With hectic lives that lead us from one thing to the next, we barely have time to think let alone relax. And when we do have five minutes to chill and enter a state of calm we usually experience difficulty getting the mind to center and stop jumping from thought to thought. We’re so used to being on autopilot with high brain activity that when we want to take a moment of mindfulness it’s almost impossible to settle down.

This is a problem for those who want to meditate and cultivate higher awareness and spiritual consciousness, because to do so the mind needs to be in a state of low frequency activity, known as the theta and delta zones, rather than the alpha and beta zones which we are in when we are rushing around in our daily routine.

We become trapped in high mental activity, and this can result in having trouble sleeping and relaxing in general; we just can’t turn off. The good news is that binaural beats recordings can assist in manipulating the brain to the desired state of calm and quiet contemplation. By listening to a recording in the theta zone we can achieve a meditation state within just a couple of minutes.

How Binaural Beats Manipulate the Brain

The technology works by sending a different frequency to each ear via headphones, the difference between the two frequencies then entrains the brain to the desired frequency. For example, if we send a signal of 220hz to the left ear, and 210 hz to the right ear, the difference is 10hz, and this is the frequency the brain will begin to operate at. This is known as frequency following response (FFR).

Binaural beats were first discovered in 1839 by German experimenter H.Dove.  However, it wasn’t until 1973 though that biophysicist Doctor Gerald Oster brought the technology into mainstream awareness through a paper called “Auditory Beats in the Brain”, published in the Scientific American, 1973.  Oster’s research demonstrated that binaural beats were an effective tool in cognitive and neurological research. The technology has since been fine-tuned by sound engineers to help people tap into specific areas of personal development such as stress relief, better concentration and increased productivity, and also as a tool to help meditators access deep states of meditation and spiritual awareness.

Binaural Beats for Spirituality

Many meditators the world over use binaural beats as a form of guided meditation, thus the term “binaural beats meditation”. The recordings particularly benefit those who struggle to focus in the present moment, and those meditating under time constraint. Using binaural beats regularly for meditation and spiritual consciousness will entrain the brain to be able to move into a contemplative, calm, centered state on demand, which is good news for those who find it difficult to turn off a chattering mind and relax in the moment.

Binaural beats have become popular in a number of spiritual disciplines, particularly Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection. This is because such spiritual endeavors require the mind to be completely centered and ultra relaxed to cultivate awareness in the dream world (lucid dreaming) and to leave the physical body (astral projection).

Are Binaural Beats Safe?

Binaural beats recordings engineered in the low theta and delta zones have been known to induce a relaxing high that habitually manifests itself in the psyche; a very calm, positive feeling that leaves the individual open to spiritual encounters, higher awareness and higher learning. The good news, however, is that binaural beats have no negative effects on the brain, and only assist the brain in replicating brain states innate to the human disposition. There are no side effects, either, and research has shown that binaural beats enhance quality of life in a number of ways, including enhancing learning and creativity, reducing stress, anxiety and depression, and aiding recovery from sickness.

A common question I typically hear from my clients and beginning students is “Am I psychic?” The answer has and will always be the same.

Of course you are!

I firmly believe that EVERY person who is born into this physical world has strong intuitive and psychic abilities which are woven and genetically implemented right into their DNA structures.

Who out there has not had a psychic experience? Let’s look at some common and not so common psychic experiences that people tend to have and discuss what psychic ability is being used.

TELEPATHY

· Has the phone ever rung and you knew who it was before you looked at the caller ID or answered it?

· Have you ever worn the same color shirt as a friend that you were meeting later in the evening?

· Have you ever said the same thing at the same time as another person?

· Do you just know what your baby or pet needs, despite the fact they can’t talk?

· Have you ever thought of a friend and they called you while or shortly after you were thinking of them? Likewise, have you ever called a friend only to hear “I was just thinking about you!”

· Have you ever wanted something to drink and were thinking about it and shortly after a spouse or friend brought you something to quench your thirst or asked if they could get you anything to drink?

You are acting as either a generative or receptive telepath in these situations. A generative telepath can send ideas and thoughts to another person. A receptive telepath can pick up on the ideas and thoughts of other people. Two very skilled telepaths can hold entire conversations with just their thoughts while never speaking to each other. Many women find themselves doing this when with their best friend, but both men and women are capable of using this ability.

