Starting the New Year on a Higher Spiritual Frequency: Embrace Renewal and Transformation

Starting the new year with a fresh spiritual frequency is more than just setting resolutions or creating new routines. It’s about making an intentional shift that aligns your inner self with the energy you want to embody for the year ahead. This process can be deeply transformative, allowing you to enter the new year not just with hope, but with a renewed sense of self. Here’s how to set yourself up for that shift, along with an example of how I practice this in my own life and through my work.

Reflect and Release

The first step is to reflect on the past year. Spend time recognizing what worked, what didn’t, and—most importantly—what lessons came out of your experiences. Spiritual renewal is not about ignoring or erasing the past, but rather acknowledging it and then letting go of what no longer serves you. This can be done through journaling, meditation, or even a simple visualization where you imagine yourself releasing old patterns, beliefs, or situations like leaves falling away from a tree.

For me, this process is tied to my past experiences and the spiritual lessons I’ve learned along the way. One key part of my journey was recognizing how certain relationships drained me because I allowed them to operate on their terms instead of mine. Reflecting on that period in my life, where I was caught in a dynamic with someone who only reached out when it was convenient for them, showed me how vital it is to set boundaries and reclaim my power. Once I became aware of how much I was compromising my own well-being, I consciously released those patterns. It was empowering and opened up new, healthier connections that aligned better with my energy.

Set Intentions, Not Resolutions

Intentions are different from resolutions. Resolutions tend to focus on external achievements or goals, whereas intentions are about aligning with your soul’s desires. When setting intentions, ask yourself: “How do I want to feel this year?” “What energy do I want to embody?” Focus on the quality of life you want to create rather than fixating on specific outcomes.

In my work with Intuitive Edge, I guide clients to access these deeper layers of themselves. For instance, I often help people connect to their own inner knowing through intuitive readings. A powerful way I support them in renewing their spiritual frequency is by showing them how to access their own Akashic records. There is a common misconception that only certain individuals can access these records, but I believe that anyone can learn to tap into this wisdom. By teaching clients how to connect with their records, they gain insight into their soul’s journey, which can be incredibly liberating and help them set authentic, soul-aligned intentions.

Engage in Rituals that Ground Your Intentions

Rituals are a powerful way to anchor new intentions and spiritual frequencies. This could be lighting candles, using crystals, or even creating a vision board that symbolizes what you want to manifest. Personally, I find that incorporating rituals around the new moon is particularly powerful, as it is a time of new beginnings.

In my own practice, I’ve developed a ritual that combines visualization, energy work, and intention-setting to clear away the old and welcome the new. One example of this is using guided visualization to reconnect with past lives. For me, my past life as a witch who was burned alive held trauma that needed to be acknowledged and transformed. By confronting that fear in this life and understanding its influence on my current patterns, I was able to break free from a subconscious cycle of suppression and fear of visibility.

Embrace New Experiences and Knowledge

Spiritual renewal is also about opening yourself to new experiences and knowledge. This could mean learning about a new spiritual practice, exploring different forms of meditation, or simply allowing yourself to follow your curiosity wherever it may lead. Growth often comes from the willingness to step into the unknown, trusting that what you’re drawn to is what your soul needs at this moment.

In my readings and consultations, I encourage people to listen to their intuition and explore whatever sparks their curiosity. Sometimes, a single nudge to explore something new can lead to a profound breakthrough. I’ve seen clients go from feeling stuck and confused to experiencing powerful transformations, simply by allowing themselves to embrace new perspectives.

Trust Your Own Process

Finally, trust that your path is unique to you. There’s no right or wrong way to approach spiritual renewal. What works for one person might not work for another, and that’s okay. The important thing is to stay true to what resonates with you.

This is something I emphasize in all my work. Whether it’s teaching clients to access their Akashic records or guiding them through intuitive readings, I hold space for them to discover their own truths. It’s never about imposing a set way of doing things but rather empowering others to trust their own inner wisdom. When we connect to our intuition and trust our spiritual path, we align with a frequency that is truly ours, allowing us to step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and joy.

By embracing these practices, you can start the new year on a higher spiritual frequency, ready to manifest what truly aligns with your soul.

