Angels and the Law of Attraction.

Having watched 'The Secret' and read so much about it, I did not feel very inclined to read The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks. But somehow this book crossed my path several times and each time I picked it up and put it back on the racks at Crossword and Landmark I got a nagging feeling I was not doing the right thing. My Emotional Guidance System left me with the thought that I had let go something very valuable. Both these places are my favorite haunts. Each time I came home I decided that I would buy it at my next visit but somehow that did not happen. Then one fine day as I was busy with my office routine, the thought came back to buy the book and this time with a bang loud enough to take me to the book shop straight after work. I guess the angels were pushing me to do it so I went and got it finally! And not without regrets as I discovered the nuggets of wisdom that Abraham, a group consciousness had so beautifully put across through Esther as a channel. This was over a year back.

Sometime back after reading Ask Your Guides by Sonia Choquette, I was guided once again by the angels to re-read the Law of Attraction. The second reading made an even deeper impact on me. I realized that the Law of Attraction is one Universal Truth, that if given its due share and weightage in our lives, can profoundly affect the way we think and help us realize that we are and only we are the creators of our destiny! As I read through the book I could recall the various situations and incidents in my life that led me to take the decisions appropriate at that moment. It also showed me how things could have been different in others that could have been better, had I thought the right thoughts and let the Universe and the Laws of Attraction do their job. It also led me to understand that the things that I have always expressed gratitude for are the very ones that I had given positive thought too and in fact all that I had desired had actually manifested!

Then working on the suggestions that Sonia has made in Ask Your Guides, about invoking Angels to help us in our daily lives, I found that this was nothing but angels were a beautiful tool to consciously and deliberately create. When you invoke angels asking their help with a task or for anything that you desire, the anxiety factor that is second nature with most of us, just about begins to disappear and in this way leads us to manifest what we want. Invoking angels is like entrusting your job to someone you deeply trust, someone whom you know will do it just right, so that you can leave your cares behind and get on with other things. This is the best thing about invoking angels: they do such a fine job that often after it is done, you wonder how things moved so smoothly. And whether it is the angels or the Universe you thank after a task is done, you are adding to your own positive energy and helping things get better and better. It is then you realize that while invoking angels for help and guidance you have 'believed' in them, without the slightest tremor of doubt, and created what you wished to see. Believing indeed is seeing and not the other way round as we have all been conditioned to think!

Starting with small daily tasks is a wonderful way to build faith in those in the non-physical realm who were created just to help us work our way on the physical plane.

So invoke the angels and see the Law of Attraction manifest what you want They are the best bet in a world full of overwhelming choices and distractions!

Of Sonia Choquette, Angels and Spirit Guides

Reading about Angels has always fascinated the child in me. It was therefore, not out of place, that my friend Gita lent me a wonderful book loaded with information about them, written by Sonia Choquette titled ASK YOUR GUIDES. After reading Doreen Virtue's book Healing With Angels, this is one more book that reaffirms one's faith that angels can work for you, if you will only allow them to.

Reading it was going journeying back to a wonderful world that I realized I had left behind in my childhood. Having studied in a Convent school, angels have always been a familiar aspect of life, someone you were taught to call on or to pray to and ask for help when the need arose. But as one grows up and begins to face the adult world, it is easy to lose touch with the inner child and discover that the child-like innocent faith gets fainter and fainter being replaced by doubts that come from the ego.

Sonia Choquette has given wonderful tips about getting in touch with ones guides, healer guides, helper guides, runners, archangels, the ministry and light beings and many more, all of whom as I see them are forms of fine, positive energy that our visualization may give a human form. I do believe that God created angels to help us humans to realize and stay in touch with our spirit nature. But one thought that keeps coming to my mind is that as more and more infinitely good, realized souls traversed the earth, they created more such energy forms by sheer dint of their good thoughts. These thought forms eventually took on an angelic appearance to guide us humans. Apart from angels who have never had an earthly existence, there are realized beings no longer incarnate, acting as our spirit guides helping us to experience the physical world, while helping us to remember that we are truly only spirit.

Reading the book one realizes how really easy it is to make contact with these wonderful creatures that God created specially for us to make existence on this planet smoother, to better guide our spiritual evolution. Beginning with simple experiments like finding parking spaces when out, crossing a crowded street in peak traffic hours, working or meditating undisturbed without the phone ringing reaffirmed my faith in the angelic world. All that one needs to do is to only ask and then forget allowing the angels to do their job and thank them for it. Calling on angels also reminds us how really important it is to remain in an attitude of gratitude always and thank God and the Universe for the infinite blessings we have received and continue to receive.

