changes in personal vibrations


I have recently subscribed to the Cygnus Review, which every now and again sends out a magazine, showcasing books it is selling. In one of them, Penney Peirce writes about her book, "Frequency: the power of person vibration", and I found what she wrote so compelling that I had to share it here.

She writes about how our vibrations, and the earth's, are moving to a higher level. This means our sense of self is shifting from an identity based on separation, fear and ego, to an identity based on interrelatedness, love and soul. However, this process can make people feel disorientated, frightened and/or uncomfortable. She suggests that we go through 9 phases:

1. Spirit merges with body, emotions and mind. "I feel excited and know there's more to life! I want something better!"

2. The frequency of life increases in every way, everwhere. "I feel shaky and nervous. Everything bothers me. My body aches. I'm tired but can't sleep. I want what I want right NOW!"

3. The personal-collective conscious mind empties. "I'm upset and afraid. Life is too intense and won't let up. My worse fears are taking shape. I can't control myself!"

4. You retrench, refortify, resist and resupress. "I do not have to change! I am in my own world and I'm right! People are driving me crazy. They should just go away! I feel trapped in conflict."

5. Old structures break down and dissolve. "I need to change because nothing is working. I have to let go. I don't know who I am".

6. You stop, let go, and relax into your truest self. "When I let go, it feels good! I can feel my real self everywhere and I love it! In fact, I prefer it, and from now on I refuse to sacrifice this experience for anything.

7. You re-emerge into the world like the phoenix. "I remember what I'm here for and now I want to get on with it! I'm excited about my own destiny! I can easily hold my new frequency, even when other people vibrate at a lower level."

8. Relationships, family and group experience are revolutionised. "I can use my new frequency knowledge to expand my relationships exponentially! Other people love to help me, and I love to help them".

9. Enlightenment is grounded in every bit of matter. "I feel free and unlimited! I can come and go through time, space and beyond as I please. I can create anything and know anything instantly!

Penney explains that the process is fluid, you may bounce backwards and forwards between two or three of the phases, or spend longer in one phase or another. Or you may go through the process more than once. She writes that there is no fixed time for traversing each phase, the process is unique to each person. Eventually everyone will experience the transformation process as it is affecting the whole planet. She considers that the more conscious and proactive we are, the easier and faster we will move through the experience.

Dealing with the past

Recently I have been talking to some angels, using an exercise suggested by Theolyn Cortens in her book "Working with Archangels". Most of the time the conversation is about personal stuff, but when I met Zadkiel one time, he said something which I thought might be useful to others.

At the time I was working with some inner child issues, from my childhood, and felt incapable of dealing with a particular challenge. Zadkiel suggested that I be like the wind, and let stuff pass through me. I said that I could not, because I was a human being, and solid.

He said that as we make ourselves afresh everyday I could cut the cords with the me of yesterday, who behaved in a particular way, and thus create a new me.

I tried it, and it seemed to work.

The Law of Manifestation

This is one of the Laws of the Universe, and is one that has been given quite a lot of publicity recently, with books on Cosmic ordering – that if you ask the universe (or the Angels), you will be given what you ask for (with some caveats!).

In her book Divine Magic, Doreen Virtue lists 7 Universal laws, and she considers that all seven are linked to the Law of Manifestation.

Basically, the Law of Manifestation is based on the Principle of Mentalism. This means that the entire universe, including ourselves and our lives, is composed of an all-encompassing Divine Mind, its thoughts and thought forms. Mind is everywhere, and our true minds (our higher selves) are an extension and a creation of the Divine mind. Everything in your life is thought forms. This means that you create your own universe with the mental images that you hold.

Doreen Virtue also describes the Principle of Vibration – we all know that matter consists of vibrating atoms. Each thought, emotion and mental state vibrates at different frequencies. We can choose to deliberately hold high vibrating thoughts, emotions and mental states. Every thought, emotion and desire vibrates and attracts experiences of matching vibrations. If you’d like to attract better experiences, you must elevate your thoughts and emotions.

In life, this translates as the contents of your mind are always changing, and you can use this principle to change anything in your life. You create your own universe with your mind, and you can alter its contents by changing your mind about your desires. Whilst we live in human bodies on Earth, it is important to acknowledge that matter is real to us. We can change our relationship with matter by elevating our thoughts about it.

How does this work in practice? A while ago, I experienced someone as irritable, grumpy and a bit scary. One day as I was taking photos, I asked if I could take her photo, and it was only later, when I saw the photo, that I realised she was smiling. After that, whilst she was still grumpy and negative, I chose to take her comments as her sense of humour, and I would smile at her, and treated her with kindness. I found that our relationship changed, and this was because I had decided to change what I thought of her, which in turn changed my behaviour.

