Connection is a Two Way Street

Anyone who is spiritual generally understands that we are all connected to a higher energy or Source that is divine and pure. As long as we stay connected to this energy, we feel in the flow and like good things are coming our way. What most people don’t realize is that there are two parts to this divine energy, and connection to both sides is essential to make things happen easily in your life.

The first part of this divine energy has been given many names – the Higher Self, Source energy, God, the Creator, the Universe…the list of names goes on and on, but it really is all the same energy. This energy comes from the “heavens” and is most often visualized as light coming down to us from up above. This energy is infinite and represents Divine Inspiration. All possibilities lie within this energy. All solutions lie within this energy. All ideas lie here too. Nothing is impossible and therefore, all things are possible in the Inspiration energy. When you are connected to this energy, you have great ideas and all the information and knowing you require to make your dreams a reality.

The second part of this divine energy is the earth energy – often referred to as Mother Earth or Gaia. Earth is our home and we are very connected to her. Earth energy grounds us and keeps us in the present moment. We often hear people use the phrases “She is so down to Earth.” or “He’s the salt of the earth.” Earth energy is also the energy that provides the resources to make anything we want a physical reality. Earth provides.

The two parts – the Heaven and the Earth come together to make our dreams come true. This is how we create. We get the divine inspiration from above and the resources to make it happen from below. If you are not fully connected to both ends, you will find yourself incomplete. Those connected only to the Divine Inspiration will have great ideas and knowledge, but they won’t materialize into anything. The ideas and dreams remain figments of the imagination without ever taking form. These people will also seem a bit “flighty” and unable to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground.

Similarly, those connected only to the Earth energy will have ample resources about them whether it’s people or money, tools or skills but never seem to be able to do anything of substance with them. There is no passion or inspiration to make use of these fine resources. These people often know they can do anything, but don’t know what to do. They’re stuck.

Now connect the two energies and WHAM! There’s the making of miracles. Where all things are possible meets all the resources you need to make them possible. Where passion meets purpose. This is the place of creation and when connected in this way, we create effortlessly, efficiently, joyfully, and very, very quickly.

How do we become connected to both ends? How do we get there? All you need to do is take a few seconds each day to perform a visualization/meditation technique. You will want to do this technique every morning and every time you feel disconnected (when you find yourself struggling). Here it is:

Imagine a sparkly white light coming from the center of the cosmos, down through the crown of your head and into your heart. Then the light will loop around and go back to the center of the cosmos. Breathe in and the light comes down, breathe out and the light goes back up. Do this a few times until the loop is established.

Next, imagine a golden light coming from the center of the Earth, up through the bottoms of your feet to your heart. It then loops around and goes back down to the center of the Earth. Breathe in and the light comes up, breathe out and the light goes back down. Do this a few times until that loop is established.

Now we join the loops together as one. Breathe in and the light comes from the cosmos to your heart, breathe out the light goes down to the center of the Earth, breathe in and the light comes up from the Earth to your heart, breathe out and the light goes back to the cosmos. This creates a figure 8 or infinity symbol as the two loops of light work together as one harmonious unit, connecting you to both the heavens and the earth.

As a final step, allow yourself to flow up and down in that infinity symbol like a fish swimming in the water. When you feel the flow, you become the flow; you are in the flow and life is good. Enjoy.

This month, may you connect with both heaven and Earth – then reach out and connect with an old friend or someone you haven’t spoken to in awhile. They’ll be glad to hear from you.
