The Role of the Element of Water in Our New Consciousness

The Role of the Element of Water in Our New Consciousness

A New Consciousness Exploration

(Form a Series of Shamanic Journeys to Explore the New Consciousness)

I have been told the Five Elements will guide us to the New Consciousness. I went exploring.

In a mediative state, I place my intention into the Unseen World as I begin my Shamanic Journey. “We are creating a new Consciousness. What is the role of the Element of Water in this new awareness?”

Water has so much power and versatility but the shamanic message I received was that the qualities that water can teach us for the New Consciousness is patience and reflection. I like the quality of reflection in water. The idea of sitting quietly beside the reflecting pool and contemplating, considering, being open.  

“In the New Consciousness, you will rely on the reflective quality of water to help you learn. You will rely on the serene power of water to show you your way of being. Begin to practice reflection in your current body suit life.”  

Water has great power

Like Air, the Element of Water is life-giving to planetary life beings.  It cleanses. It clears. It restores. 

A major lesson for our New Consciousness is that Water seeks balance. It seeks to be level.  Based on the power of gravity, it flows downward or seeks a lower level.  So it is always rushing and falling and moving. But it is seeking to be level.   

Water embraces the qualities of moving and stillness and reflection  

There is an interesting combination of qualities – moment, stillness and reflection. Water has the power to clear things away. Water washes things away as it cleanses. If it becomes too dense and builds up sediment, Water deposits that in one area and simply moves on.  Water has a self-cleaning action. 

You can rely on the serene power of Water to show you how to balance your way of being.

Water seeks balance

One of the major lessons of water is balance.  It seeks to be level.  Balance is a powerful lesson for the New Consciousness. 

Water is very versatile, so what aspect will we need to cultivate in the New Consciousness?

Patience. Water will move when there is an opening.  Consider that quality. Water only goes we there is an opening. Yes, there is a tidal pull that moves  water back and forth that rocks and moves and opens whatever it touches.  It washes sand up on to the shore. Sand from far away, from other countries. Water is a mover and a shaker. So on one hand, it is  introspective and the other it is  a major share-er, a teacher if sorts -a definite re-arranger.

Water offers many lessons

Water can be still and it can mov.  It can evaporate and it can fall to the earth. Water is flexible, adaptable and versatile.

Water is life-giving. It comes in many forms and has great power. It is a very powerful element.  

What lesson are we to learn from Water for the New Consciousness?

We are to learn to allow room for a steady flow, not rushing down rapids but moving steadily along in a purposeful flow.

Water is therefore a messenger, a carrier of ideas and insights on its surface that have come from deep inside. It carrels the ripples of our actions and thoughts to far off shores.

We are to be like Water.  Reflecting deeply, eager to explore new places and sending out a constant stream of ripples that touch the lives of others.   

Water in the New Consciousness is more a state of being than a state of action. 

Water embraces the qualities of moving and stillness and reflection.  

Be deep. Be still. Put out a mindful ripple. 

Deeper Song Affirmation

I am still and reflecting and powerful
like the Element of Water.

A Deeper Song Process 

  • Take your own shamanic journey to the Element of Water and see what it teaches you. 
  • What is your favorite form of water – the stillness of a pond, the rushing of a waterfall, the flexibility of an ocean?  Notice how Water reflects your personality  
  • Take time to reflect on that.

The Magical Power of an Affirmation

By

The Magical Power of an Affirmation

An Inner-word Exploration

Affirmations are magical.  They have the power to change your thinking – and how life manifests around you.  

Use affirmations to reverse a negative situation

I was working on a list of things I wanted to change – in my work and in my personal life.  It was a fairly large list and I was getting discouraged. 

Until I remembered what I have known consciously for over half my life – affirmations have the power to change everything – to shift energy, to create new outcomes. 

I took a closer look at what I was telling myself. The vocabulary I was using.  The energy I was purging out.

Change is as simple as reversing your negatives

I need and want to add more movement to my life. I was bogged down in schedules and forms of exercise.  And then I remembered to create an affirmation.

My body joyously celebrates life and gets stronger in the process. I am physically strong and active and have a joyous time being in my body! 

Feel how that shifts the energy! It’s much more powerful than a list of when to exercise throughout my day.  It becomes an objective.  A purpose.  A pathway.

I have been fussing with myself for not getting some of my older books up on Amazon.  It is weighing me done and I am annoyed with myself for not stepping up to the plate and simply doing it. I knew what was stopping me was the challenge of relearning the technical part that was creating my reluctance to complete this aspect of my writing. Then I reworded it into a new affirmation:

I easily, effortlessly and joyously  complete all my writing projects.

What a relief!

