LEGACY OF THE DIVINE TAROT
9 OF SWORDS: You may be feeling a bit of anxiety and stress, which are caused by fear. To get yourself out of a space of negativity, start thinking of something positive rather than expecting the worst. Sometimes we become our own worst enemies by dwelling on what is wrong, what may or may not happen, and dreading rather than looking forward to what is to come. You have the power to change any fear-based thoughts into positive ones that are rooted in love.
THE WORLD: The next two weeks will lead to joy, contentment, and a sense of fulfillment in some area of your life, so release all that is holding you back and enjoy what the immediate future holds. You have worked hard to get to this point, even if you think you have not done much. Every little step forward that you take is a step in the right direction, so celebrate each success, no matter how large or small.
THE LOVERS: Partnerships and working with others will play a role in the upcoming weeks. Use discernment when making choices, which means to observe without judgment. Decide on the best course of action for you as objectively as possible and move on. Support from others will enter the picture, so be cooperative and grateful for any help received.
BI-WEEKLY THEME: Although you may be feeling a bit anxious at the start of the week, you have the ability to change any fear-based thoughts by paying attention to what you are thinking and replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Once you do this, you can look forward to a beautiful time where you give yourself a pat on the back for exactly where you are now and what you have accomplished. Look for partnerships to come to the forefront as you realize the value of support from others and are discerning in the choices you make.

You may have heard of energy healing, or energetic healing,
or energy medicine. One author describes
it as “. . .any umbrella term for any therapy that manipulates the energy
circuits in our physical or subtle bodies to regain balance and facilitate our
body’s innate healing mechanisms.” (http://www.healingenergy.com.au/energetic
healing.shtml)
The energy field surrounding the body is referred to as the
aura or biofield. Other energetic
systems in the body are nadis, chakras, and meridians. Nadis are energy channels in the subtle body
that connect to the chakras, which are energy centers. Meridians are a network of channels running
throughout the entire body through which life energy (chi, qi, or prana) flows.
It is believed that illness or dis-ease
is caused by disturbances or blockages in these energy fields.
Some different types of therapies to get the energy fields
in balance include:
Ø
Reiki Ø Reflexology
Ø Acupuncture
Ø Acupressure
Ø Tai chi and QiGong
Ø Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Ø Crystal healing
Ø Color therapy
Ø Light and sound therapy
Ø Aromatherapy and use of essential oils
The author referenced above goes on to say that there are
many things that cause our energy fields to get disrupted, such as the
following internal factors:
Ø
TraumaØ Phobias
Ø Anxiety and stress
Ø Childhood programming
Ø Limiting beliefs
Ø Remaining in situations that are not in harmony with our needs
External factors include:
Ø Environmental toxins and pollutants
Ø Poor nutrition and diets that include too many unnatural ingredients
Ø Lack of exercise
Ø Poor posture
The basis for energy
healing
Energy healing is rooted in the fact that everything is
energy. David Cameron says this: (as
cited in http://www.one-mind-one-energy.com/energy.html)
“It (energy) is the building block
of all matter. The same energy that
composes your flesh is the same one that composes the bricks of your house and
the trees outside. It is all the same.
It is constantly at flow, changing form all the time. This is a very simple
explanation of a rather complex thing.”
Thus, we can conclude that our bodies are nothing but energy. They are filled with cells containing energy
called mitochondria (“cellular power plants”). These cells are made of
molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of sub-atomic particles. These sub-atomic particles are pure energy, as proven by quantum physics. (See Blog
#14—"The Power and Science of Belief" for more information on this.) Not only
that, but everything affects everything else because all of energy is connected
to all other energy (the “Quantum Entanglement Theory”). There is a sea of energy or an energy field
all around us.Think of it this way, as one author puts it:
“All material things are made of
atoms. . .which are 99.99999 percent energy and .00001 percent matter. Think
about it—every physical thing in our life is not solid matter but rather fields
of energy or frequency patterns of information.
Matter is more ‘no-thing’ (energy) than ‘some-thing’ (particles). Our
physical bodies and the body of the physical Universe are as proportionately
empty as is all of space.” (http://www.thehealersjournal.com/2013/05/05/quantum-physics-explain-how-everything-is-made-of-energy/)
So isn’t it about time we start focusing our attention on
the 99.99999 percent of what makes up our physical world? Actually, our ancestors from the earliest
times knew far better than we do about how important energy is. Energy healing
was used in ancient times and only recently is starting to come into the
forefront in our society, thanks to the discoveries of quantum physics. No
longer are the body and mind seen as separate; rather, a more holistic approach
is being used as it is realized that the body and mind are connected.
How energy healing
works
Everything is made of energy, which is invisible (like air)
but yet is the basic building block of our whole reality. This means that our thoughts and emotions are
energy. The difference in the
vibrational frequencies of energy is what gives us the illusion of substance
and separation. For example, when water
changes from a gas (steam) to a liquid to a solid (ice), its vibration is just
going from a faster rate to a slower one.
These authors explain how energy healing works:
“The energy systems of the body
(aura, chakras, nadis and meridians) are connected energetically to our
physical organs, glands and bodily systems.
When the energy supplied to these bodily systems is disrupted, the body
organs and systems are less able to defend against disease and injury.” (http://www.healingenergy.com.au/energetic
healing.shtml)
“Healers attract
positive energy from the unified energy field and through their own energy
field, transmit that energy to the patient, thus changing the patient’s own
energy field. They also clear the blocked energies that prevent free flow of
energy in the body, allowing the body to heal itself.” (Chris Grosso in http://www.in5d.com/ancient-secrets-the-truth-about-energy-healing.html)
Conclusion
Energy healing works
simply because we are energy. In our
technology-related and scientific-based society we are led to believe that
anything invisible does not exist.
However, as more scientific knowledge is gained, we are beginning to see
that our physical world is but a small, small part of our true reality. Once we understand this, grasp the full impact
of this concept and believe it to be true, energy healing can be an extremely effective treatment for imbalances in the mind and the body.
