ABOUT Alien ET UFO Community as The Ace Metaphysical School 2012

Preparation Project for Teachers of the Ascension Age ~

By Theresa J. Thurmond Morris

Alien ET UFO Community Communication will be the shares of all of us as we find ways to execute our new awakened awareness in various Ascension Scales in the Ebb and Flow.

Lost Souls

I am writing this especially for my oldest daughter on earth. Her name is Angela Dawn and has just crossed over on Fay Day, March 17, 2012 back over to the Light Fey Workers.

She has been a Lost Girl. Fay and FEY mean the same thing in the world of spirits. We are all spirits in a matter of speaking in the energy essence terminology in science as neutrons and electrons, quarks etc.

Some of us shared classes throughout the last half of the last century. If you were not old enough to experience these shares, some of you may enjoy the cliff notes as shares we attempted to use to enter the higher levels as essence with our conscious memories… If you are interested in how we in the old hippie new age generation use to get high on life with the Tantra matrix, ascension matrix, the ascension chart of chakras, etc…

We are all hybrids in one form or another. .. My memories are my own as is my own spirit and soul. I do have soul group mates who challenge me to be more than I have become thus far on this planet. I also challenge them to become more and to do more while on this planet.

Avatar Ascension Masters aka Agashan Shaman Masters

We use tools to assist us as Life Coaches and Spiritual Intuitive Counselors while on earth to share with others who are in need of our moral support.

It is a custom among our kind as Avatars and Agashan Ascension Masters who choose to return from time to time to continue our world and work. Not everyone on earth is at levels of ascension to understand the comparisons as it should be. Sparks are ignited on various levels in various worlds and universes.

There is much of our heritage among the ET UFO Community that was preserved by those in INDIA and the legends and myths as religions and oral traditional stories.

The Indians were the closest spiritually to receiving the ET and their wars of the past long after Lemurians and Atlantians existed.

We are going to now share more ways to explore our expectations of self-approval and self-doubt and others. We all exist for reawakening that which was recognition of our soul’s core expressing our existence. This is the Ascension Age.

ASCENSION CENTER ORGANIZATION ENLIGHTENMENT – AURA CLEANSING – DNA ACTIVATION

Everyone has an aura. Some humankind have already seen or experienced the auric fields of others. The problem is that most people ignore the experience or chalk it up to something that it is not. Mystics from all parts of the world speak of seeing lights around people’s heads, but you do not have to be a mystic to see the aura. Anyone can learn to see and experience the aura more effectively. There is nothing magical about the process. It involves recognizing it for what it is and not ignoring the experience. It simply involves a little understanding, time, practice and perseverance.

Children are very good at seeing and experiencing the aura. Those experiences are often translated into their drawings. Around the figures, they will shade in unusual and different colors.

These colors often reflect the subtle energies they have observed around what they are drawing. Have You Experienced the Auric Energy Field? For instance;

1. When you are around some people do you feel drained? 2. Do you associate certain colors with people? (For example, “Do you feel blue today?”) 3. Have you ever felt when someone was staring at you? 4. Have you ever been able to sense how someone is feeling, in spite of how this person was acting? 5. Do certain sounds, colors and fragrances make you feel more comfortable or uncomfortable? 6. Do you find that some people excite or energize you more than others? 7. Are some rooms more comfortable and enjoyable to be in than others? Do you notice the difference in one room from the next? Did you ever notice how your brother’s/sister’s room feels different from yours? How about your parent’s or children’s?

The human aura is the energy field that surrounds the physical body. It surrounds you in all directions. It is three dimensional. In a healthy individual, in size approximately 3-7 feet in circumference depends on one’s healthy vibrations. It can be a protection or and alert system when someone invades your space or aural. For trained spiritual military it expands 8-12 feet. Such as the force in Star Wars which extends universally. It makes an elliptical or egg shape about the body. I have heard it proposed that the auras of the ancient masters could extend outward from the body for several miles. It is often believed that this is one of the reasons they could draw such large numbers of followers in any area where they traveled. It is worth noting that a common depiction of many masters included the halo, a portion of the aura that is most easily seen by the average in-tune individual.

