Grounding Barefoot with Electron-Rich Earth Recharges Immune System

BRILLIANT MOMENT

When you put your bare feet on the ground, you absorb large amounts of negative electrons through the soles of your feet. These free electrons act as antioxidants in your body and help to reduce chronic inflammation, the root of many chronic diseases.

Through the deceptively simple act of walking barefoot on the Earth — an act known as grounding or earthing — it may be possible to thwart chronic diseases and even slow aging. It’s a crucial topic that has the potential to change lives, from relieving chronic pain to slowing down the silent killer known as systemic inflammation.

In the film “Down to Earth,” I speak alongside other experts to shed light on what may be one of the most overlooked yet easiest ways to protect and improve human health: getting grounded to the Earth.

The short of “Down to Earth,” above, is up for a number of awards, and in January, 2017, received the IndieFEST Award of Excellence for a documentary short.

The full feature-length movie of “Down to Earth” will be available in fall, 2017, with special premiers in theaters in Los Angeles and New York City. Highly respected cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra explains in the film:

“In simple terms, grounding is literally putting your bare feet on the ground. When you do that, you’re in contact with the Earth, and mother Earth is endowed with electrons, and these electrons are literally absorbed through your feet. It’s like taking handfuls of antioxidants, but you’re getting it through your feet.”

What Is Grounding and How Does It Work?

The concept of grounding was initially developed by Clint Ober, who began studying it in an effort to heal himself and who introduced the concept of grounding to Sinatra. As a retired cable television executive, Ober noticed that when cables are “grounded” to the Earth, it eliminates interference from the signal.

All electrical systems are stabilized in this way, which led Ober to wonder whether the human body, also a bioelectrical, signal-transmitting organism, should also be grounded.

He describes the invention of synthetic materials, which in turn allowed synthetic soles to be put onto our shoes, as a key part of the problem, as it effectively insulates us from the Earth.

It’s not unusual for Americans to spend their entire days, from sun up to sun down, without being grounded. But though it has become the norm, it’s also completely unnatural. We depend on the Earth to survive, but we’ve become entirely disconnected from it, such that we’re completely separate.

Dr. Laura Koniver, who discovered grounding quite by accident after it seemed to soothe her crying infant, says in the film:

“Grounding means connecting to the Earth to support the specific function of the organs in your body. It supports the body as a whole but it specifically supports organ systems down to the tissues and the cellular function of the entire body.”

Your Body Needs Grounding Just as It Needs Air and Sunshine

You may not think of your body as a generator of electricity, but you are very much an electrical being, and this is in large part why it’s so important to use grounding to harness the electrical charge of the Earth to positively influence your health. Gaetan Chevalier, Ph.D., an engineer/physicist who has studied grounding, explained:

“Unbeknownst to us, we live inside a battery. The surface of the Earth is charged negatively and the ionosphere, a layer of the atmosphere about 60 miles up, is ionized by the sun. The rays of the sun are so strong that they split the molecules in two, a positive charge and a negative charge.

The negative charges are transferred to the surface of the Earth, through lightening mainly, and the positive charges stay 60 miles up. The problem arises when we don’t have a negative charge. We need grounding just as we need air and we need sunshine.”

When you put your bare feet on the ground, you absorb large amounts of negative electrons through the soles of your feet. In today’s world, this is more important than ever, yet fewer people than ever connect with the Earth in this way anymore.

Free radical stress from exposure to pollution, cigarettes, pesticides, processed foods and radiation, just to name a few, continually deplete your body of electrons.

The Earth, however is always electron-rich and can serve as a powerful and abundant supply of antioxidant free-radical-busting electrons, if only you make an effort to stay grounded.

Without a proper supply of antioxidants, the free radicals can overwhelm your system leading to oxidative stress, inflammation and accelerated aging. “We now know that oxidative stress causes disease. It causes inflammation,” Sinatra says. “[But] we have this Earth — Mother Earth — that’s going to give us all these free electrons.”

Grounding Puts Out the Fires of Inflammation

One of the primary health benefits of grounding is that its antioxidant effect helps alleviate inflammation throughout your body. Sinatra notes:

“In simple terms, what Earthing does, is literally it squelches the fires of inflammation, and if inflammation is the source of all root illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, heart disease, diabetes — I mean the list goes on and on — if you can impact inflammation and … stop it, we’re going to be healthier beings.”

In research conducted by Chevalier and colleagues, it’s noted that grounding produces measurable differences in the concentrations of molecules, including white blood cells and cytokines, involved in the inflammatory response.

