Ghosts Among Us - James Van Praagh [75]
Breathing is one of the most important elements in any exercise. The breath is your cleansing filter. It is important to realize that when you inhale, you are taking in new energy, and when you exhale, you are letting go of used energy.
Place your awareness on the soles of your feet. Imagine that your feet are like tree trunks and that roots extend from the soles of your feet downward into the ground right to the center of the earth.
Next, imagine a tube that goes from the base of your spine, through the ground, to the center of the earth. This tube will be used for the release of any excess energy in your body that you no longer need or want.
As you breathe in, imagine green, nurturing Mother Earth energy coming up through the roots of your feet and into your legs, pelvis, stomach, and heart.
As you exhale, let go of any excess energy you may feel in your body through the tube that is attached to the base of your spine. See this excess energy as gray or brown, and let it flow down the tube and into the earth.
After several breaths in and out, imagine the bright golden light of the sun hovering several feet above your head. This light represents the cosmic energies. As you inhale once more, let the golden rays of the light come through the crown chakra at the top of your head and down your body through your head, neck, shoulders, arms, back, and finally into the heart center. As you envision the earth energies and the cosmic energies coming together, feel them blending in your heart.
PROTECTION EXERCISE 2: RECOGNIZING FOREIGN ENERGY AND GHOSTLY ATTACHMENTS
A woman once complained to me that nothing in her life was going right. “What’s wrong with me?” she asked. I took one look at her aura and told her, “It’s not what’s wrong with you, it’s who’s wrong with you. Whose energy are you carrying around with you that is impeding your space and influencing your choices?”
Anyone who thinks of you, or with whom you interact, can leave an indelible impression in your aura. It could be your husband, wife, mother, father, child, employer, employee, or neighbor. Most of these energies are harmless, but some may be a source of physical and emotional aches and pains. This next exercise will help you get rid of these parasitic energies.
Start with the grounding and balancing exercise. Remember to keep a steady breathing pattern when doing this exercise.
Next, imagine that you are standing behind yourself, looking at your body. As you look at your body, become attuned to the space surrounding it. What does this space look and feel like?
With your mind’s eye, visualize a blank white screen in front of you. This screen is surrounded by a garden of colorful tulips.
Special energy vision goggles are plugged into the screen. Take the goggles and place them over your eyes. These goggles are able to detect energetic intrusions.
As you stare at the screen with your goggles, scan your body and the space around it from the top of your head on down. Make sure to take your time. Do not rush through this step. Some energy is harder to detect than others.
While you scan, notice whether there are certain areas of the body and aura that appear dense, as if some type of matter is attached. When you see these pockets of clumped energy, ask the energy to identify who or what it is. The answer will appear on your screen. If it is the energy of a particular person, you will see his or her face projected on the screen. If it is a ghostly attachment, you should see something projected on your screen. It could be a person’s figure or a dark mass. If the energy is leftover from a particular event or situation, the event will appear on the screen. This step is vital in removing the energy from your space.
As you identify the energy on the screen, mentally command this energy to leave your space.
Next, imagine the unwanted energy absorbed by the tulips in your garden. As it goes into the tulips and back into Mother Earth, it is transmuted into love.
If the energy turns out to be an uninvited ghost, mentally send the ghost
