The importance of clearing your space
By Penny Wing, Master Teacher at The Diana Cooper Foundation

Have you ever walked into a place which didn’t feel “right” or made you feel uncomfortable? Some places are full of “stuck” energy and this can be as a result of 3 main things – physical dirt, existing energy and clutter

Physical dirt – low level energy always accumulates around dirt therefore it is very important to keep your house as clean as possible (within reason)

Existing energy – everything that happens in a building is recorded in the walls, floors, furniture and objects. This energy is like physical dirt and even though we cannot see it many of us can sense it.

Clutter – any kind of clutter stops the smooth flow of energy around a space.

What is clutter?

The dictionary says clutter is “a crowded and untidy collection of things”. Many space clearing experts categorise clutter as a) things you don’t use or even like, b) things which are untidy or disorganised, c) having too many items in a small space or d) anything that is unfinished

Things you don’t use or even like – Items that are used and loved have vibrant energy around them. However, items which are neglected, unused or unwanted are surrounded by stagnant energy and this can cause the energy in your home to also stagnate. Because we are all connected to everything we own by fine strands of energy, when our home is filled with items we love the energy is positive. Clutter, on the other hand, drags your energy down and the longer you keep it, the more it will have an effect on you. When you get rid of things which have no real meaning for you, you will feel lighter physically and mentally.

Things which are untidy or disorganised – Even if you just have items that you love and use, if they are scattered all over the place and you can’t find them when you need them, your home will still be cluttered. Everyone’s life goes more smoothly when they know where things are. I am not saying that everything should be perfect but your home is an outward representation of what is going on inside you – if you are messy on the outside the chances are you will be messy on the inside!

Too many things in too small a space – sometimes we simply don’t have enough space for what we have accumulated over time! We therefore need to be very careful that we are not cramming in too many things into our home and consequently feeling constricted in our own space. A good idea to keep on top of this is that when you buy something new you give something old away!

Anything unfinished – this form of clutter is harder to see and easier to ignore than the other types but the effects can be far reaching. Things not dealt with in you home reflect issues not dealt with in your life and they can be a constant drain on your energy. From small jobs such as repairing the dripping tap to bigger jobs such as redecorating the house all have an effect on your life outside the home. If you complete all your unfinished business you will be amazed at how your energy levels will increase.

How clutter affects you

Makes you feel tired and lethargic
Most people who hoard things say they can’t find the energy to start clearing them away or throwing them out. The stagnant energy which accumulates around clutter causes this tiredness and lethargy. Clearing it frees up the energy in your home and gives you more vitality.

Can keep you stuck in the past
When all your available space is filled up with clutter how can you allow anything new to come into your life? Your thoughts tend to dwell in the past and you look back rather than look forward. Clearing it helps you to release the past and move on.

Keeps you confused
When you are surrounded by mess, it is impossible to have clarity about what you are doing in your life. When you clear it, you can think more clearly and making decisions becomes easier.

Affects the way people treat you
People treat you the way you treat yourself! If you value yourself others will value you. If you live in a mess you may attract people who disrespect you.

Can make you procrastinate
If you have a lot of clutter around, you will tend to put off doing things. The clutter drains your energy and you just can’t be bothered! Many people, once they have started to clear their surroundings, feel motivated to go on and do things they have been putting off for a long time.

Can cause disharmony
Clutter can be a major cause of arguments in families and between partners. If you live with someone who hoards things their lifestyle can stop your progress.

Can make you feel ashamed
Have you reached the stage where your home is such a mess you are ashamed to invite people over? You can choose to live alone surrounded by your belongings or you can choose to have a good clear out, increase your self esteem and start to have a social life! The choice is yours!

Can make you feel depressed
Many people that suffer from depression are surrounded by clutter. If you are so depressed that you can’t even begin to think about having a clear out, try to least remove the items from the ground level. It can help to lift your spirits and your energy. Ask for help if necessary.

