There can be a lot of confusion about the human energy system, or it is sometimes completely overlooked. However, just as it is essential to understand the brain, organ system, or musculature system to promote health and wellbeing, so too must we be able to grasp our energetic inner workings.

The Physical Plane - The Etheric Body

The etheric body is a vessel that carries us through and interacts with our life experiences.  This is the plane that we associate with our humanity and personhood.  The Etheric Body is both influenced and influences the Astral and Causal bodies or the Emotional and Mental Body, respectively.

The Etheric Body's principal components are the nadis, chakras, and the aura.

The Nadis - The pulse, blood vessel, or pipe in Sanskrit, nadir carry vital life force energy to the chakras, like an electric plug or cord.  There are 3 primary nadis; unblocking them and achieving perfect energy flow contribute to liberty and ascension.

The Chakras - Wheel or disk in Sanskrit, a chakra is an energy center that is both fed and feeds the nadir, keeping Prana flowing through the Etheric Body, like the motor of an electric car, it charges its own battery, but also needs to be plugged in for an added boost.

The Aura - The residual energy that the Etheric Body casts off creates an electromagnetic field that is the first auric layer.  This layer only extends about an inch or two from the physical body.

The Emotional Plane - The Astral Body

As discussed, the emotional plane is both influenced and influences the mental and physical planes.  It is why stress causes tension headaches and indigestion, or depression and anxiety change the chemistry of our brains.  Dis-ease across one energetic Body can cause contagion across all three! This is why wholistic healing is integral.

The Astral Body's principal components are the chakras and the aura.

The Chakras - In the Etheric Body, the chakras facilitate our corporeal experience.  In the Astral Body, the chakras facilitate our emotional experience.  7 primary Astral chakras keep our emotional energy flowing and balanced.  The healthy flow of these energy centers allows us to process and fully experience our emotions.

The Aura - The Astral aura extends 12-24 inches beyond the body.  It is the energy field people refer to when discussing reading, shielding, and strengthening the aura.  It is our protective and personal energy field.  the aura is a source of energy for your chakras yet is also fed by the chakras' frequencies.

The Mental Plane - The Causal Body

The Causal Body or Mental Plane is further divided into the Mental Sub-Plane and the Causal Sub-Plane.  One could define the distinction as cognitive function vs. higher consciousness.  It is also differentiated by what the sub-planes generate. The Mental Body's output is tangible or quantifiable, like a heart rate or an I.Q. test.  whereas the Causal body's output is intangible or metaphysical.

Again, the Mental Plane is both influenced and influences the Physical and Emotional Planes.  This is why anxiety can cause palpitations or thinking of a departed loved once can make us feel sad.

Mental Sub-plane

Cells & Structures - Orchestrating the delicate balance between bodily systems, this level of functioning is what informs our cardiovascular system, circadian rhythms, metabolism and more.  It is also how a cell knows it is a part of the earlobe and not grey matter or a fingertip.

Concrete Intellect - Responsible for your higher-cognitive functioning such as memory, problem-solving, concentration, and conceptualization.  It is the part of the brain that follows a recipe, performs algebra, and conceives innovative business ideas and artistic concepts for creative explorations.

Higher Mind - Like the concrete intellect, the Higher Mind is the source of conceptualization and creativity, but to the nth degree!  It is where great ideas are formed. Prolific thinkers like Leonardo DiVinci, Marie Curie, and Einstein spend their lifetimes uncovering the gems of the Higher Mind.

Causal Sub-plane

Karmic Load - We generate karma for every thought, word, and act.  In rudimentary terms, the good we create and the healing we achieve are credit.  Whereas the harm we cause or stagnation we allow are debt.  Their sum is our karmic load.  Karmic load is why we are accountable for balancing from previous lifetimes.

