Can You Cleanse Your Karma?

What Is Karmic Energy?

Karma describes the cycle of cause and effect that is the result of our daily actions. If you treat others well, you’ll build positive karma that draws positive things into your life. If you make poor choices that cause others harm, your karma will bring harm to you. Your karmic energy is something that you can mindfully work on to clear away bad energy and promote a more compassionate way of living.

How to Cleanse Your Karma

Over time, negative karma can build up, creating a stagnant pool of gloomy energy. If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or apathetic, or wondering how to clear karma, it’s likely time for a karmic fix. There are several ways you can perform a karma cleaning:

Pursue forgiveness: Ask for forgiveness from those you’ve wronged and freely give forgiveness to others who have wronged you.
Practice gratitude: Instead of focusing on the effects of negative karma in your life, practice regular gratitude for the good things in your life and learn to love yourself.
Examine your motives: Honestly consider the motives for your actions. Make sure that everything you do comes from a place of love and compassion, rather than fear, stress, anger, or frustration.
Cut harmful ties: If someone in your life has become a negative influence, causing feelings of pessimism, dissatisfaction, or unworthiness, it’s time to cut your ties both physically and energetically. Meditate on your connection and visualize energy cords between you dissolving.

Take a mindful approach to your karmic energy and you can clean it out, creating a reservoir of positivity and patience to draw on as you gracefully handle life’s challenges.

Why Is It So Hard To Love Ourselves

Why Is It So Hard For Us To Love Ourselves?

There is something about our society that over time has shown women that they have to be nurturers or caregivers. This not only gives women a skewed self worth ideal, but also sets them up for years of self sabotage for not being enough to someone else.

The opposite is true of how, for years, society has set up men for emotional failure. For men, they are seen as weak or as less than if they show any emotions at all.

Both of these stereotypical ideals of what people are supposed to be and strive for, sets both genders up for burnout, isolation, and a sense of failure.

How do we fight against this? Self love is a good place to start. It is easy to say, “love yourself” and one of the hardest challenges a person can face. Childhood obstacles and trauma, unrealistic expectations of perfection, and measuring people by Hollywood standards make looking yourself in the mirror and saying “I like who I see,” let alone, “I love myself,” an uphill battle.

Where can one begin fighting against this near impossible challenge? Small steps are the best way to attack any journey or mountain that seems too big to undertake.

Make a list of things you like or admire about yourself. Even if there is only one item on your list, start there. Do more of whatever it is that makes you feel that positive way about yourself. If you are proud of your artistic ability, then take a small amount of time each and every day to do something artistic.

If you think you have beautiful hair, then make sure to pamper yourself with special shampoo or a salon visit more often than you have been doing.

Whatever it is that is on your list, embrace it and celebrate it. Once you start focusing on the good things you view about yourself, and feeding into that feeling about you, it will grow and branch out. After a while you will start to see that maybe you have other things you like about yourself too.

The second step to loving yourself is to begin to have compassion for you as you are right now. So many people say “I would be happy if only…” about themselves or who they are. It is an incredibly hard thing to think about yourself and have compassion for who you are right now this minute. The reason for this is because we have unrealistic expectations about ourselves, so much moreso than we do of anyone else.

Think of something you don’t like about yourself, whether it is your body-shape, or your inability to be as strong or as smart as you think you should be. Now imagine your very best friend has those same qualities, I bet you would love them exactly as they are in whatever body, or abilities they have, because you see their worth, not for their body or the capabilities, but because of who they are. Try turning that lens towards yourself.

Loving yourself and what makes you special and a unique individual is a wonderful way to fill your tank for the hard things you have to do every day.

Reiki For Self-Love

Reiki for taking care of yourself is so very important. When you open yourself to self-care through Reiki, you become aligned to your highest self. This is tuning into the essence or ‘energy’ of you, not the literal human you. There can be a big difference. Learning to tune into you, the “true you” is a beautiful place to start.

This process will allow you to start by “letting go” of circumstances that have been holding you back. You are amazing, inside and out. Now is the time to see and feel that version of you — and start living it.

Either literally, or thru visualization, be in a place of utter calm and reverence. Choose a place that feels like the true YOU. Imagine that you are grounded into the earth and connected to your higher power. Feel the compassionate, self-care loving energy resonate inside of you. Celebrate YOU thru your heart chakra and healing green light energy

Now, imagine you are lighting a spiritual fire inside your solar plexus/abdomen with the empowering Yellow light energy. This will reduce and eliminate some of the stuck energy that has been holding you back. By allowing the magic of unconditional love to overcome your low vibrational thoughts, feelings or actions — you shine brighter every day.

Self Love

So much of society today is based around love, the search for love, finding the perfect love, but the basis for all love in this world should start with self love. Self love and self care are important aspects of living an emotionally healthy life. Unfortunately society has taught us that putting ourselves and our own needs as a priority is “selfish” and not the right way to live.

It is important in the hectic day to day way we live now as a culture to realize that if we only focus on others we tend to burn ourselves out. We cannot constantly be giving and loving to others without first loving and caring for ourselves if we want any long term balance.

