My Everyday Mystic by Jan Puta: blog for the soul

Your throat chakra is at the center of self-expression and your struggle to release your will to divine guidance. This is essentially an experience in faith – faith in your fears or faith in the divine.

Your every thought, feeling, and action has a biological and social, personal and global consequence. Therefore the richest contribution you can make to your personal life experience, to humanity and the planet is for you to make choices rooted in the benevolent good of all that is.

This is the energy center that encourages you to use your personal power to create with good judgment, communication projects and art. If you’re in a signing, performing, teaching or public speaking profession, you’ll especially want to nurture and keep your fifth chakra in balance and harmony.

I always wanted to be a teacher and healer — but the business part of it was not something I was prepared for. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t make sense out of goals and timelines.

That all changed in March of 2009 when I took a fantastic Magnetic Goals class from Cathy Demers (photo on left). Within the four weeks of her class, I had a plan I could live with and specific directives to keep me focused and growing my business.

But I’m getting ahead of myself here. I am so excited about who Cathy is and what she has to offer, that I’m inviting you to her free one hour teleseminar. I know it’s sort of a last minute thing here on my part, but you can get the recording of the teleseminar just by registering. You can listen to the recording when it suits you best… and you’ll want to take notes on the rich content she shares.

Feeling isolated or bitter, acting possessive or jealous are red flags that your heart chakra is under attack.

Anything affecting your heart chakra is something you want to pay attention to. Repressed emotions, and chaos in love and relationships, are starting points for stress that triggers cardiac problems.

To clear out these energy blocks before they cause physical distress, know these signs of when your fourth chakra is in trouble and needs your conscious intervention.

The fourth or heart chakra is the center of love and relationships. When this chakra is balanced and in harmony with your other 6 basic chakras:

• you bring compassion, empathy, and self-acceptance into your relationships,
• you’ve got appropriate boundaries, and you can move on when a friendship breaks up.

When your fourth chakra is unbalanced or blocked, you may experience:

Poor self esteem, passive behavior as well as aggressive dominating energies all come from the same chakra in the solar plexus.

Whether you’re talking about spiritual awakening and enlightenment, or living a spiritual life with practical everyday mysticism, you’re going to want to know this.

A profound piece of wisdom says: “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.”

What makes this a terrific practice for a spiritual exercise is this:

“Tell me and I’ll forget” lets you know right up front that no one wants to be preached to. No one wants to hear how you think they should be living their life, where you think they made a poor choice, or what you suggest they must do to fix it.

Whether you are training your children at home or working with study groups or support groups, “show me and I may remember” doesn’t accomplish everything you expect either. You can be one of them, among them, and walking your talk. But there is still a distance to go to reach into the psyche and soul of others.

If you’re having concerns or problems with impotence, rigidity, or sex addiction and obsessive attachments, consider getting some healing work done on your sacral chakra.

Located at the bottom of the abdomen, this second of the seven basic chakras, governs the activities of your genitals, lower back, and hips.

If you want to assess the strengths and weakness of your sacral chakra, consider if any of these points resonate with you.

When your sacral chakra is balanced and harmonized within your entire chakra system, you understand, protect, and pursue your rights to feel your emotions, and to have appropriate wants and desires. You have a healthy sexuality, enjoy pleasurable experiences, and allow yourself to feel your feelings.

When your sacral chakra is traumatized and stunted, you may experience:

• Frigidity and impotence
• Rigidity and emotional numbness
• Fear of pleasure

Working with the laws of attraction and manifestation, we may be very good at getting clear on what we want, and being energetically aligned with our goal.

The challenge comes when we get to the part about allowing it to come to us.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been trying to get my birdbath outside and setup on my patio. I knew the pedestal base was in the garage next to the automatic door. It’s the only thing that fits in that tiny corner. And I’ve seen it every time I opened the door to shovel the snow that blew up against the door.

I was sure the top of the birdbath was in the basement. I knew I wanted to take good care of it because it’s a handmade ceramic bowl from my aunt. But when I looked, it wasn’t down there. One of my friends called twice, and stopped over with her kids in the car, just to help me pull out and set up my birdbath. I had to turn away her generous offer, and keep looking for the missing part.

