Redeployment of Energy

To say that all of our energy is already deployed is of course an exaggeration.  If that were so, we would be like puppets, unable to move on our own.  It is true, however, that, compared to the energy we could enjoy, we presently have practically none at our disposal.  All that we have is renewed each night by sleep, so that when we awake in the morning, or later in the day from a nap, we are in the best position to find our energy leaks and plug them.

Habits are our energy leaks, as has been mentioned, and they run in cycles.  As they siphon off our daily allotment of free energy, the cycles build to a peak; then, incoming energy exhausted, they dump what is left and we fall into a trough.  That is when we feel a need to make jokes, or complain, or do a dozen things that stimulate the shards of energy left to us.  These practices are also habitual, and presently we drop, utterly spent, and sleep or seek oblivion in some way.  Later we wake up and start all over again.  That is the tale of our lives.

It behooves us, then, to guard our little surplus of energy upon awakening, and learn how to cope with daily tasks without losing that sense of clarity we retain from our sojourn in the dream realm and lying in bed.  That is the best place to start on our inner work with elementals.  If we are vigilant, we can catch habit cycles as they start to arise and turn our attention to other things.  When we are freshly awake, our eyes are not trained on anything in particular, and our ears pick up all sounds equally.  If we can maintain this wide visual and aural focus, we shall be sensitive to the inner whisperings that augur the approach of inner spirits seeking to feast off our little surplus of energy from sleep.

But even if we are living in a mountain hermitage, we cannot hope to get through the whole day in a state of calm tranquility.  At some point we shall succumb; but if we keep at it, day by day, we can gradually extend the period of calm alertness, and the longer we remain in it, the deeper we will descend into levels of inner quiet.  As we do so, we will undergo inner changes based on our knowledge of habits and their peaks and troughs.  Some of these inner changes will be described next.

It has been mentioned that cats are content to do whatever they happen to be doing at the time, even if it is only resting, and do not feel any uneasiness about not doing other things.  Witches keep cats as familiars, first of all, to learn from them and recover powers lost long ago when our ancestors developed the ability to think and speak rationally.  For every advance has its price, and shamanism and witchcraft arose in the distant past from the desire to obtain a rebate from the original transaction that separated human awareness from its old kinship with the animals.  Living with a cat helps us to get into the mood of a cat, and we can pit this against the currents of unease we discern in ourselves when we bring our freshly woken alertness to bear on the level of inner whisperings.   When the Buddha taught people to do one thing at a time, he was recommending this way of the cat, and providing his teaching as a substitute for the feline example.

In meditation we are advised to let thoughts pass by our minds like clouds in the sky, neither pursuing them nor running from them.  Let each thought recede, like the sail of a boat disappearing on the horizon at sea.  See the end of the thought, calmly watching its wake as it passes by.  Then you will fall into the silence between thoughts and presently find yourself on the level of inner whisperings.  On this level you gain certain powers of movement and choice you didn’t have up above on the level of inner talk.  These powers are described metaphorically in folk tales tailored to the limited understanding of people trapped on the upper level of inner talking.  For instance, you can fly, but people won’t see you flying through the air.  What will happen is much more wonderful:  Your awareness, freed from the power of the synopsis, will begin flying through the memories of your past life, most of which have been forgotten, and you will assimilate many of the feelings you had of yourself and of life at various ages.  When you finally land from this flight, you will no longer be the person who took off, yet you will be even more authentically yourself; for instead of letting present circumstances deal a few cards from your memory-deck, you shall have shuffled much of the whole pack and selected the cards you want to hold; and you can reshuffle the deck at any time.

