Working with a mirror is strange, uncomfortable, sometimes intimidating, or a little awkward.

But it is also deeply healing. Of all the spiritual methods of inner work available to us in the 21st century, mirror work is one of the simplest and most powerful.

Unlike many other paths to inner growth, you don’t have to go outside, or spend money, or invest much time. Mirror work is a free exercise, available to anyone. All you really need is the mirror.

If you’re looking for a simple, practical, and deeply transformative method that can become a daily ritual on your path to self-love, just go to the bathroom.

Mirror Work, or Mirror Work, was a method originally developed by spiritual teacher Louise Hay as a way to get in touch with the inner self. The primary purpose of mirror work is to develop self-love, take care of oneself and establish more meaningful relationships with other people. By simply looking in the mirror for a period of time each day and gently talking to yourself, you can foster a more compassionate and forgiving connection with yourself.

Exercise

Sit or stand in front of a mirror for five minutes. Simply look at yourself and maintain gentle eye contact. That is all you need to do.

How do you feel after those five minutes?

If you are like most people, you may feel uncomfortable. You may feel awkward, uneasy, or even emotional. You may even notice self-hatred and self-criticism popping into your head… Why is this happening?

Louise Hay writes in her book Mirror Work, “The mirror only reflects the thoughts you have about yourself. It makes you immediately aware of where you are struggling and where you are instead open and free-flowing. It shows you clearly what thoughts you will need to change if you want to have a joyful and fulfilling life.”

In other words, there is no hiding from the mirror. In front of the mirror we catch an intimate (and sometimes painful) glimpse into the relationship we have with ourselves. Working with the mirror can be unsettling at first because it exposes our inner critic to the light of day. Suddenly, everything we feel about ourselves that we may not even be aware of comes to the surface.

And if you haven’t yet developed a compassionate relationship with yourself, you may be inclined to believe all the nastiness your inner critic whispers in your ear.

Spiritual awakening and mirror work

As a symbol of truth and clarity, mirrors are one of the oldest and most direct ways to approach self-realization.

Some of the earliest uses of mirrors date back to Anatolia (Turkey), 6000-8000 BC.

Ancient mirrors were made of obsidian, which symbolizes spiritual purification, integration of inner shadows and protection. By using the mirror to consciously access the inner layers of our being, we gently remove blocks and untie issues hindering our ability to grow and evolve. Working with a mirror can actually facilitate a deepening of our spiritual awakening process.

Working with the mirror and reconnecting with the inner child

Another reason why mirror work can make us feel uncomfortable is that it reveals vulnerable and neglected parts of ourselves. But what better opportunity is there to finally bring that forgotten part to our attention?

Most of us have many neglected inner parts, but the most common one we are disconnected from is the inner child. The inner child is the part of us that still retains childlike wonder, spontaneity, creativity and joy. On the other hand, it also holds many of our primal wounds and traumas.

Mirror work is an intense and effective way to reconnect with this subtle part of ourselves.

When you look in the mirror and try to reconnect with your inner child, it is not uncommon to feel a sense of sadness wash over you. You may also experience unexpected bursts of excitement or joy. But it is usually common to experience the heavier and more unpleasant emotions first.

While this kind of work can be unsettling and unpleasant at times, these feelings point to a deeper process that is alchemizing on a subconscious level. Simply looking at yourself in the mirror, and comforting your inner child, can be a tremendously healing practice. The more emotions you experience, the more powerful the cleansing and transformation.

The mirror as a portal into your soul

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and working with a mirror gives you direct access. However, it is not always possible to connect with your inner self right away. Most people first experience a harsh inner critic that they must process first before they can get to a deeper level of their psyche.

To handle that harsh gatekeeper, you must learn to disarm it with mindfulness and compassion. Self-love is vital to overcoming your insecurities and resentments.

How do you know if you are reconnecting with your Soul? Your face will soften emotionally, your eyes will become warmer and more compassionate, a gentle smile will enter your face, and your body will lighten energetically. You may also feel as if you are mentally hugging yourself.

