Death does not Separate us

Loss of a loved one is difficult since we never get to see them looking or acting in the exact way they were here.  I really felt this on a deep level when I lost my soul brother, Andreas Moritz, last week.  He was an amazing healer whom had the presence of a yogi, health guru, author, and wise friend to many. He has written many books that have helped millions around the world so his wisdom will live on.  He was part of my soul family and I will greatly miss him.  However, my experience with him the other day made me acutely aware of how we help each other--even if we're not currently living in the same dimension.

I was heart broken when I learned that Andreas passed on.  I couldn't stop sobbing and couldn't imagine him not being on this planet as him.  I was also worried about his wife since they were so closely linked in all aspects of each other's lives.

The other day I had an acupuncture appointment with gifted practioner Joe Forman and set my intention that my grief surrounding Andreas would lessen.  I silently asked that Andreas help me with the loss of his human self since I knew his wisdom would live on in the higher realms.  I saw his Spirit appear and gratefully acknowledged his presence.  He showed me his earthly home that I had previously visited when he was alive.  He brought us to the back patio overlooking a beautiful nature scene.  We sat down in two wooden chairs so we could have a conversation.  He addressed my concern about his beautiful wife and told me that she would be okay and that a mutual friend would be instrumental in her healing process.  We then came back to my present day time and he walked towards my head as I lay on the acupuncture table so he could work on me as I requested.  I then conked out.

When I gained consciousness, Joe asked me if Andreas had gray hair and a beard and mustache.  I told him, "yes."  Joe noticed that he was working on my head.  I felt amazingly light and different since Andreas and Joe worked on me.  When I got up from the table, there was a circle of blood underneath my head that was about a nickel to a quarter in size.  Joe only used a total of four needles on my ankles and wrists and neither of us could find blood on my head, neck, or his hands. We both felt certain that it was a sign of the healing work that was done on me.

Its been two days since the miraculous healing by my soul brother Andreas.  I still see him around me at times helping me with some of my clients.  I also know that he's watching over his beloved wife making sure all is well with her.

We all have help from our brothers and sisters in the higher realms.  Our connection is never truly broken.

Acceptance of Self Creates a Better World

All of humanity is going through a change right now which is shown through the political, religious, and economic challenges we're all in and witnessing.  There's been a lot of looking at, clinging to, or separating self from long standing dogmas.  These dogmas amplify separatism, judgments and hate.  The political climate of the United States is a good example of this as we work towards the upcoming elections.  All of this is really an outgrowth of our individual inner state.  Our own insecurities and inability to stand firm in authentic awareness keeps a divisive community in tact.  By working on and accepting ourselves fully, we can extend this acceptance into humanity itself since we are all energetically connected.

How do we know what to change or transform for ourselves?

Look at what triggers you the most in your environment and relationships.  Whatever bothers you the most is what needs the most inner work.

Deep down we all have issues of rejection, abandonment and loss.  We all have a story line or sub core issues attached to these three collective core issues.  The crux of these story lines is that we all feel lack of self love and lack of self confidence.  This in turn keeps us tied into the collective dogmas, which is a kind of collective programming, so we can feel loved and secure.  The challenge is that sticking to divisive dogmas doesn't bred true love and connection--its a false state of security.

The more rigid the belief system, the more there's a lack of acceptance and love for those who do not fit it.  Some people will turn away from loved ones just for not fitting in with the dogmas they feel are important.

How do we heal?

Healing takes inner work.  We need to let go of our old beliefs, memories, patterns, and hurts.  They all need to be healed on a mental, emotional, and physical level.  They do not necessarily heal all at the same time or linearly.

Counseling helps with understanding oneself and other tools such as energy work, guided imagery, hypnosis, EMDR, acupuncture, chiropractic help the emotions and body let go more deeply.  Each modality may have its place along your journey.

The goal is self love and acceptance which in turn goes out to all you meet and all of humanity due to our interconnectedness.  This creates a state of oneness which I believe is what we're ultimately preparing for.

