Cleansing Breath Meditation

Cleansing Breath Meditation

I learned this meditation when I attended my first Reiki class. My teacher told us if we applied the techniques learned in the class, and did not put them on a library shelf we would heal ourselves and our spiritual path would be greatly accelerated. I went home and practiced the techniques everyday....and I still use them in my life now.

This is one of the most powerful exercises she taught us. It is called Hatsu Rei-Ho in Japanese ~ which means to cleanse the mind with your breath ~ or Cleansing Breath. This exercise will accelerate everything. It is also a wonderful cleansing exercise after you have been in a crowded space or just feel like you need to bring additional life force energy into your being. If you are already attuned to Reiki this exercise will greatly enhance your Reiki channel.

1. Sit comfortably with spine straight.
2. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your two front teeth.
3. Place your hands on your lap palms facing upwards. If you have high blood pressure or heart issues, place your hands down on your lap.
4. Focus your attention on a white ball of light above your head.
5. Calmly breathe in through your nose. As you breathe in, visualize white light from above your head entering your crown chakra, moving down the spine to the Tanden area (just below the belly button ~ sacral chakra area). Hold it for a few seconds.
6. As you hold your breath, visualize the light from the tanden spreading throughout your body. Your body is full of white light.
7. As you exhale, visualize the white light in every cell of your body pushing and emanating out through the skin into your energy fields and out into infinity all around your body
8. Repeat for 2-3 minutes or as long as you like. Breathe the light inside your body and exhale it outside your body.

This exercise will cleanse and expand your being. This is an internal and external exercise. The energy moves in through your being vertically and expands out from your being horizontally. This is a powerful technique that brings a great deal of positive light filled energy into your body ~ I do this for several minutes before my meditations. It clears the mind and prepares your entire energetic system to reach a deeper level of consciousness. ♥ Sabrina

Universal Mirror and Critical People

QUESTION: I have an issue with critical people, Not so much personally, but in how to deal with them. I understand that criticism is generally a reflection of it's "owner", any thoughts on how to help these people? Understanding of course that we all deal with our own things at our own rates, but I do not wish to "block" anyone who is over critical.

HTRYV ANSWER: If you are in a place where you have done a lot of self work, you are very grounded, have a strong energy field and are able to tolerate critical people and not let it bother you, lower your vibration or close your heart then you can become a "Light House" for them and counteract their negativity with something positive to say about the person they are criticizing. You can be a LIGHT of awareness letting them know that words and thoughts travel to the person they are speaking negatively about (especially if it is done with strong emotion) and these negative "thought forms" actually accumulate around the persons energy field. If the person has a weak energy field these negative thought forms can turn into a "psychic attack" and invade the persons energy field making them feel very unbalanced, sickly, confused and overwhelmed. We can also create our own "pyschic attack" towards our self....our own negative, critical thoughts and emotions create havoc within our being and we are the ones doing it to ourselves.  I strongly feel if people "really" knew how powerful they were and had the awareness of how their energy works we would not do a lot of things many of us take part in everyday. Sometimes, we do far more harm than good ~ this is evident with many of our countries leaders. So much hate and negativity is projected to our leaders from the mass consciousness our leaders aren't energetically able to BE the difference we want them to be because WE aren't using our energy/power of intention/love/positivity to help our leaders fulfill what WE want. We spend to much of our energy focusing on what we don't want, spewing pyschic debris everywhere, instead of harnessing our power to create what we do want.  

Aside form being a Light house of awareness ~ you can also BLESS negative, critical people with what they need. Silently in your head, you can say ~ I bless you with positive energy. I bless you with love. I bless you with higher awareness. I bless you with joy. I bless you with beauty. I bless you with patience. I bless you with truth. I bless you with health. I bless you with happiness. Whatever they need, bless them with it. YOU can make a huge difference and everything you bless them with, you also receive. Likewise, if we are blessing people with negativity....well guess what, we create negative energy in our energy fields too.

I highly suggest for each of us to be wise and discerning with our relationships. Choose relationships that are in vibrational resonance, loving and uplifting. At this time on our planet half of us are choosing ascension and the other half are choosing to remain in duality. At any moment those choosing duality can change their mind to do what it is going to take to raise their vibrations and ascend..... you could be the catalyst that gets others to awaken and transcend their negative behavioral patterns. However, do not be attached to the outcome and understand it is not your responsibility ~ it doesn't matter what their choice is as they will have another opportunity for ascension in another 26,000 years. Everyone has the exact same opportunity right now to choose from their own free will how they want to evolve their souls. We can learn through the chaos and fear of duality or we can learn to transcend duality advancing our souls through love, balance and harmony. It's a choice each person must make ~ Father/Mother God will not make the choice for us. 