Takes longer to clean your house
It takes at least twice as long to clean a place full of objects and also the objects need cleaning! Just think of what you could do with the extra time you would have if you didn’t have to spend so much time cleaning!

Can make you disorganised
How often do you lose things? How many times have you searched for something, given up and then found it weeks or months later? Being disorganised wastes time.

So why do people keep clutter?

Our possessions reflect parts of ourselves and times in our life which we don’t want to forget. Think about how many women keep their wedding dress stored away in a box which then never gets looked at!
.
Keeping things “just in case”
This is a popular reason why people hold onto things that they don’t need. We know that “your thoughts create your reality” so if you worry that you will need something after you have thrown it away, your subconscious mind will create a situation where you need that thing!! Then you say “I knew it would come in useful one day” but what has actually happened is that you have created that need yourself! If you have lots of clutter that you are keeping for the above reason the message you are sending out to the universe is that you don’t trust it to provide for you.

A sense of identity
It’s easy to become attached to your belongings because you can feel that your own identity is tied up in them. For example, if you have kept a theatre ticket stub from 5 years ago you can look at it and say “I went and saw that show” I am not saying don’t keep some mementoes and gifts but not so many that they keep you rooted in the past. Have regular clear outs to keep the things that represent you for how you are now…

Getting rid of presents is difficult for some people as they feel they are throwing away their friend’s kindness. But if you have enjoyed that present for some time and no longer have a need for it pass it onto someone who will use it and appreciate it – you are then letting it go with love! Our own happiness does not depend on objects staying in our possession for ever!

A sense of security
Modern advertising is designed to play on our insecurities – “If you don’t own one of these you are not as good as other people” is one of the constant underlying messages we receive. For some people no matter how many things they have there is always something else they “need”…true security is about handling things not having things!

The belief that more is better
In the Western world most people have a selection of kitchen knives in their homes – one for chopping small things, one for chopping big things, and so on. Most households in countries from the East such as Bali or Thailand have only one knife which they use for everything! We have been brainwashed by advertising companies into believing that we need a range of knives! It is not true – keep it simple!!

Getting your money’s worth
Some people refuse to let go of their clutter until they feel that they have really got their money’s worth out of it. This applies even if the item was bought at a bargain price or picked up for nothing. Remember good things cannot come into your life easily if you block the flow of energy by persistently holding onto outdated clutter. Relax a little and see what happens.

Letting go

When something comes into your life enjoy it, use it well and when it is time to let it go. It is that simple. Just because you own something it doesn’t mean to say that you have to keep it for ever. You are just a temporary guardian of the many things as they pass through your life. The beginning of the year is an ideal time to start the clearing process so go for it!!

Namaste,

Angel Correspondence Course
By Mildred Ryan, Angel Tutor

I feel blessed to be a tutor of the Angel Correspondence Course. It is wonderful to see how the Angels take each person by the hand and gently guide them on a transformational journey, helping them to heal and move forward into a positive life filled with love, peace and happiness.

A special journey with the Angels

The correspondence course is special because each person has their own personal tutor, and the course is designed to be taken at a pace that suits their lifestyle and commitments.

As people work through the course, they send me summaries of their progress, charting the healing or insights that they have received, along with questions or anything that they would like clarified. I send feedback on all their correspondence. I always meditate beforehand and ask the Angels to guide and inspire me with the words and messages that they would me to send on their behalf.

The messages from the Angels are always loving and inspirational, filled with guidance on how to heal, light up their lives, and find solutions to problems and difficulties.

Sparkling Feedback

Everyone lightens up as they realize how much their Angels love and support them.
This is what a few people have said about the course.

“Working with the Angels has changed my life into a glorious, exciting journey.”

“Thank you Diana and Mildred and everybody that participated in creating this wonderful and insightful course. I have found my mission and purpose in life and have released the past. I am now working on releasing all toxic ties, thoughts, feelings and beliefs, so that I continue lighter on my path and step into the next level of my consciousness and existence.”

