Interview with Shakti Gawain

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:49:38 GMT

Shakti Gawain is the author of many books on creative visualization. I thought some of you might find this interview with her interesting.

CREATIVE VISUALIZATION with SHAKTI GAWAIN

JEFFREY MISHLOVE, Ph.D.: Hello and welcome. Our topic today is "Creative Visualization," and my guest is Shakti Gawain, the author of Creative Visualization, a best seller, as well as Living in the Light. Shakti is the co-founder of Whatever Publishing Company, and also the founder of the Shakti Center in Mill Valley, California, and she leads workshops and seminars throughout the United States. Shakti, welcome.

SHAKTI GAWAIN: Thank you.

MISHLOVE: It's a pleasure to have you here.

GAWAIN: It's good to be here.

MISHLOVE: You know, you talk about creative visualization in an interesting way. You say that events start at a level of energy -- that the physical universe as we know it isn't really solid, that it's all energy, in effect created by spirit, and that creative visualization is one of the ways in which we manifest, in which spirit creates itself. It's as if our thoughts, our thought forms, our images, are like blueprints for actual events that occur in the world. The tricky thing with that, I should imagine, is that we sometimes have thoughts that don't manifest, don't we?

GAWAIN: Yes, lots of them. And that's probably fortunate. I mean, think what would happen if we manifested every thought we ever had. What it is, is that the thoughts that we think the most frequently, and even more importantly, the deepest beliefs, the deepest feelings, the deepest expectations and attitudes that we have, are what we manifest. People often worry, when they first hear about creative visualization, that you create your own reality, they think, "Oh my God, I can't ever afford to think a negative thought, because I'm going to create it." Fortunately, it doesn't work that way. You don't have to be afraid of your own thoughts. It's just that the underlying attitudes and beliefs and systems that we have about life are what we create, what we attract to us.

MISHLOVE: I suppose if one looks about the planet and sees the problems that we have -- the threat of war, pollution, overpopulation, starvation, and so on -- one might think, "Gosh, have we been visualizing these things collectively?"

GAWAIN: Absolutely, absolutely. In other words, we have the expectation and the belief that these things are inevitable, and that they're natural. As I was just saying to somebody the other day, we've always believed that war is natural.

MISHLOVE: We've always had it, right?

GAWAIN: We've always had it, so obviously it's inevitable and natural. Therefore we continue to create it; we continue to think of it as a viable option. So I believe that what's beginning to happen, for the first time in human consciousness, is that we really are beginning to question that. We're beginning to look at this and say, this is insane, this isn't normal, this isn't natural, this isn't a viable solution to anything, this is just plain crazy. And for the first time a few people, or a number of people, are beginning to say, wow, maybe we shouldn't expect this and plan on this. Maybe we should create the idea that you could do things a different way.

MISHLOVE: In other words, just because we've always done it, we still have the freedom to envision something different.

GAWAIN: Yes, definitely. Absolutely. And I believe that whenever change comes about, it starts with a few people, or one person sometimes -- a few people beginning to envision something different. And what we do when we do that, is that we open our minds. We open to the possibilities that are always existing.

MISHLOVE: Another point that you made in that book that I found fascinating, is that creative visualization doesn't mean that you have to have visual imagery. A lot of people don't visualize very well, and your notion is that if you have a thought, however you hold thoughts in your mind --

GAWAIN: Right. Everybody uses their imagination, although some people don't think they do. A lot of people have such negative beliefs about themselves, they think, "I'm not imaginative." But everybody uses their imagination. An easy way to realize that is, I just ask people to close their eyes for a minute and imagine that they're at home in their room. Well, whatever happens for you when you do that, that's your form of visualization. You may have a clear picture. You may have sort of a vague picture. You may not have a picture at all. You may just think about being at home in your room, or whatever. But that's your form of imagery or visualization or imagination. And I always encourage people just to do what comes easily to them, don't worry about it. People get very hung up trying to visualize, and they just get in the way of the process. If they just --

MISHLOVE: [Makes sound of effort] Unnhhh, unnhhh, unnhhh, it's almost coming now.

GAWAIN: Of course that doesn't work. They just block themselves. And I've found with thousands of people that I've worked with, all you have to do is just relax, do what comes easily, and it works. It works.

MISHLOVE: And you really recommend this as a discipline for people, or a spiritual practice of sorts.

GAWAIN: Well, it's definitely a very important discipline, to be used at appropriate times. I used it for many years in my life, and now I only occasionally use visualization.

MISHLOVE: It's sort of second nature at this point.

GAWAIN: Yes, exactly.

MISHLOVE: But I suppose it's fair to say we're always visualizing all the time.

GAWAIN: Absolutely. So the first thing I say in my book, is that creative visualization is not something new. It's something everybody is doing every moment, every waking moment, and even every sleeping moment, when we're dreaming -- maybe not every moment, but a good part of the time. So you're always picturing and imagining what you expect to have happen to you. And unfortunately, most people are picturing and expecting all those awful things that we've been so programmed to believe in.

MISHLOVE: I mean, we're so accustomed to facing an unknown future event with the thought, "Oh, this is going to be awful."

GAWAIN: Right.

