Introduction Question – For what purpose should we develop our psychic side? Answer – • To become our own Light and know as much as we can about our own Light, and also about The Light Which Is Everywhere. • Intuition and Light guides us to what is right for us, and also acts as a defence mechanism against the negativity of those around us. • Working with Light and developing your intuition can help you to learn when people are trying to negatively affect your own Light. • Working closely with your own Light, you will begin to peel back the layers of yourself like an onion, to find your true self. • Using your psychic side, you can access the Energy World where all kinds of Beings live, such as Angels and Elementals. • The more you develop your psychic side and your connection to your own Light, your own vibration will raise, and if everyone undertook this journey, it would raise the Energy of planet Earth. • Light or Energy comes from the Sun and all of life on Earth depends upon this Life Force Energy.
Light As A Restoration Tool The negative energy attacks begin in childhood, with the parents and family members aiming their own negative energy at open minded children, and the children absorb it like a sponge because they trust that the adult knows more about life than they do. It is only when the child grows into an adult that they realize they have loads of issues to deal with as a result of their parents. Adults and life can be disgusting, and both will leave a big dirty imprint on you – if you don’t do something about it. Use the Light as a Restoration Tool and a Defence Mechanism against the rubbish which comes from other people and life’s events that you do not have to have an emotional reaction to, if you don’t want to. To use Light as a Restoration Tool, simply visualize images of the issues you want healing, and mentally send white Light to these images – see a bubble of pure white Light with the small image in the centre and watch the image be broken down and eventually dissolve. You can also give your ‘negative feelings’ to Archangel Michael – he will cleanse your aura of your bad feelings – you can do this throughout the day – hand over the feelings which you cannot cope with to Michael. Fill up with Light, and use your intuition to heal yourself. Drain away the negative energy from yourself regularly – every night. When you start your
day, surround yourself with White Light. This will protect you against harm from other’s thoughts and feelings.
Fill up with and surrender to The Light Which Is Everywhere. Breathe it in.
The Present Moment The Infinite Moment • •
• • •
• • •
Time only exists NOW. The past and future are never actually Here and Now. They don’t really exist. If you think about it, the past and the future are never really here for you – you can’t live in the past and the future never comes. If you think about it, we can only actually ever really be alive in the Present Moment…the Infinite Moment…because it is all there is… Time is an illusion, and in the Energy dimensions, everything is happening NOW. Everything, including our past and future exists simultaneously in the present moment. This is why recalling past lives is possible, and why seeing your future can be done. It’s all happening NOW. Knowledge of your Soul’s entire journey is available to you NOW. It’s not stored away somewhere, it’s consciousness is very much alive in you right NOW. This includes knowledge of your past lives on Earth and also what life was like in Heaven for you, amongst other things. The Infinite Moment is one moment spread out all over the Universe. (Hence why time travel might be possible.) God says ‘Here I Am’. He never says ‘There I Was’ or ‘There I Will Be’. The Light goes hand in hand with living in The Present Moment or The Infinite Moment. If you want to start physically seeing The Light, living in the present will help to make this possible. The Present is literally ALL There Is. Try and do the following exercise with no inner dialogue, with an empty mind…
Exercise – ‘The Infinite Moment’ Feel your body as it sits on the chair. Feel the fabric of the chair. Listen to what is going on around you. Feel the air on your skin as you breathe… Taste whatever you can taste. Look around you and see colour and form
See a fiery amber circle below your belly button – this is your powerhouse of energy, and see it glow. See a yellow chord come from the amber circle and travel off to the sun, and pierce into the sun – you are a strand of life from the sun, and have this umbilical chord of life force energy or Light from the sun running right through you. Feel that sunlight travel into your amber circle and up your body. This exercise is designed to reconnect you to your senses and also the world around you – by cutting down the mind chatter in the individual.
The Observer/The Watcher – God’s Consciousness •
•
•
•
•
Observe your thoughts, and you will find you are actually capable of separating a part of yourself from your discursive (chatty) mind. Watch the thoughts arise in your mind, and you will be horrified at the absolute junk we let cross our minds. Buddhists call this the ‘monkey mind’, where the mind is racing, thinking all sorts, and nobody is actually ruling the roost. Observe your physical body. Observing your physical body will let you know that you obviously have a part which is clearly very separate from your very own physical body. Anything that you can watch, you are separate from. Watch the world, and you will find that you are separate from everything in it. Go on, watch your breath, observe your heart beat. Any areas of tension, ask the Light to heal it, and take the tension away. “Light, please take all the pain away.” Observe your feelings. You are not your feelings, because you can distance yourself from them. Watch them, observe them, what are they saying to you? Remember, you are separate from your thoughts, feelings and body. Observe them, watch the outer world. Build up this Watcher inside your consciousness who doesn’t blame or judge or try to pin down facts and figures. It doesn’t impart it’s will upon people and places, it simply and non-judgementally observes all of Creation, without the inner monologue to go hand in hand with it. In every person, there is a Watcher, and the more you practice at being a Watcher (watch your own feelings and thoughts and outside world) you will be entwined with the Mind of God. It is there in every one of us, existing in the Present and Infinite moment, observing all matter. God is the impartial, non-judgemental observer who is residing quietly in the mind of each person.
•
Watch the world and yourself, without ripping it to pieces with your inner monologue. God doesn’t think and judge because he does not need to acquire knowledge – he doesn’t know everything, he IS everything, he is alive in every single thing. You can be like this!