As magical and mystical as it may sound, using mirror work as a portal to the mind and soul is actually quite natural. It is a return to yourself.

How to do inner mirror work

There is no “official” method of mirror work, only recommendations that you can adapt to suit yourself. Here are some of the basic principles of mirror work that you should keep in mind if you want to create your own procedure:

Use affirmations that are appropriate for you.

Take at least 2 minutes each day to do this.

Work with the mirror in private so that you are not disturbed.

It is normal to be emotional in the beginning. Just observe it and let it pass through you.

Keep a journal about this work and write down any remarkable experiences.

PROCEDURE

1. Do it regularly.

Mirror work triggers inner transformation when done consistently, over a long period of time. Ten minutes or more a day is ideal. Most people prefer to work with the mirror early in the morning, or late at night before bed.

2. Create your own affirmations.

Affirmations are the antidote to destructive self-talk. They help to reprogram our minds. When we use affirmations, we are affirming something we like about ourselves or something good we wish to reinforce. The best affirmation for you is one that really speaks to your theme, one that you have chosen and come up with yourself.

For example, if you feel ugly, you might say to yourself: “I have a beautiful heart and soul.”

Anything that feels natural to you and that you can believe. If you feel uncomfortable in your own presence, you can say to yourself: “It’s okay to feel uncomfortable. I accept myself as I am.”

Here are some other helpful examples that you can adapt to suit yourself:

• I love you.
• I will take care of you.
• I deserve love.
• I am exactly who I need to be at this moment.
• I accept my feelings.
• I am strong.
• I trust in my natural wisdom and intuition.
• I trust myself.
• I am an eternal spiritual being.
• I can do this.

If you create your own affirmations, make sure you formulate them without negatives and without destructive statements. For example, instead of describing your fear, use a statement about your courage.

Many practitioners who work with affirmations, as well as spiritual teachers, agree that the subconscious mind and the Universe do not understand negatives. Therefore, they will translate any negatively worded affirmation backwards.

Rather than “I am not worthless,” say, “I am very valuable.”

Instead of saying, “I won’t be mean to myself,” say, “I treat myself kindly.”

The point of affirmations is not to be false, fake, or coercive. If you really can’t say “I love you” to yourself in the mirror, then don’t do it. It’s not about being fake, it’s about offering yourself genuine love and empowering yourself. If an affirmation like “I love and accept myself” seems too difficult, focus on a gentler affirmation like “I am learning to love and accept myself and I know I can do it”.

3. Speak your affirmation with feeling

Repeat your affirmation at least 10 times, out loud or in your head. Some therapists recommend up to 100 times, but that’s too much for a beginner. So focus on quality rather than quantity.

The more you repeat your affirmation sincerely, with focus and feeling, the more profound the impact will be. Then you only need to say it a few times and stick to that. You can always add more when you want to.

It is also important to look yourself straight in the eye when saying an affirmation. You may also want to use your name because it sends a stronger message to your subconscious mind.

4. Accept any emotions that come up.

If you feel the need to cry, cry. You are releasing stagnant energy, old patterns, and that is good. You may also want to hug yourself.

Sometimes the emotions we feel when working with a mirror are stored from childhood, especially if they are very intense. If this is the case, comfort your inner child by acknowledging it internally while you look in the mirror. You may want to say words like, “It’s okay, I see you, I understand you,” “I’m here for you.”

Feeling and expressing emotions will probably be more difficult for men than for women. Men are used to seeing stoicism as the true measure of their masculinity, but the truth is that being stoic at all costs can sometimes be confused with emotional repression. There is nothing courageous or healthy about avoiding emotions. If you’re a man, you’ll need extra reassurance and compassion at this stage of the work. Have some powerful affirmations at hand and a willingness to see your emotional openness as a healing process.

5. Put your hand on your heart.

Sometimes mirror work can be particularly intense. If you are overwhelmed by an experience, you can always walk away and come back to it later.

Often, however, what is just dumped into your conscious mind is the right amount that you can currently handle (this is, after all, the job of the psyche and the ego). To help you process any strong feelings and calm yourself down, place your hand gently on your heart. This simple thing will help you stay connected to your inner love.

