Journey Journal: Awaken Your Light Body

Posted on by
Reply

I’ve been on an amazing journey

In December I completed the last meditation with DaBen and Orin, in the Awaken Your Light Body Course, by DaBen / Duane Packer, and Orin / Sanaya Roman. I’m not “done,” I don’t think that there is any finishing with this type of course and learning, but I am prepared and equipped with new tools, and variations of techniques that have expanded and deepened my own personal journey. I think that this was part of the purpose for me: Awaken. Expand. Deepen. I am integrating.

It has been a year of discovery and I wanted to extend a big thank you to the creators of the Awaken Your Light Body series, I do indeed feel more deeply connected to my personal path and through the expanded states of awareness, and integrating these into living, I feel that I’ve really shifted some of the stuck energy in my life through awareness. 

From the creators:

DaBen and Orin invite you to awaken your light body and experience many higher, expanded states of consciousness that take you beyond thought into direct experiences of beingness.  This is one of the most powerful courses of spiritual growth and transformation that we offer. Thousands of people are awakening their light bodies using the processes and energies transmitted by DaBen and through the personal and spiritual growth meditations and processes given by Orin.

As you awaken your light body you will learn how to change less harmonious energies into positive ones, and use the energy around you to go higher. You can experience a greater ability to experience flowing emotions, stay centered, release stuck energy, and respond with love and compassion. Your light body opens doorways to the higher realms of light. It assists you in adding light to your thoughts, opening your channel upward, and connecting with the Universal Mind. You can experience many illumined states of consciousness as you listen to these guided meditations.

This course works well whether you are new to meditation, or have meditated for years.  Learning how to work with the subtle energies, as you will do in the light body course, can enhance any path of spiritual growth you are on.  There are extensive graduate light body courses offered, to continue your expansion into the enlightened states of consciousness that the ancient spiritual and sacred texts speak of.

If you want to explore if this course is for you, you can read additional information at What Is the Light Body? including how the light body centers are different from the chakras as they exist at a level higher, closer to source, than the chakras.  Because of this, working at this level can bring about an even greater transformation in your life and consciousness.

My first responses to the audio journey (transmissions) and the altered states of higher consciousness that they stimulate, was immediate and emotional. I felt as if I had accelerated into a light-speed learning process. Parts of my mystery school training (Temple of Witchcraft) were essential for myself as I found that lessons from the Living Temple in harmony with the light body process.

In fact I would say that the AYLB journey’s are a return to much of my inner-journey-work from a different angle.

I had my moments great and small, intense, emotional, dreamy, far out and frustrating as I learned to flow and know in new ways. I am looking back at a profound body of work and a wonderful journey. This light work is process of heightening, deepening, and tuning your own inner faculties, and expanding them. The journey’s for the most part, are your own… This is one of the most amazing facets of the course. You learn by experiencing, observing, and allowing yourself to flow on the waves of DaBen’s toning and the music of Thaddeus, and the experience is of your making. There are guided meditations where DaBen guides us, or Orin brings us to the Temple of the Masters but still the experience and what you take from it are your creations. 

This is essentially the message that came out of me, our smallness as human beings and our greatness as connected, “spiritual” beings, more than just our ‘self.’ I found parts of me that needed to grow and that growth came in the form of recognizing and accepting memories, and states of being. Some ideas that seemed far out and “spiritual” became breathing moments of life, no longer thoughts but visceral moments of reality. I quickly realized that this was like nothing I had willed to experience before. 

I’m still thinking on whether teaching is the right path for me. I’m comfortable with the privacy and mastery within the one-on-one sessions as I teach Reiki, however if you are interested I can sponsor your learning process in experiencing the expanded states and the Light Body centers with the learning materials, audio journey’s and my experience with Awakening the Light Body. 

CHANNELING

If you are not familiar with channeling that is the first thing you must understand, Sanaya and Duane are not just receiving information from a spiritual source, they are embodied by these light beings, Orin and DaBen.

Trance channeling was very popular in American culture during the 80′s, but it much older and found all over the world in tribal practices and mystical traditions. I remember a lot of information in the form of books and classes, audio tapes and meditations when I used to hang out (and later work) at Mystic Gems in Newark, California. Books, seminars, readers, artists and musicians birthing incredible works of art by stepping aside and allowing the spirit, being, or power to flow through them unhindered. 

Clip from Out on a Limb, by Shirley MacLaine.

It’s a strange experience for some and often times viewed (as most things should) with scepticism, and I mean that from an exploratory viewpoint and not doubt or disbelief. Frankly some things in the mystical world can only be experienced under certain conditions and that takes both a focused mind and what I think some people would call “belief,” that part of us that is the trusting the active part of the imagining mind.

The audio course that is AYLB is brought to you through Duane and Sanay’s channeling of DaBen and Orin.

Although most of the AYLB may seem new, the course can take you to familiar locations through different avenues and with deeper experiences. I found myself entering higher and expanded states of consciousness, deepening my sensitivity of the subtle energy levels, and achieving out-of-body experiences that I had only accidentally stumbled into, or half achieved.

