The energy in the room started intensifying and intensifying.

Turned out Catherine is a seriously talented medium. All of a sudden, she is telling me the room is becoming crowded with everyone’s Guides and Angels.

SHE IS SEEING THEM!

“Omg,” she whispers. “It is so beautiful!”

The energy felt off the charts.

What happened next?

First you need to understand the Gamalghoom. (I love their Dr. Seuss name!)

Who are the Gamalghoom?

While I meditate with Melchizedek every morning for a metta-meditation, I also meditate with the Gamalghooms mid-day and often at night. The Gamalghoom are universally famous energy healers in the Spiritual realm, Angel beings, meaning they have never had an incarnation. (I once asked them if they ever wanted to experience the physical plane and they fell over laughing. Like, what a crazy question.) The Gamalghoom have taught me about our physical and etheric energy systems, the connection of the physical, emotional and etheric bodies, how disease and injury manifest there, how these energy systems conduct and hold the light, and how shadow effects the whole.

I have witnessed the miracle of the Gamalghoom transmuting shadow energy many times and wow, is it powerful. I often take people up to meet the Gamalghoom and these generous beings clean their auric fields.

The Gamalghoom say it is their greatest joy to help us.

Melchizedek and the Gamalghoom

That magical day Catherine suddenly asked, “And who is that above you? The Gamalghoom?”

My heart sang. The Gamalghoom were there with Melchizedek.

One of the most powerful attunements ever…

I have only heard Melchizedek speak a few times—like most of us students of the Guides, I experience our Guides energetically--but one of the times I heard them was not long afterwards, during an intense meditation, I said, “I love the Gamalghoom.”

I heard clear as a bell, Melchizedek answer. In a tone of, like duh! “Everyone loves the Gamalghoom.” HAHAHA.

The next time I was in the room while Paul channeled the Guides, I felt the Gamalghoom presence.

Excited, I asked, “Are you here? Are you with us?”

I felt an explosion of electric energy rush through my body in answer.

Melchizedek said to the whole room, “During this session, your auric fields are going to get a cleaning.”

The Invitation

Now I have learned to ask the Gamalghoom to join us for our weekly pranayama and Metta-meditation practice.

And once again when I asked Melchizedek how I can improve our metta-meditations, they said clear as a bell, “Invite more people.”

So here I am.

Sunday morning at 9 AM PT time. Like the best things in life, this is free.

And finally, here is a description of the metta-meditation: (You can do on your own—it is very powerful. Just word through the Guides when you start and ask them to facilitate this beautiful and scared practice/)

Remember LOVE LOTS!

...I have been both a speed reader and a voracious reader, consuming books with wide-eyed wonder and pleasure. I don’t mean this unkindly, but I used to assume the reason people treasured the Bible was simply because they hadn’t read much else.

Compared to Shakespeare, Dickens, and any number of great writers and their books, the Bible seemed ancient and—rather than timeless—hopelessly outdated. There were a few spots of illumination and poetry, but otherwise it didn’t seem especially well written.

Most of all, like the Bhagavad Gita and even Homer’s Odyssey, Bible stories seemed frankly ridiculous. (The exception is Noah’s Ark, which I has the bones of a great I rewrote from the hilarious perspective of the animals.)

Storytelling has evolved in the last two thousand years.

Then Something Changed

I only began to comprehend the spell the Bible casts on its readers when the doors to the spiritual realm opened and I started understanding consciousness and how it works.

Give any text to a million people.

Tell these people—with comical certitude—that it is the inerrant Word of God.

Invite them to study this text and mine it for nuggets of otherworldly wisdom.

The result will be a mind-blowing phenomenon.

The power of the Bible grows with each and every consciousness connecting to it in this way. Belief shapes reality. Over the centuries, as more people were told that the Bible was the only Word of God, the more this became true for people.

It is the same for the Koran. Most Muslims understand that you might be a Christian or Jewish until… you’ve read the Koran in its original Arabic. Then everyone recognizes a profound beauty that could have only come from God.

The Shakespearean Canon

From a writer’s perspective, the wealth of Shakespeare’s talent always seemed otherworldly.

It is impossible that these rich, gorgeous texts—shining an incandescent wisdom on our human condition—emerged from a mere mortal walking here on Earth.

No holy text comes close to the light that is the works of Shakespeare.

Seth said that all great talent is accumulated over many lifetimes. (This is why, if you want to learn the piano or plant medicine at age eighty, your lessons will not be wasted.) At first, I thought this explained Shakespeare. But no.

Even a hundred lifetimes of accumulated talent could not explain the magic found in Shakespeare’s legacy of textual riches.

That’s when I realized the obvious.

Shakespeare’s canon is channeled material from very High Light.

Shakespeare was as clear a channel as Paul Selig, who channels the Guides Melchizedek, or Jane Roberts, who channeled Seth. I wonder if he knew he was a channel—or if the Divine flow from his pen to paper appeared as mysterious to him as it does to the centuries of scholars studying these words.

Interestingly, I was recently told that Shakespeare’s canon was intended to lift humanity from the distortions woven into Christianity and the other Abrahamic religions: Islam and Judaism.

What Are These Distortions?

There is only one path to God.

Hahaha. Crazy, right?

God is All That Is. God is the energy of creation. God is love. God is the emanating force of consciousness.

Every individual has their own path up. And when this path is viewed from above, it becomes an incandescent work of art. Like Shakespeare’s plays.

Heaven is reserved only for people who adhere to this or that belief.

And when you examine these beliefs, you see how limiting they are—designed with the sole purpose of keeping you small and, more often than not, afraid. As if the powers orchestrating mischief on Earth did not want you to know that you are an eternal soul. That there is no end to your existence.

“Heaven” is multidimensional. Mother Earth, this physical plane, has an incomprehensible vastness and complexity; it exists inside an infinitely more complex Spiritual Realm. In this realm, All That Is includes all people and trillions of other kinds of beings, existing throughout all time.

That hell exists anywhere but in an individual’s mind.

Hell is a concept developed long ago by deeply religious people desperate to convey to average folks what it is like to live without a felt connection to God/Source Light.

The worst thing they could think of was a consuming fire. The idea of hell was born. And this dumb and destructive playground for fear is, unbelievably, still perpetuated to this day.

That sin exists anywhere but in an individual’s mind.

The punishment of sin has always been the sin itself—and the way it separates you from God/Source Light. God/Source does not punish people for sins. God/Source is infinitely… ah, bigger than that.

Shakespeare’s Spiritual Wisdom

Spiritual wisdom is prodigiously littered throughout Shakespeare’s sonnets and plays.

Just for fun, I asked AIs for their favorites. Here are some of the ones that jumped out at me.

1. On Prayer: Words Without Heart

My words fly up, my thoughts remain below.
Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
—Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3

Authentic prayer requires alignment. If your heart isn’t in it, the words don’t travel. And something we’ve all witnessed—performative spirituality is empty. (Don’t make me name names…)

2. On Love: The One That Never Wavers

Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
—Sonnet 116

True love is not transactional. It is a transformational spiritual teacher. Sonnet 116 is an ode to the power of Metta meditation. Love and its transformational power do not depend on the receiver’s behavior.

👉 A Life-Changing Metta Meditation Practice

3. On the Soul: The “Sinful Earth”

Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth,
Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth,
Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?
—Sonnet 146

Why do we lavish so much attention on the fleeting pleasures of the material realm? All the while, our soul itself is starving. The sonnet concludes that by reversing this, we transcend death itself:

And Death once dead, there’s no more dying then.

Of course, in their great wisdom, Melchizedek reminded us that while we are here on the physical plane, we should not forget its pleasures:

Lying in the arms of a lover. Bathing in a warm sea. The taste of a strawberry.

We do not need to reject the material world, but rather experience it more fully without forgetting what we are.

4. On Mercy: The Quality That Blesses Both Giver and Receiver

The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
—The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1

Again, the power of Metta meditation. The idea that what you bless blesses you back. Blessing other people changes your consciousness. It alters your light.

👉 A Blessing for You and the World

5. On Virtue Over Vengeance

The rarer action is
In virtue than in vengeance: they being penitent,
The sole drift of my purpose doth extend
Not a frown further.
—The Tempest, Act 5, Scene 1

Forgiveness is the highest form of power, but we only discover the gifts of forgiveness by exercising it.

6. On the Nature of Self-Knowledge

To thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
—Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3

The endless positive repercussions of authenticity. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard people restrict themselves, make themselves small, for fear of what other people might think of them. Time and again, I’ve pointed out that you imagine people are thinking about you, but they are really wondering what they will have for dinner.

7. On the Mystery of Reality

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
—Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 5

Reality is far greater than what our minds can comprehend. Exactly!

8. On the Fleeting Nature of Life

“We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
—The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1

Our physical existence is fleeting. Perhaps that is not something to fear. Perhaps it is what makes this strange, beautiful experience of being alive so precious.

9. On the Gifts of Adversity

“Sweet are the uses of adversity.”
—As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 1

Planet Earth is a great school when you understand that each and every adversity is your teacher.

Shakespeare continues to open doors. Doors into love, mercy, the magnificent mystery surrounding us.

And that is what great spiritual writing does.

1. You are an eternal being. There will never be an end to your existence.

Go ahead. Try to wrap your mind around how immense and expansive your soul is to be journeying through eternity. I’ve tried many times to imagine this and failed, but it is fun and enlightening to try.

2. Reality is created by consciousness. It is made up, and you are making it up.

3. You are a fantastic, mind-bogglingly complex energy system that creates the illusion of a body moving in the illusion of a physical existence.

Fundamental Understandings:

1. When you transition, this life will seem to have transpired in a blink of an eye. It will all seem like a dream.

2. When you arrive on the school called Planet Earth and begin playing the game, you remember NOTHING.

The following are the three most important things you forget:

a. You have no knowledge of God/Source light.

b. No memory of the hundreds of angels, light beings, and souls who love you more than, indeed, you can ever know—and they are rooting for you big time. They are also waiting for you to ask for their help, and I have been told that helping you is their greatest joy.

c. You have no memory of your intention, your purpose, the point of this particular life.

You start with a blank slate and go merrily off into an unknown future created by your thoughts, emotions (please to God, let this be love), and your beliefs.

Collective Reality

Once again, Mother Earth is also a High Light Being, very close to God/Source light. She agreed to incarnate as our beautiful blue-green planet in order to provide us with these incredible physical existences. This incarnation is one of the highest expressions of love—love for humanity and all the other beings existing in her light.

Let’s take a moment to connect to the impossible complexity of Mother Earth. Think of a single leaf on a plant. It holds billions upon billions of chemical reactions in any given moment. As does a tree; an octopus; an elephant’s eye; the ocean itself. (All this complexity exists inside of the infinitely—emphasis on infinity, meaning without end—more complex Spiritual Realm.) Our consciousness interacts with Mother Earth’s light body to create the manifestation of… nature.

The Spiritual number 108 reveals the design intelligence in EVERY detail on Earth:

• It is the number of working chakras in the human energy system

• The distance between the earth and the sun is 108 times the diameter of the sun.

• The distance between the earth and the moon is 108 times the diameter of the moon.

• The diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the earth.

• Multiplying the 12 signs of the zodiac (astrological houses) by the 9 planets and we reach 108

Creation of Mass Events

You are also participating in and contributing to a collective reality. Just as it does with your personal reality, your every thought, emotion, and belief contributes to the creation of the wider world we live in.

The future is being created by each and every thought, feeling, and emotion we have. By every choice we make. If all one hundred people going to a party thought, This is going to be epic! The best night of my life! Woohoo, let’s have some fun —the gathering would be… memorable.

