New Energy... Fresh Start! In-Between-Days 2009!

A strange celebration of power echoed through the ancient world- touching Kemetic mysticism, European Paganism, Far East mystery and even some Shamanic/Aboriginal cultures!

This phenomenon is generally called 'the in-between-days', but has specific names based on where it is practiced. In Kemet, Wep-Ronpet herals the five days outside of normal time that lead up to the new year of Egypt. In European Paganism, Dragon Days do the same. Each culture expressed a unique symbolism relating to these powerful days- from the Goddess giving birth to the sun God being allowed to meet his beloved- but the power is all the same!

We all know there are 365 days in a calendar year.

In many mystic traditions, however, only 360 days are recognized. 5 Days are 'outside of time' and represent the still-point between the old and new year respectively. In this article we will be focusing on the secretive beliefs and practices of the European and Pan-Celtic mystics of old who celebrated 'Dragon Days' as the end of the old year and beginning of the new.

Dragon Days for most modern practitioners of European mysticism begins at sundown on June 18 (for 2009). On this night, the cosmos are seen as being outside the rule of the Sun, even though we are pretty much in the middle of Summer! It is during this time that all seeds planted will finally begin to grow- and mythologically- the Goddess who was forbidden to conceive with her New-Year God will be allowed by a jealous Old-Year God as he loses his power for 5 days.

This myth, expressed in Kemetic mythos, is called Wep Ronpet and is the celebration of the New Year according to the Kemetic calendar. The birthdays of Wesir (Osiris), Heru-wer, Set, Aset (Isis), and Nebt-het take place at this time. "On Wep Ronpet, Zep Tepi or the "first time" occurs again, renewing the year and bringing renewal to Ma'at and to the world. During the end of the year, it begins to wind down and order begins to 'fray'. The coming of Zep Tepi re-establishes cosmic order." (from wepwawet.org).

Also during this time in Kemetic mythos, Nut is allowed to be with her beloved Geb by the providence of Dhehuty (Thoth). Many different traditions calculate and celebrate this time in different ways- some choose times as early as May while others may go as late as August. Traditionally in Egypt, the rising of the star, Sopdet (Sirius), which had previously been hidden for the past seventy days heralds the new year time.

From my interpretation, this could also be considered the time when the great self-eating Ouroboros snake finally ingests his own tail- the point in the eternal circle where the end meets the beginning.

Europeans called this time "Dragon Days" because dragons symbolized unmanageable chaos in its pure state. They believed that during these five days the creative powers of the cosmos were truly unbridled and that anything could happen. Most advanced mystics would stay inside during this time in near solitary confinement so that nothing would be said or done 'outside of themselves' that might create the birth of something they did not want. This is a time for silent introspection and personal healing- because karma whips quick during these days and conception to birth happens in the flash of a moment! Truly this is the last little bit of cosmic tantrum before a new cycle of order and direction sets in!

These nights in many cultures are packed with mystery, power, fear and potential- but there is so much that can be done to tap into this time of resetting. When handled correctly- great personal healing, manifesting of desires, realizations and very powerful prayer work can be accomplished. On the flip-side, what you say and what you believe may become born with speed and thus watching the tongue and centering the mind are of utmost importance!

How To Harness The Power Of Dragon Days

As I mentioned before, this time is paramount for personal work. Although in the middle of summer- it's an ideal time to sit the weekend out and do some serious internal housekeeping. Traditionally, a fetch representing the old stuff you don't want anymore would be made after some long soul searching. The, come Monday (last last day of Dragon Days), it would be given a proper burial in the earth to be received by the Earth Mother & Father and be enlightened and cleansed. This is also a great time to begin a personal journal, do a fast, take spiritual cleansing baths, physically clean your living space and do cord cutting work for anything you are ready to be done with. Think of this as the spiritual side of new years resolution with a HUGE blast of power and a whole lot of personal accountability!

Death to the Fetch!

You can participate in these sacred days by working with a fetch- or symbol of an intention. For me personally, I choose a rock from outside each year to be my Dragon Days fetch. I then wrap it up in an old shirt that I might have loved in the old year but don't wear much anymore (symbolizing willingness to change). For the 5 days of Dragon Days- I spend time each day with my little talisman charging it with what I no longer want in my life. This is a PURELY 'negative affirmation' time period- do NOT state what you DO want- as this is a time of uncontrolled creation!

As I always teach- growth that comes without control is usually called cancer!

After the 5 day period, do a cord cutting meditation then take your fetch outside, away from where you live, and bury it. Be thankful for what it represents may have taught you or how it may have strengthened you- and also leave a small offering of thanks to the Divine in the earth (flowers, coins, perfumed water, etc.).

Walk away from the spot and don't look back.

Get The BIG, BRIGHT, BLESSING!

On Tuesday morning we enter the new cosmic year. Make it a point to get up early to stand outside, facing east, at sunrise. Greet the new sun as it shines its new super-charged rays upon you. Feel its power surge, cleanse, empower and bless you to go out and create your ideal!

I truly hope you spend the next few days of your journey connecting to this sacred time- or if your tradition celebrates at a different time, preparing for what you'll do when it comes around

Happy Dragon Days!

Peace & Great Blessings,

Energetic Cleansing & Empowering On The Go! *Josh's Quick & Easy Spiritual Cleansing Cloth Technique*

Sometimes in the middle of a hectic workday, while stuck in traffic or just...whenever... a sense of some seriously heavy energy becomes present.