The report also found that grounding “reduces pain and alters the numbers of circulating neutrophils and lymphocytes, and also affects various circulating chemical factors related to inflammation.” In the film, Ober explains how grounding can reduce inflammation by supplying your body with free electrons:

“Inflammation is produced by neutrophils, which are white blood cells. You have an injury, you have a damaged cell, and so these white blood cells come over and they encapsulate the damaged cell and … release reactive oxygen species, which rip electrons from the damaged cell and that destroys the damaged cell.

If there’s not enough free electrons there to reduce the remaining radicals, they’re going to steal an electron from a healthy cell and in the process damage it.

Then the message goes out to the immune system and another neutrophil does the same thing and eliminates that cell, and then you have a chain reaction.”

Grounding May Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease, Protect Against Electromagnetic Fields and More

Heart disease is rooted in an inflammatory process, so it’s not surprising that this major disease killer is among those helped by grounding.

Research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine revealed that two hours of grounding increased the surface charge of red blood cells and thereby reduced blood viscosity and clumping. As a result, the researchers, who include Chevalier and Sinatra, concluded, “Grounding appears to be one of the simplest and yet most profound interventions for helping reduce cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events.”

In other research, a pilot study on the effect of grounding on delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which often occurs after intense exercise, grounding the body to the Earth was shown to alter measures of immune system activity and pain.

Grounding for one hour also significantly improved mood among a group of 40 adults and calms your sympathetic nervous system, which supports your heart rate variability. When you support heart rate variability, this promotes homeostasis, or balance, in your autonomic nervous system. This is important because anytime you improve your heart rate variability, you’re improving your entire body and all its functions.

Grounding your body to the Earth during sleep has similarly been shown to have beneficial effects, including normalizing the daily cortisol rhythm and improving sleep. There is even evidence that grounding reduces electric fields induced on your body, which is increasingly important in the modern world. Researchers wrote:

“The study showed that when the body is grounded, its electrical potential becomes equalized with the Earth’s electrical potential through a transfer of electrons from the Earth to the body. This, in turn, prevents the 60 Hz [ambient voltage] mode from producing an AC [alternating current] electric potential at the surface of the body and from producing perturbations of the electric charges of the molecules inside the body.

The study confirms the ‘umbrella’ effect of earthing the body explained by Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman in his lectures on electromagnetism. Feynman said that when the body potential is the same as the Earth’s electric potential (and thus grounded), it becomes an extension of the Earth’s gigantic electric system.

The Earth’s potential thus becomes the ‘working agent that cancels, reduces, or pushes away electric fields from the body.’”

What Types of Shoes Allow You to Stay Grounded?

Rubber, plastic and other synthetic soles on your shoes will insulate you from the Earth and its grounding benefits. Traditional leather soles will not, but you can also gain grounding benefits simply by walking barefoot, which is still practiced in some parts of the world.

Just as walking barefoot was once widespread, so, too, was sleeping on the ground. In the modern world, sleeping indoors serves to further insulate you from the Earth, although it’s relatively simple to ground your mattress while you sleep. When you’re indoors, a grounding mat, placed where you work or sleep, can ground you to the Earth just like walking barefoot outside.

It sounds so simple, almost too simple, but as Sinatra said, “This is Nobel Prize material.” There are now nearly two dozen published studies on grounding and more certainly to come.

“The research done to date,” researchers wrote in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health, “supports the concept that grounding or earthing the human body may be an essential element in the health equation along with sunshine, clean air and water, nutritious food, and physical activity.”

If you’d like to learn more, another documentary film, “Grounded,” lets you see this amazing phenomenon transform the life of people who had been struggling with health issues like chronic pain, and one man who had been wheelchair-bound for decades is able to walk again after grounding. Seeing the transformations first-hand is quite moving and shows this isn’t just “new-age nonsense” but a scientifically proven and valid method for improving your health.

Reality Bending is Officially Science; Your Brain is Hallucinating Your Life

Science

Reality Bending is Officially Science; Your Brain is Hallucinating Your Life

BRILLIANT MOMENT

Reality Bending—the conscious awareness that your hallucination is alterable—is officially science and the most self-empowering advancement in human evolution to date.

“Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience.” ~ Anil Seth, Neuroscientist, University of Sussex

Are you consciously living your life?

If so, you’re living your best life.

Yes!!

You feel great. Life is good regardless of changing circumstances or what’s happening in the world.

If you’re living on auto-pilot or “default” . . .

Maybe you’re not so happy right now and haven’t been for a long time.

The world and everything in it seems hopeless—you feel hopeless.

Congratulations, you’ve picked door #2. Yes, even “default” is a choice. An unconscious one.

That’s a problem. Or is it?

Stress over it or . . . You can let go of the past and move forward from here.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” ~ C.S. Lewis

What if you could have a do-over and live of life of celebration and relaxed enjoyment? What if just by being you, you change the world?

