SOUL SICKNESS AND SOUL LOSS # 9

TREATMENT

The way to God is with God.

Nature

The Wild Beings of Air, the Growing Beings of Water and the Still Beings of Earth

The Stiil Being can protect through crystals, semiprecious and precious stones and talismans - always through intention and asking to receive.

To experience the Still Beings we must touch them, Growing Beings, listen to them, Wild Beings dance with thema and the Talking Beings feel with them.

 We are all one though not the same.

The soul's fulfilment is through the senses.

From my flesh shall I behold God.

"Wilderness is an instrument for enabling us to recover our lost capacity for religious experience." Laurens Van der Post

The more we immerse ourselves especially in the soft fascinations of nature the more the Earth Mother can help us. We are never Motherless children and God is also always there as Kabbalah teaches, playing hide and seek. However, no one wants to play.

 "Search for me and you will find me, seek me with all your heart and I will let you find me" Jeremiah

The soft fascinations include; the sunsets/sunrises, moonsets/moonrises, the sounds of nature - the mantra of the bush, the gurgling of a creek, the wind in the trees, the aromas and scents, the daily and seasonal changes. We need to immerse and entrain ourselves into natures healing vibrations.

Use aroma, fragrance, incense, essential oils.

Eating or drinking something sacred strengthens the soul. Place a sage leaf in your water bottle. Use rosemary, lavender anything that brings joy. Plants with aroma are plants of power especially if they create incense when dried and burned. Cooking with aromatic spices empowers the food with prayer and intention.

.

Take a sacred bath. Enhance the vibration of the water by playing sacred music, burning incense, lighting a candle and placing sacred plants - juniper, cedar, sage, rosemarie, lavender - in the bath. Emoto's research showed that water has resonance, memory, consciousness and vibration and responds to loving stimuli.

80% of our cells contain water. Connecting our cells with the enhanced vibration of this water creates balance and serenity. One can  do the same where one finds a pristine pool, river or untainted ocean. Breath in white light and goodness and breath out thick black smoke of what you need to get rid of, into the healing water.

CONNECT WITH THE ELEMENTS WITH THE GROWING BEINGS

Smudging

(The Growing Beings of the Water Element Combined with the Air Element of the Fragrance)

This cleansing method is part of all ancient indigenous and other wisdoms. It repels negativity within and blocks any coming from without. Chanting or praying aloud while smudging empowers the plant's soul power to emerge and do its work. 

The Zohar says that the incense offering is the most potent antidote against evil forces. Plants can be used growing, cut or dried.

Breath Work and Sound

(The Air Element)

The Breath

 The breath like the soul is pure. The soul is single, it is never split but it can split from the body. Breath meditation is a powerful way of connecting body with soul and bringing it back to its sensory bound home. Yoga has eight pathways for  rehabilitation of the soul - two of them sensory; the asanas (postures), and Pranayama - breath meditation. 

Source of my power the breath You have given me the breath you have given me is pure.

Flame of the Infinite One is the soul breath of the human.

"What is god? The breath within the breath." Kabir

The soul yearns to do the Creator's will and clings to the body when all is well. A body caught up in sensory pleaures distances itself the soul.

The soul can be brought back to the body by breath meditation - Pranayama in yoga. Ujjayi and Alternate Nostril breath techniques can quickly help us find equanimity and balance. There are excellent dvd's on You Tube worth viewing and they are easily learnt. They can quickly pacify us and switch the brain from an agitated beta, sympathetic, flight of fight state into a relaxed parasympathetic, alfa state.

Sound

(The Air Element)

Sound shatters and crumbles barriers to the mind and heart. Sound speaks to one's vibrations. One of the best ways to cleanse oneself is with sound.

Tibetan gongs, drums, didgeridoos, thumb pianos, crystal bowls...

Sacred mantras that are chanted; bhajans, kirtans... 

 or any music that speaks to ones heart and soul. 

 Love laughter and song chase away the dark and all that is dreaded in your nights and days.

The Three L's

Light

Love 

Laughter

 Find them wherever you can and above all avoid, their opposites at all cost in toxic movies, TV, social media or elsewhere. High vibrations over low ones.

Gratitude

Find joy and gratitude in hidden recesses.

 Neuroscience has shown that gratitude creates happiness and facilitates a positive feedback loop. Gratitude creates more gratitude.

Gratitude is spiritual practice. Check out Robert Emmons research. Gratitude is prayer through thanks rather than supplication.