Ascension Center Enlightenment Aura Building Exercises:

The aura is weakened by: 1. Poor diet 2. Lack of exercise 3. Lack of fresh air 4. Lack of rest 5. Stress 6. Alcohol 7. Drugs 8. Tobacco 9. Negative habits 10. Improper psychic activity

FEELING AND EXPERIENCING SUBTLE ENERGIES

Pay attention to anything that you might feel. How close do you come to the forearm before you can feel the energy from it? Remember that the feeling may be one of pressure, heat, coolness, thickness etc. It will feel much like what you experienced between your hands. It may not be as strong, but you should be able to feel it. If you cannot, slowly repeat it.

Remember that you are reawakening your ability to consciously be aware of the subtle energies around you.

The Meaning of Colors

Color can be constructive or destructive. It can stimulate or depress, repel or attract. It can even be male or female in its character. It can reflect positive or negative, and when perceived within the aura it provides a key to the personality, moods, maturity and health of the individual. It reflects physical and spiritual aspects. It takes a great deal of practice to interpret the color shades seen within the aura. Each color has its general characteristic, but each shade of that color changes that characteristic a little.

The location of the color, the intensity and even the from the color takes in the auric field must be considered. This text is not intended to provide all of the subtle nuances of color interpretation within the auric field. You will examine basic colors and the energies they commonly indicate on physical and other levels. This gives you a starting point to begin to understand what is revealed by the colors of the aura. The colors closest to the body reflect aspects of the individual’s physical condition. They also indicate those energies manifesting and energies further away often indicate the energy that the person will be able to determine time elements of certain energy patterns by the color and the location of the color with respect to the physical body.

The Rainbow colors

Red

Red is the color of strong energy, fire and primal creative force. It is the life-promoting energy. It is hot. It can indicate strong passion, mind and will. It is a dynamic color that can reflect anger, love, hate and unexpected changes. It can indicate new birth and transmutation. It is a color that affects the circulatory system of the body, the reproductive system (sexual energy) and an awakening of latent abilities and talents. Too much red or muddiness can reflect over-stimulation, inflammation or imbalance. It may reflect nervousness, temper, aggression, impulsiveness or excitement.

Orange

Orange is the color of warmth, creativity and emotions. It is an indication of courage, joy and specialness. It is a color which can reflect an opening of new awareness-especially to the subtle realms (the astral plane) of life.

Depending on the shade, it can also indicate emotional imbalances and agitation. Some of the muddier shades of orange can reflect pride and flamboyance. It may reflect worry and vanity.

Yellow

Yellow is one of the first and the easiest aura colors to be seen. Pale yellow around the hairline can indicate optimism. Yellow is the color of mental activity and new sunshine. It can reflect new learning opportunities, lightness, wisdom and intellect. The more pastel shades often reflect wisdom and intellect. The more pastel shades often reflect an enthusiasm for something (especially in the pale yellow to white spectrum). Yellow is a color which represents the power of ideas and awakening psychic abilities and clairsentience. Deeper and muddier shades of yellow can reflect excessive thinking and analyzing. It can reflect being overly critical, feeling of being deprived of recognition and being dogmatic.

Green

Green is the color of sensitivity and growing compassion. It reflects growth, sympathy and calm. It can reflect a person who is reliable, dependable and open-minded. Bright green moving toward the blue spectrum in the aura indicates healing ability. It is a color of abundance, strength and friendliness

The muddier or darker shades of green can reflect uncertainty and miserliness. The muddier shades often reflect jealousy and possessiveness as well. It can indicate self-doubt and mistrust.

Blue

Blue, next to yellow, is one of the easiest colors to see in the aura. It is the color of calm and quietness. It reflects devotion, truth and seriousness. It can indicate the ability for clairaudience and for the development of telepathy.

The lighter shades of blue reflect an active imagination and good intuition. The deeper shades of blue can indicate a sense of loneliness, which on one level reflects a life-long quest for the Divine. The deeper shades of blue reflect levels of devotion.

Royal blue shades indicate the person has found or is about to find his or her chosen work.

The muddier shades of blue can reflect blocked perceptions. They can indicate melancholy, rushing and worrying, domineering, fearfulness, forgetfulness and oversensitivity.

Indigo

Violet and Purple Violet is the color of warmth and transmutation. It is the color for the blending of the heart and the mind, the physical with the spiritual. It reflects independence and intuition, as well as dynamic and important dream activity.

