Redefining Baptisms

I was baptized for the first time when I was a baby in the Church, but I went on to have several more baptisms since then - each more meaningful than my very first. Unlike what I was taught, baptisms are not some physical profession of faith tied to some religious dogma for means of salvation. True baptisms are physical, symbolic, spiritual, and energetic in nature that are tied to personal empowerment, freedom, healing, and sovereignty. Baptisms mark periods of rebirth and of graduating from important soul lessons, karmic cycles, and life chapters. They also serve as purification, helping us release and wash away what no longer serves us - whether that is old energies, old identities, trauma imprints, false belief systems, distortion codes, etc.

There are two main types of baptisms that exist: baptisms by fire and of water. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, baptisms of fire serve as really intense initiations that propel us to make the necessary life changes needed to help us spiritually evolve and drastically change our trajectory for the better. This often comes with the dramatic death of the old self and the stripping away of old identities, distorted codes, and false belief systems that once served as the foundation to who we once were. Flames (like the violet flame) are powerful and potent tools in successfully transmuting dense energies rapidly. Experiencing it might feel like your entire world and your foundations are crumbling apart, but this is necessary to make space for the new higher vibrational codes and organic structures that want to take place and blossom in your life.

Baptisms of water are gentler in nature, serving to wash away everything outdated, distorted, low-vibrational, and irrelevant that no longer is aligned with our soul identity, path, and mission. Water teaches us to go with the flow, surrendering to the present moment without imposing our will while releasing our attachment to the outcome. Water is also tied to our emotions, and helps us release dense emotions and traumatic memories that may remain embedded, imprinted, and encoded in our body, DNA, and cells. It is true when they say that the body keeps score. During this period you might feel heightened emotions and the need to cry more than usual. Allow these energies to release and for water to be your teacher and healer.

I left the Church as a teenager, but my yearning for God only grew and grew - and I looked for God everywhere. When I awakened as a young adult, that was when I found God and began to have personal conversations with God and its different divine masculine and feminine archetypes. One of these archetypes or aspects was Yeshua, and He taught me that though I was no longer religious, that I could still experience the true nature and benefits of baptism. Yeshua taught me that baptisms were not tied to any one religion, belief system, or practice. Baptisms were accessible to everyone and something that could be experienced more than once. You didn’t need some higher authority in order to administer it and it also didn’t need to be physically done.

There were moments when I received baptism visions from the quantum field indicating that I made a leap in consciousness and graduated from an important chapter or lesson. This goes to show that baptisms can be energetic in nature. Sometimes, I also grounded that important moment with the cutting of my hair. This is a practice indigenous peoples have done for thousands of years. The cutting of hair in or around the full moon phase served as a potent ritual to release the old energies, memories, and emotions. Cutting my hair was one of many ways I took physical actions to also baptize myself.

In relearning what it meant to be baptized, I reclaimed my sovereignty and my power. No longer did my “salvation” or access to the Kingdom depend on a middle man. My personal connection to Source, the Universe, and the Quantum Field was all that was needed all along - and they were never separate from me.
