Astral Travel

Recently I was asked about astral travel, and frankly, I haven't given it any thought. Recently...I suggested to 'try' astral travel, simply meditate and shoot yourself into space, then land where it is you want to go, say, Australia.
And, if you are in Church, then that's the best place to try it.
I realized it may be more complicated than that, but if I want to go somewhere, it is 'mental traveling' which is common to all of us. and if I want to channel something, I often call upon spirits to guide me, or I journey in the shamanic way. Usually, I have enough distress just going thru my reality day without talking off for the wild blue yonder, but truly, we mental travel all the time, and astral travel is actually a little different. Astral travel is when you seem to teleported to another place or time and others see you, too. For instance, somebody who walks by you every day, comes once and then comes again, and you think, didn't I just see you a few moments ago?



They look at you like you're crazy, and yes, you are. What happened is they astral traveled into that space, out of routine, and you saw an apparition of them.

very spooky, try it sometime, and see if you come before you come....LOL

Horoscope de China...

The Origin of Chinese Horoscopes was based on the legend which in the sixth century B.C. the Jade Emperor invited all the animals in creation to a race, only twelve showed up: the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Lamb, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig, and according to their places in the race, the Jade Emperor had given them each a number starting with the Rat who was the winner of the race. Since rat is the winner, rat is the first symbol of Chinese zodiac sign.

The twelve animals became the symbols of Chinese astrology and they symbolize every year which complete the Chinese horoscopes of every 12 years. Since then, the Chinese horoscope has been in use in the Orient for thousands of years, and it is still consulted by millions of people on a daily basis. Its twelve animal signs are similar to the twelve signs of the Western Zodiac, but are determined by the year you were born rather than the month.

In this Chinese horoscope, it involves Chinese astrology that based on the lunar cycle which takes 12 years to complete. It includes also the five elements such as metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. This serves as the modifiers that subtle the nature of whatever they represent. And for balancing all the elements and all forces in the universe, the term Yin and Yang is responsible.

Here are the 12 animals that serve as symbols of Chinese Horoscopes which represent every year. The first one is the Rat was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is an animal associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. This powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. The Tiger is associated with good fortune, power, and royalty, is viewed with both fear and respect. Their protection and wisdom is sought after. The Rabbit is the fourth symbol which make ideal diplomats or politicians.

The 4 Laws of Energetic Attraction

Dr. Orloff - Monday, October 10, 2011

Are you longing for relationships that do your heart good and generate stronger connections? In my book, Positive Energy I discuss how to radically improve your health and relationships by bringing positive people and situations into your life. Knowing about energy can transform your ability to build positive relationships, prevent loneliness and ward off fatigue. By making the energetic shifts described here, you can draw good things to you.

Law No. 1: We attract who we are.

The more positive energy we give off, the more we’ll receive. Ditto for negativity. It works like this: Love attracts love. Grumpiness attracts grumpiness. Passion attracts passion. Rage attracts rage.

First, define what being positive does and doesn’t mean for you in terms of attitude and behavior. Don’t worry if you’re far from a positive place. It’s an evolution. Give thought to what you value most in yourself or other. You can then strengthen these traits in yourself, and attract the same.

The idea is to find reciprocally nourishing interactions, not to win a popularity contest. (Of course, it feels good to be liked. But I’ve seen this need turn into addiction.) The following exercise will help you boost your positive signals.

Identify your best qualities and project them to the world. Before meeting new people or going to important events, prime yourself. Think, “I’m not going to focus on my insecurity but on a strength like my sensitivity, compassion or humor; I’m going to feel and trust the positive energy inside me. I’m going to claim my full power.” Such selective attention puts your best parts front and center.

Law No. 2: Intuition clarifies smart choices.

Relationships are tricky; they can be a big blur even when your eyes are open. We’ve learned to draw conclusions from surface data: how nice someone seems, looks or is educated, or how a situation adds up on paper. But attraction goes deeper; to make it work for you, other ingredients must be considered. Respect your intuitions about relationships and identify those that highlight compatible matches.

