We felt very drawn to these deeply satisfying ceremonies and self-attunements that you can perform to open yourself with ease and grace to the infinite Source of Love. They provide much needed ways for us to connect directly with our divine essence and initiate multi-dimensional spiritual healing. By enabling you to develop an intimate relationship with your higher wisdom, these ceremonies will make it easier for you to focus and magnify your intent with the universe's help, so that you can manifest the deepest desires of your heart. Jane White also shares what she has learned about how to communicate with your higher self, and how to recognise and interpret responses received through inspiration. She also describes an ancient healing technique, passed on from the ascended masters, for touching deeper levels of consciousness via the dense, cellular energy of your body: by invoking the violet flame and scanning your body's reaction to simple statements, you can discover and shift energetic blockages. With ceremonies suited to both individual and group work, including work with healing light, crystals, past lives, psychic attachments, chakra balancing, forgiveness and ancestral patterns, Open to Love provides a wealth of inspiration for spiritual adventurers.

[Extract]

One day my husband looked at me very intently and said, ‘I’d like to be able to give you some healing. Can you help me do it?’

I was stunned. Paul considers himself an atheist and has never shown any inclination to explore his spirituality. Although he is one  of the most compassionate and caring men I have ever had the privelidge to meet, and he is undoubtedly and  ‘old soul’ who intuitively understands spiritual laws, his earthly self is adamant that, unless scientific evidence proves to the contrary, and existence beyond the physical dimension we inhabit is not worth debating.

When I took my first tentative steps in spiritual healing, I often used him as a guinea pig, which allowed the skeptic in him to experience energy firsthand. His rational, logical mind could not deny that the unexpected warmth flowing through my hands into his body brought relaxation and comfort.

On asking him for his view of this phenomenon, his answer came typically from the heart: ‘It’s about loving people. If we care enough, then we should be able to help one another  by transferring loving thoughts between us. We just need to know how to do it.’ I was not going to quibble over his beautiful explanation.

My delight at his request was diminished momentarily when he added, ‘But, no disrespect intended, I don’t want to go on courses or do any of that reiki stuff!’ This presented me with a dilemma: how could we achieve his objective without us following the ‘rules’ already laid down by experienced people in books an manuals?

Even though I had completed a range of healing courses and, despite a few raised eyebrows, had undertaken a reiki master’s degree via the computer, I did not feel like a bona fide teacher. Nor did I really understand prescribed symbols and rituals sufficiently well to ‘attune’ someone else to a recognised system. I also had to take into account Paul’s desire not to be actively involved in any complicated esoteric ritual: for him it would smack too much of embarrassing metaphysical shenanigans.

Having recently been encouraged to adopt what might be described as a do-it-yourself approach to my spirituality, a solution rapidly came to mind: we could connect directly with the infinite richness of the cosmos by ourselves in our own homemade ‘attunement’ or ceremony. I didn’t give it a second thought. It seemed the most natural thing to do.

Paul agreed to leave the details to me so, relishing the chance to embark on a new venture, I sat down and wrote out a form of working which seemed suitable for us. Excitement galloped around in my stomach: this was going to be much more ambitious than anything I had attempted before but instinctively I knew we had, as the saying goes,  to fly by the seat of our pants.

Come  the afternoon in question, I suggested Paul he sit quietly, close his eyes,  be willing to receive whatever might present itself and allow me to get on with what I wished to do. The room was very still and the lighting subdued as we both, in our own way, put our requests to the universe.

I stood behind his chair and then, moving around him as the mood took me, went through ‘God’s Gift: Opening  to heal’ (see Chapter 4) in my head. On reaching the end I returned to my original position and paused in anticipation.

Paul’s voice broke the silence: ‘What next?’
Without a moment’s hesitation I pointed to my back and indicated where he might place his hands. He did as asked and I staggered forward a couple of paces, nearly bumping into  a wall due to the sheer force of energy which was channeled into my body.

We both stared at one another in amazement. Whatever had transpired during our little ceremony, one thing was certain: mission was accomplished, with bells on!

