Feathers conduct ambient cosmic energies such as – free life force energy, and actual data from a field of collective human awareness to our finger tips or hair and then directly into our nervous system, pineal gland and visual cortex.

Like a radio antenna, wearing feathers increases the range of cosmic frequencies that can be captured and received by our body… and also sent back out! The subtle hairs on the tips of a feather made from highly conductive beta-carotene crystals capture signals from the etheric realms. Astonishingly, because of the piezoelectric effect, these signals are converted into electrical impulses containing data and energy which rushes down into our physical system to nourish us, inspire us and show us divine will. The piezoelectric effect is when a crystal receives a frequency of energy and then creates corresponding electrical charge. This is how a radio transmitter or transceiver functions. Wearing feathers allows us to amplify our extra sensory perception (ESP) and we can receive and send data more easily. Its like installing a satellite dish for your third eye!

In Chinese Taoism, humans are known to exist as a bridge between heaven and earth. Human life thrives to the extent that it harmonizes with the cosmic forces above and the elements of earthly nature below.

Taoist Philosophy states that heaven is the source of our knowledge of our non separation with all things, the deepest virtues of wisdom, the power of our intent as well as all the mental faculties associated with the post-natal human mind.

‘Heaven suffuses the human spirit with the primordial
Virtue of the Tao (dao-deh), which empowers the human mind with the capacity to realize the pure primordial awareness known as ‘enlightenment’ in Buddhism and ‘immortality’ in Taoist tradition.’

-Daniel Reid

A Complete Guide to the Principles and Practice of Chi-Gung

The energies which humans tap from the universe through conscious connection and practice bypass the physical nature of the body and enter into the human energy system directly through etheric energy gates. This energy is not like food, water or air from the earth because it produces no pollutants in the body. This is energy, information and inspiration derived from the stars and planets and other cosmic sources of the universe. It fuels the human system, providing an unlimited supply of the highest grade energy and an infinite non-local internet of attainable akashic collective data.

Furthermore, Taoists see the crown center point of the head as the Medicine Palace (ni-wan-gun). This is the major energy gate linking the powers of heaven and humanity. Upon inhalation energy rushes through this crown gate, down the central energy channel in the body to the core energy center – (dan-tien), just below the navel and then back up and out upon exhalation. Thusly wearing feathers in your hair augment your ability to both receive and send cosmic energy and data from the body, like a organic mobile phone.

Yogic Philosophy from India explains that hair is an amazing gift from nature that should not be cut but grown long and taken care of. Healthy hair and the energy it draws into the body helps raise our kundalini energy (creative life force), which increases our vitality, intuition and tranquility. Yogis know that hair is an antenna that gathers sun energy or prana to the frontal lobes of the brain which are used for meditation, visualization and decision making. They also know that the prana energy conducted through the hair activates our pineal gland – the physiological organ responsible of much of human ESP.

“This activation of your pineal results in a secretion that is central to the development of higher intellectual functioning, as well as higher spiritual perception.”

-Yogi Bhajan

Our personal ESP is our magical internal compass and tool for perceiving the world beyond our eyes, ears, touch and smell. This is how we sense things far off, whether it be in distance or through time. We can also discern if people are lying or being truly integral and earnest.

So, we can see that its quite elementary, that if we would like to receive more subtle universal energy, then sticking a feather in our cap is an intuitive and practical catalyst to help us on our journey. When arranging the feather in your cap, ensure the feather tip is in contact with your hair or scalp, but if you can’t get the feather tip to pierce your hat – wearing a hat made from natural materials will help you receive the energy the feather conducts down it’s stem.

Mexica elders, shamans and roadmen also believe that wearing feathers allows the ancestor spirits to recognize them. This nourishes the data transmission of wisdom and love between past generations and current ones through a non-local (free of the restrictions of time and space) morphogenic field shared experiences. Eagle feathers are often used ceremonially in this way because they represent the powerful grandmother creator eagle spirit that created the universe.

‘We like to wear feathers. That way the ancestors will recognize us.’

-Kuauhtli Vasquez,
Comanche Mystic

In Mexica culture, feathers represent the wind element in their ceremonies and are utilized to transmit and receive cosmic energy and also to send healing, intention and prayer when used as a cosmic extension of the heart meridian which terminates in the hand.

The tip of the heart meridian sits at the base point between the ring finger and little finger. When a single eagle feather is held in hand, the feather tip sits neatly on this meridian. Also when a feather fan is used to transmit and send energy, the heart meridian conducts this power.

The heart transmits electricity through the body and this is directly received by the feather when we want to transmit our hearts intention beyond the body. As discussed above, just like a radio transmitter sending a signal – the feather receives the electrical transmission from the heart and the beta-carotene crystals work in reverse and convert the electrical current into an energetic wave form that can be cast where ever the practitioner needs. The love in the heart is the key to this as we can see by understanding the Lomi Lomi healing art of Hawaiian mystics.

Hawiian mysticism and the spirit of Aloha share a deep gift of unconditional love with the world. Their practice of healing massage called Lomi Lomi is one of their many ways of offering their healing love to others.

The deeper meaning of Aloha is the joyful sharing of life energy in the present moment. The secret of Lomi Lomi is to love and nurture another’s body as your own – because you know there is no spiritual or physical separation between you and them. Lomi Lomi practitioners develop an amazing ability to conduct loving touch from their heart directly through their hands. Healing is increased by love, not so much by the tangible physical experience of massage. Its about the energy of love literally flowing out from their hands. In this way, Lomi Lomi is a healing massage that balances and invigorates one on a mental, emotional and spiritual level.

We should not forget either that each feather holographically contains the memories of the bird it came from and its total family line. The spirit of the bird is not housed in the feather, but the spirit may visit with you retroactively (from the past) and even aid you when you work with the feather.

In very heightened states of aware mysticism, the human heart also has the ability to tune into the signal frequency of the beta-carotene crystals in the feather and pass this data up to our pineal gland. The DMT crystals in the pineal gland synch with the feather’s crystals and information is exchanged via quantum entanglement. In our ‘third eye’, we can experience the bird’s wisdom and memories retroactively. And the bird will experience us, our prayers and participate in the ceremonies also.

Many cultures use feathers to collect the energy of wind, water, fire, human love or the cosmic astral energies and then send this onward to heal or cleanse people and places. Feathers are also used to collect and clear negative energies and offer them to the fire in a ceremonial space in order to cleanse and heal people. This can be augmented with the burning of healing plants such as cedar, sage, copal or palo santo.

Furthermore, feathers are used to pray often in the alchemy of a traditional ceremony where fire, water are brought together on a sacred alter. Master healing plants such as cedar, sage, tobacco, peyote, san pedro or ayahuasca are often used to amplify these prayers by cleansing the body, heart and minds of the participants. When feathers are used to pray in this way, the feather gathers the heart’s energy and intent and transmits it upward to the creator spirit, universe or heaven – how ever you want to see it. In this way – these types of ceremonial practices allow people to pray, manifest and create a better future in a very efficient way because we are all a part of the creator sprit. So when we set an intention and pray in this way, as a group, we can literally help sway the collective dreaming of humanity in a positive, creative and loving way. Feathers are quantum tools that allow us to choose what’s up next for us from the field of infinite future possibility. Prayer is about hope. Prayer is about believing our love and intention will bring us the best future imaginable… and more

Using a feather to collect or send energy through our hands or through our head is not just something for some special people. Feathers are for EVERYONE. The language of science and many schools of mysticism have the teachings we need to re-invigorate our lost knowing of using feathers to heal, receive and pray.
