The other evening I went to see Men in Black 3 expecting an entertaining and updated version of the previous 2 films, yet there was something more that I saw and wanted to write about here today with you. Besides all of the fun special effects there was a character introduced part way thru the film named Griffin who held what J and K needed. Without giving away the movie for those of you who will still be seeing it I'll explain further what happened that I find encouraging and a bit exciting!
Griffin is an alien(of course!) but a unique one in that he's described as from the 5th dimension and another planet but is now on Earth. The story is further fleshed out that he's a very unusual guy because he is multi-dimensional and can see what actions in the present can lead to probable outcomes in the future and even the past. It's really an exceptional piece of writing that many may just gloss over yet it has some much to do with what I talk about and teach people.
We're in the midst of a great shift, one that is bringing us to a higher octave of consciousness and one that we need to become aware of and nurture within ourselves. One of the components of this shift is our changing relationship with time. While we still perceive time as a line from past-present-future, in the higher vibrations of the 5th dimension we're able to work with our past and future with our presence anchored fully in the present or now. Griffin was in the now moment during the movie, yet he was able to view different aspects of the timeline and be able to advise J and K about what the outcome of their choices could be. It is a continuum that exists always. We can begin to do the same if we allow ourselves by trusting in the info we receive from our higher selves. It takes practice, commitment to making space to ask from our heart energy and then listen. You see, we're moving away from calendar time as we've known it and into Cosmic time. Cosmic time is flexible, it can be expanded and contracted by your intentions to allow you to experience anything you want for your evolution and expansion.
It's time to begin to think in terms of events you want to experience rather than the sequence you think you need to create your life events. Many people are experiencing time "speeding up", and in some real way it has! The Schumann resonance, the main vibration of our planet has changed for the first time in our recorded history, and a day isn't experienced in the same way it was, say 10 or 20 years ago. This resonance has changed our perception so now often days just fly by. This can create psychological or emotional distress as we feel that there's "not enough time" to get done all that we wish to do. This is pointing us in the direction of the higher self, which is the bridge between you and your soul energy. It is "out of time" as we know it, yet it can accomplish so much more quickly as it works in timeless space. A big part of our work is to establish a stronger connection to it so that we can embody our energy in a way that suits this higher vibration. Doing it the old way, or as we have done is likely to lead to frustration and a lot of missed opportunities.
The 5th dimension is about being in a higher level of conscious awareness that brings more of who we truly are into being. It is available to us and it is all about being able to hold a higher vibratory reality for ourselves. How do we do this? First, we must come fully into our bodies as the energy we are. This can be as simple as grounding yourself by walking barefoot on the earth for a few minutes a day, or even just having the intention to connect to yourself and the Earth. Second, we need to release all that does not serve us. This is especially in the area of beliefs, for in our beliefs so goes our reality! Our beliefs create our reality. We've outgrown a lot of beliefs individually and collectively and now it's time to let those go, thereby letting go of the excess "stuff" in our lives. Our happiness is truly our responsibility and we must also allow this for others. You can take a sheet of paper and make a belief tree for yourself. Start at the top of the page and write down a belief that you have about yourself. It could go like this: "I can't have the perfect life for me". Then below write Why? Then you'll get several answers like "I don't deserve it" or "It will take too much effort" etc. Now your going down the branches of your personal belief tree. Eventually if you keep doing this you'll arrive at a core belief. When you find it then you can challenge it and decide if it really fits for you anymore. If not, then create a ceremony to release it and replace it with something like "I am whole and perfect as I am". Then tack that new statement somewhere you can read it several times a day and take any small action to affirm that new belief. It'll take you anywhere from a few days to the maximum of a month, then you'll repattern yourself. By being successful with this your Now reality will have to reflect that core belief changing into your present life, which you'll see as all sorts of changes in your life and new ideas coming to you. You'll be like Griffin, in that you'll be able to see a past event and change it and then experience the reality shift.
I'd recommend seeing this movie so you get a better flavor for what I'm writing about. It's all about small steps. A way of working w/ the future is just taking time to visualize the outcome you'd like to have and feeling the success of your intention, then letting it go. You could do this with finding a parking space, aceing a presentation or an interview, the list goes on and on. The trick is to feel the success of your intention before it's happened, this is why it's so important to increase your ability to feel. If you're having trouble in this area it's likely a physical or emotional block- identify it and release it lovingly. Find a qualified person such as a wellness practitioner or energy healer to assist you, you won't regret the time you spend on getting in balance with yourself!
