Blog Series: Power Cleansing

April 26, 2015 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

As I was cleaning out some of my old online folders I came across an old outline for a book I was working on regarding personal and spacial spiritual cleansing. I thought it would be great to turn this outline into a blog series. Spiritual cleansing is an important part of spiritual work, but one that can be a bit confusing for the beginner and advanced practitioner alike.

Through this blog series we’ll explore:

What is spiritual cleansing and why is it important?
Spiritual cleansing from various mystical traditions
Tools for the cleansing arsenal
Cleansing the body and empowering the soul
Space clearing and cleansing
Working with entities: The good, the bad and the ugly
Diet and nutrition as tools for spiritual cleansing
Working with karma
Psychic protection and defending against psychic vampires, hexes and curses
Exorcism fundamentals
and much more

It is my hope that you’ll be able to use some of what I’ll be offering in this series to move you into a deeper relationship with your spiritual journey. Along the way I’ll be offering exercises to help you begin or evolve your work with cleansing and clearing.

I also want to hear from you. What are your questions and experiences with spiritual cleansing? Have you ever witnessed or participated in an exorcism? What tools have you placed in your personal arsenal for cleaning out spaces both internally and externally?

Remember, if you need help along the way you can always reach out by contacting me via my website: www.michaelbrazell.com

Be the Light You Want to See in the World

April 17, 2014 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

I am the Light,

The Light is Within me,

The Light Moves Throughout me,

The Light Surrounds me,

The Light Protects me,

I AM THE LIGHT.

The above affirmation has been part of my daily practice since 2008. Every morning I start my day with it. I feel the power of my inner light, and I step out into the day ready to embrace the joy and challenge of living in this beautiful world. I’ve spent the past few weeks on an expedition of sorts. I pulled out all of my old journals, went through old blog posts, and really wanted to see who I was when I first started on this journey into spirit.

It was a beautiful thing to see the innocence of starting on a spiritual adventure, making the commitment to doing this work full-time, and how I was dealing with uncertainty in those moments. I’ve made a lot of changes since starting this journey (physically and spiritually), but through the digging I was also able to acknowledge the sacred foundation, the unchanging, and am more able now to give those roots a bit more life. I use to be a lot more positive about life, and my journals use to be filled with beautiful affirmations. As of late, they’ve looked more like “whine” sessions. Life grabs us, but light grabs us too. I’ve gone through a lot of transition over the past few months. Making a geographic change, relationship changes, and coming back into alignment with my family. All this change has sent shock waves through my system. Like a lightening bolt hitting the earth and breaking open the surface.. reveling that rich soil beneath the hardened stone.

I think too often positive affirmations and books like “The Secret” get a bad rap. A lot of people assume that these tools are just putting masks on the negative, or that they are teaching that we must never have negative thoughts. A lot of people become bound to the negativity, we tend to sit in the struggle for longer than necessary, and we may even lose a sense of worth connected to having “good” in our lives. Positive affirmations are invitations for the good things to come into our lives, negative affirmations are easy… positive affirmations can be more difficult if we feel bound to not being able to see the light in our dark moments. Positive affirmations are pulling up the shades. The affirmations are invitations for us to join life in a different way, to step into life through a different perspective.

When we begin to do the work on inviting the positive into our live and work through gratitude, we are doing the deeper work of the soul. We are making claim to our birthright. Engaging positivity also allows us to be less reactive to negative situations. Affirmations, like mantras, help us to train the emotional body, to come back to center, and to see this “negative” situation through a different lens.. thus allows us to work through it, rather than be bound by it.

Over the past few days I’ve gone into deep reflection about what I want to do with my life. How do I want to do the work of the soul? How can I be of service to those in my life, and to humanity as a whole? Going through my journals also allowed me to see what my original intentions were for taking the leap into the sacred as a profession. I’ve been truly blessed along the way, and to go back to those moments in my past where things seemed “impossible”, yet there was a current running through my life… one that has never let me fall, and one that stays with me as I move into the next experiences in my life.

I say this often, but if you are not journaling, you really need to start. I’m so thankful for all those little reminders, those messages from my past to my future self, that I am not able to read, and to take to a deeper place of understanding.

Be the light you want to see in the world. Let you light shine, and set this world on fire with your glory.

You are Loved. You are Beautiful. You are Divine.

The Cleanse: Hitting the Spiritual Reset Button

March 27, 2014 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

I want to start off this post by saying that the cleanse I am posting here is my journey. Some of you may like it, others may not. I only share it because we can all learn from each others trip along the soul highway. I often find myself called to do a cleanse when I feel it is time to do a reset. My spirituality is my life, my profession, and my passion. Having come through a big transition, I feel that I am still carrying some old resistance, habits, and patterns. Doing deep, and honest self inquiry allows us to go into a cleanse with clear intention. I am also feeling that things are shifting for me spiritually. I am starting to work deeper in the intuitive space, communing with my guides, my angels, and higher vibration beings. When engaging these higher energies, I find it of value to detox and purify the body as much as possible. It is also important to have a plan of action in place for going into your cleanse. This helps keep you focused and aligned with your intention. I am hoping to do a daily video post for this as well, and you can check out my YouTube page here. If I do the videos I’ll also try to post them here as well.

So, for this cleanse and detox I am starting with 10 days. I am starting with a 3 day master cleanse and then going into 7 days of water only. Each water day is going to be dedicated to a particular chakra. I bought 7 jugs of distilled water. On each of the jugs I am going to draw the sacred symbols associated with each chakra, and will charge the water by chanting/toning the chakra sounds into the water. I also have some wonderful chakra incense that I’ll be using for my morning meditations. This cleanse is a bit more intensive than other things I have done in the past, but I feel that this is what I need to do right now to clear out some stagnation. I am also structuring my reading time, online time, and yoga practice to support this adventure. I’ll end the 10 days by doing 3 days of green/raw protein shakes, and I’ll allow my intuition to tell me what comes after that. I am cutting gluten, sugar, soy, and processed foods out of my diet moving forward. I have been receiving a lot of clear messages from my guides to start doing this, so I am.

When stepping off the ledge and into something like a cleanse, or detox be sure that you allow yourself time to prepare to go into it, but also be kind and gentle with yourself as you exit the cycle. The most important part of a cleanse is your journal. What emotions are coming up? What body reactions are you having to the cleanse? Write down your weight at the start, and track it throughout to be sure you are not losing too quickly. What are your dreams telling you during this time? I find that a cleanse usually brings up much more than our dependence on certain foods and additives. Remember also, that cleanses and detoxes do not need to be food centered. Taking a break from the computer, TV, the bar scene, clubs, or even pulling away from certain people might be a good thing.

For me, this is also a chance to reset parts of my life. To come back to center, to bring my power home. I do lots of energy work, self-healing, self-reflection, readings on myself, and this allows me to also be of service to my clients, friends, and soul family. It also allows me to work more closely with this new and wonderful energy that is coming in. I’ve had a lot of resistance stepping more deeply onto my path, and this process helps to clear away some of that muck. I am also going to be working on cleansing and balancing the energies in my physical space. Lots of work ahead, and lots of great things that I’ll be sharing here in the next few days.

What in you is calling you forward? What in you needs to be cleansed right now? Are you able to pause now for a moment, and bring awareness to that area of your being?

You are Loved. You are Beautiful. You are Divine.
