How To Recharge And Find Inner Peace With Incense

Incense is unlike other kinds of perfumes because it is designed to spread fragrance to its target immediately, creating an atmosphere or setting a tranquil pace for whatever activity is intended.

Claim Your Energy Back: Detach Others’ Aka Cords

Why manage Aka cords

The aka cords can become negative attachments which drain your energy. Even aka cords amongst loving family members. For example, you can imagine the ‘drain’ from a mother who wants a son to go to graduate school doing accounting, while he knows inside himself that he must pursue a music career.

For professionals (eg Reiki practitioners) who do healing energy work for others, knowing how to manage aka cords is important. Clients may want to continue to draw energy from you after the session is over. This can be draining for the professional energy working. In addition, it can be ‘addictive’ for clients.

Anybody in my Reiki healing energy classes knows that I insist that after every session they first close the aura of the client and ‘lock in’ the Reiki healing energy in their client. Subsequently, they are to sweep their own aura and cut off all connections to the person they just worked on. Taking it one step further, when the client has left, I want them to wash their hands under cold water to further purify their own body. This way, clients don’t continue to draw energy through the aka cord.

Beyond this, when I after a client treatment find myself thinking about this client more than once, I do the ritual of cutting our aka cord again. It is not fair to myself nor other clients to have a continuous drain leading to someone else.

And last but not least, about once a month or so, I conduct an overall aka cutting ritual.

How to manage Aka cords, overall

In the Huna teachings, you first ask to be shown the beneficial cords. You send love, gratitude and blessings down these cords. Then, you ask to be shown ones that do no longer serve you. You cut these.

You can manage your own aka threads once you’ve first become aware of them. If you work with angels, you could ask your guardian angel to do it for you.

Sometimes, I cut all aka cords, knowing that the important ones (e.g. with my loved ones and family) will reestablish themselves. This simple ritual is particularly useful when I feel tired or drained and I can’t seem to figure out why I feel drained. The ritual results in an immediate shift whereby I feel much lighter.

Conclusion

Whether you choose to detach aka cords one by one as they materialize, or if you prefer to conduct a more rigorous aka cord cutting ritual from time to time, it is important to maintain only those that serve you.

I first stumbled upon the term ‘aka cord’ when giving a Reiki treatment for a very experienced and knowledgeable healer. At one point during the treatment, I felt the urge to symbolically ‘cut-off’ an attachment to a specific person for her. Symbolically, I held the attachment... 

World Action Day: Save the Environment

By participating in the blog community, I became aware of the blog – World Action. It is an initiative whereby thousands of bloggers write about a common, worthwhile topic: the environment. Great initiative!

Our blog, We Are One World Healing, is established to help heal the world/environment. This is its main purpose. I trust that anyone interested in genuinely healing the environment takes the time to register with us (free) and join our monthly 1-hour joint meditation/energy sessions to help heal the planet, its plants, its people.

Somewhere I read that ‘saving the planet’ should be renamed ‘saving humanity’. They are right. The planet is likely to survive our disasterous over-& misuse of its resources. It is humanity that has to worry instead about the holes in the ozone layers, global warming, and the rest of it.

So, lets all do our bit to help save our environment, and let’s do it together. We are one world. It is NOW time to say NO to paper or plastic shopping bags, YES to bicycles for basic transport, NO to gas guzzlers, YES to turning off car engines in front of traffic lights, HURRAY to foods with reduced packaging, etc. etc.

It is the summation of our little daily choices that can and will save the planet.

Sure, private energy consumption is just a fraction of commercial use. However, managers and politicians who go to work on their bikes, who buy foods in bulk, who recycle, and who make thousands of environmentally responsible choices at home are less likely to promote energy-misuse at work.

May you all have a great day.

To join our We Are One World Healing movement, you can register free on this website. The next upcoming session is October 26, at 9-10 AM PST. The top left menu of this blog has all the details. We look forward to you joining We Are One World Healing.

