5 Things You Must Know ABOUT YOUR SPIRITUAL CALLING

By Humanity Healing Photography by Canva Pro

OMTIMES | March 2022

The word "Calling" comes from the Latin clamare, which means calling out, calling, and making noise. But this definition that we found in the dictionary seems incomplete given the large number of meanings that "Calling" manages to represent WHAT IS "THE CALL?" It can mean the voice that echoes within us and represents the beginning of a significant shift in the way we see the world, how we see ourselves and how we behave with ourselves and others. There is no right time or place for us to receive the call. It usually comes at times of crisis, grief, financial difficulties, or when we simply have the distinct feeling that something is missing in our lives.

It is a kind of awakening consciousness. We are invited to leave inertia aside to pursue our dreams, open new paths, explore different experiences, set new goals, and turn them into reality. The experience tends to be somewhat chaotic at first. After all, every change causes a feeling of discomfort, and that forces us to seek a quick adaptation to the new reality that presents itself. But while we feel a little lost, we also experience an inexplicable sense of tranquility and inner peace. HOW TO DEAL WITH THE CALL?

No doubt, many mixed feelings are part of this spiritual process.

Accepting our call makes us realize that in our life, we are even the same time creators and creatures, that we define and follow the path traced by ourselves. This can cause fear, which is natural. But overcoming this fear of the unknown, facing the obstacles that appear along this path is more than what I need: it's essential to take the following steps. Otherwise, our dreams, aspirations, and desires, which so much populate our mind, are reduced to it. It's like creating a beautiful project for building a house: nothing will come out of the paper if we don't get our hands dirty. As a result, our dreams don't come true. Accepting and responding to your spiritual call can cause some problems in your life. But this usually happens when we decide to put aside our passive version of ourselves and get up to pursue what our heart speaks. What really exists inside? What is the real purpose of your life? The call shows us that it is time to face reality and find your truth.

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too.

Many people feel somewhat confused about how to begin to understand their calling. There is no right or wrong way. What is needed, in fact, is to open your eyes to see more clearly the world around you and the world that exists within you. Here are 5 tips to help you better understand this process that brings together learning, expanding consciousness, and lots of love. 1. OBSERVE THE WORLD The world we live in is complex because it is full of challenges. Try to pay attention to everything that happens in it, how it works, how people relate to each other in this world. Does everything work flawlessly for you? Or can you imagine any changes you would make to it if given the opportunity?

OMTIMES | March 2022

2. OBSERVE YOUR INNER WORLD How do you feel about this new universe inside of you? We call it the "inner world" or "inner planes." How do you react to the challenges that present themselves? First, make an effort to realize that changes also occur inside you, just as it happens out there. That way, you start learning the real meaning of everything. It's as if the veil that covers your eyes is removed, and everything starts to make sense. 3. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU FEEL During this observation, you realized that the world does not revolve around your navel.

That your problems exist and need attention, but those others have issues too. How do you feel about other people's situations? If their suffering makes you feel sad, this is an important step. Becoming sensitive to the pain of another makes you experience a feeling of empathy and compassion. The result, in many cases, is the emergence of an enormous desire to transform this unpleasant scenario into a more beautiful reality. To seek solutions to change what is a dream today into a reality in the future.

4. LET YOURSELF BE INVOLVED BY THE GOOD FEELINGS

Thinking about doing good becomes a necessity and an inner guideline. You discover what motivates you, what makes your heart beat faster. If before you expected reciprocity, now you help without expecting anything in return. Without realizing it, you try to be by the side of people who share the same energy and start to take more care of your diet, prioritizing what makes you happy. Positivity has gained space, and this is very good.

OMTIMES | March 2022

5. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CALL IS

The honest answer is within you. First, realize the issue that matters most to you and observe how it develops through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. That way, you will finally understand the reason for your calling. Once you discover your purpose, you will be ready to roll up your sleeves and start working towards your goals and spiritual commitments.

PSALM 90

FOR REFLECTION AND SELF-KNOWLEDGE By Cathedral of the Soul Ministries

Self-knowledge and balance: those are key Factors to a conscious and happy human being. In times where we constantly live on autopilot, we go through life without paying attention to our surroundings, much less find time to reflect on our being and life. In Psalm 90, the Psalmist is Moses. That's right! The oldest author of the Holy Bible. In addition to writing the Pentateuch, he took the time to write the oldest psalm in the collection.

He was probably facing one of the many difficult times in the desert when he wrote it. So he says: "Satisfy us in the morning with your loyal love, and all our days we will sing happily. Give us joy for the time you afflicted us, for the years in which we suffered so much".

