life purpose

In my humble opinion, karma is kind of like spots or blemishes on you, and can drastically hinder your spiritual development. How? Because negative karma creates blocks, it ties up your light and your energy, and can affect how you perceive things. In some spiritual communities it is defined as, “energy / consciousness in action.” Every thought, word, feeling, action, and deed that you send out into the Universe will return to you, according to the law of the Universe.

The law of karma is exact, and states that whatever energy is sent out into the Universe will then travel around, gather more of the same, and return back to the sender either as positive or negative karma. Sometimes the return of karma is instantaneous and other times it is not. Because of this it is essential that we learn to properly balance any negative karma we may have consciously or unconsciously made throughout this lifetime or any previous lifetimes. One way to do this is through the path of initiation.

We are all being initiated, or tested, everyday. Many of these tests are the return of karma and deal with everyday things that happen in our lives. Some tests have to do with balancing negative karma made from lifetimes ago and some deal with recent events. Their purpose is to test and strengthen your soul and help you to master a virtue. So, who is giving us these tests? Sometimes it is your Higher Self compelling you to deal with situations that you have neglected or been consciously avoiding. And, other times these tests are given to you by an Ascended Master. It is very important to remember that the purpose of any test is to help you make progress on the spiritual path and that you are never given more than you are capable of handling.

Now, how then can we go about balancing this negative karma?

There are 3 ways that you can do this.

1. Enduring Your Karma: This method of balancing your karma is pretty straight forward. You simply let your negative karma come back to you naturally and deal with the consequences. Most people will choose to balance their karma this way, and it will usually involve a certain amount of struggle or hardship.

2. Service to Life: This method involves reaching out to others and going the extra mile. Helping a sick friend, or giving an elderly stranger your seat on the bus. Or, perhaps you choose to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or homeless shelter. The list goes on and on, and all of these actions create positive karma that will help to balance any negative karma created recently or in any past lifetimes.

3. Transmutation with the Violet Flame: This method is the easiest and quickest way to balance negative karma. You must ask for the gift of the violet flame from the Ascended Masters. Once given this remarkable gift, you must use it daily to transmute, or change the negative karma into positive karma. Over time, the violet flame works to literally dissolve negative patterns and can help you to obtain mastery over yourself and your surroundings.

After all, your sole purpose while in embodiment on Earth is to raise your consciousness and qualify for ascension back to Source.

If you want to be successful with the Law of Attraction and manifesting you have to learn to love yourself. For me, this is a difficult concept because for my entire life I have always put others first, and I always thought that was an unselfish way to live and even prided myself on it. Now, many years later I have finally realized that this behavior is only prolonging my true happiness, and that I must learn to put myself first if I am ever going to be successful at manifesting my desires. Because, after all of the research that I have done and all of the reading and interpreting I finally discovered the key to it all….and that is self love!

If you do not love yourself you will never be able to manifest your desires, nor will you be able to become your true self, and that means you will never reach the ultimate place of happiness that so many of us are seeking. Why? Because for any of our thoughts to become our reality we must passionately believe them with an unwaivering desire, and if you do not love yourself and truly believe deep down inside that you are worthy and deserving of those desires you will not be successful in your manifesting efforts.

So, it is imperative that we all learn to love ourselves unconditionally and without judgement. Because the longer we continue to put others and their needs first the longer we continue to be out of alignment with our true selves. And, once we become aligned with our true self the Universe will begin to deliver all of our desires to us very quickly. I know this is much easier said than done, but we must all reach a place in our life where we decide to love who we are and accept all that we are without any type of negativity attached to it. Trust me, once you can conquer the self love thing you are well on your way to seeing all of your desires come to fruition.

