Be Careful What You Inhale, Part 2

Last time I was talking about the tension that might build up in our bodies because of our exposure to electricity or electrical devices. This time I'd like to make a suggestion for avoiding some of that when possible.

When you place your left hand on a wall switch to turn on a light, if you happen to be breathing in when you are doing that you might just take in through your left hand that tension that is associated with electrical energy in the wires in that wall switch. You won't take in the electricity itself of course because the wall switch has been carefully engineered so that you are safe when you touch it but the tension is there. What to do about that?

This takes some training and I have applied it myself and sometimes you will make mistakes and just naturally in the course of unconsciously breathing, be breathing in when you're touching a wall switch or other electrical object such as a microwave - touching it with your left hand for instance. So if you do that and you notice a tension build up in your body remember to do your clearing work as you might find here or here but if you're conscious of going to touch that switch here's a very simple thing you can do to avoid that tension.

Either exhale your breath while you are touching that wall switch or stop breathing for a moment - meaning hold your breath. Don't breath in, don't breath out. It'll just be for the very slight second or two that you flip the switch on or off.

That's the simple way to avoid taking in the tension that is associated with that electricity which wishes to be elsewhere since it is a portion of Mother Earth's body and its purpose, I believe, is to move things around in Mother Earth's body.

There has been a great deal of research into what is electricity and it is not my job to explain that here but from my point of view and from my teaching and expertise I would say that it is largely to do with Mother Earth's interaction with other planets, other star systems and has to do with her feeling body.

We have a feeling body of course and so does Mother Earth. We might think of her feeling body as something that she does when she moves portions of her body around as in earthquakes but I also feel that her electricity is a portion of her nervous system which may be what stimulates her to move this portion of her body this way and that portion of her body that way. We could suggest to ourselves that this makes sense since our own nervous system is involved in such communications in ourselves.

I believe that we are in many ways a microcosm of Mother Earth's body functions. Of course we are souls but our souls adapt to the form that is provided for us here on this planet by being made up physically of Mother Earth. This is what I believe.

I am hopeful this teaching and these exercises provided here will improve the quality of your life in the most benevolent way. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Mother Nature is Prepared to Help You

Some of you have been wondering how to handle the extremes of day to day life. Sometimes you're put into a position where you know you're supposed to express happiness, perhaps at this or that social event, and other times you know you're supposed to express seriousness and you don't always feel serious.

In this day and age so much is expected of the individual that we were not trained for. Times are changing but people at their core remain essentially the same.

So I'm going to suggest a couple of things. One - when you feel that you've just had too much and can't take it anymore, find a big tree - alright? It has to be a tree that's really quite old and sturdy, been there for a while kind of tree you know, not a young tree or if there's not a lot of trees where you are there might be a mountain or something close to a mountain - okay - as long as it's not man-made and part of nature - okay?

Then this is what to do. Just go out or get as close as you can to that tree or that mountain and look at a portion of it where as far as you know there's nothing man-made.

So if it's a tree but there's wires nearby look at some part of the tree where there are no wires but don't go up and touch the tree. Same thing about the mountain. If you know there's houses on it don't go and stare at that part. I've brought this up before but I need to bring it up again. And just, while you're looking at it, take 10 deep breaths slowly not quickly and just exhale naturally.

I've used this before when I've spoken about the sun in order to give you energy but I'm bringing this up now because the social demands of life sometimes either catch us unawares or put us into a position that's awkward for us and we just need some extra energy or something to calm us.

Of course you can't rush out to your tree very often when these social instances take place but here's what you can do. Once you've had that experience once or twice with the tree or the mountain you can close your eyes for about 30 seconds - you see - and during that 30 seconds even if you're in a crowded place where you're safe alright - an office, something like that, just turn away from everybody.

It's alright if you're facing your computer or whatever you need to face and if you can close your eyes for a moment - that 30 seconds or so - imagine that tree and try to remember exactly where you were standing and how you were standing. Remembering that situation as best you can breathe in and out again. Not deep breaths where you are puffing. Just remember how you did it before and be conscious of your breath in and out.

If it was to get extra strength such as looking at the sun or if it was to become calmer and more grounded such as looking at the tree or the mountain then this will help.

