Love is the source code of this reality…Welcome February.

Erika Ginnis

It is that time in the year when our attention in drawn towards love. Hearts and flowers, and perhaps even chocolate; all of which I am a total fan of by the way!

There is a lot of information about the origins of what we speak of as “Valentines day” most of which are interesting, surprising, and valid. None of which I am going to write on today (doncha just love me!!).

I am going to take this at face value and speak about the expressed reason for the upcoming celebration. I am going to look at it from a completely different angle. This comes from something that came to me while working today with 4 different people on four seemingly different things.

It is the reason why this kind of work actually “works” why metaphysics or healing or energetics aren’t just words but call forth actual experience. So put on your goggles and join me in inner and outer space. I am going to speak on Love.

Love is the source code of this reality. It is what everything is built from and built on. It is at the core of every particle, every idea, every thought, and every cell.

It is the fundamental building block of this Universe. It is the single indivisible particle at the heart of all particles, that is itself the entirely in which the particles move in and return to. It is the wave form; the Om; the Alpha and the Omega.

Love is the note that birthed the chorus and still sings in the surrounding harmonics and ringing overtones.

Find it, return to it and you have in your hands the basis for all creation and all manifestation. Reside in it and you will find at once that place that holds the stillness between the undeniable impulse to expand in all directions and all dimensions; and the total fulfillment and richness of the singular moment;  desire without need, enthusiasm without fear.

(100% commitment and 100% nonattachment)

Embrace the triune nature that is created and maintained by Love: The enthusiasm of initiation and forward movement; complete fulfillment and contentment in the perfection of the existent unfolding “now”; and the paradox of momentarily infinite space between these states, within which whole galaxies can reside.

Love calls to itself and it expands because of itself.

It is what we feel and think of as love, in all its many forms; but beyond that as well. The love within us when we find it; feel it; connect to it; is the terminal through which we access the enormity of Life’s expression.

Travel at the speed of Love.

Faster than the speed of light, faster even than the speed of thought. It has no need to traverse distances because it is already at the destination; it is simply a shift of focus and perception. Have your attention on something and perceive it; find yourself shifted by the “addition” of Love and your perception immediately changes.

Suggestion:

1. Think of someone who had been annoying you; someone in your life you are having a hard time loving. This can be someone close to you, or someone in the world at large.

2. Spend some time every day from now until Valentines Day thinking of them in a new way. Imagine them with the kind of deep things that you would want/seek for yourself; imagine them happy and well, understood, accepted, appreciated, surrounded by people who really know them and cherish them, see them as feeling safe, secure and loved, held in the gentlest most caring arms imaginable.

3. Do this daily. Granted you may feel at first that you have to fake it for a few days (sometimes it can help imagining them as a young child…everybody was one at one time) just give it time. Ideally you will do this until they can walk through your mind unharmed 🙂

4. Do not tell them about this, or make a big outward deal about it. You are not actually doing this for them. You are doing it for you. It will change not only your relationship with them, but it will change your relationship to your reality. Trust me. It is worth every minute you spend on it.

Love is the source code of this reality. Get out your code book and start where you can start. Pet your cat, hug your dog, hold your child, cherish the characters in a favorite book whose actions you may not agree with but whose heart you understand. Some author somewhere knew them and placed them in the events; told their story. From within their journey they spoke to you and you came to love them. You understand them because they were written from Love.

Translate that to you.

Aloha and Blessings,

Erika

“Don’t stop believing; and Bless everything no exceptions” Glee and my spiritual practice. ~ Erika Ginnis

Erika Ginnis

“Don’t stop believing; and Bless everything no exceptions”

I am going to touch on three things in this post; the first one has to do with the TV show Glee. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it (and you don’t need to be for purposes this post, although it will be even more enjoyable for those that are 🙂 ) Glee is a new, very popular, show that revolves around the experiences of a High School Glee club; but it’s really about much much more.

Ok so yes here I am talking about a TV series, and one might say how can this really be spiritual. But I have to say that there are things in this show that touch my heart so deeply; one of which is a song that has become a kind of theme through the show thus far, the chorus of which goes …”Don’t stop believing, hold on to that feeling”. Sound familiar? If not feel free to scroll down to watch the YouTube video I included, and then come back up and start reading again here…

This song shows up in such poignant ways all through the season of Glee, and it speaks to many of us across a wide range of experiences. I invite you to think about what this phrase is saying.

Don’t stop believing.

Believe even in the midst of doubt; believe even though there is no visible evidence. This is the call of spirit, of our deep inner selves. It is the guiding light that shines on the path that we are walking, that shows us the turns to take.