The One Self •
•
•
At a level of consciousness, all of our Energy or Light Selves are as One Energy. Collectively they form one Energy, spread out over the entire Universe. Our physical bodies are separate but our Energy bodies live in a world of Light where everything is joined; there is no separation in the world of Light. So be careful of the thoughts and feelings you send out because they are alive in the Light, and might create something for you. Be careful you are not subject to the thoughts and feelings of others as well. The One Self contains all knowledge and lives and breathes in the Spiritual Universe and we are each part and parcel of this Universal Self. Connect and ask the One Self (God) what it wants and who it is? The Angels serve and help the One Self (God) which is in all Beings, but there are many different aspects of the One Self so it splits up and goes into each Soul. Some people refer to a Universal Mind which contains all of the minds of humanity, dead and living, and also the minds of Angels. You can access this sea of energy with your mind for inspiration and help, it actually exists everywhere.
Interconnectedness With All Creation •
• •
Once you realize that we all have a Light Body and these all live in a big swarm of Light which fills the Universe you might realize that even though we are all different, we all have a Light Body which is connected to and lives in the Light Which Is Everywhere. We all are made out of the same One Light which is everywhere. At a certain level, the One Self seems colourless – it is the glue which binds us all together , it is for everyone.
The Light • • • • • •
The Light which I see everywhere comes from the Sun. It is white and filled with tiny dots and it is always moving, it never seems still. Sometimes it swirls into people, giving them Energy. Even just thinking about Light will have a positive affect on you. Light gives life to everything, and when Light leaves, objects perish. Breathe in the pure White Sun’s Light, it exists everywhere.
• • • •
See a Body of Light around your physical body, and wrapped around your internal physical organs. The Light gives life to all things on Earth, when there is a lack of Light, a whole array of imbalances may occur in the person. To maintain a healthy demeanour we need to take in Light. Without sunlight, we die.
The Divine Absolute •
•
The Divine Absolute is God, and this energy is spread out over all creation, accessible in the Present moment. One moment lit up by Energy, living across all the universe. The Energy of God, breathe it in, through the top of your head. Within the Light is an intelligence, the intelligence which moves the Light. Connect to the mind within the Light, connect, connect, connect…just think about Light…
Philosophy • • • •
“Wisest is she who knows that she doesn’t know.” “Know thyself”. “He who comes to rest will rest forever.” “The present moment is lit, because it is in the presence of the Absolute.”
Meditation & Stillness •
• •
•
•
Meditate upon the fact that in the centre of your heart there is the centre of your very Being, and it lives in the present moment – the eternal now – the timeless energy which is in all creation, and which has always and will always exist. Step into the here and now, and go into your quiet heart chakra. Breathe in what is around you, the forms, objects, colours and forms – there really is nothing else, this is all there is at this moment, so drink in your current reality, and become a master of your Self and your thoughts and feelings. When you do this exercise you will come to a natural stop and begin to fully appreciate the current surroundings where you are. The more you practice this exercise the more you will actually expand your Energy and you might begin to see Energy and communicate with Angels and Guides – as these live in the present moment as well. Earth and Heaven co-exist simultaneously as one big ball of Energy, one is in a timeless state and one is in time. The present moment is the bridge between the two – the key…ultimately, time is actually
•
an illusion, as is ageing and death. We try so hard to find the Angels and Heaven, when they are actually trying to find us – with all that mind chatter it’s difficult, so step into the moment with a bright, clear mind – illuminated in the bright One Lighted Mind… Try the following popular exercise every morning and throughout the day, on the bus, watching TV, in queues, anywhere…
Who Am I? Inwardly pose the question, ‘Who am I?’, Answer to yourself, ‘I am not my body.’ Reflect upon the meaning of this phrase. Inwardly pose the question, ‘Who am I?’, Answer to yourself, ‘I am not my emotions.’ Reflect upon the meaning of this phrase. Inwardly pose the question, ‘Who am I?’, Answer to yourself, ‘I am not my thoughts.’ Reflect on the meaning of this. Inwardly pose the question, ‘Who am I?’, Answer to yourself, ‘I am a centre of pure consciousness.’ Reflect on the meaning of this. (‘Meditation’ – Naomi Ozaniec)
Consciousness & Awareness •
•
•
Whatever you look at, whatever you give your attention to, you become it, in a sense. You become that which you observe whether it be inside you or outside you – in the world. Blend your self with what is going on around you – complete selfless merging of the inner and outer worlds using the tools of observation and nonjudgement, and a silent mind…when possible!!! We don’t like what our awareness experiences, as there is pain, so we rationalise what we experience because innately we know that pain is wrong, and feels foreign. We have to explain and rationalize and find an answer and ‘sort it all out’. We use an excessive amount of mind chatter to talk to ourselves and discuss what we are experiencing because we have difficulty
•
•
•
in merging with what is going on in the outside world – because it is not pain-free. Our limitless consciousness and awareness becomes inverted, because we worry about everything. This is where the ego develops, but this is what is supposed to happen, so we each have an internal self, which is separate from the outer world…this is where magic happens, where creativity surges!!! Thus we create something unique and special to give to the world – we each have to travel inwards to created and develop our own unique gift which we came to give to our fellow human beings…there is a process… If the world was filled with love and acceptance all the time, my consciousness and awareness would be open and limitless. This open and love filled state can be induced by having a lack of judgement inside yourself, and also connecting to the Light which is everywhere, and realizing we are all just different forms of the Light. Being in the here and now with your thoughts will expand and raise your consciousness and awareness. Connect with the Light and you will start healing yourself and transcending the physical.
