Energy Cords: The Invisible Pull

When it comes to health, my journey led me to discover that 50% of my issues were energetic, and that most human beings are struggling with energy toxicity, from just being unaware of the activity in their energy bodies.

I am an Energy Sensitive and what that term means to me is: I am very sensitive to subtle energies and vibrations in myself and that emit from my environment, objects, and people.

This sensitivity to energies enabled me to become aware of what happened to me energetically, that led to my decline in health. (The other 50% was a genetic chemical brain imbalance which will be elaborated on in another post and what I used to heal that naturally, in addition to the bacterial/parasitic infection in the previous post.)

So, what do Energy Cords do?

Energy cords connect us to other energetic beings. These beings may or may not be in human physical form. Most often they are, though at times, there can be additional energy beings that attach to us, passed loved ones, etc. We can connect to anyone we sub-consciously choose to. These cords can connect into anywhere in our energy body or chakras, and can manifest in our physical bodies.

But the problem with energy cords, is that it creates an automatic exchange of energies both good and bad between the energies of bodies of the connected. And if one or both are energetically toxic, the cord can become toxic and harmful.

If you have any undealt with cords (and most do until becoming aware), it can allow the other person to drain you or siphon the energies they may be struggling with into you.

If it is someone you want to keep a connection to like a spouse or partner, you can keep a spiritual cord, but the other energy cords may need to be severed until full energetic health is attained by both parties. (Which I achieved by healing my chakras, and is for another post).

How do these cords affect you negatively?

They can carry emotions that do not belong to you. They can cause fatigue and exhaustion, from being energetically poisoned or drained. They can allow others to manipulate you energetically. Why can't you stop thinking about this person, even though you want to? Why do you keep going back to that toxic relationship, even though you want to break it off? Why can't you let go of this person in your life? Why does this person have the ability to affect you so deeply?

They can also create physical pain, manifesting in the location of the cord, or thru the whole body, as it tries to find a way to deal with this excess energy.

At this point maybe you're thinking, "What can be done about this!?!"

Cut them.

*I would like to divert for a moment to explain something else. It is possible at times, for us to subconsciously remove an energy cord incorrectly, if we are unaware of the cords existence or do not know about energy cord cutting. What can happen with this? If we incorrectly detach a cord by force, a wound can be created. This energy wound will leak and can end up being very draining and painful to experience. It can heal, but it may take a very, very long time and can stay open until properly sealed. Leaks can happen throughout the energy body and chakra systems, which manifests as fatigue in the physical body. These need to be patched.*

How do you cut a cord?

Cutting and patching energy cords or any leaks or wounds is actually very easy and simple.
Here's what worked for me, but first a little explanation on one of my favorite energy techniques, the FO hold.

The Frontal-Occipital hold, is a simple physical and energetic technique that circuits the brain and its wiring and firing, and enable the body and energy body to connect in a way that is more effective when verbally self-affirming and creating a verbal energetic intention. Since words have energy, speaking aloud over yourself while doing the FO hold is very effective at enabling your words to manifest in your body. It can be used for any kind of positive affirmation, while doing deep breathing to help relax, and in unison with other energy techniques.

The FO hold works by placing one hand on the forehead, and one hand on the back of the head, and holding it. That's it! It's so simple.

So lets go thru this cord cutting process shall we?

Do the FO hold (either hand on front or back, whichever feels best).
Verbally say out loud something along these lines:

"I gently without causing any hurt or harm, cut and sever from my Being, any and all energy cords connected to me. I use the energy of fire (or any preferred hot sealing energy) to cauterize the wound, and any and all wounds or leaks in my chakras and energy body. I apply the healing energy of the Rose (or any soothing energy symbolism) to the wounds to help them heal. I cover all scars, wounds, or leaks in my chakras or energy body with beautiful diamond energy (or any protective solid energy symbolism), tough and strong to protect and seal them closed. No cords can attach or re-attach unless I consciously give them permission."

Cords can be done all at once, or sometimes individual focus for certain ones. Use your intuition to feel what works best, or if you're familiar with energy techniques that assist in testing for what is best for the body/energy body such as Muscle Testing, to help figure out what works best for you.

The after effect can be likened to feeling relieved, a filling up of your own energy from no longer leaking or being drained, dizziness or dazed feeling from adjustment, a quiet and serene sensation of energetic silence (being alone within yourself for the first time). You may feel tingles or throbbing, or even an ache at previous cord locations in your body.

Allow time for yourself to rest and heal after performing this energetic "surgery".

PS-Excuse my cheesy stick figure illustrations. ;)

PPS-It is possible for someone to continue trying to re-attach a cord after you cut it from yourself. This is usually done subconsciously on their part, but simply deflecting it and not allowing it to re-attach is all that is needed, until after a while the person you were once connected to will stop trying to re-attach. If you do subconsciously allow it to re-attach and are able to sense it, or start noticing signs and symptoms popping up again of having an energy cord you don't want, simply performing the cutting process again is enough to deal with it.

