Introduction: Glossary of Terms

Term Definition
Affirmations Positive statements in alignment with your true desires and beliefs
Archetypes Aspects of yourself that may rise at times to indicate an opportunity to explore and grow. There are many aspects of ourselves and no limit to what archetypes may rise. In the ALJ Program, we focus on the chakra-aligned archetypes.
Aura Invisible bubble of energy just outside of our bodies; the first layer of our spiritual body.
Awareness The ability to observe your life, honor your actions, learn from what you find, and make active changes to align with your truth.
Chakra System Energy centers in the body found along the spinal column and head as well as small centers in various other points in the body. Each major energy center is aligned with different physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of yourself.
Dis-ease A sensation or experience that produces a sense of discomfort that, when not addressed, can become energetically “sticky” and cause energetic blockages.
Dis-empowerment A feeling of lacking power in a situation, thought, or life experience.
Ego The personality developed over our lifetime that can call up old beliefs as truth. The mind that was developed is necessary to keep us safe in this earthly life experience, but when it becomes the only way we live, it can be destructive. It is the counterbalance of the authentic voice and should be a companion to our spiritual authentic self, not the driving force.
Empowerment A feeling of being capable and having the right to choose what is in our best interest and to act on it from a place of love.
Energy Body Many levels of physical and non-physical components that make up our being in this life. Layers of the energy body include physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual (aura). All layers of the energy body are impacted by vibrational experiences.
High Vibrations Energy that feels inviting, exciting, and inclusive and invokes a sense of joy and support when participating in activities in alignment with our authentic self.
Low Vibrations Energy or experiences that may feel dense, uncomfortable, and cause dis-ease. May be experienced when participating in activities out of alignment with our truest desires and self.
Intention A way to live and honor every choice we experience actively and purposefully, whether it be in the moment, in the short-term or a long-term practice. Living intentionally allows us to create our lives on purpose rather than passively.
Manifestation The energetic response or active or passive thoughts and practices that help create our life experiences.
Meditation The centering of the mind on a single point with intent and practice to remain focused on the point. The mind, external experiences, and emotions are observed as part of the practice. The distractions are not to be punished or judged - simply acknowledged - and then we return to focusing on the point.
Mindfulness Acting in your life with purpose and awareness of your actions and choices, to support you in living with more ease.
Vibration Healing Practices and experiences to help harmonize your energetic body.
