“It is necessary to make one’s mind all prayer, every breath a melody of devotion, one’s heart all love… one’s soul a glorified song of compassion, mercy, understanding, and humility.” ~ Annalee Skarin

Each of us has the innate power to heal ourselves completely from any mental issue, emotional wound, and physical disease we may be experiencing.  Despite what the majority of the world believes and has hypnotized you to think since birth, you have the natural ability deep within your being to consciously and permanently relieve yourself from any pain, illness or disease.  By intentionally connecting with a deep reservoir of healing energy buried inside your core, you’ll create a regenerating effect that spreads a healing reaction throughout your body and mind.

The moment you first touch and squeeze the nectar from this awesome internal energy, a deep wave of joy penetrates your body.  There are many delightful sensations secretly hidden inside your being.  It is only through this sacred meditation practice below that you can unlock these feelings and allow the release of healing to take place.  It is at this moment that you realize how divinely perfect this life actually is, and how powerful the mind and body truly are.

The first step to initiate your awesome healing transformation is to accept the possibility that you were born with the all-natural God given power to heal yourself.  You can instantly bring lightness and wholeness into the cellular memory of any dis-ease.  Once this idea is accepted, and fully embraced you have officially begun the journey of self-healing.

The second step is to spend as many hours as you can throughout the day and evening letting your attention rest and relax into your breath.  By following the sacred flow of the life force moving through your lower belly, you’ll find the breath acts like a sacred swinging door that will open the pleasure filled floodgates for healing to manifest.  The more closely you can tag along behind the subtle rise and falling movement of the breath with your awareness, the deeper the mind can dive inward to discover the calm, quiet and meditative space within.  It is from being so close to this divine flowing movement of life force, that the trillions of cells in your body inadvertently receive the most potent healing source that abides at your very core.

By persistently bringing your attention inwards for as long as you can, as often as you can that you start to experience the healing result.  Surrender to holding on to the tail end of your breath as if it were a flying dragon soaring through infinity. The healing energy will soon rise up within you when you can actually remain connected to the tail of this wild dragon, without grasping tightly onto it with the mind.  When the mind is surrendered to the breath everything gets quiet inside, and the healing calming energy takes over you on its own accord.

When you can effortlessly stick to your breath like super glue for a majority of your day, you’ll see many miraculous things spontaneously occur.  Events that would have been burdensome spawn moments of liberation. The mind then becomes very curious about this enlightening effect this calm sweet stillness has, which becomes the cornerstone of your day.  The conscious stillness you discover will hook the mind, and bring it down to its knees so that you’re not so easily entranced and trapped into getting lost in another future worry, longing desire, or emotional drama. As your mind becomes free from all its old patterns and strategies, a very calm and deep healing Presence bubbling up from the inside.

Although watching your breath sounds ridiculously simple and promises outrageous healing results, it actually works.  It simply takes ones willingness to let go of the busy modern day life style and explore the world within.  It’s good to know that today’s best quantum physicists healers have proven that every dis-ease has a psychosomatic root, which can be alleviated through intention, focus and accessing a higher consciousness.  This connection is discovered through that which is with you all day long…your breath.  The only challenge you’ll find is that the mind will want to wander every which way but in.

It helps to start with the practice of watching your mind as if you were sitting in the back seat of a bus, looking through the front window from the back row.  Imagine that your mind is in charge, taking you on a guided tour called “your life’.  You can watch your day unfold and manifest from this cozy back seat wherever you are, whatever you may be doing.  The mind may continue to take its same old path and routine, dreaming down the same old highways as yesterday.  Desiring, thinking, pondering, scheming, trying to figure out solutions, success, how best to live your life, relate with other people, heal your past, and create your future.  Let it do its think, yet you just tell your mind, “Hey, I’m getting off at the next bus stop and I’ll be back to help you with these very important issues tomorrow ok?”  The mind might ignore you or give you a few hours to get off and relax.  However it responds, just keep observing and watching its antics from a distance.

Once you are able to detach from the mind, you make space to receive the deep conscious relaxation for healing to manifest.  You are also more capable to relax into the breath, and gently hold onto the tail of the wild dragon.  This is where we receive our first real taste of the silence and stillness necessary for true spontaneous healing to rise from within.  Whatever you do, don’t have any expectations or demands on yourself or you’ll get frustrated with this exploration. Life is a journey in itself to reveal the missing crucial elements for enjoying this awesome magical ride.

“Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature.
By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being.
Not that you are in love – now you are love.” ~Osho

The third step in healing your life is cleansing and purifying your body.  You’ll want to do this step at the same time you do the second step.  In order to deal with the detoxification experience you will need to have a very calm meditative mind and vice versa.  A purified body is essential so that it can “reboot” and fully receive the massive physical change. The reason we manifest illness is because we are fighting the flow of life on some mental, emotional or physical level.  By removing all the layers of toxicity built up in our system, you might initially feel more sick before you feel better as the toxins push their way through.  This is part of the healing process, as these impurities are having to find a new home outside your physical body.  After you’ve read through the remainder of this article, you’ll want to return to The Enlightened Beings Healing Center to learn more about this powerful purification process for complete healing of the body and mind.

It’s good to know that the experience of healing yourself is not about solving “a problem” your body is having.  Your soul manifested these symptoms for a greater purpose.  Often pain is a teacher helping you to slow down so that you take the time to dive inwards and develop your spiritual path.  Other times its about pushing us to live in a deeper state of gratitude and reverence for the loved ones still in your life.  Whatever reason your soul has for creating this challenging situation, it all boils down to coming home to the divine being who you truly are.  Discovering this powerful being that lives and breathes inside you is the backbone to healing anything you’re facing.  By unraveling your false small self to reveal the truth big Self who is without boundaries or limitations, you find your life finds its true meaning and purpose.

Even though the effects of this healing practice are astounding, your challenge might be in having the willingness to let go of any attachment to how healing should occur for you from previous assumptions.  The mind must transcend those old programmed beliefs which say taking a pill will solve and cure my problem.   Natural healing is your birthright and it has to occur when a deep state of inner peace and divine spiritual connection becomes your experience all day long.  Then, when you’re ready to be responsible and own your divine power within, you can intentionally manifest any level of healing you desire.  It is only through retraining the mind to trust in something beyond this outer world and beneath your inner world that you will learn how to be free.  You must abandon the ego and detach from all its desires, if you wish to win any battle with illness and pain.  You must abide in patience, dwell in persistence and trust that the divine Universe has your best interest in mind at all times.

Following your breath through your day provides a healing home for your consciousness to abide in.   It is the most sacred path to finding the deepest inner peace and highest spiritual connection. The rise and fall of this all powerful life force is the gateway to experiencing the vastness of your soul, where you simply let go of all your struggling, striving and holding onto the illusions about the outer world.  Every stressful thought is released when you are unified with the breath.  You find this natural relationship with Great Spirit where total healing and wholeness can effortlessly manifest for you in the most exquisite ways.

Self-inquiry is not a path that leads you somewhere. It is the path that stops you in your tracks so that you can discover directly, for yourself, who you are.

The power of stopping is indescribable. In the moment of stopping, there is no concept of anything, yet there is consciousness. Consciousness without concept is naturally and inherently free. In an instant, it is self-evident. We are so trained to follow our concepts that we even turn consciousness itself into a concept.

In the timeless instant of recognizing that consciousness exists without any need of concept, identification with concept falls away. This is an essential experience. What follows is the deepening recognition that consciousness is free regardless of concept. This is true freedom.

The concept of yourself as a man or a woman doesn’t even begin to touch the truth of yourself as consciousness.

Outside the store where I grocery shop, is a man named Jasper who loves with all of his faucets turned on.

He stands outside selling newspapers called Street Sheets to earn his living. I stopped to talk with him and found out that he’d been homeless for about a decade and recently obtained housing by selling the paper.

He has aluminum foil where his front teeth should be, and he is a living beam of love.

Jasper’s motto is “I am so blessed with less” and he calls out to every person passing by with something witty and loving.

“Don’t go home alone! Take a paper with you!”

But it isn’t just to sell papers. I began noticing the love that pours out of him- to everyone.

He calls me “happy pigtails” and reminds me to “love yourself so you can love me more!” I buy his papers in batches sometimes and we hug and share our good energies.

I see him all the time, and have almost always experienced his love flowing.

Jasper’s love faucets are turned on and he’s not too busy to share love.

I asked him what he would like to tell people about love, and he said:
“Just tell them that we’re all like sunflowers- just turn your face to the sun and let that love shine.