Namaste.

Why Everyone Should do a Parasite/Bacteria Cleanse

Do you worm your pets? It's a common thing that we pet owners do, but have you ever stopped to think "Why am I not worming myself?".

You're an animal too. You're susceptible to the same influences as the other creatures among us, yet we rarely stop to think that maybe for our health we need a good worming at least once a year, like our pets.

 During a particularly stressful time of my life, my immune system went down, and I ended up acquiring a systemic parasitic and bacterial infection, that I only stumbled upon knowing about on accident, when taking a supplement that brought it literally to the surface of my skin. I'll spare you the images, but patches of bacteria and parasites began popping up on my skin, alerting me that I had a very serious issue to deal with.

During a phase of about one year, I took a tincture series, that my Mother discovered thru research, designed by someone with extended experience in parasites the world over. They devised this combination which is very effective at removing candida, parasites, bacteria, and fungus that the body may aquire from just being alive. It is also a very easy system to follow compared to many much more elaborate parasite cleanse systems. (My family did a few in my early childhood and they were a pain-in-the-booty to go through!). In addition, I took some strong detox herbs, to enhance the cleansing of the toxic build-up in my tissues from the parasites and bacteria. The release was so strong that my hair literally changed colors. No joke. It became blonde then red began seeping thru.

The summary I have of the hair color change can only be because the chemical change was so radical.

From this experience, I noticed a definite improvement in energy, stamina, mood, and focus. 

The system consists of a three part series of tinctures, the first taken the first few days of the full moon (when parasites are their most active and vulnerable). The second and third are taken over a longer period of time, around a week or so each. This is done each month for a season, as parasites lay eggs that will hatch and thus you'll have a new batch to kill.

My husband and myself do 1-2 yearly full maintenance cleanses to clean our systems, and if exposed to mold, bacteria, etc. we use the specific tincture called "Dragon Dreams" which alone is highly effective at removing bacteria, fungus, and candida, and restoring the body from invasion.

Below is a link to the tinctures and more information.

My Hair Journey: Natural Alternative Hair Dye Reviews

Do you like to dye your hair? Do you find it fun to change it up, or simply find your natural color to be a little bit blah?

I think natural hair, if you have a flattering color, is the way to go. For myself, I prefer dark hair, and recently set about finding a healthy alternative to the toxin laden hair dyes you see all around you! Care to join me on this journey?!

First some history:
 
I first dyed my hair with a temp. red dye, around the age of ten. It was fun at the time, but I knew dye was bad for you so I left my hair natural and let it be. Somewhere around 16-17, I decided to dye *just* the tips of my hair bright neon red! It was fun and daring, and I wasn't getting those toxins on my scalp!
Then somewhere along the way, the bug to try black hair bit me. Since then I have had a relentless love affair with rich, exotic, super dark hair color!

I used Natural Instincts, which at the time was healthier, and had no ammonia, but it did have the bad guy of this story, the wretched toxic chemical PPD!!!!
PPD, (para-phenylenediamine) is a coal tar that is used to make hair dyes permanent. It's most prevalent in darker hair colors, and it's so bad, people have died from major allergic reactions to it. Though you may not initially be allergic, the allergy can build up over time as PPD deposits and stays in your system. You go to dye your hair like normal when WHAM you suddenly swell up like a balloon, get serious chemical burns, or worst case scenario, get anaphylaxis and go into a coma.

A few other chemicals to look out for that are overall bad and may be possible allergens: toluene, PPGs, Ammonia.

So here's what I did, and what you *shouldn't* do. I dyed first with black. Let that fade over a year. Then dyed it with Natural Instincts red. That was fun; then it faded quickly as all red pigment does. I dyed over with a medium brown Natural Instincts. Then I finally went and had my hair done professionally for the first time, in mahogany with blonde streaks. I did that twice, then made my biggest hair mistake. I picked out Nutrisse Garnier in some red shade, not realizing that um, it would come out freaking clown orange! I then used a product called Color Oops and that ended up turning me blonde and frying my hair. I dyed over that with two Natural Instincts semi permanents in dark brown colors, which didn't cover it, and then was stupid again and thought I could recreate the mahogany color the stylist put on my head, with Redken Violet/Red. It came out magenta. Ugh. Then yet again, I colored that over with Revlon Colorsilk Dark Brown because it was cheap and had no ammonia. By this time, my hair was so fried it wouldn't hold color anymore. It just washed right out and my hair was this reddish golden brassy brown and it was so unflattering. My scalp was burned and I felt incredibly foolish. I had put so many toxins in my body and ruined my hair in the process.

So I grew it out. Over two years. It was AGONIZING. Cutting off a teeny bit of ugly, ruined, fried hair an inch at a time, waiting for all the pretty natural color to come back. And finally when I had my hair nice and natural again...I ended up going through some health changes that made my hair turn golden light brown, then reddish golden brown, all unflatteringly warm on my cool toned skin. It was heartbreaking.