The following energy process can help the mind, emotions and body align with oneness 

• Ask your Higher Self (HS) to direct and your optimal spiritual team to assist (spirits in the other realms/dimension that are more advanced than our human existence and have contracted to assist you in this lifetime). 
• Ask for an energy of protection and energy of invisibility so only those spirits and guides that are optimal can participate and see in.
• Ask that all the work done is throughout your soul's history and beyond, all levels of your Being (your mind, emotions, and body) and all grid systems/energy fields that effect you using non-linear time to process.
• Ask that an energy comes into the 1st chakra (at the tailbone) and 2nd chakra (below the navel) to release beliefs, patterns and experiences that cause separatism and division.
• Ask that a neutralizing energy comes into your 1st chakra (at the tailbone) and all the way up your chakra system (that follows your spine) up to the 7th chakra (top of head) to neutralize the inner conflict within that keeps judgments and hate going within yourself.
• Ask that the old structure (an energetic structure holds something and locks it in) connected to inner conflict and separatism is dismantled and released.
• Ask that an energy of self love, acceptance, and inner unity comes in along with a new structure to hold it and lock it in.
• Ask that a template comes into your heart that encodes into your heart the qualities of love, forgiveness, acceptance and unity so you are a role model for this kind of behavior.
• Ask that your aura (the egg shaped energy around you) is restructured to transmit oneness to the collective.
• Ask that the connecting grid that connects your aura to the universal matrix which is what connects you to all of us, is restructured so that this energy goes to all of humanity and beyond.
• Ask that a strengthening and stabilizing energy comes in for optimal health and vitality so that your body accepts all positive changes as a positive with your HS deciding what that is.
• Ask that all grid systems/energy fields that effect you are restructured and recalibrated into the pattern that reflects the work you did today throughout all time and space and beyond, all appropriate dimension or until no longer needed.
• Ask that a no time, no space cocoon (kind of like a caterpillar cocoon) goes around you (you are asking that your brain moves out of linear time into what most of the universe contains--non-linear time) for a fast processing and upgrade of your energy system.
• Thank your HS for directing, your optimal spirit guides for assisting.  Thank them for continuing to assist throughout completion of this process and beyond with your HS directing it.

You are a Divine Being having a human experience.  

We are in an exciting new era where we now have the tools to let go of the past as we know it and move into a new present and future.  Each one of us doing our own inner work and being a role model for all we meet can change the world as we know it.  Let's join hands and make this a better planet.

Amplified Collective Transformation

Whenever you feel the worst is when the biggest breakthroughs occur!   This is happening in a big way internally and externally and has recently accelerated.  I've been calling it the collective bonanza!

Do you feel extra heavy, emotional, despondent, experiencing more highs and lows than normal for you along with physical ailments?  Our internal self is going through an upgrade into a higher consciousness.  Also, all of us are noticing the polarities or extremes showing up in more obvious ways all around the world in our politics, religion, economies, and families.  It can seem rather dismal if you go with what's actually happening in a three dimensional way but, from a spiritual lens, we're moving through centuries of old beliefs, behaviors, bigotry, gender biases and abuses and hierarchical based challenges.

The darkness felt and witnessed as it emerges from the shadows can be very challenging to be a part of.  However, this is what it takes to bring forth a big transformation.  We must confront our personal and collective shadows.

The last blog talked about how many of us are entering what I'm calling "Stage 7."  Those in Stage 7 embody what its like to be an all inclusive and fulfilled human and how it can apply to community.  This person would set the tone for liberation from the shackles of social, religious, political, economic and ideology formats.  They are all about unconditional love and unity consciousness which is what many of us have been preparing for in the last years.

To move into a Stage 7 world, we need to clear up anything that doesn't fit Stage 7.  The "stuff" that doesn't fit with this stage is unable to stay as the universal downloads coming onto the planet "force" us to let go or go into suffering until we finally have to surrender and make the needed changes.

Just yesterday afternoon I noticed things cooking up energetically more than usual.  Laying down never seemed more inviting or needed.  In fact, I don't think I had a choice.  My body insisted on it!  I've received emails and had sessions that showed this intense clearing time over the last couple of days.  We're all going through this together willing or not willing!

