Chapter Five

TOOLS FOR CHANGE

“Once you begin new patterns of thought and behavior, change is inevitable.”

Overview

W e offer the following exercises to help you break patterns that no longer serve you. We provide these exercises in the middle of the book so that you may begin to integrate the changes we are suggesting as you read. Of course, you may choose to engage in these exercises or not, at any time, according to your own particular needs and interest. We do hope you enjoy them. Use them as your heart directs. We love you greatly.

Restoring Emotional Balance

If you are emotionally upset or experiencing physical distress, you can calm yourself through breathing in the foundational essences we described in the previous chapter. Slowly begin to breathe and concentrate your thoughts on each of these elements.

Breathe in love.

Breathe out trust.

Breathe in joy.

Breathe out compassion.

Do this repeatedly until you calm yourself and return to balance. Remember to include gratitude in this practice as well, finding things in your life for which you are grateful. Be grateful for your own gifts and talents, for the people and animals you love, for the beauty of Nature all around you, and for anything that makes you happy. Being grateful helps to adjust your energy. As you feel the gratitude, remember these things:

You are not alone. Help and support are always available. By calming yourself through this exercise, you are more easily able to listen to the help that is always here. By this, we mean that as you calm down and begin to rebalance yourself, your vibration is raised to meet the energies of those around you who wish to help (your guides, angels, spirit helpers, and interdimensional beings like us).

Using Colors to Balance Emotions

Emotions are both the biggest stumbling block for humanity, as well as humanity’s greatest promise for release from dysfunctional patterns of behavior. Emotions may be managed and utilized for change through proper understanding of their function. Here is an exercise to help you. Use your imagination to visualize these colors until you learn to actually see the colors or feel the energy of their presence.

Begin by imagining a column of emerald green light pouring into the crown of your head. Emerald green energy is a creative and healing energy that enhances your vitality and can also help rebalance your emotions. Visualize this energy moving down from your crown chakra all the way to your feet and then back up again. Now invite in energy of the color violet, which can be used for transformation. See it as a beautiful violet cloud of stardust over your head. Move your emotions towards the violet light. When you are feeling heartsick or heavy, you may use the combination of moving green energy through you, and then releasing your emotions to the cloud of beautiful violet light. Use this as a meditative practice whenever you are experiencing emotional discomfort or pain. It is a wonderful exercise that can help you immensely.

Here is another color exercise you may use for emotional equilibrium. Enjoy it! Begin to visualize pink light flowing into your heart; allow that energy to move from your heart throughout your entire body. Now visualize the pink energy spreading from you out into the world. Once you feel the pink energy completely filling and surrounding you, invite a flow of white light into your crown. Feel the stream of white light pouring into you. Now see the white light move down from your crown until it begins to radiate and swirl around your entire being. The white light will help you remove the illusions that you have carried throughout your life, and the pink light will restore your heart to its natural feeling state of love. You will feel lighter when you are finished.

Working with Pain

Pain is a form of imbalance or discomfort that signals that you are not in harmony with rhythms of life and universal energies. When you are in discomfort or experiencing pain, you are experiencing a state of dis-ease. Become quiet in order to allow your mind to reach the place where you can actually understand where the pain or discomfort originates or to what it is related. Only by quieting yourselves to the degree that you shut out as much outer sensation and stimuli as possible, will you reach this place of connecting with the original source of the dis-comfort and how it can teach you to resolve the issue. Quiet your mind. Relax your body. Listen to your breathing and your heartbeat. Listen deeply in the quiet. Joining the rhythms of your breath, the earth, and the universe will help you to find what is out of balance.

Focus on the point within you that is causing the most distress or that represents the most dis-ease. First accept the pain; you must always accept an energy as it is before you can work to change it. Visualize yourself compressing that energy into the smallest point you can imagine. Once the pain has been compressed into a small point, you will be ready to move it. Invite a golden stream of light, representing grace, into your physical body through your head, your heart, or your solar plexus. Once the golden light is flowing through you, move the compressed pain into the stream of that golden light. Imagine the golden light clearing and cleansing this point of pain.

Increasing Your Will Power

Much of the discord you experience in your lives comes because you have not focused your will to keep your thoughts flowing in a harmonious, positive direction. This exercise will assist you in stopping old patterns of discord and nurturing new patterns of positive response to life circumstances.

When you first notice that something does not feel joyful or harmonious (whether with another person or in a situation), notice what you are feeling. Usually you feel that something does not match your flow, and you do not like what is occurring. Notice first what you are feeling. Notice second the thoughts that you are thinking connected to what is occurring. Usually you think that someone has overridden or disregarded what is important to you, or you think that the weather is not what you want, or you think that what someone has done is inappropriate, or you think some other thought of discord about what is out of resonance with what you want.

Now define what you are feeling: anger, frustration, grief, jealousy, fear, etc. The emotion surfaces to show you how you yourself are out of balance.

Now breathe in and out. Stop thinking about what you are feeling and just breathe. Stop blaming and judging others or situations for being or doing something other than what you want. Simply breathe in and out, using your will to focus on your breath only. Imagine you can see the light that comes in to you through your will center. That light is your connection to Source. Now you can begin thinking again by using your will to redirect your thoughts into a more positive and harmonious state.

