You can also ask Michael to help free you from <strong>addictions and destructive habits</strong> (substance abuse, relationships, negative thought/emotional patterns etc.)<br /><br />Michael will instill you with a sense of <strong>confidence and self-worth</strong> so you can stay <strong>focused</strong>, <strong>motivated </strong>and <strong>move towards your goals more easily</strong>. He can also remove <strong>attached entities</strong> that may be causing interference in your energy field and leading you away from your life purpose.<br /><br />Below is a meditation you can do to invoke Archangel Michael to help <strong>cut ties</strong>, <strong>clean out negative energy debris</strong>, and <strong>motivate and inspire you</strong>...</div>  <div class="wsite-spacer" style="height:10px;"></div>  <div class="wsite-spacer" style="height:13px;"></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong><font size="5">Meditation</font></strong></div>  <div class="paragraph">Find a <strong>comfortable sitting or standing position.</strong><br /><br />Feel your feet on the floor and visualise your <strong>energy going down into the earth </strong>to ground yourself.<br /><br />Say out loud, or in your head, some words of invocation to Archangel Michael - perhaps something like <strong>"I call on the presence of the Archangel Michael to be with now" </strong>or choose whatever words feel comfortable to you. As you say the words you may want to feel them coming from your <strong>heart centre</strong> (at the centre of your chest).<br /><br />Upon invoking Michael you may feel a <strong>warmth around your chest</strong> or see a <strong>gold or blue coloured glow</strong> around you. Michael has a very <strong>reassuring presence</strong> so you might also suddenly feel a lot calmer and relaxed.<br /><br />This meditation has <strong>3 parts</strong>:<br /><br /><strong>Part 1</strong>- <strong>Cutting Cords</strong><br /><br />Ask Michael to come forward and <strong>cut etheric ties</strong> with all substances, mental and emotional patterns, relationships, people and situations that do not serve your highest good.<br /><br />You can also ask Michael to cut ties and remove from your aura any <strong>attached entities</strong> that may be subtly manipulating your thoughts and emotions and/or feeding off your energy field.<br /><br />During this first part of the meditation you may want to <strong>visualise cords extending from your body/aura</strong> and then see/feel them being cut or "pruned" like a gardening cutting back an overgrown hedge.<br /><br />After this first part of the meditation you should feel a bit <strong>lighter, cleaner and less burdened</strong>, almost as if weeds have been pulled form you energy field.<br /><br />Spend between <strong>2-5 mins</strong> in this part of the meditation or for as long as you feel comfortable or guided (same time span applies to the following parts)<br /><br /><br /><strong>Part 2 </strong>- <strong>Cleansing</strong><br /><br />Interactions with these <strong>toxic energies</strong> can build up over time and get clogged in your body/aura.<br /><br />In this second part of the meditation ask Michael to <strong>energetically "vacuum"</strong> the old energy debris from your field so that you can see, feel and think more clearly again.<br /><br />You may want to visualise a channel of white light literally <strong>pulling the old energy out of your system</strong> leaving you feeling lighter, fresher and cleaner than before.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Part 3 </strong>- <strong>Revitalising and Replenishing</strong>&nbsp;<br /><br />In the final part of the meditation ask Michael to fill your energy field with <strong>fresh, new, inspiring</strong> and <strong>motivating energy</strong>.<br /><br />Visualise <strong>white, blue or gold energy</strong> flowing down through the top of your head and filling your body and energy field.<br /><br />Feel yourself being <strong>fortified, replenished and regenerated</strong> by this in-flow of energy. Allow the energy to flow down and expand pushing out any residual debris.<br /><br />At this point you can ask Michael to <strong>guide, motivate and inspire</strong> you towards your purpose in life and to protect you from anyone or anything that could potentially lead you away from your true path.<br /><br />When the meditation is complete thank Michael for his <strong>energy and support</strong> and ask that his presence remain in your awareness as you move forward.</div>  <div><div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div> <hr class="styled-hr" style="width:100%;"></hr> <div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong><font size="4">Meditation Questions</font></strong><br /><br /><span><strong>Q:</strong> By calling on Michael's help am I diverting his energy away from more&nbsp;</span>important matters?<br />&#8203;<br /><strong>A:</strong>&nbsp;Like all archangels Michael is an omnipresent (existing everywhere) and inexhaustible extension of Source energy. You can call on him any number of times in any situation without depleting his energy in any way.