We can tell that our energy systems are a little out of balance when we feel a downpour of unexplained negativity, fatigue that seems deeper than just 'tired, lack of concentration or creative flow or any other symptoms that just seem to come from deeper within that usual.

Our interactions with the word around us present us with countless opportunities to have our energy systems affected in positive or negative ways. One of the most common issues on the energetic levels I see within the clients I serve have to do with personal shielding- knowing what's ours and what's not. It can be confusing out there- but keeping our spiritual flow and energy systems 'well-groomed' can be just the medicine!

Consistent attention to the state of our energy systems trains us up to be more aware, sensitive and in control of how we feel. Use this simple technique to create a powerful talisman of cleansing and protection that doubles as cleansing agent whenever you need it!

What Is A Cleaning Cloth?

Cleansing cloths are exactly that- a special cloth dedicated to cleansing and purifying our energy systems from internal to external (auric field). This practice has resonances in many mystery traditions and mystical paths across history and the globe, and is being presented here with new techniques suitable for the modern day!

Think of your cleaning as something similar to your bath washcloth... But where a washcloth is designed specifically to scrub away physical dirt, a cleaning cloth is designed to scrub away toxic vibrations and smooth our the flow of energy in the body!

A few flicks of the cloth and toxic energy is pulled from the system while a new rush of empowered energy flows in!

Working With Your Cleansing Cloth


Follow these simple steps to receive your own cleaning cloth and step up to a new level of spiritual-energetic health!

Choosing A Cloth

You'll want to choose a cloth that is about the size of a handkerchief, towel or hanky.

Your cloth should be made from 100% cotton, hemp or other natural fibers and should contain no wool, silk, leather, polyester, rayon or any other synthetic materials.

Based on the day you were born, you have a certain proclivity to flow energy in a specific way. Although this is not a definitive list- it's a safe one. If you feel drawn to a color that is not represented in your chart below as a symbol for purity and cleansing, use that instead of the color listed below. The color chart presented is based on soul-entrance colors that fundamentally dictate the state of energetic flow for your life. Choose your color based on the day of the month you were born.... If your date has more than one color, you can use just one of them or a cloth showing as many of the colors as you like!

If you were born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th...

use orange or red

If you were born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th...

use silver or orange

If you were born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th...

use yellow or red

If you were born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st...

use brown or forest green

If you were born on the 5th, 14th or 23rd...

use royal blue or pink

If you were born on the 6th, 15th or 24th...

use indigo or orange

If you were born on the 7th, 16th or 25th...

use violet or magenta

If you were born on the 8th, 17th or 26th...

use pink or white

If you were born on the 9th, 18th or 27th...

use gold or white

My persona cloth has red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, black, white, silver and gold. It's a cotton Peruvian prayer shawl cut down to a more pocket-friendly size. I highly recommend using the full color spectrum in your cleansing cloth, although it seems to be a bit tricky to find cloth with all those colors represented.

Creating Your Cloth


Now that you have your cleansing cloth- you'll need to spiritually attune it to it's purpose. This can be done as elaborately or a simply as you like- follow your intuition!

1. Cleanse the cloth itself to remove any previous vibrations from it. Do this by soaking it for a few minutes in lightly salted water (add a bit of baking soda for extra power!), then drying outside over one night and one day.


2. Hold the dry cloth and connect to it. Realize the similarity between the threads of energy that surround and permeate your body and the way the threads of the cloth harmoniously work together in a strong pattern to make the cloth itself. Know that the fabric is of a material that energy will attach to when intention is behind it.


3. Holding the cloth open across your palms, charge it with intention, visualization and prayer that all negative, toxic or harmful vibrations within your system will 'cling' to it and will be pulled from your system. Also that, like a comb, it will groom and strengthen the energy flow within and around you.


4. Once you feel the cloth has been 'charged' in this way, gently fold it up. Sleep with it under your pillow that night to 'own' it.


5. The next day, wake up and prepare to live life with a secret ally in your pocket!

If you have any personal symbols or designs that are meaningful to you- feel free to add them with a permanent marker or stitch them in with thread if you're crafty!

Cloths may be anointed with aromatherapy oils, given carrying bags to keep them clean or made for friends for a birthday... What a powerful gift!!!

Using Your Cloth


Anytime you feel like you need a boost, clarity, cleansing, clearing, charging or blessing- reach for the cloth!

Open it up and drag, gently wipe or brush from the top of your head down the front of your body to your feet. See and feel those bad vibes getting caught in the cloth!

Then do a sweep from the top of the head to the feet along the back of your body.

Once done, open up the cloth and flick it a few times towards the earth- seeing the toxic vibrations hitting the ground (no matter if you're on the tenth floor!) and being absorbed by the Mother Earth to be enlightened.

If you need extra focus in prayer, creativity, personal power, etc. try opening the cloth and simply looking at it- allowing its color and charge to enter in through the eyes affecting the whole system!

Cleansing & Recharging Your Cloth


Your cloth should be given a full cleanse monthly at the time of the full moon. Here's how to do it...

1. Wash the cloth physically with salt & baking soda water. Allow to air dry, preferably outdoors.


2. Expose the cloth to the night of the full moon and the sun of the following day. Sleep with it that night.


3. re-state your charge over the cloth and you're back in cleansing power!


4. Starting a new lunar cycle with a personal energetic cleansing bath is another great way to start the flow moving on the right track!