Diana Cooper writes that the ability to manifest is a mighty power, and that it is essential that you manifest only for the highest good. This means that the first step is to meditate and listen to your inner guidance so that you are clear what you want to manifest. You must have total faith that it is going to happen.

A drawback of the Law of Manifestation is that we are hampered by our emotional baggage and by our 3rd dimensional minds. We could have whatever we wanted from the universe, more than we can envisage, but we end up asking for what we know, we recreate our emotional baggage.

Seraphiel


Recently I have been making angel essences, and there is an earlier post in my blog, explaining what they are. I have made one in the name of Seraphiel.

There is little written about Seraphiel. He is said to be from the first sphere of Angels, closest to God. This group of angels are the great illuminators, and next to God they are the most light-filled beings in creation. In 3 Enoch, Seraphiel is described as an enormous, brilliant angel as tall as the seven heavens with a face like the face of angels and a body like the body of eagles. He is beautiful like lightning and the light of the morning star. As chief of the seraphim, he is committed to their care and teaches them songs to sing for the glorification of God. He holds the highest rank of the Seraphim with the following directly below him, Jehoel and Metatron.

This essence is connected with the element of water. When I meditated with this essence I saw the sea and the bluey green colour of deep sea waters. Water is cleansing, and can dissolve matter. It is also life-giving, and it is said that the oceans hold the balance of the world in check.

The sea is deep, has hidden depths, it is murky, and has secrets. Much of the sea is hidden from us, under the surface, and much of it remains unmapped. This means that this essence is associated with the unknown, things that are elusive, and which change and shape shift. This means that this essence can help to uncover what is hidden, but also opens the individual to the mystery of the universe and the limitless possibilities of life.

Neptune is the God of the sea, and Neptune is also the planet which is associated with a lack of boundaries. This essence is about being fluid and adaptable, and promotes boundaryless-ness in a positive way. It allows you to take in new opportunities, to change direction and not to have a fixed horizon. It enables you to be flexible and to be open to things that come out of the blue, however strange they appear. It can involve trying on different roles; being open to messages and guidance from angels, and having no preconceptions. It can also help you to make choices. It can help you to become someone new.

With this essence, the person will go forward positively and optimistically, enjoying new experiences. They will go with the flow and not hang on to the past. In relationships and situations, it will enable them to see the other side, get on with others, and come to a joint understanding.

Archangel Michael and psychic entities

Sometimes, sensitive people such as healers might find that they have attracted a psychic entity, which has latched onto their aura, perhaps in an area related to a particular chakra where they are feeling vulnerable, or an area associated with extreme emotions.


Entities are beings in spirit. In my experience they are souls who have died but are still lingering on this planet – a trace of their energy remains. They are attracted to people who have good energy because they want to share this energy and experience it for themselves. They are not bad, or evil, but their energies can make the person feel drained and tired, or very cold, or perhaps they might have unexplained symptoms. Someone described it to me as feeling dragged down. They can also change your mood so much so that your personality seems different, so that you act out of character.

Often they are people who have died suddenly and who might not be aware that they have died. You can ask Archangel Michael to help any spirits to go into the light and leave this world, and this includes any psychic entities attached to the aura. Archangel Michael is the commander in chief of the archangels and is said to lead the heavenly forces against evil. He carries a sword made of sapphire, which is deep blue. He gives strength and courage, and people can call on him to protect them.

If you are asking Archangel Michael’s help to rid yourself of an entity, I find it is good to carry out a ritual to give weight to the process. This is what I did recently:
  • I asked for his help and sprayed my aura with Archangel Michael essence spray. This was my way of ‘making contact’ – but you could do it with meditation, or a prayer.

  • I then went outside in my garden and stood inside a circle of growing grass (where a small swimming pool had been all summer).

  • I closed my eyes and centred and grounded myself.

  • I then imagined some wings around my shoulders.

  • The wings (angel) then moved to the entity and I said some words – something like help this entity to the light.

  • I may or may not have imagined Michael using his sword to cut the ties.

  • I imagined the wings (angel) pulling the entity away, and then I imagined some healing light being applied to the area of my chakra, where the entity had been.

  • I could not tell whether the entity had gone, so I checked with my pendulum – and it had.

  • I then began a process of self development on the weakened chakras that the entity had been attracted to.
I think it is a good idea, everyday, to make sure your chakras and aura are healthy. One way of cleansing the aura is to smudge with incense or a sage stick, or by using sound such as a Tibetan singing bowl. You then protect your aura, using the cloak of protection, for example. And then if you are in a busy place or where the energy does not feel too good, re-protect your aura at that time. When you come home, or before you go to sleep, check that your chakras and aura are still OK, and cleanse if you need to.
