"Emotional Alchemy - How the Mind Can Heal the Heart"
by  Tara Bennett-Goleman

Alchemists sought to transform lead into gold. In the same way, says Tara Bennett-Goleman, we all have the natural ability to turn our moments of confusion or emotional pain into insightful clarity. Emotional Alchemy maps the mind and shows how, according to recent advances in cognitive therapy, most of what troubles us falls into ten basic emotional patterns, including fear of abandonment, social exclusion (the feeling we don't belong), and vulnerability (the feeling that some catastrophe will occur). Through the simple practice of mindfulness taught in this book, we can free ourselves of such patterns and replace them with empathy for ourselves and others, as well as the freedom to be more creative and alive.

The Way of Healing and Light - Part IV
Breath - The Energy of Life

Continued from SpiritNews February2001

The energy needed to feed the human body is present everywhere, not only within the food we take in. At the present time the receptive organs to take in these energies are still underdeveloped in most of us. But already today there are people who practice what most of us would consider Utopia: to live without physical nourishment. This is indeed possible.

While this teaching does not have the purpose to convince you to renounce food starting tomorrow, it is intended to show that within the fullness of the divine power there is not only food, but there is energy in the pure form, and the more we learn to take in direct energy through our receptive organs, the more fulfilled we get on all levels of our being, physical, mental and spiritual. It takes a lot of practice and inner purity to reach the degree where we are able to make full use of the divine energy it is pure form. The process is started by practicing breathing exercises.

Deep breathing is a true fountain of youth. Try to find some time each day to breath deeply and feel how you take in the Divine Energy. Next, hold this breath within your body, and feel it flow through your blood, veins and through your whole system like the elixir of life or the water of this fountain of youth that this energy represent. Finally, make it your habit to release this breath back to the Universe with a blessing. This exercise will be a constant source of strength, comfort and well-being for you.

Once you understand that breath is life energy, and represent the presence of the Divine within the Human, you will be able to use it as a protection against emotional turmoil, fatigue, anger, and the like. You will learn to control your breath and to connect to higher planes by exercising conscious breathing.

All creatures on our Planet Earth use the light and the warmth of the sun to take in energy. But the Divine sends us rays still invisible to most of us today, which are more important than the physical sunlight. These rays contain the true life-force, the elixir that lets them grow and connect to their source. The earthly light is only the garment, it is the body of the true sunlight, which is the spiritual nourishment of all life. 

These pure spiritual light energies contain many virtues and characteristics which we inhale through our breath, and here again it is the same as with the physical and the more refined sunlight. The breath nourishes the body, it transports oxygen to the lungs and the cells, but it is the pure breath that transports the life-force. When you breathe deeply and consciously, along with the physical elements of oxygen you also inhale the pure elixir of life through your lungs and thereby nourish your light body.

When you do your breathing exercises, remember to take in not only 'air' but all of the pure light energies with all the Divine Forces they contain. The 'soul' of the physical breath will connect you with to these pure Divine Forces which are the true nourishment for your inner light.

Here are some breathing exercises:

Breath is life - and by breathing correctly and consciously you can improve the state of your physical body. Your physical body is the temple of a living God. By learning to control and consciously direct your breath, you can increase your body vibrations. Each cell get stimulated and cleansed from the impurities that have accumulated over time. Most people have become heavy under their own burden and feel fatigued and listless. These exercises will help you to improve the physical, the emotional and the spiritual body, if you take dedicate regular time to them.

Don't be discouraged if result don't show immediately. After some time you will realize that you feel lighter and more focused. You will look happier and feel calm and relaxed, and able to cope better with daily situation. Set aside a regular time for these exercises, which should be practiced twice daily for best results

First Exercise:

Use a count of 5 for inhaling and exhaling, and a count of 3 to hold your breath (when you gain more practice you can increase the count to 7 and 5).

Posture: straight, feet parallel to each other, arms hanging down to the side relaxed (shake your arms and hands for a while if you feel that they are not relaxed, then resume the posture).

Inhale, moving your arms forward and over your head until they form a straight line with rest of your body. Open your palms upwards.

Now hold your breath and visualize a white sea of light, flowing towards you from the Divine Power. 

Exhale, moving your arms back to the side, and hold your breath again.

Repeat this exercise 7 times. 

Now relax and affirm to yourself (aloud or silently):

"My physical body is a wonderful garment for my Divine Being working through my body. Each atom and each cell of my body absorbs the cosmic light of my Divine Presence. All is in Divine order, harmony and health. I am grateful for that."

