The Language of Energy: Everything Speaks, Even Your Tattoos

    Before you put on your favorite scent, slip on your ring, or decide to get inked with a new tattoo, think about the energy that you are adorning yourself with either for the day or  in the case of tattoos, marked for a longer duration.

    The things you wear such as jewelry, tattoos, scents and talismans all have an energetic effect on you.  Tattoos can bring on big problems if they are not the correct talisman for you to wear and certain scents alter your own subtle body vibration.  How many of us even realize that jewelry has to be frequently cleared because gem stones and metals are not only magnets for errant energy flying around but can also amplify situations by holding energetic charges.

    Let’s start with your closet.  Holy shit!  It can actually be an energetic, toxic waste dump full of emotionally charged item.  Everything speaks in the language of energy. The blue shirt you had on when you had a bad day at work will actually hold the emotional imprint of your experience.  Does that mean that you have to trash certain items of clothing?  You can wash them and get them dry cleaned to remove the surface charge but you really have to go deeper to clear the emotional connection to that item.  Even if you choose to never wear that certain piece of apparel again it can ping off of the other items in your wardrobe.  Seriously! 

   Look through your closets and drawers and run your hands over the contents.  See what provokes a certain memory, either good or bad, and be brave.  Toss things that are keeping you stuck in the past and make space for new beginnings.  We form attachments to “things” in the material world that anchor us in, via emotional energy cords.  On a subtle level these cords continue to feed us vibrational messages.

   I hear people tell me all the time about their “lucky” tie or scarf because every time they wear it something positive happens in their life.  Sounds crazy but it is actually true.  Certain items can become personal talismans for you.

   Get rid of or donate items that loop you back into negative experiences such as the outfit you had on the day you got divorced or lost your job.  By the way-if you donate things that seem to emotionally creep you out make sure that you sage them off before putting them in the donation bin so some unsuspecting person doesn’t fall prey to the charged item.  Energy can be passed on if the emotional charge is strong enough. 

      The same is true if you like to shop in a thrift store.  Before you bring any used item into your personal space hold it and feel the energy.  Pull it close to you and see if you spontaneously move forward or backwards because your own energy field will react to the vibrations of what you are touching.  I don’t care how much it visually appeals to you.  Put it down if you feel a ping coming from your chakra zones.

     Jewelry especially can hold and amplify energy.  Jewelry has been used over the ages not only for adornment but also for magical purposes.  The metal that the jewelry is made from along with the gems holds specific energetic resonances with your own energy field. 

    Wearing a ring on a specific finger also influences the way that your personal bling interacts with you. For instance the thumb is with water representing emotions. The pointer finger is linked with fire energy for action and creativity. The middle finger is associated with spirit energy. The ring finger is for earth energy and grounding. The pinky finger is associated with air energy and stimulates the mind.

    Consciously be aware that certain gems may look pretty but can actually stifle you if they are not the right vibration for you.  Every gem and metal is associated with a planetary influence hence forth we all have a particular birthstone.  Also, regularly clean and clear your jewelry.  Gems are sponges for vibration energy that you are exposed to including your own emotional energy.  They can hold your “thought form energy” and magnify it up a few decimals.

     Necklaces usually hit at your throat chakra and sometimes even link into the energy of the close by heart chakra.  Be cognoscenti of the metals and gems that bridge into this very sensitive area of your subtle body.  Even though certain things may match your outfit they can create vibrational havoc.  Keep reminding yourself-“everything speaks to us in the language of energy.”

     The scents that we choose to splash on also can alter your vibration.  That sexy fragrance you bought may actually act as a repellant.  Always read the ingredients because certain fragrance notes interact with you, your jewelry and emotions.  You don’t want to walk around being an energy waste dump by combining incompatible energies. 

      Now on to tattoos.  Tattoos have been popular throughout the ages.  In some cultures tattoos are seen as a rite of passage because they hold specific spiritual significance.  Before you ink up take note as to what you are imprinting onto your body.  That cool skull and cross bones or screaming dragon may look good as art but it can mark you as a magnet for a lot of bullshit down the road.

      A lot of people get tattoos that represent how they feel about themselves at a particular moment and this becomes a permanent talisman.  That crazy, drunken night when you decided to make a social statement will forever link you into that time.  Also, where you choose to place your tattoo is significant in the language of energy.  Make sure you want that colorful talisman before you get it because tattoo removal can be a real bitch.

      To find out more about the vibrational significance of certain scents and gems read The Book of Transformation, specifically Chapter 7 http://www.newpagebooks.com/?section=home&product_id=511

       As always, I recommend clearing out your space of unnecessary items, sage off things that may have been exposed to negative situations, and above all else, listen to the subtle language of energy.

Cleaning by Clearing: Maintaining your subtle body space

There is a lot to be said about the phrase, “cleanliness is next to Godliness.” When your energy field is clean your natural spiritual senses like intuition, spiritual guidance, and positive manifestation will begin to operate at an optimum level. Negative energy charges picked up from our environment, other people, and situations has the ability to enter the human energy field. The unwanted charge can and often does have a major impact on health, our mental state and can even spill over into our electrical gadgets causing malfunctions.

Your subtle energy field is made up of your aura, chakras, and meridian system that are basically the motherboard for your experienced physical condition.  This very sensitive energy grid is greatly influences by your thoughts, interactions with others, psychic attacks directed toward you, and even the energy of the food that you eat.

