Spirit Matters: Down-to-Earth Tools for a Spirited Life

While much material exists on the imminent planetary shift, in Spirit Matters: Down-to-Earth Tools for a Spirited Life, Jim Self and Roxane Burnett acknowledge this event and offer specific energy techniques to help get through this transition. Echoing my personal goal to experience rather than simply read and intellectualize, there are many practices taught in this book to apply to daily life.

Intentional thinking is the foundation of these exercises. Self says: “Culture is created by group agreements. Group agreements are based upon beliefs. Beliefs are simply thoughts that are repeated. Therefore if we change our individual thoughts, we change the culture.” Mastering our thoughts balances our energy and provides the ability to master our lives.

A fundamental tool consists of an imaginary rose that can be used in multiple situations. Its primary purpose is to create a boundary delineating one’s personal energy from getting mixed with another. A rose can also be used to dispense with limiting beliefs and reduce emotional charges triggered by people or events. My first attempt with a rose technique took place in a Fairfax County, Virginia traffic court room following which I was granted a reduced charge from a potentially serious reckless driving ticket.

Other tools include the use of sacred geometry, specifically creating an imaginary octahedron structure around the body that acts as a force field. The authors describe processes of integrating the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual bodies for optimal balance. Words and colors are used to develop personal attributes and a clearer sense of self.

Together, these tools and more are used to reach a state of alignment with one’s purpose and to manage the specifics of relationships, work and other daily details of living. Self expands on the practices taught in this book with live seminars, free online lectures and teleseminars, and a year-long program called Mastering Alchemy.

Having attended an evening lecture and weekend seminar, I can attest to Self’s sincerity and commitment to these practices. A crowd of people responded positively to his guided meditations and those who had worked with him previously asserted to some amazing changes in their lives.
