So, let’s say you come in at night and you feel dirty or grimy in your energy field. The easiest way to describe the “dirty energy” is how Charles Shultz visualized the dust clouds around the Pigpen character in Charlie Brown. The psychic dirt is for the most part harmless, but it isn’t part of your intrinsic energy and doesn’t need to be carried by you. One technique that I use in my home and office is the psychic shower of Light. I visualize that in the entranceway to my house and above the door to my office there is a psychic waterfall or shower of shimmering white Light that cleanses all extraneous energy from my etheric field before I walk in. I stand before the threshold of the door, see the waterfall of Light, then as I pass through, I allow the shimmering Light to wash off all negative or clinging energy that doesn’t serve my Highest Good. This way I know when I enter my house or office, I am not trailing in anyone else’s grimy energy. I also spray or wipe down my doorframes with essential oils to add that extra energy of integrity. Some essential oils that are handy to have around for cleansing are *cedarwood, cypress, geranium, juniper, lavender, lemon, lemongrass, mugwort, orange, peppermint, pine and rosewood*.

Speaking of showers, you can also use this waterfall visualization in an actual shower. Stand in your shower and allow the water to run down your head and body. Imagine that the water is white (or any color you wish) Light and that it is cleansing off your energy body as the actual water cleans off your physical body. Then once the cleansing is over, sometimes it is nice to fill yourself up with Universal Light and Love to revitalize your auric field. This is done by simply changing the visualization from cleansing to filling energy and imagining your body being filled with wonderful, sparkling Light and energy. It is one of the most refreshing showers! And to top it off, have an atomizer filled with essential oils available and spritz your energy field after the shower to ensure integrity of your aura. Some oils that revitalize and seal the aura are *frankincense, lemon, rosemary, bergamot, vetiver, geranium, sage, patchouli, or mugwort*. You only need one or two oils in a solution, though I sometimes use 4 or 5 if I feel I need the extra cleansing power of the essential oils, especially if I’ve been traveling in an airplane or have gone to DC or another major city.

A fun way to keep your energy field clean when you know you have to be out in crowds is to place a photo of yourself on a flat surface and drip some drops of essential oils around the photo, setting the intent that these oils keep you clean of all superfluous negative energy that you may encounter in your journeys. The circle of oils will hold an invisible shield around you and deflect anybody’s energy that you don’t need to co-mingle with. Likewise you can spritz a solution of essential oils over your photo to cleanse off unwanted energies and to keep you clear of psychic debris, either before or after your encounters with the outside world. Some efficacious oils for this are *angelica, eucalyptus, tea tree, melissa, sage, jasmine, clary sage and basil*.

In past times, smoking a peace pipe or using tobacco or peyote was a ritual of peace and brotherhood. Now there is a lot of judgment around smoking and it no longer binds us in communion. There is a very negative charge around smoking causing many people feel guilty or bad about their actions. This sets up a depressive energetic in the body that compounds the physical effects of the smoke. One way to dispel the negative energetic charge is take the tobacco or whatever you are going to smoke, and dedicate the it to a Higher level of Being for protection and union with that Being. Anytime we call in the deities, angelic realms or ascended masters into ritual, and dedicate the action to them, they surround us in protective Light against negativity. Having essential oils burning will also help to dispel the negative charge of the action of smoking. Oils that assist are *peppermint, cinnamon, sage, clary sage, juniper, lavender, pine, lemon, rosemary and vetiver*.

Of course, as I said, if you are balanced, centered and spiritually strong, you might not need to do any of these cleansings. When your auric fields are clear and full of integrity, you are naturally shielded and no negative or unwanted energies can permeate. But as I see it, most of us take daily showers to clean our physical bodies, so why not energetically cleanse off at the same time. All it will do is continue to strengthen our auric fields and keep our energetic integrity up. I feel visualizations like these are just good practice in spiritual health.

One of the universal laws of manifestation is-– thought precedes energy , energy precedes manifestation. When you introduce the thought, it creates energy and eventually if it is for your Highest Good, it will manifest into reality.

Whenever I feel unable to maintain neutrality or am emotionally invested in someone’s well-fare for personal desires, then I know I have to detach and take my concerns to the higher planes. It will not help the individual for me to try to influence them to do my what I want if they aren’t on board with it. They are their own person and have to navigate their own path alone. I can offer guidance, in a non-judgmental or non-agendaed way, but I cannot tell them what to do. Even if I think that what I feel is right, I have to let the other person come to their own choice from their own inner space of knowledge.

That’s when I take them to the higher planes. The higher planes are another dimensional space where there is no duality or polarity. <txp:image id=”159” class=”imageleft” />

It is a higher dimension, vibrationally resonating to the 5th dimension or higher depending on your clarity and ability, where you meet the other individual in a state of grace and acceptance.

We all have a Higher Self, an all-wise aspect of self that knows our Soul’s journey here on Earth. It is aware and helps us follow our pre-destined journey, keeping us on track with what our own Inner Being wants for our Soulic progression. We all have this divine guidance system that, in meditation or quiet contemplation, we can hear. It helps us to make the right choice for our Soul’s evolution and helps us to self-actualize here on Earth. We all have a Higher Self, a Light Being that we are at our core. It is this Light Being, (a golden or effervescent energy self) that radiates Soul knowledge and goodness. And it is this Being that we take to the Higher Planes for help in whatever challenge we have.

So let’s say you want something from someone and they just refuse to see your point or believe in what you say. Maybe you want a promotion and need them to see you as competent. <txp:image id=”158” class=”imageright” />Or maybe you want someone to respond to you in a more loving manner. Their personality, here on Earth, is self-absorbed in its own ego self, and can’t hear you or see you as you wish it to be. And yet you want to feel heard by this person.

So, here’s the technique. You find a quiet place to meditate, and drop into a sacred space of open-heartedness. See yourself in your Lightbody or your Higher Self body up in the higher dimensions. See yourself as radiant, as whole and complete and one with your Soul’s destiny. Sense that what you wish to manifest is for your Highest Good, that if you create this desire, it will assist you on your path to enlightenment. If you feel that you are in alignment with your Soulic path, then call the other person to you in your mind’s eye. See the other individual in his or her Lightbody, radiant and knowing what is right for them. If it feels appropriate, explain to them, on this higher plane, what it is that you tried to say earlier in your challenge. Explain your position, coming from a heart space, with compassion and neutrality. You are not trying to change them. This isn’t about them. It’s about you being heard. So explain your position in an open-hearted way and sense that they are listening. In your mind’s eye, still see them as neutral, as a Lightbody of their higher wisdom. It is only when you meet them as equal beings of light and compassion, that your words will be heard.

You may have to meet them on the higher planes a few times to really sense that they are hearing you. But eventually, their Higher Self will filter your information down to their sub-conscious and then to their consciousness, and they will then understand you when you say your words again to their 3-D face.

Very often we, on the mundane 3-D planes, are resistant to change. We have been programmed to be set in our ways and change can be threatening. But if you first introduce change into the energy body, then it will filter down into the mental body and be far more likely to manifest. As stated earlier, the universal laws of manifestation are – thought precedes energy , energy precedes manifestation. So you introduce the thought, watch it create energy and eventually if it is for your Highest Good, it will manifest into reality. The more you take one specific energy or thought to the higher planes and introduce it (with neutrality and compassion) to the higher self of the other person (or group), then the more energy is created and the more likely it will manifest. But remember, the final clause to say is always “If it is for my highest good, right here right now, in my Soulic journey”. If it is not, then whatever is for your best, will have a chance to create, since there is already a great wealth of energy created for Soulic manifestation.
