Guiding Thought

I allow my physical body to experience itself fully as Light and Love. My physical body embodies Light; I am an expanded body of Light and Sound. I move as Light, perceive as Light, behave as Light—I am everywhere—permeating, expanding, unifying, and healing. All things are possible.

Reflection

More and more, I am coming to this understanding: In order for the physical body to experience itself as Light and Love, it must be given the physical support it needs to do so.

…At least until the mind is developed enough to transmute energy of all sorts–even the grossest material energy–into Light and Love.

I say, “more and more”, but really this is a slow lesson I’ve been learning over the past 23 years.

In 1994, I was introduced to the Vedic principles of using the elements to clean the body, its systems, and its energy. It’s very simple: Earth-air-water-fire (for more information see here.)

These, in their unique ways, cleanse both the visible (material) energy  of the body, and the invisible energy (what we may call “spiritual”, but may also just be subtle energies that we can’t [yet] perceive).

For 23 years, I have been working with earth-air-water-fire, in different proportions to clean and balance my material body and my energy body.

I am at a point where I can feel when I don’t take my bath and breathe–the energy difference is palpable both literally in my body, and in what may be called my aura. During the past 23 years, I have had a higher proportion of water and air, and a lower proportion of earth, and an even lower (near-non-existent) proportion of fire.

Now, when I don’t take a bath and breathe, I feel heavier. Literally and figuratively. I feel the change that much in my body.

Recently, however, I have been working with a higher proportion of fire and earth–not diminishing my water and air.

Earth, as I have recently been practicing it is: giving the body what it needs to function as a biological organism. Nutrients. Excercise. Sleep. Relaxation (i.e. not stress).

I feel the potential of my body being literally Light. My body feels good. It feels like it wants to run and jump and play. I feel lighter…and I believe that word is apropos. I feel Lighter.

More than this: my emotions are lighter/Lighter; my emotions are more loving and patient.

I feel quite literally that my body can achieve greater and greater states of light/Light, and as it does, it pulls my emotions up with it.

You can achieve it too, I believe. This is what we are here for–to figure out and to achieve!–our Light-Love being-ness in our bodies.

So I keep practicing, getting better, getting Lighter, lifting myself, lighting what paths I can. Try it; try eating better, getting proper nutrition, exercising, taking a bath every day for an hour, sitting with a fire every day for an hour. Clear your mind; tune in to Love; Learn that you are Light…Let’s ascend together, shall we?