By accessing and healing karmic debt, we can clear the energy in the Astral and Etheric Bodies, fostering wellbeing and furthering ascension.  Keep in mind we are not canceling the karmic load.  By accessing it through QHHT, for instance, we learn from it and evolve beyond it.  It is my understanding, from the teachings of Dolores Cannon, that the current generation and subsequent generations are given opportunity to erase it for ascension purposes to New Earth.

Belief Systems - the beliefs formed on the Causal Sub Plane permeate our Causal, Astral, and Etheric bodies.  They are the cumulation of our experiences and affect what experiences we seek moving forward.  When left in unawareness, they can create toxic patterns that perpetuate victimhood, abusive tendencies, and addiction.  This is due to attracting and manifesting circumstances that sustain the ego-based self-image for better or for worse.

For example, if we believe we are sickly, unintelligent, or emotionally damaged, we will manifest people and events that perpetuate this belief.  It's essential to recognize that these beliefs can be planted by a parent, teacher, spouse, etc.  They don't have to begin with us to grow roots.  Of course, we are free to pluck these weeds whenever we are ready.

Soul Light - The soul cannot be found in the Etheric, Astral Bodies, or Mental Sub-Plane of the Causal Body.  It can be accessed through the Causal Sub-Plane.  As such, we maintain some level of autonomy from the soul.  The Soul Light is the light of the eternal soul or psyche and, in turn, carries a level of sovereignty from us.

The soul is an infinite entity, existing throughout all of our lifetimes, meaning we have much to learn from it.  Interestingly, the soul also evolves based on the life experiences we seek and navigate, carrying the wisdom into the next lifetime.

We could think of it as a hard drive that connects to a computer.  The computer can download from the drive, and the drive can upload from the computer.  Yet, both maintain individuality, and the hard drive can be carried from device to device or lifetime to lifetime.

Final Thoughts...

"The soul is not ruled by time or space.  It is infinite..."  And yet, you have the power to shape it.  Wield this power with the total awareness of who you are on every plane, in every Body.

By Lori Lines

Free will is a divine gift that endows each and every one of us with our own inner divinity. While a great endowment, the freedom to choose means every day we must choose between conscious and unconscious acts, positive vibrations and negative, right and wrong.
 
Inevitably, some people will choose unconscious or willfully hurtful behavior, leaving you feeling hurt, betrayed, angered, or disappointed. Since free will is their divine birthright, you can do nothing to change them or their hurtful actions. 

Don’t be mistaken! This does not mean you have no power and are left with no recourse. You have the same birthright of choice. Whether these painful circumstances were pre-destined, to help you learn and grow, or they are weaponized use of someone else’s free will, you get to decide whether you will build a staircase to ascension on them or let them drag you down like an anchor in a sea of emotions. 

Though not the easiest path, the most constructive is to choose to cast off the mantle of victimhood and don the armor of victory. However, understand when you remain the victim, you are just as responsible for your path as choosing to be a victor. The hurt, helplessness, disempowerment of people who refuse to take responsibility for their own healing is their burden to carry. While it may seem like an injustice, there comes the point when the person who wounded them is no longer held accountable for the impact on the injured person’s life path.
 
The Road to Healing

If you choose to take back your power, bravo! Although it may be challenging spiritual work, you are more than capable of realigning yourself with your path and purpose. Keeping in mind that healing looks different for everyone, the following guide may help shape your journey of empowerment.
 
The first step in your healing journey is to accept that the other person may never acknowledge they’ve done anything wrong. Accepting that painful truth is essential because it gives you back your power. If you can’t rely on them to right the wrongs, you will seek your own resolution.

In the “light and love” society we live in, there tends to be a lot of spiritual and emotional bypassing. You must give yourself permission to feel all your feelings, including anger. It is only by facing your hurt that you will be able to release it- you can’t clean out the basement without unpacking it first!

Once you have explored your pain, there is no need to linger there. Focus on the present. That is where your healing takes place, after all. You may want to come up with a healing affirmation to reorient you to your present and purpose, such as “I am present, I am powerful, I am progressing” or any other easy-to-remember positive declarations. 