“Thank you so much for the positive feedback – your words and thoughts always inspire me to reach for a higher level, and to know that it is possible.”

“I just LOVE this course. It is changing my life so much. Thank you for your precise answers.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Your words and comments always give me an incredible boost of confidence, enthusiasm and joy, and an accelerated desire to move forward on this amazing journey.”

“At the end of this wonderful journey, I can say that it has far outreached the expectations I had for it.”

“I have had some really amazing experiences and quite often think this wouldn’t be happening for me if it wasn’t for this course.”

ABOUT THE FIRST CHAKRA

LOCATION: The first chakra is located at the base of the spine.

PETALS: This chakra rules the lowest vibration of our body and has the slowest wavelength. There are four spokes, or petals. Four is the number of the square and foundations. The square is related to being honest, or giving a “square deal, the four energies of earth-earth, air, fire, and water, and the four directions. Four walls, four legs, or four wheels represent a strong foundation.

NOTE & MANTRA: The note for this chakra is C and the mantra is “lam” or “e” as in red. Chanting these mantras in the key of D while focusing our attention on this area of our body can enable us to more consciously access the first chakra.

COLOR: The color for this chakra is red, which is the lowest frequency of human’s visible light spectrum. Red is the color of anger and/or vitality.

RULES: The first chakra rules our PHYSICAL energies. Also known as the root chakra, it governs our vigor, heredity, survival, security, passion, money, job, and home. This chakra aids us in our everyday survival.

SENSE: The sense of smell is related to this chakra. Our sense of smell is our most primitive sense, and is the first sense that awakens upon our physical birth. The receptors for smell are located at the base of our brain and feeds directly into our limbic system, which is the area of memory and emotion. Therefore, aromas can immediately access emotional memories stored in our unconscious.

ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: The astrological sign associated with the root chakra is Taurus. The symbol for Taurus is the bull. Like our root chakra, the bull is a symbol of masculine power and fertility. The bull roots in the earth with his front hooves and lowers his nostrils toward the ground to warn any who would threaten his “herd”. There are many cows in the herd, but only the strongest bull will be able to preserve the genetic integrity of the group.

The first chakra is actually the basis of both our masculine and feminine energy. It represents our masculine will and male sexual organs as well as the feminine energy of the Goddess Kundalini. Therefore, a man can learn to integrate his feminine power and a woman can learn to integrate her masculine power through the clearing and opening of this chakra.

ELEMENT: Earth is the element associated with the first chakra and the mineral kingdom is the top of that hierarchy. Crystals have been prized by humankind for eons and have also been used in esoteric healing. Since it rules our first dimensional self that is unable to reflect upon itself, perceptions from our root chakra are usually unconscious. This first dimensional portion of us can only be aware of a “hive or species consciousness”.

Even though, the first chakra has many masculine qualities it is also the “seat of the Goddess Kundalini” and is therefore often associated with our relationship with our mothers and with Mother Earth. Our relationships with our mother set up our attitude toward home, security, and money. If we are cut off from our roots, we feel cut off from the earth as well.

CONSCIOUSNESS: The first chakra rules our survival consciousness and represents our deepest unconscious and most primitive self. This chakra represents the reptilian portion of our brain, which is our brainstem, our center for life support. The brainstem and the area immediately above it are called the reptilian brain because it is possessed by all creatures from reptiles to humans. For reptiles, this area is their entire brain, but for humans it is the base, or stem, of their brain. In fact, part of this area is known as the brainstem.

PERSONAL TIMELINE: The first chakra represents birth to two years of age. This is the time before we have completed our process of individuation and still perceive ourselves as a part of our parents. This chakra represents our struggle to come to terms with our physical life and physical body. Our Multidimensional Spirits are new to the limitations and separation of our new 3D reality, and we struggling to learn how to control our physical earth vessel. Fortunately, we naturally travel into the higher dimensions at this age and can return Home whenever we are desperately in need of comfort and understanding.

