Transform Your Worries into Victories

This exercise is about changing any worry you have into positive outcomes. It is possible, and it can be done. You can use this exercise anytime, anywhere. It deepens your Imagination, Mindfulness and Harmony. It allows you to have more presence in your body and control over your thoughts and feelings. 

Transformation Box

Imagine a large elaborate box where you put all your worries for transformation. Your emotional energy is being transformed in this box into positive outcomes by the Universe. Send this box away - with the intention of transformation. You can trust. You can relax. Imagine that all your worries have gone into this box. Most of the tension is gone. You feel more soft, more light and bright. You feel more flexible. There is more clear space around you and within you.

The energy that your worries take - is released and transformed into positive outcomes, more and more. Release any uncomfortable feelings and imagine how it would be - to feel truly relaxed - truly at ease - with everything in your life. 

Cosmic Hoover

Now imagine a big cosmic hoover of purple-golden color, beautifully designed. Its large tube with gemstones around is sucking all negative, bad, stuck energy from you. It has an enormous pull. You don’t need to be specific. Just imagine that all energetic, emotional debris is being sucked out of your body, your energy field. Again, feel a subtle, slight shift in you. More light and bright.  

Do the same with your house. See it as if invisible yet dark and heavy debris is pulled away and sucked away from everything in your home, everything is being cleared and uplifted, everything is restored and rejuvenated to its original design of Love & Light. 

You can imagine multiple tubes coming from this cosmic hoover, touching the troublesome areas in your body, energy field, in the rooms and corners of your house, from every object. Imagine this beautiful cleansing process with your inner eyes, feeling it all over your body and energy field. Cosmic hoover is removing all bad, stuck, negative energy inside out, restoring peace, harmony, bliss. Everything is uplifted, cleansed, and more cleared. You feel more calm, more clear, more light and bright. 

Radiant Energy

Imagine now that from the center of every atom in your body and space - a strong wave of powerful and radiant particles is activated. It is filling every fibre of your being with amazing energy of peace, prosperity and bliss. It is immense and intense in a magnificent, positive way. All sparkling around you and within you, creating a strong energy field that is solid, stable and resonant with pure Source of Love & Light. 

You may say: I am grateful that all my worries are transformed into victories. 

Feel how you would feel if you were free from any worries. How would you feel? How would your life feel? Would you not be and feel - lighter, relieved, relaxed, brighter - in your body, mind and soul? 

Imagine and feel this lightness and brightness surrounding you, and filling you up with waves of golden reassurance. A slight whisper: Everything is taken care of. Just relax. Trust. Allow yourself to feel light and bright. 

Dancing Fairies

Hold those feelings and sensations for a moment or two. Breathe with a sigh of relief. It does feel good to be in this position. All worries are gone. Heavy load has been lifted from your shoulders. Imagine how it feels. A great sigh of relief. Inner smile appears. A smile of true and honest happiness. It is as if a light is shining through you and around  you. Beautiful, sparkling light, as if fairies were dancing around with a pure joy, playfulness, ease and innocent grace. 

You feel uplifted, you feel lighter, you feel calm. You are in a restful state. You can easily take a long breath, and exhale. Relax into your wellbeing. It feels so good that you don’t even want to depart from this state. It is not a state of being simply carefree. It is a state of being cared for, and caring about yourself and your life, your life energy, deeply and completely. 

Rest & Relaxation

You are so bright and light that you realize you will not allow any negative sensations to come to your mind - unnoticed. Because you feel brighter, more expanded, more full and whole, you are able to notice any changes in your wellbeing. And whatever you do and need to do, you can do with this lighter and brighter sensation, free from internal tension, free from years of worry. 

Right here, right now you can rebel against all those things that made you feel down, internally. You can focus on how it feels to be at ease. You can handle everything better when you are in a peaceful, trusting state. Light and bright at the core of your being. This heavy cloud of worries has been uplifted from your view, and you can allow yourself to relax. 

Ocean of Peace

Do everything in a relaxed way. Even if you need to speed up, there is a great ocean of peace surrounding you, holding you, clearing the way for you, facilitating your life. Allow this friendly ocean to be of assistance, allow yourself to be carried by its friendly, warm waves of unconditional love. Of trust, serenity and bliss. Your life is supposed to be blissful. This is our only responsibility. How can you make your life more blissful, easy, peaceful - for myself, others and everything around.  

Loving Embrace

While you keep this worry-free state, this expanded state of your consciousness, all the matters that were a heavy load to carry are transformed into positive outcomes, often pleasantly surprising. You will feel more and more as if being carried through life in a loving embrace, in tune with universal life-force, sharing your pure and good feelings, discovering your talents and skills. Everything goes more smoothly, everything is in greater harmony and natural flow. If any uncomfortable feelings occur, put them in the transforming box. Your feelings and perceptions are transformed. Everything becomes more clear, more bright and light. 

 

Shake off that Trauma

 Dr. James Gordon teaches people specific methods on overcoming emotional trauma, based on scientific research. His simple techniques have been helpful to many victims of war, abuse, accidents, street attacks, earthquakes and other cataclysms. 

Here is a slightly modified version of what he recommends: 

1. Get yourself in a safe place, when and where no one will disturb you.
2. Stand up, put your feet and shoulders apart and start shaking your feet, one after another. Start shaking up your legs and then let that move up through your whole body. If you feel a nudge to act like a furious animal, pulling faces, making noises - do. Let your hands go floppy, shake your head, allow yourself to be awkward. Do it for at least two minutes. Let your body shake on your own - after your conscious invitation (your body has a mind of its own, gestures and movement with clear intention help it understand what you are asking for).
3. Pause for a minute. Be aware of your breathing. Notice how you breathe. Simply put your attention to breathing and you may deepen it, making a few sighs on exhale, helping your body to unlock. At the same time, affirm in your mind that you are safe and secure, right now.  
4. Put your favorite, uplifting music on. Invite your body to dance to its rhythm. (I recommend Twist and Shout or other early Beatles songs.). After a while, you may feel like laughing, crying or both at the same time. This is a sign that the frozen emotions that got stuck in your nervous system because of the trauma - are being released. By doing this you're essentially sending a  message to the fear centers in your brain that you are safe to be yourself. This turns on that parasympathetic system. 

People with frozen trauma in their nervous system think they shouldn't be enjoying themselves.  

"When you shut down a difficult emotion you go into a frozen state’ - says Dr. Gordon . "It is a way of protecting yourself against anything similar to a traumatic event. However the emotion gets stuck and it shuts down a range of possible responses. Your whole emotional life becomes limited."  

Understanding Autonomic Nervous System

When we feel unsafe our nervous system has a way to get activated in order to respond to threats. This is the sympathetic nervous system activation. It leads to physiological changes in the body with the 'fight-flight-freeze' automatic behaviour.   

Our nervous system also has a natural ability to calm down. This is called the parasympathetic nervous system response. It slows things down, and it helps the body to return to a state of calm, safety, nurture, and healing. It is called 'rest and digest' state, or 'feed and breed' - for our cells - they get the signal to function properly and maintain wellbeing or recover from stress. It slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, loosens muscles, especially around the eyes and strengthens the immune system. I also call this state 'recover and discover' as we are more willing to be playful, to be interested in things in a peaceful manner. 

   

Both of these states are crucial in our lives, but what has been missing is the balance between the two. We are used to living more in the tense 'state of fight-flight-freeze' rather than in the relaxed state of 'rest and digest'.  And the part of our nervous  system that we use the most becomes the strongest. 

  

Healthy nervous system alternates between those two states easily. It goes through a cycle of activation - being alert, getting motivated, performing a task, dealing with challenges. Then it should switch to relaxation mode - taking a break, shaking off the stress, mind and body relaxation, rejuvenating walk, exercise or bath, refreshing meal, healthy sleep. 