Above all, be gentle with yourself! Perhaps you will find release in journaling, discussing (not dumping!) the events with a trusted friend or counselor, or seeking therapies like QHHT to dive deeper into the wisdom underlying your pain. Treat yourself like a dear friend, showing yourself compassion because we are all works in progress. 

Remember, “you can be a work in progress and a masterpiece simultaneously!”

The late great Dolores Cannon used to ask her ailing clients, "are you willing to give up what is making you sick?"  She would ask this question in the wake of a QHHT® hypnosis session.  While this question may seem harsh to some, it's simplicity gives rise to our own empowerment as more of us awaken to our responsibility tending  to our thoughts, actions and emotions that block us and make our lives...well..."sick."

The majority of the people in the world are living mechanical lives based on social conditionings and false beliefs instilled in us since childhood and beyond.

Our inharmonious thoughts and feelings, our desires and our compulsive behaviors create major blocks which densify our bodies and lower our vibrational frequency so that we become vulnerable to the negativity (or our created negative energy) around us.  Consequently, individuals attract situations and people of similar energies based on the cosmic principle of "like attracts like."

Mental blocks are nothing but dark energies stagnated in our consciousness over long periods of time.  These blocks can unconsciously be held within parts of our bodies, too.  When we cling to our negativity and appropriate our woes and sadness, we unwittingly trap them into our subconscious being, where they gradually crystallize into mental, physical and emotional blocks that affect us adversely at all levels.  These blocks obstruct the divine flow of energy into our being and can shift us out of alignment with our Source, so that all our thoughts and emotions are tainted with pessimism.

Our conscious-awareness is a sentry that guards our thoughts and feelings from straying away from the Source Light of Love and Peace.  When some outside situation provokes us to anger, fear, hatred and the like, we must be aware of our emotions and our inner dialogue that expresses those emotions.  It's important for us to be in control of our emotions before they overwhelm us.  

How to take control?  Take a pause, watch your negative emotions as a passive spectator.  Acknowledge each emotion that comes up, with: I am feeling "anger"...or I am feeling "fear" and so on.  Observe your emotions without allowing them to ruffle your feelings.  Your quiet vigilance prevents the discordant emotions to take possession of your heart, mind, even your body, and keeps them under control.  Do not be tempted to resist and analyze them or reason with them, but simply be with them until they subdue and dissolve into stillness.

With the power of presence we can get rid ourselves of  mental/emotional blocks and choose to lead a wholesome life, free from the compulsions of our negative thoughts.

It's helpful to challenge our fears that pose as obstructions to our success and well-being, and dare to break free from our comfort zone for a more enterprising life.  Know that fears are illusory by nature, and appear real only as long as we give it our energy to dominate over us.  Fears enfeeble the mind and cripple the spirit.

Similarly, it helps to be conscious of our mental activity at any given time.  It is typical of the mind to drift off to its shady haunts of dismal memories, bringing with it the dark remnants of pain and sorrow which cloud our present moment of sunshine and happiness and steep us into our own misery.  Your conscious-awareness repels untoward thought, allowing only those which are in keeping with our health and well-being.

When you catch yourself drifting down the bleak memory-lane, stop your thoughts right dead in their tracks and immediately replace it with that which uplifts your spirit and evokes joy in your heart. If the thought hangs on, I affirm, "I nullify this thought so that it does not enter into my subjective mind." It is helpful to engage in constructive activities that are instrumental in increasing mental cheerfulness and better concentration.

Life is not meant to be taken so seriously.  If we learn to laugh in the face of our trials and tribulations, we can understand that hardships are merely the lessons of life that we need to go through for our own spiritual progress.  These are transient - here, one minute and gone the next.

If we refuse to internalize other people's aggressive behavior towards us, we rise to the understanding it is nothing personal - it is just their way of releasing their inner turmoil and pent-up frustrations.