Feel free to physically wash the cloth with salt, baking soda, rose water, etc. anytime you need- just be sure to let it air dry- outside if possible. You can also add essential oils or other meaningful scents to your cloth as needed.

During sleep, keep your cloth somewhere special like on an altar, shrine, or hanging next to the bed. Respect it as a spiritual tool and don't toss it around with dirty laundry or leave it where you cant find it. The more you respect it- the greater a spiritual charge it will begin to accumulate!

I hope you enjoy working more closely with your own energetic health and using this ancient tool applied to the modern busy world!

May great blessings of the Divine Mother & Father be yours in your journey to health, happiness and bliss...

The Magic Energy Of Words ~ The Sound and Symbol Of Healing, Abundance, Love & Joy!

Words are power.

We can affect another persons entire state of being simply by the words we use, and that is only one level of the power they posses.

In this article we will explore why words are so powerful- and I will give you simple techniques to use in your own life to help you harness that power and use it for healing, empowerment, abundance, prayer and joy!

Words, as we commonly work with them, have two expressions- spoken and written. Let's explore these in turn.

The Spoken Word

When we speak a word, a complex range of vibrations is created within our bodies that is projected into the world around us.

Sound vibrations have form, substance and a predictable flow.

Our minds conjure up what we want to say, our heart backs it up with the appropriate emotional charge (love, desire, anger, etc.) and our body responds by flexing and expanding in many places to create a sound vibration. This wave leaves us and hits the atmosphere around us, touching and affecting everyone and everything it passes. On the spiritual level- the mental and emotional charge behind a vibrational wave impacts what the wave hits, creating a subtle affect.

Maybe our parents were onto something when they told us to never gossip or say bad things about people!

On the energetic level, sound waves do not 'die' when we can no longer perceive them with out senses. They continue to move forth, expanding into the greatness of the cosmos- our words affect everything!

In most spiritual, magical and mystical paths on the planet- speaking words of power is paramount to creating an energetic change. Spells, incantations, liturgies, empowered prayers, etc. are recited time and time again, adding to the stockpile of collective consciousness that backs the sound each time it is resonated. When done with true understanding of the words power- a fine-tunes force can be placed behind it that ensures it will create the desired 'magical' change as it expands into the universe.

The Written Word

Much like the spoken word, the written word also carries great influential power. No matter what language we speak or write, letters are merely symbols for a sound. As a collective, we all see the letter 'A' and are aware of the vibrational wave it creates when sounded- and thus the symbol becomes married with the power.

When we write words, just like when we speak them, they will affect a change in those who read them. Think about how you react when you see the words 'stop', 'free', 'sale', 'love' and 'no'.

Although the words I am typing now have a neutral meaning- there is also a deeper level of resonance that carries through them like a pipe based on my intentions in writing.

If you are experiencing a tone of seriousness, concern that this information will be used in proper ways and a sense of spiritual channeling; you're tapped into the psychic level of these words!

Since time immemorial, symbols have been used both to harness and call forth a specific power. Letters that represent sound vibrations are one of the most powerful on the planet (think about the Sanskrit letter for 'AUM/OM' and the meaning behind intoning that sound!). In the modern day- most of how we interact with other people is based on the written word with text and email- and so our awareness of the hidden power of the written word is more crucial than ever!

Why Words Make Magic

You are an individual being with unique likes, dislikes, soul, history, desires, fears, etc. From you comes a vibratory field (often the same field perceived by psychics allowing them to read you!) that represents or symbolizes the totality of who you are. Similarly, spoken words as vibrations and written words as symbols also give off this 'energy signature' that is unique to each combination of sounds or letter symbols.

When two people come together, their energy fields merge creating a third 'vibration between'. When many letters are written into a word or toned into a word they merge and become a unique vibrational field. When vibrations interact with other vibrations change and new force arises.

Think of this in terms of throwing a stone into a pond- ripples!

Speaking a word carries its unique vibrational signature out to the world where it will affect all other fields it encounters. The same applies to writing words.

The Karma Of Words

As we learned above, the sound vibration from speaking a word or the symbolic vibration from writing a word symbol carries afr further than we can imagine with linear minds. Eventually, it is no longer empowered for one reason or another and hits the parabola of its cosmic tour... what then?

Return to sender!

What you speak, you will hear. What you write, you will read.

Whatever we create in this world we must, at some point, recon with. The vibrations we send out in any form will eventually go 'full cosmic circle' and come back to us. If we have used our vibrational powers to bless and love- we will receive this Divine force back tenfold as it receives power with each field it positively affects. If we have used vibrational powers of hate, we will receive it back even greater as it gets empowered by the chaos and imbalance it creates.

Thinking before we speak or write is one of the best forms of spiritual medicine we can take! Imagine that short pause and deep breath that happens before we let our mouths create vibrations without control and how much cleaning up we could do with it!

Working With The Power Of Words

Although this article is FAR from exhaustive and holistic on the topic, I would like to offer you some simple yet highly powerful techniques you can start using right away to initiate yourself into the ways of word magic.

Please ensure that your integrity, intention and compassion are in good repair before working with any forms of energy harnessing.

Ϫ Say the magic word! Ϫ

Send out waves of gratitude by ensuring you say 'please', thank you' and 'you're welcome' whenever possible. These simple phrases really are the 'magic words' because in pure simplicity they express gratitude, compassion, love, kindness and respect!

Ϫ Pray With The Pen Ϫ

The next time you sit for a good prayer session, bring a pen and paper along!