What if it seems impossible?

Here’s an affirmation I have to work on.  I have Dry Macular Degeneration in my eyes.  That means there are cloudy places forming at the back of the eye that makes it hard to see. In today’s medical world they seem to not know a cure for it but in the medicine of the Unseen world there undoubtedly is. I just had no idea how to access it.  

So I sat here n my body suit with a situation over which, at the moment, I seem to have no physical plane power.

But I do. So the switch has to begin with my belief system.  

What do you want to change in your life that you don’t think is possible?

Drop your physical plane ideas of what can or cannot happen. We really don’t know. We are just vibrational energy housed in our body suits.  But that vibrational energy is whole, perfect, and complete. We just need to encourage it to manifest more noticable.  My affirmation could be “The macular degeneration in my eyes heals itself!”

But I I want to move it to a higher realm and affirm:

“I see clearly – within and without.” 

That ought to get the job done!

Look for ways to shift how you view a situation

In our body suits w look at the problem and use body suit steps to try to shift things around, to fix it or remove it or…

But that is body suit thinking and our minds limit what we think is possible. We need to change our thinking. It will change or lives.  

Losing a job can be “a fabulous opportunity to follow my passion.”

Having a friend move away can be “I offer deep gratitude for the time we spent together on our path.”

This unexpected change in my life is actually a door opening to a new phase of my journey.”

How can you switch a situation you are viewing as negative, into an affirmation?

“My body joyously welcomes new strength and vitality.” 

“I love caring for my home and being in its vibrant energy.”

“I am continuously inspired with new ideas and insights that I love to share with others.”  

Creating an affirmation will lift you out of the doldrums, or a stuck place and open up a new world of possibilities. 

What problem or situation do you need to reframe into an affirmation?

Deeper Song Affirmation

I look closely at how I view my life and
create a new positive affirmation for every situation.

A Deeper Song Process 

  • Write down three things that are not working in your life.  
  • Notice the language you use.  
  • Notice the negative or unsupportive energy the words offer. 
  • Rewrite the idea into a positive statement as if it has already happened. 
  • Repast frequently and consciously as you move through your life.

The Role of the Element of Air in Our New Consciousness

By

The Role of the Element of Air in Our New Consciousness

A New Consciousness Exploration

(Form a Series of Shamanic Journeys to Explore the New Consciousness)

I have been told the Five Elements will guide us to the New Consciousness. I went exploring.

I place my intention into the Unseen World as I begin my Shamanic Journey. “We are in the process of creating a New Consciousness. What is the role of the Element of Air in this new awareness?”

Air is a powerful

Air can be both gentle and harsh. She can lift a feather into the air and make it dance along, and she can blow down a tree. 

Air teaches us to be gently powerful.

Air is an image of silent strength.  Of waiting in expectation, until she is needed, or feels the need to step in to help create change.  

Air gives us lessons in expectant energy  

Air is silence. Air is stillness. Air is breath.

Everything begins with emptiness –   the emptiness of thought and feeling that you can experience with a simple breath.  

Exhale a releasing breath. Empty your body of all tension and concern.

Feel your body disappear until you are aware of yourself only as your third eye. Feel your body suit dissolve until you are simply a point of awareness where your third eye is. Then feel yourself as this single point of light energy. Begin to expand. Feel yourself being everywhere at one time. 

That is the feeling of Air. It is a lesson for our New Consciousness. It is about being everyone at once.

As you feel yourself expand, feel yourself embracing all, encompassing all, including all. 

Air is inclusive. It is in everything.

How are we to work with the Element of Air in the New Consciousness? 

Air is the expression of freedom. It is like being a shape-shifting cloud in a summer sky – free to take any shape that one wishes.

Air is the feeling of moving through clouds as if you were gently floating. But most of all, Air is about stillness.  The aware silences you are to create and seek and inhabit.

Air has its own rhythm – a pulse, a beat, a movement

Air teaches us an awareness of simply being present. Air can move – fast, slow, straight ahead, in circles.  Air is the perfect example of truly going with the flow.

Begin to experiment with the Element of Air by simply being present. In silence. Disappear your body as you immerse yourself in the All-That-Is that surrounds you. 

Fee yourself embraced by Air.  Feel yourself clothed in Air.  Feel yourself, your body simply disappear in Air until you are an awareness of simply being. Simply being present. Simply being still. Simply being. 

We each have choice in how we work with the Element of Air in the New Consciousness we are building

You can release this stillness into the earth world and let it calm others and bring them an experience of inner peace. You can keep it inside for yourself and cultivate its presence so you can remain still more frequently as you move through life. You can do both.

