Feeling Energies

A better understanding of how to feel energy* as well as to know that if the energy doesn't feel good to you to let it go and to come back another day and try again. You will also be instructed on the levels of energy capacity you may be able to attain by requesting to be stepped up in your ability. Feeling the energy in different conditions is also discussed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Energy is something that many of you may feel - a gentle energy, a loving energy. Perhaps some of you may feel it as warmth. Perhaps some of you may feel it as a good feeling, a very soft contact - not unlike the feeling your physical body has when in a gentle wind but without the wind - the feeling only.

Clearing An Energy Drain

Have you ever been in a situation where your energy is being drained by someone or something? This process I'm sharing with you today will help to remove in the most benevolent way the drain on your energy. I am hopeful it will help many of you who are experiencing this either in a pronounced way that you can notice or perhaps that is simply an undercurrent that might keep you tired and you know not why.

Energy Practice

It is time now to practice your acquisition of benevolent energies in a felt manner. This suggested homework will help you to achieve greater and then even greater levels of energy acquisition.

2009 Predictions: Medicine Hat

An energy now from Mother Earth's heart is radiating up into, through and around Medicine Hat that will stimulate, support and have benevolent impacts in Medicine Hat and beyond.

A Flash Message About Us and About Earth

Greetings, the following message is about a inspiration which I have received and am passing on to you because it may herald the end of a difficult time for many of us and therefore I'm trying to spread the message as rapidly as possible so we can all do what we are able to get through these remaining days of extra strain and welcome the more gentle time to come.

I have been struggling with my energy, my physical and my creative side because there is so much to do isn't there and we feel an urgency to do all we can and yet it seems like every day we find that the energy levels given to us are either dropping or it feels like our energy cascade has a hole in it eh.

So...it's important to know something. Right now Mother Earth is recreating herself and not unlike all very young beings she needs to be nurtured and assisted.

We have all wondered why there are so many of us on the planet now. We have wondered perhaps - are there too many of us but in fact the reason we have over five billion on this planet is that five and a half billion is the magic number by which Mother Earth can experience about one third of our physical energy to replenish her own.

There is a reason we call Mother Earth - Mother Earth. We are used to her giving us energy but in this situation she requires energy from us and like all children everywhere we want to help our mothers - yes.

In this case we want to help our Mother Earth when we can. So for the past week and for perhaps another three to four days she's going to need our help. So don't be alarmed if you feel more tired than usual and if the schedule that you normally are able to keep up seems to be overwhelming.

If you can get extra naps go ahead. If you can take certain things out of your schedule that won't be missed or can be delayed a week or so - go ahead. This will be over soon but I felt it was important to let you know because so many have been feeling overwhelmed. Many of you have had the feeling of being overwhelmed for some time now. That's because it has gradually built up and we are at the crescendo of the demand now and that's why it's just - almost too much.

You've also noticed that dreams are rather overwhelming and sometimes vivid and jumping from one thing to another unexpectedly. This will be a passing phenomena.

I want you to know that this is something we've all trained for on the soul level and it will be alright. We can get through this.

Here is a brief message from Isis to encourage us on our path over the next few days:

"This is Isis. Those of us in spirit world have also trained for this. Those of us who assist spirit world eh - angels, guides are working so hard that those of you who channel sometimes have a hard time making connections - have you noticed. That's because of this energy drain but then when you think about it, it's only natural isn't it to care for those who need it especially a family member like Mother Earth and it will be alright."

If you're having a gathering I recommend that you do a group meditation to support and provide love for Mother Earth but in order so that you don't get too drained this is what I strongly recommend you do.

First I recommend you do that group meditation in the daytime and outdoors. If it's a sunny day that would be best but if it's cloudy where you are or rainy then stay indoors, that's fine. The daylight alone will be enough. So...picture the sun in the sky in your imagination.

Then either stand on the ground - preferably without plastic or artificial soled shoes - but wear what you need to wear and perform your meditation in your usual way though in this case I recommend that you do not hold hands, if that is your method but if you wish and you derive strength from doing this you can take one finger and touch the person next to you. I would recommend that you do not use your left hand for this, only your right.

So...then do your meditation as you normally do but add Mother Earth as a receiver of the greatest benevolence available - in your own words of course. And also, every time you breathe be conscious of breathing in the sun's energy. This will help.

If you are doing this at night then breathe in the moon's energy - that is also alright but don't take energy from Earth. Give energy to Earth but not your own.

We must learn how to use the energy of the planetary bodies around us. If you are living someplace where you can see many stars in the sky at night and the moon is present then starlight is also acceptable since starlight is essentially light of suns and suns are intended to give energy - and as human beings it is our nature to give energy but we have forgotten, many of us, that the energy is not always intended to be our own but is intended to be provided by the circuit of the sun, the moon, the human being.

