Love

Love

Send love to anything and everything! It is the most powerful energy and since thoughts are energy, imagining it works!

Think of your heart, the central part of the human body, the only organ that works without any nervous system sitimulation, the heart beats to its own intrinsic rhythm “It dances to the beat of its own drumb”.  It fires off signals of life every 1 – 2seconds, this amazing organ is not only a tool that conducts energy, not only for you and to you, but also conducts it out away from you. Energy is something that moves through things, into things and out of things. The energy that is created within your heart can be moved to other places. So Please send out heart energy in such a way that it touches others.

Just imagine white or pink light or anything else that you feel symbolizes love best and let it surround or fill anything you wish! It feels amazing and it is one of the easiest ways to help anyone you love, family friends, someone you see suffering from a far, animals and even situations.

When heart energy touches someone, it affects them. They have a choice to both receive the energy and take it inside, or allow it to pass through them. Even if it passes through them, it touches them in some way.

So Be Love.. Send Love… Receive Love

Super New Moon in Pisces 2016

Happy New Moon day!

Well this New Moon in Pisces on March 8-9 is not only a Super Moon, meaning it is closest to Earth and so has a stronger effect on the tides and our bodies and emotions, This New Moon is also  first of four eclipses this year…Tonight and tomorrow see’s the  first of three Super Moons in a row, this New Moon eclipse also happens with the Moon at perigee ( the moons closest point to earth in its orbit),  which intensifies its impact on tides, tectonic plates and human beings. Tonight’s  Moon  see’s this Super New Moon in the archetypal waters of Pisces, Ah Pisces the sign of the dreamer, the mystic the artist. During this period we are asked to step into our dream time to reflect, to feel it all, to cleanse it all and draw forth from the collective unconscious and find a new dream that wants to be birthed.

During this solar eclipse prepare yourself to navigate yourself through the energies of the New Super moon in Pisces, as it is the most emotional moon if the year . This eclipse illuminates the hidden light within, and we have to face the reality of who we really are.This solar eclipse will give you the power to dissolve thoughts, ideas and beliefs that are holding you back.

The essence of Pisces is the element- water, water delves into our emotional realm, Pisces connects us with the energy of feminine compassionate, we get a stronger connection to our intuition , we dedicate ourselves to Selfless Service, Unite with the Divine, Dreaming the undreamable and making it a reality and bringing out our Creative side. An important gift of the Pisces sign is our creative imagination, our ability to listen through our imagination to the Earth as well as to other beings.

Because of all the mystical energy around when the Pisces energy is so strong, it’s a wonderful time to work on your intuitive skills. As you align with the energy radiating from the Universe, you attune yourself with high frequency vibrations and this greatly accelerates your spiritual growth. Sit quietly and ask the universe.. What message do you have for me?  it may come to you then, or hours later. It can come as a direct message, a thought a repetitive feeling, watch out for the synchronicities  the universe is giving you, truly open yourself to receiving the gifts of the divine, what thought or idea has been popping into your mind lately???  Gracelessly accept all the divine intervention you get with gratitude.

During an eclipse, the fundamental laws of the universe no longer apply. At the solar eclipse, something is trying to get your attention. So give the reins over to the universe, stop trying to control the outcome of your life and just go with the flow of this Pisces energy. It’s a time for new beginnings, and for us to expect the unexpected. All we need to do is set our intention sit back surrender and enjoy the ride. This is a great time to do activities that heighten our intuition so get that yoga mat out, go out and re connect with nature and meditate, charge those crystals and play around with your tarot deck.

Pisces New Moon energy encourages you to dream and envision a peaceful compassionate world. There is the potential for profound healing for you, send healing energy to the world and anything you feel needs healing and uplifting in your world. If things have been tough recently, ask/pray for some help from the divine source and then let the Magic happen. This total solar eclipse will enable us to see the shadow parts of our personality, giving us the courage to see life and accept reality exactly as it is, allowing too see all the blessings! Let the darkness of the New Moon and eclipse shine light on the shadows parts of your soul and personality., allowing you to see the unconscious destructive behaviours that stop us from shining bright.