Once you have spoken your prayers aloud, write down positive and present forms of those prayers (love, healthy, wealthy, harmony, etc.) in black ink. Please the paper in a special spot and allow it to be your ambassador to the universe- sending a constant stream of vibration to the cosmos!

Ϫ Say It AND Spray It! Ϫ

Grab a clean, clear glass bottle and write words of power all over the outside of it with a black 'magic' marker. Words like love, healthy, peace, joy, harmony, wealth, abundance, compassion, light, etc. are all great choices! Fill up every space you can with words that symbolize what you'd like to attract into your life.

You may want to pray over or consecrate this jar once done to empower it with a spiritual charge.

Once completed, you can either store written prayers or more powerfully, fill it with clean spring water. Allow a full day of partial sun to filter your words into the water- creating an extremely powerful spiritual elixir! You can sprinkle this water on yourself or around the house to empower and bless it. You may also want to consider placing a quartz crystal or other healing stone in the water to further amplify it's vibrations.

Water is the universal solvent- and is also a perfect energetic computer. What you put into it become part of it- making it 'liquid power'!

Every time I grab a new bottle of water I always grab a permanent marker too- writing on the outside a word of power that I'd like to open up to that day.

Today's 'water bottle word' was "Receptive".

Ϫ Practice Makes Perfect! Ϫ

Try intoning words of power like a repetitive mantra when you need them.

In stressful situations, prayerfully and powerfully intone 'calm, balanced, courageous'.

In times of illness or imbalance try 'healthy, strong, whole and happy'.

Create a personal and catchy strong of power words that are important to you and include a 5 minute toning session every day!

Ϫ Bless It Forward! Ϫ

Make it a point every day to bless others with your words.

Tell people you appreciate them, tip those who serve you with words in addition to cash, let people know you notice the small stuff and appreciate their being part of your path.

Write a few lines each day expressing what you are grateful for, what brought you joy and what the highlight of your day was.

What you speak about, you empower!

As much as this was quite the quick tour of word magic basics- I hope you will find a place in your daily spiritual working for this blessed art!

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions and I will do my best to answer!

Peace, Blessings, Love, Joy, Health, Compassion, Abundance, Progress, Strength, Wisdom...

۩ The Power Of Prayer ۩

Prayer is an intense act.

It is saturated with feelings of religious pride, bearing one's soul, connecting the the Divine and cosmic power. I am a big believer in the power of prayer- and I would like to share some ideas with you of a non-sectarian nature to help empower, inspire and elevate your personal prayer practices. I realize that my personal beliefs may not be the same as yours- so I ask you to read this article openly, and extract what works for you while leaving the rest. I will be presenting this article by approaching key points of prayer and then presenting empowering wisdom about those points for your consideration. What follows is a somewhat watered down version of what I teach my clients in a professional setting- watered down because some things are better said than typed :)

۞ Know Your Audience

I think that a majority of people pray in some way. There are certainly conscious and unconscious prayers that happen with us at any given time. Part of making prayer more effective and empowering is knowing who we are praying to. I often work with people who simply 'pray to God', but have no intimate, loving relationship with that God. The lack of this intense emotional prowess tends make prayers ego-based instead of soul-based. The first step to getting on track to seriously magical prayer work is to create a solid, emotional, present and tangible relationship with the Divine. Whether you work with sacred writings, sacred iconography, meditations, etc. the goal is the same- we must love and yearn for Divine interaction more than we do anything else on your lives. This is a mystical truth taught by Rumi, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Inayat Vilayat Khan and many other saints of the heart.
It can be common for us to project our own ego onto the Divine. We ascribe functionality to the Source solely because we have issue with that functionality. We may feel weak and thus God is a warrior. We may feel impoverished and thus God is the all-wealthy. These things are true- but there is a fine line between letting God be God and us being completely lazy. Armchair prayer is not effective. Prayer is a precursor to action! So, if we are broke- we don't pray to the God of riches, because that's just our ego trying to tap into something we believe we don't have. Instead, we pray to the God of mercy who lifts up those who are not living their full potential and helps them find their abundance, strength, and tap the limiteless blessings flowing forth. Feel the difference?

۞ Time & Space

There are two types of personal prayer. Formal and informal. Formal prayer consists of a more ritualized setting where some type of purification rite may take place, a special garment may be worn, a special space/altar/shrine may be used, etc. Informal prayer is that spontaneous surrender and dependence on the Divine that comes forth at anytime- in traffic, before a quick meal, under the breath in a meeting, etc.
Informal prayer is a wonderful thing- and I think it's importance cannot be stressed enough. Allowing the Divine into your paradigm consciously as much as possible is a cosmic medicine par excellence. I think informal prayer is the most commonly celebrated among modern day seekers, so I want to present a little something about formal prayer to help even the work.

Formal prayer should involve three steps: 1) Setting the intention to pray with words, actions, rituals, etc. 2) Entering a specified sprayer space at a specified time and 3) opening up as much as possible- both to receive fully and offer fully.
Let's explore each of these points in turn:

1) Taking a purifying bath, wearing a prayer cloth, smudging, grounding, etc. are all great ways to enter a ritual prayer space.

2) Ritual prayer is best when performed in the same space at the same time daily. This allows the etheric field to be charged thus deepening your prayer power each time. Praying at the same hour each day also attracts positive spiritual vibrations and ascended souls to support you in your work.

3) We block blessings. I know this sounds crazy- but its true. We try so hard to micro-manage our lives and be the 'do-er', that often times I see clients with loads of Divine guidance sitting on their heads waiting to be welcomed in.

