Why People Gain Weight or Have Smoking Addiction - 8/3/05

The Metaphysical Reason for Weight Gain

There are a lot of metaphysical reasons why people gain weight, some of which I've stumbled upon in my own healing practice. It's one of many areas I'm continually researching.

There are little elementals called overeating elementals who can take up residence in the solar plexus area. Once you have a thick coating of these going on, your cravings for food (especially food that will cause you to gain weight) intensify. By energizing this area with a color called electric violet (deep violet with gold sparklies running through it,) you can expel these elementals, and you'll notice your cravings starting to fade. If you've been overweight for many years, you may need to do this energy treatment for several months, several times a week. For long-term, life-long problems, you usually need complete healing and repair of the solar plexus and adrenal chakras (mini-chakras which sit over the adrenal glands.) Holes or rips in these chakras allow these elementals to come in in the first place.

The Spiritual Reason for Smoking Addiction

A smoking addiction operates in a similar way in the body. Smoking elementals are these little curly critters that hang out mostly in the throat chakra. With a thick coating of these, you'll have troubles beating that smoking habit. Again, energizing the area with electric violet will expel the critters and start clearing out your desire for smoking. It can take many treatments for a lifelong smoker.

There are also other issues involved for a smoker, because often the person has had lifetimes in which smoking tobacco was a holy act, a method of connecting with the spiritual realm. Native Americans and people who have had lifetimes as Native Americans can feel an especially strong pull toward tobacco, and it's less of a physical reason for them and more of a metaphysical yearning.

Tobacco is a sacred herb which helps people connect with the realm of spiritual guides, angels, and deceased loved ones. When a person smokes, their energy field goes through a very specific series of astral shifts. Think of this as like a combination lock that gets opened in a certain way. This process of opening can help the person access the psychic side of their nature and engage more fully in contact with God/Goddess/Great Spirit in its many manifestations.

Tobacco in itself is a good thing, a marvelous herbal tool Nature has given us to help us to activate our psychic side. The problem is that we can start to crave the wonderful feelings that tobacco gives us when our energy field shifts, to the point where we want to feel this all the time. That's where addiction sets in. Lifelong smokers have energy fields that are out of balance because this psychic switch is always "on," and eventually, the energy system of the body can't handle this. The body isn't meant to be in this psychically heightened state all of the time. So other illnesses can creep in the longer a person stays out of balance.

Periodic, conscious, and intentional use of tobacco for sacred ceremonies is a blessed thing.

Trying to maintain that state all the time, through regular smoking, however, isn't good. Your body will be on overdrive from the energy shifts it's going through all the time, and eventually, you'll have health problems because of it.

The smoking elementals that can take up residence at the throat don't show up if someone just uses tobacco periodically as part of their spiritual practice. They do show up, however, as soon as you start smoking on a regular basis. These little smoking elementals also hang out in smoke-filled rooms, cigar bars, and they sit on ashtrays! If you've ever been "icked out" by an ashtray when you sat down at a bar and a full one was sitting right there in front of you, you'll know what I mean! Clairvoyants like me will see these little squirmy grey things crawling all over the ashtray. They look very much like physical parasites look under a microscope. It's all the same energy.

The main key is that anything done to EXCESS -- i.e. drinking, smoking, overeating -- creates problems in the body and starts manifesting as imbalance in the chakras. Over time, the chakras degrade and get cracks and holes in them, and then the elementals start coming in for a feeding frenzy. They are there to feed off the energy of the chakra, which is already weakened. So it's important to learn how to banish these parasites from your body. We all get elementals in our bodies and energy fields, depending on the environment we spend time in and the habits we engage in. So learning how to clear out our auric fields and physical bodies of these parasitic energies becomes a key component of maintaining physical and emotional health.

Pranic Healing and Color Energy Work

A teacher named Master Choa Kok Sui teaches a technique called pranic healing, and he mentions the treatment for smoking in his pranic psychotherapy class. He has many teachers who teach pranic healing around the world. Pranic healing is all about learning how to bring different colored energy through your hands and directing this energy outwards to heal and clear people out on both a metaphysical and physical level.

