Lesson 300: It's Not About Getting Rid Of

Today is to be reminded that clearing is about “getting rid of things”. Clearing is about “letting them go”. Sit with that today and let that sink in.

Over the course of the year, I have learned that clearing is about making space in your environment to welcome in energy that is needed for you. It’s about letting go of things that don’t serve you well. Clearing makes an energy shift occur in your environment to open yourself up to new possibilities. It provides space to be unrestricted. I find that it allows you to be who you are because you get down to the core of your truth. The year is nearly coming to a close and I have found that I’ve really grown the most with the assistance of this course. What a change it has been! Being awakened really makes all the difference.

Lesson 299: The Dark Energies...

…are out there to lower your vibration. They exist in our every day lives and sometimes we just don’t even notice them. Today we are to check where your heart is at. If you are in pain, take a moment and know that you can always allow it to flow through you and then allow it to flow through compassion and connection. Dark energy doesn’t need to stay with you if you open your heart through those passages. Know this and understand this.

I am currently in a low vibration due to being made redundant at my work. Now I need a full time job to survive. I pay for my own bills. I pay for my own mortgage. I am a single person. At the moment, I don’t see the point in doing any of my work because if I’m being made redundant, then what is the point of it all? I should be doing much more towards securing a job. I am currently riding the waves of the emotions that come along with not having a job and no security at the moment. I think what I am most disappointed in, is not having more of a savings for myself so that I could survive a bit better. I am not interested in anything else at this point but securing a job. I do have compassion for myself. I know it’s okay to feel what I am feeling. I know I shouldn’t feel bad. I need to allow it to flow and I will move into connection when I am ready.

I will get out of this low vibration. I just need to go through the pain of it to start moving forward.

What is happening in your heart today?

Day 299 - A Year to Clear - The Chair Pose

Lesson 299: The Chair Pose

Again, Stephanie Bennett Vogt shares another pose she uses for relaxation. It personally gave me a headache so I’m not going to be doing it any time soon, but maybe it will be great for you. Here are the steps and pic that goes along with it:

Begin: Sit in a sturdy chair, preferably one with no arms.

• Align: Make sure that your thighs are parallel to the floor, shins exactly perpendicular. To achieve the right angles if you are tall, place a blanket under your hips; if you are short, place a blanket or two under your feet. (Note: keeping the thighs, legs, and floor at precisely right angles to each other prevents undue stress on the knees, back, and neck.)

• Position: Place both knees shoulder distance apart, with heels directly under your knees, and feet pointed slightly inwards. Make sure your big toes make firm contact with the floor.

• Adjust: Slide your butt all the way back in the chair and place your elbows on your knees. Let your hands dangle freely.

• Drop (Stage 1): Slowly drop your head and hang over your knees like a rag doll.

• Tweak: Tuck your chin in slightly to allow your neck to lengthen; adjust your upper back to create a hollow between your shoulders.

• Release: Direct your breath along your spine, releasing holding areas and let go.

• Drop (Stage 2) OPTIONAL: [NOTE AVOID STAGE 2 if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or hiatal hernia.] To deepen your experience of this pose, slowly lower one arm and then the other to the floor and allow your head to hang gently over your knees. When you feel complete, return to Stage 1 for a few moments of integration by placing one elbow, and then the other, on your knees.

• Finish: To come out of Stage 1 place your hands one at a time on your knees or on the side of the chair. Come up slowly, one vertebrae at a time, with your head last. (Note: Try not to grip your tailbone as this defeats the purpose of the pose.)

• Integrate: Allow your body to integrate the effects of the pose by sitting quietly for a few breaths.

Lesson 298: VIDEO - The Floor Pose

Stephanie Bennett Vogt has a lesson today which demonstrates her favourite floor pose in which she finds relieves stress. She calls it the “Cadillac of support” and allows you to let go. It doesn’t take much time and you may find relief in it.

I personally felt like I could achieve the same relaxing feeling just by lying down and shutting off. I don’t know if I missed the point or not, but maybe the whole elevation of legs makes a difference? I didn’t really feel much of a difference though. Maybe I need to do it for longer?

Let me know if you try and it out and find some overwhelming sense of relaxation, because I’m not sure it really made me relax deeper than normal. Haha!

Day 298 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - We Often See Our Angels...

Lesson 298: We Often See Our Angels...

…and guides from a young age. As we grow up, we may forget about them or they are not easy to connect with as we lose our levels of consciousness. Today we are to close our eyes and ask the Divine to reveal the presence of guides, entities, angels or spirits to us. We are not meant to see in this exercise but just to sense a presence. Notice if you feel a sense of familiarity with this entity.

I connect with spirits quite often. Sometimes when I want to, sometimes when I don’t want to. At present, I feel a male presence lingering on my left side. He reminds me of a Greek man, possibly an angel. He could be roman and a warrior of some kind. I just sense he’s wearing loin cloth and has curly hair. I am not going to ask what he wants. I feel like he adores me.

It’s odd because last night I felt a presence hugging me with their arm around me once again. I don’t fear the feeling because it seems like such a loving presence, so I just acknowledged that presence and allowed them to continue hugging me. That sounds so odd to just treat it as if it were normal, but it really does happen to me. I can understand why people may get freaked out by it, because it’s as if another human is hugging me as I lay in bed as there is no physical body, but I am getting used to it. Maybe it’s just what I need at the time. I need the comfort which is much appreciated, and because I don’t have a partner, some higher power is sending me love. I never ask and I just accept whatever it is. I’ve really grown in this acceptance and sometimes I shock myself with how comfortable I am in it these days. I’m very much a completely different person to whom I was 1-2 years ago. It’s funny how it all pans out hey!

Anyway, how did you go with the exercise? Feel any presence that you hadn’t felt before?