What is more important - a healthy nervous system tends to spend more time in the calm state than it does in the activated state. 

 

Peter Levine, an American psychotherapist, and the creator of somatic therapy, explains this process using an example of a polar bear, peacefully doing its thing. Suddenly a group of researchers chase him down with a helicopter and shoot him with a tranquilliser dart. We can imagine this must have been really stressful for the bear, and he was lying down helplessly while the researchers were examining him.

The bear had experienced a traumatic event, perceived as a threat. However, after the researchers left and the tranquilliser diminished from his bloodstream, he started to shake violently. His whole body was shaking for a few seconds or minutes. It was his nervous system's natural response to burn off the excess stress - the adrenaline that surged through his body when he was trapped. 

So after shaking for a while, the bear walks off almost as if nothing happened to him, with no visual effects from the sudden experience. He returns to a natural state of calm and wandering around.   

This switch between two parts of our autonomic nervous system is important for emotional release from the body. Otherwise the tension the emotion has caused gets stuck in the body. 

So, we should be in a peaceful and calm state, most of the time. We go on alert, to get things done efficiently, when things need to be done. Then we calm down, rest, and play. Some of our daily tasks can be playful, they do not require special effort.  

If there has been a lot of effort involved, psychological or physical, then afterwards we should shake it off. In humans a healthy response to emotional overload is laughing, crying, exercising, running, eating. In unhealthy response this will be over-eating, drinking, numbing ourselves further with workaholism, shopoholism, or being more and more aggressive. 

As we humans are different from other mammals, having this huge cortex in our brains, the thinking part that helps us to plan, think things through, have self-control,  it often gets in the way of the natural response. 

We think it is too embarrassing to act like a child for a while. Our mind and social conditioning avoids these raw, untamed emotions, as they interfere with our image of being serious adults. So emotional stress gets trapped in the body, in the muscles and organs. We carry them around with us, and our hormones get out of balance.

We try not to think about them, and not to feel them, we try to cope with stress, but our inner body holds the tension. This disallows us to be fully conscious, to have a clear mind and a light, buoyant body. We become nervous, withdrawn, scattered,  shy, make mistakes, and make wrong decisions. 

New emerging somatic psychology and other alternative therapies point to a Tension and Trauma Release exercises where 'stuck from the past' emotions can be finally processed and released from the body. Those emotions are like a deep grief, shame, guilt, fear that we often cannot explain. Some memories may emerge but it is not often the case. 

Intentional physical activity is a powerful tool at resetting our nervous system and healing anxiety, releasing tension and trauma. For example, yoga has been shown to be a more effective treatment for PTSD than most prescribed medications. Those treatments also include acupressure, massage, dancing, deep and slow breathing. What all those things are doing is rebalancing the nervous system, putting it in a natural order, more and more.   

After some time of practising a special set of exercises there is a growing sense of lightness and natural joy. People often feel like a new, freshly born person, very different from what they used to be. Their posture, expression and demeanour changes, they glow and radiate with positive energy, are more creative, have authentic self-esteem, relationships improve.

Unresolved trauma or chronic stress can leave us trapped in the sympathetic response for a long time. This causes imbalance in the nervous system. It gets stuck in high levels of stress, rarely going towards calm and rest. It's like the thermostat that gets turned up, gets overheated, and it may blow or switch off (freeze) when things are too overpowering. 

The sympathetic nervous system takes over, and we may feel constantly anxious,  may see danger or threat everywhere, and find it very difficult to relax. This leads to feeling fatigued, exhausted, depressed. We often go into the high alert mode unconsciously, with outbursts of anger or trashing with rage, and this leads to being stuck in the mad cycle forever. 

It is also not healthy to be on high alert all day long, and then collapse at home or to  rely on occasional relaxation to recharge. We need to learn how to regulate our nervous system throughout the day, also.

 

How to switch that parasympathetic, calming response? How to re-learn to have balanced nervous system, throughout the day? 

Doing short breaks is of vital importance. Simply switch off, and stop what you are doing. Stop thinking, start feeling inner sensations. Turn your attention towards your inner body. 

After a while, do simple body based exercises:  

- a few deep breaths

- tensing and then softening muscles

- twisting, stretching, jumping

- shaking off

Our nervous system has an ability to change and grow depending on how we use it. 

We can influence our chemical balance, electrical activity, physical structure and genes. Learn to have this influence on your nervous system. Train it to activate when you need to wake up, perform tasks, and calm down and rest, being idle, when it's time to relax, restore, rejuvenate, repair and rest. We can train our brain to feel good and safe, and thrive, instead of being constantly in the mode of mere survival.

Parasites and Mental Health

When I read, in the early 1990s, the sci-fi book Mind Parasites by Collin Wilson, an English modern philosopher, little I know how this subject will be such a significant undercurrent of my life. These were my first concepts of esoterism - a sort of fantasy that I liked to engage with. 

Mind Parasites editions, by Collin Wilson

There are many examples in literature and films of a hidden danger, an unseen invasion of a parasitic entities that affects the human mind / brain and thus our whole behaviour.  One of the best films - in my opinion - is the Dreamcatcher, based on the novel by Stephen King. It portrays perfectly how the alien slimy invader / predator functions, after entering the body and psyche of one of the characters. It all goes down to a very strange internal dialogue. 

Bearing in mind that we all have 'an internal dialogue' or 'constant internal chatter' - in an unsettled mind - with many conflicting ideas and opinions, mostly critical and negative - it raises the question where this internal activity of thought-forms comes from?

Dreamcatcher has a profound plot and ending

Coming back to Wilson's Mind Parasites, here are a few insightful comment on the subject, from the linked website, Reality Studio:

Colin Wilson comes closest to understanding what Carlos Castaneda called our energy predator which gives us what he called the foreign installation, which is what we call our internal dialogue. The internal dialogue is what controls us and keeps us in a low state of awareness since the energy predator feeds on our emotions — favoring fear, doubt, depression, negative emotions, obsession, compulsion, and most of all self-importance (self importance and self pity are two sides of the same coin). We unfortunately consider this our mind. The energy predator consumes our outer luminous shell of awareness down to toe level. Once we become aware of this predator, we can free ourselves from it. Wilson really got this. Once we’re aware that we are being parasitized, we can free ourselves and enlarge our perception.

I believe the ‘bogey man’ that young children see at a certain age are the predator attaching the “foreign installation.” They give us their minds – a back and forth energy – and with it duality.

Edgar Allan Poe was the first writer to describe an earworm, or brainworm, which are early forms of word/language viruses, and can be extremely destructive. 

The 'bogey man' that scares children - in the night and dark - is something that we can relate to as demonic entities of the folklore and religion that invoke, first and foremost - fear. There have always been a vast array of rituals to ward off evil, in every culture. People always instinctively have felt there is something lurking on and around, something that can take possession of a human mind and body, and cause severe damage, distortion and destruction, and thus - a lot of suffering. 

Boogeyman - dark, damp, dump, dumb and damn,
another character in Stephen King's early book

Up until now the concept of mind parasites and evil spirits have been present in legends, science fiction, esoteric and spiritual knowledge - which for many is mambo-jambo - a mere fantasy. It has not been taken into consideration by the majority of the population, apart from 'zombie movies' attracting mass attention. 

As an enthusiast of naturopaty, history, philosophy and many other subjects, I have come to understanding that those old rituals were a primitive forms of cleansing the bad air and space from germs, mould and viruses - in their physical form. Burning herbs or incense does do that, to some extent 

***

Yet - we have discovered germs, and know how to handle them, how to live a protective and hygienic life - so why is there an increase of mental health disturbances ? It all comes down to stress and trauma - they say. True, but why stress and trauma are so omnipresent? Why do we behave the way we do - that we do not really like, sometimes or oftentimes? Why is it so hard to crack old bad habits and install new ones? Why is it so tough, harsh and extremely difficult to be the best version of yourself - at least most of the time if not all the time? Is it the way it should be? 