Here’s why living life consciously matters:

A young woman, shot in the head by the Taliban for going to school, later advocates for women’s rights, winning a Nobel Peace Prize. Her name is Malala Yousafzai.
Authoritarians around the world continue to convince unconscious masses to blindly surrender their rights, allowing unimaginable realities that perpetuate pain and suffering.
A student diagnosed with ALS lives to be seventy-six and one of the most celebrated scientists in history. Yes, Stephen Hawking.

Two of these are examples of how living a conscious life allowed these people to overcome extreme adversity to go on and live their best life.

I bet your life hasn’t been this tough. Or maybe it has.

The question is: Are you letting it stop you or slow you down?

When you live at your potential, it ripples through to everything and everyone you touch.

Feeling empowered, notice how you suddenly want others to have the same opportunity because you know it’s your and my birthright like Malala and Stephen know.

But, what happens if you stop evolving and growing?

When you feel helpless?

When you give up on yourself?

REALITY: CREATED INTERNALLY OR EXTERNALLY?

What you’re about to learn just might change everything for you.

For starters, we use our raw sensory experiences to make sense of and even construct our world.

But, have you noticed something funny?

Two people may witness or share the same experience, but later provide two very different accounts of what happened.

Researchers at the International School for Advanced Studies recently studied the brain of lab rats, discovering the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) facilitates the merging of sensory data. Sight, hearing, feeling, taste, and smell united to allow the lab animals to form a mental picture that could then be cataloged and filed away as memory in such a way that only a single sense was required to trigger recognition.

In a second study published in the journal Nature, key was how experience becomes subjective., Researchers were able to locate a neural circuit in the PPC using sound as a stimulant for testing that would lead lab rats to slide in higher favor of the sound that was expected.

In other words, expectations or personal perception based on past experience tainted memory to create a different outcome.

In human terms, think of eating a bag of Skittles candy. As you eat one at a time, turning over the brightly colored pieces in your hand, you can actually taste them—lime, grape, cherry, lemon—practically before they go into your mouth.

But, try this little experiment. Shut your eyes, popping one in your mouth at a time, and try to name the flavor you’re eating. Good luck after the first one!

Can you see how your consciousness and brain work in tandem with external stimuli to co-create an incorporated outcome?

In other words, no reality is random. Your level of awareness and subsequent response directly combine with external energy to change its form.

Scientists were struck by this realization when it was first witnessed an atom exists in wavelike form in more than one location until collapsing into a particle upon human observation.

CO-CREATOR OF YOUR REALITY

Science is just beginning to understand that reality is an ongoing collaboration of energetic forces just as its newly discovered everything in the Universe is interconnected and interdependent.

You experience a unique version of reality because you are internally intermingling with external consciousness every moment of the day as is each one of us.

All of life is life-ing or continuously co-creating—including you. Are you conscious of this?

Subjective consciousness means reality is swayed (co-created) via personal perception—what Dr. Anil Seth calls a “controlled hallucination.”

(Seth missed the big picture boat by not realizing hallucination is co-creation still in waveform.)

Calling dimensions levels of consciousness, the book What Is God? Rolling Back the Veil says: “All of Creation is making love through its own annihilation—birth and death joined together—the ONE.”

Need proof?

As you read this article, your thoughts and ideas are now integrating with my thoughts and ideas to form new thoughts and ideas.

Your new thoughts and ideas are in waveforms until collapsed into particles with further action on your part. Or you can disregard this article, non-action allowing the wave of energy to dissipate.

For more scientific proof, enjoy the following Ted Talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.

“We’re all hallucinating all the time when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it ‘reality.’” Anil Seth

REALITY BENDING: YOUR GREAT DO-OVER

If your life is one great controlled hallucination of pure consciousness, “Wow!”

Or did you say, “Woe!”

Woe, yes, it is a responsibility.

And, wow! What an opportunity!

Recapping:

Your response to internal/external consciousness alters it.
You generate new consciousness every moment of every day.
You are now a conscious co-creator of reality so why not be love!

Reality Bending (RB)—the conscious awareness that your hallucination is alterable—is officially science and the most self-empowering advancement in human evolution to date.

It’s separation consciousness’ old Law of Attraction (LOA) on steroids and in proper context within unity consciousness.

Let’s compare the old LOA to the new RB:

LOA (Old): Negative thoughts and feeling are avoided, affirming only the positive.

RB (New): Positive and negative energy are recognized as equally beneficial tools.

LOA (Old): Exerting my will, I take what I can get out of the world for personal gain.

RB (New): My life the gift, I work with what arises to be my best self so that what I give to world uplifts my life and all of humanity.

Your brilliant future is here now when you consciously let go of the past and begin anew in this moment to enjoy the beautiful life you’ve been given—your do-over!

