Using Mantras for Healing


I, like Edgar Cayce, believe that the good things that are given to us from Spirit should be freely shared. That is an ethical discussion for another day.

Because I believe Spirit gives us information to be freely shared, I will tell you the mantra meditation I was given on self-healing.

My intuitive understanding is that a component of disease is encapsulated fear and anger in one’s body. To remove this encapsulated fear, anger and bodily symptoms of the disease, the fear and anger must be identified, acknowledged and owned as real. Then the disease/fear/anger can be transmuted in a Violet Flame. The Violet Flame is identified in esoteric knowledge as an energy quality of the Creator.

Esoteric means hidden, deep, buried. The true meaning of the end of the Mayan calendar was not the end of the world—it was the end of secret knowledge. Spirit will make knowing available if we choose to know.

The Violet Flame can be used to transmute energy. It is essential to realize that a disease is idea energy, or thought form, that one has created or materialized in the body. It may represent a current life stressor, or it may represent a karmic lesson or shock. To learn more about the Violet Flame, also known as the Violet Ray see the web link directly below.


Cayce often prescribes a therapy that makes use of an actual violet light. My intuitive understanding has led me to know that we can meditate on the Violet flame to transmute the disease. The disease idea, or thought form resides in unconscious, subconscious, and conscious aspects of our Mind. These layers of Mind and Spirit are where the roots of the disease reside. We can use treatments and therapies at the body level where the disease symptoms reside, but until we address the roots of the diseases at the Mind and Spirit level, as well, we are vulnerable.  The original disease/fear/anger may return or manifest as another disease. The role of the disease is to motivate us toward Spiritual enlightenment and Mind evolution.

As an example, in the case of a tumor or scar tissue, one starts the healing process when the fear and anger are identified, acknowledged and owned as real. The one repeats the Violet flame mantra with an attitude of faith. After one has asked for the tissue to be transmuted in the Violet Flame, the tissue will be broken down by natural body processes, reabsorbed, and eliminated. Once the disease energy is transmuted and released, your personal life energy is no longer feeding the disease and can be used to rebuild your body.

My guidance tells me, we tend not to give up disease because we fear that we will be isolated and left unseen by our fellow man because people have given up on Love and Joy. We tend only to recognize fear and anger. Love is the opposite of Fear, and Joy is the opposite of Anger—these energies cannot coexist.

 I understand what the guidance is saying but I recommend meditating on this statement to find your inner truth. As a counselor, part of our ethic is to warn clients that change has consequences--relationships and family dynamics will change, if you know this before hand you can compensate for it.

My Guidance intuitively gave me this technique for working with the Violet Flame.

1.  First:
Accept that you need to forgive yourself and others for..................................that lead to manifesting this disease. Put into the blank the name of what it is you are angry about ---the whole idea, clearly review it in your mind.

2. Next say this mantra:
Father, Mother, God, Goddess I AM, All that Is, please send a Violet Flame of transmutation to surround and permeate all energies of ................name the disease.............all times, places, spaces, events, participants, and energies are cleansed and healed and brought into alignment with Gods will for humanity at this time. So be it. Amen.

3. Say the mantra 3 times.

Many diseases are the result of accidental occurrences, or exposures to germs and toxins that unintentionally get overlaid with emotional shocks--life happens. It is essential to remember that disease becomes a habit pattern, an energy habit pattern in mind, body, and Spirit. To overcome the disease you must break the energy, the body memory, by doing therapies at all levels of self--Mind, Body, and Spirit. We are a threefold being. Successful healing therapies must address the physical Body, the Mind and the Spirit. (In other words if you may need to forgive yourself---for forgetting to wash your hands, or forgive your child for dropping a hammer on your toe.)

It is also essential to remember you, and those you love, have a life plan. No one lives forever. The Christ demonstrated to us that he was a Being that embraced his Life Plan and saw death as a doorway to the next adventure.