Violet can reflect one who is searching. Truthseekers wear hues of violet.

The purple shades often reflect an ability to handle affairs with practicality and worldliness. The paler and lighter shades of violet and purple can reflect humility and spirituality. The red-purple shades can indicate great passion strength of will. They may also reflect a need for greater individual effort. The darker and muddier shades can reflect a need to overcome something. They can also reflect intense erotic imaginations as well.

Tendencies toward being overbearing, needing sympathy and feeling misunderstood are also reflected in muddier shades. Other Colors of the Aura

Pink

Pink is a color of compassion, love and purity. It can reflect joy and comfort and a strong sense of companionship. When seen in the aura, it can indicate the quiet, modest type of individual, along with a love of art and beauty. Depending on the shade of pink, it can also reflect an immaturity, especially the muddier shades. It can reflect truthfulness or a lack of it. It can also reflect times of new love and new vision.

Gold

Gold is a color that reflects dynamic spiritual energy and a true coming into one’s own power. It reflects the higher energies of devotion and great inspiration. It indicates a time of revitalizing.

Muddier shades of gold can indicate the person is still in the process of awakening higher inspiration and has not clarified it yet within his/her life. It reflects the alchemical process still being active; i.e.’ the person is still working to turn the lead of his/her life into gold. White White is often seen in the aura, prior to any actual colors.

It is often seen as diaphanous shades.

White

White has all colors within it, and when it does appear strongly within the aura, it is often in conjunction with other colors. This is how you can know whether it is an actual energy color or just a poor perception of the aura. When the white does stand out as a color in the aura, it reflects truth and purity. It indicates that the energy of the individual is cleansing and purifying itself. It often reflects an awakening of greater creativity as well.

The Grey Aliens

Grey

Gray is a color of initiation.

Out of body experience (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

It can indicate a movement toward unveiling innate abilities.

Those shades of gray that lean more toward the silver reflect an awakening of the feminine energies. Those are the energies and abilities of illumination, intuition and creative imagination. The darker shades of gray can indicate physical imbalances, especially if seen next to specific areas of the physical body.

They can also indicate a need to leave no task undone. Much gray in the aura can indicate a person who is secretive and who is the lone wolf type. Brown Brown often appears in the auric field. Although many people think of as reflecting a lack of energy or an imbalance, this is not always so. Brown is the color of the earth. When it shown itself in the aura, especially in areas above the head and around the feel, it can reflect new growth. It indicates establishing new roots and a desire to accomplish.

It is a color that can reflect industry and organization.

On the other hand, brown across the face or touching the head may indicate a lack of and need for discrimination. It seen in the areas of the chakras, it can indicate that those centers need to be cleaned. It will reflect in such cases a clogging of their energies. Brown is often difficult to interpret, as it can easily reflect problem areas in the physical, but you must be careful about jumping to conclusions when you see it. Feedback from the other person is the best means of understanding it.

Black

Black is one of the most confusing of colors in the Alien ET UFO Community Auric Spectrum.

I have heard individuals say that, when black shows up in the aura, it is an indication of death or terrible disease. I have not found that to be true.

Black is a color of protection. It is a color which can shield an individual from outside energies. When seen in the aura, it can reflect that the person is protecting himself or herself. It can also indicate that person has secrets. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as it is not taken to extremes.

Black can also indicate that a new understanding of burdens and sacrifices is going to manifest. Black can also indicate imbalances.

Physical imbalances often show up as black or darkened areas in the aura around the physical body. The location provides clues to this. In the outer edges of the aura, black can indicate holes in the auric field.

I have seen this in the auras of those who were victims of child abuse and those who are or were strong substance abusers (alcohol, drugs, tobacco etc.).

Silver

Silver Speckles some see as stardust or twinkling’s. The rhythm that is most effective for you and then build upon it. Learn to envision stardust into your own being with your breath.

Prana

Prana – Breath of Light and Life – We cannot live if we do not breathe.

1. Learn to breathe properly. Begin with your right thumb and fingers over your nose and exhale. Place your tongue against the roof of your mouth behind your front teeth.