SOCIAL TIMELINE: Anthropologically, the first chakra represents the time when humankind was cave dwellers. At that time in our “civilization”, we lived from day to day. To assist in our struggle for survival, we worshiped animals and other aspects of our physical environment.

ENDOCRINE GLAND: Each chakra feeds prana into a different endocrine gland. Just as there are seven chakras, there are seven endocrine glands. Both the chakras and the endocrine glands are located along the spinal cord. The endocrine glands manufacture hormones and supply them to the bloodstream. These glands are called “ductless” because there is not a duct to any specific part of the body. Instead, hormones are released into the bloodstream where they are carried by the blood to every organ and tissue to exert their influence on all functions of the physical body.

Each gland is internally related to the other glands and also works closely with the nervous and circulatory system. In order for the organs of the body to work efficiently, the blood must contain certain chemicals. Many of these chemicals are secreted by the endocrine glands, and this secretion is vital for the health of the entire system. Our bodies can become diseased if there are too many or too few hormones.

The endocrine gland for the first chakra is the adrenal glands. There are actually two adrenal glands located with one on top of each of the two kidneys. The adrenal glands are the body’s call to battle. When adrenaline is released into the system our perceptions become clearer, we have added vigor and feel more courageous.
The release of adrenaline activates the fight/flight syndrome, which prepares us for “fight or flight.” Release of adrenaline and activation of fight/flight is brought on by real or imagined danger. Therefore, our emotions can activate a release of adrenaline when we feel extreme fear or even chronic anxiety. The first chakra is the “survival chakra,” and the fight/flight syndrome is vital for the survival of every species.

NERVE PLEXUS: The first chakra is located near the sacral plexus. The sacral plexus is the nerve center, which rules the skeleton, legs, feet, eliminatory system, male reproductive organs, and the prostate. If there is a problem with the leg or foot on the right, masculine, side of the body it can indicate issues of trust in one’s will. If there is a problem with the leg or foot on the left, feminine, side then it can indicate issues with trust of one’s emotional life.

CLEAR: When the first chakra is clear we feel secure, grounded, and stable. We can use good “common sense” to balance our finances as well as our everyday responsibilities and still initiate new activities and interest. Our eliminatory system functions well, neural activity in our legs and feet is healthy, and our ability to initiate sexual encounters is comfortable and natural. Our root chakra is the home of the Sleeping Serpent, our Kundalini. When this chakra is clear and balanced the Goddess Kundalini Shakti can awaken and begin her gradual rise towards reunion with Lord Shiva.

UNCLEAR: When the first chakra is unclear, we feel insecure and fearful. We can also become absent-minded because we are ungrounded. We may also have a difficult time with our finances and day to day necessities. Whatever security we derive from material things can become threatened. There can also be problems with our home, which is our base of operations in physical life. We can become self-indulgent and self-centered and suffer from depression and grief. We may suffer from hemorrhoids, constipation, sciatica, or prostate problems.

All of the above emotional, behavioral, and physical health issues have to do with the ability to let go. We cannot let go of our sadness, let go of material sources of comfort when finances require, or even let go of the waste material of our bodies. If we cannot release what is holding us back, we cannot move forward. Difficulties with our sciatic nerve and problems with our legs and feet display this dynamic. Prostate problems can arise from frustrated sexual or creative drives.

EARTH’S CHAKRAS: Just as the first chakra represents our physical body, the Earth’s first chakra represents Her physical body. The planetary first chakra is located at Mt. Sinai in the Middle East. Lady Gaia is allowing Her Kundalini to rise to meet her Divine Mate. It is TIME now that we hear Her call. Hence, this area of the planet is the center of great unrest.

