Elevate the Mind, Heal the Body - Closing the Energy Leaks(c)

I cannot say enough about this technique Closing the Energy Leaks…..if you are like me, then you might often find your very busy mind off on several tangents and not always as focused on the tasks at hand. This little thought or action can help you begin the process of working with your mind on a whole new level.

Especially when it comes to healing.

Because we have all been through multiple traumas, are full of toxins and are generally often in survival mode – much more than our body has been affected. What I have seen repeatedly in my clinical practice is how the mind-body connection is weak or broken down, and otherwise non-functioning.

Your mind is an integral function of healing your physical body.

Closing the Energy Leaks © is all about knitting the bridge back together between body and mind. Uncovering some of the patterns that have kept us from healing, shifting or changing our lives so we can move in the directions we are seeking is an integral part of walking this path.

Over the years of Closing Windows (energy leaks) I have witnessed everything from instant relief from migraines, redness and swelling reducing, ear inflammation calming completely, slowed bleeding in cuts, coughing fits settling in under a minute, infections receding, pain and discomfort of all sorts reversing, relationships changing, to delivering a baby at home without any assistance (ask me about it J).

And this is only the beginning of what I’ve seen over these past two decades of Closing the Energy Leaks.

Once we tune into our bodies and actually ‘listen’, using our minds to connect, we re-enter into the conscious healing capacity all of us are capable of.  Our body already knows how to heal, often the blocks are as much in our mind (the mind being an inherent part of our body) and can be worked on just like any other aspect of us.

It’s time to take your healing ability to a new level.

Understanding how your mind-body works together by learning to hear, then listen and understand what your body needs you to know is perhaps the most significant step in moving your life forward.

This is life-altering work.

Our minds are a pretty amazing part of our body! When we are able to actually harness even a tiny amount of that power and potential we can begin to take control of our health, purpose, path and momentum in a new and more meaningful way.

 So, just how does one work with the mind? Closing the windows is a brilliant beginning because, this technique allows you to train your focus, which for so many of us is an issue J, settle back into your body and to get to know yourself on an entire new level.

There are ways and means to get back into your body, mind and spirit; for instance we have plants on the earth that not only help us heal, they are all about helping us access parts of our bodies that we have been pushed out of.

The single biggest part of our body we have been removed from is our mind.

What’s more, we are encouraged to shut down our mind, to exit, to get it to be quiet, to allow it to float away from us and otherwise to remove ourselves from it’s deepest workings.

Your mind exists everywhere, in all dimensions, in all aspects of who you are, who you were and who you can be. It is in every single cell in your body. Not sure about dimensions? What part of you dreams, experiences synchronicities, déjà vu and intuition?

Your mind plays an integral part in all of that. It must be linked with the body and spirit in order to fully access the power contained within.

I personally have found and seen over the years how the more you are in tune with and ‘in’ your mind, the better you feel, the more you are able to focus and the calmer your life is.

The most important aspect of being in your mind and keeping it firmly attached to your body is that you are able to use this energy to direct your own healing.

Our minds are pure potential, so much so that when you Elevate the mind – you heal the body.

Over Protective??? (a bit of a Spiritual Rant!)

Is there such a thing as over-protective in the spiritual world?

Today (and perhaps all my life) I have been pondering this concept. However, the first thing it does for me now is conjure up a conversation (criticism?) I had with someone about my parenting way back shortly after my first child was born.

I was told I was an ‘over-protective’ mother.

It was meant in a negative way and I took it to heart…..then made a decision regarding my child (putting him in crèche for his ‘social’ development at 13 months old) that I lived to regret in short order.

That is another story for another post….but these two situations are not all that different from each other. Our inner child (as well as our outer child) both need protecting….in fact for any vulnerable parts of our beings we need healthy boundaries and defence mechanisms.

On a physical level that means our immune systems should be in good working order – because this is a gut mediated function that also means we should pay particular attention to our digestive function. Then we can change diet or lifestlye and make adjustments accordingly….

However, from a spiritual standpoint what on earth does ‘self protection’ really mean? I am old enough (and been around these parts long enough!) to remember the old ways and means of surrounding yourself with a bubble of white light, calling in someone or other (just who ARE these beings anyway?)….

And, well, that’s all that is needed to protect your body, mind and spirit (read inner child, spiritual DNA, soul) from any harmful and ill intentioned beings who might be floating (crashing the party, breaking in, or otherwise skulking) around the vicinity.

Yeah right, like any of that actually works…..!

Believe me, if some malicious, angry intruder (read energy vampires from any dimension,) wants into our world, they won’t be stopped by a bubble! Just ask the bubble, or anyone who’s been working in other dimensions for some time, or better yet, let me tell you more.

I remember days when I would just be at home after a weekend course (studying nearly anything from a spiritual perspective) doing my normal stuff and be absolutely inundated by dozens of beings that had somehow ‘attached’ to my energy field throughout the time I spent at the workshop.

