Namaste!
The middle
of the year is approaching and with it, mid-Winter in the Southern hemisphere
too. It is the season to step back and re-assess situations. Mother Nature
teaches us valuable lessons if only we would take time off our busy schedules
to observe and learn from the different seasons. Each one mirrors different
stages in our lives and although Nature takes its time to do everything it must
do, all is accomplished in due time. No task is ever rushed, yet all is
accomplished.
Take the
time to reflect on lessons that the school of life brings you and you will
certainly benefit from each and every one.
Coping with
stress can weigh heavily unless measures are taken to minimise its effects,
such as the following visualisation exercise:
Cultivate
detachment – a sense of being in the world, but not of it. Visualise yourself in a thick bubble from
which you can observe the world going about its business while you remain centred
even in the midst of chaos. In this way you will strengthen the aura of energy
around yourself, which in turn will lessen the effects of any negative energy
emanating from other people. Doing this creates a sacred space in which to take
a breath and conserve your vital energy.
Practice
this when you feel that your peace of mind is being threatened by others and
you will find that your personal power increases as well as your protection
field becoming stronger and more effective in repelling lower, more dense
vibrations.
Moonstone
Emotional Healing Energy
Moonstone has long been known for its
calming, soothing qualities on the emotional body. Its energy is balancing and
healing, assisting in the mastery of emotions by bringing them under the
control of Higher Will, rather than expressing or repressing them. It also
helps identify emotional patterns that are stored in the subconscious, and
serves as a guardian to contain explosive passions, and to stimulate confidence
and composure. Moonstones can be placed at the center of the chin (the Moon Center)
to create this balance.
Moonstone bestows a depth of feeling, a
gentleness within the self that brings happiness to the environment in which it
resides. Associated with the feminine, it enhances the intuitive side of the
mind. To women, Moonstone reveals their feminine power and abilities of
clairvoyance, and gives rise to the kundalini energy. Moonstone helps men
become more in-tune with the feminine aspects of their nature, and stimulates
the right side of the brain, encouraging nonlinear thinking and emotional
balance.
Moonstone is especially calming to
children. It soothes those away from home at night, drives away nightmares and
encourages sleep. It is also used to treat sleepwalking.
Visualization for Self-Healing
This can be a powerful therapeutic
technique. It is a way of creating a visual form of affirmation.
The network of consciousness allows you
to contact any part or parts of your body and it responds to your communication
with it in unexpected ways. The body has innate healing potential which will
operate at all times unless we intervene in some way, such as via a negative
mental message. This potential is a function of the balancing force in all the
living cells of your body. If something is damaged, the cells will immediately
set about repairing the damage. You may assist this process by using
visualisations and you will find that your body’s response to them is extremely
positive.
Use the following exercise when you
have had an operation and you wish to enhance your body’s potential to heal.
- Settle yourself as comfortably as you
can and relax the body and mind. Breathe gently and normally.
- Allow your mind to focus on the injured
part and send it loving thoughts. See the cells of the organs and tissues all
being activated to carry out the healing as quickly as possible. See the blood
bringing all the nourishing materials that the cells need to do their work.
- If you feel impressed to flood the area
with a colour, see the light covering the area, aiding the processes involved.
- Continue with this visualisation for as
long as you wish. Let your intuition guide you to add anything else that is
required. Let the injured part tell you when the healing is complete. Give
thanks for the healing.
If
necessary repeat the visualisation. You are bringing in extra help to join your
body in the healing process. Make sure your thoughts are linked to this process
in a positive way.