So you see very often, as I've said before, one thing is built on another and one thing leads to another. Goodlife.

Balancing The Imbalance From Others

Recently Patrice asked a question which I felt might be of interest to you all:


Dear Robert,

I have a question about feeling welcome and feeling rejected.

Is it always easy for you to let go when other human beings welcome you badly (if this happen to you) in a shop or an administration, treating you like a "nothing"?

On your point of view, what is the meaning of such situations happening to you and how do you transmute the energy they create.

Goodlife

Patrice


Here is my answer:

Patrice, it is true that not everyone will like us or they may be biased or prejudiced based upon their reaction to our appearance or demeanor. How to deal with this?

First off, if you're used to uniting with energies that are benevolent then I recommend you to this post. That can help to prevent a great deal of this.

On the other hand if it happens unexpectedly then this is what I recommend. If someone simply is not acknowledging you it doesn't always mean that it's about you. Remember, this is their behavior. If it is their behavior it is about them not about you.

If you remember that distinction it will be very helpful for you in life because you will know that their reaction has nothing to do with you whatsoever. You are simply the recipient of their current attitude. With that attitude you can simply step away or if you're in a store approach somebody else.

On the other hand, as you said, what to do with that energy if it feels bad to you? If it feels bad to you then you know that's about you and the first chance you get when you leave that store or that place of service or if you get close to a window then simply get in touch of that part of your body where it feels bad and take a breath in through the top of your head where it's likely to be the best energy and locating that breath behind that part of your body that doesn't feel good but in your physical body - blow out towards the sky - not towards the ground.

Just blow out right towards the sky. That will probably help quite a bit and if it doesn't try it again. One or two breaths will blow it out and take care of it. That's the quick way, then when you get home do a disentanglement about that situation. That will also help.

That's what I recommend. Goodlife.

Magnetic Attraction And Your Breath

Now comes a time in your lives that you have been waiting for. You all have an opportunity now to see things you've always wanted to see. Do you know how, over the years you've done visualizations - yes - creative visualizations that have helped you to move past certain points that are difficult in your life? Many times in these creative visualizations there was a beautiful scene that you would see, or you would step from one place into a place that's a beautiful scene. Now you have the opportunity to bring that beautiful scene closer to your life. Let me tell you how.

Picture again that beautiful scene but instead of doing the visualization where you put yourself in the scene - feel the ground under your feet, smell the smells and so on - this time I'd like you to use your breath. When you see that scene, those of you who've done these visualizations, look at it from a little distance and then as you're looking at it move your point of seeing that scene closer so you are almost in it and then looking at it take a deep breath - breathe it in.

If you wish to be in the visualization in that beautiful place that is alright also. Breathe it in so that you can actually feel it. You will feel the feelings of being in that place and you will assimilate it more.

It is a time now of increased magnetic attraction and the way to improve that attraction is to use your breath. There is another way to do this.

Consider visualizing, as best you can, the most wonderful life you could possibly have but it must be done as something benevolent. If you can do this as something that is benevolent for all beings - as best you can, again - put yourself in the scene and breathe - breathe it in. Feel it move, as your body reacts, within you. Feel the energy of that scene move into you.

This is a time of magnetic attraction - breathe it in. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Gentle Forms Of Personal Safety