Enjoy each of your days, dream big and make small steps every day until one day you'll find yourself there. It's just inevitable because you're willing to claim the participation of more of you in you own life, and who wouldn't want that?
Blessings,
Robert

A deeper exploration of Gratitude and Grace
"After a long and protracted experiment of personal sovereignty, Robert had indeed discovered and affirmed that everything in his reality was the result of his desires and choices, no matter what degree of consciousness was applied by him. Nothing was by chance. He had gratitude for all of the experiences- happenings and non-happenings that had occurred. In that moment he had declared the experiment over. He said 'I now wish to live from my passion' and then he had begun the process of living in grace, the driving force for his choices going forward."
Today I'd like to focus on the concepts of gratitude and grace. These are both very powerful words and when used correctly will activate energies of peace, and your personal evolution. Often we don't take the time to understand the meaning behind words. Words are vibrations and have the power to impact us when used consciously. So let's go into a deeper exploration of this fascinating topic. It has great implications for living in the higher vibrations of 5th dimensional consciousness!
Often in current metaphysical and personal growth circles we are reminded to have gratitude, to express gratitude for things in our lives. This is a good thing for it focuses us to thoughts of where we are and where we've come from. There are parameters for the use of gratitude though, and in places it is better to use the term of grace instead. Why you ask? When you use gratitude it is best to use it in reference to what has occurred (past) rather than present. When you use the word gratitude in the present it sends a message to your unconscious that you accept your current life situation in its present form. This causes stagnation of your reality, which is often the opposite of how people are using gratitude. They're told "use gratitude as a way to bring blessings and an increase" when in fact it is reinforcing your current circumstances. What I'm suggesting is that you want "more" in your life: more awareness, more prosperity, more loving relationships, etc. . To do this become familiar with the concept of grace.
The definition of grace is "unmerited divine assistance given man for his regeneration or sanctification" (Webster's dictionary 9th ed.). I would say that grace is something that IS merited if it is consciously applied in one's life, for we are not separate from the Divine. Grace is a concept that's been typically applied in religious arenas, sort of apart from daily life. Grace has been seen as a static concept: "She was in a state of grace" for example. It has been sensed by people but not really embraced. Now is the time to understand and embrace this powerful energy.
About the only contact with grace I regularly had was "saying grace" before dinner with my family while growing up. I imagine that it was a blessing, a sanctification of our food. By the way, blessing your food is still a good idea! How have you experienced grace in your life?
Grace is intimately connected to our power of choice. It is the radiant energy of choice that combines with the etheric energy about us to create in a new way, one that is much easier. I explain when I teach that there are 3 types of energy: etheric, radiant and vibrant. Becoming aware of these and then starting to work to combine them puts us firmly onto the continuum of transformation which is the 5th dimension. I also explain that we have to come into balance with ourselves - to be in wellness emotionally and physically in order to connect with our feeling senses within the body to make this possible. This has been explored throughout the ages, hence the practice of yoga and all of it's branches, devotional singing and others as well. The heart is the gateway, this practice cannot come from our mind alone, and here lies the work. It is the work of self-love, relationship and it's flowering is in service. First it is service to self, then it moves into service to others directly or indirectly. Do you know the best way to teach someone? Be an example. This is indirect service and don't discount its power!
In my opening example I show what I believe is the proper use of gratitude and grace. Gratitude for the past, living in the grace of the present, also: grounded in the unknown of the future. We'll get to that, let's stay in the present for now.
Grace as I mentioned is not merely a static entity. It is an active presence brought on by your conscious choosing what you want to occur in your reality. It is you generating the radiant energy, an unseen force, through your choice and then producing it, manifesting it, manufacturing it, etc. into the vibrant energy which is your creation. You partner with these energies by listening to that steady but often small voice that is in your heart and then acting on it by choice and living it out. This is a huge step for most of us, as we've been trained in our Western society to value the mental parts of ourselves above all else. This is the way things have been, now it is time to move into the way we will be living in the coming years. It is needed, welcome it into your life. See yourself expanding beyond the belief that your are just a body and a mind. You are a fabulous energetic being with spiritual components now more available than ever before.
