Ascension through Grounding

I am reading a new book called Ascension Magic by Christopher Penzack. He also wrote Magical Reiki, my favorite Reiki book so far. I like to consider myself a healer and know next to nothing about Ascension or why it matters. The impression I have so far is that some people may want to ascend their way out of the pain and suffering experienced on Earth. Fair enough ...

Buddha, Mother Mary and other spiritual figures are said to have ascended. Same is true for all of the Ascended Masters. The very word implies an upwards motion, but my gut feeling is that in my case, I will "ascend" by grounding myself. Spirituality doesn't have to be about escapism. On some level, that is what Christianity promises: behave, and whatever you are missing now will be rewarded later. Though of course, it also encourages us to do good now.

So what is grounding?

For me, it is deciding to live in the present moment, on earth, not thinking about the future or holding out for a better time or place (a beach holiday, the Pleiades or the mythical land of Avalon). On an energetic level, this translates to being fully grounded in the body and in the moment. In energy healing and spiritual circles, it’s common to meet people whose attention is elsewhere. Myself included.

This is where we're supposed to be. We can begin to heal when we accept that, and realize that material and/or fear based pursuits aren't all they have cracked up to be. There has to be another way to live our lives. The Black Eyed Peace sang it best.

2024 Update: I just added the song. Let’s ground ourselves from the heart chakra and work with what is real to make it better.

My 1st Psychic Development Class - 10 Years Ago!

In January of 2010, I signed up for my first clairvoyance workshop. Feeling curious but skeptical - would I be able to do any of the activities in the class description??? That skepticism disappeared by lunchtime when we finished the first exercise. The teacher put us in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we each visited the place where the other student lived. We began by activating our Aura, and through it, our intuition . The teacher then asked a series of questions: do they live in a city, what do you see in the street, how far from the neighbors, what color is the building, do you walk right through the front door into their home or is it a journey? The questions continued - how many bedrooms, how are they decorated, what is in the fridge, what is the view like? How many people live there? Do they have pets? What type of music do they listen to, etc. When we came out of the meditation, the teacher told us to describe what...

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview. So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested. My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...