I believe that a big part of this shift is having no viewpoint or judgment about self and others.  Instead, viewpoints are considered a mental construct only there to help us navigate this earthly existence.  Instead we want to go beyond the brain and go into the feeling state of our Spirit or Higher Self (HS) which brings us into unconditional love and unity consciousness.

This doesn't mean we don't take action in our lives. This means that we recognize that all thought and all action are an experience to help us learn and grow.  Our true identify is that of Spirit which is all inclusive, and all loving.

The following healing process is to help facilitate this no viewpoint, no judgment state of Being which then brings forth unconditional love and unity consciousness.

Healing process to move into unconditional love & unity consciousness

• Ask your Higher Self (HS) to direct and your optimal spiritual team to assist (spirits in the other realms/dimension that are more advanced than our human existence and have contracted to assist you in this lifetime). 
• Ask for an energy of protection and energy of invisibility so only those spirits and guides that are optimal can participate and see in.
• Ask that all the work done is throughout your soul's history and beyond, all levels of your Being (your mind, emotions, and body) and all grid systems/energy fields that effect you using non-linear time to process.
• Ask that an energy comes into the 2nd chakra (below the navel) reminding you of the importance of ALL your relationship connections.
• Ask that an energy comes into the 3rd chakra (at the waist) bringing in confidence in all that you've chosen to learn with all people in your life.
• Ask that an energy comes in to the heart moving up to throat, the 3rd eye (between your eyes--its about intuition) and top of head bringing in the true meaning of love.
• Ask that an energy comes into the top of the head and down the chakra system (down to tail bone) transforming all erroneous love notions and beliefs.
• Ask that an energy comes in to your aura, etheric body and chakra system reminding you to enjoy each short phase in life before its all over.
• Ask that an energy goes into the brain transmuting the brain's trained responses to outer situations in our life that are unhelpful.
• Ask that an energy comes into release worry and ruminations.
• Ask that a new doorway of possibilities comes into your energy field bringing in limitless love and unity consciousness activating joyful interaction with all you meet.
• Ask that a strengthening and stabilizing energy comes in for optimal health and vitality so that your body accepts all positive changes as a positive with your HS deciding what that is.
• Ask that all grid systems/energy fields that effect you are restructured and recalibrated into the pattern that reflects the work you did today throughout all time and space and beyond, all appropriate dimension or until no longer needed.
• Ask that a no time, no space cocoon (kind of like a caterpillar cocoon) goes around you (you are asking that your brain moves out of linear time into what most of the universe contains--non-linear time) for a fast processing and upgrade of your energy system.
• Thank your HS for directing, your optimal spirit guides for assisting.  Thank them for continuing to assist throughout completion of this process and beyond with your HS directing it.

Do this process each day for awhile and, over time, once a week, then once a month.  Do it until it feels like a part of you.  Do this along with the healing process for Stage 7 on last week's blog.

The more of us that focus on an all inclusive, loving, accepting self and humanity, the faster this will come to be.

After all, you are a Divine Being having a human experience.  What better time than now to claim this truth as a part of who you are and transfer this knowledge to all you meet.

Stages of Faith, Stage 7

The last blog talked about Stage 6.  During this stage, a person can see many sides to a situation despite how difficult it may be to see the reality of it.  They also make new meaning out of what they see which is accomplished by letting go of old views, beliefs, and ways of thinking of the world.  They can hold many complex views simultaneously and accept that many views exist despite not necessarily agreeing with all of them.  Stage 6 is still divided because the self is caught between universalizing apprehensions and the need to preserve its self in some way.

Stage 7, (Fowler's Stage 6) is Universalizing Faith.  In Fowler's day, he didn't know of anyone who was actually in this stage and found it to be extremely rare.  The person who is in this stage has a faith that includes all of humanity and all Beings.  Those in Stage 7 embody what its like to be an all inclusive and fulfilled human and how it can apply to community.  This person would set the tone for liberation from the shackles of social, religious, political, economic and ideology formats.  They are all about unconditional love and unity consciousness which is what many of us have been preparing for in the last years by working with and through Stage 6.