Coming to your prayer work from a place of total acceptance, surrender and openness is the key to true magic in prayer. This takes time to work on- but having the intention that you want to experience total release helps create it.

۞ A Flame Cannot Burn Itself

When we pray, the Most High who we approach is simultaneously the listener and the empowered of speech. The thoughts, words, vibrations, etc. we use to communicate in prayer are supported and powered by the same Divine we speak to. Because of this, our prayer can be simple- it's not the words that matter but the connection we make. The Divine already knows what we need- and it is in our opening up to receive that the blessings come... not in making demands or petitions.

۞ What You Want And What You Get

When engaging in prayer work- surrender is the key as we have discussed. This means that although you may want a certain situation to happen a certain way- it might not. You see your life from one finite, liner and often ego-based perspective. The Divine sees it all- the source, the transformation, the reactions, the effect. Keep your heart and mind open and let the Divine be the Divine. We don't spend our lives worrying about the fact that we are not mechanics- because we know that if our vehicle breaks down, there is someone who can handle that expertly. Similarly, we cannot worry about some of the nuances in our lives because there is the Divine who is expert at handling them. If we can take action- we must. If we are lost, we must surrender and allow eagerly the Divine to give and do what it is best at giving and doing.

۞ Allow The Light

Many of us struggle with presenting certain things to the Divine. Personally, I struggled for a long time with praying about money or health- because I felt I should only be praying for Divine things and nothing mundane. Then I woke up. Life is life- the Divine knows how things roll here in the material manifestation. Hide nothing. Allow the light of the Divine to shine onto every corner of your heart and being and expose it all. After all, what can you hide that the Supreme cannot seek and find?

۞ Hang

After prayer work- spend some time basking in the love. When you re-renter your life, write what you prayed about off for a time. You sent the letter- don't stress out about it now- it's on it's way and the action will come. Avoid getting caught in the feeling of 'free falling' after prayer- where you know something is going to happen but fear what it might be. Fear attracts fear- misery loves company! Instead, have faith that you outsourced your issue to the One who can truly solve ALL issues in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE... better even than you can imagine. I know that's the scary part- we have problems and want them solved our way.. but that's like eating chocolate flavored candy over eating real chocolate. Incomparable!

Believe in your prayer work. Be dedicated. Be totally accountable for your path and seek guidance that allows YOU to do the footwork. Asking the Divine to do everything for you is pointless- since not doing and experiencing negates the point of being alive. That may be the only true offense to the Divine.

۞ Bless It Forward

Now that you have connected to your own blessings, move it forward. You have experienced what poverty, illness, sadness, abandonment, addiction, etc. etc. feel like so now you know how bad it is to be trapped in that space. Empower yourself to receive more and exponentially increase your love reserves by paying attention to those who experience the same issues you are praying for and bless them! Include the whole universe in part of your prayer work and thus receive a universal magnitude of blessings!

I hope this exploration of prayer will help give you the confidence, trust and guidance to really connect deeply to prayer work. I encourage you to give it a try and experience a dive into the ocean of love for yourself!

Peace & Blessings,

The Spectrum Of Power~ Josh's Color Magic & Healing Techniques

Greetings all!

In today's How-To, we're going to explore the power of color and how to harness it for healing, empowerment and success!

What Is Color?

Color is light energy manifest!

Light (as far as humans can perceive it) is made op of wavelengths in 7 visible colors. Think rainbow-red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

When light hits an object (say a car, a flower or a painting), some of the wavelengths get absorbed by that object- while others bounce off of it. The wavelengths that bounce off enter into our eyes, get interpreted by our brains and we perceive CoLoR! There's a whole amazing process that takes place within our eye-to-brain system that is totally worth learning about if you are interested... try a simple Google.com search for "how we see color" for more info.

What makes color so magical?

That's a great question and one that there are as many answers to as... well, color combination!

I have my own feeling about color healing and I will share it with you here. Color, much like plants, gemstones, planets, stars, locations and sounds carries a specific vibrational pattern- think of this as it's signature. Everything in the natural world from healing herbs to quartz crystals have a vibrational signature. As humans- we also have a unique vibrational signature, but sometimes ours can get a little out of balance. By applying a solid, cosmic vibrational pattern to our own, our systems are literally 'trained' on how to behave properly on an energetic level. Think of this as dropping food dye into water- the water takes on the pattern of color because of it's influence...in the same way, our energetic/subtle bodies can 'take on' or 'learn' a vibration by interacting with it.

I believe that colors and other natural resonances are clean and pure primordial vibrations; literally emanations from the Divine as part of the creative flux.

As we progress through our lives, we experience disease, imbalance, lack, illness, etc. - all physical manifestations of something that first took place on an energetic level. Thus, by using vibrations of energy we can give our systems a cosmic tune-up and bring everything back into balance and power!

How do I work with color?

Simple..be around it!

The three best methods I've found for working with color vibration are:

1. Surround yourself with the color carrying the vibrational 'medicine' you're looking for- clothing, flowers, art, etc.


2. Do meditative deep breathing exercises imagining t a pure stream of your color entering into your heart from the cosmic in the in-breath then filling every fiber of your body and aura on the out breath.


3. Meditate solely within your mind's eye on a color. Try to fill you internal creative visualization with nothing but an endless sea of your color.

Which color should I work with?

