THE MAGICAL POWER OF NATURE # 7

THE ELEMENTS

God’s rivers of pleasure and good are fed by the watershed

of the soul’s capacity for enjoyment

and of their emptying into its ocean.

WATER IS IN THE NORTH

Growing Beings

URIEL                                                                                        Light, Illumination, Mystery

Waters of wisdom, waters of love, grace of life,

be present here and flow within.

The Second Chakra is of the Water element and is the Chakra of

Procreation (Sex), Digestion (Urine) and Elimination (Gut).

Follow the River to its Source, breathe it into being, the moisture

is of the wellspring.

Water has memory, resonance and consciousness.

Thought, intention, prayers and sacred intentions 

or the right music vibration may have an effect on our deep spring within.Our consciousness and thoughts also have the potential

to change the resonance of the water molecules in our bodies. 

Emoto was concerned that if thought could affect water in this way, 

then what could it do to our bodies which contain 70-80% water? 

Hence, it may be wise to place a sacred plant -

say a white sage leaf - in one's water container to change its vibration

and also make a blessing or prayer before drinking.

Water is essential for cooking and aromatic

plants themselves have protective properties.

While cooking why not add

aromatic spices, and then en'joy' the food with healing intent.

Eating and drinking can also be a meditation

as well as an occasion for gratitude.

What are the musical tastes of water?

How does it react when it is talked to with love? 

How does it respond to thought and intentions. T. Emoto

  

Water is life. We all depend on it. We also need it as a container

for prayer, ritual and spiritual cleansing.

If one cannot add sacred plants, music, incense etc. then

when using water for spiritual purpose it should ideally be continually

flowing. Religious Jews using a Mikva

depend on this continual flow and prayer alone to change its vibration.

" A river arose out of Eden forming Four Rivers

(possibly the Tigris, Euphrates, Nile and Ganges)

and Four Winds which animate all of creation." The Zohar

The "Winds" represent the Breath-Spirit of the Creator without which

we would not be alive. Nor would the

Still Beings, Growing and Wild Beings

who are animated by the same Spirit each according its own unique vibration 

- the Great Spirit that moves through all things. 

“Water is the driving force of nature.“

Indeed, there can be no life without water.

But what are the secrets hidden in this amazing part of nature?

How did it come to Earth? Who brought it? Leonardo Da Vinci

It is said that men fight over oil but kill for water.

The properties of water are totally unique

and cannot be explained entirely by the laws of physics.

Remember the wisdom of wild things, the holiness of elements

and the healing powers of waters.

Water trickling from the top of the hill

is but a drop of the deep spring within.

Our cells contain 80% water. 

God says, "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities . . . 

Iniquities are etched into the bones. To be purified one has to remove the stain.” Ezekiel

Jesus said that the baptism of John was directed from heaven, for the remission of sins.” (Matt 21:25)  

The Native American sweat lodge cleanses with steam

as can we if we have access to a sauna and employ; incense, sound... etc.

Or take a bath with intention and attention to its vibrational possibilities.

If water has consciousness, maybe it responds to the Law of Attraction;

wish people well and do good things and

the deep spring within also will be 'happy.'

 

THE MAGICAL POWER OF NATURE # 6

THE ELEMENTS

FIRE IS IN THE SOUTH

AS ARE

THE TALKING BEINGS

RAFAEL - for Healing, Cleansing

Fire is a lower vibration than that of air.

Fire of warmth, of transformation, 

light of inspiration be in this flame and burn within. 

Without air and oxygen there could be no fire and without fire 

we could not have survived as hunter gatherers. Nor would we have

incense for our spiritual life.

The element of the Third Chakra is Fire. This Chakra is related to power and

how we make our way in the world. Ego's triad with its self-cherishing, Desirous

Attachment and Judgment govern here.

We Talking Beings usually destroy with our Fire element.

However, if we were attached to our spiritual life rather than the

material, we would be able to open the heart and be in the Fourth Chakra of love

and the Air Element.

