A strategy for coming back
into alignment when you're feeling disconnected by Julie Rogers Hamrick
(used with permission)
Step One: Observe your feelings and
listen to the conversation in your head without judging what you
observe. If you feel angry, resentful, hurt, sad, fearful, or anything
other than joyful, or if what you’re hearing in your head is other than
loving, your ego has taken the wheel and is blocking your perfect
alignment with your God-Realized Self, and holding you out of the flow
of Love from Source, thus lowering your frequency and keeping you in
the “misery matrix.”
Step Two: Acknowledge your intention to
shift back into alignment as soon as you recognize that you are
misaligned, and express your intent to surrender to your God-Realized
Self: the aspect of you that is perpetually in alignment with Source
and thus is totally loving, all wise, all powerful, and consistently
blissful. Being aligned with this unlimited Self and rising in
frequency (the result of being in alignment) is the solution to all
problems.
Step Three: Allow your ego to express
whatever it needs to—whether it’s rage, grief, or self-righteousness.
Just let it come out. If writing out your feelings (for your eyes only)
would be helpful, do that. Cry, yell, punch a pillow—do whatever you
need to do to discharge the energy. Do not resist anything that comes
up on the basis of it not being “nice.” (These exercises are for you
and no one else—ideally, you will do them in private.) Observe without
resistance while this is going on, and know that these feelings are not
a part of you, but simply “stuff” that needs to be discharged to make
way for Love to flow. Devote as much purposeful time to this as needed.
Step Four: Select any frequency-raising
support activities and tools that seem appropriate and utilize them (A
partial list is at the bottom of this post). Moving Life Force freely
through you without ego choking off the flow is the key to rising in
frequency. Music is one of the most powerful realignment tools as it
easily bypasses ego resistance. You may want to use sad or angry music
during Step Three, but once your ego has expressed and you’re feeling
more peaceful and ready to allow yourself to move toward joy, choose
music that you feel will be helpful in boosting you upward.
Step Five: Let go to the upward movement
of your energy and enhance it by breathing into it and celebrating it!
Stay focused on the wonderful feeling of Life Force flowing through
you, and feel it elevating you closer and closer to the “joy space.”
Repeating the words “Thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you, thank
you” over and over again to your God-Realized Self is like fanning a
spark to turn it into a flame. Feel the
magnetic energy of the joy space calling you upward and revel in the
feeling of being there—it’s your true Home!
Honor your
intuition as to what else you need to do. Your intuition is your
God-Realized Self guiding you.
Repeat as needed.
Frequency-Raising
Support Tools and Techniques
Raising your
frequency is a matter of unblocking the flow of Life Force from Source
(also known as Love), so that it flows freely through you without
resistance from your ego.
The following
are some of the many tools and energy-moving techniques that will help
get you back in the flow!
Music is one of
the easiest, most effective passive tools for frequency-raising as it
is generally something that bypasses ego-resistance and entrains your
energy to it without effort. You can use music to assist in moving out
emotional “stuff” when you’re providing ego the chance to be heard so
it can drop its resistance. Music composed as an act of healing is
especially potent for this. Upbeat, rhythmic music will lift you up
higher when you are ready to move to the joy space.
Conscious
breathing — breathing dynamically and purposefully — realigns you with
the
rhythm of the Divine. Imagine you are breathing in Light and breathing
out whatever is not in alignment and blocking the flow of Life Force
through you. Using circular breathing techniques (rebirthing therapy)
can rapidly move energy blockages through and out and free your energy
to flow, but simply sitting and focusing on your breath is also a
powerful way to get centered, oxygenated, and enlivened.
Aromatherapy is
a powerful, passive frequency-raiser that bypasses all ego
resistance.The aromatic essences of plants were provided by the Creator
for the purpose of assisting us in realigning with Source, thus
balancing, healing and energizing us. Smelling a pure plant fragrance
brings our energy into the frontal lobes of the brain to the pineal
gland where our God Knowingness is accessible. Many fragrances such as
frankincense, sandalwood, rose and balsam fir are particularly
effective for stimulating the pineal gland and raising frequency.
Essential oils must be therapeutic-grade for this use.
Sleep is the
gift we are given daily to get our ego-minds out of the way so we can
realign with Source and Life Force can freely flow through us. Getting
enough sleep is extremely important in raising your frequency and
keeping it high.
Relaxation is
like “neutral” in the gears of a car. When we relax, we allow energy in
reverse polarity to come back into alignment. When things are going
wrong, taking a deep breath and relaxing mentally and physically puts
Spirit back in charge.
Toning is using
your voice to raise and balance energy, something you do instinctively
as a child. There are infinite ways to tone, but here is a technique to
try: Start by sounding “oooooooooo” (rhymes with “glue”) at the lowest
note your voice will go and raise the tone up smoothly over a period of
a few seconds, from as low as you can easily go to the highest you can
easily go, like a siren starting up, and hold the highest note as long
as you can. Do not force the sound—let your voice gently wrap around
the sound so as not to cause vocal strain. Repeat.
Experiment
with your voice and find your own favorite technique!
Exercise,
including stretching, is a really great way to get the Life Force
flowing freely through your body again. Physical movement not only
causes energy to move through and oxygenate your brain, it stimulates
the release of endorphins, which are frequency-elevating, as witnessed
by the way they move you into joy. Do your favorite workout, dance,
play a game that requires movement, or simply take a walk. The key is
to move.
Frontal lobe
stimulation withdraws energy from your reptilian brain (home of your
ego’s greatest influence) and draws it into the part of your brain
where your God Knowingness is available. You can stimulate your frontal
lobes by focusing energy there. One easy way to do this is by
visualizing your amygdala—two walnut-sized structures in the mid-brain
at about eye level—and imagining Tinkerbell swooping in and tickling
them with a feather.
Radiating Love
unconditionally is the most frequency-raising of all activities because
in order to do it, you have to be in alignment! It is what you were
designed for, and the ability to do this is “hard-wired” into you. When
you radiate Love impersonally, just the way Source does, without
concern for who is receiving or appreciating it, you are automatically
in perfect alignment.
Other powerful
frequency-raising activities to try include:
Writing a letter
to God, and channeling God’s totally loving answer in response
Appreciating
something or someone (gratitude is an especially powerful form of
appreciation)
Communing with
Nature and allowing it to trigger your Love response to it
Doing something
for someone with absolutely no expectation of anything in return
Using water, a
magical, electromagnetic substance, to soak in, shower in, swim in,
gaze at, and drink (being well-hydrated is essential)