MISHLOVE: It's as if we're steeling ourselves for the worst.

GAWAIN: Exactly. We've been taught, you know, that we'd better expect the worst, because then we'll be prepared for it. I can remember having the superstitious belief, almost, that I ought to think about the worst thing, because if I think about the best thing, then I might be disappointed, and so forth. I'd like to clear one thing up, because this is something that people get very confused about. It's not as if you can't be afraid. Of course we're afraid. We're human beings. We feel afraid a lot. We have fears that come up for us, and a very important way of working with visualization is to also look at our fears -- to be willing to see them, to understand them, to delve into them, to look at what's underneath them. Not to avoid them, because that's just repressing, and psychologically that's a very dangerous thing to do.

MISHLOVE: And I suppose we really also need to be aware of potential pitfalls that may lie in front of us.

GAWAIN: You know, it's all about becoming conscious.

People think sometimes when they hear about visualization that they're supposed to take all their negative thoughts and deny them, and that's the most dangerous thing in the world to do. What you want to do is look at all your feelings, all your thoughts, all your images, and understand them, and then just whenever you can, begin to give a little extra energy to the ones that you really want.

MISHLOVE: So you're not really quite in the same tradition as Norman Vincent Peale and the power of positive thinking.

GAWAIN: I don't like to use the term positive thinking, because it creates this misconception for people. You know, there really is no such thing as positive or negative thoughts or feelings. We just get very afraid of certain of our feelings, and we don't want to feel them. And that's how we get stuck. So I'm very much a believer in accepting all of your feelings. In fact I do a lot of pretty deep therapy work with people, and that involves feeling your sadness, feeling your anger, feeling your grief, feeling your fear, all of those things, which are really very powerful and creative aspects of ourselves.

MISHLOVE: When we talk about creative visualization, I can imagine it on two levels. One level, which I think would be very understandable for people, is like a blueprint. You have a blueprint, you build a house. You have an idea before you make the blueprint even. And so it's the way we plan our lives. But there's another level, I think, that's going on, which is more parapsychological in a way. It's as if when you visualize something, you can almost attract it to you magnetically, as if it sends out some sort of resonance into this world of energy, and draws it there. And you apparently are dealing with that on both levels.

GAWAIN: Yes. Well, there are the active and the receptive principles, the male and female energies that exist in everything. And that's true of visualization as well. One aspect of visualization is where you think about what you want, and you set a goal, and you sort of set out to create it. And you put energy out to move toward your goal. And another aspect of it is where you really listen inside of yourself, and you receive whatever images or thoughts or intuitive feelings that come from your inner self, and you sort of allow yourself to attract and receive. And they're both important.

MISHLOVE: I suppose there's really a delicate balance when you're planning your life, because if visualization works as well as people claim that it does, you have to be careful what you visualize.

GAWAIN: Well, I don't worry about that, because your higher self, your higher intelligence within you, is in charge of the whole process. So it's not like you're going to go out and visualize something that's really, really wrong for you. Now, sometimes people do have an experience of visualizing something they think they want, getting it, and realizing, well, this didn't work for me.

MISHLOVE: That's the classic mythology -- you know, the story of the three wishes. Each one is worse than the next, until finally you have to wish to undo the previous ones.

GAWAIN: Exactly. Of course the point of all that is it's not the things in life that matter. When I first learned about visualization, I thought, "Well, great, now I can create everything I want" -- I mean, once I became convinced. It took me a while to become convinced that it was effective, because I was quite skeptical at first. But as I started to use it and I realized, gee, this really does work, I thought, well, OK, so now I can have what I want in my life -- which is true, but of course the point is not to get the stuff, because you can get everything out there and you're still not happy. The source of happiness comes from being connected to the higher self, or the spiritual self, within us. So you can visualize money and cars and new jobs and new houses and all sorts of things, and you can probably manifest them, if that's what you really want and need in your life. But of course you're going to discover in the process that what really makes you happy is the fact that you discover that you're a creative being. That's the joy, that's the fulfillment of the process. So as long as people are still hung up on the externals, they create a lot of disappointment for themselves. They either can't manifest what they want, or they manifest it and discover that it still doesn't bring them happiness. And, you know, sometimes you have to go through that for awhile. But eventually what it does, or what it did for me, is it takes you back to a sense that the process itself is what's really exciting -- the process of creation that we're doing every minute.

MISHLOVE: Let's talk about the process a little more. Can we break it down, for people who are unfamiliar with these terms? How does one begin consciously practicing creative visualization?

GAWAIN: Well, there are some simple techniques. The main technique is learning how to relax, which is a big one for a lot of us in this society. So I usually teach people some very simple kinds of relaxation and meditation techniques -- just close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, relax your body. Sometimes I encourage people to just lie down and put on some soft music -- whatever can help you to relax -- or some traditional breathing techniques, or whatever. And so the first step is just to relax your body, relax your mind, let yourself drop into a quieter, deeper level of consciousness, which puts you more in touch with your intuitive or creative self. After that, the basic technique of visualization is to create an experience within yourself of whatever it is that you want. That can be an external thing or an internal thing. In other words, you could visualize or imagine yourself in your new house, or your new job. Or you could simply visualize or imagine yourself feeling self confident, or feeling very creative, or learning how to express your feelings more directly, or anything that's important to you.