A positive thought when sent forth with faith works because it is not shrouded in layers of doubt. Invoking angels is exactly the same thing. It is like putting a positive thought form into the Universe and then allowing the Universe (read Angels) to do the job, while you forget it and firmly believe with full faith that it will manifest. All good things work and so do all good thoughts that are for the greatest good of our own selves and others. It is only a matter of faith and patience that are called for to see them manifest.

Thank you Gita for being a 'teacher guide' and introducing Sonia Choquette.

The following is a prayer from the book which I recalled having learnt in school.

Angel of God, guardian dear,
To whom God's love commits me here,
Ever this day, be at my side,
To light, to guard, to rule and guide.

Learning to work with angels one does begin to realize that life can be really 'charmed' as Sonia Choquette rightly says, ' It is our birthright to expect a charmed and blessed life'.

Body Talk

A month ago some of us a VIBES decided to learn a new healing modality called Body Talk evolved by Dr. John. Veltheim .
Dr.Suresh Dagur of Pune, who is an expert in the field came done and conducted an intensive four-day session after a very interesting introductory lecture on the subject which was well-attended.

Body Talk is a wonderful modality that aims at balancing the communications systems in the body through understanding the mind-body as a whole and tapping into its innate wisdom to restore any disruptions. It is based on Vedic energy systems and Chinese meridians. Tapping the cortices is a wonderful technique that can be used by one an all on a daily basis. Dr. Dagur demonstrated this at the introductory lecture. Watch the procedure at http://www.bodytalkhealthcare.com/documents/tapping_out_the_cortices.pdf and http://www.bodytalksystems.com/videos/

The four-day workshop was wonderful and we gained a lot from learning modules 1 & 2. Now it is all a matter of practice and study of the protocol to make it 'second nature'.

Experimenting between ourselves we have as a group gained a good deal from practicing on each other. Thanks to Dr. John Veltheim who has evolved this balancing technique and to Dr. Suresh Dagur for bringing it to us.

No Monday Morning Blues After the Long Break

I just realised I had not blogged after the 10th of Oct. Having taken a break for a holiday, blogging got relegated to the back burner and on my return had several things to do, the main being getting back to the daily routine; not that it is dull or boring, just the usual housewifely chores and evening walks and all. But the relaxation now seems to have stretched to shameful limits and something tells me it is time to blog and once again resume my search for interesting stuff to blog about.

I guess I'll get back to it, once the rounds of weddings and celebrations has ended, but that may not be before the middle of this month.

Thankfully my group of like-minds, VIBES, meets every Monday and we continue with our healing work with Family Constellations and this is one day of the week I look forward to with eagerness , and excitement for any new learning that may happen, quite unlike the 'Monday morning blues' I used to experience during my working life, that I have now happily put behind!

Healing a Past Life With Family Constellations

Yesterday the 'VIBES' healing group worked on a family constellation with some variation, deviating from the norm of working with the present to heal the past and set right the future. The person seeking the constellation has chronic knee pain and was regressed earlier to reveal that in a past life she was a very highly placed male, landowner who had beaten to death a worker for some wrong committed by him.

Despite several healing modalities, she is still plagued with painful knees. So we wondered if we could work through this with a family constellation by setting up the stage to enact a scene from a past life. This was a 'victim-perpetrator' kind of situation where she was the perpetrator. We decided to give it a try.

The experience was like any other only we were working with a life already lived. The person representing the 'perpetrator' experienced pain in her legs as if her knees would give way anytime. She also experienced deep guilt, anger and shame at her own behavior. She sought forgiveness of the victim, who had this feeling of' wanting the perpetrator to go down on knees' and ask forgiveness. The perpetrator also desired to seek forgiveness of the wife and family of the 'victim'. As she did this, the pain in her legs began to subside slowly. The facilitator asked her to release all her guilt, shame and sorrow (which she experienced as lump in her throat) and guided her to forgive her own self and release all negative emotions, especially the guilt she was carrying heavily from that birth.

For the 'Vibes' group this was the first experience of working through a past life with a family constellation. It felt no different from any other we had worked on before. It was only working with energies of a past life that were waiting to be released so that healing could occur for both the victim and perpetrator.

