Often our complacency to count our blessings makes them disappear. Are You Still Holding Back? We all have pretty stellar superpowers, but question if the world is acknowledging them. Allowing our gifts to shine is in our control, and when we can do so every negative can be turned into a positive twist. Many of us have a fear of being killed for shining too much light. Even though times are changing, this can still be a deep fear that holds us back. We may want to share with all our hearts, but still not be able to.
Experiencing life is our single most purpose in this mortal body, yet we get caught in complexities unable to see the simple facts. During the pandemic we have realized that life is so fragile, that there is no certainty of tomorrow, so postponing the divine experiences we are here for doesn’t help. Living the simple moments of joy can be great therapy for well-being. No matter what we do the energy plays a significant role, thus purifying and cleansing the energy every day is the best way to drive wellbeing in productivity -performance and peace.
6 Ways to Transmute Negative Energy Into Positivity…
- Therapy of Dance & Music -The San of Africa holds dancing ceremonies where they dance all night, for healing. It can be very powerful to just let go and dance. I like to set an intention to let go of any blocked energy. Then, you can turn on drumming music and just let your body move. There is no right way to move. Just let your body guide you. You can also sing. I set an intention. Then, you feel an ahaha moment. You can let the voice or instrument guide you as well. Let whatever wants to come out, just flow.
- Fire Ceremony –Open sacred space to create a sacred fire. You can use a pit with sticks or camphor on a plate. If you want a long burning fire, place several large logs around the medium sticks. Light the fire and let it build for a bit. Connect with the fire, until you can feel it becoming calm or gentle. Imagine burning all your negative thoughts, emotions, or energy into it and purifying it into wellbeing. Feel gratitude for all that is beautiful and good in nature and our planet. Blow that gratitude into the stick with 3 gentle breaths. You can also write out a rant of all the bad stuff in your mind. Wrap it around the stick and place it in the fire. Watch it burn up. Blow in your intentions of what you would like to call in. Example: “I am calling in clarity, strength, and valor.” or “Freedom to express all of my superpowers.”
- Shift Energy with Water Ceremony –Get a bowl full of water and some stones in your sacred space. Then, take one stone at a time. Hold the stone as you get in touch with the emotion connected with the energy block. Take your time, until you feel it in your body. Repeat this as many times with as many stones as you need. You will feel the energy shift. You can also water the Tulsi plant every day to feel the connection with nature and how the same energy flows through you.
- Breath-work –You could do yogic pranayama or simple long breaths to feel balance in your body. Take a few minutes to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, while seated in a chair. Then, gently move the spine by putting hands on your knees and undulating in a slow forward bend, rolling up to an erect seated position. Exhale on the way down and inhale on the way up. Let the head be the last thing down and the last thing up again. You can do this at a pace that feels best. It is just moving energy out by awakening the spine and breath.
- Throw a Tantrum –I heard a story years ago about an indigenous tribe who would form a circle around someone who was tormented by anger, resentment, or negative emotions. The person in the center had a certain amount of time to talk, yell, scream or throw a tantrum. Then, when the time was done, everyone in the tribe would turn their backs. This was the closure or letting go of the process. It symbolized turning away and facing a new direction, or turning a new page. Then, they would honor the person for their positive attributes, cultivating forgiveness. It can be very beneficial to rant for a certain period, even by yourself. It can be especially empowering to not need anyone to hear it. The focus is to just get it out. Then, turn your back on the space. Visualize it leaving. At this time, you can begin looking at ways to move forward and praising all the good you’ve done. It is powerful to set specific intentions that move in a positive direction. Example: “I will take a 10-minute walk every time I get triggered. Do this until you feel the shift in your body. You can repeat this any time you become aware of stuck energy or resistance.
- Spend time with Plants or animals –Connecting with nature and animals is one of the most therapeutic ways of feeling one with all that exists within you. Experiencing being enough is best realized with these beings while you nurture and communicate with them. This is a sure way to let go of all your pride, ego, and negatives that creates barriers to your optimal living.
