INTRODUCTION
Welcome. I am Norma Gentile, and you are listening
to a Meditation for Renewal. If you haven't already
done so, find a comfortable space where you can lie
down and be at rest, undisturbed, for about an
hour. We begin as many of my meditations do, by
creating Sacred Space. This is a way of consciously
defining and stepping into a Sacred quality of
consciousness, apart from our day-to-day lives. I
will also use songs throughout the meditation to
deepen into the experience of inner rest and
stillness. This helps you create space to embrace
what your Soul sees as useful for your next step.
Let's begin.
CREATING SACRED SPACE
To define and step into a
Sacred quality of consciousness, apart from
day-to-day life.
Turning our awareness to the Nature Spirits of the
room and land beneath that vibrate at what they
consider to be unconditional love.
Magnifying our connection
with the Pure Energy of Nature
All things in form spring
from this quality of energy, which Nature Spirits
call 'Grandmother'.
Welcoming a conscious
connection with Archangel Michael into the sphere
that surrounds the room. Michael assists all
energies in getting to where they need to go
to.
THOUGHTS ON THE HEALING
PROCESS
Releasing energies to Archangel Michael (or
engaging in any healing process) isn't about making
something happen, it is about allowing something to
happen by releasing our control over it.
There is a consciousness within all energies. As
humans we have a hard time recognizing that an
energy or emotion that we feel is heavy or
difficult or that makes us feel bad is
fundamentally just an energy. Which means there is
a consciousness to it. How it makes us feel is
simply our reaction to it. There is a consciousness
within the energy that knows where it needs to go
to and how it needs to get there. We don't need to
fix the energy or worry about it!
When we honor this, Archangel Michael (or the
energies of any healing guide/angel) have a greater
capacity to work easily with us.
Asking what one guide or angel or connection to
your Higher Self your body and Soul desire to be
present during this meditation. Put a question mark
out about 8 inches behind your Heart Chakra and
ask, don't tell. This is a place where your Higher
Self sits, and guides and angels often connect with
you here as well. I trust that the guide, angel or
connection to Higher Self that is most useful for
you is present now during this
meditation.
CYCLES OF CREATION
The concept of renewal often begins with a sense of
having a blank slate as a starting point. But the
reality is that there are constantly creative
cycles starting and ending that are going on. Think
of it as a wheel, somewhat like the old-fashioned
wheel that would be turned by water in a flowing
river. Half the wheel is above the water, half is
below. A cycle of creation in the same. Half or
more of the cycle is not visible to humanity. It is
not until the cycle comes into form that we can see
it.
So in terms of paradigm shifts, in terms of what we
are going through right now in the world, we are
allowing form to change, but only because there has
been so much energetic work before this change. And
after the change has arrived into form there will
be additional energetic work to let it continue to
transform.
Nothing is stagnant, not even form that appears to
us as new. Our consciousness is changing rapidly,
and the form around us in the world must also adapt
and change each day. We can no longer find
stability in the sameness of things. We can only
find stability inside of ourselves.
The spiritual tradition of mysticism that I studied
included the idea that Spiritual energies needed at
least two cycles before they could come into form.
There would be very long periods where energies and
ideas sat within people's consciousness and
unconsciousness before it pops into the place where
we feel like we can move forward and take action.
'Oh yes, I can do that now!' 'Yes, I want to do
that now.'
When we look at New Year's Day or New Year's Eve or
any time when we mark the beginning or end of
something (Full Moon or New Moon), as humans we
have a tendency to just look at the form, and think
'this is a blank slate now…we start clean and
new!' The reality of course is that we are carrying
all the existing energies into this new time. This
is a time to remember that as humans we impact form
by choosing what we give our attention to, as well
as choosing the quality of our attention.
So on this New Year's Day, or beginning day of
renewal, we carry with us all that is coming from
the past, but we have an opportunity in this
meditation what isn't ours and what we do not need
to carry into the future.
