Sacred Articles: Clearing Up Our Ocean Of Consciousness by Michelle Maniaci, Licensed Physical Therapist, Yoga Therapist, Energy Healer

Shamans believe that the earth represents an outward manifestation of our inner state and consciousness. We positively impact the earth with our thoughts and actions, and we can learn much about our collective inner state when we look at the current state of our Mother Earth. Polluted, depleted and filled with toxic chemicals, she is in dire need of global support, nurturing and respect.

Protect and nurture our Mother earth today by being aligned with her Divine Frequency. We can all contribute to a universal clear-up of our ocean of consciousness that has created the chaos.

10 Tips for Clearing Our Ocean of Consciousness

1. Stop the pollution of the earth with energy that rises from your thoughts filled with judgment, criticism, gossip, hatred, frustration, and/or anger towards oil producers, the government, and anyone involved with the oil spill. Hurtful thoughts only add to the pollution problem. Trust that the Divine knows why this hardship has occurred.

2. Focus on solutions. You might not be able to directly volunteer in the oil spill clean-up, but you can clean up and recycle every day, eat organic and toxic-free food without preservatives and dyes. If needed, seek nutritional counseling to empower yourself with the healthiest, most nutrient-rich foods available to keep your body clean and nourished. Focus on solutions in your life and think creatively.

3. Clear up your thoughts. THINK clear thoughts that are in alignment with your Authentic Self. Pure thoughts lead to pure action, raises the collective consciousness, and nourishes Mother earth and everyone in your presence. Wish well for others. Put on the shoes of your enemy and try to sit in their situation to better understand where they could be coming from. Replace hate and resentment with compassion and forgiveness.

4. Surrender thoughts to just being present in the moment. Let go of fear, stress, tension, and habitual thought streams that no longer serve your higher purpose. Be a blank canvas. Pause to breathe yourself fully into the present moment, remind yourself of how connected we all are to one another and nature, and energy that is beyond space and time. Allow your actions to be created from that space of deep peace within us all. Witness instead of making judgments and being critical. Let go of your past to be fully be alive in the present moment. Nature and Mother earth are always in the present moment.

5. Notice the beauty that is within and all around us. Remind yourself that we are all Divine manifestations in physical bodies. Focus your mind to see beauty instead of dwelling on imperfections.

6. Allow gratitude to fill your heart with forgiveness, compassion, and acceptance for what is. Allow your sensations and feelings to flow in your body. Feel so that you may heal our earth. Take inventory of the individuals who may have hurt you in the past. Forgive them all and wish them well. They are you and you are them. We are all one. There is no separation. Clean out your heart and just allow yourself to flow in every moment in the present. Fill your heart with unconditional love for your self, the whole universe, and all of us in it. Your new heart will help to illuminate the earth and radiate energy that heals and uplifts all those who are in your presence and in our oceans.

7. Learn to breathe with your diaphragm to align, clear, and heal yourself and the universe. A breath that is based on fear, stress, and ego will perpetuate Mother earth’s problems. Learn to breathe in your life to the fullest with your Divine Diaphragm to change the world.

8. Ask, “How may I be helpful?” Constantly notice how you may assist, instead of just thinking about your gains. Embrace service, BE a servant for others. Balance giving with receiving.

9. Take time to do activities in your life that raise love, pleasure, joy, and bring you satisfaction. Make a list of these activities. The more you celebrate life, enjoy the moments and fill your life with love, joy, the more others do the same, and you raise the frequency of the whole universe. Every action and thought IS significant.

10. Solitude Is Sacred. Connect to your Authentic Self and Higher Purpose. Let go of all thoughts and take time to ask yourself, “Why am I here?” “What gifts or talents do I have to offer our world?” When we align with our True Purpose, we are better able to serve the universe where we placed ourselves in the first place to accomplish our unique missions. We are all here to bring love and light into the world in our own unique way. Start living your Truth to raise your Divine Frequency and the universal frequency. Let go of fear and insecurity. You are good enough. If you are thinking it, you are meant do be doing it. Take time to be with your Divine Self. We benefit from being alone to recharge and reconnect to our whole Self so we may be ALLONE.

Nature is sweetness, beautiful, peaceful, colorful, pure, respectful, dynamic, energy-efficient, harmony and balance. Our intellect, ego and mind have thrown nature off balance. May we all forgive ourSelves today and focus on solutions with a loving and clear ocean of consciousness.
