I find that meditation is one of the real joys of life.  With twenty years of this inward practice I have found a wide variety of techniques that work for me.  It does not seem that one technique is better than another but more of what you ready for.  Of course there are people who have used the same style for years and that seems to work great.  I like to come from the perspective that there is no wrong and right here but to follow what inwardly attracts you.

There seems to be three different categories of meditation styles.  First is a more eastern philosophy where the objective is to empty the mind of thoughts.  When we create this empty space within us we open to a greater connection to all things.  I like to believe that we are an invitation to receive in this place.  It is not intention that we are creating but invitation.

There are a variety of styles, some people simply meditate with their breath, others may use a mantra or a symbol that they focus upon.  Many other mediation techniques are in the eastern style.

The second perspective is the western style of meditation that is prayer.  Prayer is about placing an intention in many cases.  It is most of the time verbal prayers.  Prayers as meditation are most of the time repetitive.  A good example would be novenas, where a prayer of intention is said nine times a day for nine days to Mother Mary.  Prayers are also cousins to incantations used by the Wiccan faith where repeating a statement or spell  to achieve an end is done many times over days.  Even a common prayer like “Our Father” or “Hail Mary” are meditations especially when done repetitively.

The third perspective is meditation to activate an energetic consciousness inside of us.  One of the most popular would be Reiki as a person would concentrate on a symbol to activate an energy within them.  Reiki symbols activate various energies of the earth and that consciousness becomes a part of us.  We grow into that energy and it changes us in a variety of ways.

There are other modalities out there that have similar styles such as Deeksha, Access Energy Transformation and a variety of others.  This is a wide open area of meditation in that people can access a wide variety of higher conscious sources.  It can be as simple as communing with nature or the earth.  Some people request the presence of angels, ascended masters and others.  With each energy we invite we begin the process of calibrating that energetic consciousness with in.  We become a little bit lighter and open us to possibilities such as healing, more awareness, letting go of limitations and more.

This article is only a short summary to share the immense possibilities of meditations out there.  Even though the styles differ as a whole meditation offers us an inner peace, centeredness, improved concentration, calm and a greater awareness within us.  We transform to something greater and are more connected.  I am always happier when I meditate.  In time it may come your favorite time of the day.

How do I make the expanded consciousness of nature work for me?  How can it increase my bank account?  The latter question is what  many Americans would ask first.  People are more interested in a class on abundance than they are on releasing anger, or on communing with nature.  But its only as we become more whole and aware we will receive more of what we are asking for.  Our internal conflicts and limitations are our biggest barriers to receiving.

When I place the focus on me and ask how I created my conflicts, it all begins to come clearer of what my part is in the limitation.  The affinity that I have for nature is one of my biggest supports in finding resolution to conflicts and an opening to create something better.  The more that I am centered in myself and the earth; the more my relationship with work, business, and loved ones is easier.

In this fast-paced world it is important not to be hooked into the stress and trauma of the world.  Setting the boundary to not get involved with the things that are not my business, to not tread on the affairs of others takes a great load off of my back.

What I have learned from nature is the joyful energy that it embodies.  As I go about my day, I do my best to remember the earth’s energy in my body.  When that spontaneous energy is present in me, it goes into my daily creations.  It is an open-minded presence in me that extends out to nature and pulls it into my life.  Energy and consciousness do not have boundaries time and space.  The choice to be with nature fosters an open-ended possibility with the world.  It allows the world or universe to be open to give to me, and allows me to be open to receiving.

One of the things that I can do to shut it down is projecting on how things will turn out.  For example, thinking of how many people are going to come to a class before the class has begun.  It is a sure fire way to close down the possibilities that you have created for your venture.

The forest does not grow with an expectation of what it will look like.  It just grows. Other factors such as sun, wind, water, and other plants influence it.  In the plant world there is no competition; just the energy to thrive. They are simply happy to grow.