It really works. You can use these techniques on yourself, too. We use them all the time to bring down a fever, banish colds, heal cuts or abrasions, get rid of stomach aches, you name it.

Many other healers are also pioneering working with the healing power of color. This information seems to be spreading across the planet, and healers from many backgrounds are discovering this amazing information. You may want to check out my friend Alijandra's work. She's written a wonderful book, Healing with the Rainbow Rays, and she was the subject of my guest interview in December. She has developed her own technique for healing with color, which she outlines in her book and on her website.

I don't believe Choa Kok Sui teaches the treatment for overeating in his pranic psychotherapy class. My partner and I were given that information in our work, which is a synergistic combination of direct spiritual "download," energy work based on some of the principles used in pranic healing, and shamanic techniques.

How to Heal Yourself of Food Cravings or Smoking Addiction

Anyone can learn to bring the color of electric violet down into their hands. Here's what you do.

#1) Invoke your idea of God/Goddess/A Higher Power/the angels/etc. Ask for their help. Ask them to help you to attune to the healing color vibration of electric violet.

#2) State your intention for this healing (ridding yourself of smoking or eating addiction.) A clear intention helps to focus and intensify the results of the healing.

#3) Start breathing in the color of electric violet. Some people will feel this energy just light up in their hands. Others may bring it down through the crown chakra (I don't recommend this, though. Electric violet is extremely powerful and can make you a bit dizzy if you bring it down through your upper chakras. It's best just to visualize this energy coming into your hands.) If you're a Reiki practitioner or someone who already knows that they have "healing hands," you'll definitely feel your hands charge up right away. You'll feel them get warm and you'll sense the loving, powerful properties of electric violet. For those unfamiliar with energy work, you may have to meditate for a while until you feel you're in the "zone."

#4) Then use the palm of your hands to beam this violet energy at the area that is affected (throat chakra for smoking; solar plexus and adrenals for overeating.) Depending on how powerful you are with energy work, you won't want to do this for long. Just a two minute "squirt" will do! Visualize the elementals on that chakra clearing out and being taking off to the light by your angels and spiritual guides.

#5) Remember to ask that your angels and spiritual helpers clear out all the debris, removing the parasitic energy from your space -- otherwise that stuff will still be around you in a cloud and could later reenter your auric field and chakras.

You also want to pray that all of the accompanying thoughtforms and emotions (which are the "glue" that holds these elementals in the chakra) be removed. That part consists of all of your mind patterns, emotional loops, and negative mental programs which draw these elementals to you. You'll want those removed, too.

It's equally as important to treat both the physical part (these elementals in the chakra, which are parasites) and the mental/emotional part (the thoughtforms and emotional patterns which need to be released.)

#6) Notice any effects you feel. If you're doing this on yourself, you may want to lie down as you do this work, because electric violet is an intense purgative color, the "exorcism" color. (You can also use it to clear a room out of discarnates or negative beings. This will be covered more in my forthcoming ebook, The High Spirits Handbook: How to Banish Bad Vibes for Good.

#7) Sit with the energy as God/Goddess/Great Spirit and your spiritual helpers clear you out. If you fall asleep, that's okay.

#8) Remember to give thanks to that Higher Power afterwards and to close down the healing circle. Many people forget to do this. Healing sessions always work best when you invoke the help of that Higher Power at the beginning and then give thanks and close off that energy at the end of a session, otherwise you can go around feeling trippy or out-of-body because of all that higher dimensional energy still zipping around.

And that's it!

I should add that pranic healing teaches a method of "sweeping" out the affected chakra or body part with the edge of your palm, or you can use a crystal to suck out the debris, but I can't really show you that here without illustrations. But you can check out pranic healing books in bookstores or search for more info online. The main site for Choa's pranic healing information is: http://www.pranichealing.com

I will add one disclaimer, however. While Choa's teachers who teach under him are lovely people, the two times I attended events with Choa himself, I encountered many disruptive and distressing effects in his energy field.

