Cutting the ties that bind

We all create cords to people we have had relationships with or associations
or interactions with. The cords are energy ties to certain areas of our energy
bodies depending on the kind of interactions we had: for instance, control
energy – fear energy – power energy. Some cords are contracts with people that
have agreed to help us work through our lessons in life. We need to recognize
these, ask what it is there for, why we are connected to this person, what we
have to learn from them and what they have to learn from us.

Cords can be cut using the “Cutting the Ties That Bind” exercise, an exercise
created by Phyllis Krystal to remove the energy of unhealthy relationships from
your auric field. Visualize an infinity sign with the inner circles colored white
and the outer circles colored violet – violet is transformation and white is new beginning. Imagine you are standing in one side of the figure eight and the person you want to let go of is standing in the other side. Then imagine you are having
a conversation and you are telling this person how much he or she has helped
you to learn a valuable lesson in your life, how much you appreciate the experience.
See the cords that connect you to this person.
Then using a pair of golden scissors cut the energy cords you have built between
you, making sure that the cords are healed and sealed. Visualize these cords being cut – actually feel the golden scissors cutting into them and separation taking place. Even though you want these cords to be cut always act from a place of love – positive energy, forgiveness and compassion. When you have finished, proceed to cut the circles in half allowing each half to become a complete circle.
Wave good-bye and see them in their circle leaving your auric field, floating into the distance. Do this daily until you feel they have been released and you are
free from their influence. It might take a while depending on the actual strength
of the attachment.

Reported and researched benefits of massage by holisticonline

Studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found massage
beneficial in improving weight gain in HIV-exposed infants and facilitating
recovery in patients who underwent abdominal surgery. At the University of Miami
School of Medicine's Touch Research Institute, researchers have found that
massage is helpful in decreasing blood pressure in people with hypertension, alleviating pain in migraine sufferers and improving alertness and performance
in office workers.

An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces heart rate,
lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes
muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment).

Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can
stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate for the lack
of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury. It also can
hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury.

Massage for health and fitness by Elliot Greene

MASSAGE IS KNOWN TO:

- Cause changes in the blood. The oxygen capacity of the blood can
increase 10-15% after massage.

- Affect muscles throughout the body. Massage can help loosen contracted,
shortened muscles and can stimulate weak, flaccid muscles. This muscle
"balancing" can help posture and promote more efficient movement. Massage
does not directly increase muscle strength, but it can speed recovery from
the fatigue that occurs after exercise. In this way, it can be possible to
do more exercise and training, which in the long run strengthens muscles
and improves conditioning. Massage also provides a gentle stretching action
to both the muscles and connective tissues that surround and support the
muscles and many other parts of the body, which helps keep these tissues
elastic.

- Increase the body's secretions and excretions. There is a proven increase
in the production of gastric juices, saliva, and urine. There is also
increased excretion of nitrogen, inorganic phosphorus, and sodium chloride
(salt). This suggests that the metabolic rate (the utilization of absorbed
material by the body's cells) increases.

- Affect the nervous system. Massage balances the nervous system by soothing
or stimulating it, depending on which effect is needed by the individual at
the time of the massage.

- Enhance skin condition. Massage directly improves the function of the
sebaceous (oil) and sweat glands which keep the skin lubricated, clean, cooled.
As a result, tough, inflexible skin can become softer and more supple.

- Affect internal organs. By indirectly or directly stimulating nerves that
supply internal organs, blood vessels of these organs dilate and allow greater
blood supply to them.

Synchronicity

Synchronicity is an explanatory principle, according to its creator,
Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist (1875-1961).
Synchronicity explains "meaningful coincidences," such as (for example)
a beetle flying into his room while a patient was describing a dream about
a scarab. The scarab is an Egyptian symbol of rebirth, he noted.
Therefore, the propitious moment of the flying beetle indicated that the transcendental meaning of both the scarab in the dream and the insect in
the room was that the patient needed to be liberated from her excessive
rationalism. His notion of synchronicity is that there is an acausal
principle that links events having a similar meaning by their coincidence
in time rather than sequentially.

Carl Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and a colleague of Freud who
broke away from Freudian psychoanalysis over the issue of the unconscious
mind as a reservoir of repressed sexual trauma that causes all neuroses.
Jung then founded his own school of analytical psychology.

Jung believed in astrology, spiritualism, telepathy, telekinesis but also
in clairvoyance and ESP. In addition to believing in a number of occult and
paranormal notions, Jung contributed two new ones: synchronicity and the
collective unconscious.

Synchronicities are patterns that repeat in time. The word 'synchronicity'
references the gears or wheels of time, though the actual concept of
synchronicity cannot be scientifically proven. One can only record
synchronicities as they occur and watch the patterns of behavior that
create them.

The concept of synchronicity is currently linked more to metaphysics, yet
physics (quantum physics) and metaphysics are merging, thus showing their interconnection and how we manifest synchronicities in our lives.

Synchronicities are people, places or events that your soul attracts into
your life to help you evolve to higher consciousness or to place emphasis
on something going on in your life. The more 'consciously aware' you become
of how your soul manifests, the higher your frequency becomes and the faster
you manifest positively. Each day your life encounters meaningful
coincidences, synchronicities, that you have attracted, on other words
created in the grid of your experiences in the physical. Souls create synchronicities, played out in the physical.
