Nature Spirits

Nature Spirits

The indigenous peoples have always believed that nature spirits inhabited the Earth. These spirits inhabit mountains, lakes, trees, etc and have different forms and roles to suit each case. More modern societies named these spirits as Fairies, Gnomes, Elves, Brownies or even Leprechauns. The ancient writings suggest that, although living in a higher plane than the physical, these nature spirits (or Elementals) are at a low level of spiritual evolution and have no will of their own. They act as the architects/builders of nature as we know it, under direction from a higher level. Their next stage of progression is to manifest as inert matter – rocks etc. – before, over eons of time, evolving through the plant, animal and human kingdoms.

An article on Forgiveness Pt 1

An article on Forgiveness from the Kumara Meditation & Healing Centre

The problem about working with forgiveness is that it is a painful process as we discover just how locked away is the pain of our heart.  We try to work with this facet of ourselves but sometimes the pain becomes so much we just can’t cope and so we walk away.  Then we spend the next few days, weeks, months  trying to forgive ourselves for not being able to work with forgiveness!

This is the conundrum of working with emotions, especially one as potent as this.

However, forgiveness is not just needed on a personal level, it is something that would help this planet if it became a global characteristic. Perhaps, it should be looked at by all of humanity as a divine attribute that is definitely lacking within humans.

The Energy Body and the Angels and our Sun Part 2

April 5th, 2011 by Liz McCaughey

It has been mentioned before that the etheric body is the ‘web’ that keeps the physical-being separate from the inner worlds. That is until the person is ‘evolved’ enough to transit between the two regions with ease.  If it was not for the etheric body, a person would be walking in the two worlds at the same time and for the un-evolved soul this would be a very frightening event.  Imagine if you had no knowledge of the the inner worlds and its ghostly inhabitants and yet you could see it all with your physical eye.  It would be a terrifying experience and, indeed, it is believed this sort of phenomena has been felt by ‘drug users’ with terrible psychotic results.

So, the etheric body is like a defence mechanism and a very essential element for the seeker on the wisdom path. Just as we have to care for our physical body, now you start to appreciate why we also have to really take care of the etheric double through subtler practices of meditation, faith and connection to the Masters and the Angelic realm.

The Energy Body and the Angels and our Sun Part 1

The Energy Body and the Angels and our Sun Part 1

One of the most potent forms of prana that the etheric body receives is the energy from the sun’s rays, termed in Theosophy (Alice Bailey’s – Treatise of Cosmic Fire) as “solar pranic emanations”. To understand the effect that the sun’s rays have on us requires a deeper understanding of the rays and their emanations. There are three main channels of contact which have differing effects on the bodies that they reach. Generally, the effects are good and provide nourishment for our cells and physical bodies. These rays are not part of the building of the form, that is left to the Angelic realm. But, the rays help to preserve the form and its component parts through nourishment from solar prana. We are not going to go into detail about the other rays from the sun but, for your information, some rays act as destroyers and others as preservers. This subject is a deeper study for another time. The rays we are going to focus on are ‘pranic solar emanations’, which work within the four ethers of the physical plane of existence. The 4-ethers are not visible but they are the basis of all physical life on this plane of existence. The heat from this solar emanation works directly with life on the physical plane, with the atoms of matter, and the energy wheels or chakras. To be continued…..

Energy Body & Archangels

March 15th, 2011 by Liz McCaughey

Energy Body in relation to Angelic Kingdom

We cannot see our energy bodies but it is there and we have to look after it with energy healing (Pranic Healing), fresh air, good food, meditation and other spiritual practises. If we ignore our energy bodies – we ignore our own well-being.

So the question is – what does ‘energy’ mean to us on a spiritual level? How did this talk of energy come about and where are we, as physical humans, in this big picture?  Certainly, we regard ourselves as at the top of the food chain in day-to day life, but beyond our physical existence where exactly do we fit in?

Is it possible that just as we have an energy body that surrounds us, but which most people can’t see, there may be energy beings that are all around us, which we also cannot see?

These Beings are referred to as the the Archangels and Angels that we know from folklore and fantasy.  However, these beings help us live on this planet and when we live within the Laws of Nature, everything is harmonious, but when we do not then disharmony and chaos reigns.  It is not unlike the human psyche – when we are living peacefully, life tends to go well, but when we are in fear or anger, we really start having a ‘bad hair day’.

There are a number of levels within the Angelic hierarchy from the Archangels, Angels down to the Nature Spirits.

The Archangels

These beings do not have free choice as humans have.  They are very involved with the evolution of planet earth and are the Creator’s messengers.  Their primary role is to assist Life on this planet. So, the Builders of the Mineral/Earth kingdoms are the Archangels and their angel hosts including the Sylphs of ground and Air.

This mundane work is carried forth instinctively by:

Nature spirits of Earth - Gnomes and brownies

Nature spirits of Air - Fairy and Sylph.

Vibration is a major part of this process.  The ‘affinity of vibration’ draws the particular hierarchy into the appropriate field of work as form-builders in what Theosophical teachings refer to as the 4 kingdoms of Nature; Mineral-Vegetable-Animal-Human. It is not a random process it is done very precisely.  Just as the formation of the human baby from a seed is really beyond our understanding, so is this formation of the planet from a vibration.  However, there can be no mistakes, just as a wrong cell can have a devastating affect on a child, the formation of a planet requires even more expertise from the Builders and Architects.

Appreciating that these beings are all around us, working tirelessly to bring balance and harmony to the planet may, in the future, make us connect with them energetically, the next time we choose to hug a tree.

So, perhaps it is time to stop ignoring these energy beings who provide us with a place to live and food to eat, through their tireless work with nature and the planet.  We may not be able to see them, but if we believe they are there maybe we need to start saying a silent ‘Thankyou’, when you are walking in nature and ‘something’ flips past your peripheral vision.  Just as humans like to be acknowledged and not ignored – these beings are no different.
