Donna Eden & 9 Energy systems that effect body and mind

Donna Eden has discerned energy systems since childhood and has evolved to develop and teach healing modalities in energy medicine. You may read auras, be familiar with chakras or know of meridians. Whatever your insight, you can build on it, expand on knowledge of energy systems.

You are not dreaming when you hear a person can evolve to clairvoyantly see and read the body's energies. You can learn to attune to layers that affect mind and body. Donna describes nine primary energy systems.  How do you feel energy? How does it affect your senses and emotions?

1) Meridians- carry the life force; adjust metabolism, remove blockages, determine speed and form of cell change. Meridians include fourteen tangible channels that carry energy into, through, and out of your body. They interconnect with organ systems. Your meridian pathways also connect hundreds of tiny, electromagnetically-distinct points on the skin's surface or, acupuncture points.

2) Chakras- seven concentrated centres of energy. Each chakra supplies energy to specific organs, corresponds to a distinct aspect of your personality, and resonates (from the bottom to the top chakra) with one of seven universal principles ; survival, creativity, identity, love, expression, comprehension, or transcendence. You may refer to the related color chart.

3) Aura- multi-layered bio-field of protective energy.  It shifts according to external disturbances. The aura is like a two-way antenna that absorbs energy from outside into your chakras and also releases energy. Energy can be drained or strengthened based on your thoughts, feelings and interactions.

4) Electrics- The electrics serve as a bridge that connects all energy systems at the basic level of the body’s electricity. You may have heard your body contains enough energy to power a small community for more than a week. There are reports of scar tissue being healed during an electrics session, heart ataxia eliminated, a knee replacement operation avoided, and all manner of emotional trauma overcome. What matters is the electrics connect all the systems.

5) Celtic Wave- These crisscrossing energies permeating your body are the "connective tissue" of your energy system. Like invisible threads that keep all the energy systems functioning as a single unit, the Celtic Weave networks throughout and around the body take shape in spiralling figure-eight patterns.  It expands and contracts.

6) The Five Rhythms- runs through all the others, leaving its vibratory imprint on physical attributes, health patterns, and personality traits. These are identified in traditional Chinese medicine where all of life was categorized into five "elements," "movements," or "seasons." You gain insight into cycles and progression and natural healing stages.

7) Triple Warmer- networks the energies of the immune system to attack an invader, and it mobilizes the body’s energies in an emergency for the fight, flight, or freeze response. It operates in ways that are so beyond the range of any other meridian that it must be considered a system unto itself. Its energies work in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland, which is the body’s thermostat and also the instigator of the body’s emergency response.

8) Radiant Circuits- function to ensure that all the other energy systems are working for the common good. They redistribute energies to where they are most needed, responding to any health challenge the body might encounter. In terms of evolution, the radiant circuits have been around longer than the meridians

9) Basic Grid- The basic grid is your body’s foundation energy. All the other energy systems ride on its back. Grid energy is sturdy, like a skeleton.  Severe trauma can damage your foundation.  When this occurs, it does not tend to just repair itself.  Instead, other energy systems adjust themselves or compesate for the damaged grid.  An example is how a personality forms around early traumatic experiences. Repairing a person’s basic grid is an advanced and intense form of energy medicine.

8 ways to stop resisting change

Humans are encouraged to love every being, including themselves. This seems to require a stretch beyond what most people think is possible. Universal acceptance implies respecting all views about physical, mental, emotional, spiritual sides, and dimensions you may not yet acknowledge or even consciously register.

At this moment, if you are unwilling to adjust your views or unsure how to be more receptive to the unfamiliar, then you could dream the ideal. You could change. Why do people resist change or shifts in their beliefs? Consider these eight ways to stop resisting change. How and where do you relate?