<br /><br /><strong>Q:</strong> In what circumstances or situations is it good to do this meditation?<br /><br /><strong>A:</strong> You can do this meditation as often as you like - every day even. Michael is a great angel to work with because he knows your soul path and can give you the strength, courage and motivation to follow your true path.<br /><br />Specific situations where this meditation is particularly useful is if you feel you're in stuck in a toxic or negative environment whether that be a relationship, a job, a living environment, or if you're struggling with an addiction of some kind.<br /><br />This meditation can help break the often unconscious ties and mental/emotional energy that bind us to negative situations and keep us trapped. By instilling a sense of purpose, self-confidence and self-worth this angel meditation can give the courage and guidance needed to make necessary changes that can lead to more preferable, soul-aligned outcomes.<br /><br />(If you have any further questions please post them in the comments below...)</div>  <div><div style="height: 20px;

They are also biogenic &ndash; meaning they transfer their life energy directly to you. <br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  When the sprout seeds are sprouted their plant hormones are activated, their starches are broken down into easily assimilated vegetable sugars, their proteins are broken down into easily assimilated amino acids, and their fats are broken down into soluble fatty acids.<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  Sprouts are alkalising, life-generating, revitalising, and full of energy, and I simply can&rsquo;t recommend them highly enough.<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  You can buy sprouts already grown from the shop, but I think it&rsquo;s much better to maintain a home-grown crop.<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  A.Vogel make a really good sprouting &ldquo;greenhouse&rdquo; in which you can grow your own sprouts at home. They also do a really good selection of seed mixes. Depending on the seed mix you use the sprouts will take about 3-5 days to grow. All you have to do is put the seeds on the sprouting tray and pour water through the greenhouse twice a day. Then once they&rsquo;ve grown pluck them from the tray and store them in your fridge (they&rsquo;ll keep for a few days).<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  I started off with a single greenhouse and would sprinkle the sprouts on top of my meals, but when I realised the healing and energising power of the sprouts I quickly invested in a second greenhouse and promoted the sprouts from garnish/topping status right up to diet-staple level.<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  With 2 greenhouses on the go you&rsquo;ll have enough sprouts to live on like a cow lives on grass! Don&rsquo;t worry if you don&rsquo;t eat them all either. You can blend the excess sprouts into soups and sauces and smoothies, or give them/sell them to friends (and it&rsquo;s always better to have too much than not enough).<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  The seed mixes I&rsquo;m particularly fond of and recommend are (from the A. Vogel range): Fitness Mix, Strong Aromatic Mix, Mild Aromatic Mix and Broccoli. All of these will take just 3 days to come through, except for broccoli which takes 5. <br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  The A. Vogel greenhouses I use have 3-tiers so what I like to do is plant a new crop each day (i.e. have a 24 hour lag behind each tray) and that way I have a fresh harvest on rotation every day. <br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span>  You can get these sprouters (a.k.a. germinators) online and they&rsquo;re less than &pound;20 each including delivery. The seed packets are just over &pound;1 each and contain about a tray-and-half of seeds. By growing 2 trays simultaneously I get though about 10 seed packs per week which costs about &pound;10 - &pound;12 which, when you look at the price of a lot of organic produce in the shops, I believe is very good value especially when you take into account the home-grown organic freshness and the high level of quality nutrients involved.<br /><span style=""></span>  </div>  <div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class='wsite-multicol-table-wrap' style='margin:0 -15px'> <table class='wsite-multicol-table'> <tbody class='wsite-multicol-tbody'> <tr class='wsite-multicol-tr'> <td class='wsite-multicol-col' style='width:40.634005763689%;padding:0 15px'>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.awakeningconsciousnessblog.com/uploads/1/2/7/5/1275321/9399052.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:100%;max-width:300px" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  </td> <td class='wsite-multicol-col' style='width:59.365994236311%;padding:0 15px'>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a title="" href="http://www.avogel.co.uk/sprouts-biosnacky/seed-sprouter/"><font color="#000000" size="4"><strong>Shopping Links:</strong></font><br /><br /><span></span><u><strong>A.