6. It is important to keep a journal while working with the mirror.

Don’t worry about what kind of writer you are. Ignore spelling and grammar, they are irrelevant. The point of recording your discoveries is to help you mentally integrate what you have learned and what you have discovered. You don’t have to write out long paragraphs if it doesn’t suit you. Simply write a sentence or two.

Record how you feel and what thoughts or feelings arise within you. It is important to write down things that were strong and unusual. By keeping a journal, you will be able to track your development and progress. You will have something to refer back to and think about in the future.

Strange New World (blast off time)

Strange New World (blast off time)

By Whitney

Posted on May 23, 2023

For many of us on the Ascension journey, the light is finally dawning on us that we are truly entering a new world. This means that we can no longer think, feel, and behave in our old ways. It’s these old ways that have kept us in the old world—and it’s these old ways that must be replaced with the new. We must break free of our pasts if we want to step into the radically new cosmic future.

As with the analogy of the fruit falling from the tree when it’s ripe, we naturally ascend into higher states of consciousness as we deeply understand ourselves and life. This comes about as we fully see through the limitations of our limited perceptions, pains, and actions. We then finally move out of a healing state and into a healed one. As we do so, we become ready to submit to the Divine Order and to begin flowing with its gracious and ever intelligent patterns and rhythms—and it’s the jumping-off point to Ascension. This is a profound evolutionary process that unfolds over time, and it can’t be forced—it can only be allowed as our inner beings ripen under the light of the Grand Spiritual Sun.

Now, at this most exciting time, there are many souls who are completing their healing journeys and are preparing to merge with the new world. And this is where things get strange. 

The behavioral patterns that used to govern us don’t seem to get us anywhere anymore. Our maps, compasses, tools, and old haunts just stop guiding us, and we’re left directionless. It’s as if the world is walking forwards but we’re now walking backwards. Nothing and no one makes sense anymore. When this occurs, it’s then time to exclusively listen to the inaudible whispers of the heart as the new way of operating. These whispers are the voice of our higher minds and this is what will guide us toward all that is wondrously and inconceivably new.

So what is this new world? The new world is a field of super consciousness, or pure light, and it imbues us with crystal clear perceptions, magnetic joy, radiant wellbeing, and pure fiery-charged actions. We can no longer force, cajole, or stress our way through life. These survival tactics won’t work anymore. It’s only through letting go of the directives and mechanisms of our old selves, our “ego minds”, that we step into our creative and ingenious higher minds which interface with and give rise to this enlightened reality.

In short, the laws of the new world are different than the old one. The new world is built on a foundation of eternal spiritual truths, not ill-devised man-made ones. So let’s allow ourselves to open up to these spiritual truths now: when we shift away from being materially concerned, we become surprisingly abundant; when we stop forcing circumstances, our lives begin to serendipitously flow; when we surrender our problems, divine opportunities and messengers appear; when we disavow misery from our experience, we feel the fundamental bliss of our beings; when we no longer anxiously cling to life, it miraculously opens up and shows us a kind alternative.

Whatever the old world demands to be true or tells us to do, we must know and do the opposite. We must allow ourselves to recognize that we’ve been duped not only by many of our (often times well-meaning) political, spiritual, and thought leaders, but by our communities, families and ourselves. The old world is plagued by a pandemic of spiritual ignorance and we must become immune to it by waking up.

For those of us who are ready, we are leaping across the great divide that has separated our personal consciousnesses from the vast ocean of cosmic wisdom and grace that the new world is made of. There’s no turning back—nor would we want to.

Within the cosmos, the new world has always existed, but it’s now becoming visible to those who are awakening. Here on earth, this field of super consciousness is ready to hold those ripe individuals who are dropping away from the old world. We are invited now to embrace, and even relish, the strangeness of this transition as we move through it. Completing and saying goodbye to our pasts, we begin to dance with the Divine Order. Its movements are different and highly unusual for us. Yet this is a wholly exciting and thrilling time that we are stepping into and that we are moving in step with. Let’s say yes to the strangeness. Let’s get wild with Ascension. Let’s go!

