Energy Cleaning: Make A Positive Shift!

Change your energy, get unstuck and set positive vibes in motion.

Have you felt a call to make changes in your life? Then you’re ready to shift your energy and clear out the stagnant energy that’s holding you back.

Try these techniques to make positive change in your life.

Change your environment
Making changes to your outside environment helps to make positive change in your life.

Clean your space: Deep cleaning is good for the soul. It literally sets stagnant energy in motion. Remove the clutter. If you haven’t used it in a year – donate it! Soon you’ll attract new, useful things to enhance your life.

Freshen it up: Rearrange the furniture; change out your artwork; paint an accent wall. Not only will it feel good, but it assist with creating a new start in life that will extend beyond the walls of your living room.

Use the Sacred Geometry techniques to raise the vibration of your space!

Re-invent yourself
Change your hair-do. Yes, believe it or not - changing the color or style of your hair is actually an alchemical process and a symbolic step toward shifting your energy.

Wear more color! Assess the color scheme you find hanging in your closet. If it’s limited to just a few shades – expand your wardrobe to include all colors.

The power of Intention, Affirmation, and Connection to self
Make every change this fall with the intention to shift your energy to a positive state. Use a positive affirmation daily, spoken out loud when you rise for the day. “I now create positive change in my life” or write your own affirmation to make it specific to the energy you wish to create in your life.

Don’t forget to take time daily to have gratitude and connect to your higher self. Take a walk in nature and give thanks to the lake, the trees, and the air you’re breathing. Practice the ancient art of meditation, one of the best tools to improve your physical and emotional health, while connecting you to positive energy. We teach the Sanctuary Meditation technique to connect to your higher self.

At True Sanctuary, we also suggest the following to shift your energy:
Sacred Geometry Class: Activate your space to bring in positive energy.

Family Meditation Time: a moment of peace from the chaos of life!

A family with three boys under the age of six took a moment for stillness, quiet, and connection to self during an in-home family meditation class.

I arrived at the family’s home early Saturday morning. I was greeted by two boys ages 6 and 4 playing with their children’s golf clubs in excitement for their upcoming family vacation. Their mom was holding their sleeping three-month-old brother.

The mom and dad invited me to teach the Sanctuary Meditation Technique in hopes they could start a family tradition of meditating on weekends and before bedtime. I’ve taught the class to kids and adults many times, but never a combined family meditation with different levels of understanding. I didn’t know what to expect, but I followed the kids’ lead!

The boys wanted to sit on the floor, their parents and I joined them. I began by teaching the class at the kids' level, but the parents also benefited from learning about the chakras and how our breath affects our ability to relax and enter a tranquil state of meditation. The take-away from the chakra breathing technique alone was huge for this family. The dad plans to use it at work when he’s stressed. The mom will use it to relax while she’s nursing her son, and they can’t wait for the boys to use this technique when it’s time to clam down before bedtime.

Next, I guided the family on a meditation journey to their sanctuary – a special place of power unique to each of them – to meet their higher-self, which provides a heightened connection to their true nature. What impressed me most was the 6 and 4-year-olds' ability to connect to their higher-self and have an uplifting experience. The mom and dad were right there with them on this meditation journey and reached a heightened state of relaxation and awareness of this higher vibration of energy.

Each of them shared their experiences:
The six-year-old said, “My sanctuary had big rocks in a circle, and my name was in the middle of it! My higher-self felt like it came in really fast.”

The four-year-old said, “I saw gold, and there was a tiger, leopard and lion, but they weren’t scary, they were my friends.”

Their dad was amazed, “That was really intense. I connected to my higher-self instantly, and I got a clear message. I wasn’t expecting that! It was incredible.”

Their parents hope to use this Sanctuary Meditation often to teach their kids the value of being still, connecting to their true self, and creating peace in their life.

It was a gift to see the meditation through the eyes of these kids, and know this family is creating a positive tradition that will serve them well as they grow in the light!

Benefits of Family Meditation:
• Model stress management for your kids.
• Put a new twist on time-outs. Use the chakra breathing techniques instead!
• Teach children an effective way to calm down before bedtime.
• Improve physical health and creative a positive emotional state.
• Discover a new way teach children about their unique self

Contact Sarah Gebeke at Sarah@TrueSanctuary.com if you’d like to set up a family meditation class or join her Sanctuary Meditation, Max Meditation or Children’s Meditation class. Sarah is trained in the art of meditation through the Modern Mystery School tradition, which is part of the ancient wisdom school teachings.

