By Humanity Healing Photography by Canva Pro

OMTIMES | March 2022

The word "Calling" comes from the Latin clamare, which means calling out, calling, and making noise. But this definition that we found in the dictionary seems incomplete given the large number of meanings that "Calling" manages to represent WHAT IS "THE CALL?" It can mean the voice that echoes within us and represents the beginning of a significant shift in the way we see the world, how we see ourselves and how we behave with ourselves and others. There is no right time or place for us to receive the call. It usually comes at times of crisis, grief, financial difficulties, or when we simply have the distinct feeling that something is missing in our lives.

It is a kind of awakening consciousness. We are invited to leave inertia aside to pursue our dreams, open new paths, explore different experiences, set new goals, and turn them into reality. The experience tends to be somewhat chaotic at first. After all, every change causes a feeling of discomfort, and that forces us to seek a quick adaptation to the new reality that presents itself. But while we feel a little lost, we also experience an inexplicable sense of tranquility and inner peace. HOW TO DEAL WITH THE CALL?

No doubt, many mixed feelings are part of this spiritual process.

Accepting our call makes us realize that in our life, we are even the same time creators and creatures, that we define and follow the path traced by ourselves. This can cause fear, which is natural. But overcoming this fear of the unknown, facing the obstacles that appear along this path is more than what I need: it's essential to take the following steps. Otherwise, our dreams, aspirations, and desires, which so much populate our mind, are reduced to it. It's like creating a beautiful project for building a house: nothing will come out of the paper if we don't get our hands dirty. As a result, our dreams don't come true. Accepting and responding to your spiritual call can cause some problems in your life. But this usually happens when we decide to put aside our passive version of ourselves and get up to pursue what our heart speaks. What really exists inside? What is the real purpose of your life? The call shows us that it is time to face reality and find your truth.

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too.

Many people feel somewhat confused about how to begin to understand their calling. There is no right or wrong way. What is needed, in fact, is to open your eyes to see more clearly the world around you and the world that exists within you. Here are 5 tips to help you better understand this process that brings together learning, expanding consciousness, and lots of love. 1. OBSERVE THE WORLD The world we live in is complex because it is full of challenges. Try to pay attention to everything that happens in it, how it works, how people relate to each other in this world. Does everything work flawlessly for you? Or can you imagine any changes you would make to it if given the opportunity?

PSALM 90

FOR REFLECTION AND SELF-KNOWLEDGE By Cathedral of the Soul Ministries

Self-knowledge and balance: those are key Factors to a conscious and happy human being. In times where we constantly live on autopilot, we go through life without paying attention to our surroundings, much less find time to reflect on our being and life. In Psalm 90, the Psalmist is Moses. That's right! The oldest author of the Holy Bible. In addition to writing the Pentateuch, he took the time to write the oldest psalm in the collection.

He was probably facing one of the many difficult times in the desert when he wrote it. So he says: "Satisfy us in the morning with your loyal love, and all our days we will sing happily. Give us joy for the time you afflicted us, for the years in which we suffered so much".

He had seen and gone through a lot of pain and suffering, but his prayer is from someone completely sincere. It's like he's saying, "I've suffered too much, Lord, take me to another level." Psalm 90 – THE VIRTUE OF REFLECTION Representing healing and reflection resources for the body and soul, the Psalms of the day have the power to reorganize our entire existence, thoughts, and attitudes. Each Psalm has its power and, for it to become even greater and enable its goals to be fully achieved, the chosen Psalm must be recited or sung for 3, 7, or 21 days in a row, with faith and perseverance. The same applies to the psalms of the day related to moments of reflection and selfknowledge. Not reflecting on our actions and thoughts can make us follow a path where we do not seek what brings happiness to our lives, becoming unproductive and losing part of our precious time on Earth. The world is full of the most different and complex events and reflecting on them is of paramount importance to guide ourselves correctly. Free will rightly makes us responsible for directing our history. However, we may find it difficult to understand the power we have in our hands. For this, spiritual influences will always be ready to guide and guide us on this journey. With the psalms of the day, it is possible to dedicate this communication with the divine and obtain the necessary reflection for a full life.

