QUALITIES OF HEALING

NORMA GENTILE sound shaman www.healingchants.com

Consider how you are asking for guides, angels and energies to assist you. The back side of each chakra draws to you guides and angels that support you, according the quality of the chakra itself. Ideally the back side of each chakra perfectly reflects your soul’s journey now. But like all of our energies, the webbing of the chakra’s vortices can be out of tune or not fully and accurately reflect our soul’s journey. Here is a meditation to help you re-weave the chakras, and call to yourself guides and angels that more fully support you in your life, here and now.

2. Creating Sacred SpaceThere are many emotions and energies within the land that Nature holds on behalf of humanity. For right now, we’re going to leave those asleep. Welcome those Nature Spirits and Intelligences to step forward at what they would consider to be their level of unconditional love. Let them show you something new.

Welcome The Pure Energy of Nature, an aspect of creation that we all belong to. The Pure Energy of Nature is made up of a drop of each of our essences. All that is in physical form has a drop of its essence within this pure energy of nature. It feels like a warm, usually somewhat thick, watery quality. Sensation. All of these together create a sphere around the space that you are in. We ask that the sphere reflect what Nature considers to be unconditional love. In this way, they demonstrate to us as humans something new. The sphere may tune beyond our limited human understanding and experience of unconditional love. This supports us even further in our own exploration of what unconditional love might be while we are here in human form.

We also welcome that aspect of Archangel Michael that sits with each to be present. Michael is known to many people in many cultures by other names. It is an energy that helps other energies go home. For this reason, I invoke Archangel Michael. You probably already know this energy.

You can even ask the Nature Spirits and Intelligences of the room and land beneath that are holding the sphere to cleanse and clear the room and land beneath. Let all those energetic patterns and beings not related to your meditation step outside the sphere for a moment. Anybody that needs to return to continue to work with you will do so. For now, thank everyone who is helping you make your grocery list or your to-do list, and just let them sit outside the sphere for a moment so you have quiet space to welcome in that guide or angel that is truly in tune with you for this moment of time, for what you’re about to do now.

3 Multitasking leads to doing what is not yours to do Throughout our daily lives we are multi-tasking. There almost seems to be something wrong with us if we can’t focus on three things simultaneously. And yet, the more things that demand our attention, the less of our attention any single one of them will receive.

Isn’t it interesting that our culture has come to value doing things at a very superficial level? I should say, doing multiple things at superficial levels. When our mental attention is so divided, so is our psychic and spiritual attention divided. The ability to create and hold focus on a single task means that we are also becoming resonant to that task. As our body, our psyche, even our psychic powers come into resonance with a task, we can feel whether or not it’s appropriate for us. We can feel whether or not we truly want to do it. If we are only superficially engaged with a task, then we will not feel as strongly whether or not it is truly ours to do. I wonder how many things we end up doing because of this?Too often in our culture I hear praises about someone who ‘pushed through’ pushing or exhortations to ‘just do it’. From the Spiritual energetic perspective ‘pushing through’ something merely means that you are injecting your energy where it probably doesn’t need to be or want to be. Being in resonance to a task, to an idea, to any sort of project you might be considering, means feeling into the quality of energies that pertain to that particular task. How does this feel to my body? How does this feel to my heart?

Sometimes things can be challenging or difficult to complete and still be in resonance to you. Often you get a sense that this task is actually a long-term project and is going to take a while to complete. You may even ‘hear’ or have an inner understanding that this task is going to include times of intensity.

So what is a tangible difference between a challenging task that is yours to do and something you are doing but is not yours to do? A task that is yours to do is resonant with your soul. When you clear away the other tasks you are multi-tasking and let yourself consider just one task, an engagement and desire to dive into the task arises from within you. We have all had the experience of sitting down to do something and then suddenly looking up at the clock 2 hours later and realizing it felt like 10 minutes. That is engagement. That is when we are resonating to a task. It may be a phenomenally spiritual task like meditating or chanting or it could simply be doing some sort of programming at the computer. It could be considering something and beginning to write it out. Anything at all can draw passion through us. At this point in our reality it is incredibly important to begin to distinguish what we are doing, simply because it’s in front of us and we can do it in a superficial manner, and what we are doing because our soul’s journey is to do it.

