A breath away from healing - The Power of Affirmation
It all began with a vision I had many years ago, when I saw myself recording a collection of music ~ a special kind of music that would benefit people healing from physical, emotional and mental maladies.
At the time, I couldn't see how this could possibly come true. I was not a musician and, although music was a major part of my life, I did not know how to play a musical instrument.
Years later, this vision did come true when I recorded the first of what was to become a series of recordings featuring the ethereal sounds of Quartz Crystal ‘Singing’ Bowls.
The first was Opening the Heart to Compassion, the second Opening the Heart to Joy and the third Opening the Heart to Love, followed by Crystal Alchemy and the One Heart Affirmations book.
Bringing sound into my healing and teaching work, in turn, opened my heart to hear more clearly the guidance from the Angelic Beings of Light who guided my work.
I began to write affirmations for clients as an integral part of our healing consultations. The affirmation assists each person to consciously direct their attention towards their true vision.
“Energy follows thought and the ‘I’ directs the energy”
Energy follows thought and the ‘I’ directs the energy.
This is a saying that has been integral to my work for many years. My Ageless Wisdom philosophy teacher, William Meader, taught me the complete saying, although somehow over time the second part ~ “and the ‘I’ directs the energy” ~ seems to have been dropped off. I have been using the complete version ever since he brought it to my attention.
The second part is particularly important to me. The ‘I’ is the conscious self, and it is the ‘I’ that chooses where to direct the energy.
An affirmation assists each person to consciously direct their attention to their true vision. By consciously choosing to place energy on the affirmation ~ the vision ~ we give energy to what we wish to transform and manifest.
The affirmation is then magnified and amplified by the sound vibration from the Quartz Crystal ‘Singing’ Bowls.
The affirmation also forms the basis for the maintenance plan to be continued after our consultation together. I believe taking ongoing responsibility for maintaining the positive shift in energy that has occurred during the sound session is an empowering experience.
By strengthening our awareness of where our energy is and how we can build the discipline to direct it in a more powerful way, we move towards self-mastery.
The power of sound and the spoken word
The sound of the crystal bowls and the power of the spoken word can shift patterns of thought, emotional blockages, spiritual confusion and physical imbalance.
In my years of experience, I have found this combination has assisted people to more easily reach the place they call Peace.
Within the stillness, deep and lasting healing can occur.
I have always believed in the power of prayer. To enter into a spiritual union with God through prayer is to lift our vibratory frequency to a more refined level.
Rather than staying in the mundane, we are lifted towards the celestial realm. We are more able to feel God, to feel at one with Universal Consciousness, or whatever term we wish to use when speaking about the Source of Light.
Why is this so?
We are beings of vibration
We live in a world where there is no such thing as solid matter. Everything ~ the universe, the stars and planets, the trees, the human body, right down to the smallest particle ~ oscillates and vibrates.
We vibrate at different frequencies depending on our thoughts, emotions and physical wellbeing.
We choose our thoughts. We may not always be conscious that we have made a choice; however, we do have the power to become more conscious and to become aware of how our thoughts and feelings direct and affect our lives.
I believe that by making decisions based on awareness, we empower ourselves to create the life we want.
Who amongst us hasn't felt how small and constricted we become when we experience anger and frustration?
And remember how expanded and uplifted we feel when we experience love and joy.
We don't serve the world, or ourselves, by playing small and allowing fear and anger to dominate our thoughts and feelings.
Any situation can change in a moment. We have the power to change our thoughts and our attitudes.
Healing can be a breath away
Affirmation, intention and manifestation
An affirmation is a positive statement.
An intention is the act of deciding upon an action or result.
Affirmations from the HEART are a combination of prayer and intention, stated in a way that brings about manifestation.
Being very clear about what you want to transform and manifest, holding that in your heart and placing your energy ~ your focus ~ on the outcome without any measure of doubt is, I believe, the key to manifestation.
To choose the affirmation that is ‘right’ for you in any given moment is a very simple process.
The tool we use is intuition.
The wisdom of intuition
Intuition is one of the gifts we receive when we come into this world.
Everybody has it.
My clients and students have been amazed at how naturally intuitive they are. Many of us have not realised that we know more about ourselves than any other person.
My role as a teacher and mentor is to be a catalyst and a guide for each client and student to access their own inner knowing.
Personal power is necessary for health, for positive transformation and for creating the life you want. Accepting your own intuitive resources is another powerful step towards self-mastery.
The vibration of words deeply felt in the heart, connected with the vision of those words in the mind, sets up a vibratory pattern ~ an energetic force field.
When this is combined with an absolute belief that what is envisioned will happen, we create the vibration of manifestation.
I open my heart and mind to the LIGHT.
With every breath I take I choose to connect with the healing energy of the earth.
Please bring me balance, bring me home.
I restore myself to myself and in doing so
I create a circle of love in and around me.