MISHLOVE: It could be an internal state as well.

GAWAIN: Anything, absolutely.

MISHLOVE: I mean it could be a state of enlightenment, something of that sort.

GAWAIN: Sure.

MISHLOVE: I don't know quite how you visualize that, but I imagine there are ways.

GAWAIN: Well, whatever it means to you. What enlightenment means to me is just completely loving and accepting myself as I am, and enjoying myself moment by moment.

MISHLOVE: How do you visualize that?

GAWAIN: Well, I just imagine what it would be like to go through my day feeling good about myself, not judging myself, but loving and appreciating myself, being very spontaneous. It's kind of a childlike state -- being very spontaneous, and just doing what you love to do, and enjoying yourself. And if you feel sad, you feel sad. If you feel happy, you feel happy.

MISHLOVE: So you could think of it as almost like a fantasy.

GAWAIN: Yes. Visualization and fantasy are very closely connected. The only thing about fantasy is that we usually tell ourselves that our fantasies are impossible: "Oh, that's just a fantasy." One of the first things I do with people in using visualization is I start encouraging them to fantasize, and to believe that there's the possibility that their fantasies might be true, or at least that they always contain a kernel of truth in them.

MISHLOVE: One of the rules or guidelines that many traditions express, and that you mention, is to visualize this as if it's already happening.

GAWAIN: Oh yes, absolutely.

MISHLOVE: You put it in the present.

GAWAIN: The idea of visualization is to create an internal reality, which then tends to attract that to you externally. So if I can have a sense of feeling, like I said, very good about myself as I go through the day, there's a chance that later on, as I'm going through my day, I'll just kind of click into that state and remember that. It doesn't mean it's absolutely going to happen from then on, but there's a greater chance that I will start to remember that.

MISHLOVE: You're increasing your likelihood, at least.

GAWAIN: Yes, and for things like externals -- like for example, suppose I want a better job. If I've been creating and visualizing and imagining, "What would it be like to have a job that I really love? What would it be like to get up every morning and go to work and feel wonderful about what I'm doing?" And I kind of imagine, perhaps, some of the particulars of it, like I'm working with people I really like, I'm expressing myself in a way that I enjoy, and just create that feeling inside, what it seems to do is open us up to more of the possibilities that already exist. It's almost like a little trick we do on ourselves, because most of us go around like this [indicates putting on blinders] most of the time. We only see about ten percent of the possibilities that really exist. So when you start to visualize, you simply open up your own horizons, so that you start to notice opportunities that you wouldn't even have thought of before, and you seem to create an open energy field that starts to bring things in to you.

MISHLOVE: So in one sense it's psychological, then; you're changing your own attitudes.

GAWAIN: Absolutely.

MISHLOVE: And in another sense, it's as if you could call it spiritual or parapsychological. You're working with the forces of the universe.

GAWAIN: Yes, exactly. I can't even really begin to explain exactly how it works, but I know that it works. I'm a very pragmatic person, and when I first found out about this I thought, "Hmm! I don't know; that sounds a little simplistic," and so forth. But something in me thought, "You know, there's some truth in this." And I started to try it, and it works.

MISHLOVE: Well, you seem to be a good walking example of the technique, with the success of your books and your publishing company and your seminars and so on. So for practicing the method -- now, I'm closing my eyes, and I'm visualizing everybody loving the TV program, or something to that effect.

GAWAIN: Right, right.

MISHLOVE: Now I hold the image. I see thousands of people out there clapping and applauding. Where do we go with that? Then what?

GAWAIN: OK, then usually what I do is I use a very simple technique that I call the pink bubble technique. Once you've created the scene or the feeling that you want, you just imagine that you put it in a beautiful big pink bubble -- this is fun, you know -- and you just take that pink bubble containing your image or the feeling that you want. As I say, it doesn't have to be an image, it can just be a feeling. And just very lightly toss it in the air and release it. Let go of it.

MISHLOVE: Ahh. OK.

GAWAIN: Now symbolically, what this means is that you've visualized it, you've created it, you've asked for it, and you release it. The reason we need to do that is because we have a tendency to want to hang on to everything, and to try to make it happen. That's how we've been taught, is that for anything to happen you have to make it happen.

MISHLOVE: That's the American way, isn't it? The "can- do" attitude, right?

GAWAIN: Absolutely. With your will; and you just force it, and you just push and you struggle and you make it happen.

MISHLOVE: Right. John Wayne.

GAWAIN: But really, that's the opposite of how it really works. You have to allow things to happen. The more you sort of relax -- it doesn't mean you don't pursue something or work at it, but the more relaxed you are as you're doing it, the more open you are, the more you can see the different options that you have. So as you release the pink bubble, symbolically you're saying, "OK, I want this to happen, and now I'm open. And I'm willing to have it happen, and if it's not going to happen, I'm willing to see something even better." I sometimes say that affirmation: "This, or something better, is now manifesting for me." Because sometimes we think we know what we want, and in actual fact there's something even better for us that we haven't realized yet.