Curses, Hexes, Spells, Incantations And Psychic Attacks In This Modern World

By Bart Sharp

We have all heard of people having a curse put upon them and is generally regarded as a joke not taken seriously.  However if we examine the cultures that practice earth religions such as Voodoo or Santeria we know that curses, hexes, spells, condemnations and sentences are part of life.  Even in industrialized western societies curses have been put onto individuals and homes.  Sometimes the source of a haunting or ghost activities have a basis in a curse-like invocation whose original intention was not to attract negative spirits, the nature of a curse attracts all kinds of negative energies.

A curse is an energy that blocks our flow of life vitality.  For most part a curse is designed to temporarily close down our energy centers or chakras.  The block lingers and generally manifests as an illness due to the lack of energetic flow in the chakras. To make the situation worse the recipient may feel a difference in their body and judge something is wrong which reinforces and encourages our body to perpetuate the illness.  Cultures that believe that curses are real are more susceptible to the effects.

There are different energies that have similar effects on us and our homes that are not actual curses.  Our thoughts are very powerful and can influence others and our surroundings.  A few years ago my wife and I purchased a home from a couple that were odd.  Upon entering our new home for the first time I knew something was wrong when I noticed a baseball bat was sitting in a homemade rack behind the front door.  Suddenly we confirmed what we suspected that the couple was angry, aggressive and paranoid.

The house was dirty so we began the moving process by cleaning the living room.  It was within an hour of our arrival that my wife and I started arguing over a very petty issue.  We were immersed in the issue at hand that made little sense that we would fight over it, yet we seemed to not be able to let go of the anger.  It was almost like an obsession had overcome us.  Suddenly we came to the realization that the energy of the former inhabitants was lingering in the house.  We spent some time clearing their energies and then proceeded to clear our house in a much happier state.

When a person inhabits a room they leave a residue of their energetic self in the room.  When another comes to the room their body absorbs the information and then assimulates it as our body is doing this process thousands of times per hour in any given time.  If we have had judgments towards what the energetic vibration elicits our body reacts to the stimulus according to the way we judged the information.  For example my former wife and I had many arguments before the incident in the new house and judgments about the fights we had.  The energy of the room just stimulated our past and we created a scenario that matched our personal experiences.

I once did a house clearing in a home that had a wide variety of energies from different tenants who lived there over the years.  The current resident simply felt uncomfortable there.  As we toured the house the spare bedroom felt like the energy of depression, which the former roommate was depressed.   The current tenants own room had the absence of sexual energy and anger.  The tenants the year before were experiencing martial problems which one partner was not interested in sex and the other was frustrated about it (that was the story my friend told me).  Once the past energies were realized it was easy to transform the rooms.

When we live in a home for some time it is more difficult to perceive these energies because our body acclimates to the energy.  It is sometimes better to invite someone else in for assistance clearing the home.

I recently did a house clearing in a day care whose staff and students had a high turnover ratio.  A common grievance of the employees was they so angry when they worked at the job yet did not see themselves as that way in everyday life.

The day care that was a former home had an imposing spirit or ghost that did not like company.  With the loud presence of small children the spirit was furious, as his point of view was that it was his home and he was fighting the infidels that had invaded his home.

Once the spirit was removed what was left were the energies of the teachers.  Each classroom that was once a bedroom had a different personal energy; anger, rage, doubt.  The emotion of the room matched the teacher that worked in the room.  Apparently the ghost was able to hook into the teacher and stimulate the fear.  The teacher responded by judging something was wrong with them, or another and reacted from that place.  It made for a very uncomfortable work environment.  Once the ghost and energies were cleared the school became a much happier place.

Sometimes a home is not only is a state of emotional disarray but also there are the energies of drugs or alcohol in the home.  When an inhabitant uses substances on a steady basis the home holds that energy.  When I go into these homes I sometimes become unclear and foggy in my thoughts.  I then realize someone did lots of drugs.  By acknowledging the energy I generally return to my normal state of awareness.  When I use energetic clearings the past drug traces vanish.