Practice breathing in the sun or if your schedule is such that you are up more at night - practice breathing in the moon. That might be easier because you can actually look at the moon and breathe - alright - just breathe in and exhale normally. While you're looking at the moon you can breathe in and exhale normally 5 times.

Do you know how this gives energy to the Earth? Every time we exhale regardless of who we are or where we are or what we're doing, part of the energy of our exhaled breath always exits out the bottoms of our feet. This is why I have often suggested that you do not wear something so insulating on your feet when we do these special things I am helping you to learn here on these blogs.

If you want to have a better contact with the sun then close your eyes and hold your head towards the sun and breathe in the sun. Do this for just 3 breaths keeping your eyes tightly shut but you will feel the sun's warmth on your face and thus will create a connection.

If you prefer you can tie a cloth around your head covering your eyes or wear extremely dark glasses while looking towards the sun but you must close your eyes as well.

The point is to feel the connection with the sun. Just breathe naturally and try not to think about anything. This allows us to be our purely physical beings.

Just breathe in this way with the sun for 8 to 10 breaths if you have the cloth tied around your face or are using the dark glasses.

It's a way to practice and you will find that this practice leads to an energizing that you have been missing in your bodies.

This energizing will help greatly towards the accomplishment of being the sun's children as well as Earth children and also as the sons and daughters of parents have done from time immemorial it will allow you to take care of Mother Earth and that is a goal all children have isn't it - to be able to take care of your parents when they need you.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

The Shaman's Way Archive

For a short time in '06 I had a blog on Typepad that I did not keep up past a certain point. I've decided to reprint it here as an archive and I hope that you will enjoy it.

In order to keep it as accurate as possible I have kept to the blog tradition and you will find that the posts, in order by date, begin at the bottom here and proceed up to the post dated 10-31-06.

Goodlife.


Allowing Credit
10-31-06

Do we really have to walk through fire to test our faith. I grant that this is an old and - yes perhaps even ancient rite of passage but I believe that nowadays given the complications and difficulties of life that many of us are, at least parenthetically walking through fire in our day to day lives and I feel this is sufficient.

I also feel that while this testing ground of life that we're living in is filled with possibilities that could go this way or that way that it is important to create another rite of passage and that is walking through the cool. I'm not referring to the cool world or the latest greatest here. I'm referring to allowing ourselves to be, to exist, to have a good life and most important - giving ourselves permission to have this good life.

Is it really possible to have a good life, to be enjoying what you're doing and to allow other people to live their lives. One of the biggest challenges, you know, is that your friends, your family, very often people you care about very deeply might be going through something that you can see crystal clear and much as you've tried to help them - they really can't hear you.

It's not that they don't consider your opinion or your experience valuable it's just that they are going through it and even though you might see it clearly, just as others might see what you are going through clearly, it is important to give them permission to go through it on their own.

Once they get through it perhaps they will comment, on their progress or how they did it, to you and you can smile to yourself thinking - well I seem to recall suggesting that but don't say it. How often have you had your creations, especially when you were younger, tampered with - and by that I mean that you accomplished something that you felt good about. You were inspired perhaps - you struggled and you accomplished it and then along came a well meaning friend or family member and said - I told you to do that a long time ago - and you felt crushed. You felt like your creation or your creative impulse had been stamped upon.

It is important to not just walk through the fire but walk through the cool. The cool in this case has to do with being cool yes but it has to do with allowing yourself the freedom and the permission to have a good life and allowing loved ones, friends and family to struggle when necessary. Of course offer help when you feel it is desired and yet there are so many times aren't there when offering help will really get in the way of their own creation.

So enjoy your life, offer help when it's desired by others but stand back when you see them - yes struggling a bit but perhaps a struggle that will pay off in a way that they will be able to feel and believe that they did it themselves. This is so very important.

So - that's what I suggest. Goodlife.


Seeing Energy Bodies
10-11-06

Have you ever noticed that you're looking at something, perhaps at a distance, and there is a slight glow around it.

I want to share with you something many of you may already know and that is how to see an energy field above a person.

First practice, if you can , seeing an energy field above an object and then pick a friend who wants to learn how to do this as well. It must be somebody who wants to do it on their own desire not because you want them to practice with you - so if you have to go to a place where you're likely to meet people like that that's fine. Maybe you already know someone like that.