A lot of what we are talking about today revolves around Stage 7.  Many of us savor the idea of unity consciousness, unconditional love, and all inclusiveness.  The challenge comes when our differences cause us to judge, become upset, and alienate each other.

How do we move into Stage 7's ultimate consciousness?

This can be difficult.  Especially when we witness and hear of people hurting each other through greed, violence, and slander.  How do we feel unconditional love and all inclusiveness with these types of things going on in the world?

Part of it is seeing, feeling and embodying something different than the current human story.  To move out of the story of this temporary state of humanity is something that requires an insight and embodiment of a consciousness much higher than what is currently part of the human consciousness.

Many of us believe we are currently being prepared for this Stage 7 model of living on this planet due to the expanding vibrations filtering onto the planet.  You could see it as the planets and stars lining up in just the exact correct configuration which then shifts the way energy is downloaded and/or experienced on the planet.  You could see it as an anointed time that we, as a collective, or some higher power, has proclaimed as the time to change the story line we've been experiencing for many centuries.  You could see it as a part of the chaos theory where anything that's been stagnant for too long will naturally move into chaos thus bringing about inevitable change.  Or perhaps you have a view that is unique to you on what is happening on the planet at this time.

The story doesn't really matter in terms of why this is all happening.  The important thing is that it IS and that we all have the opportunity to move into a way of thinking, feeling, and Being that is much grander and loving than ever before.

First, you must decide to utilize these amazing energies for your own personal growth.  If you haven't moved into Stage 5 or 6 yet, you can do so much faster than ever before since these amazing energies are quick clearing agents and seem to leave the time/space continuum out of the equation.

As you quickly move to the end of Stage 6, stay open to a way of looking at life that is totally new. Perhaps there is no view.  Perhaps its all an inner experience that feels love and connection no matter what is showing up around you since the inner experience is beyond the three dimensional reality.

Meditation helps greatly with this which is described in the Stage 6 blog.  Being open to integrating the energies flowing down on the planet at this time is essential to unity consciousness since they are coming in for that purpose.  Living your life as a walking meditation or prayer allows for a continuous flow of new ideas and ways of Being to flow in through your Higher Self/your Spirit.

What I've been noticing

I have been noticing, with my clients and friends, a lot of Stage 6 activity.  Everyone is meeting head on with their core issues and feel compelled to deal with them despite the intensity and fear factor attached to them.  These core issues have a personal, ancestral, and collective component to them.  I'm also noticing people longing for something more...something more loving, more satisfying, more purpose filled.  Everyone is seeking.

I include myself as a Stage 7 seeker.  I am fully immersing myself in the energies coming in for all of us which includes opening myself up to much higher insights.  I hunger for a world where we all know we are equal in loveability, value, and have shared resources.

As I stay within my intention for a Stage 7 consciousness and Stage 7 world, I find that anything within me that doesn't fit with this mode of Being and living comes roaring up to the surface where I then need to let go of it so it doesn't interfere with this important intention.

Healing process to move into Stage 7

• Ask your Higher Self (HS) to direct and your optimal spiritual team to assist (spirits in the other realms/dimension that are more advanced than our human existence and have contracted to assist you in this lifetime).  Ask for an energy of protection and energy of invisibility so only those spirits and guides that are optimal can participate and see in.
• Ask that all the work done is throughout your soul's history and beyond, all levels of your Being (your mind, emotions, and body) and all grid systems/energy fields that effect you using non-linear time to process.
• Ask that  an energy comes into the 2nd chakra (below the navel) to upgrade your definition of relationship so you are acclimated into a new, supportive, optimal role with those you know and all you meet.
• Ask that your aura (egg shaped energy around you that is the energy field that attracts what you need for learning), connecting grid (connects up to the universal matrix) and the universal matrix  (connects all people and all things) is restructured for acceptance, unconditional love and inclusion of all humanity.
• Ask that an energy of power and mastery comes in and that this power and mastery is structured into the connecting grid and universal matrix connecting you with all souls through this mastery.
• Ask that your etheric body (blueprint of your mind, emotions, and body), aura, connecting grid, and universal matrix is restructured  for easy, all inclusive communication with all you meet so that personal, ancestral, and community issues can be worked through optimally to full resolution.
• Ask that a heart opening energy comes in so you connect with all you meet through a loving, open heart.
• Ask that a strengthening and stabilizing energy comes in for optimal health and vitality so that your body accepts all positive changes as a positive with your HS deciding what that is.
• Ask that all grid systems/energy fields that effect you are restructured and recalibrated into the pattern that reflects the work you did today throughout all time and space and beyond, all appropriate dimension or until no longer needed.

