus.
If you’ve ever been able to see those holographic picture-in-a-picture things then you shouldn’t have any trouble seeing auras as you do exactly the same thing with your eyes.
The first time I was at a seminar and this topic came up I had no luck whatsoever with seeing the auras of the other folks there.
That night I went over to the bookstore and grabbed a bunch of the holograph picture books and sat there until I could relax my eyes and see them.
The next day when I went back for the rest of the seminar I didn’t have any trouble seeing the auras of the other attendees.
Have your training partner stand in front of a light-colored wall in a dimly lit room.
Have your partner hold one finger in front of their face, about 6 inches out from their chin.
Now focus your eyes on their finger, not their face.
Have them remove their fingers but keep looking at the same spot.
You’ll have to relax your eyes a bit to do this.
Now, using that same relaxed vision, if you look at them you should be able to see what looks like a little line that runs all around them a couple of centimetres out from their body.
The next layer out is even more faint and may have colors associated with it. The different meanings of the colors vary widely depending on who you’re talking to.
My advice in this area is to open up your awareness and see for yourself which colors seem to be associated most often with which types of people and their behaviors. Play with this a bit.
Does their aura change when they think happy thoughts? Sad thoughts? Angry thoughts? Some people can see auras instantly and others have to work at it.
Don’t be too put out if it takes a while.
As you work with this you’ll gradually become aware of even more subtle layers of energy that surround people.
You may also find that you can actually feel another person’s chakras and even discern which is their dominant chakra, which tells you instantly how that person is likely to react to any given stimuli.
So I hope this helps you on your journey of seeing and then feeling auras.
It is a wonderful way to become aware or your own and others spiritual development.
Below is a description of the meanings different colours hold.
When reading auras be sure to always trust your intuition.
Black:
This is a confusing color.
There is nothing wrong with black in one’s aura.
Black generally means one is shielding oneself from outside energies.
This can also mean being unbalanced; one is hiding something or keeping secrets.
A black ring usually indicates some form of abuse, adults who have not dealt with early abuse will carry this black ring till they are healed. Blue:
This comes in different shades.
Gifted people have shades of blue in their aura.
Intuitive people will show pale blue coloration within the purple bursting out like rays of sunshine, emanating from the heart outwards.
A deeper blue can indicate loneliness.
A very deep blue shows devotion, honesty and good judgment whereas muddier shades of blue indicates a domineering person or a tendency towards depression.
Brown:
This color can indicate growth in a person.
Seen around the head and with other colors emanating in combination, it indicates a person who is developing mentally, intuitively and organizing within.
Brown by itself can indicate lack of energy, or one who has become “stagnant”. Gold:
Indicates lots of spiritual energy, in tune with oneself.
Muddy gold means one has not really come to terms with one’s higher levels. Yellow:
Usually seen around a thinker, an analytical person.
Could indicate a “balanced” person.
Intelligent people show this color around their heads. Green:
Sympathetic to others, dependable and has healing abilities.
Muddier shade could indicate jealousy- like “green with envy”. Gray:
Can indicate intuition and creativity.
Silvery gray shows femininity while darker gray can mean secretiveness or physical imbalance.
Orange: Bright orange means one is growing emotionally and paranormally.
A dull shade means a person is unsure how to accept this growth.
Muddy orange shows in a person with too much pride. Pink: The color of love, and honesty.
It also depicts the quieter side of an artistic and creative person.
Dark pink may indicate immaturity or changes with one’s love life.
Dull pink, however, watch out; Someone is lying. Purple: The color of intuition, a deeper purple hue shows a strong- willed and passionate person.
It can also mean intense erotic imagination and being over-bearing. Red: A color of love or hate, strong emotions and a lot of energy. An intense red color, however, may indicate a person ready to go off the handle.
We often use phrases like, “Oh, she’s such a pain in the neck” or “My ex-boyfriend makes me sick in the stomach” or “My co-worker gives me a headache”! Well, they aren’t just phrases.
They have a connection to how negative emotions are stored in our body! Interesting, isn’t it? Do you want to leave your emotional “baggage” behind? It’s hard, yes? That’s why most of us carry our emotional baggage with us from year to year, allowing it to weigh us down and keep us mired in old memories, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.
The brain dwells on the negative.
We don’t focus on positive memories and emotions. That means we bring fewer positive memories and emotions into our life and carry an ever larger and heavier suitcase of negativity with us. You might change where you live, your relationships, jobs, health and fitness, or amount of wealth, but you don’t change.
You are still focused on your old experiences and emotions.
As a result, you brought along the old emotional baggage, opened the suitcase, unpacked, and surrounded yourself with all those thoughts and feelings as before. To create change, you start by not carrying around all that old emotional baggage.
Negative feelings connected to a certain circumstance can manifest as pain.
A lot of you must have gone through painful and difficult things in your lives.
These experiences tend to stay in your mind for a very long time.
