What is Cosmic Energy and How to Harness It

What is Cosmic Energy and How to Harness It

By AtmashreeYogaRetreat

Posted on June 4, 2025




Cosmic energy is the source of energy that comes from the vastness of space to the smallest particles of matter. It is considered the energy that animates life to maintain balance and harmony in the universe. The concept has its roots in various spiritual and ancient traditions, as it is related to ideas such as prana in Hinduism or chi in Chinese philosophy.

The origins of cosmic energy can be traced back to the creation of the universe itself. Here, the immense amount of energy is transformed into different forms, including celestial, life, and spiritual energy. The transformation underscores its role as a fundamental force that sustains life and connects individuals to a larger cosmic framework.

As a universal life force, cosmic energy flows through unique pathways known as chakras in many spiritual practices. Similarly, it influences physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.

The Role of Cosmic Energy in Spirituality and Wellness

Cosmic energy plays an important role in bridging the spiritual and material realms. It acts as a conduit for anyone looking to harness harmony between their physical existence and higher consciousness. In spiritual practices, cosmic energy is considered the life force that transcends the limitations of the physical world. The connection develops a sense of unity and purpose that enables people to transcend material concerns and gain insights into their true essence.

One of the contributions of cosmic energy is its ability to enhance self-awareness, cultivate inner peace, and restore emotional balance. When you engage with this energy, they experience an elevated sense of clarity about their thoughts and feelings. Self-awareness allows them to identify and address negative emotions or limiting beliefs that may be holding them back.

Moreover, cosmic energy’s impact extends beyond the spiritual and emotional dimensions. On a mental level, cosmic energy increases stress and anxiety, clears mental clutter, and improves focus. It rejuvenates the mind and enhances creativity and problem-solving abilities. On a physical level, engaging with cosmic energy supports the body’s natural healing processes by restoring energy flow and balance within the body.

How to Connect with Cosmic Energy

Cosmic energy is a special kind of energy that helps us feel calm, happy, and strong. Below are some fun and simple ways you can use to connect with this magical energy:

Meditation

Meditation is sitting quietly and listening to the world inside you. Close your eyes, take slow, deep breaths, and imagine a warm, glowing light filling your body. This light is cosmic energy! It can make you feel peaceful and happy. You can try thinking about your favorite place or listen to a guided meditation to help you focus.

Yoga

Yoga is a fun stretching game that helps cosmic energy flow through your body. When you move into different poses (like pretending to be a tree or a cat), you help your body and mind work together. Don’t forget to breathe slowly while you do yoga; it’s like giving your body a little energy boost.

Visualization

Visualization means using your imagination to connect with cosmic energy. Close your eyes and imagine a bright, colorful light all around you. See the light coming into your body to make you feel strong and happy. You can also imagine yourself in a magical garden or on a mountaintop and soak in the energy from nature.

Spending Time in Nature

Nature is full of cosmic energy! Go outside and feel the sun on your skin, the breeze in your hair, or the grass under your feet. Walking in a park, sitting under a tree, or listening to birds can help you feel calm and connected to the world around you.

Breathing Exercises

Breathing is super powerful! Try breathing in slowly through your nose and then out through your mouth. You can even pretend you’re blowing out birthday candles or smelling a flower. This helps your body relax and opens up space for cosmic energy to flow in to make you feel refreshed and full of life.

These above-mentioned are a few of the methods. If you are ready to embark on your journey to spiritual enlightenment and connect more to cosmic energies, you can directly book our 200-hour yoga teacher training classes.

Conclusion 

Cosmic energy is all around us and can help us feel calm, strong, and connected. As you use simple practices like meditation, yoga, spending time in nature, and breathing exercises, you can bring this energy into your life. It helps us feel better, stay balanced, and grow as a person.

Cosmic energy is a gift from the universe that anyone can use. By connecting with it, we can live happier, healthier, and more peaceful lives.

Collective Energy Purge

Collective Energy Purge

By Ascension LightWorkers (AL)

Posted on May 24, 2025




Over the past 48 hours and continuing through the weekend, there is an extensive collective energy purge and release taking place.This is supporting the influx of high planetary frequencies received during the recent Portals , Starseeds may be experiencing feelings of lethargy and lack of motivation in certain areas of life as well as feeling lost or possibly confused.