2. Use your thumb and close your right nostril; then inhale through your left nostril for a slow count of four.

3. Keeping your right nostril closed, clamp your fingers down over your left nostril, pinching your nose closed between your thumb and fingers. Hold for a court of 16. (If you have never performed any concentrated rhythmic breathing, the count of 16 may be too long for you. If this is the case, reduce it or count faster. With practice, you will develop the ability to hold your breath for more extended periods. Try inhaling for a exhaling for a count of three. Work to find the rhythm that is most effective for you and then build upon it.)

4. Release your thumb, opening your right nostril. Keep your left nostril closed with your fingers. Exhale slowly out through your right nostril for a count of eight.

5. Release your nose; raise your left hand up and, with your thumb, close off your left nostril. Inhale for a count of four through your right nostril and then clamp your fingers closed on it. Hold for a count of 16.

6. Release your thumb and your left nostril. Keep your right nostril clamped with your fingers. Exhale for a slow count of eight through your left nostril.

7. Repeat four to five breaths, alternating each side. Breathe in one nostril, hold and exhale out the other. Reverse it and repeat the procedure. Do at least four to five breaths for each side for a quick pick-me-up. This will saturate your entire body and aura with quick energy.

THE LIGHTWORKERS CLEANSING VORTEX:

This exercise is a visualization exercise for cleansing and purifying your entire auric field. It is an excellent exercise to perform at the end of a day, especially at those times when you have interacted with a great many people. It helps sweep out energy debris, preventing it from accumulating and creating imbalance within the auric field. It only takes about five minutes to be effective.

1. Take a seated position and perform a progressive relaxation. Performing the breathing technique just described is beneficial as a preparation for this exercise. You may want to use a simple prayer or mantra as well. Remember that the exercise as presented here is a guideline, and you should learn to adapt it to your own energies.

2. About 20 feet above you, in your mind’s eye, visualize a small whirlwind of crystalline white fire beginning to form. It looks like a small; visualize it so that it is large enough to encompass your entire auric field.

The small end of the funnel should be visualized as capable of entering through the crown of your head and passing down the middle pillar of your body.

3. This whirlwind of spiritual fire should be seen as rotating and spinning clockwise. As it touches your aura, see it as sucking up and burning off all of the energy debris you have accumulated.

4. See, fell and imagine it moving down, over and through your entire aura and body. Know that it is sweeping your energy field clean of all the extraneous energies you have accumulated throughout the day.

5. As it moves through your body, allow this energy vortex to exit out through your feet down into the heart of the earth itself. See the vortex as carrying this energy debris into the lower realms, where it is used to fertilize and benefit the lower kingdoms of life upon and within the planet. Benefits of DNA activation can range from allergy relief and increased energy to better relationships and renewed life purpose.

Since DNA regulates all physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being, the possibilities are endless!

According to the Archangel Metatron, some of the benefits include the following if one is interested in our higher powers to empower self and others.

These empower you to bring forth talents and abilities as yet unrealized. Enables you to have more energy.

Brings more clarity into your life.

Strengthens your immune system. Releases unconscious patterns stored within the physical body. Increases utilization of your inherent brain power. Creates greater opening for ongoing connection with your Higher Self.

Clears your individual and family karmic patterns and raises your own cellular vibration.

Raising Cellular Vibration.

RCV as Ascension Awakening is also DNA Activation

Benefits of DNA activation include: Increased energy and clarity a stronger immune system Use of more of your brain’s potential Greater efficiency of your nerves, skin, blood, respiratory system and muscles. Discovery of new talents and abilities Releases unconscious patterns Facilitates clearing of family and genetic karmic patterns Receive and hold more light in your physical body Aligns you to accomplish your purpose for this lifetime DNA Activation raises your vibrational frequency Physical : Increase desire for pure water intake. Body detoxifies and purifies Better nutrition/ less food Hair and nails grow faster Frequent lucid dreaming Feel younger as energy level increases Quickened capacity for self-healing Quicker manifestations Psychological : Keener sense of knowing Pace and calmness within “Old” truths and beliefs no longer work Enhanced self-trust and awareness Replacing “seeking” with “resolving” Precise use of language (“Conscious Language”)

Enhanced discernment Increased sensitivity, perceptions, and telepathy Relationships:

Seeing relationships more clearly attracting soul mates and soul families letting go of old stuff, people and things.

