Energy, vibration, and frequency are gaining added focus as new information about quantum fields come to light, and as new technologies are developed.   Many who are spiritually hungry from all backgrounds and belief systems seek deeper understanding of these topics as they seek to deepen their spiritual growth and experience God in fullness.   For those who are new to this realm, the massive quantity of information out there can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.  When broken down into various parts, the entirety of the picture can be understood more easily, and the inseparable interchange between science and spirituality can be more clearly grasped.

The first best-place to go to understand the spiritual nature of vibration and quantum stuff is found in the Bible in Hebrews 1:3a.  In the NIV it states “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.”   There are a couple words that should jump out in this verse:  radiance, sustaining, powerful, and word.

Radiance involves emanation of light.  Sustenance is to continually maintain or keep someone or something alive or ongoing.  Powerful means filled with virtue or energy or capacity (lit. power-filled).  A ‘word’ is either written or is a vocalization, and in this case it seems to refer to spoken words.  Thus a ‘word’ here is in fact a release of frequencies of sound that are sent forth from the sender.

If this were all put together and the meanings fed back into the verse, it says something a bit more profound and instructive than at first glance.  “The Son, Jesus, is the emanating outward of light of God’s glory, and perfectly represents him.  He continually maintains and keeps alive all things by the ability that is filled with virtue and overflowing with energy which is released through a series of vibrations at varying frequencies that he sends forth from himself always.”

Said a little more simply, Jesus’s continual release of energy holds the fabric of the universe together and keeps all things alive and in existence.  The corollary being that if for even one moment Jesus stopped releasing the energy that sustains the universe, all things would cease to exist.  That doesn’t mean everyone would simply die, but the matter would not actually BE anymore.  It would be NOT.  It would be as it was in the Beginning when God was all that there was, because nothing had been spoken into being yet.

It is no strange thing then that when God created the heavens and the earth that He did it by speaking.  Those who wrote the Bible maybe only saw a portion of what that entailed, but science gives us some interesting insight into this.  First, understand that fields of science have discovered that everything that exists vibrates unceasingly, from the largest building to the smallest sub-atomic particle.  While one might feel like they are sitting still at times, all of the particles of the body are constantly in vibratory motion all of the time.  Absolute Zero is a theoretical temperature that is so cold that matter would cease to vibrate.  It is thought that if one were to get an object at that temperature, the minute subatomic fabric of its makeup would literally fall apart such that it would no longer exist.  It is still a theory because no one has yet reached it, but it is likely an impossibility, knowing what Hebrews 1:3 says — that Jesus is constantly releasing energy into all things to keep them from ceasing to vibrate.   This instantly negates the ‘clockmaker’ theory of creation, in that God didn’t just make humanity and the world just to leave it all alone, but is moment by moment sustaining the existence of each and every single person whether they are aware of it or not.

So what does all this mean for one’s daily life?  That depends on how deep one wants to go.  To start off simply, look at the eyes and the ears – physical organs responsible for sight and hearing/sound.  They both sense information on different wavelengths of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.  On this spectrum are included visible light, infrared light, microwaves, Ultraviolet light, x-rays, microwaves, and radio waves.  There are likely far more wavelengths than the types listed here – ones that are yet to be measured with scientific instruments, but these are the common types of frequencies of the earth.

The visible and audible spectra are not actually somehow different things, but simply different wavelengths of energy.  Eyes function because they take in certain wavelengths of light and translate them into meaningful images.  Ears work because they take in certain wavelengths of sound and translate them into meaningful noises.  Vocal chords work because they vibrate at particular wavelengths and produce certain levels of sound based on how long or short the chords are at the time of vibration.  All of these are examples of the body’s response to different frequencies, but all are just parts on a continuum of energy vibrations.

Medical science has found various uses for these different frequencies as well.  Because living tissues vibrate at a different wavelength from nonliving things, medical procedures can be safely performed using various frequencies.  For example, using certain wavelengths kidney stones can be broken up into smaller pieces that the body can safely expel, a process called lithotripsy, without harming the surrounding tissues.  A machine called an ultrasound uses sonic wavelengths to visualize organs through other tissue – most commonly uses to look at babies in the womb and to look at the flow of blood vessels without actually having to cut the body open to visualize them directly.  MRIs, X-rays, and CAT scans are other machines that use different wavelengths of energy as well, and they can help diagnose problems such as tumors, brain bleeding, broken bones, lung diseases, and any number of other issues within the body.

Common western medical sciences are not the ONLY ones who have found use for frequencies.  Flower and Gemstone Essences and therapeutic essential oils use the frequencies of various plants and plant products to encourage the body toward greater health, supporting and even providing the body with healing frequencies that can be used to balance harmful frequencies, or in some cases remove and resolve them entirely.  There are also devices that are used all around the world (but often not accepted in the U.S. due to the medical mafia) that use frequencies for healing, and these do not require the invasive procedures such as surgical cutting and burning of tissues that often accompanies Western medical ‘cures’.

Another type of frequency-based technology that assists with the body and health/healing largely fall under the umbrella of EMF-shields.  EMF stands for Electromagnetic Frequency, and these frequencies are very harmful to living tissues.  Computers, cell phones, and even refrigerators emit EMFs, and this has caused a significant decline in the overall health of the developed world.  It is almost impossible to evade an increasing number of high-quantity EMFs as more cell towers and wireless internet signals are erected around the globe, in workplaces, and even in homes.  Over time, these EMFs wear down the body’s internal energy fields and make the individual weaker and more vulnerable to every kind of stressor – both physical and emotional.    There are many products out there that also help augment the body’s energy field and help it protect itself from harmful frequencies from all of the electromagnetic items in our world.  While there are many out there, however, not all provide the same benefits, and not all have the same level of R&D behind them.