DIMENSIONS: The first chakra rules our first and second dimensional selves. Our first dimensional self represents the genetic coding, cells, and minerals of our bodies. It also represents our most primitive “animal self”, which is represented by the fight/flight response that serves to assure the survival of the species. The root chakra also rules the male sex glands and the testosterone that they secrete. This testosterone drives the males in our society, and the male polarity of our psyche, to perpetuate and protect humanity.

SUMMARY: The body of Mother Earth and Her consciousness, Lady Gaia, is the third dimensional planet that supports our physical body. Just as our physical body communicates with our consciousness by its state of health, disease, comfort, and discomfort, Lady Gaia communicates with us via the health of Her planet.

There are many challenging, dense and difficult realities on Planet Earth. Each soul encounters the full spectrum of experience in its journey of becoming. Those who learn to travel in consciousness are able to seed fifth-dimensional realities and experience timelines aligned with love, abundance and joy. From this place, they are able to become world servers, assisting others in their journey of self-realization.

Traveling in consciousness is possible when we awaken to the fact that time and space restrictions are part of the illusion. All-that-is exists in an eternal moment that our conscious minds experience in segments of “time” for learning purposes. While our physical bodies exist in space coordinates, our consciousness is limitless, expansive and all-inclusive. We are able to step outside time and space by briefly withdrawing our focus from the time/space continuum.

Travels in Consciousness Align us with our Highest Visions

When we travel in consciousness, our journeys take place over what seems like long periods of time in our internal world. These internal journeys actually happen in a space of time as brief as the blink of an eye in our external world. It is by traveling in consciousness that we can navigate the menu of life potentials and energize the ones most closely aligned with our highest visions.

Potential Futures and Multiple Realms of Experience

Potential futures exist side by side as alternate timelines. A person who knows how to navigate inner time is able to perceive these alternate timelines.

We work with potential futures in three realms at once. We live inside the fruits of the past currently manifesting as our present moment. We live in the near future we are envisioning and seeding now. We live in the distant future where potentials we are now seeding are manifesting and coming to full flower. Inside our present moment, we are influenced by the moments we have lived through time, past seeds currently manifesting and the future potentials we are energizing now.

Choosing Among the Potentials we set into Motion

We are able, through intention, imagination and conscious awareness, to seed potential futures in our garden of no-time, which we observe and nurture over time. We will not necessarily choose to manifest or bring all these potentials into physical reality. As we visit these fields of potential in consciousness, we are able to perceive them as they extend into future time, and choose the highest and best from among them.

Every moment we are free to choose among the potential futures we set into motion in the past. As we observe the potentials we set into motion, we are able to learn from these fields we are cultivating in our garden of no-time. Our insights and observations help provide us with valuable feedback we are able to use in choosing the timelines we wish to experience in the future.

We continue to observe and learn from our “roads not taken” but this doesn’t mean we feed them with sufficient life-force energy for them to manifest. Within every moment we choose the potentials that hold the greatest learning and growth opportunities – those most compatible with our current intentions. At any given time we are free to join one of these “inner realities in progress” and shift to the timeline where that potential is manifesting as our reality.

It is by consciously seeding, cultivating and choosing realities that we are able to live our lives in a manner consistent with our spiritual purpose.

Seeding Specific Realities for Healing, Creativity and More

We are able to seed specific realities for special purposes in our future. For example, if we have a physical challenge we’re working with, we can seed potential healing options and in time choose the possible future where the best healing solution exists. This is particularly useful because the best course of healing is not necessarily revealed to us as we seed various options. As we play an active role in observing and exploring various timelines, we gain insight into the potentials that offer the best healing over time.

This approach is also helpful if we intend to write a novel, work with new art forms, or bring other new realities into being. We are able to plant seeds that create fields of potential for our desired creations that we observe and explore over time. In this way, we are able to energize future timelines most aligned with our desired creations.

