GROUNDING/RUNNING ENERGY EXERCISE

Before beginning any conscious connection, such as running energy, I do Heart Focused Breathing:

    SHIFT FOCUS – focus on the area around the heart. This is the energy center (chakra) that connects our more physical connections to earth energy and the higher cosmic energy from the God source or the All. Imaging your breath flowing in and our of that chakra.

    SHIFT BREATH – breathe a bit slower and deeper than usual. A count of 5-8 in, then out, will help you to keep steady, even breathing in and out through the heart.

    SHIFT EMOTION – activate a positive or renewing emotion or feeling. Feel, really feel, a time you experienced compassion, love, awe. In my first experience with this exercise I would watch my dog. Complete love. Another was the awesomeness I felt overlooking the Grand Canyon, or an incredible sunset/sunrise. The feeling that all is right with the world and I am filled with love.

I suggest doing this for at least 2 minutes

AND THEN ….

The pranic tube is an energetic tube that follows the energy centers (chakras) in our bodies. We can bring God Source and physical earth energy into our bodies using this pathway. It runs from the crown to the perinium

Connect to the Earth – Mother Earth, Gaia, Pachumama, the physical planet – by imagining a chord dropping from the heart down to the perineum area all the wat to the center of the planet. Some visualize following a tree root. Acknowledge and honor that earth energy and bring it up following the prana path through each chakra (energy center) to your heart. Remember, healthy energy is light, translucent, moving and vibrant. Notice the color and substance of this energy and hold it in your heart.

Connect to the Source – Father Sky, Pachupapa, the All, the Universal Source – from your heart imagine a chord running from your heart through the crown chakra (energy center) and connecting all the way to your source. Acknowledge and honor that energy and follow the path back to your heart. Open the crown chakra, energy center like a lotus blossom or camera lens and follow the prana tube to your heart chakra.  Notice the color and substance of this energy and hold it in your heart.

Run energy through the prana tube, exit through the crown and rain through body’s field of energy (aura) re-entering the prana tube at the root chakra creating a torus. Keep doing this until you feel energized and balanced.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

The heart is the first organ to develop … there is an honesty, a knowing there. When we connect and activate our heart, we can hear our story. The story we brought with us. A map of who we truly are. A connection to all that is and ever has been.

We are all connected. Connected to each other. Connected to the globe we live on. Connected to all life. Connected to the universe.

Breathe Through Your Heart and then ---

BREATHE THROUGH YOUR HEART AND THEN ….

 I begin each and every day by shifting my focus to my heart; shifting my breath so it’s coming in and out of my heart; shifting the feeling I’m holding so it’s one of care, appreciation and acceptance. It all takes place in my heart. My heart that has gone through my life experience with me.

 My heart that, if I listen, will tell me when someone or something is true or false.

 My heart that comes up with dreams, images and thoughts. My mind will help me execute these ideas, manifest them into reality - my heart surprises me with a wealth of choices.     

 I’ll be presenting at the Creativity Conference at Southern Oregon University next month so heart and creativity have been swirling in my thoughts. I’ve been consciously checking in with my heart for three years now, before engaging in energy work, vision quest, meditation and other methods of communing with my higher self. I have found if I activate my heart energy and give it the lead on what I’m thinking or can’t quite figure out .. it will provide an answer or direction.

 Pretty exciting.

Find out how to consciously connect and listen to what your heart is always telling you and the different ways it desperately tries to get your attention. So,

             Shift Focus

             Shift Breath

 Breathe through your heart and then ….. get on with your creative day.

CELEBRATING EARTH DAY 2021

A hug going out to the Mother today. With such all-over-the-place energy we pick up from the collective, it seems important to acknowledge love and appreciation for our Mother earth. May you all relate to her warmth, love and abundance today. Much love.

HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN …

CHANGE IS DIFFICULT. Change is exciting. Change is here. We all feel it. The light we share and walk in can make all the difference in how we face this change. I hear all the time ‘just waiting to get back to normal”. Is that really what we want? And just what is that normal?  To contribute to the change/shift is a commitment to Feed the Field by connecting with our heart … and radiating the love and light we find, feel there. Radiating this light into the collective, the field and breathing in that connectedness to ALL is the way we can, together, change some of the patterns in our world that no longer serve us.

ANTHEM … Leonard Cohen

 Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack , a crack in everything

That’s how the light gets in.

 

You can add up the parts

 But you won’t have the sum

You can strike up the march

There is no drum

Every heart, every heart

To love will come

But like a refugee

 

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

 There is crack, a crack in everything

 That’s how the light gets in.

So drop from from your mind into your heart … and breathe in … and out. More slowly and deeper than usual. Breathe in light/love .. Breathe out light/love/compassion. Feel the emotion of a time you were that love/light [it’s a common memory we all share] and fill your body and the energy field around it with that same emotion. To your tippy toes, past your beautiful fingers and into the magnetic field that surrounds just you. When people are near and you are feeling that light/love – that is how they will experience you.  And when you feel broken or cracked just remember, that’s how the light gets in [and also radiates].