There is a strong belief among Native Americans that when an individual heals, seven generations before and seven generations after also get healed. Eventually all that a Family Constellation set up calls for; the release of negative energies that were entangled in a past life so that its affects on the future can be erased and the door ways to healing opened up for all concerned. The beauty of this kind of inner work lies in the profound group healing that is experienced.

All is Choice say the Michael Teachings

Some time in 2005 I attend a Past Life Regression workshop conducted by Dr K Newton of Hyderabad. Dr. Newton, is one of the most unassuming, humble souls I have come across. Both he and his wife, Dr. Lakshmi conduct several workshops on several new age subjects like Rebirthing, Inner Child etc. (See www.liferesearchacademy.com)

During the workshop he spoke to us of Soul Age and remarked that only Mature or Old souls would attend such a workshop! It felt great to hear that remark! He told us a little about Soul Age. The subject seemed awe-inspiring and fascinating. Thanks to Dr. Newton for having led me to something that changed the way I looked at life and brought a great attitudinal shift from within.

Back home that day after the workshop I could not wait to google 'soul age' and get more info on the subject. That's how I came across the Michael Teachings. (www.michaelteachings.com) I got hooked on to the website and soon became a member of their yahoo group. Since then there has been a wonderful exchange of information via the group and the teachings of Michael(s) an entity comprising 1050 souls, channeled by some of the members of the group. The channelings are a great source of information for all seekers of esoteric truths. The website is one that can keep such seekers glued onto for ever!

One of tenets of the teachings that really seemed to resonate with my personal beliefs was that of choice, one that I rarely voiced because I could not validate what I believed, till I read the Michael Teachings. Michael says, "All is choice. All choices are valid. Choices have consequences. We create our own reality through our choices." Once this truth is accepted, a fragment (soul) begins to accept responsibility for all his thoughts, words and actions. Accepting responsibility is, to my mind, the first and most integral step towards soul growth. Without it we feel we are pawns in a game that some higher force other than ourselves is playing, one that leads us to believe we are like puppets on a string, which is far from the truth. We feel it is okay to just stumble through life and not take one step towards finding out more about looking at the bigger picture of what our earthly existence actual means.

Another tenet of Michael that is my favorite is "We are spiritual beings on a human path". This makes a lot of sense, especially when you begin to understand the existence of subtle bodies that cannot be perceived by the physical senses. The physical plane is one of growth through experience and the only one that affords the highest opportunity for soul growth.

We often remark about not having a choice in situations, whereas the actual truth, if we remove the layers of illusion that blind us, will show that the choice was there; it was only we who chose not to make it because we feared the consequences. Either way making a choice or not making it will have consequences. So really there is no such thing as 'not making a choice'. 'No choice' is also a choice!

Of Childhood Bruises and Healing From a Loving Father

None of us ever go through childhood without bruises and bumps received in the rough and tumble of play. Many of them leave scars, some of which are memories of a beautifully spent childhood with loving, caring parents and siblings to ease away the pain and wipe away tears.

I can vividly recall how my father had a wonderful way to help rid me of the pain of a bruised knee or injury from a fall. He had a knack of magically making the pain vanish all in a matter of a few minutes! He would ask me to first show him the injury, ask me to close my eyes, and then proceed with his magic; not that I ever really closed my eyes, I looked at the process through half-open eyes! He would lightly touch the injured part and would hold his other hand a few inches away from the bruised knee then make a circular sweeping movement round it, pretending to collect something in his fist and then make a gesture of throwing it away. He would then ask me to open my eyes and would remark, 'there goes your pain out of the window, look its gone'. And right enough this whole process really and completely relieved the pain! It also seemed so magical and filled me with wonder and awe, a feeling I sadly regret having left behind in childhood.

Now as I read Dr Richard Bartlett's Matric Energetics I look at the whole process as 'two-pointing' and the gesture of 'discarding the pain' with a deft hand movement, as a pranic healing procedure of removing painful energy and allowing fresh energy to replace it and dissolve pain.The whole act was done so playfully as he managed to bring in an element of fun into it to make a little child feel happy, loved and pain-free. When I recall those moments, it feels just wonderful to realize that many a times we do things very matter-of-factly not realizing we are into a process that ' we have learnt before' and held in our memories for recall at the right moment. That is exactly what my Dad did. If he were around and I told him about ME and Pranic Healing he would have laughed it off, being the skeptic that he was! I would have to remind him of his wonderful magic and tell him what exactly he was doing, albeit unknowingly!

