What Shines A Light Must First Endure Burning

     

    Subconscious stimulation ~
           I have recently been putting more efforts forth to work the muscle of my third eye. As most muscles work more efficiently when constantly tuned the same can be said for the pineal gland, the spiritual tissue of our minds. It's a tool that can be extremely useful if we know how to tap into the subconscious to  achieve an understanding of the archetypal framework of our inner-workings. I've been getting closer to clairvoyance by daily meditation in multiple forms. One of my favorites, simple yet stimulating, applicable for any human, is a thoughtful breathing practice.

EXERCISE: Take full deep breathes, when you breathe out motion the release of your breath with your hands pushing away from your body. As you do this motion imagine the things you wish to dispose of in your life, whether they are thoughts. feelings, actions, people, objects or addictions. When you breathe a slow,full breath, begin to move your extended arms towards your heart, as you breathe in the love, positivity, acceptance, discipline and devotion towards a better self. Now do this over and over again until you have released and obtained what you wish to contain.

 Dissecting Dreams* 

                        The current novel I'm nearing the end of my read is Eastern Body Western Mind by Anodea Judith. I would recommend it to anyone whom is wishing to evaluate the chakra system in relation to themeself for a deeper psychological understanding. The author mentions the importance of recollecting dreams because they are a pure interpretation of ones subconscious integrating with their conscious. By writing down your dreams you can go back and decipher what the symbolism is expressing about yourself. 

EXERCISE: Before you go to bed make the affirmation that you will remember your dream come morning. By acknowledging this desire your cognitive abilities of awakening with a memory will increase. Your conscious can be trained of many things, as well as the ability to recall your dreams. When you wake up stay in the position that you are, if you roll on one side recognize this and roll back to your initial waking position At this time let your mind sit as your dreams may be surfacing. Be sure to write your dreams down immediately. Write them in first person, recalling every color, inanimate object, person, animal, smell, and most importantly feelings provoked. At first you may not remember your dreams, this is not from lack of dreaming, everyone dreams every night. Dreams can be suppressed by alcohol or other drugs that interrupt the cognitive ability of your conscious. 

Rhythmic Expression, Poetic Possession  
There is euphoria in the air and with every breathe it enters my being.

Excitement, enticement, appeal to all that's real. 

To people that talk with meaning. 

Words are powerful, they can be electrical.

Sending energy waves for days.

Leaving an impact on those they attack.

I feel like a sponge that soaks up the spirit of my surroundings. 

In the right light I feel the might, the movement, the love for life

But when it's not so bright I feel the fight and I fight back.

I absorb and I reflect; project the waves that were sent my way. 

It's important for me to choose who I wish to see, who's energy will be with me.

But on an island this choice has been made for me.

It's a challenge and better yet an opportunity for growth.

Every storm waters the seed within.

Tomorrow brings the sun, shinning vibes that are positive. 

I met a backpacker yesterday. 

We talked until tomorrow.

No speaking of sorrow.

Just love, words sent from above. 

I am filled with a lust for life.

Reminded of the beautiful people I may find. 

Their traveling souls fill the holes. 

And again I am completely alone but no longer empty
