6 Spiritual Practices to Raise your Vibration

Gabriel Cousens, in his brilliant book, “Spiritual Nutrition”, points out six spiritual practices that  dramatically raise your vibration, prepare and maintain the physical body as a superconductor of light and quiet the emotions and anxieties of the mind.

These practices, when done from a place of joy, will help to align the subtle bodies and allow more energy (light) into the system.  And except for moving us in the direction of the Divine, they will surely support the shattering of the maya (delusion of the mind) and create the preconditions to awaken higher consciousness, beyond all thought and experience.

Gabriel also warns that these 6 foundations may become obstacles on our spiritual path if we become attached to them or practice them in a goal oriented way.  He points out that spirituality it is a “pathless path” and without a complete devotion to commune fully with God, the 6  spiritual practices can also become empty mechanical disciplines that have limited impact on our evolution.  He says, “One simply needs to remember that we are not the body-mind-I AM complex, that we were never born and will never die, that one cannot lose what one never had (body-mind-I AM complex) and that one cannot attain what was never lost (Absolute, Enlightenment, Infinite Light).

1.  Nutrition – eat vegan, organic, live-food, highly mineralized, low sugar, individualized, moderate intake, pure living water and do periodic fasting.

2.  Building prana (life force) – Yoga Asanas, Pranayama, Tai Chi, Reiki, Tachyon Energy and other energy practices and Sacred dance.

3.  Service and charity – In the process of service and charity, we are able to face our attachments to things as well as to feel our connection to all of the family of humanity.  This helps expand consciousness through direct experience.

4.  Spiritual guidance and inspiration – Satsang, being in the energy field of a liberated or awakened spiritual teacher or in the energy of Truth.  Satsang gives meaning, value, heart and energy to spiritual wisdom teachings and spiritual life energetics.  Sangha, being with spiritual minded people and community.  Reading spiritual scripturesand great mystical poetry (Rumi, Hafiz, Blake, etc) and listening to sacred music and spending time in nature are also a part of this foundation.

5.  Silence – Meditation, prayer, mantras and chanting the names of God.  Silence is the doorway to the Heart of God.  The source of all spiritual wisdom emanates from the silence of the Divine.

6.  Kundalini Awakening – The awakening of the Divine force this is resting in potential within us.  This is known as the descent of Grace. It usually occurs through a living enlightened spiritual teacher, but may also occur spontaneously.  Once the Kundalini is activated, it begins to spontaneously move through our body, purifying every cell, every aspect of the DNA, every chakra, every organ and every tissue so that consciousness becomes activated in the next evolutionary stage.

Namaste.