What is the synopsis?  The synopsis accompanies us throughout life, telling us what our current position is like and what we have to do in the present moment.  It is most easily detected in dreams.  When we begin a dream, we find ourselves already in the middle of a situation, equipped with a sort of memory of how we got there and an agenda to follow.  Because our consciousness is much simpler in dreams, being cut off from most external stimulation, the synopsis emerges clearly as a power telling us what’s what and directing our actions.  If we chance to gain some lucidity in the dream, becoming partly or fully aware we are dreaming, we can question the synopsis and make some free decisions on our own.  Instead of staying where we are and doing what we are told is important to do, we can open a door and go outside into unknown dream surroundings.  When we do so, we find ourselves immersed in very vivid, crisp detail, and imbued with extraordinary energy, energy that had previously been deployed by the synoptic power.   Then we either go on a spirit journey or return to ordinary dreaming, or wake up.

The same lucidity can be achieved in a waking state, for we are just as subject to the synopsis awake as asleep.  If we are sufficiently quiet within, it cannot control us.  We can see its operation, which is based on a selection of memories, mostly recent, which purport to tell us who we are.  But if we have lived for years and years, we are much more than that, and we have the right to base our decisions on all our identities from birth forward, and even earlier.  This is an example of gaining a power we never suspected existed, because it has always been in the hands of a habit cycle which has been operating most of our lives.  Like wallpaper, it has become invisible over the years.

Laughter is often used as a means to re-stimulating our energy after it has been captured by a habit cycle and dumped into a trough.  As we live more on the level of inner whisperings, we will still appreciate humor, but instead of laughing we will find ourselves smiling within.  The need to laugh often will no longer operate in our lives.  “There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious,” C.S. Lewis once wrote. “It is too good to waste on jokes.” [1]

These are some examples of inner changes brought about by slipping into the silence between thoughts and descending to quieter levels within, down the inner pillar.

In The Spiritual

Every day we are evolving, every day we are looking for new ways of expanding ourselves across the multitude of possibilities available. At times it has a weaving feeling of being in the physical and then moving out into the ethereal, and then back again. There can be calmness to this process, not unsimilar to the ebbs and flows of the life that we have become accustomed to.

So, how can we take it further? How can we evolve beyond the limitations of our mechanistic boundaries to allow the true transformation within our spiritual self?

Often we are limited not by what we believe we lack, but rather what we do not acknowledge within ourselves. Let me take this further…

As beings that exist through connection to others and our environment we come to rely on these external factors to assist us and at times cause the shift we require irrelevant and oblivious of what is happening within ourselves.

Many of us would be familiar with constantly asking others for advice, seeking approval from others and depending on others to feel part of something.

The irony is that underneath all of this, the whisper that we know is there which highlights the feeling of an unfulfilled void, we choose to ignore as somewhere along the way we lost trust in ourselves and the connection to self.

It can become such a vicious circle of endeavouring to fulfil the void through external means which only deepens the void with self. This no doubt is familiar to many, if not most, of us at some point in our journey.

So we come back to the question of how to go further; how to take your spiritual self to the next level?

The first step is actually rather simple. It starts with the connection to self; the connection between the physical, spiritual and ego. Ego has many names however, when used in conjunction with aspects of self; ego is the easiest term to use.

To be in the spiritual it is not about disconnecting from all the other aspects of self, rather it is the inclusion of; it is working holistically as one for the greater good and being aligned to your ethereal purpose. An analogy would be trying to drive a car with no motor or no wheels. All parts must be present for the car to move forward. We are similar.

The second part of being in the spiritual is to go within; it is taking the journey into your inner self to listen to the answers that you seek which will provide you the guidance and support you need to go further in your journey.

This can be done with others in a group however; ultimately, the core must be done with only the aspects of self. There is no point asking others for advice on what to do next or where to go because any response you receive will be based on that person’s journey, not specific to yours. This is what makes this so incredibly amazing.

There is no judgment in this process, only unconditional love to allow you to be and connect to the true essence of self through the spiritual.

The answers are and will always be within. When aligned they will be heard more clearly and more easily. The ability to move forward will become the natural evolution of your being.

To be in the spiritual is a magical place and it takes you to be you in entirety.