A world where we all think our country is doomed, that we are headed downhill and falling fast, is creating a very different future than one where everyone appraises our mistakes and thinks we can do better—that by rolling up our sleeves and working together, we can create a bright and beautiful future for our children.

One of Many Examples in The Nature of Mass Events

In The Nature of Mass Events (channeled by Jane Roberts in the 1980s), Seth, a very high-level light being, explained what would happen in the latter part of the second decade of the next century. He said there would be a precipitating event that would distress half the population. This turned out to be the election of Trump to the presidency of the USA. He said there would be a mass protest. This turned out to be the Women’s March, the largest mass protest the world had ever seen. He explained that if the powers that be ignored the distress of over half of the population, it would be followed by a pandemic. COVID arrived in 2020.

I was planning a trip with Alicia Power in the summer of 2019. We were going to meet in Paris. As we were making these plans, her Guides zoomed in and informed us (ominously) that no one would be flying in 2020 and we would not make it to Paris. We could not imagine what was to happen, and we let it go.

Then I remember reading about a virus emerging in China that December… and I knew then.

Seth went on to mention that people would become further divided during this time over the efficacy of vaccines and he presented his readers with the simplest formula to adjudicate this issue, and it serves as a broad metaphor for us to ponder:

If you believe vaccines help you, shoot up. If you believe they hurt you, for heaven’s sake, do not get a vaccine.

Think positive. It matters more than we can know.

Most of us find it difficult—and sometimes impossible—to grasp this simple truth.

Mother Earth is a Spirit Being, very close to God/Source light. She incarnated as our beautiful planet—an immensely complex energy system. No human mind can grasp even a tiny portion of this complexity: imagine the molecular dynamism in a redwood tree, an ocean wave, a pebble, all orchestrated by a great conscious intelligence.

Your consciousness interacts with Mother Earth’s energy system to create the fantastic holographic experience of physicality. If you can, imagine Mother Earth’s incarnation as our beautiful blue-green orb is the highest act of love, whose purpose is multidimensional and includes gracing you and all the other beings held in her light these incredible physical experiences.

Now think of your physical experience on Earth as a game you are playing. (The person with the most love wins.)

Everything that shows up in your field is your teacher. From a dying worm on the sidewalk to an angel at a deathbed. This one truth is so profound, a library of books would not cover all the ramifications, but let’s land on this deceptively simple statement. There is nothing in your life that you experience that is not a teacher; there are no accidents.

If you find this hard to believe, you are not alone. The vast majority of us on planet Earth have absolutely no idea this is the game we are playing. Yet… we are still participating in the game.

The Traffic Lesson

I once heard a person challenge this truth before Daryl Anka’s Bashar—a channeled ET who himself draws upon the experience of a thousand or more incarnations and who perceives much deeper layers of reality. A person asked what lessons are to be found in being stuck in traffic.

Bashar began listing them:

• How to control your body’s physical response

• How to manipulate your body’s physical response to alter the experience of being “stuck” in traffic

• How your thoughts participate and then shape and create this experience

• The astonishing hidden profundity of your relationship to the other souls sharing this experience (this alone was mind-blowing)

• The symbolic metaphor the experience is showing you, if you dare examine it.

This was just a partial list of how being “stuck in traffic” is a teacher bearing gifts.

Finding Your Themes

Your life has themes. Contemplating (exhaustively) this topic is hugely rewarded. It leads to the recognition of your soul’s intention for this incarnation.

Does this theme still arrive as an obstacle, or have you transformed it to a stepping stone?

I began understanding the depth of this learning tool—that everything that appears in your life is a teacher bearing gifts—during the tumultuous year I lost first my husband John and then our son Jonpaul, the two brightest lights in my life. As I was weighted in grief and the years following, where all I could do was write about them, my whole world and experience changed.

First of all, the doors to the spiritual realm opened. Opened to what, you might ask?

Our greater reality.

Grief as Teacher

Right from the start Spirit began displaying the universality of grief passages. It seemed like every day I met another person who had just lost a loved one, a person who needed to share their story as much as I needed to hear it. If this were just one or two people, it might be seen as chance, but during the first three years after John and Jonpaul’s passing, I met a hundred or more people, who like me, just lost the person they loved most life.

Because grief is a story of love, and every love story is unique, every person’s grief passage was designed just for them. Each person I met not only taught me a different aspect of loss, but each encounter grew my compassion.

I could write a book about these people.

Spirit’s Humor

Of course, our experience here is not often or even usually sad. Often you come to see it is mostly hilarious, especially when you start to grasp that each and everything in your field is a teacher in disguise. Spirit still has fun using homeless people (often angels in disguise) as teaching props to deliver encouragement when I need it most.

One time I was finishing a novel in Starbucks. Intensely focused. Anxious to get it right. Coffee at the side, fingers on the keyboard, I barely noticed the old lady until she stood directly in front of me.

“Excuse me,” she beckoned.

I looked up to see a short, obese older woman. She wore a stained blue tent-like dress, covered in an old gray sweater. Large feet spilled from grimy, worn orthopedic sneakers. A halo made of gray, electrified hair framed a huge smile, one revealing a missing front tooth.

And the most beautiful, sparkling blue eyes I have ever seen.

“Can I borrow your paper?”

The eyes were mesmerizing, and trying to make sense of her unlikely appearance, it took me a moment. “Sure,” I said.

“I’m looking for a coupon for our church group,” she explained.

For the clueless among us, Spirit’s disguises always mention church or God or both. She took the stack of papers under arm, the comical smile hinting at a secret amusement, as if we shared a delicious secret.

“God bless!”

This last was said, I swear to God, with supernatural enthusiasm.

She made no move to leave though and instead kept staring at me.

A giddy kind of joy bubbled up inside—an inexplicable response to the eccentric old lady. “No problem,” I said.

Then she leaned toward me and said, “I bet you’re a wonderful writer.”

I absorbed these words. “Well… I… I try—”

“I knew it,” she interrupted, triumphantly. “I just knew it!”

And with that, she rushed out the door and disappeared.

I looked around the busy café to see if anyone else noticed what just happened.

But no one did notice, because, you see, we are each staring in our own amazing movie.

It reduces the negative physical reactions tied to modern life, such as high blood pressure, inflammation (the root of all illness and disease), and elevated stress hormones. Pranayama also increases positive brain chemicals, and when done correctly, it can flood the body with a powerful sense of euphoria.

Another significant physical benefit: as we age, we lose lung capacity and function—about 10% every decade after age fifty. Many scientists believe this decline fuels aging. The simplest exercises completely reverse this trend.

One of the most critical benefits of pranayama is its ability to rev up the immune system. A daily pranayama practice practically guarantees no more flus or colds. I had COVID three times early on in the pandemic, but because of my daily pranayama practice, I never had any symptoms.

The wonderful book Breath by James Nestor outlines extensive research on the physical benefits of pranayama. One notable study, conducted in Denmark (as it could never be done in the U.S.), involved 100 participants. Half were taught the Wim Hof method of over-breathing and practiced twice daily for two weeks, while the other half (the control group) received no training. Then, all participants were injected with E. coli.

Every person in the control group developed symptoms—ranging from mild to severe. Not one person in the breathing group showed any symptoms.

In general, pranayama offers physical benefits comparable, and in some respects superior, to strenuous exercise.

When practiced daily, pranayama has the magical ability to make us aware of negative thoughts. Since reality is shaped by our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, nothing is more potent than cultivating positivity. Conscious breathing, with practice, banishes anxiety and negative thoughts, helping you become more aware of how your thoughts and emotions shape your reality.

A Deeper Reason to Practice

There’s an even more profound reason to practice pranayama: it alerts your consciousness to a shift, and your energy field settles.

I’ve been told that we normally appear as moving blobs of colorful energy—and if shrouded in negativity, blobs of gray energy. During and after pranayama, your auric field settles, making it easier for your Guides to read. Your Guides can then identify where you need help and deliver it.

Five Powerful Pranayama Practices

Before starting any meditation practice, begin with this prayer of protection:

The light of God surrounds me;

The love of God enfolds me;

The power of God protects me;

The spirit of God watches over me;

Wherever I am, God is, God is, God is.

General Instructions for All Breath Practices:

Sit up straight to allow your light to pour through your crown chakra and into your auric field. Relax your shoulders and the muscles of your face.

1. Fire Breath

Can be practiced sitting or lying down.

• Set a timer for one minute.

• Keeping your mouth closed, inhale rapidly and deeply through your nostrils, then exhale rapidly.

• Keep your abdomen slightly tucked. Bonus: Lift your pelvic floor to force energy up your spinal column and opening your chakras.

• At the end of the minute, take a deep inhale and hold until you feel the first hint of discomfort. Relax into the retention.

• Feel the power of the breath by its absence.

• Return to normal breathing.

• Repeat twice more. On the second round, exhale and hold. On the third, choose between inhale retention (antara kumbhaka) or exhale retention (bahya kumbhaka).

Inhale retention is more energizing, stretching the lungs and pulling energy into the body.

Exhale retention is more calming. Most people develop a preference, but both offer similar benefits.

2. Lion’s Breath (Excellent for the immune system)

• Open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue as far as possible, and gaze at the tip of your nose (to open the third eye chakra) or close your eyes.

• Lift your abdomen. Bonus: Tighten your pelvic floor.

• Take 21 deep breaths.

• Relax your mouth. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth (to open the energy channel reaching into the crown chakra), and take 21 more deep breaths.

• On an inhale, hold your breath. Relax into the retention, stretching it as long as possible.

• Return to normal breathing.

• Repeat twice more.

3. Alternate Nostril Breathing

Sit up for this practice.

• Keep your spine straight and shoulders relaxed.

• Close your mouth.

• Use your right hand: extend your thumb and pinky, folding the other three fingers into your palm.

• Gently close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale through the left.

• Close your left nostril with your pinky and exhale through the right.

• Repeat nine times, tracing an inverted horseshoe path with your breath.

• On a deep inhale through both nostrils, hold your breath. Relax into the retention.

• Repeat twice more.

Variation: Take three deep inhales and exhales through each nostril in turn. Repeat nine times, then hold your breath on a deep inhale.

4. Box Breath

• Sit up straight, relax your shoulders, and slightly lift your abdomen. Bonus: Tighten your pelvic floor.

• Set a timer for five minutes.

• Inhale for a count of four, hold for four, exhale for four, and hold for four.

• If your mind wanders, gently return it to the sound of your breath.

• At the end of five minutes, take a deep inhale and hold. Relax into the retention.

• Return to normal breathing.

Variation: Experiment with counts of five, six, seven, or eight.

5. Over-Breathing

Sitting up straight or lying down.

• Set a timer for three minutes.

• Keep your mouth closed. Take deep inhales and quick exhales, feeling your lungs expand with each breath.

• If your mind wanders, return it to the sound of your breathing.

• At the end of three minutes, take a deep inhale and hold. Relax into the retention.

• Return to normal breathing.

• Repeat twice more.

During retention, you may feel pockets of inflammation in your body. Visualize love as white light flowing into these areas.

You arrived here with at least one soul intention—what your soul hopes to achieve by creating this life. If all goes well and you are walking a path forged by this lofty ambition, this life will result in you holding more and higher light and love.

Your soul’s intention almost always involves exercising your soul’s gift.

What Is Your Soul’s Gift?

Every soul arrives on earth with a gift. This potential soul expression is a talent, a strong preference, or an orientation that teaches you while bringing joy and love. It moves you closer to the light. Indeed, your gift is specifically designed to activate your connection to God.