The Spiritual Significance Of Birthdays

Birthdays are a special time of the year when we celebrate another year of life and reflect on our past, present, and future. But did you know that birthdays have spiritual significance as well? In many ancient cultures, birthdays were considered sacred and were celebrated in unique and meaningful ways.

In ancient Egypt, birthdays were seen as a time of renewal and rebirth. The Egyptians believed that each year, the individual’s soul was reborn into a new body, and the birthday was a time to honor and celebrate this spiritual journey. They would hold elaborate feasts and rituals to honor the gods and goddesses who protected them throughout the year.

In ancient Greece, birthdays were also considered sacred and were celebrated with offerings to the gods and goddesses. It was believed that on your birthday, you were closer to the divine and had the opportunity to receive blessings and guidance for the year ahead. People would gather to share food, drink, and stories, honoring the individual’s life and the path they were on.

In ancient Rome, birthdays were celebrated with great pomp and circumstance. The Romans believed that each person had a guardian spirit or “genius” that was born with them and watched over them throughout their life. On their birthday, they would make offerings to their genius, asking for protection and guidance in the year ahead. They would also hold feasts and parties, inviting friends and family to celebrate their life and accomplishments.

Today, we may not hold the same elaborate rituals and ceremonies as our ancient ancestors, but the spiritual significance of birthdays is still present. It is a time to reflect on our journey, to give thanks for the blessings in our life, and to set intentions for the year ahead. It is a time to connect with our higher self and the divine, to ask for guidance and support as we continue on our path.

So next time your birthday rolls around, take a moment to honor the spiritual significance of the day. Light a candle, say a prayer, or simply take a moment of silence to connect with your higher self and give thanks for another year of life. And remember, you are never alone on your journey – your guardian spirit, the divine, and all those who love and support you are always by your side. Happy Birthday!

Recognize & Resolve Your Personal Blocks

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in a rut and can’t seem to move forward in life? It’s a common feeling that many of us experience at some point. But what if I told you that the key to unlocking your potential lies in identifying and working on your personal blocks?

Personal blocks are the limiting beliefs, fears, and negative patterns that hold us back from reaching our full potential. These blocks can stem from past experiences, societal conditioning, or even our own self-doubt. But the good news is that they can be overcome with a little bit of introspection and spiritual work.

One of the first steps in identifying your personal blocks is to take a closer look at your thoughts and behaviors. Are there recurring patterns that seem to be holding you back? Do you find yourself self-sabotaging or doubting your abilities? These are all signs that there may be some deeper issues at play.

Once you’ve identified your personal blocks, it’s time to start working on them spiritually. This can involve practices such as meditation, journaling, or working with a spiritual healer or therapist. By delving into the root causes of your blocks, you can begin to release them and create space for new, positive energy to flow in.

Another important aspect of working on your personal blocks is to practice self-love and compassion. It’s easy to be hard on ourselves when we feel stuck or stagnant, but it’s important to remember that we are all works in progress. By treating ourselves with kindness and understanding, we can start to break down the barriers that are holding us back.

Ultimately, the key to moving forward in life lies in facing our personal blocks head-on and doing the inner work necessary to overcome them. By taking the time to identify and work on our limiting beliefs and fears, we can start to cultivate a sense of empowerment and create the life we truly desire.

So if you’re feeling stuck or held back in any area of your life, take some time to explore your personal blocks and start working on them spiritually. You deserve to live a life that is full of joy, abundance, and fulfillment – and by releasing your personal blocks, you can start to make that a reality.

Energy in Motion: Feel It to Heal It

An excerpt from Divine Love Affair and Akashic Journey by Nancy Smith

The Energetics of Emotions

Emotions are energy in motion. Our emotions can be like flairs, rocketing up into our awareness to say “Pay Attention! This is important!”

The typical busy life is full of mental and physical jobs and tasks. Rarely have I heard anyone say “I have to spend more time feeling.” As a culture, we minimize our emotions. That is, until they snag us into feeling something we can’t avoid.