EMPATHY

· Do you know what mood a person is going to be in before you encounter them?

· Do you get sad when you are around another person that is sad? Do you get really happy or excited when around another person that is having the same emotion?

· Has anyone ever told you that they just feel instantly calm, at ease, or even safe when around you?

· Do you hate crowds, graveyards, or hospitals because of the feeling or feelings you get when around them?

Your empathic ability is at work in these cases either in a generative or receptive way. When you are a receptive empath you tend to pick up the feelings and emotions of others. These are the people who many times have trouble being in large crowds because they end up being bombarded by the emotional energy of so many people at one time. These people make phenomenal counselors as they usually tune right into what another is feeling and are capable of truly understanding them.

A generative empath is able to take a mood they are having and make others feel it. Very useful when a person is going through a crisis situation or is very angry. Someone who is a generative empath, if capable of remaining calm themselves, is able to generate that calm feeling outward and have others feel it.

CLAIRVOYANCE, PRECOGNITION, and REMOTE VIEWING

· Have you ever had a dream that came true?

· Have you ever seen a vision that turned out to be real?

· Do you see dead people?

· Do you see auras?

· Can you think of a location and then picture what is actually happening or going on there, or what has happened there?

These are mostly all forms of clairvoyance at work either in a precognitive or a remote viewing fashion.

Precognition means before the fact. It’s the idea of seeing, hearing, feeling or knowing something before it happens. If you’ve ever been with a person watching a movie and a few minutes into the movie they outlined the whole plot for you, despite the fact they had never seen it, you are sitting with a person that is having a precognitive experience. While frustrating at the time, just think of their “psychic” potential!

Remote Viewing, sometimes called long distant viewing, is the ability to see another location and watch what is happening or going on there.

When I was first working to refine my psychic abilities I use to sit with women I was dating and play a game with them. The object of the game was for me to describe their bedroom to them. When you start getting really good at this, you tend to get an “Ok, you’re freaking me out now!” response.

Clairvoyance means clear seeing. It’s the psychic ability that deals with sight. Anything which involves you seeing real or mental images can be called clairvoyance.

PSYCHOMETRY

· Have you ever touched an object or entered a room only to get flashes or images that somehow seemed associated with it in the past, but there was nothing happening in that present moment?

· Have you ever picked up a DVD or book and your mood changed to match the mood of what that DVD or book was about?

· Have you ever shook the hand of another individual and got a strange feeling about them or had a thought which didn’t make sense to you at the time, but found out later was connected to that individual?

These are all forms of psychometry which also usually makes use of empathy and clairvoyance. Psychometry is “psychic touch.” It happens when we feel a vibration that is different from our own, especially as related to physical objects. Because it deals so much with other vibrations it is sometimes called vibaturgy.

Many police or forensic psychics work with psychometry. But anytime a psychic must hold your hand or an object that belongs to you or another person you are inquiring about, they are doing a form of psychometry.

CLAIRAUIDENCE

· Have you ever heard someone call your name, physically heard it, but when you turned around or answered nobody was around?

· Have you ever had a discussion with a person that has crossed over and either heard their voice or the answers in your own head? Have you ever heard their voice with your physical ear?

· Have you ever started to do something but were scolded or told to stop by another voice other than your own when nobody else was around?

· Have you ever laid in bed at night or been in a very quiet location and it sounded like many people were chattering or talking?

These are all clairaudient experiences. True clairaudience is when you hear these things with your physical ear as though they are an outside voice actually talking to you. Telepathic clairaudience is when you hear the voices inside your own head.

I am a primary clairaudient psychic. Besides channeling, it is the psychic sense I make the most use of. This is how I get the vast majority of my information both during and outside of a session. Because of this, most of my students eventually develop this ability and most, unfortunately, think they are going crazy the first time they are laying in bed and realize that “the voices” are chattering with them. Eventually you learn to tell those voices “one at a time!” or “Tune it up or tune it out!

CLAIRSENTIENCE

· Have you ever gotten a headache and discovered that someone else in the room had one prior to you getting it? Did the headache go away after you found out?

Anytime you feel pains in your own physical body that actually belong to someone else, living or crossed over, this is termed clairsentience and works off of the empathic ability. The word means clear feeling. Many psychometry and empathic experiences are often grouped under the clairsentience category as opposed to separate categories.