Soul’s gifts come in all shapes and sizes:

• A mathematical or other intellectual gift

• An unusually deep well of compassion that graces you with extraordinary kindness and presence

• A talent to heal, help, or uplift

• The God-given ability to make others laugh

• A green thumb

• A great love for animals or a powerful connection to nature—this passion often shows up as an obsessional interest in a specific manifestation of nature: a type of plant, animal species, a geographical location, or a particular science

• Many people arrive here to be our teachers, and teaching is a high soul gift

  

Many soul gifts arrive in an enjoyment, passion, or love of art: painting, writing, sculpting, other crafts, or music. Whether we are enjoying or making it, art connects us to the light. The only thing that connects us more to the light is helping.

A Simple Exercise

If you are not practicing any art now as an adult, I invite you to do this simple exercise:

1. Do ten minutes of conscious breathing. Conscious breathing settles your auric field and allows your Guides to better help you.

👉 Pranayama: Breathing Exercises

2. Connect to your Guides.

👉 Three: Meet Your Spirit Guides

3. Find a memory of a connection to an art form in your childhood. If nothing comes to mind immediately, stay here. I promise a memory will emerge that directs you to your interest.

4. How and why was this connection squashed?

5. Imagine stepping back into exploring this art form.

6. What would be the first step?

7. Taking this initial step will be amply rewarded, I promise.

Why This Matters

You will always be happiest when you are exercising your soul’s gift.

I am also told that any talent you develop in this life will be available in other lives if you choose, and that most very talented people have accumulated their talent over many lifetimes. Say you love belting out opera, but a gig at the Met is not in the cards in this life—you are well served to exercise this passion and grow it. Each soul has a bank account that holds all the talent developed during their lives.

This is a wonderful and important consideration.

In other words, say you are 80-plus years old and you think, I am too old to take up the study of Egyptian art (or drumming, or cultural dancing). You would be wrong.

For Parents and Grandparents

During meditation or after conscious breathing, ask the child’s Guides and your own to be shown the child’s soul’s gift. So when it shows up—a longing for piano lessons, a love of drawing, an abundance of laughter—you recognize it and can encourage your child in this area, whatever it might be.

Every event, thing, and each and every person and animal in your life was chosen. Chosen by you. For your soul’s evolution. You are on the school of Planet Earth.

There are no accidents here.

This is especially true for any problem that shows up in your life.

Think of a problem in your life and now recognize that you chose this exact problem. Even the most difficult traumas were agreed upon. This exact difficulty or set back you are currently facing is an invitation to learn and grow your soul by transcending it, by eliminating it.

All difficulties are an invitation to discover how you manifest reality and how to eliminate or transcend the problem.

If you do not accept the first invitation, you will be presented with a flashier invitation; you will soon discover a bigger and more troubling problem.

Flashier Invitations

Flashier invitations most often arrive in the form of a physical problem or health challenge. This occurs when consciously acknowledging the problem is too painful. You literally feel as if you cannot bear the emotional weight of the difficulty.

For instance, out of billions of examples, here is one from my correspondence just this morning:

Gary loves his wife Shelly dearly. Shelly has an adult son with vague but significant mental problems that prevent him from independent living. Gary deeply resents supporting his wife’s adult, able bodied son. Yet he knows how much Shelly loves this young man; Gary understands both Shelly’s helplessness and worry. He knows that if he shares his emotions, it will devastate Shelly.

Gary suddenly developed serious back problems.

All physical ailments are caused by emotional pain that we cannot face.

People manifest health challenges to avoid looking at the greater pain. Even chronic physical pain becomes the easier choice.

How to Overcome the Boulder Blocking Your Path

1. Connect to the love of God/Source.

All healing takes place in love. You cannot heal without love. When humanity moves to its full potential and we are all holding a vibration of love, we will be healed.

👉 Melchizedek’s Metta Meditation: A Step-by-Step Guide

2. Specific exercises like yoga, martial arts, swimming in natural waters, and pranayama. These open the energy channels in the body and enable an easier connection to God.

👉 Pranayama: Breathing Exercises

3. Connect to Mother Earth, the mother waters, and all the beautiful beings held in her light. Mother Earth is a powerful gateway to God/Source Light.

👉 Nature as a Gateway to God: 3 Mind-Expanding Practices

These practices alter your consciousness and begin transforming you. They amplify your light and connection to God/Source. This in turn opens doors and eliminates the obstacles on your way up.

Ask for Help

4. Connect to your Spirit Guides.

👉 Three: Meet Your Spirit Guides

In addition to fostering a connection to your Guides, there is nothing on God’s green Earth more transformative and helpful to us than connecting to High Light Beings. Here’s a tip: helping you is their greatest joy.

👉 Three Sources of High Light

A Word from Seth

The light being Seth (as channeled by Jane Roberts) once mentioned that the religion that comes closest to presenting the greater reality is Buddhism, but he added the one thing Buddhists get wrong is the idea that to be alive we must suffer.

No one has to suffer. Suffering is always optional.

The Path Forward

God is the One force; one source. God is the energy of love and creation. God is the animating force of consciousness. God is ALL THAT IS. Nothing and no one can ever be outside of God.

Love is a vibrational octave. At higher ends of the scale, it transforms all suffering.

As we move into the vibration of love, we learn to unravel our knots.

The very first step is asking: Why did I choose this?

The Second Pathway: Mother Earth

The second powerful pathway to love is through our connection to Mother Earth. Mother Earth is God/Source’s finest creation. (Unfathomably deep statement.) She is a Spirit Being who holds all living beings in her light.

The Illusion of Shadow Energy

Pay attention to any thought pattern that blocks our experience of love.

God is the energy of love and creation. Nothing and no one can ever be outside of God, but… some energy operates in denial of God. Shadow energy. Shadow energy is the illusion; it is not real. It is a pretend game that we are all playing. The Buddhists call it the illusory darkness.

The purpose of shadow energy is to separate us from the light. Separate us from love, joy, peace, laughter, and equanimity. It replaces these with anger and fear. Anger itself rises from hurt and wounds mixed up with fear.

Shadow energy rides on fear. It is the main fuel of fear.

What Melchizedek Says About Fear

Melchizedek explains fear this way:

Fear is contagious. It operates that way. It seeks to replicate itself from one person to the next, as ideas are passed on and shared. When you see it coming at you, let it pass on. Don’t anoint it with meaning.

Fear shows up ONLY if and when we imagine an unpleasant future. But… the future is not real. The future never happens. It is always imaginary. We can just as easily imagine a pleasant future.

Ocean swimming is one of my life’s great joys. Almost every day, someone will say to me: “I would love to swim in the ocean, but I am too afraid.” They imagine that if they did dip into the big blue, they would be courting disaster. Fear turns us away from many opportunities to enjoy our lives.

Familiar Thought Patterns of Shadow Energy

Shadow energy also works through familiar thought patterns. It has designed, propagated, and spread various destructive thought patterns throughout time. These keep us small, fearful, and sometimes angry, separating us from the light of love.

Let’s look at some common thought playgrounds of shadow energy.

Perhaps the most pernicious thought pattern rides on feelings of unworthiness, especially the idea that we are not worthy of love.

One of my dear friends, Hope, feels unworthy of love. Hope is kind to the core, thoughtful, beautiful, talented, professionally successful—yet her toxic mom told her she was unlovable. Behind every difficult person is a sad story, and at its root, Hope’s mom felt equally unworthy of love. Both people’s lives are stunted.

While sitting with Hope, I often reach out, touch her hand, and say: Thousands of souls, right now, love you more than you can know. This powerful truth fills her eyes with tears and yearning as she tries to believe it.

For Religious People

For religious people, feelings of unworthiness ride on the nutty belief that God is judging who they are or what they’ve done—and finds them a total disappointment, unworthy of love. Guilt and shame follow, often becoming consuming and separating them from the light. Guilt and shame are both great conductors of shadow energy.

It might be news to some, but God/Source does not judge. (The idea of a God being sitting on a throne judging us is a serious distortion passed down through religious dogma.) God/Source is infinitely bigger than that.

God/Source knows ONLY love; is ONLY love.

The Punishment of Sin

The punishment of the sin is… the sin itself.

Take gluttony. Indulging in piles of food… is the punishment. It hurts us physically, mentally, and spiritually in the aftermath of the indulgence. No one needs a God to punish them for overeating.

It is the sin (whatever you imagine this is) that separates you—and this feeling of separation, however it shows up, is indeed punishment enough.

How to Dissolve Unworthiness

If you have any feelings of unworthiness of love, find The Book of Love and Creation. Open it to Chapter Seven. This one chapter connects you to a powerful manifestation of God/Source light that neatly dissolves this form of shadow energy.

Also, connect to your Guides. They will begin directing you to love. They will teach you that there are hundreds, even thousands, of souls who love you more than you know—who are indeed showering you in love right now, as you read these words.

👉 Three: Meet Your Spirit Guides

The Great and Destructive ISMS

All thought patterns that present the idea of us vs. them—insisting we are somehow separate from each other, that one group of people is superior or inferior to another group for this or that ridiculous reason—is a serious wrong turn. These usually arrive in the form of an ISM: racism, sexism, ageism, antisemitism, even speciesism.

None of these beliefs or ideas are real. They are an illusion.

Shadow energy has fun with all ISMs. These dumb ideas land in minds and create even dumber beliefs that then become entrenched and hard to escape. Shadow energy thrills at the endless havoc brought by its ISMs.

Indeed, shadow energy’s three greatest triumphs:

• The billions upon billions of sentient beings treated like machines in factory farms and forced to live in unconscionable conditions

• All past and present forms of slavery

• The stickiness, tenaciousness, and ever-changing forms of antisemitism

Celebrate Differences

The only reason to focus on the differences between human beings and indeed all living beings is to celebrate these differences.

Every human being and every animal on Earth is a unique facet of God/Source light. Maybe not all are exactly beautiful, but believe me, all are loved.

You are loved.

Spirit Beings who are supporting us right now arrive from one of these three main collective energy fields: The Angelic Realm, Melchizedek, and the Creator Beings. Beings from each of these groups work with each other; there is tremendous overlap. Powerful Spirit Groups are populated with Beings from all three categories.

1. The Angelic Realm

The Angelic Realm contains the vibration of unconditional love. This is the multi-octave energy of God/Source light going all the way up to God/Source. Every person has at least one Guardian Angel guiding their lives.

Connect to Your Guardian Angel: If you would like to connect to your Guardian Angel, here is a guide on how to take that first step: Three: Meet Your Spirit Guides.

Of keen interest to me is that all animals are from the Angelic Realm, and they hold the vibration of unconditional love. Unfortunately, the density of our field (shadow energy) often prevents this unconditional love from manifesting. Helping any animal overcome these obstacles to move into the vibration of love is a high art, a higher calling, and earns practitioners serious spiritual benefits and applause.

2. Melchizedek

Melchizedek holds divine wisdom. One time, Melchizedek showed me an astonishing image of their divine wisdom—a library with shelves as high as skyscrapers that went on without end.

I meditate with Melchizedek every day, and they connect me to a sky-high octave of love. Then, together we consciously send this energy to Mother Earth, the mother waters, the trees (pillars of God/Source light), the wild, farm, and domestic animals of our world, and finally to troubled regions of our world.

Join Our Practice

Melchizedek has come to lift humanity. They have helped me more than I have words to express, and I know deep gratitude.

3. Creator Beings

Then there are billions of Creator Beings. These beings create: universes, stars, planets, other beings, all animals, plants, proteins, and DNA. They have embarked on an eternal process of creation. Think of them as the ultimate artists.

Connecting to them is… mind-blowing. The energy is off the charts. There are no words, just pure energy. I understand that connecting to them accelerates not just our soul’s growth, but the rate of that growth. Helping us is their greatest joy.

I know them as channeled by Alicia Power. You can connect with her and explore their teachings at soulmentoring.com.