Stages of Faith, Stage 6

The last blog talked about the young adult phase where breaking free from external authority to rely on one's inner authority is established.  Many people do not make it to this phase and stay in the previous adolescent phase where authority is based on external authority which typically comes from one's family and religion.

Stage 6 (Fowler's Stage 5) is the Conjunctive Faith.  At the time of his writing of the book, in the 1970's (the book was published in 1981), he found Stage 6 a difficult one to explain since it wasn't real common.  This is the stage where there is a "knowing" about life that is very complex.  It moves beyond Stage 5's either/or thinking.  Stage 6 is where many sides of a situation can be seen simultaneous to each other.  A feature of this stage is that the individual is willing to let reality speak its word regardless of the impact of that world on the security or self-esteem of the knower.

This means there is an ability to be in reality about your life's circumstances (including difficult things going on in your life) along with being willing to work through your past--even if its difficult.  This means that denial is less apt to be present in your life.  You just want to accept and be present with whatever life is bringing you.

Unlike during Fowler's day, I believe that many of us are in Stage 6 now.  Many of us have been and are delving into our inner world and sorting through our past.  Many of us are choosing to be in reality about our life circumstances and not sugar coat it into something that it is not.  Many of us can see the complexities of life from many angles.  I am so excited that so many of us are on this beautiful journey of Stage 6 together because it means that we are creating a critical mass into a new way of Being in the world.

How do you move into Stage 6?

First off, you have to already be in Stage 5 where you have established an internal authority for yourself.  Then, you have to be ready to make an honest evaluation of your life--the good, the bad, and the ugly included--and work towards forgiveness of self and others and acceptance of all there is.  This doesn't mean you won't have days of irritation, upsetness, and wishing things were different.  This means that you are willing to do the inner work needed to move forward differently.  Doing the inner work means you can then accept your external world.  This in turn allows you to see things in complex ways.

If there are traumatic and difficult things to work through, you need to confront them and move through them.  This is best done with a professional.  If there are less traumatic and difficult things to move through, you must be willing to be with yourself and allow all of the emotions, feelings, outdated beliefs, and sensations to bubble up to the surface so you can be with them, witness them,  accept them so the body can let them go.

Meditation is a good way to do this.  It can be very helpful to sit quietly with your spine straight in a chair or on the floor in the lotus position.  Focus on your breath, 3rd eye or heart.  Whenever your mind wanders, go right back to your breath, 3rd eye or heart.  Doing this will put you in a very relaxed state so that your body can release tensions and stress.

Another helpful thing to do is to relax (either in a meditative pose or laying down) and to pay attention to your body.  Pay attention to which areas of your body feel more tense, emotional, or stressed.  If you have many areas, pick the most obvious area or, if you can, focus on everything that is stressful all at once.  Keep a pinpointed focus on the tense/stressed area.  If your mind wanders, bring it right back to the tense area.  As you stay with the tense area, you may feel grief.  Stay with the grief.  As you stay with the grief, you may cry or it may dissolve. Or you may see an image (without trying to) in your body.  Stay focused on it.  If you're able to, merge with the image.   Stay with the image until it transforms into something else.  Keep staying with whatever you're experiencing until the area feels clear.

If you feel resistance, this is normal feeling at times.  Just be with the resistance until it clears.  If it won't clear while you're focused on it, go back to it each day until it does.

Doing this every day, is a good way to keep yourself as clear as possible internally so that you can feel mostly good about yourself and your life (no one does so perfectly).  Some days will be very good while others may not be since this is how life is--there are good days and not so good days.  Acceptance of these variations is the key to true wisdom.