CLAIRALIENCE

· Ever smelt a particular odor (like perfume, cigars, etc) while at a friends house, but discovered that you were the only person smelling it? Did you ever ask if anyone in their family use to wear that perfume or smoke that cigar?

You might be picking up on a spiritual energy or guide through your psychic smelling ability. Clairalience means clear scent and is the psychic ability that correspondence to our sense of smell.

CLAIRCOGNIZANCE

· Did you ever get a gut level feeling that you should take a different path home or avoid a certain location only to find out later that an accident or something negative took place there?

· Have you ever pulled into a store parking lot and just somehow knew where to find that parking spot right in front?

· Have you ever been surprised to discover that you know how to write, paint, speak, or perform any number of different things right when you needed to be able to do it, but when asked to do it again later you discovered you weren’t capable of reproducing those efforts?

Clairognizance means clear knowing. It’s a psychic ability that has to do with just getting sudden insights and understandings into things. It can also allow some very gifted people with this ability to actually be able to perform actions or tasks which they really have no knowledge of. A great example is a friend of mine. She’s phenomenal with computers and can get them to do almost anything she wants or needs them to do. When you ask her how she did it though, her response is always “I don’t know!”

All of these are psychic abilities and chances are, if you’re the average human being, there is at least one or two in the above that you’ve found yourself doing. These are just a small number of them too! There are many other examples that one could use besides these that could also fall under psychic classification.

Some people would laugh and say, “That’s merely coincidence!” What is coincidence though? According to Wikipedia, a coincidence is the noteworthy alignment of two or more events or circumstances without obvious causal connection. In other words, it is merely a term that a human being thought up in order to be able to explain that which nothing else is capable of explaining.

My psychic development students are not allowed to say or use the word coincidence. I make them strike it from their vocabulary. There is no such thing as coincidences. Everything has an energetical reason in some form or another for happening. For any coincidence that has occurred, an energy somewhere had to be at work helping to draw those experiences together.

PSYCHIC CHILDREN?

Children are among the most psychic individuals you will ever come across. When we are born into this world we are many times fully open and our only way to interact with the new world we have come into is through the psychic senses. Even young children are no strangers to the psychic energies that are active within the world.

· A child who has an imaginary friend, might just really be communicating with a spirit guide.

· A kid that begs you not to go somewhere may be feeling or knowing something which you aren’t aware of in that moment.

· That child that says grandma visited them may actually be telling the truth.

There are countless other examples, but these are the main ones that kids get in trouble for. Parents and society has a way of shutting these abilities off. Many times a child must learn to shut down in order to avoid punishment and harsh words and criticism. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing either as it allows the child to learn to live in and function in the physical world.

It takes a special parent or caretaker to guide children, helping them to stay open while at the same time teaching them how to live in our physical world. Most of the time, believe it or not, it’s better to teach children to shut down and then, later in life, help them to relearn that which they had known all along.

That’s what psychic development classes are mostly about. Relearning that which has always been there, but which was shut down for one reason or another. The difference is we learn to selectively use our abilities and then turn them off when we are finished.

So are you psychic?

Everyone is. You just have to take the time to investigate it and relearn that which has always been.

Soul Loss, and Soul Retrieval Maybe you are struggling to get over a relationship breakup, or you know somebody else who is? Or a bereavement? Or the loss of a home or a job? Or maybe you (or they) are still feeling the wounds and effects of a difficult childhood? Or perhaps it is another traumatic experience, such as bullying at school or at work? Or maybe there is a feeling of never really having been the same after a serious illness or accident. Or maybe there are feelings that do not obviously stem from a particular event; apathy maybe; a lack of focus and enthusiasm; depression; addictive behaviours; low self-esteem. If so, then in shamanic terms, the most likely cause is ‘soul loss’.