This all may change, if the new scientific data will become more widely published,  acknowledged, and fully embraced - if we all be able to connect the dots on a very deep and wide level of our understanding. Because all those concepts of dark entities invading human bodies and minds actually come to be true.

***

Here is one of the breakthrough research studies on: 

Negative Effects of Latent Toxoplasmosis on Mental Health. 

Only recently science has taken similar topics on board. There is more to be researched and scientifically proven, yet it clearly states that this kind of parasite can be a cause for many behaviours related to chronic anxiety and many complex difficulties in living a healthy social life (schizophrenia, ADHD, autism, depression and many others).

If you can digest a bit of conspiracy aura, this video may bring more food for thought, and hopefully this will be a healthy, organic food for your mind: 

The Demonic Parasite Presentation

In summary, this video explains in a very cognitive way, how physiological parasites control our needs, behaviour, thoughts, decisions etc. 

They get what they want, not what we want. 

Not what we would choose - if being in a 'sane mind' ('sane' as in sanitary - clean - of any parasites or bacteria), if we would be aware of our choices and have conscious control over them. One of the most vivid examples is how the parasites make a person want to look sexy - in order to have sex with a stranger and spread itself to another person. 

Some medical doctors also, since recently, talk about how yeast fungus in our bodies makes us crave for carbohydrates and sugars. What damage it causes not only to our internal organs but also to our mental processes is becoming more and more obvious. We have this rush of energy, and become sluggish, fatigued, zombie-like, for a few hours. Then the procedure repeats, keeping us in a low mood, low energy levels. Something eats our energy out. 

I have also recently encountered a few ideas that take the topic further into explaining the state of affairs with 'our' 'parasites'. Dolores Cannon, a well known hypnotherapist, of whom I was sceptic for many years, but become somewhat more attuned to, describes an event in the far past of the Earth, when a comet supposedly struck its surface and brought alien types of germs, viruses and so-the-likes. This relates to the myth of the Pandora box, from which many calamities crawled out to make life on Earth more miserable for humans. 

From different, unrelated to each other, sources - I gathered - that Earth is in some state of 'quarantine', since time immemorial, or since our knowledge of history and prehistory is reaching from - because of this 'infection'. 

A canon of Dolores' many books

This infection not only comes to the human body and mind - most of the living creatures are 'hosts' to those entities (cats - in the case of toxoplasmosis, for example). Our environment is infested with those invisible beings, and some quite visible - all those pests that eat our crops and damage it in so many ways, so we dont get healthy food we need, to combat the mind parasites. Think slugs as one of them, and a perfect example, a symbol really, a point of reference and analogy - of how this thing work - to make us sluggish - in thinking, feeling and behaviour. To make us hate ourselves and/or each other.

Another author that deals with the problem is Paul Levy and his book series on Wetiko - the mind parasites. He takes the subject out of sci-fi and shows it as real as it can be, and how to deal with it. 

The most important 'take', is to be aware of what many advanced human beings have said over the decades and centuries - you are not your thoughts, concepts, opinions, beliefs, convictions etc. To put it another way round - what we used to perceive as 'our thoughts' - is not ours. 

Thoughts come from the subconscious mind, that has been hijacked by parasites living in our bodies. Not some phantomnable creature, a real physical one. If a person has a lot of negative thoughts, over time they translate to emotions and disruptive behaviour. A person becomes basically 'possessed' and 'obsessed with something' - as in demonic possession.  

Mind-boggling, disturbing and healing - how the mind parasites infect the mind - a psycho-spiritual theory behind human suffering 

It is also worth mentioning where the term 'hell' comes from in Christianity. It was a place, called Gehenna, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, where all the filth was gathered. So hell is a place where all imaginable and unimaginable filth gathers and spreads from, bringing diseases. This is why Christ was performing healing, but also talked about the necessity of purity of the Soul, of clear conscience and consciousness. 

It is worth bearing in mind that not only people in victim-consciousness are subject to parasiting their minds, but also those of predatory mind - those who bear the narcissistic syndrome, of which I put some notes here. 

***

Examining your mind and observing every thought, every concept that comes is of course very difficult. That is the insidious trick of the parasites affecting our minds. This is why mindfulness, meditation and contemplation are suggested - to look into oneself, to see what the mind really contains. Yet very few of us have time to do it, or are unable because there is a rush of negativity that we tend to identify with. 

This is where controlling our diet first, and taking real care of our bodies can bring more strength and clarity to dismantle the parasitic constructions, piece by piece. 

Herbs are always helpful, especially ginger and other strong antiinflmmatory, antiparasitic plants. Also fasting - to start getting rid of the eggs and other parasitic residue. 

Once we know that there might be an issue with our thinking process - we automatically turn our attention to it. Basically, every negative, disruptive thought is infected. We can choose to consciously think more uplifting ones, and when a mocking and scoffing internal voice comes up - we may be sure this is of not our origin. It may seem very daunting, a path for very few brave souls. But Earth and the human mind need a very good and reliable cleaning and disinfecting service. More than ever.   

We were supposed to live in a paradise. We ended up with parasites. 

Now is the time to unravel the implications and correct the mistake. Purifying oneself on the level of the body, emotions and mind - as much as possible - is of vital importance. And we are not alone in this process. 

Pendulum Dowsing

Dowsing is an ancient form of accessing information beyond the intellect and conditioned mind. It is also a tool to develop subtle abilities such as intuition, insight, oneness, intention and focus. 

How does it work? Pendulum dowsing can connect us to the collective unconscious, bypassing our mind (and our conscious and unconscious desires) through the tiny nerves in our fingertips that have access to parts of the brain that are connected to the collective unconscious. 

The ‘collective unconscious’ (Akashic Records) is where all memory is stored and where all the probabilities are present. Our intention to draw specific information causes the tiny nerves in our fingertips to react and thus move the pendulum. This is called the ideomotor response. 

One has to agree that our nervous system has access far beyond our daily mind and thinking. It is a vast array of connections and interconnections, and if we see a brain as a hologram of a larger structure, we can comprehend how this works. 

For example - we know that our subconscious and unconscious can store the tiniest details of a street that we have walked only once, years ago, and present it under the hypnotic state accordingly - to which our conscious mind has no direct access. 

Thus, a pendulum can be used as a tool and direct link to our personal or collective unconscious - with those hidden truths and memories. Using a pendulum this way is called pendulum dowsing-- to find information.

This of course requires a trained, calm mind, where there is no superficial interference of random thoughts. Practising dowsing allows us to reach a deeper level of intuition. Pendulum can be seen as an assistive tool in gaining much more subtle skills as well as exploring our hidden potential.

This is an introduction to a book Pendulum Dowsing - a real tool to unlock your mind  

Sound Healing Frequencies - Hz

Sound has very healing properties. 

We all know that music has a deep effect on us. However, if we are talking about the healing side of sound we need to stop thinking in terms of entertainment. Pure frequencies have a variety of benefits on a real neurobiological level.

One of the primary purposes of sound therapy is to help ease many mental health conditions such as anxiety, stress, and depression.

Healing sound frequencies work by creating a steady rhythm or pitch that helps to change the brain waves and reach for a new neural pathways in our nervous system. Those activated pathways intrinsically connect us to a sense of calm and well being and improve our resilience to stress. 

Because it increases and strengthens our ability to relax - an ability that many of us have lost - it connects us to our feelings that promote harmony, calm, peacefulness, and with practice - feeling of inner bliss - a natural internal joy. 

It is one of the most easy and effective self-soothing techniques. Some people prefer a green sound - the sounds of nature - like rain, ocean waves or forest birds. Other people may prefer not to refer to any particular tones in nature or instruments but simply a steady sound that does not bring to mind any images. 