Healing process to help move into Stage 6

• Ask your Higher Self (HS) to direct and your optimal spiritual team to assist (spirits in the other realms/dimension that are more advanced than our human existence and have contracted to assist you in this lifetime).  Ask for an energy of protection and energy of invisibility so only those spirits and guides that are optimal can participate and see in.
• Ask that all the work done is throughout your soul's history and beyond, all levels of your Being (your mind, emotions, and body) and all grid systems/energy fields that effect you using non-linear time to process.
• Ask that an energy comes into the aura (the egg shaped energy field around you) and etheric body (the blueprint of your mind, emotions, and body) to release grief including the beliefs that cause it.
• Ask that your spirit guides (with your HS directing this) "rewire" the energetic brain to create detachment from difficult circumstances from the past creating an emotional release.
• Ask that energy comes into the 3rd eye and brain shifting thoughts and emotions to life giving, positive ones.
• Ask that a structure locks in these positive thoughts and feelings.
• Ask that an infusion of light comes in so you can hold energies of higher consciousness and higher vibration.
• Ask that a strengthening and stabilizing energy comes in for optimal health and vitality so that your body accepts all positive changes as a positive with your HS deciding what that is.
• Ask that all grid systems/energy fields that effect you are restructured and recalibrated into the pattern that reflects the work you did today throughout all time and space and beyond, all appropriate dimension or until no longer needed.
• Ask that a no time, no space cocoon (kind of like a caterpillar cocoon) goes around you (you are asking that your brain moves out of linear time into what most of the universe contains--non-linear time) for a fast processing and upgrade of your energy system.
• Thank your HS for directing, your optimal spirit guides for assisting.  Thank them for continuing to assist throughout completion of this process and beyond with your HS directing it.

This is a good exercise to do regularly for awhile since these types of releases do not happen overnight.  It takes patience and tenacity to work through your inner world.

We are living in an era of great promise and potential!  Each of us doing our inner work and moving into higher consciousness helps all of us since we are all energetically connected.  The more of us doing this work together, the more we reach a critical mass where a collective shift can occur to move us collectively into unconditional love and acceptance.

You are a Divine Being having a human experience.  Keep reminding yourself of this to activate the knowing of who you truly are (a Divine Being) and create new, exciting possibilities for yourself and humanity.

Stages of Faith - Stage 5

The last blog talked about Stage 4 which is the adolescent phase where teenagers are trying to figure out who they are and how they are perceived.  This is a time of experimentation which can be quite challenging and create difficult drama that needs to be worked through later in life.

Stage 5 (Fowler's Stage 4) is the Individuative-Reflective Faith (typically 20's but can be much later if at all) - To move to Stage 5, reliance on external sources of authority must be interrupted.  Some young adults will move to the opposite stance of their parents or those they previously thought were authority figures.  This allows them to move away from external authority being in charge of their lives to an internal authority.  A new sense of self is developed during this time frame which is critical to being a mature adult.   This includes thinking in a whole new way meaning a new value system emerges based on their own inner truth.

If this stage happens naturally in your 20's, then the transition from Stage 4 to Stage 5 is relatively smooth since you're recently on your own.  Its a natural progression into your own way of thinking about your life and the world.  If it doesn't happen during this time frame, major life events can prompt you into Stage 5 such as a divorce, death, loss of something important to you such as a valued job.  If a crisis pushes you into Stage 5, it can be a rough ride into a new perspective and sense of self since you've already based your relationships and your roles on your previously held viewpoints which are based on the "group think."  Extricating yourself from this can be painful and challenging and take some time--perhaps up to seven years.

If you find yourself still in Stage 4 and want to move to Stage 5, how can you do this relatively painlessly if you're now in your later years?

A big part of this is being open to change and being willing to look at things differently.  You may need to see a therapist to do so since therapy helps significantly with looking at old outdated viewpoints and finding new ways to view self, your family, and your world.

Another thing to do, which I've found extremely helpful, is to ask for a perception and attitude adjustment or change that will move you into alignment with your Higher Self (HS) creating your own internal value system.  Meditating with this as the intention allows the brain to get out of the way so that a new insight can drop in from your HS.