ENERGETIC ALIGNMENT


There is so much change taking place at the moment. This is from an individual perspective as well as a planetary and it does not seem as though it is going to stop any time soon. There is no doubt that the planet’s expression of earth quakes, tsunamis and so forth are horrific and heart breaking. It leaves me wondering, aside the necessity for balance, the approach of 2012, what else is influencing the severity that we see now too frequently around us.
I can ponder and speculate that which I have received in conversations with my angels and spirit guides however, given the amount of heart break I wanted to touch on something a little lighter and more thought provoking. Perhaps with a feel that will provide food for thought or a sensation of lingering hope.
The changes that have been occurring on a personal level, for all of us as individuals have been intensifying. We are coming into a full moon that will provide a huge shift and an increase of energetic vibration for all those ready to go to the next level, again. The stage of normality is now more about shifts and integration than lapsed periods of flow. It is an interesting stage to be in and whilst this can fluctuate the senses, it can provide an element of enjoyment throughout the process.
I have previously spoken about my journey into my purpose as a healer. I had received a huge push back in December. It was an interesting sensation where my conscious struggled to understand or comprehend this, however, as many of us energy workers know, it is not important for the conscious to be present let alone necessary to understand. Since then the push has significantly increased and with each shift it is becoming almost blatant how much I need to be in this space to truly align to my core purpose.
Last week I received an unexpected call from a desperate person at 2.30 in the morning wanting a reading. I was half asleep and my conscious mind was grasping at what to do to assist this woman. There was only one thing I could do – connect to the universe and see what it was that I needed to tell her. Within a matter of minutes the universe responded and I was able to assist her.
After I hung up from her I was so connected and completely bouncing off the walls that it took me two hours to relax and be able to get back to sleep. It probably took this long for the simple fact that it was a beautiful feeling to experience. It is the being present without being present; it is the impression of bliss, peace and unconditional love surrounding you all at the same time. Whilst this tends to happen during readings, I think because it was the time of the morning it was that it tended to resonate even more strongly with me than before.
What came out loudly from this experience was that it is a time where many of us are at cross roads. We have an opportunity to align ourselves to the universe in a way previously thought inconceivable and due to the horrific tragedies, through this alignment we have an opportunity to help many across the planet.
We have the opportunity to provide healing and guidance as a collective. In doing so this will assist the planet to gain balance faster and hopefully decrease the severity of catastrophes.
Consider where you are in your journey and the path of your purpose that resonates with you from within all the way to the essence of your higher self.
Consider how you can use these energetic shifts to align more effectively to a higher vibration and allow you to be at one with yourself, the universe and the planet.
Be open to the light within and allow it to guide you to the purpose of your path. It is there that the unconditional love and bliss will embrace you and allow you to fulfil the impossible.

An Energetic Reflection

There is no doubt that this year has been extremely intense for all of us. The subtleties of the shifts have been completely omitted as the wash of enthusiastic transition affects us. We have seen some dramatic weather conditions from floods, cyclones, typhoons and fires that affected us on some level, whether personally or through our empathic nature. The weather itself has left us bewildered as to what is to follow in the coming months.

On a deeper level clearly a lot is going on. When it is so blatant in the conscious we can only assume that underneath we are truly feeling the force of change upon us.

Is it in preparation for December 2012? Is global warming finally taking its toll? Or is it something else altogether?

I have heard a myriad of theories and the varying beliefs are rather interesting. The fact is for the most part there are only speculations from within and the perceived relevance of how these changes impact upon us.

Energetically we speak about increasing our vibrational level to align to our higher self more efficiently, we consider methods to create balance through meditation, and then, many of us are seeking an answer to the purpose of our journey. In addition to this, we seek to increase our personal awareness and develop further than where we are right now.

I wonder, how many of us know, when we have attained each of these levels. How do you know that you are aligned to your higher self to the point that the binds of the physical world become transparent and fluid? Whilst I know the answer for me, have you ever considered that the teachings of others is based on their own experiences and like understanding why the planet is emphasising its change, anything that holds relevance for us specifically can only be defined by the individual, not the masses?