The 3 Minds In Taoism, there are three minds, or energy centres which are of prime importance within the individual. These are – the Three Tan Tiens • The Upper Tan Tien (Head area) – Upper Consciousness • The Middle Tan Tien (Heart area) – Conscious Self • The Lower Tan Tien (Stomach Area) – Subconcsious Self • In exercises which involve healing, the student aims to gather Light or Chi in the Lower tan tien centre which is just below the naval. This centre acts as a storage centre where Light can be stored up for when it is needed, and then it will be distributed around the body. • Too much time is spent in the two top tan tiens, with mindless daydreaming and inner monologues, which are pointless in nature. Bring your energy down to the lower tan tien, live from here and you will preserve energy. Exercise – ‘Ball of Light’ See a white ball of light in the centre of your forehead, send it down to your heart centre. See a white light at your heart centre and send it down to the lower tan tien which is situated just below the naval. Say, several times “All excessive energy I bring down here”, and pat just below the naval several times. This will bring your concentration down to Earth and get rid of excessive Chi or Light within the body. Now see all three centres alive with a sphere of silver white light shining bright at each centre.
Energy All Is Energy • •
• • •
• • •
All Energy emanates from the big glowing wondrous life force giver which is the Sun. The Centre of our Universe, the Old Sun. Us humans take in, and depend upon that energy which the Sun radiates to us on Earth. All of life on Earth depends upon the energy which the Sun charges us with. All life would die without the Sun’s Light. Each and every one of us is energetically connected to the Sun’s Soul or Spirit which is the Great White Light and it fills everywhere! The White Light of the Sun is literally everywhere. The Sun has an Energy counterpart which gives out pure white Light – and this white Light prevails throughout the Universe. On planet Earth white light lives and breathes everywhere in every place. There is nowhere on Earth where white this Light ceases to be. The Sun’s Spiritual Energy, the Sun’s Soul, is in every single atom, giving it life, sustaining it and making it live and grow. Nurturing all of nature, helping the plants to flourish and grow. We need the Sun’s Light, and should take it in every day. All hail the Sun. We worshipped the Sun a long time ago because we realised how important it was to the human’s wellbeing on Earth. Many years ago, we worshipped the Sun, we connected to it, we danced for it, we bathed in it’s Light. We took in it’s Energy and taught children to do the same.
Exercise – ‘The Ember Trails’ See a glowing circle of amber just below your belly button and see a trail of burning light shoot out and travel to the Sun, in a long line, see ‘a blazing trail’ go straight across the starry universe to the centre of burning Energy (the Sun). Blend with the Fire of the Sun and feel it energizing you. Take in the Light of the Sun. Burn away your troubles. State, “We are each connected to the Energy of the Sun.”
Our Energy Body •
•
The Energy Body responds to the thoughts and feelings we have – and also to the company we keep. Listen to your thoughts and feelings- we each have an inbuilt pain detector which guides us through life – if something feels good – it is your Energy and your Soul screaming ‘Yes!’ to you. Following a path of pleasure throughout the day will increase the ‘health factor’ within your whole Being, on physical and Energetic

levels. Bad things come your way – try to resist them as much as you can, I know this is hard, and sometimes we are actually destined to fall. However, when we reject badness, the strength mustered up within us is actually saying ‘No!’ to badness – this emphatically makes our Light grow stronger. Be a part of the One Light of Creation – it loves you! All sorts affect our Energy, diet, exercise and fresh air are paramount and herbs can have excellent health benefits for both physical and energetic bodies. Healing is vital for keeping One’s Energy in tip top condition – so get those crystals and meditation CDs out and give yourself some healing! If you ask your crystals to heal you they will, say, “take out the bad and bring in the new.” They can detoxify your entire Being, physical and energetic. Protecting the Energy Body is essential to maintaining a healthy overall condition. Ask Archangel Michael and Metatron to do this, say, “Archangel Michael and Metatron can you place a protective dome around my entire Being for all eternity, and clean it when it gets messy, thank you.” The Energy body is tied into the physical body and the two have an interconnectedness which goes way beyond any human understanding. Visualize each bodily organ glowing with white light, in and around it, for renewed health – trust me, your physical body LOVES to take in the white light – the Energy and Physical bodies have a deep relationship. The Energy body is not human – even though it is closely entwined with what we call the human body – essentially it is closer to the Angelic nature – and I do strongly believe that ALL Beings were created equal – as Angels, or something like this.
The Upper Chakras – Heaven • • • •
The Upper Chakras start with the Throat Chakra, and then the Third Eye chakra, the Crown Chakra, the Causal Chakra and the Stellar Gateway chakra which is about twelve inches above the head. Visualizing these chakras as flowers which have been opened will open the chakras. Some people like to visualize doors being opened. If you are going into a stressful situation you can visualize these ‘doors’ or ‘flowers’ closing, in order to protect you from picking up stressful energy from outside yourself. Archangels can charge your chakras and also cleanse and heal them. You can ask any Archangel to heal your chakra and then
• •
visualize a coloured circle or ‘orb’ of light where your chakra is located. For example, I like to visualize a blue circle above my head, this is the colour of Archangel Michael. Sometimes I visualize an orange circle several inches above my head and this is me invoking Archangel Metatron to heal my Stellar Gateway chakra. Whatever colour you see is fine because it happens to be the colour you need at that particular moment in time. The Angels will heal you with the correct Ray of colour, it will be different for most people, sometimes it might be the same. You can open up these Higher chakras and visualize beams of light coming from them and travelling to a large Orb of Light out in the universe and then mentally affirm, “I am connecting to the Source”. You can visualize beams of light coming from each chakra and send these beams off to the centre of the universe where there is a black sphere which contains all of the knowledge of the universe.
The Lower Chakras – Earth •
•
A common exercise is to see yourself as being upside down with treelike roots extending upwards from the soles of your feet and off upwards into the white glittery starry cosmos; then see a single white line dangling gently from the centre of your head and travelling down all the way to the centre of the Earth where there is a sphere of golden mother earth energy. Suck up gold via the head chord and glittery white via the treelike roots and up the feet and legs. This will blend well the energy of heaven and earth, masculine and feminine within the individual. At the centre of planet earth there is a sphere which is sometimes seen as a golden sphere, sometimes a bright green sphere and sometimes it is called Hollow Earth. All of the knowledge about planet earth resides within this sphere. Opening up your Earth star chakra and visualizing a chord travelling down and piercing into this sphere will ground you to your very own magical Earth energy – all of the potential you have.