One of the reasons that this is even a physical need for humans is that the body has a similar electromagnetic field to that of the earth.  And if some thought is given, this makes a lot of sense – the body is constructed from the earth itself.  Even the Bible has said it — “You are dust, and to dust you shall return.”   The human body is made of literal organic elements which can be found in abundance throughout the earth.  However, much manmade technology such as cell phones, radio towers, wireless internet, computers, cars, battery-powered watches, and more create this electromagnetic pollution that degrades the personal energy field and creates openings for sickness and disease.

In the past, the concept of ‘vibration’ has been dominated primarily by non-Christian religious groups and has largely been ignored by all but those on the fringe of the science world, but as time marches forward, all of those barriers are breaking down.  As this happens, new inventions are being made, and even new music is being produced.  For instance, there is a CD that is now on the market titled “Abundant Human Elements” which is a CD of music that has been made with resonant frequencies of the 13 most common atoms in the physical body.  As one listens to the music and is in its proximity, the body is able to more closely match those frequencies in every place where the body’s atomic signal has wavered.  What this means is that this music actually helps heal on the atomic level from damage caused by electromagnetic pollution and even negative emotions, and all one has to do is listen to it to get the benefit!

A man named Len Horowitz did a lot of research into the frequency of 528 hz and has declared it to be the frequency of ‘love’, and a frequency that causes literal DNA repair.  Another notable frequency is that of 432 hz.  Research on either will uncover new and interesting details about music that has largely gone un-taught at least in the Western world, and many people are now changing the frequency of the music they listen to in order to match their music to one of the above two wavelengths for greater health and overall better life.  For those who are interested in learning more, google search Len Horowitz, 528 hz, Solfeggio, and 432 hz, or go to the Friends of Eden links on the right side column and visit ‘Sound that Heals’.

In the same way that these frequencies have physical value for our daily life, they can also have spiritual value as well.  Take one’s thoughts, for instance.  Thoughts are actually scientifically proven to emit wavelengths of energy.  If someone were to know how to READ those wavelengths, they would be literally reading one’s thoughts.  In heaven, where all thoughts are laid bare and nothing is hidden from one another, mind-reading is a normalcy.  Angels and demons communicate in this way as well.  In the blog post “They’re Not Your Thoughts” one can read about experiences where people have had negative thoughts and at some point in time realized that it wasn’t just them doing that thinking, but rather that demons that were putting thoughts in their minds.  More than just ‘thought insertion’, these spirits literally release negative wavelengths of thought and the human spirit picks up on those vibrations, turning them into real thoughts in the mind.  People then blame themselves for this darkness and negativity and even depressing thinking though they are their own thoughts, when in reality they aren’t coming from them in the first place.

Negative thoughts are not the only thought-frequencies at work.  Positive thoughts and feelings vibrate at a different set of frequencies than negative thoughts and feelings, and at a higher level.  Science has proven that the higher vibrations of positive thoughts have marked health benefits, while lower vibration from negative thoughts and even emotions can cause harm to the body.  It is not for no reason that Philippians 4:8-9 states “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”  It is this very fact, that lifegiving thoughts have even earthly health value, which promotes peace in one’s life and environment.  Studies from people such as Masaru Emoto and his ‘Messages in Water’ series prove that our thoughts and beliefs don’t just affect our own selves, but our surrounding environment.  If positive thoughts and feelings bring life to the body then they will also bring life to those around one as well.  There is an author named Gregg Braden who speaks of this in his book titled The Spontaneous Healing of Belief.

While thought life is very important, and continuous thoughts over time start to develop pathways in the brain that promote those kinds of thoughts, there is more value spiritually than just addressing ones thoughts.  Many people actually discern spiritual activity via frequencies.  There are some people, myself included, who even get a ringing sound in their ears at times when there is some sort of spiritual activity taking place.  There is a sensation of a change in atmospheric pressure somehow just outside the ear canal, then an audible high pitched ringing sound is heard.  The pitch and volume vary from occurrence to occurrence, and it can happen in either ear or both.  There is still very little that is understood about this phenomenon,  such as what the differences in volume and pitch mean, but this is conclusively not the same as the medical condition tinnitus.

So what does one DO with all this energy and vibrations information now that it has been gained? Many are trying to sort out just that very thing.  It is proven that certain frequencies perfectly match the brain waves that we put out at different stages of consciousness – alpha, beta, theta, and delta waves.  People have made machines and even music that utilize these frequencies (or lower, corresponding resonant frequencies in the audible range) to help train the mind to go into specific states more easily, and this can be used to some effect in meditation for both health and spiritual uses.  As understanding expands, this also tends to lead people into other energy-related fields and the issue of the ‘energy field’ comes up.

