Qualities, mastery, balance
The first body, soul body, is the spark of the Infinite that resides in the core of your being.
Qualities: Humility, creativity. Realizing the eternal nature of your soul, so you naturally embody humility and creativity.
Key phrase: “Heart over Head” – Yogi Bhajan said that when the head rules, the head, and heart are both wrong; when the heart rules, the head, and heart are both right.
Mastery: Come from a place of great humility. Let every breath travel the thread of Light that connects you to the vast origin of the Creation. In this way, each thought and action will effortlessly flow with the natural creativity of the Divine.
If Imbalanced, weak: You come from the head instead of the heart. When this body is not nurtured, the tendency is to rely on the intellect instead of the intuition. This leads to confusion and frustration as the relaxed creative flow is blocked by a feeling of separation from the celestial source.
Key to Balancing: A spiritual practice that empowers you to raise your consciousness (the Kundalini energy) and to open your heart to the Divine.
Affirmation: I am safe, I am open
Today we will work in the lower bottom of the descending colon and in the kidney meridians, which are associated with judgment/criticism or openness and allowing. When we are judging and criticizing ourselves or others, we are mentalizing, and then we do not have time to love.
Our judgments and criticisms have nothing to do with others, they are just reflections about how we feel. We are the ones feeling those judgments and criticisms, not the other. We are feeling it in our kidneys, which filter out toxins from the body’s fluids.
When we do not own our own judgement field, and project it onto others, we end up recycling those toxins through the kidneys repeatedly, creating our own dis-ease. Most lower back ache comes from kidneys and adrenals that are stressed out from too much judgment and criticizing of self and others.
Also, headaches and lower back pain are signs of dehydration because the kidneys need water to filter the toxins out of the body! When we are open to life and allow it to be revealed to us, we are freeing ourselves from being locked down into the lower density emotions of guilt, shame, and blame.
Drink a gallon of water a day! Your kidneys need water to flush toxins out of your body!
We are diving deep into the root chakra, and our own place in the world. This is where we go to retrieve our lost WILL. SPIRIT must come down through the body to retrieve the WILL in order to bring balance to the HEART, then body becomes REAL-eyesed.
The WILL is how you discern which way to move, towards something or away from it, and WILL always keep you safe if you FEEL it. It is your own compass for how you WILL live/love your precious LIFE. Just that you are doing this cleansing process is a testament to your WILLINGESS TO BE, to LIVE life fully engaged in your body. TO BE AN EMBODIED SOUL.
When we deny feeling and WILL, we lock ourselves in the lowest density, stagnate and become unmovable, this is where dis-ease and eventually death takes over. Body loves rhythm and movement; it loves to vibrate because we are electro-magnetic beings of sound and light.
Stillness is not the same thing as unmoving death. Stillness is grounded light that vibrates. We come back to stillness repeatedly though meditation to find where we emerged, this is key to finding our original cause. As we become more familiar with stillness, we become more familiar with our own cause, our emergence point from source consciousness.
Emotional Body Healing
From the beginning of human history, each generation has taken on guilt and passed it down to the children. Parents, children, friends, spouses, partners and others have used guilt for behavior modification, punishment and revenge. Institutions like businesses, governments and religions have used guilt to keep people in line. Guilt is so much a part of the fabric of our culture that it seems quite radical to suggest that it's been a mistake.
But it has. Guilt (and its relations, shame and blame) have been a plague that has cost humanity untold pain, suffering and despair, causing us to feel bad about ourselves and to do less than our best.
The bad news is that we have loads of this stuff inside us and lots of people ready to help us take on more. The good news is that guilt can now be easily removed and kept away. (Since they are so similar and the release process is the same, I'll include 'shame' in the term 'guilt' from now on.)
Many believe that guilt is a feeling. However, on closer examination it's clear that guilt is a mental thing that 'infects' feelings. It's like a foreign substance that gets into or around emotions, like an infection in a wound.
Emotions, even the powerful negative ones, are meant to be felt and moved. Without guilt, feelings like grief, fear or anger can flow smoothly and move through us. We feel the feeling - and then it's gone, leaving a space that can later be filled with joy, excitement, power or other emotions. For instance, grief without guilt feels warm and smooth, like love. Fear without guilt feels like excitement or anticipation. Anger without guilt feels like power.
However, emotions with guilt in them are much more difficult to feel. They hurt. Guilt in or around a feeling causes it to abruptly stop and start again. This jerkiness in the otherwise smoothly flowing feeling causes a pain-like sensation we interpret as 'feeling guilty'.
The easiest way to deal with feelings infected with guilt has been to deny the feelings. For many of us this has been crucial to maintaining self-esteem and keeping our optimism high enough to go on with life. The problem with this is that denied feelings don't go away, they submerge and stay unconscious. This creates an opening for the split off parts of us (that experienced the feelings and are now unconscious) to repeat destructive or unwanted patterns of behavior.
Denial is only a coping mechanism. Real healing can come only when the feelings are felt, and the guilt is confronted and removed. Although the suggested practice that follows is very easy to do, it can facilitate very deep healing.
The truth is that you and I, everyone... we are all innocent. Many have believed that guilt has been necessary to keep us from doing 'wrong' things. But this isn't true, a good conscience does not depend on guilt, but rather on a self-assured sense of what is right and wrong.