What may obscure the picture is anxiety or intense sexual attraction. If so, go slow until you get a keener intuitive read. In my book, Positive Energy I give exercises to help train you to act from instinct, not impulse.

Tune in. Choose a relationship or situation that needs clarification – perhaps you’re confused about a friendship or vacation. Run it by your intuition criteria: Do you feel troubled and nervous or energized and safe?

Act on vibes. Insecurity, ego, lust or stubbornness can obscure your better judgment. If a person feels positive, explore the possibilities. If the vibes are mixed, take a pass or at least wait. If all you sense is negative, have the courage to walk away, no matter how tempting the option seems. Then observe how listening to energy in this way leads you to the juiciest opportunities.

Law No. 3: Seeing the best in people magnetizes them.

Instead of reflexively accentuating the worst in a person or situation, choose to energize positive qualities. The object isn’t to flatter, make nice, be politically correct or ignore intuitive red flags – nor to deny someone’s dark side or placate abusers. Your goal is to mine the gold in positive relationships and elevate the communication in more difficult ones.

We want to have the goodness in us acknowledges. If you want to connect with someone, notice his or her assets. Let’s say a co-worker is snitty. Realize that happy people don’t act this way. So instead of being snitty back or constantly miffed, redirect the energy. Comment on the long hours she puts in, or her dynamite shoes. Use this approach for a week – as well as the ones below – and watch the vibes change.

Tell at least two people you love what you’re grateful for about them.

Tell at least two people you don’t love what you’re grateful for about them.

Adjust your perception. Spend an afternoon noticing the positive qualities of everyone you meet.

Praise other people’s abilities.

Law No. 4: Soulful giving generates abundance.

Giving is supposed to feel good; if not, something’s wrong. Soulful giving enlarges your capacity to be more caring – you give for the joy of it, expecting nothing in return. In contrast, codependent giving bleeds life force; it’s driven by obligation, guilt or a martyr-complex, and it leaves the giver feeling sucked dry, unappreciated and put upon.

You want to give for reasons that energize you, not because you’re taking inappropriate responsibility for others. The following strategies will generate bountiful vibes for you and the receiver. If you give from your heart, your vitality will soar.

Give spontaneously. Any time is right to offer simple tokens of appreciation to friends or colleagues; a candle, rose, small plant, fragrant soap or funny card.

Give anonymously. Walk an old lady across the street; hold open an elevator; let a car go before you in traffic; or do something nice behind the scenes for someone, but don’t get found out. Such good deeds add light to your energy field and ultimately draw the same goodness back to you. As a 14-year-old friend told me, “The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer up someone else.”

Use these “laws” to mobilize excellence and kindness in your relationships. Emphatically say “no” to anything that doesn’t further the heart. Cheer each success. Don’t cheat your joy by jumping too quickly to the next ambition. Instead, pledge to value even the tiniest of triumphs. That’s what the art of positive living is about.

Samhain...

Samhain, or Sowhaim or Hallow's Eve or Day of the Dead of the creepy curtain that is October into November where the Spirits rise....Boo!

Gaelic harvest festival held on October 31–November 1. It was linked to festivals held around the same time in other Celtic cultures, and was popularised as the "Celtic New Year" from the late 19th century, following Sir John Rhys and Sir James Frazer.^[2] The date of Samhain was associated with the Catholic All Saints' Day (and later All Souls' Day) from at least the 8th century, and both the secular Gaelic and the Catholic liturgical festival have influenced the secular customs now connected with Halloween.^[3]

The medieval Goidelic festival of Samhain marked the end of the harvest, the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half". It was celebrated over the course of several days and had some elements of a Festival of the Dead. 

Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. People and their livestock would often walk between two bonfires as a cleansing ritual, and the bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.^[4]

Samhain is celebrated as a religious festival by some neopagans.^[5]

Transmission of Light: The Pituitary Dimensional Attunement

A Hathor Planetary Message Through Tom Kenyon

From our perspective the ascension process can be viewed as two converging energetic streams.

The first involves your KA body, your subtle energy body (i.e. your etheric twin or spiritual double). Any method that raises the vibratory rate of the KA is a method for ascension.