You know you want to express your truth and be loved for it, and you will be loved and received. Trust that it is safe. Let go of the stories in you head that say you can't be who you are or you will be rejected, punished, or even worse. That was then, this is now. Don't deny yourself, seize the opportunity. Fill your life with examples of positive role models. More are emerging all of the time. This is how we create the beauty and peace and prosperity that we all want to experience. Trust that your needs will be met. This is one of the hardest hurdles to get over, just remember "Life = Risk". To be here on Earth at this time is to want more. When you apply the formula I've mentioned using the radiant energy of grace you will be taken care of, there is no other way in the higher vibrations of the 5th dimension. There is no lack. There is a lot of creativity and joy and growth. Trust your heart, and believe and take action and it will be so for you. May you be blessed with an open heart, and may you act on its promptings, for in this is your greatest joy!
Until next time, in grace and with gratitude,
Robert

4 Things you can do with Reality
Going over some old notes today about reality that we all face I found some interesting insights. We're all trying to find ways to move in our lives in this rapidly changing environment. Here's 4 options and my thoughts on each.
At the most basic level of existence we COPE with reality. This is the 1st option. In this option we are typically in the "victim" mode, whereby the life we experience around us is overwhelming and all we can do is manage to get by. It is not wrong to be in this space, it happens to all of us that there's times when we're overloaded and we have to just go into this mode to keep from having a breakdown of some sort. Hopefully it is a brief period and after it we can move into higher vibrational choices. The problem w/ the cope mode is when we live in it on a constant basis. Doing this can wreak havoc on our emotional and physical health, further re-inforcing a state of helplessness. Remember, all of our answers are within us, so when you're in a coping mode be kind to yourself. Turn up the love for yourself. You'll give yourself a calm and centered place where you can make a better choice, one that'll move you forward.
The 2nd option is to REBEL against reality. This is a natural phase that all people go thru, typically during adolescence. It also can occur throughout life, in fact some of us have been born to this current life to be rebels, to shake up the "system" or status quo. ( I'm sure that most would agree that change in the world would be a good thing!) Rebeling can make you feel alive, it's a kind of payoff to feel that energy, that zeal or passion. However, once we reach adulthood, being a rebel can have a lot of negative consequences. Society expects us to behave in certain ways, i.e.- If you don't feel like showing up to work at the prescribed time you might risk getting fired. Thankfully some companies have changed how they utilize people thru flex-time and work from home options that make that less of an issue than it was 10 or 20 yrs ago.
It is easier to be a rebel if you're not too attached to material reality. As anyone knows, it takes energy to maintain their life. This is where "Less is more" comes in. The more you simplify, the more time you free up to explore your life instead of being a servant to your lifestyle. Rebels can be creative, inspirational, provocational, etc.. It's a useful way to attract attention to an issue. The "Occupy movement" has been the latest well-known rebel movement, drawing attention to the banking system and encouraging reform.
Most times rebelling fails because it isn't a balanced way of approaching reality. Most rebels run out of energy or followers after a while because their immediate concerns of providing for themselves comes to the forefront. It's often said that many of the rebels of the 60's and 70's turned their energy towards getting ahead in the 80's and 90's and became the "upwardly mobile yuppies".
The 3rd option is to construct your PERSONAL FRAMEWORK. This is what most of us know as "life". We grow up, train or educate ourselves for some type of work or career. We have our family and friends network that we attend to in varying degrees. We may also have a spiritual life, usually expressed thru being part of some type of religious faith. This is typically the one we were raised in, unless we employed the rebel energy previously discussed. We often form a love relationship with another and often this in turn leads to raising children and repeating the cycle once again. This personal framework works exceptionally well at keeping us involved with many things. In ancient Indian writings it's referred to as "householder" life and is considered an honorable way of pursuing life.
What's interesting is that more and more people are being challenged to move away from this personal framework due to great changes that are occurring in our society. The economic challenges of the past few years have forced many out of what they thought was stable in their life as they watched themselves losing jobs and homes and being forced to re-think how to live. Also many younger people, those I'd characterize as the Indigo and Crystal people just won't go along with life as it's been lived. They retain remembrances of life on the other side of the veil and want to bring that here too. They wish to express from their spiritual nature first, and not be limited in their creativity. These people are often extremely sensitive to energy and avoid lower vibrational situations. I suggest doing some research to see if you might have these characteristics for they are a gift indeed!
The 4th option is to CREATE FROM A PLACE OF TRUE AWARENESS. This is the Now paradigm, the flow, the 5th dimension. Many will argue that it's not necessary to go beyond the 3rd option, that that is enough. The problem with that option is that it doesn't fully take into account what magnificent creators we each are. It doesn't allow much room for exploration of spiritual dimensions of life, those are often relegated to religious activities at specific times.
