Everyone requires energy to live. This does not mean that food, water, and oxygen are all that we need. As scientists have proven, we have a non-physical
energy field or aura surrounding our physical body. The food we eat only supplies part of the energies that we require. Our physical body is given form from the patterns of our higher energy bodies or soul aspect because we are energy beings choosing to experience physicality through a physical body.
Food supplies some of the energy for our physical bodies while Source supplies the energy for our non-physical selves, our soul, and all its expressions.
Intuitively, we are aware of the Oneness* with Source and all life, but when fear is our master, i.e., when we are in any way fearful of giving and receiving love, we deny the very energies that feed and empower our soul aspects. Whenever we embrace any kind of fear, we automatically deny our own soul and Source because we are choosing to vibrate on a level that impedes our ability to link to Source. Fear is a negative vibration, whilst love is a positive vibration.
We are all One, and it is through our energy centres (chakras) that we are linked to one another, to the collective consciousness, to the greater universe,
and to Source. When love rules our experience, we have direct access to the Source energies that feed our physical bodies, soul aspects, and soul with what
we need to maintain our life expression. Source energies empower our immune system and give our glands an ability to function properly. As you become more
spiritually aware or connected, you will have less need to supplement your energies with food. A spiritually aware person can survive quite comfortably on
less than 10% of the food that an unaware person requires.
If you continually have to deal with the negative energies or thought forms of other people, you will find it difficult or impossible to open to your unlimited spirituality. Negative energies destroy your clarity and your ability to access and confront your own fears. Whether you are aware of negative energies or not, it is important to learn about energy protection.
Protection is an essential practice necessary in keeping ourselves shielded from the forces of the dark, which usually come via negative thoughts, words, or
deeds of human and non-physical beings. If we are not aware of protection or choose to approach each day spiritually 'exposed', we will have little defence
against the negativity sent our way. Without protection, we are even vulnerable to the negative thought energies from the collective consciousness of the
planet. As these low-level energies are drawn into our energy field and energy centres, they accumulate in our bodies, plug up our chakras (energy centres),
and leave us physically, mentally, and emotionally weakened. Over time, these blockages cause us to open up to negative energies and entities. As this
happens we will find our immune system weakening.
Have you ever awoken feeling energized and happy but were soon hit with a negative emotion such as frustration, anger, fear, or insecurity which seemed to
come out of nowhere? If someone we know, be it a family member, an acquaintance, or even a past relationship, feels miserable, angry, frustrated, or in judgment of us for any reason, the ?energy link? they have with us becomes activated. Our positive feelings are quickly replaced by negative emotions if we have not taken time to do our protection. When our emotions change dramatically in a short period, it can be rather confusing. However, it is easily
explainable when we understand we are dealing with someone else's negative energies or emotions. When we do not use energy protection, we readily link up with and share in the negative feelings of others. It is impossible to wholly experience your own energies when you are sharing in those of someone else.
Everyone with whom we have had any kind of experiences is linked to us on an energy level. This energy link or bond connects us to each of the people in our
life in a more powerful way than the links we have with those in the collective consciousness. Loving beings will have links or bonds of a positive nature,
but those who live in fear will have negative links with anyone in their reality who has negative thoughts. Negative thought-links create a channel through
which our energies can be drawn upon to empower the person who originally created the negative link. Negative people will find power and strength through
feeding off the energies of other people who are also in fear.
Everyone requires energy to live. If we do not open ourselves to the energies of Source, which are freely given, we then have to depend on others for our
energy supply. Sometimes, when in the company of, or speaking on the phone to negative people, we find ourselves yawning uncontrollably or becoming
excessively tired in the midst of the conversation. This is not because that person is boring, but because he or she is sapping our energy. Many of these
people do not appear negative on the outside, although most can be characterized as having low self esteem.
Consider the child, John, who is born into a family where there is no love. All children have strong energy links with their parents, so John readily connects to his mother and father. Because his parents constantly argue and fight, his links to them expose him to their negative energies. Being spiritually wide open, John takes 'on board' his parents' fears, beliefs, judgments, and any other of their negative emotions which destroy his ability to be free and in control of his own energies. As his energies become negative, it is impossible for him to receive love from anyone, including Source. Because he has not been taught to practice protection, John will eventually deny both himself and Source. John will find it easy to take on other negative energies, such as disease and illness, and it will become more and more difficult for him to make loving and intelligent decisions.