This leg of the journey was amazing and it, or should I say the results of it, are flowing out into all parts of my life. In my art, writing, relationships and my approach situations in life. 

One of the aspects of the coursework that I respect is the lack of entity-worship, and/or following a leader. Orin and DaBen, Sanaya and Duane assisted in my process. Though they do a great job of advertising their coursework through a mailing list, you don’t find any knee bending. The bulk of the message from Orin and DaBen is to progress as a human being, expand your awareness, create a better you, and follow your inner master. 

Thousands of people have created many wonderful expansions of consciousness as they awakened their light body through experiencing DaBen and Orin’s guided Light Body meditations in this course. The Awakening Your Light Body course comes in 6 courses as a home-study course, complete with 12 audio journeys by Orin and DaBen for each course, and instructions that you can follow journey by journey.  You will receive transmissions by Orin and DaBen as they lead you to awaken your light body, and in addition there is extensive written material to assist you.  DaBen and Orin present an easy-to-follow, step-by-step course to assist you in experiencing higher states of consciousness; flowing emotions; heightened creativity; a greater awareness of subtle energies, the higher dimensions, beings of light, and your soul and spirit, the source and essence of your being. 

People say that this course has allowed them to have direct experiences of the higher states of consciousness they had only read about and understood intellectually in the past. It does not involve a prior skill with meditation or higher states of consciousness, but simply a willingness to practice, be playful and inventive, and make a commitment to your growth. The light body is compatible with and can strengthen and deepen your experience of any other spiritual practice and beliefs you have.

What follows is a description of the 6 courses, also called Parts, of the DaBen and Orin Awakening Your Light Body audio course. When you learn the 7 vibrational energy body centers and 3 light body centers through completing these six parts, or from a light body teacher, you are an Awakening Your Light Body graduate.

If you are thinking of expanding your awareness, investing in a new course, and committing to your spiritual growth I suggest taking a look at Awaken Your Light Body. You may find what you like. If you are local and would like to chat more about the programs and beginning your awakening process send me a note, I’m happy to talk more about the journey. 

As always, I hope this finds you well.

The Fools Purpose

Posted on by

The Fool, art and card by James Anderson: http://james-anderson.deviantart.com/art/Fool-tarot-199545597

“Wherever we go, we take everything we’ve even known with us whether we know it or not.”
~Maya Angelou 

Continuing on the energy of the new year, with all the sparkle and success of the Water Dragon, I explore the The Journey, beginning with the fool. This year I began the Tarot Cycle and I invite you to tune into the message and thread.

Today I ask myself to explore the energy of the now. 

Refining

A little meditation goes a long way. I just got back from a walk around Hollenbeck Park, drinking in the early spring heat from the grass, flowers, and birds gone wild around the little artificial pond. Trixie and I spent some time on the hill overlooking the park, meditating.

Well actually, Trixie was sniffing around, I take that this is a dog’s meditation. I needed to clear my head of all the psychic clutter and (unnamed) issues I mentioned on Facebook earlier this week.  

I am now processing a few things. The clash of tumultuous ideas bent on throwing themselves together in my head. The beginning of any adventure is filled with such things and I have set my life in motion.

Two friends offered me a reading, per my Facebook status update “I need a reading” in January, with surprising similarities. I took in the information and sat with it and out came the notion of the motion. This may be how the energy comes through for you so it is important to understand your feeling, to be in touch with your gut. I received a sensation of direction and not a direction glowing like a Las Vegas arrow in the distance.

This is the reason I needed to take a break and get some perspective with a little space. Meditate, dialogue, and ask questions, that’s my way to receive answers.

Hollenbeck Park, LA.

Minutes after I closed my eyes, calmed, cleared and connected, I received some dialogue. While contemplating came my thoughts in the form of a reminder, to recall the original message in this year’s Tarot Cycle, the Fool is breaking away from what has been done before and walking away from the known path, or the way I have always done things. 

Most important was the sudden question, asking me to see the motivation, what is the power of this tarot key, the primary energy of The Fool?

This year begins with the Fool, not because we are a fool, but because we are honoring the rising tide of motivating energy, flowing around us. There are a few primary energies to consider.

Spring is coming. Seeds are turning beneath soil, in some places faster than others. Animals are feeling the coming rush of spring building up and as this energy rises, so does our calling to co-create, and participate! 

There is a social rush of power around equality and money; The flow of financial energy in the world.

We should also consider a few other (major) factors, noting that personal energy, relationships with family and friends, and those around us in our own world have a personal and often back entrance into our energy systems (if we are not mindful).

Yes.

Consider the amount of fear and misinformation, doubt and collective breath that is held over this particular year, 2012. What is the vibration of many-many people collectively believing that this year is an end of things as they are physically? The group mutter and fear about reality. I don’t know that is hints at anything greater than the believed Rapture that did not happen for world but, like most things, it is a watchtower for the actions and energy of people; and how that force can affect us by the direct impact of those collective thoughts (in the form of words and deeds) in our world. 

These forces, some or all, and probably a few unseen, together create the tide and tensions that we experience. It is a vast pool of potential that we can reach.