I won't go into it all here, but I will say that what emerged from this was this spiritual download from my own higher guidance: the information I received psychically was that Choa is like many healers on the planet right now. He's not a perfect person (neither am I -- neither is any healer.) And bringing the technique of pranic healing to the world has been part of his "spiritual correction," an essential part of his spiritual path, a way of mitigating past stuff he may have been involved with in ancient Atlantis.

I won't go into further details, because this is all just stuff I've personally discerned, and I don't mean to discredit this gifted man who has done a lot of good in the world. And I can personally vouch that you can take a few pranic healing courses from Choa's various sub-teachers and learn life-changing techniques that you can instantly implement in a practical way, helping your physical and emotional health.

(Just maybe, though, you don't want to hang out with the pranic healing crowd all the time. I'm whispering this part. You didn't hear me say nothin'!)

Fluoride As Another Cause for Obesity

I want to mention another developing area of research, and it's one we should all be watching. I received a spiritual download some time back about a terrible connection between fluoride and metabolic problems. As I discerned more, I was given the information that fluoride has many negative effects on the body, but perhaps the worst one is that it shuts down the thyroid gland. Now medical evidence is surfacing that verifies this.

The thyroid gland, you may recall, is the gland which controls our body's metabolism. The thyroid gland is in charge of maintaining a normal weight.

What has been added to all public water relatively recently in our nation's history? Fluoride. And what is suddenly an epidemic among almost all ages of the population here in the US? Obesity.

I have personally observed many, many people in close living situations who are overweight who simply don't eat very much. They may not be gym addicts who work out all the time, but they certainly do chores and are normal, active people - yet they don't lose weight. And they're not eating very much at all.

I especially remember one friend I had in high school who I knew very well. The poor thing was perennially chubby, even when she spent years on a strict Weight Watchers dietary program and consistently exercised at a strenuous aerobics program. When we had gym class together, it was clear she was in much better cardiovascular shape than I was, because she could run like the dickens when we played soccer while skinny giraffe me simply huffed and puffed.

So why did she never, ever lose any weight? She was doing all the right things, eating healthily, being mindful of her calories yet not going to extremes, exercising with great dedication. And she spent evenings and weekends standing on her feet working at a local hardware store, so she wasn't a couch potato during her off time, either.

Well, our town, like most in America, had fluoridated water. I wonder how many young people's thyroids just shut down from the fluoride, destroying people's chances of ever maintaining a normal weight. I knew another boy since elementary school who was very similar to my girl friend. He started dieting in an effort to lose some weight at the age of ten, without going to extremes, and maintained similar habits as my girl friend with exercising, eating right, etc. Yet he never lost any weight.

These kids weren't resorting to starvation, which was good, because so many people starve themselves when they want to lose weight. This creates such havoc with your metabolism, causing lifelong problems. These people were eating properly and exercising and reducing their caloric intake - to no avail. I felt so bad for both of them because kids can be so cruel to overweight kids, and their self-esteem must have taken a terrible knock throughout their school years. And they were both really nice people, too, sweet and smart.

Here is an article which goes into some of the medical research about how fluoride shuts down the thyroid gland, potentially damaging our body's metabolism on a permanent basis. Scary stuff:

Fluoride Shuts Down the Thyroid Gland and Metabolism

No matter what fluoride's effects may be, the techniques I mention above for clearing out overeating elementals through the use of electric violet DO work. In an ideal world, however, we wouldn't be sending our bodies such mixed messages - on the one hand, encouraging them to become balanced, and on the other hand, polluting such an important gland as the thyroid with destructive chemicals.

It just doesn't seem to make much sense, does it? Sometimes, I'm convinced that humanity took a wrong turn somewhere and, without knowing it, started living in Bizarro World instead of Making Sense World.

Here's hoping we all find our way home.
