Survive to Thrive: Actualization

Adora Winquist February 23, 2022

Together, we have reached the 6th step in the Personal Evolution Triad. We have risen from the base step of Survival and Struggle. We are almost at the pinnacle, we're at the Actualization step, the sixth chakra: Ajna. 

The essential oil and crystal we're going to be working with today are Spikenard and Lapis Lazuli, for the Ajna center. When we're working with this center this week, and we're working with the concept of self-actualization—the Survive to Thrive triad is all about moving along our own individual pathway of self-mastery and this meditation will invite greater vision and clarity. We're also connecting to higher level spiritual concepts and precepts. 

This meditation will include an activation of the pineal gland and the glands that are associated with the eyes and partial brain. The pineal gland is that aspect of the endocrine system, kind of like a pine cone shape, that relates to our melatonin production, which of course is connected to our serotonin levels. So the pineal is instrumental in not only mood regulation, but balancing our circadian rhythms as well.

From a spiritual perspective, this gland, when it is open and activated and receptive, is all about us being able to connect into higher levels of consciousness, being able to tap into cosmic templates and universal understanding, and to bring those into and through our auric field, and then bring them down through each of our chakras, down to the very base chakra, which is where we actualize our intentions and longings for this life.

Essential Oil Alchemy:

Spikenard essential oil alchemy

Spikenard medicine holds the sacred blueprint for spiritizing matter. It awakens a deep memory of reverence for the gamut of human experience. Spikenard invites the understanding that the Earth is a schoolhouse for soul growth and consciousness expansion.  It is a thick and viscous aromatic reminiscent of ancient earth, and is potent alchemy for pineal activation. 

Crystal Alchemy:

Lapis crystal alchemy

The alchemy of lapis holds cosmic templates of mystical awakening, sacred geometric formations and connections with our benevolent starseed allies. Invite lapis medicine into your intentional practices to experience harmonic induction from the universal perspective. Goddess Isis is deeply connected to lapis lazuli, call on its alchemy to open psychic alignment with her potent wisdom and vision. 

Visualization:

Put one drop of your oil in the palm of your left hand and take a deep breath in. As you're breathing in, invite in the clarity of your intention for this healing today. Wherever you feel called to bring the light of divine consciousness and the love and sacred connection within this group, for all those that are here, and all those that will come in the future. Any aspect of your path of self-mastery that you would like to bring the light of divine consciousness to, invite that in now and know that as you're breathing in the aromatic molecules, you are opening a new circuit of light and healing, a new memory cell within your brain. 

Envision the brilliance of your light. Invite in a clear understanding of who you are and why you have come here, now. 

Breathe, as this golden ray of light comes down to your pineal gland and begins to illuminate each cell in the pineal, to open and expand the cellular consciousness and to drink in the light of divine connection and cosmic blessing. 

To activate the pineal to receive the highest level of light quotient from the great central sun, gleaming through this planetary construct to balance each aspect of your physiology and begin to activate the elixir of life to drop into your main channel of energy.

Affirm, “I am the light that is eternal.” This plane of divine consciousness is illuminated within your pineal and is eternal. 

Breathe deeply as this golden light begins to expand until every cell is singing in unison, unity, and clarity. Levels of ancient wisdom are awakened within your soul.

On your next breath in, a sacred geometric formation begins to move down through the higher realms. This is a seal, a sacred seal of protection. This form, as soon as it anchors within your auric field, shifts from gold to Lapis Lazuli. This Lapis bubble of light and protection seals your field, and will continue to activate the innate memories of mysticism held throughout your DNA, cosmic teachings of how to work with the elements and the forces of light to co-create and actualize the new earth. You may sense sacred geometric formations swirling through your field.

We offer this healing for the earth and all kingdoms of life upon this sacred planet. May we remember the sacred power held within, our divinity, our sovereignty. May we continue to bear the torches of illumination and remembrance for those who will come next. So be it.

If you have any oil left on your hands, take a deep breath in for about 30 seconds as you complete this circuit of light, of healing, this new memory cell within your body, being, and brain, fused with the activation of this pineal attunement. When you're ready, bring yourself back to the present moment. 

Blessings!
Adora

Survive to Thrive: Survival and Struggle
January 20, 2022

This is the first of a seven-part series called Survive to Thrive. A little bit of background on why I chose to take us on this specific journey: in 2022, I'm going to be launching my new school program called the Soul Institute, which is exciting. As I was gathering ideas to put together for course programs, I was going through my book, Detox Nourish Activate, and one section in the Adrenal area, called the Personal Evolution Triad, stood out to me to be expounded upon. Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it takes us along the journey of self mastery.

Survive to Thrive: The Personal Evolution Triad
January 20, 2022

As a student and teacher for over two decades in the field of alternative medicine, I have come to understand the infinite nature of personal growth in an expansive way. In the writing of our new programs for the launch of our educational platform: The Soul Institute, I have refined the initial concept of the Personal Evolution Triad: Survive to Thrive. Based on the concept of Maslov’s Hierarchy, the Survive to Thrive diagram furthers the understanding of how we can evolve from the primary steps of survival and struggle. When we engage in the vicious cycle of struggle, dis-ease is perpetuated, whether it manifests in our body, mind, emotions or spirit.

Healing Abandonment
December 11, 2020

One of the reasons that we use essential oils is that when we're inhaling an essential oil or a synergy, it helps us connect to or create a new memory cell because of the powerful connection between olfaction and the limbic center of our brain that regulates so much of our physiology, specifically mood, memory, and emotion. And so with this process, we're able to create new and healthier neuro-pathways patterns to really shift the trajectory of our emotional response when we have triggering, overwhelming or stressful experiences.

The Alchemy of Salt
December 29, 2023

Salt is used to cleanse and purify a home, office or other personal space of stagnant or unwanted energy. The energy of your environment has a direct impact on your mood, mental clarity, and overall sense of inspiration and harmony in your life. Salt was once traded by weight for gold. Ancient traditions used it for food preservation, mummification, to treat illness, and maintain the body's biochemistry.

I thought I would share a little story with you that is germane to the Adora Frequency and how it relates to me as an individual, as well as the Brennan school. For those of you that have gone through the program, you know we go into the depth of our core wounding in the first year. In the very first experience, we were brought back into the state of infancy and core wounding of the schizoid characterology, which was quite a surprise.

What Does Beauty, Faith, and Spirituality Have in Common?
August 2, 2023

Let's face it (wink) - the term beauty has a great deal of charge to it. We’ve been indoctrinated from too early an age of what beauty is "supposed" to look like. This messaging came from our parents and the culture of our heritage, the media, the maya of celebrity, and all the experiences we've had from the schoolyard to the corporate boardroom and even the bedroom where this has been reinforced.