Like all things on the intuitive level- there are countless opinions about what each color does. My goal in presenting this information is to empower YOU and allow you to be accountable and in-charge of your own healing journey. There are many sources online regarding the meanings, healing/magical properties and vibrations of color. Try a Google.com search or check out a local metaphysical bookstore to explore many ideas about color.

My suggestion is, of course, to discover this for yourself. Although 'red' might mean one thing to many people- when it interacts with your specific vibrational field it might not fall completely in line with it's general meanings. Red might effect you with anger while it might give me courage. The technique I teach my clients on picking and working with color is to define for yourself what is needed.

Here's my step-by-step guide to connecting to your color truth!

1. Enter a calm, relaxed and meditative space. Feel free to say a prayer or invocation as desired.


2. Call up the part of your own being that knows how to heal your imbalance. I like to use "I call forth that blessed part of my being that is my inner healer and knows the medicine which truly brings me balance". Spend a moment experiencing this connection in any way it comes to you (visual, sensations, feelings, emotions, etc.)


3. Now, as if this was another person, begin internal dialog. you might say "Inner healer, what color will balance and empower me to overcome/bring in ____(state affliction or desire here)___".


4. In a calm and receptive way, allow a color to come into your mind's eye. Don't second guess yourself. Allow whatever happens to happen. I once worked with a client who experienced a 'taste' that meant green to her rather than seeing green in her mind's eye. If you get a flash of more than one color- they all need to be worked with one at a time and individually.


5. Keep in mind that this does not only have to be used for physical/emotional issues. You can work with this for abundance, attracting the right partner, coming closer to Divinity, etc. Any 'initiation' you need help with bringing you in to a new or higher phase of your life journey can be worked with.


6. Using color therapy is a spiritual counterpart to your seeking professional medical or mental care if that is needed. Spiritual workings are meant to support and empower us working with another blessing in our lives- doctors, financial advisers, etc. Please do not rely solely on spiritual healing techniques in case of a medical illness!

Color is just one of many vibrational blessings we have to work with on our life journeys. Accepting these gifts intou our lives is direct communion and reception of Divine blessings and really does make a big impact!

I hope you enjoy exploring more about color and it's healing properties...Get Color & Get Power!

Peace & Colorful Blessings!

The Magic Of Gardening

Greetings!

According to this year's farmers almanac- we should have waited until Yesterday to start plating our more delicate plants. Being in Utah- the weather always defeats the predictions of the weather pro's- but I took a chance and laid out some wildflower seeds and herbs yesterday.
For me, gardening is a moving meditation that rivals my Tai-Chi practice and walking contemplation work. In today's blog, I want to share with you some ideas, inspirations and guidance for truly tapping the spirit of gardening and experiencing a healing, calming and magical rite in your own back yard!

Gardening is a pretty new thing for us humans. Around 8,500 B.C. controlled farms started popping up along the Fertile Crescent... but it wasn't until much later that European cultures abandoned the 'hunter/gatherer' way of life and settled down to farming and livestock control.
The step out of the ways of our ancient ancestors who hunted and gathered was huge. In many cultures- new gods and rituals manifested that were more relevant to gardening and farming since the old gods and old rituals of hunting, trapping and foraging really didn't seem that relevant. In the modern day- most of us don't ever get the joy of seeing where our food comes from- but we can taste a small piece of that amazing process by growing things in our own backyards, porches or window sills.

Realizations!
The one gift that I hold in esteem above all others that comes from gardening is the meditation. Gardening opens me up to the true abundance of the earth and forces my ego to recon with the fact that full living and prosperity are natural- anything less is unnatural. Working the soil, planting seeds and seeing sprouts come up reminds me that all things have their 'path' in this wondrous universe we call home and that 'letting go and letting God' is a really good idea- since the Divine can obviously do things I can't.

Magic!
Every seed I plant comes with a prayer. Some of you may know the traditional meanings for different herbs or plants, and you can use that in your gardening. I tend to go with my intuition and let each seed call forth a desire within me. As I hold each seed- I meditate on my desire, pray that the seed will be a catalyst for it's manifestation in my life and respectfully offer my 'prayer seed' to the Divine in the form of the nurturing earth. Taking that time to literally 'let go' of your prayer and feel it being handed over to the Divine is very powerful and a sincere ritual in and of itself. After I have planted out a section, I typically pour some wine, milk, meal or honey onto the soil as an offering of gratitude to the Divine Earth.
After a few weeks- those inevitable weeds start popping up. What used to be simple garden obstacles are now symbols for the parts of my being that are holding me back from being at the center of my universe. As I go through the moving meditation of weeding, I think each weed for the lesson it has given me while gently and respectfully removing it from the garden. As I do this, I open myself up to any realizations that may come to me about what these weeds mean on a deeper level- do I have wrong internal dialog? Am I self-sabotaging? Is someone else getting in the way? All those weeds go into my compost pile so that next year, the things that once were the obstacles to my success feed and support my new endeavors. I am sure you can see what a powerful, magical and transformative meditation and ritual this is!

Community!
In addition to the personal benefits you can obtain from working with the Earth- there are far reaching community benefits that can be 'paid forward' as well. I try to give some of my harvest to friends and family to share in the powerful blessings and energy from my work over the months. I also want to try this season to donate a portion of my harvest to a local food bank to move the blessing into the lives of those who might be struggling. When you garden- food is not just a commodity... it has your love, attention, prayer and meditation infused within it's every cell- and that makes it magical food!
Community gardens are also popping up all over the place- and this is an excellent way to work with the land if you don't have any room where you live, meet great people, get out in the fresh air and connect in a deep and lasting way with the Divine.