Daniel Bowling, PhD, a neuroscientist from Stanford School of Medicine, had studied the biological foundations of music for more than a decade. He finalised his research by saying: Anyone who has ever felt moved by music should take it seriously and actively seek out ways in which music and sound can improve their condition.

Brain Waves

Our brain is constantly performing many processes including thinking, focus, memory, and much more. During these activities brain cells produce rhythms called brain waves. 

When we go to bed and read for a few minutes before attempting sleep, we are likely to be in low beta. When we put the book down, turn off the lights and close our eyes, our brainwaves will descend to alpha and theta and finally, when we fall asleep, to delta.

Delta frequency (0.5 to 4 Hz),

Delta waves are high amplitude neural oscillations with a frequency between 0.5 and 4 hertz and are typically associated with brain activity when we sleep. They found to be helpful in soothing dementia. 

Theta frequency (4-8 Hz)

Demonstrating promising results for treating anxiety.  This brain state has shown the ability to promote a feeling of overall well-being among study participants.

Schumann frequency (7.8 Hz) 

It correlates with our brain when it is in the 'zone' state. It it can benefit in an office setting. 

Alpha frequency (8 to 12 Hz)

Our brain is producing alpha waves when we are in a restful yet awake state, when we are experiencing the “flow state”, a calm focus, creatively engaged in the present moment.

Beta frequency (12 to 30 Hz)

They are produced in an awaken state of mind and logical thinking. Have a stimulating effect which allows us to do everyday tasks. 

Gamma frequency (30 to 100 Hz)

They mainly occur when you’re highly alert and conscious. High levels of gamma waves make us happier and more receptive and improve concentration and working memory.

Low levels of gamma waves may develop cognitive problems, lower attention span, and mental abilities. They can lead to learning disabilities and mental disorders.

All those above Gamma frequencies are said to have an extra positive influence on our nervous system. Humans can hear the frequencies between about 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

***

The suggested listening time of the below frequencies is a minimum of 15 minutes a day. You can do it any time of the day, even while you are doing something, but the best experience is to sit down in a meditative state. Allow the sound to be immersed in you and harmonised from within.

Doing a quiet humming voice on your own to resonate with a particular frequency enhances its benefits. 

110 Hz

While we can hear in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, the most essential sounds we pay attention to are in the range of the human voice. which is around 110-111.  Many ancient and prehistoric temples were built to facilitate sounds in this frequency range.

EEG test results have shown this frequency activates the right hemisphere of the brain, responsible for the creative and intuitive aspects.  It also calms the language  centres of the brain, which lessens mental chatter and facilitates 'inner silence'. It helps to lower down the negative thought-loops. 

A pilot study examined the effects of 110 Hz on the brain and found that listening to this frequency caused an increase in prefrontal lobe activity that may aid in emotional processing while promoting relaxation. 

This frequency activates a self-restoration and regeneration mode of our nervous system. 110 - 111 Hz calms the amygdala - the main signaler of fight-flight-freeze automatic response. 

'Angelic' frequencies:

They are usually refereed to the repeating digits, but all of the high frequencies have very high vibrations and angelic-like qualities of patience, harmony, compassion, higher understanding and perspective. It is difficult to pinpoint their meaning and benefits, and it is best to experience them on your own.

111 Hz

Well known in the sound therapy community as a frequency that facilitates cellular rejuvenation. It is also the frequency difference between each of the Solfeggio tones in order. 

Associated with the production of endorphins, hormones that elevate the mood. It can increase feelings of well-being and empathy, improves focus and memory, enhances spiritual experiences, clarity and trust.

222 Hz

This frequency helps to bring balance, harmony, and peace, especially in relationships.

333 Hz 

Associated with healing, guidance and spiritual growth, helps to connect with spiritual energies, ascended masters, higher inner wisdom.

It is said to recalibrate our DNA, opening to a new state of consciousness, cleanse and reprogram our mind, transforming us into a new person. It exposes us to a new way of life – from a higher point, more generous, kind, naturally loving, living in high vibrations. 

 

It amplifies our thoughts and feelings, allows to express ourselves joyfully and positively in the world, while emanating and attracting happiness. 

444 Hz

This frequency is associated with the angelic realm and is believed to help individuals connect with the energies of the angels and receive their divine guidance. It helps to turn our ideas into reality. 

999 Hz

According to Tesla’s beliefs, 999 Hz is associated with spiritual awakening, divine connection, and transformation.

It is thought to help individuals connect with their inner wisdom, access higher states of consciousness, and facilitate personal growth and transformation.

OTTO frequencies

The most popular tuning forks are the Otto series. They derived their frequency from Earth, called the Schumann Resonance (SR), which, at its fundamental level, is 8 Hz (precisely 7.83 Hz). 

Schumann Resonance is an electromagnetic resonance produced by lightning - thunderstorms activity in Earth's atmosphere, ranging from 3 Hz through 60 Hz. The resonance modes are spaced between 6.5 Hz intervals, attributed to the spherical geometry of the Earth atmosphere. To detect Schumann resonances special antennas are needed.  8 Hz and 16 Hz are not picked up by our ears.  The first Otto frequency we can hear is 32 Hz - an octavised 8 Hz. 

Why the name 'Otto'? Otto means “eight” in Italian. The number has been considered  in many cultures auspicious, and signifies eternity, an eternally reproducing pattern. In German it is a male name meaning “ rich”, and the German physicist who discovered the Shumann Resonance was Winfried Otto Schumann. 

Some derive the name from the osteophonic 'weighted' tuning forks, that make a wonderful resonance while placed upon any bone structure in the human body.  

The most popular in osteophonic healing (osteo from Latin means bone) are a set of three: 

Otto 32, Otto 64 and Otto 128 

or

Otto 128, Otto 256 and Otto 512

Medical doctors use 128 Hz and 512 Hz tuning forks to test a patient's hearing. 

OTTO Octave series: 

0-1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512-1024-2048-4096-8192-16384-32768

128 Hz

This frequency is regarded as the Master Tuning for healing sound frequencies and one of the most common. It induces grounding, calming the senses, loosening and smoothing nervous, muscle and fascia tension, coming back to yourself, regaining strength, courage, confidence, safety and trust.  

Within the Otto configuration it corresponds to the root of the scale, and in the physical body the areas below the navel and in the pelvis. It has strong emotional significance, and can be seen as a gift opening access to Natural Tuning. It brings the body into the natural basic vibration, a homeostasis.

Maria Renold wrote a whole book upon her research Of Intervals, Scales, Tones and the Concert Pitch C = 128 Hertz  dedicated to this frequency. Rudolf Steiner called this frequency a prime note. 

It is the standard pitch of universal music, the pure tuning model. It can create a mood that not only allows us to walk on this Earth in a more confident way but also allows us to tune into cosmic / spiritual dimensions. 

 

Healing effect and benefits may include: reduction of pain in bones and muscles, balancing hormones, fluid flow, increased mobility and vitality.

Especially helpful on and around stiff or painful joints.

The combination with 256 Hz and 512 Hz creates a resonance that can break up stuck energy. This can be done on a person's biofield, moving slowly towards the body, from 2-3 metres, starting with lower 128 Hz around the pelvis region.

Use 256 Hz around the chest/heart region, and 512 Hz tuning fork around the head.

369 Hz

It is said, Nikola Tesla believed in the significance of the numbers 3, 6, 9, as being related to a 'universal vibrational frequency'.

By understanding the use of these numbers, we can unlock the secrets of life and tap into the pool of life's infinite energy and potential.

432 Hz

Some sound theorists and musicians claim that the 432 Hz tuning has better effects on the human body, than the acknowledged 440 Hz. 

It promotes a state of relaxation and calmness, reduces mental fog and increases concentration. Others believe it can help attract luck, money, wealth and health. It is said to be the same as the vibrational frequency of the Earth, the Sun, and even our DNA. 