We subdue our feelings with judgments, criticism, and rationalization, or we ignore them hoping they will fade away. Feelings don’t fade away. Just like the principle of energy, emotions don’t stop they simply take another form, in another place in our consciousness. Energy is a never-ending cycle. And so are our emotions. Sometimes the new expressions can be physical ailment, mental pressure, and psychological struggles. Unexpressed emotions can be projected onto other people places and things. Blame, shame, guilt, prejudice, jealousy are all forms of unexpressed emotions.

It’s all energy in motion.

The purest form of our internal energy is our emotion. Emotion speaks a language we understand the best. Across all cultures, humans recognize and understand emotions, even with a huge language barrier. Emotions are energy in motion. They have a message to deliver, they are designed to give us information.

Feelings, emotions, and emotional reactions are multi-layered. When we finally decide to connect with our feelings we often feel a sense of confusion. Logic tries to analyze and figure out a solution that leads to more confusion. Because we still don’t know how we really feel.

The whole communication process within our neurons and brain can break down into a hot mess. Your emotions and feelings may then go underground to your unconscious. Your conscious self is then lulled into thinking your feelings are resolved. Truthfully, your emotions have only just begun to vibrate in your life. The resolution to this hot mess of emotions is not found in your analytical reasoning.

The Closed Circuit

A pure energy, from the Divine Creator, I call it the Akasha Energy, flows through us constantly. Like the beat of our heart, this energy pulses into our etheric and physical body.

Our entire body system, etheric, physical, emotional, and mental absorbs (or spends, or transforms) this energy as needed. This energy also is a continuous flow going throughout our body that connects us to the higher Akashic heaven. This energy is love and is the source of all wisdom, healing, and creation.

Our energy system aligns with this flow, for the most part, until something happens. Something could be a trauma, an unplanned influence, or something that stops us in our tracks emotionally, mentally, and or physically. If this event is not integrated or understood throughout our energy system, a disruption in our energy flow takes place. This disruption could cause what I call a closed circuit in our energy system. The energy continues to flow, but it no longer integrates with our consciousness.

The broken energy flows in a cycle from our root and lower chakras to the point of disruption and then back again to the root chakra. A closed circuit of energy can happen anywhere in our chakra system, since we need our lower root system to survive in life, at least one lower chakra is usually involved.

The energy flow is closed and no longer receives sustenance or guidance from other sources, including our Akashic soul source. These closed circuits can create misplaced belief systems. For instance, unresolved grief or anger that feeds off itself and perpetuates never-ending pain in our lives.

You can recognize a closed circuit when you have reoccurring themes in your life that don’t resolve. Anger without forgiveness is a closed circuit. Fear without courage, grief without resolution, or blame without compassion are all closed circuits.

It is possible to resolve a closed circuit through meditations and energy work in your Akashic Records. Sometimes all you need to do is to dig down and feel the root emotion and listen to the message that emotion has for you. Feeling and acknowledging root emotions will open your closed circuit which will open your energy system to the divine flow of life.

Where Did You Come From?

Excerpt from Divine Love Affair an Akashic Journey – Nancy Smith

The mystical power of creation is at the core of every religion and spiritual belief.

This Creator power is usually personified by the mindset and culture of the time. In some cases, the personification of this power becomes a communally agreed upon religious belief which supports the lifestyle of that culture.

Consistent throughout humanity’s search for meaning and spiritual expression is the mystery of something beyond our individual self. Something within ourselves searches and imagines there is a beginning, a mind, or a presence that is greater than ME. Part of our intuitive being wants to understand and relate to, and even return to, the place I came from.

Is This Where I Began?

As tribes developed in different regions of the world, unique cultures and beliefs continued to develop. The following section is full of interesting descriptions of creation myths found throughout the world.

As you read these fascinating and simplified versions of creation, begin to consider the use of symbolism in each story. What could the symbolic elements be telling you about the beliefs from these various tribes and cultures? Our own intuitive and divine nature often speaks to us through symbols. What beliefs are these people working with? What are they trying to understand about themselves through these symbols?

Your beliefs were taught to you by your parents and guardians, and were reinforced by your culture, schools, peers, and society at large. Mass media subjects us to a myriad of beliefs and ideas that often contradict each other. You carry tribal memories of your beliefs in your physical DNA. You are also influenced by your past lives, and carry memories in what is referred to as spiritual DNA.