As the Sun and Moon align with the Earth ,it opens a powerful cosmic portal to release what is not working and step into who you truly are. Remember as one door closes another one opens, this is the time to truly let go of what has been holding you back, any fear based energy, old attachments, negative thoughts and feelings about yourself and others so that the new life energy that’s been gestating within can begin to grow.

Pisces says that life’s too short and there’s important non-work to do. “Each day listen to your desires and follow them exclusively. That’s the wisdom of flow. Let your imagination run free. Business can take care of itself.

New Moons are always about New Beginnings and taking action steps towards your dreams, and well we all know how much Pisces love to dream, you will experience , if you have not already leading up to this New Moon vivid, crazy and very trippy dreams. Pisces represents our unconscious, subconscious mind, emotional nature, and inherited emotional patterns that keep us prisoner within our own psyche & life and this is highlighted in your dreams, your day dreams and repetitive thoughts and crazy notions you may of been experiencing over the past week and will continue to experience over the next two weeks until we get to the Full moon and Lunar eclipse on March 23rd , 2016. The wishes you make under this New moon  now may indeed be super-powered, New  Moons are potent times, especially if you want to visit the invisible world , forge  alliances with the gods,

The solar eclipse, will use the energy of the  the Moon which is intuition, wordless and irrational to  overpower your creative center and power which is the the Sun.so  make a note of your hunches or your premonitions  today and see what transpires. Play around with tarot or Angel cards, try and guess who is calling before you pick up, tap into the mystical energies that are flowing, have fun, relax and take it all as it comes.

If during this period people from the past or the present appear on the scene, and to behave in inexplicable ways, don’t resist them just understand the cosmic influences this Super New Moon has , and can affect people differently. Some things have surfaced to let you know that it may not be healed like you thought, or a situation or relationship has not quiet taught you what you needed to learn , use the healing energy of Pisces and the New Moon to bring forth change and new beginnings.  Some people may be withdrawn and lethargic and some may be energised and over the top, just ride the magical Pisces wave and have a little giggle and let it go.

“As the Ocean tides ebb and flow, the inner rhythms of your feelings move in harmony to this flow. Spiritual Waters nourish the parts within that are dry, empty or are withering away”

Yay it’s Friday, my last day of the working week!!! And today as the moon is in Capricorn it

The Moon in Capricorn is a wonderful time to process things and to plan for the future. Dealing with serious emotions is easier than usual. Strategizing is highly recommended.

The Moon is in the Balsamic Phase, which means it’s time to let go of the past – let it crumble.

~ Child ~

This card signifies that a child is affecting some aspect of your question. This could be your own child, your desire for a child, a young family member, or your present or future work in helping children.Have children been on your mind lately? If so, this card is proof that whatever you’ve been considering is valid. This includes spending more time with children, and looking into areas of employment related to young ones.

See your need to play, have fun, and honor your inner child. Perhaps you will play with your own children or grandchildren. Or, you might enjoy having fun with another adult or doing work that involves helping children.

Take some time to ask your inner child, ” How do you feel?” and “What would you like to do?” Plan an afternoon where you take your inner child on an outing, doing things that allow your playful side to emerge. Swing and slide at the park. Take an afternoon nap. Draw on the sidewalk with chart. Or build sandcastle .

~ Your life purpose involves helping children

~ Be as a child,  Pay attention to your inner child

~  A child in Heaven is saying, “I love you.”

~ Pregnancy or adoption might be a part of your life.

Feed your Solar Plexus

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

“Open your Solar Plexus Chakra and embrace your core self!”  One way of healing and balancing your solar plexus is by your daily diet.

  

Get in touch with your hunger gauge:

Often, we lose sight of our innate sense of physical hunger and responding to our bodies’ physical cues to eat. Often we can confuse what drives us to eat, like emotional hunger  with actual hunger. At times we may under or over eat or forget to eat at all without even realizing it. Be reconnecting with yourself and your internal power of the Solar plexus you can tap into the internal rhythm to eat, and eating regularly. So before stuffing into that delicious burrito at mid morning snack rate your hunger, write a food journal she how full you feel after each meal you have, look for patterns in your diet, document what types of food you have and how long they sustain your energy for.  If you find yourself “stuffed” after a meal, you may have inundated your solar plexus and not to mention your digestive system and can  place an additional burden on it to process. Aim for about 80% fullness, and if you can try some light exercise to help get the blood flow moving along with your solar plexus.