He had seen and gone through a lot of pain and suffering, but his prayer is from someone completely sincere. It's like he's saying, "I've suffered too much, Lord, take me to another level." Psalm 90 – THE VIRTUE OF REFLECTION Representing healing and reflection resources for the body and soul, the Psalms of the day have the power to reorganize our entire existence, thoughts, and attitudes. Each Psalm has its power and, for it to become even greater and enable its goals to be fully achieved, the chosen Psalm must be recited or sung for 3, 7, or 21 days in a row, with faith and perseverance. The same applies to the psalms of the day related to moments of reflection and selfknowledge. Not reflecting on our actions and thoughts can make us follow a path where we do not seek what brings happiness to our lives, becoming unproductive and losing part of our precious time on Earth. The world is full of the most different and complex events and reflecting on them is of paramount importance to guide ourselves correctly. Free will rightly makes us responsible for directing our history. However, we may find it difficult to understand the power we have in our hands. For this, spiritual influences will always be ready to guide and guide us on this journey. With the psalms of the day, it is possible to dedicate this communication with the divine and obtain the necessary reflection for a full life.

Psalm 90 can provide you with such heavenly contact and full knowledge of all your afflictions and abilities to overcome them. Lord, you have been our refuge from generation to generation. Before the mountains were born, or before you formed the Earth and the world, yes, from eternity to eternity, you are God. You reduce man to dust, and say Return, children of men! Because a thousand years in your eyes are like the day off yesterday. Like a watch in the night. You carry them away as by a torrent; they are like sleep; they are like growing grass in the morning. In the morning, it grows and blooms; in the afternoon, it is cut and dried. For we are consumed by your anger, and by your fury, we are troubled. Before you, we put our iniquities, in the light of your face, our hidden sins. For all our days are passing away in your indignation; our years are over like a sigh. Our life span is seventy years, and if some reach eighty years of age because of their strength, their measure is weariness and weariness, for it passes quickly, and we fly. Who knows the power of your anger? And your anger, according to the fear that is due you? Teach us to count our days in such a way that we reach wise hearts. Turn to us, Lord! Until when? Have compassion on your servants.

O M TIm e s | M ar ch 20 2 2

VERSES 1 AND 2 "Lord, you have been our refuge from generation to generation. Before the mountains were born, or before you formed the earth and the world, yes, from eternity to eternity you are God". Psalm 90 begins with the exaltation of the security provided by Divine protection. Creator of heaven and Earth, everything belongs to Him. Therefore, we are under His protection and tutelage.

Satisfy us in the morning with your kindness, that we may rejoice and rejoice all our days. Rejoice for the days when you afflicted us and for the years when we saw evil. Let your work appear to your servants and your glory to their children. Let the grace of the Lord our God be upon us and confirm the work of our hands upon us; yea, it confirms the work of our hands. INTERPRETATION OF PSALM 90 Psalm 90 can put us in touch with powerful spiritual forces. It is also known as the Psalm of confidence, helping us to strengthen our faith. So, with a lot of focus and the certainty of being answered in your prayer, check out the interpretation of Psalm 90 below.

VERSES 3 TO 6 "You reduce man to dust, and say Return, sons of men! Because a thousand years in your eyes are like yesterday, and like a watch in the night. You carry them away as by a torrent; they are like sleep; they are like growing grass in the morning. In the morning, it grows and blooms; in the afternoon, it cuts and dries". In these verses, we follow Moses in his demonstration of respect for God, the One who holds power over our lives, deciding the right moment to abandon existence. Yet, at the same time, here we have a certain connotation of sadness when realizing that life is too short — despite accepting and delivering it into God' s hands. VERSES 7 TO 12 "For your anger consumes us, and by your fury, we are troubled. Before you, we put our iniquities, in the light of your face, our hidden sins. For all our days are passing away in your indignation; our years are over like a sigh.

O M TI me s | M ar ch 20 2 2

O M TIm e s | M ar ch 20 2 2

Our life span is seventy years, and if some reach eighty years of age because of their strength, their measure is weariness and weariness, for it passes quickly, and we fly. Who knows the power of your anger? And your anger, according to the fear that is due you? Teach us to count our days in such a way that we reach wise hearts". In a clear plea for mercy, Moses calls upon God to guide us in the path of light and give us wisdom, for only then will we be able to find a direction, a purpose in our lives. Especially in verse 12, there is a request for Divine help, for the Lord teaches us to value life and go through this existence without suffering. VERSES 13 AND 14 "Turn to us, Lord! Until when? Have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with your kindness, that we may rejoice and rejoice all our days".

So that we can live in peace, security, and complete happiness, Moses asks that God is always renewing his love for his children, as well as the hope in our hearts. VERSE 15 "Rejoice in the days when you afflicted us and, in the years, when we saw evil." In verse 15, Moses refers to the pain and difficulty of living without following in God's footsteps; but that those days are gone, and now all the bad times have turned into learning. Before the Lord, everything is happiness and fullness". VERSES 16 AND 17 "Let your work appear to your servants and your glory to their children. Let the grace of the Lord our God be upon us and confirm the work of our hands upon us; yes, it confirms the work of our hands". Finally, Moses asks God for all the inspiration necessary to perform great deeds in the name of the Lord. These achievements are enduring and lasting, so that future generations will be able to appreciate and follow through with the teachings of Divine faith and wisdom.