These creation stories are filled with symbolism and metaphors. As Micheal Caduto and Joseph Bruchas explain in their book, Keepers of the Earth, “Everyone’s view of the world is molded by experience: a mix of fantasy, feeling, facts and faith. Each new event and experience affects our ideas concerning the nature of life and our surroundings, shifting the way we see ourselves, other people and our environment.”

Knowing what has influenced and molded you is the first step on your journey to a soul-level understanding of yourself. In this book, you will be learning how to retrieve memories and work with deep-seated beliefs. You will bring them to your awareness in order to learn from them, so that you may grow into the power of your soul.

A Simplified History of Early Spiritual Beliefs: Where We Come From

Humans have tried to understand the origin of life and the source of their own being since the beginning of time. Spiritual beliefs and religions have been passed on by word of mouth descriptions and stories that explain the Creator and the beginning of the human race. The cosmology of a Creator—a God—is often personified based on that specific culture’s earthly experiences. Most of these descriptions of life source energy are brief, sometimes vague, or not clearly documented. Ultimately, there is a consistency of reoccurring descriptions and references to a divine presence before all things were created.

The concept of Creator shifted from a female to a male over a long course of time. Archeological findings show that in the time before written language, the archetype of a female Creator seemed to prevail. As written language developed, The one God over all concept often assumes that a male deity is the highest God and Creator.

In most traditions there is a desire to obtain spiritual wisdom and a reassuring connection to the Creator. The archetypal belief is that this connection to the Creator will bring prosperity and relief from the sufferings of life.

Also present throughout most spiritual belief systems is the archetypal fear of having forgotten God and “his” commands. While some may have stayed true to the ways and faith of God, others fell to the ways of following their own worldly lusts, and neglecting or even forgetting God. If God has been forgotten, who is going to tell their children about the mysteries of God, the Creator, so that God will keep them safe? This archetype speaks to the yearning to nurture the human spirit and soul deeply embedded in humanity.

As you search for your spiritual origins, first look at what has influenced and molded you. Next, look at what resonates with you. For instance, are you a child of God, a star seed, a creation of Mother Earth, a transplant from another universe, or a being from another plane of existence? We ALL have spiritual origins, and the challenge is to remember Soul and Source when you wonder where you have come from!

Peace out!

First Contact with Extraterrestrial Beings: Exploring the Unknown

One of recorded history’s most prolonged-running and written conspiracy theories is whether we are alone. The concept of first contact with extraterrestrial beings has fascinated humanity for centuries. As a little boy growing up with movies such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars, and E.T. and having direct bloodlines to ancestors like Neil Armstrong (first man on the moon), I have always been enamored and intrigued with the possibility of intelligent life both here on our planet (we know more about the moon than we do our oceans) and what is out there among the darkness of space in our universe containing more stars than the grains of sand on all of the beaches here in Earth. In this article, we will delve into the hypothetical scenario of first contact with extradimensional beings, extraterrestrials, or “aliens,” exploring the various possibilities, potential challenges, and the impact they may have on our world and finally start to answer humans’ biggest question, are we truly alone in this universe.

The possibility of encountering intelligent life from other planets or discovering something right here in our oceans, deep down in the planet or the ice-covered continent of Antarctica, sparks our imagination and raises profound questions and debates about our human place in the universe. Who better to research and discuss than those subject matter experts who have traveled to space and would have first-hand knowledge and experiences with the UFO phenomenon, Navy test pilot, NASA astronaut, and MIT graduate Edgar Mitchell?

In 1966, just 13 years after enlisting in the United States Navy, Edgar Mitchell became a NASA astronaut. Mitchell spent much of his adult life as a Naval Aviator before attending the Navy’s postgraduate school. He became a Navy research pilot and earned his Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was in the rotation for Apollo Missions 9 and 10 and was supposed to go up with the ill-fated Apollo 13. However, it was during Apollo 14 that Edgar Mitchell was finally able to set foot on the moon’s surface. While returning to Earth, he finally had a moment to take in the view. Seeing Earth from the outside changed how he saw himself and humanity.

