THE PRACTICE OF PURIFICATION - ALIGNMENT- Julie -Above all else, the process of purification involves a relationship with God at the center, informing every activity, every thought, every word, every breath. This holy relationship exists between the Divine Creator and every soul, no matter what their background or religious beliefs, no matter what their status in life. A return to this relationship reawakens awareness of one's Divine heritage, bringing forth streams of light into everyday life. These are the streams that heal, transform, and purify life of all that continues to perceive itself as separated from God - all that is not of the light.
Purification as a process involves a turning toward God as a flower turns toward the sun, as a bird turns toward the sky. It is an orientation as natural and intimate as the flower's turning. Purification as a practice involves discovering the means for receiving the sun's rays without impediment, and also noticing when we have turned away even slightly from the radiance of light that warms us.

In order to maintain a habit of turning toward God, the practice of 'alignment' becomes important, for 'alignment' teaches the body and the consciousness how to open to light. It instills in the awareness a knowing of how to return to our center when we have departed from it. This practice is less a technique than a prayer, less a method, than an expression of love along the lines of "Lord, make me an instrument of Thy will." In its essence, it teaches us how to open our hearts to greater love and how to bring energy from mind to heart. It also teaches us to recognize when our hearts are closed, or when we have strayed from the light in some other direction.
Always, in every phase of purification, the path of return to light is available to us if we choose it. No matter what mistakes or wrong turns we take, it is always possible to retrace our steps inwardly, and to re-locate what we have lost or set aside.
