We are light. Sounds simple enough, right? It is central to my first book, and my second book even features a light being on the front cover, but over the last few months, I was getting more and more signs that this was not just an important message to share, it was something that I needed to internalize, at not only an intellectual level, but an emotional and spiritual level as well.

I struggle with positive affirmations. I know how to treat others as I would want to be treated, so I tend not to create negative ripples in the energetic currents of the universe. But it is maintaining a positive energy field, at all times that seemed hopelessly out of reach to me. As a shaman I know all too well that we are comprised of light. That we are light. All things are light in fact. Science has started to document biophotons, and how all living creatures emit a measurable amount of these microscopic lights constantly. I believe the more positive, heart-based, and compassionate our own energy fields are, the more light we emit, and the more love we can bring into the world. It is how we can directly affect reality and create a mor positive reality in our world. But how?

Recently, I came up with what I call the “light affirmation.” I think of it as a super-charged manifestation affirmation. The platinum card of spiritual transactions. Because the more I do it, the more light I visualize, the more positive energy appears be flowing directly into my life. I did not heed messages from guides and angels over the last months, imploring me to just be “light and love.” It is such a pure message, and one that I assumed was incompatible with my own energy. But I was wrong. Being light and love is the key to unlocking a true magical spirituality. It is so simple because it is supposed to be: a user-friendly state of being that connects us to our own energy and the energy of all creation.

I understood intellectually that the true nature of the universe, and ourselves, is light. But I did not feel this intimately. What I have started to do is repeat, “I am light,” and visualize myself glowing. Sometimes this is a green light coming from my heart center. Other times it is a huge starlight, shards of which are huge and extend in all directions. Sometimes I just see myself glowing, emanating light softly. But it all comes back to saying and feeling that I am light.

Saying the affirmation isn’t enough. Feeling the affirmation is required. A little imagination. A little visualization. And a lot of feeling. When feeling this affirmation in myself a genuine feeling of love washes over me, and all the troubles, the worries, and the negative energy seem to have nowhere left to set up residence. The light casts no shadow, forcing negative energy to dissipate.

I’ve shared in previous blog posts that I felt blocked in some ways, that things weren’t moving in my life. Ever since I have found the light affirmation, that has changed. Now things are moving at the speed of light. It is invigorating, but also humbling. No matter where we are on our spiritual paths, there is always more to learn. And our light will always illuminate our path.
