EARTHLINGS

When astrology managed to prove beyond doubt that our lives are greatly influenced by the astronomical movements it became a science once again. However, do we take this newly found information seriously? Do we really understand how important this influence is? I do not think so. Otherwise we would take full advantage of this discovery.

Believing it or not, does not make much difference to the fact, that we are not in control of either the body or the mind. The mind is a filing cabinet that stores absolutely everything that has ever happened to its owner. The owner, in our case the human being, consists of 3 bodies: the physical, the spiritual and the astral. The physical body is doing the work on planet Earth, the astral body travels in the Universe and the spiritual body keeps the link between the two. Since we only use food for feeding the physical body, let us forget about the others for now. The physical body is the product of the mind and the genetic code one inherits from the current family. In addition to that comes the everyday influence of stars, planets and galaxies.

The energy structure of the physical body

Before getting into the subject deeper, we need to define the meaning of the word energies I use it in this book. Forget about physical and emotional energies, ambitions, determination and ability here. Energy is used on the terms of Physics, according to which everything and everybody has energies. I take it a bit further by saying that everything and everybody is energy and as such usually has a domineering charge either positive or negative. Since the usage of these adjectives would create misunderstandings I prefer to replace them with the terms slow and fast frequency energies. Following the rule likes attract - as in Physics - the physical body welcomes the energy charged similarly to it. However welcoming doesn't mean needing.

The momentary energy needs of the physical body depend on the requirements of the planetary movements and the existing energy level of the body. Being part of the Universe we have to blend in. We need to learn how to go with the flow. Naturally I am speaking about energy flow here. Without blending in we damage the physical body, and with it, we damage the Universe.

At the present time there are two major astronomical events forcing us to reconsider our way of living. One is the end of the Sun Age in 2012 and the influence of Uranus. From the point of our eating habits the latter is the more important. Aquarius constellation fully takes over from the still reigning Pisces in 2008. The influence of a constellation over our little planet is roughly 2.160 Earth years. That is why our attention is very much needed now. The Aquarius constellation is a calm, loving, patient and understanding era that produces fast frequency energies against the selfish, arrogant, impatient and slow energy making Pisces.

Although our society still projects the behaviour patterns human beings grew accustomed to throughout the ages, it is our responsibility to raise the energy level of the physical body. The transport of energies in and out of the physical body is done by the chakras. They are votex-like energy centres created by the multiple crossing of energy lines.

A human physical body has 7 major, 21 minor and many minuscule chakras. To our subject only the 7 major chakras are relevant.

1. base or root chakra is situated behind the caudal vertebra at the base of the spine. Its function is to hold the spine, take care of the kidneys and feeling related to permanence.

2. sex or sacral chakra was a palm width under the navel, however, through evolution it ended up in the navel. Looks after the reproductive organs and sex related feelings.

3. solar plexus was a palm width above the navel, now it is under the lowest ribs. It is to keep the body in balance and to look after the stomach, the gall bladder, the liver and the nervous system.

4. heart chakra is a palm width above the solar plexus. It is responsible for the heart, the blood circulation and the vagus nerve.

5. throat chakra is in the mouth. Its job is to take care of the bronchial and vocal system, the lungs and the alimentary canal. Problems related to willpower and communication show at this chakra.

6. forehead chakra is at the hairline. Looks after the nervous system, the left eye, the lower brain, the nose and ears.

7. crown chakra is located about 10 cm above the head. It looks after the upper brain and the right eye.

Every chakra has a counterpart on the back of the physical body.

How do they work?

Using the muscles around the votex, the chakra closes or opens when necessary. Since the rule of likes attract applies, the chakra is always eager to let in the energy that is similar to the one the physical body is holding. If the physical body were projecting slow energies, it would find a beam of fast energy very disturbing indeed. That is why we are drawn to people with similar energy structure to ours, even if we desire otherwise. To desire is not enough. Change of the energy charge in the physical body is needed.