One way we do that is by looking at the Navel
Chakra &endash; the unsung hero!
SONG: Delving Deep (voice and bowl)
And breathe as if you could
breathe from your lower back. Let your back feel
the support from the bed, chair or couch.
Bringing awareness into the Navel Chakra allows us
to have a more complete experience of the Spiritual
energies, including telepathic information. that
our Soul is giving us through the lower chakras.
This information tells us that there is stability
and consistency. That there are energies that
continue for millennia. And that what we might be
noticing is short term.
Continue to bring your awareness into your navel.
Let your navel area feel the expansion in front and
in back as you breathe. As you expand into that
space behind your navel, feel the support from the
bed, couch or chair. I am wondering now how your
Soul wants to connect into your Navel Chakra. How
does your Soul want to connect into your Navel
Chakra now? How does your body want to be supported
by your Soul? Don't try to make a color or a
texture. Just allow your Soul to support your
Navel.
OUR LOWER CHAKRAS FOLLOW LARGER
CREATIVE CYCLES
We plan to do so many things in life. Most of these
plans come directly from our brains. We seldom
consult our body! Yet it is our body's telepathic
lower chakras that inform us of what is happening
in the physical world, and what choices are
available to us. When we don't listen to our lower
body chakras, we put things on our agenda to do,
and then we can't get them done! And certainly this
last year has taught us that having an agenda
doesn't really mean anything. Our human
(brain-derived) agendas simply did not happen.
But there are larger cycles that we can follow and
feel, especially in our low body. Using the low
body as a barometer we can feel a profound sense of
stability within the Earth &endash; an energy that
I call the Pure Energy of Nature. It arises from
within the Earth and is present within everything
that is in form. Connecting into the Pure Energy of
Nature brings us a sense of stillness, but not
stuckness. This connection, which is innate within
our body, allows us to find and feel the essence of
ourselves that never changes. This is the essence
of ourselves that continues throughout
millennia.
How does the essence of who you are express now
through your physical body? How does the essence of
who you are want to express through your body now?
This allows energies from your low body to move up
through your heart, where they are colored by what
you love and what you like. Then they eventually
arrive at your head, where, with a little luck,
your mind is in listening, rather than telling
mode. In listening mode the mind hears what the
body is suggesting. And it hears from the heart
what is liked and loved. Only then does it choose
what to focus upon.
Doing something just because it is on the agenda
(as a linear next step) often depletes our energies
because it is not a Spiritual next step. Spirit
creates in a spiral pattern, not a linear pattern.
Our brain, however, loves linear patterns. And it
loves to decide what is good or bad. Spirit, on the
other hand, knows there is no good or bad. Those of
us who have been in form for a while recognize
there is no good or bad. There is comfortable and
uncomfortable.
Allow yourself to find that space within that is
neither good nor bad. This space simply is. Looking
into second chakra, slightly underneath that navel
area. Second chakra, throat and the knee chakras
&endash; this is where our Soul loves to help our
body feel comfort. As we tune the throat, second
chakra and knee chakras to the level of comfort our
Soul wants our body to have now, life becomes a bit
easier.
Tune into whatever of these areas is most prominent
in your awareness, and ask it how it wants to feel.
Don't' tell it, ask it. How does your Soul want to
step through your body and support your body? What
is the level of comfort that your Soul legally
incarnating right now wants for your body to have?
Release all those energies that are not yours.
These energies feel sticky, heavy or full of static
and can be freed up to go home through Archangel
Michael. By freeing them up and allowing them to go
home, we are also allowing them to change, to grow,
and to evolve. Allow your Soul to determine the
level of ease and comfort for your body now. And
this process will continue for a bit.
OPENIGN YOUR ENERGY BODY TO DEEPER HEALING
Moving our focus down to first chakra and
grounding.
In Western culture we think about Spiritual healing
as coming from up above, from Heaven. And these
energies can be magnified by going down first.