So, go ahead and dare to laugh when ordeals compel you to cry; dare to love and forgive your enemies when they provoke you to anger and hatred; dare to be resilient when the blows of life bear down on you so that you are able to bounce back good and strong once they are through with you; dare to remain anchored in the Light of Peace when fears threaten to close in on you and jeopardize your happiness.

Shadows and sunshine are a part of one's spiritual journey.  You have to allow yourself to move on and enjoy the ride.  Keep moving onward and upward, and look forward to new changes that bring with them surprises and opportunities.

Cast burdens onto your Higher Power and live free like a child who is filled with hope and wonderment.  Find joys in the simple things in life.  A happy heart is a healthy heart.  Afflictions and maladies can cease to exist in a body that resonates with true peace and joy.

Though easier said than done, practicing presence and vigilance over our hearts and minds requires persistent effort and a sense of responsibility on our parts. It is a pre-requisite in order to gain mastery over self and to live by the power of our souls so that we become a source of attraction for Universal Peace, Abundance, Health, and Prosperity.

Hearing ringing in your ears of late?  Did you know this is a form of clairaudience?  For those of you who do not know what the word clairaudient means, it is the faculty of perceiving, by hearing, what is inaudible.

What is happening in our world, as many of you are moving up the ascension ladder from a 3 dimensional reality to a 4 and 5 dimensional reality, is the light forces and the dark forces are using psychic toning to either help or to hinder our soul's enlightenment to truth.  Psychic toning is something we really want to be aware of and to pay attention to.  If you have been on the spiritual path, releasing false beliefs and releasing all dark emotions that weigh you down and entering into your own light of truth, you may be noticing  various tones from very high to low.  Some tones are high and some are not.  The ringing may last for long periods of time or they may come in shorter duration.  

Those who are not spiritually awakening either may not notice this phenomena or they may notice low vibrational frequencies only.

The important thing to notice is how they make you FEEL.  Noticing and acknowledging the toning is very important.  Why?  Because they are asking you to pay attention to your emotions, how you feel, at the time you notice the tones and their shifting frequencies.  Some tones will make you feel happy and some will make you feel agitated, angry, sad (the emotions of the darkness within.)

What is happening is something is vying for your attention.  Do not feel fearful about this.  You have control over the tones you hear, whether you want to hear them at all.  If you like them, fine. If you don't, that's fine too.  But, if you are hearing them and you find your moods swinging too much or the tones are too strong, ask your Angels and Guides or your Higher Self, of the highest order for the highest good, to tone it down.  Tell them if the tones are too loud or too intense. You will begin to notice the difference as your prayer is answered.

In my experience, higher tones tend to make me feel better.  My Guidance tells me that when this is happening, I'm receiving delivery of upgrades to my frequency, light codes, and my DNA.  Therefore, I accept them, with gratitude, to the Angels, Guides, and Masters.

For me, when I am hearing the really high tonal frequencies, someone is saying or thinking something very positive about me.  Conversely, when I hear the low tones, depending on how loud they are determines just how loud someone is talking about me.  So, if someone is really angry or upset with me, in some way, I will hear it in a low tone and their essence will be made known to me.  If they are really, really projecting anger toward me, the tonal frequency becomes so intense that I know I have to spiritually protect myself from psychic attack.  

I've learned through these negative experiences of tonal frequencies that I am in control of this and that I do not need to know who is reacting negatively to me.  It's none of my business what others think.  Remembering that our world is a free-will zone, I am given the advance notice to make the choice to stay in a positive frame of mind or to react negatively.  When we react positively and centered in the neutrality of love, we are staying in a higher frequency (in the 4D and the 5D reality.)  When our emotions react negatively, there are dark forces that feed on and harvest the negative energy of that emotion and it is spread out among us.  We get to choose.

​Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the Black Plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease.