I often hear stories of people that want to be “like” someone famous and I wonder how much of themselves they lose when they decide to take on the path of another. Would it not be the case that your lessons would be altered and you may actually lose the essence of what is right for you?

So, what does all of this mean? There is speculation, perspective and that which we become consciously aligned to. We all have the ability to find suitable boxes to put our beliefs into at appropriate times. However, I wanted to put this to you – should you choose to remove your conscious beliefs of what you have been told and what is shared by others; then take a moment to reflect from within and ask the question of what is happening relevant to you – what would the answer be. You may be surprised that it is completely different to what you had expected and thought was the case.

The interesting aspect of fulfilling your own purpose upon your journey is the need to reflect from within, speak from within and align from within. There is only ever one that can ensure your purpose remains pure and authentic, and that is you. When we allow our conscious to dictate what is without really allowing our higher self to serve us as it is intended, we lose the value of its presence. In turn, we may lose connection with ourselves and become dependent on the external.

Consider where you are in your energetic journey and what you see before you. Take a moment every day in the quiet of yourself to ask the questions that matter and benefit from the answers that are truly authentic to you.

Me,Myself and I, Notes from a Solitary Practitioner

Rayneschild March, 2011

A couple of years ago I read about using the energy from the full moon to charge water for future use in spells, cleansing, whatever.  I don’t remember which author it was to give proper credit, but I use it quite often and Ostara happens to come under that category.  It’s best to use spring, ocean, or rain water, something from the elements and catch it in a non-metallic container.  Put the container outside where the light of the full moon can shine on it unobstructed all night and then bring it in before it is touched by the sun.  Keep it somewhere dark like a closet, etc., and dip it out to charge for use.  In my Ostara ritual I am specific about the mountains I’m lucky enough to live in since Spring here is like watching the Earth Mother reawake every year and that in and of itself is a blessing, Happy Ostara!!!

On this blessed first day of Spring I cleanse and claim this sacred ring

With water touched by Goddess light under the Horned God’s golden light

My altar too is sacred ground, blessings of love and joy abound

Witnessed by both stone and tree

This is my will so mote it be!

I give thanks for the blessings of Spring

The mother brings new life to everything

She lovingly whispers to each creature and tree

Come dance in my circle I have new life for thee

And here in my own circle I ask the Mother’s gift

That along with all the seeds and bulbs

My spirit too will lift

It’s Ostara in the mountains which are a gift to me

And it is with deepest reverance I give my thanks to thee.

INCREASING YOUR ENERGETIC AWARENESS

As I sit in a local café, I allow the music playing from my iPod to flow through my being whilst considering what January’s article should be about. A myriad of ideas run through my mind and I finally decide on one.

During the past month I was privy to an event that even though it was unexpected, was in fact extremely natural and brought to light the clarity of natural evolution through awareness.

Whilst clearly my path is of an energetic and spiritual nature I had not actually conducted an official reading prior to this month. It was something that just happened of its own natural accord. I would receive some information, ask permission to pass this on and inform the person of what had come through. Sometimes it was a flash of information and at other times the conversation was more in-depth, depending on what the universe deemed was necessary.

Because this gift is part of who I am and is incorporated in all that I do, ironically the thought of isolating the readings to something specific had not occurred to me. The catalyst was when in one of my moments of receiving some information the person asked whether I had a flyer she could pass on. That one I did not see coming and yet, it was not surprising. It was more the sensation of a light bulb moment where complete clarity was found and I felt a part of myself being reconnected; coming home if you will.

Since this realisation came to light I feel more connected to myself and my purpose allowing this to enter into my consciousness from the unconscious mind. Put more simply, an increased level of energetic awareness.

This got me to wonder that on our spiritual journey there is a constant evolution within us, often to a degree that we are consciously unaware, let alone to the extent. We notice occasional shifts and often overlook the significance to ourselves.