Everything is energy, even Humans, and energy vibrates at different frequencies.  If your energy is vibrating at a low frequency, then you are attracting into your energy field other low frequency vibrations.  If your energy is vibrating at a high frequency, then you are attracting other high frequency vibrations into your life.  Simple enough, right?  Well, according to my research, in order for the Law of Attraction to begin manifesting your desires, you must learn to raise your vibration.  Our ultimate goal should be to become aligned with Source energy, and in order to do that again, we must raise our vibration.  If we want to start attracting positive people, things and situations into our life then we must raise our vibration.  If you want to manifest abundance in any aspect of your life, be it financial, relationships, career, etc. then you must raise your vibration.  It has been explained to me that all lower level souls vibrate at a low frequency and if you also vibrate at a low frequency, guess what, you are attracting those low level souls into your energy field, or life.  Because remember, like attracts like!

If you want to raise your vibration below are a few examples of easy things you can do on a daily basis to help raise your vibration and keep it there:

1.  Become conscious of your thoughts:

Whenever negative thoughts are starting to occupy your mind all you have to do is stop, and ask yourself, “What am I feeling right now?”  By asking yourself that question you are immediately aware of your thoughts and feelings, and by being more aware you are raising your vibration.

2.  Visualize:

Whenever possible, sit quietly a visualize your desires.  Really think about the little details and characteristics that you want to have in your life.  When you visualize try to imagine that you already have what it is you so desire.  By really feeling the feeling of already obtaining your desire you are instantly attracting that desire into your life.

3.  Meditate Regularly:

Even if you only have 10 – 15 minutes, just take that time to quiet your mind and relax your body.  By doing this daily you will start to crave this time of meditation which will increase your desire to meditate as well.

4.  Be aware of your home environment:

By keeping your home free from clutter, you are also allowing your home to be filled with positive bright white light that evokes love, compassion and kindness.  You can also place some sage in your doorways, or burn incense to clear out those negative entities.

5.  Practice random acts of kindness:

By being kind and helping others it instantly raises your vibration.  When  you are feeling down or sad or angry, immediately shift your thoughts to a loved one.  Maybe give them a call just to say I love you.  By taking the focus off of yourself and placing it on another you are lifting your vibration enormously.

6.  Be altruistic:

When you do practice random acts of kindness make sure you are not expecting anything in return.  That is what altruistic means, to do for others without expecting something in return.  This too is a quick way to raise your vibration and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

7.  Practice compassion and forgiveness:

If someone has upset you, forgive them and wish them well because the more you brew on why they have upset you the more energy you are giving to that negative feeling.  Instead, send love and light to them and clear them from your energy field.  Having compassion for others is another way to raise your vibration.  Try it!

8.  Find something beautiful to appreciate:

Being thankful and grateful is a sure fire way to raise your vibration really quick.  In the mornings when you wake, say out loud or in your head what you are thankful for that day and practice this daily.  Soon, you will be filled with things to be thankful and grateful for.

9.  Read and repeat affirmations daily:

Create some colorful and pretty affirmations and hang them everywhere around your house, work, or car and read and repeat them to yourself daily.  Pretty soon, you won’t even need a reminder to say these easy affirmations it will just be a daily routine.

Well, I hope that helps you understand why it is important to practice raising your vibration daily.  And, if any of you have anything to add please feel free.  I love to hear from you.

Have a blessed day everyone!

The Law of Attraction (LoA) is a powerful, universal law that provides the opportunity to shape our lives and attact our deepest, greatest desires.  This universal law states that you will attract into your life whatever you give your energy, focus, and attention to. There are many different tools for utilizing the LoA, but making a vision board is undoubtedly one of the most powerful tools out there.  When you are creating your vision board be sure to take the time to narrow down your desires and really zone in on the ones that matter to you the most.  

There is power in focusing on the details of how to represent your desires. The process of making those choices sends a very specific and personalized message to the universe about your desires.

Visualization is nearly as powerful as performing the action. When you visualize yourself living in your dream home, your brain trains your body for that reality.

By creating a vision board and placing it in a spot you see every day, you create the opportunity for consistent visualization to train your mind, body, and spirit to manifest your desires.

Let’s try it!  I will post my own personal vision/dream board once it is completed and please feel free to post images of your vision/dream boards as well.  I would love to see them!