After reading Dr Bartlett's book on ME and the ME website, I realize how really important it is for us to never lose track of the 'joy of feeling wonder' and to keep our tabs on that playful aspect of ourselves that gets lost as adulthood catches on. Some time back I read and enjoyed every word of a wonderful article titled: Imagination and Play are FUNdamental in Healing
By Jennifer Buergermeister, that speaks of this, at the following link:
http://www.matrixenergetics.com/pdfs/Imagination_and_Play.pdf
Other interesting articles can be read at the following link:
http://www.matrixenergetics.com/Articles.aspx
I feel as we go through life we fragment ourselves and lose that wonderfully pristine, child-like energy with our interfering egos! Now it means having to work on ourselves to get back that wonderful sense of awe back.

I wish some Shaman would come and help me retrieve that lost 'soul energy' of play-fullness and once again feel and experience that same 'child-like wonder'. Or may be I could two-point through time travel, accessing the morphogenic field of that time and feel that childhood wonder and play-fullness return to me once again!

Trusting an Intuitive Flash

All through my working life , I was used to doing air bookings via the Internet but making rail booking were a new ball game altogether! You were dealing with the Government after all and therefore, more reason to be filled with apprehensions!

A month back I tried booking train tickets via the internet. The process went through successfully. My confidence doing railway bookings grew, till last week when things just did not work! For some reason or the other things just did not go through as before. This time I thought I would used my debit card instead of my credit card. The failed transaction resulted in the amount being debited to my SB account without the ticket being booked! I tried again with my credit card, but things did not change. After a few calls to the call center I felt relieved that despite the transaction having one far, no amount was debited to my credit card. The confidence I had gained suddenly was at an all time low and I had still to book my return tickets but felt too diffident to try again. I gave up the idea and decided that the best recourse would be to go to the railway station and book the old-fashioned way! I decided I would do this in a couple of days as there were plenty of berths available for the journey I had planned.

Then yesterday while cooking the morning meal, a thought suddenly flashed, a voice all too insistent said that I keep my cooking aside and switch on the computer and do my booking. I hate giving up tasks mid way in order to get on with others, but today was just different. It felt as if a voice in my head kept saying 'do it now' and it got louder and louder. I tried to ignore it, but it got the better of me and within fifteen minutes I had switched on the system and opened irctc.co.in and lo and behold the transaction was over and done with. I was able to get a confirmed booking, all within a matter of less than 5 minutes! I was pleasantly surprised and relieved. There would be no need to step out of home to do the booking, something I just abhor, especially when the heat of the day gets the better of you.

Many a times we ignore a hunch and take it for granted as just a passing thought. It's only when we pay heed to it that we realise that even if it comes unwarranted, it comes with a reason; it comes to teach us to rely on that something we call 'intuition' that is a gift to all who will trust in it and use it. And slowly but surely as we learn to pay heed to it for its true worth, it grows and grows and becomes an instinctive, intrinsic part of ourselves, exactly what it was intended to be!

Meditating on the Guru, Matrix Energetics and Laws of Attraction

Some time back my friend Gita lent me a book by Swami Muktananda titled , Chitshakti Vilas: The Play of Consciousness. The book is an experiential description of Swami Muktananda as he traces his journey of spiritual growth.

Swami Muktananda speaks reverently about his guru Swami Nityananda of Ganeshpuri and how
he was guided by this great realised soul; a man of few words. Swami Muktananda describes him as a highly realised soul whose mere presence was enough to give any one the Kundalini experience. A mere touch or glance was enough to heal and send the receiver into ecstasies that are only possible through a spiritual experience!
Read about Swami Nityananda at http://www.bhagawannityananda.org/

Much of the book is devoted to explaining the importance of meditation, particularly meditating on one's Guru. The Guru is often a role model that we look up to, wanting to imbibe his/her qualities in ourselves so as to enhance the quality of our lives.What better way to do it than through meditation, by just focusing on his qualities and allowing the energies of these qualities to come to you as you meditate on your Guru. As one meditates one enhances the quality of one's aura making it stronger, better and fine tuning its vibrations to a higher frequency than the current one.

