Let your feet guide you along on your path of heart as often as you let your mind and heart. Let them walk you in quiet walking meditation, take you on a nature trail, get you up and down so that there is plenty of movement and activity in your life. Sometimes just a shift of the body in a new direction will change things for the better. Let them decide what direction to take, for not only are they the feet of your physical body but also the feet of the spirit that resides in you, that is you. Let them show you today what you need to learn. Just as you often let your hands guide and teach you, look to your feet today. You may be surprised at what they know and where they take you.
It’s never too late to find a path with heart, to shift a purpose, a direction, a habit, a dream. New possibilities abound on a daily basis. What choice to make? What direction to turn? What step to take? Every day offers a new opportunity to do something new, to change something, to begin something, to end something. Look around and notice what today offers and what is begging for change. What can you let go of today that has worn out its stay, that no longer serves you or the greater good? And what can you invite in, express, or let happen? There are so many fresh new options. What will it be?
Get in step with your highest intentions and keep motivated in that direction. Manifestation will come, with dogged pursuit and determination, with mind, heart and body motivated and unified, with spirit fully on board. To manifest what you so desire is never an impossibility. In fact, the more determined and motivated you are, the more possible it becomes. Along with intentions for self, keep an open and humble heart and intentions for the greater good of all as well.
Every day in every way things are better and better. When oft repeated, positive affirmations have a positive effect. Negative positions will remain negative unless ousted by positive positions. There is no time like the present to present a more positive front to the self and the world. With positive thoughts and positive words rolling off the tongue things can really start to shift. Perhaps things are going well but there is still something keeping you stuck. Begin to note what you say to yourself in your unconsciously spoken thoughts. Shift into a more positive frame of mind and see what happens.
The word placebo is Latin for, I shall please. We have within us a power that literally fills our suggestions. This power is situated in what has been called the subconscious mind. In subtle anatomy, the subconscious mind is part of the soul, or astral body, that exists independently of its host, the physical body.
Specifically, the subconscious mind houses the desire body, the home base for Yin, the receptive feminine center of our being. If a suggestion is accepted by the desire body, it is true conception, and the miracle of creation begins. The desire body has the magnetic force to draw to it and assemble physical reality to please, or make substantial, that which we suggest to it.
Ironically, science has designated placebo as that which has no real effect upon physical reality, seeing its impact as a kind of mental aberration. Science uses placebo in experimentation as a control to determine whether a real agent has therapeutic value, or is merely a product of the mind, i.e., is a placebo effect.
So, if the mind alone is capable of eliminating symptoms and keeping one alive, it doesn’t count as real cure. The miracle of mental healing is simply placebo, not genuine healing. I find it rather stunning that the rational mind has completely forsaken and denigrated the subconscious mind’s power of creation and healing, even when directly confronted with irrefutable evidence of its benefits.
The shamans of ancient Mexico understood this loss of magic, and consequent polarization within our astral energy body, as the product of a predatory, inorganic entity that feasts upon the emotional dysregulation that this struggle generates. We are constantly in an inner battle between embracing our magical potential versus the limits of our dominating mental fixation of rationality.
This battle of bipolarity is everywhere apparent in our world, as the irrational has grown to outlandish proportions in its quest to unseat the controlling rationality of civilization. We are actually on the cusp of seeing the irrationality of lies become the accepted ruling order of the world.
Reason is an extremely valuable tool for navigation, but when it strips us of our divine creative healing potential it can only generate sterility. This inner struggle for redemptive balance is the crossroads every human now faces, both within the psyche and without, in the outer world.
Author Sue Watkins published a memoir in 2001 that reviews her relationship with the psychic Jane Roberts (Speaking of Jane Roberts). In it, she reveals for the first time a miraculous physical healing she experienced in a self-hypnosis exercise undertaken with Jane and a few other people.
Back in late 1969, Sue had been suffering from an extremely irritating STD called Trichomoniasis. Putting herself in a calm alpha brainwave state, she gave herself the suggestion that the body would heal itself. Immediately the discomfort disappeared and, as she immediately discovered, upon self-examination in the bathroom, the physical evidence of infection had completely cleared from her body as well.
Sue’s battle with her own inner rationality, and fear of the rational critical police, had her actually cut this vignette, at the last minute, from her book, Conversations with Seth, published in 1980. It would take another 20 years for her to accrue the confidence to document this physical healing that had occurred solely through self-hypnosis.
The key to success with self-hypnosis is to just do it. Despite the limiting judgment of the rational mind, one is always free to get relaxed and present a suggestion to the subconscious mind. Say it many times and see what happens. At the same time, don’t attach to the outcome. Allow that center that says, I Shall Please, to do its job, as it sees fit, without pressure.
Obviously, with respect to medical issues, one should fully avail oneself of medical support. Also, realize that suggestions can be manifested that are not best for one’s personal evolution, nor for that of the world. Greed, for instance, can manifest just as well as altruism.
Always intend the greater good with all suggestions. Restore the magic to both the creative and rational minds of the soul.