WHAT’S THE DEAL ABOUT BEING PSYCHIC?

By John Holland

As a boy, I was the one who saw things differently; I was the one who felt and heard things that others didn’t seem to notice; and I was never really understood. As I got older, I began to realize that I wasn’t that different after all—in fact, there were others like me! Some chose to speak up, while others tried to hide it and push it away in a vain attempt to be normal. But being psychic or intuitive is normal. It’s something that we’re all born with to assist us while we’re here on this planet. So, what’s the deal about being psychic and what does it really mean? Put simply, as spiritual beings, we are able to access, receive and transmit information that reaches beyond our physical body and our natural five senses. Throughout history, cultures all over the world have honored their spiritual principles and maintained a deep belief that human beings consist of more than just physical bodies. Traditions were created with rituals (such as chanting, dancing and meditation) that are still used to this day to remain connected to Spirit and to fully utilize spiritual abilities. Psychic abilities aren’t exclusive to any particular group. The North American Indians have always had a strong belief in the afterlife and their own soul powers. Aborigines have been known to possess heightened telepathic strengths, which enable them to communicate telepathically with each other over many miles. In the East, children are educated from an early age about the spiritual energy systems of the human body and its centers.

Each and every one of us is equipped with a complex and highly tuned inner guidance system, which we can regularly tap in to by using our extrasensory abilities. Receiving psychic information is all about energy. Everything is made up of energy—people, places, and even objects store energy. Since we, too, are energy, we can receive and read information via our psychic senses.

JOHN'S MESSAGE I often compare being psychic to the way a television works. We can’t see TV signals through the airways because they vibrate at such a high frequency, yet we know they’re being transmitted. Our television sets then receive these signals and they’re “descrambled” to form a picture on our screens. Psychic energy works in much the same way—we constantly receive information through our intuition, and the result is an impression or feeling that we didn’t receive via our physical senses. As we develop our psychic strengths, we get better at descrambling. Live a Soul-filled life! p.s. Don't forget that when you tell your friends to join my newsletter list, there's a free meditation to listen to, which is called Raising the Power when you SHARE this with a friend.

CURE BAD EMOTIONS AND NEGATIVITY WITH FENG SHUI Negative emotions can prevent us from feeling well and even cause psychological illnesses such as depression.

But we can say that the feeling springs from within us. Therefore, this inner world is entirely influenced by the way we react to circumstances.

Emotions form a complex world, which depends on various circumstances so that you really have a good, lively, vibrant, and calm feeling inside you. Feng Shui is the study of the energies inside and outside of you. The goal is to create a balance in our home, to facilitate harmony with ourselves. An emotion is a reaction we have to events and situations.

"But pain's like water. It finds a way to push through any seal. There's no way to stop it. So sometimes you have to let yourself sink inside of it before you can learn how to swim to the surface." ― Katie Kacvinsky

MARCH 2022

The five elements also act within us, and emotion is directly linked to the water element, making sense since we are 70% composed of water. Whenever you suffer from any annoyance or inconvenience, it generates a response. If you are in balance, you can respond positively and consider what you have learned. But if you are not well internally, it creates sorrow and resentment. When this happens, the water inside you becomes turbid. It becomes water that is not pure, that will no longer react spontaneously, as is a natural state, to the events of the day today. The internal imbalance of emotions causes the Tao to move away. The most significant meaning of Feng Shui translates into placing each human being with their unique particularities in their personal path to have increased satisfaction, learning, and Evolution. In this case, Feng Shui can act in a very interesting and effective way, starting to reach a new point of balance within us. Below, we listed an emotion healing exercise by using Feng Shui. FENG SHUI RITUAL FOR CURE OF NEGATIVE EMOTIONS

This little ritual teaches you to integrate your feminine and masculine sides. The ceremony aims to balance both sides, which must be in equilibrium to manifest our essence more serene, safer, and more satisfying way.

Emotional problems show difficulty in dealing with our own personalities. Its causes are diverse, but the main reason may be our low self-esteem, usually formed during childhood. As a result, we may have experienced poorly resolved situations, leaving marks that influence and maybe even hinder our lives. Emotions must be accepted and understood to open the doors to beneficial feelings, which sprout in light and pure hearts. You can do this ritual alone and be open to new perceptions. In your room, place a glass with 2/3 of drinking water near you. Then, write down all the painful memories you come from male individuals - be it your father, close relatives, teachers, siblings, colleagues, or friends. Then, use a sheet to write on each person.

Do not make a great effort for this. Instead, write naturally about the memories that may arise in your head, from your memories. Light a small fire in an iron container (it can be a mini cauldron) and, after reading what you wrote, burn each of the pieces of paper saying: "I forgive you for not being the person I wanted you to be. I forgive you, and now I set you free." Finally, I burned dried orange peels in the sun in the cauldron. You must do the same for the important female figures in your life such as grandparents, mothers, sisters, teachers, colleagues, and friends. Repeat the whole ritual for each one and say: "I forgive you for not being the person I wanted you to be. I forgive you, and now I set you free."

