SPIRITUAL TECHNIQUES

MANTRAS FOR INNER LIGHT

VISUALIZATION

AS YOU SAY THE FOLLOWING AFFIRMATION, SEE AND FEEL THE LIGHT WITHIN YOU AS A MOTHER-OF-PEARL-SOFTNESS BATHING YOUR BODY IN A GENTLE, SUFFUSING GLOW.
SEE THE LIGHT SURROUND EVERY CELL AND ATOM OF YOUR BODY, BECOMING WHITER AND WHITER.
AS THE CELLS AND ATOMS ACCELERATE, THEY BEGIN TO SPIN RELEASING THE WHITE LIGHT TO CLEAR AND ENERGIZE YOUR BODY, MIND AND EMOTIONS.
AS YOU RECITE THIS AFFIRMATION, STAND WITH YOUR ARMS AND RAISED OVER YOUR HEAD.
IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE DIRECTING THE ENERGY THAT IS RISING UP THE NETWORK OF YOUR CHAKRAS BACK TO GOD.

I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE
LIFE OF EVERY CELL AND ATOM OF MY
BEING NOW MADE MANIFEST!

NOTES: YOU CAN SAY THIS AFFIRMATION WHENEVER YOU FEEL THAT THE ENERGY FLOW IN SOME AREA OF YOUR LIFE IS BLOCKED, REPLACING THE WORDS, "EVERY CELL AND ATOM OF MY BEING" WITH THE SPECIFIC AREA OF YOUR LIFE YOU WANT TO REJEVENATE.

THE CHAKRAS LOCATION

OUR ASCENT BEGINS AT THE GROUND LEVEL-THE LEVEL OF THE ENERGY CENTRE KNOWN AS THE BASE-OF-THE-SPINE, OR BASE CHAKRA. IT TAKES ITS NAME FROM ITS LOCATION AT THE BASE OF THE SPINE, BUT IT IS ALSO THE BASE (FOUNDATION) OF OUR INNER AND OUTER DEVELOPMENT.

AT THE BASE CHAKRA, WE ACCESS THE LIFE-FORCE THAT ENLIVENS US BOTH PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY. THIS ENERGY IS THE CREATIVE POWER OF SPIRIT ANCHORED IN OUR PHYSICAL BODIES.

THE BASE REPRESENTS THE POINTS WHEN
WE CONNECT WITH THE PHYSICAL WORLD,
WITH NATURE AND WITH OUR ENVIRONMENT.
BALANCING TO OUR PRACTICALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS
IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD. WHEN USED IN HARMONY,
THE PURE AND VIBRANT ENERGIES OF THE BASE
CHAKRA CAN ENDOW US WITH HOPE, JOY, SELF-DISCIPLINE
AND WHOLENSS. ALONG WITH THE SOULD CHAKRA,
THE BASE ALSO ENGENDERS THE ACTIVITY OF
PROCREATION.

SPIRIT VOICE!

WE CANNOT EVOLVE SPIRITUALLY WITHOUT HAVING A SECURE PHYSICAL PLATFORM. THE TWO GO HAND IN HAND. SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF OUR RELIGIOUS UPBRINGING WE HAVE THE MISTAKEN IDEA THAT SPIRIT IS GOOD AND MATTER IS BAD, OR THAT SPIRITUAL THINGS ARE GOOD BUT THE BODY IS BAD. IN REALITY, BOTH THE SPIRITUAL AND THE MATERIAL, IN THEIR HIGHEST STATE, ARE MEANT TO BE REFLECTION OF THE DIVINE.

MATTER COMES FROM THE LATIN WORD
MATER, MEANING "MOTHER. THE PHYSICAL
WORLD IS THE MOTHER BECAUSE MATTER IS
THE WOMB OR CHALICE INTO WHICH SPIRIT
DECENDS. IT ALLOWS SPIRIT TO EXPRESS
ITSELF.

GOD WANTS US TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BODY-TO
LISTEN TO WHAT OUR BODY IS TELLING US AND
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT NEEDS. EACH OF US
HAS DIFFERENT NEEDS. YOUR BEST FRIEND MAY BE
ABLE TO EAT A WONDERFULLY RICH DESSERT
AFTER LUNCH, BUT THE SAME DESSERT MIGHT
FLOOR YOU FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
SHE MAY BE ABLE TO STAY UP HALF THE NIGHT
BUT YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

CARING FOR YOURSELF BY CULTIVATING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT YOUR BODY, TAKING TIME TO GET THE NOURISHMENT, EXERCISE AND REST YOU NEED, AND GETTING GOOD ADVICE FROM HEALTH-CARE PROFESSIONALS WHEN NEEDED CAN HELP YOU GET FIT SPIRITUALLY.