Again this week, I went back out to the garage and looked at the base thinking, “Where is the rest of you?” My eyes shifted to the shelving unit hidden alongside the SUV. In this tiny one-car garage, there’s no room to open the doors on both sides of a big SUV at the same time. There’s no room to walk between the car and the shelving unit in there, much less to see what’s on the shelves with the car parked next to it. So it caught me totally by surprise to see, less than three feet away, on top of a bag of potting soil, the gorgeous hand painted bowl sitting in all its glory.

The minute I let go of thinking it could only be in the basement, I could see it where it had always been, just a few feet away from the base.

Physical safety, survival needs, finances and personal integrity are standards that tell you how healthy your base or root chakra is.

Your chakras are the seven energy centers lined up and down your spine from the crown of your head to your tailbone.

The base or root chakra is located at your tailbone. If this energy center is traumatized or shut down, you may be experiencing:

• Strong and disabling fears of anything this is out of control and feels like a threat to your safety and survival: an aggressive dog, an angry parent or partner, raging flood waters, a tornado or hurricane;
• Persistent and unfounded fears that there won’t be enough food, clothing, heat, medical help to take care of you and your basic needs;
• Haunting and worrisome fears that you are going to lose everything you own, you will be out on your own and won’t belong anywhere, you will have to compromise your values in order to survive, you will be laid off or lose your job.

If your root chakra is warped and overly active, you may have a tendency towards obesity, hoarding, greed, and materialism.

Marsha’s son failed the first three physical fitness tests in boot camp. She called me on a Thursday afternoon and asked if I could help her son with a “clearing”.

I said that there were two possible outcomes here. One was that her son would pass the last PT exam. The other was that Spirit didn’t want him in the military, and he wouldn’t pass that exam. I asked her to be neutral and unattached to the outcome so that her own energy would not affect the work I was about to do.

I did the clearing work for her son with Spiritual Response Technique. This is a process my High Self uses to research this young man’s past lives. What we are looking for is past life experiences he had in the military, that are now blocking him from qualifying and serving in this lifetime. There could also be self-limiting programs running that tell me he’s not good enough, he doesn’t deserve, he can’t step up to this challenge. The whole process took me close to half an hour.

Dig deep and take an inventory on how wealthy you really are!

Appreciate your sharp mind! Do you have creative ideas for writing books, songs, or plays? Are you a great problem solver who can find solutions where no one else is looking? Do you have a skill for organizing projects and events? Can you put everything together timely and coordinated?

All of these are important and valuable assets! Look around your community and internet groups to see how you can share, volunteer, and even get paid for what comes so naturally to you!

Count your humor! If you’re the one telling jokes and lifting spirits, there’s a place for you. Too many jobs are way too serious. Too many everyday routines are way too boring. Wherever you can bring a smile and a chuckle, your presence is golden. Your lightheartedness is priceless.

Exercise your muscle! Are you young enough and strong enough to mow lawns, rake leaves, and weed gardens? Lucky you! There are many people who would love to meet you, and maybe even hire you. Can you walk the dog, shovel the sidewalk, and bring in the mail in bad weather for the elderly or sick in your neighborhood? You will have friends for life!

What if you had a chance to clean up your unfinished business, right the wrongs, and mend the relationships you messed up in your past life times?

That’s exactly what happens when we work together in an energy clearing session called Spiritual Response Technique.

It’s spiritual because it’s your higher consciousness, and my higher consciousness, talking to me about your Soul Records/Akashic Records. We’re looking for the situations you got yourself into that caused great harm to yourself or to others.

When we bring awareness into that lifetime and its problems, we can choose to let go of the negative energies, and send and ask for forgiveness to and from all persons involved. Then I ask our High Selves to remove all the mistakes and bad judgments from your Soul Records. Only the good experiences and positive values remain.

Let me give you an example. David was having some problems with his only son. Since David’s divorce, his young son was rebellious at home and not getting along at school. I researched David’s past lives to find the source of this friction between him and his son.

Can you speak your truth, say what you feel, and own your personal thoughts and feelings? It sounds simple enough. But let’s look at what’s behind that question.

Do you ever feel that you don’t have something worthwhile to say at a meeting or gathering of friends?

Are you afraid that if you would say something, no one would pay attention or actively continue that conversation with you?

Have you ever felt that you had an answer to a question or solution to a problem but couldn’t share it?

Did you feel that someone would say to you, “Who do you think you are?”

Those were the questions I wrote about in the spiritual allegory, “The City of Chains: The path of self-empowerment.” (Chapter 13 in Pathways: Tales for the Spiritual Seeker)

Every time you shut down saying your truth, sharing your wisdom, telling others what you think or how you feel, you might as well put a chain and padlock around your neck. That is what happened in the story.