The yellow brick road that leads to the rainbow

The road to happiness or to a better existence is always hard, struggling and sometimes even dangerous. However, help is freely available if we could only notice it. Like the alchemist in Paulo Coelho's book. When you want something very much the whole world is there to help you with your mission. I use the word mission deliberately here, for I believe, that it is our mission to try to get back into nature's cycle, learn to co-exist peacefully with it and with everything and everybody around us. The greatest help comes from the powerful forces of nature. Chakras have been activated to let the new, faster energy in. Therefore, changing the energy level of the physical body is not a choice but a need. Although we enjoy the enormous help from nature, weakness makes us succumb to vanity, the biggest enemy of all. The stubborn pride also stops us from noticing the warning signs. Complaints of back and neck ache have multiplied during the last few years, along with the income of bed and chair making companies. However, back and neck related pain - like most physical discomfort - should be treated internally and not externally. They are warnings, that losing the stubbornness and embracing the new, fast energies of Uranus should change old behaviour patterns and thought forms.

Maintenance of the physical body

Exercising is still a good way of keeping fit. Chakras, the energy gates need good muscles to open and close. When the chakra is unable to function, the residue, that is produced by negative thought forms and indigestible food consumed by the physical body, jams the gateway and forces the chakra to malfunction. Due to this event, the slow energy residue builds up around the chakra in the form of padding. The rule of likes attract furthers the problem by taking the similar, slow energy from the world around. Going to the gym unwillingly, jumping up and down is not the solution. You might lose weight however, it comes back easily. The best chakra cleansing exercise is spirex. This is the name I created for the spiritual exercise I use during my workshops and seminars. Spirex is a string of slow movements working with the joints mainly, backed up with meditation like, balancing and attitude changing mental exercise. This way you grow to love your pains, your problems and your body. It is always very rewarding to take long, early morning walks, especially around trees. Trees are the lungs of the planet. A healthy tree filters 25 cubic meters of air every day. Most of nature's work is done during the night. That is why the benefit for the physical body is greater in the morning.

With this thought we arrived to a delicate subject in the body maintenance, called sleeping. That’s something we seemingly cannot get enough of. Sleeping is a defence mechanism. When the physical body gets tired of the abuse the human being puts it through, it sends out warnings that it would prefer some peace and quiet for a change. If the human being listens to the warning he may rectify the situation by getting rid of some of the slow energies the body is holding. If not, sleeping is almost inevitable even necessary from time to time. The general sleeping time of the physical body is 6 to 8 hours a day but not more than that. After a longer sleeping time the body needs time to recover and to switch over to being awake. I recommend 5 hours sleep during the night and a 30 minutes nap early afternoon.

Weight and the physical body

Being fat usually comes from some sort of unhappiness. Sometimes, when a chakra is "hurt" by being jammed, it gathers more slow energy to "cushion" itself up as a defence mechanism. The same method is used when the chakra is too open and unable to close when necessary. However, the key to the problem is love. You cannot lose weight without loving yourself truly. As a thought form love produces fast frequency energy that is important to combat the slow ones. To arrive to this love you need to look at yourself unconditionally. You need to see the achievements rather than the failures. Or better still, just love. After that the rest is easy. Happiness produces positive energy and wipes out more and more of the negative ones from your belly, around the waist and hips and wherever you have them. Being overweight is not always the result of the slow energies. Sometimes it is due to genetic inheritance or karma. As far as I know traditional medicine doesn't have the cure for genetic disorders, but there are healers who can deal with genetic related problems. There are people who "suffer" from being skinny. If the body were healthy physically I wouldn’t worry about it much. The same exercise applies as to the overweight sufferers.