Our minds are very powerful and where we place our attention the energy of us goes to that place.  It is how we create the basis of all that we generate in life.  However most people do not utilize their power to make something great.  Much of our power is misdirected in areas of worry, fear, resentments, anger, etc… So we are sending the energy of us to the realities that we create from that.

This is the whole basis of psychic attacks and curses.  The sender sets a strong intention to another.  A psychic attack can be as simple as being angry and sending that energy to another.  It can affect the recipient in a variety of ways in that they are unconsciously defending themselves and using energy in this defense system.  Sometimes the attack is so strong that the person feels the emotion and does not know why they are experiencing it. By acknowledging that we are being attacked and who is doing it we generally disperse the attack.  If we believe that it will not harm us and do not judge the person attacking us is our best strategy.  It recognizes our power with any energy and the futility of those who attack others.
In a curse the sender is either turning off energy, sabotaging the energetic flow of a person or going into another persons inter-dimensional reality and attacking it.  The best defense that you have against these aggressions is your awareness.  If something in your body feels different it is very important to observe it and ask your body, “What is this about?” or “Am I receiving an energy from someone else?”  “Is this energy intentionally sent to me or is this person totally creating this as an unconscious energy?  If so, what is it about me that resonates with this and becomes stuck with this energy?”  Your body will do its very best to give you the information.  However there are times that we need curses to be removed.  The tools that I use with Access Energy Transformation are very efficient and fast in removing curses.

Most of the curses that I remove are from past lifetimes.  We may be in an unsatisfying relationship, which we feel stuck in and cannot leave it.  It could be held by a curse.  I have worked with a variety of people with European ancestry that have curses put upon them to live small and humble lives.  They were magical people before and were cursed never to have that kind of greatness again.  People that can never let their family go may have curses or commitments as a tribal leader to watch over all of their followers.  The continue to reincarnate with them and spend their life being the guardian of the family.  These are a few examples and generally these people have developed psychological limitations that coincide with curse or commitment.  It generally required the person resolving issues in both areas before they are really free of them all.

I have sometimes entered homes, public places or settings in the forest and felt something was not right.  There is a certain heaviness I feel that tells me something negative occurred and the memory of the energy has not left.  It could be as simple as an intense fight.  On occasion I have sensed this was once a site of a ritual that called in negative forces that left a heavy residue.  In some way it has aspects of a curse.  When I do a clearing on a curse the energy shifts immediately.

Bart Sharp works on a variety of topics related to curses on people and homes.   He can expertly find the personal limitations that the person has manifested in their life that matches the considerations that the curse has presented.  Using the tools of Access Energy Transformation Bart clears these limitations quickly and efficiently.

Non-magical folk of this reality see the next great reward in life is probably dinner and it is the same stuff they usually eat everyday.
Magical folk in this reality know the reward is now, what they are, what is in front of them.

Non-magical folk of this reality blame others for their difficulties.
Magical folk of this reality know that in some way they created their challenges and seek to learn the lesson. It is the gift of living.

Non-magical folk live with form and structure and work.
Magical folk like play, creating and curiosity.

Magical folk in this reality are rarely bored they are finding things in life that they adore.
Non-magical folk buy tickets and depend on others to entertain them.

Magical folk of this reality would paint a picture because it is fun.
Non-magical folk would not paint a picture because what they would paint would not be good enough to sell or they are afraid people would laugh at them anyway.

Magical folk like dancing under the moon light on a grassy field with dew drops and mud squishing between their toes.
Non-magical folk are home by the 10 o’clock news.

Magical folk feel first, life is a multi-sensual experience.
Non-magical folk think first, they feel somewhere down the road after that had figured it out, which might not ever happen.

Magical folk believe that there are many worlds and realities out there and they are being created as we speak. Non-magical folk believe what you see here is what you get.

Magical folk see mistakes as a part of life. Non-magical folk fear mistakes.

Non-magical folk see when everything is under control we are safe. Magical folk know control is temporary and so much of life cannot and should not be controlled.

It is almost painful to be non-magical when your essence is magical. Which one would you rather be?