To meditate, sit quietly in a chair or in a lotus position on the floor and focus on your breath or bring your attention to your heart or 3rd eye.  You may find your brain ruminating and going over the grocery list as you meditate but keep bringing your focus back to your breath or your third eye or heart (which ever method makes you feel more centered).  Some days you may have great success keeping your brain out of the way; other days you may not.  That's okay.  That's normal.  The more you do it, the more results you'll get.

Healing Process For Moving into Stage 5 and Preparing for Stage 6

• Do the healing processes given in the previous blogs on Stages 1 - 4.  Wait a few days or more inbetween each healing process/each blog exercise given unless you have done a lot of energetic/healing work already geared towards raising the vibration/consciousness of your physical body
• Ask your Higher Self (HS) to direct and your optimal spiritual team to assist (spirits in the other realms/dimension that are more advanced than our human existence and have contracted to assist you in this lifetime).  Ask for an energy of protection and energy of invisibility so only those spirits and guides that are optimal can participate and see in.
• Ask that all the work done is throughout your soul's history and beyond, all levels of your Being (your mind, emotions, and body) and all grid systems/energy fields that effect you using non-linear time to process.
• Ask that a white energy comes into the aura (the egg shaped energy field around you) and into the etheric body (the blueprint of your mind, emotions, and body) "waking you up to new beliefs about yourself, your family, your work, your culture, and your new role in life."  Ask that as many vibrations/energies come in as needed to begin the process of what has been asked for.
• Ask that an energy comes in to break down the barriers of who you think you are.
• Ask that an energy comes in to revitalize the area(s) in your life that have been traditionally challenging.
• Ask that an energy of invigoration comes in to activate a positive direction for this challenging area(s).
• Ask that a new energetic structure comes in to lock-in and activate the positive energy and direction.
• Ask that a positive energy comes in to clear out thoughts and fears that do not fit with this positive direction.
• Ask that your brain creates new pathways and and pleasure points for a happy, creative, fulfilling life based on your soul/HS's best and optimal life.
• Ask that a strengthening and stabilizing energy comes in for optimal health and vitality so that your body accepts all positive changes as a positive with your HS deciding what that is.
• Ask that all grid systems/energy fields that effect you are restructured and recalibrated into the pattern that reflects the work you did today throughout all time and space and beyond, all appropriate dimension or until no longer needed.
• Ask that a no time, no space cocoon (kind of like a caterpillar cocoon) goes around you (you are asking that your brain moves out of linear time into what most of the universe contains--non-linear time) for a fast processing and upgrade of your energy system.
• Thank your HS for directing, your optimal spirit guides for assisting.  Thank them for continuing to assist throughout completion of this process and beyond with your HS directing it.

It is important to become the master of your own life.  We are moving into a new era/portal of change so its never been more important than now to do so.  Not only do you want to be the own master of your life/your reality, you want to create a totally new reality for yourself that is NOT based on the past.

Allow your Higher Self to guide you towards what this means for you.  Allow your Higher Self to let go of the past as you know it and create an optimal present and future that hasn't been thought up by your brain before--something new, fulfilling, and life changing.  Only your own Higher Self can bring that forth for you.  The time is NOW to do so.

After all, you're a Divine Being having a human experience.  You have all the makings of a wonderful new life!

Stages of Faith - Stage 4

The last blog talked about Stage 3 which is the concrete thinking stage (age 6 or 7 to 12) where people get stuck in their own narrative based on what appears to be "real" and what seems to be "make believe."  If any traumas or difficult situations happen to you during this stage of life and you haven't worked on healing them, you may find yourself stuck in this kind of thinking today.

Stage 4 (Fowler's Stage 3) - Synthetic Conventional Faith (age 12 to 18 or 19) is the abstract thinking stage where new insights, anxieties, and commitments are forming.   Teenagers are still guided by their parents belief systems and those of their peers.  Their own beliefs and knowings are not quite formed yet.  At this age a person's identity is forming where they ask themselves, who am I?  How do others see me? What do others think about me?