AT ENERGETIC LEVELS, THE REASON IT'S IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE PHYSICAL IS THAT CONDITION OF OUR BODY DETERMINES IN PART HOW MUCH ENERGY WE ARE ABLE TO HOLD ON TO. IF YOU COULD PLUG A 120 VOLT DESK LAMP INTO A 240 VOLT OUTLET, THE LIGHT BULB WOULD BURN OUT.

LIKEWISE, GOD WON'T LET A 240 VOLT FLASH TO LIGHT POUR THROUGH YOU IF THE CHALICE OF YOUR BODY IS ONLY ABLE TO RECIEVE A 120 VOLT CHARGE OF LIGHT.

NO MATTER HOW LITTLE MONEY WE HAVE, WE CAN BE MINDFUL OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BEAUTY IN OUR HOMES, THEMORE UPLIFTED WE ARE BY OUR ENVIRONMENT, THE MORE CREATIVE AND FULFILLED WE WILL BE.

THE NATURES WEALTH!

MOST OF THE LESSONS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SEVEN ENERGYS CENTRES HAVE TO DO WITH BALANCE. WHILE WE VALUE THE MATERIAL WORLD AS A WAY TO CONCREATELY EXPRESS OUR SPIRITUALITY, OVERATTACHMENT TO THE PHYSICAL CAN TEMPT US INTO MATERIALISM.

ALL WEALTH BELONGS TO THE DIVINE AND THOSE WHO HOLD IT ARE TRUSTEES, NOT POSSESSORS.
IT IS WITH THEM TODAY, TOMORROW IT MAYBE ELSEWHERE...
IN YOUR PERSONAL USE OF MONEY, LOOK ON ALL YOU HAVE OR GET OR BRING AS THE (DIVINE) MOTHERS...
ALWAYS CONSIDER THAT IT IS HER POSSESSIONS AND NOT YOUR OWN THAT YOU ARE HANDLING.
DO NOT LOOKING UP TO MEN BECAUSE OF THEIR RICHES OR ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE IMPRESSED BY THE SHOW, THE POWER, OR THE INFLUENCE.

MOTHER NATURE

ANOTHER WAY WE ENHANCE OUR CONNECTION WITH SPIRIT AT THE LEVEL OF THE BASE CHAKRA IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR CONNECTION WITH MOTHER NATURE. THE OLD INDIAN STILL SIT UPON THE EARTH INSTEAD OF PROPPING HIMSELF UP AND AWAY FROM ITS LIFE-GIVING FORCE". BECAUSE HE IS "ABLE TO THINK MORE DEEPLY AND TO FEEL MORE KEENLY.

HOW BEAUTIFUL IS EVERYTHING GOD MAKES!
THE ENERGY OF THE BASE CHAKRA IS ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE "MOTHER LIGHT".
IN A SPIRITUALLY SYMBOLIC SENSE, THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE, IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BASE CHAKRA, REPRESENTS THE FEMININE (OR MOTHER) PRINCIPLE OF GOD.
THE SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE REPRESENTS THE MASCULINE (OR FATHER) PRINCIPLE.
IF YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR VITALITY AND, WASTE IT ARBITRARILY, THAT IS LIKE PUTTING WATER INTO A LEAKING CUP.

VITALITY. EVERYBODY WANTS IT, BUT IN TODAY'S COMPLEX AND STRESSFUL WORLD FEW OF US KNOW HOW TO CAPTURE IT-AND KEEP IT. THAT'S BECAUSE REAL VITALITY IS MORE THAN A MATTER OF GOOD SLEEP, VITAMINS AND PUMPING IRON. REAL VITALITY IS PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL.

SPIRITUAL TECHNIQUE

AFFIRMATION FOR FORGIVENESS

IN THOSE MOMENTS JUST BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LET THE EVENTS OF THE DAY PASS BEFORE YOU LIKE A MOVIE. CALL TO MIND THE PEOPLE WHO NEED YOUR LOVE AND FORGIVENESS. ASK GOD TO FORGIVE THEM AND TO FORGIVE YOU.