MISHLOVE: Well, we certainly often change our goals, change our directions.

GAWAIN: Oh, definitely. And you don't want to limit yourself to what you thought you wanted yesterday, when by today it's already changed. So you always affirm that it's this or something better. And then you just let go and you go about your business. Now, there's a very important follow-up to all of this, though. First of all, you can do that as often as you want. I usually suggest that people do a visualization maybe once a day or twice a day.

MISHLOVE: And the whole process may only take a minute or two.

GAWAIN: Yes, especially once you learn to do it. The only part that takes any time is usually getting in kind of a relaxed state. And once you learn how to take a few deep breaths and relax, you can do an instant visualization.

MISHLOVE: Now, what if I have a hundred different things that I want? Is there a limit to how much a person should do this?

GAWAIN: I don't think there are any absolute rules about this. I don't think there are any absolute rules about much of anything. So I tell people to try to do what works for them, because people are different. Generally you don't want to get too complicated with all of this. Keep it simple. Start with maybe one or two things that are most important to you right now, and just go with those for awhile. And then when you get bored with that, or you feel like you get stuck, try something else. Or when you get that thing, move on to the next. I usually ask people not to make it too complicated, especially at first. And of course, more and more as you use this process, you begin to get in touch with the deeper things that you really want, and it gets simpler. Most people begin to realize that they don't want a million and one things. What they essentially want are a few simple, important things in their lives.

MISHLOVE: I would imagine if you really asked people at a deep level what they really, really want, they want to feel connected.

GAWAIN: Yes.

MISHLOVE: With themselves, even -- a sense of self love.

GAWAIN: A sense of connection to yourself, connection to the higher intelligence, a connection to the world and to other people. You're a hundred percent right.

MISHLOVE: And I would imagine that being able to visualize and manifest other things almost flows from that sense of connection.

GAWAIN: It does, yes. So what the process of creative visualization of course did for me, was begin to take me more and more into connection with myself, where I realized the power of creation is within me, it comes through me. But it comes from a higher source. I had been an atheist up until then, and it began to make me realize that whatever you want to call it, there's some other force, there's some higher intelligence than just my ego self at work here. And I began to get very interested in finding out what that was, and becoming more and more connected. And gradually I lost interest in the idea of trying to make everything happen in the way I thought I wanted it to, and simply learned to allow that guiding force within me to show me the way. So I developed an increasingly surrendered attitude, which is, "OK, you show me what you want." Because whenever I move with my intuition, I get everything I want anyway.

MISHLOVE: You know, I was wondering about that, when we talk about the active and the passive. If I sit down actively to envision something, it's coming from the intellect, sort of the top layer of the cortex. Whereas if I sit down and intuit: "What does the deep self want?" it's as if the image forms of its own accord.

GAWAIN: Absolutely. And that's why I do relatively little visualization anymore. It was a very useful thing for me to practice for a long time, because I was overcoming my old victim sort of process about life. You know: "I don't have anything to do with this; things just happen to me." I was stepping into the role of being powerful and creative in my life. But once I realized that I'm powerful and creative, the next step was to say, how does that creative wisdom within me, want to express itself? What does it want to do? And so now my meditation is more the practice of moment by moment listening to my intuition, trusting it, and acting on it spontaneously, to find out where it takes me. So I'll do a visualization if there's something that I want. Like I want to have a beautiful retreat center in Hawaii. OK, I'll visualize that. I imagine that, put it in the pink bubble, release it. And then I practice, moment by moment, listening to my inner guidance, my intuition, my gut feeling about things, acting on it. And then that's what guides me to create it, to manifest it.

MISHLOVE: Now, what about people who are in such a negative state that if they sit down and try to tune in to their inner self, what they're going to get is a lot of sort of negative, destructive images?

GAWAIN: Well, that's where the therapeutic aspect of this comes in. We do this in order to heal ourselves and get in touch with ourselves. It's very important to start allowing those so-called negative fears and voices and so forth to begin to express as well. Those are parts of us that are simply frightened and have had painful experiences.

MISHLOVE: So they're expressing fears. But there must be a delicate thing about wanting to allow the expression of those fears to occur, without the manifestation of the things we fear.

GAWAIN: It's very much a misconception to think that because you've put attention into something, it's going to manifest. Things manifest because they've been denied. If you have a fear or an experience in your life that you don't want to look at and don't want to face and don't want to deal with, and you repress it, it goes into your unconscious and it manifests it, because it has a lot of power. The power builds. If you're willing to look at it, feel it, express it, get help with it, whatever you need, it releases. The power releases. It's really a misconception to think that if you allow yourself to think your negative thoughts and feel your negative feelings, that it's going to manifest. We need to allow ourselves to feel those things -- not to just run around in a little stuck groove with them, like a lot of people do, but to get help to go deeper with it and find out, why do I feel this way? So I do a lot of work with people, even to go back into childhood, discover what the painful experiences are that we had, and to heal them. They get healed simply by being understood and loved. All our feelings need to be loved. So, for example, if you're getting plagued with a negative thought, what I do is I have somebody sit down and ask to really feel it and to really experience it, and to really understand why it's there, and to love that part of yourself that's afraid.