Schedule regular eating times:

You may want to start by first creating a regular eating schedule. Some people benefit from 3 square meals a day and some people from 4-6 small meals a day, scheduling regular eating times helps retrain yourself to get in touch with your eating patterns. having 3 big meals ( 300 – 450  calories ) with 2 small snacks ( 100 – 150 calories) helps us to maintain our blood sugar, and therefore, gives more energy. this said it depends on your nutritional needs, weather you are active, wanting to loose weight or gain it,  6 foot tall or require special diet requirements, seek a profession for advice when calculating how many calories you need,and never drop below basil metabolic rate.Feeding yourself more regularly will ensure that you have the fuel you need to keep going without succumbing to cravings or dips in energy.

Carbohydrates:

The three lower chakras connect to the energy of the trio of macronutrients , with the solar plexus resonating with carbohydrates, the sacral chakra flows with fats and the root chakra anchoring  proteins. The key to balancing this chakra is with the right amount  and right carbohydrates, such as wholegrain breads,  brown rice and pasta. See whole grain foods rather than  processed foods have not been stripped of essential nutrients our body needs they also have a lower GI and don’t spike our blood glucose levels , giving us a high than a crashing feeling after we eat. Whilst choosing the right carbohydrate, the fiber content of the product is very important marker of how much sustained energy the product will provide, If a food is high in fiber, you will receive adequate amounts of energy over time and if it is to low in fiber and high in simple sugars, your energy will be erratic , as i mentioned before your energy will initially  be very high but then it will plummet. So remember if you eat too little carbohydrates we do not equip the solar plexus with the energy it needs to have momentum and direction and if we have to many carbs we bombard and tax our solar plexus .

Yellow coloured Foods:

To achieve and maintain a A healthy, high vibrational solar plexus, this chakra vibrates at a frequency similar to the colour yellow. Therefore, yellow foods provide the vibrational rate needed to help balance this chakra. Examples include lemons, yellow bell pepper and fresh corn . Bananas, sunflower seeds, pumpkin, dairy such as cheese and yogurt, turmeric, cumin, bread, pasta ( wholegrain of course) , flax and ginger. 

Tips to remember –

  • Get in touch with hunger. Most people don’t really know what hunger feels like
  • Rate your hunger before and after eating to tap into how well you are maintaining your fuel reserves.
  • Know when to start and stop eating.
  • Don’t stuff yourself. You know that saying ‘full as a goog’? You do not want to be that
  • Know which foods give you energy and also know which foods drain your energy away
  • Eat regularly according to your body’s needs, NOT the clock on the wall.
  • Aim for about 80% fullness
  • The goal for a healthy solar plexus chakra is to eat foods that are balanced so that you can be balanced – for example, fruits, nuts, whole grains, legumes, and vegetables.
  • Yellow foods usually contain relatively high levels of plant compounds antioxidants like lutein which protects cells against an attack from the effects of too much energy in the body and overactive metabolism.
  • Include in your diet yellow coloured foods such as – Lemons, yellow capsicum,  fresh corn ,Bananas, mints- peppermint spearmint , sunflower seeds, pumpkin, dairy such as cheese and yogurt, turmeric, cumin, bread, pasta ( wholegrain of course) , flax and ginger.

Solar Plexus Chakra

Published on by andycandypants1 Comment

This is the one chakra I have to constantly balance and re-balance in order to keep it open. people like me who struggle with balancing their solar plexus tend to struggle between feeling very powerful and self-assured to feeling worthless and hesitant.

Do any of these sound like you?

  • irritable bowel issues
  • constipation
  • weight struggles (either over or underweight)
  • binge eating
  • addictions
  • diabetes
  • self-worth issues
  • stomach ulcers
  • reflux issues
  • hepatitis
  • gallstones
  • pancreatitis

If you repeatedly suffer from any of these conditions, then it is likely your solar plexus is un balanced, so let me give you a quick rundown of the solar plexus chakra and what it affects and how you can rebalance it.