“My own experience was a very powerful one —on the way back after my work was done…From looking at Earth from space, you come up with the question, who are we, how did we get here, and where’s all this going? And that’s an ancient question that humans have asked for a long time. My experience was to realize that perhaps our science is wrong at answering these questions, and perhaps our religious cosmologies are archaic and flawed. And given that now we are an extraterrestrial civilization ourselves, we need to re-ask these questions, do a lot more work to find the answers. I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.
-Edgar Mitchell.

The once-enlisted sailor and celebrated astronaut who became the sixth human on the moon passed over in 2016 at age 85.

I. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI):
Humanity’s fascination with intelligent life beyond Earth has led to the establishment of organizations such as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Through radio telescopes and other advanced technologies, SETI has been scanning the cosmos for any potential signals indicating the presence of alien civilizations. The discovery of such signals could potentially pave the way for first contact.

II. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST):
JWST is a large, space-based observatory that is set to be launched by NASA. It is designed to study the universe in infrared wavelengths and will be able to see the first galaxies that formed in the early universe. As for whether the James Webb telescope will discover life, its primary goal is not to search for extraterrestrial life directly. However, the telescope will be able to study the atmospheres of exoplanets, which could provide valuable information about their potential habitability. While the JWST may not directly discover life, it could contribute to our understanding of the conditions that could support life on other planets.

III. The Encounter: A Momentous Event:
If first contact were to occur, it would undoubtedly be a momentous event in human history. The initial encounter between humans and aliens could take various forms, from direct physical encounters to communication through advanced technologies. Both parties’ reactions would be a mix of curiosity, excitement, and apprehension.

IV. Cultural and Linguistic Barriers:
Communication with extraterrestrial beings would present significant challenges due to potential cultural and linguistic barriers. Aliens may have different ways of perceiving and understanding the world, making it difficult to establish meaningful communication. Developing a universal language or using advanced translation technologies would be crucial in bridging this gap.

V. Technological Advancements and Scientific Collaboration:
First contact would undoubtedly spur significant technological advancements and scientific collaboration. The exchange of knowledge and ideas between humans and aliens could revolutionize our understanding of the universe, leading to breakthroughs in physics, biology, and astrophysics. The sharing of advanced technologies could also profoundly impact our way of life.

VI. Societal and Ethical Implications:
The societal and ethical implications of first contact cannot be understated. The encounter with a more advanced civilization may raise questions about our existence, religion, and philosophy. It could also challenge our perception of humanity’s place in the universe and prompt us to reevaluate our values and priorities as a species. The potential for conflicts and power struggles may arise, requiring careful consideration and diplomacy.

VII. The Impact on Earth’s Ecosystem:
The arrival of aliens could have unintended consequences for Earth’s ecosystem. Introducing alien organisms or technologies could disrupt delicate ecological balances, leading to unpredictable outcomes. Establishing protocols and guidelines to prevent any irreversible damage and ensure the preservation of our planet’s biodiversity becomes crucial.

In conclusion, First contact with aliens remains a hypothetical scenario, but it captivates our collective imagination. Exploring this possibility raises profound questions about our place in the universe, our understanding of life, and the potential for scientific and technological advancements. As we continue to search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, we must also contemplate the societal, ethical, and environmental implications that first contact would entail. We can only navigate the unknown and embrace the potential opportunities and challenges that await us in the vast cosmos by approaching this hypothetical scenario with open minds and careful consideration. Welcome to our Roaring 20’s of change, renaissance, and transformation!

“We don’t need to be this warlike civilization. We need to learn to be a cooperative civilization working together to solve our survival problems and our sustainability problems. Because right now, civilization as we live it is not sustainable… it’s a question as to whether we can make it through this century or not, the way we’re doing things right now.” -Edgar Mitchell.

The Diamonds of Being Alone

Being alone is often misunderstood and stigmatized in our society. Many people associate being alone with loneliness and isolation, but it is essential to recognize that being alone can be a valuable and enriching experience. This article will explore the art of being alone, its benefits, and how to cultivate a healthy relationship with solitude.