Whether you are growing basil in a window sill planter or heriloom tomatoes in a big backyard plot- I hope you get the chance this year to experience the magic, blessings and awe of working with the Earth. If you have never done any gardening before- now is a great time to start! A simple planter garden in your kitchen window will remind you that it needs to be watered and will give you excellent companionship when you have to deal with the dishes :)

Free Weekly Energy Attunement & Healing 05/07/09~05/13/09

IMPORTANT!: For those new to using this service....
Please read PURPLE TEXT first to learn how to work
with distance attunements from Josh!

Every Thursday Josh channels and empowers a healing symbol for the week. This symbol is ONLY active for one week!

The symbol, by meditating on it and imagining it 'popping' off the screen and entering into a light aura around your body, attunes, heals or empowers you to a specific cosmic blessing. A description of each week's channel will be presented with the symbol so you can decide if it's right for you.
Just looking at the symbol will not attune you!

You must calm, center, and imagine the symbol in it's shown color made of dazzling light coming from the screen into your energy field.
Please do not imagine it entering into your physical body!!!

Just visualize a glowing light space 3"-4"around your body and see the symbol being absorbed by this light field.

This way if this is an attunement not in accord with your system, it can be rejected without any problem!

Josh personally energizes the symbol with this weeks channeled global need, creates a cosmic filter, links it with consensus consciousness and places it under a protective rite so that anyone who calls out by meditating on the symbol will receive a pure, untampered 'download' of the original energy matrix from the main working. Josh performs his attunements in a very unique and powerful way... They are extremely gentle while still being highly powerful and effective!

This weeks symbol:

open from posting on 05/07/09 until 11:00pm PST/USA 05/13/09

Empowerment:

This week the attunement sent to you focuses on the liberation of desires not yet fulfilled. Each of us has things we have wanted to do in our lives- and these unresolved desires, when not acknowledged for the hard truth of 'why' they might not have manifested, train our subconscious to believe in lack, poverty and that wishes don't come true. When something we desire does not manifest- we need to take a hard look at the circumstances surrounding it, and figure out how we could have thought more positively, acted more directly or been more in harmony with our true desires and not those of our false ego.

Hording belief in desires not met trains us on every level to believe that desires cannot be met!

No more of that!

Channeled message for symbol:

Looking deeply into your heart you will see a mirror that reflects the whole of creation.

Two types of desires rule the hearts of all- one is bad medicine meant only to pacify the addictions of the ego... the other is made of true blessings meant to guide you into completely receptivity of all the universe has to bless you with.

If you want to attain the things you truly desire, you must first clear yourself of the cobwebs and dust of disbelief. The truth is the we are ever showering you with more than you can imagine but blocking by the ego often leaves blessings hovering over ones head and not flowing forth into their lives. Be at peace with the abundance of the cosmos and of our desire to see you wrapped up in complete happiness and bliss!

The Symbol:

All the best!

Declarations Of Magic- The Next Level Of Affirmations!

Greetings All!

In this weeks wisdom article I am going to share with you a secret piece of Egyptian/Kemetic wisdom that has the power to:
* Change your life!
* Get you in harmony with the law of attraction
* Protect you negativity and bad situations
* Help you define what you want so the cosmos can get on board!

Many of my clients have asked me "Why do affirmations never work for me?" or "Why do I keep attracting bad stuff when I am trying to think positively so hard?". The answer is simple...
There are two parts of our being that need to be convinced of our affirmative work; the higher and lower minds- and usually the lower ego/animal brain aspects of our minds are far from on board when we work with affirmations.
When we say things in the present positive to create law of attraction like "I am the proud owner of my dream home"- the higher mind can get on board- but the ego pretty much just thinks you've lost your marbles because it knows that's not true right now, right here- and that's all it cares about. Your higher mind operates beyond time- your ego is only concerned with time. One is about infinity, the other about the finite.
In order for any affirmation to work- both the lower and higher parts of the brain need to be on board- or nothing happens.

So how do we train ourselves to overcome limited thinking (poverty, illness, loneliness, etc.) while engaging every part of our being so that the cosmos can only line up with our paradigm and act? Follow my simple layout and get plugged in to unlimited potential!

1) Stop using affirmations and start using DECLARATIONS!
One of the most common things among millionaires in this country is that they think bi-laterally. "I want my cake AND I want to eat it to!". Poverty-minded people just get a twinkie and settle for less. Declarations are different from affirmations because they are not working with a verbiage that the ego will put in the spam box of our brain- thinking it's a lie. Here's the difference....
Affirmation: "I am the proud owner of my dream home"
Declaration: "I have everything I need to manifest owning my dream home"
The ego can argue the hell out of the affirmation- but not the declaration because the ego intrinsically believes that where there's a wheel there's a way! So don't lie- be honest- and the honest truth about ANYTHING you want is that you DO have what it takes to manifest it and you simply need to call that forth. After the first declaration sets in- you can move on to saying more magical things like "The path towards manifesting my dream home is clearing" and "I call forth the part of my being that has the answers for this desire".