I have spoken about our gifts in previous articles and given the energetics shifts that are occurring during this time of year, consider taking advantage of where you are in your journey and taking this to the next level.

I am not suggesting doing what I did, as this is what was right for me; rather what is right for you, which only you will know. This may be case of acknowledging your level of awareness or perhaps reconnecting to your energetic support, be it your familiars, spirit guides or angels.

Reflect upon the year, the events and who you are today compared to twelve months ago. What has happened and what have you allowed within yourself that has increased your vibrational level and your connection to your higher-self? Consider where you would like to take that over the next twelve months or how you can really embrace the amazing sensation that comes from inner growth.

We are all energetic beings inspired through the connection with the universe. Increased awareness allows us to fulfil our individual purpose which contributes to the greater good. Whatever the purpose of your journey is, allow the light within your energetic being to guide you to the answers. Sometimes the most natural choices can be the most fulfilling.

Love the journey and be one with the journey.

Energetic Shifts

Over the past couple of weeks there has been a real feel of increased sensitivity and at first I was convinced it was my female being rolling with the flow of natural evolution. However, as the week became two weeks and now hinting into three the increased sensitivities and the clarity to awareness are yet to be dulled.

So, I decided to ask around and see if this was just me. Was it?

It was then I realised that there are energetic shifts occurring. Some of us will feel it more than others and sometimes at different times. It can be because of the journey each of us are on and also what we need to continue with our growth. All the while we will end up where we need to, providing we are open to what the universe would like us to learn; which mostly tends to be about ourselves.

There has been a prediction earlier in the year that 2010 will be full of such shifts due to the earth and the planets going through their own necessary conversion. This is more than what has been in the recent years. Consequently, being one with the universe we will all feel it in our own ways. It makes Mercury Retrograde seem like a walk in the park at times because we become accustomed to what we should expect and when the energies flow in their natural course we are being brought into the darkness of the unknown, fortunately coming out of this with more light and abundance.

Ask yourself if perhaps you have been noticing this shift as well. For those that are aware of their gifts this will be more pronounced then those still coming into this part of your journey. Perhaps answers are landing upon your tongue so much faster than previously, or perhaps feeling a little more sensitive to crowds, to music and to other influencing energies that otherwise would have been ignored. Whatever it is that may be affecting you in your way it is clear that the universe has decided it is time for another shift to assist us in reaching a higher state of consciousness, or rather, unconsciousness as it was.

There is a belief that with 2012 approaching there will be many more of these energetic shifts occurring to prepare us for an even bigger shift late 2012. I am inclined to believe that it is not about a date but rather about our readiness for where we need to be. The planet is growing through its own shifts and transformation into what it needs to be to provide and grow and so too must we to align to the universe as one; yet individually unique to each of us. That is how the beauty of universal energy can work.

It is easy to get caught up in the day to day grind of what we must do; what we must be that often we forget or put our spiritual selves on the back burner for later, or a time when it is going to be “right” however, our spiritual selves are part of us in essence and as we laugh, cry, love, pay bills and get the children to school, our spiritual selves is part of all of this every day, every moment and all we need to do is remember to include the part that helps us become more ourselves in entirety.

The more we embrace ourselves the more easily these shifts will be to adjust to and prosper from the increased awareness.

In terms of this amazing shift that is taking place sometimes it is not about the why and it is a place where logic seems more lost than the basis of our foundation. We must open our heart, our minds and our ethereal beings to all the magic, beauty and magnificence that are within us. It is the evolving, learning and growing aspect of who we are and desire to be sitting within the palm of our energetic hands.

The path of an energy worker is never dull and the abundance of light continues to astound me. Enjoy what shifts may occur with you; the increased energetic transformation and brilliance that may be embracing you in this very moment.

Grounding Your Energy

When we consider that we are made up of predominantly water and energy it is no surprise how sensitive we really are; sensitive to our external forces whether it is planetary alignment, the moon stages or even projections from other people.