Second Exercise:

With this exercise, we connect to the energy of the sun. If possible, we face the sun while doing this exercise or visualize the sun with our inner eye.

Use a count of 4 for inhaling and exhaling, and holding your breath (when you gain more practice you can increase the count to 6).

Posture as in the previous exercise. 

Inhale, extending your arms forward with the palms open upwards. See how the golden rays of the sun flow through you and direct your breath towards your heart. 

Then hold your breath. Next exhale, moving your arms back to the side and feel how the golden light fills every cell of your body. Now hold your breath again.

Repeat this exercise 7 times.

Relax and affirm to yourself (aloud or silently):

"I AM Light, I AM Light, I AM Light. I absorb the light with every cell of my body.   I am filled with light, and I am grateful for this light.

Third Exercise:

Almost everybody wants to feel young. We want to move harmoniously and radiate in inner happiness and joy. With this exercise we program our body towards this goal.

Use a count of 4 for inhaling and exhaling, and holding your breath (when you gain more practice you can increase the count to 6).

Posture as in the previous exercise. 

Inhaling, move your arms upwards above your head and then stretch both your arms and your head backwards. Holding your breath, bend forward until your fingertips touch the floor and back again. Now exhale and move your arms back to the side.

Relax and affirm to yourself (aloud or silently):

"I am filled with light that rejuvenates my body. I am filled with joy and energy, I feel alive and active. I am young, forever young."

Repeat this exercise 3 times.

We will continue The Way of Light & Healing in our Next SpiritNews.

We live in a material world with all the visible and tangible thing,
 and we live in an immaterial, spiritual world which often is
 mysterious and intangible.

The seemingly incompatible contraries and polarities make it 
difficult for us to find our way.

Heaven and hell, life and death, God and us, the here and the beyond,
you and I, day and night, yesterday and tomorrow, man and woman,
 near and far, poor and rich, body and soul, spirit and material -
 all of these are expressions of our split personalities.

Separations of all kinds are the result of these 
seeming contraries.

I am now ready to let go of  all separations and to live in the unity of the
 Here and Now. I am willing to give up all that can separate us. I am
 willing to make you more important than anything else in the world.
 I m willing to be a new person together with you -
 the one global human being.

Let's be inspired - Our Weekly Inspiration

With regard to inherited weaknesses, we must understand this first of all: Each one of us gets the parents that we either merit or deserve. By the inexorable working of the Law are we drawn to and born of parents whose Ray-vibrational content, whose conditions of life, whose physical make-up and mental and spiritual equipment are exactly suited to provide that which is to be our training ground for our spell in this world.

No-one can with truth and justice blame heredity or their family conditions for those misfortunes or  ailments which come their way. Each man has only himself to blame for every circumstance of his life. If his Ray-vibrational content had been different, if not these but other lessons had to be learned, then he would have been born of different parents in different circumstances.

You might be born a king, you might be born the Shah of Persia, or you might be born in a London slum. The circumstances in which you find yourself are exactly suited to your particular stage of development. It is your opportunity through effort, through the harnessing of the God-power within, through the learning how to open yourself to the inflow of God-power which is ever offering itself from the God-source, so can you use your circumstances as a stepping stone or  as a rung of the ladder that leads up to higher things.

So you can see that the man who is born into a family that has certain hereditary weaknesses, has drawn towards himself those weaknesses which manifest themselves in his bodily make-up. On the other hand those weaknesses may be there but through his own effort and Ray-vibrational progress he may succeed in refusing to allow those weaknesses to become a menace to him. He may turn the negative and destructive elements of those vibrational weaknesses into positivity. In other words he may find out how so to flood himself with God-rays, with God-consciousness, with the perfection of God-vibrations held in balance, that no negative element can find any more place within him. He can expurgate and cleanse himself in the purity of the God-rays.

So the Entity who has in the past tied knots and tangles in her life-beam, may feel an urgent desire to have the opportunity to straighten out those knots and tangles, which by their presence hinder her progression. Their presence within her Ray-vibrational content makes it possible for her to take on a body whose hereditary line includes a weakness in some physical elements.

The entity is thereby put in the way of working through an experience (say of cancerous pain) that will through the effort conquer the pain split open the Core to a great intake of god-rays, thereby smoothing out the tangles in the life-beam. Thereafter the Entity is free.
