Symbols influence you daily, even when you are unaware of it.
Your brain recognizes and knows the meaning of many common symbols.
When you see a red circle with a diagonal red line through it, you instantly recognize it. You know it means “No”. No to whatever is pictured inside the red circle, no smoking, no food, no swimming, or no pets.
The International Red Cross organization uses a recognizable symbol of a red cross on a white background. It usually means there is a disaster that requires help. Everyone knows the red cross symbol is a sign of goodwill, protection, and humanitarian support. When this symbol appears, your mind knows help is either present or on the way.
You communicate using symbols every day.
Our use of symbols goes back to early man. Symbols have been used by many people and cultures throughout history. Man began using symbols to communicate, record events, and tell stories. We see that evidence on cave walls, inside pyramids, and on ancient scrolls.
Symbols have been and still are included in spiritual rituals and religious ceremonies. The cross, the chalice, and symbols of the elements (fire, earth, water, metal, wood) are examples of sacred symbols from ancient times that are still part of rituals and ceremonies today.
Another way we use sacred symbols is to transmit power to a person or place. During my Reiki Master Teacher certification, Reiki attunement symbols were used to transmit the power of the Reiki Master Teacher healing energy to me. I could feel the shift in my energy field during the process.
The Ankh, a sacred symbol from ancient Egypt, has been used on many occasions to reach higher levels of consciousness.
The power of sacred symbols is available for us to use even in today’s world.
When Is A Good Time To Use Sacred Symbols?
Sacred symbols can boost the energy of your intentions, prayers, and meditation or bring in supportive energies from the heaven realm when performing ceremony.
Boost your intentions by writing them down and including an image of the sacred symbol that represents the power you want to bring in to help manifest your intention.
When you pray, you can hold an image of your sacred symbol in your hands or place the image on your personal altar, which will continuously support your prayers.
At the beginning of your meditation, visualize your sacred symbol and bring it into your mind and heart. Know that the symbol is present even when you let go and move into your meditation.
Portals to Possibilities
When you use sacred symbols, you open a portal into the universe's energies. I believe sacred symbols are portals to the possibilities of your destiny, and you can incorporate them into your everyday life. The portal is a gateway for the energy of your desires to enter.
I intentionally incorporate sacred symbols into my art. I choose sacred symbols to open and empower my desires. At some point, the energy of the sacred symbols begins to radiate from the canvas, fill the room, and bathe me in their power. I have entered the portal to my possibilities.
When I hang that art in my home, the entire piece radiates the energy of sacred symbols and my intentions into my surroundings, bathing me in that power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Imagine how it feels to be surrounded by the positive energy of your desires as that energy aligns with your personal energy. I notice I have more confidence, clarity, and courage, and I can focus on what I want more quickly. Negative thoughts and doubts seem to disappear. That is when I know I am living in the flow of my possibilities.
I amplify the manifesting power of my intentional art by placing it in the most beneficial area of my home using Feng Shui principles.
