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

The Spiritual Journal

January 18, 2013January 18, 2013 / soulinteraction / 1 Comment

I’ve done a few posts on journaling, but I really don’t think it is something that can be overstated… journal are one of the most powerful spiritual tools that we have access to. Journals are places we can catch our thoughts, our moments of gratitude, our struggles, our fears, and whatever else our soul desires. Journaling allows us to engage in self-reflection. There really are not any rules or right/wrong ways to journal, but I would propose on rule- Don’t hold back!

There are times we begin to go beneath the surface. We scratch through one layer of our life experience and then we go a bit deeper, then we become afraid of what we will find when we go all the way through… We become trapped in that middle layer, and that creates stagnation. We have to push deeper, and this can be a lonely process for many of us. Journals are companions that we can access without judgement. We can dive deeper into our psyche and it holds our memories in spaces that allow us to access when we are ready. Diving below the surface of our lives allows us to gain insight.

Many newbie spiritual practitioners always ask me how to hone their psychic skills… Journal your spiritual experiences Too often we have profound moments and we forget to capture them. When we take the time to journal the experience we can go back to it, learn from it, and evolve it. Write down the readings that you are doing for yourself, write down the insights gained in that meditation you just completed, and capture inspirations as they occur to you through the day. Magickal practitioners often create a “Book of Shadows” to capture their spellwork, lessons, and thing relating to their spiritual path work. Many in the new age community could really learn from this. I would encourage everyone to keep an ongoing psychic journal, dream journal and life experience journal. Do a google search for “keeping a book of shadows“, and read up.. add what works, leave what doesn’t.

There are a lot of people who prefer to use electronic journal (online, voice recorder, laptop, etc), but I prefer good ol’ pen and paper. There is something about putting pen to paper. It slows us down, it allows us to be a bit more tangible with our journaling. I also carry a smaller journal in my back pocket for those on the go inspirations that tend to grab me in my randomness.

If you have not started a journal, I would encourage you to start today. Allow it to be a traveling companion, take it through your day. Walk with it. Capture whatever inspires you.

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

Creating Sacred Space

October 3, 2012October 3, 2012 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

There are times when I feel that I need to escape the world around me. The busy energy of the year, the technology that expands and binds, the hurried energy of time. Having a place to breathe is just as important as the action of breathing.

What is sacred space?

Sacred space can be any place where you decide to meet the divine. Sacred space can also be that place deep within your being that holds your energy and light. Sacred space is the rest stop on our busy highways.

Sacred space can be a room, a park, a bench, etc. I typically have a few different places that I can duck into around my work place that I can retreat to for a bit to find balance. There is a wonderful fountain, and I sit and watch the water. Just being present in that space makes it sacred.

If you are at home, you can make your space sacred by adding statues, incense, or whatever else connects you to your divine self. Invite the divine into this space with you. Allow yourself to be creative, even if you don’t have a lot of space you can still created a sacred corner. When I first started connecting to my higher vibrations, I used an old shoe box with a bandana on it as my altar. I had a few candles, a couple of stones, and my tarot deck. Sacred space is uniquely yours.

Mentally you can also create sacred spaces. Visualizing a harmonious environment, seeing temple, or entering into the void can bring peace both internally and externally.

Where do you find sacred space? What is sacred space to you?