Spirit Connection to Health, part 1


Recently I was on vacation in Virginia Beach, Virginia attending the International Association for the Study of Dreams conference. In Virginia Beach I had the opportunity to visit the Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE). ARE has grown out of Edgar Cayce’s medical intuitive readings. Edgar Cayce is known as the sleeping prophet.

There is a River, the official biography of Edgar Cayce was written by Thomas Joseph Sugrue. He interviewed Cayce, his friends, and family. This biography is a true representation of Cayce as he struggled to accept his amazing gift of medical clairvoyance and integrate this ability with fundamental Christian beliefs, and practical, workingman, country values.

I had many misunderstandings about Cayce the man and the validity of medical clairvoyance. Cayce was a product of his culture and farm life in late 1890s rural Kentucky. An introspective man, He worried about being a good person and not disappointing God and his family.

His autobiography is one of the most interesting, well-written books I have read. It displays true essence of what it means to be an individual in the US. (I worry that many individuals living in other countries have a misunderstanding of the US character from watching TV and movies. I do not know any one like the people displayed on TV shows, movies, or the news. These are entertainments, or shocking unique events. Oh no, I have just admitted that I am very ordinary and possibly boring.)

Mr. Cayce would fall asleep and go into a deep trance. During this trance Mr. Cayce was able to give clairvoyant or psychic readings about an individuals health and lifestyle. Although, his ability to view the human body from a distance and correctly diagnose medical issues seemed phenomenal at the time, and today as well, other individual have displayed this ability across time. However, it was ARE’s commitment to documenting the individual case studies that create a pattern of validity.

It is Edgar Cayce's life and work, which demonstrate to me the truth of the Mind/Body/Spirit connection at work for our health and healing. At first one believes that Cayce's work can't be real there must be something untrue or fake about what he does. But no one has been able to establish that. The information and documentation of his psychic health readings, collected over thirty years, are available for anyone to study and research.

One of the most striking examples of Cayce’s ability is the story of his son Hugh Lynn. In the 1890s, Edgar made his living as a photographer. At that time they used flash powder to create enough light to get the image on the photographic plate. His young son some how caused a large amount of flash powder to ignite and severely burned his face and eyes. Cayce picked the screaming boy up and ran to the nearest physician’s office. The physician did what he could. The physician consulted other local doctors. Their belief was that the boy would be permanently scared, blind and that one of his eyes should be surgically removed or the boy would die.

Cayce’s wife said if ever we are going to trust in the gift of the medical readings---now was the time. Cayces went home, he went in to a trance and Spirit gave them a treatment plan for their son. They followed the plan exactly. Hugh Lynn did not have any facial scarring and after about five weeks times scar tissue peeled off his eyes and he could see perfectly.

Our current allopathic medical establishment will never research these therapies because there is no profit to be made--you cannot patent these therapies as they belong to the ARE. The ARE makes the therapeutic knowledge available to members for free. By US standards membership is not expensive. The current complaint about the therapies is that they seem old fashioned.

The therapeutics are old-fashioned. When Spirit spoke through Cayce, Spirit gave therapeutic recipes using products available at the time. Spirit utilized established medical schools of thought when appropriate. They recommended the appropriate use of allopathic, homeopathic, osteopathic manipulation, chiropractic and psychological treatments. Medical readings often made recommendations on dietary change, toxic cleansing, herbs, and massage techniques.

The recommendations from Spirit never did harm to the individual, unlike current medications that have cumulative long term, and even deadly side effects. If the therapeutics recommended by Spirit did not work, the case was investigated. Lack of success was related to the individual not following the therapeutic plan exactly.

I believe one of the reasons individuals did not follow the therapeutic plan exactly was because it was free. We tend to look askance at, not have full faith, in things that are free. The nature of our current culture is that profit is king. Nobody gives anybody anything of value for free--supposedly. Therefore, ARE is an organization. When one pays money to join you support the workers and the buildings, the knowledge if free. A link to edgarcayce.org is below.