Water and the physical body

Another excellent way of getting rid of residue and slow energy is water. It is the only substance that washes out residue and slow energy without producing any in the process. Apart from the cleansing, water has another mission. Since most of our physical body is made of water it needs a refill. If your body cannot get the right amount of water from you, it will remove all fluids from the waste products of the body. Needless to say, waste products contain the slowest energy possible and they are very often poisonous. The lack of fluid in the waste products would lead to a very common and painful disorder called constipation and the equally disliked varicose veins. When the body is dried out beyond quick repair it becomes very unpleasant to drink water. You might feel nauseated and sick. It is because your body got used to the poisonous slow energy it draws from the waste products and lost the capability to take the fast energy you are introducing. In this case careful planning and patience is needed. Water should be introduced slowly in growing dozes. Drink fizzy water if you must, but try to keep off fizzy soft drinks such as Coca cola, Pepsi cola and other orange coloured soft drinks. They are addictive and full of residue. Even if the label says: "no chemicals, no added sugar". Everything in the Universe consists of chemical compounds. So how do they make all those products if not out of chemicals? I suggest you arrive to the 2 litres of water /day stage that you keep for at least 2 weeks. After that your body would be able to tell you how much water is needed to keep it reasonably clean. Plain, still mineral water is the very best for this exercise. The other enemy of a healthy or a "healthy to be" physical body is the "3 Whites". Those are: white wheat flour, white sugar and animal milk. They are difficult to digest. Furthermore their slow energy substance attract other slow energies such as digestive waste products, bind them together as a defence mechanism, causing discomfort and illness. Eating and the physical body There are people on Earth who managed to reduce their food intake to very near none however, generally eating is considered a necessity to existence. Food is the easiest resource of energies. That’s why we need to pay special attention to it. Buying your food is a very important part of the "healthy to be procedure". You definitely don't want to buy your food in a store, supermarket or shop where miserable people are looking back at you. Unhappy people mean bad management and because everything is energy, even thought forms, with the food you take home the part of their misery. That is something one cannot afford to do. The next step you need to watch out for is the origin of the food or drink. By living in a country knowingly or unknowingly you agree to it. You agree to its politics, its social standard, its treatment of people, and its educational system. Well, if you don't agree but still live there, that is even worse. To fight against the general energy surrounding you is a very serious combat for your physical body. So it is better to blend in or leave. It explains why people should eat the product of their own country first of all. And for better or for worse, we generally do just that. Not always for the right reasons though. But, since we cannot live without explanations, we grab whatever is available. The major astronomical movements I mentioned earlier are pushing the human beings to find their true home. It might not be, and very often is not, the country you were born or the one you are currently living in. That is why some people like food from far away countries with a totally different weather and eating habits. If you belong to this category, I suggest, that you look into your life. There are numerous food products available from more than one country. As the product carries the general energy of the country try to choose accordingly. Suffering, corruption, bad deeds, bullying home and foreign policies put their stamp on the imported products.

Vegetarian or not?

It is getting more and more fashionable to be a vegetarian. But is it good for us? Does it make any difference to our existence? The vegetation is the most advanced form of life on Earth, holistically. With their roots they feed on the slow but warm, healing energy of the soil while taking the much faster, white energy of the heavens. Unless been poisoned or maltreated by human beings the vegetation carries the most suitable nutrition for the physical body to fit into the energy concept of the Solar System. So becoming a vegetarian is a very essential part of the physical and spiritual enlightenment of a New Age person. I'd like to emphasize the word "becoming" here. It is a gradual development rather than a switching. There is no use force-feeding us with greens while dreaming about a juicy steak. The body has to arrive to the stage mentally and physically where it can open up to the light without pain. Free of misconceptions and vanity. In my healing practice I meet a lot of people who are having physical problems because they stopped eating meat without being physically ready for it. Sending them back to meat eating could do the trick, but it doesn't feel right. Instead I teach them ways of cleansing they are able to practice at home without me. This way the physical body gradually loses the residues and opens up the doorways necessary to welcome new eating habits. Eating habits and the stars "It is known to us that every human being belongs to a certain star sign or zodiac according to the day of birth. It is also understood that a certain planet rules every zodiac. Apart from human beings, these planets also influence other forms of life on Earth. Live forms like vegetation and animals, in one word, live forms that we feed on take the essential energy from these planets. Being a clairvoyant and healer, I have always been fascinated by the eating habits of human beings. After long years of amusement I arrived to the conclusion that human beings been born under the same zodiac have very similar eating habits. Furthermore they prefer food that is ruled by the same planet as they are. It seems very simple and obvious now since the influence of the same planet means that their energy is highly compatible. My description of people, their behaviour pattern and eating habits are general for the minor planetary influence and the karmic inheritance differ with everybody. Also many of us are still searching for the true self. With those thoughts we arrived to the theme of my cookbook. I chose and put my recipes together to fit the planetary requirements and eating habits of each star sign."