Etheric cords are what keep humanity connected. Without these cords we’d all be very singular and the world would be in absolute chaos. Etheric cords manifest from general interaction, love or fear. These cords keep us connected to those around us and our world as a whole. Everyone you meet during your life will connect with you through an etheric cord. Even a tiny interaction between people produces a slim etheric cord.

So what is an etheric cord exactly? Etheric cords look like silvery, floating cords/strings that connect from the etheric (spiritual) body to someone else’s etheric body. The most common place of connection is the solar plexus (top of the abdomen) as this is where the essence of ones self lies although I also quite commonly see etheric cords that run from the third eye chakra (positioned on the forehead) and the heart chakra (middle of the chest). These are cords that have shifted from the solar plexus overtime as two people have established who each other essentially is and their connection lies in the mind or the heart now. The cord can move again as their relationship changes.

Of course most people can’t see these cords but they most certainly effect everyone. Etheric cords promote feelings of empathy, sympathy, love, hate, attachment, connection, fear and loathing. Any feeling you have towards another person is usually transmitted through the etheric cord that connects you (unless you decide to tell them what you feel for them vocally!). This is how we can instinctively tell whether someone we’ve just met likes or dislikes us. Even if they’re being outwardly nice or pleasant to us we’ll still be able to pick up on any underlying feelings they have towards us.

Etheric cords can be strong or weak, thick or thin and bright/sparkly or dull/faded. Whatever feelings are running through these cords determines what they look like. The following are general explanations of why a cord may appear a certain way

Strong: Developed through close relationships such as with your mother, father, child, spouse, lover, long-term best friend or someone from a past life of yours

Weak: developed through interactions with strangers such as a shop assistant, friend of a friend etc. Walking past a stranger in the street shows an interesting reaction…usually a weak cord starts to develop and then dissolve very quickly as the distance becomes further apart. Weak cords are easily broken.

Thick: The thicker the cord the stronger the bond. Shown in people who have intense bonds with each other. e.g. A parent and child who are particularly close, lovers most commonly have very thick etheric cords connecting them and even arch enemies have thick etheric cords. Long-term rivalry and hate between two people causes a thick cord. Thick cords are most commonly associated with a few strong past life connections between two people.

Thin: Shown in a flimsy relationship between two people or one that isn’t strongly connected such as acquaintances, a marriage that is loveless but has no hate or resent in it, sex-only relationships, parent/child relationships that hold no real ground.

Bright/sparkly: These cords are beautiful to see and are very positive. They are present between people who hold deep love, care and understanding for each other. An etheric cord can only be bright and/or sparkly if it is strong and thick. People who are genuinely in love with each other, twin souls and very close parent/child relationships have bright/sparkly cords.

Dull/faded: These cords show negative feelings and distaste between people. Cords can change overtime so a loving, caring couple or friendship can go from initially having a bright/sparkly cord between them to a dull/faded one. Enemies and rivals who have a mutual hate for each other have a strong, dull cord attaching them

As you can see there are a variety of relationships that we come across daily and these all produce cords. Etheric cords transmit feelings so even if there is a weak or thin etheric cord between yourself and someone else, you could be unintentionally picking up some of their energy and feelings. Unexplained negative feelings can all come from complete strangers that we’ve hardly interacted with. This is why everyone needs to learn how to cut etheric cords.

Cutting Etheric Cords

Cutting etheric cords should be practiced by everyone and done regularly. The result of not cutting etheric cords are overwhelming feelings that don’t belong to you or feeling drained. Heath issues can often arise from not cutting cords regularly (Isn’t it funny how people catch the flu through the mere mention of it by someone else)  If you work with people regularly in your job then this is essential. As I mentioned earlier, etheric cords are even produced between strangers so it’d make sense to not have their negativity transmitting to you on a daily basis. Think of it as a daily slothing away of unwanted energies. I mean, do you really need to remain connected to the waiter in the restaurant that you ate at last week and will most likely never see again…no.

