Reconnecting with the old work

Everyday gratitude is already a routine woven into my daily work, and I also meditate often, but I used to do a lot more than that, casting spells, regularly uttering prayers and fomenting an elevated frequency in as many activities as I can. I visualized for hours in order to increase my vibrational rate and that of the whole house. At some point during the past two years, I shifted this practice out of necessity to much more intense Shadow Work, investigating the energies of my country and how they're reflected within me. The downside is that I've kind of pushed the vibrational improvement aside, and I've been feeling the consequences for a while now.

Every pain, ailment, disease or weakness that we experience, every emotional unbalance, is an expression of low vibration, of density. We can live and even somewhat thrive in these vibrations but the more inured we become, the harder it is to return to the core, to listen and pay attention to the environment, to detach and let go. Raising our frequency is therefore essential for self-awareness and spiritual work at all levels. So I decided it's time to go back to the fold and retake all of the higher exercises that I used to do, such as praying to and for the water I drink and the food I eat, visualizing Sunshine and Light within me and around me, conjuring greater Love and reducing the influence of noise and shadow wherever I go. The results have been immediate.

These kinds of things help us stay strong, agile and healthy, keep our spaces clean and our connections burgeoning. They also increase our attention exponentially, expanding and sharpening it so that we can better perceive everything that's happening around us, which in turn empowers our Intuition as the signs and coherences are brought to a greater degree of relevance, therefore it also facilitates learning. This practice is self-sustaining, it grows in strength and insight the longer we practice, and affects all aspects of our lives, plus it takes a while to diminish even if we forget about it, like a great latticework of energy that slowly fades away after we leave it unattended for a time.

Now that I've begun to do this again, I feel like I've recovered a piece of the mechanism that I'd misplaced over the past couple of years, and I'm finding out that it operates the same way as before but further fortified by the other practices that I've been engaging in. I also feel like I've been in a desert for months and only now am I getting back to the oasis, but reinvigorated by the experience of deprivation, I can now use my Light in much more effective ways. When I started my journey of self-discovery, a lot of this was just awesome, fun, fascinating. Now that I've gained deeper understanding, however, I see them much more responsibly, with the certainty of the reach that I can develop and thus, the capacity to contract or expand my influence at will.

The sizing of the situation is important, it is possible to see and know too much, quiet down the channels that drain your energy and focus on growth. Every machine needs maintenance to work in optimal conditions, a detailed review at all levels of your life is imperative. Renounce the old and damaged, replace dysfunction for efficacy, discipline yourself. Managing your resources requires that you know them, observe the synergies, the coherences, the patterns, the points of intersection. Unravel the tapestry, read the fine print, go to the detail, understanding is also action. Do what you have to do, without doubting or tarrying. The circumstance warrants irrevocable measures. The Net ensnares any barred door if we handle the nodes appropriately.
