Welcome at Flow of Miracles

Dear people,

The spiral is a wonderful healing tool to work with, both in what we can accomplish for ourselves, but also in what happens when things go wrong. In English, spiraling can both mean: decrease or deteriorate continuously as well as showing a continuous and dramatic increase. I've written before on using the Spiral in walking meditation, but today I want to write some more about the spiral as a healing tool.

Why a healing spiral?

Most of the time, people like their growth to be a continuous line trending upward. While I can understand why that's ideal, that's hardly realistic. That would mean that we only take steps forward and our lives continuously improve at the same rate. 

After discussing this, people often talk about how life has it's ups and downs, and then draw a line which dips now and again, but in the end rises higher and higher. That's more realistic than the always upwards trending line. Sometimes we take a step back and then 2 forward, sometimes we are stuck in a dip for a long while, but in the end, we achieve more then we had in the beginning.

What it doesn't show is how healing builds upon healing and pain builds upon pain. It's no wonder we call it 'spiraling' when we talk about mental health. When we can't stop a negative thought, it will often generate another and another and another until we hit rock bottom. Breaking that spiral is so important. At the same time, if we are healing, building positivity upon positivity, we will reach higher and higher. That often means we reach higher and higher levels of healing. Of course that means we regularly revisit earlier themes which sometimes means people mistakenly think they make no progress or fear that they are stuck in a loop.

Why use a healing spiral?

If you know that healing and growth moves into a spiral, you can use it in your healing practice to increase healing as well as speed it up. Who doesn't like speeder results? It means meeting yourself where you are at, but also increasing your own healing potential. 

You can also use spirals to get to the core of issues or to manifest things outward. Spirals are found in nature, making it easier to meditate with this symbol. Of course spirals also feature in sacred geometry. So there are many ways in which you can connect to spirals and have them help you.

Some ideas to use a spiral

Here are some ideas on how to use a spiral:

1. Meditate with a spiral object like a seashell, a snail etc.
2. Walk a spiral inwards with a reflection question
3. Walk a spiral outwards with a manifestation focus 
4. Trace or draw spirals
5. Use a piece of rope, string or a necklace to make a spiral

Exercise: Healing Spiral

• Take around 10-15 minutes for this exercise
• Choose a healing theme (for example: physical health, assertiveness, acceptance)
  
• Gently close your eyes
• Breathe in and out until you feel comfortable
• Visualize a spiral staircase standing right before you
• Your staircase is filled with light and healing
  
• Set your foot upon the first step - breathe in and out - and access the healing available
• Gently ascend upwards to the next level
• Ask for the lesson or gift at this stage of healing 
  
• Breathe in and out - and access the healing available
• Repeat until you feel you are at the highest level of healing for yourself
• Extend gratitude towards yourself
  
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding

Pick and choose what works for you and affirm away (I recommend three times a day if you can manage it).

Dear People,

I recently spoke about the technique of Psychometry in my Dutch Spiritual Column and I've made a Creating Joy Video about it as well. This technique is defined in the dictionary as "divination of facts concerning an object or its owner through contact with or proximity to the object". For many people it's just considered token-reading. So let's discuss this technique for a bit today and try it out for yourself with a small exercise.

What is Psychometry?

The idea behind Psychometry is that energy from the owner will find it's way into objects. The ring you wear, your clothing, etc. etc. they all soak up your energies daily. Large items like your home, your car etc. will  also soak up your energies. So basically everything you surround yourself with is included in this energy exchange. People who are sensitive can read that energy and know things about you and your future. 

Some Psychics that work with Psychometry will ask you to have a token in your home for a few days and then bring it with you to the appointment. Flowers are very popular for that, but another popular way to do psychometry is with photos. 

Why use Psychometry?

If you are already sensitive to energy it makes a lot of sense to try to see if psychometry gives you good results. You can start by honing the skill on your own items, but doing that makes is hard to distinguish between what you already know about yourself and what you are actually sensing. 

Hopefully, you do have items in your home that belong to others. Maybe you have some second hand items, heirlooms or things you borrowed. It's of course easier to use psychometry on items from people you know as it's easier to confirm what you are receiving. I do highly recommend asking for permission if you choose to read an item belong to another living person. Everybody deserves privacy and you never know what information might come true. I know some people are confident that higher power/God/The Universe won't share what you aren't meant to know, but personally, I don't subscribe to that. 

Psychometry Exercise

• Take around 10-15 minutes for this exercise
• Select an item that you want to read 
• Gently close your eyes
• Breathe in and out until you feel comfortable and at peace
• Visualize opening your third eye and affirm that you are willing to listen to your intuition
• Touch the object that you want to read
• Register all the sounds, smells, thoughts, images etc. that come to you 
• Let go of the object
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding 
• If needed, do some cleansing, like washing your hands
  
• Write down your impressions and check them with the owner of the object

Repeat this exercise regularly to see if this spiritual technique comes easily to you or and if you want continue working with psychometry. For some, the impressions can be too much, and than grounding and cleansing becomes very important, for others the difference between what you are imagining and what you are really intuitively receiving can be hard to distinguish and others don't receive any impressions at all.

Don't be discouraged if this isn't the technique for you, there are many spiritual techniques to help us work with our intuition and be in tune with our soul path.