These Beings Created Our Universe

The Rare Earth Hypothesis, the Goldilocks Zone, and the Drake Equation are scientific thought experiments that present the probability of any one of hundreds of factors necessary for life to have evolved on Mother Earth. If any one of these hundreds of factors were altered by a smidgen? Poof. This grand school called Mother Earth would not be here.

The universe itself was designed to support life.

The Perfect Cosmic Architecture

• The Big Bang Initial State: The odds of the precise configuration of mass and energy at the moment of the Big Bang—necessary to create this universe—is a number so vast it cannot be written down.

  

• The Cosmological Constant: Determined by mysterious dark energy, this constant is exactly perfect. If it were any stronger, matter would not coalesce and galaxies, stars, and planets could not form. Any weaker, and matter would collapse right back into the singularity.

• Gravity vs. Electromagnetism: This ratio also just happens to be perfect. If gravity were just slightly stronger, stars would incinerate long before life could appear. If it were weaker by the same inch, stars would never shine long enough for life to take root.

  

• Our Galactic Neighborhood: Our solar system is situated in the exact sweet spot of the galaxy. It is just far enough from the center to avoid life-destroying radiation and black holes, but close enough for heavy elements to form planets.

The Planetary Checklist

By some miracle or magic, our sun is the perfect size. Any bigger, and it would be unstable and give off too much radiation. Any smaller, and it would not have lived long enough to spark life.

Because we do have life, Mother Earth needs a specific setup to survive:

• The Giant Shields: We require a number of large gas planets the exact size of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune to absorb countless devastating asteroid impacts. Without them, Mother Earth is toast.

• The Perfect Size & Oceans: Mother Earth is the perfect size to retain her atmosphere and allow for the great mother waters we call oceans.

  

• The Companion Moon: Mother Earth is completed by her Moon. No other moon would do. Our moon—at its exact size—holds Mother Earth’s axial tilt in place. Without our perfect moon, our weather would be terrifyingly violent and complex life would never have a chance.

• A Molten Core: Mother Earth’s molten iron core generates the magnetosphere that deflects deadly solar radiation, allowing life to flourish.

• Active Plate Tectonics: Plate tectonics built our land masses and created diverse, interdependent ecosystems in an incandescent, glorious dance of give, take, and creation. Most importantly, they cycle carbon into and out of the atmosphere—which, as your next breath attests, is exactly what your body requires to keep on keeping on.

The Signature of Design: The Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical pattern ($0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...$) where each number is the sum of the two preceding it. This sequence appears everywhere in nature, acting as a geometric signature of creation:

• In the Cosmos: The spiral of a galaxy.

• In Our Biology: The DNA helix and the proportions of the human body (the ratio of forearm to hand, skull to teeth, and navel to feet).

• In the Animal Kingdom: The spiral of ram horns, the curve of elephant tusks, and the perfect chambers of a nautilus shell.

• In the Flora: The precise branching patterns of trees.

The Cumulative Odds

When combining all known cosmic, galactic, and planetary parameters required for advanced life to exist on a single planet, the mathematical probability of these things happening by chance is so astronomically small it defies standard notation.

It points a giant neon sign at the startling brilliance found in every aspect of creation. All of creation sings with the illumination of God/Source energy and design. Science merely reflects this light. We are called to celebrate it.

Thank you, Creator Beings.

Our world is the form this energy has been given.

The energy of creation vibrates at different octaves. At higher octaves we recognize the energy as love—and for us human beings, this love is powerful, deeply felt, and ultimately transformational.

Everything is alchemically transformed when placed in this higher octave of love. This is what Melchizedek means when they invite us to lift others to the upper room. They are opening the door to a higher octave of love.

The energy of love fuels every miracle.

The Metta Meditation

Here is a potent version of the simple and ancient Buddhist practice of Metta meditation:

Take a few minutes to reset with deep and slow breaths.

Close your eyes.

Remember a time in your life when love overwhelmed you. The time you felt the most love from your spouse, partner, child, friend. Or the time you felt the most love for your spouse, partner, child, friend. Relive this memory.

Feel your heart center open.

You now sit in the vibration of love. Here we go:

Imagine this love as a glittering white light.

Picture each member of your family in turn. See them climbing stairs, stepping onto a darkened stage and stepping into a spotlight made of the glittering white light.

Say these words in your mind:

I know who you are in love;
I know what you are in love;
I know how you serve in love.
You are free, you are free, you are free.

You might also add:

I see you in your beauty; I see you in your right to be;
Wherever you are, God is, God is, God is.

Bless this special person and thank them for being in your life.

Do this for your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers.

Do it for the most difficult person in your life for three weeks. Behind every difficult person is a sad story. Spirit will connect you to the sad story that stopped them from becoming the person they were meant to be. You will notice a change in the difficult person after three weeks of being held in the vibration of love and I promise your feelings for this difficult person will shift.

A Traditional Variation

Buddhists use a variation of these words for Metta meditation:

May I (or you/all beings) be safe.
May I be healthy.
May I be happy.
May I be free from suffering.
May I live with ease and peace.

The words don’t matter as much as connecting to the vibration of love before you begin the metta.

A Promise: If you do this meditation every day for one week, you will be presented with an experience that lets you know it is not just a “meditation.”

I share my first such experience here:

Expanding the Practice

This practice trains your consciousness to connect to the energy of love. This connection grows ever stronger. And remember: the person with the most love wins.

My Guidance continued to invite me to expand the Metta meditation. I began practicing on countries and regions that hold more strife. I cannot begin to convey how this changed me and my understanding of those regions, their people and conflicts.

Each practice connects me to an energy field of God/Source light where I join thousands and thousands of beings in my conscious intention.

Then, I began holding Mother Earth in love: the mother waters (the big Pacific blue), the jungles, the forests, the deserts of the world. All the living beings held in the light of Mother Earth.

This last one, of course, rocks my soul.

The Mushrooms

Each time I expanded the practice, I would experience a miracle.

One day I began including the mycelium—the fungi, the mushrooms that connects us all. I would think: the beautiful, incandescent, fantastic mycelium that connects us all.

Every time I included the mycelium, I felt a spark of joy. An energetic greeting from this kingdom. Of course I was only imagining this!

A week later, Pip (my exuberant puppy) and I were riding my e-bike through Sea Terrace Park. It has several football-field-sized grass areas. There, in one of these fields, grew an astonishing sight.

I slammed on my brakes and stared in dumbfounded wonder.

The size of a two-story house, the outline of a giant number eight made of mushrooms.

The energy of love is our invitation to God/Source light.

My book, The Spiritual Dog: Emissary of Unconditional Love and Healing, is now available.

There is an ancient sect of Buddhism called Shugendō. This esoteric tradition blends Buddhism, Shinto, and mountain asceticism. Sounds good, right? Trouble is its teachings are woven into the most harrowing and arduous journey imaginable.

Initiates endure five years of the most grueling physical and mental training. They are starved, required to beg for their food, sleep-deprived, isolated, and forced into hard labor from sunup well past sundown. In addition, numerous body breaking, soul crushing, heart ending challenges punctuate the passage: initiates must stand for hours under an icy waterfall, climb rocky mountains with no shoes, water or food, and many other Sisyphus like tasks.

Very few initiates become monks.

Our Hero

The unlikely hero of this true story never imagined he would make it through this training. Every day he fantasized about walking out and into the light of our world. Yet, he never did. Spirit kept him on his life path, and placing one tired and torn up foot in front of the other, he became one of the very few people to become a monk in this sect.

Once ordained, you do not get a job. On the contrary, a new monk is required to find their own work. The only job our hero found was flipping burgers at a fast-food place in downtown Tokyo.

But… working at this job became a great joy.

After all he had endured, he felt he landed in heaven. He laughed for no reason. He sang silly songs out loud; he whistled while he worked. Nothing could upset his equanimity. He could not suppress a huge grin.

At first, people did not grasp what this joy hid.

What Joy Always Holds

Everyone noticed the joyful employee at the burger joint. People began showing up to watch our hero work—joy is as infectious as laughter. Rumors spread that just witnessing our hero work had the awesome power to cure depression and stop suicide.

Soon, depressed and suicidal people began forming long lines at the burger joint, waiting for a chance to hear his simple and kind words of encouragement. That’s when people began discovering our hero’s great joy held an even greater compassion.

This remarkable man’s presence and being contained the cure.

The powers that be finally recognized the light that he was. Our hero was assigned to a temple, and here he spent his days counseling and consoling depressed people who were planning suicide.

The Three Months Exercise

This was one of our hero’s meditation lessons:

Imagine you had only three months left to live. What would you do? Write down every small and large thing. Plan each day of the three months. Who would you want to visit? What do you want to say to them? Where would you want to go? What would you want to do before you left the planet?

Spend some time here. Fill the pages of a notebook. (One, I promise, that will change your life.)

Now, imagine you had only one week to live. How would you compress your three months into one week? Go through each day in the three months and select only the most important things you would do from the treasures that fill those pages. Who would you see? What would you say to them? What must you visit before you leave?

Plan each day of the week in exquisite detail.

Now imagine you have one day—sunrise to sunset. Hour by hour, minute by minute, imagine this one day. What would you do? Who would you see? What would you say? What wonders and goodbyes and celebrations would this one precious day contain?

Are you weeping? You did this exercise right.

The Remote Temple

Our hero finally settled in a temple hundreds of miles into a wilderness area of Japan. It takes days of strenuous hiking to reach its remote mountain location, and still hundreds of desperate suicidal people make this trek to be in his healing light and presence.

Every single person is cured when they reach him. Often before they reach him.

He explains there is no magic in this. He is only a place holder.

It is the journey that changes us.

Another Imagined Journey

Here is another imagined journey:

Imagine, if you will, that you have in fact transitioned. Kaput. This life is over.

You step into the light of the spiritual realm.

You are greeted by your loved ones. Not just your loved ones who have transitioned from your current life, but all your loved ones from past lives. This number is in often in the thousands. There are, right now, thousands of souls who love you more than you can know. They are standing there, waiting to greet YOU.

Their excitement and love overwhelm you. It is such a joyful scene. (It is also familiar; you have experienced it many times before.) There is much laughter, applause, joy, and also relief: “Woohoo! I made it! I made it!”

This previously unknown joy continues to unfold until…

Suddenly, all the animals you have ever loved come rushing toward you.

The Reunions

From this familiar vantage point, you grasp the astonishing fact that the people in this life whom you imagined were your enemies—estranged relatives, friends who had betrayed you, hurt you badly, whom you turned away from—are loved ones.

Now you see them on their soul level. You see them as God sees them. The histories of all their past lives is familiar to you; you know their triumphs in spirit and love, as well as the sad stories and failures that resonate through their lives and presented the great challenges in the physical realm.

This ignites your compassion. Forgiveness? A given.

You are not surprised as you embrace them, hold them close, both of you apologizing and laughing through tears for your small-mindedness. For not realizing the depth and love of your connection. For not understanding this was all a fantastic game—the purpose of which was recognizing that ultimately nothing mattered but love.

The Life Review

You soon find yourself with your Guardian Angels and Guides for a life review.

Starting from childhood, you review all your life choices—the decisions that gave shape to this journey.

• Who your family members are, the lessons in love that they taught you. (The purpose of families is to teach us about love.)

• The lessons each friend taught you.

• What life lessons you discovered from your romantic lovers.

• You will see hundreds of encounters with total strangers and realize you KNOW these people too, on a soul level. This will delight and mortify you.

• You will review every time you hurt someone and see how you could have behaved or chosen differently. You grasp how this would have changed both you and the other person for the better.

