On April 12, 2012 six large earthquakes struck the
world in a matter of 24 hours. Three 8.0
magnitude earthquakes in Sumatra: 8.9M, 8.7M, & 8.2M. Then a 6.5 occurred off the west coast of
Mexico and a 6.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Oregon. There have been
epic storms, droughts, mass animal die offs, strange migrations, massive sink
holes, unexplainable sky events, & tensions regarding 2012. It is not unreasonable
to become tense in light of these occurrences’; however living in fear is not a
viable option. The following is a plan
to help you walk through your daily life and help free your mind from fear that
may be lingering and distracting you from living with conscious purpose.
Maintain
your connection to Spirit
First and foremost
remember that you have a spiritual body as well as a mental and physical one.
If you’re ignoring your spiritual body your mental body will take over and fear
will reside. You can help yourself by a daily practice of prayer, meditation,
consuming positive affirmations and/or other reading materials. Spend time with
those who devote time to creating peace and inner harmony through lectures,
spiritual retreats, or other venues.
Be Compassionate
Most are born with an innate sense of compassion a
natural desire to help those who are in an emotionally unsettled state of mind (fear,
anger, despair, sadness). It is important
to remember that you must maintain compassion for yourself as well; knowing
when to leave a situation is an important & much needed lesson to learn.
When it is reasonable to do so being a beacon
of reason and light can help those who cannot currently help themselves. Make sure that you continue to maintain your inner peace while assisting
others as they can have a tendency to become a mental drain if they require a
lot of time. Once you get to the point where they can do for themselves move on
with your life.
Intention Means Everything
“Whatever
your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve ... " ~
Napoleon Hill
If you focus on what you want to see happen, then the
chances increase that you draw into your life what you are envisioning. Think
this concept is nothing but wishful thinking? Then think on this example that I
frequently use with my clients: Go back to a time when you kept hoping that “something”
would not happen. How much time, energy and focus did you place on this one
event?
Remember now the fruits of your labors did it cause the event to not
occur? Most likely the undesired situation happened anyway. WHY? It could have
happened simply out of “circumstance” however, it may have been induced because
you spent so much intentional time focused on “it.”
Focus, intention &
desire need to be defined clearly for the ability to move in a positive
direction. You may not be able to change undesirable events, but you can move
your focus towards allowing compassionate, desirable future outcome.
Limit contact with media
Although you should stay informed, the media’s
sensationalism can be both addictive and deceptive. In order to stay in a
positive place and effectively work with the other criteria’s of maintaining a
healthy balanced state of mind stay informed, but do your best to limit your
exposure to written and broadcast media.
In educating yourself you can maintain a healthy
attitude in the face of turbulence.
Please understand that you are not required to assist anyone in order to
move forward, but it is something that you can consider in the case that you
may start to feel a desire to do something for those who are not quite there
yet in their spiritual awakening.
Now on to something fun…
How to create an energetic grid
Select 3 crystals or stones of the same
kind. Size does not matter; i.e., they can be very small or very large but they
must be the same kind so have the same type of energy. You should
select the type of crystal or stone based on the energy that is most often
associated with it. (NOTE: I always recommend including clear quartz because it
can be programmed to be whatever type of crystal or stone that you want it to
be, and you can change that programming at any time if your needs change).
- All-purpose – clear quartz (ask the crystal to serve whatever
purpose you need)
- Healing – aventurine, malachite
- Love – rose quartz
- Protection – citrine, hematite, black tourmaline (obsidian is not
recommended due to the “volcanic” nature of the energy)
- Psychic abilities – sodalite, lapis lazuli, amethyst
Place the crystals and/or stones in the
shape of an equilateral triangle (or as close as possible) around the area that
you wish to protect and/or empower. (NOTE: The crystals and/or stones do not
need to be placed on the same level. Additionally, they do not need to be
visible.)
Stand on the outside the triangle and between
2 of the points on the triangle (see picture below). The feet indicate that you
can stand on any side of the triangle (i.e., only 1 side is needed).
Ask your guides to help you to empower this grid. If
you are trained in Reiki or other healing modalities, you can also call on your
healing guides to assist you.
Begin pulling white light/energy down through your
crown chakra and let it flow down your arm and into the palm of your dominant
hand. Then direct your palm toward the crystals and/or stones as described
below:
Start by crossing your dominant arm across your body
(i.e., start to your left if you are right-handed or to your right if you are
left-handed) and direct you palm/hand toward the crystals and/or stones in that
corner of the triangle.
Move your palm/hand toward each of the crystals and/or
stones in a clockwise direction until you have completed 3
complete circuits and have returned to where you started (i.e., you will finish
with your dominant arm crossing your body).
Stay with each corner of the triangle for as long as
you are guided to do so, but a few seconds per corner is usually all that is
needed.
Thank your guides for helping you to empower this
grid.
How often should
you re-grid?
You can re-grid as often as you wish. However, if the
area is subjected to negative or toxic energy, then re-gridding will be needed
more often. There are many different methods you can use to determine when an
area needs to be re-gridded. Just a few of these include:
If you are sensitive to how energy “feels,” then
re-grid whenever you feel that the energy in the space isn’t quite as positive
as it used to be.
If you are not as sensitive to energy, then I
recommend re-gridding whenever you think about it because this is often your
guides “whispering in your ear” that it’s time to re-grid.
If you are skilled in the use of a pendulum, you can
ask if the space needs to be re-gridded.
For example, given my home is generally a very
positive area, I tend to re-grid once a month. However, when I used to work in
a very stressful office, I would re-grid my office on a weekly basis (or more
often if I felt it was needed).
Other times when you should consider re-gridding:
You should re-grid if the crystals and/or stones are
moved because this breaks the energy circuit you’ve created.
You probably should re-grid if you have rearranged
furniture.;
You probably should re-grid if you have had a
significant disruption in the energy within the space (e.g., visitors in your
home for an extended period of time).
Additional
information about creating energy grids
If you are guided to do something in a way that
differs from the directions above, please trust that guidance (e.g., using your
non-dominant hand, starting with a different crystal, moving in a
counter-clockwise direction).
Although the area inside the triangle is the most
powerful area in the grid, you can ask your guides to broaden the protected and
empowered areas to areas outside the triangle (see next bullet for suggestion).
While doing the gridding, you may choose to recite a
prayer or mantra of some kind. Any prayer or spiritual saying is fine. For
example, when I create my grids, I repeat the following phrase: “I empower this
grid and the surrounding area with Christ’s white light.” This phrase becomes a
rhythmic chant as I continue around the corners of the triangle.
You can use more than one type of crystal and/or stone
in each corner, but I do not recommend using more than 3
different crystals or stones per grid because the energies involved may begin
to interfere with each other. For example, you might place 1 citrine in each of
the 3 corners for protection, 1 rose quartz in each of the 3 corners for love,
and 1 amethyst in each of the 3 corners to increase psychic communication.
If you are trained in Reiki, then you can grid from a
distance using the Distance Symbol.
You can grid the entire house or you can grid each
individual room within the house. If you grid the entire house, one suggestion
is to bury the crystals outside the house so that a larger portion of the
empowered space covers the house and so the crystals or stones are less likely
to be moved.
However, if using this approach to gridding a large building,
either (a) you will need do the actual gridding from a distance using Reiki or (b) you will need to do the gridding after
dark so no one observes you and wonders what you are doing!