MISHLOVE: To really be with yourself in the negativity.

GAWAIN: Totally, absolutely. And to love and to parent yourself -- you know, to give yourself the compassion and the help and the support that you need. And to get other people for that, too -- to get a therapist, get a friend, get a counselor, get a group, get other people who you can work through that stuff with. It's real important. And gradually, as you do those things -- you know, you learn how to let something come up, come to the surface, you recognize it, you feel it, and then it dissolves. And then the next thing that happens is that the creativity comes forth.

MISHLOVE: Now, when you're dealing with a positive image, is it useful then, if you want it to be powerful, to hold it inside -- not to talk about it, but to just kind of be with it yourself?

GAWAIN: Yes, sometimes it's important to do that. Again, it's an intuitive thing. Sometimes it's important to tell people, because you want to get the reinforcement and support. Other times it's much more important to keep it in yourself, especially if you're in a negative environment where if you tell it, people will start putting it down, contradicting it, and so forth. Sometimes then it's important to keep it, and say, "OK, this is my dream, and I believe in it."

MISHLOVE: I can imagine in some business environments if you say, "I'm doing creative visualization" --

GAWAIN: You'll get laughed out of the room. So yes, you need to know when it's appropriate to express it and when it's not. And definitely, if you keep it to yourself, it's still very, very powerful.

MISHLOVE: It seems as if what you're really saying is that creative visualization is a tool, but to use it most properly it should be at the service of our intuition, and that at a deep level our intuition can always guide us into how to use it properly.

GAWAIN: Absolutely. Of course that's what my next book, Living in the Light, is about -- how to learn to get in touch with your intuition, and to trust that, and begin to express that in your life. Then visualization becomes a very useful tool, to use at the moment that you want to use it, rather than using it to try to control your life.

MISHLOVE: Well, that should be the topic of another interview, I think, Shakti. Intuition is such a deep topic we could go into it for quite awhile. Thank you very much for being with me today.

GAWAIN: Thank you. My pleasure.

New, and Confused.

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:47:43 GMT

Hello,

I am very new to this community, but I really didn't have anywhere else to turn.

I've researched in great deal what I believe to be my "calling." I have the ability to see, and feel auras. Since I was a child (around three), I can remember seeing crystal like auras on plants, and other objects such as wood, electronics, etc. Then I started being able to see colored auras around people and animals.

Just last night I asked my husband to let me try to feel and heal his aura. I spent about an hour touching, feeling, and trying to put good energy into his aura. This morning when he woke up he claimed to be experiencing a better connectivity to the world around him, less anxiety, and better mood.

So, my question is, how do I find out if I am an aura healer? How do I practice this on people, and understand how to do this? I am very confused, and need advice. Thank you.

Stephanie

Living on sunlight, energy of space & liquid nutrition healer from Ukraine

Light that gives life

About living on sunlight, energy of space and liquid nutrition a healer from Zaporozhye

The Sun is the source of life on Earth, there is no doubt about it. But can man live without roughage, on sunlight, energy of space and liquid nutrition? Yes, he can! A healer from Zaporozhye called Nikolay Dolgorukiy is an example of this.

Among people who are interested in bioenergy, extrasensory things and magic as well as in alternative scientific literature there is information about individuals who eat nothing but sunlight and Cosmic energy. They are referred to as suneaters - people who are living on sunlight. In the country of yogis India there are many of them, in the USA and Europe there are some, in the CIS there are only a few.

That's why it is even more surprising that there is a suneater in Zaporozhye who lives (what a fantastic coincidence!) at 1 Sunny Str. The yard of his house, facing the Red Water and an intersection of several streets of Zeleniy Yar, can be seen from afar thanks to a number of pyramidal structures. The pyramids built by Nikolay Dolgorukiy have healing properties and are energetically connected with similar constructions in Egypt and on Mars. But we are not going to speak of them now, we are going to speak of this unique person who has learnt to live without roughage.

Nikolay was born in Zaporozhye in 1957, graduated from a technical college, worked in the North. He devoted himself to spiritual perfection at the age of 33. But it had begun long before that.

Nikolay Dolgorukiy: "When I was 10, my brother died; at the age of 16 I lost my father. These tremendous losses were leading me to the understanding of some truth, to something I could not grasp… In 1972 I came upon a rare copy of a book on hatha yoga. And I started working on myself. I read, collected newspaper and magazine clips, studied oriental martial arts, phytotherapy, psychology… In 1993 I graduated from the University majoring in Bioenergy Information Science and Psychocorrection. Since 1989 I kept a light Christian fast - I did not eat animal food, I ate mostly vegetables. And since 25 August 2003 I have not eaten roughage…"

- What do you live on?

- I gaze at the sun, for more than five hours a day. My record is 13 hours… I go barefoot, sleep outside or in one of the pyramids both in summer and in winter. I drink milk, cacao, tea with honey, vegetable broths, juices. I drink only "charged" water (almost boiling). The energy of the Sun and Space, the capacities of our body regarding photosynthesis and liquid nutrition are enough for me. I even feel my blood renovate.

- Do you have any health problems?