4 Thymus (High Heart Chakra) keeps us on our soul’s journey. Consider how you are asking for guides, angels and energies to assist you. The back side of each chakra draws to you guides and angels that support you, according the quality of the chakra itself. The back side of the Thymus Gland Chakra draws to you guides and angels that are perfectly in tune with your soul’s journey now. Just like all chakras, the webbing of the chakra’s vortices can be out of tune or not fully and accurately reflect your soul’s journey.

5 Releasing Past Heart-based Guides/AngelsA meditation to clear the vortex and webbing of both Heart Chakras of any energies or patterns that simply don’t reflect you now. Then welcome spiritual helpers that are naturally drawn by your Heart Chakras to support you in your soul’s journey now.

By starting any healing with releasing guides and angels, you give permission for all the guides and angels that have helped you thus far to determine for themselves where they need to be in relation to you now. And you allow those who have completed their task with you to be about their other tasks. There is never anything wrong. It is simply that when their task has come to completion with you it is appropriate to thank and release them.

As always, it is the emotion of gratitude that sends the message to the guides and angels that you are releasing them. Thankfulness for their service to you allows them to feel whether or not their task is completed. As you experience stillness, they are able to leave gracefully, or update to your current soul’s journey.

We have moved from kindergarten to first grade in our Earth-based spiritual elementary school. Now we have more responsibility for how we communicate with the guides and angels that support us. Our role, as increasingly more adept students, is to recognize that when we consciously call upon any Beings or energies, we must also consciously thank and release them. Even if we unconsciously (ie habitually) call guides or angels in, we are still responsible to consciously release them. In doing so, we also allow the spaces they inhabit around us, especially behind us, to reflect the journey of our soul right now.

Guides and angels that have been with us for a very, very long time, for example since childhood, may not even feel like what we would think of as a guide or angel. It’s simply because they are so out of tune with who we are now. We have changed so much that they are no longer easily vibrating along with our soul’s journey. We experience them as not being at east with our body. For this reason I suggest releasing that which might feel heavy or stuck or awkward or odd to you. With the recognition that it is not evil or bad. Rather, it must have been in tune with some part of you and it’s simply no longer in tune with you.

Just like you have to continually tune a lute or a violin or a guitar in order to keep the strings vibrating accurately with each other, it’s important to take time now to consciously tune ourselves. We do that by letting ourselves feel physical sensations, experience emotions, and notice thoughts that no longer fit. By releasing, we create space for the guides and angels that work now with each one of us to be present.

When you identify and release energies that are no longer in tune with your body or soul, you complete a promise that you made to the energies when they came into your life. That promise was to help them get home. It was to help them move onto their own evolutionary path.

We think so often that guides and angels are here to support us and the reality is that it goes both ways. As the guide, the angel, the energetic being completes its task with us, we release it on to its next evolutionary step. Even guides and angels are learning and growing. Even guides and angels have places to be and things to do.

Isn’t it odd that the more in tune with us an energy is, the less we notice it? Clear water, when you add more clear water simply looks like clear water. As we become more accurate in welcoming a guide, angel or energy to sit with us, it simply feels like a little bit more of ourselves is present. With practice, the distinction between that which is and is not in tune with us becomes easy to feel.6. Discerning what are truly Healing Energies for YouHow can we develop our ability to distinguish an energy that is in tune with us from an energy that we simply can feel? In a very common metaphor we talk about using a sledge hammer instead of a feather to accomplish something. In energy work and in healing, I have often heard people way ‘I can really feel that energy. It must be strong. It must be good for me because I can feel it.’ After decades of offering energy healings, my response is this; maybe you can feel it because it’s not appropriate and not really in tune with you or your body. Perhaps those energies that you do not feel as strongly are so in tune with you that your psychic ability doesn’t pick them up nearly as quickly as what is not in tune with you. One sign of being in the presence of energies that are healing for you is that your body relaxes deeply, and you find yourself more aware of your body (i.e. you know where your toes are).