Clearing and resetting the lower chakras allows our
body to have a complete flow of the energetic river
from up above the head to down below the feet. And
when that river flows completely, all the way up
and down so it moves easily, then we can access
more energies.
When the lower portion of our chakra system is
closed, we can only bring in a limited quantity of
energy before our entire energy system fills. Our
First Chakra balloons out, full of energy, but
unable to release it into the Earth. When there is
no place for the energetic river to flow to, it
just stops. That is why we get a lot of issues like
bloating in the abdomen.
I don't know about you, but I was never taught that
putting my feet on the ground and letting my feet
feel the ground (or the carpet or the floor) was a
good thing. I was taught to put on my shoes each
morning and get moving! In retrospect, this is a
perfect way to have a child or adult constantly
spring out of their body.
By taking a moment each day to let your feet and
lower body chakras plug into the Earth, you are
opening the lower portion of the energetic river so
your system won't overfill...it will simply open.
That is what we call grounding. As a result you
will be able to have a larger and more consistent
flow of energy all the way down and all the way up
through your chakra system. Our bodies are conduits
for Heaven to talk with Earth, and for Earth to
speak with Heaven.
Allow yourself to feel your breath. Let the breath
be a normal size breath. Let the lowest portion of
your torso feel how it wants to be supported by
your Soul. This support can come through the
ovaries or testicles. How does your body want to
receive your Soul? As your body and Soul embrace
each other, there simply isn't room for those
energies that are not yours. Let these energies go
through Archangel Michael to go home, so that they
can continue to learn, grow and evolve.
SONG Opening the River (voice
and bowl)
CLEAIRNG YOUR PELVIS
As the lower chakras reflect more of who you are,
other systems of energies begin to awaken. One of
those systems is the system we call Kundalini. This
awakening need not be a harsh experience. It is
simply your life-force awakening, and having a
stretch. It is tuned to you and no one else. It is
a unique result of your Soul and body embracing
each other. It is a reflection of all of the lives
that you have lived within this reality.
Allowing the first chakra to reflect your Soul
legally incarnating, into your physical body. Allow
those energies that recognize they are not in tune
with you to ease on out. They can go home.
Therefore, allowing your legs, your lower body,
that energetic system we call 'grounding' to also
reflect that quality of energy that your Soul and
body want to create together. As your Soul embraces
into your body, it wants to create something unique
for you and unique to this moment.
Welcoming your legally incarnating Soul to step
through the grounding energy. Letting your low body
generate the quality of energy your body and Soul
want to create together in your life. Letting this
energy drop down your thighs into your knees.
Letting it fill the space behind your knees, the
backside of your knee chakras, where we hold a lot
of habitual tension. Again, this is often related
to not allowing our journey in this life to be as
easy, flowing and comfortable as our Soul wants our
journey to be. As we recognize this, we can release
the habitual tension and related energy patterns.
This let's our knees feel the sense of ease and
comfort that our Soul wants for our body to have
now.
This allows for the flow of energy to open, so the
energy can move from your pelvis into your thighs
and knees and down into your calf muscles, into
your ankles and feet and even the feet chakras. How
do all the multitude of feet chakras want to feel?
How does your body want to plug itself into all
those Spiritual energies within the Earth that
nourish you? Plugging into the Pure Energy of
Nature that nourishes you. Allow your Soul and body
to soak up all that energy.
SONG for Grounding (solo voice)
CLEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S ENERGY GUIDES (LOW
BACK)
As the lower portion of the river and all the
blocks there that are ready to be released have
left, there is a greater flow of energy through
your feet and legs and low body. This allows for a
greater flow of energy in your middle and upper
body.
Feel the space a little bit above your Navel Chakra
where your kidneys and adrenal glands reside.
Again, your Soul can enter through there, releasing
the old patterns, the old ideas - what you thought
was going to happen. Releasing the old guides and
angels that you pulled in, or that people sent you
to help you do whatever it is that they thought you
should be doing, or what you thought you should be
doing because they told you so.