In fact, guilt erodes conscience by degrading self-esteem and even causing self-hatred. With enough guilt, a person can get in a position where they feel obliged to prove to themselves and the world just how bad they are. Also, because emotions with guilt are hard to feel - they get denied and are no longer available to us. Without honest feelings to inform us, it is difficult to achieve that self-assured sense of right and wrong that makes a good conscience. The healing of guilt is in releasing the judgments that hold guilt in place.
Judgment Release Practice
In healing guilt, it is important to remember that we are here to learn. Learning is a trial and error enterprise. Sometimes we make mistakes, we do things we don't wish to repeat. So, we learn. If, however, in the learning process we get infected with guilt - we then feel bad, sometimes really bad. A learning experience turns into an internal crime and courtroom scene with the feeling of guilt as the primary punishment.
Learning is part of growing and evolving, and mistakes are excellent feedback in the learning process if they are used as such. Our culture has taught us that making mistakes is bad, but this is not true. Mistakes are the norm in trial and error learning, and in fact, they are necessary for learning and evolution. Learning is already hard enough without being punished for the mistakes that are a necessary part of the process.
The punishment and obvious result of negative judgments is guilt. Guilt erodes the sense of self-worth and makes it very difficult to feel feelings that have been infected with it. Depression is often the consequence of guilt-bound feelings that cannot move and are therefore denied. Guilt is held in place by judgments. Release the judgments, and the guilt goes too. And because judgments are decisions, they are easy to change. The secret is simply to decide again. Take back your original judgment, change your mind, undecide, unjudge.
There is a powerful step-by-step Process Coaching practice of Judgment Release that makes it very easy to heal guilt, blame, and shame. Before reading on, do this now to understand how powerful and easy it is to heal guilt in yourself.
Whatever it was that caused you to judge against yourself, it's not wrong, it's a choice. We have free will and every choice we make is valid, and particularly valid when it's used as a learning experience. Release each negative judgment until there are no more. That's all there is to it, when the judgments are released you are free again to decide about how you will feel and act in this and similar situations.
Guilt and blame are a continuum. When it is in us, it is guilt. When it is in someone else, it is blame. Guilt we feel impossible to own ourselves becomes blame when it is projected out onto another. Releasing judgments (blame) against others is just as liberating as releasing them against ourselves. Just say, "I release the judgment that (person's name) is bad because they . . ." and "I release the judgment that . . . is bad or wrong." Either way, guilt or blame, it's ours to release.
Does it seem too easy? You may find yourself very pleasantly surprised at the deep and permanent positive changes that occur when judgments are released. At first, it may seem like nothing has happened, no thunderbolts or deep feelings need to accompany the quiet release of judgments. Judgment making is a mental activity, and so is judgment releasing. Although these mental constructs have a very powerful influence over emotions, they are as easy to release as forming the intention and thinking the thought.
The effects of judgment release are often subtle at first, but always cumulative. The more often you stop to release judgments when something bothers you, the easier it goes next time. Also, after just a little practice, the releases will go very quickly. After some practice, often all that is necessary is to realize you've had the judgment, and it will automatically release.
Once we get in the process of judgment release, we can start to look at what beliefs formed those judgments in the first place. Then we can see if those beliefs serve us anymore or not, if they are causing us to judge self or other, they are not serving us! Once we have released what beliefs have formed our judgments, we can forgive ourselves for holding beliefs that were not serving our highest good by creating a judgment field that is detrimental to the frequency of our own inherent innocence.
Your shadow is not something to be feared
It is not evil
Your shadow
Pieces of your soul buried and hidden deep within
Experiences and memories locked away
For the pain they bring
Do not fear your shadow
Seek to express these parts of you
Bring them to the light
Recognize their divinity
Love them
Light them
Integrate them
This you see is a path to wholeness
Integration of the shadow within
This is beginning of your own multi-dimensional journey home to yourself!
You ARE the ONE you have been looking for all along.
Welcome home!
Focus today on the physical sensations that your body is holding, open to allow them while lovingly releasing anything that is holding your body in stagnation, density, and old patterns of judgment and criticism of self and others.
Head vs. Heart
Key Question: Can I be compassionate and creative with myself and with others in my activity and in my attitude?
The Soul body is your inner self, that which you KNOW as you, not your ego, that is who you think you are, your Soul is WHO YOU ARE. Heart and head must work together in order to achieve balance, our intellect must be tempered with our own compassion. When you are related with who you truly are you “follow your bliss” you live from the heart and your intellect follows naturally, head and heart working together in accord. Use the intelligent mind to do what your heart wants to do, it is that simple.
There is a disconnect between the heart and mind that only the Will can connect. The heart-centered are sappy and insipid. The mind-centered are intellectual and prone to dogma. How can you trust anything gotten from such isolation? There’s a more lucid point of view from a unified field rather than the clarity of a single isolated point. The unified field is built from a force of Will rather than just merely the heart or the mind. Lost fragments of integrity are put together rather than to be consumed into the delusion that the fragment is larger than the whole.
The Soul body is sensitive, and if we are not paying attention to our physical body we will miss hearing its special language which is FEELING. Your body is your best friend and the temple of your own Soul! Nurture and love your body for it is the vehicle of your Soul and of your ultimate liberation. Balance logic and intellect with feeling and intuition. Your emotions are the key to deeply understanding yourself and coming into your own LOVE! Pay attention to your own SOUL and there you WILL know who you ARE!
You are a divine child of God and deserve TO BE HERE NOW, thriving rather than surviving! You have already survived! Good job! Take a walk outside, the best way to get back to our true nature is through nature!