The past is literally healed in the present moment by dropping habitual patterns of behavior for something new, collapsing the energy pattern. Too big for science quite yet.

Also helpful is practicing Ho’oponopono:

I LOVE YOU

I’M SORRY

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

THANK YOU

Masters, saints, and sages have proclaimed it’s all an illusion or hallucination of consciousness for millennia, so use this truth to find the joy in the gift you’ve been given by being the joy.

Process all emotions. Fearlessly experience the full spectrum of your thoughts and emotions. Expose them to the light of consciousness while sitting in stillness. See how they are looping energy patterns. The very act of observation from a state of neutrality (non-judgment) dissipates the energy. Here is a helpful article with infographic.
Open your heart even wider by practicing non-judgment. Judgment doesn’t get others to change their behavior; leading by example does. Notice how you set yourself free when you realize everyone is expressing unique personal perceptions as part of Creation’s definition of infinite expression. Let others see you shine your little light.
Accept what arises. You’ve been trained to live in a results-economy. Let it go. Work with what arises as the shortest and easiest path to fulfilling your life’s purpose. Everything interconnected, the Universe is already collaborating with you to co-create what will propel you into your next best moment of now.
Make love in every moment. Take responsibility for living consciously. Notice there are no choices to be made when living in love. Always choose love, and you will always know what to do. If you don’t know what to do, then there is nothing to do until something arise—known as collaborative non-doing doing. This is a life of flow.

Welcome to your new best life!

Welcome to Humanity 2.0!

Life Regrets Have You Locked Up? Ho’oponopono a Path to Freedom

Life Regrets Have You Locked Up? Ho'oponopono a Path to Freedom by Christine Horner

Happiness

Life Regrets Have You Locked Up? Ho’oponopono a Path to Freedom

BRILLIANT MOMENT

Many souls awakening out of the dream of separation are reporting experiencing life reviews while still fully in the body. In other words, the veil is thinning and dissolving as we consciously assimilate in cosmic union with all Creation here on Earth rather than in the afterlife.

If only you could take it all back—or get a do-over.

But, you can’t. You made that bed, and you’ve been lying in it for a long—long—long time.

Maybe it was something you said or did causing another harm. Maybe you could have tried harder. Or maybe you didn’t try at all.

A life filled with regret is excruciatingly painful. Feelings of guilt, shame, or loss can overwhelm you temporarily or for years. It’s 20/20 hindsight saying, “If only I’d (fill-in-your-blank).”

“You must come into a space where you love your life and then everything can flow.”

— Mellen-Thomas Benedict (NDE)

Essentially, it’s failing to forgive yourself for what appeared to be a choice—even if the end result was beyond your control. Even if you did the best you could at the time.

REGRET IS SELF-JUDGMENT

If you think the energy it takes to stay angry at another person is life sucking, here’s what blaming yourself does to you and your body:

You remain stuck in a cycle of negative looping cognitive and emotional energy.
Self-focused, ruminative thinking retards personal growth and evolution.
The body experiences chronic stress, impeding functionality and self-healing.
Self-absorption keeps you from being of service and a blessing to others.
You are unable to move into higher states of consciousness that allow for a more rewarding and fulfilling life.

Maybe you’re like famous French singer Edith Piaf, who sang, “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.” (I Have No Regrets). Sooner or later, you will get a chance to find out the truth for yourself.

Many people who’ve had near-death experiences (NDE) report experiencing a full life review.

Bridging the gap between the physical and the Spirit world, medium and Adventures of the Soul author, James Van Praagh says, “Upon returning to the spiritual home, each one of us will go through a review – seeing, feeling and living every single experience we lived out on the earth school. We will “relive” every thought, action, and word we created about one another and ourselves. If we treated someone unkindly, we will experience it from their point of view.

The mechanics work like this: Upon death, the veil (body) is removed. Time and space collapse so that all is seen and experienced in the present moment of now. Any judgment is once again only your own as you assimilate the wounded parts of yourself back into a state of wholeness.

NEGATIVE EMOTIONS HAVE PURPOSE

According to a Psychology Today, there are positive benefits to the highest ranking negative emotion. Regret, as energy-in-motion, fulfills five functions. It leads you to seek out ways of:

making sense of the world,
avoiding future negative behaviors,
gaining insight,
achieving social harmony, and
improving ability to approach desired opportunities (presumably because we regret past passivity).

Fast forward to today, things are getting interesting. Many souls awakening out of the dream of separation are reporting experiencing life reviews while still fully in the body.

In other words, the veil is thinning and dissolving as we consciously assimilate in cosmic union with all Creation here on Earth rather than in the afterlife.

Integrity is synonymous with living in the Golden Age versus the deceit currently characterizing End Times separation consciousness.

