Clearing negative energy from your home is a simple, essential task. Your home is your personal temple, and regular purification of negative energy is the key to keeping your sacred space a place of positivity, happiness and peace.

A clean, clear environment is conducive to a clean, clear mind and heart.  By clean we mean free of negative energy, as well as clutter and grim.

Just as dust and dirt can accumulate, so do outbursts of anger, moments of extreme sadness or depression, and experiences of fear. Theses buildups of low vibration have a direct effect on our emotions and sate of being.

By clearing your space of negative energy you can remove energetic obstacles and negative patterns, granting yourself the freedom and peace you desire.

Steps to Purifying Your Home With Light:

1. Burn orange and blue candles in what would be the center of your home, placing a large bowl of salted water between the candles.
2. Allow the candles to burn for 10 minutes. Visualize the light of the candles illuminating every room, the doorways, the windows, the telephone lines, and especially the bed you sleep in.
3. Now say the following prayer, asking the light to bless your home:
   
   “Down-ray the orange red flame of purification into the center of this house, including all rooms, grounds, and property. Take all black and gray atoms at least 10 feet into the mineral kingdom and dissolve them in the light.

   “Upon completion of this purification, down-ray the blue-white fire to change and rechange all aspects of this home, retaining this energy and bringing this house into the highest vibration possible.”

   Sense the light blessing everything in your home and thoroughly cleansing it.

4. Flow up your housecleaning with a prayer of protection. The prayer itself builds up over time, helping to keep negative energies out, while also uplifting visitors who come in:
    

   “Down-ray the golden ray of Thy divine protection to surround this home in seven flows of this light, strongly protecting everything herein and everyone who enters. In Thy Holy Name I ask this.”

Repeat this exercise every day until you feel it’s well established. After successfully doing this exercise, you will feel very different inside your home.

The imagination and creativity of a child is a precious gift. Paul Collard is the CEO of Creativity, Culture and Education (CCE), a UK-based organization funded by government “to unlock the creative potential of children and young people, in order to prepare them for success in the creative economy of the 21st century.”

Paul explains, “Creativity is … being able to make good ideas happen.” This is key because creativity and culture are drivers of social and economic change.

A recent project of CCE was assisting a group of children in London purchase a new classroom for their school campus – a nonoperational, full-sizedpassenger airplane! The children came up with the idea, negotiated the plane’s purchase, designed the interior with David Beckham’s personal plane designer, and wrote letters to council for permission to park it on school grounds.

By encouraging our children to imagine, to play, to think outside the box, we are instilling within them the knowing that their contribution to the world is valuable and essential. This confidence goes on to create talented individuals who will confidently go out and peruse their dreams.

Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis, two accomplished metaphysical teachers and authors, advocate the early spiritual education of our children to nurture their creativity, emphasizing that kids learn by example.

Dimitri shares the story, “Barbara and I were teaching the basic principles of metaphysics to young children, ages 6 to 14, who were studying to be actors in major motion picture films.  At one point Barbara shared with the children that talent shows up in the aura as a brilliant electric blue. The next day the children came to class and everyone was wearing blue – they got it!”

Introducing your kids gently to metaphysics is ideal, remembering that children are adult souls in a child’s body.  While Barbara and Dimitri recommend waiting until the age of twelve to introduce your child to meditation, exposing them to spiritual principles can be fun, and you may be surprised by how quickly they catch on!

A great way to work with the light with kids is to use creative visualizations, such as encouraging them to envision themselves surrounded in a golden bubble for protection, or seeing themselves cloaked in pink light for love.  You can also play creative games to teach your children about the divine light.

By sharing the light work with your children not only are you nurturing their natural ability to be creative, you are also watering the seeds of their innate spirituality.

“Almighty and Everlasting God, our hearts and prayers go to Japan and everyone who has been affected the by earthquake and tsunami. We ask that the healing light of God go to all the injured, the lost, the homeless and to help ease those souls who have made their transition. May the peace of God envelop all who are shaken and distress so that they may feel that God is with them always and that their fellow brothers and sisters are praying for them and ready to help in any way.

“We pray for God’s help to contain the situation at the nuclear power plant. We ask that the angels and archangels of Divine Light can contain the situation and bring everything to a safe conclusion. May the golden ray of wisdom and courage go to the leaders to help them make the right decisions and to be responsive to the guidance of the divine. May the protective light of God surround all souls who are in potential danger; to rescue workers, medical workers, and those who are working at the nuclear power plant so that they continually receive the blessings of God and the Holy Ones.

“May the love of God bless this planet as a whole, so that all the kingdoms of the earth are blessed in God’s eternal light and to bring us peace and compassion and that we may use this as a time to draw closer to God. In this hour of need, let Thy goodness and grace come shining through. Amen.”