Now there is a time coming in the distant future when everyone on the planet will feel much more compatible with each other.
What is going on now that you see around you sometimes, or that you see on your news programs or read about or hear about is a purging of things from the past but there is another factor and this is something you can do something about right now.
There are times when you are moving about or even when others are moving about in your general area who are angry or upset or who are agitated or even when you go someplace, moving about and you go into an area where someone has been who is angry, upset or agitated or is there now and you know very often you'll get a feeling that is uncomfortable.
What I'd like to do to share with you today is what you can do about that in a benevolent way since everyone gets angry and upset sometimes. We don't want to punish people who are angry and upset because they are having real feelings that are real for them.
If you get a feeling, say, let's say for example you're going to - onto an elevator - say there's a row of elevators, three, four, five elevators and you're just getting ready to step on one. You get this very uncomfortable feeling. If you can, step back out of the elevator - it's alright, don't worry about what people think about you. You can always say you thought of something you had to do if it comes up which is very unlikely and wait for the next one. It will probably feel better.
There is something else you can do though, say you have to get on that elevator - it's urgent, you're late, maybe all the elevators are full. So you get on the elevator, then this is what to do - breathe in if you can - imagine breathing in through the top of your head. I know you have to breathe in through your mouth and fill your lungs with air, we all do, yes but imagine, try to breathe in through the very top of your head.
What this does is it pulls on your energy field that is the most clear place energy fields are for human beings and by breathing in through the top of your head or pulling on that energy and just breathing out normally it tends to deflect things away from you that are not you or that are uncomfortable. It's not just to distract you so that you won't feel the discomfort, it gives you something you can genuinely do and there's a bonus.
The bonus is that since that energy is the clearest portion of your own energy and is not permeated with your own feelings of anger or disappointment or anything that might be going on for you, it can only be beneficial for those around you because you are pulling on this clear energy and you breathe out that energy every time you exhale - it actually is a way to push the energy that is uncomfortable on the elevator away from all Beings there. This is very beneficial.
If there were even two of you on this elevator doing it, it would clear that discomforting energy from the elevator for everyone but just you doing it for yourself will clear it not only for you but probably for those immediately around you, it's that powerful but it's not a power that knocks people over or makes them uncomfortable, it will be something that is relaxing and comforting. So this is something you can do for yourself that actually serves others.
Don't blow when you exhale just exhale naturally alright. This will help a great deal. Now I use the elevator example because it's a very small enclosed space but this will work much easier in a larger room. Say that you can feel someone emanating that - what you do - it's very discrete and they won't notice it, what you do is that if you can tell where it's coming from or even the general part of the room it's coming from you breathe in and pull through the top of your head like that and you very gently either look in that direction and blow very gently in that direction - don't blow a big puff of air, nothing like that, just exhale but purse your lips together just a little bit so that you're actually blowing very gently in that direction. Gently actually works better than blowing hard and that will be of great help you see.
Now there may be times when it's awkward or uncomfortable to look in that direction so I'm going to tell you something you can do if you're walking. Say you're walking into a store and there's some people in the store that you are uncomfortable being around for whatever reason - might be perfectly innocent, perhaps it isn't quite as safe but you have to go in. Maybe you need to buy milk for the baby or something. So you're going into the store than this is what you can do - while you're walking into the store try to swing your arms. People normally swing their arms when they walk.
When you have your hand, whichever one it is - ideally it would be your right hand, I'd say try to make it your right hand okay - obviously if the people are in front of you or to your immediate right or left but towards the front of you, you can blow in that direction by breathing in through the top of your head but this is the other thing you can do. If they're to your left when you walk in the store you can move your hand out in front of you, discretely, with your fingers open as if you were going to shake hands with somebody but just barely in front of you so it's not confusing for someone near you that you're trying to shake hands and when you breathe in through the top of your head imagine (why, in many of your cases since you are sensitive and have these capabilities) breathe out through your right hand with your palm towards those individuals.
What happens is that it just sends out a ripple, a ripple of energy not unlike a ripple in water. It's very gentle. It does not harm them. It does not thrust your energy on them but it will tend to move their energy back on themselves and it will last for anywhere up to three or four minutes.
So that's what I recommend you try and then when you're in the store if you have to move around to buy things you can very easily from a distance even if there are racks of things between you, you can then breathe in through the top of your head and blow out in their general direction while you are looking at some products. That will tend to push their energy back towards them also.
I am not saying this is a be all end all safety thing. What I am saying is that it might help just so that you can move in and out of the store a little more discretely and might help you to feel better and not absorb other people's discomfort. Remember I said at the beginning of this talk that one of the reasons society is disturbed and unsettled is that sometimes because human beings are so receptive we tend to take on the discomforts of others and because they feel very much the way we feel with our own discomfort, we don't know that we're trying to process somebody else's discomfort and then we get agitated.
I recommend that for those of you that know how, at the end of every day to focus on feeling the warmth within you. For those of you who go hiking or jogging or running, it will tend to push that energy out of you anyway but for those of you who can feel that loving warmth, just let it radiate in you for five, ten, even fifteen minutes at the most. It'll push everything out that isn't you and you'll feel more benevolent afterwards.
Alright, that's enough for today. We'll talk more about these matters as time goes on. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
