The Courageous Path

Many people deal with physical pain on a regular basis. It can be hard to function when one's body is feeling such discomfort.

The good news is that something can be done about this.

It starts with learning about aligning the mind to help heal the body, through positive visualization, stress reduction through meditation, addressing anxiety or depression with coping strategies, and removing negative thoughts/associations/beliefs that have been received by the body and are manifesting as illness/pain. 

Some questions to consider in examining the roots of this are: 
- What negative beliefs do I hold about myself that may be contributing to my symptoms? 
- What “blocked” emotions may be contributing to this physical illness, especially as connected to relationships with others? 
- Who have I not forgiven (including myself)?

There are many studies that show that working with the subconscious mind (especially through hypnosis) can help with medical conditions. One study (Check and Lecron, 1968) showed that “reducing emotional intrapsychic conflicts associated with one’s health and illness can be worked through with hypnotherapy,” and another study (Hall, Longo and Dixon (1982) indicated that the “capacity of hypnotic suggestion to modulate the function and activity of the immune system by changing the number and response capacity of T and B cells.” (Torem, 2007) 

One can learn self-hypnosis to manage discomfort with: disassociation (imagery of a peaceful place), visualizations for pain control (turning down a dial or closing a gate), glove anesthesia (imagining your hand as numb and putting your hand on the discomfort), metaphors/symbols/imagery (like going through a tunnel) to “talk to the pain.”

I am delighted to offer a Managing Pain meditation to offer you some strategies and visualizations that help with discomfort you are experiencing in your body. I hope it is helpful in some way.

Managing Pain Meditation

In this meditation, we clear out any heavy or stuck energy that has been held in the body and replace it with light and with a vision of ourself feeling good and strong. This is a powerful way to bring in healing by releasing what is not for our highest good.

Energy Clearing Meditation

This is a meditation to identify, process and release anger with the energy of the Divine goddess Kali. With her blue light, we tunnel into the emotion and uncover its layers. We begin to help the core center (often the inner child) heal. 

When we think of someone who is angry, we think of someone who is out of control, who we need to be afraid of.. to protect ourselves from. It’s someone we may worry is not safe. But that is often uncontrolled anger. What I’m talking about is simmering anger. In the past few years, many of us have experienced these sorts of emotions ranging from outright, inner rage to a mild, general irritation.

How do we move on from anger and sadness? All of these emotions can lead to overwhelm, lashing out at others, internalizing or a sense of paralysis. Thankfully there are ways to cope. The energy of Divine Feminine goddesses like Kali can help..

Since we are building our new reality as a human collective without any cohesive leadership, we are left to manage this on our own, supporting each other as soul friends. Yet, the real healing and the real answers lie from going within, from looking at our patterns, at the parts that are just stories created by social conditioning and trauma and that aren’t helping us anymore. This is difficult to do, and most people just don’t do it. We are being asked to go deep within to heal. No one else is going to save us or do the work for us.

As for me and the anger, I have various ways I have coped with it. I have written about it, talked about it, and I have been known to scream in the middle of the woods at times. I also exercise regularly, which helps a lot. I go into my Akashic Records to understand where they are coming from, at the source in past lives and in childhood. I am also learning to accept the anger and the sadness, and to let them be. They have information for me, and that information is valuable.

Eventually, as I listen to these feelings, they start to fade away, as their services are no longer required.

Still, the best way to move through and on from these emotions is to tap into your own intuition to guide you. Through meditation comes answers. 

Prayer is asking… meditation is listening.

In the meantime, give yourself permission to FEEL. Allow the emotions to be expressed. You don’t have to let everyone know what’s going on, but a few trusted people can be there to support you. You are safe. You can do this!

Meditation: Transmuting Anger with Kali

The light of Source lies in the space between our thoughts. When we can take time for stillness, we find flow within the peace that is there. It’s hard to put words to describe this, as you know… it’s more of a feeling. 

This short Connecting with Source meditation will help you feel that light within yourself and the awareness that it’s all around, in every snowflake (sacred geometry), in the ripples of water (vibrations), in shells (Fibonacci’s spiral).

The more we take the time to tap into the energy and light of Source/Creator/God, the more that feeling of oneness and flow will permeate what we do, think, say, be. And it will help shift the energy around us and other people too. 

Little by little. We are learning (remembering, really) to be this light.

Connecting With Source Meditation

This is a meditation on Inner Light for the Earth. In order to integrate all the light that we are being flooded with, we have to allow the dense energies (in the form of old beliefs or traumas) in our bodies to surface so they can be transmuted and cleared, making space for all the light.

With the help of angelic energy, this meditation brings in light, and creates a circular flow between each person listening, and with Gaia (the Earth) for mutual/collective healing as we move through the ascension gateway into 5D consciousness. (Angels help shift energy for us, and support us in our own inner growth so we can move forward in ways that we seek.)

Inner Light With Earth Meditation

Going inward for answers of how to proceed in our own lives, and then how to be of service to the collective is what I personally try to practice and what I share with clients.

Spirit Guide Meditation

In this meditation, we shed the layers of the human condition to remember that we are Divine beings. We come into the remembrance that we are one with Source, with God. When we say "I Am" we remember that we are that love of the Creator.

The core of this light is unconditional love that we invite in ourselves that can spill out into the collective. By receiving and sending out reverberations of the frequency of love as waves, like that of the Source of All That Is, we allow ourselves to receive love and we send out ripples of love to all sentient beings in the planet. This is so important to help move humans into higher states of consciousness!

Separating from the Subconscious Stories Meditation

Sometimes we pick up on energy that does not feel like it is ours. This meditation will help you when heavy energy persists so that you can drain it out of your body (from Earth or from a magnet in your mind). Pour light in and fill your body. This is especially important if you are empathic and pick up on other people’s energy. This contains a short 2-minute clearing meditation – enjoy!

Hands-On Energy Healing Meditation

In this meditation, we will focus on healing and transmuting any negative thoughts/behavior/words we have projected onto those amazing vessels we chose upon incarnation, our bodies. I spent years forcing my body to do something it may not have wanted to do, and ignored the messages it was sending me. When my body started communicating messages to me through back pain and injury to my left leg (many of them!), I realized that something was happening and wanted to send energetic love and healing to my body.

Especially for women, our society projects unrealistic, and unhealthy, ideals of what our bodies "should" look like. This can lead to us trying to change, starve or otherwise abuse our bodies, wishing them to be something else. After birthing children, our bodies change and show the residual effects of the miracle of being a mother. Instead of trying to change and become what the unrealistic media expects female bodies to look it, why not embrace all of our parts for what they are? As women, our bodies remind us of our power as giving life, the Divine feminine and the sacred wisdom found within.

When we can learn to love our imperfections and the information our body parts are trying to share with us, we can be more complete and whole in our process of healing ourselves and humanity.

This will be a time of healing to apologize to our bodies, to give thanks for our bodies and to listen to any messages they (and our various body parts have for us). Invoking the energy of Archangel Raphael, we will send healing light to parts of our bodies (hands-on healing) that are in need, and receiving messages from our body parts. We will heart-link and connect with the essence of our bodies, releasing, clearing, unconditionally loving and making whole what was once mistreated.
