The Divine Partnership: You and Your Body

Lecture based Questions:

1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.

You know what to do.

2. What is your first responsibility during this lifetime and every lifetime?

To nourish and maintain the health and well-being of your physical body. Consider the body as a pet animal that has been entrusted under your care. It always does its best to help you in life. You are responsible for the quality of food, the balanced lifestyle, and the amount of rest that it gets.

When does it start getting easy?

After the 4DI (Fourth Degree of Initiation) our attitudes about logic and discipline make it easier to choose well for the body’s nurturing. We are all required to master the art of wellness between the 4DI and the 5DI. However, you are always welcome to get the hang of it as early as you like.

What interferes with this relationship?

Minding other people’s business takes energy away from what really belongs to us. This challenge begins early in life. As children we are encouraged to ignore our feelings, our discomfort, our tiredness in order to fulfill our social responsibilities. Often we equate being a productive member of society with self-abnegation. Of course, this is a false schtick. We are working towards a human society that honors the body, accommodates emotional spaces, prevents health problems through wise choices, and creates an environment that is friendly to a high quality of life for everyone—human and non-human.

3. Who can help you with maintaining a well-balanced lifestyle that nurtures your body?

Your Guardian Angel and your Healing Angel are ready to give you the correct advice anytime and anywhere. Just ask them.

Does meditation help?

Yes.

Why?

After you have cleaned out your inner bullshit, you are then able to increase your listening function. In this receptive mode, you can pay attention to what your body needs, you can ask for angelic advice and understand it, and you can feel the correctness of wise choices beyond the ka-ka of your neurotic appetites.

4. How do we monitor the daily changes and needs for adjustment in the body?

Asking is good. As part of our responsibility, we are to learn how the body works, from the functions of the organs to the cellular activities. Catching a physical imbalance before it manifests as a problem is what we are aiming for. By the time you show the symptoms of illness or pain, the body has become involved with your behavioral peccadillo at every system level. To catch stuff early, we can daily check the body for the following points and work on our emotional causes at the same time.

•Temperature variations in the body are clues to imbalance. Cold patches indicate circulation problems and blood pressure imbalance. Tumors like cold spots. Hot spots point to places of inflammation and sometimes infection. Using topical remedies such as heating pads and ice packs is effective in turning things around. Nutritional supplements are also needed.

•Food cravings usually indicate a nutritional lack. The food itself might not be the answer, but some substance that interacts with the body is needed. For instance, a depletion in magnesium shows up as a craving to chew ice. Read up on the craving and you can figure it out.

•The skin is the great revealer of the body. It announces what the kidneys are up to. It displays a symptom for every malaise. It tells you that there is stress before you know it. What is good for the skin is good for the body.

•Body strength is great or weak depending on the supply of amino acids. L-Carnitine is lacking in certain genetic lines. L-Lysine is sometimes missing in carnivore diets. If you didn’t get Hercules genes, then you can get Hercules amino acids and fix the holes in your cellular level.

5. Should we extend our body concerns to the people within our field of karmic influence?

Yes, but nagging is a no-no. It creates bad chi and makes your loved ones feel obligated to resist you. You are not their caretaker or their co-dependent. You can amaze yourself by your powers of metaphysical suggestion instead!

Visualize them as energetic, vital, taking good care of themselves and loving it. Make statements such as “Jane is whole, happy, and healthy in mind, body, and spirit!” or, “John loves to take good care of his health and to eat food that is good for him.”

It only takes a single person to believe in the Divine Archetype to get it to manifest and drop into the “reality” of the physical world. The Light transcends every obstacle of the physical dimension.

6. At energetic and astral levels, do we have any limits of curing or health maintenance?

In the universe, anything is possible—any miracle, any fantastic good thing, any type of blessing. We are limited by our belief systems. Love is in the air, so let’s get some. Good health is in the air, so let’s cultivate it for ourselves. Healing is available in unlimited quantities, so let’s order some up from room service. The blind can see. The paralyzed can have full function. The deaf can hear. The poor can be wealthy. We can all be fricking miracles, or we can all have miraculous fricks—either one is good. Let’s be happy and blessed.

7. Meditation Exercise: Divine Lotus Seeks Me

Creating an aura of health intelligence is a requirement for the Fourth Degree of Initiation. Life is easier and more fun when we are able to maintain this energy level. The following visualization is designed to implant in your aura the seeds of good health and conviction in perfect energy.