THEN SEEN VIOLET LIGHT, WHICH IS THE NATIVE LIGHT OF THE SOUL CHAKRA, PASSING THROUGH THESE SENSES. SEE THIS LIGHT VIOLET LIGHT TURN INTO INTENSE FLAMES OF VIOLET. WATCH THESE FLAMES NEUTRALIZE THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF THE DAY'S EVENTS.

AS YOU GIVE THE FOLLOWING AFFIRMATION,
FOCUS YOUR ATTENSION ON YOUR HEART.
SEND LOVE AND FORGIVENESS TO ALL THOSE
YOU HAVE WRONGED AND ALL WHO HAVE
WRONGED YOU, RELEASING THE SITUATIONS
INTO GOD'S HANDS. YOU CAN REPEAT THIS
AFFIRMATION AS MANY TIMES AS YOU FEEL
THE NEED TO.

FORGIVENESS

I AM FOREGIVENESS ACTING HERE,
CASTING OUT ALL DOUBT AND FEAR,
SETTING MEN FOREVER FREE
WITH WINGS OF COSMIC VICTORY.

I AM CALLING IN FULL POWER,
FOR FORGIVENESS EVERY HOUR,
TO ALL LIFE IN EVERY PLACE
I FOOD FORTH FORGIVING GRACE.

THIS CHAKRA IS ALSO THE POINT WHERE WE MAKE CONTACT WITH OUR SOUL AND RECEIVE HER IMPRESSIONS AND GUIDANCE. OUR SOUL IS WISE AND CAN GIVE US MUCH INNER DIRECTION.

GUIDANCE FROM GOD!

WE ALL HAVE SOULD POWERS.
WHEN YOU HAVE A GUT FEELINGS ABOUT SOMEONE, YOU ARE RECEIVING AN INSTANTANEUOUS SOUL IMPRESSION.
SOMETIMES YOUR SOUL WILL GIVE YOU WARNING, "IT'S PART OF YOUR INTERNAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM.
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THESE IMPRESSION AND INTUITIONS ARE ACCURATE.
THE MORE OUR SOUL IS IN TOUCH WITH HER TRUE, SPIRITUAL NATURE, THE MORE SENSITIVE AND ACCURATE THESE READING WILL BE.
THE MORE OUR SOUL IS ATTACHED TO THE HUMAN EGO, THE UNREAL SELF, THE LESS CLEAR THESE READINGS WILL BE.
THE POWER OF PROCREATION IN MAN AND WOMAN ARE ANCHORED THROUGH THE SOUL CHAKRA.
THE SEED AND THE EGG PASS ON PHYSICAL AND KARMIC PATTERNS THROUGH THE GENES AND CHROMOSOMES.
THEY ALSO PASS ON THE SPIRITUAL MATRIX OF OUR IDENTITY-OUR SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE.

THE MAIN CONDITION
FOR PREGRESS IS HONETLY
WITH ONESELF.

HUMAN EGO!

WHEN WE ARE A SPIRITUAL PATH,
WE DISCOVER THAT THE GREATEST
CHALLENGES COME NOT FROM
WITHOUT BUT FROM WITHIN. AS
THE CARTOON CHARACTER POGO
ONCE SAID, WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY-
AND THEY IS US!

THE ROAD TO SELF-MASTERY IS A CONTINUAL
PROCESS OF SELF-EXAMINATION. WE MUST HAVE
THE COURAGE TO EXPLORE HOW MUCH OF OUR
IDENTITY IS INVESTED IN OUR TRUE,
DIVINE NATURE AND HOW MUCH IS INVESTED IN
OUR LOWER NATURE, OUR HUMAN EGO.