Five practical ways to raise your level of consciousness starting right now.  For this article, by the way, “raising your consciousness” means expanding your awareness of reality, expanding your connection with other human beings and living systems, and deepening your sense of free will, liberty and being the master of your own destiny through applied decisions and actions. It is not just a “sense of self” but also a heightened sense of how your actions impact the world around you.

Here are the five steps:

#1 – Spend more time in direct contact with nature

Want to boost your conscious awareness? Turn off the TV, ditch the X-Box, and go hiking in a state park somewhere. Go trail running. Plant a garden. Or just take your dog for a walk!

Spending time in nature heightens your senses, opens your heart and expands your sense of connection with who you are and the miracle of creation. So make an effort to spend more time in nature, and if you can manage it, move to a farm or ranch where you can actually live in nature.

#2 – Eat more high-vibration living foods and superfoods

Raising your consciousness means raising your nutritional standards, too. You’re never going to attain a high level of self awareness if your brain is running on junk food, chemical preservatives and artificial colors. Those are things, in fact, that destroy awareness and cognitive function.

The highest-vibration foods you can get for awareness expansion are wild-crafted foods you go out and find yourself (in a forest, a field, etc.). The second highest foods are those you grow yourself, usually in a home garden or a sprouting machine.

After years of studying and teaching nutrition, the pattern is obvious: People who live on low-vibration foods (junk foods, fast foods and processed foods) have diminished consciousness and impaired cognitive function. They tend to have narrow, selfish minds and are incapable of assessing information from a wide perspective. They live on microwaveable dinners, they drink diet soda, and they vote for whatever political candidate the media tells them to. They are, in essence, “zombies” who operate more as brainwashed consumers than conscious human beings.

The junk food poisoning of our modern world is one of the most astonishing un-reported stories of our generation. Focus your effort on increasing your consumption of high-vibration foods, meaning living foods, sprouted foods, wild-crafted foods and home-grown foods.

#3 – Clean your clutter to clear your mind

Is your house a jumble of clutter? Do you have so much junk stacked up everywhere that you only have a narrow pathway through it all from your bedroom to your kitchen? The more clutter you have in your home or office, the more cluttered your mind tends to be. Eliminating that clutter is key to finding some peace in your own home.

I’ve struggled with this, by the way. The situation becomes even more complex when you practice preparedness food storage like I do. As the boxes, cans and other gear stacks up, it’s not easy to get it all put away in an organized manner. The thing I’ve found that works best is a heavy-duty steel shelving unit (purchased at a local hardware store) combined with high-quality storage bins like these made by Akro-Mills: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0…

I use Post-It tape (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0…) and a permanent marker to write labels on these bins. The tape is sticky enough to stay put, but easy to pull off if you ever want to change the label. My bins are labeled with titles like: Flashlights, Batteries, Compass & Navigation, First Aid and so on.

#4 – Observe your decisions as if you were your own life coach

Instead of just making decisions and taking actions from your own first-person point of view — I want a cookie, I feel happy, I feel angry, I need a job — zoom out and take the greater perspective of being your own life coach.

In other words, view your actions and decisions as if you were your own consultant. If you have a particular outcome you would like to achieve in life, ask your inner consultant how that might be reasonably achieved.

For example, if you want to lose 50 pounds of body weight, improve your skin and experience a better sex life, your consultant might give you a reasonable course of action involving dietary strategies, daily exercise, and a reduction of stress. But when you view your life from your own (first-person) eyes, it’s tempting to say, “I want to eat a pizza,” or “I don’t feel like exercising.” That’s why letting your consultant have a say in your life is a wise strategy.

In terms of consciousness, the mere act of invoking your inner consultant is, all by itself, a meta-level advancement in your perspective (and therefore, consciousness). To be able to observe your own actions from the perspective of an outside consultant is a necessary step to grokking the world through the eyes and hearts of other living creatures. It is the gateway to empathy, in other words, and empathy is the gateway to lasting peace.

War can only be waged from the perspective of “I” that lacks the greater awareness of connectedness among all living things. “I shoot you” is the mantra of modern warfare, and yet all by itself, the statement is illogical from a higher perspective because “you” and “I” are bound together in non-material ways that transcend our material bodies.

#5 – Increase your commitment to spiritual practice

No matter what your particular spiritual practices, deepening your commitment to spiritual awakening will automatically raise your level of consciousness. Whether you go to an organized church or simply practice your own personal form of spirituality, enhancing your commitment to that practice will reap rewards beyond the material.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you have to go to church to be considered spiritual, by the way. If God is everywhere, then he’s also in your living room. A church may be beneficial in many ways, but it does not have a monopoly on connecting with the spiritual realm.