The Heart Chakra – The Bridge • • •
At the centre of the heart chakra is where all of the true knowledge about an individual resides. I see this as a small dot at the centre of my heart chakra. Connecting to the Energy realm around us where Angels live does depend upon the opening and activation of this small dot which lives at the centre of each heart chakra.

The 21 Minor chakras There are seven major chakras in the human body. The chakras are situated along a line of energy which runs from the top of the head (crown chakra) to the base of the spine (base chakra). This line is called the ‘sushumna’ or the ‘hara line’, and it runs along the body’s spinal column. The seven major chakras are widely recognised and are part and parcel of many holistic therapy techniques. However, in addition to the major chakras, there are an infinite number of minor chakras distributed around the body. There are 21 minor chakras which are widely used and accepted by professional healers worldwide. It is also widely accepted however, that nobody knows the definite number of minor chakras. Major chakras can stretch as far as 10 – 12 cms from their centre, and can reach a diameter of around 12 – 14 cms. The minor chakras usually have a diameter of approximately 7 – 8 cms. NAME & No OF DESCRIPTION & POSITION CHAKRAS EYES – 2 There is a minor chakra behind each eye. It is extremely beneficial to stimulate each chakra from the back of the head. Stimulation of these two chakras will help to improve vision, and will also help to stimulate psychic ability. EARS – 2 There is a minor chakra situated on each cheekbone, just in front of the ears. The chakras here help to promote balance within the individual. Stimulating these chakras will also help to release nervous tension in the face.
CLAVICLE – 1
BREASTS – 2
THYMUS – 1
SOLAR PLEXUS (MINOR) – 1
SPLEEN – 2
LIVER – 1
STOMACH – 1
OVERIES/GONADS –2
This chakra is located just below the throat. This chakra is related to the windpipes and bronchial tubes. Stimulating this chakra would be beneficial for anyone who has bronchitis, asthma or any breathing problems. There is a minor chakra located just above each breast. These chakras are related to responsibility, and also to nutrition. Whatever we take into our bodies, we must take responsibility for. The thymus gland is extremely important to the entire nervous system, and this is why it has its own chakra. Stimulating this minor chakra will help to strengthen the body’s defences and will improve the performance of the thymus gland. Emotionally, this minor chakra encourages feelings of security within our hearts. The minor solar plexus chakra is found just below the major solar plexus chakra. Stimulating this minor chakra will have a positive effect upon the pancreas, which in turn promotes blood circulation and also the quality of blood. This chakra also helps us to understand who we are in the universe, as this chakra governs the mental aspect of the lower body. Situated on the left of the body, there are two chakras underneath the breast. The chakras are located one above the other. These chakras are concerned with the removal and taking in of toxins. These chakras will help us to find out what is good and bad for us, especially regarding the digestive system. The liver is the largest organ within our bodies. Stimulating this chakra will have a positive effect upon the liver. The liver produces new chemicals which balance the glands of the endocrine system. The liver is also vital regarding the removal of toxins and waste from the body. This minor chakra helps to keep the stomach healthy, and also promotes the health of the large intestine. Stimulating this chakra will help the digestive process. Each ovary and gonad has its own chakra. Any emotions related to sexuality will be positively effected when these chakras are stimulated. Any
PALMS – 2
KNEES – 2
SOLES OF THE FEET – 2
fertility problems will also be helped. There is a chakra on each palm, and these are both connected to the heart chakra. The palm chakras are used in healing. Life-force energy/healing energy enters through the crown, travels to the heart, and then down to the palms, where it leaves and enters the healing subject. There is a chakra located on each knee. These chakras are connected to the base chakra. They are frequently stimulated in order to access more of the earth’s energy. These chakras can also be stimulated when a person needs to be more grounded. There is a chakra located on the sole of each foot. Any unwanted energy is let out of the body via the feet and put into mother earth, where it is transformed into positive energy. The soles of the feet are vital regarding grounding an individual to the earth. It is dangerous to do any form of spiritual/healing work without being grounded first. Earth’s energy is taken up into the body through the chakras on the soles of the feet, this is how grounding takes place. Stimulation of these chakras will help the overall body to be in good health.
In addition to the recognised and accepted 21 minor chakras, there are others which are located on the back of the body. Stimulating certain minor chakras from the back of the body has a better effect than stimulating them from the front. In particular, the eyes, knees and the elbows benefit from being stimulated via the back of the body. NAME & No DESCRIPTION & POSITION OF CHAKRAS EYES – 2 There is a minor chakra situated behind each eye. Stimulating these chakras from the back of the head will help to bring about a more positive way of relating to the world outside. Inside, we react to what we see in the outside world. These chakras can help to restore any imbalances regarding our views and relationships with everything in the outside world. Stimulating these chakras will also help us to see the truth in all things, connecting us to the reality of everything, inside and outside us. SHOULDERS – There is one chakra located on each shoulder. These 2 chakras are connected to the crown chakra. The left
ELBOWS – 2
THIGHS – 2
KNEES – 2
chakra is yin and the right one is yang. Our shoulders have a lot to do with shouldering responsibility, and how we can cope with it. Taking on too much responsibility, and ignoring our responsibilities can both cause imbalances to our inner being and also to our manifested life. Stimulating these chakras will help us to handle our responsibilities better. There is a chakra located on each elbow. Stimulation of these chakras will help people who have diabetes. The chakras here are also related to relationships and personal boundaries. It is important to give to others, especially when in a relationship. However, it is important that we do not give up the boundaries that we have put up in order to achieve our own goals. In all relationships, balance is the key. We should respect each other’s boundaries. The chakras located on the thighs are related to adequacy. There is one chakra located on each thigh. Stimulating these chakras will improve self belief. Any weight problems, or mobility problems will benefit from having the thigh charkas stimulated. The knee chakras are connected to the base chakra. The back of the knee chakras are sometimes associated with fear. Stimulating the chakras at the knees can help to release all kinds of fear from the individual. Knees are also associated with flexibility. If there is an area of life where flexibility is needed, stimulating the knee chakras can help. At a physical level, stimulating the knee chakras can help the knee joints.