The second stream involves the physical body and the transformation of matter into light. The complete metamorphosis of matter into light is a very advanced form of ascension, and is generally only seen in highly developed Initiates.

However, the seed forms of this metamorphosis can, and do, present themselves in various stages of the ascension process.

The sound meditation we wish to share with you is a vehicle to increase the inflow of spiritual light (i.e. interdimensional light,) into your endocrine system. During the ascension process the hormones that comprise your biological sea and the inner realities of your body go through a refinement. This sound meditation is a gentle yet potent means to facilitate this upward movement.

The Meditation

We wish to share two methods for working with this Attunement.

The first is for beginners, those of you who are unfamiliar with the inner realms of your own consciousness. The second method is for those of you who are more advanced.

Both of these methods work quite well. Recognize where you are in your own development and choose accordingly.

The First Method

In this approach you simply place your focused attention in the area of your pituitary gland, the master regulator of your endocrine system. As with all of the previous Dimensional Attunements we have given, the sounds you will hear are analogs of fluctuations in the light realms, and they will create a movement of energies in the pituitary, so long as you hold your attention in the general area of the pituitary gland. This area is located approximately one inch (or 2cm) behind the bridge of the nose.

This general area is all that you need to focus on. It is not necessary to be exact. Simply resting your awareness in the area will accomplish the task. The operative word here is “rest" your awareness. This is not concentration. You simply rest your attention in the area of the pituitary gland and allow the sounds you hear to affect the area. When your mind wanders, simply bring it back to focused attention on the pituitary.

The Second Method

For those of you more familiar with your inner realms, we suggest you imagine that the area of your pituitary gland is a white lotus flower floating on a still and infinite body of pure water. This mental impression shifts your brain/mind into a highly receptive state and generates a quality of consciousness that is very helpful to this particular type of transformational work. We suggest the white lotus because all colors and all frequencies are held within it. You can imagine this lotus as a partially or fully opened blossom, or if you prefer, you can imagine it as a closed bud.

Hold the mental impression of this white lotus in the area of your pituitary gland, and as with the first method, when your mind wanders, bring it back to the lotus and the area of your pituitary.

Whether you use the first method or the second, the catalytic sounds will cause a movement of subtle energies within the pituitary creating a cascade of energetic effects throughout all of the glands that comprise your endocrine system. As you continue to experience this Attunement, you will become more familiar with its subtle and potent effects.

We suggest that before you begin, you spend a few moments separating yourself from the concerns of your daily life. Draw a line between this short meditation and the rest of your life. The meditation is approximately five minutes long, and after you are done listening to it, we suggest you spend a few moments in silence, sensing the area of your pituitary. If you are energetically sensitive and aware, you can feel the subtle effects in all of your glands.

 As we said previously, this Attunement is subtle, yet potent. And this odd paradox is based upon an intricate relationship between matter and energy.

As you move into the more subtle levels of matter (i.e. sub-atomic particles) there is more potential energy. Likewise, as you move into the more subtle levels of your own consciousness there is also an increase in energy (i.e. the powers of consciousness).

The patterns that comprise this Attunement are precise and they form complex relationships in the subtle realms of consciousness.

Do not be deceived by its simplicity. This Attunement is a potent transformer of consciousness.

We therefore suggest that you experiment and find your own comfort zone with this particular Attunement.

When you generate an increase of light-flows within the pituitary gland and the endocrine system, you release a potent and powerful purification. Each of you has your own comfort zone in this.

For some of you, listening to the Attunement once a day will be all you can comfortably handle. Others may feel drawn to listen to it multiple times.

As you proceed to listen to this Attunement on a regular basis, you will find your energetic nesting or comfort zone expanding, and you will be able to listen to it multiple times. But the guiding principle is your comfort zone.

If you listen to this Attunement too often for your own energetic reality, you will know that you have crossed the line. You will recognize that you are releasing more energies within you than you are comfortable dealing with. The simple fact is that as the glands comprising your endocrine system receive fluctuations of light, via the pituitary gland, they release inhibiting patterns of energy and consciousness.

