Containing Sexual Kundalini through Tantra, To then Manifest Creatively

Submitted by Open on Fri, 09/28/2018 - 06:58

On the spiritual journey, as kundalini starts to rise from the base, progressively due to the spiritual work you may be doing (chakra meditations for example), then the movement of energy can feel very sexual at times. And it can result in a strengthening of sexual desire that wants to be fulfilled. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's right for it to be expressed sexually, perhaps because the situation isn't right for it, or else a potential partner isn't available, or because the energy is meant to be contained and expressed in a different way, which can then become amazingly creative in your life. You may contain it and embody it, through particular practices of 'tantra'.

Transitioning to 5D Consciousness: 4 Keys To Focus on the Higher Flow

Submitted by Open on Tue, 08/28/2018 - 05:40

There is a movement now, a flow, and it's gathering speed. But just as the realigning movement of consciousness itself is strengthening, so is the noise and drama of the Old Paradigm. When you're inquiring, you can palpably feel the anxiety, fear and conditioning of the many who are still clinging to the vestiges of the worn out 3D/4D reality. You'll likely feel it emotionally, mentally, physically and karmically when you make creative choices. We have to be careful we don't get stuck in dead-end loops. It's time to focus on the higher flow itself. Here are 4 essential keys.

How the Pole Shift is Affecting Humanity and the Planet

Submitted by Open on Tue, 08/07/2018 - 06:17

Although the current Pole Shift on Earth has been spoken of many times before, I do not believe the full magnitude of the effects have been truly hoisted on board. Also how this current one, combines with abrupt climate change, and Gaia's 5D shift, to create the 'perfect 3D storm' scenario. We must understand how it is increasingly not only affecting the precious biosphere in which we live, but also the electro magnetic affects on the bodymind, and how it impacts our psyche.

It is becoming crucial we confront this inconvenient truth...

5D Shift: 7 Ways for Dealing with Depressive "Grey" Energy in Your Field

Submitted by Open on Wed, 07/18/2018 - 03:38

A lot of people in The Shift are reporting a good deal of depressive "grey" energy around them in the field at this time. It's heavy, dense and demotivating. It makes people feel stuck, depressed, and somehow the usual creative flow of divine manifestation is retarded.

It means that things we might reasonably expect to come to fruition, don't.

What might be the cause of this and how can we deal with it?

How to Find Lasting Contentment and Fulfillment in a World of Change?

Submitted by Open on Mon, 07/16/2018 - 05:43

The pace of change is hotting up across our planet day by day. If it's not the system constantly introducing new ways to constrain freedoms, new distractions to entertain or enslave, new gadgets and widgets that we simply must have, then there's The Shift itself, which is pulling at the very bedrock of our reality. To add to the complexity, the soul is constantly looking for new expression and evolved ways of being. So in this cauldron of profound change, how might we find lasting contentment and fulfillment? It's a tricky balancing act, but there is certainly a way, providing we focus on some key essentials:

The Liberating and Empowering Effect of Absolute Forgiveness

Submitted by Open on Tue, 06/05/2018 - 05:49

On Openhand's level 3 course DIVINICUS, we explore deeply into the importance of not apportioning blame and instead taking full responsibility for the lives only we are creating - at a soul level, we draw everything to ourselves in order to learn, evolve and grow. One vital aspect of this approach is that of forgiveness: realising the other person is not to blame for their distortion (and my creation) and therefore being able to forgive them. In my experience, this is one of the most liberating and empowering things we can do. But if EVERY situation is purposefully designed by the natural flow for us to self-realise, then is there truly a need for forgiveness, and if so, what might that look like?

Enlightenment: You are the One - the Universe is Moving Within You

Submitted by Open on Wed, 05/30/2018 - 05:46

Great shifts of consciousness are happening out there in the field, and felt deeply within our very cells too. A Great Realignment is taking place, that evolving people are experiencing in every aspect of their lives: in relationships, careers and general living circumstances. Everything is of consciousness, and so as we emerge from the old paradigm, the very fabric upon which our lives have been founded is unravelling. As we process karma, it can often feel like being pulled through the eye of a needle, as first you contract into the density, and then emerge gloriously out the other side. How do you best ride this phenomenal rollercoaster?

5D Shift: New Phase Activated - Unwinding the Karmic Construct

Submitted by Open on Mon, 05/21/2018 - 04:48

We're passing through the Inflexion Point between the Old Paradigm and the New. An influx of vibrant energies pull on the tethering of the old Karmic Construct. We'll find ourselves challenged mentally and emotionally as the internal relationship constructs break apart. New 3D/5D hybrid states will create as the light breaks through. You may feel as if you have one foot in the old reality and one in the new. This can be a time of great liberation, expansion and opportunity. It all depends on how you allow yourself to perceive it - in fear and contraction as the old way of living progressively perishes? Or with excitement and adventure?

The Incredible Power of "Transmutation" on the Spiritual Path

Submitted by Open on Thu, 04/26/2018 - 04:45

I have to pinch myself sometimes, being here in this physical body. I know well a higher dimensional existence of pure light, where thought and creativity happen at lightening speed; where you feel completely interconnected with sentient life and can travel through the cosmos in a blink of the third eye. But I am here in this dense - and wonderful! - physical body. And I'm reminded that light can still change it. In fact consciousness can change all our 3D experiences and creations.

You just have to keep reminding yourself to let the light of the soul flow in. Then "Transmutation" of the 'base matter' becomes very possible...

The Flowing Path of Enlightenment and the "Non-Duality" Bubble

Submitted by Open on Mon, 04/23/2018 - 05:18

These are amazing times of great transformation for the earth and for humanity. People everywhere are graciously stepping out of the darkness of separation and disconnection from the divine. With each passing day, ever more are realising their interconnectedness and at-one-ment with all life. It is a breathtaking liberation! But as souls emerge, there are still many traps and fixations. We must not settle in fixed reality constructs. The soul is a continually inquiring, exploring and unwinding 'creature', at the core of our experience. Its expression is intimately interrelated with Enlightenment. 
 

That's why we must be careful not to slip into the uniformity of the 'non-duality' trap...

How to Innovate to Succeed on the Spiritual Path...in 4 steps

Submitted by Open on Tue, 04/10/2018 - 08:01

There can be nothing like awakening to your deeper spirituality. To know that you are an interconnected part of the whole and loved unconditionally by the divine is the deepest blessing. There often comes with it an enormous sense of gratitude, followed by the commitment to make essential changes in your life. But quite often, in a world of disfunction and disharmony, where every offering works to enslave in the old ways, it can seem a monumental task. Monumental it can be, but you don't have to get there in one giant leap! And it's essential to realise that ALL distortion - even those of the matrix - are founded on truth. That's why lasting change can happen through progressive innovation. Here's how...

5D Shift: Dredging the Bottom of the Energy Barrel...Rise and Shine!

Submitted by Open on Wed, 03/07/2018 - 18:35

Right now, to me, out there in the field, many are saying it's pretty hard going..."It feels like grind and graft". The field feels turgid, with a lot of energetic sh** being stirred up. I always remind people this is a good thing - it moves dense energy on. But that doesn't make it easy! And I also remind you we've been here a thousand times. And sometimes I think... "Really? What again?" But this is what it takes, and we are breaking through. I can feel the light shining through the density. Signs and synchronicity are stacking up that we're "Dredging the Bottom of the Barrel". Now that might sound pretty unpleasant to some, not something you'd be pleased about. But we can be. Here's why...