Another instance where cords should be cut is when a relationship has ended and needs to be let go of. If you’re wallowing in self-pity over a break up or have feelings of resent, revenge and forgiveness then some good old cord cutting needs to be done. These cords can be quite strong and thick so sometimes it can take a while for them to be properly severed. It is an idea to cut these cords if you are trying to ‘get over’ someone too.

Grief is extremely relevant to etheric cords too. Whether it has to do with a relationship ending or the death of a loved one the feeling is usually the same: a physical pain/ache in the pit of our stomach. This happens when strong or thick etheric cords are being cut and the spiritual body can feel it in the solar plexus chakra. Because the cord is so strong and thick the pain carries through to the physical body.

Cutting everyday cords isn’t painful like cutting strong cords are. The result is usually renewed energy and a feeling of lightness and relief. It is also a very simple exercise to do:

While your in bed at night or when you have a quiet moment visualise your spiritual body and the silver etheric cords extending from it. See if you notice any dull or weak cords present…these are the ones you’ll want to cut. If you can’t see the cords then don’t worry, you’ll still be able to cut them. Now imagine yourself or one of your spirit guides or angels slicing through the unwanted cords swiftly and easily with a sword (the sword can be as ornate or as plain as you’d like as it’s your sword). Watch the cords disintegrate into nothing as they’re cut.

You can protect any positive, healthy cords by simply asking for them to be protected or by asking them to disappear/hold back for a minute or two. Some people recommend cutting cords that belong to yourself and a close person in your life if there are any arguments or negativity present between the two of you at the time but I don’t recommend this at all as it can weaken the cord which eventually leads to a weakened relationship.

Empath’s are highly attuned to the energy and feelings of those around them, and that can be somewhat overwhelming at times.  However, there are some simple techniques that can be done to protect our energy from being penetrated by outside negativities. These techniques are simple and quick and very effective especially if practiced on a regular basis.

In the mornings before you start your day, take a few minutes to sit quietly and take a few deep breaths to bring your awareness to the present.  In your mind, or out loud, say I am releasing any and all energies that are not here for my highest and best good and I send them back to the Universe with love and light.  Take a few more deep breaths while allowing all of the negative energies to flow back to the Universe. Now, in your mind, imagine a beautiful, bright, white ball of light hovering right above your head.  Imagine this beautiful, bright, white ball of light slowly raining down over your body.  Starting with the top of your head, and flowing gently down the sides of your face and down to your neck.  Then, it envelopes your shoulders, back and chest while slowly flowing down your arms, hips and stomach areas.  Imagine it continuing down your legs and encircling the bottoms of your feet creating an unpenetrable bubble like shield of protection.

You are now ready to start your day.  Try to remember to do this every morning and you should start to notice that you are no longer taking on other people’s energies throughout the day.  This also allows you to become more aware of your own thoughts and feelings without having to determine if those feelings are yours or someone elses.

 

 

Well, I have discovered that I am most definitely an Empath because I get so exhausted from taking on other peoples energy throughout the day that I decided to do something about it.  Rather than walking around mad, sad, angry or whatever everyone around me is feeling, I decided to start to clear my energy of all that doesn’t belong to me.  Being an empath has its ups and downs, but for the most part I think of it as a gift.  To be able to feel what someone else is actually going through is spectacular and not everyone has this ability.  So, instead of thinking of it as a curse, I have decided that it is a blessing and a gift that I must take great care of in order to be the best empath that I can possibly be!

 

In addition to being an empath I am also a lightworker.  This means that my primary duty is to wake up the people on this beautiful planet and help them to re-connect with their true Divine spirit.  I am here to help teach Oneness and to help close the separation gap that occurs when people forget that they are spiritual beings having a physical experience rather than the other way around.

This is all farely new information to me, so this is the first time that I have actually shared this information.  I love the idea of having a purpose on this Earth and that it is an important purpose, the purpose of teaching Oneness!  More to come on my newly discovered gifts.  That is all for now.