Journeys in Consciousness Give Rise to New Universes within Us

When we learn to journey in consciousness, new universes of possibilities are born within us. We’re always free to choose if we will manifest replicas of past realities or if we will shift to become “creative scientists” exploring new realities in consciousness that offer new potentials and alternate futures.

The Space between Realities brings Glimpses of Infinity

As we work with new potentials, we will find ourselves unexpectedly at times entering the space between realities where we glimpse infinity. These glimpses remove us from physical reality for brief seconds, yet in the life of the soul, they are eternal and hold the power to shift our understanding in profound ways at all levels in all-time in what we consider to be past, present, and future.

The Season of Renewal

A Time of Rebirth…

Christmas is a time of celebration in modern society, a time of family gatherings. Yet for many, especially those who live alone, it can be a time of loneliness, a benchmark of remembrance of years past. So take time this Holiday Season, this time of Christmas & Hanukkah, to reach out to others, to express love. Take time in the energy of this solstice to contemplate and meditate. As the Sun completes an annual cycle, find time to meditate and contemplate the rebirth of the planet Earth, and the new role of humanity as co creators as we complete Year One of the New Earth.

The December Solstice has a great effect on all life on the planet earth. It is a time in which gravity waves are embellished and the ‘veil is thinned’. Solstices have been recognized by ancient societies as a special time for inward retrospection, of renewal and rebirth for this reason. The winter solstice is the time when the Sun reaches it’s southernmost rising and setting points in the northern hemisphere with the Suns apex at exact on mid-day. It is a powerful time, far more than many may recognize.

This year, on the December Solstice of 2015, we ‘Citizens of Duality Earth’ are experiencing one of the most powerful energy intensities of the entire year. And that is a great consideration, considering that 2015 has been a year of great intensity within ‘Crucible Astrology’ patterning.

Because of the solstice’s potent effect on the human psyche, emotional fields and indeed the human aura, it is a time of not only external ceremony with societal connection to the major holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and New Years, but it is also an intense resonance of deep refection.

It is a factual note, that according to ancient writings and calendars, December 25th was the date of the solstice, before modern adjustments of dates to the calendar were made.

December 25th as Christ’s birthday makes its way into a “calendar” or chronology created in 354 AD called the Philocalian Calendar. In addition to listing the 25th of December as the Natalis Invicti, which means “Birth of the Unconquered (Sun),” the Calendar also names the day as that of ‘Natus Christus in Betleem Iudeae ‘ translated to “Birth of Christ in Bethlehem Judea.”

Hence, we can see that people of the fourth century were clearly aware of the association, if not identification, of Christ with the sun, as they had been in Cyprian’s time and earlier, since Jesus is proclaimed to be the “Sun of Righteousness” in the Old Testament book of Malachi (4:2). The spelling of SUN as the Christ source of light is most interesting. Christmas marks the birth of Christ, and it is celebrated by Christians around the world. But this holiday has close ties to an older festival known as the “Unconquered Sun.”

The impact this Pagan tradition had on how Christmas was celebrated is one of the ways in which The Christian tradition changed as it developed through the ages. December 25th was the date of the winter solstice in the calendar Julius Caesar devised for Rome in 46BC. Today the winter solstice usually occurs on December 21st. Although Caesar used a 365 1/4 day year, a year is actually a little shorter, and this made the solstice occur a little earlier over the years. There was a discrepancy of 1 day in 128 years.

The pagans & Ancient Egyptians celebrated the winter solstice as the Unconquered or Invincible Sun. because after the winter solstice, the Sun would begin to stay in the sky longer each day, and there would be less cold, and less night; the Sun would win the battle of night and day. There would be feasts, evergreens would be brought into the house to be decorated and lighted with candles to pay tribute to the Sun.

Over the past few decades, many people have come to understand that “December 25th” represents not the birthday of a “historical” savior named Jesus Christ but the time of the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, when the day begins to become longer than the night, and the sun is said to be “born again,” “renewed” & “resurrected.”

It is a time of renewal!