The amount of times we can go home from a party feeling drained and put it down to having a late night never considering we may have assisted someone unload onto us. The downside of this is that if we are unaware of this, we believe it is our own energy reflection and a whole internal process begins to deal with it. The thoughts that follow can be in line of “what’s wrong with me” or “why I am so emotional” all the while not recognising that we have kindly taken something home.

It is important to include grounding in your day to day life, particularly for those that work with energies. With this said, a good practice of grounding is recommended irrelevant because it will assist with decreasing stress from work, removing energies that may have been consumed through food or gained through touch.

Before I go into the basic fundamentals, one thing to understand is that energy is a beautiful and powerful thing. We each have the ability to use it to our advantage providing us with greater awareness, directed energy to assist with focusing and healing.

Like with many elemental attributes it is important to respect the boundaries including your own. I will never advise to use energy to harm another or for greater gain through injuring someone. When I speak of taking advantage it is in line with maximising the potential of your own skill to assist you in furthering your spiritual journey.

Using our attributes to manipulate another will only result in this coming back by three, if you are lucky, not to mention that chain reaction this can cause throughout the planes. Worst of all, this will take you to a dark place which can create a spiralling hole that you find yourself drawn to more and more. Then, eventually you find yourself consumed with nothing else and to get out of this is near impossible. Naturally something I advise to avoid at all costs particularly when we have everything we need within us to provide us with light, love and happiness. Sometimes the dark can seem very tempting, rest assured it is a farce and will cost more than you could ever imagine.

We often consider that easy is better because we tell ourselves it’s all too hard and so seek some form of reprieve. The funny thing about easy is that is a matter of perspective. We believe the unknown to be fearful and hard because we have no control over it, yet will look for an easy out when it does not provide anymore of a guarantee. Using your energy is along the same lines. Because it is part of who you are allow it to naturally guide you and assist you, which in turn will be very easy. When it is forced it will be hard and we tell ourselves that it can’t be done – simply it is a matter of working with the energy rather than against.

In terms of grounding daily there are multitudes of ways this can be done and it really comes down to your own personal practices.

  • Initially I would smudge myself and my home before I left for the day and when I came home.
  • Now I have a salt lamp burning in every room and cleanse my home regularly.
  • I also do the traditional Reiki grounding of placing the palm of the hands on the balls of the feet (same hand to same leg, never cross over) and allow the calm to fill me.
  • There is burning white sage regularly.
  • Also, eating grounding, rustic foods will also assist with grounding. Ensure it is cleansed from external energies and this can provide a harmonious way of grounding.

When you ground yourself consider the senses that you have and use this as a basis for grounding:

  • Taste – eat grounding food.
  • Smell – smudging, burning incense or essential oil.
  • Feel – smudging, holding the salt lamp and taking a breath in, hugging a tree, sitting on the earth (or embracing plants in your home or garden).
  • Hear – lie on your couch, bed or somewhere comfortable and listen to the universe; the birds, the wind, the rain.
  • See – Look beyond the material world; see animals, the universe live and breathe by sitting in a garden or looking out of your window.

As energetic beings we are very powerful and very blessed to experience life in such a myriad of ways where each day provides something fresh for our senses.

The more our awareness grows the more we are able to connect to our ethereal selves and the universe in its true and natural state. It is this power that is so beautiful and in this, we want nothing other than to be.

The Energy in Emails

Last month we covered the energetic imprint left in food and the affects that this has on us, which sometimes is positive and other times to our detriment.

The energy trail we leave is ever-present on all that we do. It is no surprise that we are predominantly energy filling matter. Perhaps with this in mind it is no surprise that electricity was found as a core source in how we live.

Movies such as the Matrix come to mind in how powerful we are as energetic beings. Those that work in healing, metaphysics or anything that is on another ethereal plane will understand the magnitude of what we are each capable of. It is pretty amazing and we are yet to reach our potential.