Richard Bartlett in his book, Matrix Energetics by Richard Bartlett speaks of two waves of light coming together and merging, losing their original identities and becoming one. As I read this, I recalled Swami Muktananda speaking of meditating on his guru, Swami Nityananda and realised that this is exactly what happens during meditation on the guru. As you continue to meditate on your Guru you are energetically connecting with his powerful aura and imbibing some of its subtle, powerful energies that give you the feeling of being uplifted and slowly bringing about a change or shift in your own personal attitude as to how you perceive the world around you and others in the game of life.

Laws of Attraction by Jerry and Esther Hicks has also brought out the same point. They have stated that if we like a quality in another, we must meditate on that quality and by sheer dint of this act we will slowly but surely begin to attract this very quality in ourselves through the Laws of Attraction coming into force!

Thus meditating on one's Guru is a meditation with immense potential for imbibing the qualities of the Guru and feeling uplifted and raising one's vibrational frequency at least a notch higher as one traverses the path of spiritual growth!

A Friend Relates Her Experience at Pondicherry

A dear old friend and ex-colleague has just returned from a trip to Pondicherry Ashram of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Auroville, the very word exudes a pristine energy that gives the place its unusual spiritual charm.

It was wonderful listening to her relate her experiences in Auroville and of the Ashram in particular, a place she had always wanted to visit. The experience she said was just one of a kind and a 'must have' for all. The energy in and around the Ashram was so full of positive vibrations that it was impossible for anyone to go there and not feel charged and rejuvenated.

The meditation hall, she said, is carpeted and one has to don special socks that are provided at the entrance. The meditation experience in the hall was one of peace and tranquility. She said that with the pin-drop silence in and around the place, it is sure to take you to meditative states that may otherwise seem elusive. The French architecture she said was awe-inspiring and the cleanliness spoke tons of the spiritual and godly aura of Auroville.

Both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother were realized souls with a special mission in life. Their lives were exemplary, resting in the firm belief that there is no greater religion other than 'humanity'. They lived this secular principle all through their lives in their thoughts, words and actions. Together they dreamt of a place where people could come and experience peace in silent meditation and come to learn that there is more to their physical existence than the mundane world they live in. Together they saw the dream come true in Auroville.

From her descriptions of the place and her experiences I realised how profoundly satisfying and soul-uplifting her trip had been. I made a strong wish there and then to be able to visit this place in the future and soak in the wonderful pristine energy of the place.

My friend brought back tender, loving gifts of aroma candles and incense sticks and a lovely magnetic book mark, knowing I am an avid reader, and I felt deeply grateful for this lovely gesture on her part. I am sure I will make a trip to Auroville some day soon.

First Family Constellation at Vibes: Centre For Quantum Consciousness

On Friday last the VIBES group did a Family Constellation for a client. Though as a group VIBES has done several family constellations, this was the first one for a client.

The client came with an issue concerning the unmarried status of her son. She selected people from among the group to represent her family members and then watched as the silent drama unfolded, as representatives tapped into the morphogenetic fields of the family members, taking on their energies and acting just like those they represented! She was amazed at how this was all happening. Gita and Kalpana, the facilitators, explained as much was required and urged her to wait and watch how changing energy patterns that would soon emerge. They emphasized that too much discussion was unwarranted and unnecessary as healing was inevitable.

The resolution came easily as unwanted energies from ancestors who had passed on, had created a bondage with the present generation, were released, thus allowing avenues for opening up of newer energies to come in and shape the future of the family.

The experience was wonderful to the client and the participants and to VIBES as a healing group, that is ever so eager to work with a Family Constellation!

The Message of the Fridge

Most of us assume that everyday will be just like any other and things will go on and tasks will get done as they do every day, without a glitch. But sometimes things around you just decide to cave in and there, you suddenly feel you are at a loose end!

Yesterday our fridge of fifteen odd years just decided that it would call it a day (temporarily atleast!). Early morning I discovered that there was no ice forming in the freezer and that the fridge bootles were not as cool as they normally are. Thankfully the service centre responded fast and by afternoon I ws told that the no-frost part had just died and need to be replaced. Thank God I thought at least this can be done fast and I did not have to let the fridge go out of the house for a few days for it to get repaired. The technician said it would have to be kept switched off till the block of ice that had formed behind the freezer could melt and he could work. So there I was at wits end wondering what to do with the contents. Thankfully I have my sister-in-law staying in the neighbourhood and she readily and benevolently agreed to accomodate my stuff in her's till my fridge was repaired. And so by evening I was able to settle my stuff in her fridge and felt grateful about the presence of caring relatives around me.