It resonates inside our body, releases emotional blockages and expands our consciousness, allowing us to tune into the wisdom of the Universe. 

For some listeners, the benefits of 432 Hz music go beyond an experience of physical relaxation and emotional well-being as it can alleviate chronic pain and other physical symptoms.

528 Hz

It reduces oxidative stress in brain tissue. Prolonged exposure to this sound frequency reduces anxiety and increases testosterone which promotes healthy action. 

It can assist in internal healing. It stimulates the body on a cellular level  encouraging regeneration and well being.

It is also known as a Love frequency. It can improve your mood, attract positive thinking and feeling, which resonates with higher vibrations. 

636 Hz

Frequencies over 636 Hz resonate with internal feeling of well-being as they tap into the subconscious, evoking positive physiological, emotional and mental responses.

It slows down breathing and heart rate and lowers blood pressure. Deepens sense of connection to a larger whole, inspires reverence, awe and appreciation. Enhances inspiration and creativity. Fosters feelings of natural joy, meditation and stillness. 

It also elevates the vibration of a room by decreasing stress mode and increasing serenity.

936 Hz 

Associated with deeper healing and spiritual growth.

It is not a part of the traditional solfeggio frequencies but has gained attention among the proponents of sound healing and alternative therapies.

Often referred to as the Third Eye Chakra frequency, it is believed to stimulate and activate our intuition, insight, and spiritual awareness.

1074 Hz 

The “Spiritual Frequency”

This high pitch frequency once again helps with spiritual growth and awareness, enhance intuition, and improve communication with higher consciousness, deepening understanding of life.

1174 Hz 

The “Balance Frequency”

A higher alternative of the 528 Hz frequency helps to balance energy centres in the body, promote mental clarity and alertness, and enhance creativity and productivity.

1152 Hz 

Helpful for spiritual purification and to help us access higher spiritual realms. It is said to help release negative thoughts and emotions, allowing us to see the world in a more positive light.

2172 Hz 

Less known solfeggio frequency and it is related to spiritual enlightenment, transcendence and ascension.

Some sources suggest that this frequency helps in the spiritual awakening process, allowing us to connect with higher spiritual realms and to access a greater understanding of the universe.

4096 Hz

It completely clears the quartz crystals from any earlier programming and influences.

Planetary Tuning Forks

Tuning forks were invented in 1711 by John Shore, English trumpet player in the orchestra of Friedrich Haendel, the orchestra of Queen's Anne and a member of king Georges I royal band. 

The frequencies of the planetary tuning forks use calculations made by astronomer Hans Cousto, presented in The Cosmic Octave. They have been played by classical musicians and used in music therapy.

With the tuning forks we can tune musical instruments and also ourselves.  

While holding the base of the stem of the vibrating tuning fork over our bodies we can feel a subtle energy moving in and around us. It has a profound calming effect. 

We can also choose an acupressure point or tapping point. The vibration travels through the whole meridian, and activates it or ublocks it. This may have a stimulating effect.

The acupressure points in this therapy run through Conception Vessel (Yin) meridian and Governing Vessel (Yang) meridian in the midline of the torso, front and back, forming a circular loop. They hold our whole posture together and initiate our innate abilities and predispositions that come from the mother and father ancestral lines. They carry the ancestral Qi (subtle energy) that affects our consciousness and our DNA.

According to ancient Chinese medicine, the Conception Vessel runs from the bottom of the pubic bone to the bottom of the lower lip. It is also called Sea of Qi/Yin, storing, nourishing and carrying all the 'yin' fluids (blood, lymph, deeper tissue).

 

The Governing Vessel meridian, starts at the top of the upper lip and runs vertically through the center of the head and down the spine. It is also called the Sea of Yang, and moves the 'yang' energy within the body, controlling all meridians, and influences our will power.

Those meridians and their points correspond with the chakra system and nervous system. During the planetary tuning fork session both lines are soothed and activated, bringing more balance (homeostasis) within the mind-body-soul system. It also reminds us that we are a part of a larger unit of the Cosmos, linking us directly to the Earth and Solar System cycles.  

A combination with colour therapy multiplies the effects during the tuning fork session.

194.18 Hz

Synodic Day - Root Chakra

The word "synod" means coming together. The tone 'G' with 194.18 Hz is the 24th octave of one Earth day. That means the tuning fork oscillates 194.18 times per second back and forth. If we duplicate this vibration at 24 octave lower, the tuning fork would need exactly one day to oscillate back and forth. Corresponding to the 'G' there is the colour orange-red with a wavelength of 700 nanometers.

This frequency tunes to the weather system, the Earth atmosphere, as well as to the molecular level of proteins in our bodies. It brings us into greater harmony with ourselves and Nature. 

It is advised to press this tuning fork to the coccyx, the lowest point of the spine, and and the top of the pubic bone, corresponding with the first chakra. Stimulation of these points with Synodic Day tone gives energy and kindles its 'fire'. The body gets stimulated, we may feel more alive, dynamic, active, even aroused.  

It is especially suitable in the mornings, for dynamic meditations relating to body movement awareness and dance. It is recommended to visualise lively red-orange colours. 

210.42 Hz 

Synodic Month - Sacral Chakra

The synodic month is the duration of one lunar phase - from new moon to new moon, or from full moon to full moon. It is variable. The calculated average is about 29.53 days. It is called a synodic month, where from the months in our calendar originate.

In the 29th octave the Moon oscillates with 210.42 Hz, wich is a G#. The corresponding colour is an orange with a wavelength of about 650 Nanometer.

This frequency stimulates deeply sensual energy. Especially good for women as it regulates the period, glands and hormones, and lymphatic system.

The water ebbs and flows, the seasons and sexual activity of many species are directed by the Moon. Moon and fertility cycles are closely related. Great festivals in many cultures have been celebrated at Full Moon. 

Many acupressure points can be treated with the tone of the Synodic Month. They are located around the lower back and abdomen. The main point is called Hara, three finger widths under the navel.

126.22 Hz 

               

Solar System - Solar Plexus

The Sun is the energetic and gravitational center of our Solar System. An imaginary planet that would circle around the center of the Sun within the distance of its gravitational length and with approximation to light speed would do that about 32000 times in a second. The corresponding colour is yellow to bright green - with a wavelength of 540 Nanometer.

Called a “Vibration of Life”, this frequency acts as a powerful energy, giving a sense of centring, alignment, transcendence, and magical ability. It enhances the feeling of willpower and focus. It also activates joy, strength, sense of triumph, ease and regeneration. 

 

It relates to the area called Solar Plexus, where the stomach is, bordering between Yin and Yang energies, harmonising them, and bringing balance. Press the middle back points and the bottom bones of the rib cage. It gives a sense of expansion after releasing blocked energy, which initially may be expressed as anger, resentment, pain or fear. 

The Solar System tone is very strong, and is best used after having worked with all the other tones, and for advanced practitioners. It has a multidimensional character and we may experience being catapulted into new fields of existence, beyond space and time, to a state where all-is-one, and one-is-all, and the power that stems from it. 

This can be an overpowering experience, hence the upper three chakras tend to tone down and direct this energy in a more compassionate, reasonable and spiritually active manner. 

136.10 Hz 

Earth Year - Heart Gateway

The base of this tone is the rotation of the Earth around the Sun. The frequency is tone C with 136.10 Hz in the 32nd octave. The corresponding colour is a light green turquoise, a wavelength of about 500 Nanometres. This is the second cosmic rhythm of our planet. As the frequency of the day influences the body, the frequency of the year is said to influence the soul.

Indian sitar music, most sacred temple music, and mantra OM is tuned to this tone. It refers to the Tao and "Amen" in Christian churches, which means "so be it" or 'let it be so'.  

