Clearing Your Space

While the subject of prosperity and the tools necessary are many, a few tools are foundational. For example, being bold and taking immediate action on your desires. Indeed it is better to take quick action and make a mistake, than to take no action at all, for that guarantees failure. Positive mental attitude and good self image sustains mental health, which overrides fatigue and burnout, while it also opens doorways of opportunities. And probably a more subtle foundational piece, which is often disregarded, is organization and cleanliness.

Energy

Everything is energy. This is fairly common knowledge at this point. And everything is a reflection of everything else. Clutter, disorganization in your environment, is a reflection of the clutter and internal resistance to your natural flow. While physical abundance comes from interactions with other people, the energy of prosperity is a river which flows through the layers of our consciousness, which defines our actions. This, in turn, impacts how we interact with others.

A disorganized and chaotic environment is a symptom of internal blockage to your flow. And this has been taught by many, especially in the field of feng shui. But from an esoteric point of view, it is not enough to just clean and organize your space, you must clean and organize your own internal energy.
This can be done with meditation, proper eating, breathing, and taking days for play and joy. As we do our own internal spiritual work, we clear up our attachments and our frustrations, letting go of these distractions, and freeing us to create, according to our joys and passion, our true strength.

Home

In addition, I offer another piece of information. It is important to energetically clean your space. And so I present several methods that are highly effective. Cleaning and organizing your home and cleaning the energy of your space, will help to relieve pressure that will allow you to flow more effectively and consistently in life, while you are doing your internal work.

How to Clear Your Space

Courage

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth. And in so doing, through their lives here, they will eventually learn, that the only way to create change, and the life you deserve is to be bold. To be courageous. To go for your dreams!

Take a look at the life of any great person, and they dared to step out into the world and make a change. Many people confuse meekness with humility, and often confuse humility with simply being kind. Most people can agree that a humble person does not talk about himself or brag (this is false pride). But true humility is something far different. It is to accept your purpose and your mission in life as agreed to between you and God. In other words, being the absolute best that you can be, despite the fears and doubts of those around you. Gandhi is the most recent Master to live this example, as did Mother Theresa.

Most of us in this world focus on being kind, compassionate, having a good life, and caring for others. And this brings us much credit in the form of positive spiritual energy. Which then can be utilized in times of trouble and need, when we get help from unexpected sources. Indeed miracles can happen this way. However, to live the life of a Magus or Divinely empowered human being, is to create miracles and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds consistently. This is done by harnessing the power of Love and Grace and Kindness by the Strength of Faith and the Courage and Strength of God. In essence, the TRUTH about yourself, that you are a Divine Being, with all of the power and qualities thereof.

As practical application, courage and strength is best described as being bold, and is best harnessed by accepting your own greatness, your own qualities and virtues, and acting upon your dreams and desires that do not cause harm to anyone.

Remember, the very first commandment of God is to be fruitful and multiply. We are created in the image of God, and carry the strength, the love and power of God to create in harmony with all things.


“Fortune favors the bold” (Virgil)

It is far easier to discuss things and debate and contemplate, than it is to actually take action. These are the distractions that block us from our own true greatness. You came to this world as a Divine Being, with knowledge that only you have about a particular skill or quality. You are a unique and perfected expression of the Great Divine, and the more you awaken and express this quality, the better the world becomes. In these times of great change, those who dare to embrace their own greatness and share it with the world, can empower thousands.

I leave you with a quote, from perhaps the greatest philosopher of the 19th century, Eliphas Levi. “Nothing can resist the will of man when he knows the truth and wills the good.”

Meditation

In all spiritual traditions, meditation is a cornerstone of spiritual practice and discipline. There are many books written on meditation, many techniques, and all of them profess of a great value in stilling and turning off your thoughts.

What is rarely discussed, and what I would like to share with you, is why meditation is the cornerstone. First and foremost, stilling your mind helps you enhance your ability to communicate with your spiritual guides, it helps to eliminate mind chatter and alleviate stress. All of this is well-known. Proper breathing techniques greatly enhance your ability to slow down your mind, shifting you from a beta state to an alpha state or deeper.

Breathing
Correct breathing engages your focus and will, overriding your normal biological functions. This is essential in learning how to take control of your life. If you cannot maintain a sustained breathing technique, which stills the mind and calms the body, releasing stress, then you are being controlled by that stress.

Since all spiritual traditions eventually lead to personal empowerment and divine consciousness, it is important to understand that divine consciousness can only be achieved through connection to the Divine through control over your physical body and your lower self. This is also known as death of the personality.

Expanding Consciousness
In all spiritual practices, meditation is for expanding consciousness. This expansion allows us to connect to higher spiritual beings, as well as specific rays of creation and transformation. It is through proper breathing and meditation that we can hold onto these rays for extended periods of time, thus accelerating our transformation, from a lower vibration to a higher vibration. This allows us to overcome fears, doubts, and misconceptions, and additionally, to bring transformational energies that allow us to perpetuate physical, emotional, and mental healing for ourselves. And with enough practice, you can then flow these energies to others. There are no shortcuts to our spiritual progression, but there are certain tools that are instrumental.

Psychic Awareness
One more thing. When you meditate, focusing on your third eye, at the front of your forehead, will help expand clairvoyance. Focusing on a spot three inches behind and three inches above your head will stimulate both the pineal and pituitary gland, which not only enhances clairvoyance, but also your ability to communicate directly to your guides. For this opens a doorway to the spiritual dimensions.

Advanced meditation can only be accomplished when basic body control and energy control, through empowerment of the will and breath are achieved. And advanced meditation is when it gets fun!

