Our feature this week is the physical aspect of our inner wheel of knowledge. It is more tangible because we relate to it from our five senses of smell, sight, touch, hearing and taste. If we take it one step further and see what our intuition or our 6th sense offers in the magic of this physical world, we will begin to discern what is in our best interests.
During this amazing time of change, your intuition is your best and only ally. It should be trusted and utilized. My mission is to empower you to have complete control over your future and health including mind, body and spirit. The importance of taking this responsibility for yourself and what is good for your unique self, is why we, as humans, are in this particular time of truth and understanding.
How do we look at this and how do we start to take our power back? Trust in what you already know. The physical body is very intelligent and it can heal itself.
There are three questions I often get asked. I have listed them below as well as the answers to them.
Question 1: What strategies and tools help you to begin to hear that 3rd eye, the 6th chakra?
If the physical is struggling to heal or you have challenges in this area, the spirit part of you may be lacking. So take time to quiet the mind to meditate. This will not only help you recognize what is important and what you need to focus on, it will also help you answer any questions you have regarding what’s happening in your world. Do not blame others and do not rely on others to decide for you. This includes searching for answers outside of yourself. You already know the answer and you have the ability to discern this through introspection.
Addicted to tarot readers and cards? Yes, I too have been there, though it was many years ago. I now use the cards to confirm with myself that I hear my inner voice, my innate self. Plus, I love the pictures of Creation.
Another great tool to understand is the recycling of your chakras. Your chakras (1 – 7) recycle on your birthday. This starts at the root, at the age of 14. This is discussed in Cyndi Dale’s book “Advanced Chakra Healing”, a must read for anyone. This allows you to understand what issues may come up that you have not healed.
Question 2: How do we listen to our body and not the chatter in our mind?
Any triggers that come up in whatever form or emotion need to be addressed. You may not be connecting to your heart and therefore are not hearing what your body is trying to convey. The ego has taken over and pain tapes from the past (stories we refer to that keep us in pain, victimhood and disempowered) limiting beliefs and even traumas. This will hold you hostage in a void of fear and resentment. A way to climb out of this void is through a Ho’oponopono healing prayer or forgiveness prayer for meditation. It will begin to free those emotions which just need to be acknowledged and released. Another way to regain your power is through past life regression. Accessing the Akashic records will provide information about your powerful lifetimes that you can tap into and also let go of what no longer serves you. Sometimes there are deep rooted issues that may require the help of a professional or spiritual coach, teacher or practitioner, to assist you in releasing these emotions.
Question 3 : How do we know it is our innate self communicating and not the ego making it up?
You have to practice and work out your third eye just like anything else. You need to learn how it works within you. Everyone has one or more ways they sense, feel and know. You only need to find out what your way of working with this energy is. There is so much great information out there to assist you in this area. Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Bruce Lipton (find their links to you tube) and Gregg Braedon have such great science backing this up. One simple thing I have my clients or students do is to acknowledge you hear that inner voice and then do some simple experiments. Purposefully defy what that inner voice is saying and see and be aware of the consequence of that decision. You will start to notice that this happens more often than not. Keep testing and comparing answers you may receive and then you will start to understand that unique communication you have with the universe. Be aware that the ego loves to make it easier for you to return to what you are familiar with. Resist and remember that this part of you is an adventure to discover. You are more connected than you think. Reiki is one tool that definitely can help enhance this ability.
Gardening is another excellent way to aid the physical and mental aspects. It is Herb Day on Saturday, May 2, 2020 and is a great time to learn about all the different types of herbs and their uses. We can use the energy of the herbs to help us heal and when used for medicinal purposes can sometimes give the body what it needs. Perhaps this is a great way to start to learn more about how to listen to your body and what is out of balance.
Here is a little ceremony you can do either inside or outside however, it is more preferable outside. Bring a journal, pen and something to sit on the ground with like a blanket or even your jacket. Go out in nature and find a tree that you can sit down on the ground against. Start with the East direction, face to the east and ask the ancestors or the energy of the East to be with you. Close your eyes and settle in to quiet the mind. Take three cleansing breaths and once you feel relaxed, ask “who am I and why am I here?” Do so in all the 4 directions E,W,S,N and write down the answers that come. Do not judge yourself nor think you have the wrong answer. Write down the first thing that comes to mind. Sit with the answer and also become aware of what is around you and what nature maybe saying as well. What kinds of animals do you see and notice the sun and the wind. Record all of that and then see what you sense and know from that direction. Once complete, thank the energy of those directions and or the ancestors. Then, at night, when going to sleep, set an intention to dream with and understand those answers. There may or may not be more to write the next day. It is okay if you don’t remember. Something may come through to you later on in the day or in the week, so just keep putting your focus to that experience of that ceremony.
This can be a very good beginning piece to start to get to know and work with your intuition. Enjoy! Namaste!