Invite in gratitude for anything that broadens and deepens your own perspective. Stop thinking about what you have judged and be thankful for the new perspective. Free yourself from needing to be in control of your own situation, and become more accepting of what you have perceived to be out of harmony with your desires. Free yourself from needing to be in control. As you use your will to redirect your thoughts into a more positive and harmonious space, you will notice that the emotion begins to transform into a higher feeling state.

In summary:

1 ~Notice what you feel.

2 ~Look at the thoughts you connect with the emotion.

3 ~Define the emotion that is showing you how you are out of balance.

4 ~Stop thinking, judging, and blaming.

5 ~Breathe in and out, using your will center to redirect your thoughts to a more positive polarity.

6 ~Be grateful for new perspectives.

7 ~Free yourself from needing to be in control.

8 ~Notice that your feelings have come back into harmony.

This process will take your thoughts from your will center to your heart, and as your heart expands with love and light, your thoughts will spin off into the universe as a gift, an essence of positive energy. Automatically when you do this, you will notice that your feeling state also changes. Your emotions will subside because you regain harmony within your own essence. Your feeling state is now raised in vibration and you can begin to co-create a higher vibratory state in your environment, allowing love and light to fill you and all others for a manifestation of harmonious unity. We trust that this exercise of utilizing your will may assist you in clearing out old patterns where you feel disregarded, overridden, disrespected, or out of harmony. Those old patterns will fall away as you do this exercise regularly.

The Importance of Laughter

Laughter is one of the most important tools you can use to change your perception and alter your mood. We have spoken to you often about using humor or laughter to change the severity of a reaction to anything that you either do not like or do not approve of as it comes into your environment. We do not mean laughing at the expense of others; we mean genuine joy-filled laughter that can be shared by all. Even if you yourself cannot change something, you can always laugh at what and how it arrives in your life. Laughter will always illuminate any situation that seems challenging or even absurd. You cannot be outraged, upset, or dismayed by anything if you are laughing at what is happening. Learn to laugh at any occurrence you believe is disrupting or challenging your life, rather than adversely reacting through anger, disappointment, or grief. As you laugh, you will notice that not only does your mood improve, but your physical sensations of stress and tension dissipate as well. Change is a constant in life. Learn to use laughter in combination with all the many changes you encounter, and you will flow through them more easily. When things seem not to be working in your life, just laugh at the circumstances, and that act will help to lighten any situation. Using humor can always be uplifting and help return you to a state of joy.

Asking and Receiving

It is important to ask for help when you need it. There are many beings of light waiting to give you the help that you request. The more you take responsibility for your fifty percent to change, the more easily they can help you. Ask for all aspects of yourself to be filled with the white light of truth so that you can easily release your illusions. Ask for the golden light of grace to remove the effects of all karma. Ask to be filled with the green healing light to correct any imbalances in your system. Ask to be surrounded by the blue light of trust to enhance your ability to trust in each other and the universe. Ask for the violet light to transform everything in you and around you that does not support unity. Ask to be illumined by the yellow light and to experience joy. Ask to be filled with the pink light of love to expand your ability to be love and to give love. Give thanks to all those who help you.

Laarkmaa’s Heart Meditation

We would like to invite you to help us, if you choose, to restore the Heart of Humanity through an exercise with color. We would like to remind you as we work with this, what the energy vibrations of each color resonate with and how you may utilize that energy. We will lead you through the exercise and ask you to visualize what you can. You are going to begin with recognizing the energy of the heart; the energy of the heart needs to be placed back into humanity. It has been suppressed and ignored for too long. It is time that the power of love, the energy of the heart, reach its rightful place to lead humanity.

So begin in any way you choose by seeing the pink light of love in a ball of energy in front of you. Feel that ball of pink light in front of you. That is the love from your heart, and that is the love from the universe, and it is yours. As you recognize it, and as you feel the energy of that pink light of love, you can begin to feel tingles through your body. You can feel a resonance with love energy. Remember, with love energy, no fear can exist. See the pink light of love emanating all around, as if you hold it in your hands in front of you. See it moving into your heart and back from your heart, and see it moving out across the planet and across the heavens. See it going into the heart of every human being on the planet. Take a moment to breathe in the pink light of love and breathe it out, sending it to the heart of each human on Earth.

Tone briefly using the vibratory sound that opens the heart…. Ahhhhhhh. We will tone with you while you are holding this ball of pink energetic love light. Use the tones to help carry the love and light you are sending into the heart of every human on earth. Ahhhhhhhh……

Now feel that energy vibrating through you, and know that you are loved and that you are love. As you focus, softly gazing at the pink light, notice that there is a blue light surrounding the pink. It is the energetic vibration of trust, for trust is built upon love. See that soft blue light radiating around the ball of energy you are holding in your hand: pink in the center, blue around it. Feel the energy of trust permeating every cell of your being. You feel calm. You feel peaceful. That is the energy of trust. And as you feel that in yourself, look for us. We always represent ourselves as blue waves so that you can trust that we bring you truth. Our energy carries the energy of trust along with the energy of love. See that blue wavy energy around the pink ball that you hold, and then begin to send those blue waves out across the planet to each human heart that is filled with the pink light of love. Surround that energy now with the blue light of trust so that they may feel what it is like to be safe, to be calm, to trust. Take a few moments and send that to all of your brothers and sisters across the planet, and send it into your own heart as well: the blue energy of trust.