In unity consciousness, instead of karma, you receive immediate feedback on the integrity of your thoughts, words, and action.

Out of alignment with your soul’s purpose, alarm bells go off immediately.

Many Golden Agers evolving into higher states of consciousness are experiencing the intense integration of the energy of past transgressions—not just in this lifetime, but of many lifetimes.

You may not know what the hell (literally) is going on, just that the pain is enough to cause you to double-over at times.

Wishing you could go back to ignorance-is-bliss isn’t going to make it so.

There’s no stopping your personal evolution as much as there is no stopping what’s happening on a global level as humanity struggles to reach toward the light.

HOʻOPONOPONO YOUR PATH TO FREEDOM

The only way out of the weeds of your growing pains is through them directly. However, you don’t get extra credit for beating yourself up.

More important than the stories themselves is the letting go of the stories through forgiveness and reconciliation so that you can move on to the next highest and best version of yourself.

Indigenous Hawaiian healers have passed down the ancient practice of Hoʻoponopono for generations to restore harmony and balance.

As all of life is energy, for individuals, families, and communities to remain healthy, energy must flow. A ripple effect, forgiveness is vital to the well-being of not only communities but the entire Universe.

Hoʻoponopono is a simple four phrase mantra that opens your energy chakras to receive healing energy as you consciously seek to exchange wholeness for brokenness.

Likewise, if you’re having trouble forgiving others for past actions or ongoing hurtful behavior, Hoʻoponopono seems to flow both ways as a ritual that opens the hearts of those on the receiving and giving ends.

RELEASE SUBCONSCIOUS PROGRAMMING

Many religions and even Alcoholics Anonymous recognize the importance reconciliation plays in allowing the individual to return to a state of wholeness.

What is wholeness but a state of love? If love is blocked within your being, love is blocked within the flow of all beings. Forgiveness is flow.

Making amends directly with others isn’t always possible. Many years may have passed, or someone may have transitioned.

Hoʻoponopono allows you to reopen the flow regardless of circumstances, even if the other party is unaware you are seeking peaceful, energetic resolution.

Make the Hoʻoponopono ritual yours as you like. It’s really about intention. You may wish to light a candle, burn incense, or burn a fire if you have space.

The process begins with your prayer.

I LOVE YOU

I’M SORRY

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

THANK YOU

Speak aloud all names as if you are speaking to each person.
State the transgression aloud or write it out on a slip of paper or both.
Allow for a period of silence.
Imagine white healing energy looping in a circular motion through your chakras, a white light extending from your heart to all hearts.
When you feel the transmission is complete, fully release and let go of any judgments.
End the event by burning your slip of paper, repeating your thanks.

Repeat this process for every regret and sorrow you have whether you’re responsible or not.

Hoʻoponopono is a miraculous ritual for healing in general including physical and mental health issues and financial problems.

You may wish to perform a general Hoʻoponopono on a regular basis for all subconscious and unconscious issues as part of your chakra energy maintenance routine.

Your brilliant future is here now when you let go and forgive despite appearances and circumstances.

A Course in Miracles teaches forgiveness offers everything you could ever want as it lifts the illusory veil revealing all that you need and want is already contained within you.

Forgiveness is the miracle that restores you to wholeness.

Self-Healing 1.0: Get to Know Your Chakra Energy Centers

Self-Healing 1.0: Learn Your Chakra Energy Centers by Christine Horner

Health & Wellness

Self-Healing 1.0: Get to Know Your Chakra Energy Centers

BRILLIANT MOMENT
Understanding all of life is creative energy is the very foundation of personal mastery and self-healing.

[SERIES] Are you struggling in life? Do you have chronic unresolved “issues?” Health problems, money problems, job problems, people problems.

Everything, including you, is energy.

If you thought, “Yeah, I know,” and shrugged your shoulders, you’re in for enlightenment if you so choose.

Here is today’s aha moment:

The external manifestation of personal problems is the result of your energy field being out of balance.

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” — Nikola Tesla

It may be your habit to blame others, suppress or over-express your emotions, seek endless therapy, self-medicate (via your therapist or illegally), shutdown, self-destruct—rather than go within and take responsibility for cleaning up your energy field.

It’s not just you. It’s all of us.

HOLISTIC WELL-BEING

We learned the power contained in positive and negative thinking and the Law of Attraction but were given incorrect information on what to do with it.

We’ve struggled in vain to control and change external circumstances without understanding it all begins within our personal energy field, or chakras.

According to medical doctor and author, Deepak Chopra, your body contains biofields within every cell of your body with magnetic fields that are constantly transmitting.

Simplifying, the sum total of your biofields is your aura. We each emit a unique energy signature that is us. Your aura is responsible for your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

Health is not just the health of your physical body. Your whole-istic well-being affects the health of those you directly interact with, trickling out to your community.

