Ascended Master Lao Tzu & Zincite

Descending Power

We bring you the blessing of descending power. This is the powerful downward current of energy that allows for manifestation, for strengthening of the spiritual connection to the body, and of bringing your light to the Earth. In the spiritual tradition, there is much emphasis on energy rising; yet without the balance of descending power, you will feel lost in your mind, scattered in your thinking and frustrated in your efforts to see the inspired ideas you receive translated into completed tasks in the physical world. The uprising power helps you shift frequencies and access inspiration, whilst the descending power helps you ground to create. There is a time and a place for both the rising and the descending currents of divine energy. You are guided to attend at this time to the descending power to make best progress on your life journey.

There are entire modalities in the spiritual path dedicated to the raising of the vital energies from the lower to the upper chakras. For those that are anchored in the material world, cannot connect with genuine inner feeling of the heart, lack sensitivity to subtle energies, and perhaps have closed off their minds to worlds of spirit beyond what they can perceive through their five senses, then this is useful indeed. Raising energy will help dislodge fearful attachments to the Earth plane, and allow the presence of spirit to become more real, whilst new ideas and inspirations can impress themselves upon the mind.

However, what about those already upwardly mobile, spiritually speaking? Such people already have open and stimulated higher chakras. This tends to mean having an open mind, and often some kind of belief in spirit or a philosophy of some sort that works for them, that helps them feel they have some sort of purpose or valuable contribution to make to the world (even if they are still working out the details of what that contribution or purpose may be). They often have more ideas than they know what to do with. They perceive a lot and are often sensitive to energy, including the thoughts and feelings of other people, animals and even the Earth herself. Yet there can be great frustration in translating those extraordinary perceptions into material reality in the form of projects, tasks and a clear sense of purpose made practical. These people will already feel moved by their hearts and have words of wisdom to express. What they need is to be drawn down into the world to be able to find a form through which they can share their spiritual treasures, not pushed upwards for more when what already exists has not been put to full use.

This is the gift of descending power. It is the reorientation for the more spiritually inclined (and those that need more physical energy after an illness, long emotional struggle or other challenge) so that vitality can be generated. It brings clarity and refreshment to the mind and allows for the body to feel really alive, joyful and in sensual appreciation for manifest creation – the air on the skin, the scent of flowers, the beautiful sound of birds calling, or the sight of a powerful tree. To be able to take in sensory healing from the physical world requires the downward current. There must be descending power for you to feel grounded, to be able to act in constructive and practical ways to support your inspired ideas, and to fall in love with life, not just in the fantasy of what could be. Descending power gives you energy and peace, happiness, and a sense of connection and presence in the world.

The descending power begins with intention. Any kind of grounding is an act of will, especially for those that find it easier to fly free and soar amongst the stars, the world of ideas or the realms of subtle energies. The best way to access the gift of descending power is to put your mind in your lower body. For some this will feel nearly impossible at first, but it will become easy with practice. Do not become dissuaded if you find this is the case for you. You have accomplished awareness in the upper chakras – something that is truly magnificent and many others are just beginning to work on! Well done! Now you get to bring the joy of spirit down into your body and your world. This is a beautiful journey, from the head to the heart to the hips. It helps you feel like your spirit and your soul, and your body, are all working together in harmony. This creates energy and power for your path. So put your mind, your attention, your awareness in your hips, your belly, your legs and your feet. Get to know those parts of your body. Talk to them. Tell them you love them. Touch them. Make friends with your lower body. The magnetism of the descending power will then be activated more fully and all the benefit of this comes to you.

Healing Process

To integrate this guidance, you may like to say this invocation now:

I call upon the Crystal Angel of Zincite and Ascended Master Lao Tzu who love me unconditionally. Than you for the divine healing blessing of descending power. May I realize the divine power and blessing I have been given through my entire body, especially my lower body. May I love, respect and pay attention to my lower body as a way to pull the divine light of spirit into my soul and then into the world. I ask specifically to feel the loving radiance and grounding empowerment of the crystal kingdom beneath my feet. Please help me through unconditional grace to fully activate the descending power so divine light, love and grace may manifest itself in the world. May I be present and embodied divinity. Through unconditional love and my own free will, so be it.

If you wish to further integrate this guidance, hold the oracle card with the mandala image facing inwards at your sacral chakra (at your lower belly, beneath your belly button). Relax and breathe in and out several times.

Visualize, imagine, feel or pretend a circle of cool, dark, Earth energy around your hips. It is rich and full of life force, like the healthiest soil of Mother Earth. That circle of energy feels good to you.

As you relax and focus lightly on that circle of energy around your hips, the spiritual energy of your upper chakras begins to soften and drop down into the present moment. This is relaxing and brings you a feeling of clarity and energy. Stay with this process for at least a few breaths. If you cannot visualize, don’t worry, just intend or pretend that the circle is there and it will be, even if you don’t see it or feel it.

When you are ready, say aloud:

I choose of my own free will, through this and any lifetime, and through all layers of my entire being, to release any fear or resistance to incarnation, to grounding, and to manifesting my divine light in the physical world. I love my body and the physical world. It is a sacred home for the light of spirit to shine within. I choose to be present to the joy of life, experiencing sensual healing through embracing life in all its mystery. May all beings who have been frightened by life in any way be healed through divine grace, so they can be open and receive the loving gift of life. Through divine grace and unconditional love, so be it.

Hold the oracle card flat between your palms so you can place you hands in prayer position with the oracle card between them.

Bow your head and say:

May divine love activate the descending power in all who can benefit from it now. According to divine grace and in service to the great divine plan of love unfolding, so be it.

You can finish your healing process with this affirmation, said aloud three times:

I ground myself in the loving embrace of Mother Earth. My light descends to Earth as an act of love.