I've posted the rough transcript of it up here along with a few inpirational videos to illustrate the ideas. Enjoy:<br /><br />Tom you can be anything you want to be, but you have to choose in advance what you want and then start work on cultivating the belief that that&rsquo;s what you are.<br /><br />A lot of people try to achieve in order to believe. To take a topical example, an athlete might think: If I win this gold medal then I'm great. But this isn&rsquo;t the attitude of a champion. It&rsquo;s not the right attitude for getting the medal. The attitude of the champion is to believe in your greatness and worthiness of the medal in advance. This is the real training. It comes from the foundation of this strong positive mind-set.<br /><br />Look at Usain Bolt. His mind-set has been grown to the point he has enough energy and strength of belief for the race to be won before he&rsquo;s even set foot on the track. He has decided in advance that he&rsquo;s going to be the winner of the race, and he believes it. That&rsquo;s why he looks so calm and relaxed before each race. He&rsquo;s ready. He&rsquo;s won it already in his mind and he&rsquo;s just turning up to collect his prize.</div>  <div class="wsite-youtube" style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><object width="500" height="412"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/diLkeaMbbMU?version=3"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/diLkeaMbbMU?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="500" height="412"></embed></object></div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Same with probably one of the greatest champions in sport, Mohamed Ali.  The bulk of his work was of the training of his mind to build an  unerring belief that he was the greatest.&nbsp; That doesn&rsquo;t mean there&rsquo;s no  physical training to get up to world champion-level, of course there is,  but that training is backed by conviction of belief. Belief is coming  first. Always first.</div>  <div class="wsite-youtube" style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><object width="500" height="412"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bkZBxVsQZRE?version=3"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bkZBxVsQZRE?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="500" height="412"></embed></object></div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The mind is really very powerful. Far more powerful that the physical  body. If the mind believes it can do something then seas can be parted  and mountains can be moved. If you believe you might win the race, or  that you could possibly win the race then that will be the case: uncertainty. <br /><br />  But  again, this belief needs to be built in advance. It need to be grown,  which takes time and a persistent input of energy and focus.<br /><br />   Beliefs need to be cultivated. Just saying I&rsquo;m the greatest at this  that or the other doesn&rsquo;t immediately make it so. This thoughts and  goals have to be fed until they have some genuine emotion behind them.  Because it&rsquo;s that emotion, that realness, that creates the outward  experience of greatness. <br /><br />   You can start making a change in your belief system today. The first  thing to understand is that we all choose what we think. Sometimes it  seems that thoughts choose us, but these are just ingrained patterns of  thought that have gathered momentum and/or ingrained themselves over the  years.<br /><br />  At any  point in time you can catch what you&rsquo;re thinking and direct your mental  attention towards something else. This is mental focus. And it&rsquo;s very  important if you want to create your life as you want it because we  always become what we think we are. Always.<br /><br />   &ldquo;But how do I know what to think? I don&rsquo;t know what&rsquo;s right for me,  I&rsquo;m confused, I&rsquo;m lost,&rdquo; some people say. &ldquo;What should I do?&rdquo;. And this  is where emotional guidance comes in. Your emotional body will tell you  if you&rsquo;re heading in the right direction. If you&rsquo;re feeling right then  you&rsquo;re thinking right, and if you&rsquo;re thinking right then you&rsquo;re heading  towards your goal of the life and experiences you want. Hence the adage  &ldquo;Follow your heart&rdquo;. <span></span>The heart <em style="">knows</em> what&rsquo;s right. The  mind gets confused and lost in its own games and fantasies. The heart  is real and never lies. So get in touch with this centre and listen.  Then, once you know where you&rsquo;re heading start reorganising the mind to  focus its attention on the realisation of that goal.<br /><br />   You may have to do some work to clean out and let go of some old,  limiting belief systems and thought patterns that may be lodged in  you consciousness, and at times this process can be challenging. You have  to be honest with yourself, and this can sometimes be hard. But if it  clears the way for better, more fulfilling life then it&rsquo;s got to be  worth it.<br /><br />  I&rsquo;m gonna  put up another post showing you how you can start focusing your mind and  building on a firm foundation the belief system that&rsquo;s right for you.  But in the meantime I&rsquo;ll leave you in the capable hands of Jay-Z  (cos I know you love the hip-hop &lsquo;n&rsquo; rap) as he muses on the importance  of incorporating and maintaining a positive state of mind :0<br /><br />  Peace out :-&gt;</div>  <div class="wsite-youtube" style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><object width="500" height="412"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0UjsXo9l6I8?version=3"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0UjsXo9l6I8?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="500" height="412"></embed></object></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