The Cloning Reality

The Cloning Reality

By Kabamur

Posted on May 20, 2023

I want to take a moment to remind everyone about the biggest deception being perpetrated on the human race. No one talks about it, because people don’t believe it could be real – rapid human cloning. From this deception, every other deception is made possible.

The information I share comes directly from Judith’s telepathic Pleiadian contact. It can’t be researched on the internet. This information will contradict other information you’ve heard. But if you consider what I’m saying, it will make more sense than anything else.

First, a reminder that years before any conspiracy theorists talked about doubles or actors in masks, I was here talking about cloning. Still, many people reject this information because it’s too strange.

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” ― Mark Twain

Rapid cloning was given to the US military in the 1950s by Zeta Greys, on behalf of negative Orion Reptilians. The military industrial complex is controlled by a satanic cabal that allowed elites to use this technology to their advantage.

From a person’s DNA, they can grow a duplicate body in 5 months. They can transfer memories to a cloned body and program it with speech patterns and mannerisms. The clone is a biological duplicate without DNA, without the ability to reproduce, sometimes with added technology.

A clone is not an exact match. Because our appearance is a result of both genetics and years of experiences in life, there are physical differences between the clones.

The first celebrities were cloned for financial gain in the 1970s, and it spread to politics in the 1990s. By the 2000s, it was everywhere in media and industry.

It started with the military and is done in black site NSA facilities worldwide. Only black hats use cloning, never white hats. It’s about money and control. There are many A-list celebrities that use clones in movies, or to perform on stage.

Not everyone who uses clones is a satanist, some were just tricked into thinking they could achieve immortality. Some good people have been replaced with evil clones.

In the modern era, there have been many secret arrests, and the cabal uses clones to replace their own. Nobody will disclose cloning because it’s too hard for regular people to believe.

There is no show of white hats using doubles or clones. White hats arrest, black hats replace their own. No one wants to tell us the truth, for different reasons.

People like Trump have hinted about it, saying that people like Biden, Xi, and Putin are ‘different men’ and ‘look different’, ‘doesn’t know he’s alive’ or using words like ‘puppet’.

There are many clones dispersed through the populations of many countries, who are very docile and obedient citizens. This is what the cabal wants for the planet.

The black and bruised eyes can signify cloning updates. They connect technology to the brain through the eye and transfer new information to the clone. Only important clones in media, politics or industry are updated.

They still use the eye, but now some clones are updated through their foot. This is why some notable people wear orthopedic boots or are seen limping.

Cloning doesn’t involve parasites called vril. This is fiction introduced by someone named Donald Marshall. It’s a completely technological process. The vril narrative just makes cloning harder to believe.

The clone is never the original person. Humans are souls and clones are soul-less. There can be clones alongside a living person, or replacing the original person. The Soul is always with the original body.

There is no consciousness transfer. Your consciousness resides with your soul. It cannot be put into another body by humans. The clone is always a separate person. Only memories can be transferred.

To my knowledge, Pleiadians are the only source who have accurately disclosed rapid human cloning. The disclosure community has become an echo chamber of fake information, with no discernment about the sources.

Joe Biden is a clone. The original was executed. The Obamas are cloned. The Clintons are cloned. If only the truthers understood most of these people have already been removed they could find more peace.

Joe Biden was an old man, and the process of cloning an old man over and over, produces only senile clones. There are no actors trying to entertain us, and no white hats giving away secret plans.

The hardest part is understanding there won’t be any public announcement about cloning or mass arrests until the Shift. None of this can be known before ascension because it would lead to mass chaos and violence worldwide.

The flip side of this is that Galactic Federation is allowing dark forces to lie to us because they want us to awaken to the deception on our own. This reality is a test. We always have moral free will whether or not we have secret disclosure information.

Clones won’t shift because clones aren’t real people with souls. When the Shift happens, this reality will be only evil people and clones. A new trans-humanist world order will take over this 3D Earth while ascended humans live in paradise on the parallel 5D Earth (Sheen).