So what are we needing to be aware of? First, understand that you have access to an unlimited supply of etheric energy. Now that we're at this point of development on the planet we need to start figuring out how to use this energy consciously to create. To create in this arena the focus must be higher vibrational. We use the vibration of love, taking from the etheric, combining it with our choices and then manufacturing it into what we wish to see and have in our lives. It is a place of total abundance, total prosperity in all areas, because it contains only that high vibration.
To get to this place we need to take responsibility for ourselves, our life situation and know that we each have created it all, so therefore we can choose to create something even better! Now I know it's not easy to take responsibility for EVERYTHING, surely there's someone or something I can place blame upon, isn't there? Nope!
This is a process, so be gentle with yourself. Know yourself first as a being of energy, in a body. Your body is your friend, treat it like a good friend. Practice listening to its signals, not suppressing them. Feel your feelings. It's said that each of us has a passion, and it burns like a flame in our heart, waiting to be discovered and fanned into full expression. If you can listen to your heart, be very very happy! If you can trust it's wisdom and act on it, be super excited!
If you're like me and many others, you'll have to work at it. That's good too because you have the desire and intention to find your source energy! It's likely that there will be processing to do, balancing to accomplish, so what? It's your life, and you ARE the star, writer and director of your own movie. Think of this new reality you're creating as a living organism. It's always moving and changing. Take time to dream. Take your life off of auto-pilot and get honest with yourself - are you living the life you really want for yourself or are you making excuses? Do it for you because you need to love you fully before you can really tap into the higher flow of you and create more love and joy in your life. Why not give it a try?
Blessings,
Robert
p.s. In the near future I'll be providing more info and classes on how to create this in your life. It takes practice and focus, and I want to help you with it, so stay tuned!

The Unfolding of You
For so long(really long!) we've been experiencing life as a sequence from birth to death, and all of the adventures!? in between, yet there's more to know and more to feel, if you'll only allow it for yourself.
There's so many dramas in a person's life that can distract from the truth of their being. What is this truth? You are always loved and always cared for! I'm not going to go into the multitude of reasons why a soul might incarnate an aspect into the Earth plane, suffice it to say that if you're reading this then you have come for learning and fun. Nobody said that all of the learning would be easy tho'!
There's so much speculation about 2012 and what that means. So much uncertainty, so many challenges to the status quo, on a personal and global level. Even the planet herself is feeling it. So much information - everyone seems to be on the verge of overload!
Do you know who you are?
Let's take a moment, on a scale of 1-10 in knowing yourself, pick a number. Me, I say about 5.0. How about you? I like where I'm at because I give myself a basis of the knowing I've accumulated in 48 years, yet I know there's much more I can discover! It doesn't matter what number you've chosen for yourself, because in the coming years you are going to know a lot more about you! Why, you ask? Because you are being LOVED into it. Even now, you have the choice.
What do I mean when I say "you are being loved into it"? This is the essence of this moment on Earth, it is a shift in perception, a shift in dimensions that is before us. We can ignore it, deny it, fight it - that's a choice. Or we can embrace it and step into our own personalized flow with it. That's why I've chosen to write - it's part of being in my flow. Let me explain further. Dimensions are different qualities of perception. Currently we're in the midst of a shift (a metamorphosis so to speak) from the 3rd thru the 4th and into the 5th dimension of our awareness. The 3rd and 4th dimensions are all about the interplay of love and fear. In the 3rd dimension it's all about duality, the black and white, either/or proposition. In the 4th dimension it's about love. Fear is used as a tool of understanding and motivation. It helps point us back to the truth, which is love. Now I don't mean the romantic sentiment of love, but a vibration of living it in each moment.
The 5th dimension is all about living your love in each moment, fear cannot exist at this point because it no longer serves us as we've moved on and spiraled up to our next level of experience. This is why so much attention has been placed on "raising our vibrations", "ascension", etc. It's because it is the next step! There are many things we can do to feel this, to feel more of who we are. We can eat healthier food, exercise more (do only things you enjoy, don't force it!), let go of toxic relationships or an unfulfilling job - it won't serve you anyway in the long run no matter how much money you're paid!