And like in the story, you can get so used to your chains and self-limitations that you forget they are even there.

A psychic attack can feel like you’re surrounded, suffocating, and quickly sinking into depression.

Psychic attacks can be created and manipulated by people who know how to use thought energy to wound others physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

But, more often, the attack is coming from energy beings that are mean and dangerous. They happen to be in and out of most people’s lives. Because energy beings are not in a physical body, most people don’t know who these beings are, or what they are doing to you.

Here are some clues that you may be affected by what we call dark entities:

• You get up in the morning fatigued, wiped out, and with very little energy to get going – and you have no medical conditions to cause this.
• You are listless through most of the day, nothing inspires or motivates you.
• You are quickly triggered into angry shouting matches, physical abuse, and there is no bottom to your rage.
• You are sad, reclusive, and despondent.
• You are tired at night but can’t sleep. You are restless, tossing and turning all night without a medical reason to cause this.
• You can’t focus, can’t concentrate, and amble aimlessly through the day.
• You feel like overdosing, getting drunk, or committing suicide.
• You feel like somebody dumped all their “stuff” on you.

It’s real – all of it. I deal with this in Spiritual Response Technique sessions. I find that some people who have a few drinks at a bar can pick up these dark entities there. Very sensitive people don’t even need to be under the influence of alcohol to be affected by dark entities. They can be very caring empaths who unknowingly listen to everyone’s problems, and end of carrying those burdens personally.

Julia’s sore knee meant surgery, long and painful therapy, and another summer without a garden.

She reluctantly packed away her dreams to join her grown children on a western ranch for an extended vacation.

As she checked in with me about once a month, I noticed the longing she had for her time with nature and her children.

I also noticed that she said she and her husband weren’t spending quality time together. He had his volunteer work in town, his bowling buddies in the evenings, and he seemed to have the life he wanted. She would have to make do with whatever she could for herself.

This is where our Spiritual Response Technique clearing work became interesting. Since I use a pendulum and charts to discern what her High Self wants to tell me, I have to totally go with the flow of intuitive information the High Self gives me. I let go of whatever I think the problem is, or the solution should be.

Is your blood pressure climbing, your temper ready to boil over, or your moodiness ready to crawl into a hole and take you with it?

What happened? Did your boss harass you or a co-worker ridicule you? Did the waitress take forever to bring your lunch, or you couldn’t find a convenient parking space at the mall? Did you come home for some support and refuge, only to find your spouse is late for supper or your lover cancelled plans for the weekend?

These emotional pitfalls are what many of my clients and students talk to me about. They don’t like the way it makes them feel powerless and victimized, but they can’t find their way out of it.

Here’s one of the techniques I teach them to restore their emotional balance, to feel grounded, and in control of their feelings.

There is a plan and it is good. It’s always been here and available to everyone.

The problem is that we aren’t looking in the right direction for the answers, the solutions, and the plan.

We can’t change the weather, and a whole lot of other things in life. We can change our attitude about it and not push against “what is”.

Feel yourself relax into a neutral place, a peaceful state of mind by gently reminding yourself that this is “what is” right now. You don’t have to like it, disagree with it, or protest against it. Let it be what it is, and the tension and reactivity lets go of you. Find something positive that feels good to you, and tune into that.

Most of us get triggered, but very few of us know why our buttons are getting pushed, and reactivity scores another victim.

It happened to me on a Saturday afternoon in early summer. I set out for my usual walk down a country lane. I asked my partner to watch the weather, as it was overcast, and I don’t like getting wet. He said he’d get in the car and come and get me the minute it started to sprinkle.

The sprinkles came and he didn’t. The rain came and he didn’t. On the way back home, drenched and shivering, there were thousands of things going on in my mind! The pressure inside of me was boiling like a volcano ready to blow.

The confrontation we had was fueled with my suppressed feelings of betrayal, abandonment, loss and grief. My response was totally out of proportion to the situation.

I didn’t know that this was what reactivity was all about. The first drop of rain and no sign of his car in sight were my triggers. No one pushed my buttons – I allowed my ego to use me, abuse me, and to twist the circumstances around to get me to play the victim. And the more time and energy I put into my reactivity, my defending my victim position, the deeper I went into negative thoughts and feelings. The more time and energy I put into my reactivity, the stronger my ego got.