Meditating with this tone has a calming, sedative, relaxing and balancing effect.

'Letting yourself be' uncovers the power that lies within it.

Press the tuning fork against the breastbone and on the back, on the dorsal vertebrae of the spine. It relates the Heart Chakra.

You can feel the thorax vibrating, having a wonderful relaxing quality. It is easy to start humming oneself to attune to the tone and enhance the effect. Slowly, the whole body becomes the tone, and it calms the soul and restores emotional balance.

By this we bring ourselves into harmony with the Tao, and cosmic Om. We become much more receptive in a delicate, pleasant way.

In Medicine this tone is used for sedation, relieving stress and muscle spasm. It has also proved effective for migraines and headaches. Recommended for nervousness irritation, and restlessness. Regular practice with this tone may decrease the need for sedatives.

141.27 Hz 

                       

Mercury Cycle - Mental Plane

Mercury rotation around the Sun lasts about 88 days. Its tone oscillates in the 30th octave with 141.27 Hz. This tone is a C. The corresponding colour is blue with a wavelength of about 480 Nanometers.

Mercury is connected with mental activity, intellect, communication, verbalisation of ideas. Improves communication on all levels, supports the speech center, elevates the mind beyond the parasitic low frequencies. It strengthens our expression, persuasion and creativity. It resonates with the frequency of higher Intelligence. Attunes our mind to higher Reason. 

We can forget about the 'Mercury in retrograde syndrome' while using this tone regularly during the retrograde period of this planet, which often brings a lot of confusion.

Acupressure points are on the shoulder and neck area. Reliefs tense shoulders and neck.

This tuning fork vibrates longer and louder and is and is preferred by many therapists. Particularly suitable for group work. 

The tones of the planets are heliocentric tones and they have less influence for the  physical life on the Earth than the oscillation of our own planet and that of the Moon. However their subtle energies are linked to a higher consciousness that allows  humans not to be mere 'animals'. 

221.23 Hz

Venus Cycle - Third Eye

Venus is the second inner planet of our solar system and its rotation around the Sun lasts about 225 days. The color is indigo-blue-purple-rose. Supports higher love energy, empathy, sensitivity, creativity, imagination, inspiration, vision and intuition.

Hold this tuning fork on the forehead where Third Eye is to let in a greater flow of love energy. It can help open the sixth sense with peace & harmony in our inner mind.

172.06 Hz 

                    

Earth Precession Cycle - Crown Chakra

This tone is the 48th octave of the precession of the Earth's axis, a rotation that lasts around 26000 years., which is also called a Platonic Year. The tone is F with 172.06 Hz and the corresponding colour is purple with a wavelength of about 400 Nanometer. F is the tone of the spirit. In ancient China it was the fundamental tone  of great importance. 

Acupressure to the Crown Chakra, the central point at the top of the head activates connection to the spiritual realm of higher love and joy, clarity and purity, and divine inspiration, raising our consciousness to the level of cosmic unity. 

What is Your Character?

 What is Your Character?

In terms of biology, it is a connection of neurological pathways that run in our brain and nervous system in a specific and unique way. 

All our experiences, memories, beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, emotions, feelings, sensations, intuitions create a very complex biological and electromagnetic structure that is unique to every person. 

How we see ourselves (self image), how we interact with the world, how happy or unhappy we are able to be, what are our reactions to everyday occurrences - depends on those neurological pathways. 

Our conscious mind is at the tip or ‘surface’ of this very complex structure. Most of the processes occur in what we call the subconscious or unconscious. This is why it is difficult to change a habit in one wish or command - we need to change a certain neurological pathway that created the pattern (reflected in our behaviour) and build another one. For this we need a persistent and regular practice, a deep emotional changeover (a shock) and/or a session of self-reflection and insight. 

How to Change Our Life for the Better?

Our nervous system remains constantly in a more or less intense tension. We are wired in a certain way that forces us to think, feel, and behave in a certain way. It is often a very narrow set of pathways, that is not open to other experiences. 

If our neurological pathways are ‘narrow and tense’ we experience unease and/or disease. We may also cause a sense of unease in others. Healthy and happy relationships are one of the most important subjects in our life. We don't want to be a burden to others, though very often we unconsciously send 'signals' of tension - and thus others feel 'unease' in our presence. 

To enhance our ability to feel truly happy with ourselves, others and in every corner of our lives - is to first learn to release the tension. Sessions of deep breathing and relaxation techniques allow access to a deeper state of mind, where positive changes can occur more naturally. 

This rebuilds our neurological pathways - switching off those that cause us suffering, misbehaviour, misfortune - to those that are more in alignment with our true sense of Self - and true sense of health and happiness.

Because the old neurological pathways had been created a long time ago, due to certain events in our life or recurring experiences - it can initially be a difficult process. Old pathways are deeply rooted in our nervous system. Old habits die hard. 

To change them we need a clear and solid motivation and intention. We will not change if we don’t know why we want to change or what we want to change. 

Our life will not change, if we ourselves do not change, if we stick to the old ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. We cannot expect our life to be better if we do not want to better ourselves - what constitutes our character. 

Also - our life may change in an undesirable way - if we are not fully aware of what we exactly want to represent in this life. We need to explore whether it is only a 'folly fancy' of our lower ego-mind or whether it is with congruence with our higher-spiritual-mind. This often is a journey in itself - of self-discovery. 

A set of personal affirmations which are coherent with both - the ego-mind and the spiritual-mind - is another working tool that will explore and direct these changes in a more comfortable, specific and desirable way.

Attention and Creation

If our attention creates reality - what does it mean in practice? How - and to what -we need to pay attention to? Of course we pay attention to our reality, this is where we are. But our attention has a short life span and it goes from one thought to another, from one task to another, from one object to another. 

We always seek what to pay attention to, we are always in the mode, even if we are trying to unwind. Sometimes we are able to be powerfully focused while doing something totally engaging our senses. But for most of us it is true that we need to train our attention as it is in disrepair and disuse. 

When we start to pay attention to our attention / focus, we notice that there is an external and internal attention / focus. Primarily we need to learn to pay attention to our internal state. This is what mindfulness, meditation is all about - at first. 

With attention disorders, we have difficulties in paying attention not only to what we would rather choose, but also to our internal world - our feelings and sensations. We have difficulties in putting our attention on a single object for longer because we are overwhelmed. 

We may be overwhelmed externally - seeing things that we don’t like, or internally - overthinking and feeling emotions and sensations that are uncomfortable. There is simply too much staff in our attention span and it can’t handle it all at once. We become distracted, unfocused or focused on avoidance and escape - it is when depression may kick in.

And why do some of us experience such overwhelm, while others do well? 

A concept of karma and genetics can help out. We can see karma and genetics that has given us an ability to focus our attention in certain ways. It is to what extent we can more or less easily focus our attention and utilise it in a positive ways. Karma and genetics is something your Soul / your genetic blueprint, wants to overcome/ erase,/ learn/ outgrow/ recapitulate - take it as one word. It shapes the circumstances of our early life. From this our self-image, self-concept grows. Our self-concept, the innermost part of ourselves, shapes the attitude we have towards life and ourselves - and to what and how we put attention to. 

Unfortunately many of us have been taught to see the world as a dangerous and threatening place. Of course, sometimes it is, but not all the time (unless you live in the Game of Thrones world). 

We have been taught to be on guard, vigilant, and almost constantly look out for danger to avoid it. Worrying is one of such states. It becomes instinctive and subconscious. Our attention is automatically focused on what is unpleasant and possibly threatening to our well-being. We never truly relax. This is a state that becomes a threat in itself. 

Learning to relax our overloaded nervous system is of crucial importance. As with learning - it takes time. And we need to see the benefits. They become apparent in the course of time. They become a deeply rooted feeling, a visceral sensation - of inner peace, stillness and subtle joy - when we practice/re-learn/allow our nervous system to find some peaceful space.