More succinctly, your energy field is your level of overall consciousness. As consciousness is universally interconnected, it’s possible to access higher states of consciousness—or fields of energy to—heal your emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual body.

HUMANITY’S PRIMITIVE BEGINNING

Humanity is just awakening to our metaphysical world. Until now, it’s been all muscle and force to survive—the hard way.

If we couldn’t see it, feel it, manipulate it, it was a mystery for the gods to manage.

Yet, history shows individual masters and mystery schools dating back thousands of years quietly taught eager students how to work with life energy through practices such as qigong, acupuncture, and alchemy (consciously shifting between the physical and non-physical world).

From Deepak Chopra’s article on Biofield Science, “While the term “biofield” itself is fairly new (coined in 1992 at a National Institutes of Health meeting), the importance and roles of consciousness, energy and information to create and guide health have been central topics of millennia-old ‘whole systems’ of care that include Chinese, Tibetan, Native American, African, and Ayurvedic medicine.”

Because understanding all of life is creative energy is the very foundation of personal mastery, you’re going to receive your brilliant future here now moment now instead of at the end of this article.

Your brilliant future is here now when you consciously take personal responsibility for maintaining your energy centers (chakras), unleashing your limitless potential.

You may be unknowingly practicing energetic practices that help to maintain your chakras:

Getting extra sleep as needed
Sexual intimacy
Spending time in nature
Physical exercise; especially yoga
Meditation and prayer
Practicing non-judgment or unconditional love

YOUR 12 CHAKRAS

You may be acquainted with the seven-chakra system. After seven, the chakras become levels of cosmic mastery in connection with Earth’s energy field and beyond.

Remember that chakras are layers within levels of consciousness. The use of the word cosmic roughly refers to a level of consciousness that expands out into the Universe, rather than just on the local egoic “me” level.

Thus, you may have noticed most of humanity is still struggling to move beyond basic survivalism which is why you are having a hard time.

[BONUS FYI: Another name for levels of consciousness is dimensions. Extending into infinity, consciousness embodies intelligence. As humanity is still enmeshed with the third dimension of life, it should give you an idea of our low level of consciousness on the evolutionary scale—and that intelligent beings would exist in other dimensions.]

#2 – Sacral Chakra

Location: Below naval/reproductive area (sometimes affects the hips)
Color: Orange
Function: Pleasure

Don’t be surprised if you see some blockages in nearly every one of your chakras. You may also see aspects of enlightenment in yourself in the higher chakras but say to yourself!

HIGHER LEVELS OF SELF-MASTERY

8th Chakra – Time Transcendence; Connection to Spirit
9th Chakra – Seat of the Soul
10th Chakra – Earth Connection
11th Chakra – Mind Over Matter
12th Chakra – Universal Unity

[BONUS FYI: You exist multidimensionally, your awareness expanding and contracting at any given moment. Chakras 1-7 are third-dimensional awareness. The 13th chakra is your light body activation or Merkaba. Chakras 8-15 are fourth-dimensional awareness. Chakras 16-22 are fifth-dimensional consciousness. It goes on from there.]

Note that diagrams like the one below will show the chakras ascending vertically. As dimensions are nested within each other like Russian dolls, vertical is actually a widening spiral like a tornado.

Chakras

YOU ARE THE HEALING POWER YOU SEEK

It’s within your power to bring conscious energy to a problem, so the energy acts as a healing light that resolves the energy blockage.

You are not “doing” the actual healing. Don’t worry you aren’t worthy, smart, or positive enough. You are merely the conduit for the healing energy when you open yourself to allow. The act of consciously opening to receive the energy is the healing itself acting under its own power.

The story behind the energy blockage is not important. That’s why psychotherapy does little to resolve emotional and mental issues and goes on to require drugs. Therapy teaches us how to cope with an out of balance energy field, treating symptoms rather than the problem.

Biofield Science and Energy Medicine are your brilliant future starting now. A holistic treatment modality for mind, body, and spirit, self-healing is not meant to replace Western medicine immediately, though it eventually will.

Maintaining and healing your energy field is not difficult or “work.” Review the energetic practices listed above. It’s easy and joyful just like life was meant to be!

Over the course of this series, you’ll be introduced to self-healing techniques that not only will greatly impact you, and the planet, but the entire Universe. All is interconnected as the ONE.

CALL TO ACTION

If you’re suffering from depression, feelings of apathy may discourage you from learning more. Know that the feelings are generating out of an energy field in need of maintenance.

Your feelings are not you. You are so much more!

Stay focused on the light of your being.

Rest when you need to.

Open yourself to the healing power already contained within you.

