As we go about our daily routine, we
can learn to connect to spirit at the same time!
In our sped up life, spiritual techniques
are frequently set aside for a special quiet time,
if we actually make the time! However, there are things we
can do to energize ourselves, ground and become aware of the
present moment.
We can do centering exercises at our desk,
breathing out negative energies (such as stress and tension)
and breathing in white (Divine) light. Intend to release any
energies that’s keeping you off balance, and aim to
center your being. Intend this light to permeate every cell,
and go beyond the sub-cellular level. You can also clear your
chakras by using breath and/or visualization. Remember, intention
is the key, for whatever you intend to do heartfully will
be accomplished. Some techniques take practice and discipline,
but intention is 99% of this work.
As you go about your day, ask yourself where
you’re focusing your consciousness. Is it in releasing
negative energy or holding on to it? If you’re holding
on, what are you getting out of it? If you want to stay angry,
frustrated or fearful, how’s this serving you? We have
unconscious reasons for keeping negative energy. I’m
calling these energies “negative” although they’re
technically lower frequency energies. They all serve a purpose,
and can provide clues as to what patterns or triggers are
being provoked within us.
When walking down the street, place your
attention on the physical experience your feet make with the
ground. Visualize yourself connected to the earth and having
an energy interaction with it, such as releasing negative
energy and taking in positive energy. This is the natural
recycling and spiritual ecological balance which grounds and
clears us at the same time.
With food, hold your hands over it and say
a simple affirmation such as, “my body will accept all
the nutritional value that’s good for me and allow any
unwanted elements to pass harmlessly from my body.”
Any affirmation used in engaging an activity sets into motion
energies that will “color” the experience.
While taking a shower, envision the water
cleansing your aura. The flow of water creates a negative
ion field which helps purify the aura. By becoming aware of
this interaction and with intention, the experience becomes
more intense. The same is true when you’re by the ocean.
The action of the crashing waves and the ocean itself creates
a giant ionized field. This is energizing and revitalizing.
When you’re conscious of this, the event becomes more
powerful. All things have this element of consciousness.
By placing your attention upon your interaction
with the Divine life force, which is both light and sound,
you become sensitive and aware of its presence within and
around you. This sensitivity is important in developing a
more intimate experience with the Divine––both
your own Divinity and the Divinity of others.