When our mind is busy - running errands, catching on to-do lists, checking social media, and if combined with self-doubt and criticism of almost everything and everybody, we are running on a low fuel. We need to detach from it, for a while, at least, and at first. A few moments of practising stillness, every now and then, every day is a huge step (although it may not seem so at first). 

***

When you are going from one task to another, during your day, pause for at least a few seconds. Notice your breathing. Notice where your feet are. Notice how your body feels, without reacting to anything, and without judging anything. Simply observing. If you can add a tint of compassion towards yourself in this moment - it will become extra valuable. 

Whenever you have a small segment of time (and we have plenty of those) - pause. Stop your world. Stop doing. 

Start being. 

Start being aware of yourself. 

Direct your attention on the quiet, on silence, on the space between sounds. 

Even if there are noises around, there is always silence in between. 

Even if there are thoughts in your mind, there is always a place of quiet space. 

Still mind. Body not moving. Breathing in and out rhythmically. 

You don’t need to change your position, be fairly comfortable. 

Simply be. 

If your mind is telling you that you are wasting your time, say - I am practising inner peace. 

This is a valuable piece.  

After a while your body should react with a natural, deep out-breathe, a sigh. This is an important moment and a message telling you that your nervous system is relaxing or ready to relax. Allow to deepen your breath. 

Indeed, in this way we practice to activate different connections in our nervous system. Those connections allow us to unload strains that are overwhelmed. It is quite a mechanical process, but it needs a bit of time to readjust. It needs our attention. 

After a while you notice that your body relaxes more naturally and quickly. You don’t need to force it. It happens by itself. You learn that by putting your attention on inner peace, it happens. You learn to use your attention consciously. This is a starting point of changing your whole life for the better. 

***

In those short moments you can add a few helping things that will confirm and affirm what you are paying attention to. 

Saying the words: Inner Peace (or if this is too forceful, because sometimes it may - say Inner Well-Being). 

Touching gently your head, heart or belly, while saying these words helps to ground this practice even more. 

Doing some quiet humming - makes you more calm. 

Swinging your torso from side to side, slowly - relaxes your inner senses. 

Self-soothing thoughts should come up more naturally, and you are able to notice them and rejoice in them. 

Putting a slight smile on your face always helps. Smile to yourself.

All those little activities help to calm down the nervous system and engage our senses. Our nervous system gets a signal that it is safe and we - as the body - are safe. We learn to trust ourselves. We restore our sense of safety and trust. 

When we practice this for some time we start noticing greater inner peace within our bodies on a regular basis. And only from this state can we learn to put our attention in a more efficient way, and create our life based on true inner peace and well being.

Relaxing Session

In Relaxing Sessions we find the best ways to relax: 

- your body

- your mind 

- your emotions (soul) 

These three parts of ourselves are connected through our incredible nervous system. In simple terms, your nervous system connects every fabric of your physical, mental and emotional part, binds them together, and this creates your character and the character of your life. 

A deep relaxation, in itself, builds a new neurological pathway: your inner system learns or rediscovers how to feel more calm and relaxed, how to feel more safe, how to experience more trust in oneself. 

Through guided meditation and visualisation, and other techniques, we also work on your body awareness to release any tension that can be released - in a gentle way, and to find an even deeper level of inner peace.

We talk about positive changes that are good to implement, becoming more aware of your inner core values, and we work together on a set of unique and personal affirmations that sound true to your inner being. 

Those affirmations, along with a chosen set of mind/body/soul exercises - is what we will end the session with.

With Love and Light

The Importance of Trust

Working with our bodies is essential to restore our internal system to full functionality. 

How do we do it? 

By self-soothing and taking care of the body, paying attention to what and how it feels. Not running away when there are bad feelings or sensations, when the body feels tired and forcing it to do more. 

We stop and we look at it like a loving mother on her disturbed child. We show care, compassion and we caress, touch and hug (yes, you CAN hug yourself) and do whatever feels good and soothing. In this, and only this way - we regain trust. 

Trust is a pivotal point in our existence; it is basically the root of our self-belief and faith. As we practice self-soothing, self-care, self-compassion, self-nurturing - more and more of this internal energy comes up. It is instinctive - it does not understand words (without feelings), so affirmations work only on a very shallow surface-level, if said in a mechanical way.

We need gestures, movement, touch, vibes that will stir the emotions to more smoothness and trust. Our inner being needs a lot of unconditional love and care, and our job is to gain mutual trust. In psychology it is called - re-parentig yourself. 

Our parents have gone through a lot of trauma and they have passed it on us, unconsciously. This inner trust is a key to our coherence, to our integrity, to function in this world in a healthy and whole way, through our whole, not fragmented Self.

***

What happens when a person with emotional trauma wants to connect with the  deeper part of Self - there is pain and suffering so he/she will avoid looking there, at all. 

The person will look outside, to the outside world, grasping, craving for any good feeling, for objects that are supposed to bring those good feelings, disconnecting even more from the Inner Self. It is not pleasant to look into a devil’s den. But there are treasures there, anyway. This is where the hero journey starts. 

But hero can go on a journey when he/she knows what they are doing. They needs to gather some knowledge, a map, and an understanding. 

If we encounter harsh brutal forces of unknown emotions, it feels downright uncomfortable and even dangerous, and we cramp back into our daily life. We first need to comprehend how anchoring our consciousness in higher ethics and values will guide us on this journey. 

Applying self-soothing techniques, discovering and connecting with unconditional love and being good at it, to tame the little raging beast, step by step, with divine patience, to gain, to develop, to discover the inner unshakeable trust. This lower Self needs re-connecting with the Higher Self.

The trust-techniques are in my private session and some are here, in the blog.

The Importance of Dynamic Meditations

What modern society seems to overlook is that we are sitting, most of the time. If your work involves sitting down posture, it is only natural that you feel repelled by sitting down meditation. Your body naturally wants to move and by contracting it to non-movement is an internal struggle. 

Sitting meditations were invented in the society of farmers and warriors, where slowing down your senses which were involved in everyday activities was of great benefit. Those communities also valued ritual dance, and this is another reason why dynamic meditations should be looked at if we want to bring balance to our lives. 

The Western tradition expects us to be composed - all the time. That is why Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi gong, and jogging, fitness are gaining popularity. We need to not only shut down the inner chatter, we need to get in touch with our bodies and stuck emotions that reside there. 

So, again - the meditations techniques were developed where people tend to move around, walk long distances, they move things around, even not so long ago - 30-50 years ago or so, there was much more mobility. 

Now we are glued to a sitting position and we don't want to do sitting meditations because it aggravates us. We also instinctively don't want to follow any protocol because we are following them - almost all the time. 

We need to get intentionally crazy. To get rid of this sticky residue that makes us stuck and unhappy. To smooth out this rumpled and ruffled energies that reside in our bodies, we need to move. Get rid of them, because body awareness is a key factor to our wellbeing. 

This is what dynamic meditations are all about. 

In the morning

Probably the worst thing in the morning to do is to do a disservice to your body when it is supposed to be getting ready for action. Unless your job involves moving, or you tend to go jogging - do not calm it down, by some form of sitting meditation. 

This is the time you want to move and float around and show yourself that you are being active, you are ready for the day, with a good sense of humor. Making yourself ready for the day in a loving, caring, strong and empowering fashion is what this should be all about. 

So we shake off the sleepiness, we take some invigorating breaths, and we move and dance to an energetic, uplifting music (that would not disturb the neighbors). Total free-style. We move our bodies in whatever manner it needs. We learn body awareness.

This is also a perfect time to say aloud your affirmations/confirmations:

Yes, I'm fine, I am ready, I feel my energy. I own my energy. I know what I want, etc. 

Don't do it just for the sake of doing it. Set intentions and focus. Focus on what and who you want to be today. Focus on the best version of yourself, today. 