The only guideline here is to proceed in a manner that is comfortable to you. Those of you who are more warrior-like in your nature can push the river, so to speak. But do realize that you are greatly accelerating the energetic transformation of your endocrine system. And if your perception, your thoughts and feelings, speed up too much, then slow down. Listen to the Attunement less often and find your comfort zone.

Transmissions of Light

The World Meditation on 11/11/11

For those of you who choose to join us energetically, wherever you are, during the World Meditation on November 11, 2011, we ask that you work with this Attunement on a regular basis. The more familiar you are with this Attunement, and the more comfortable you are with its subtle effects, the more you will gain from the World Meditation when it takes place.

During this World Meditation, the Attunement sequence will be repeated seven times for the group gathered in Seattle for this event. They will be holding the physical focus for this World Meditation, but the energetic of the Meditation, as well as the three-day gathering in Seattle, will transcend both time and space.  In other words, you can enter into profound states of inner awareness during the event, regardless of where you might physically be.

Dates and Times

The actual World Meditation, itself, will run from 9 pm until 10 pm September 11^th PST. (Note: This is 5 am – 6 am  Saturday, November 12, GMT.)

If you choose to ride the energetic during this specific hour-long meditation, we suggest you listen to the Attunement seven times and then sit in silence for twenty to thirty minutes with your attention in the area of your pituitary. If possible, we suggest that you then lie down and rest.

The transformational energies around this Meditation will extend for a three-day period, which will begin at 7 pm on September 11^th PST and continue until September 13^th at 4 pm, PST.  Meditation on the Pituitary Dimensional Attunement will be particularly potent during this time period. (To find your time corollary go to www.timeandate.com)

We are releasing this Pituitary Dimensional Attunement at a propitious and precarious time in the ascent of human consciousness.  We do so with the hopes that it will assist you to reclaim your sovereign will as co-creators.  It is also our view that this particular Attunement will serve you as a transformational tool for many years into your future.

Of all the Dimensional Attunements we have given, this one is our most treasured.

During its creation, this Attunement was birthed from, and infused with, transformational energies from the 5^th through the 12^th dimensions of our interdimensional reality.

By its very nature, this Attunement carries a subtle yet potent evolutionary energy. Many of you will use this Attunement to more clearly see the mystery of how you co-create your realities. And as the veils that separate physical reality from subtle realities part, you will awaken to a new vision of yourself, as well as a new understanding of your place in the cosmos.

Tom's Thoughts and Observations

It is best if you listen to this particular Attunement with stereo headphones. This is due to the fact that the stereo sound patterns of this audio recoding create complex moving vortices of subtle energy. And these vortices rotate and spin wherever you place your focus of attention.  If you choose to listen to the Attunement without stereo headphones, it would help to separate your left and right speakers so that you get more of the stereo effect.

Do not listen to this Attunement while driving a car or in situations requiring your full attention.

I have worked with the Attunement using both the first and more advanced method the Hathors mentioned. And as they said, both methods work quite well.

These methods are self-explanatory, except for one detail regarding the white lotus method. When you imagine “a white lotus flower floating on a still and infinite body of pure water,” imagine the lotus and the body of water in those ways that feel comfortable to you.  In other words, this is not a visualization exercise. If you tend to visualize things in your mind’s eye, then you might very well have a visual impression of the lotus and the water. But if you don’t tend to visualize things, then you will experience the lotus and the water in the sensory modality you are most comfortable with.

I can personally attest to the subtle potency of this Attunement. And based upon my own personal experience with it, I agree with the Hathors’ repeated suggestion to find our comfort zones. This little sound piece can, indeed, generate a subtle energetic purification.

My impression, having worked with this Attunement for a while, is that it unquestionably generates moving vortices of subtle energy in my pituitary gland. And from here, these subtle energies spontaneously move throughout my endocrine system.

The Attunement generally has a calming, nurturing and deeply restorative quality. But if I listen to it for too long, it creates a purification action. In this case, I feel like I am on edge and irritated. This tells me that I have crossed the line out of my comfort zone, or as the Hathors say—my energetic nesting.