Spring means rebirth and this month she arrives when streams are ripe and swelled with rain and till May she will stay. Autumn is when she dies and then winter is when she hibernates till Spring comes back with sun and green and great exuberance to wake her up again! Isn’t the cycle of life simply and gloriously marvelous!

Spring is time for all-out cleaning to get rid of the dank and damp as well as the toxins that have accumulated - creating a heavy air inside and around the house and your loved ones in it. Spring signals rebirthing. It signals a time for protecting your home with essential oils. Bring nature out of your bottles and start dispersing life the natural and safe way with homemade cleaning products for a sparklingly clean house and healthy auras for everyone.

You can make your own cleaning products using our essential oils. No dangerous and bad-smelling chemicals this way. We can use lots of vinegar, lemon, soap, salt, water and baking soda but no imitation scents that intoxicate the liver and lungs. For essential oils, we recommend adding a few drops to your homemade cleaning solution to create a clean and green scent all over your home.

Let natural be the chemical free scour and polish for your toilet bowl, cutting boards, furniture, floors, walls, windows, comforters, clothes, and even inside your car. Add a few drops of natural Essential Oils for that pure and refreshing, sparkling essence of cilantro, grapefruit, vanilla, tea tree, lemon.

These oils not only clean and remove stains, they are also natural anti-microbials and anti-bacterials.  They are often times more powerful than dangerous chemicals, that they clean better, remove smells better and leave a fabulous aroma after cleaning, and as a bonus, they also disinfect. Let’s take a look at some of them:

Essential Citrus Oils – Citrus Fresh, Lemon - these are extracted from real lemons and is often the favorite of most home owners. Guaranteed to enliven your home. Just add a few drops to your baking soda or to a pail of water for mopping. It also dazzles your laundry.

Tea Tree, Lavender and Cedar oils – are perfect for your furniture especially your upholstery. Two drops in a spray bottle with distilled water and some alcohol will leave your fabric smelling clean and fresh.

Eucalyptus, Citrus, and Camphor Oils – are perfect for your books and bookcases and cabinets which have collected dust and molds during winter. A few drops in a paper bag filled with newspaper and kitty litter for a couple of days will give your books that fresh and clean smell. For mold and mildew, the most trusted is water with white vinegar mixture but white vinegar is not too pleasant to smell so we recommend adding these oils to bring back the fun in your home's library.

Peppermint Oil is perfect as an anti-bacterial solution. Add this to your vinegar-water solution and squirt over your sink, toilet bowl, tiles and kitchen surfaces. Rats and cockroaches also are terrified of peppermint so they stay away.

Tea Tree Oil has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal as well as antiseptic properties. 2 teaspoons to a glass or stainless spray bottle will clear away the gunk that has accumulated in your bathroom and shower areas. It is medicinal and has a lovely smell and should be used all over your home. You can even add it to your laundry detergent for a clean and healthy smelling load of clothes.

For a good night’s sleep, just add two drops of roman chamomile, lavender, marjoram, clary sage and lindenberry into your humidifier or add it to your laundry detergent for sweet smelling linen and a good night’s sleep.

For a romantic evening, use the scent of our essential rose, rosewood, ylang ylang, jasmine or geranium. They are mild but effective aphrodisiacs!!

More Uses
Use a few drops of citrus, spruce, cypress, pine, sandalwood or birch on a pan of baking soda to remove the sooty smell of your fireplace. And before storing winter clothes in their boxes, do not use moth-balls. Use instead a few drops of cedarwood. rose, lavender or geranium on an old sock ball to keep pests away.

There are a hundred household uses of essential oils. For the body, which has become adjusted to the cold climate of winter, get ready for the warmer months by massaging your muscles and joints with one or a combination of  olive oil, eucalyptus, tea tree, chamomile, juniper, cypress, spruce and black pepper. For mental clarity and stimulation, peppermint, lemon, basil, tea tree or cypress would be perfect.