• You will discover why there is no judgement, because no judgement is needed. Not even for what people have always imagined as sins. The punishment of any ‘sin’ is the sin itself; how it separated you from the God/Source light. That, you will grasp, was punishment enough, and ultimately committing ‘sins’ is a powerful lesson learned.

• You will see every time you helped someone, even the smallest acts of kindness: Holding the door open for that elderly woman; passing a couple of dollars to that homeless person; pointing out something positive to the depressed person awashed in negativity; the sacrifice you made for your child’s education, to get the dog walked and happy; to placate your neighbor; the encouragement you offered to a friend in need; a smile gifted to a stranger.

All of these will be seen, remembered, celebrated.

The Answers

You will be shown every why you ever wondered and many you never imagined.

Most of all you will realize that this life was the most precious gift. You will have learned some hard lessons and hopefully many beautiful ones. You will grasp the obvious—that your consciousness created everything that showed up in this life for the sole purpose of growing your soul in love.

Then, I swear to God, you will beg for another chance to do it all again. Only this time, you vow to remember that the person with the most love and generosity and laughter wins.

And, for this new adventure on planet Earth, you vow, swear, promise, that this time you will savor the taste of a strawberries; laying in your lover’s arms; swimming in a warm sea; you will marvel at the miracle of a butterfly.

Your support means the world.

The crown chakra is located on the top of your head. The color associated with it is white. It connects us to God/Source light. It is the energy channel between you and God/Source light.

The crown chakra activates all other chakras. It affects our overall physical and emotional health and our spiritual wellbeing. It is the energy that fuels our spiritual life. This energy heals, provides all information you need to be safe, healthy, joyful, and in service to your family, community, Mother Earth, and humanity itself.

Opening the Crown Chakra

There are many means of opening the crown chakra, but here is the simplest. This can be practiced by everyone. You can do it any time. You need not drive anywhere. You don’t need fancy gym clothes. Indeed, you don’t need anything but an empty stomach and the intention.

1. Sit up straight and relax your shoulders.

2. Take ten deep and slow breaths.

3. On the tenth breath, take a deep inhale and hold.

4. Relax into the retention.

5. Repeat three times. On the last retention:

6. Ask your Guides to facilitate the opening of your crown chakra. Thank them in advance.

7. Imagine your crown chakra opening. Picture God/Source light flowing through your crown chakra and into your body. Sliding over your skull and penetrating your brain. Gliding down your eyes and relaxing your facial muscles. Flowing into your neck and down your spinal column. Sliding over your shoulders and into your arms and hands. Imagine this healing light flowing over your chest and torso. Experience it flowing over your legs and into your feet.

Do this simple practice every day for one month, and I promise it will show up in your life in ways that surprise and delight you.

Accelerate Your Crown Chakra Opening with Pranayama

I invite you to amplify and accelerate the opening of your crown chakra through the practice of pranayama.

The Amazing Physical Benefits of Pranayama

All spiritual practices have profound physical benefits.

Pranayama (breathing exercises) reduces the negative physical reactions tied to modern life, such as high blood pressure, inflammation (the root of all illness and disease), and elevated stress hormones. Pranayama also increases positive brain chemicals, and when done correctly, it can flood the body with a powerful sense of euphoria.

Another significant physical benefit: as we age, we lose lung capacity and function—about 10% every decade after age fifty. Many scientists believe this decline fuels aging. Simple breathing exercises completely reverse this trend.

One of the most critical benefits of pranayama is its ability to rev up the immune system. A daily pranayama practice practically guarantees no more flus or colds. I had COVID three times early in the pandemic, but because of my daily pranayama practice, I never had any symptoms.

The wonderful book Breath by James Nestor outlines extensive research on the physical benefits of pranayama. One notable study, conducted in Denmark (as it could never be done in the U.S.), involved 100 participants. Half were taught the Wim Hof method of over-breathing and practiced twice daily for two weeks, while the other half (the control group) received no training. Then, all participants were injected with E. coli.

Every person in the control group developed symptoms—ranging from mild to severe. Not one person in the breathing group showed any symptoms.

In general, pranayama offers physical benefits comparable, and in some respects superior, to strenuous exercise.

When practiced daily, pranayama has the magical ability to make us aware of negative thoughts. Since reality is largely shaped by our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, nothing is more potent than cultivating positivity. Conscious breathing, with practice, banishes anxiety and negative thoughts, helping you become more aware of how your thoughts and emotions shape your reality.

The Incalculable Spiritual Benefits of Pranayama

1. Opens the energy channels of the body, which facilitates all healing. No matter what the problem, pranayama is a solution.

2. This includes all the chakras. In energizing and repairing your chakras and energy systems, it activates your telepathic abilities and all the clairs.

3. It alerts your consciousness to a shift, and your energy field settles.

4. This shift signals to your Guides. I’ve been told that we normally appear as moving blobs of colorful energy—and if shrouded in negativity, blobs of gray energy. During and after pranayama, your auric field settles, making it easier for your Guides to read. Your Guides can then identify where you need help and deliver it. They alter your auric field so you hold more light.

Five Powerful Pranayama Practices

1. Over Breathing

Can be practiced sitting or lying down.

• Set a timer for one minute.

• Keeping your mouth closed, inhale deeply through your nostrils, then exhale rapidly.

• Keep your abdomen slightly tucked. Bonus: Lift your pelvic floor to force energy up your spinal column and open your chakras.

• At the end of the minute, take a deep inhale and hold until you feel the first hint of discomfort. Relax into the retention.

• Feel the power of the breath by its absence.

• Return to normal breathing.

• Repeat twice more. On the second round, exhale and hold. On the third, choose between inhale retention (antara kumbhaka) or exhale retention (bahya kumbhaka).

Inhale retention is more energizing, stretching the lungs and pulling energy into the body.
Exhale retention is more calming. Most people develop a preference, but both offer similar benefits.

2. Lion’s Breath (Excellent for the immune system)

Sit up for this practice.

• Open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue as far as possible, and gaze at the tip of your nose (to open the third eye chakra) or close your eyes.

• Lift your abdomen. Bonus: Tighten your pelvic floor.

• Take 21 deep breaths.

• Relax your mouth. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth (to open the energy channel reaching into the crown chakra) and take 21 more deep breaths.

• Retention.

• Repeat twice more.

3. Alternate Nostril Breathing

Sit up for this practice.

• Keep your spine straight and shoulders relaxed.

• Close your mouth.

• Use your right hand: extend your thumb and pinky, folding the other three fingers into your palm.

• Gently close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale through the left.

• Close your left nostril with your pinky and exhale through the right.

• Repeat nine times, tracing an inverted horseshoe path with your breath.

• On a deep inhale through both nostrils, hold your breath.

• Repeat twice more.

Variation: Take three deep inhales and exhales through each nostril in turn. Repeat nine times, then hold your breath on a deep inhale.

4. Box Breath

• Sit up straight, relax your shoulders, and slightly lift your abdomen. Bonus: Tighten your pelvic floor.

• Set a timer for five minutes.

• Inhale for a count of four, hold for four, exhale for four, and hold for four.

• If your mind wanders, gently return it to the sound of your breath.

• At the end of five minutes, take a deep inhale and hold. Relax into the retention.

• Return to normal breathing.

Variation: Experiment with counts of five, six, seven, or eight.

Harnessing the Power of Pranayama’s Afterglow

After pranayama, imagine your crown chakra opening and repeat the process of picturing this healing energy flowing through your crown chakra into your body. Then:

Be still and receive.

What is the third eye?

A scientist might say it is a mythical point slightly above your eyes in the middle of your forehead—the so-called “seat of your higher and expanding consciousness.” But that scientist would be wrong. It is not mythical. It is more real than the Large Hadron Collider. Skeptics just haven’t experienced it yet.

This chakra is the center of perception and the seat of intuition, freedom, and expression.

Here, we have moved past the desires and distractions of our material plane.

Its color is indigo—a deep and rich blue. If wisdom were a color, it would be indigo.

While our physical eyes see the past and the present, the third eye is a door to higher consciousness, and it is all about revealing ever deeper layers of truth. As you peel back the layers of reality to find an ever-deeper layer of Truth, you move closer to God.

Reading the Future

Contrary to many popular myths, a third eye opening does not mean insight into the future. No one can predict the future in our material world, because the future hasn’t happened yet. It is being created, second by second, by our choices.

What some gifted prophets do is assess present choices and predict a future based on probabilities. This can sometimes be mistaken for predicting the future. But for sure, accurately assessing these probabilities requires activation of the sixth chakra.

Third Eye Blockages

The main thing that blocks our third eye chakra is a focus on material things. Chasing material wealth means you are sitting in unanswered desire. There is never enough is the opposite of the energy of creation, the opposite of God/Source light.

Not just a bigger house, a new car, designer clothes, or jewelry—but also what these things symbolize: prestige and status. For many wealthy people, the stuck energy that blocks their third eye chakra shows up in travel adventures and experiences, charitable galas, and busyness, the appearance of a meaningful life.

Typically, people with third eye blockages lack focus. This inability to focus is not as intense as the pervasive inability to focus that arises from hoarding, but the same stuck energy is operating here.

One of the most liberating experiences is to start dispensing with your material possessions, one after another, as if peeling back the layers of a façade to discover the true self. That describtion explains the crazy popularity of wonderful books like Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston (cannot recommend this book enough) and The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.

Material things (read: stuff) take up space in your consciousness that belongs to Spirit or God/Source light.

This kind of blockage keeps you from your life’s purpose. The disconnect from Spirit triggers depression and restless discomfort, which is soon buried in another trip or another pile of material goods. I sometimes want to take these people by their shoulders, meet their gaze, and invite them to… just slow down and connect to their breath.

Yogis and many other spiritual/religious people understand that you should never take more than you need. And wow, we actually need so little.

What About an Overactive Third Eye?

Some spiritualists think that when the opposite happens—when the third eye becomes too active and open, like a portal to the unknown—it leads to hallucinations, emotional blowouts, even insanity.

This is not true.

In these cases, what has happened is that the third eye opened without guidance from your Spirit team and, importantly, without their protection. (It is never a good idea to visit the unknown without the protection of high-level light beings.) The person opened themselves up to an inundation of shadow energy or mischievious, harmful beings laden with shadow.

Many, if not most people who channel spirit beings, have no idea who they are channeling. Even experienced channelers of light beings occasionally bring forth trickster spirits. One such channeller who has quite a following, mostly brings through lovely light beings, but then he channels Mother Earth and even God/Source energy. Only he is NOT channelling God/Source energy or Mother Earth. These shadow beings disguised as the light present shallow information, often just platitudes with dollops of fear tossed in. That his Guidance doesn’t prevent this is… a mystery.

Physical Manifestations of a Blocked Third Eye

A blockage of the third eye shows up in neurological problems:

• Vision issues and problems

• Migraines

• Insomnia (always)

• Sinus trouble

• Endocrine imbalances

• Pituitary and pineal gland problems

• Trouble with the hypothalamus (the headquarters of your body’s quest for balance or homeostasis)

Once the hypothalamus is out of whack, a cascading series of health challenges follows.

The Good News

This chakra is fun to open.

Steps Toward Opening Your Third Eye

1. Meditate at least a half hour twice a day.

2. While meditating, ask your Spirit Guides to open your third eye.

3. Recognize everything in your life as a teacher.

A. Okay, so that happened. What can I learn from it?

Your spouse, children, the dog, your neighbor and your neighbor’s dog, the tree in the backyard, the supermarket, your car. Everything is here to teach you something. Everything represents something meaningful.

Start with one thing and examine it thoroughly. Say, your spouse:

• What has he or she taught you?

• What do you love about them?

• What lifts you spiritually, emotionally, physically about this person?

• Do they do anything that lowers your vibration? That you struggle with?