You can experience the element of Air as soft cumulus clouds, gradually shape-shifting in the sky.  You can use the awareness of Air to center yourself. To slowly breathe in and breathe out, letting Air calm and soothe. Your serene breath will nurture you and soothe those around you.

Like the Element of Air, your energy reaches out around you

Just as Air is everywhere, so is your energy. Whether you are a blustery wind storm or a serene summer breeze, that is your choice.  That is how you express yourself and those are the vibrations you emirate.

Air can lift you high  It can land you on the ground. It can push you forward and it can pull you back.

Air is very powerful and very flexible.  

How am I to work with Air in the New Consciousness?

Let Air help you make space for what you are to do. Let Air place space between your thought and your actions. Let Air expand the spaces in your spine, the space between your blood cells so your body suit stays strong and healthy. Think of every aspect of our body suit floating in Air.  Part of the Great Collective, the All-That-Is 

We are all one Air

In our New Consciousness, we are not to feel restricted by our body suits.. We are to see ourselves as one Air – one vibration of Air. And that will affect our behavior and our choices.  

We are Air.  We are One Air.  We are to learn to breathe together as one harmonious breath.

Deeper Song Affirmation

I am the stillness and inclusiveness of the Element of Air.

A Deeper Song Process 

  • Take your own shamanic journey to the Element of Air and ask what lessons it has for you in the New Consciousness. I’d love to hear what you find.

Heart Bridging Blessing

By

Heart Bridging Blessing 

An Inner-world Exploration

It was an unexpected gift from the Unseen World. In my shamanic journey, I found myself in front of Stone Woman and she offered me a beautiful blessing She crossed her wrists in front of her and blew a blessing/greeting between her hands.  

I knew it was both a blessing and a greeting and I wanted to bring it into my own spiritual practice. I journeyed again for more detail and I have experimented with the energy this blessing creates. It has led me to the evolution of a most lovely and powerful greeting/blessing to be offered to anything you wish to send loving and supportive emery to. 

Heart Bridging Blessing

  • Cross your arms over your heart  with one hand on each shoulder. Your heart is covered by your crossed wrists. 
  • Say, I am Light
  • Keeping your wrists stil crossed,  extend your arms away from your body and point the palms down toward the earth.  (Experiment with which arm you want to have on top. Notice if/how it changes the energy.) 
  • Say” My heart walks the earth to your heart.”  Feel your heart blessing move from your heart, through your downward-facing palms to the earth and on to wherever you desire to send it. Feel the energy traveling through the core of the earth to the object of your greeting/blessing.
  • Move your hands into prayer position with palms together.
  • Say “My heart walks the sky to your heart.” 
  • Feel your Heart Blessing raise up from your whole body and move its uplifting vibration out into the world and to the object of your Heart Blessing.
  • Blow over the top of the fingers of your facing palms in a blessing that connects earth and sky and sends you greeting/blessing to the person or object of your intention.
  • Extend your arms out with palms face up in welcome/greeting. 
  • Say “We are one light. We are one heart!  Namaste, (Nah-Mah-Stay – the Light Within me honors the Light within you)”
  • Bring your hands back with palms together. Bow to conclude your Heart Blessing.
  • Use this blessing often and let the energy and your intuition guide you into your own version of it. 

Again:

  • Cross your arms over your heart  with one hand on each shoulder. Your heart is covered by your crossed wrists. 
  • I am Light
  • Keeping your wrists crossed, point the palms down toward the earth.  
  • My heart walks the earth to your heart.  
  • Move your hands into prayer position with palms together.
  • My heart walks the sky to your heart. 
  • Blow over the top of your fingers in a blessing that connects earth and sky and sends it in greeting/blessing to the person or object of your intention.
  • Extend our arms out with palms face up i
  • We are one light. We are one heart!  Namaste, (Nah-Mah-Stay)
  • Fold your hands back into palms together. Bow to conclude your Heart Blessing.

Deeper Song Affirmation

We are One.
I am you.  You are me.
We are One. 

Deeper Song Process

  • Add this Heart Bridging Blessing to your spiritual practice.
  • Offer this Heart Bridging Blessing to others who are receptive.
  • Offer Heart Bridging Blessing to elements of nature
  • Offer Heart Bridging Blessing to situations
  • Offer Heart Bridging Blessing to artifacts on your altar
  • Look in the mirror each morning and offer this Heart Bridging Blessing blessing to your body suit from your inner self!

What is Your Role in Creating the New Consciousness?

What is Your Role in Creating the New Consciousness?

