Becoming self-aware is part of spiritual exploration. In every walk of life we look at the relationships outside of ourselves to acknowledge who we are. We make connections in families, friendships, and work colleagues and of course our close relationships. Yet we have probably never been taught to consciously look at our relationship with self.
It is so important to understand self before we can understand our interactions fully with others. However, as always, there are layers here. We can explore our understanding of self on many different levels but the one that really brings wonderful rewards is going deep to understand our signature energy, our seed energy. Who we are at the very core of ourselves and how we can bring that essence forward to understand our full power within and utilise this in our everyday life?
I come, like many, from a viewpoint that we are spirit in a physical body, a vessel going through the experiences of life interacting with many other souls along the way. We often venture out to many points of the world to seek a purpose for our being here which in itself can be a rich and rewarding experience yet the self we seek to find is always within us, already coded into our unique being, with us all the time.
Our authentic, true, self, was coded before we came to this Earth. It is seed energy, a coding within our DNA (all twelve strands, science is catching up and has early evidence there may be 12!) of who we are, our unique essence like no one else on Earth.
The purpose of our soul is twofold yet part one has three interlinked parts. The first part is to find your gift (self-awareness), the second to develop it, (growth) and the third to give it away to the world (service). That is the individual purpose.
The second part is then to take this heightened awareness of self to the world expressing your seed energy, signature essence, unique self and with that amplified awareness raise other souls in community and cooperation to encourage the same process in them. This is the collective purpose.
It sounds simple but not necessarily easy. Finding our strengths and gifts can be tricky, you may know them but keep them hidden not wanting to bring too much attention to self. There may be fear of seeming arrogant or boastful or worry of being shouted down.
Or you may just have talents which are not usually seen as such in society. Consider though, they may be just what the world needs! Our gifts are there we just have to access them. This may mean we have to think from a broader perspective, look at what we truly are, not what we have been trained to be through our various social environments.
Everyone has this wonderful body of trillions of cells, cells that are full of energy, we are all essentially energy, and we have several systems supporting that body, the skeletal, lymphatic, endocrine and cardiovascular and many more.
We also have an energy anatomy made up of our chakras, meridians and aura and we have mind, our conscious and sub conscious mind also connected to Universal Mind sometimes called super conscious mind.
We have an over soul or higher self which is made up of all our soul aspects. When we come to Earth we choose which aspects of our soul this particular personality needs and then nature takes its course with meticulous precision coding all that is needed abiding by all the natural spiritual laws to allow our unique soul access to all that is on Earth for the self-awareness, growth and service parts to evolve. All of this makes up SELF.
It is indeed a creative miracle and if we just stop for a moment and think about just how amazing that process is and all the opportunities it gives us then life will never be limited again! We are living miracles each with unique seed energy and that is important to raise the vibration of the whole world. When you are truly in alignment with that SELF then you will be vibrating at your best and your energy will ripple to the next person and entrain them to be better too and on it goes.
Now, what we choose to do with that opportunity in line with our authentic energy, well that’s about conscious choice (please see my article in the last issue on this subject).
To help find this connection to seed energy this meditation can help.
Visualise a large seed, sunflower seed shape in between your heart and solar plexus chakras, think BIG seed, and imagine white light coming down from the crown chakra through the third eye chakra, to the heart chakra into this seed. See it expanding as white silvery light and then sit with it and see how it feels.
Repeat it each day for as long as it takes to really feel that energy. It can be a few minutes or longer. See what comes to you in those moments; perhaps write down any thoughts that come to you, you are getting to know SELF and feeling the light and love that is your seed energy being.
Then be consciously aware in your life. Allow your decisions to be yours …forget ‘I should be doing’ or ‘have to do’ because someone expects.
Begin to ask yourself some questions about who you want to be in the world. Then bring both sides of your mind in action, the one with the ideas and the one with the will to do it.
Authentic self, true self is about you fully connecting to the energy that is already you. Then taking that energy and using it in the physical world balancing it with the mind and emotions to reveal the true you to the world and do your bit as you.
It is about acceptance, letting go, being brave, just choosing one day “I’m going to be me and do it my way” It’s freeing even though sometimes “becoming me” isn’t easy, once we align with our seed energy, who we feel we truly are, then there is peace and space, the space to love everyone else in our lives and let them be who they are too. Then we can do away with labels and expectations and just be known as our true, authentic self.
This true self is connected to Source energy from which we came and as we all came from that energy we are connected to each other. So our seed energy is about light and love just as the spiritual Law of Polarity says, of the same substance just in different degrees.
The light and love that is our true energetic self is in there within us. Your SELF is good enough, it is more than you believe, it is valuable, needed and now is the perfect time to express authentic you, right now, in this moment. Be brave and be your SELF.