Because we are not physically aware of our force field, have no doubt that it is there and must be maintained. We usually attribute any malaise we experience to some sort of physical condition but take it back a step further because the originating root lies first and foremost in the energy field.  Everything from unresolved past life memories to a recent blow up with someone has a direct impact on your overall condition.

Look in a mirror after a bad day.  Your physical appearance will be a direct result of what your energy system is filtering through.  Say for example if a certain situation or person is constantly on your back-you will develop a physical back condition because you are allowing that energy stream to be processed through your subtle body wiring eventually bringing about a concrete manifestation.  Ah, now wouldn’t it be better if we could keep that system free of negative debris so we could start to manifest a much better life for ourselves?

You have to consistently get into the habit of doing a daily sweep of your energy the same way you get into the habit of brushing your teeth and maintaining your physical hygiene.

Cleaning is the removal of unwanted matter and you also have to be vigilant about what lies below the threshold of human perception. 

I place critical emphasis on doing a clean sweep of your subtle body energy field every day in the same manner that you clean up your environment and physical body. Often times your streak of bad luck is the result of having a negative energy charge attached to you which in turn acts as a magnet for more of the same. It is very possible to track negative energy from a bad day at work back into your home even if the prevailing situation didn't directly involve you.  You may have been exposed to the flying negativity ricocheting around the room.

How do you know when you have picked up some virulent energy virus and how do you effectively removed these unwanted ions that can cause havoc in your daily life?

If you feel stymied in your daily life my guess would be that you are not cleaning up your energy field at the end of the day.  You most likely are blocked. 

Blockages result in a lack of synchronization between the auras, chakras, and meridian system and you will experience physical issues, emotional issues, and a state of consistent depression and anxiety. Put down the chemical quick fix antidepressants that come with side effects much worse than your original problem.  Chemical treatments are topical and only temporarily address the imbalances affecting you. You get high, put yourself on “sleep mode” and are basically a sitting duck waiting for the side effects to kick in and they are usually much worse than your original problem. 

Here are a few habits that you should start to practice in order to reboot your energy field back into prime condition.

•    Smudge, smudge, and smudge. Smudging with white sage clears out certain types of negative energy blockages in your auras, chakras as well as your home. Burn some white sage and many negative energies will dissolve, within you and your home. Remember to put something sweet back into the air to invite positive energy back into the newly opened areas.  Burn some sweet grass.

•     Stay away from processed foods. A healthy diet, water, uninterrupted sleep and relaxation are essential to having healthy energetic systems. High ongoing stress creates serious damage in auras and chakras as well as the physical body.

•     Breathe.  Deep breathing into the emotion you are carrying will allow you to take it in and breathe it out.

•       Stretch.  Muscles hold emotional memory and when you stretch you release the blockages and knots that block the natural flow of your energy.  Yoga is great for this type of release because it requires you to be disciplined and in the moment.

•       Meditate. Spend at least 5 minutes a day meditating. This is how universal healing energy pervades. Keep your mind as blank as possible. At the end the 5-minute meditation, complete this process with 3 slow deep breaths and release

•       Sea salt bath. Take a sea salt bath. Salt has been called “The Tears of God” and with good reason, as it is one of the purest substances on earth.  Negativity cannot adhere to salt – therefore it is ideal for clearing/cleansing ones’ self. 

•       Energetically sweep your space. If a negative person, thought, or situation has entered your space sweep it clean.  You can burn sage, incense, drum, clap, rattle, or take a broom and sweep it out the door. Spray the area with clearing essence to settle any residual energy. You can also mop your floor with Van Van floor wash.

•       Get back into nature.  Go play in the dirt.  Gardening has a very grounding effect on negative charges that you may have picked up throughout the day.

•        Don’t miss the small stuff.  If you have any crystals, jewelry, electronic equipment, pets or plants occupying a charged area make sure you check their vibration before you do your white glove energy inspection.  All of the above mentioned can pick up negative charges very easily and may have to individually be cleansed.

•         Let it go.  Sometimes an item you have may be too charged especially if there is a lot of emotionally energy connected to it.  Get rid of things that keep pulling you into a dark space.  If you donate an item make sure you sage it off so some unsuspecting person isn’t affected by you past attachment.  Responsibly burn things that are too highly charged.  Fire transmutes energy.

•        Cut cords. At the end of the day take your hands and move them up and down over the perimeter of your body and feel the vibrations as you go along.  If you come across a hot spot visualize cutting the energy cord that is binding you to a negative charge.

A good suggestion is to carry a little emergency spiritual aid kit with you the same way you would carry some sanitizing hand gel or wet wipes to ensure proper hygiene. I personally keep a small spray bottle of clearing essence, a black obsidian stone, a sprig of sage and a baggie of sea salt with me at all times in order to head off any unwanted residual energy from the day.

So if you notice that electrical things in your home are acting up, things keep breaking, you lose items and people seem constantly pissed at you there is a good chance that you and your home are overly charged and in need of a clean energy sweep.  If you suddenly break something made of glass take that as a shove by the Universe to get moving on the clean up since breaking glass is a natural way to initiate clearing space-Mazel Tov!

Don’t be a negative energy hoarder.  Clean ups are vital to your overall spiritual and physical health. as always, I highly recommend Reiki sessions as a  diagnostic for your energy field. Keep it tuned up and tuned in.