A New Consciousness Exploration

(From a Series of Shamanic Journeys to Explore the New Consciousness)

A New Consciousness is emerging. Those of us who are aware of its expanding evolution, who are consciously raising our personal vibration, are aware of this change and understand that we are a part of it.  Because this New Consciousness is emerging, because it is an evolving awareness, we will have to learn to become aware of its shifting form, its impact and its purpose. 

To seek guidance form the Inner World, I use the meditative form of shamanic journeys. The answers to my intentional inquiry come in the form of metaphors I am to interpret. My role is to explore and report back to you.

First, I explored my role in the New Reality. You will need to do that for yourself.  Our roles may be similar but they will also differ. Simply mediate and ask to be shown your role.

In one of my journeys I was told the New Consciousness wold be guided by the elements of Air, Water, Earth, Fire and Space. I explored each of those separately and have written what I discovered.

As I begin each meditative Shamanic Journey, I place my intention into the Unseen World: “We are in the process of evolving a New Consciousness.  What will it be like and what individual roles are we in the process of discovering?”  

In my journey I was told:  

“You are like a shape-shifting cloud that turns into an arrow to point the direction.”

I could do that. You could do that. The idea of being a shape-shifter allows us to reshape our own lives and become indicators for those who see us and are drawn to how we are changing and what we are sharing. 

That means we are to be aware and flexible and open to experiencing things differently. 

The journey messages continued: 

”You are going straight and true.  You are lighting the way.” 

I don’t know the numbers, but I do know that there are Transformational Thinkers and Leaders all over the world and we are collectively raising our personal vibration and that of the collective consciousness. 

We need to find each other and support each other. 

Do you see  yourself as a Transformative Thinker?

“Where there is silence, and stillness and all-ness, focus on being there. Focus on living from there”  

For me, that means deeper inner work, mediative work, journey work. 

We are all on a journey of our own, each seeking to raise our vibration so we can live in the Land of All-That-Is where everything is one harmonious vibration. 

How can you deepen your inner work?

“Keep bridging to those who follow you.” 

My guides said: “Keep looking for your reality above the physical plane. Keep expanding your awareness of the higher vibration. Become aware of your raised vibration. Trust it to change what it is needed. Let the Earth Planet unfold on its journey. All you need to do is keep exploring. Then turn and share what you have discovered. You do not need to teach or even lead. You just lay down the markers and let others have free will to journey wherever they will.”

We have to accept that this New Consciousness, although everywhere, will not be seen or embraced by everyone.  We each walk our own path and are responsible for our own choices.   

How are you bridging to the New Consciousness.  Who are you bridging to?

“Is this turn-around-and-help-others work or is this a work-on-my-inside-self project.” 

“These are changes you make within yourself, but if someone asks you and shows interests, you are to turn and assist them.  It may be a story, a metaphor, or a literal helping hand. You are on this journey together to expand and embrace the New Consciousness and the road is becoming filled with light-bearing travelers.”

In my journey, I see travelers laying down their differences beside the path – their differences in culture and beliefs. And as they walk forward they become more iridescent, many colors woven within them but they all become the one with the Iridescent Void until individuals disappear and we experience ourselves as one. One raised vibration bringing forth beautiful harmonies, from different sections of instruments, but it is playing well together.”  

“What am I to do here?”

“It is unfolding. Keep bridging to those who follow you. Keep looking for your reality above the physical plane. Keep increasing your awareness of the higher vibration. Let it go. Let the planet go and let it unfold.”  

“Is there a conductor?” 

“A rainbow comes and makes a spiral that turns into a tunnel, a passageway, a bridge and we all begin walking through it. We are humming our individual songs. As we walk we hear other songs and we begin to either sing the same song or harmonize.  There is great happiness and sense of purpose. There is one road that we all walk on that is filled with pulsing lights that beckon us forward.  One pathway. One direction. We offer each other helping hands, we pause to share our maps, our ideas, the guidance we have received.” 

Lay down our differences.  Become one laughter-filled vibration, joyously celebrating as we move together into a serene, peaceful coexistence, moving into a true sense of being one.  

There is stillness as we walk.  

There are smiles on our faces as we walk. There is warm sun on our bodies and slowly we begin to hum – in harmony, some humming melodies some weaving their harmonies in and out, others holding a foundational chord. We are in process. We are immersing ourselves in the New Consciousness.  And all is well.

(End of my shamanic journey.)

Deeper Song Affirmation

I meditate and journey to experience myself as part of the New Consciousness and learn my role.

A Deeper Song Process 

  • Begin to think about the New Conscious and what it might look like and feel like and be like.  
  • Meditate or journey and ask for information about your role, your preparation for the New Consciousness we are creating together. 
  • Journal what you are given and see how you might apply it to your body suit life and in your spiritual life.