Many different groups have many different terms for this energy field —  aura, energy field, biofield, Luminous Energy Field, magnetic field, and more, but  whether one calls it an aura or a biofield doesn’t in any way alter the nature of what it is and what it does – function as an integral part of ones being.  The physical body, as mentioned earlier, also is influenced by its electromagnetic field (part of the overall energy field) and that of other things around it.  In fact, everything that exists has its own energy field due to everything vibrating at its own frequencies.  Interacting with other energy fields – both of objects and other living things, alters ones life in often-subtle ways.  Even being in physical proximity to another person causes the natural overlapping of energy fields, and the quantum transfer of data from one field to another.  The positive and negative thoughts and emotions discussed above are also transferred at this time, and in such a way it is possible to influence someone without ever saying a single word to them.  Given that this is an influencing factor in daily life, whether aware or unaware, it is no surprise that cultivation and care of that energy field has become an increasing focus in the Western world.

Some Eastern cultures, such as the Indians and Chinese, have developed physical practices that help the body function better and work with this energy field.  The Indians have developed a method of medicine called Ayurveda.  This method focuses on working with the body as a whole to put it in a sort of energy-balance and to correct imbalances.  Chinese medicine does the same, but uses a different set of theory.  There are also myriads of meditation practices such as Qigong, Tai Chi, Yoga, and others that help promote energy-field health.  Whether looking at Indian or Chinese practices, however, both agree on one key point:  that the body has centers and areas of energy within the body that influence its function.  Ayurveda refers to these energy centers as Chakra and Chinese medicine refers to them as Meridians, also understood as lines of energy coursing through the body.  They are a lot like blood vessels, lymph, or the nervous system, but with energy instead of physical tissue.  Acupuncture, shiatsu, and reflexology all operate using these lines of energy and help the body process out and resolve frequencies that promote disease and in their place promote health and vitality.

There are other ways we can make use of these healing energies as well.  Some people wear certain crystals or gemstones for health.  The reason this works is that the stones each give off a certain set of frequencies on an ongoing basis, and those frequencies are purportedly healthy for whatever condition that person is addressing.  Many precious or semi-precious stones carry frequencies that have an emotional-healing component as well.  In various “New Age” circles and among those who practice witchcraft, certain stones may be used in rituals and spells due to the way that they help carry or alter frequencies and store power and energy for spell work, but that is obviously not a practice I recommend.  Nevertheless, the reason people use stones for these practices is precisely because they have influence on the natural realm through the various frequencies they carry.  This issue of whether stones can be used for healing isn’t a matter of right or wrong from a religious perspective, but is a simple fact in that all creation vibrates, and God has put healing frequencies in many of the plants, stones, and other objects in this world, all of which are for our benefit.  The Kings of Eden has collaborated with Freedom Flowers to develop a line of Divine Gem Essences to help capture the healing frequencies in certain gemstones and release them to the world.

Whether looking at Western or Eastern medicine practices, spiritual or meditative practices, physical technologies such as Q-links or other EMF shield devices, vibrational medicines such as homeopathy or flower essences and gem essences, essential oils, or even listening to health-promoting frequency music, there is room for all to benefit.  This topic is not disappearing anytime soon, and greater knowledge and understanding continue to present themselves as new insights and inventions advance knowledge and subsequently human functionality in this realm.  For more information on this subject and for related technology, follow the links and information below.

To the Tune of 432(hz)

This week The Kings of Eden features a guest blogger, Del Hungerford.

People ask me how I became interested in changing the tuning of my instruments to A=432. The other questions that tend to come my way involve what I think about the ancient solfeggio frequencies and how frequencies can be used in healing music. I’ll try weaving an acceptable short answer for your reading pleasure. With that, my name is Del, and I’m here to take you on a journey of musical frequencies! Enjoy!

I first became interested in how music affects the body while doing some research for a survey of music course that I teach. I ran across an ABC news interview with percussionist Evelyn Glennie. She’s profoundly deaf and “hears” pitches through her body. By performing barefoot, she can feel the vibrations through the floor. As she performs, her body vibrates differently for each musical pitch. It’s the same for all of us but because we hear notes, we don’t necessarily pay attention to how our bodies resonate with every musical pitch.

Being that I’m also into natural healing techniques, I’m aware that our bodies have resonant frequencies. Those pesky little diseases that love to latch onto us also have frequencies. Basically, everything has a resonant frequency; some good, and some bad. Determining what’s most helpful appears to be an ongoing debate. Taking a look at similarities throughout history, in math, in measurements, in our calendar, and within the earth and the cosmos, I decided there was enough evidence to determine that tuning to A=432 may actually bring our bodies to a place where they’re not having to compete with the many dissonant frequencies surrounding us.

I have several articles and blog posts on my site, Healing Frequencies Music, where I delve into the wonderful world of musical frequencies. For more specific information, I encourage you to check those out. In addition, those who sign up for my newsletter get small blurbs about “all things frequency” with some fun experiments to try!

I went to a conference in 2014 where I heard David Van Koevering speak about quantum physics in relation to music and Kingdom stuff. In his presentations, he continuously mentioned the importance of intent, which is another word for “purpose.” Our purpose behind doing something is very important and through quantum physics, David showed us way down at the molecular level, intent is very obvious and “goes into” what we do.

What does this have to do with music? When a musician sits down to record or perform, there’s intent behind it. That intent goes into the music (both instrumental and vocal) and then is “heard” by the body. Thoughts even have frequency and that’s all recorded in music. So, the short answer for those who desire to listen to music recorded with the ancient solfeggio frequencies… pay attention to the intent of the musician recording the music. You’ll then have a better idea if that music is helpful for you.