Now look and you will see the golden light of grace radiating down from the heavens, from the universe, into the ball that you are holding in front of you: pink love light in the center, trust around it, and golden light of grace beginning to radiate so that you see waves of gold surrounding the blue. This is the energy that releases all karma. This is the energy of grace. This is the energy that Christ Consciousness taught and Mary Magdalene taught, that when you have love and trust, grace can erase everything. Allow the golden light of grace to enter into your own heart. Feel it, knowing that you have choice to take responsibility with the energy of grace for what comes next. Send the golden light of grace to each human heart across the planet, freeing all from the binding ties of karma, allowing the grace to remove them from the pain and suffering so that they may begin to understand how to be different. Send the golden light of grace into each heart. It shimmers and vibrates. It is beautiful. Send it with love and trust: grace for all humanity.

Now see the green healing light: beautiful, brilliant, emerald green. It is all around the waves of gold, so that you have pink in the center, surrounded by blue, surrounded by gold, and now there is green. Now that you have the energy of love, trust, and grace, you can begin to heal. So heal yourselves, Dear Ones. Invite in the healing energy to heal every split between you and other, every split between heart and mind, every split between right and wrong, every split between “my way” and “your way.” Allow the green energy to radiate healing until there is no more separation. There is only unity. And unity is big enough to hold all aspects so that each human being can follow her or his path without conflict, using love, trust, and grace. Now send that green healing light from yourself forward into all humans across the planet. Send it with the intention that it heal all splits: All splits of my country-your country. All splits of my oil-your oil, my money-your money. All splits between “I am right” and “you are wrong.” All splits between my God and your God. All splits between brain and heart. All splits between you and me. Send that green healing energy out to all humanity. Send your intention on your breath.

With love, trust, and grace, may each human being heal. Now, Dear Ones, notice a brilliant yellow light shining down on you. Notice also the same light, brilliant yellow, is coming out of your own heart, for it is your divine spark, and it is connected with the light of illumination of the universe. Illumination—this is part of what the Christ Consciousness was bringing to humanity, the illumination to see the truth. Look at the yellow light. It is brilliant and it illuminates your way so that you can see how to be fully present in each present moment, listening, looking, and taking responsibility for everything you think, everything you feel, and everything you do, so that it resonates in unity for the highest good of all. Feel the golden light of grace reaching out and touching the green light of healing and then touching the yellow light of illumination. They are connected. When you heal because you have accepted grace, you can become illuminated, and when you are illuminated, you can see the truth. Send that beautiful yellow light forward into each human heart, so that each human heart may experience the love, the trust, the grace, the healing, and the illumination. See that light reaching each human heart, from your heart to theirs and from the universe into each of you, helping you to awaken to Who You Are, the new beings, the new humanity.

Now, Dear Ones, notice the brilliant white Christ light, the light of truth shining into your heart, surrounding, radiating all around this ball of energy you are holding in front of you; the white light of truth that you have reached by moving from love to trust to grace to illumination to truth, with healing. Notice it is all there all around you, and send forth into the heart of every human being the white light of truth, so that they may dispel all of their belief systems and all of their patterns of behavior, moving instead into the foundation that all beings are one; you are divine beings of love who have the capacity to trust one another, to be compassionate with one another, to support one another with love. Send forth the white light of truth so that all may awaken, if they choose.

Now, Dear Ones, we approach the final color. It is the violet light of transformation. See it radiating around the ball of energy you hold in front of you. It is waving all around. It is the energy of transformation. It is the energy of transmutation. With this energy, you can change anything. This is the energy of change . See it all around you. Send forth into each human heart across the planet the ability to change, the ability to transcend their beliefs, the ability to transmute old patterns of behavior and to be different. Send the violet light to each human heart so that they may experience it.

Now, notice if you will, that you have a radiating ball of seven colors in front of you. It is a torus (a spiraling geometric pattern). It is the energy of the human heart. It is time, Dear light movers, that you take this energy, and you place it back in its rightful place for the heart of humanity. As you send this torus of energy out to each human heart on the planet, you are awakening the heart of all, and you are sending the energy back where it belongs. Send this torus with love and trust…the pink light of love, the blue light of trust, the golden light of grace, the green light of healing, the yellow light of illumination, the white light of truth, the violet light of transformation. Send it forth, and as you send it, you will see sparks of light all across the planet. These are the light movers who are connecting with you through silver threads of connecting light, weaving a web, a net to hold you, as you create the form of a new humanity.

We love you. Remember this exercise, for it is helping to awaken Who You Are, and use it to bring peace to your world.