Embracing Solitude:

Being alone allows us to reconnect with ourselves and explore our thoughts and emotions. It will enable us to step away from the distractions and noise of the world and focus on our own needs and desires. Embracing solitude can lead to self-discovery, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Reflection and Self-Discovery:

We have the space and time to reflect on our lives, goals, and values when alone. This introspection can lead to self-discovery and a better understanding of who we are, allowing us to identify our strengths and weaknesses and make choices and decisions that align with our authentic selves.

Creative Expression:

Being alone can also foster creativity and innovation. It provides the freedom to explore new ideas, engage in artistic pursuits, and experiment with different forms of self-expression. Many great artists, writers, and thinkers have credited their periods of solitude as crucial to their creative process.

Independence and Self-Reliance:

Spending time alone can help develop a sense of independence and self-reliance. When alone, we learn to rely on ourselves for companionship, entertainment, and problem-solving. This can lead to increased self-confidence and a greater sense of empowerment.

Mindfulness and Inner Peace:

Being alone in our fast-paced and constantly connected world allows us to slow down and cultivate mindfulness. It provides an opportunity to be fully present in the moment, to observe our thoughts and emotions without judgment, and to find inner peace and tranquility. Mindfulness practice has been shown to reduce stress, enhance well-being, and improve overall mental health.

Building Meaningful Connections:

Being comfortable with being alone can enhance our ability to form meaningful connections with others. When secure in our own company, we are less likely to seek validation and fulfillment from external sources. This allows us to enter into relationships from a place of authenticity and independence, fostering deeper connections and healthier dynamics.

In Conclusion:

Being alone is not something to be feared or avoided but rather an art to be embraced and cultivated. It provides us with an opportunity for self-discovery, creativity, independence, and mindfulness. By learning to appreciate and enjoy our company, we can build a stronger sense of self, foster personal growth, and cultivate meaningful connections with others. So, let us not shy away from solitude but instead embrace it as a valuable and enriching experience.

Let Your Heart Be Full This Holiday Season

Have you ever had the feeling of so much love, grief or gratitude in your heart that you felt your chest could burst? If you have, consider yourself blessed and keep it up! If not, read on. The power of feeling fullness in your heart is a profound and transformative experience, even if it comes with intense emotions. It’s a sensation that transcends the boundaries of mere contentment; it’s an emotional richness that leaves a lasting imprint on your soul. 

When your heart is full, it’s as if every fiber of your being is infused with warmth and light. It’s a sensation that can arise from moments of deep connection, profound gratitude, or overwhelming love. The intensity of these emotions might bring tears to your eyes or a lump to your throat, or a complete sob fest, but it’s in these moments that you truly understand the depth of human experience. Let it flow! 

The power of a full heart lies in its ability to elevate your perspective. It allows you to see the beauty in both the extraordinary and the ordinary aspects of life. Whether it’s sharing laughter with loved ones, a breathtaking moment in nature, or a simple awareness of gratitude and kindness surrounding you, the fullness in your heart magnifies the significance of these moments. 

Even in the face of challenges or hardships, a heart filled with emotion becomes a source of strength. It provides resilience, reminding you that within the dance of life, there are moments of profound beauty and connection that sustain and nourish your spirit, and remind you of who you really are.

It’s a reminder that vulnerability is not a weakness but a doorway to profound connection and understanding. Whether it’s joy, love, or gratitude, embracing these intense emotions allows you to live fully and authentically. 

In a world where we are often taught that feeling deeply or crying is to be avoided and is often characterized by its fast pace and constant demands, taking the time to acknowledge and appreciate the fullness in your heart becomes a powerful act of self-care. It anchors you in the present moment, fostering mindfulness and a sense of peace that extends beyond the fleeting nature of intense emotions. 

So, embrace the power of feeling a fullness in your heart, even if it stirs intense emotions. For within that fullness lies the magic of being alive, fully engaged with the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

Preparing & Maintaining Your Energy Health This Holiday Season

During the holidays, it’s common to be around a lot of people and in many different environments. While this can be fun and festive, it can also leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed if you’re not careful about protecting your energy. Here are some tips for keeping your aura clean and avoiding taking on psychic energy from others during the holidays:

Set boundaries:

Before attending events or spending time with others, set clear boundaries for yourself. Decide what you’re willing and able to give of your time and energy and communicate that to others. Catch yourself if you are “people pleasing”.