- At first I lost 5-7 kg, but now my weight is OK. I do hard physical work (during our conversation Nikolay was digging a pit to build a new energy chamber). I always ride a bike. There are no problems.

- What about your eyes? One can lose his eyesight gazing at the sun for many hours, can't he?

- As you can see, I have excellent eyesight, I can read well. It is important to do everything gradually and with the help of God.

- But books are not enough to pass on sunlight, energy of space and liquid nutrition, right?

- One must have an aspiration and a connection with God. All my actions are guided by God. I get information about what to do and how to do it as if through an interface. It requires only darkness and silence.

- But you also have a gift...

- Everyone has a gift. Anyone can pass on sunlight, energy of space and liquid nutrition. I don't have secrets. I am eager to undergo a medical checkup that will allow to study the phenomenon of living on sunlight, energy of space and liquid nutrition. In fact, I am happy that there are followers. I am willing to share my knowledge but not with idle curious people, I am willing to share it with those who want to change themselves, those who "aspire"…

According to Nikolay Dolgorukiy, such portal opened on his plot of land thanks to years of hard work. No wonder that every plant grows wildly around it, and a person who visits this place is cured. Nikolay assures that it is not he who heals but the higher powers. His only task is to create conditions for this. With this purpose he has built pyramids and energy chambers (whose shape activates the Space energy regenerating all the human organs and cells).

But not only for this. Man must clarify the Earth around him. In this case life will change for the better. "That's exactly what I do: I build pyramids, plant trees along the Red Water, says Nikolay. The humankind will become closer to Nature if we unite our efforts…" The most amazing thing is that environmental problems do not prevent Nikolay doing what he does: they can be solved. On the contrary: Zaporozhye has been created for contact with God, in particular it can be explained by the presence of Khortitsa, by the fact that magicians, Cossacks lived here once; they were probably ancestors of Nikolay Dolgorukiy and passed their gift on to him. Native land and the Sun feed man with their power. The only thing one must have for this is love. And if we think it over, that's the way it should be!

Zhaporozhye newspaper "Gvozdy"
№8, 2 of June 2005

Nikolay had new personal record in year 2006: non-stop sungazing more than 13 hours — since the sunrise to the sunset.
In 2007 Nikolay Dolgorukiy sungazed with open eyes for 16 hours.

how do you get rid of someone elses energy?

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 07:08:58 GMT

I'm not sure if I am the only one who experiences this.. maybe because my clairsentient ability is quite high, im not sure..

When I am talking to someone and or consulting with them I can easilty tune in to what they are feeling and react according to it.

I'm only asking because I had a person who I was reading for yesterday who was very very emotionally upset-
to the point of being angry and mad at her situation and just couldn't see the clairity that I was trying to offer her..

It was so hard for me to get rid of her energy link after the reading, that had to take a breather -literally- outside, to get in touch with natures natural positive energy and balance myself once again.

So here is the discussion question to which I am posting now.

Q: How do you as an empath get rido of the psychic link after the session is complete?

about my guardian angel.

Fri, 30 May 2008 10:41:02 GMT

I asked to see my Guardian Angel the other night and this is what he looks like:

My Guardian Angel is a male.

He is strong and powerful with broad sholders.

He has brown middle length wavy hair and he come down to visit me when I ask for protection surrounded with an aura of bright white light.

He scoops me up in his arms (I feel the warmth and protection that surrounds him) and we shoot up nito the sky fast-flying.

He lets me feel free flying around with him and all my worries and doubts pass through my body as they get carried away by the wind.

Once I am calm, he gently me back to our meeting place.

We bow to each other to show respect and part with positive unconditional love until we see each other again.

That is what my Guardian Angel looks like.

ahhh magick.

Today I was thinking about getting myself a crystal ball.

I was in the lounge area looking for a deck of cards to practice my meditation and abilities on when behold! right in front of me was a crystal ball.

And it wasn't a clear crystal ball, but rather has a purple colour haze around it. Once i started staring into it the colour changed which was great. I also noticed a vision (my first) within the crystal. (i'm so happy to know that i have a natural ability in seeing clearly as well, fancy that)

Purple is my favourite colour anyway and it so happens to be a fantastic psychic healing colour. I was very happy with the higher beings - ask and you shall receive. Mote it be!

A quick blessing for the moonchild of the night.

Tue, 20 May 2008 07:17:39 GMT

May I be guided, by my higher powers, may I be healed and blessed by all.
May I be able to hear the miusic, may I be able to hear the call.

Blessed is the one who follows the rule of the light,
The moon is called upon us all, blessed be the one tonight.

Review a book about the law of attraction

Tue, 13 May 2008 20:24:31 GMT

Hey Bloggers,
I am working right now to promote a book, Soul Discovery: 9 Principles for Revealing Your Sacred Gifts. Author Joan Marie invites people to “dance with their soul,” and change lives as she awakens her readers to their true life’s purpose and their soul’s sacred gifts. She has an incredible gift for what she calls “ability to feel what is going on in other people’s bodies as well as hear, see and feel those who have passed over.” With this gift, she has brought mental and physical healing to many grateful people.
She is a very popular medium and has been a guest on numerous radio and television shows across the country, like the Whoopi Goldberg Show. Whoopi Goldberg has even endorsed her book, saying “Sometimes, people are just born with "it". They can hear your voice and be able to tell you all about yourself. Joan Marie seems to be able to tap into that thing that makes us all human. I've been around her; I've seen her do her thing”.
If you would like to learn more about heightening and developing your intuition and how Joan Marie utilizes the Law of Attraction, email me at chelseasterling@gmail.com to review the book on your blog. After you review the book, you will receive a free teleseminar with Joan Marie and get an opportunity to get personal advice.

