In the world of manifestation and even healing we speak of the power of word. We say that what we bring forth is ultimately what creates our reality. It becomes the tool by which we mould energy into being. A way in which we can flip any situation around, turn a frown into a smile.
As a forerunner to this I would like to say that it can be really difficult to think outside of our conditioning and nature. To get there we really have to push ourselves to sit in others positions and imagine how their life formed them and created the unique layers that make-up their being. This is how we become more tolerant to other’s view points and ways of existing. When we do, we often come to understandings that we would not have come up with otherwise. I’ve recently come to one of these understandings.
It’s something I’ve understood intuitively for many many years but haven’t experienced it so intimately until more recently. That is, creating our desired reality and where our true power lies is not in what we bring forth through word but rather the way in which we bring anything forth. We can bring forth the simplest of words, images, glances or any other seemingly superfluous thing with a much greater impact on a much deeper level if we fine tune where it is coming from.
I remember back in 2013 taking a Restorative Bodywork & Myo-Fascia class with the truly incredible Mylène Bergeron at Resource Yoga on St.Denis (class still available) and listening to her speak on the power of intention with regards to bodywork. This segment of her course was a real eye opener, we did an exercise in correcting body posture where we were guided to adjust the body of the person standing with a slight touch of the hand. So rather than firmly moving the tissues in the necessary direction to correct the posture we would first set our intentions on how we wished the body to be adjusted and then we were guided to gently, with the lightest of touch, sweep our hands across the surface of the body in the necessary direction.
The results of this exercise provided over-whelming proof that the power of touch lies not only in moving the tissues around but by using the power of observation and intention to address the tissues on the subtlest levels of the persons being. It’s incredible what we can accomplish with a focused suggestive touch to the body. The mind is equally susceptible to suggestion on a very deep level. We address this in quantum healing, the goal is to bypass the conscious mind that holds the thought patterns which are looping thoughts and habits as we gently imprint layers of new thinking into the subconscious parts of the mind, the place where behaviour stems. Similar to hypnosis where we first bring the person into a theta state, the state a person enters right before they fall asleep and hit REM when their mind is the most suggestible.
You might have heard people talking about the war of soft slavery in our culture and when you do what they are referring to is this subtle programming of the mind through the messages sent out into mainstream by television and radio. For example repetitive news such as on CNN about the numerous crisis situations happening around the world cratered by very specific agendas in the most dramatic ways possible. A person coming home from work every night and watching a couple hours of CNN will slowly and subtly be impressed with messages that will generate a sense of fear and anxiety within them and begin to form the basis for their opinions. Such as if CNN made a segment tomorrow and put it on repeat for the next month about the economy crashing. Most people would begin to believe on a very deep level that they are going to lose their money, quality of life, livelihood or business. This generates much stress in their lives. It literally begins to dictate how they experience their day-to-day thoughts and the decisions that they make.
This reminds me of an important story my Dad told me about how he stayed afloat during the economic crash of 94. He said he would go home every night and watch the news, watch interviews about companies moving across the boarder into Ontario or closing, and the quality of living declining. He told me that each time he would be watching it, as an entrepreneur with a successful business, it would cause him great anxiety and he would find himself less motivated at work the next morning. He was experiencing the toll of the news suggested to him from the previous night of t.v watching. Thoughts that ‘all was going to hell anyway’ and ‘the chance of his Quebec business surviving were decreasing daily’ were taking over his ability to work towards success. Being a highly intelligent man he decided to do something different and take control of his thoughts, he decided to stop watching the news. The reward for this action was proven in the first year, he increased his sales from the previous year by 10-15% smack in the middle of the economic crash, something unheard of at the time.
There are so many negative messages transferred over to us from mainstream, just really listen to the lyrics of most pop songs or programs on cable tv. I won’t get into the list but I dare you to open your eyes and see what you are really being influenced by.
The subtle layers of our being are so impressionable, delicate and sensitive to the energies we allow to surround it. Being an energy healer, a transmuter of environmental spaces and an intuitive, I work with the gentle powers of energy which paradoxically can lead me to be all more susceptible to them, as most intuitives or empaths are. When we are doing energy work on someone, essentially what we are doing is raising their frequency with the power of imagery and thoughts, imprinting onto them healthier, more benefitting images and thoughts than those they have circulating in their auric field. We need not bring forward anything into the material plane by way of outward influence such as touch or words. For example if I have a client who is sick I will influence their energy body by impressing upon them images of them being in perfect health. I will repeat mantras such as ‘each cell in your body is in perfect harmony and homeostasis’. Whatever they are working towards improving on, I will maintain that imprint for them by concentrating on an image or words which encapsulate the end results they are wishing to draw into their experience.
The power of influence in this sense precedes words, it exists in the preconception of words, in the power of thought and intention. These images, thoughts and feelings are the very base elements of alchemical healing and magic. The very key ingredients to success, health and wellness. So it is less about what we bring forth but more about what is happening on the inside before action steeps up to the surface. Something as simple as a smile can be jam packed with love, forgiveness, ease, blessings, compassion and respect. Just as it can easily be the front for feelings of the opposite nature. This is why we can sometimes feel that a person isn’t being honest with us.
In this sense everything carries subtle energies within it, such as food that is prepared with love vs fast food that was prepared with no consideration. The exact same ingredients can be used but the intentions held during food prepared will determine its quality and how we feel after its consumption. A decorative item in your home that was hand crafted with a specific intention in mind will carry within it the energy that it was embedded with as it was made, the feelings and thoughts the person was carrying within them as they created each piece, verses a trinket that was mass produced on a production line, made by machines and an employee that would rather be at home with her family. Everything carries subtle energies that are either encoded by others or by ourselves with positive or negative charges, which will increase our wellbeing or decrease it. This is why people pray on their food before they eat it, to embed it with the subtle energies that they wish to ingest into their bodies.
The movement of heart based living from ego living stems from this understanding. The goal to better health, more happiness and creating a peaceful world stem from the subtle energies we are holding within before they steep out into the world as we interact with our environments and the people whom surround us. We are asked to question where our words and actions are stemming from. What thoughts lie behind our smiles, compliments, disagreements, actions at work and at home, as we communicate with strangers and loved ones. Questions to ask yourself are, how am I feeling as I do this or say that? Do my actions reflect my thoughts? What do I wish to accomplish with this action or with these words? Are my intentions coming from a place of love or other? Is my action going to create simplicity or complicate the matter? Are my intentions crystal clear to me? Humans are complicated creatures but we also have the capacity to reflect.
It’s when we mean one thing and do another that we create a dual response from those around us. When we subtly impress one kind of message through our energy and intentions and say or do another that is not aligned with it do we cause confusion for ourselves and others. Usually the end goals we are wishing for will not be generated overall because we must align our outer, firmest of actions with our inner subtlest of feelings and intentions. Becoming clear on your wants and needs becomes paramount in affecting the outcome of your desires and goals.
As you begin to create from a more heart centred place in combination with the mind you will begin to take actions and spread subtle seeds of the most splendid magic. At which point the energies that are emitted from your being will correspond to the wellness of yourself and others on the deepest of levels. The waves of this intention will produce a beautiful experience for all, without generating any negative feed back.
It’s no easy task to take on our own hidden motives often subconscious, or negative patterns of thought but with time we can all begin to wisely craft the life and world we wish to see!
One love,