(I want to be a good parent, I want to do my job to the best of my abilities, I want to embody my love and wealth perfectly, I want to embody my right to be truly happy etc.) 

If you feel spiritual it is good to do some signs of reverence for the Divinity in us. Hands together in the Namaste mudra. Acknowledge that you are a spiritual being having a physical experience. Connect with the Source. 

Of course - to do all this we have to have a certain amount of willingness, an energy on its own, able to change a habit, able to move life energy. 

So for a few days we may feel down because we are using a lot of our own normally available energy to a different pattern of behavior. This is when we give up so easily. It does not bring any good, quite the contrary, so why bother?

If we understand the importance of Who We Are without the Inner Awareness - a simple playtoy in the hands of unconscious forces -  a sorry state - when we understand and comprehend it fully - we will have some power to make external changes, because we know the benefit. 

After some time it becomes our second nature, and we are grateful for putting more attention to the way we WANT to feel and not simply reacting to the outside world. We take the steering wheel of our life in our hands. We gain superpowers.

During the day

Remember - kindness is only good and authentic when we are good and kind to ourselves. First, think about ourselves and treat ourselves in a kind and loving way. Always.

When disturbances occur of whatever origin ( a slow traffic, a quarrel ) let’s shake it off, asap. Don't get yourself into a place where you internally shout at yourself for doing something out of control or stupid. 

Do not also force yourself to remain calm when the body is boiling inside. Patience, with the hurdles of life will come naturally when we get rid of the internal tension. 

So - shake it off, become crazy for a few seconds, do some deep humming or talk nonsense - words in otherworldly language (instead of swearing). More of it below. 

Let’s shake off this quarrel, some not pleasant news. And breathe, intentionally. We do it not only on our behalf but also on others. 

Voice

Humming. We underestimate our voice, and we run an automatic program here, but our voice is a powerful tool. So let's re-learn how to hum. 

When we want to ground ourselves, we do the humming low, when we want to uplift ourselves we hum in high pitch. Try it, and do not judge yourself. Allow yourself to be silly. See how the low pitch is comforting to your body. And if you get an angry hum - let it go out. 

Nonsense talk. Uttering words that are not in our mother tongue is an interesting practice. We let go of our persona and ego for a while and tap into the inner world of an inner child, gurgling and doing strange voices. It is very liberating, and some stuff may go out. Feel what your deeper Self wants to express. 

Acting

Acting is a wonderful way to save your energy, because it releases you from being yourself. We are so serious about being us, all the time, being on guard, not to do anything that is not us, not to do anything stupid and anything off guard. 

So let's pretend we are somebody else, for a minute or two. Just to release the tension of the ego, of clinging so closely to ourselves, of identifying with our thoughts, opinions, habits. 

Let’s pretend for a minute or two that we are somebody else. Animals are a great thing to incorporate. Let’s pretend that you are a dog, a cat, a bear, then a mouse, or any small mammal, an eagle, or a monkey. Pretend you are a servant and then - a lord. 

Quieting down comes naturally after those activities. We don’t need to force ourselves to be calm anymore. It happens on its own. 

We need to be kind to ourselves, remember? Without kindness we are out of balance. Without kind attention to how our body feels our lives can go havoc or astray. When we put a more loving intention on our sense of authentic wellbeing we can feel better - naturally, breathe better - naturally, because our breathing is compromised by our posture and habitual, fixed and stiff behavior and thoughts. 

We've got to engage our bodies if we want to make a real change. 

In the evening

What do children and animals do before going to sleep? They let go of stuck energy by going super active and crazy, by playing and exhausting themselves so they have a good night sleep. 

This is the time to be super crazy, to move your body again in a disorderly fashion, to invite some chaos into our life. This is about letting go of self-importance and releasing any uncomfortable energy/emotions out of our mind-body-soul system. 

Then we can do a sitting down mediation, just before bedtime. It becomes more powerful and more meaningful. We sleep better, we feel better, our life gets better. 

Namaste and Aloha!

Dominat Vibe

Reality is a feedback system. What we are is what we experience. We all are equipped with a certain attitude and mood in our life. This is an indication how far or how close we are to our connection with life purpose, Higher Self or Source. When we feel unhappy, we are disconnected. It is as simple as this. 

For those of us who are predominantly in an unhappy vibe about life, it may be difficult to understand that it is for our own good to feel good even if the circumstances are dire. 

To understand our situation we need to understand the main attitude/mood that has accompanied us throughout life. Our emotions and feelings are like a lens through which we experience life.   

Being mostly unhappy means there is a lot of corrupted and contracted energy in our mind-body-soul structure. For this we need to allow this energy, vibe to be seen, felt and transformed. 

There may be an intrinsic, mechanical, learned tendency towards ‘pleasure FOR pain’ (either towards oneself or others). It is a pattern that disallows the real state of happiness, it is bounded around victim/predator (masochism/sadism) structure, and it implies suffering in one’s life through experience of negative emotions: fear, shame, guilt, anger, disappointment, resentment, and continued dissatisfaction. As we are stuck with those emotions, we see a confirmation of them in our life. 

If we have experienced a lot of challenging events and have not been able to release stress that has build around them we feel stuck and unhappy. Nothing seem to work in our life. We don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, or it is very dim and far away (which means we did not loose hope). 

Unreleased stress is like a glue that bounds and blocks natural flow of life force. It is something blocking the natural, positive feelings about oneself and the world. The eyes look constantly for danger or victim. Feeling deeply in love with yourself and good about one’s life seems to be incomprehensible. There are patterns that don't allow us to see the world from a different, more positive, higher perspective. We are stuck in a vicious circle. 

We all have these blocks and patterns to some extent.  

Let’s not dive into the why’s and how’s, now - what we need first is to restructure our nervous system for the reception of good vibes. If we would consider life’s how’s and why’s from this lower brain perspective we would mostly see life as suffering, evil and danger. This leads to a negative philosophy and misanthropy.

If we want to know our dominant vibe and change it constructively inside-out - we need to get in touch with it, for a little while. And than change it, piece by piece, that allows the more vibrant state to be activated. As our natural way, the way of nature is to be mostly at ease and happy, we can intend this to happen. We all have a magical wand within ourselves. It is our Focus and Intention. By doing this exercise, you are not only changing your dominant vibe, but also learning how to use this valuable tool. 

Do this exercise with your eyes open. In this way you become more aware of what is going on and train to be more conscious, yet relaxed, while awake. You gain connection to yourself on a deeper level. This allows you to be more in charge of your inner world. And there - you can transform patterns that do not serve your happiness.

Take a deep breath. Notice how deep you can go. Notice how easy is your breathing.

Exhale with a sigh. Exhale as if with a relief. Pause for a few seconds.

Let an image from your whole life unveil. What is the dominant mood?

Explore it for a while. It is OK to feel a certain way.

Are you mostly excited or disappointed? Is there a sense of struggle or ease?

Do you feel more heavy or light? Let yourself feel the feeling.

Observe the sensations from a distance. As if detached from it.

Breathing deeply and slowly. Accepting the way you feel in your life.

Now see this emotional energy in shape and color. Somewhere around you or inside you.

Take a slow deep breath in. Feeling easy and relaxed.

See this emotional energy changing form. See it being more light and bright.

See a golden white light emerging.

It catches all dark and heavy particles. And transforms them into a loving light.

As it happens, you feel access to more subtle feelings.

Of unconditional, natural joy. Of respect to others and yourself.

An aura of brightness and light, an aura of wishing well, surrounds you.

It is incorporated within every cell of your body. Allow yourself to feel it.

Breathing in deeply, and easily.

You give your whole being permission

To feel a golden-white vibe, surrounding you

And uplifting every aspect of your life. 

Little by little. Piece by piece. More and more.