Hold on to that feeling; yes that is the key because from that feeling springs the emotion and from that emotion springs the vibration and from that vibration springs the demonstration of your belief.

I love Glee, I love that we have these amazing individuals falling and returning to center, showing us our own path. Reminding us of times gone by or times to come; but also of what is right in front of us right now.

Every moment is an opportunity to believe, and it’s put to the test during the times when we feel lost or alone on our journey (how perfect that the song is originally by Journey, such a metaphor!). We lose who we are (we think); we think our dreams are lost too, but this is never true! Our dreams are right there waiting for us to turn back toward them and embrace them.

The next related point is something I have been thinking and writing about lately; as is shown in the season finale of Glee, the concept that you do not have to be the best to be really good, or worthwhile.

During the season Finale they (and I am assuming here that people have seen the show and I am not spoiling it for anyone) do not win the contest they are in, there are many reasons for that but they don’t in fact win. This is surprising especially for a TV show where these kids are the underdogs, I personally wanted them to win, expected them to win! However they don’t and they “didn’t even place” (as one character says) And yet, and yet… they are amazing and they are the epitome of heart and love (IMHO) and growth and evolution of self.

What I wrote previously on this idea of not having to be the BEST…

One thing that I have been struck with on this topic that I have been meditating on since it really hit home; was the idea that you do not have to be the BEST at something (ie perfect) to be good at it; or for it to be worthwhile. I started to wonder how many people are not doing/sharing their gifts and light and ideas because they judge it as “not-as-good-as” and so don’t do it at all?

If I take that to the extreme it means there can only be one who is the “good one” at anything; and even if you are the ONE that is the BEST, there is so much energy going into keeping that place because that itself is so transitory! Plus it’s totally subjective! I am not saying to stop striving to be the best you can be at something, but there is a difference between having that as something you are inspired to do; and letting it stop you from doing all kinds of different things or new things.

This becomes more important as we move into new avenues of expression that may be entirely new for everyone since we are all evolving in so many ways.

All is one, even though we are all a variety of expressions of that One. Each time you let yourself move forward become larger greater, move into new territory, it’s like one of the flowers on the HUGE tree of US opens and blooms; each time a flower bursts open it stimulates more flowers to bloom.

This whole show is about being your self no matter what someone else’s opinion is, it is about following that dream, believing in yourself. I think that is one of the reasons that the show is so powerful; there is such a strong message in it.

This same song in the finale; which echoes both the first episode, and another later episode; epitomizes the longing for a child hood dream (in this case music) and an individual deciding to follow it rather than desert it, which makes it all the more heart opening.

How do we then keep these dreams alive in us? There are many many ways, but one that I am going to mention is something that many people have suggested over the years; and that I had a very personal experience with it recently…

Last weekend I had to get up really early for a commitment on Saturday. I was having a hard time sleeping the night before; I couldn’t fall asleep in my bed so I was out on the couch. I was having one of those nights where I was increasingly aware of what time it was in relation to what time I had to get up. I had been sort of dozing but was awake again and feeling kind of stiff.  It was about 3 in the morning. I got up kind of sore from the position I had been in and was going to try the bed again. I put my arms up and stretched and was right in the middle of this huge sigh.

I was planning on it ending in a frustrated exclamation, I even kind of resigned to how I would feel after that…but oddly enough that wasn’t what happened.

It’s like I had been up in the air, ready to come down in a specific pre-chosen spot and something just shifted positions in me; and rather than landing where I thought I would, I came down somwhere entirely different and utterly unplanned.  What changed? Well in mid-sigh surprisingly I heard something within myself tell me this thought, rather than the one I had planned…

“bless everything; no exceptions”

And all of a sudden that “pre-groan” sigh, turned into a sigh of relief. It was like all at once I was a different person than I had been two seconds before. I smiled instead of groaning as I had been literally planning to do moments before, and I went to bed and slept well. It had truly been a moment of unexpected grace.

I want to note this because it was a good and powerful place to be in and return to. Since that time, all week (of course) I have been getting that message every time I turn around; in books; in spiritual practice on my iPhone; in emails 🙂 and so I know it is absolutely important to me on my path right now. This all on its own was lovely and inspiring but there is more to the story.

That Saturday I went through my day and came home and had time to read a good book and relax. I was in a pretty uplifted place and so that night I slept well with no need to watch the clock. I was still integrating this idea of “bless everything no exceptions”; which was not the most natural of spiritual practices I have encountered, given some of my own mental habits.