This is referred to as emotional baggage, and it means that you are still struggling with unresolved emotions and holding onto pain, sadness, regret, and rage.
This “Baggage” doesn’t go away.
It can affect the way you think, how you react to stress, and your relationship with others, your physical and mental well-being.The Time Is NOW, For ALL Our Sakes. Releasing Symbolically. Every week, I symbolically release what I don’t want to bring into the new week. Some only do this every New Year! I make a list, which might include things like: • anger (at [name] and in general) • Resentment toward [name or situation] • lack consciousness • my fear of [something] • all the memories and thought related to the incidents covered in the news from the past year • Back pain • Thyroid issues • Etc. Then I perform a Fire Ceremony with a stick or piece of paper and release that to the fire. (See my other Blog on this).
I intentionally and energetically release these things I don’t want any longer.
I pray, bless and do this ceremony with a power greater than myself to leave them in the past.
The symbolic and energetic release is powerful, and I know setting that intention is a powerful act.
That’s what the Fire Ceremony represents. The intention is to leave these things in the past. And I know Source (God, Spirit or Creator) responds to that intention. However, after mentally focusing on the items on that list for weeks, months, or years, and doing so with a lot of emotion, it often takes more than one intentional action to see or feel a difference. Do Something Different.
For that reason, you often need to actively, consciously, intentionally commit to releasing the old baggage regularly. You must consistently do something different.
Specifically, you must stop focusing on the past and feeding the emotions that correspond with those events and experiences.
That’s the challenging part of leaving your emotional baggage at the curb. You’ve trained your brain to think about past events and experiences.
Those thoughts trigger emotions in your body.
To change that, you must retrain your mind to focus on the positive aspects of your past, the present moment, and the future you desire.
Each time you move your thoughts from the past to the present—or even the future, you demonstrate your commitment to intentionally leave your baggage behind.
If you do this often enough, the old memories and emotions become less pronounced and prevalent in your experience.
Eventually, you won’t think about the incident or feel the emotion unless you choose to do so.
This process is about choice.
You choose where to focus your attention and decide what thoughts to think.
And that makes it possible to choose what you feel. When you do this, you begin eliminating past events or emotions from that suitcase you’ve been carrying around. You might even drop them in the rubbish bin. Ways to Empty Your Emotional Baggage
As I said, it can feel challenging to drop emotional baggage.
That’s why so many people take their suitcases filled with memories and emotions with them…no matter where they go.
They get used to lugging those heavy bags through life.
Keeping those events and emotions close at hand feels safe and comfortable.
Letting them go, like getting rid of a faded and loved pair of jeans, feels like a loss.
Even if those jeans no longer fit, it’s hard to get rid of them.
They are uncomfortable to wear, but you try to fit into them anyway because you’ve been wearing them for years.
But you don’t have to fit into those uncomfortable past events and emotions any longer.
You don’t have to keep the mementos of painful events around as reminders any longer.
There are ways to empty your emotional baggage, so the load gets lighter and the bags smaller.
You might, for instance, try one of the following strategies:
1. Hire a therapist. Today the best form of therapy is Shamanic Energy Medicine.
It requires working with a trained professional to understand and release your past.
2. Find a support group. Depending upon the baggage you are carrying, you might find a support group run by therapist works well for lightening the load.
These groups tend to revolve around one issue, like anger or grief. You could also try a “women’s or men’s group.”
3. Hypnotherapy. Go to a trained Clinical Hypnotherapist.
Hypnosis is a fabulous way to reprogram your subconscious mind, which can help you let go of and change old memories or associated emotional triggers and reactions. 4. Releasing Emotional Baggage

But you don’t have to fit into those uncomfortable past events and emotions any longer. You don’t have to keep the mementos of painful events around as reminders any longer. There are ways to empty your emotional baggage, so the load gets lighter and the bags smaller. You might, for instance, try one of the following strategies: 1. Hire a therapist. Today the best form of therapy is Energy Medicine. It requires working with a trained professional to understand and release your past. 2. Find a support group. Depending upon the baggage you are carrying, you might find a support group run by therapist works well for lightening the load. These groups tend to revolve around one issue, like anger or grief. You could also try a “women’s or men’s group.” 3. Try hypnosis. Go to a trained Clinical Hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is a fabulous way to reprogram your subconscious mind, which can help you let go of and change old memories or associated emotional triggers and reactions.
4. Visualize yourself living without emotional baggage.
Visualization does a great job of reprogramming the mind as well.
Imagine what you and your life will be like when you no longer have the emotional baggage. 5. Act as if you are a person with no emotional baggage. Be that person who has already emptied out the suitcase and thrown away its contents. If you had no emotional baggage, how would you behave? How would you act? Do that now.
6. Perform a Fire Ceremony. This works for rapid transformation. It has been used to rid negativity and enhance our lives for hundreds of years. Imagine that you pack up your negative thoughts, experiences, and emotions and put them in black garbage bags. See yourself putting them by the curb and driving away unencumbered by any of that in your future.