Inner Awareness and Self Discovery : Increased ability to face self-truths Finding answers that have meaning and clarity Transforming uncertainties into truths Staying focused in the moment Speaking your truth and expressing yourself DNA carries the blueprint to our physical and psychological makeup, storing memory of our genetic characteristics straight down the ancestral line.

It is believed that emotional and behavioral patterns are also inherited through DNA and via activation; any harmful or dysfunctional traits can be re-coded to clear the negative genetic patterning.

Living cells containing DNA produce their own electromagnetic activity.

Our physical body is already light; it just vibrates at a different frequency of Light to our other bodies that are not third dimensional.

Light Bodies

Our Light Bodies as energy and our own personal essence contains our memories of all enlightenment of the past, present, and future, in what we call time.

Some of us are younger spiritually than others.

This is a neutral thought.

We shall learn more about the possibility of harmony in neutral tranquility base as a real sea of tranquility for the release of toxic substances we can encounter in our immortal existences from the time we are created.

This lesson is one of that of the Ascension Center.

Love and Light TJ. Stay Tuned. We have our whole lives ahead of us in this and other realms of reality together as Lightworkers and Truthseekers.

LESSON ONE COLORS

What we design in our lives around our living and work place is up to us. We should treat our subtle energies as those which we can see as inspiring.

There are seven main energy centers (chakras) of the body.

These chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the others.

Seven colors of spectrum

Using the seven colors of the spectrum, Color Therapy aims to balance and enhance our body’s energy centers/chakras and also to help stimulate our body’s own healing process.

Color Therapy uses color to re-balance the Chakras that have become depleted of energy.

Color therapy can be shown to help on a physical level; however there are deeper issues around the colors on the psychological and spiritual levels. Color has a profound effect on us on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. If our energy centers become blocked or depleted, then our body cannot function properly and this, in turn, can lead to a variety of problems on any level.

Our wellbeing is not purely a physical issue. Many more practitioners are now treating patients in a holistic manner. That is to say, we are body, mind and spirit and none of these areas function entirely alone; each has an effect upon the other.

This is why Color Therapy can be so helpful since color addresses all levels of our being.

All life experiences have an effect upon us. Some experiences will be positive and some negative. It is these negative experiences which can manifest themselves physically over time as dis-ease. For example, perhaps over the years we have been in a situation where we have felt unable, for one reason or another, to speak our mind, or to express our needs and feelings. This can manifest as a problem in the throat chakra. The throat chakra relates in the spiritual aspect to self-expression. Thus, if our self-expression has been blocked, the energy in this area will not be free flowing. Working with the appropriate color/colors can help to dispel negative feelings, free blocks and re-balance the body. Listed below is each of the spectrum colors and the chakra which it relates to.

Meditation

There are many ways of meditating and meditation means different things to different people. Meditation is part of normal daily practice for a great number of people within some religions. Whatever the word ‘meditation’ means to you the practice can be enormously helpful as a way of calming the mind and finding your own inner peace. This place of inner peace is where we can open up to our higher self – without the ‘interference’ of the ego or intellect – where we can find our higher intelligence and knowing.

Meditation can be achieved by focusing the mind on a particular object, for example a flower, or on a simple shape, on a sound, on an image (visualization), or by focusing on the breathing. (Colour breathing exercises can be done lying down or sitting and can be a very helpful form of meditation.) There are many very helpful tapes and CD’s around to help with meditation as they will talk the listener through the stages of relaxation and some will help to build a ‘picture’ in the mind’s eye of tranquility. With practice, you will find it becomes easier and easier to meditate and to be able to ‘switch off’ anytime, anywhere, when you are feeling the need for some peace.

————————————————————————————————————————————–

Breathing

Breathing is very important – and as obvious as that sounds, it is surprising how few of us actually do breathe ‘properly’. Breathing is something we all take for granted and are inclined to forget about. However, shallow breathing can often be a symptom of stress. Similarly, shallow breathing can result in fatigue and stress due to the intake of insufficient oxygen. Shallow breathing can also result in dizzy turns as insufficient oxygen is getting to the brain. Since approximately 90% of our energy is created by oxygen and nearly all the body’s actions regulated by it – it is rather important that we get enough of it!!