Less is more! When we leave this life, the question we'll be asking ourselves is "How did I love?", it won't be "Did I collect the most stuff?" So start now, I implore you - in any small or great way, just love yourselves a little more. You see, this is SO important. It's the crux of this article. It all happens within you and thru you. December 21, 2012 will come and go and we'll still be here. Accept yourself as you are and make choices each day from where you're at. I explain to people that what's occurring is more of a descension of more of you coming into being here on Earth because we've chosen it. Remember, we only use 5-10% of our brain and physical capacity. Imagine what would happen if that was doubled for all of us in the matter of a few years! To handle this upgrade, this increase, requires personal responsibility, a trait that our current society seems to want to breed out of us. Take responsibility for yourself, release what no longer serves you!
In my experience personally and as a healer I've found that we hold onto a lot of old, stuck energy - resentments, hurts, betrayals, etc. that we are not even that aware of most of the time. Go find a healer or therapist or coach you feel good working with and let them assist you to move forward. If you've been burying a lot you'll know because you'll be experiencing physical or emotional health problems, so that is your cue to do something! Take loving yourself to be your most important responsibility.
Simplify your life. This is the mantra of the 5th dimension. Less IS more. Start with your internal world, do some house cleaning with yourself and then take it to your literal home. When you do this you'll be amazed at how much more energy you have. Your dreams for yourself will once again come into focus and you'll be able to make choices for yourself that might have felt out of reach for a long time. You don't have to save the world. You don't have to even worry about the economy, the government or any of that. Those are just distractions.
Feed yourself, love yourself.
We need more dreamers - those who hear their dreams, those who are ready to live the truth of the love that is in their heart. Will you join us, the dreamers of dreams of joy?
There's so many dramas in a person's life that can distract from the truth of their being. What is this truth? You are always loved and always cared for! I'm not going to go into the multitude of reasons why a soul might incarnate an aspect into the Earth plane, suffice it to say that if you're reading this then you have come for learning and fun. Nobody said that all of the learning would be easy tho'!
There's so much speculation about 2012 and what that means. So much uncertainty, so many challenges to the status quo, on a personal and global level. Even the planet herself is feeling it. So much information - everyone seems to be on the verge of overload!
Do you know who you are?
Let's take a moment, on a scale of 1-10 in knowing yourself, pick a number. Me, I say about 5.0. How about you? I like where I'm at because I give myself a basis of the knowing I've accumulated in 48 years, yet I know there's much more I can discover! It doesn't matter what number you've chosen for yourself, because in the coming years you are going to know a lot more about you! Why, you ask? Because you are being LOVED into it. Even now, you have the choice.

Managing your energy pt. 1
In our current environment we are bombarded with so many things to pay attention to outside ourselves, yet are we spending any time to pay attention to that which is within us? It's important to develop a practice of familiarizing yourself with yourself on a new level as we move through changes and into transformation.
Today I'd like to begin a discussion of managing your energy. This will provide you with some basic tools and techniques for knowing what is yours and what's not. Yes, it's true, a lot of the thoughts and beliefs you have aren't yours. Do you wish to feel what it would be like to live more from your center? Each step one takes to claiming their own energy and operating from their center makes life better for all, and is a building block towards creating a 5th dimensional experience on planet Earth.
All of life is interconnected. There are books, movies, songs and all manner of expressions about this, yet many of us doubt this, as it has been obscured to an extent in our daily lives. It is very practical to work towards bringing this into our day to day lives-the place where we spend our greatest attention. Many of us tap into this state occasionally, and why not imagine doing it from moment to moment? That would be a power filled and powerful place to come from as we meet each day knowing we create it now.
To start let's review the body system. First, you are a being of energy/spirit that is inhabiting a body. This body is your vehicle, your chosen mode of expression in our reality. We are intimately connected to our bodies and yet there is more. Second, we have a mental body. We think, (cogito ergo sum-I think therefore I AM) we use our mental processing to make decisions. This is a current favorite body of most people in Western society at the moment. Some believe that it is the only thing that matters. In relation to living a 3rd dimensional life that has been generally true, and now I am seeking to expand what is desireable and even more life filled than that mode of being. In order to do that we most work to practice quiet listening to each part of ourselves.
Many people describe the 4 body system: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and they are correct. Each can be found to have a seperate "voice" within us and it is important to acknowelge each of these parts of ourselves. Not honoring one of these bodies will tend to throw one out of balance, thereby making our daily life less enjoyable. Wellness is our goal. Expanded enjoyment and creativity are natural parts of this more conscious way of living.