The Transpersonal Chakras •
•
The activation of transpersonal chakras is vital, when you feel the need to open up these more advanced chakras. Many people know about the seven chakras, but more often than not the other chakras are omitted, as one needs to be ideally on a spiritual journey when opening up the transpersonal chakras. The Stellar Gateway and The Soul Star chakras are similar to portals, through which extremely high frequency light can enter into our systems. The Stellar Gateway acts as a barometer and measures the amount of this high frequency light we can manage. The Soul Star is the filter through which the light is measured and flows. The
• •
•
Soul Star chakra also helps us to access The Akashic Records and also our personal library within The Akashic Records. The Causal Chakra is the centre and it accepts the dosages of light that the upper two chakras deliver to it, and this helps in the higher activations of the crown, brow and the throat chakras. The Ascending Heart Chakra and also The Sacred Heart Chakra actually store and house the essence of Universal Compassion and also Universal Love. They actually together form a triad via an etheric link with The Heart Chakra. These three chakras together are known as The Etheric Heart. The triad’s purpose is to facilitate communication between our soul, the Universal Heart and also the Universal Mind. The Etheric Heart triad is not stationary, it moves as it needs to in the Etheric Field of our body.
The Layers Of The Aura Everything in existence has an aura, from inanimate objects to humans, animals and plant life. Our aura is formed at the exact moment of conception. Auras usually extend up to several feet around a person’s physical body. Auras are ideally oval or egg shaped. However, if there are any unbalances within the individual, a person’s aura may take on a different shape or become lob sided. Sometimes, auras can be huge, extending several metres around the person, in a massive egg/oval shape. There have been accounts of incredibly spiritual people having auras that stretch for miles! Auras are filled with energy of all of the colours of the rainbow and are filled with light. In order to feel happy, healthy and protected, we should work at filling our auras with lots of light, and visualize there being a hard outer layer through which nothing negative can penetrate. Placing the reiki symbols into our aura will heal any negativity. Auras contain everything we need. They contain information about our life purpose in this life time and also information regarding all of our previous lives. It contains information on any karmic debt that we have to settle. The aura is vital in order to keep us alive and healthy. If we are unhealthy, it is likely that we will have a sluggish aura, and therefore lack vital energy. If we become ill, it is our aura that works hard at replenishing us, urging us towards better health. Some people have reached such a high state of being that they can refrain from taking in physical food, and live off the nourishment which the aura has to offer. However, this can only be done when there are no toxins whatsoever in the body. Refraining from food and water should not be practiced by somebody who is unsupervised by a professional. Regular healing and meditation can help
to heal any tears, leaks, rips and/or holes that might exist in our aura. Fresh air and a healthy diet will strengthen our aura. Harmful toxins, such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, pesticides (found in some fruit and vegetables) and drugs will weaken our aura, possibly making us feel vulnerable to the outside world. Some people who have weak auras can become prey to others who have stronger auras, and ultimately this can mean that the person with the weaker aura might end up being taken advantage of. Substance abusers sometimes have many tears, rips and/or holes in their aura because of the damage to the person’s physical body and wellbeing. People who have been abused sometimes have holes in their aura, through which they project their consciousness, so that they can actually leave their body. This is where the saying ‘besides themselves with worry’ comes from. In an attempt to escape a troubling situation, we can actually literally be ‘besides ourselves with worry’. Healing practices such as reiki heals our aura and therefore heals all of the different levels of our being. Regular intake of reiki energy will promote health on all levels of our being. Each auric layer is connected to each chakra. The first auric layer (The Etheric Body) is closest to the physical body and is connected to the first chakra (The Base/Root Chakra), and so on. The Etheric Body (First Layer) This layer is closest to the physical body. It is usually the layer which clairvoyants learn to see first. The word ‘ether’ describes the state between energy and matter. The etheric body is composed of lots of fine lines and sometimes appears as a gleaming web of light beams. It has the same structure as the physical body and mimics of all of the bodies organs. All of the chakras emanating from The Etheric Body are the same colour. This layer serves as a kind of switchboard between the soul and the physical body. The Emotional Body (Second Layer) This layer of the aura is associated with feelings. Its consistency is of a fluid nature. Depending on the feelings of the person, this aura layer can produce dazzling, amazing colours or dark mundane patches. This layer is strongly connected to the second chakra/sacral chakra. The Mental Body (Third Layer) This layer is concerned with mental processes and thoughts. This layer will extend and become brighter when the person is concentrating on something. This layer also contains all of our thoughts and our ideas. This auric layer is strongly connected to the third chakra/the solar plexus