The idea of soul loss is central to shamanism. Shamanism is our oldest spiritual practice. It dates back at least 40,000 years, and is probably much older still. It has been practised by all human cultures. What is amazing is that although shamanic communities are scattered across the four corners of the earth, there is a remarkable consistency of belief and practices between them. This was first noticed by the anthropologist Michael Harner(1), who coined the term ‘core shamanism’. One of these core shamanic beliefs is the idea of ‘soul loss’, and the associated shamanic practice of ‘soul retrieval’. This is the idea that part of our soul can literally leave, leaving behind a sense of emptiness and a feeling that ‘something is missing’. The treatment is for a shamanic practitioner to find the missing part and persuade it to come back, and help make the person whole again. The symptoms of soul loss are many. They include:

• a sense of somehow being incomplete; that something is ‘missing’
• feelings of numbness or flatness; of just going through the motions
• feelings of hopelessness, apathy and indifference; like a spark is missing
• a sense of being disconnected from life or what is around you; as if you are living in a dream
• depression, ranging from mild, to moderate, through to severe
• feeling lost, indecisive and aimless
• procrastination; time wasting; or finding it hard to sustain focus or effort
• a lack of confidence and self-belief
• having a strong inner critic who puts you down and is always on your back • phobias and anxieties; fearfulness
• missing memories (where have the memories gone, and why did they go?)
• addictions or other compulsive behaviours and/or thought patterns
• a sense of never having really recovered from a past event
• repeatedly returning to a person, location or behaviour that is unhealthy for you
• inability to move on from an issue or event, despite efforts to do so
• finding it hard to (re)invest in the future with enthusiasm and optimism
• feelings of grief, fear, anger or rage that you cannot seem to shake off
• the feeling that soul retrieval may help

That last one may seem strange, but in fact it is surprisingly common. This is because, prior to the birth of so-called ‘civilisation’ from around 4,000BC to the present day, all humans practised shamanism. In fact, they did not just practice it (in the way that in the modern world we may, or may not, ‘practice’ a religion or spiritual path, as if it is an ‘optional extra’). People lived and breathed shamanism; it was central to them. The vast, vast majority of your ancestors, going back literally thousands upon thousands of generations, knew the symptoms of soul loss. So nowadays, although we have lost the conscious knowledge of it, we still have an ancestral, unconscious, inner knowing that that is what is wrong. And so, for many people it immediately feels right when it is explained to them(2).

Physically, the symptoms of soul loss can be pretty much anything. Fatigue is very common, and a weakened immune system. But literally, soul loss can be behind pretty much any illness. We are talking about being in an energetically weakened, run-down state; it is not surprising then that things may start to go wrong in the physical body too.

There are some obvious causes of the soul part leaving. Traditionally soul loss was said to result from things such as accidents, serious illnesses, shocks and other traumatic events. However there are other causes too…

• abuse; not just sexual, but also physical and mental/emotional too
• prolonged anxiety or fear
• loss and grief
• shame and guilt
• prolonged pain
• giving your soul to another; codependent relationships
• domination by another person, or a group (everything from peer pressure to religious cults)
• allowing your soul to be stolen by another, or others
• substance abuse and other addictions (allowing your soul to be stolen by the object of the addiction)
• not being true to oneself; disowning or disallowing parts of oneself

Sometimes soul loss occurs when we do not feel safe, say in the case of a traumatic event. Part of us then leaves, as it does not feel it is safe to stay. Sometimes the part is literally shocked out of the body. It may then still be stuck in the time and place of the traumatic event, literally hanging around it like a ghost (this is why people describe flashbacks, or persistent thoughts or images; part of them is literally still stuck back there). Prolonged situations such as fear, guilt or pain can have a similar effect. Part of us eventually leaves because it could no longer cope (we may say we felt part of us died). Sometimes we give our soul (our power) over to a loved one, and when they die or leave, we feel our heart has been wrenched out. Other times somebody (or even a substance like alcohol or drugs) may ‘steal’ our soul, by undermining and gradually overpowering us; dominating us and keeping us in chains and tied to them.

Maybe the most subtle (but no less damaging) cause of soul loss is actually what we do to ourselves. Maybe as a child there was something you were repeatedly told never to do, such as: be angry; or upset; or cry; or be noisy; or clever; or naughty; or answer back; or any number of things. As a child, what are you going to do with that bit of you? If you are repeatedly criticised or rejected, punished or shamed if you do this thing, then in order to survive, you have to block this part of you off. We do this, usually unconsciously, by adopting what is known as an introject (from the Latin intro- = into and -iectin = throwing): something from somebody else that is thrown into us. So an introject is a ‘should’ or a ‘shouldn’t’, a ‘must’ or a ‘must not’ that we adopt and take on board. Psychotherapists would say that this part is then repressed, and that through the process of therapy, this part can be recovered and reintegrated. As a therapist myself, I certainly know this to be true. However shamanism says that sometimes something altogether more startling happens. Sometimes that part is not just repressed, but actually leaves altogether. The (soul) part literally splits of and goes. In this case, there will be only so far that therapy can go. This is when shamanism comes into it’s own.

