Spiritual Mastery for the 21st Century
Creating A Healing
Shroud of Power
|
|
|
by Dr. Gwen MacGregor |

"Meditation is about changing patterns within yourself by bringing your mind to a still point over and over again. Each time you concentrate within yourself; you connect deeply within yourself. Your whole field of attention contracts to a dynamic still point, within which is released whatever pattern of restriction is functioning at that moment."
from The Breath of God by Swami Chetanananda
Imagine the power of creating a shroud or spirit wrap of balance and healing to work with over your lifetime? A shroud that you can meditate on, revitalize upon and add to as you grow exponentially, in spirit. The healing shroud has been a device utilized by masters over thousands of years and, in literature, even been called a magic carpet! It in effect becomes your energy wrap designed to comfort, heal and assist you in your meditations and mystical journeying. And you can create such magic with your pure intention, symbols of power, a partner in spirit and your imagination!
Thoughout history, humanity has wrapped Her dead in sheets, glorious cloths of gold thread, old rugs and burlap. It is believed that during the 3 days after death, the soul enters and re-enters the body to create a perceptible image of the deceased, often creating a fitting death shroud of protection to honor the departing soul. The classic celebrated shroud of our time is carefully secured in a cathedral in Turin, Italy. The Shroud of Turin (or Turin Shroud) is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have been physically traumatized in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of St. John the baptist in Turin, Italy. It is believed by many who visit it to be the cloth placed on and around Jesus of Nazareth at the time of his burial.
The image on the shroud is much clearer in black-and-white negative than in its natural sepia color. The striking negative image was first observed on the evening of May 28th, 1898 on the reverse photographic plate of amateur photographer Secondo Pio, who was allowed to photograph it while it was being exhibited in the Turin Cathedral. According to Pio, he almost dropped and broke the photographic plate from the shock of seeing an image of a person on it. While there is still an on-going dispute concerning the veracity of the Church's claim, there is no doubt that a man's soul energy was captured in its linen folds. Today you can discover what holy men and women have known for ages, wielding the soul's energy does not only occur upon our death.
Every time you astral travel, meditate, even fear for your life, your higher self leaves traces of itself in your environment. Our auras carry random levels of energy that stay revolving around us for years - often resembling the electron-neutron-model we studied in the 1950's and 1960's in science class. As we begin to meditate at higher energy levels, because of spiritual ascension and also because we grow in wisdom, not just knowledge, our energy level tunes-up to higher vibrations. That energy of God that we are is recordable on Earth and can be captured in linen, cotton, cloths that are spun from Earth-related, living seeds and plants. Through meditation, chakra cleansing and cutting away of the aura, you can begin the life-time of work on your sacred shroud.
All spirit-led creation begins by creating the most powerful circle of light possible. This is truly a production of power for you and your circle or mate in order to launch your shroud properly. Be ready to empty your body of fear, anger, negativity and illness as you or your significant other cuts away all that you would let go of in your aura. Master Shaman Akin, a Mayan shaman I work with on occasion, utilizes a sword of power to cut away that which holds his students from knowing their higher self and purpose. Master Akin also gathers the remnants of their past and with gratitude, he creates a despacho to reverently discard the past negativity at his will, after the ceremony. In the ceremony you may wish to lay down on your shroud and have your assistant lay stones or sacred objects or totems annointed with the oils of the 7 chakras upon your body in preparation for the spirit drawing on the shroud itself. This part of the ceremony will last as long or as short as you need. Be prepared to follow your own wise inner direction but, you want to be as pure inside as possible as you place your clear energy of soul upon your shroud. I have found that students can simply propel their inner energy through the cloth by visualizing all their inner power literally rushing through their bodies and imprinting upon the cloth.
Lastly, your image (contour drawing of self) can be drawn upon your shroud by your helper during the ceremony. You can draw sacred symbols of the portals of light upon your image, afterwards, like the symbols of each chakra. Your chakras will be blown open by light and the sheer power of your energy and your wish to open yourself up to pure ascension. Be prepared to feel very vulnerable but, so safe with this process of clearing. In the end, you can lay down once again as you wrap yourself in your shroud of death, of spiritual power and oneness with all the paths of glory. The moment of death, is of course, simulated, but, it is a perfect moment to let go of the past, to let go of the limitations of the body and embrace your full potential as a God/Man/Woman. Many who have gone through this process describe moments of levitation, elation and the feel of a death-like process that humbles and relieves. Remember that this process is like dying to the old you and embracing the sweet, innocent potential of who you have always been inside.
Have faith with the energy that led you to this process. The shroud should be kept in a sacred cloth and used only for your own healing, meditation and spiritual growth. Wear it, hold it, take it with you to other classes and places of power as your shroud will accumulate energy throughout your lifetime. As you grow, ascension-wise, you will adorn it with stones, bells, sacred images, words of power, your very name, etc. Be sure before you add to the shroud that you wish that energy or wisdom captured in your aura forever. It is a living wrap of power attuned to your very soul. Be very aware of who you let touch it or add to it. They are invading your very energy body. There will be masters along the way who will understand its power, believe me. The concept of the sacred shroud is known far and wide, esoterically.
In the future, be open to creating and re-vitalizing your shroud of power as you grow. I have been creating shrouds for over 16 years now and take the work most seriously. Prayers, affirmations and even words of wisdom can always be attached to the cloth at any time. I have often wrapped myself up in my shroud when I felt out of balance or ill. If you program the cloth correctly, a few minutes of laying on your outline with the chakras lined up beneath you should open your energy portals and give you back a lightness and good feeling within.
All the best to you under Heaven,
Dr. Gwen G. MacGregor
