- heal your body
-
the body is the physical manifestation of the spirit. in fact, the entire
physical world is simply how spirit expresses itself. the mind body and spirit
are all interconnected. your thoughts represent the mind aspect of you. the
thoughts trigger emotions (however subtle) in the body, which in turn communicate
with spirit (as karma, and subconscious impressions).
-
the spirit materializes the body and stores sub-conscious impressions from the
mind. the mind (our thoughts) also triggers the secretion of chemicals into the
body, which determines its health and physical characteristics. the point is
that body, mind and spirit are all connected and communicating with one another
like a triangle (where each center, has a channel to the other 2 centers).
-
so we can think of the body as being a conduit/channel between the mind and
spirit; the mind as being a channel between the body and spirit; and the spirit
as being a channel between the mind and body. they are three points 120 degrees
apart on an energetic circle through which life vibrations flow. the process of
becoming a divinity can be envisioned as a practice by which the energetic
vibrations between these three aspects of the self are elevated; allowing the
energy to flow faster (at higher frequency) and freer. so we can see that
blockages at any point on this circle would necessarily lower one's vibration and
prevent the evolution of self.
-
the body is the grossest and most dense of the divine trinity and so it is easy
to observe what needs to be done in order to purify and heal this aspect.
- STEP 4. adapt a divine diet
-
in order for the body to allow free passage of energy, it must be pure. the
body can be purified via cleansing, eating nutritional foods and avoiding junk
foods that sludge up the pathways.
-
because we are living beings, it is important to eat living foods, because
living foods such as raw fruits, vegetables and nuts contain processable
nutrients, life force energy, enzymes and other divine intelligence.
-
eating dead foods such as meat, eggs, milk and cheese can put your body and mind
out of harmony with nature. this is because:
- they are dead and do not contain any life force energy
- they do not contain divine intelligence or enzymes to break themselves down
and thus require your life force energy to be metabolized. so you have a net
loss of life force energy, which leads to lack of energy and drowsiness.
- they may contain hormones and other chemicals that can throw your thoughts
and energetic patterns out of sync.
- our bodies where not made to consume them, so we are instantly out of harmony
-
in fact, cooking any food over a temperature of 117 degrees farenheit destroys
the enzymes and consumption of such results in a net loss of life-force energy.
-
having a diet rich in nutrients is essential. moving towards a vegan diet is
extremely beneficial for those seeking to raise their vibration; and a
significant portion of this diet should be raw.
-
drinking, smoking and drugs (all drugs including pharmaceuticals) destroy
bodily tissues, create chemical imbalances within the body distort mental
frequencies which creates blockages within all three aspects of the
self-trinity (mind, body, spirit). cleansing of any addictions to these
substances is vital. the addiction should be replaced by spiritual practice
such as meditation, yoga, tai chi or other disciplines.
-
another self-destructive but lesser spoken of addiction that we here in the
west tend to suffer of, is an addiction to processed foods. white sugar, white
rice, and white flour are all unnatural processed foods that have been stripped
of their nutrients and cause dis-ease in the body. they should be gradually
eliminated from the diet and replaced with whole foods such as honey, or agave
nectar, brown rice and wheat flour. a general rule of thumb is that foods with
color and darker in pigment contain higher nutrient values and quantities of
vitamins and minerals. also, the more melanated, or darker skinned individuals
will need to consume higher levels of nutrients as their bodies naturally
contain higher levels of vitamins and minerals.
-
in order for energy to flow freely throughout your body mind and spirit, it is
important to purify the body and rid it of dis-ease causing processed and dead
foods.
- STEP 5. integrate with nature and the physical world!
-
nature is the greatest teacher! the proverb 'as above, so below' tells us that the same divine intelligence and pattern that exist in the cosmos also exists within us. so we are a microcosm of the universe. in fact, the universe exists within us! therefore, we can learn anything and everything about our own selves via the study of nature. the universe is our extended self, and the process of becoming whole again necessitates re-integrating with nature. we must once again, become ONE with our mother, ONE with our true SELF.
-
through nature, we can learn about the many different layers of spirit and of ourselves. the rain is a portal to different energies and dimensions within yourself and within the universe. when it rains, be conscious of the experience: feel the energy, become it, ask it questions, listen and learn from it. the rain can connect you to divine vibrations that are mostly closed when it is not raining. rivers, lakes, the ocean, the sun, mountains valleys, forests and jungles are also portals! spend time in these places and be aware of the subtle vibrational shifts within yourself and your environment. immerse yourself in the moment.
-
try to visit a natural space as much as possible, but for at least two hours weekly. the more time you spend communing with nature, the more divine intelligence you will absorb from her; and the closer you will get to your true self.
-
spending time in nature is very much a sensory experience as your entire body will feel the energy. but there are other ways that we can re-integrate ourselves into the physical world (which is an expression of the spiritual).
-
one such way is to pump life into the living cells of your body via exercise. physical activity allows for energy to flow throughout the universe within. as we have discussed earlier, becoming a divinity is all about allowing cosmic energy to flow throughout your vessel as freely as possible. every cell in our body is a living being itself and thus requires nutrients, love, oxygen and life force energy. acknowledging the divinity within and providing this offering to them further integrates one into the cosmic and fluid existence of divine wholeness. exercise can be as simple as a walk in the park, or yoga at the beach... and simple usually is better. whatever you feel comfortable with, make it a regular and recurring aspect of your life, and try to spend as much time outdoors as possible.
-
another important discipline is the practice of proper breathing. the breath is the chi; it is the intake of life-force energy. vitality and peace can be maintained by focusing on the breath and properly supplying that life force energy to the body (your vessel of god). proper breath should be slow, rhythmic and fully fill the stomach cavity before the chest cavity.
-
spiritual evolution can also be catalyzed by immersing one's self in a divine musical experience. everything is a vibration. music and dance communicate vibrations (which are the purest form of information), directly to the body and spirit. as long as the music is positive and makes you feel good inside, then it can be used to accelerate spiritual growth.