chakra. Creative people are likely to have an amazingly bright third auric layer. Sometimes pictures and imagery regarding the person’s thoughts will be apparent in the person’s aura. This is how some clairvoyants can accurately give an account of what is occurring in their client’s lives at the given time. One needs to be careful that they do not let their mental body overrule their emotional body. The mental body doesn’t care about feelings, and will sometimes want to repeat the same pattern over and over again, simply for the sake of using the mental faculties. Some people can live in a ‘what if’ land, conjuring up images of what they would like to experience. This is actually a healthy thing to do, to a certain extent, but if this is done to an excessive degree, the person can become removed from their feelings, and possibly from reality. The Astral Level (Fourth Layer) At this level, each chakra is filled with the rose pink colour of love. On the astral level, loving people’s hearts are filled with rose pink light and love. This layer is associated with the heart, emotions, love and relationships. When people form relationships, sometimes cords emenate from the person’s heart chakra that can connect to their loved one. These cords exist on many levels of the aura, and sometimes the cords might need to be severed in order to help a person recover from a relationship. For extremely strong or longstanding relationships, there can be several cords growing out of a person’s energy field. Lots of interaction takes place between people at the astral level. The Etheric Template Body (Fifth Layer) This layer is called The Etheric Template Body because everything that is in The Etheric Body (First Layer) exists in The Etheric Template Body (The Fifth Layer) but in its perfect, blueprint, template form. If damage in the first layer needs repairing, the Etheric Template Body will be needed to restore the damage, as it contains the blueprint for The Etheric Body (The First Level). At this level, sound creates matter. This level contains all of the shapes and forms which exist in the physical realm. The Celestial Body (Sixth Layer) We can reach this level through meditation. This is the level where we can find spiritual bliss. This level is concerned with being one with the light of the universe, and feeling no separation from it. Fusing our personal self with the One Self (The source of Reiki) is part and parcel of this auric layer. Unconditional love also has a lot o do with The Celestial Body. The Ketheric Template or Causal Body (Seventh Layer)
This level contains a golden grid structure of all of the chakras and the physical body. This layer consists of pulsating golden shimmering light, which vibrates at an extremely high and fast level. Some clairvoyants describe this layer as being like a golden egg. This is the strongest and most resilient auric layer and protects the individual from outside damage. This level also contains the energy which flows up and down our spine. The golden energy runs up and down the hara line (energetic spinal column) and nourishes the chakras, meridians and physical body as it does so. Some say the golden light which encases us contains the divine mind. This auric layer is the last one that exists on the Spiritual Plane. The Akashic records can be accessed via this auric layer. The Akashic records contain every single detail about your life (and previous and future lives). The Cosmic Plane This plane is associated with the two chakras which are placed above the crown chakra. The eighth chakra is called The Soul Star and the ninth chakra is called The Stellar Gateway. Both of these two chakras are like portals through which extremely high frequency light enters into our being. The Stellar Gateway actually measures the amount of light that our being can cope with. The Soul Star chakra helps us to access our own personal library within the akashic records. The Soul Star chakra also transmits the exact amount of high frequency healing light that is needed from The Stellar Gateway into our auric field.
The Meridians Some people ask, “Why are the Reiki hand positions in the places they are?”. The hand positions were designed to treat the major and minor chakras and also the meridians. The meridians are part and parcel of Chinese medicine and have been for thousands of years. The Chinese meridian system is a key feature of acupuncture, Qi Gong, Shiatsu, Tai Chi and many other healing practices. The Meridian System is also part of general medicinal practices throughout china, and much of the Eastern World. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, did not base his Reiki system on the East’s chakra system or the West’s endocrine system. Instead, he based the Reiki system on Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qi Gong. This is why the hand positions are in the places they are. The meridians run up and down the body, and it is their function to carry life force energy to wherever it is needed in the human body. THE NADIS, SUSHUMNA, IDA & PINGALA In Eastern culture the meridians are called ‘nadis’. The nadis surround each chakra, and carry life force energy to and from the chakras. The nadis distribute life force energy around the body. In some texts, the nadis
are said to be the exact equivalent of the meridians, but in others, the nadis are said to be of a much finer substance. There are said to be over seventy two thousand nadis on the human body. Fourteen of these have been named. Arguably, the most important of these is ‘The Sushumna’. The Sushumna is sometimes referred to as ‘The Hara Line’ in other texts. The Sushumna is a nadi which runs from the base of the spine to the top of the head, along the spinal column, and the body’s major chakras emanate from it. Yogis in ancient India undertook rigorous meditative practices in order to cleanse the Sushumna and unblock it and then direct energy into it. They did this in order to help them find enlightenment. To the left of the Sushumna is a nadi which is called ‘The Ida’, and to the right of the Sushumna is a nadi called ‘The Pingala’. The Ida is ruled by the moon and carries lunar energy through the body. The Pingala is ruled by the sun and carries solar energy through the body. Breathing exercises such as ‘Nadi Sodhana’, which work at concealing each nostril in turn, whilst breathing in through the unconcealed nostril, and then breathing out through the other nostril balances the lunar/solar, feminine/masculine, feelings/thoughts, inspiration/logic and spiritual/earthy sides to human nature. THE MERIDIANS The meridians/nadis are like tubes which run up and down the body. The physical body has veins which are like tubes that carry blood to wherever it is needed in the body. The energy body has meridians which are like tubes that carry life force energy to wherever it is needed in the body. If the veins in the physical body have blockages, the person’s health might suffer. It is exactly the same principle regarding the energy body. The meridians transport life force energy to wherever it needs to go in the human’s energy body. If there is a blockage in a meridian, then life force energy will have trouble getting to its destination, thus effecting the individual’s health. For a healthy, holistic state of being, the meridians need to be kept clear, so that life force energy is free to circulate around our bodies and reach the parts of us which need healing the most. There are twelve major meridians, and these are widely used in Chinese medicine and many healing practices and holistic therapies. Each meridian is partly under the skin, and partly on top of the skin. One end of the meridian is sitting beneath the skin, whilst the other end is on the surface of the skin on the feet or hands. The meridians receive life force energy from the organs and the chakras and also from the tips of the meridians located on the feet and hand surfaces. The meridians also receive energy when they are stimulated by the use of reiki, acupuncture, qi gong, shiatsu, reflexology and many other healing practices. Energy