Finally, you must forgive yourself by reading before bed for 27 days the following prayer to achieve emotional harmony: "I am seeking to remove all the inner blockages that hinder my Evolution and cause me disharmony. Therefore, I bind myself to my Being of Light, asking Him to help me in the work of Forgiving. PRAYER OF RECONCILIATION WITH ALL THAT IS

I forgive myself for everything I have done to this day that is not aligned and harmonized with the laws of Love. I forgive all people who have in any way offended, insulted, prejudiced, or caused me unnecessary hardship and suffering. I sincerely forgive those who rejected me, hated me, abandoned me, betrayed me, ridiculed me, humiliated me, intimidated me, or deceived me. I especially forgive those who provoked me until I lost patience and reacted violently to make myself feel filled with shame, remorse, and guilt. I apologize to all the people I have consciously or unconsciously offended, prejudiced, or hurt by my thoughts and words for what I have done or failed to do. I accept myself exactly as I am, with my qualities and difficulties, having a consciousness that I am a Divine Being in one of the many phases of Learning and Evolving. But through these teachings, I can take another step towards the Beings of Light and Love, receiving Peace and Balance. Take three deep breaths and say slowly aloud, or mentally, if you prefer: I love, respect, and honor my person. Love always surrounded me.

Divine Light envelops and nourishes me and helps me make the best choices for my life by placing my footsteps on the Soft Path of Conscious Evolution. The confidence that Divine Love frightens away the fear of loving me and my neighbor. Only forgiveness frees us from our Karma. So free, we begin a new life, where to love is, in fact, a good thing." FOR EMOTION CARE Aventurine is a stone indicated to help achieve emotional balance. You can use it as a necklace at the height of the heart. The darker the stone, the greater its power to harmonize the emotional field. You must cleanse your energies every time you use them. Place it on glass with earth or on a selenite stone for three hours. When we study karmic astrology, we find various clues to the dramas we live in our lives. We are all in search of Love. First, however, we need to do a selfanalysis to not repeat the patterns that do not lead us to the path of happiness that I intend to follow. Some people need to start seeing the good side of things and accept the way they are. Then, we must try to change what is possible and plan to follow the right course in our lives. Balance and harmony are everything.

THE RAUSIS TECHNIQUE FOR LUCID DREAMS by Humanity Healing Photo by Canvas Pro

After dedicating years and years to studying lucid dreams, Swiss Therapist Jean Rausis finally developed an incredible technique that takes his last name but promises quick and easy results for entering and traveling in the world of dreams. In his research, Rausis sought to alter and manipulate the conscious state of mind. As a result, his technique achieved acclaimed status, where even beginners could have lucid dreams on the first try. RAUSIS, THE POWERFUL TECHNIQUE FOR HAVING LUCID DREAMS The concept behind the RAUSIS technique goes straight to the point. First, access your memory reservoir: you can sense when an external sound is included in your dream, right? Something like a phone ringing, an alarm, or just someone asking you to wake up.

Well, this ability of the brain to incorporate external noises can be very well explored concerning lucid dreams. For the more untrained or untrained person, when your body hears a noise in "real life," your mind instantly associates it with the dream to make that sound out of context make sense. The RAUSIS method allows you to quickly fall asleep in deep REM sleep. From there, you will reach a hypnagogic state (drowsiness that precedes true sleep), and you will be ready to reach the long-awaited moment of lucid dreaming. According to Jean Rausis, 6 out of 10 individuals can have lucid dreams on the first attempt. At the same time, the other 4 achieve it within 3 shots. Therefore, compared to other techniques that involve external triggers, RAUSIS proved to be extremely efficient.

LUCID DREAMS: HOW TO HAVE THEM OFTEN! HOW TO HAVE LUCID DREAMS WITH THE RAUSIS METHOD? You will need two basic items to practice this technique: a cell phone and an alarm clock (or two cell phones, or two alarm clocks, or a cell phone with the necessary settings). Now just follow the steps below: SET AN ALARM Get the first alarm clock and set the alarm exactly three minutes before the next alarm clock. The alarm volume should be loud and clear, and you're the one who sets the time. You can practice the technique both in the morning and during your night sleep. The important thing is that you feel tired enough to sleep. It is important to note that the second alarm should not go off "infinitely." Instead, get some device that repeats the noise only for a certain amount of time (between 30 and 60 seconds), and then stop.

March 2022

If you are exposed to the noise of the second alarm for a long time, the chances that you will wake up are very high, and that is not what you want here. PRESS THE "SLEEP" BUTTON WHEN IT RINGS When the first alarm sounds, activate "snooze" mode immediately. It's important to tell yourself that the next sound you hear will be present in your dreams. This warning will leave your mind waiting to hear another alarm. That is to say, keep the first alarm device right next to you. Then, as soon as it rings, open your eyes slightly, turn off the alarm and go back to sleep, knowing that second time will ring.