Embrace the Power of the Dream

Dreamland is a vast uncharted place that has no boundaries. I believe people do not remember their dreams because they do not know what to do with the dream, or they believe it has no value.  I intend to share a few thoughts that will help open up this aspect of self so you may explore this excellent gift—the dream. I do not record or analyze all of my dreams only dreams that seem to have real power, or appeal. Yes, I have a couple of books in my library that discuss symbols but the mind often creates symbolism specifically individual to the dreamer and her/his current life experience. Always double-check your proposed interpretation with your inner knowing. Working with your dreams is a good confidence builder!!

I first started studying my dreams about twenty five years ago when I attended a workshop at the Adlerian Summer School Institute the presenter was Sadie “Tee” Driekurs. The important things I learned—
1.  Everything in the dream is an aspect of yourself,
2.  Dream symbols/metaphors/actions are very rarely literal, (therefore when I dreamed I stuck a spear through my brother’s heart I realized I really did not have murderous intentions)
3.  One’s dream may have individual/cultural/national/global/and spiritual messages all at the same time and can be interpreted from each perspective
4.  It is possible to dream a dream for someone else and/or to dream a dream with someone else
5.  The dream may continue in your subconscious while you are awake, if this is needed for your growth and development,
6.  Do not worry if you cannot write the whole thing down immediately—note your emotions and anything that seems to hang around in your thoughts--a word or two to help you recall the dream later

Also I was a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams for many years.  Key ideas I learned here are
1.     Pay attention to the emotion you felt during the dream—write emotions down as part of the dream
2.     How to approach and utilize lucid dreaming,
3.     The historical, cultural aspect of dreaming—dreaming is not new age
4.  Many great inventions were first envisioned in dreams

My Dream:
I was on the side of a red desert mountain.  My father said wait for him and he drove off with three other people. I saw they were showing a movie in the park at the base of the mountain. As I walked to the movie I stopped to look at a display table of books, magazines and handmade jewelry. I found a tapestry chair to sit in to watch the movie. A woman and her son came by. The son sat with me in my chair for a while and then left; he was a nice kid. A man came by and flirted with me—I flirted back. The man said why do you trust me? I said I like the way you look (his energy was good.)

The ground began to rumble and heave. People on top of the Red Clay Mountain began to run down. I said we have to go. He said it was nothing. The rumble knocked him off his feet on to his back. Two others and I helped him up. His back was covered with leaves and I brushed the leaves off. I said we need to run to the car. He said I don’t think so. A giant crack appeared on the Red Clay Mountain and I could see it was chasing the people down the mountain. I began to run. The man began to run. Sinkholes started appearing and the man was swallowed up.

Everywhere I went I told the people to run; some ran and some did not. I ran into a building because every other way was blocked. It was like a maze but I kept running. I ran through an apartment. It was beautiful with much artwork. The husband and wife were arguing and seemed oblivious to my being there and the son played video games. I said you have to run the RED Mountain is crumbling. They looked at me blankly and said what about our things? I kept running through the house past the artwork. I saw the daughter, in a pink tutu, practicing ballet in the living room. As I ran out the front door I said you must run the RED Mountain is crumbling.

I was out on the street it was chaos with hundreds of people running. I saw the parking lot with my car; most of the cars were blue but one or two were red. I got my car. I shouted go, go the red mountain is cracking. The cars took off in a line. Some few cars turned right down a gravel road; most people went straight on the highway. The gravel road went through a dark neighborhood. The highway was lighted. Then I woke up.

This dream is symbolically rich. For another person to truly understand the dream’s implication for me, one would need to know the current context of my life. The emotions I awoke with were: overwhelmed, thoughtful, purposeful, fatalistic, what will be will be. The following are standard interpretations of the notable symbols.