Go somewhere quiet and lie down or sit in a chair with good back support so that your body is straight, allowing you to breathe deeply and comfortably. Make sure you are not wearing any tight clothing. Tell yourself to relax. Work on every part of your body from the top of your head to your toes, consciously relaxing each part. Concentrate on your breathing, taking deep in-breaths, through the nose, letting the breath fill your body, relaxing and calming. Then breathe out through your nose or mouth, exhaling all negativity and stress and ridding your body of the toxins which build up there. Repeat this number of times – if you can only manage 10 minutes that is fine. Eventually you will be able to practice this anywhere, anytime, when you are feeling stressed. Try not to hunch your shoulders as you breathe in – try to consciously relax the shoulders and neck and breathe from the abdomen – watch your tummy expand as you breathe in.

There are a number of breathing techniques which are taught by practitioners of different disciplines, either on a one to one basis or in a group, such as a workshop perhaps. If you have a particular medical problem, then a good place to start is with your doctor, who will be able to advise you.

Color Breathing

A lovely and very helpful exercise is Colour Breathing – or breathing in the rainbow. The purpose of this is to heighten our awareness of color and to encourage a balance of all the seven main chakra colors for our well-being.

Stand with feet slightly apart and arms by your side, relaxed with palms turned to the front. Relax the shoulders, and concentrate on your breathing, consciously relaxing all of your body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Breathe deeply in through the nose, holding for a few moments and then breathing out through the nose or mouth. As you breathe out, imagine expelling all the stress, negativity and toxins from your body. If you can do this exercise outside all the better, and, weather permitting, stand on grass with bare feet.

Affirmations, either spoken out loud or as a concentrated thought, can be helpful too to help us focus and avoid our minds from wandering. For example, red is the Colour of courage and strength – we could say to ourselves – the energy of red fills my body and I have the strength and courage to move forward along my life’s path. It doesn’t matter how we word our affirmations – they will be unique to each individual – but remember the positive aspects of the colors and make sure your statements are positive.

First breathe in red from the earth, imagine it rising up through your whole body giving you strength and courage. Make an affirmation to suit your situation as you breathe in and experience the color filling your body. Allow the color to travel up through the body and out of the top of the head and then back down again to the earth. Repeat with orange and an appropriate affirmation, then yellow. These first three colors are absorbed from the earth. Then green. This color is absorbed horizontally through the solar plexus, let it fill your body, thinking or speaking your affirmation, and let it leave through the back. Then blue which is absorbed from the sky, through the top of the head and out again going back up to the sky, similarly with the indigo and violet.

If this exercise is done daily you will notice how your color awareness develops and you will be able to visualize the colors much more strongly as you do this exercise regularly, balancing and enhancing your body’s energies.

Color in the Home

There are many variations of the basic colors. The paler versions give us the same qualities as the bold color but in a gentler way. When decorating an area – the complementary colors, and their variations, should be remembered and combined with our main choice of color by way of soft furnishings perhaps, pictures etc.

It is also helpful to take in to account the aspect of a room. For example, should you require a calming atmosphere in a north facing room, which may well be one of the colder rooms in your house, remember to use some warm colors (i.e. variations of the warm colors of yellow, orange and red) to avoid the room feeling colder.

Following is a table of colors and their suggested uses in various areas.

Babies: – pale pink, pale blue, pale violet, butter cream, white and ivory are all calming.

It should be remembered that babies and very young children will be more sensitive to the effects of color than adults and care should be taken with their room colors and their clothes.

A baby’s first experience of color is in the womb where they are enveloped in pale peachy pink. This is where they have been nurtured and where they feel safe.

Decorating the baby’s room in pale pink will help them feel safe in the outside world where they need time to adjust to their surroundings.

Babies are very sensitive and should be kept in white clothing as long as possible and particularly for the first nine months.

Special care should be taken when choosing the color of a hat since a baby’s head is particularly sensitive.

Most experts will agree that the first nine months of a baby’s life is so important in their development on every level – emotional, mental and physical.

Keep the colors pale for a baby’s room – pale pink, pale blue, pale violet, butter cream, white and ivory are all calming. We want our young spirits comfortable in their formative years of learning about their surroundings. We treat our newborns, babies, and toddlers, through the adolescent and teen years with respect to how they can best identify with their own surroundings while on this planet. We plan on making the future about the culture of our society as a whole.