• What is it? Why is this particular issue a struggle?

• What does it tell you about yourself?

This is a powerful practice—one that quickly shifts your understanding of reality and begins to expand your consciousness. You begin to see everything symbolically. This can be… crazily illuminating.

4. Practice telepathy guessing games with a friend or kids. (Children love these games!)

• A number between one and twelve

• A color

• A favorite animal

  

A Mind-Blowing Meditation to Activate Your Third Eye

Sit up straight in a comfortable seated position.

Step 1: Engage the breath. Three minutes of slow, deep inhales and faster exhales. Tighten the pelvic floor if this is available to you. Imagine each breath as the white light of love. This is a healing light.

Step 2: At the end of three minutes, hold your breath as long as possible.

Step 3: Repeat two more times.

Step 4: Invite your body to relax.

Step 5: Set a timer for five minutes—no more, at least until you become comfortable with the practice.

Step 6: Stare into the space between your brows. Anytime your mind wanders, return it to this space between your brows.

I know! Wow!

Speaking the truth and honesty are powerful fifth chakra practices. Think of truth as sacrosanct. Truth to human consciousness is as water is to life—absolutely necessary in order to thrive.

When this chakra is balanced, our understandings deepen, and relatedly, we are much better at receiving guidance from Spirit.

Choices and the Fifth Chakra

All choices are run through the fifth chakra, so repercussions often show up here. My Guides point out that there is always a low choice and a high choice. The proclivity to make high choices is a sign of a well-functioning throat chakra.

There is a simple and beautiful evolution involved in our fifth chakra opening as we age:

1. In the first adolescent stage, we attempt to emerge into our own sovereignty as a person; we discover who we are; we step into our identities. Because our own authority emerges with our identity, we also begin challenging the other authorities operating in our lives.

2. Hopefully by the time we become adults, the only authority operating over our autonomy is indeed ourselves. Our God-given free will. Our lives begin to unfold from this loftier perch, and we begin to move toward God.

3. The closer we come to God, the more we surrender.

Surrendering to God is the final stage of opening the fifth chakra.

We discover, nurture, and step into our faith.

When the Throat Chakra Is Closed

A closed fifth chakra manifests in lies and distortions. Here is an unalterable and universal truth: Good cannot come from lies.

When the energy of the fifth chakra is imbalanced, we are a mess. Communication breaks down in all directions. No one understands us, and consumed with our loneliness and frustration, we can’t listen to others and we have trouble expressing emotions.

When the fifth chakra is even more closed, we go negative. We make harsh judgments, and imagine the harshest solutions solve problems, especially for other people. Our consciousness exists inside a tight box—not just greatly restricted, but susceptible to distortions. There is a hard wall around compassion.

Physically, a closed throat chakra shows up in:

• Sore throats

• Thyroid problems

• Other hormone problems

• Mouth sores

• Any problem with the esophagus or neck problems

• Addictions are caused by a closed throat chakra.

Living a Lie

A closed fifth chakra also means you are almost certainly living a lie. You are often pretending, pretending to be fine when you are not; pretending you are helping people when you are hurting them; pretending nothing is wrong. Your true self, if you meet her at all, is an occasional, infrequent interloper. You feel as if you are an impostor. It requires a lot of energy to maintain the façade.

Every lie is hiding a truth.

An Example of How Lies Distort Reality:

You tell your kids there is no more candy. The purpose of the lie is to keep your kids from eating candy. You are no doubt thinking you are protecting their health.

You imagine this lie is easier than telling the simple truth: “Candy wouldn’t be good for you right now.”

But… what if instead you told them about the effect of sugar on the body and why it wouldn’t be good for them? What if you asked these small beings for their own God-given cooperation in maintaining their health and wellbeing?

(I know all the moms are laughing, shaking their heads: You are so delusional.)

Look deeper though. Keep in mind, lies register in our consciousness. This might be just below awareness, but every lie pings our consciousness with a distress signal. Mental gymnastics begin:

• Why is Mom lying to me?

• How can I get around this lie?

• What else does Mom lie about?

• Mom lies a lot! I cannot trust what Mom says.

Every lie erodes trust. Every lie has consequences.

The Truth Sets Us Free

The converse is also true: Truth is powerful medicine.

I learned this lesson early in life. My mom, aptly nicknamed the Saint, had a pretty serious emotional blockage. She played the martyr card. She taught me how to play it, too.

Everything changed with my husband, John. One time he did something that hurt or upset me (I no longer remember what), and putting on the martyr cloak, when he asked what was wrong, I said the infamous: “Nothing.”

Ever sensitive, he said, “I can tell something is wrong. What is it?”

I shook my head, probably looked away as any skilled martyr would, and I repeated the lie: “Nothing is wrong.”

Baffled, John reached over and touched my hand. “I know something is wrong. When you are ready to tell me, I am right here.” He gently squeezed my hand, as if to underline his words.

This honest acknowledgement of a problem confused me. Key word is honest. Playing the martyr card prohibited honesty, but… was John different?

I suddenly blurted out the problem.

John absorbed my complaint, apologized, and then immediately rectified the situation.

I learned the lesson in my astonishment.

Honesty As a Spiritual Practice

I love how well honesty works! For the life of me, I do not know why more people do not try it.

One of John’s earliest books was on assertion training for adults. The simple art of asking clearly and directly for what you want or need solves so many problems.

Even lies to “get out” of doing things we don’t want to do are harmful. This was me in the time before I began adopting honesty as a spiritual practice. Then, I discovered (to my utter surprise) not just that I could say a simple “no thanks,” but people always preferred this to any contrivance about visiting relatives, previous appointments, or a busy schedule.

An Honesty Practice

Think of the last person you lied too. Now imagine they knew you were lying to them. I know! Yikes.

Ask yourself: What truth was the lie concealing?

Imagine what would have happened if you had told the truth instead. With a small amount of reflection, you will realize honesty would have better served the situation.

Now think of one thing you would like to tell your partner or spouse but are afraid the truth will upset them. Guess what? They almost certainly already know this truth. If they do not, hearing it almost always offers relief, because on some level they do already know it. Speaking it out loud brings the light shining over it.

Clarity in knowing what you need in relationships and how to ask for it is a powerful fifth chakra function.

How to Activate All the Chakras

Here is a wonderful activator of all the chakras.

These three sounds have powerful spiritual vibrations: the AHHH sound, the OMMM sound, and the UMMM sound. You can employ them to scare your neighbors and activate your chakras. It’s simple:

The first three chakras:

Take a deep inhale and exhale with the AHHH sound. Do this seven times.

Opening the heart chakra:

Take a deep breath. Make a circle with your mouth and make an OMMM sound coming from the back of your throat. Repeat this seven times.

Opening the last three chakras:

Take a deep inhale and exhale through the back of your throat, making the UMMM sound. Repeat seven times.

Many people feel the vibration in the targeted chakras.

Here is a great YT video demonstration of this practice by probably the greatest living yogi of our time—Sadhguru.

The Heart Chakra is the most important chakra. Its color is green, the color of healing energy. Only love can heal us. Indeed, all healing is done through the energy of love.

The heart chakra is our emotional center. It allows us to give and receive love.

Love defines God’s connection to us.

God loves love; we love love; everything—from a houseplant to a giant sperm whale—loves love. Love does indeed make the world go round.

It is not just the main point, but in the most meaningful way, love is the only point.

Hands down, the person with the most love wins.

Love is also the answer to every problem.

When Your Heart Chakra Is Open

Life is beautiful when your heart chakra is open.

You foster and maintain lovely relationships. You operate from peace and compassion. There is no one and nothing left outside the circle of your compassion. You understand what is meant by the oneness of the universe, because you experience this.

An open heart chakra means giving and receiving love and compassion is as easy as breathing. You do it all the time. It is your natural state.

When Your Heart Chakra Is Blocked

When the heart chakra is blocked, watch out. You will be emotionally restrained or stunted. You are always holding back feelings, moving through life with restraints on, or in a fog of fear. You almost certainly have lower chakra blockages as well.

These emotional and energetic blockages show up in… well, in heart problems: heart attacks, congestive heart failure, valve problems—all of which are the number one killer in the world. It can also show up in upper back and shoulder problems and, of course, breast and lung cancers.

Closed heart chakras also attract… fear. These people become afraid of this and that. Fear acts like a virus, growing, becoming magnified and enlarged. This shadow energy acts as a hard brake to enjoying life, experiencing love, laughter, and joy.

A closed heart also fosters resentment and jealousy. These people often nurse anger and its extreme form—bitterness over the cards fate has dealt them.

Is Your Heart Chakra Closed?

There is a simple test to determine if your heart chakra is closed.

Can you march up to a nearby loved one, throw your arms around them, and say, “I love you!” (With an exclamation mark.)

If so, you are operating with an open heart.

The Two Main Causes of a Closed Heart Chakra

Many people close their heart chakras upon meeting trauma and especially grief. (A powerful depiction of this is the mom character Beth in the movie Ordinary People. Find this movie.)

Grief has overwhelmed many a fine heart. Upon being crushed by the tsunami that is the loss of a loved one, the heart closes to protect itself from the sheer weight of ever feeling that again. This closing ricochets through our physical and energetic energy systems and makes everything worse, hurting us exponentially more.

If this is you, or someone you know, please read Grief Is Love.

If you cannot afford a copy, send an email to jaejflowers@gmail.com, and I will have my publisher send it to you.

If grief did not close the heart, then it can often be traced to a specific memory or collection of memories around trauma. These people are victims of their past. Their identity becomes entwined with the trauma perpetrated on them. When you meet them, they are quick to bring up these defining tragedies scarring their life.

Often these people are attracted to therapeutic and counseling paths. Beneath the surface agenda to “help” other people going through trauma is someone who still struggles with their own life events. You spot this when their story is woven into the means of “helping.” This is rarely harmless. People experiencing their own trauma often feel worse when subjected to someone else’s difficulties.

How Do You Know When You Have Transcended a Traumatic Event?

When you are no longer interested in sharing it or talking about it with others. In fact, when it feels awkward to even mention. When any sympathy your story might evoke feels utterly unnecessary.

If You Need Help Overcoming a Traumatic Experience:

1. Consciously (through prayer or meditation) ask your Guides for help.
👉 Three: Meet Your Spirit Guides
Keep asking every day until a door opens.

2. Find a therapist or spiritual healer. If you do not feel lifted or hopeful after even one meeting, continue searching for the right person. Your soul will recognize them when they show up.

3. Help ALWAYS rests between the covers of books.

Opening Your Heart Chakra

Because of the importance to our wellbeing of an open heart chakra, our heart chakras are designed for easy opening. The most powerful key to unlock your heart chakra is to simply begin blessing every person (and animal) you encounter. Smile at them as you imagine the glittering white light of love cascading over them.

Go to a public space and try it for just one hour.

Feel how profoundly it alters your light. Your heart begins to hum and then burst into song. (A music metaphor to make the point that you begin hitting a high octave of joy.) As if sensing something in the air, people begin smiling, only to then appear confused, as if wondering just why they are smiling.

This simplest of all spiritual practices tees up miracle after miracle.

Keep amplifying it.

The third chakra is the last of the three physical body chakras. The third chakra is located—well, you guessed it—the Solar Plexus. The color associated with it is yellow.

It is concerned with you as an individual, your personal power. A healthy third chakra means you know who you are, and what’s more, you like who you are. You have healthy self-esteem. You generally have clarity of vision, a good intellect—you might not be as sharp as a tack found by a bare foot, but you are pretty darn smart, all things considered. You feel a sense of purpose in life. You are resilient. You exercise control over your dietary and health habits.