Your heart is absorbing other people’s energies and thoughts at some level all of the time. The distance or circumference that our body and heart are doing this has yet to be determined by scientists. From an observers, non-scientific viewpoint of this concept I speculate it is an individualized talent that ranges from hundreds of yards to thousands of miles. There are those with intuitive abilities that can feel into the energy or consciousness of another that is thousands of miles away. These psychics can do this because of the intimate relationship that they have with their bodies that brings clarity to their natural talents.

We all have these abilities to certain degrees in our own unique ways. A good example of how our sensory systems communicate to us is when we walk into a store and within moments we feel different. We may feel uncomfortable, angry, tired or feel an illness start to come on. These sensations are not originally ours we just absorbed them from someone in the store. We are influenced by other people energetically and for most part are unaware of it. The worst part is that we may believe that there is something wrong with us resulting in the energy or thought becoming stuck in our body. This is how many of our illness’ begin. The remedy is simply asking, “Is this mine?” If the thought or energy was not ours it simply disappears.

There are some thoughts and energies that we seem to attract more than others. The aspects in our life that we judged the most and most severely seem to be what we pull in the most. For example someone who grew up in poverty and hated it, felt less about themselves because of it may continually be resonating with those kind of energies in their body. It is an energy that they know well so they attract it easily. Our awareness that of our limitations and what is occurring inside of us energetically in every moment possible is the best proactive strategy to do this differently. The accomplished intuitive rarely turns off to what is occurring in their body.

We can choose to bring in different energies into our body and life as a conscious choice. There are two aspects in this transition. For example if I wished to break the chains of poverty I might wish to: review my life as being poor, see how I judged it, examine what values that I had learned from my parents and most importantly feel it to the degree of a visceral/energetic experience. As I let the cognitive and energetic memories go I would begin the process of freeing from it. The more that you can learn the energetic feel of receiving less in your life the more apt you are to can it. Once again it is a sensory exploration of your body.

I would also wish to bring new energies in that were prosperous. I would want to feel what it would be like to be rich. If I could give someone a very wealthy person a massage and energetically feel what there body is like. When I could identify what they feel like I would ask my body to duplicate that energy. That is a good example of how we can use our body’s sensory talents to integrate new consciousness in us.

I enjoy teaching classes in communing with nature, people learn how to feel the energies of trees and nature. The forest is a great place to learn these skills of perceiving energy because a tree’s energy is powerful and has no defenses. People are generally blown away how easy it is to talk to trees and feel into the earth. For many they are beginning their vocabulary in comprehending energy. The more they ask their body to perceive this the body generally responds by giving them more interpretations of the colossal sensory reality the body lives in.

It is an ongoing process of becoming a clearer channel to what our body can communicate to us. One of the biggest blocks to receiving our body’s input is our mind’s reality of linear thinking. The linear world has its place in our life but the other side of human consciousness, the clairvoyant is a part of us as well.

One of the easiest things that we can do is simply ask to perceive what our body is telling us. Be willing to listen. If we make a choice to listen within us more our bodies will respond by signaling to us in some way/s. Whatever we are experiencing in our daily lives our bodies are responding and giving us information. It is important to feel the sensations of your body. You may be feeling tension in your stomach, lightness in your heart, a chill in your spine or various other feedback. Ask your body what is the sensation about. Often the next thought that occurs will parallel with what your body is telling you.

For me, when I felt information an inner voice came up from my stomach, I knew that my expanded voice of my body was messaging to me. It has been a process of learning to hear this inner voice that is more infinite than my mind and has knowing that takes in the world beyond my physical presence. Like any muscle practice and application develop it’s abilities.

In my experience the more that I resolve inner conflicts my abilities to decipher my body’s sensory systems improves. Suppressed emotions and traumas block our psychic abilities. What we suppress in our life is energetically recorded in our body. Our cognitive memory is paired with these repressed emotions in our body. Doing some kind of energetic body oriented therapy along side the exploration of the stories resolves these issues so that your body is more free to convey information in an intuitive way to our mind. The body wants to communicate this stuff to us as it heals us and creates more awareness. You body will reward you if you do the inner work that it may need.