Psalm 90 can provide you with such heavenly contact and full knowledge of all your afflictions and abilities to overcome them. Lord, you have been our refuge from generation to generation. Before the mountains were born, or before you formed the Earth and the world, yes, from eternity to eternity, you are God. You reduce man to dust, and say Return, children of men! Because a thousand years in your eyes are like the day off yesterday. Like a watch in the night. You carry them away as by a torrent; they are like sleep; they are like growing grass in the morning. In the morning, it grows and blooms; in the afternoon, it is cut and dried. For we are consumed by your anger, and by your fury, we are troubled. Before you, we put our iniquities, in the light of your face, our hidden sins. For all our days are passing away in your indignation; our years are over like a sigh. Our life span is seventy years, and if some reach eighty years of age because of their strength, their measure is weariness and weariness, for it passes quickly, and we fly. Who knows the power of your anger? And your anger, according to the fear that is due you? Teach us to count our days in such a way that we reach wise hearts. Turn to us, Lord! Until when? Have compassion on your servants.

CURE BAD EMOTIONS AND NEGATIVITY WITH FENG SHUI Negative emotions can prevent us from feeling well and even cause psychological illnesses such as depression.

But we can say that the feeling springs from within us. Therefore, this inner world is entirely influenced by the way we react to circumstances.

Emotions form a complex world, which depends on various circumstances so that you really have a good, lively, vibrant, and calm feeling inside you. Feng Shui is the study of the energies inside and outside of you. The goal is to create a balance in our home, to facilitate harmony with ourselves. An emotion is a reaction we have to events and situations.

"But pain's like water. It finds a way to push through any seal. There's no way to stop it. So sometimes you have to let yourself sink inside of it before you can learn how to swim to the surface." ― Katie Kacvinsky

The five elements also act within us, and emotion is directly linked to the water element, making sense since we are 70% composed of water. Whenever you suffer from any annoyance or inconvenience, it generates a response. If you are in balance, you can respond positively and consider what you have learned. But if you are not well internally, it creates sorrow and resentment. When this happens, the water inside you becomes turbid. It becomes water that is not pure, that will no longer react spontaneously, as is a natural state, to the events of the day today. The internal imbalance of emotions causes the Tao to move away. The most significant meaning of Feng Shui translates into placing each human being with their unique particularities in their personal path to have increased satisfaction, learning, and Evolution. In this case, Feng Shui can act in a very interesting and effective way, starting to reach a new point of balance within us. Below, we listed an emotion healing exercise by using Feng Shui. FENG SHUI RITUAL FOR CURE OF NEGATIVE EMOTIONS

This little ritual teaches you to integrate your feminine and masculine sides. The ceremony aims to balance both sides, which must be in equilibrium to manifest our essence more serene, safer, and more satisfying way.

THE RAUSIS TECHNIQUE FOR LUCID DREAMS by Humanity Healing Photo by Canvas Pro

After dedicating years and years to studying lucid dreams, Swiss Therapist Jean Rausis finally developed an incredible technique that takes his last name but promises quick and easy results for entering and traveling in the world of dreams. In his research, Rausis sought to alter and manipulate the conscious state of mind. As a result, his technique achieved acclaimed status, where even beginners could have lucid dreams on the first try. RAUSIS, THE POWERFUL TECHNIQUE FOR HAVING LUCID DREAMS The concept behind the RAUSIS technique goes straight to the point. First, access your memory reservoir: you can sense when an external sound is included in your dream, right? Something like a phone ringing, an alarm, or just someone asking you to wake up.

Well, this ability of the brain to incorporate external noises can be very well explored concerning lucid dreams. For the more untrained or untrained person, when your body hears a noise in "real life," your mind instantly associates it with the dream to make that sound out of context make sense. The RAUSIS method allows you to quickly fall asleep in deep REM sleep. From there, you will reach a hypnagogic state (drowsiness that precedes true sleep), and you will be ready to reach the long-awaited moment of lucid dreaming. According to Jean Rausis, 6 out of 10 individuals can have lucid dreams on the first attempt. At the same time, the other 4 achieve it within 3 shots. Therefore, compared to other techniques that involve external triggers, RAUSIS proved to be extremely efficient.

LUCID DREAMS: HOW TO HAVE THEM OFTEN! HOW TO HAVE LUCID DREAMS WITH THE RAUSIS METHOD? You will need two basic items to practice this technique: a cell phone and an alarm clock (or two cell phones, or two alarm clocks, or a cell phone with the necessary settings). Now just follow the steps below: SET AN ALARM Get the first alarm clock and set the alarm exactly three minutes before the next alarm clock. The alarm volume should be loud and clear, and you're the one who sets the time. You can practice the technique both in the morning and during your night sleep. The important thing is that you feel tired enough to sleep. It is important to note that the second alarm should not go off "infinitely." Instead, get some device that repeats the noise only for a certain amount of time (between 30 and 60 seconds), and then stop.