The Yogis say this is the hardest of all Chakras to open.

Pranayama - the yoga science of breath mediation uses

the diaphragm to catalyze our Fire energy into

that of Air and into the higher, growth Chakras.

RAFAEL IS THE ARCHANGEL OF HEALING

AND CLEANSING

We can call on This power at any time.

We need fire (gas or electricity to heat water or create steam.)

The Native American Sweat Lodge is a powerful cleansing ritual

with many Air Element components to facilitate healing and transcendence

- incense smoldering on red hot rocks -

chanting and coherence within the group -

where the sum of the parts is greater that the whole.

A feather from the Wild Beings and their Air Element

can be used for smudging in or outside the lodge.

Emoto, a Japanese scientist, froze water after exposing it to either a love

or a fear intention and then looked at the crystals under high magnification.

He discovered that the emotion of fear 

(Cursing, Hitler's picture, Heavy Metal music ...)

resulted in ugly, crystalline formations

but those of love (prayer, Mother Theresa's photo. Mozart...)

created exquisite crystals. 

Emoto realized that water has resonance,

memory and consciousness and German scientists

as well as Veda Austin in New Zealand have confirmed the same.

Water is the only substance that can take on three forms using non -

extreme exposures to heat or cold. Moreover, as it gets more solid as ice

it magically becomes lighter and floats.

For those of us who don't have access to a sauna or sweat lodge we can use the element

of fire to heat a healing bath.

We should have had a washing shower/bath prior to the sacred one.

We can change the vibration of the water

using multiple Air Element components;

sacred music or sound, incense, a scented candle, aroma therapy's oils.

add the Sacred Growing Beings of the Water Element;

aromatic plants; lavender, rosemary, bay, eucalyptus, juniper ...

and more especially -

Power plants can be added to the water such as white sage, cedar ...

80% of our cells contain water. Align these cells with the vibration of your

empowered healing bath.

 Immerse completely (if you hair is too long, sprinkle the medicated water on it.) Breath in white light and all you want from the universe and the 'Field' to come into your Being, and breath out thick black smoke of anything you want to get rid of into the water, 

which will neutralize it. Continue meditating and make it as sensory as possible.

The way to God is through the senses.

From my flesh shall I behold the Creator.

When complete with your imaginary and meditative intentions get out of the bath. Dry off. Do not blow dry your hair. Keep the 'medicine' of the ritual on you. Let the water out. 

Rinse the thick black smoke down as well and walk away and 

do not look back!

Looking back intimates to your guides, the spirit, world, the 'Field' 

a lack of commitment and that you may not be sure,

and then they will not help. You can go back there an hour or so later if need be.

The ritual is best done before bed because one might get a scripted dream from Source.

I highly recommend this healing bath which I learned about from my Sangoma mentors.

In a blog coming up on the mysterious 'Ether element' 

we will talk more precisely about the stages of Manifestation that create

the Actualization of our intention which can empower this ritual or any other.

 

 

THE MAGICAL POWER OF NATURE #5

THE ELEMENTS

AIR IS IN THE EAST

WILD BEINGS

MICHAEL

Loving kindness, inspiration, new beginnings (the snake shedding its skin.)

 

AIR IS THE SUBSTRATE FOR INCENSE AND SOUND

The incense offering and sacred sound are the most potent antidotes

against dark forces - both within and without.

 Incense and the right sound both have very high vibrations and help to activate

the higher chakras through the Air Element.

Smudging is likened  

to a “spiritual shower” and possibly also an air purifier. 

Smudging can cause spiritual balance, healing, is emotionally cleansing and 

has been shown to be antimicrobial (temples burning incense in India.) 

There are dark forces both within us and dysfunctional people

around that affect us

but also trickster spirits in the 'Field' that enjoy interfering with our activities.

Intrusive energies and spirits cannot abide the high vibration 

of incense and sound.