What may work for one, may not work for another. I chose to record my music at A=432 instead of the solfeggio frequencies because I felt that matching natural frequencies within the earth was important for use in general healing music. How did I come to this conclusion? Again, too many similarities between math and music, general measurements, the cosmos, our calendar, and actual frequencies in the earth appear to point towards a natural concert pitch of A=432.

As an example of how our bodies seem to like the A=432 concert pitch, it became apparent that our singing voices tend to gravitate towards notes within that concert pitch. I have an article on my website devoted to a little experiment I did with YouTube videos. In all the videos, people tend to naturally sing at or very close to notes within the A=432 concert pitch when not given a starting pitch on a keyboard or pitch pipe. That sealed the deal for me in choosing A=432 when I recorded the “Prophetic Musical Journey.” (Link to that article: http://www.healingfrequenciesmusic.com/frequency-research/singing-at-a432/)

My goal as a musician who loves God with every fiber of my being, is to be able to present music that flows prophetically through me and into the listener. My intent is that of my Father whom I believe speaks His heart through my fingers. I often have no clue what I’m doing when I record music because I play as the Holy Spirit directs. My “Prophetic Musical Journey” (http://www.healingfrequenciesmusic.com/music-store/) was completely recorded simply by tuning into what Papa was saying through specific musical frequencies. In a way, I believe that when this music is played, it’s releasing the revelation of who God is into the atmosphere. For every individual who listens, that revelation will be different. It may bring healing emotionally, physically, or even spiritually depending on what the listener needs at that moment. Then, the next time you listen, you may get something different. It will also be the same for other types of healing music.

In closing, I do believe it’s important to pay attention to what we “put into” our bodies. That includes what we listen to, what we read, our conversations, what we watch on TV, etc. If the solfeggio frequencies work for you, then be sure the performer’s intent matches your desire. You may also find that you’ll really not like a tune and then all of a sudden, you do. That’s because your body needs the vibrational frequency of that music at that moment. So, pay attention to how your body resonates with the music you listen to.

My musical story in a flash:  I was trained as a classical clarinetist in a conservatory and played professionally in a variety of venues for several years while teaching in the public schools and then eventually, at the collegiate level once I completed my doctorate. In addition, I played keyboard on at least 17 praise teams. I have been told by the “church” that those who are classically trained struggle hearing from God musically because we’re too glued to the music. Thus began my adventure in learning how to flow in the Spirit.  My Prophetic Musical Journey (five CD’s) is a result of what my Father in Heaven has taught me. I hope that you will enjoy taking this prophetic musical journey with me! CD’s can only be purchased from www.healingfrequenciesmusic.com and downloads are available on the site as well as through iTunes.

The Progression of Healing

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

In my journey to discover healing by the power of God, I have gone through a progression. First I wasn’t sure how often God wanted to heal, and I was one of those “If it be your will” Christians. I loved God, but I wasn’t really sure how much He wanted us to be healed. This is largely due to a very poor understanding of God’s nature and will to heal.

As I learned and grew in God’s love, I discovered that healing is simply a manifestation of that love. I also gained a deeper understanding of what Jesus accomplished on the cross, I realized that it is ALWAYS God’s will to heal in every situation. In fact, not-healing is not even an option God has allowed Himself, as Jesus has already purchased one time for all humanity for all eternity every healing need that would ever come upon us. God can’t say “no” to something he already said “yes” to 2000 years ago. I also began to grow in faith for healing and started stepping out and praying for the sick in public and at church.

I operated at this level for around five years, believing that God wanted to heal and expecting God to do something, but rarely met with results. Eventually I came to a new level of understanding, and began to have people test out their healing at the time I prayed for them. As I did this I started to see more people receive instantaneous healing, where before I only went away hoping that people would eventually get healed. I also became more persistent, praying again if there were no results the first time, and even again after that. What I observed happening was that my PERSISTENCE in prayer in those few minutes with that person began to bear fruit. I gained greater revelation on how the enemy hinders healing and actively prevents the healing God releases from manifesting in peoples’ bodies in those moments of prayer.

As I continued to grow, God began to push me into another level of healing, namely resurrection from the dead. While to date I have yet to resurrect anyone, I began to gain more understanding of God’s desire for life that is SO strong that He even resurrects the dead. As I grew in this revelation of resurrection, I realized something: God is so interested in resurrecting the dead that the Bible says He will resurrect the dead and give them brand new bodies!! When I realized this it made me do a mental double-take. If God is going to resurrect all the dead, why do we have to die?

This took me on a journey over the past few years that showed me that God is far more interested in keeping us alive than He is in waiting until we die and then resurrecting us. After all, death is a work of the enemy, not God. Adam and Eve were immortal until that fateful day that “when you eat of it you will surely die.” They did not die at that moment, and they and their descendants even lived into the nine-hundreds, but they all eventually died. We, nowadays, live under a better covenant yet live only a fraction of the length of time they did. In our minds, someone reaching one-hundred is a big deal. In their day it was like someone reaching adulthood, with their mid-life crisis another four hundred years away.

Now, Jesus has reversed all of the laws and curses against us that cause us to grow sick and die. He has given us the authority and power to resurrect the dead and heal every sickness and disease. The Church is rapidly reaching a greater place of health in regards to healing, but the logical end to all healing is life, not death, and we are very unhealthy as the Body in regards to resurrection and abundant life. When more healing takes place in a body than decay, someone becomes healthy. When death in a body wins over life, sickness and disease and ultimately death manifest. In essence, long life is simply a process by which there is more healing taking place in our bodies over a span of time than decay, and God’s life-giving power is more active than the death in this world. After all, greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

I look forward to a day when we step beyond healing, beyond resurrection, and simply step into our birthright, where we can live and not die and enjoy not only the creation, but enjoy stewarding the life of Christ into that creation, releasing it from that same bondage to decay that we have been released from. The Church is slowly waking up. It begins with healing, then resurrection, but when enough people have been healed and resurrected, we will eventually understand what God’s will is: that we can live and not die.

