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.