How do I know this was happening? I’m an intuitive, so I just ‘know’, I also see, feel and sense them around me….then, there were the physical symptoms of being either drained or hyper, aches and pains, spacy or lightheaded, headaches, cravings for sugar and an inability to focus (have I missed anything?).

There were times when it seemed as if the gates were left wide open and every being from the universe was just wandering around waiting to have a chat with me. But during the course of the ‘spiritual’ weekend, I had done several things to ‘protect’ myself so this wouldn’t happen.

Of course this means a couple of things here, one is that there are those who need our help (genuinely), mean no harm to us but have no other way to get in touch with us. And then there are those who are simply part of the criminal element of our world and barge into any door (energy leak) that is open.

What part of ourselves are we protecting and whom are we protecting ourselves from? And does it ever get to the point of using self protective mechanisms that end up working against ourselves….?

I have been working on these specific situations common to those who work in the healing, helping, counseling and therapy professions for quite sometime….there are answers and there is protection.

If you want to learn more, understand what and why this is happening and what you can do about it; come on out to my class next week on Protecting Yourself inthe Healing (or any) Professions.

It can be done, it should be straight forward and simple and it is.

Minding Your Energy in the Healing Professions.....

I have talked about this before….and bring it up to anyone who will listen – just because you are in the healing/therapy/energy professions, doesn’t mean you need to call in outside help in the form of guides, angels, masters and other unseen entities.

No matter what anyone tells you, you do have the tools, skills, ability, power and knowledge to do this work by yourself. After all, you are far more capable than anyone else to do the work you are born to do.

Right now, there are millions upon millions of beings roaming this planet…..spirits, orbs, energy entities, ghosts, goblins, ghouls and monsters (and gobshites!) to name but a few of these beings….which is only the tip of a very large iceberg.

They are here mainly because we have some who are opening doors and welcoming in – whatever and whomever shows up. These doors are opened by several means, the least of which is poor diet, medication, toxic water, chronic stress and living in a constant state of fear.

Our human defences (read immune response) which under normal circumstances should sound an alarm, have been dampened down to such an extent…..well, we let in anyone or else they push themselves into our space.

If you suspect you have an energy attachment, are feeling drained and used in your life – or, just finding that nearly everything you are wanting/trying/working at doing is blocked – well, most likely there is something tangible that has you stuck in this place (an energy block).

What is more – you are then ‘feeling’ what this entity wants you to feel! So, these are not only your emotions, thoughts, senses or frustration that you experience in your day to day life, these belong to energy attachments as well. 

Is it any wonder some of the time (or a lot of the time!) we are feeling confused, distracted, ungrounded and anxious? Perhaps that is the very intention of an energy vampire. Get us into a bit of a ‘state’….keep us there and carry on siphoning off our precious life force.

All is not lost however, once you start to recognize there are invaders in your mind, body and soul – then you can take steps to start removing them from these points of attachment (nervous system) and get your life back.

One of the easiest places to begin is to be aware of and eliminate the many forms of neurotoxins in your diet. Quite a few of the substances we are flooded with each day are highly poisonous and persist in our systems for years….but they also set us up for invasion. 

Chlorine, fluoride, aspartame, even caffeine, food colourings, dyes, some ingredients of medications, and the ever popular Nightshade family of fruits (potato, tomato, aubergine, peppers, chillies, gogi berries, tobacco) all contain various forms of neurotoxins that wear down our nervous system and make us vulnerable to energy draining attachments.

Besides removing these items from your diet permanently, you can increase exercise, detox regularly and otherwise give your body an exit point for some of these toxins (keep your liver, skin and kidneys working optimally). 

By the way….your nervous function is perhaps the single most important tool your body uses to grow spiritually – it’s your inner communication system. If we can’t listen/hear/communicate within – we can’t move forward safely on the outside.

My Life in Retrograde....Spiritual Adventures Continue

So, right now Mercury (the messenger planet?) is apparently in retrograde or moving backwards through the sky – which means lots for mere mortals like us, down below. For those who are watching the heavens for signs and guidance….well, it’s a time of increased resistance.

What’s even worse (I know, I am a bit late into this game LOL) is this planetary aspect is likely to happen about 3 times each year for about 3 weeks each time….well, that wouldn’t be so bad; if it ever ended!

I don’t know about you….but for many of us who are walking this spiritual path, this resistance/retrograde/opposition to every single aspect of your life, plans, hopes, wishes, dreams and carefully made decisions – starts to get a little old after a while (sigh).

However, the way I see it right now, is there might be a tiny ray of hope for all of us who feel mired down by life….because when you have opposition to your opposition….doesn’t that cancel it (the negativity/resistance/retrograde) out and mean you can move/shift/change or even live again?

I mean – two opposing forces should have some impact on things down here – wouldn’t you think? If one force (say the stars) is pushing against the other force (the darkness) might that create something else entirely…..

Oh, but wait….you can only see the stars in the darkness….

Someone once said – there isn’t much adventure in a secure future…well that about sums it all up, doesn’t it? So that’s why my life is the way it is…. jazus, I thought it was me!