Have a great day!

Full Moon (June 18th 2008) Spiritual Blessing

Tue, 13 May 2008 09:33:14 GMT

Hi All,

I have decided to conduct Spiritual Cleansing and Blessings not only for my benifit but for yours too.

Sometimes, I need to call on a higher power to guide and protect me in my life and I thought that I might share this exerience with whoever would like to be involved.

I am conducting a Spiritual cleansing and blessing on the night of the Full Moon. If you would like to me to focus my energy on you during my session please comment back.

Sun, 11 May 2008 08:31:59 GMT

Does anybody know any excercises which I could do daily which will strengthen my psychic ability?

Sun, 11 May 2008 00:14:28 GMT

Sometimes it is hard to brush off other peoples energies. I find i get quite exhausted and tired after a while, and i guess that just means im sensitive in my clairsentient gift. But to me the best way to clear this is through a form of meditation.

I will sit somewhere comfortable (anywhere that i am drawn to) and just listen. Sometimes, i close my eyes and let my vision sense take over.

I am most comfortable and relaxed when i let my natural gift come through for me and because of it i have realised that is how i waken my soul to its fullest potential.

Hi All,

I just wanted to say hello to everyone in this community.

Just a little about myself:

For a very long time, I've been quite aware of how "different" i was. It was only at about high school that i started to accept and embrace my natural abilities of clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience.

I noticed more vivid images, words, and feelings related to people around me.

With the validation from my friends (i had often just told them things and they would come back days or even weeks later saying what i said was correct) i started to nutrure my abilities at my own pace. I learned cleansing techniques, healing teachinques and reading techniques, all which have fine tuned me to who i am present.

I am not ashamed of my ability, and no one who possess some sort of connection to the spiritual realm should either. I embrace it and let it guide me to my rightful direction and purpose.

So that is why I am here! The journey of fine tuning ones ability will never cease especially if it is something that i feel strongly about. I joined this community so sthat i can better myself and also along the way better other peoples concerns as well.

I have been practicing my ability for about 7 years now and have slowly slowly been able to open up to my friends and family about my abilities. I guess the reading that i do for them all though out the years have validated it all for me.

If you are interested in a reading please, do not hesitate to contact me for more information: oracle.reading@yahoo.com.au

contact me if you feel that you are drawn to do so- that only means that we are ment to cross paths sometime in this lifetime.

once again, i am looking forward to hearing you comments and thoughts on topics that have been and will be posted within this community.

the last Abraham Hicks notes I'll be posting for awhile

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:40:03 GMT

Here are just a few more notes. I promise I'll stop now, ha.

*An uplifter is someone who, some way or another, connects to Core Energy so that you are vibrating in harmony with Source Energy and then holds that Tone, no matter what, so that others may acclimate to it.

*You can hold right where you are. Some want to do that. You can release most of what you are living and replace it with entirely new experiences. You can release a little bit here and add to it there...

*It's no different than changing the signal on your radio dial. The new tone can come that quickly. Somebody walks into your space, or the telephone rings and somebody rings into your space...

*"Sometimes, the thing that is not pleasing is so pressing in your experience. It's so in your face. It is so much affecting your physical senses that it seems nearly impossible to take your attention from it. And we say, in that case, just ride it out, and at your first opportunity take a nap or go to a movie or meditate. Do anything to break the 'evil spell' so to speak."

*"No matter how much attention you give to something that is happening, or even peripherally happening, in your experience, you achieve vibrational harmony with whatever it is, and it is our promise to you that Law of Attraction will give you more."

*If there is something you want that isn't coming, you aren't matching it with your vibration. If there's something you have that you want to get rid of, it can't leave because you're matching it vibrationally.

more Abraham quotes

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 05:27:00 GMT

Sorry if anyone's getting tired of these, but I just find them so uplifting and encouraging.

"When you have reached a place where a new, unfulfilled desire feels life-giving to you, then you have reconnected with who you really are."

"Sometimes when we talk about Allowing, people misunderstand and they think that Allowing means finding something unwanted and just putting up with it - allowing whatever it is to be, and not fussing over it. That isn't what we mean by Allowing at all. By Allowing, we mean, finding, through choosing thought, things that feel good when you think them, and practicing those kinds of thoughts that feel good so often that they become the dominant vibrational proclivity within you."

"When you are making the best of something, no matter how bad it is, it's got to get better."

"You could have 99 things going wrong in your life and one thing going right, and if you would beat the drum of that one thing going right, the other 99 would either have to go away, or improve, because Law of Attraction cannot abide in your vibration something that does not match."

