As the healing light comes down into your system, it helps to flush darkness out of the aura. Energetically dark energy is that which causes us suffering, ignorance, negative emotions, thoughts, etc. … things that are not our true nature but nonetheless can affect our mind, body and lives in a very real way.
Our spine needs to be straight (in a natural way) and not leaning against anything. This is because we have very important energy channels that run up and down the spine. These channels (or meridians) is how life force flows through our body. Leaning against a wall or chair can hinder that flow of energy. Also slouching, lying down or being in weird positions can also cause problems. Ideally we want to be sitting up with our backs off the chair or wall for the duration of our meditation.
As we live our lives and go about our day it is very common that many of us are exposed to unhealthy or 'negative' energies. To a certain degree these energies can affect us which can lead to fatigue, stress, depression, physical ailments etc. These unhealthy energies exist in many places. From a stressful work environment - to being around negative people. They can exist in energetically dirty environments like bars etc. to living in densely populated cities. Whether we like or not, these energies do exist. So how do we protect ourselves from them?
Similar to when our car window gets dirty, we struggle to see the road or the drivers around us. Our perception becomes distorted in some way. It’s the same with the aura (or energy body). Our aura gets dirty because of the quality of thoughts we generate through the day and the emotions we experience. Dietary choices, lifestyle factors, the people we hang out with, and the ways we spend our time can also cause the aura to get dirty.
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed over the years it's that the future is not a fixed thing. Things are always subject to change. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had clients come in for a session in total distress or depression because something they were told would happen - didn’t. This can cause a lot of suffering for some people.
Why have a morning practice? Many people find if they start off the day with their practice they experience greater emotional control, less stress, greater ability to handle conflict and problems, more physical and mental vitality and a greater sense of well-being and connectiveness.