The third Chakra or the solar plexus chakra, is located between the navel and the region of the stomach just in the seat of your gut. As with the other chakras, it extends out in front of you, and behind you. It is bright and glows yellow like the sun.  As is synonymous with the core of your being, the gift of this chakra is sensing and connecting you with your will power, your ego, self-confidence, esteem, self-worth, it is the centre of your personal power and autonomy.  It is from your solar plexus that you find the confidence, strength, and motivation to manifest your goals, your dreams, and your desires

The purpose of this chakra is to allows you to meet challenges and move forward in your life. The main challenge for the third chakra is to use your personal power in a balanced manner.

Physical Symptoms of a Solar-plexus imbalance –

The solar plexus is responsible for maintaining complete function of your digestive system , digestive organs, enzymes, hormones, and physiological processes included.  On the physical level, the solar plexus chakra is associated with the digestive system such as Poor digestion, weight problems, anorexia, bulimia. Other organs that are affected are the  liver, pancreas, kidney and gallbladder. people tend to suffer from acute or chronic  ulcers, arthritis and hepatitis. as it affects the pancreas, temporary short or long term episodes of hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia (diabetes )can occur. Solar plexus imbalances can also cause  intestinal tumours and colon disease.

Balanced Solar plexus –

When this Chakra is in balance you will be in complete control over your emotions and thoughts. you will be able to reflect and have the ability to move forward in life with confidence and power. When balanced you will have the ability to make conscious choices to choose and to act, Your ego mind, or small mind will have no unwanted influence over your actions. When in tune, your Solar-plexus will radiate warmth, joy and confidence through-out your entire being. you will shine and glow and influence others who come in contact with you. You will know without a doubt, and accept your place in the Universe ,

 Overactive Solar plexus –

If your chakra is over-active you may react to life circumstances, be judgemental or find it critically easy to blame, point fingers and find fault in others. Beings with excessive third chakra energy have emotional outbursts and are often stressed out, and can be very rigid or stubborn. Anger or aggressiveness result from an over-active chakra. Procrastinating, making grand plans and not following through and becoming obsessive in regards to work or interests You may also be a perfectionist and can’t settle on something that is already good enough, it always has to be better.

 Under active Solar plexus –

If this chakra is under active it can cause severe emotional problems. You may also run on “auto pilot” avoiding your feelings of depression or anxiety. memory blanks, seclusion and isolation. Under active solar plexus tends to make people feel afraid and alone, suffering from mistrust and doubt. Being stuck, viewing life from the inside and not being able to see out or the bigger picture .People will suffer from low self-esteem, addiction, lack of self-control and will over eat or not eat at all and have the inability to set or maintain boundaries.

If you feel you’d benefit from clearing your solar plexus chakra, there are many practical, every-day things that you can do. Here are a few ideas

1.Yoga, the best solar plexus chakra yoga poses are those that strengthen your core and help you to feel more powerful and confident. Step into the Warrior I pose to access your inner spiritual warrior or go deeper with courage into the Bow pose. Continue into part 2 yoga poses, such as Boat pose or Lion’s pose.

2.Diet, Eating foods rich in yellow earthy colours. A healthy solar plexus chakra vibrates at a frequency similar to the colour yellow. Therefore, yellow foods provide the vibrational rate needed to help balance this chakra. Bananas, sunflower seeds, pumpkin, dairy such as cheese and yoghurt, turmeric, cumin, bread, pasta ( wholegrain of course) , flax and ginger

 

3.Essential oils embody the properties of the plant they were extracted from. These properties work on all four levels of our being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The following are the most commonly used solar plexus chakra essential oils: rosemary, mandarin, lavender, clary sage, patchouli, camomile.

4.Repeat an affirmation such as: I am confident in all that I do. I am successful. I effectively manifest the deep desires of my soul. I am capable. I can do it. My needs are important.  I release my creative energy into reality.  I can solve any problem that comes up. I respect myself.  I stand up for myself and what I believe in.

5. Healing practitioner – Working with a Reiki practitioner or other energy healer can be a good way to start your healing journey. They will be able to help break up the blockage and can help locate other blockages or imbalances in your energy.