Build Bridges, Not Walls

Building a Bridge

Yesterday, I was at a very difficult Senate Committee Hearing in Salem, Oregon and gave testimony at the hearing. There are some well-meaning Senators who have proposed a Healthcare-related bill that directly infringes on some of our medical and human rights. As an RN, a U.S. citizen and Oregon resident, as well as someone who understands the impact of this bill, I felt it was my duty to be there.  Honestly, it really was a difficult time for me personally, as I have very strong beliefs about this bill, and some of the interactions I witnessed were very upsetting and disappointing.

I had the opportunity to speak with the main sponsor of the bill at the end, a woman who I vehemently disagree with and will only probably ever agree with if she changes her mind. It was apparent throughout the hearing that this woman was VERY upset, hurt, and angry, and in many ways during the hearing was responding accordingly. The Lord put it on my heart to apologize to her on behalf of those who support my side of this medical cause who have written her hate mail and have been extremely hateful to her. At first I liked the idea, then watching her conduct in the natural realm I tossed the idea, but then I decided that she did indeed need to hear what I had to say, and that she needed my apology.

When I apologized to her, what I witnessed was somewhat surprising to me. As I apologized to this woman on behalf of other people, tears literally began forming in her eyes. I told her that I believed her heart was in the right place regardless of whether we agreed or not, and I honored her in that moment. Before we parted company a minute later, she even verbally honored me for my service in the medical field and let me know that her husband does what I do as well, and that she understands my job is difficult. What I felt transpiring in the invisible realm around us was that God was building a bridge in that moment, and beginning to heal her heart and the division between our groups with opposing belief systems.

You see, it is easy to malign others who disagree or even outright oppose us. It can be easy to turn that person into a villain in our minds, and forget that he or she too has dreams, hopes, fears, and emotions. He or she also has a heart that can be wounded by our words.

At the end of the day, we need to remember what 2 Corinthians 5:19b says, “And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” That IS our message, our mission. It doesn’t matter whether I agree with that senator or not. It changes nothing about what God has empowered all of us here on earth to do. In any and every situation, we are the ones who open up hearts, who build bridges instead of walls, and who reconcile.

I do not know the long-term impact of that conversation we had on that woman’s life, but I do know this: If we ever meet again, she will be favorably disposed to me personally. Whatever message it is that I carry the next time around, she will be open to hearing me even if she won’t listen to a single other person because I have built a bridge. I also strongly believe that my words began to bring healing into a heart that is filled with pain and probably has been hurt many times by many other people long before this particular Senate bill. It is impossible to go wrong when we release love on other people. After all, love never fails.

Jesus was very clear in the book of Matthew that if we have anything against our brother that WE are to go and leave our offering before God and go make things right with our brother. It is not time to wait until someone else gets a heart change and their change isn’t actually necessary to begin to reconcile. What DOES need to happen is WE need to ask God to give us a glimpse of His heart for them. When we get a revelation, even for a few moments, of God’s heart for another person, it is extremely difficult to not let that revelation influence the way we view them. It is for this reason, I believe, that Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:16, “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.” When we view another from God’s view it changes us, and the love that will overflow out of us will change them.

 

Ask the Lord today who He would have you build a bridge with. Who do you need to reconcile with? If you ask Him to show you His heart for them, He will most certainly be faithful to do it.

On Spirit, Soul, Body, and Light

I was having a conversation with Holy Spirit recently where he pointed out that I never need to try to be more holy, as I AM holy and therefore everything I do is holy, There is no divide between secular and sacred. It doesn’t exist. In the Beginning of Time God called all things good.

I then thought about the fact that while I may not be more or less holy, that there are certainly things I can do that influence God’s activity in my life. Holy Spirit explained it like this: “You cannot become more holy than you already are now, but you can position yourself to carry and release a greater measure of God’s glory into the Earth based on your choices. And not even just your actions, so much, but by your thoughts and beliefs. The truth is that your actions are dictated by your thoughts, so it is really your thought life which decides the measure of glory that you carry.”

I then thought about auras and the fact that it is possible to see energy fields around people and even plants and objects. I was pondering how an increased measure of glory must cause one’s energy field to expand, and that part of our goal ought to be to expand our energy field as a result of heaven’s influence. For I believe it was similar to this that people tell stories of men of God who would go somewhere and even from miles away someone would be overcome by God’s power, inasmuch as the people were influenced by that man’s godly aura.

Holy Spirit didn’t deny that it was true, but explained and clarified it for me. “You have more than one aura. You do have a soul aura which is where people can pass information from one to another by their energy fields, and where unconscious information including emotional states are transferred when in proximity with one another. You also have a spirit aura. This is the light of God which comes from Heaven and is reflected from you and emanates out of your spirit. This light is not directly transferred to your soul aura, so the energy fields are not one and the same. However, anyone who has a strong and vibrant spirit aura will invariably have some measure of trickle-down effect that influences their soul aura, making their soul aura more vibrant and life giving as well.”

