Techniques for Spiritual Growth.

There are 6 main advantages to keeping spiritually cleansed

1. Increases your ability to concentrate
2. Aids relaxation
3. Helps to keep you positive
4. Gives you crystal clear communication with your Guides
5. Allows you to tap 100% pure spiritual energy
6. Strengthens your aura against earthbound souls and thought forms

1. Close your eyes and relax, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth
2. Concentrate on the region of your solar plexus (or stomach)
3. Imagine a small ball of bright, white light in that area
4. In your mind's eye, see the white light expand to fill your whole body and beyond
5. See it as a large white egg surrounding your body and the area around it.
6. In your mind's eye, see the white light becoming brighter and brighter.
7. Imagine a skin holding in this positive, white light and allowing positiveness to pass through in both directions and allowing negativeness to pass out but not in.
8. Say, in your mind, "I close my aura to all except my Higher Self and I send Love and Light to any negativity in and around my aura"

This will cleanse your aura for a short while and can be repeated as necessary to keep your aura cleansed. With practice this can be done very quickly and so I call this technique 'Speed Cleansing'.

There are many other methods of spiritual cleansing. There is a Native American method which is called smudging that involves burning incense. However, I prefer another physical method that I learned when I was involved with the Americana Leadership College (ALC).

1. Close your eyes and relax, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
2. Shake your hands vigorously a few times or rub them together vigorously.
3. Place 2 fingers of your right hand gently on the centre of your forehead (3rd eye region).
4. Rub gently in a circle and Say "In the name of the ....... (insert the most positive word for you, it may be Love or Peace or God or whatever). ...within me".
5. Lift your left hand up to your forehead beside your right hand.
6. With both hands at your forehead gently rub your fingers towards your temples and then gently stroke down to your chin.
7. Shake your hands vigorously a few times.
8. Lift your left hand up to your forehead beside your right hand.
9. Gently move both hands up and over the back of your head and down to the top of your shoulders in the middle of your neck, then round to the front of your neck and place your palms together and lower to the centre of your chest and stop.
10. Shake your hands vigorously a few times.
11. While performing 6-9, say in your mind (or out loud if you prefer) "I cleanse my body and I cleanse my soul".
12. Repeat 6-10 and the affirmation (I cleanse my body and I cleanse my soul) until you feel chills at the back of your neck or at least a warm sensation there.

This is a very powerful method of spiritual cleansing. All of the chakras around the head are cleansed and this cleansing does last for quite a while longer than the speed cleansing technique. I would advise everyone to use this method at least 20 times a day.