But I wasn't about to make the same mistake and use something terribly unhealthy. So, thus began my search for the natural and healthy alternative hair dye!

1) *Henna and Indigo*

Henna, or Lawsonia Inermis, is the most natural, plant based colorant/dye in existence. So far, it can't be beat.
And by combining Henna, Indigo, and other natural plant derivatives like Cassia and Amla, there are a variety of color stains
one can achieve with their hair. If you want to go natural and have healthy, thick hair, this is the route I recommend.
*However* for sensitive individuals such as myself, *Indigo* can sometimes cause reactions. Either allergic, (though not that common) or a migraine side effect, as was the case with me.
To achieve the most flattering color, I needed Henna with a high quantity of indigo, because Henna by itself is a red/orange (not flattering on a cool skin tone such as myself).
But as it turned out, to get that darker color, I needed to leave the Hendigo on for a long time, 4-6 hrs. at least. And the more someone who is sensitive is exposed to Indigo, the higher chance of migraines.
So, Hendigo was not for me. But that doesn't mean it won't work for you! It has worked for many a person, so I encourage you to give it a try, and see for yourself.
I purchased my Hendigo 100% organic and pure from www.mountainroseherbs.com .

 

A word of advice: be VERY careful whom you purchase Henna and Indigo or Hendigo combos from, as some companies choose to corrupt their product by putting ***PPD*** (AUGH!!), and/or metallic salts in the mix. Metallic salts you also want to stay away from, because if they end up mixing with a previous chemical component on your hair, it can end up MELTING your hair.
A great website to learn more is www.hennaforhair.com.

2) *Organic Color Systems*

After trying Hendigo, I really wanted to try OCS. I had heard about how it had only the tiniest trace amounts of PPD in it, to make the dye permanent and how it seemed to be the only other healthier alternative that I could find. The other "organic" dyes such as Herbatint, Naturtint, etc. ALL have PPD in normal amounts, and reviews online warned of how drying and damaging they were, as well as the colors not being true.
It turned out a stylist in my area had it available, so I set an appt. asap! I went in all excited and picked the second to darkest color, and she lathered it on. She used what I believe was a regular chemical developer.
After a few minutes though, my scalp started to tingle and burn. I did the stupid thing and ignored it, since I was paying nicely for this appt., and left it on the full amount of time. When it was finally washed off, the cold water on my scalp felt so good
and when she put the hot blow dryer on my hair, YIKES! I knew it had burned my scalp and it hurt. No redness, bumps, or sores, but I could feel the burn for a few days after. Maybe it was because of having tried Hendigo again for only an hr. this time, a few days earlier. (No migraine, but no change to hair color either). Maybe it was the developer she used. Either way my scalp didn't like it! Neither did my wallet.
It was only later that I researched and read that OCS does have some other chemicals in it as well, (though in small amounts), that aren't the best for you, besides PPD.
My hair though, was in great shape! It wasn't dry or damaged. But for someone who washes regularly, it faded very quickly and only a month or so later, I was sad to see there was barely any darkness left.
I was nervous to try it again, but what else could I do? I scheduled another appt.

3) *EcoColors*


A few days later, while talking about hair dye, my Mom showed me some of her old box dyes, and the EcoColors stood out. I was sad to see it too had PPD and was going to go to spend lots of money on a stylist again, but I decided to look it up online. To my surprise, on the EcoColors website it stated that they had found a way to remove PPD and it was now a PPD free line!
Yay for me! So I cancelled my OCS appt.
I ordered my box of EcoColors, which with S&H came out to $27. I was nervous but also excited to possibly have found a way to go dark without poisoning myself and breaking the bank! On their website they state that EcoColors uses traces of diluted aqua ammonia (non-toxic) and hydrogen peroxide to get enough lift to make it permanent.
But it claimed no PPD! It came in the mail and I had my sister apply it for me. Did it burn? Nope! It did itch and tingle a teeny tiny bit, and my scalp was slightly sensitive after but it was nowhere near as bad of a reaction I had to the OCS!
I used their darkest shade, black. But it didn't come out quite black, more like a really dark brown with a violet/red undertone. But I am very pleased! The staying power is much better, my hair still has darkness to it after many washings.
Since it's more natural, the colors seem to run light. Dark Brown is more a Medium Brown, etc.
For myself, I plan to keep using EcoColors as it worked best for *me*!

The End....for now!

Welcome to my Blog!

This blog is dedicated to the collaborations and crazy musings that contain my mind. It has no particular reason, order, or purpose beyond a kaleidoscope of perspectives that reside in the deep mysterious recesses of my human consciousness! So, without further ado, I resign from this confusing introduction that I so awkwardly don't know what to say in, and allow the future posts, with actual subjects, to be the focus from here on out!

Ciao!