If an energy is truly in tune with us, it helps our aura expand. It helps our sense of self become stronger. It helps us feel our entire body as a unit. We feel our feet as well as the top of our heads. Energies that are truly in tune with us support our soul’s journey to integrate into our physical form more deeply. You can discern what supports the journey of your soul by noticing what helps your body relax, your mind become quiet, and your heart gently open.

In an ideal world, every healing modality holds space so that your soul and your body can connect and integrate with each other. That integration leads to a sense of wholeness, as well as, sometimes, a recognition that there are deeper issues within your life that need to be addressed.

Too often, we turn to healing modalities that reflect our desire to continue to function as we have been functioning, but without reaping the detrimental results of how we are functioning. I call these functional modalities of healing. The symptom is relieved but the underlying cause is not addressed. This mode of healing, and I say this in a joking manner, is like using healing sessions as if they were coffee: after each healing session we are full of temporary energy that allows us to push through our life. As long as we continue to receive functional modality healings, we can continue to behave in whatever manner got us into needing the healing.

These sorts of functional healing modalities don’t help us feel the true need of the body or soul. They simply help us continue to do whatever got us into the situation in the first place. Oftentimes we choose to remain doing what we are doing in order to make our own personality as well as the personalities of people around us happy. But this keeps us doing what we really don’t need to be doing, and it pulls us off the trajectory of our true soul’s journey.

I emphasize the back side of chakras because so many of us don’t have an awareness behind us, and the space behind each chakra is where we draw to ourselves guides and angels that support us. For example, the guides and angels in the space behind the naval chakra influence how much of our life-force energy we give to each choice in life

Think of it as the dealer in a poker game. The dealer is the naval chakra and how the cards go is determined by the space behind the naval chakra, each card being, say, a unit of our life force. So owning our naval, having it in tune with us, means that all of our energy goes towards things that our soul wants to explore in this lifetime.

7 Resetting your Pituitary and Pineal GlandsIn our Western culture we’ve been taught to sit in the middle of our head and think. However, our head is often the last part of us that comprehends an idea from Spirit! Spirit usually speaks to us first in our lower body as our gut instinct. That impulse moves from the naval to the heart to the head, and only at that point does that little light bulb go off.

We thank, with great gratitude, all of those guides and angels that have supported us. We recognize that as we change and evolve guides and angels become less in tune with us. We may feel an increasing heaviness when we call upon them directly. This heaviness is a way to remind us to thank and release them. And as we do so, they may continue their journey to wherever they need to be now.8 Reingnite Body’s Connection to Soul Essence within EarthEach physical form has the ability to reignite the connection that it had in the womb and at birth with its own soul’s essence within 1st dimension. Therefore, we thank and release the guides and angels that have tethered us into the Earth, in favor of our natural connection to the very essence of who we are, our soul, and how our soul’s energies naturally nourish our body through our feet, our legs, our lower chakra.A Healing Song: Blessing

9 Releasing Guides, Angels and Sacred SpaceWe thank each guide and angel that has been present, working and supporting you through this meditation. We release the conscious magnified connection to this guide or angel that was invited in, in the beginning of the meditation. Letting your guide or angel step back and relate to you in whatever way is appropriate in your waking or dream state.

I honor that as humans we live in an imperfect world. We came here as Spiritual Beings to engage with this imperfection. We came here in order to have issues to work on so that we could each have ingredients with which our soul could create something unique and special. Without ingredients, you can’t bake a cake. Our souls have each decided to create something here within our shared Earth and each of us is baking our own cake. Whatever our ingredients need to be, they are. I honor that the soul’s journey of creation continues with each one of us to reflect who we are now. And proceeds in the manner that our soul incarnating into our body best desires.
