In the aftermath of the Indian Ocean
tsunami, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the recent earthquake in
Pakistan, I have noticed the presence of much higher spiritual energies
in my life and in the Earth. The quantum field hums with these
high-frequency pitches, which sound like crickets, at first, and during
meditation expand into the roaring sound of a waterfall.
It is a beautiful sound to me. Sufi and
Hindu mystics, as well as Buddhist monks, retreat to woods and caves to
hear this "music of life," as they call it. The Jewish Essenes
and early Christian Gnostics described it as the "involution"
of the Holy Spirit. I know it as the love that carries me into joy and
oneness with All That Is. It opens my heart and mind, expands me into
the Greater Love and sets me back down in a world filled with greater
light for my journey.
I thought the explanation for these
higher energies was simply the benevolent nature of life: that higher
energies were appearing during the past year's catastrophic earth
changes to alleviate pain and suffering.
While this is undoubtedly true, my still,
small voice says there's an added dimension: We can access these higher
energies at any time. Literally stepping into the soul-self relieves
physical pain and fatigue; and in the same breath inspires the body-mind
with vibrant energy, creative ideas and higher direction.
If you are experiencing the quandary of
many compassionate people--outputting so much energy that it's beginning
to drain you--here's how to tap into a bottomless well and an endless
river of healing.
This exercise will fill any empty cup
with energy, wisdom and light. Use this terrific technique as needed!
1. When your heart stalls and your body
stalls, too, find a quiet place and go within, gently falling or
floating deeper and deeper into the peace of your heart. Call to your
soul self and say, "I submerge myself in you."
2. Now take the thought of surrender into
your heart and hold it close, seeing your egoic self merge into the
light of your greater self. Say firmly, "It is done."
3. See your higher self accomplishing
your work in creative joy and light, and allow it to guide you forward.
Restoring yourself does not take much
time. What you will feel and see, create and make come true is true and
takes place in material reality. Neither the brain nor the soul sees any
difference between the inner and the outer. Only the ego differentiates.
During or following this meditation, you
might want to ask your ego some interesting questions. What does your
higher self look like? And the lower self? What part does love play? And
light? What is the feeling and how can it be remembered for re-creation
at any time? Blazing these communication paths (a neuro-net) between
your ego and soul helps your conscious and subconscious mind connect and
cooperate.
There's another interesting benefit.
Stepping into the soul naturally increases our psychic awareness, since
we begin to perceive through the eyes of the soul and what we see is all
there is. Of course, the only way to know this for sure is to try it
out. Experience is always our finest teacher.
Perhaps you will be as surprised as I was
by how quickly stepping into your soul can transform your heart. I tried
this technique after learning it from a meditative writing and it's
worked consistently for me and for others.
Where I'd been driven by body pain and
stress before, in the next moment these virtually vanished and my heart
was clear and free. I was able to be more generous and loving to myself
and my family.
I slept and dreamt well that night, and
upon waking realized that stepping into the soul simply opens the heart
and mind to love, and love does the healing. The love is always present.
When we face a challenging event, our compassion and need open the heart
and turn us to love.
Each of us has the innate ability to
reach into the deeper self for wisdom, comfort and healing guidance of
any kind. Every person and event in our lives awakens us to this deeper
self and higher reality.
It is yours for the taking. Just close
your eyes and step into your everloving soul.