We are now in the 10 Days of a Solace period, a time for reflection, meditation and conscious evolution. Over the next 10 days we are taking an in-depth look at all areas of life and making a conscious choice to level up. This is a time for honest evaluation in self free of any guilt or shame. Emerging in the frequencies of opportunity to clear any lingering past self residue. The ascending collective have shifted into higher dimensional timelines.

Shadow work is the process of exploring inner darkness or the “Shadow Self”. Shadow work uncovers every part of you that has been falsley conditined, misgrogrammed, disowned, repressed, and rejected. This is the only authentic path to genuine ascension and enlightenment.

There may be out of the blue bouts of anger, sadness, resentment and anxiety for some which can result in feeling overly emotional and crying randomly and spontaneously, experiencing deep sadness in self Additionally, irritability and annoyance may arise for no apparent reason. This is a temporary state of being, as the old outdated ways in self continue to collapse and breakdown, a great deal of change is taking place in many levels of conscious awareness.

Those ascending and clearing anxiety often experience something called “Waiting Mode”. This means you find it difficult to accomplish tasks because you may be distracted by the awareness of upcoming appointments, causing anxiety, impatience, and sensory overwhelm for a time.

There is grief in releasing the past version of self, feeling loss and sadness for a time is understandable. There is no short cut to this stage of the journey. The biggest investment is made within the self.

As your frequency upgrades and your intuition becomes stronger, you notice how much other people’s energy actually does affect you. The more spiritually attuned you become, the more sensitive you are to energy in general. Keeping circles that are genuinely pure, sacred and small.

For some Ascending souls the current energies may feel heavy and difficult to navigate. However, for others they may also feel light and inspiring. There is a sense of rebirth and the opportunity for brand new beginnings. The external disharmony has caused imbalance within for some individuals.

This is all normal and part of the natural Ascension process of purging and releasing negative energy to create energetic space for higher vibrations. By feeling, sensing, releasing, transmuting, and receiving, we become better aligned with our true self.

Identyfing the source of any disharmony as it arises, whether it is related to love, work, or the inner child. In order to grow and heal, it’s important for us to consciously release misprogrammed beliefs, stagnant energies, expectations, and blockages created due to past pain and trauma. Recognising that the transforming self is a powerful being and energetic creator.

The higher self that is the eternal and unlimited version of you is now taking over ,It ignites your soul with the desire to achieve your true potential here in the material world. By accessing your higher self you tap into the power within you that will guide you to fulfill your life’s purpose. Trust in your higher self and let it serve as your guide towards achieving your goals and becoming the best version of yourself.

Healing is never linear. Healing can feel messy. Some days you may feel okay and other days you may not feel ok. Taking each day as it comes. Trusting in the Ascension process helps to navigate these changing times here on our transforming planet.

In loving and devoted Ascension service

Seventh Ray Meditation

Seventh Ray Meditation

By Archangel Zadkiel

Channel: Victoria Cochrane

Posted on May 17, 2025




I am Archangel Zadkiel of the Seventh Ray with my female Archeia, Holy Amethyst. Together we are the keepers of the Violet Ray which corresponds to the Seventh Chakra on your crown. The Violet Ray encompasses the Violet Flame and the Amethyst Crystal and is the ray that connects you to your Higher Self and the higher, galactic chakras.

The energies coming from Mother Earth are now accelerating and mixing with the energies from the Great Central Sun, other planets in the universe and from the Creator himself. Even though there is much angst coming from the human race at this time, the energies of ascension and purification cannot be overridden and can be felt by everyone to varying degrees. Combined with the activation of more peoples’ crystalline bodies, the effect can either be very healing or very confusing.

I wish to impart a simple meditation to assist those of you who are connecting to the new, purified energies and whose bodies have been assimilating for some time. It is designed to help you to connect to the energies through the energy of the sun so that your bodies are completely aligned and in tune with the seven rays.

Close your eyes and feel yourself grounding down to Mother Earth. Give her thanks and blessings for the gifts she gives you.

Bring your energy back up through your feet and take it straight up through your chakra line and out of your crown chakra. Above you can see all of your chakras leading up to Creator’s beautiful light. Beyond that you can see the sun.

Take your energy, as a beam of pure light, up through your higher self and chakras and connect to Creator’s light. In this energy feel yourself merge as one to his essence of unconditional love. You are now at one with Source and the universe, totally loved and protected.