Your sleep should not be interrupted, and the function of the first alarm is to put you in a short REM state. LISTEN TO THE NEXT ALARM As soon as you go back to sleep, within 3 minutes, the next alarm will go off. This noise should be audible enough. And from there, the sound should appear in your dreams, included in some context of the story created by your mind. YOU ARE IN A LUCID DREAM You are now in a hypnagogic state, and finally, you can have lucid dreams. Enjoy, for this is the stage where you can do anything you want. However, it is important that, within the dream, you move away from what is emitting noise (in this case, your alarm) so that you are then free to command your dreams.

THE IMPORTANCE OF INDUCING AN HYPNAGOGIC STATE In the RAUSIS method of lucid dreams, the focus is precisely on achieving this state. And it should happen the moment you turn off the first alarm, and your body wants to go back to sleep. From there, you've implanted a trigger and a voice in your mind that should be warning you that another alarm will go off—at which point a short hypnogogic state begins. When you are partially awake and partially asleep, you reach the ideal state for having lucid dreams. TECHNIQUE SUCCESS DETAILS Although it sounds simple, some details need to be tweaked for the RAUSIS technique to work as it should. First, see what the main topics to have lucid dreams as quickly as possible are. ACCURATELY SET THE VOLUME OF YOUR ALARMS Adjusting the volume of your alarms is one of the most important details, especially the second one. After all, if the volume is turned up too high, it will wake you up; and if too low, it will let you remain asleep. A tip is to perform some tests before using the technique for real. Set a volume and keep adjusting it until you reach a threshold. The sound of the first alarm should wake you up without scares, and the second should just be enough to penetrate your subconscious without waking you up.

3 MINUTES BREAKDOWN IS NOT A STANDARD During the step-by-step technique, we gave you a tip to set a 3-minute interval between one alarm and another. However, this is just a standard number, and it can vary depending on how long it takes you to go back to sleep. You know yourself better than anyone else, so feel free to set the timeout to 4, 5, or even 6 minutes. Take care of these adjustments just as you handled the volume of alarms. DON'T TRY TO FORCE SOUND INTO YOUR DREAMS Even though everything is perfectly defined, your mind may have difficulty including external sound in your dreams. Still, you shouldn't try to force this noise. Not only does this not work, but it can also make the process even more difficult on the next try. Did it not work? Just turn off the alarm, go to sleep and try again at another time. Eventually, your mind must get used to the fact that you have no intention of waking up on the second alarm. This should make it even more likely for the sound to reach your dreams and become a trigger for your lucid dreams. OMTIMES

The Healing Power of Shamanic Practice Shamans are men or women who work with energy and nature for healing. During a shamanic journey, shamans enter an altered state of consciousness that allows them to perceive what is otherwise invisible. Their consciousness travels to supernatural, transpersonal realms that people who aren’t shamans can learn to access as well. In their journeys to the past and the future, shamans gain energies and information that can help them, and others live better lives in the present and set a new course for the future. They do this for the sake of achieving healing for themselves or someone else—even, perhaps, their community. Many people explore shamanism in the hopes of gaining healing powers as a result of shamanic practice.

OMTIMES | MARCH 2022

Shamans believe the places they visit on shamanic journeys are real. I believe that, too, based on the experiences I have had personally and in working with shamans around the world. I say to people who have chosen to walk the shamanic path, “Check in with yourself about what you are experiencing. It’s up to you to decide what to make of it.” Shamanism is based on learning to value your own perceptions, recognizing that there’s more than one way to interpret an experience. Ultimately, we are all left with the task of weaving into our everyday lives the energies and information we may have gained as a result of doing shamanic work.

OMTIMES | MARCH 2022

Perhaps the transpersonal realms shamans interact with are places that exist in other dimensions: places we can be transported to when we leave behind ordinary awareness and our identification with our bodies. Whatever the nature of these realms, shamans mediate between them and the world of their communities, all the while maintaining personal consciousness and will. Shamans work with the past to change the way people’s previous experiences affect them today and with the future to connect them to a better outcome than the one they were headed toward. Like hunters, shamans track for a better future that can be brought back into the present energetically. Shamans also help people to dream into being a new future and new possibilities so that they do not have to continue to live as they have or stay on the same trajectory.

All of this work is done to affect minute-tominute decisions in the present so that ultimately, people can live in ways that are more pleasing to themselves and Spirit. As a Jungian analyst, I saw similarities between what I was doing with my clients in my practice and what shamans do. I had been helping my clients identify past influences on their mindsets and behaviors and guiding them to set goals for what they wanted to experience in the future because of undergoing treatment. It’s often easier to focus on current problems and fixing them rather than try to come up with long-term solutions and imagine what can be experienced in the future beyond just relief from the pain being suffered in the present.