Think of it as burning an oil lamp constantly without ever thinking about a need to refill it. It will eventually run out and you will be left in darkness.

There are many ways you can give love to yourself, such as meditation, journaling, yoga, Reiki, and massage. But instead of focusing on a one time gift to yourself, try having a self love practice every day. You don’t have to take hours out of your day to do it, if you practice it more often. And as with anything, the more you practice, the easier it will become.

The first thing to remember, no matter what way you choose to feed your soul, is that you must start with compassion for yourself. This can be very difficult. For many people we are taught that we are not worthy unless we are giving to others, or unless we are “proving” our worth by some kind of activity or action.

This is not true. You are worthy of love and compassion just for being you. As you are in this moment, without having to do anything or be any certain way, you are worthy of love and happiness.

Even if you don’t “believe it” in your heart, behave like you do and it will come eventually. There is a reason “fake it till you make it,” is an important mantra. It won’t take long if you truly give love to yourself before you will begin to believe you truly do deserve it.

Everyone is unique, so your version of self love and self care might look different that the next person’s. What you choose as your self-love activity isn’t as important as the way it makes you feel. Choose anything you like to do, go to the movies, listen to an album, read a book, as long as it makes you feel, happy, calm, relaxed or fulfilled. Any of these emotions will start to refill your tank. The important thing is that you seek out activities on a regular basis that make you laugh, or relax the tension in your shoulders, something that challenges your mind, or calms it, whichever is the most fulfilling thing for you.

The more you make yourself a priority, the more energy you will have for everything and everyone else.

Reiki for Love and Romance

When you are searching for love, or looking to deepen your love, Reiki can focus your desires by balancing you and bringing the other into harmony with you. When focused on you and your loved one; Reiki can smooth out the edges and draw you closer, energetically. Once the energy has connected and is flowing with grace and ease, the literal/physical connection between the two of you improves.

Close your eyes and imagine you and your loved one are in a natural or sacred location. Take a couple deep relaxing breaths. Tune into your Heart Chakra, and begin by loving and accepting yourself and your partner. If this is challenging, love a younger version of you and/or your partner. Imagine Pink Loving Energy is flowing down onto and through both of you from above, and flows through your entire bodies and into the earth. The energy continues to flow — you have a continuous fountain of love energy. What a joyous blessing, to appreciate and be thankful for.

Keep your expectations loose and flowing, but always positive and optimistic. During these experiences, you may sense warmth, tingling, temperature change or more. This indicates you are on the right track. If you feel minimal or nothing, that is totally ok, too. We are all unique.

Rituals For Finding Love

Rituals for finding love

If you’re feeling a little lost in love, you may be asking hopeful questions like, “What is a love spell”, and “Do love spells work?” Simple love spells or rituals are mindful activities intended to attract love into your life. These can work as long as you’re not targeting a specific person. You can’t change an individual’s emotions, but you create positive energy that will naturally attract love from the right person.

Mindful Meditation

Manifest the love story of your dreams by meditating on what your life will be like when you’ve found your true love. Don’t give your lover a specific face or name. Simply sense their presence and focus on manifesting a partner that has the right qualities.

Visualize an ordinary day as it would play out with your ideal partner. Do you linger over your morning coffee in the dining room or spend extra time snuggled in bed? Do they send you supportive messages during the day or meet you for lunch on your break? Drawing up a clear image of the life you want will help you manifest it.

Love Spells With Crystals

Certain crystals are known to support self-love and help attract loving relationships. Rose quartz is the most popular of these. Keep a piece under your pillow or bedside the bed, wear rose quartz jewelry, or simply carry one in your pocket. This has the perfect vibration for attracting love.

Gratitude Love Rituals

It’s easiest to attract love when you have a deep well of self-love in place. The best love spells aren’t really spells as much as they’re natures way to attract. Begin a gratitude ritual where you write down the things you’re thankful for and the qualities that you love about yourself every evening. This will draw similar feelings of love and appreciation from others.

Simple rituals can support your own sense of self-love and help love grow with others.

Using Energy Healing to Find Love

What Is Energy Healing and What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing. Energy healing is the practice of manipulating the energy fields around the body. Energy healing is based on the belief that our life force flows through us in channels of energy. These must be free of blockages and flowing smoothly for us to feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy.

Using Reiki for Love

Energy love blockages can stop us from receiving or giving love freely. If you are attuned to negative energy, you will more easily fall into negative patterns. Reiki helps you realign yourself with positive vibrations and move stagnant energy so you’re free from past hurts and open to receive new love.

You can practice reiki love yourself, intentionally adjusting, moving, and clearing these energies. You can also enlist the help of a Reiki practitioner who will use their hands to assist in this energy manipulation.