Please check out the links below and join one or both of two groups I am forming to radiate this light into the magnetic energy field that surrounds all living things and the planet.

Blessings from SANDRALEE on our way to 2021

Just a note to say Hello and wish you love, light and health as we come to the close of another year. My year has been spent tapping into the energies surrounding us at all times with an effort to add positivity and light.

I’m very excited about the energy shift we are noticing on our planet. It’s not like we will all of a sudden love one another and get along worldwide; ending poverty, pollution, war, inequality or a worldwide pandemic.  But with this shift the things that need change are rising to the surface for each of us to examine and determine where our responsibility lies. And yes, I find this exciting. Trying at times, but exciting. Nothing changes without intention.

So, a gift (and request) to you from me, is to spend a few quiet moments in the next week to do the short exercise below.
1) Focus your attention in the area of your heart

2) Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of your heart area

- a little deeper and a bit slower than normal (5 counts in; 5 counts out works well)

3) Bring in a renewing emotion of love, caring, compassion for something or someone near and dear to you.

4) Stay in this place of love and compassion while you listen to the music ( Anders Holte - Lumerian Homecoming) I have attached. Stay in your heart space. Don’t go to your mind/thoughts.

5) As you do this .. Allow the love and light you feel in your heart to fill you and take you to a place of coherence and peace. As you feel that peace, shower it down on yourself, those you love and around the planet.

6) When the  recording ends, open your eyes, come back to where you started and smile.     

Anders Holte - Lumerian Homecoming

Saturday, October 3, 2020

I did this Journey on Sept 7 – the night before over 1000 houses were destroyed in my community of Talent Oregon and neighboring Phoenix, Oregon.

I asked to meet fire … a beautiful Bengal tiger came to meet with me. I asked if s/he was here to teach me of the element fire and s/he said yes. I thanked the beautiful animal spirit. I asked if wolf and owl could join, and they were allowed, although I didn’t see much of them through the journey. I know they were both with me. Tiger told me we needed to go to the sun and we held each other (wrapped belly to belly with arms/legs wrapped to hang on). We were suddenly spinning through space heading towards the bright shining sun. I asked Tiger … won’t we burn? I was assured we need to respect but sun won’t burn us on this journey. Tiger held my back towards sun .. not on its surface .. but very close and said ‘you can feel the hot but you will not burn’. We then went to a planet (?) close by and laid face up on the surface (sand, then fields of golden grain) and felt the warm, very warm, caress, strength and energy of the sun. Then we were back on earth in a field of grain beneath the moon, a completely different light. Not hot, but comforting. Then I was told I am part of all the elements because I am a part of everything .. of the ALL.

I asked what I can do to honor them. I was told to honor the directions, create a medicine wheel .. light candles, work with the drum. Recognize their strength as allies.

A second journey .. just tonight (October 3). All elements have huge power .. not always finesse. It seems the collective needs to change to be able to live on the planet with the elements. Many of us are asking for that. The elements are helping us .. our most powerful allies are the most destructive. Fire brings in complete transformation. Fire does not carry emotion. It just is. Fire does not contain itself. When humanity and fire work together there can be more finesse, more containment. We can appreciate it’s power and harness it to benefit our lives. Fire told me we can work with it but not control it. Humanity thinks it can control the elements. Humanity is out of balance …. The earth and humanity are crying out for help. Fire is a fierce ally without a human conscious.

Much love and light …

A new dawn each and every day .....

MY MORNINGS:

We are in such times. There is a worldwide pandemic, with the US not exactly leading the world by example. We have unrest in our towns and cities. We are very divided in the way we see a pathway to our future. We all have personal stressors around many of these issues.

Its time to spend some time in our heart. To slow it all down and connect to the knowing inside. My choice is to do Heart Focused Breathing and Heart Lock-In first thing in the morning. These techniques balance my body systems and energy field with the love and support of my Creative Force. What I call the ‘Creative Force’ or the ‘All’ exists everywhere. The ‘ALL’ that we are all a part of connects everyone/thing to each other. The ‘All” is the part of us that knows that for growth to happen things often need to break. Out of that broken-ness can sprout necessary change. Once I’m breathing that ALL energy in and out through my heart, I settle into appreciation and acceptance in my heart, body and energy field – I like to just ‘be’ and ‘sit’ with that for a few minutes. I let any emotions of fear, discomfort, frustration be transmuted into love for all (that awesome feeling of oneness when overlooking the Grand Canyon for the first time, or experiencing the magnificence of Yosemite, holding a newborn, experiencing the unconditional love of a pet, etc). It’s like a light coming in and shifting the fear, discomfort, frustration into a loving, shining light. I fill my entire body, all the way to the tips of my toes, fingertips, the top of my head and beyond .. filling my energy field with a bright, loving, shining light for myself and emanating to those around me.

When I bring those emotions of love into my being there is a measurable balance happening to my autonomic nervous system. My heart rate changes … my thought processes clear … my sympathetic and parasympathetic systems balance. Now I can greet my family and the day with clear thoughts and calm.

This is my daily wake up practice …

stay tuned. More to come.