Awareness is opportunity.

This year energy begins with The Fool asking us how to come at “it” (life, the Path, your path, personal growth, that project) from another direction. To expand our conscious observation through feeling and intuition and to let reason follow and collect after we explore. 

Is the moment asking us to be Aquarian, find the inner tempo, your muse through the feeling, the surge of spring energies and through the exploration deepen your connection to now, what you are committed to, and make your own personal inquiry into your trajectory and approach to your personal fulfillment.

I suggest including a few points in that perspective and to not accept any final answer you receive in your investigation until the (inner) drum beat stops.

Choose. Expand. Find your pace. Deepen. Explore. Learn. Redress. Grow… and I sincerely hope you create Success, whatever form of prosperity that is for you. 

This was my day today and why I am here writing on the blog, looking at my projects, and most importantly, taking in the new frequencies associated with the new year.

Are you exploring? What are you feeling? Where is it drawing you? Is it good for your growth?

Point of Attraction

This is a 17 minute YouTube film of Esther Hicks, speaking about our point of attraction, which she mentions. If you, like me, are moving into and along with the new cycle of energies this year, which I am following through the Fool’s Journey in the Tarot, you have already begun to understand this principle as it is moving into front-and-center-perspective.

My reaction when I watched this was a bit of a giggle and awe. There is an inner flow happening here…

Journey Journal: To Light the Way.

Posted on by

“Way to the Well” (Words by Starhawk and Rose May Dance)

We Will Never, Never Lose Our Way To The Well Of Her Memory
And The Power– Of Her Living Flame It Will Rise, It Will Rise Again. (x2)
Like The Grasses, Through The Dark, Through The Soil,
To The Sunlight — We Shall Rise Again. We Are Thirsting — For The Waters Of Life,
We Are Moving — We Shall Live Again. (x2)

(Yoinked from Ozark Pagan Mamma)

Imbolc. St. Bridget. Bríde.

  • House cleaning. Check.
  • Meditation. Check.
  • A candle, a light, a flame. Check.  
  • Contemplating my desire, creativity, drive by doing, not thinking. Check. 
I never miss the day February 1st, in honor of Imbolc, and for me in respect to the fire and light within myself rising out of the hush of winter and spiraling towards spring. 
Well… as Winter as it gets in Los Angeles, some people are hip deep in snow. Regardless of the moderate seasons I experience, my gut is with the Cycle and change. Planet, people, things are in some season, north, south, east and west. I do my thing. Clean house. I mean really get in and dust, and scrub. Wipe things down, including my altar and creative space. Get into thing and organize. 
I like it. 
Next I bring in the smoke and flame, incense, water, candle and salt. I do this all to make way for light, for the Goddess  Bríde, or Bridget. She represents the light of new life coming in. This time is more than just cleaning, which in itself does a great thing by clearing up the mental and physical clutter, and giving everything a nice feel, it is preparing for this vitality of life. To make way for the living energies, to light the way into the vernal energies just around the bend.
I want to invite something new into my house, a renewal, a spirit of life returning; passion, love, peace, prosperity, health and well-being. This is what I invite in on Imbolc. This is what the day means for me.
It may be off the cuff, a derivative of paths and pagan practices but it is the way I do things; and the older I get the more unfettered I become. It sort of dovetails into my posts on the Tarot Cycle: The Foolish Man. 
Any-who. Here’s hoping that you consider what’s to come by preparing for it now. Light the way for yourself.

“Do what you like to do. And if people get it, that’s great. And if they don’t it’s… They’re missing out.” ~Bjork.

I do hope this finds you well.

Aroma-Reiki: Blending healing methods

Posted on by
1

As you may know I work with essential oils, Young Living, Mountain Rose Herbs, and a few others. I like some various differences in products although, to date, only Mountain Rose seems to have comparable results.

This last weekend I had a real pleasure to practice some integrative therapy. That means I got to give some Reiki and apply some essential oil techniques, fusing some Raindrop methods and other essential oil blends with my long practice of Reiki and more recent Light Body technique.

I have a great post coming out on the Light Body course but that is still in edit.

INTEGRATION

Essential Oils, and Energetic + Spiritual work hold hands in a process that my friend described as, keynotes. “I liked it. When you applied the oils it like sign posts to tell me what part of the process we were at.”

My friend came in with a pulled muscle in her neck that ran down and under her shoulder, as well as some other challenges and left with a happy, if sleepy smile. It was, I think, a good experience for the both of us.

In the session I was able to connect the senses through the body and mind with the aid of essential oils and apply the therapeutic power of Young Living blends to enhance and empower the energy work. Sore muscle moved and the mental and emotional body expanded to allow in the light and vibrations that were just right for my friend.

“You can heal other people by sending them symbols and images. You can heal a situation by envisioning and symbolizing it as easily as you can heal it with words. Symbols are, in fact, more direct and more healing than words, for they are not connected to your belief systems. Think of a situation in your life right now, something you would like an answer to, and ask for a healing image. You absolutely can shift energy by playing with symbols.”

— Orin, Personal Power Through Awareness