To evolve to a higher state of consciousness the answers are not beyond you but within. It is truly a body, mind and soul communion to expand our consciousness. The more we ask to receive awareness our body will deliver.

For example a matrix of consciousness that is currently a strong presence in the world is financial struggle we believe it and then become the effect of that. We do not have to buy into any of these thought constructs. We can thrive when everyone around us is overcome with hard times. It is our choice.

An important key is never judge a situation but observe. When we judge how bad the planet is destructing we hook into the crises. We become attached to the matrix of the fears consciously and/or unconsciously. There are the facts that the earth is experiencing global disruptions and there are strong possibilities of disasters. We can look at these possibilities with a detached compassion.

The more that we can be positive with all of our thoughts we send an energetic message out to the world of positive expansion. It does make a difference if you have an attitude of perceiving others instead of judging them. Of course this is easier said than done. How many of you can say I have no negative thoughts or judgments during the day?

One disclaimer I wish to add is that we all become angry or sad for something that occurs in the present tense. It is unavoidable and natural. Things happen. I am talking about our negativity that is referenced from the past that perpetually reoccurs in our thoughts.

It is a conscious choice that requires a muscle of proactive awareness to be present in us in a positive frame of mind, body and spirit.

I invite the reader to take one activity and be positive in every moment for this week If you are not sure which activity that you should do I recommend doing it during your time on your interactions on the internet. Make all of your thoughts and interactions positive ones. Enjoy your day. Visualize the energy of you being transferred to all of the readers. Gift them your power of presence.

You are a catalyst for change. You are powerful. The more you believe, set your intention and stay with it you can make a difference. Give the world the gift of you.

Going beyond the physical act of the breath it is an energy that can travel to any part of our body. When you breathe feel the sensation of the energy that your breath is. Feel your breath go beyond your lungs and into your stomach. It is the energy of the breath of life, soothing the tension in your abdominal area. Allow each breath you take to sooth and relax the tensions, illness etc. in your stomach. Take the breath in, visualize the energy going to a particular place and transforming it, then as you release your breath the illness, tension etc. goes out with the breath.

I once had a bad case of colitus (irritated colon) from years of suppressing my emotions. Using this breathing technique I was able to release the negative symptoms of holding emotions in my gut. It is all in your intention of where you wish to bring that energy into any part of your body. I find that it is especially effective in the trunk area of your body. I have used this technique to relax, heal and/or energize my heart, kidneys, sexual organs and colon.

I like to take my breath visualize it going through my feet or pelvic floor (if I am sitting) deep into the earth. With each breath I perceive the energy of it going deep into the ground with me feeling a grounded effect in my body. When I release my breath the energy literally moves up into me energizing me and giving me a more integrated feeling. I always feel more aware of how I exist in my body.

You can visualize your breath going anywhere. Each place has a subtle difference in energy. Washington D.C. will feel different than the energy of the trees in a forest. My personal favorite is the center of the earth as its energy is very powerful. An awesome experience was sitting on top of the volcano in Maui and using this technique. I was erupting.

Of course playing with the awareness that you can connect to any energy on the planet is acknowledging that the consciousness of you is as big as the world. Your body has that kind of infinite ability but your mind thinks different. You choose which guides you.

If you feel like you are out of your body part of the time breathing is a good exercise to do. I like to practice the breath when I play sports and I always perform better. When I am doing something mental like writing breathing into the earth makes the process less in my mind and more as a full body experience. The result being that I write in a more creative way because I am more expanded. I always am more creative when my mind and body are in communion with each other.

I invite you the experiment with this technique. Develop your connection with yourselves, your body and the earth.

Please share your process.

Today, we are still guardians of the planet-although most of us do not know it or accept the job. Regardless, the earth is here for us and we for it. When we study the older pagan cultures, we see that the rituals created an effect on the groups that practiced them: they felt a communion with the earth. The chanting by Tibetan Monks, or the beating of drums in rituals, has the purpose of connecting us to the earth, it also serves to heal the earth. The vibration of the sounds changes us, and the lands respond to our growth.