Relief for Japan Benefit

by Jenna Gebeke and Sarah Gebeke of TrueSanctuary

“Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.” ~George Iles

There have been many moments throughout history across countries and cultures where hope has lit the way through darkness. In today’s world we are no longer isolated from tragic events, but see and feel the aftershock of those events across the globe. We are no longer isolated nations and countries but a global community that works together on projects in big businesses, learns together in study abroad/exchange programs, and communes together across borders on social networking sites. This boundary-less society we live in is a blessing in times of tragedy as it allows for us to band together as a human race to spread hope, love, and peace across all borders to help those in need.

Now is the time not just to react to the situations in Japan, but to be proactive in aiding them in their healing and recovery. There are many different ways to help the situation in Japan. Pray, meditate, send light and positive energy – all of these actions will assist. Donations to trustworthy relief organizations are also a great way to help those in need. A friend of ours runs The Golden Pyramid of Peace – Japan Relief fund. 100% OF ALL DONATIONS will go directly to the people of Japan immediately without any admin fees! Our friends and colleagues in Tokyo have started a benefit fund, and have personally gone deep into the disaster zones bringing life-saving water, blankets and rice. Please help them continue to do so by making a donation today!

Even though we are in Minnesota and not in the front lines of the disaster, we can still TAKE ACTION and provide relief to those in Japan.
"How far that little candle throws his beams. So shines a good deed in a weary world.” ~ William Shakespeare

Please join us for a this Sunday, March 28th from 7-8pm at the Waterstone Clubroom 9700 Waterstone Place, Minnetonka, MN. The event is free to attend, and 100% of all donations will go directly to help the people of Japan.

Intuition: Learn How to Trust Your Hunches

written by Alissa Gebeke

Everyone is intuitive. We are all born with a varying degree of intuition. Developing intuition starts by realizing you have it already. If you've ever had a hunch about something, inner knowing, a “gut feeling”, that was your intuition. Intuition is just your mind using more than what you are consciously aware of.

Dr. Carl Jung described intuition as the ability to anticipate change and to see possibilities inherent in a situation.

What it means to be Intuitive
Being intuitive is being able to hear the inner voice over the negative ego voice. It’s being able to hear that Angel voice that let’s you know what’s for your highest good. Being intuitive is being in tune with not only your own emotions and feelings but those of the people around you. Being intuitive is being able to make informed choices rather than ones based on emotion and things of the past.

Developing Intuition
Recognize it – intuition can act as an encouragement or reassurance, or intuition can act as a caution to not act upon something that may not be in your best interest.
Intuition can come in the form of a gut feeling or knowing (clairsentience). Or it can be a voice you hear guiding you (clairaudience). It can be a vision during meditation or during dreamtime (clairvoyance).
Start questioning your hunches. Get in the habit of paying attention to and studying your intuitive feelings.

The Intuition Development course taught with True Sanctuary can assist in understanding how we perceive the world and learn skills and tools to develop these gifts. During this class you’ll get exercises you can use on a daily basis to increase your intuition (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience).
Check the True Sanctuary Calendar for the next class!


Another great way to increase your intuition is with the Sanctuary Meditation Technique, and Empower Thyself class. The Life Activation also helps you raise your vibration and open you intuitive gives.

Empower Thyself Program - A Testimonial

Read a testimonial from a client who recently took the Empower Thyself class. His words speak volumes for the way the teachings and energy you receive from class can be applied to your life:
"I was guided to True Sanctuary by a friend who told me about how I might be interested in the Modern Mystery School (MMS) teachings because of my personal spiritual goals. I spent time reviewing True Sanctuary's website where I found a lot of information on the various MMS classes they offered as well as the healing modalities they provided. I met Sarah, Jenna and Vonnie and at an expo and after only a few minutes I knew that they were very genuine and grounded in their perspective on what they had to offer me as healers and guides on my journey.

I received a Life Activation and an Emotional Cord Cutting and I immediately felt much more focused and free from nagging thoughts about various situations and people in my life. I am also a healing practitioner and after the Life Activation and Emotional Cord Cutting I noticed that my sessions were much easier in their flow and being connected to my client as well as the energy. This was a definite bonus for me and my clients.

After this experience I knew I wanted to go on to experience more of the MMS teachings so I signed up for the Empower Thyself program the next month. The class was a very intense two day course where the energy brought into the room was palpable and amazing! After this course with True Sanctuary, the level of power in the healing sessions with my clients exploded! I was so surprised at how I could connect with higher-source as well as the client with such intensity and ease. I also know that my clients could feel the intensity from the feedback they gave me. Empower Thyself was one of those incredible life-changing experiences that will unfold within me for the rest of my life. I've very much enjoyed the Meditation, Intuition Development and Sacred Geometry classes I've taken so far and I look forward to the Empower Thyself II in the near future!"
