Steps Towards Spiritual Hygiene
1.
Prayer: we underestimate our own power to
self-protect and keep us out of the pathway of negative energy. Prayer is a
simple but effective tool one can do, regardless of religious or spiritual
affiliation to help keep your pathways free and in the clear. Below is a sample
prayer to illustrate the point. Feel free to substitute God for whatever
entity you pray to, and Amen with whatever valediction you prefer. Dear
God, I thank you for your blessings and protection. I ask that you continue to
keep me free and clear of any and all things that are not intended for my
highest good, that you allow me to see my enemies before they see me, so that I
may be victorious in my battles, and that you allow me to be in complete
alignment with my soul and my body so that I may know when there is unbalance,
and be able to make the necessary adjustments with your support and the support
of my ancestors. Amen.
2. Decalcifying
your pineal gland: this has been a massive boost to my spiritual hygiene and it
is very easy to do. The pineal gland is the site of the third eye chakra. It is
responsible for our spiritual sight and allows us to transmit messages from
between realms. Most people have calcified pineal glands by virtue of the
massive amounts of fluoride and calcium in our food and environment. It's
literally in everything: light bulbs, tooth paste, mouth wash, water, etc. While
it's hard to remove fluoride from everything you can make conscious decisions
about what products you use and substitute them for non-fluoride versions. In
addition you can incorporate into your health regimen herbs and supplements
that will decalcify the pineal gland. You make a tea using holy basil and
chlorophyll at least weekly. Use non-fluoride versions of toothpaste and mouth
wash. As your pineal gland starts to break free, you will start to receive an
increased volume of information from other realms, often times from your
ancestors or spirit guides. By establishing this communication you are in a
position to receive messages that you can use to make informed decisions on
just about everything. For those of you new to mediumship, I urge you to seek
out an experienced mentor who can assist you as your pineal gland begins to
clear.
3. Nature
Baths: I call these baths but really they are just extended periods of time
spent in nature amongst trees, oceans, mountains, lakes, rivers etc.
Intentional time spent in nature is known to have positive effects on health.
Though we are humans, we are still mammals and as much as we are accustomed to
concrete jungle and wireless internet, our native lifestyle actually involves a
life much closer to the bone. Meaning? Go to a beach and swim and sun bathe.
Take an extended walk in the park. Climb a tree. Bury your feet in the dirt.
Buy plants that purify your air and pump oxygen into your environment like
Ficus or Boston Fern.
4. Ban
technology: Yes I am being dramatic and unrealistic; however, it is a known
fact that all of our devices bring electronic smog into our home and work
environments. Studies are now saying that radiation from cell phones and other
mobile devices is not as innocuous as we once thought. The more
devices one has, the more smog one is exposed to. One quick way to reduce that
smog is to remove devices from your sleeping area, and/or turn them off
altogether when not in use. For many of us, that may not be possibility. A few
years ago, I researched and purchased crystals specifically for the purpose of
clearing the electronic smog from my home.
5. Spiritual
baths: this topic could take up an entire article as there is so much to say
about it but, in brief, the knowledge of the properties and preparation of
herbs and other organic materials combined with clear intention and stead fast
prayer to create a bath ritual for sloughing off negative energy, and bringing
in positive energy is an age old practice performed in a number of cultures
across various spiritual traditions. You do not have to be a priest or
priestess to make a spiritual bath; however, you do need to have at least
perfunctory knowledge of herbs, how to prepare them, and it is mandatory to
know how to pray out loud in order to imbibe the herbs with the energy of the
intent for which they are being used. More on this next week.
These are
suggestions that if carefully considered, and thoughtfully and regularly used,
will set you on the path to spiritual self-care and thus a richer more engaging
relationship with your social, natural, and energetic environments.