OMTIMES | MARCH 2022

For many, exploring new ways of being or living often takes a backseat to more immediate concerns. I find it’s common for people to lack clarity about what they want to experience in the future—at least during some periods of their lives. Not knowing where you are headed can be stressful and even paralyzing. In talking about what the future holds, you might be able to identify fears about bad experiences that you might have. At the same time, you might have a sense of what kinds of experiences you would find enjoyable or helpful. Shamanic work can often stimulate your ability to begin envisioning new ways of being and operating in the world.

OMTIMES | MARCH 2022

At the beginning of my shamanic training, I wasn’t sure where it would take me, but I was ready to start the process. I had done shamanic work that seemed to heal the physical body—mine or someone else’s. That made me eager to learn more about shamanic techniques for physical healing. The Western medical community is aware of the mind-body connection—the ability of our thoughts and feelings to affect our physical experiences and our health. Carl Jung believed that all physical ailments have a psychosomatic component, meaning that our minds affect our bodies. To me, shamanism was another way of acknowledging and working with the mind-body connection for healing that can be both physical and psychological. However, my main desire in entering a shamanic training program was to satisfy my longing for a richer experience of my life and a closer relationship to God, or Spirit. I wanted to not just believe that we are all interconnected, or accept that idea intellectually, but actually experience it. I wanted to feel that I was a part of a web of energy that encompassed all life and all of creation. Shamans believe that the separation between us and Mother Earth, her trees, her creatures—and the sun, moon, and stars— is an illusion created by the conscious mind.

That notion intrigued me, but it was doing shamanic work, using shamanic practices, that caused me to experience that separation is a trick of the mind. Recognizing and acknowledging our interconnectedness can be powerfully healing for the spirit—and even lifechanging.

He has taught at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago and been on staff at the Replogle Center for Counseling and Well-Being. Learn more at CarlGreer.com.

Whatever your reasons for exploring shamanism, I hope you will go beyond simply reading about this spiritual tradition and use shamanic practices to discover how they can change your life and your perceptions and bring healing to your life.

The Importance of the God Gene

BY JILL MATTSON

To the World's astonishment, in 2004 geneticist Dean Hamer released his scientific finding unveiling a gene that he called the God Gene. His research suggests that spiritualism can, in part, be inherited. The presence of this gene predisposes a person to be spiritual and perhaps even have mystical experiences. To begin this huge undertaking, Hamer quantified "Spirituality" by psychometric measurements. Spiritual characteristics were determined after studying highly spiritual people. Three qualities that the researchers described as spiritual were: "Self-forgetfulness" (becoming totally absorbed in some activity, such as reading). "Transpersonal identification" (feeling connected to a larger universe). "Mysticism" (an openness to believe things that remain unproven, such as ESP). The above three components of spirituality taken together were called self-transcendence by Hamer. This selftranscendence measure of spirituality was heritable by classical twin studies conducted by L. Eaves and N. Martin. Approximately 40% of the variations in self-transcendence were due to genes. By contrast, specific religious beliefs (such as belief in a particular deity) had no genetic basis.

To identify some of the specific genes involved in self-transcendence, Hamer analyzed the DNA and spirituality scores from over 1,000 individuals. As a result, he concluded that people could partially inherit spirituality. This is attributed, in part, to the gene called VMAT2. Hamer concludes that spirituality provides an evolutionary advantage by providing individuals with an innate sense of optimism. This, according to Hamer, has survival advantages hence its presence and growth in the human gene pool.

Many people desire to enhance their spirituality and to provide loved ones with a spiritual influence. To that end, Sharry Edwards, the founder of BioAcoustics, worked with Jill Mattson on the frequencies for the God Gene, VMT2, and the frequency of the activator for this gene and its protein (that provides this gene with a head start for developing spiritual qualities.) Mattson composed 70 minutes of music and inserted the God gene frequencies, that is, the gene, its activator, and protein, in every song for a delightful and uplifting experience. The listener gains the reinforcement and strengthening of their innate spirituality plus many subtle and holistic benefits from the classical musical score. It is an easy and enjoyable experience. One of the tenants of healing with Sound – of expanding yourself with Sound – is that by listening to/and being immersed in specific frequencies and matrices of sounds, our bodies, our energies, even our mental and physical states, can be impacted profoundly.

There are countless documented cases of how Sound can affect and heal us. There are many theories, and though a complete explanation does not exist – a clear picture is emerging – with deeper understandings, intricate connections, and relationships being solidified every year. To capture the essence of what is at work: every living and inanimate thing has an energetic aspect. Sound is vibrational energy, and when the appropriate frequencies of Sound interact with us and our environment (our bodies, our living spaces, pets… etc.), these sound frequencies can alter and transfer our fundamental energies.