Many people get stuck in this stage.  I call this the "sheep mentality" type of thinking.  This is where you follow what others think without really questioning whether it makes sense to you or whether it is really kind to others or self.  If you're "stuck" in Stage 4, you will continue following your parents religious beliefs and the beliefs of those considered authority figures including the beliefs of your peers.  This would indicate that a "locus of control" has not yet been developed which means an internal feeling that your personal choices can effect your life path does not yet exist.  You would probably believe that the trajectory of your life path is up to other people's decisions and external events.

What keeps someone stuck in Stage 4?

The teen years is when many traumas and difficulties take place due to raging hormones, more risk taking, and experimentation with drugs and alcohol.  These create the perfect scenario for devastating events and inner conflict.  Almost everyone can come up with at least one event that is super hard during this time period in life. Its a time of much doubt and inner conflict even without difficult external circumstances.  Its also when many people have their first feelings of love where the heart is hurt or broken.

If you haven't worked through these challenges, they still reside within your mind, emotions and body even if you're unaware of them.  They stay put like an invisible undercurrent controlling how you respond to life even though your'e unaware of what is driving the behaviors.

Breaking out of Stage 4

The main goal of breaking out of Stage 4 is to be your own expert and to find your own answers.  This doesn't mean you don't ask for other people's opinions.  Its good to seek the council of others so you can look at all angles of a situation.  However, all decisions should come from your own inner wisdom and inner council.  Even if you decide, later on, that you made an error, this is how we all learn and grow so there are really no true errors.

Healing Process to break out of Stage 4

• Ask your Higher Self (HS) to direct and your optimal spiritual team to assist (spirits in the other realms/dimension that are more advanced than our human existence and have contracted to assist you in this lifetime).  Ask for an energy of protection and energy of invisibility so only those spirits and guides that are optimal can participate and see in.
• Ask that all the work done is throughout your soul's history and beyond, all levels of your Being (your mind, emotions, and body) and all grid systems/energy fields that effect you using non-linear time to process.
• Ask that an energy comes into your brain disengaging you from viewpoints that are not in alignment with your own truth which is aligned with your own Spirit/HS.
• Ask that an energy comes into your aura (the egg shaped energy field around you) and etheric body (the blueprint of your mind, emotions, and body) focusing on your third eye (between your eyes that is considered your intuition) and brain increasing discernment and focus on what is best for your optimal growth.
• Ask that an energy comes into your medulla (the hollow in the center of your neck where your skull and neck meet) and up to your frontal lobe (a part of your brain) to activate expanded awareness and direction.
• Ask that an energy comes into your aura and etheric body releasing old relationship hurts and problems not fitting our new awareness and direction.
• Ask that points of light form a grid that becomes a part of your etheric body to release your brain's attachment to old emotions and the physical constructs that go with it.
• Ask that a beam of light goes into the liver to transmute old self judgement and anger at self.
• Ask that a rectangular energy goes around you representing "death of the old" so that your past can fully transform via this energy.
• Ask that your HS connects you to your "future self" where you are fully confident, discerning, and within your power which is aligned with your most mature and loving self. 
• Ask that a strengthening and stabilizing energy comes in for optimal health and vitality so that your body accepts all positive changes as a positive with your HS deciding what that is.
• Ask that all grid systems/energy fields that effect you are restructured and recalibrated into the pattern that reflects the work you did today throughout all time and space and beyond, all appropriate dimension or until no longer needed.
• Ask that a no time, no space cocoon (kind of like a caterpillar cocoon) goes around you (you are asking that your brain moves out of linear time into what most of the universe contains--non-linear time) for a fast processing and upgrade of your energy system.
• Thank your HS for directing, your optimal spirit guides for assisting.  Thank them for continuing to assist throughout completion of this process and beyond with your HS directing it.

As you move out of limited thinking and believing that other people hold the answers to your life, remember that there are no real errors when you make your own decisions.  Its all about learning and growth.  How can you move into true wisdom without learning from your own decisions?

Also remember that you are a Divine Being having a human experience.  You are not your experiences.  All experiences are part of an interesting adventure here on planet earth.  Remember to enjoy the ride!