1) Reframe discomfort. Everybody creates mental, spatial and other comfort zones. Examine yours. Why feel awkward when people get too close or, offended by ideas that oppose your principles? Why doubt an event because you have not shared a similar experience or when you are unable to explain it? Your feelings reveal levels of flexibility and rigidity. They are clues to deeper fears, resentment and views worth attention.

2) Transcribe thoughts. Many people will assume things are too difficult as they are. Things you hear about the physical world may not seem to jive with your senses. You may not consciously realize your thinking process or how you doubt and deny inner signs. To journal thoughts empowers you begin to see through fears and other illusions that ego creates.

3) Choose maturity. Over-protection from disappointment prevents self-directed learning. Children will grow up without coping skills and become intimidated by the adult world. Choosing maturity enables you to learn to manage new situations. Regardless of the past, you can be willing to grow.

4) Deny history must repeat. You may be thinking, it did not work last time, or improve, so why now? As you become more conscious, you slowly dissolve misplaced assumptions. You become bold, daring. You chose to shape new events.

5) Develop mental discipline.  Memories of pain, suffering, confusion or discouragement may drown your senses. Emotion is a dimension of ego. Conditioning creates instinctive reactions that occur to a perceived threat or challenge. As you realize emotions become the body's response to a thought, you realize you can change them without filtering.

6) Tackle self-worth issues. Life events tests your levels of self-esteem. If you do not believe you are good enough, talented enough, or enough in other ways, then esteem blocks you from taking action.  You may not have been taught how to embrace life with a positive attitude.  Its never too late to learn.

7) Expand perception. As you discern peer pressure and external ideas for what they are, you realize conforming is a choice just like awakening or transcending is a choice.  To learn to release unnecessary feelings leads to unfamilar sensations.  You shift to a different state of alertness.  You rediscover what it means to be present, to attune to energy fluctuations. You confirm your reality with new thoughts. They may defy words. This is okay. Sensing expands to teach you.

8) Shatter your myths.  Part of you may wonder if your impetus for change is grounded in self-love or inadequacy. How do you know? Where you believe only change will make you happy, then inner work would be desirable to strengthen self-acceptance. How does resistance affect your life?

"Belief like any other moving body follows the path of least resistance."

- Samuel Butler 

7 Reasons people fear spiritual awakening

Spiritual awakening means different things for different people. It has been known to evoke fear and ignite vigorous debate. It has been known to create an incredible lightness of being or to leave issues unresolved. Consider these reasons why people fear spiritual awakening and how you could reframe things;

1) Fear of being judged. People spend years adopting the ideas and beliefs of others. These beliefs shape personality, defenses and influence what it takes for you to feel satisfied. This creates ingained expectations for acceptance, approval and desire to avoid rejection, even if these feelings are illusory.

2)Ignorance of mental blocks. People are not always aware that their true identity is buried beneath an external personality structure. You build identity, layer-by layer, based on your chosen thoughts and activities. You reinforce identity based on how other people see you.  Soul-level healing awakens as you discern emotional energy blocks and capacity for change.

3) Confusion concerning implications.  Certain people have the impression spiritual awakening requires something they do not have or,  efforts that are beyond their knowledge or capabilities.  As you evolve when and how you choose, such perceptions are unfounded.  Your journey is based on free will.

4) Misconceptions about spirit energy. Some people convince themselves they may wake up hearing voices and seeing things they cannot control. You may fear you could lose your mind. The idea that it is normal to hear certain kinds of voices may seem just bizarre. Realize your mind and senses will not permit you to attune to energies on levels you are not ready for.  Belief in yourself is a prerequisite for any progress.

5) Lack on insight into ego.  A false sense of self obscures your view of reality.  A part of you grows jealous, resentful and even offended that you would consider shifting the focus of your energy away from "me."  This part of you is unaware that the more you empower and include others, the more smoothly your energy flows and the stronger you grasp interactions with other kinds of energy.  Ego creates obstacles, tension and opposition.  Spiritual awakening is a tool to dissolve them.