"Sometimes going slower is the best choice in the moment, sometimes going faster is the best choice. There's no perfection in going fast, there's no wrong in going slow."

"...So many of you form relationships; they're good in the beginning, then they go sour, and then you reach for another; they're good in the beginning, then they go sour - and it is because most of you are not doing anything to stabilize your own dominant thought. You're just letting whatever floats across your 'television screen' so to speak, affect the way you feel. You have become audiences that have watched what's happening. Audiences that have allowed others to make a decision how you will feel."

"ALL things resolve themselves."

"Could someone, in their purity of vibration, throw out all your furniture vibrationally?...as they find vibrational harmony with their furniture, the Universe has the ability to find furniture that pleases you both. In this process, there is a magical blending. The Universe's ability to please you, on all fronts, is unlimited. But most physical Beings get in the way of it, right away - because they're 'sure' it can't happen. Energy has the ability to line up circumstances and events for the fulfillment of any amazing thing you have conjured or determined in your physical environment. All you have to do is be a vibrational match to it."

"You don't have to hammer anything into place. Universal Forces know how to make it happen. All you have to do is not be in the place of disallowance."

"One who is connected to the Energy Stream is more powerful than a million who are not. There is not enough action in the world to compensate for a misalignment of Energy."

"Most people who are acting to create, can create, at best, only mediocrity. When you allow yourself to focus upon something long enough that the Energy begins to move with you, it is effortless. Doors open. It's as if the entire Universe is conspiring - and it is - to assist you in what you're wanting. But most of you spend your actions rather than aligning your Energy, and then you feel overwhelmed because there is not enough action or you can't muster enough effort."

"Don't try to prove your worthiness through your effort or action, prove your connection to the Energy Stream."

"Whenever you say 'I don't have enough time,' that's the vibration that you offer, and you don't have access...thoughts to the way the world works without so much action."

"Creation is not and has never been about action. It has always been about alignment of Energy. When you focus upon alignment of Energy, time becomes irrelevant."

Message 23

ou are either creating from the past or you are creating from the now.

If you are creating from the past, all your creation will be flavored with your past memories, past feeling, past regrets, past beliefs. When you remain focused in each new now there is a flow of creating that unfolds with grace and ease. Each NOW is a portal. A timeless portal.
Imagine the skill needed to walk a tightrope; each step is in the now. If walkers allow themselves to think about the steps beyond the current one, they lose their focus and they lose their balance. It is by staying in the now, all energy focused on the current step, the task in the moment, that they complete the walk successfully.
When you stay present in each moment you are more available and able to hear clear guidance. Artists who begin to paint and become so focused that they lose all track of time are creating in each new now. When you remain focused in each new now, there is a flow of creating that unfolds with grace and ease.

You are always creating. So you are either creating from the past or you are creating from the now. If you are creating from the past, all your creation will be flavored with your past memories, past feelings, past regrets, past beliefs .

However when you learn to create in the fresh now, it is like a new canvas. If you stay in the past you create from the past; if you project your awareness into the future, you are also creating from the past.

Once this skill is mastered in your personal activities and hologame, you will become aware that each present NOW is a portal. A timeless portal. "

more of my notes from the Abraham materials

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 20:50:18 GMT

**You have only what you put in your own "pie" (your vibration) Nobody else can put it there. I like the way Abraham puts it - "[you say] 'They put it in their pie first, and some of it got in my pie'....none of it could have gotten in your pie if you hadn't had your nose in their pie."

**There is nothing I can't be or do or have, but I don't have to be or do or have it all right now. (This is something I have alot of trouble with, feeling like I'm not doing as much as I should be.)

**Contrast between your belief level and your desire level isn't pleasant, but you shouldn't decrease your desire level to match the belief level, because then nothing will change.

**There are problems in your future, but there are solutions right one the heels of them. You could close the gap betwen the problem and the solution so tightly that you'd never notice there was a problem: your problems can be solved before they manifest - when you clean up your vibration.

**When you decide to take the Emotional Journey on every subject that's important to you, you're going to discover how much better you can feel about things that you haven't been feling good about. In the moment that you change the way you fel, even a little bit, everything related to you and that subject will begin to shift and there will be evidence on your doorstep by the weekend.

**You're not stuck where you are, because things are constantly changing. If it feels like you're stuck, it's because they're changing to the same thing over and over again.

**Until you figure out how to change the way you feel, even though circumstances haven't changed yet, nothing will change.

**When you get to the place where your unfulfilled desire feels fresh like it did when you were a little child, you've returned to the vibrational stance that you have always intended.

**If you feel enjoyable desire pulsating through, you, it means you're somewhere in the vibrational proximity of your desire. If you don't feel a pleasing desire so much, it means you haven't yet achieved a close vibrational harmony with your desire. When you are close in vibration to your desire, the desire feels satisfying, interesting, life-giving. The further you are vibrating from your desire, the more it aggravates you and the more uncomfortable you feel.

Fun!

For all you people who know anything about "The Secret"...

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 04:30:20 GMT

.....is there really anything different there? I still haven't watched it, but from everything I've read, it seems to just be basic law of attraction stuff. Is there anything particularly interesting about it that I haven't read about elsewhere? Just wondering.