I remembered the days when there were no refrigerators around. My Mom used to heat the milk several times a day to keep it fresh all through the day so that we as youngsters could get it when we came home from school. She would set the curds at night so that no extra milk ever got wasted. I did just that and felt good I did not have to dispose stuff into the drain.

The whole episode lead me to clean up and discard several things from the freezer which most of us just tend to accumulate, thinking they we will be handy when required at a later date. Unfortunately when we actually need such stuff our memories may have run dry and we have gone out and fetched the same stuff only to find some of it still in the freezer stored away for future use!

I realised how methaphorical this entire incident really was. It lead to me to think how we carry a baggage of our sour memories and negative emotions and 'store them away for future use' when we would have been better off and lighter without them. Sour memories as I see them are incidents when we have been hurt or angered by another and we tend to store them away 'waiting for the right moment to hit back'. But what earthly good does it do to us? The negative energy from them remains locked in our meridians and over time accumulates to make us ill. Meditation is one way to realease them and let them go. It helps the channels in our body to dispose of the unwanted, negative energies that have blocked the free-flowing 'prana' that is so vital for good, holistic health.

My friend who is a Feng Shui expert often reminds our 'Vibes' group to get rid of unwanted 'clutter'. Clutter can be at the material, physical level or at the energetic emotional or mental level. Wherever it be, regular spring cleaning helps both the home, hearth and the heart!

At the end of the day I was grateful that this indispensible household gadget caved in because it had a message: one of being vigilant and learning to stay healthy by discarding unwanted emotional baggage that was not required.

Matrix Energetics & Richard Bartlett

Matrix Energetics is one of the most fascinating books on healing that I have read recently. Dr. Richard Bartlett has managed to convey in easy to comprehend terms what quantum consciousness is and that it can be relatively simple to use energy if one operates from the level of complete faith and then 'let's go'. Both are not so easy because most of us work from 'concensus reality' instead of learning to create our own with complete faith and then just letting go!

'Two pointing' is a wonderful technique and when I think about how Christ healed the sick, it seems just like 'two pointing'. See the picture at this link:

http://karenswhimsy.com/public-domain-images/life-of-jesus/life-of-jesus-6.shtm.

What many of us may not have consciously understood is that many times we do 'two point' but remain unawares that we are actually doing it. Have you ever wished for something just saying 'I wish....' and then within a short time received 'that something' and wondered how it all came about? It all came because at that instant you operated from complete faith, energized a thought and just let it go!

Neale Donald Walsch in his book Conversations With God Part I says that Jesus could heal because he operated from complete faith and believed in himself completely and totally, leaving absolutely no room for doubt. Unfortunately many of us take many lifetimes to reach and operate from a high level of complete, unquestioning faith even in small matters. When I read some of the instances described by Dr. Bartlett, I was absolutely sure that he must be one of those fortunate few who operates from this level of complete faith and then simply and easily is able to let go and let the quantum wave do its job!

He seems like one belonging to another universe come to teach us earthlings of the immense gifts we have at our disposal of which we are so unawares.

Kudos to him for this wonderful book with radical ideas, very well-written , exploring new ground and allowing as he calls it 'transformation' to occur.

God Bless you Dr. Bartlett!

'Vibes' Center for Quantum Consciousness Is Born

After much thought and discussion we finally decided to move ahead with starting a healing center.

'Vibes' Center for Quantum Consciousness plans to reach out to people and aims at being a 'one stop destination' for healing solutions, with the main focus being a therapy called Family Constellations. Other healing modalities will include, Siddha Healing, Emotion Code, Reiki and many more.

The Center will also be an avenue for healing as well as for teaching healing modalities and helping people understand that human consciousness must go beyond the physical body if healing is to be holistic.

We all met on 27th August and started with a meditation to invoke the blessings of God and the higher energies of Ascended Masters, Angels and other highly evolved spiritual beings.

We now look forward to taking up this mission in full earnest and work as channels to do healing work for our fellow human beings with God's blessings and the good wishes of all our well-wishers and friends.

Energy Work with Matrix Energetics and Emotion Code

Just realised, I had not blogged for almost a month. It's not there was nothing to write about. There always is, if one put's one's mind to it, that is!