6) Love may seem frightening.  Spirituality is linked with intangible forms of self-love. In order to deepen a sense of love, a person must be willing to give up control.  One illusion of fear is that it makes you feel as though you maintain the illusion of control.  Choosing to explore and expand love requires courage to open up to vulnerability.

7) Selective blindness about Universal laws. The function of cause and effect, polarities, attraction and other universal laws affect far more than what you experience in the physical world.  Some people fear the helpful information will be "over their heads" or, irrelevant to the lives they are leading.  From the moment you internalize personal pronouns such as "I" or "me," you have entered a dimension of illusion.  Words and ideas that split life into fragments have no reality.  It is said you distance from truth to prepare for spiritual awakening.

5 Tips to root yourself in the moment

If you adopt the view that you have temporarily forgotten answers you already have, then part of you is wondering how to access them quicker. This awareness draws attention to lessons you must learn to truly recognize and accept what you already know. It is not as round-about as you may assume.

How often have you heard someone ask for directions to their innermost soul? Maybe you have inquired about it yourself. Such a scenario describes value tales involving monks and their proteges. The answers to such questions are always paths of experience that lead to lessons as opposed to short-cuts.

The quest for clarity requires a willingness to disassociate and detach from what people and situations are saying about themselves. You arrive at a crossroads.  You begin to delve deeper into what things say about you and your perceptions. Consider these five tips to root yourself in the moment;

1) Figure out what it means to "just be."  Some people achieve this using mental discipline developed during dreams and conscious meditation.  To grasp what you feel, it is helpful to clarify what you are not feeling.  You redefine your reference as a balance of physical and emotional states with no reacting.

2) Identify when you are not in moment. Human beings frequently forget what it means to be rooted in the moment. They often reflect on what they are no longer doing or, what they could be doing and neglect what is occurring in -between. Shift perspective to discern the nature of your distractions.

3) Rethink the motive for your queries. What are you really asking? To ask questions reveals a lack of faith or self-confidence. As you attune to your feelings, you realize impatience for answers from outside yourself invites you to develop patience by attuning to inner voices. You are re-directed to listen differently and unveil and tackle core fears.

4) Take steps to restore well-being.  Wholeness is a subjective experience.  A person progresses based on how he gains insight from events that acknowledge and heal wounds.  Being conscious of how you feel is an exercise in honesty and the willingness to do what it takes to repair self-esteem.

5) Support your messages.  You are learning to be mindful, to deliberately shift attention and attune to energy in ways you did not expect. In doing so, you stop saying "I don't know" and trust your intuition. Flashes of light evoke flashes of insight. Glimpses of the unthinkable prove it exists.  Choose to believe.

6 Ways to show unconditional love and acceptance

Unconditional love and acceptance may not come easily to you. Your role models may have sent mixed messages or, these may be strange or foreign concepts.  How you view your existence, purpose and interpret meaning can change dramatically.

Everyone can evolve to become more aware of the reasons for their behaviour. Knowledge can empower you, no matter where you are or how you currently view the world. You are in process of resolving inner conflict and developing new perspective.

What you choose to see relates to your beliefs as much as to hidden issues within you that often go unnoticed or ignored. As you choose to exercise kindness and patience with yourself, you are working through another stage in your growth process. Consider six ways to show unconditional love and acceptance;

1) Rather than ask what a person does for a living, inquire instead what evokes joy and contributes to a meaningful life.

2) Rather than value people based on what they do, opt instead to love and accept them because they exist as they are.

3) Rather than live your life to please others, choose instead to grow to understand and learn what it is to please yourself.

4) Rather than do what is conditioned or expected, swallow your pride or fear and choose instead to do what feels right.

5) Rather than criticize, reprimand and emprison the mind, decide instead to boost esteem and praise freedom.

6) Rather than highlight drawbacks of loss, mistakes and failure, concentrate instead on the benefits of all experience.