I considered the problem that we often do not have the measure of glory flowing through our lives that we could have, and I inquired as to why that was. Holy Spirit said “There are gates, you might imagine that it is akin to the sphincters in the digestive system, between access from the spirit to the soul and again the soul to the body. How open or closed those gates are direct how much of Heaven’s light is passing through you at any time. This is dictated in part by your thoughts as well, as your soul is the transfer point between your spirit and body. Basically, the state of the first gate decides how much of Heaven’s light reaches to your soul, and the state of the second gate decides how much of Heaven’s light trickles down from your soul to bring Heaven’s light to your body. Healing and restoration in the body, and even transformation of your physical body, is a result of Heaven’s light moving through the soul and penetrating and transforming your physical form. This is how people can be breatharians and live on air and energy alone –because my life has not just transformed their soul, but the channel is open for me to invigorate their body as well.

The way to do this is in part by meditating on my word. What this does is it transforms your beliefs to reflect the truths of Heaven, and as this occurs, more light shines through.” I got the feeling He meant the actual Bible when he said this, but I don’t think it has to be limited to the Bible only, as Holy Spirit can easily give us a rhema-word to meditate on as well.

That was about where the conversation ended, but it put some things into an interesting perspective for me, and gave me not only some new things to think about and consider, but some helpful hints on moving toward living the “life more abundantly” that Jesus said he came to bring.

4 Alternate Sleep Cycles You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

Guest blogger:  Elijah Rider

www.Elijahrider.com

 

Humans spend, on average, one-third of their entire lives asleep. While the scientific community still hasn’t pinned down into detail why we sleep or how long we should sleep, it’s safe to say that we sleep to rest up, physically, emotionally and mentally. Just like our bodies need nutrition to keep going, our bodies also need sleep.

There are many theories around on how long we should sleep. The most common one, is about 7-8 hours, which varies depending on your age. This is called the monophasic cycle. Awake by day, sleep by night, repeat forever.

Not being a lover of sleep myself, a couple of months ago I started the search for alternative sleep cycles. Specifically those that brought out the most of my sleep, but where I wouldn’t lose any quality and quantity of wakefulness. I’ve already mentioned the Monophasic Cycle above, but I promised you 4 alternate cycles! The following 4 are all polyphasic cycles:

The Biphasic Cycle is by far the most popular of the polyphasic cycles that we have heard of. Think siesta or an afternoon nap. This cycle consists of a 5-6 hours of sleep at night and 20-, 60- or 90-minute nap by day. If you’re worried about health issues, the scientific community has enough data to state that the byphasic cycle is actually better for your health when being compared with the monophasic -regular- cycle. It also leads to better moods, a significant decrease in stress, and an increase in overall alertness and productivity (maybe notify your boss about this?).

The Everyman Cycle consists of 3.5 hours of core sleep and three 20-minute naps spread out over the day. This cycle was designed to counteract our human drops in our alertness. The common sleep schedule with this cycle is sleeping from 9pm-12:30am and going to nap at 4:10am, 8:10am and 2:40pm.

The Dymaxion Cycle is the least successful one, because it generally can only be successfully applied by a certain group of people. People with the DEC2 gene, also known as ‘short sleepers,’ require about 4 hours of sleep in a monophasic cycle, which makes this cycle possible for them. For us regular folk, there isn’t enough time spent in REM to adapt to this cycle. This does not make it impossible, but it would be tough. This cycle consists of four 30-minute naps throughout the entire day. Some have mixed it up with a 1.5 hours of sleep, two 30-minute naps and one 20-minute nap, still only totalling only 2 hours and 50 minutes of sleep.

Last, but definitely not least, we have the Uberman Cycle. This cycle uses 20-minute naps and totals at about 2 hours of sleep through the entire day. Unlike the dymaxion cycle where you typically take a 30-minute nap every 6 hours, in this cycle 20-minute naps are taken every 3 hours. Some have added two naps, believing that these extra 40 minutes are of importance. Here, keeping to your nap schedule is very important. Users have reported that when naps were missed, it resulted in feeling very drained and tired.

On another, cool, note, users of the uberman cycle have also reported that they experience very vivid lucid dreams.

As of right now, I have only experienced with the byphasic cycle and can testify that this one really is beneficial overall. I get a necessary amount of sleep at night (remember: I’m not a lover of sleep) and I get more done by day. When I plan a byphasic day, I usually start writing right after I wake up from the nap and I can definitely feel a difference when I’m writing without having taken a nap that day. It improves the quantity of things I get done, but most importantly it vastly improves the quality of the things I do. This is specifically referring to ‘my own stuff’ like writing or reading, but it also enhances my relationships as I listen and interact better and I am more aware of what’s going on around me.

As for the other cycles, I think I might give the other ones a try some day, just to have it tried out but would only consider the Everyman Cycle as one that I might actually live by.

Beginning The Journey of Sound

3D-Colorful-Music-Notes-520x325

 

In fall 2011 I attended a workshop hosted at some friends’ house related to sound, vibration, and quantum physics. I didn’t know it at the time but the woman teaching the workshop, Carla Reed, was not just speaking on the subject, but is an instructor in Soma Energetics’ Sound Therapy methods. Carla has a good many years of experience in this field, both as an ordained minister who has had many God-encounters that have led her towards this path, and as a certified Sound Therapist and Instructor.