A New Earth When We Lay Day Our Weapons

The Miracle When We Lay Day Our Weapons by Christine Horner

Culture

A New Earth When We Lay Down Our Weapons

BRILLIANT MOMENT

Safety and self protection arise naturally out of higher consciousness manifesting as super-intelligence when sustainability becomes the measure by which to analyze a problem.

I quickly surveyed the parking lot one last time. A peek under and around the car; next, the backseat, and I was satisfied. Nothing bad was going to happen to me like before under my watchful eye.

And thus begins my gun story that in so many ways resembles America’s gun story. A love story of sorts, it’s also a story of consciousness.

A routine hot, end-of-summer day at my credit union in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a blur caught my peripheral vision as it flew by my desk where I sat working near the front entrance.

Lots of cursing and shouting from behind bandana-covered faces, the waving of guns, and I finally realized we were under siege by five gunmen.

I was quickly ordered to stand with my hands in the air. The panic button under my desk that would alert police would go unused.

What transpired in the moments leading up to hands held high, my eight-months-pregnant belly leading the way, and what followed may make you think differently about guns and life in general.

It’s not like what you think—any of it.

Before we can move forward as a society, we must look at our collective gun story and our own lives to understand what’s happening and where we go from here.

AMERICA’S GUN CULTURE

In America’s collective conscious memory, gun ownership equates to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Reasonable expectations turned into a Bill of Rights and the Second Amendment after brave and forward-thinking individuals chose to free themselves from tyranny and oppression.

It was gumption and guns that thwarted English and French invaders. Guns even settled a dispute between prominent politicians, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton.

Passed down generationally, guns put food on the table. At least one gun sat next to every kitchen fireplace hearth, serving as protection as we settled further out west into territory that didn’t belong to us.

Guns were the physical how behind the why of the rise of modern America as we fought our way from one war to the next. The simplistic weapon—and logic—later rid foreign lands (along with bombs) of their occupiers during two World Wars.

After the horror of world wars, then Korea, and Vietnam, except for avid gun enthusiasts, many guns quietly went into closets. They had served their purpose—and at great costs—before we had to get them back out again.

The cycle of violence is literally endless as are the reasons for continuing the insanity.

OUT OF BODY, OUT OF FEAR-MIND

Always in our subconscious minds is the memory of where we came from such a short time ago. My story is no different.

In my credit union, I stood expressionless until commanded to lay on my stomach as two other gunmen jumped on counter tops to demand their bags filled.

But, before I did, I had the most wonderful out-of-body experience while I was still in it. Fear left me. I clearly saw the bigger picture of what was happening—all of it out of my control.

It’s not like in the movies.

I’d had training just two weeks earlier with the Albuquerque Police Department. Only one little tidbit remained with me at that moment: “When you’re looking down the barrel of a gun, all you’re going to see is the gun. Take your eyes off the gun and try to get a description of the perp.”

Okay, but there are five of them. I’m going to get it all jumbled up—and we did.

First, when something goes “down,” you don’t go into action hero mode. You go into shock. Shock pretty much makes you freeze until you have enough wits about you to make sense of your new reality.

But, more importantly, I instantly saw that the event that was happening was part of a much larger collective energy field I had zero control over. (Too much to get into here.)

The most amazing realization?

I saw that no matter what happened, I wasn’t going to die of a gunshot wound. It would be death itself that took me. The gun and the gunman act as death’s agent within the unified field.

This will be hard for you to accept strictly from my word until you personally share a similar experience. It isn’t cancer, guns, accidents, etc. that kill you, it’s death.

However, no death is recorded in vain. Each transition is used to propel those aware of it to a higher state of consciousness.

It was my brother Matthew’s death in a motorcycle accident a year later that drove me to explore life and death. Hardly a scratch on his body, death took him that day. Nothing could have prevented it.

It’s an illusion of space and time that makes life appear as if it operates from cause/effect. I realized life and death itself are an illusion of time and space. There is only eternal life.

AMERICA’S PTSD

A year after the credit union robbery, I finally understood I was suffering from PTSD.

I had been so caught off guard and shocked by the ordeal, I was like a police officer, incessantly scanning my surroundings for any sign of impending foul play so I could be ready.

America’s wounds are also fresh, made raw every time there is a mass shooting. As distrust in government to serve the best interests of the people increases to new highs, nobody is giving up their guns.

Still, we are divided on how to solve our gun problems. Besides being in the pocket of gun manufacturers, elected officials feel it’s political suicide to take a stand on the divisive issue.

And so, the children take to the streets to demand protection from the mess created by grown-ups. What exactly is the mess?

You cannot solve a problem with the same energy that created it.

The NRA and gun manufacturers are happy to exploit the conundrum while we sit around and watch and see what the children will do next—because we don’t know what to do next.