Then this is what I recommend - stand in front of a blank wall, if you have to sit that's okay but make sure if you're sitting that the other person is looking at you in such a way as anything you're sitting in is not directly beyond their point of view - meaning that if there's a back to the chair that you're then showing your profile. That allows them to see you and right beyond you is the wall - you understand. So if you can stand that's alright. If you can sit perhaps on a stool that's alright too.

Then the person who is observing sit if you like or stand at least 10 feet away. If you can't get any further away than 6 feet that's alright but 10 feet would be better.

Then for the person who's being observed close your eyes and see if you can experience this feeling - think of something that made you laugh. You don't have to laugh while you're standing or sitting there but try to remember how funny it was and just stay focused on that - that funny thing.

Then relax after a time - you can pick the time - it doesn't make any difference how long but make sure it's at least 2 minutes. You stay focused on the funny thing as long as you remember the fun of it and how funny it was. Then whenever that feeling releases - relax for a moment and then shortly thereafter remember something that made you think long and hard. I don't mean something that made you sad or something that upset you - just something that made you think - you had to think about it, you understand.

Then after that feeling fades then remember something that made you sad. Don't linger on that. It tends to linger anyway you see.

Then relax and after that to finish up remember something that makes you feel good or happy, whichever you like - it can be anything. That's the procedure to follow. If you can't do that all one after the other then just do one at a time.

The other person - you keep in mind that that's the process and don't look at their entire body. The reason you have them standing in front of a blank wall - meaning if there was anything hanging on the wall see if you can take it down and ideally the wall is white or beige, some neutral color you see - what you want to do is look at the very top of their head and if you begin to see something even a lighter area beyond the top of their head or perhaps above their shoulders don't look at that.

What you do is begin to look at the very top of that changed color or glow and look further away from it - meaning if it's above their head for example then look very slightly above the point where you see the change, where you see the glow, where you see the color and if the color or glow expands continue to concentrate moving your point of vision - where you are staring on the wall - above and slightly away from that color. This is the way I recommend that you view the energy body around a person.

The value of having known feelings is that it might be possible to see colors. Certain colors of light and energy are supported by our bodies and by those Guides and Angels that support us. It is not that we are taking advantage of these loving beings.

It is that they, I believe, are trying to teach us more about our ongoing spiritual lives. So don't feel, if you would, that they are being - how can we say - manipulated. It is a standard reality that our bodies signal our needs and these colors of light are intended to feed the subtle energies of our body with what we need.

I will say more about this as time goes on. Goodlife to you all.


Seeing Now
9-29-06

Energy is something that is all around us all the time and yet is it so close to us that we cannot feel it?

I believe that we are feeling energy more and more these days - and I mean everybody. It's just that our lives are so complicated and often harried that it is difficult - even challenging to notice the subtle things. However - we all have these quiet moments - sometimes it's here, sometimes it's there and I'll bet that some of you have noticed a difference in what you're seeing.

If you live in the same place or spend a lot of time in the same place when there's quiet moments and no one else around - I recommend that you notice things and try to notice them as well after you've noticed them. What do I mean by that?

You have probably read about or heard about latent images - meaning that which you notice essentially after the fact. You've perhaps had the experience where you have - say clicked on something on the internet and then realized that there was something on the previous page you actually wanted to see because you didn't notice it until after the fact that you clicked. Sometimes that's a memory but other times it's a latent image - meaning you're already off the page but you can still almost see it.

I'm not trying to talk about the internet here. Rather I'm suggesting that it is possible these days for everyone to notice that there are slight image differences in what you see - yes with your own eyes.

I'm not talking about a photograph. I'm not talking about any special effect. I'm simply talking about what you observe and it will most often be seen as a latent image - meaning you look away and then you realize that what you were looking at was slightly different. You look back and it's its own normal state of being - meaning whatever you normally see.

What's happening is that energies of personality that are associated with benign and benevolent spirits - sometimes Guides and always loving beings - are beginning to reveal themselves to us.

They don't look like us. They look like light usually. Sometimes it will be a vertical beam of light but it will almost always be very gentle - a soft color - perhaps lilac or light green for example. Other times there will be a blink of light - meaning a light just free floating in space but it will be so quick that it will be gone in a moment. Often this will be white, occasionally other colors and when you look back it's not there.

This isn't somebody trying to play a joke or a trick on you. This is a time now when subtleties are more available and ironically it's because we are so busy and because we cannot think about the subtleties - we can only notice them most of the time after the fact.

I'm bringing it to your attention because so many of us - and perhaps you have too - have asked to see, to know, to be aware of our Guides, Angels and Loving Teachers and other beings that we hope and believe and really want to be there and it is a time right now and has been for a while that such evidence can be present for us.