At the time we met, I had already had a measure of experience in the realm of Quantum Spirituality, God having taken me on my own training journey over the past decade or so. Quantum science has shed unique light on ancient spiritual principles, and this integration of science with one’s spiritual journey is releasing even more revelation and spiritual wisdom into the earth.

Carla discussed the material over a few sessions and returned that next spring to teach the Level 1 Practitioner course, which teaches people to use tuning forks in a dualistic role as both a sound therapy and an energy therapy. I was not a part of this class, but my friend the hostess of the first workshop was and we have discussed the therapy as she has learned and grown, and I have been her guinea pig on more than one occasion. I also purchased a personal tuning kit and have used it sparingly on myself and family. Carla returned in 2013 and taught the Level 2 Practitioner course, and earlier this year she and my friend went to Spokane for the final level of training, including Brain Tuning and DNA and RNA tuning.

After having watched this process as a bystander over the past few years, I have been excited about the tuning and the results and have had noticeable results myself from tuning sessions. Since launching The Kings of Eden LLC, I made the jump and purchased the instruction material and Energy-tuner set of forks for the Practitioner Level 1 Sound Therapy.  Subsequently, I plan to post from time to time on my own learning process and the results I have obtained from tuning others. Having done energy-work for years, I feel confident that I will pick it up rapidly, but I look forward to both the results obtained via tuning others (as no energy therapy truly leaves the practitioner unchanged during the session) and the results on friends and family as they too become more ‘in tune’ with their own life journey!  I expect the journey to be both exciting and transforming.

Stay Tuned!

Juicing: That Thing People Do

Fruits-and-Vegetables

There are a great many ideas out there about juicing – what it does and doesn’t do, who should and shouldn’t do it, what juicer to use.  There are even people who focus on ‘food combining’, which deals with what foods do and do not mix well together from an enzymatic and digestive perspective.  While I will not attempt to tackle the topic of food combining at this time, the other items listed above are sort of need-to-know information for anyone who is interested in juicing, or even for someone who has heard about it but isn’t sure they’re ready to try it yet.

The basic premise of juicing is this – there is a limit to the amount of food you can chew and eat.  Juicing breaks down the outer cell wall of the plant and releases the inner ‘guts’ of the cell – the juice.  It is here that most of the nutrients are to be found, and juicing allows you to consume these nutrients without having to eat the rest of the fruit or vegetable.  The benefit of this is that you can increase your intake of vitamins, but not necessarily have to increase the amount of food you eat.

We all know that vitamins are ‘good for you’, but the reality is that we don’t usually have a great grasp on the relationship between our food and the nutrients it provides.  In addition, every ‘new’ health study that someone publishes tells us something completely different.  One week coffee is highly addictive (which it actually is) and is being touted as the worst food item for you and the next it’s the best cancer-killing agent out there.  Another week broccoli becomes the item of choice – high in calcium and other phytonutrients.   A few months later someone else will invariably publish a study saying that it has high levels of toxic mycoproteins that flangellate the insubriate pentarid of the upper gentarium ellipsoid.  And since no one knows what the gentarium ellipsoid is, but the article makes it sound like having it flangellated is a really bad thing, everyone starts avoiding broccoli.  But when it comes down do it, there seems to be very little new information about nutrition out there that would truly shock anyone who knows many of the basics.

Vitamins as a whole are required for your body to live.  If you have a deficiency of any nutrient your body will attempt to compensate, but at some point in time you will get sick.  The only way to correct this is by obtaining adequate quantities of that nutrient.  I have talked to a good many people who are under the misconception that ‘eating a balanced diet’ is sufficient to obtain these nutrients at adequate doses.  Due, in part, to our horrid farming practices as a nation, and the way in which we strip the soil of nutrients instead of replenishing them, as well as the on-demand sale of goods which causes us to pick fruit weeks and weeks early and pretend they are ripe, we eat low-nutrient foods.  The density of vitamins and minerals increases as a fruit or vegetable ripens, and short-changing that natural ripening process cheapens the VALUE of the food even if it doesn’t alter the price.

One way to fix this is to take multivitamins, and depending on which one you take, this is a good idea.  However, some of these vitamins were created artificially in a lab and the body is not able to utilize them in the same as if they were straight from nature.   Other ingredients, such as certain kinds of calcium and iron, are not compounds the body has enzymes to digest, even if the label states that ‘calcium’ is in the product.  This means that you have to be choosy not just about your food, but about your multivitamins.  Juicing can help solve this problem.

Juicing does a few things all at once.  By breaking the cell walls down, as mentioned above, it makes the nutrients readily available.  Additionally, because the bulk of the cell walls are not there the body can consume a higher quantity of the juice (much of it is actually just water, which the body can process rapidly).  The more juice, the more vitamins.  Juicing ALSO causes enzymes to be released into the body in greater proportion.  Enzymes are used for most chemical processes in the body, and the number of enzymes limits the quantity and speed that other functions in the body can take place, including digestion.  Using the enzymes present in the juice, the body can actually digest and absorb other food even better than normal!  Not only that, but the body is able to process foods in liquid form much more easily than solids due to the configuration of the digestive system.  Thus, juicing leads to a higher rate of absorption even if the same quantity of nutrients were eaten by normal means.  Finally, juicing causes a natural detoxification in the body, removing harmful substances that you didn’t even know were there.