Have a nice group of like-minded souls and we meet up regularly to share our experiences with healing modalities and do healing work and meditate together. We call ourselves Vibes Angels. Gita is the leader of the group or rather the glue that holds the group together, the Angel Raphael of the Group who knows so many healing techniques and has so much to share. Ila, Kalpana and Jayshreeben are healers with a lot of healing experience to their credit. The rest of us are all learners and growing under their caring tutelage!

The last few weeks we had frequent meets and did a lot of experimentation with healing work. We tried out something called Matrix Energetics (ME) and Emotion Code (EC) on each other. As a group its just two years we have been together, but individually most every member in the group is familiar with healing work and knows what healing sublte bodies and emotions realy is. But it is such a vast field and so much to learn each day and add to one's knowledge bank.

ME is working with quantum energy, tapping into that field and making a connecting link that sets healing into motion. It has been developed byDr. Richard Bartlett who is a Chiropractor using quantum waves in healing. He has discovered several frequencies and each of them can be tapped into for healing. Watching him do the healing work on Youtube gives one the idea about ME.

Emotion Code works of releasing trapped or 'locked' emotions from the body. Most of us keep our emotions locked at points in the body and never wake up till that part begins to get painful and hurt. The techniques used are muscle testingor kineseology and then using a gentle magnet to release locked emotions by passing it over the Governing Meridian that starts from the upper lip, goes over the head and down the spine till the tail bone.

All said and done, both ME and EC work well. In fact most healing modalities work at some level or the other to make us feel more holistic as humans, something we tend to forget when we fail to connect with our spirits. Energy work makes us realise we are indeed spiritual beings on a human path!

Cats Can Heal

Till our daughter brought home her cat Jenny, we never knew what it felt like to have a cat around the house. Having been used to a pet dog, a cat around the house is quite different. In fact the only time a cat makes its presence felt is at meal times. The rest of the time it will be out of your way and wish you too would leave it alone.

When you think of a cat you think of character traits like fierce independence, curiosity, cleverness, alloofness, unpredictability. They have acute hearing and are highly intelligent. But they also have a unique and special ability to heal. I was amazed when I read this at http://www.sayahda.com/cyc1.html

The energy field of a cat rotates counterclockwise, opposite to that of a human. As a result they have the wonderful ability to balance and align our energy fields by neutralising any energy that can affect us negatively. When you feel low and the day's events have run down your energy negatively, your pet cat can help you. Just let her hop on to your lap and spend some time there. When a cat sits in your lap it realigns your energy field and help you to restore any inner poise or balance that may have been lost at the end of a tiresome day.

Little wonder that ancient Egyptians used cats to guard their temple gates because they believed cats could ward of evil.

They say if a cat comes into your life, it means mystery and magic in your life. After Jenny's first visit to our house, a marmalade cat came daily to perch on our window sill. Probably she had smelt Jenny's presence. She was cautious and wary of us but slowly got a bit friendly and would leave only after we fed it some milk and bread. In fact this became a routine for aleast 3 months. She even decided to walk in one day with her other mates, who used to romp on our bed just next to the bedroom window. They would disappear as fast as they came as soon as they heard a foot fall.

I do not remember any mystery or magic but this marmalade cat soon turned friendly enough to allow us to pet her occasionally. It became a regular routine for her to come early every morning and demand her share of food. Till one fine day when she failed to make an appearance. I waited for days on end, keeping milk and bread for her at the window sill. But it remained untouched. I guess she fell prey to street dogs or got killed by a passing car. Missed her a lot for sometime.

Whenever I come across a marmalade street cat, I often wonder if she is the same one who came to our window, drawn to our house by Jenny's presence.

This Cat Loves a Beanbag

When my daughter and son-in-law come to spend a short holiday with us, they bring their cat Jenny along. In fact wherever they go, the cat goes with them!
The first time they brought her, she was just 2 months old, small and rather wary of new places and people. It was winter and rather cold. After initial exploration of the house, she decided that going under the quilts was the best way to stay warm. She would snuggle herself under one and even get beneath ours when we were sleeping, crouching close to keep the cold away. She soon became familiar with my husband and would climb on to his chest and fall asleep! When they left, we missed her loving, warm presence.