In terms of our energetic imprint I wanted to cover the relation between this and cyberspace, being the internet, the worldwide web, emails, webinars, Skype and the list goes on and on with the various ways that we can communicate these days. In some respects it is supposed to make life easier, but then I wonder…

In terms of emails, have you ever received an email and felt something wash over you, like an emotion and yet what was written before you may have been completely logical and removed from emotion?

Have you ever received an email and felt an energy come through that was nothing like the person that sent it?

It took a bit of time for this to make sense to me and when it did I was surprised that energy is not hindered by anything let alone email or the internet.

Those that are empathic may have their own stories to tell with technology and energies. Perhaps it is a blown light or two when in an emotionally heightened state?

In terms of energy over email, I will explain what I mean.

Consider the logic of what I am saying. As humans we leave an energetic imprint on everything we do, visit, touch and so forth so would it not be also possible to send our energy energetically via an electronic form of communication? Reiki can be done over a distance so why not generally?

This afternoon I received an email that was business related and in essence about as exciting as a menu to a closed restaurant and yet, the energy blasted through to me. I had to come back to finish reading the email because there was so much there. In questioning what I received I went to the person directly to gain a sense of where this was coming from. However, the energy in person was completely different.

The thing with energy imprints is that it can often be different to what someone is in person because it is the authentic energetic imprint, not the façade that we all like to use from time to time. There is no place to hide, it is about as real as it gets.

I went back later to the email and read it objectively opening myself to what was coming through and I was taken aback by the imprint. It is interesting to see someone in one way, particularly having consciously chosen not to tune into them energetically and then being confronted with their authentic imprint.  It is as though a light has been turned on.

We can all tell stories and hide secrets behind our smiles. But our energy is our present truth.

The next time you get an email, tune in to how you are feeling when you read it. Is it reflective of the person that sent it or does it say something else? Perhaps, it will allow a better understanding to the intent of the content which, with written words, can sometimes be lost or misunderstood.

Consider what your intent is when you send an email…

Food and Energy – What This Means To You

NB: The energy of food and the affects this has to your ethereal being is a huge topic; this is a snippet…

Recently I had this interesting experience where it was a cold, wintery day and I had rushed outside to go to the local café to get some soup. Usually their soup was full of warmth, grounding substance and very, very tasty.

This particular day I realised the usual chef was not in but did not think much of this. It is not something that one would consciously think would matter too much. That was until I got the soup back to my office and as I lifted the lid I heard my spirit guides yelling in my ear to not eat it. I looked at it and it did lack the usual finesse and I had one sip of the soup and that one sip was enough to understand that it had no taste. Not only that, it is hard to ignore if being screamed at. So, as a result the soup ended up in the bin and I got thinking about what was really going on.

Can you recall a time where you went out of to enjoy lunch or dinner only to be met by a disgruntled waiter that for some reason decided that today you were going to wear the issues of the day?

Though you brushed it off and put it down to them having a bad day; what transpired was receiving some very average and almost disappointing food. After leaving the place you felt this heaviness slowly come over you and as the day progressed could not help but turn into a subtle version of the waiter from earlier in the day.

Perhaps it was not as obvious as that. It may have been a bad coffee, an average sandwich or a tasteless soup.

As energetic beings we leave an energetic imprint on everything we touch, even if we walk into a room we will leave a slight energetic imprint of ourselves there.

In the case of preparing food, it may be touched by several people before it reaches you, which means you receive a bit of everyone when you take those first and consecutive bites into your food.

Some use Reiki symbols to negate this which leaves the food in its true form and often has a sweetness unlike anything else.

Consider the term “cooking from the heart” which brings to light that when you make something with pure intent and pure of heart, no matter how basic it is, the food will taste great and be well received by others.

Going back to energy transference through food, be aware of how powerful we really are as humans. Be aware of the impact this has on you and how this awareness can allow you to gain the most in the simplest of situations.

There are so many places to eat and so many options in terms of food. Be selective and go with what feels right for you. The chances are that you will feel fantastic for it.