Like all children of Source, John requires energy to sustain himself. All of us are meant to supplement our energy by linking to Source energies (Source)
continuously. Whenever we embrace any kind of fear, we deny our ability to draw on these positive loving energies. By living in a fear-based environment,
John has learned to deny himself Source energies, and therefore, unconsciously supplements his energies from other people in his experience, including his parents.
At the age of twenty, John appears to be a very nice young man, though on the inside he is needy and insecure. When he associates with anyone who has
similar energies to his own (those who live in some degree of fear), they will both find comfort in each other. However, when John is with those whose
energies are higher or more positive than his own, they will find their energies being depleted and will want to avoid him. As John continues to allow his
fears to control him, he will find it more difficult to make friends even though he will consistently try to be around others to supplement his energies.
When John's mother, who is emotionally connected to her son, speaks with him on the telephone, she will often find herself becoming tired for no apparent
reason. This can be explained by the energy link that is empowered as soon as she picks up the phone to talk to him. John unconsciously draws his much needed energy from his mother instead of permitting Source (Source) energies to replenish him because his fears force him to deny that natural Source-link. Because his mother's energy field is of a similar negative level of vibration to his own, it is easy for John to link up and draw from her energies or those of anyone else with like energies. John's energy levels are determined by his loves, beliefs, and fears. This is why negative and judgmental people usually associate with others who are of a similar nature; they are simply more comfortable with each other.
Many of us have had this experience with others in our life. We have met people who deplete us by either linking over the phone or being in the same room
with them. (Have you ever noticed how easily tired you become when you are in a shopping mall?) Like energies 'attract' like energies and like energies 'like' like energies. Though we are all linked, we are not responsible for replenishing the energies of others.
Because of their negative energies, many people can be accurately described as "psychic vampires". They constantly feed off of other people's energies even though they are not aware of doing so. If we do not want to be an energy source for those around us, then it is important to practice protection and release all of the links and bonds that are not for our highest and greatest good, and to do this often. Remember though, we cannot protect ourselves from the negative energies of anyone we are in judgment of.
If we desire to spiritually empower ourselves, we need to become more aware of negative energies and entities and protect both our physical and non-physical
energies from being affected by them. This practice is usually referred to as soul protection, though it is only ourselves "the actual soul aspect"** who requires protection.
Though we are not responsible for the energies of other people, we are responsible for our own. The easiest way to protect ourselves is to open to Source energies and surround ourselves on all levels of our being with love and light. Each day upon waking, it would serve you well to say something
similar to:
"I open to Source and to the Source of my being. I surround myself with love and light on all levels of my being. With love and light, I transmute all negativity I encounter and I return it with love and light. I am love, I am light, I am One with Source."
Using the exact words is not necessary as it is the intent behind them that generates the protection. Some prefer to visualize themselves surrounded by a
pure white light energy from Source. Remember that your thoughts are energy and that energy always follows your intent or desire.
In the realms of love and light, protection is not something even considered. It is only in our world where fear rules that protection is necessary at this time. And protection is only required for those who desire to be connected to Source, to be free, and to be in control of their own creating.
To do this type of protection we do not need to believe in Source. All that is required is a belief in the power of positive energy (love). Those who do not
believe in Source can use the following exercise to protect themselves:
"I call upon love (positive energies) to surround me, to keep all negative energies and thought forms that are not mine out of my energy field."
The Energy Exercises will assist you in your spiritual awakening. Each time you use them, it will assist you in linking again with Source or Source.
*Oneness is what motivates us to have relationships with others, to re-experience the Oneness that is our reality in the realms of light where we
originated. Oneness is the force that empowers gravity. Everything is energy and all energy is interconnected, and as a consequence, all energy fields have
a natural affinity for each other.
**The combination of all our soul aspects makes up the greater collective consciousness known as our "soul" or "oversoul". Our soul exists in the realms of light; it is only the soul aspects that separate from the greater self or totality of the Soul, to explore this dual realm of fear and love. Just as Source has separated a part of itself to explore the universe, so does our soul. The saying, "we are all created in the image of Source", means we are all part of that aspect of Source.
Our physical body is incapable of containing the totality of our soul. As a consequence, only a small part of our soul infuses our physical body in each
lifetime. This is called our soul aspect. The energies that make up our soul aspect can be broken down into various energy bodies. These non-physical bodies form the templates that give form to our physical body. It would serve us well to be aware of our emotional body and mental body. It is through these
"bodies" that we create our own reality. Given that energy follows intent or desire, it is important to note that we use our mental body to decide what we
want to create, and our emotional body to empower that creation.