However what happened on Sunday was like a time release experience.

Sunday morning I woke up well rested (up early again for the second day of my budgeting commitment) and had this feeling of blessing running entirely through me. I got up and thought about various things and when I found myself slipping (by habit) into complaining in my mind or attitude; the phrase would resurface, and I would start just blessing whatever it was, no matter what I thought of it. This changed my entire morning.

Given the early start of my day I found myself driving into Hilo before many people were up (since it was a Sunday). I spent the whole drive in, blessing everything; it was like I had a long wide cloak/wave coming out from my shoulders and fanning out behind me. I was at the leading edge of the cloak/wave and I imagined just blessing everyone as they were sleeping. I was loving all these people who hadn’t started their day yet; who were still in bed or just getting up. I imagined their mornings and breakfasts and afternoon get-togethers and I blessed and blessed and blessed. It was effortless and felt so very good. I kept that feeling all through the day; every time I would feel that I was falling into worry or anything else I would move right back into blessing. It changed my entire experience.

I didn’t try to change the things I saw even if they weren’t the way I wanted them to be,  I just “blessed everything, no exceptions”; if I saw a place in my life with a hole instead of the something I wanted in it, I blessed it.  If I noticed anything at all, any person place or thing no matter what they were doing, I blessed them, I covered them with this cloak of blessing. It was so cool.

I share this story because I think we can use this for our own dreams and visions; every time we might get tempted to judge ourselves harshly (which can be so so so easy to do, at least for me sometimes) we can instead choose to “Bless everything; no exceptions”. This will entirely change our energy and therefore our experience.

We can take the example from the kids in Glee… Don’t stop believing hold on to that feeling! and Bless everything no exceptions, and see what kind of beauty we can create.

Blessings and Aloha,

Erika Ginnis

(ps this video is from mid season, not the finale, but it was a nice version of the song so I am including it here. There are as you might guess, a bagillion Youtube videos of this song in its various forms from Glee… so take your pick and enjoy!)

Telekinesis, Awakening, and Updating your energy ~ Erika Ginnis

Erika Ginnis

How’s your telekinesis these days?

(Disclaimer.. this is one of my very “wooo wooo” intensive posts…just saying)

Telekinesis (TK) energy is that energy you use to move objects without touching them physically. It is also the energy you use to blow out light bulbs unintentionally and make street lights go out when you pass by them :).

Traditionally this energy would flow though the same channels as your healing energy would flow. I will go into more detail about those channels later on in the post; but for now just know that it would normally flow down your arms and out your hands and normally TK would be set at a much lower level than the healing energy would be.

Grounding is especially important to use with this energy; which is why you are much more likely to blow out a light bulb turning the light switch on right after you get up in the morning (or whatever part of the day/evening that might be) when your energy is still zinging along and you haven’t found your body enough to really ground it yet (i.e. still half asleep).

There is some interesting things coming up about TK and in looking at the energy again I started to think back and realize that there have been some changes recently around all of this; especially during sleep/dream time.

I have been aware of seeing some symbols related to this; they were white circles with a black line around the outside, and inside on the white background there were all kind of black lines looking like wire bent at right angles and squished together, it reminded me of something like a cross section of some kind of tubing. There is also a kind of overlay of purple energy on all of this.

The reason I mention this here, is that these symbols seem to be relating to some past lives many folks have from working with TK energy in Atlantis. (There is a lot of past life information over the years about the “technology” of using sound vibration for doing all kinds of things, like moving objects and shifting energy.)

The symbols are often found in the hands and the 6th and 3rd chakras. Now we have symbols of all kinds of things since it is one of the ways we store and communicate energy as spirit, but the interesting thing that came up with all of this is that normally we will update our symbols and use then as we need them, but these symbols were kind of staying in “past time”.

What I saw is that we get tempted to keep these (and other symbols) in their “past” form because of the validation it brings us; it shows us that we have had past experiences on this planet, and that we really have known how to move energy with energy. What happens though is that the symbols themselves can get in the way of what we are trying to do (like access that energy in a form that works in present time).

TK is an interesting thing; it’s so real and “see-able”. Telekinesis can seem like the best thing that can offer some kind of “hard” evidence. So you ask for it, want to keep it in order to find way to “prove” to yourself that this stuff (all the woo woo spiritual stuff) is real; which is understandable.