Turbo Charge Your New Year's Resolution

As with all things in life, as one thing ends another begins. 2010 has come and is leaving, and with it is the birth of 2011. Two plus eleven equals thirteen, and thirteen is a magickal number. It is the higher octave of four, which are the four elements of creation. 2011, a four year, carries with it a vibration of creating from a higher spiritual purpose.

As the new year roles in, hopes and dreams are created. Hopes that the challenging experiences of years past are concluded, and that the rewards gained from overcoming those shadows bear fruit in the year to come.

There are many ways to release old energies from past experiences. Some people like to write them down and burn them. Others simply like to communicate with the people they've had experiences with, and forge new better connections.

Whatever method you choose to let go of things from years gone past, I hope that you include with this, a spark of gratitude, for it is unfortunate but true that we tend to learn more from negative experiences than anything else.

When you release something, you create a void, where you must bring something in. Why not bring in something which you truly want? Here are ways, specific to your element, that have proven to be highly successful.

For those of you that are very energetic, you can do all four. If you don't know what your element is, the simple way to look at it is by your astrological sign.


The Elements
Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Air: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra

Giving and Receiving

Of giving and receiving, I think I enjoy receiving most, don't you? It is awesome to receive the gifts of others. I love receiving gifts, because there are so many cool things in this world. Plus when I open gifts, I get a little excited . Giving is pretty cool too, because it also means "I appreciate you," or "I care about you."

But, did you know (I'm sure you did), that it is only by giving and receiving that everything in the world is created. Creation is a two part process. You must give your ideas, your joy and your energy. If you have employees, you must give money, and if you care about productivity and loyalty, you must also give appreciation in exchange for work and services. Friendships and partners, require sharing and connecting on a far more personal and deeper level.

Giving and receiving is not just about material things, but expressing your own true nature without fear. The most powerful gift you can exchange is joy; it connects us to love and has the power to overcome and redefine all things. In essence, the building block of all creation.

The nature of giving is to say to the Universe, "I can." It is an expression of your confidence and compassion. Consequently, the nature of receiving, is to say to the universe, "I believe you can." When you receive from others, you are honoring their flow, their prosperity, their divine potential for creation.

The concept that it is "better to give than receive" is a principle of selflessness, humility and compassion. However, from this act you are setting forces in motion as a consequence of your actions.

While giving is divine, so too is Receiving divine. It is often easier for spiritual/kind people to give and difficult to receive. Giving initiates the flow of creation but it is only by receiving that creation can be formed. Receiving is accepting and this must be in totality, meaning without judgment or expectations. Receiving completes the balance of flow and allows energy to return to the source.

As you give to others it sets energy in motion to return back to you, which is amplified by the quality of your giving. The purer the act i.e... no manipulation or acts of fear, then the greater the return. However, if you do not accept the gifts of others, if you cannot receive with an open and appreciative nature, that energy that you created by your giving goes to someone else!

When you receive, be it light and joy from God, or gifts and appreciation from others, it reaffirms to you that you have value, that you are worthy. This is perhaps the most important aspect of creating, because you can only create and maintain what you accept you are worthy of having.

The gift of receiving has the greatest impact when it is done in the true spirit of Love and appreciation, and will create miracles beyond measure.

Overcoming Negative Thoughts

Thoughts are Forms

According to Hermes, every thought that you have corresponds to an image.

Every idea creates a series of images, formed from your consciousness. Nebulous as they may be, your thoughts are still form. The more you believe in your thoughts, the stronger and more tangible are the forms. These thought forms gather strength and power with emotional convictions. The more passionate you are about your beliefs and thoughts, the more energy they have to attract things to you in life.

The Law of Attraction works 100% of the time. The problem is you're not always creating what you truly desire because you lapse into negative thoughts and feelings from your past human experience, your daily life.

Overcoming Negative Attraction

It is by overcoming the negative influences of your thoughts that you can have positive control of the things that you attract in life. Indeed it is essential.

Suggestion:

15 Minute Rule- Whatever negative experience you are having, enjoy it, express it fully, experience it to its depth if need be, BUT focus on something positive WITHIN 15 MINUTES. Here is the deal, whatever you resist will persist. The worst thing you can is try to avoid or subdue your negative thoughts, the second worst thing you can is to embrace them for a prolonged period of time. By giving yourself 15 minutes to deal with a negative experience, you are allowing your body to process chemically the negative experience, and your body will deplete these negative hormones. If you go beyond 20 minutes, your body will start to create new hormones to support the negative condition, and will reinforce it for future experience in your life. If you really want to live this rule in your life, give yourself at least one hour of positive/creative experience after a negative experience. This will reinforce the biochemistry for creativity and joy, which will in essence give you strength to overcome your negative cycle next time. The more you practice this, the faster the fifteen minutes will become ten, and then five. Until you are in control of your negative emotions.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

It takes great courage to forgive. For you must look at your own actions and how you have created this experience. It takes great wisdom to forgive. For in reviewing your actions, you must not judge them. The essence of forgiveness flows through compassion. Through the awareness that every experience brings us closer to God, and the realization that every moment in life will lead to another, and that this too shall pass. When we forgive, we allow that moment to pass. And in so, we step into the present, and only from this place may we define the life we choose to create. For if we fail to forgive, this will define our future. As well as the future of those we fail to forgive. For this is the nature of karma.

The nature of life is to live, to love, and to share all that you have, all that you are. But only through a pure heart, may the ripples of pain be soothed and the waters of life flow.

How to Forgive

To forgive yourself is to love yourself, to have appreciation for the qualities that you are. Look to your nature. Look to your actions that have brought joy to yourself and others. If the pain of sorrow is too great, the exercise of writing and burning will help with release. But one must come back to the light and write again about gratitude and appreciation of one’s nature. Look to your own reflection, with your list of gratitude and see the depths of them in your soul, through your eyes.