6. At home, meditation is the most effective way to break up a blockage. Everyone possesses healing energy, and you can harness it using visualization

7. Crystal therapy – Jasper, malachite, citrine, yellow tourmaline, rhodochrosite

8. The solar plexus is associated with the colour yellow so picturing a yellow sunflower or glow bright sun where the chakra is located can have an instant affect. Surround yourself with the colour yellow, light yellow candles, wear yellow, vision yellow surround you and everywhere you go.

Cutting Cords

Published on by andycandypants1 Comment

What is Etheric Cord Cutting?

“Cords” are energy attachments we form that run back and forth between people, places, objects or situations. These cords are energy structures that connect into our energy bodies, OR it’s the extension of another person’s energy, connecting to you. See everything is made up energy, Your physical body and your spiritual body are made of energetic particles and waves. Unlike your physically body in which you can see and feel energy, some parts of you like your emotions, experiences thoughts and feelings have energy. These unseen energy attachments are usually fear based and unhealthy spiritual connections we form that bind us to the person or object from changing or leaving. These fear based cords intensify and grow larger when to connection to the situation has been developing over a longer period of time, so the largest cords that develop are usually related to parents, siblings, friends, co workers and long-term relationships.

These “cords” are also referred to as etheric cords. Etheric refers to the immediate or first layer in the “human energy field” or aura. We all have etheric cords that we create as ways to connect with things that are around us. These cords act as a direct connection to whom or whatever we have formed an attachment with. They provide us with accurate link to tap into that persons/objects energy source. These spiritual leashes have nothing to with love or positive aspects of relationships. They can no longer connect you in a positive way and become counter productive.

Cords can go both ways, either you can form the attachment or vice versa, someone could of formed an attachment to you. This is the essence of an energetic cord.

Have you ever felt a strong connection with someone or something? Perhaps a traumatic or painful event, or an ex best friend or partner who is no longer in your life, but you get them out of your mind, you still get consumed by the thought of them. You may try everything you can to stop thinking of this person but be unable to. If you are becoming distracted, obsessed, anxious, worried, jealous, or influenced by another, this is because there is still a cord between the two of you, and energetically you are still attached.

Cords can be beneficial, too! These cords include the bonding connection you have when you get into a new relationship or friends? Ever felt that need to text your sister or best friend only to pick up the phone to see a message from them, Or a loving, protecting bond between you and your mother, child or a pet? Etheric cords are essential to life, and as you can see, they are all not bad for you. They can be serving you well or serving you poorly. But if you find yourself obsessing and thinking about a situation or person for days, weeks and sometimes months ands years that is draining your vitality, You can look at energetically cutting the non serving etheric cords. Cutting these cords does not mean that you are ending or abandoning a relationship with a particular person or that you will lose contact. it’s releasing the unhealthy part of the relationship. Removing the negative energy between two people actually allows love to form and grow in a healthy way.

So how can we cut…

Identify what needs cutting. Think of a question or situation that you would like help with. Ask your spirit guides and angels (or any divine being that you connect with) to show you any energy cords. Once identified, visualise the cord connection between you and the person/object, feel how it makes you feel, keep your eyes shut here and imagine or sense what it looks like. Does this energy cord feel heavy, draining? Or does it feel light, healthy and loving? If the cord is unhealthy and draining than its time to release the connection.

If you choose to cut the cord, ask for assistance by your or Guardian Angel, Archangel Michael or Spirit Guide and set the intention by saying aloud or, in your mind.

“ I now cut all cords with unconditional love and compassion that are attached from me to any person, place, situation and object that no longer serves my highest good. Archangel Michael please cut all etheric cords attached to my aura that have been blocking and draining me in all directions of time. Please remove all negativity so I may re -align myself with my divine life path and higher self. Thank you “

Imagine white light surrounding you and a large sward cutting through the cords, release the fear, freeing you from the cords that are draining your energy and vitality. Sit quietly while you and Archangel Michael cuts your cords. He’ll send healing energy through the severed cords to both you and the other person.

Do not send your energy to them in the form of love and healing light, let them heal by there own means, as this could encourage cord reattachment!

There you have it! Happy cord cutting