can pass from one meridian to another. This can be beneficial when another meridian needs topping up with life force energy. ALL ILNESS HAS ITS ORIGINS IN THE ENERGY BODY. KEEP THE ENERGY BODY HEALTHY, AND YOUR PHYSICAL BODY WILL REMAIN HEALTHY. YIN AND YANG The philosophy of yin and yang is like a large thread running throughout all of Chinese culture. Many of the values and traditions of China are based around the concept of yin and yang. Yin and Yang were first mentioned in the famous Chinese oracle book ‘The I Ching’, which when translated means, ‘The Book Of Changes’. Yin and Yang are both opposites and yet complimentary to one another. In some texts yin and yang are described as being like a man and a woman dancing together in harmony. They might be opposites, but they compliment each other beautifully, and bring out the best in each other. The concept of yin and yang shows up in our bodies as cold (yin) and warm (yang); ascending (yang) and descending (yin); taking in energy (yin) and giving out energy (yang). The meridians are grouped together in two categories. One is yang and the other is yin. The body must have a balance of yin and yang in order to be healthy. Chinese medicine and healing practices aim to provide a stabilising effect upon the body by treating the meridians and bringing the body back into a state of perfect equilibrium. THE BODY’S ORGANS AND THE CORRESPONDING ELEMENTS In Chinese culture and healing and medicinal practices, there are five elements. Everything in creation is said to be governed by a particular element. Certain parts of the body are governed by a particular element as well. These elements are; earth, metal, fire, wood and water. The organs of our body are governed by and work well with the following elements: • • • • •
Earth – stomach, spleen, pancreas Fire – heart, small intestine Wood – liver, gallbladder Metal – lungs, large intestine Water – kidney, bladder
THE TWELVE MERIDIANS AND THE CORRESPONDING ELEMENTS Each meridian is connected to a pair of organs and an element:
1. The Lung Meridian – Yin/Metal 2. The Large Intestine Meridian – Yang/Metal 3. The Small Intestine Meridian – Yang/Fire 4. The Stomach Meridian – Yang/Earth 5. The Bladder Meridian – Yang/Water 6. The Gallbladder Meridian – Yang/Wood 7. The Kidney Meridian – Yin/Water 8. The Spleen-pancreas Meridian – Yin/Earth 9. The Liver Meridian – Yin/Wood 10. The Heart Meridian – Yin/Fire 11. The Heart Constrictor Meridian – Yin/Fire 12. The Triple-warmer Meridian – Yang/Fire In addition to the twelve meridians, which govern particular organs, there are an additional two meridians. These are called ‘The Governor Vessel’ and ‘The Conception Vessel’. The Governor Vessel extends from the perineum, running along the centre of the back, over the head and finishing on the top lip. The Conception Vessel extends from the bottom lip, running down the front of the body, finishing at the perineum. These two meridians are sometimes described as being reservoirs of energy that can be drawn upon whenever there is a deficiency. An exercise called ‘The Microcosmic Orbit’ promotes the amount and circulation of life force energy within the individual.
Exercises Breathing • • •
Breathe with the Air Angels. Visualize their pointy noses and see their featureless faces, they come from the planet which lives at the centre of planet earth. Watch out for circles coming your way, circles of colour to assist you, just breathe in the angelic light. Angels often communicate with us in this way and will either come to us as an ‘orb’ of energy or they will send us a circle of light to take in and this will heal us.
Protection Archangel Michael can calm us down, soothing the nerves and quiet the mind. He can help us to detach from troublesome situations, feelings, thoughts, people etc …
Healing
You can also ask for healing and visualize a blue healing light entering into you via the crown chakra. Visualize yourself breathing in the blue light and feel it filling your entire body, soothing away negativity, relaxing you and calming your fears. Feel the Blue Ray flow through every chakra, meridian and organ and visualize the Blue Ray leave your body via the insoles of your feet and enter the Earth. As the Blue Ray leaves you and enters the Earth feel any vulnerability, fear and negativity leave you. Feel yourself being filled up with courage and protection from Archangel Michael. As with all of the Archangels you can ask them to heal others, and also buildings, situations and rooms. Visualize the Blue Ray completely filling the room or building and know that every nook and cranny is being healed of negativity. Say Thank You for the healing that has taken place.
Archangel Michael’s Sword Archangel Michael carries a sword with him and he uses it to cut away negativity from all people and situations. If there are certain people or situations, in the past or the present, that are causing you any negativity, simply visualize a white sword coming out of you and going towards the person/situation which is causing you negativity. Now visualize Michael’s sword cut through a cord which is connecting you to the person/situation in one motion. Feel the negativity being drained out of you and being placed with love, care and protection. Visualize yourself being completely enveloped in Michael’s Blue Ray of Protection and thank Michael for his help.
Archangel Michael’s Blue Cloak Michael has a blue cloak which he wears and he places this cloak over almost anything in order to protect it from negativity. You can ask Michael to place his blue cloak over yourself, loved ones, vehicles, buildings, animals, and anything else you can think of. When asking for help visualize the blue cloak being draped over the chosen subject, covering it completely. If it is a person, visualize the cloak’s hood falling completely over the entire face, covering it and also covering the feet. Feel the Divine Energy of Archangel Michael protecting and healing the person, animal or object. Say thank you to Michael for his help.