The Healing Power of Shamanic Practice Shamans are men or women who work with energy and nature for healing. During a shamanic journey, shamans enter an altered state of consciousness that allows them to perceive what is otherwise invisible. Their consciousness travels to supernatural, transpersonal realms that people who aren’t shamans can learn to access as well. In their journeys to the past and the future, shamans gain energies and information that can help them, and others live better lives in the present and set a new course for the future. They do this for the sake of achieving healing for themselves or someone else—even, perhaps, their community. Many people explore shamanism in the hopes of gaining healing powers as a result of shamanic practice.

OMTIMES | MARCH 2022

Shamans believe the places they visit on shamanic journeys are real. I believe that, too, based on the experiences I have had personally and in working with shamans around the world. I say to people who have chosen to walk the shamanic path, “Check in with yourself about what you are experiencing. It’s up to you to decide what to make of it.” Shamanism is based on learning to value your own perceptions, recognizing that there’s more than one way to interpret an experience. Ultimately, we are all left with the task of weaving into our everyday lives the energies and information we may have gained as a result of doing shamanic work.

OMTIMES | MARCH 2022

Perhaps the transpersonal realms shamans interact with are places that exist in other dimensions: places we can be transported to when we leave behind ordinary awareness and our identification with our bodies. Whatever the nature of these realms, shamans mediate between them and the world of their communities, all the while maintaining personal consciousness and will. Shamans work with the past to change the way people’s previous experiences affect them today and with the future to connect them to a better outcome than the one they were headed toward. Like hunters, shamans track for a better future that can be brought back into the present energetically. Shamans also help people to dream into being a new future and new possibilities so that they do not have to continue to live as they have or stay on the same trajectory.

The Importance of the God Gene

BY JILL MATTSON

To the World's astonishment, in 2004 geneticist Dean Hamer released his scientific finding unveiling a gene that he called the God Gene. His research suggests that spiritualism can, in part, be inherited. The presence of this gene predisposes a person to be spiritual and perhaps even have mystical experiences. To begin this huge undertaking, Hamer quantified "Spirituality" by psychometric measurements. Spiritual characteristics were determined after studying highly spiritual people. Three qualities that the researchers described as spiritual were: "Self-forgetfulness" (becoming totally absorbed in some activity, such as reading). "Transpersonal identification" (feeling connected to a larger universe). "Mysticism" (an openness to believe things that remain unproven, such as ESP). The above three components of spirituality taken together were called self-transcendence by Hamer. This selftranscendence measure of spirituality was heritable by classical twin studies conducted by L. Eaves and N. Martin. Approximately 40% of the variations in self-transcendence were due to genes. By contrast, specific religious beliefs (such as belief in a particular deity) had no genetic basis.

To identify some of the specific genes involved in self-transcendence, Hamer analyzed the DNA and spirituality scores from over 1,000 individuals. As a result, he concluded that people could partially inherit spirituality. This is attributed, in part, to the gene called VMAT2. Hamer concludes that spirituality provides an evolutionary advantage by providing individuals with an innate sense of optimism. This, according to Hamer, has survival advantages hence its presence and growth in the human gene pool.

THE TECHNIQUE THAT PROMISES TO BRING FINANCIAL CURE March 2022

Reiki is a Japanese natural method of harmonizing and replenishing energy to restore a natural state of balance. It is an ancient practice rediscovered by the Japanese Buddhist monk Mikao Usui in 1919. Through the laying on of hands, the universal energy of Reiki is channeled and directed towards the patient. It is perfect for balancing the fear and insecurity of animals with abandonment syndrome or any other physical or emotional disorder. But what if we said that there is a variation aimed especially at financial healing, in addition to the Tibetan, Shamanic and Christian aspects. It is Called Money Reiki. The technique aims to bring a redefinition of money and the concept of prosperity. It also promises to transform our relationship with them. WHAT IS MONEY REIKI? As we have already introduced, Money Reiki is a financial healing system. The Recent Technique was created in 2005 after the death of Hawayo Takada, a Hawaiian disciple of master Mikao Usui, responsible for bringing Reiki to the West in the 1980s. Developed by Texan and Reiki Master Stephanie Brail, Money Reiki emerged to cure human beings of greed. It also can mitigate the negative thoughts that money can cause — getting sick, destroying, and blinding.