Practicing Love Energy Healing

There are many ways that you can cultivate loving energy in your life. The energy of love is warm, welcoming, and peaceful. It offers an endless spring of grace to yourself and others. Draw the energy into your life by:

Meditating on the energy cords binding you to past lovers and gently releasing these so you’re free.
Sending out gratitude for the blessings in your single life.
Loving yourself deeply and completely and reaffirming this with mantras or other affirmations.
Manifesting the type of loving energy that you want to feel from others so your energy will attract a similar vibration from your ideal partner.

Surrounding yourself in an energy of love and acceptance will help you draw these emotions into your life from others, as well. Finding love begins with yourself.

What Is Self Love

It’s hard to overstate the importance of self-love. Caring for oneself is often overlooked in the rush to care for everything else around us, but it’s critical that we all take time to nourish and protect ourselves. Proper self-love makes you a stronger and more capable person so you can better serve others as well.

What Is Self-Love

Self-love is an appreciation for yourself that’s nourished through activities that support your physical, mental, and spiritual health. This love of self requires a supportive inner voice, realistic expectations of oneself, and mindful care that nourishes rather than harms.

How to Self-Love

There are many ways that you can practice self-love. Seek those actions that help you feel peaceful, supported, and strong. Some examples of self-love activities include:

Enjoying a healthy diet.
Bathing and grooming oneself with care.
Scheduling regular health care appointments.
Creating a soothing living space.
Setting boundaries for people or activities that harm us.
Engaging in supportive social interactions.
Taking quiet moments for meditation or mindfulness.
Buying only the things you love and discarding those you don’t.

Self-Love Affirmations

Self-love affirmations are statements that you repeat to yourself often to reaffirm important truths. Some affirmations that you might try include:

I am worthy of joy and love.
I love my body and everything it does for me.
I grow and learn every day.
I will not apologize for being me.
I love and accept myself unconditionally.

Write your chosen affirmation on a piece of paper and tape it to the mirror, your car’s visor, the refrigerator door, and anywhere else you’re likely to see it throughout the day. Repeat your affirmation daily until it’s firmly ingrained as a core belief.

Practicing self-love will give you a strong foundation that you can lean on in times of trouble and build on as you manifest the life of your dreams.

Intention At Midnight

Setting an intention is one of the most powerful forces you can wield in your life. An intention is a guiding aim that keeps you in alignment with your desires and goals. It utilizes your creativity to birth new dreams, ideas, and goals. Intentions are different from goals because goals are more action-oriented, while intentions keep us mentally/spiritually focused.

How do I set an intention?

For many people and intention comes to them intuitively, but if that hasn’t happened for you, then reflect on some of the things you are passionate about. Your passions are reoccurring thoughts, feelings, and actions. Notice what you talk about a lot, notice what you dream about a lot and notice what you’ve already done in the past that felt important and good to you. Once you do, then start considering ways of doing more of that.

When is the best time to start an intention?
Whenever you decide to. However, making intentions around that time of in-flow and out-flow will naturally bring more supporting and amplifying energy to your energy. In-flow is when something new is starting in nature, like the sunrise, the clock striking midnight or the New Year starting. Writer out, state aloud or meditate on an intention to start something around these times. For example, the intention of getting in tune with my body can start the goal of signing up for dance lessons.

Out-flow is when something ends in nature, like the sunset, 11:59 PM or New Year’s Eve. Writer out, state aloud or meditate on an intention to end something around these times. For example, the intention to stop procrastinating can be done at the end of the year and once the clock turns midnight, the new intention to be proactive is stated, written and acted upon.

Using Sage For Energy Healing

The beginning of the year is a perfect time to take stock of where you have been and where you are going. It is also an important time to let go of things that have been holding you back. Saging or smudging with sage can be a great way to cleanse yourself of negative energy and keep it from following you into the New Year.

There are several ways to accomplish this. One is to have a bit of charcoal burning down until it is white, then drop bits of dried sage onto it. Sit in front of it and focus on the negative things that have happened to you this past year. Imagine that you are sprinkling the memories as you add the herbs to the charcoal. As the smoke rises and drifts away, so too will the things that you have gone through that have been holding you back, leave you, and allow the healing process to begin.

Letting go of pain and sorrow from the past year can be difficult. Sometimes it takes an act of physical purpose to begin the healing process. To do this you can sit in front of your sage as it is smoking and journal about your last year, putting into words all that has hurt you or held you back and when you are finished, get up and hold the journal, or piece of paper you have written things down on, above the smoke, allowing the smoke to drift over the words and cleanse them from your mind and your life.

A more intense way of using saging or smudging is to use an actual smudge stick which is usually made out of white sage or other cleansing herbs. Light the bundle then blow it out so that it continues to smoke. Pass the smudge stick around your head and then down the front of your body and around to the back of your body, focusing your mind on letting go of the heavy emotional things you have been carrying, as the smoke drifts around you. Imagine the pain and negativity drifting up into the air and disappearing the way the smoke does. Imagine your first steps away from where you were standing create a fresh start or new beginning for you going into the New Year.

Any of these processes will help you to start the New Year off with a clean slate and prepare you for the exciting year to come with an open heart and open mind.