Continue travelling upwards, out into the universe and towards the Great, Central Sun. As you get closer to it you become aware of its light permeating your Crown Chakra. You stop in front of the sun, close enough to see its surface and to feel its rays, but there is no heat.

Now you become aware of all of your chakras from your causal chakra above your head down to your Earth chakra at your feet. The rays of the sun have now filled each chakra and are forming a golden rod down your spine from your head to your toes.

Now the flames of the sun are coming slowly upwards inside your body, burning up any stale emotions, old trauma, negative belief systems, restoring tissue and balancing any illnesses. As the fire exits through your crown you feel renewed.

Take your energy back down through Creator’s light, down through your higher self and back through your crown. Ground your energy deep into Mother Earth and connect to her energies of ascension. As you do you notice the colours – deep magenta, indigo, violet and gold. Bring them up with your light into your chakras and then flood them out into your body. Hold the energy for a few moments as the beautiful vibrations integrate into your whole system. When you feel it is done, give thanks and open your eyes.

This meditation can be done every few weeks as the energies coming from Mother Earth are constantly changing and strengthening.

Blessings to you all,

I AM Archangel Zadkiel.

Story
My spiritual journey began only six years ago when I began to smell smoke all around me, even though neither my husband nor I smoke! I worked out that it must be my maternal grandfather, who had died 26 years ago of emphysema. After visiting two psychics, I finally received his message, which was about salary sacrificing. That made sense, as he was a chartered accountant. He then began to teach me how to channel, answering my thoughts with his own.

How Meditation Benefits Your Mind and Body

 How Meditation Benefits Your Mind and Body

By Healthline

Posted on May 8, 2025


While meditation is well known as a technique to reduce stress and anxiety, it may also help enhance your mood, promote healthy sleep patterns, and boost cognitive skills.

Meditation is the habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts.

The popularity of meditation is increasing as more people discover its many health benefits.

You can use it to increase awareness of yourself and your surroundings. Many think of it as a way to reduce stress and develop concentration.

People also use the practice to develop other beneficial habits and feelings, such as a positive mood and outlook, self-discipline, healthy sleep patterns, and even increased pain tolerance.

This article reviews 12 health benefits of meditation.

1. Reduces stress

 

Stress reduction is one of the most common reasons people try meditation.

Over time, physiological markers of stress, like increased cortisol and heart rate, can have wide-ranging impacts on everything from sleep to blood pressure.

2017 reviewTrusted Source of 45 studies suggests various forms of mediation can help to decrease physiological markers of stress.

Other research suggests that meditation may also improve symptoms of certain conditions that are impacted by stress, including:

2. Controls anxiety

Meditation can reduce stress levels, which translates to less anxiety.

An older 2014 meta-analysisTrusted Source including nearly 1,300 adults found that meditation may decrease anxiety. Notably, this effect was strongest in those with the highest levels of anxiety.

Another studyTrusted Source found that 8 weeks of mindfulness meditation helped reduce anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder, along with increasing positive self-statements and improving stress reactivity and coping.

Meditation may also help control job-related anxiety. One studyTrusted Source found that employees who used a mindfulness meditation app for 8 weeks experienced improved feelings of well-being and decreased distress and job strain, compared with those in a control group.

3. Supports emotional health

 

Some forms of meditation can lead to improved self-image and a more positive outlook on life.

For example, one reviewTrusted Source of treatments given to more than 3,500 adults found that mindfulness meditation improved symptoms of depression.

2015 studyTrusted Source found that people who completed a meditation exercise experienced fewer negative thoughts in response to viewing negative images than those in a control group).

4. Enhances self-awareness

 

Some forms of meditation may help you develop a stronger understanding of yourself, helping you grow into your best self.

For example, self-inquiry meditation aims to help you develop a greater understanding of yourself and how you relate to those around you.

Other forms teach you to recognize harmful or self-defeating thoughts. The idea is that as you gain greater awareness of your thought habits, you can steer them toward more constructive patterns.

In a 2019 studyTrusted Source, 153 adults who used a mindfulness meditation app for 2 weeks experienced reduced feelings of loneliness and increased social contact compared with those in a control group.

5. Lengthens attention span

 

Focused attention meditation is like weightlifting for your attention span. It helps increase your attention span’s strength and endurance.

For example, one studyTrusted Source found that people who listened to a meditation tape experienced improved attention and accuracy while completing a task, compared with those in a control group.

different studyTrusted Source found that people who regularly practiced meditation performed better on a visual task and had a greater attention span than those without any meditation experience.