So, where does the soul part go? As I said earlier, sometimes it is stuck back in the time period and place of the trauma. Most times though, the soul part drifts further, and literally goes off into realms beyond this one. Sometimes parts flee to safe places in these other realms. And sometimes they gravitated to places of hopelessness and despair. What they need, and what the person they belong to needs, is to come back. This is where soul retrieval comes in. In a soul retrieval the skilled shamanic practitioner leaves their own body and enters into shamanic reality. This is usually (but not always) done to the accompaniment of a shamanic drum or rattle. Working with the help of their power animal(s) and other guides, the practitioner finds the soul part of the person they are journeying for and attempts to persuade it to return. If it agrees to return, the part is then gathered up, brought back to this reality and then literally blown back into the person’s body.

The actual process of doing a soul retrieval can seem surprisingly quick. This is because it is happening outside of the time scale of this reality. So the whole process can be done in an hour session. In many cases one session alone is enough. Sometimes a series of sessions are needed, when soul parts are reluctant to return, or when multiple parts have been lost. Sometimes too other shamanic healing is necessary. As well as soul loss we can suffer power loss, and very often it is necessary to do a power retrieval for the person too, usually in the form of what is known as a power animal. Also, when soul parts leave, they leave holes in us. Other things, ‘intrusions’ can then get in, and need to be removed. The process of removing these is generally known as shamanic extraction.

So too, where there are strong introjects, the may need to be worked with. It is all very well for bringing somebody’s soul part back for them. But if the soul part is a part of themselves that they have strong ‘shoulds’ or ‘should nots’ about, then if the part is to stay then these will need to be addressed (and this is often where counselling or psychotherapy can pick up the thread again).

The other thing that sometimes happens is that the soul part returns, but the body is still in shock. Shamanism recognises different bits of us, each having different needs. Put simply here, we are made up of body, soul and spirit. What Body needs is to feel safe. So sometimes as well as soul loss there is ‘body shock’, in which case what is needed is a ‘body re-patterning’ journey too.

The effects of a good shamanistic soul retrieval (and other shamanic healing) can be dramatic or subtle. But either way, the effects are very often profound. People often describe it as a turning point, not always at the time, but usually in looking back. They experience a return of their self esteem; their optimism and motivation; health may improve; addictions and compulsions fade away. Just think about what it would be like to have a whole and intact soul, with no bits knocked out, and you will get the picture.

Guilt is not a healthy thing to keep bottled up within you as you go through life, whether you think you have to hold on to it or not. Guilt is often the result of a refusal to accept that we make mistakes, we will all have failures and no one is immune to these facts of life.

It is also important to know that guilt does not have to be negative.

Guilt can create positive outcomes when it is used to correct something in your life that has gone wrong, or improve something that was lacking.

Nevertheless, there will always be some instances where unresolved guilt will remain. It is at this point that the guilt can begin to consume thoughts, damage lives and cause real harm.

Learning how to let go of the guilt that has been weighing you down can be amazingly uplifting, leaving you feeling immensely better when that burden is removed.

The first question you must ask is why you feel guilty.

In order to rid yourself of the guilt, you must first understand exactly what it is you are feeling guilty about.

There are some basic causes of guilt that could be causing the problem:

* You are not accepted by others or think the thoughts you’re having are wrong.

* You feel responsible for something bad that has happened to you or someone else.

* You feel obligated to do something for someone for the wrong reasons.

* You never did something or said something important to someone and now you’ll never get the chance.

Resolving your guilt.

After determining the root cause of your guilty feelings, you must face and accept the situation that you are feeling guilty about. Living with the guilt consuming you is harmful to you and everyone around you.

There are things you can do to help you work through these feelings:

1. The past is past, it can not be undone, and it should be left alone. We will all do something wrong, but beating yourself up over doing something wrong won’t make it any different or right; the past can’t be changed. It is important to do what you can to make amends for the wrongdoing, learn what you can from the situation, make a commitment not to repeat the mistake, and then let it go and move forward. That’s all that can be done about a mistake that has already been made.