Those guides and angels tend to sit right behind
the low back, and just slightly above that. Letting
these guides and angels move to wherever they need
to be if they no longer reflect your Soul and body
now. Let your kidneys and adrenal glands be
supported by your Soul now. What is the quality of
energy that your body and Soul want to generate
through your kidneys and adrenal glands now?
Letting that fill your body.
Each portion of our body talks to other portions of
our body, and they adjust accordingly. So, as we
have been working primarily in the low body during
this meditation, the information has already passed
through to the upper body.
We are going to look at heart for a moment. Allow
the guide or angel that has been sitting behind the
Heart Chakra to share with you for a moment one
image or idea. Allowing your Soul to step through
Traditional Heart Chakra as well as High Heart
Chakra (thymus gland). Allowing those energies that
your Soul legally incarnating wants to create and
co-create with your body to be available now.
Releasing those things that you thought you should
be doing or you had to do or you ought to do.
Allowing the Traditional Heart Chakra and High
Heart Chakra to reflect whatever it is that your
Soul, legally incarnating, has in mind for you to
do now. What is the new direction, or how might you
continue along as you have been? Releasing the old
guides and angels no longer in tune with your Heart
Chakras. Let your portion of legally incarnating
Soul re-tune the energies of the High Heart Chakra.
What does your Soul want to do now, and how does
that happen through your physical body
now?
CLEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S GUIDES (THROAT)
Allowing this same process to happen around your
throat; here lies the thyroid gland which creates
the Fifth Chakra. Again, releasing especially from
behind your neck those guides and angels that don't
reflect your Soul's journey now or who you are now.
Letting them release and move through Archangel
Michael to go home. Releasing, so that your thyroid
gland can generate the quality of energies your
Soul and body want now. What is useful in your life
now?
CLEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S GUIDES (NECK - HEAD)
There is a space in our head and neck region that a
lot of people know because of the amount of tension
we hold there. It isn't a place we can touch, but
if you stick your fingers in your ears and draw a
line straight through your head, it is there in the
center of your head. Sometimes you will feel the
tension as being just a tiny bit lower, or towards
the front or back of the head. There are several
glands nearby that generate large fields of
Spiritual energy, including pineal and hypothalamus
glands. Our body and Soul create a tension pattern
here when we try to do what isn't ours to do or be
who we really aren't.
When we look at the outer world through our Third
Eye (related to the pituitary gland that sits
behind our physical eyes) we see images and
pictures from both our outer world, our guides and
angels, and from other people. One type of image
that we see is what psychic teacher and author John
Friedlander calls 'perfect pictures'. These images
are ideals, they are not really achievable. They
are perhaps a goal, but usually they are too bright
and shiny and glossy for us to attain…we will
never ever be that perfect! When we use an
unrealistic image as a goal, we will always
fail.
This is why so many people become discouraged when
setting and working towards goals. And why my
guides talk about looking for the next step on a
staircase, pointing out that it is improbable and
unhealthy for our physical bodies to leap up an
entire flight of stairs. We are here to have
experiences which can be shared with the greater
Spiritual realm. Being perfect is something we have
already achieved in that realm. Here we are meant
to be imperfect and share the deeper understandings
that each small step brings us.
Our Third Eye (pituitary gland) receives all sorts
of different energy pictures. These images come
from the world around us, from spiritual helpers,
and from other people. We see the energy pictures
that other people send us (or that we draw to
ourselves) in order to achieve the ideals in the
pictures. We can become wealthy, we can become
skinny, we can somehow miraculously get everything
done in a day that we need to get done and still
get eight hours of sleep, have great sex and cook
our own organic meals! At least that is what these
'perfect pictures' tell us.