For some people, a “spiritual practice” may consist solely of meditation or even taking a vow of silence. The point of such exercises is to turn your attention inward, to better know your inner self as a step toward connecting with your “higher self” (or spirit or soul or even God), which is both divine and non-material. Regardless of the particular terminology or spiritual practices you prefer, deepening them will have a profound impact on your level of consciousness awareness in day-to-day living.

Remember, we are more than material beings. And there is much more out there than the crude matter into which we typically find ourselves entwined. If you are not spending some time each week exploring the bigger questions of consciousness, philosophy, life and the after-life, then you are missing out on the most important part of having a conscious mind in the first place.

In summary

Got all that? Here are the five practical steps again:

#1) Spend more time in nature.
#2) Consume more high-vibration foods.
#3) Clean your clutter.
#4) View your life as if you were your own life coach.
#5) Deepen your commitment to spiritual practice (even if it’s just a few minutes a week).

These five steps are simple but powerful, and they will dramatically alter (and improve) your experience of life.

(Our true nature) has the feeling of innocence with which everyone can identify, and also it has the sense of being very unguarded. When we are unguarded, we notice that this innocence comes only from itself.

When we relate from the egoic state of consciousness, we are basically coming from an idea, a point of view that is a conglomeration of beliefs or memories.

When we are coming from innocence, we are not coming from an idea, a point of view, or a belief. We are coming from innocence itself, which isn’t a particular point of view. It doesn’t have an ideology; it doesn’t have a theology; it doesn’t have a list of beliefs; and it doesn’t have a list of ideas. It’s the only thing in the world that is very sure that it doesn’t know what is going on.

In innocence, there is no idea about what’s going on, and this is the wonderment. When I say it doesn’t know what’s going on, I mean it’s not relating to experience through thought. It’s bypassing thought when it relates to experience. It’s not being filtered at all. That’s why it’s innocent.

What took the place of the personal self in my experience was the innocence and the love.

Of course, they had been there all the time, but they were covered over by this conglomeration of thoughts and feelings that had become “me.”

This innocence continues to amaze me because it never ends. It continues to be innocent no matter how much it sees, no matter how deep its spiritual insight or its spiritual depth grows, and it continues to grow more innocent.

With the egoic sense of self, the more we know, the less innocent we feel. But to our true nature, the more we know, the more innocent we feel.

Captivated by expectations, anticipations  and fears of future calendar dates as well as trends from the past, we often forget that we are living as well in the present.

Historians might point out key events and reality scripts written by “the winners” but also there were many acts of kindness and love that were never considered as significant to mention. BE-HERE-NOW means that we can examine our relationships to the planet, to others and also with ourselves. How is our behavior affecting our environment and what can we do to bring about a change for the better if possible?

Actions are indispensable for change to happen. Joost va Steenis in his book From Chaos to Change points out that “each year more than 9 million children die before they are five years old.” We can be concerned and demonstrate, but  we also need to reach the greedy few that are grabbing everything and enslaving humanity in the process. Consumer Rights and Job Security seem to be lost ideas.

Americans calling themselves the “land of the free” is a bad joke. US citizens can now be thrown in jail without any legal protection as once assumed by the Bill of Rights. Parents are having their children forced to be vaccinated even if they don’t want to. GMO’s are being allowed to enter the marketplace with no concern for health issues while natural medication is made illegal.

One country after another is destroyed by US invasions and weapons of mass destruction
with the excuse of “protecting our freedom” which means our country has been acting, in the eyes of many people in the world, as a mercenary thug destroying nations to steal their resources for corporate profit. Whenever we hear that Wall street stocks and profits are on an upswing, news reporters imply that it means good news.

Yet what good are corporate profits for the elite when the rest of the world slides
economically downhill. This week there is even a story on how in many places in the US, collecting rain water from your house is illegal as the water belongs to the government to do what it deems fit with it  In the movie Thrive, it is made clear that governments are not representing most people but rather following orders from large corporations and banks.

The challenge for the year is how to influence the “boys on the top” to show more compassion and gratitude to humanity and the great spirit that brought us the miracle of life. Living simply so others can simple live is a vital idea to teach them. An understanding of the currency of compassion.