MY TOP 5
‘Choose the Companionship of Positive People Who Inspire You’ advises author Tupelo Kenyon at http://www.tupelokenyon.com wisely. “Life is too short to share your valuable time with people who drain your energy.” I love this ‘how to’ article.

Healing occurs more naturally when pain is not thought of as enemy. The focus is no longer about avoiding, and instead about what is desired or allowed. Www.loving-awareness.org ‘s article on the allowing of pain.http://www.loving-awareness.org/2007/09/01/the-allowing-of-pain/ is definitely one of my most favorite articles submitted. I enjoy reading it. Thank you, author Matthew Spears.

On http://ananga.squarespace.com/ananga-living-by-design-blog/, author Ananga Sivyer in Is Stress Keeping you at Boiling Point? offers Three Quick Tricks to Turn Down the Heat. I thought this was one of the best entries in the batch I received.

Todd at ‘We The Change’ (http://www.WeTheChange.com) offers an article the 5 greatest foods for your health at http://www.wethechange.com/the-5-greatest-foods-for-your-health/ A new blog with a good article. Check it out.

This is a real useful read for women who use birth control pills, who are pregnant or experience other hormone changes.

WELLNESS
(overall well-being, subtle vibrational work such as Reiki, excercise such as yoga)
Kevin Fleming from the Satellite TV Guru reports at
http://satellitetvguru.net/wellness-channel-launches-on-dish-network/

SELF-EMPOWERMENT
(overcoming challenges, how-to’s, anything that makes you say ‘good for them’.)

You got to love Raymond David Salas‘ article at zenchillcom.blogspot.com which explains how he used Story Waters’ 30-day-surrender technique to make ‘every day feel like my birthday’. Check out “How to discover your destiny” (http://zenchillcom.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-to-discover-your-destiny.html) . I don’t know about you, but when I spot the word ‘destiny’ these days I usually click away as so much of that stuff is bowwowwow. So, while initially being ‘put off’ by yet another ‘destiny’ article, this one actually was interesting. Intriguing in fact.

Gamy Rachel from http://www.mindthinksuccess.com/ contributes her article “Is your Mind helping you or hurting you?” at http://www.mindthinksuccess.com/brainwave-technology/is-your-mind-helping-or-hurting-you which is really part 2 of her post “Your Mind Receives Subliminal Messages Without Your Permission!” The article is this person shares positive events that came after practicing the law of attraction, which is always encouraging.

Well, I appreciate www.whatithinkabout.com blog’s insightful article http://www.whatithinkabout.com/why-you-should-show-appreciation/ on why, when and how to show appreciation. Thanks to the author Warren Wong.

Alex Blackwell presents us at www.thenext45years.com a list of ‘I believe’-quotes in
http://www.thenext45years.com/2007/09/i-believe.html that makes a nice, uplifting morning read.

Bob Crawford of www.bobcrawfordonline.com/serendipitywrote at ‘Create Your Day the BOB Way! Part One: Your Morning’ about one of life’s basic questions: “Are we human beings truly capable of creating our own future?” He asserts that we must manifest our desires if we are to have any chance of experiencing true peace and happiness in our life. An interesting article.

OTHER ASPECTS OF HEALING
(complementary therapy such as aromatherapy, other)

This article is a nice contrast to the above one by Ananga.
Marcella Chester of http://abyss2hope.blogspot.com wrote in her article http://abyss2hope.blogspot.com/2007/10/overreaction-to-irate-and-clumsy.htmlHighlights various situations where people in authority respond irresponsibly to irate or clumsy behavior of others. This is a survivor of aggression’s contemplation of abuse of power. It stirs emotion.

Author Ada Ozoh at http://www.menopauselifestyle.com contributes an article http://www.menopauselifestyle.com/blog/techniques-of-massage/ which explains the 4 basic techniques of massage and offers information about the use of aromatherapy in massage. In particular, it includes a list of essential oils that are useful during menopause.