LET GO OR CARRY IT FOREVER?

That day in the parking lot, I saw I had to lay down my weapon or carry it around with me forever. Though I didn’t carry around a gun; my weapon was fear.

Exhausted, I decided I couldn’t keep living my life preparing for the next crime to be committed.

Aren’t guns the symptom to the bigger cause of fear as a level of consciousness?

Like guns are a primitive form of self-protectionism, there are more evolved ways to secure physical freedom and to deal with fear.

Brain science research has shown when we enter a state of fear, our brain’s resources shift from the prefrontal cortex—our executive decision making center—to our emotional brain center shaving off I.Q points like a snow cone in summer.

As with the founders of this country who chose to take responsibility for their lives and be forward-thinking (in idealism), each one of us must take responsibility for our lives and be forward-thinking—meaning we must evolve and do better than the generations before us.

If you don’t evolve, the same energy you thought brought your freedom becomes another form of tyranny.

Doesn’t the NRA have undue influence over our elected officials? Aren’t mass shootings generating more of the same—more fear, and more guns? How is each one of us responsible for allowing America to arrive in such desperation?

Guns as a cure only target symptoms. We must arm ourselves with intelligence to resolve the problems plaguing this country.

Until each one of us awakens to the truth that guns will not solve any problem or create the world we wish to live in, America must grow up and minimally take responsibility for the negative social benefits of living within a gun society.

THE CURE

Taking responsibility is the first step leading to a higher consciousness that will yield higher intelligence.

Change requires an inactive body of peoples to take action. Start by picking the low-hanging fruit, demanding the banning of bump stocks, semi-automatic, and assault weapons.

Are you financially supporting the NRA?

Then, let’s support a new non-profit licensing agency, requiring owners to purchase umbrella liability policies for their guns. Fees go toward improved universal background checks, mandatory training, damage awards, and mental health and public awareness programs.

The argument has been that requiring gun licenses deters legal gun ownership. Everything is hard at first. Getting illegal guns off the street will be a process and take time.

It’s a beginning until the human species moves beyond separation consciousness’ ignorance, fear, and personal selfishness.

Investigate using morality’s universal super-value, sustainability, as your guiding light to ask yourself if guns are the proper solution.

Safety and self protection arise naturally out of higher consciousness manifesting as super-intelligence when sustainability becomes the measure by which to analyze and prevent a problem before it occurs.

Your brilliant moment is here now when you join an evolved society, seeing gun ownership for what it is–an illusion of safety–and no longer necessary.

I gave up fear and found freedom.

It’s a beautiful world that values all human life equally as a miraculous gift. This is unity consciousness.

It’s love that gives life and its freedoms, not fear.

Be the love that you are by being the change you wish to see.

I’d had training just two weeks earlier with the Albuquerque Police Department. Only one little tidbit remained with me at that moment: “When you’re looking down the barrel of a gun, all you’re going to see is the gun. Take your eyes off the gun and try to get a description of the perp.”

Okay, but there are five of them. I’m going to get it all jumbled up—and we did. That’s why we have video.

First, when something goes “down,” you don’t go into action hero mode. You go into shock. Shock pretty much makes you freeze until you have enough wits about you to make sense of your new reality.

But, more importantly, I instantly saw that the event that was happening was part of a much larger collective energy field I had zero control over. Too much to get into here.

The most amazing realization?

I saw that no matter what happened, I wasn’t going to die of a gunshot wound. It would be death itself that took me. The gun and the gunman act as death’s agent within the unified field.

This will be hard for you to accept strictly from my word until you personally share a similar experience. It isn’t cancer, guns, accidents, etc. that kill you, it’s death.

However, no death is recorded in vain. Each death is used to propel those aware of it to a higher state of consciousness.

It was my brother Matthew’s death in a motorcycle accident a year later that drove me to explore life and death. Hardly a scratch on his body, death took him that day. Nothing could have prevented it.

It’s an illusion of space and time that makes life appear as if it operates from cause/effect. I finally realized life and death itself are an illusion of time and space. There is only eternal life.

AMERICA’S PTSD

A year after the credit union robbery, I finally understood I was suffering from PTSD.

I had been so caught off guard and shocked by the ordeal, I was like a police officer, incessantly scanning my surroundings for any sign of impending foul play so I could be ready.

America’s wounds are also fresh, made raw every time there is a mass shooting. As distrust in government to serve the best interests of the people increases to new highs, nobody is giving up their guns.

Still, we are divided on how to solve our gun problems. Besides being in the pocket of gun manufacturers, elected officials feel it’s political suicide to take a stand on the divisive issue.

And so, the children take to the streets to demand protection from the mess created by the grown-ups. What exactly is the mess?

You cannot solve a problem with the same energy that created it.