Whenever I listen to this Attunement, I feel as if I am opening myself to the enlivening qualities of interdimensional light.  I have also observed that these enlivening energies sometimes stir things up inside me. And when this occurs, I think of it as internal house cleaning. I don’t stop cleaning just because some “dust” is in the air.  I just pace myself.  And I strive to be patient because, after all, there are many rooms in my inner house and a lot of them are in need of cleaning.

I have found, and continue to find, this Attunement to be deeply transformative.

I also find it most fascinating to explore the interface between consciousness and matter, specifically my consciousness and the matter that comprises my body. I sense immense opportunities within this Attunement for self-exploration and self-discovery.

This Attunement is, in my opinion, an elegant and exquisite vessel for exploring some of the depths that reside within us.

And in that vein I wish you, my fellow Argonauts of the Mind, deep and rewarding journeys.

Making it Memorable: 7 Tips to Memorizing Your Speech or Set

Making it Memorable: 7 Tips to Memorizing Your Speech or Set

It's not so cool to have notes these days, since everybody wants to look like their words of wisdom and hilarious observations just fly off the top of their head.  Reality shows have become popular because people like the illusion that whomever they're watching is showing who they really are, not just reading from a script.  And those same viewers have come to expect more spontaneity from speakers and entertainers.  But it's really hard to be spontaneous and in the moment -- to really connect with your audience -- if you're constantly glancing at some piece of paper to know what to say next. 

When you have your act memorized so well that it's second nature, it frees you to make more eye contact, to read your audience better, and to notice subtleties about what's going on around.  That kind of relaxed awareness helps you really connect, because instead of just reading - you're communicating.

A lot of comics have trouble memorizing a longer set, so here's seven tips:

  

1.  Start with an outline.  Write out your set list, and practice taking a quick look and then running through each joke (from setup to laugh).

2.  Know what comes next.  The hardest part in memorizing a long set isn't so much remembering the jokes, as knowing WHICH joke comes after the one you just finished.  If you arrange items in a natural flow, and give code words that you can remember easily to each joke or chunk, it helps to navigate from joke to joke.

For example, my set list might be: Swedish Jokes, Political, Jewish, etc.  Each code word reminds me of a chunk where I know the joke well.  After I've broken it down into ten code words, I just have ten things to memorize, and I can find a natural association between them.  (Swedish people can be political but few are Jewish.  Two or three sentences like that are a lot easier to memorize than a few pages in a notebook!)

3.  Talk it and walk it.  Comedians stand up --- literally - partly because studies have shown the brain works faster and more efficiently when you're on your feet.  So instead of reading jokes off of a computer screen, I find taking walks and practicing my routine out loud really helps.  If you run through your routine out loud 20 times on a walk, you'll know it.  (I like to have my Bluetooth headset in one ear so my neighbors don't think I have an imaginary friend.)

4.  Have a backup.  Even when you have your act memorized forwards and backwards, most of us will always have a little twinge of fear that we could forget what's next under the nervous pressure of being in front of a packed house - especially if a joke falls flat.

Having your list of code words as a trigger on an index card in your pocket, scrawled on your hand, or on the screen of your iPhone can make you relax a little and focus more on your audience.  And if you DO have a lapse, think of a clever way to take a peek without tipping everyone off, or getting a laugh out of it when you do.  ("Swedish, Political, Jewish, Wash left hand.")

5.  Let it go.  I always feel that if I forget something, then that just means I wasn't meant do it.  Being on stage is a heightened experience, and you intuitively know what will and won't work.

Sometimes forcing things in the order you planned them is not the best flow, and you have to toss out the order you planned and live in the moment by pressing ahead.  If you keep forgetting a joke ... it probably wasn't funny enough to be worth remembering.

6.  Use your sense memory.  Sometimes I plan to perform chunks of material on different portions of the stage.  When I move to a different spot, it triggers my memory that this physical place is also the place in my act where I do a certain bit.  My body helps my brain remember.

7.  Don't sigh - breathe!  Finally -- if you go blank, here's something that always works:  Take a deep breath in and out without any words.  This will relax you -- and your act will come back to you.  I've never had this fail, and that extra oxygen might even supercharge your brain to riff out a few NEW jokes even better than what you planned!