Of course, you can keep those large suitcases that you used to carry your past forward with you.
Now that they are empty, fill them with all the positive memories and emotions of your life.
A bag like that will never feel heavy and is well worth carrying into the future.
It is time.
Time to rid yourself of any and all negative emotional baggage.
Routines provide a framework for a more spiritual enlightened life.
Spiritual Benefits of Routines In Our Day
Routines provide a framework for a more spiritual enlightened life. Even though some daily practices may not appear to be spiritual on the surface, they provide the structure you need to find Spirit and God in the chaos of everyday living.
Mornings are my favorite time of day to dedicate myself to my spiritual development.
When I am focused on connecting to a higher power and healing, a consistent morning routine is essential.
Every morning we have an opportunity to align ourselves again spiritually for the day ahead.
A spiritual morning routine includes intentionally choosing spiritual practices.
When we choose to do this, it brings major improvements in our perspective and the way we experience life.
The first moments and hours after waking from a night of resting and regenerating sleep is a period of heightened energetic sensitivity and openness.
We can make the best use of this time by practicing a spiritual morning routine that can allow you to set and maintain a higher vibration for the day. Choosing to implement a spiritual morning routine allows you to make sure that your perspective is aligned before you do anything else.
All spiritual practices are powerful at any time of the day, but it is an effective choice to align with these practices when you are most rested and clear.
A spiritual morning routine also includes other benefits including but not limited to: improved general health, vitality, focus, less stress, better mood, flow states, improving the relationship you have with yourself and others.
The first things we need to do in creating a spiritual morning routine is setting the intention to dedicate our mornings to our chosen practices.
Ideas For Your Spiritual Morning Routines
# 1 Cacao Ceremony.
I like to start the day with a cup of organic Cacao.
With all the proven health benefits, I know it will keep me going for many hours. It also starts my day to share from my heart space, from a place of authenticity and love. It supports opening the heart! 1. Prepare the Cacao. Once you’ve taken a few minutes to make your space nice and tidy, it’s time to head over to the kitchen and prepare the cacao. … 2. State What You’re Grateful For. … 3. Set an Intention for the Day. … 4. Drink your Cacao! … 5. Close the Ceremony. If you are interested in buying Ceremonial Grade Cacao contact me.
# 2 Meditation. Meditation is a staple practice within any spiritual morning routine. You can include any type of meditation that feels right for you. Traditional silent meditation, breath awareness meditation, or guided meditations. You can find many meditations on my You Tube Channel.
Meditation allows you to slow down and become present to the deeper eternal aspects of who you are.
# 3 Yoga. Yoga is also an ancient holistic practice that can be an entire morning routine itself. Yogic practice includes activating your body and energy through a variety of powerful practices.
Yoga is perfect to include within your morning practice as it will help you to focus and actively embody spirituality in your mind and body in preparation for your day ahead.
# 4 Grounding and Immersing Yourself In Nature. Spending time in nature will add to your spiritual morning routine. You can choose to do this by itself or with some other morning practice. Meditating in nature or eating your breakfast mindfully in your garden can naturally connect you energetically to mother earth.
This will naturally raise your vibration and connect you with the energy field and consciousness of Pachamama, Mother Earth.
# 5 Journaling. Journaling is a wonderful practice to include in your spiritual morning routine, or at any time.
You can dedicate a journal to any and all of your thoughts and feelings as well as journaling about all we are grateful for in life. #6 Prayers and Blessings. Prayer is a great addition to your spiritual morning routine; you can use the power of prayer to acknowledge and welcome divine assistance for your day ahead. You can use prayer to express gratitude or appreciation. It can also be your safe space to speak about your needs and dreams.
To get the most out of your Prayers and Blessings, see my articles on these at www.jamievida.com #7 Reading. Reading will add spiritual inspiration and knowledge to your morning routine. Include time for the reading of sacred texts, spiritual books and books to help you improve yourself on all levels; Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually.
It also improves focus and presence.
Routines In Our Day
Combine any number of these practices to design a morning routine that is fitting for you.
To gain the benefits of these practices you need to dedicate yourself to seeing through your morning routine for 66 days.
This allows the aligned energy and benefits that you gain from your practices to integrate into your daily life.
This has been proven by the University College Campus in London as being the optimal time to make this into a real-life changing life-style.
Robin Sharma splits that up into 3 lots of 22 days.
The first 22 are a bit hard, the second 22 get a bit messy, and the third 22 are becoming easier.
He also splits the first hour into 3 parts.
The first 20 minutes for exercise, the second for Meditation and the third for self-development, like reading books or listening to Podcasts.
Be kind to yourself and disciplined in practicing your spiritual morning routine.
Over time, your morning routine becomes a Ritual and will be a cherished start to your day and a major upgrade to your life experience.
Maintaining your morning routine will create ripples that benefit you, and all those around you.
So, start today and begin preparing yourself for your Routines and a brand-new enlightened life.
