Empaths often feel energy and emotions more deeply and physically in their body. Akin to a filter in a fish tank or a sponge, empaths automatically without intention, absorb and pull in the energies and feelings of others and often are not sure how to release it. Thus, it is important to have a daily practice to clean lower vibrational energies that accumulate throughout the day &#8211; a spiritual fitness routine. Similar to a physical fitness training program, the more you practice or train, the stronger and more skilled you become. As you practice these meditations, your connection with light strengthens and the cleaning and protection by the light amplifies as well.</p><p>In conjunction with this guided meditation practice, it is also important to explore and develop a deeper understanding of what and who you are connecting with &#8211; God, Our Creator, Source, The Divine Wisdom and Light of the Universe. God does not care what you call Him, what matters is your relationship and desire to seek a deeper understanding and relationship with the Source of All Creation &#8211; this higher power of light and the universe that guides and supports the journey of the soul.</p><p>The opportunity:</p><ul><li><p>Begin each day with this meditation and observe the flow of your day, your thoughts, feelings and emotions and how others respond or behave around you.</p></li><li><p>Ideally, start and end your day with meditation as it is like taking a morning or evening shower, but in this instance an energetic and spiritual shower. Start your day in a higher vibration and mindset and clean your mind, body and spirit from all the lower vibrational energies you may have encountered and absorbed during your day.</p></li><li><p>As always, listen to your intuition and what feels &#8220;right&#8221; for you.</p></li></ul><p></p><p><strong>Functional Meditation of Light: Starter</strong></p><div class="native-audio-embed"

Thus, it is important to consider what and who guides you during a meditation.</em></p><p><em>When you enter into this beautiful sacred space energies, thoughts, intentions are allowed to flow somewhat effortlessly in and out. Therefore, it is often a mindful practice to review and assess the energy, vibration and intention of a guided meditation and the practitioner before starting any meditation practice. Once you have assessed that the energy, vibration and intention are in alignment with you and your journey then embark on your meditation journey.</em></p><p><em>Listen to what is being said and more importantly, listen to your higher consciousness and intuition to the energy of what is being shared. Ask yourself: </em></p><ol><li><p><em>Does this feel in alignment with my soul&#8217;s journey in the highest vibration? </em></p></li><li><p><em>Is this recording or practice safe and supportive of my healing, health and well-being at this time? </em></p></li></ol><p><em>The answers to these questions may change daily. Honor what you feel. If you do not feel in alignment with the meditation or the practitioner, it does not make the meditation or the practitioner &#8220;bad&#8221;, it merely means these energies are not in alignment with you at this time, thus, they may be more in alignment with you at a later time.</em></p><p><em>Remember, every soul journey is unique and every soul shifts in vibration in a non-linear way. Some days or periods of time we are in a higher vibration and in others in a lower vibration &#8211; it is all part of the natural order of things. Practice and journey with compassion, which always includes yourself and others.</em></p><p><em>With this in mind, please review this meditation to asses if it feels in alignment and supportive of your journey at this time.</em></p><p><em>Please know that the audio recording of this guided meditation was recorded in a physical space that was cleared and blessed with divine light with the intention that only the highest vibration of light to support your soul&#8217;s journey allowed to be recorded for you.</em></p><p><em>As this meditation guides you to connect specifically with God / Creator / Divine Wisdom and Light of the Universe, please be sure to practice this guided meditation in a space that feels safe and clear for you. This helps to ensure, especially if you are beginning your spiritual journey, that you are connecting with the highest vibrational energies of Our Creator, pure unconditional love, compassion and light. If at any point, you or the space feels unsafe, stop and ask for God and Archangel Michael to clear any foreign and lower vibrational energies and entities from you and the space and to fill with light. You may also consider sage or palo santo to clear your space prior to meditation or a combination of the Kauila Clearing and Medicine Buddha Healing sprays available on my website (www.kaulana.phd).</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