The Ancients learned this long ago. Some of these traditions have survived and passed down to us. There are numerous Modern Masters of Sound Healing, some famous, others obscure but fantastic work has been ongoing. Specific Sound Frequencies and Therapies have shown the impact of subjects in numerous ways, briefly described below. Some well-documented areas that have demonstrated results include: Stress reduction and relaxation benefits Sleep improvement Blood pressure reduction & management (even in highly stubborn cases) Pathogen attack and treatment of illnesses (flu and viruses) Relief with breathing issues (Allergy and even Emphysema) Accelerated healing of broken bones and damaged tissues (often bad cases) OMTIMES>COM

Specific frequencies can be "Vibrational Versions" or what Sharry Edwards calls "Frequency Equivalents" TM of a vast array of particular items or compounds, such as: Vitamins and minerals Nutrients and related compounds Pathogen and "Anti-pathogen" agents Human organs/tissues/compounds or components of these items. And many more. The Subtle Energy Connection Sound Energies can interact with subtle Energy for profound changes... Subtle Energy is Energy that has not been directly measured or detected. However, its presence and profound influences are widely accepted in many traditions (including many Ancient Cultures, Spiritual Populations, Alternative Health advocates, and even cutting-edge Scientists...). Subtle Energy is a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. Many believe that Subtle Energy is at the root of many mysteries - such as physic abilities, most "miracles," unexplained healings, and many more phenomena that we know real - but go against our current scientific models. The crucial link between Mattson's God Code Musical Collection and Subtle Energy is that Subtle Energy can carry on Sound Energies.

Further, Subtle Energy interacts with material things (such as human genes) and other forms of Energy. Still, it must be made accessible to us - and that is one of the things that appropriate sound frequencies accomplish. More on Subtle Energy The modern physicist cannot explain the behavior of a fundamental subatomic particle, such as the electron, without invoking a wave nature. Researchers into the body's subtle-energy systems speak of the intricate marriage of matter and Energy. A compelling picture is emerging that paints the human organism as interacting subtleenergy systems. Some people firmly believe that by applying the appropriate vibrational Energy, the subtle-energy states can be returned to the proper balance - restoring health and wellbeing. This understanding is the basis of many ancient healing traditions, such as acupuncture. Earlier work using frequencies derived from living systems: Earlier researchers foreshadowed the idea of deriving frequencies from the God gene. Probably the most famous was Joel Sternheimer. Sternheimer measured the frequency of plant amino acids in their protein and played these sounds back to the plant. The results were impressive. Plants exposed to the frequencies grew several times faster and larger. They were more resistant to disease and pests; the fruit of these plants was much larger and more plentiful. The "music" Sternheimer developed harmonized and "tuned" the plants' internal structures- the end result was far healthier plants. Jill Mattson has produced music with the God Gene frequencies.

THE TECHNIQUE THAT PROMISES TO BRING FINANCIAL CURE March 2022

Reiki is a Japanese natural method of harmonizing and replenishing energy to restore a natural state of balance. It is an ancient practice rediscovered by the Japanese Buddhist monk Mikao Usui in 1919. Through the laying on of hands, the universal energy of Reiki is channeled and directed towards the patient. It is perfect for balancing the fear and insecurity of animals with abandonment syndrome or any other physical or emotional disorder. But what if we said that there is a variation aimed especially at financial healing, in addition to the Tibetan, Shamanic and Christian aspects. It is Called Money Reiki. The technique aims to bring a redefinition of money and the concept of prosperity. It also promises to transform our relationship with them. WHAT IS MONEY REIKI? As we have already introduced, Money Reiki is a financial healing system. The Recent Technique was created in 2005 after the death of Hawayo Takada, a Hawaiian disciple of master Mikao Usui, responsible for bringing Reiki to the West in the 1980s. Developed by Texan and Reiki Master Stephanie Brail, Money Reiki emerged to cure human beings of greed. It also can mitigate the negative thoughts that money can cause — getting sick, destroying, and blinding.

OMTimes| March 2022

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla.

The aim here is to make money a neutral material. It only has the value that we attribute to it. THE SYMBOLS OF MONEY REIKI Some of the most popular Reiki systems are directly connected to the traditional method of Mikao Usui. However, Money Reiki goes the other way. It adopts symbols of its own — including the dollar sign, the worldwide symbol for money. For this therapy to be applied to others or yourself, it is necessary to go through the study, attunement, and initiation. In this case, there are specific forms of application that can only be transmitted to those already initiated in Reiki.

OMTimes| March 2022

HOW IS MONEY REIKI APPLIED?

With the patient lying on a stretcher, Money Reiki is applied by placing the hands on the shoulders and visualizing the symbols. Money Reiki students can even apply on objects such as wallets, bills, and environments such as offices, commercial rooms, and companies.

DOES MONEY REIKI BRING PROSPERITY?

Because it is an energy field, some professionals can even send and apply Reiki through the computer screen or cell phone on the patient's open account.

Although powerful, Money Reiki cannot make someone win the lottery, for example. In fact, this technique opens doors for prosperity to be achieved in the most varied spheres: material, spiritual, and personal, for example.