We have a symbiotic relationship with the earth. It is a life form that responds to its inhabitants. As we evolve, the earth changes.

As millions live out their days angry, sad, depressed, anxious, etc… those feelings and thought forms vibrate within the earth to affect the environment.

Our essence is really energy, and it is never just contained within the body. Whatever we are emoting, the earth (and everything else) is absorbing it. The more we clarify our core limitations and let go of our excessive negativity, the more clarity we have in all aspects of ourselves. Through our inner exploration and resolving our limitations, we become an open vessel to give and receive more with ourselves, others, and the earth.

With an expanded consciousness, our energetic being will connect to everything in a way that fosters real transformation. Nature can and will respond to our inner evolution. Our practices with and in nature create the symbiotic growth that many have enjoyed for ages.

The Hopi Indian elders welcome the sun every morning. They believe the sun would not shine on the earth without this invitation. I perceive this ritual as an acknowledgment that the sun, the earth, and humans in communion create something much bigger than as individual entities. Tibetans believe their chants create a vibration that goes out across the world to facilitate peace.

As a collective whole, we are beginning to see that solving the world’s problems begins with us; our inner being’s wholeness. As we identify and resolve our own inner pains and conflicts, we can let go of our personal chains that bind us to a denser suppressed world. As we create and live in harmony with ourselves, we send out that attunement.

As we spend time in prayer, meditation, walking in the woods, or other centering activities, we enhance and develop in our active life what doctors call the parasympathetic nervous system. Doctors say it is related to sleep; but an awaken parasympathetic energy expands our consciousness. It is a place where creative and psychic abilities can be developed. Most people function in the sympathetic nervous system, which is related to all forms of action. Then, when they sleep, the parasympathetic is activated. Functioning in the parasympathetic during waking hours invites more of a healing, magical, and/or psychic potency within us. It is being in an awareness that is relaxed, but alert. Functioning in our parasympathetic is a closer match to the energy of nature. Nature is one of our best teachers to re-learn what is inherently us.

Being in harmony does not mean that you should avoid the emotions that you are experiencing. If you are angry, fearful, or sad, it is important to be present with it; process it; come to clarity or resolution with your feelings.

One of the main reasons people stay angry or depressed is that they are not getting in touch with their emotions in their present or their past. Those unresolved feelings are like energetic weights that prevent us from evolving to a lighter vibration.

When we can look at our limitations; when we do the inner, psychological or meditative exercises that center us; and when we seek an intimate connection to the earth; we open to a possibility of a deeper communion with the earth. We become a clear vessel to receive its messages and energies.

We and the earth can be a conduit for an expanded energy that is sent out to every one. It is a process of inviting the connection to happen with our planet; receiving the energy of the planet; and then letting it come out of you. It is sending a more conscious human energy out. With the assistance of the planet, the energy is bigger than what we could do as individuals or as a collective species.

Something that has occurred in several cities in the world is that groups of people would meditate around the clock in neighborhoods that had high rates of crime. In all cases, the neighborhood crime rates significantly improved! It is called the ‘Maharishi Effect’. If one percent of the population practiced Transcendental Meditation, there would be measurable improvements for the entire population of the planet. I find this concept extremely significant: it is proof that our intention influences everything around us.

The development of ourselves is not only for our own satisfaction and enjoyment. Everyone can and will benefit from it. Including the wonderful planet that we live on. If more of us evolve to an awareness of total consciousness, it makes it easier for others to follow.

The cumulative effect of such an expanded vibration can facilitate a major change on the planet. It is a personal belief that I have heard from several different human and non-human sources. It is why I work at sharing a message of being more aware. It is a target that is greater than what any religion professes but ultimately it is why I believe we are here: We and the earth will transform into another way of being. A life where the earth is an expansive paradise that would be closer to the expression, “heaven on earth” than we ever thought was possible.

As we evolve, the earth evolves.