Prepare with visualization before you go to the gathering:

See the event in your mind ahead of time, and actively place positive and protective energies around the space you will be in. A restaurant, or a person’s home, or your own home if that is where the gathering is going to be. I personally use angels on every corner of the property, and inside in all corners of the space. I ask that they continuously clear the space from any negative lower frequencies that may be there. I then ask that the doorways be cleared and guarded with pure light, so any negative energies are purified as people walk through them. This is called treating or setting the space ahead of time. Then, when I walk into the gathering, I know I am walking into ease, light, joy, and positive energy for the time there. If angels don’t work for you, use a body of light with colors you like, or power animals or spirit guides and loved ones on the other side, or fairies and elementals. I have a friend who calls in the Divine Creator to do this protection, and Jesus. It just depends on what truly resonates with you.

Protect yourself:

Visualize yourself surrounded by a protective bubble of light that shields you from negative energy. You can also carry protective crystals like black tourmaline or amethyst or wear a piece of jewelry that has special meaning to you. If you find yourself “cornered” by someone who is an energy vampire, talking “at” you instead of with you, and by so doing is literally filling themselves up with your energy as you listen to them, simply place a hand on your solar plexus to “shield” yourself from the energy cording the other person is doing to you. At the same time imagine the energy from them that is going into you draining right out your feet and into the Earth. Energy cords are cords of psychic energy that get created through (unconscious or conscious) emotions. We can give and take these cords of energy from others all the time all day long as we move about and interact with life. When there is a strong emotion in an interaction, the cords will be stronger and feel more obvious.

Practice mindfulness:

Stay present in the moment and pay attention to how you’re feeling. If you notice yourself becoming overwhelmed or drained, take a break and do something that helps you feel grounded, like deep breathing or meditation.

Clear your energy:

Take time each day to clear any negative energy from your aura. You can do this by smudging with sage or palo santo, taking a salt bath, spending some time out in nature, breathing in fresh air, or practicing visualization techniques.

Surround yourself with positive people:

Seek out relationships with people who uplift and inspire you and avoid those who drain your energy or bring negativity into your life.

Eat sensibly and somewhat cleanly:

Be mindful of the sugar, alcohol and dairy you are consuming, and the quantities of such. Moderation is key!

By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you’ll be better equipped to protect your energy and maintain a clean aura during the holidays and beyond.

The Fascinating and Complex Topic of Consciousness and the Pineal Gland

Consciousness and the Pineal Gland is a fascinating and complex topic that has intrigued philosophers, scientists, and thinkers for centuries. This article will explore and discuss different aspects of consciousness as we “prospect” deeper on its definition, theories, philosophy, and implications.

To begin, let us define consciousness. It refers to our awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and experiences, the subjective “inner world” we all possess. It enables us to perceive, think, and have a sense of self. However, what exactly gives rise to consciousness?

One prominent theory is the Integrated Information Theory (IIT) proposed by neuroscientist Giulio Tononi. According to IIT, consciousness arises from integrating and applying information within a complex network of neurons. The theory suggests that the more interconnected and differentiated the network, the higher the level of consciousness.

Another theory worth mentioning is the Global Workspace Theory (GWT) put forth by Bernard Baars. GWT suggests that consciousness can be thought of as a global workspace, where different parts of the brain contribute to the processing and integration of information. This theory highlights the importance of attention, as it determines which information becomes conscious and enters our global workspace. While these theories provide valuable insights into the nature of consciousness, the mystery of how our subjective experiences or “Soul Adventures” arise from physical processes in the brain remains unsolved. Today, this process is called the “hard problem” of consciousness.

Consciousness also raises philosophical questions about the relationship between mind, body, and spirit. Dualism, famously advocated by René Descartes, suggests that consciousness is separate from the physical body and brain. On the other hand, materialism argues that consciousness results from physical processes in our brains. Finding common ground between these perspectives remains a challenge to both science and spirituality to this day. “No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.” -Carl Jung.