Even meditating for a short period each day may benefit you. One studyTrusted Source found that meditating for just 13 minutes daily enhanced attention and memory after 8 weeks.

6. May reduce age-related memory loss

 

Improvements in attention and clarity of thinking may help keep your mind young.

Kirtan Kriya is a method of meditation that combines a mantra or chant with repetitive finger motions to focus your thoughts. Older studiesTrusted Source in people with age-related memory loss have shown it improves performance on neuropsychological tests.

An older 2014 reviewTrusted Source found preliminary evidence that multiple meditation styles can increase attention, memory, and mental quickness in older volunteers.

7. Can generate kindness

 

Some types of meditation may particularly increase positive feelings and actions toward yourself and others.

Metta meditation, a type of meditation also known as loving-kindness meditation, begins with developing kind thoughts and feelings toward yourself.

Through practice, people learn to extend this kindness and forgiveness externally, first to friends, then acquaintances, and ultimately enemies.

meta-analysisTrusted Source of 22 studies on this form of meditation demonstrated its ability to increase peoples’ compassion toward themselves and others.

These benefits appear to accumulateTrusted Source over time with the practice of loving-kindness meditation.

8. May help with addiction

 

The mental discipline you can develop through meditation may helpTrusted Source you break dependencies by increasing your self-control and awareness of triggers for addictive behaviors.

2018 studyTrusted Source involving 60 people receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder linked practicing transcendental meditation with lower levels of stress, psychological distress, alcohol cravings, and alcohol use after 3 months.

Meditation may also help you control food cravings. An older reviewTrusted Source of 14 studies found that mindfulness meditation helped participants reduce emotional stress and binge eating.

9. Improves sleep

 

An older 2014 study compared mindfulness-based meditation programs and found that people who meditated stayed asleep longer and had improved insomnia severity, compared with those who had an unmedicated control condition.

Becoming skilled in meditation may help you control or redirect the racing or runaway thoughts that often lead to insomnia.

Additionally, it can help relax your body, release tension, and ease you into a peaceful state in which you’re more likely to fall asleep.

10. Helps control pain

 

Some research suggests that incorporating meditation into your routine could be beneficial for controlling pain.

For example, a 2017 reviewTrusted Source of 38 studies concluded that mindfulness meditation could reduce pain, improve quality of life, and decrease symptoms of depression in people with chronic pain.

A large 2014 meta-analysisTrusted Source of studies enrolling nearly 3,500 participants linked meditation with decreased pain.

11. Can decrease blood pressure

 

Meditation can also improve physical health by reducing strain on the heart.

Over time, high blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood, leading to poor heart function.

High blood pressure also contributes to atherosclerosis, or a narrowing of the arteries, which can lead to heart attack and stroke.

2015 meta-analysisTrusted Source of 12 studies enrolling nearly 1,000 participants found that meditation helped reduce blood pressure. This was more effective among older participants and those with higher blood pressure before the study (42Trusted Source).

In part, meditation appearsTrusted Source to control blood pressure by relaxing the nerve signals that coordinate heart function, blood vessel tension, and the “fight-or-flight” response that increases alertness in stressful situations.

12. Accessible anywhere

 

People practice many different forms of meditation, most of which don’t require specialized equipment or space. You can practice with just a few minutes daily.

If you want to start meditating, try choosing a form of meditation based on what you want to get out of it.

There are two major styles of meditation:

  • Focused-attention meditation. This style concentrates attention on a single object, thought, sound, or visualization. It emphasizes ridding your mind of distractions. Meditation may focus on breathing, a mantra, or a calming sound.
  • Open-monitoring meditation. This style encourages broadened awareness of all aspects of your environment, train of thought, and sense of self. It may include becoming aware of suppressed thoughts, feelings, or impulses.

If your regular work and home environments do not allow for consistent, quiet alone time, consider participating in a class. This can also improve your chances of success by providing a supportive community.

Alternatively, consider setting your alarm a few minutes early to take advantage of quiet time in the morning. This may help you develop a consistent habit and allow you to start the day positively.

The bottom line

Meditation is something everyone can do to improve their mental and emotional health without special equipment or costly memberships.

Trying out a style of meditation suited to your goals is a great way to improve your quality of life, even if you only have a few minutes to do it daily.