When you have a physical pain, it is the physical body's way of getting your attention. Do you see the distinction? Your body is telling you-two beings interacting. This illustrates one of our main ways we see that we are more than just one awareness. Now your physical body would prefer not to have to use such a loud way of getting your attention, and it does also send out signals all of the time. Practice feeling into your body sometime. Sit quietly in a chair with your feet on the floor. Take a few relaxing deep breaths and then start at your feet and scan yourself asking the body to report back to you. You'll find you here a lot of "alls well", but occasionally you'll find an area that sends out a different message. It could be an upset stomach which says "less of that food", or "more water, less coffee". Trust what you hear in your awareness, don't censor what you are getting. After all, aren't you the expert on your body? By doing this exercise you build a greater connection to your physical self and a line of communication is strengthened.
Our reality is created from the "inside" out. It is as what we feel and think will show up around us as the people and events in our "outer" life. One of the basic tenets we must follow to access higher energies is to take 100% responsibility ALL of the time for what we are experiencing. If we don't like something it's up to us to take steps to alter the results. Think about it for a moment. Every circumstance is part of some choice you made at sometime. Often it's something fairly recent, and other times we have to look back to a much earlier point to find where we created that belief. If the belief no longer serves us, we must allow it to release by bringing it to our awareness and unhooking it from our space. This may take more than one attempt at first, and with practice it can be as easy as taking a breath! Often a skilled energy healer would be a great ally in your process of self-healing.
Let's explore something called the "rose" technique. This process will assist you in establishing clear boundaries around your body that will benefit you in retaining control over your "space". Again, as energetic beings we must go beyond the belief that we're just our physical bodies, and that our energetic bodies are just as real and important to our well being. To begin either sit or stand still. Take a few cleansing and grounding breaths. Feel your feet on the floor and say aloud or to yourself " I am grounded and in my body". This helps to put you in your physical self. Picture a red long-stem rose. Place this imaginary rose about arms length out in front of you waist high. It just is floating there in your minds eye. Now create additional roses, putting one out to your left side, then right side and then your back side, each an arms length from your body. Now you've got four roses floating waist high around you. Create two more, placing one about 2 feet above your head and one the same distance below your feet.
Now comes the fun part! Draw a line from the rose above you down to each of the roses, so you'll have 4 lines coming to each point. Going clockwise connect the rose in front that's waist high to the one to the right, continuing around until you have connected all. What you should have at this point is a pyramid structure surrounding the top half of your body. Repeat the pattern starting from the rose beneath your feet, also connecting it to the waist. When you're done you'll have what's called an octahedron around your whole body, which is like having 2 pyramids base to base. The octahedron is now your conscious delineation of your personal space. What's inside it is "yours" and what's outside it is the rest of everything. It's only you that can allow other's energies into your space. The octahedron will deflect stray energies that you may pick up from other's when you're at the store, etc. It's a good idea to practice putting this invisible barrier on when you start your day. If you do this, what you'll find is that you're a lot less bothered by others states of mind and/or problems as the energies of those won't have permission to enter your personal space. I invite you to try this especially before you get around others and see what happens. Once you've practiced it a few times you can mentally re-draw this space around you at a moment's notice just by imagining it being there.
What you may experience is that people who consciously or unconsciously try to attach to your energy of your personal space will be stopped by your intention to be aware and define your energy space. They may get frustrated or angry, just notice and do not take responsibility for their reaction. You are learning to "own" your space, which will stop the flow of what isn't you to get to you. This is a beginning step to claiming your experience and creating a experience that you desire in your life. Happiness, well-being and a sense of peace will be your rewards. The more that you do this the more you will value "your space" and come to recognize it's sacredness as you move through your day.
An additional experience with the octahedron is to spin it. This will give you a sense of the reality of what you've created. First, command it to spin at 10% of the speed of light and notice what you notice. You may feel a tug as it spins. Notice which way it is spinning. Try again at intervals of 30%, 60% and 90% of light speed and notice how it feels. You'll come to experience the octahedron as a tangible creation that you made just with your mind! Also, the use of the rose is significant. The rose represents the highest vibration of the flowers and is an excellent symbol of the power you've placed in your octahedron. Rose oil in fact is the highest vibration flower plant essence that healers use and this is scientifically documented as well. So enjoy playing with this structure. It will benefit you in day to day life and with further experience you'll be able to apply it at work, home and out socially for great results. It will begin to make you feel lighter and you won't be blindly taking on others stray energies. This will keep you in a more centered and peaceful frame of mind, as you go forth to create what you would like to have happen in your space.
I'll continue to explore the topic of managing your energy in upcoming posts, and will be offering a class on it in Austin in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