The deal is you still really have to work on the beliefs first, not because you have to have them for the evidence to appear (although it certainly helps) but because if you don’t clear or change the beliefs that say this stuff isn’t real, then as soon as you have it, regardless of what it is…walking on fire, bending a spoon, fixing something without touching it, you will have the validation for only about 5 minutes before you automatically start rationalizing it away, and it ceases to be proof and you start the whole process all over again. We are so funny!

If we allow these symbols (which are just packets of information we have stored) to unpack themselves and come into present time (meaning the version that will work for our energy today), we can use this wisdom in ways that will work, not only millennia ago, but in our lives here and now.

I mentioned “downloads” in an earlier post, mostly in relation to getting information when we connect to people or places. I am also seeing that happen when people are out of their bodies sleeping. This means we can actually wake up in a higher vibration than when we went to bed. Whee haw!!

Some information that I think may be helpful in regards to this ~
I noticed with downloads that there is a kind of default setting for the speed at which the energy comes into the body through the 7th chakra. I never paid much attention to this before! I think the default used to work a lot better than it has been lately with all the increased activity (meaning it may be out of present time). Without updating it, some days the default speed can be too much all at once and hard to keep up with; and when you aren’t caught up your energy can feel kind of haywire.

If you don’t address this your body can start to back up on energy and get kind of short-ed out (which can show up as feeling pain especially in the joints, or having excess energy flowing out into the world of electronics etc.). This is also increased by all the astrology with Uranus and Saturn being at odds with one another (Uranus having a lot too do with electrical energy and lighting and erratic sudden changes) and the oh-so-soon Mercury Retrograde.

I got this image of a pinball machine; meaning everyone is going through what they are all going through in their awakening process (doesn’t mean a bad thing just a movement thing) and when they are all together then people are bouncing off one another like balls in a pinball machine and activating “lighting up” all these things in each other just by their proximity. So this makes grounding and letting things be smooth, even more important.

The good news is you can bring this into present time; and you can also manually/intentionally set the download speed to a variable rate. It’s similar to how you would work with your computer actually; even easier in fact.

To adjust this simply make an agreement with yourself (best done during meditation of some kind) that you will download information at a rate that is comfortable for you; whether you are in or out of your body (in other words, sleeping or awake).

In addition to setting that intention to have a comfortable download rate for new updated information; I would also suggest making a point to update your energy system each time you get up in the morning. Spend a couple minutes to clear out your energy body especially the joints and the places where your astral body connects. Since things are moving pretty quickly these days, these shifts are happening way more often than they used to, which means that if you are normally used to updating your grounding, bringing things into present time every few months, that is just not going to keep you up to speed with your changes these days.

Telekinesis and Healing channels

I was taught years ago that TK and healing energy ran through the same channels in the energy system; and that at some point you would have to make a choice about which one you wanted to focus on because they were kind of mutually exclusive.

I am not talking about the little TK stuff but for someone like Yuri Geller (the person that my teacher used as an example) would have had to make a decision somewhere along the line that he was going to use those channels more specifically for TK than healing. I am not saying that this is true or not, just that it was what I was taught.

Now what was interesting is that I was getting some new information about all of this during reading/meditation; what I got was…that as things are evolving and the energy is getting quicker, that the TK energy is not really running through channels in the same way it used to (such as in Atlantis); it is shifting and evolving and running through channels of thought/consciousness which aren’t in any specific place in the energy system.

I am reminded of a scene in The Matrix

“Do not try and bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth.”
“What truth?”
“There is no spoon.”
“There is no spoon?”
“Then you’ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself”

That is such a powerful statement. If all is One, then all reality is also One thing, and so yes it is only ourselves that bend! It all happens in consciousness.

So in relation to this energy moving via thought, it means many things, but one of them is that it didn’t look to me like you had to make that same choice you used to have to make. Part of this is because with the increase of vibration in general, we have changed our relationship to TK; sound vs thought as the medium through which it is moving; and as such we don’t access it in the same way as we used to at all.

This frees up our healing channels to be used for just that, and not have to sacrifice our TK ability (if we choose to use it) in order to do healing.

One last thing that came up in regards to updating information. If you work with guides (an entirely different subject I realize but stay with me on this) remember that guides evolve just like we do; since we are in fact, all spirit. So if there are guides that you are working with it is also a good thing to update your relationship with them (bring it in present time) now and again to allow for that evolution process to have space for both of you. Otherwise you are interacting with an older version of the guide and they are interacting with an older version of you. Kind of like going back to visit relatives and they still see you as a young child or a teenager and we all know how much fun that is!!

Ok that’s all for now…see you on the next wave.

Aloha and Blessings,
Erika