Protection Meditation for Innocents

Protection Meditation for Innocents

By The Source Creator

Channel: Victoria Cochrane

Posted on January 26, 2025





The world we live in is one of creation, through our belief systems, our thoughts and actions, and the consequences that are created through our choices. Every scenario that plays out in our lives is a consequence of actions and behaviours we executed through our thoughts and what we believed to be true. Along the way, we may get hooked into threads of outside belief systems that may sway us into a different way of thinking and behaving that has its own set of consequences. Let’s call these systems ‘webs.’

Webs that are created through collaboration with others and fed by a large group of smaller webs become very strong; so much so that they create a momentum that sweeps anyone in its path up into it until it is self-perpetuating and extremely persuasive in its consciousness. We can call this a ‘matrix’, and those who are innocently caught within can find themselves a victim really quickly, despite all attempts to fight against it. Herd mentality within a matrix is exploited and manipulated by those powerful enough to have influence over it, and even good people with the best intentions can find themselves making decisions that serve those with evil intent. How can this be allowed to happen, and what, if anything, can those with a higher consciousness, who are aware of what is happening, intervene to protect the innocents?

In the world today, so many children and families are currently caught up in systems that are supposedly there to help them but which, in fact, are throwing them back to the wolves. In some cases, children are taken from the protective parent because the web of lies is so strong it has created its own matrix. Those watching it happen feel helpless in the face of it, and the steps taken to silence them are blatantly unjust and totally unfair, but continue anyway.

Matrixes feed off fear and negativity, and the consequences of the decisions made by those in power only create more fear, negativity, anger and angst until it is like a self-perpetuating cyclone keeping everyone trapped within its raging energy. To break it, one needs hope and positivity, which usually must come from without the matrix, but those with strong consciousness connected to Source can find and provide it also. With such dense energies trapped within any belief web or matrix, the only way out is with love and strong, positive belief systems that justice can be served and people can be free. No mean feat indeed.

We provide here a meditation to protect those who find themselves or loved ones ensnared within systems that have betrayed their trust. We urge that, should you do this meditation with someone in mind, work diligently to have unswerving faith that your prayers will be answered. The most important thing is that you do not invest in the fear and negativity surrounding your situation, so engaging in other, high frequency spiritual activities is also recommended. Remember, like attracts like, so the higher your consciousness when performing this crystal meditation, the more positive and powerful the effect will be. Allow at least two weeks before any change is apparent.

MEDITATION

Prepare a quiet, sacred place that is yours alone. Centre your energy within your heart space and breathe slowly until you are relaxed and grounded. Hold the intention that this meditation be in the energy of oneness with the Source of Creation and of the highest vibration. Also intend that it is for your and the person you are protecting highest and best. Note that any healing intervention must be with the person’s permission. In the event that the person is a child under the age of 8, permission from their higher self and asking for the healing by the Law of Grace will protect you from inadvertent karma.

Envision the person you wish to send protection and healing to in your mind’s eye. Call upon the person’s archangel guide, as well as yours, to assist you and ask that the person’s energy be raised to the 5th dimension in the highest and best way. See, feel or imagine the energy around the person change, while intending that they are placed upon a white lotus flower with 1000 petals. It is now intended that the right crystals to keep them safe and protected from harm inflicted by decisions that are not in their best interest now be placed in their energy fields, in their chakras and aura or around them as Creator deems best, and see, feel or imagine that happening.

Invoke the Violet Flame of Transmutation and intend that all negative and harmful emotions from the person be transmuted to love. As the Violet Flame engulfs the person’s aura and bodies, also intend that any psychic hooks, attacks, belief webs or matrixes from other people or systems that are not for the person’s highest and best and that are against the person’s free will, now be dissolved and sent to the Creator’s light.  (This part cannot be done if the person’s will has not been intervened upon.)

Ask now that the crystals be activated to provide spiritual and energetic protection for the person until the situation at hand has been fully resolved. See, feel or imagine this happening, then ask the Archangels present to seal the person’s aura and to keep guard against lower interventions for as long as needed.

Now send love and light – not just to the person, but to all people involved, and thank the Universe for the situation being resolved for the person you are protecting in the highest and best way in the highest and best timing. Give thanks to the Archangels and then bring up the Violet Flame again. As it all transmutes to love, break ties with the person and bring your awareness back to the room. Ground your energy and let go of all expectation – it is done.

I Am the Creator of All That Is.