2. Problems should be fixed. If there is an ongoing problem that is creating the guilt, that problem should be corrected. Correcting the problem is the primary thing that should be done, it is important to realize that continuing to feel guilty in this situation will not be beneficial to anyone. Work to overcome and correct the situation, and then let the guilt go knowing that you have done the best you can to set things right.

3. Give yourself permission to be human. You may have set your expectations for yourself so high that you fail to meet them, so you need to bring your expectations back down to realistic levels for yourself. You should always strive to do your best, and if you have done your best, then it’s time to allow yourself to be human and stop feeling guilty.

The fastest way to raise your frequency is to do the job you were designed to do. You were designed to love. You were designed to radiate Love unconditionally. Now before you go, “Oh THAT again. I’ve tried loving unconditionally, and it is impossible,” you need to understand that what I’m saying is different. What I’m saying is that you are to love, plain and simple. Not love somebody. Not love something. Just to love. Okay, in a sense, you are to love somebody or something, but not in the ordinary sense. You are simply to love God.

You were designed to be a receiver and transmitter of Life Force, also known as Love. The ability to do that is hard-wired into your body-mind. But we have largely forgotten how that is designed to work, and confuse the act of loving with our personal relationships with other human beings. Loving is rightly an impersonal act. Now, I’m not saying that there can’t be a personal aspect to loving–of course there can and is. However, one of the things that stops us from doing what we are designed to do is that we tend to tie the act of loving–or not loving–into a recipient, or lack thereof.

There actually always is a recipient of your Love–it’s just probably a little different than you may have considered before. You were designed to participate in a mighty cycle of Love, issuing from God, returning to God. If you’ve read Recreating Eden, you know that there is a masculine aspect of God, and a feminine aspect. When you radiate Love, you are participating in the larger action of “Father God” (masculine, radiating aspect) loving “Mother God” (feminine, receiving aspect). Both at the macro level of God–God the Source–and the personal level–God In You, there is a radiation of Love and a receiving of Love between the masculine and feminine aspects. This is how it is designed to work: Source radiates, the feminine within you receives, the masculine within you radiates, Source receives and the cycle continues. The more dynamically the feminine and masculine within you participate in the larger cycle of God loving God, the higher your frequency and the more paradisiacal your life is.

In the process, the experience of Love in all Creation is increased. This is where the personal aspect of loving comes in. When you understand that God is in everyone and everything, you know that as you radiate Love unconditionally, and hold an entity in your consciousness, their experience of the Love increases. The only Love that we experience is of God, not of another person. When we feel Love from someone else–or think we do–it’s merely that the radiance from God In Them is catalyzing a greater experience of attunement with God In Us. It is attuning us with the mighty flow of Love that God radiates constantly. There is no Love but the Love of God, loving God.

Practically speaking, what we are called to do is to radiate Love the way that Source does. We are to radiate it whether or not we feel it is being received (it always is–just not necessarily consciously received by the object of your focus). We are called to radiate Love whether or not we believe someone “deserves” it: God always “deserves” it! Remember, you are not actually loving a person or a thing–you are loving God. You may feel fondness for the particular configuration of form that God has created in another person, but as for Love, you never get Love from outside yourself–when you experience Love, you are only experiencing the movement of Life Force through you. You are participating in the cycle of Love from God, to God.

We are called to radiate Love even when we feel we don’t we have it in us. But here’s a cool thing to know: while you can’t radiate Love unless you first receive it, the intention to radiate it will initiate the flow of Love to you from Source. As you may remember from Recreating Eden, the Adam in you–the inner masculine–may be holding the inner feminine–Eve–out of alignment. The easiest way to turn this around is for Adam to decide to consciously radiate Love. The act of doing so aligns both aspects of you the way that they were designed to be. When you engage your masculine, radiant aspect in the job it was designed for, that automatically puts Eve in the receptive position, and Adam in the radiating position. And the rest is as natural as breathing. Because it’s what you were designed to do, you were born knowing how to Love. Neat system, don’t you think?!