  • RED---anger, rage, trouble, misunderstanding, human lust/desire, creativity, endocrine center, base chakra, evil, or aggression
  • CLAY—something from which new things spring, can be molded/shaped/formed
  • DESERT—not fertile, bleak, abandoned, lack insight or spirit, abandoned wasteland, hopelessness
  • MOUNTAIN—higher state of mental development, spiritual heights, understanding awareness, where physical and mental world can be viewed clearly and understood, a challenge/ obstacle to be overcome, an ambition one has chosen
  • DESCENDING the mountain—close of an experience, obstacle successfully overcome, the end of something
  • FATHER—authority, leadership, power, energetic, forceful, protective
  • MAN—individuality of one’s self, masculine side of one’s nature (strength, courage, determination), relates to second chakra/endocrine center, creativity
  • MOVIE—see from another perspective, opinions, thoughts, world-view of others
  • MAGAZINE—general information, personal insight/intuition
  • JEWELRY—spiritual truths/gifts, wisdom, mental health, beauty, that which is eternal

  • TAPESTRY—visual representation of one’s life story, soul journey, higher self, creativity, subconscious, Karmic memory

  • DEAD LEAVES—things once part of self that now must be discarded
  • CRACK—potential opening, or potential problem in current direction, belief systems are crumbling
  • SINK HOLE—dark situation/experience/passage, hidden or concealed trap, hole in one’s plans/ideas/thought process
  • RUNNING—anxiety, apprehension, inferiority, uneasiness, inability to handle the current experience, inner conflict
  • NEIGHBORHOOD—subconscious aspects of self one has to accept and live with
  • BUILDING/APARTMENT—place of residence, one’s physical body personality/current situation/experience/temporary lodging or condition; MAZE—confusion, uncertainty, lose of direction, disorganized
  • ARGUMENT—conflict between parts of self, internal struggle

  • BALLET—corresponds to balance and preparedness
  • PARKED VEHICLES—rest or period of inactivity
  • CAR—the physical body/self, vehicle to use in life’s journey
  • BLUE—truth, insight, spiritual value, wisdom, healing, inner voice, tranquility
  • TURN RIGHT—future, that which is fixed, proper choice, good judgment, correct direction; DARK—devoid of life or spirit, the unknown, to be without knowledge/insight, disheartened where one meets one’s self
  • TURN LEFT—past, receptivity, open-mindedness, unconscious parts of self, intelligent/logical/focused; LIGHTED—associated with great lessons/truth, higher knowledge, spiritual insight, hope in the midst of difficulties
  • Dream Images and Symbols: A Dictionary (Creative Breakthroughs Books) by Kevin J. Todeschi (Nov 1, 2003)


INTERPRETATION:
Key aspects to understanding this dream and to apply it to my current situation are to,
1)    Notice the contradictory emotions on waking up
2)     Notice the conflict between the subconscious/inner/spiritual life vs. conscious/physical/worldly life
3)    Notice standard symbols right/future vs. left/past, light vs. dark, mountains vs. sink holes, argument vs. video games/ballet 
4)    Also it is important to realize symbols are simultaneously positive and negative. This indicates a need for me as a dreamer to have active discernment and not to make quick judgments of  “goodness or badness.”
The dream is a story meant to empower me. I learned many things from the dream but simply put: I am in a period of transition (retired from my job) where I am leaving behind the surface level self that was focused on the work and physical daily needs of every day survival. I am entering a period (work that reflects who I really am) that requires balance, focus, creativity, courage, and determination as I externalize unconscious abilities and my inner insights in a new direction. The dream warns me not to get caught up in inner conflict, my own ruminations can create traps, but to brush off inner conflicts just as I would brush dead leaves off my clothes. Actually there is more meaning to the dream but this is enough for now. My hope is that this dream example encourages you to embrace the power of the dream as it releases healing and motivational energy. The dream is truly one of the greatest gifts the Creator gave us.