• Sitting under a great and wonderful tree of ancient and massive demeanor, you relax and breathe. Raise your hands beside your head, about a foot outward. The tips of your fingers should be level with the top of your head, but don’t obsess about this. Your thumbs and middle fingers are touching fingertips, creating circles. Your shoulder blades are close together. Your breast feels open and relaxed.

• As you inhale, rainbows flecked with gold enter your lungs. Breathe five times. By the fifth inspiration, rainbows have filled up your entire body so that you are rainbow colored.

• Open your hands so that the palms are receiving the sky. Make slow circles of your hands sideways so that they are moving out and in. As you inhale, the circle motion is up and out. As you exhale, the circle motion is down and in. Feel the collection of prana and chi as you perform this motion.

• Your hands will want to stop when you are ready. Finish with your palms receiving sky at a comfortable level, elbows bent, roughly in line with your shoulders and at jaw level. Don’t obsess about this either.

• Turn your face comfortably to the sky, and feel Divine Benediction shining upon you like sunshine.

• Your cupped hands are the outline of the lotus. Your face is the heart of the lotus. Pink, gold, and white energy are glowing all around you. Your body is the stem of the lotus. Feel the life-giving source of energy streaming up through the soles of your feet and flowing through your entire being. You are connected to the source of all life. You are filled with the power of life. The universe supports you. Your essence and all your being is life, power, strength, beauty, love, and goodness.

Give Thanks in Advance (It Already Exists, So Why Not?)

So many times, we forget that the things we wish to manifest are already in waiting on the Mental Plane. They are merely waiting for Astral energy to conjure the archetype into slower matter. Even waiting does not need to be necessary if one begins to churn the energies of receptivity into a freely flowing state.

The best things imaginable in the world are at your fingertips. The golden prize is poised above your open hand.

Why do you feel pain? Why do you have illness? Because you believe that this is possible. Fantasize that you have the equal conviction that perfect healing, continual good health, invulnerable immunity, and instant healing are your Divine Right. It might be a stretch of the imagination, but this is the path that we all must trod eventually. No medicine, surgery, dentist, or witch doctor can heal you faster than you can, nor as permanently nor as completely.

I cannot make you believe this, but I can suggest the possibility. Experiment on yourself today. Is there some physical glitch that is not performing well? Focus your attention on this anomaly and visualize the way that it should be. Speak the word of your good function and freedom from pain or infection or tiredness. Visualize the components of your body working for you in their regeneration and healing. Visualize yourself supporting your body through good rest, exercise, nourishment, and relaxation. Address only one body item at a time in your quest of wholeness.

Your Guardian Angel, your Healing Angel, and your teachers can guide you to employ various methods of healing from both organic and energetic approaches. Learn to heed their suggestions and abandon your food and lifestyle preferences. These outworn structures of identity are what cause illness in the first place. Your can be a new person with new behaviors of life-affirming action. This will amaze your friends!

You are given a new body each lifetime to learn the variety of different limitations, needs, and impulses. Savor each adventure allotted to you. Even difficulties have their rewards. Your gifts and virtues are designed to support your weaknesses. You are a complex and wonderful being, and the Hierarchy is always interested in your progress.

The sacred trust given to each of us as we experience incarnation is the nurturing and blessing of the physical animal that we call our bodies. There is no more important nor more powerful connection than this one. If we abandon our bodies with self-loathing, impatience, neglect, and abuse, then our personal karma is to experience the ramifications of such behavior through pain and weakness. The physical bodies have their own consciousness and preferences. The challenge is to integrate the best of these with our ideals and goals.

Whenever we are afflicted with pain, we are expected to direct our intention to the healing of the afflicted organ and related systems. Some knowledge of the body and its anatomy is required for this. It is to be remarked upon that someone who has avoided learning about the scientific structure of the body has an attitude adjustment in the coming. Someone who relies solely on the efforts of others for their wellness will eventually come to realize that the motives and therefore the effectiveness of others cannot be perfectly trusted. The Mental Body can discern whether or not a teacher or a healer can be adequate to a condition.

You are all healers and teachers in training. Each affliction you experience contributes to your wisdom and compassion. There is no wasted effort, there is no wasted time, there is no wasted energy. Be patient with yourself, maintain a cheerful attitude, keep your sights on your own business, affirm the ideal in order to pull it into your life. Command your own future in a deliberate and eager mode.

Perfection is not an option, but—

Good Fun

Good Love

Good Health

and

Good Abundance

Are always on the menu.