Jenny was picked up from the roadside as a palm-sized, undernourished tiny kitten with half-burnt whiskers that was probably unknowingly abandoned by the mother and siblings. She has now grown into a grey tabby, very cute, with a distinct personality of her own, full of life and curiosity like any other cat, so domesticated that a trip outdoors can set her heart beats and pulse rate racing!

She spends her day alone when her owners are out working. The high kitchen shelf is her favorite prank spot. She loves to get in and rummage around. The shelf is therefore, put to little use. Cupboards are fun to get into and curl up in. Leave a cupboard door open and if you don't find her anywhere, she's sure to be in it! It's fun watching her sitting on the window sill, her tail swishing angrily ready to prey on the birds outside. This is one of her favorite pastimes. But come dusk, she becomes keenly alert about a footfall on the staircase, almost like a dog awaiting its master's return. And when my daughter comes home, she licks her face like a dog would, purring all the while, hardly being able to contain her joy.

She has a thing about beanbags. She just loves them. Loves to feel cosy when she settles herself in the black one that came to us as a gift from our daughter. But this time when she came over, she made it her domain and left her energy signature behind by peeing on it! My daughter says, she does the same at their home, setting her claim on the beanbag as her exclusive property!

It's almost three months now since their return and no matter how many times I have cleaned the beanbag with Savlon and disinfectant, a faint whiff of her terrritorial imprint still tickles my olfactory nerves when I settle down with a book, in its cosy comfort! I guess cats and beanbags were just made for each other!

Do I see The Rain Gods Smiling?

Yesterday while taking a walk in the college campus grounds next door, we noticed a pair of lapwings closely guarding their eggs. Lapwings are called Titeri in India or Titodi in Gujarati. We tried to go closer and have a look. They responded with their shrill cries, guarding the eggs more than ever. The eggs are barely noticeable and laid directly on the earth, not in a nest like other birds. Their colour seemed almost camoflagued against the earthy backdrop. It is believed in Gujarat that when a female lapwing lays eggs it is a sure sign of the coming showers of rain; almost like an invitation to the rainclouds inviting their benevolence!Looks like the rain gods have finally relented! It is nice to see them smile this year particularly after the sultriness of the past six weeks. There was a good down pour last night at about 1.00 PM,with the place cooling down considerably. Things look greener and more cheerful. Am keeping my fingers crossed that the spell of showers continues and the monsoon even if late repairs the damage of the overly extended summer.The positive energy of hope comes alive once again!

Was It A Pre-Monsoon Shower Last Night?

Last night brought on a shower of rain, good enough to give some relief, but not enough to feel the impact of the monsoon. Was more like a pre-monsoon shower. Flashes of lightning lit up the skies at about 1.00 AM but without the crackle of accompanying thunder. This morning the trees and leaves look a bit green with the dust just washed away. The koels (cuckoos) and peacocks have expressed their joy with louder, somewhat more energetic calls! It's humid once again and looks like there will be good spells of rain today. The skies are overcast though not quite as dark as one would want them to be. Hoping the evening will bring relief and bring down the mercury cooling down the place for some pleasant weather that is the need of the moment!

Where Have All The Rain Clouds Gone?

Wonder where the rain clouds have disappeared. No rains this side of the country. Farmers are waiting with baited breath in the hope that the rains will breathe life to a failing crop in an already bleak scenario. The weatherman blames it all on El Nino. Rains are the lifeblood of our Indian farmers and hope for housewives that vegetable prices will come down. But with the monsoon playing truant all this seems a remote possiblity.

The days are more sultry than ever and the much wanted respite from the heat seems reduced to just wishful thinking! The singing koel (cuckoos) and dancing peacocks have suddenly made themselves scarce or are they hiding far from sight to beat the heat of a prolonged summer?

The two of us generally take a nice long walk with the first shower of rain and love to drench ourselves down to the bone, if you will! It's good fun to do so and forget your age for a change this one day of the year as we enjoy the first showers of monsoon like kids and then come home to enjoy a good cup of hot coffee or mug full of hot soup.

But this year its a different story. It's already the 8th of July and no rain so to speak. The cuckoo's cry has a distant quality, or do I hear a cuckoo call its mate while still urging the rains to come on with a parched throat?

I'd rather be positive and not give up hope that the much awaited rain showers will soon make their appearance and cool down the place. We still have three weeks of July and the whole of August to hang on to hope like never before and look forward to the thrill of getting wet like children once again!