Money Reiki can be used every day to increase the flow of prosperity, whether in a session, in a financial blessing sent to others, in selfapplication, or at a distance.

Yes, but not in the way you're imagining.

By transforming our relationship with money, Money Reiki allows us as patients to be firmer in their life mission. Thus, you will find the best ways to fully manifest your desires in your life. There are cases of compulsion, or the famous stingy tendencies are also balanced with this type of energy therapy. By working the fear of losing and even prospering, it becomes possible to use money more fairly for oneself and, consequently, society. By bringing out their true mission, the patient can also find a purpose in their career or professional training. And they can work on what gives them pleasure, not just to pay the bills and feel limited.

The Temple Is the World

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. —Buddha[i] The Temple is the World is excerpted from The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters by Mark Nepo, published by St. Martin’s Essentials, May 2020. For more about Mark Nepo, please check out MarkNepo.com or ThreeIntentions.com.

So much to take in, only to let out. So much to learn, only to accept how little we know. So much to resist, only in the end to surrender. We’re refined as we go, made translucent enough to reveal the hidden qualities of being alive. All to regain the simplicity of a dog or a plant. All to find that the space under trouble is our home. There’s one more story, at least for now. A young man determined to find the meaning of life begins his walk in the world.

At first, he thinks everything he sees holds the secret. He crosses a river and feels certain that life is like the river, washing us, against our will, into a greater sea. Then he climbs the mountain on the other side of the river and feels certain that life is like the mountain, bare and unmoving the higher we climb. Then he enters a city and feels certain that life is like the crowds of people, everyone so close though we know very little about each other. In time, he starts to forget what he was after.

“To journey without being changed is to be a nomad. To change without journeying is to be a chameleon. To journey and be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim.” — Mark Nepo

OMTIMES| March 2022

It’s then he meets his teacher, quite unexpectedly. She knows, before he speaks, of all he’s seen and wondered. She greets him with this question, “And so do you want to know how all this works, or would you rather apprentice in your true inheritance?” He doesn’t understand all that she says, but her presence makes him stay for several years. They talk in the mornings, but mostly he mimics what she does. After she chops wood, he sharpens the blade. After she empties the water, he goes to fill it. After she talks of the inheritance of being, he asks question after question. And more than finding answers, he grows to love her. This seems to be the answer for everything. Shortly after he grasps this, she dies, as if she were waiting for him to learn how to love, before she left. In his grief, he tends her chores for months without her. And then in a dream, she whispers, “You must go now and widen your circle.” And so he leaves and continues his walk in the world. Except everything is more colorful and he senses the presence of his teacher everywhere. And so he meets everyone with love. He wanders through cities listening to strangers. He wanders through farm country listening to cows. He wanders into the forest where he listens to the birds and trees. For all he sought as a young man, he’s now finding the same moment, no matter how far he travels. And when the same moment opens, he walks through that moment into the Center of Things. All this makes him terribly sensitive to the plight of others. In time, a young man like himself finds him and calls him his teacher. He laughs, never thinking of himself this way. But remembering the goodness of his teacher, he gently deflects his student’s admiration, saying, “We’re only helping each other stay awake.” And so, it goes. I wish this journey for you. I hope that everything in the world will speak to you—the river, the mountain, the city, the forest. And I wish you many teachers who will bring you to yourself. When we lift the pail together, something happens, akin to stars sparkling in the night. I have run out of ways to describe the journey. Only know this—that in place of wings, God gave us love. [1]“Thousands of candles…” attributed to Buddha, a paraphrase of Section 10 of the “Sutra of 42 Sections” in a Japanese text, The Teaching of Buddha. OMTIMES| March 2022

The Physics of God Unifying Quantum Physics, Consciousness, M-Theory, Heaven, Neuroscience, and Transcendence Compelling and concise, The Physics of God will make you believe in the unity of science and religion and eager to experience the personal transcendence that is the promise of both. The Physics of God is reader-friendly; combining humor and well-chosen analogies to make complex subjects–both scientific and spiritual–easy to understand. There’s no math and there’s no dogma. Unlike many books in this genre that compare only a few concepts of religion with a few facets of science, The Physics of God, is complete. This short book concisely connects all the dots between science and the timeless concerns of religion: miracles, heaven, immortality, consciousness, transcendence, and God. You can’t read this book without being deeply touched by the testimony of scores of mystics or be moved to embrace what you learn to change your life for the better. Your own high spiritual potential will never have felt clearer or more accessible. Author Joseph Selbie shows how science and religion, far from being incompatible, share a deep congruence. He draws from the transcendent testimony of mystics the world over as well as from the findings of string theory, David Bohm’s version of quantum physics, quantum biology, neuroscience, and quantum physics itself to demonstrate that a physics of God is at hand! This book will change the way you think of God. It will change the way you think of science, and it will change the way you think of religion. And it will profoundly and movingly change the way you think of yourself.
