| 5. CHANGES IN WEIGHT: The weight gain in the U.S. population is phenomenal. Other people may be losing weight. We often gain weight because many fears we have suppressed are now coming up to the surface to be healed. We react by building up a defense. We also attempt to ground ourselves or provide bulk against increasing frequencies in our bodies. ADVICE: Don't freak out. Just accept it as a symptom of where you are right now. You will release/gain the weight when all your fears have been integrated. Release your anxiety about this, and you might find it easier to lose/gain the weight eventually. Exercise. Before eating, try the following. Sit at the table with an attractive place setting. Light a candle. Enjoy how the food looks. Place your dominant hand over your heart and bless the food. Tell your body that you are going to use the food to richly nourish it, but that you are not going to use the food to fulfill your emotional hungers. Then pass your hand from left to right over the food and bless it. You may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even if the food is cold. I like to think that the food is good for me when it feels warm and nourishing to my hand. I have also noticed that when I practice blessing the food, I don't eat as much. It is important not to let yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before you eat. If I've forgotten and I've nearly finished eating, I bless the food anyway. That way I don't slip out of the habit. Another thing you can do is to stay present while eating. Don't watch TV or read. Heartily enjoy what blessings are before you. 6. CHANGES IN EATING HABITS: You may have strange cravings and odd food choices. Some find they are not as hungry as they used to be, or that they are hungrier. ADVICE: Don't deny what your body tells you it needs. If you are not sure, you might try muscle testing before you choose a food to see if it's what your body wants. Also try blessing the food as described in number five. 7. DEVELOPMENT OF FOOD INTOLERANCES OR ALLERGIES YOU NEVER HAD BEFORE: As you grow more spiritual, you are more sensitive to everything around you. Your body will tell you what it can no longer tolerate, as if it, too, is sloughing off what doesn't serve it anymore. You might be cleansing yourself of toxins. Some people find they often have a white residue in their mouth, much like that of runners at the end of a race. ADVICE: An acupuncturist told me that this film can be removed by sloshing 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes (don't swallow, whatever you do), then spitting it out into the toilet - not the sink. You just removed toxins from your body, and don't want them in the sink. Brush your teeth and do the same. Then clean your brush. (Sorry this is yucky, but it works.) 8. AMPLIFICATION OF THE SENSES/INCREASED SENSITIVITY: VISION - You may experience sore eyes, blurry vision, see shimmering objects, glittery particles or auras around people, plants, animals and objects. Some report seeing formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close your eyes, you no longer see darkness, but redness. You may also see geometric shapes or brilliant colors and pictures when your eyes are closed. Colors appear more vivid; the sky might look teal or the grass an amazing green. Often I see grids running across the ground. As you become more sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the air, especially when the room is almost dark. Once while I was looking at the ceiling light, its form began to disappear and almost recede into the ceiling. When your eyes are open or closed, you may see white or gold shapes in your peripheral vision (these are your guides). Lately my eyes have felt excessively dry upon awakening; I have had difficulty opening them now and then. Also I have experienced sore eyes. (It gives "a sight for sore eyes" new meaning.) ADVICE: Your vision is changing in many ways; you are experiencing new ways of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid. Hazy vision may be relieved by yawning. Drink lots of water for dryness. HEARING - You may experience increased or decreased hearing. I once thought I would have to pull off the road because of the painfully amplified sound of my tires on the freeway. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the head, beeps, tones, music or electronic patterns. Some hear water rushing, bees buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what is called audio dyslexia; you can't always make out what people are saying, as if you can no longer translate your own language. Some hear strange voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering near them. You can either ask the presence(s) to leave or ask Archangel Michael to take care of the situation. Again, there is nothing to fear. ADVICE: Surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are adjusting to new frequencies. This summer I felt the presence of two souls who were confused or lost. They hovered around me and called my name. At first I was frightened, then I realized who they were (my own dear departed ones, both of whom died suddenly by strokes). Believe it or not, in each case, all I had to do was tell them that I loved them and would help them change their circumstances and find a beautiful place to go. Then I guided them to the bright light, reassuring them that I would stay with them until they reached the light. (When they finally see the light, they can't wait to get there!) More about this in number 29. SMELL, TOUCH AND/OR TASTE - I notice I can now smell and taste chemical additives in some foods in a rather unpleasant manner. Other food may taste absolutely wonderful. For some people, these enhancements are both delightful and distracting. You might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and then. Many of the mystics did. Enjoy it. 9. SKIN ERUPTIONS: These may be rashes, bumps, acne, hives, warts or shingles. Anger produces outbreaks around the mouth and chin. I had dermatitis on my extremities for several months that accompanied healing an episode from my past. When I had worked through most of the issue, the condition was released. ADVICE: You may be sloughing off toxins and bringing emotions to the surface. When there is an issue to be released and you are trying to repress it, your skin will express the issue for you until you process the emotions. Work through your "stuff." Try essential oils of geranium, rose, lemon or bergamot on shingles lesions. 10. MANIC ENERGY: You may experience episodes of intense energy that make you want to leap out of bed and into action. One person said her body seems to vibrate wildly. This may be followed by periods of lethargy and fatigue. The fatigue usually follows great shifts. This is a time of integration, so give in to it. ADVICE: Roll with the nature of the energy. Don't fight it. Don't make it the "wrong" way to feel. Be gentle with yourself. Take naps if you are tired. Write your novel if you are too energized to sleep. Take advantage of the type of energy manifesting. 11. CHANGES IN PRAYER OR MEDITATION: You may not feel the same sensations as before, or may not have the same experience of being in contact with Spirit. You may have difficulty focusing. When I close my eyes to meditate, I have noticed a strange, spacey sensation that makes me feel lighter, less dense, and swirling with energy. ADVICE: You may be in more instant and constant communion with Spirit now, and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this new feeling. You are actually thinking and acting in partnership with Spirit most of the time now. You may find your meditation periods grow shorter. 12. POWER SURGES: All of a sudden, you are heated from head to toe. It is a momentary sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people have felt inexplicably cold. I have experienced both. Even men have reported "heating up." More recently, I experienced waves or currents of energy rolling through me. Sometimes the energy seems so intense when it first comes into my body that I feel a little nauseated, but if I think of the energy as divine and let go of fear, I feel wonderful and enjoy the sensation. If you are an energy worker, you may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has increased tremendously. This is good. ADVICE: If you are uncomfortable, ask your Higher Power to turn down/up the temperature a bit, if this is for your highest good. 13. VARIOUS PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS: You may have intense energy in the hands and/or feet, headaches, backaches, neck pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called vibrational flu), digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing heartbeat, chest pains and infections, increased mucous, changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in the limbs, and involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements. Some of us have even had old conditions from childhood reappear briefly for healing. ADVICE: Remember what I said about seeking medical help if you need it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition, relax in the realization that it is only temporary. 14. LOOKING YOUNGER: Yippee! As you clear emotional issues and release limiting beliefs and heavy baggage from the past, you are actually lighter. Your frequency is higher. You love yourself and life more. You begin to resemble the perfect you that you really are. Some of my friends report that their hair is growing darker (as opposed to gray) or blonder. I notice my face changes from moment to moment. |