When the Third Chakra Is Blocked

This last is important. Energy blockages in your third chakra show up around food—overeating and weight gain, or the flip side, anorexia, bulimia, digestive problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), indigestion and all colon cancers and polyps, fatigue (the most common problem presented to doctors), and diabetes. This is just the short list.

The energy blockage has an emotional component. Anger is a third chakra problem—and as we all know, anger is a huge problem these days. Blockages here result in low self-esteem and a need for constant affirmations, as well as the flip side of this coin: overconfidence and runaway egos. (Not exactly a rarity in these times either.) Overconfidence, of course, is overcompensation... for low self-esteem. These insecure people are always the victim; they are ever quick to blame other people. Any criticism or feedback seems to have near-fatal consequences. (Don’t make me name names.)

Third Chakra Questions for Reflection

1. What are your strengths and abilities? Make a list of all the things you love about yourself—all the things you feel are attributes.

2. Here is an amusing and instructive game: Connect your criticism of someone else back to a personal fault you have. In other words, reflect on how often criticism is a defense mechanism. When we blame someone, we are employing a defense mechanism to shield ourselves from an important truth. Think of a time you blamed someone. What is the truth you were trying to hide?

4. How do you handle criticism? Can you imagine reaching the place where you welcome criticism? Where you view it as a gift that helps you become better?

5. When was the last time you admitted you were wrong? Find the liberation (and relief) in confessing you were wrong about something.

6. Have you ever pretended to love someone just to stay in a relationship?

7. Do you feel capable of taking care of yourself? Or do you struggle with this issue?

If the latter, start with one small issue you would like to change: car repairs, bill paying, banking, exercising daily. Ask AI to break each issue on your list into doable points.

Move systematically through a list of everything you would love to change.

This can be a life changing plan of action.

The Meditation to Open the First Three Chakras

The energy of the first three chakras is directed to your physical health, and as you’ve seen, they determine how you move through the world. Furthermore, they are each connected to the first three layers of your auric field: the physical layer, the mental layer, and the emotional layer. Their energy needs to be functioning without blockage. Then it is distributed throughout all systems. The remaining chakras are then able to open more fully.

Here is a breathing exercise to open the first three chakras.

This simple exercise also has countless physical benefits: It lowers blood pressure, aids in sleep and digestion, lowers inflammation, and basically kicks the body into a higher level of functioning. It also clarifies your thoughts and helps direct you to the positive. It teaches you how to focus and concentrate—two important talents in our modern times.

The Practice

1. In a seated position, cross-legged on the floor or, if in a chair, feet planted on the ground and hands resting on your lap or held over your heart.

2. Ask your Spirit Guides to help facilitate this exercise. Thank them in advance.

3. Begin a slow conscious breath for three minutes. Inhale through the nostrils for a count of four; hold your breath for a count of four; exhale for a count of four; hold your breath for a count of four. Repeat.

4. Continue for ten minutes. If it is available to you, tighten your abdomen and pelvic floor as you breathe; this lifts the energy through your chakra system. Every time your mind wanders—and it will wander—return it to the sound of your breath.

5. At the end of ten minutes, take a deep inhale and hold for as long as you can.

Experience the power of the breath by its absence.

During this breath retention, imagine a red ball of energy at the base of your spine. Picture it growing brighter and expanding to illuminate your entire pelvic region. If this is available to you, imagine another ball of white energy at the center of your heart. Picture this energy becoming brighter before traveling up your spine to your throat and finally the top of your head.

6. As you take your first breath ending the retention, imagine any tension or negative energy shooting down your legs and feet and into the earth. A common experience is to feel energy (shadow energy) sucked from your auric field. Some people experience this as cold air lifting from their body. These are your Spirit Guides cleaning your auric field. This is powerful medicine.

7. Repeat three times a day.

In Conclusion

The energy of the first three chakras is directed to your physical health, and their functioning determines how you operate in the world. They are each connected to the first three layers of your auric field: the physical layer, the mental layer, and the emotional layer. These three must be opened and functioning—their energy distributed and aligned—before you can advance spiritually.

The Sacral Chakra is all about a great TV show: sex, sexual relations, power, money, control issues, and the big one—creativity. It covers our personal identity and the choices we make as we grow into adulthood: relationships, our sexuality, power, and money.

When Your Second Chakra Is Balanced and Working Well:

1. You enjoy both your relationships and sex.

2. You have few issues with money. This is characterized by not too much money—meaning not an Elon Musk or Bill Gates situation—but also not too little. You exist with a sense of abundance; your physical needs are met in reality.

3. A balanced second chakra also results in far more equitable relationships; you would no more lord it over a waiter or housekeeper than you’d be impressed with a member of a royal family. (Yawn.) People is people is people.

An Irresistible Story

A friend of mine is a pilot, but on this day, he was flying as a passenger. The flight was populated with dozens of members of the Saudi Arabian “Royal Family.” He ignored this, utterly disinterested.

Once the plane landed, he got up to disembark. The security team stood and informed my friend he would have to wait for the “Royal Family” to disembark first.

“Ha,” my friend scoffed. “Not in this country I don’t.”

And he pushed past the guards.

This is an example of a strong second chakra in operation. In the same way you do not want to control anyone, you could never abide being controlled by others. During WWII, you worked to save Jews. Today, you help immigrants escape ICE. You never mind following laws or instructions, but only if these work for you.

Physical Manifestations of a Healthy Sacral Chakra:

1. The second chakra’s energy feeds into the sex organs, hip area, and pelvis region: bladder, urinary tract, lower spine.

2. A healthy second chakra virtually ensures—if not an adventurous sex life—then a satisfying one. This, of course, can also mean abstinence, if abstinence is a high choice for you and you consciously align with the gifts of it. (Like, you know, not having to buy fancy underwear.)

3. You have great relationships with both men and women. You freely, frequently, and playfully express love and affection.

4. Main benefit: A healthy second chakra leads to a significant portion of your energy flowing into a creative enterprise.

When the Sacral Chakra Is Blocked

Energy blockages in the sacral chakra manifest in a myriad of ailments:

1. Chronic lower back pain and sciatica, especially prevalent in people racked with guilt around issues of sexuality.

2. Arthritis and joint problems.
Yogi tip: A plant-based diet greatly reduces and even eliminates arthritis and joint problems.

3. Urinary problems or menstrual and menopausal problems. All things OB/GYN spring from a poorly functioning second chakra.

Two Ways an Unbalanced Sacral Chakra Can Go

Too much energy in this chakra pours into chaos—extreme mood swings, restless dissatisfaction with relationships and jobs. They are the it always sucks people.

Addictive behaviors show up here as well, especially sex addictions. These are men and women both who have a great many partners, but precious little connection and no satisfaction—or at least no satisfaction that lasts more than a millisecond, if you get my drift.

When there is blocked energy operating in the second chakra (other chakras as well), chronic fatigue moves in and takes up residency. You have no desires, sexual or otherwise, and then... depression. Life itself exhausts you.

It’s as if the creative force in life is being drained from you.

In fact, it is.

How to Rev Up Your Sacral Chakra

1. Practice pranayama. In my second most popular post, I list simple breathing exercises:

👉 Pranayama: Breathing Exercises

One half hour of pranayama has the same physical benefits as strenuous exercise, but even more important, this half hour triggers spiritual benefits that reverberate through your life. One of these benefits is that pranayama shoots energy up through your chakra system.

Even beginners experience this! Here I’ll prove it:

Set your phone timer for one minute, and during that minute, breathe deep and hard and fast. At the end of the minute, hold your breath and tighten your pelvic floor (mula bandha or root lock) and your abdomen (uddiyana bandha).

Feel the energy shooting up through your chakras!

2. Express your emotions instead of swallowing them. All honest expressions of emotion are bursts of positivity that activate your energy systems.

3. Think of an area where you feel creative: music, art, crafts, writing, or poetry. Pull this creativity into your life—even if you are a beginner, especially if you are a beginner. Remember: any talent developed in this life is available in your next life.

If you think, I am not creative, THINK AGAIN. Upon deeper reflection, you will discover a memory that connects you to your individual creativity—a memory usually found in your childhood. This is a soul gift that has been squashed by shadow but is calling for resurrection. This gift will lead you to the light and activate your energy. It will connect you to God/Source light.

GO FOR IT.

4. Honor your body with exercise. Remember, there are many people who have incarnated just to learn the discipline necessary to maintain health.

5. Finally, the BEST advice for getting the energy flowing through your Sacral Chakra:

Move toward what excites you.

In any moment of indecision, when facing two choices, head toward what excites you. Ignore any perceived restraints (not enough money, not enough time) and just go for it.

This powerful practice opens doors. You will be flabbergasted by how your life goes from ho hum to WOOHOO!

These layers of your auric field are connected to your chakra energy system.

What are the chakras? These are the seven main energy centers of the physical body—plus thousands of lesser chakras and energy points called nadis. Nadis and meridians correspond to the energy points used in acupuncture and other healing modalities, including many ancient ones. It is estimated there are between 70,000 and 120,000 of them.

Your chakras affect your emotional and physical wellbeing far more than genetics, diet, and exercise—but as in all connecting systems, it is also true that your genetics, diet, and exercise habits affect your chakra system.

These powerful energy circles are also library/data centers that contain information about your physical body, your soul, and its history—including all your past lives.

Imagine that. Your soul’s entire history is contained in your chakra system.

Your chakras are as real as the beat of your heart—but far more important.

These seven main chakras are in a state of constant flux as they interact with your auric field. Each powerful energy center records, processes, stores, and transforms emotional and psychic energy from your daily life, moment to moment. Thoughts, emotions, and events of your life act as amplifiers or dimmer switches that affect your energy field. This, in turn, determines your health and wellbeing, your ailments and problems.

Each of the seven main chakras holds a specific psychic energy.

The Root Chakra

The first chakra is located at the base of your spine. Red is the color associated with the root chakra; this is the color or vibrational energy seen when meditating on it. It is connected to the first layer of the auric field—the Etheric body.

The root chakra is concerned with our basic survival needs: food, water, and shelter. It holds all the information—thoughts, emotions, and especially beliefs—concerning the family into which you were born, and importantly, the society, culture, and religion that you were born into. In other words, we are looking at your tribal roots.

When these roots are positive and supportive—you love your birth family!—this first chakra provides you with a stabilizing foundation that serves you all your life. You own a sense of security and safety, especially in the face of fear or anxiety. This connection to your roots and history delivers your sense of right and wrong, core beliefs, and customs.

This is not to say you always agree with the beliefs and morals of your family or their religion. Quite the contrary: a well-functioning root chakra is what allows you to transcend any limiting beliefs found in your tribal roots.

In other words, a strong root chakra allows you to stand up for yourself. You also have no trouble providing for yourself. My Guides would say: you know who you are in truth.

Physically, the root chakra’s energy pours into your feet, legs, indeed your whole skeletal system, the rectum, and importantly, your immune system.

When the Root Chakra Is Blocked

A poorly functioning root chakra results in a disconnect from positive values. This blocked energy causes a myriad of dysfunctions:

• Hoarding, especially hoarding of money, or the fear that you do not have enough

• Excessive anxiety, panic attacks, and worries

• Fears of abandonment

• A lack of motivation (unless you are a male teenager, in which case you are probably just growing up)

• A painful or negative connection to your family and its culture, especially its beliefs and rules

These safety and security issues can manifest directly as back pain. A malfunctioning root chakra starts to deplete numerous other energy systems, which can trigger:

• Depression

• Immune disorders

• Rectal cancer

• Constipation

• Alcoholism is almost always born in a poorly functioning root chakra.

