Life is a journey … and when we go on Journeys — like when we go on a vacation to a new place — we often come to learn things about that destination, the people, the logistics, which restaurants were great, which hotels were not so great, that sort of thing. When we find out that somebody else is going to that same location on vacation, what is our natural tendency? Our inclination is to offer to share what we’ve learned to make that person’s experience easier.

Same thing with a healing journey, which sometimes becomes a spiritual journey. As we explore, we find out that other people have done a similar journey already and have come back with information about what really works. We call those people spiritual teachers (or gurus). On some level, a spiritual teacher is like a travel agent who can tell you about this ‘foreign land’ of the inner world — the spiritual world — the amazing places to go, what’s not so great to do, and what to avoid! (this part is very important*).

How are your eyes feeling? Dry? Tired? Just about everyone is spending too much time staring at screens these days, and we are feeling the effects of that in our eyes. The thing is, people are experiencing more than their eyes just feeling physically dry and tired, their eyes are also feeling energetically stiff and stuck.

What most people don’t realize is that there are more than just physical remedies to help our eyes feel better.  Of course, using things like eye drops can help! But because there’s more going on energetically when we stare at a screen, often we need more than just drops. We could use some energy tools to help shift the “stuckness.” Here are some quick and easy energy techniques to help our eyes feel clear and relaxed.  I’ll show you three you can choose from.

I remember some years ago, while I was still new to all this energy stuff, I was standing in the kitchen, washing the dishes, minding my own business, and I had this awareness, this thing happen … I don’t know if it was physical or visual or psychic — or what you would call it — but it was like this energetic text message from my husband saying something was happening and he needed my help. Maybe you’ve had a similar experience.  It was kind of wild and crazy experience for me at the time.  So I texted him and … he didn’t answer. When he did get back to me, I found out that he had decided to go to the doctor’s office for his allergies and had gotten an allergy shot. One of those steroid shots. And that he was okay.  (Whew!) 

The 4^th of July holiday is here – people playing with fireworks, BBQ’s, campfires on the beach, more time in the sun.  The one thing these have in common?  The possibility of being burned.  So let’s be prepared!

Once all the physical first aid is done, it’s time to start the energy first aid.  Pranic Healing is based on the principle that wherever there is a physical injury, there is a corresponding energetic imbalance.  The faster we can re-balance the energy, the quicker the physical body can heal itself.  The technique we use to re-balance the energy field is “Local Sweeping.”  You could do the local sweeping process for 50-100 sweeps, or until the pain goes away.  Repeat as often as needed, particularly in the hours immediately following the burn.

This is the answer for people who say, “I have no time to meditate…” because the good news is, that you’re always breathing … we just need to tweak it a bit! Most people use the muscles of the neck and upper back/shoulders to breathe, which actually only activates the fight or flight nervous system. Instead, when we want to shift out of “fight or flight,’ we do that with deep breathing.