Also I want to address MIRRORS. It is true that the universe is our mirror but I feel it is very important for people to understand that nothing is an EXACT mirror. There are many reasons for a mirror and I am discovering that many people are willing to accept external reflections as mirrors of internal stuff,  but we often times take the mirror and immediately become our worst critic. Instead of spending the time for self introspection we immediately step into judgment of ourselves and others, viewing the mirror from only one perspective, which is the "exact" behavior the other person demonstrated and then we "own it" as if it is ours.  We need to use discernment with mirrors because mirrors always reflect variations of light and shadow back to us ~ mirrors are multifaceted and need to be addressed as such not just from the immediate superficial value we receive immediately. Oftentimes, it is the "FEELING" these mirrors create in us that needs to be addressed.....did the mirror reflection make you feel inadequate, fearful, disempowered....did it bring up an old childhood wound you have suppressed that needs to be healed? Also, many times the mirror will show us how we are treating ourselves. If we surround ourselves with a lot of critical people ~ perhaps there is a lesson in it for us. Are we being to critical to our self? Do we lack self love? Are we able to set appropriate boundaries and use discernment? We personally may not be critical of others but we may be incredibly critical and harsh to ourselves. ~ Sabrina

Relationship Reflections

The relationships we have with others is oftentimes the relationship we have with ourselves. When we truly love ourselves we will not attract unloving relationships, and more importantly, we certainly will not choose to remain stuck in a toxic situation. We will either heal the imbalance or remove ourselves from the situation all together because we honor our right to be happy, healthy and joyful.

Relationships are not just reflected through people. Relationship could be the one you have with your house, your neighborhood, your town, your pets, your job, your body, your mind, the food you eat, the Earth, the Universe etc....

What relationships need to be addressed in your life that are keeping you from attaining your soul's highest potential? Can they be brought back into balance or do they need to be released?

Each one of us will know in our hearts which relationships have had their time. We can give thanks for the lessons reflected and LOVE OURSELVES enough to choose differently so we can bring ourselves back into alignment with our highest good.

WEEDING THE GARDENS

There was a family that use to live in our neighborhood that had the most pristine house and yard. They were a retired couple and everyday they found JOY in the daily maintenance and upkeep of their home and yard. They decided to sell their house, and move away so they could be closer to their grandchildren.

A gentlemen purchased the house and quickly started renovating the immaculate yard and plush grass ~ digging a large portion of the grass up ~ creating a huge flower bed. Truck fulls of dark, rich soil were hauled in and everyone in the neighborhood was talking about what an incredible garden he was going to create. He worked incredibly hard for months on this garden. Unfortunately, after a 3 month period, his creation was a mess. Weeds had overtaken the garden and he clearly had not taken the time to research the flowers before he planted them. He planted flowers that needed full sun in the shade and flowers that needed to be in the shade in the sun. In addition, he had chosen to put very tall flowers in front of the short flowers which created a very unbalanced, messy flower garden.

Instead of maintaining and balancing the old garden, he decided to create a new garden. Same thing.....he hauled in dirt, dug up another portion of his plush grass and inserted a variety of different plants. He worked very, very, long and hard on his new flower bed. After he completed the garden he went back into his house and hibernated. Once again, the weeds began to overtake his most recent garden because he refused to invest additional time in it. Now he had two flower beds that were a total mess. What once use to be the most well kept home and yard in the neighborhood is now very unruly and overtaken by weeds. As I walked past his home this morning, there he was again with all of his tools creating ANOTHER flower bed ~ instead of cleaning up, and tending to the ones he had already created.

As I went for my walk I started thinking about how we do this as humans. With the best of intentions, we start out on the spiritual path wanting to heal ourselves and get closer to God. We want to experience more peace, beauty, joy and love in our lives. We begin to shift our attitudes and move forward into the higher vibrations. Synchronicities increase and we begin to feel lighter, happier and more connected. But before we know it, we start to notice old behavioral patterns returning and we begin to wonder where we went wrong.

As we gain more LIGHT ~ the weeds get bigger and more noticeable. The LIGHT of GOD will bring forth all of our negative beliefs, thoughts, emotions, subconscious programs, blocks, attachments and addictions out into the open for us to SEE so we can "weed them out" discarding them from our consciousness. But truth be told ~  we don't really want to SEE,we don't really want to do the dirty work of weeding the gardens of our subconscious mind. We would much rather deny the inner weeds (our own inner workings) projecting our distortions onto every one else ~ instead of being honest with ourselves about what we need to clean up in our own energy fields. We are very much like the man and his garden. Instead of weeding out the gardens and maintenencing them we just keep creating new ones making one mess after another ~ revolving in the same repetive patterns lifetime after lifetime.

What weeds do you need to pull from your garden? What do you need to clean up, let go of and weed out of your life so you can renew yourself? We can not renew ourselves without clearing out and letting go of things that no longer serve us. We can not continue to add more and more into our lives thinking it is going to get better ~ that just leads to a bigger mess. 

If we want to create the garden of our dreams ~ a life filled with the Abundance, Beauty, Joy, Peace and Unconditional Love of SPIRIT ~ we are going to have to remain in a constant state of self awareness, diligently working on excavating all of the energetic blocks (weeds) that keep us from creating our highest soul's potential. As we face God ~ we face ourselves. When we deny our egoic distortions, refusing to acknowledge and transcend them, we deny ourselves connection to that which we were seeking in the first place which is a direct, adulterated connection to SOURCE.   Blessings ~ Sabrina