Archangel Michael’s Blue Auric Bubble Michael uses a blue Auric Bubble which transmutes all negativity within and around the person into positive energy. As energy leaves the aura, the blue Auric Bubble will transform the energy into positive energy, so the person is not adding to the negativity of the World. Using the Auric Bubble will protect you against all negativity which exists inside and outside yourself. Visualize yourself or another inside a large blue Auric Bubble, and
ask Archangel Michael to heal all of the negativity inside your/another’s aura, changing it into positivity for all eternity. The Blue Auric Bubble will transform any energy entering or leaving the aura into positivity. This is great because any negativity from people around you will be transformed into positive energy if it reaches your aura.

• • •
Archangels and Angels can be very friendly and informal at times, but you should still be polite – just be yourself. The Archangels and Angels have great senses of humour. They can make us laugh at times and this is probably because we need a laugh or we need to release energy. You can talk to the Archangels and Angels how you wish. This might change depending upon the circumstances of your life and yourself. Sometimes you might need a friend, sometimes a teacher, a protector, a guide, a healer or something else. Always be respectful. Do not swear or use bad language. The Archangels and Angels are very practical. Don’t be surprised if you receive answers to your questions back from them and they are very practical. Always say Thank You, and please – this is very important. If we say Thank You, it means that we have received the help we need because we are saying Thank You for it.

Free Will – Who Is in Charge? • • • •
•
•
We all have free will. We each have a mind which is in sync with the Creator of the Universe. We can explore planet Earth using this mind. We can explore Heaven using this mind. We can surrender our free will to God whenever we like, or we can simply ask God to help us on our way, collaborating our human will with God’s will. I personally think we each have a will, a set of desires given to us before we are born, and to ignore this ‘will’ inside of us is wrong and would simply do us more harm than good. So, it is not as simple as you think, this surrendering the individual human free will to God. You must ask yourself, for what purpose would you wish to do this? Personally, I like to think of me and God as two separate entities who are similar to each other and can come together now and again and create magic. Remember that at our base level there is actually no difference between God’s Energy and your own Energy, but in being a human being you are fulfilling God’s desire – which is to have an equal entity with whom he can have a relationship. I do also like sometimes to do an exercise where I surrender my will to God’s will, just out of sheer curiosity, to see what advice I might gain from allowing myself to feel the presence of God’s wisdom regarding my life on Earth. I mentally ask for God’s opinion. Go ahead and try it- God is not as scary as you might think!
Knowing Your Own Mind • •
You are supposed to have your very own mind, to do with whatever you deem fit. Some people say that on the Other Side one does not own a mind.
• • • •
•
You will never again experience this having a separate mind from everyone else around you. Go inwards and know your own mind, you might find an aspect of God that is waiting for you to try it out! Go into your mind and then bring out your God. A lot of creative people say that their creations come from God, and many people who have been deemed geniuses overwhelmed the world with spiritual knowledge. Shakespeare for example, not only shone at literary works he gave us a glimpse of the Eternal. To be creative is to be like God. Go inwards and bring out what is already inside you, waiting for you to create it. To be creative is to be Godly, and will bring about spiritual knowledge and experience.
Down To Earth • • •
•
I remember Archangel Michael saying to me once that if people were truly happy then they would not be so obsessed with the notion of the Other Side. Please do not let it come as a surprise that Angels and God actually want us to do some living! We humans do think about things way too much, and to live a simple life, being grateful and appreciating love and beauty in all forms is said to be a treasured conquest. Simplify, simplify, simplify. Easier said than done with our hectic western lives though! When we spend time in nature and we look at the flowers and all that surrounds us, we do not know it, but we are actually looking directly into Heaven. Heaven is the Energy which gives life to nature – and it is here on Earth. It is the Energy Body of planet Earth.
Common Sense •
• •
I remember Archangel Gabriel stressing the importance of common sense to me once, when we were discussing the use of the psychic mind. Gabriel told me that we should always use our own common sense. If something seems too good to be true it probably is. There is a VERY big difference between what is POSSIBLE for your life on earth and what EXACTLY is going to take place for your life on earth. Frequently people receive images and guidance from the angels and the angels are showing us what COULD happen for us, but people feel emotionally very let down by heaven and the angels and guides when their so called ‘guidance’ does not bring to them what was promised.
• •
The angels are plugged into your imagination, and what they show you is sometimes either what you want to happen or what might happen – it isn’t necessarily what is definitely going to HAPPEN… Keep your feet on the ground.
God’s Will •
• • •
• • •
I read somewhere once that God doesn’t have a will. If someone has a will, they are fuelled by desire, as really ‘will’ is a fancy way of saying ‘want’! I read that God cannot possibly have a will of his own, as he is perfect, and doesn’t want or need anything. I quite liked this idea, and then I began to learn from Angels… Angels work at serving God. They help to create and make manifest his Divine Will on Earth. Angels also work at helping make manifest human’s desires on Earth if the human’s desires are in sync with God’s desires, which can be extremely difficult to achieve. If someone has a will, they must have a motivation, a burning fuel, a desire. If God has a will, why does he have a will, from what part of himself does he emanate desire? To desire something, you must be lacking in something, what is God lacking? Is it union with another ? Well, that’s what I sometimes think. God needs us as much as we need him, and so balance is restored in the universe, a relationship of equals. Humans and God and Angels are equal, there is no corporate ladder of rungs to ascend up. Humans, God, Angels – we are all cut from the same cloth, so ALL of our will’s/desires matter in fact. We have God’s will for us and the human’s will which is derived from years upon the earth. Go back to God’s will, every time. Work at it, intend it – and do it with your thoughts and feelings – your very power.
Exercise – “Aligning With God’s Power.” Embrace God’s Power with your body. Feel God’s power in your Energy. Blend with the power of God – that creative aspect in all human beings. I greet my own reservoir of creative power – my Godliness. I am the Creator and also the Created – God and human. “I have my God.”