Occasionally you will get a word or two if you happen to see something like this but almost always there will be a gentle feeling - perhaps a feeling that is warm and loving in the most comfortable way. If that doesn't happen for you right away perhaps it will at some point.

I just wanted to let you know that this is happening now and it will continue in the most gentle, loving and benevolent way and it will never be frightening - so if anything like that happens to you just know it's not what I'm referring to here and look forward to this benevolent experience of your Guides, Angels, Loving Teachers and yes - perhaps Deities who are revealing themselves to you now in this most benevolent way.

Goodlife.


The Herald Of Purple
9-7-06

What is the nature of the color purple. Why is it associated with spirit. This is a color that has been seen - not only by Visionaries but by everyday people. People like you and I and people you see walking on the street every day.

The color has been seen around the time of the passing of a loved one or a friend or sometimes even someone you did not really know very well. Perhaps they were an acquaintance, perhaps a complete stranger.

I'm not referring to the dark purple color that is often used for religious ceremonies. This is a lighter purple color and has a version of translucence to it - sometimes even a variation of transparency.

It is always seen when a Spirit is either coming or going to someplace and on occasion it is seen when a Spirit is visiting. It is really true that spirits can visit. Sometimes a place, sometimes a person and this visiting is always accompanied by a benevolent guide even if the Spirit themselves are a guide because if they're visiting someplace it is very often a situation where there is some affection, feeling or sense of familiarity and one would like to have a friend of ones own kind present.

I'm bringing this up to you today because I feel it's important for you to recognize that should you see this kind of thing most often it will not be in the form of a human being. It will be a fairly anomalous shape. Perhaps just a sweep of purple, perhaps a sort of shape - sometimes even in a circle or a disc shape.

This is something that we will see these days more and more. Don't be frightened please. It will almost always be accompanied by a benevolent energy that many of you will be able to physically feel and be comforted by. As I say, it may be a friend or a beloved relative.

If you can see it the chances are it is somebody that you have known or some being that has great affection for you. It is then a blessing and I believe ought to be counted as one. I am hopeful that you will have the opportunity to have this experience as I feel that it will often be something that you may cherish.

Spirits these days have more capacity to move amongst us. According to what I've been taught and what I believe by my experience, this is because we as physical beings have moved beyond the station that we were at when our world was a portion of our lives - meaning when we were born.

There has been an acceleration in spirit and form. Some of it has been brought about by our compassion towards our fellow beings who are suffering but I believe also that some of it has been brought about by our desire for us to get on with a more benevolent life and to embrace all those in the world who desire the same thing.

Welcome the sight of the beautiful light colored purple. It will always be a visitation of a beloved and benevolent Spirit.

Goodlife to you all.


Reaching Back To Us
8-25-06

On awakening in the morning you may find yourself with a slightly more groggy feeling these days.

Oh granted, it's because - at least partially - the atmosphere that most of us are living in is not as oxygenated as it needs to be.

Still there's another reason and I believe it is a more pleasant reason. We are gradually merging with our greater personalities. Many of us have dreamt things with little glimmers or heard words when we woke up from our dream that are mystifying and intriguing.

Sometimes we forget about it, other times it lingers. I know that many of us are having unpleasant dreams but I'm not referring to that. I'm talking about those mysterious dreams that feel so personal and yet when you think of the images you cannot place anything in them in your current life.

In my experience, I believe that this is the future portions of us in this life - not in some unknown world - reaching back to us through the veils of time to connect to us and support us.

I'm going to recommend that you do something - if you like. First I'm going to suggest that you request the most benevolent energies, beings, yes Deities if you like, Creator and/or others to be near you with the most benevolent energy and wait a minute or so. Perhaps some of you will feel something.

Then I'm going to suggest the following Living Prayer. Remember to say it out loud and try to say it exactly as it is printed here.

I suggest you say, "I am asking that all those beings who live in our time now feel greater influence from our most benevolent selves in the future of our now time and that that influence support, nurture and strengthen our capabilities to survive and thrive in increasing comfort."

It is alright to say something like that you see - and a Living Prayer of course includes yourself but it also includes the greater community and beyond.

I feel that you will find that these glimmers, these touches with our benevolent future become increasingly available. Try to note how you feel when you wake up from such dreams.

If you have the momentary tension of an alarm clock, that might muddy the situation but if you've been able to wake up peacefully and calmly then note how you feel.

This is important. Such feelings might provide for you the ability to truly have a reminder that your future is not only much more benevolent then it is now but that that future you, from this life, loves you and cares about you so much that they are reaching back to you in your now time to bring about greater ease in your life.

Is that not truly loving. Goodlife to you all.