As for who should juice – there are very few people who would be harmed by juicing.  Those specialty cases are generally those who have severe hormone imbalances that are freak genetic events, caused by surgery or physically traumatic accidents, etc.  This specific and limited group of people may lack certain abilities that a normal human body may possess that would allow for cell repair, and in their cases, depending on the nature of the injury, juicing could significantly worsen their condition, especially if they have a propensity towards toxicity of any vitamins.  Diabetics are at risk with juicing, but those risks can be mitigated if done properly and depending on the type of diabetes.  Type 1 diabetics simply do not have the insulin-producing capacity of a normal pancreas, and truthfully ought to consult an endocrinologist prior to any significant juicing, as this could seriously alter their body chemistry.  Type 2 diabetics need to be careful, and also ought to consult a physician, but the risks are greatly reduced IF DONE PROPERLY.

What a Type 2 diabetic needs to know, which doctors will rarely ever tell you, is that Type 2 diabetes is actually curable.  Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance at the cellular level, NOT by a lack of sufficient hormones produced by the pancreas.  This is a dysfunction that is usually linked to obesity and other generalized overload of the body from toxic substances in our environment.  Juicing, when done right, will cause the body to lose weight as well as remove these toxins from the body.  As this occurs, the body will be able to heal itself, insulin resistance will reduce, and the body may simply cease to be diabetic any longer.  While juicing is not a guarantee of this, it is a high likelihood.  Type 2 diabetics must pay attention to the quantity of sugars they consume during their juicing process, and it is best if one juice-fasts instead of eating other foods as well, in order to both offset the blood sugar increases and to reduce calories faster (accelerating weight loss).  This can be done by choosing juices that are heavy on vegetables but low on starchy vegetables.  Fruits are not bad, contrary to popular belief, but it is important to closely monitor blood sugar during this process, and make adjustments to the juice ingredients as needed.

Supplements such as chromium (also chromium picolinate), cinnamon, and broken-cell-wall chlorella can help manage and reduce blood sugar, and can be used during a diabetic’s juicing process to help manage blood sugar levels.  As always, this advice is not in any way to take the place of that of a licensed physician, but can be used to help you know what questions to ask.  Keep in mind you may need to find a doctor that actually knows something about the subject, as this isn’t something that is really covered in medical school and like the rest of us, doctors are often guessing if they haven’t specifically learned about the subject.

Juicers themselves come in two main types, although there are a great number of companies out there.  The two main types are masticating and centrifugal.  Masticating juicers basically crush and slow-grind the ingredients in a manner that does not heat them up to the same temperature that centrifugal juicers do.  This means they maintain a higher level of enzymes comparatively, as few enzymes are destroyed by the juicing process.  This type of juicer is also nauseatingly slow and usually cannot juice large quantities.  If someone is planning on juicing a glass or two at a time, and maybe is retired, or really dedicated, or has a ton of free time, or is paying someone else to do it, then a masticating juicer is really a fantastic idea.  Even refrigerated, this juice will maintain its benefits longer than a centrifugal-juiced juice.  Centrifugal juicers basically spin really fast and shred the food into tiny bits, spinning out the juice from the pulp.  They work really fast and usually can juice large quantities of juice at one time.  Due to the speed, they do destroy more enzymes than the masticating, but still provide far more benefit than not juicing at all.  This juicer is great for those of us who want to be healthy but need to juice larger quantities of juice at one time and who don’t have an hour or more to give to the process every time they want a few glasses of juice.  It will require a bit more produce than masticating, as masticating juicers often have slightly drier pulp due to better extraction, but I personally have never noticed a significant difference on a day-by-day basis on the amount of produce used.

Juicing and drinking immediately (read that as ‘drinking within 15 minutes of juicing’) generally will provide the highest benefit, but juicing and drinking within the next day or so will still be healthful.  In my person opinion, after 2-3 days have passed you really need more fresh juice, but it is okay to juice a larger quantity and store some in the fridge.  My wife and I both work and we don’t have the time (or if we do we aren’t willing to make the time) to juice each glass individually each time we are going to drink juice, so I usually juice a half-gallon at a time and we drink it over the course of about a day.  As my wife is on a heavy juice-detox program right now, she is drinking the majority of that juice, and if both of us were drinking heavy quantities we might need closer to a gallon daily between us for our health goals.

We were discussing this the other night and decided to test it out to see what the difference in benefit was between fresh juice and day-old juice.  I made some fresh juice and we decided to muscle-test it versus the rest of the juice we had from the day before still sitting in the fridge.  Both juices tested positive for us, meaning that our bodies were stronger as a result of touching the juice, but the difference between the day-old and the fresh juice were noticeable!  If nothing else, it has made a believer out of me for the juice-and-drink philosophy!

In the end, not everyone will find juicing is right for them.  Some find it more expensive, although we have found that the more we juice, the less we spend in food costs.  We shop smart to make that happen, but the end result is we pay less.  Some will find they can’t or won’t make the time, and others still don’t have the ability due to lack of a juicer or inability to obtain one, or other social constraints which prevent them from juicing.  Still others won’t, not for any of the above reasons, but because they are afraid to step out and try something new.  If you have any interest in juicing whatsoever, or even just in better health, take that scary step.  Borrow a juicer, pick one up at a yard sale, buy one off Craigslist at a discount, but give it a try.  If you don’t like the recipes you’re using, try something different.  Give juicing a fair attempt – not because juicing is worth it, but because you’re worth it.

And if you have had any success with it, have hints or tips for the rest of us, or even have questions, please comment and share.  We’re all partial-experts, and when we share, we all grow.