Yes, we are to radiate Love no matter what. Bad mood? Don’t feel like loving? The fastest way to raise your frequency upward out of less-than-joy–and to experience more Love, yourself–is to do what you are designed to do! We are to be as consistent and persistent at radiating Love as is God. What if God got in a snit and withheld Life Force/Love because we weren’t consciously open to receive it? The Whole of Creation would collapse! What if God withheld Life Force/Love because we weren’t aware or appreciating it? What if God withheld Life Force/Love because we were being jerks? Thankfully, God radiates Love impersonally, unfailingly, unconditionally. Love radiates from God whether we appreciate it or are unaware of it. Love radiates from Source regardless of what we do–or don’t do. When we intend to Love in the same constant and impersonal way as does God, the Source, and do so more and more, our journey home to the higher frequencies where ease and joy are the norms, is expedited exponentially. Indeed, unconditional radiance is the key to everything.

So, the next time someone cuts you off in traffic and you’re tempted to go into reverse polarity, withhold Love, and perhaps even actively focus the opposite of Love in the offender’s direction, understand that you are truly removing yourself from the flow of Life Force and Love, reducing your own frequency (and thus, the frequency of the Whole), and you are removing yourself from the cycle of God loving God that you were designed to facilitate. In such a situation, you are doing the exact opposite of what is needed–whenever there is disharmony, what is needed is not judgment and reaction, what is needed is more Love. I understand that it is human nature (or rather, the ego’s and reptilian brain’s nature) to react defensively and unlovingly, but our very job as human beings, and certainly, as re-creators of Eden, is to listen to and obey God In Us, ignore the serpent, and continue radiating Love, no matter what! If you should happen to be pulled out of alignment by your ego, just take a deep breath, let your ego know you’re on to it, tell it to be silent, center yourself in the Truth, align with your Spirit, and radiate Love as you were intended to do. You’ll be surprised how wonderful it feels–after all, it’s what you were designed for!

Under stress, our body adapts to deal with physical stress from gravity, straining, lifting, slips and jars, and dietary stress, mental stress, lack of sleep, exercise and proper nutrition.

Sometimes we are subjected to a combination of stresses beyond what the body can adjust to. When this occurs, our bodies actually shut down or turn off certain parts of the body in an effort to protect other parts. This is very similar to the breaker switches in our house shutting off if the wiring is overloaded.

These systems that shut down can involve nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic drainage, muscles, and actual organs. Here we can see that if these systems are left turned off for an extended time, malfunctions and disease can occur in the tissues involved. This could result in stomach problems, kidney malfunctions, heart disorders, pain, headaches, back pain, etc. This depends entirely on the tissues involved. Along with these systems being turned off, muscles are blocked and do not work.

Health comes from inside the body. It is important here to note that as long as all parts of the body are working normally, good health will be the end result.

Each muscle pulling in one direction in the body is counter balanced by another muscle on the other side pulling the opposite way. If one muscle pulls with 90 pounds of pressure, the muscle that opposes it will also pull with 90 pounds of pressure. As long as all muscles are balanced, our spine is held erect in its normal position. We have good posture, level hips, level shoulders, and level head.

If a muscle is blocked off or turned off in the system, abnormal structure and function occur. The muscle involvement allows the Applied Kinesiology doctor to determine there is a problem in the system and when it is turned on and returned to normal. Applied Kinesiology (AK) provides us the ability to evaluate function of the body system.

Since nerves control body functions, including all the major systems, it is essential that a doctor be able to evaluate all the nerves in the body. AK gives a doctor the added ability to evaluate specific function of the nervous system that controls organs, glands, and other tissues.

THERAPY LOCALIZATION

During the course of your examination, the AK doctor may test a muscle and then have you place a finger or hand in a certain spot. S/he will then re-test the same muscle; sometimes there will be a remarkable change in its apparent strength. What the doctor is doing is using your hand to stimulate nerve receptors, or otherwise add or subtract energy in different centers. By doing so, one is able to obtain additional information that might indicate abnormal function. These tests, along with other clinical findings, help indicate the most effective treatment.

STRUCTURAL BALANCE

Muscles support joints and give them stability. If the muscles of one side of the knee or lower back are not functioning properly, there may be joint instability. This may cause joint fatigue, pain, easy injury, and – eventually – joint disease. Nearly all joint of the body can be involved, including the entire spine, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, and ankles.