2) Watch yourself like a hawk!
EVERY TIME you catch yourself thinking poor, sick or lacking- you have to remind yourself that you CAN have your cake and eat it too. This cannot become an internal argument of the ego will begin associating change with anger. It has to be a gentle, light-hearted and even giggling reminder that what you think now is pretty silly and you're not really into that limited way of being anymore. I usually say something like "The truth is that I have every resource I need to make this happen". You have to re-train yourself to stop thinking in limited ways... that means every time a thought comes up that isn't on the cosmic platform of unlimited love and blessings- you have to slap yourself in the rear and declare that it's not so. Believing this is important to- and if you don't believe it now... take a walk in nature and contemplate how abundant, ideal and present everything always is- then you can believe there's more than enough for you because there's more than enough for the birds!

3) Write what's right
Every day while you're on the phone, at work, watching t.v., etc. keep a paper nearby and just jot down words or phrases of power. This seems like a trivial exercise- but consider that you are involving your mind, body, energy, emotions, activity and environment in making a declaration when you write- and that's pretty holistic if you ask me!

4) Get outta your head!
Sitting on the couch building declarations all day won't bring you a yacht. If you want something- declare it, own your desire and go out and be with it. If you want that new house- go play at IKEA for a few hours and start designing rooms. If you want the new car, research it online and think about what rims and accessories you're going to roll with. There HAS to be action- you have to expend movement and energy to make this work or there's no radar letting this stuff know where to send the package.

5) The secret of all secrets
When you want something, bless and be proud of everyone you encounter who already has it.
Let the rich jerk with the BMW you lust after become an object of your blessing- bless him that the car he has worked so hard for will serve him and be a source of joy for him for years to come. Bless those who have what you want, and bless yourself to be the person who has what you want.

I hope this little article opens you up to a whole new world of affirmative living and right thinking! I encourage you to experiment with this and allow the power of Divine acceptance to work it's way into your life so that you can have all there is for you to have- and be all there is for you to be!

Powerful Rite Of Protection From 'Bad Energy'

I am often asked “how do I protect myself from bad energy?”.
The process I teach to make this happen is not only simple- it is highly
effective!

‘Bad energy’ comes into our systems through the chakras-
energy centers in the body that ‘inhale and exhale’ life energy. Although most
of us think of chakras as a purely Indian concept- they are actually expressed
in mystic cultures all over the globe! When toxic vibes enter our energy field
via the chakras or by attaching to our aura, they begin blocking off our
connection to the pure forms of energy, creating energetic chaos in our systems
and troubles in body, mind and emotions. Staying properly protected
energetically is of utmost importance and I highly recommend everyone take this
practice into their normal meditation routine; especially those of us who are
psychic readers, healers or natural empaths.

If you are not familiar with the chakra system, it might
help to do some basic research online to get a strong understanding of why my
method works, or you can just go with it!

As in all spiritual work, it is important to begin by
creating a safe, calm and undisturbed space where you can be in sanctuary from
about 30 minutes.

I suggest this practice be performed monthly at the new
moon, as this is a time when we can ‘begin again’, more easily rid ourselves of
old energetic patterns that don’t serve us and seal up protective work.

We will be working with the seven common chakras, 4
extension chakras and auric field in this practice.

Step One:

Get comfy. Either sit, stand or lay down in a way that is
comfortable for your body and will be without disturbances (this includes cell
phones!) for about 30 minutes. You may want to take a purifying bath, use
cleansing incense, light a special candle or play sacred music as well during
this time. Do what works for you to create an atmosphere of healing and
empowerment.

Step Two:

Do some gentle deep breathing to charge your system and get
in touch with your body. Allow your breath to gently return to its normal pace
after a few deep, focused breaths.

Step Three:

Starting at the root/base chakra (use the chart below as a
cheat sheet!), visualize bands of appropriate color wrapping around your body
in line with the chakra. The energy will wrap around you like a belt about 4”
thick at the level of each respective chakra center. Slowly work your way up
from the base. As you charge these bands of light, you may wish to recite a
protective prayer, phrase or statement to further charge it and connect it to
your subconscious mind. A list follows the cheat sheet to help you get some
ideas about what each chakra can do to help you. Include these key powers in
what you say and visualize. When you reach the crown chakra- you will want to
wrap it two ways- first, around the crown of your head like a sock hat covering
the entire crown of your skull. Second, make a band going down the front of
your body up the back- running parallel to the chakra points.

Step Four:

Now, in the same manner as the chakras, create these
energetic ‘belts’ around each hand and foot. It is best to move clockwise- right
foot, right hand, left hand, left foot. Again, symbolism of each extension
chakra follows the cheat sheet.

Step Five:

To close, create a shell of gold around your entire body,
about 6” from the skin. This protects the aura and also empowers it. Scan the
shell from bottom to top and really make sure you have no holes or spaces in
it- make it solid, smooth, illuminated and strong!

Step Six:

Spend some time connecting to your new protective field.
Anytime you feel you need it, simply remember it is there and in place. As you
work this practice each month, you will begin to intuitively discover which
chakras’ bands get torn down more and will be able to investigate why. Gently
bring yourself back into your physical awareness, stretch well… go out and live
your life protected, blessed and empowered!

Root Chakra: Red, Life, physical body

Sacral Chakra: Orange, Sexuality, Creativity

Solar Plexus Chakra: Yellow, Personal power, will, our unique
journey, our paths

Heart Chakra: Green, emotions, love, empathy, intuition

Throat Chakra: Blue, true, words, manifestation

Third Eye Chakra: Indigo, thoughts, beliefs, mind, desires

Crown Chakra: Purple, our connection to Divinity and true
self, our spiritual path, ‘one-ness’

Hands: Gold, action, work, money

Feet: Gold, movement, travel, experience, karma

Peace & Great Blessings!