UPDATING YOUR LIFE PLANS (AND THE GUIDES/ANGELS TO
HELP YOU)
If you have been able to work from home this past
year, your life may have been easier but it may
have been crazier. If you are a health care worker,
I am sure that you have come to the end of it all
at least once by now. Taking care of ourselves when
we are taking care of others leads to something
known as 'compassion fatigue'. This happens when we
can't get away, when we don't have respite and when
we don't have a time to come into a deep space of
silence and stillness where we can renew. We renew
by building those energies that truly belong to us,
and are therefore able to differentiate our
energies from the energies of others around us.
This takes a bit of practice.
Tension patterns build up in our body when we don't
know the difference between us and everyone
else…or our guides and other people's guides,
or even guides and angels that helped us a few days
or few years ago that are no longer helpful because
where we thought we were going to be by now has
changed.
What we thought was a linear line became a spiral.
We are still moving, but we are moving in a spiral
pattern, not in a direct line. So the guides and
angels that helped us yesterday, because we are
moving along on a spiral, are not necessarily
exactly the same guides and angels that can help us
today. Or at least not the exact same versions of
the guides and angels.
Think of it as computer software &endash; we have
10.1, 10.2, 10.3…so each day your guides and
angels can do the same thing. You just need to ask
them to shift a little bit to accommodate the
external changes as well as your internal changes
as you move along the spiral.
I mention this in hopes of freeing up some of the
energies that might be locked in around the first,
second or third cervical and near the hypothalamus,
right in the center of your head. These tension
patterns occur when our brain insists on following
the linear instead of the spiral path. It is
appropriate to release those guides and angels that
were helping us to follow a path that no longer
exists, and a way of living that no longer exists.
As we do so we allow the new guides, the new angels
that reflect your Soul legally incarnating as well
as your body to step forward.
Allowing those guides and angels that support your
body to step forward. Letting them create and
generate the quality of energy between your ears
that fits now. How does your body want to be
supported by your Soul now? Allowing that to move
all the way through the head, through the pituitary
and pineal glands as well. Honoring now all the
changes that have been made throughout the body.
SONG Onward (voice and
bowl)
RELEASING SACRED SPACE
Feel your body and how it is supported now by the
couch, the chair or the bed you are lying on. Bring
your awareness back into the room. We release
ourselves from Sacred Space in the same way we
began.
Thanking and releasing the aspect of Archangel
Michael that has been supporting and working with
us throughout the meditation. Letting Michael
release out of the upper and lower dimensions.
Letting the aspect of Michael's energy that fits
you now, with all the changes made during the
meditation, step back into relationship with you in
whatever way is appropriate now. I thank and
release my own conscious connection to Archangel
Michael at your end.
Feel now the room or space around you. We begin
with the Nature Spirits of the room. Anything from
the meditation that they can cleanse within
themselves, the room or the sphere letting them
clear and clean those energies now. Releasing them
from holding the sphere and releasing our conscious
connection to them.
In the land beneath, those Nature Spirits vibrating
at unconditional love, we ask to clear and cleanse
themselves, the lower portion of the sphere and the
land beneath. We thank and release them from
holding the sphere and release our conscious
magnified connection to them.
And the Pure Energy of Nature. We always have some
connection to the Pure Energy of Nature. We release
the magnified quality of this connection now.
Thanking and releasing this magnified connection
now, allowing whatever appropriate connection
continue. We are always connected to this quality
of energy, and can return to this magnified
connection whenever we choose.
Thanking and Releasing as well that conscious (and
again) magnified connection that has been sitting
with you. Letting your innate connection to that
guide or angel be released knowing you can always
come back another time. For right now that space
behind your heart will return to support your
physical body and its return to breathing and
functioning as a human being. Letting your Higher
Self return to the space behind your Heart
Chakra.
And I thank and release my own conscious connection
to all of your energies. I thank you all for being
present today. May this time of renewal allow for
new insights and possibilities; new ways of
perceiving the Spiritual Path of Spirit that is
laid before each of us. Namaste