Sound shatters and crumbles barriers to the mind and heart.

Sound speaks to one’s vibration.

One of the best ways to cleanse and clear

oneself and of dark forces within and without is with sound.

Trickster are forced to leave because the intensity of the vibration is

offensive to their dark vibration.

Smudging can also call our spirit guides to assist us if we ask to receive.  

It is important to chant before making an incense offering, 

For the power of song to draw forth the soul of the plant. 

“Every single wisdom in the world has a particular chant,

a particular melody

and when you chant that specific melody it will draw forth theparticular wisdom to which it is attached.”  Nachmon of Breslav

In indigenous cultures smudging when associated with chanting

 is believed to unlock the 'spirits' of various plant allies 

to restore balance and harmony. 

Ayahuasca shamans sing Icaros to fortify the effect ot the entheogen.

Without the sacred sound the plant spirit cannot fully have its magical effect.

Astral projection, out-of-body experiences, 

Near Death Experiences and rituals using entheogens can be heralded 

by inner sounds such as buzzing or humming.

The hum of bees was not only sacred to many ancient wisdoms

but was also encountered 

by them and many other spiritual traditions during

altered states of consciousness as a buzz or a roar.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead, recounts that after the soul of the deceased 

separates from the physical body, there may be 

a buzzing, a roaring, a thundering or a whistling. 

We need to use scent and sound

(also the sounds of nature, the mantra of the bush)

for our protection, healing and equanimity.

They also help prevent negative force interfering with our spiritual

transformation.

Aromatic plants alone are also protective - if when dried

they can be used as incense they have additional power.

Wheat grass, sage and cedar are particularly powerful.

Rosemarie, lavender etc

can be cooked to protect us within if done with right intention.

Pythagoras could hear the music of the spheres, that of

the planets and stars rotating and orbiting.

The Chaldeans, the San Bushmen, the Celts' (Oran Mor) could

could also hear the music of the spheres.

Many believed that "in the beginning was the Word",

but the word actually may have occurred as sound or song.

The Creator may have sung or sounded the universe into existence.

Words alone are less complex than sacred sound.

The science of Cymatics has shown that words, vowels

and music generate shape.

Sound may have a lot to do with the sacred geometry

created in nature seen in pentagons, hexagons, circles and spirals. 

The plethora of sounds residing in nature can help to meditate us;

the song of birds,

the buzzing of bees, the gurgling of a river, the wind in the trees.

Sacred music, Badjans, Kirtans, crystal bowls, Tibetan gongs,

a didgeridoo, a flute etc all can create inner and outer harmony

and coherence when in a group - the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.

The fifth chakra is how we express our creativity in the world

but also is responsible for speech, song, whistling and music through wind instruments.

The sixth chakra which helps us contact information from the 'Field'

is just above the nostrils where the Sun (Pingala) and Moon (Ida)

channels terminate.

There are said to be 72,000 Nadis or energy channels (? similar to

acupuncture meridians) that converge on the seven chakras. There are three

main energy channels ascending the spinal column;

the Central,

the Sun, Hot, Expansive more Masculine, Cognitive channel (Pingala) -

also linked re to a Sympathetic stress response

and the Moon, Cool, Receptive, more Feminine, intuitive channel (Ida) -

linked to a Parasympathetic, relaxation response.

Alternative nostril Pranayama was designed to help us balance these two channels.

When they are in perfect harmony energy can move into the seventh Crown chakra

(1000 Petalled Lotus) to create

Unity Consciousness or the Oneness Experience where

duality fades into oneness. This occurs when the

Knower, the Known and the Process of Knowing fuse into one thing and there

is a feeling of bliss. The closest things to this in Western thought is Maslow's

Peak Experience eg. when you become the dance, the orgasm, the birth of a child

or the music.

It frequently occurs in nature when the Knower (you), the Known - say a rainbow

and in the Process of you Knowing the rainbow - you become the rainbow.