In Light,

The ninth Key to success in your spiritual growth is Dynamic Action. Dynamic action is  divine inspiration made manifest.

All creation exists through the law of dynamic action. Everything in this universe and beyond -from a blade of grass, to a train, to the milky way-  is the product of divine inspiration given life. Dynamic action brings in vigor and vitality necessary to  bring our thoughts, desires, and dreams into being. You can desire the spiritual life, but if you are not putting that desire into action you will not get the benefit. Your spiritual growth begins as a longing. That longing must be ACTED upon to be fulfilled.

Exercise:  Meditate with the Golden Ray of Wisdom Light to uplift and motivate you to Dynamic Action

The fourth Key to success in your spiritual growth is Affirmative Will.

You must be in a steady state of affirming your will or desire to spiritually succeed. If you feel you cannot reach your spiritual goals or that you are somehow not worthy of God’s attention, you will need to redirect your attention. Each of us has a specific spiritual potential for this incarnated life. Your attitude needs to be one of “I know I will get there!”

Exercise: To reafirm and strengthen your Affirmative Will meditate with the Golden ray of Wisdom and Willpower

Third Key: KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge is the Third Key.
You are going to need a constant steady flow of knowledge to be spiritually successful.  Knowledge is like a beautiful rosebud, opening one petal at a time. Never let yourself be fooled into thinking you have learned it all. The more knowledge you gain, the more there is to learn.

Exercise: To enhance and awaken your passaion for spiritual Knowledge meditate with the Gold Ray for Wisdom

Each of us has a unique purpose when it comes to our career. We are each playing a part in the divine plan of life. When we go with the flow with our purpose, naturally our life moves in a positive direction. If we confound our career purpose, this can become an endless source of frustration and disappointment. A challenge in our career is that we do not pursue this part of our life alone. Others are part of our career life and spiritual purpose. When others make life difficult or work against the spiritual grain, it can make our life arduous. Yet, regardless of how others are acting, it’s up to us to continue to do what we know is right and true in our heart and things will work out.

I have been asked what the Higher feels about the current job climate and the millions of people who have recently lost their jobs. This is a complicated issue, but of course the divine is working diligently to turn things around. It will take time but conditions will eventually get better. The key is to continue to pursue your career with more determination than ever, regardless if you are currently working or not.

What the Higher has emphasized is that with the overextending of credit, many jobs were created based on a market that did not really exist. Now that that economy is correcting itself, many of the jobs connected to the inflated market have disappeared. Complicating conditions are those who are hording money and deliberately manipulating the market for personal gain. Yet, regardless of what is happening, the job market will correct itself because the supply and demand of jobs has not really changed, just moved around. Where some jobs are lost, others will eventually be gained.

The current situation does not change the spiritual purpose and career potential each of us has. But it does ask you to look more closely at your work life and call on all of your spiritual strength to get through this painful retunement process. The emerald green ray of balance and harmony is very important in these situations to keep your steady and patience through career challenges. The gold light is excellent to work with in your aura to bring inner strength and courage to help you do your best. Regardless of present conditions, your destiny shines as bright as ever.

In Divine Light and love,
Barbara Y. Martin

Fear shows up as a gray energy in the aura. The divine power that will help you in building courage is the golden ray of wisdom. This is the dynamic energy of confidence. It gives you the strength of God to face and resolve any fears. If God is truly in our corner, what have we really to fear? Use this energy as often as you need to and trust in God that you can surmount any fearful condition that has come into your life.

A most essential part of metaphysical work is protection. We all know how we must protect ourselves physically, but we also need to protect ourselves spiritually. We live in a sea of spiritual energy and it is very easy to get caught in energies of a low vibration without intending to. Spiritual protection keeps us in our own sphere of divine power. It lets in the uplifting energies while refusing the destructive vibrations.

Gold is the strongest energy of protection. Envisioning yourself in a golden bubble of light is very effective in building a protective spiritual shield around you. Your aura automatically has a protective quality to it, but adding the spiritual protection gives you even more power to maintain your spiritual equilibrium. And as you consistently work with the golden light, your protection continues to build.

I recommend reinforcing the golden bubble of protection when you wake up in the morning, before you go to work, before you go to sleep at night, before going to a party or meeting. If you got upset or something disturbed you, take a moment to reinforce the golden light. Think of the gold as your spiritual bodyguard. Working with the white light for protection is excellent as well. The white light brings in the divine essence and purity which automatically has an uplifting quality and helps you to disconnect any negative energy. The two together are unstoppable.

We would love to hear about your experiences of working with divine protection.