Exploring the implications of consciousness is another intriguing aspect. Consciousness plays a crucial role in our daily lives and relationships, shaping our perceptions, emotions, and decision-making. It allows us to experience joy, beauty, love, pain, suffering, and fear. Understanding consciousness could potentially lead to advancements in fields like psychology, artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, and even ethics for the future of our society.

Studying altered states of consciousness, such as meditation, dreams, plant medicine, or even Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) or Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), provides further insight and perspectives into the nature of our consciousness. These altered states challenge our conventional understanding, our beliefs, and our human reality and can offer glimpses into the potential depths and mysteries of our subjective experiences. Many believe and have written over the centuries that the Pineal Gland is the gateway or portal to these undiscovered depths of human experiences and deeper consciousness: “A dream is the key that unlocks the mysteries of the waking world.” -Juliet Marillier.

The pineal gland in the center of the human brain is a small but intriguing gland that has captured scientists’ and mystics’ curiosity and imagination. While its biological function in melatonin regulation is well understood, the mystical and metaphysical associations surrounding it continue to be a subject of fascination and speculation.

As scientific research progresses, we may gain further insights into the pineal gland’s potential functions and impact on our consciousness and spiritual experiences. The pineal gland, often referred to as the “third eye,” has been a subject of fascination and speculation throughout history, so let us take a closer look and explore the anatomy, function, and mystical associations of the pineal gland, shedding light on both scientific and spiritual understanding and alternative theories as part of the human consciousness and our human experiences. “The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.” -Albert Einstein.

-Anatomy and Location:

The pineal gland is a small, pinecone-shaped endocrine gland located deep within the brain in the epithalamus region. It is situated near the brain’s center, between the two hemispheres, and connects to the brain’s visual system.

-Biological Function:

The pineal gland is scientifically known for producing and regulating melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin is synthesized and released by the pineal gland in response to the circadian rhythm, with higher levels at night and lower levels during the day.

-The Pineal Gland as the “Third Eye”:

The pineal gland has gained mystical and metaphysical associations throughout history. Some ancient cultures, such as the Egyptians and the Hindus, believed that the pineal gland was the seat of spiritual and psychic abilities. This association is linked to the gland’s location and resemblance to the human eye.

-Descartes’ Theory of the Pineal Gland:

René Descartes, a 17th-century philosopher, proposed that the pineal gland was the point of interaction between the mind and the body. He suggested that it served as a connection between the physical and non-physical realms, allowing for the interaction of the soul and the material body.

-DMT and the Pineal Gland:

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in various plants, animals, and even the human body. Some theories propose that the pineal gland is responsible for the production and release of DMT, which is also believed through the centuries to be involved in mystical experiences and altered states of consciousness.

-The Pineal Gland and Light:

The pineal gland contains light-sensitive cells like those found in the eye’s retina. These cells, known as pinealocytes, play a role in detecting light and regulating melatonin production. The release of melatonin is inhibited by light exposure, which explains its role in maintaining our sleep-wake cycles.

-Decalcification and Activation:

Some alternative theories suggest that the pineal gland can become calcified over time, leading to its decreased functionality. Certain practices, such as meditation, sound therapy, and exposure to specific frequencies, are believed to aid in decalcification and activation of the pineal gland, potentially unlocking its spiritual and psychic capabilities.

-Scientific Research and Limitations:

While the pineal gland’s role in melatonin production and regulation is well-established, many mystical, metaphysical, and spiritual claims surrounding it for thousands of years remain speculative and somewhat elusive. The scientific understanding of the pineal gland is still evolving, and further research is needed to explore its potential functions beyond melatonin regulation and the relationship or correlation to the human consciousness and the human brain’s interactions with the physical and material world. “Keep the pineal gland operating, and you will never grow old; you will always be young.” -Edgar Cayce.

In conclusion, consciousness is a multifaceted phenomenon that captivates our curiosity. While progress and moving forward is part of the human journey, understanding its neural correlates and theoretical frameworks, the nature of consciousness remains elusive. Exploring, connecting, and “prospecting” consciousness deepens our understanding of ourselves, our world, and our lives. It raises profound questions about the nature of reality and the many mysteries associated with consciousness moving on after the natural progression of what humans call physical death. “The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.” -Lao Tzu.