WHEN WE GO THROUGH PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL TRAUMA, WE DON'T JUST FEEL IT IN OUR BODY OR IN OUR EMOTIONS, WE FEEL IT IN OUR SOUL AS WELL.
TO PROTECT HERSELF AND ALLEVIATE HER PAIN, THE WOUNDED SOULD DEVELOPS CERTAIN BEHAVIORS, DEFENCE, MECHANISM, THAT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT SUBSEQUENT RELATIONSHIPS IN HER LIFE, INHIBIT THE DEVELOPEMENT OR HER TRUE SELF, AND CREATE A BLOCKAGE IN THE BODY'S ENERGY SYSTEM.
WE ALL HAVE SOME ENERGY TIED UP IN PATTERNS THAT ARE NOT HEALTHY FOR US.
WHEN WE HEAL THE WOUNDED PART OF OUR SOUL, WE CAN LIBERATE THIS ENERGY TO USE IN THE HERE NOW.
MOMENT BY MOMENT WE CREATE.
WHATEVER WE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION "WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY ENERGY TODAY?
IS OUR DAY'S CREATION.
OUR THOUGHTS, WORDS, ACTION AND FEELINGS ARE OUR CREATIONS.
WHEN WE ARE ON A SPIRITUAL PATH WE REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE CREATIONS AND WE TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE IMPACT OUR THOUGHTS, WORDS AND DEEDS HAVE NO OTHERS.

THE INTELLECT CANNOT TAKE THE PLACE OF OUR SOUL. THAT IS WHY THE EDUCATION OF THE HEART AND SOUL IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE EDUCATION OF OUR MIND. TO CREATE A SAFE HARBOR FOR THE SOUL, WE SOMETIMES HAVE TO TURN OFF THE INTELLECT AND CONSCIOUSLY ENTER INTO THE HEART AND SOUL TO GET IN TOUCH WITH OUR INNER CREATIVE SELF.

THE CHAKRAS ARE POINTS OF CONTACT WITH
DIMENSIOS OF OUR BEING BEYOND THE PHYSICAL.
THEY ARE COORDINATES, SO TO SPEAK, OF SPIRIT
RIGHT WITHIN OUR OWN BODIES.

OUR BODY'S SEVEN CHAKRAS ARE THE
GATEWAYS TO THAT SPIRITUAL SELF.
WHEN WE UNDERTAND HOW THESE
CENTERS WORK, WE CAN WORK WITH
THEM TO BRING OUR BODY, MIND
AND EMOTIONS BACK INTO BALANCE
WITH OUR TRUE NATURE.

WHEELS OF LIFE

THE WORD CHAKRA IS SANSKRIT FOR "WHEEL" OR DISC, EACH CHAKRA IS SYMBOLICALLY DEPENDS AS A LOTUS THAT HAS A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PETALS. THE MORE PETALS THE CHAKRA HAS, THE HIGHER ITS FREQUENCY OR VIBRATION. THE ANCIENT SAGES TAUGHT THAT THE PRIMAL SPIRITUAL LIFE-FORCE IS SEALED WITHIN THE CHAKRA THAT IS LOCATED AS THE BASE OF THE SPINE.

THE SCIENCE OF
ENERGY FLOW

ALL OF LIFE IS ENERGY. THE MYSTICS EVEN DEFINED GOD AS LIGHT, AS ENERGY AND AS THE FLOW OF THAT LIGHT AND ENERGY. WHEN WE USE ENERGY TO THINK, FEEL OR ACT IN WAYS THAT ARE POSITIVE, WE ATTRACT TO OURSELVES MORE OF THAT POSITIVE ENERGY, AS IF WE WERE PRIMING THE PUMP. WHEN WE MOLD THAT ARE NOT TRUE TO OUR INNER NATURE, WE CREATE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL TOXINS THAT BLOCK ENERGY FLOW.

CHAKRAS COLORS AND
ENERGY!

THE COLORS OF THE CHAKRAS GIVEN REPRESENT HOW THESE VIBRANT VOTICES OF LIGHT WOULD APPEAR AT SPIRITUAL LEVELS IF THEY WERE WORKING AT PEAK PERFORMANCES.
WE HAVE FOUND IT IMPORTANT WHEN MEDITATING ON THE CHAKRAS TO CONCENTRATE ON THE PURE, ORIGINAL COLORS PATTERNS.
FINALLY, THERE IS NO MAGIC FORMULA TO VITALIZE YOUR ENERGY CENTERS.
THE BEAUTY OF LIFE IS THAT EACH OF US IS SPECTACULARLY UNIQUE.
LIKE ALCHEMISTS OF THE SPIRIT, IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE THE TOOLS IN HAND AND EXPERIMENT WITHIN THE LABORATORY OF SELF.
FORTUNATELY FOR US, PERSONAL GROWTH IS A CREATIVE PROCESS AND A SACRED ADVENTURE.