Life, as we know, has habit of throwing up challenges, some pleasurable, some not so immediately welcome. When it boils down to it, they all point to a clear brief for each of us: to rediscover the light of pure or unconditional love in every fibre of our being and to integrate as much of our spiritual essence as we can.

How you do this will take you on your  own very special journey which, at one time or another, will probably involve some manner of healing. That may, for instance, involve offering friendship to  the lost  and lonely, accepting others’ differences or helping people struggling to make sense of their soul’s choices.

For many, the road to abundant vitality may also include  learning to honor themselves through the blessing of sickness. How often have we heard it said that disease could become a rarity if we each allowed love to fill our hearts to overflowing?

Attaining and maintaining sparkling health should be so effortless - and it can be -  but if you are one of those individuals for whom it turns out to be somewhat harder than you expected (and I count myself in here), it is absolutely true that a demanding job can bring out the best in us and provide us with the greatest opportunities for growth.

Enjoying whatever fires our imagination or stimulates our senses keeps us bright-eyed and bushy-tailed too. Sometimes though, the spark splutters and ultimately fizzles out. Dwindling hope - maybe from a lack of affection, income, options, companionship, satisfying employment or a secure spiritual bond - or having personal convictions which cause us to settle for a daily grind, can all take their toll. Reigniting our flames of passion may not seem like healing, but that in effect is what it is. It allows us to pick ourselves up out of our ruts and recapture our joie de vivre.

Healing, then, or harnessing the power of love to make positive change, is relevant to everyone, no matter what their background or situation. So, considering it has such huge benefits, how can we become better at it?

The answer is plain enough: through opening to the infinite Source of Love, described variously as God/Goddess/All That Is/Great Central Sun/Source/The Creator/Your greater good,etc (throughout this book use whichever you are comfortable with).

In  nutshell that means accessing more and more of your own divine self. Facets of you exist on numerous levels within ‘dimensions’ or continuum of consciousness. By re-establishing a mindful link with them, integrating some of their energetic resonances, and the bringing everything into balance, you can draw upon enormous depths of compassion and creativity you may not yet realise you have at your fingertips.

This is what may be called ‘multi-dimensional’ healing, for restoration to wholeness does not take place only on the earth plane: repercussions of what you do in this dimension impact on your presence in each of the other dimensions. Such healing involves exploring the intelligence of eternal Love, the divine Light within you which connects you with your children, partner, friends, animals, angels, crystals, faeries, Gaia, ascended masters, cosmic energies, the elohim and so on -- in other words with the entirety of creation.

Multi-dimensional healing also encourages you to expand your mind and heart until you really comprehend why, as divine beings, we are each cherished, we are all as one, and we are worthy of the finest this and further worlds have to offer.

My interest in healing grew from letting go of chronic illness. Rather than depending on others to sort out my problems for me, I was directed to stand on my own two feet and take back the power I was forever giving away. Bolstered by the success of Paul’s attunement and following my intuition, I devised a series of simple ceremonies which, despite their lack of obvious complexity, proved utterly transformational. I entered realms I had never dreamed of and within comparatively short period began at long last to appreciate the gift of experiencing Spirit through a human body.

The time has now come to share some of these attunments together with the concepts behind them so that you can make your own informed choices. I’m also including a scattering of personal anecdotes to help put them into context.

Blessed by the ascended realms Love and Light to carry high vibrational energy for anyone who chooses to work with them, these attunments are intended for initiating new phases of learning and healing according to your truth and reality. You can take them as they are, once or several times, or you can adapt them as you see fit. They can be used to great effect by groups too. (As humanity continues to evolve, the coming together of enlightened people with a common purpose that is underpinned by unconditional love will accomplish far greater achievements than has been possible in the past.)

It does not matter how precisely or vaguely you incorporate the ceremonies into your life. I feel it is my job merely to point out possibilities, to suggest different, perhaps unconventional, ways of developing yourself which will appeal to the adventurer in you.

They are designed to be fun tools which enable you to develop an intimate relationship with your higher wisdom. It is my hope that they inspire you to go on and create your own, thereby demonstrating for yourself how immeasurably powerful, precious and remarkable a being of Love you are.

Blessings as Always.