A Real-Life Example

I know a lovely lady, a spiritual teacher who has a poorly functioning root chakra. It might first appear she loves her family and its history, that her root chakra is well functioning, but she inherited trouble from her parents’ Catholic religion, even though she is not consciously aligned to this religion. It taught her parents that they were nobodies, unworthy almost, and like many Catholics of that era, they believed they needed the priests’ intercession to connect to God/Source light.

Her family clung to a destructive humility.

She struggled with alcoholism, and this interfered greatly in her ascension, awakening, and teaching.

Simple Prompts to Connect with Your Root Chakra

These simple prompts will help you connect to the energy of your root chakra and begin healing:

1. Make a list of three positive things your family, culture, or religion gave you.

2. Make the opposite list: three beliefs your family, culture, or religion gave you that no longer serve you.
Do you still feel any residual effects of these beliefs? How does this manifest in your life?

3. Think of one thing you do for your family, culture, or religion—but that you do just to escape their judgment or condemnation. People often think of these as “things I do to keep the peace.”

Now, imagine you are in non-compliance. What happens?

Imagine being in non-compliance and good things happening. Instead of condemnation, you wow people. People grant you a large measure of respect. Imagine joy coming from your non-compliance.

Next Up: The Sacral Chakra

There are three systems to the human body’s energetics: the physical body, the auric field, and the chakra system. These systems are tightly woven together and work synergistically; each system powerfully affects the other two, and the health of one system determines the health of the other two systems.

The Physical Body

The first is your physical body, the one you know intimately.

Seth: Your body is your own living sculpture—not only the shape, structure and nature of its form, but the miraculous sense-knowledge of its being and the unique effect it has upon others.

The human physical body is astonishing, mind-boggling, and complex—probably the most complex organism in the universe. Indeed, your body has multiple systems and trillions of different parts and activities, virtually all of them hidden from awareness, but that continuously work toward keeping you keeping on, always aiming for homeostasis, a balance that is the definition of health and wellbeing.

And the whole of this magnificent physical body is itself a byproduct of an infinitely more complex energy system:

Your Auric Field

What is your auric field? The complex electromagnetic energy that surrounds and indeed creates your physical body.

It is made up of seven unique layers of light energy. Each of these layers of light is comprised of millions of strands of light energy; each of these strands is comprised of millions of matrixes; each matrix holds information and directions, much like the DNA of your physical body.

The first three layers of your auric field concern your physical body:

1. Etheric Body: The etheric body holds all the information about your physical body in the language of light and energy—it is creating your physical body. It appears blue to those who can perceive it, and it reaches about two inches out from your physical self.

2. Emotional Body: The second ring from the body is associated with our emotions and, like a giant mood ring, it expands or contracts depending on our emotional state. It holds information about your emotional patterns, as well as traumas and unresolved issues.

This layer of light appears to be a rainbow of colors, but if childhood traumas or extreme emotional events are still operating in your life, it will appear... a muddy color.

3. Mental Body: The third layer of energy holds our thoughts, our mental patterns, and our beliefs. About eight inches out, it appears as a bright yellow color.

Remember the power of positive thinking!

4. The Astral Body: The fourth layer of the auric field connects these first three layers of our physical self with the final three spiritual layers of our being. Your ability to love—how much you love yourself and others—can be measured by the brightness of the rosy, pink color of your astral layer.

5. Etheric Template Layer: Extending at least two feet, here resides the blueprint (created in light codes) for the physical self. It also opens pathways to facilitate our communication and connection to spirit.

Those times when I have seen physical ailments here, they appear here as unattractive mustard yellow splotches.

6. Celestial Body: Reaching about two feet and also colored blue, this is the layer of spiritual awareness, intuition, the activation of your third eye and all the clairs, as well as the direct communication to your Guides.

7. Ketheric Template Layer: The outermost layer, extending up several feet or more, this layer connects to the divine/God/Source light through the crown chakra.

You might be thinking: Interesting, but why do I need to know this?

Shadow Energy Plays in Our Auric Fields

Our auric fields run our shows and determine our health, happiness, our ability to love and be loved, and our connection to God/Source light. As we go about our day, it gets clogged up with shadow energy.

What is shadow energy? Here is an important post describing it, while also explaining what is happening on our global stage right now:
👉 Shadow Energy

Short version: Everything is of God; God is the energy of creation. But there is energy that, while of God, is operating in denial of God. Shadow energy has millions upon millions of forms: from mildly irritating to seriously catastrophic. Negative thoughts, emotions, and beliefs attract it like a beacon.

It attaches to your auric field, where it begins mutating your light, acting as a dimmer switch. You have trouble focusing. You feel fatigued, disheartened, pessimistic. Shadow energy creates illnesses and causes injuries. It erodes your love, steals your laughter, mutes your joy.

Its purpose is to separate you from the light, and it is extremely adept at doing so.

Too much shadow energy and it begins to distort reality. This is what has happened to most people on the planet right now.

THE GAMALGHOOM

I connect to Spirit beings from the Angelic realm who have the hilarious Dr. Seuss name the Gamalghoom. They are best in the universe of Light Beings at pulling shadow from the human auric field and transmuting it back to the light.

When I was first introduced to them, and I began experiencing energy, I felt them pull a two-foot-long black shard from my throat chakra. I went very still in dumbfounded confusion. How could that have been in me, without my awareness?

It took these beautiful (and indeed hilarious) Light Beings about six months to completely clear my field of stuck energy. Once I was doing a guided meditation with Alicia Power at soulmentoring.com (I highly recommend these meditations) and she announced these light beings were going into our heart chakras to clear out any stuck energy from past lives. I thought, I don’t have any stuck energy there!

After several minutes, a giant blob of gray muck was pulled from my heart chakra.

A small, but telling example: I was walking my friend’s dog, who was pulling hard on the leash. This hurt my already sore wrist, and I got mad for about five minutes. (It is not like me to ever get mad at an animal, but there it was, a big lesson.) Hours later, I entered a meditative state where the Gamalghoom clear my field. They removed a huge patch of shadow from my right arm. Startled, I asked where that came from.

My anger at the dog had attracted it to me from the distance, acting like a beacon.

There Are Two Ways to Rid Your Auric Field of Shadow Energy

Amplify your light and push shadow out via:

1. Meditation and prayer:
👉 Melchizedek’s Metta Meditation: A Step-by-Step Guide

2. Pranayama or breathing exercises:
👉 Pranayama: Breathing Exercises

3. Laughter

4. All exercise, but especially yoga, swimming (especially in a natural body of water—and don’t forget to bless the water you swim in), running and walking outdoors, especially through a forest.

5. Love in all its many forms:
👉 Melchizedek’s Metta Meditation: A Step-by-Step Guide

6. Immersion in art, all art but especially music.

Ask your Guides to clean your auric field.

All spiritual teachers, including of course Melchizedek, emphasize the necessity of clearing your auric field every day.

It is a simple process. Again, begin with breathing exercises:
👉 Pranayama: Breathing Exercises

During the retention, imagine Divine light pouring in through your crown chakra at the top of your head.

Say these words from Melchizedek:

“I am Word through this intention to call forth Divine Light to clear my energy field of anything and everything that is needing to clear. I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”

Or ask your Guides to facilitate this during meditation:

Brief review for my new readers: Your soul is eternal; there will never be an end to your existence. Let that sink in. You exist in eternity now. (This gives new meaning to the wise words of my yoga guru Pattabhi Jois: Why hurry?)

Your soul has not created one or two lifetimes but hundreds of them—and for very slow learners (the “old souls” amongst us), thousands of them.

Think of your soul as a great writer. This life is one of the many stories your soul has created. The setting is somewhere on earth. The characters change in each story. Occasionally favorite characters from one story appear again in another, but they play different roles in the new setting. The situation and adventure change dramatically with each incarnation.

Who you are today is a costume your soul chose to experience this lifetime.

National Political Alert:

Troubled by what “THEY” are doing? Instead of condemning “those terrible people,” see them as wearing a costume in this life. In this story, they are villains—and like all of us, they will learn their lessons. In other words, they are going to discover the high cost of their villainy. Every person ends their time on Mother Earth with a life review, and “those people” will discover just how deep and painful regret can be.

Armed with this understanding, employ the metta meditation practice to hold “these people” in the light of God/Source love.

This practice is the most transformative on Earth:
Melchizedek’s Metta Meditation: A Step-by-Step Guide

Back to the Metaphysics of Reality:

You are living in a movie of your own creation.

Reality is made up, and you are making it up. Your consciousness (you!) creates your reality with your thoughts, emotions, and most of all, your beliefs. Your personal reality is shaped by our collective reality, but the personal reality is primary.

Beliefs are the major whammy in the creation of reality.

Your beliefs shape both thoughts and emotions; they serve as the basic building blocks of your reality. While what is true is always true—God is love; God is the energy of creation; God is All That Is; nothing and no one is ever outside of God—most beliefs have little or no relationship to truth.

Put bluntly: Beliefs are made up. They are chosen, or often passed down from our culture or family, without their truth ever being questioned.

Here is the main rule that governs beliefs: Whatever you believe is true, you will find evidence for it. Your consciousness creates the evidence for the belief. It bears repeating:

• You believe in UFOs? You’ll find sightings and signs and like-minded people.

• You think UFOs are only the stuff of science fiction? You will continually find support for what some people feel is ‘impossible’, usually due to this or that “law of physics.” (ETs consider our so called ‘laws of physics’ primitive.)

• You believe supplements are worthless? You’ll find studies and stories confirming it.

• You believe supplements provide many health benefits? Ditto.

• You believe people are mostly good? Evidence appears.

• You believe people are mostly bad? Evidence appears.

It is an eye-popping revelation to most people: Your consciousness finds evidence to match your beliefs—not the other way around. Humans are excellent at this game! Once a belief is claimed, almost no amount of contrary evidence even registers. Indeed, any antagonistic evidence is promptly discarded, often with little to no consideration.

We have all witnessed this. Our Internet age has only reinforced and magnified the power of our beliefs. AI happily reinforces any belief you present it with; AI is a mirror of your beliefs.

Common Beliefs That Create the Very Reality They Lament:

• Life is difficult and full of sorrows.

• I am unlovable.

  One of my dearest friends holds this belief, delivered to her by her difficult mother. She is smart, successful, kind, thoughtful, and beautiful. She is also unhappy. Chapter Seven in the seminal book The Book of Love and Creation, channeled by Paul Selig, will knock this belief out of your mind, I promise. A life-changing chapter in a life-changing book.

• I am at the mercy of my past; my childhood did irreparable damage to me.

• My political party is better than the other political party.

• My religion knows the truth, and no other religion does.

  This one belief has shaped millions upon millions of lives throughout the ages.

• I am losing my health as I age; your body falls apart as you age.

  Think how this pernicious this one belief is!

• I’ve never had great health; my hair is thinning; I’m losing muscle, libido; energy: I am so tired; I have bad eyesight; I am losing my hearing, etc, etc, etc.

• People who have money are greedy; people who have money are less spiritual than other people; our family never has enough money; I never have enough money.

  These common beliefs keep people from the heart-lifting thrill of knowing they live in abundance, that they always have enough.

• Only a certain kind of Christian goes to heaven.

• People in that party are bad, or dumb, or both.

• I am not creative. I have no imagination. I am not good at math.

• The world/country/neighborhood is going downhill fast.

• The universe is made up of random events that hold no meaning.

• There is no God.

Again: ALL these beliefs are met with experience.

Here Is a Magic Metaphysical Spell:

1. Find one belief that is not serving you.

2. Start repeating the opposite belief three times.

3. Each time briefly imagine the happy consequences after you repeat your mantra.

4. Feel into the joy of your new belief.

DO THIS THREE TIMES A DAY.

It takes, on average, six weeks for the new belief to show up in your reality.
