Protection #9

Before continuing with this blog, please review Creating #2 to make sure you understand how to “run your energy.”

Many students seem to believe they need to protect themselves from energy attacks. As a rule, I would say, “Yes, you do.” However, I would also say you can better protect yourself by frequently changing your energy, your grounding cord, and replenishing the energy in your space.

Many of these same students often create a wall of “white light” to protect themselves. I find this poor substitute for changing your energy, your grounding cord and replenishing your energy. I say this because when you create a “white light” barrier, it will keep out everything–even what you want to experience. So, the intention in your creation of a white light barrier is the key to how this form of protection serves you, or not.

For example, I have seen people pray at a person needing healing. In doing so, they send prayer energy, often white light, to surround the patient. Instead of healing the patient, this creates a barrier for the patient in healing themselves. So, instead of helping, this prayer energy creates problems for the patient. (If you want to send a healing prayer, direct God to perform the healing.)

The energy in your space will always change and will always be influenced by the energy in your surroundings and the energy sent in your direction. This is part of your life experience. You want to experience life, for example, love, joy, loss, and even pain and each has its own energy. So, instead of blocking out everything by creating an impenetrable barrier; check your energy space by frequently changing your energy, changing your grounding cord, and replenishing your energy. In most cases this will protect you and allow you to experience life.

You can also create a symbol at the edge of your personal space to give you a signal about the energy directed at you. You can also use this symbol to deflect the energy. Your symbol will become damaged in due time, so destroy it and create another one with the intention of performing the task you want. This technique is useful because it gives you both a warning of energy directed at you, and it is a tool to deflect and protect you.

Years ago, a shaman asked me to do a reading. His question was, “How can I hide from those hunting me?” Since everyone has a unique energy signature, the intelligence service agents hunting him could, in fact, locate him if they were close enough. The shaman had already created symbols in his neighborhood that would warn him about these types of intruders, but these same symbols could be used by the agents to help find him because they were created with the shaman’s energy.

Again, how you create and use energy symbols, i.e., the intention in your creation, is all important. The shaman could have created symbols to misdirect the hunters to a different location, and still give him a warning of their approach. He could have also created a symbol that he recently moved, or (even) disappeared to confuse the hunters. Your creativity in your use of symbols or energy is endless, just keep it simple.

Another, more esoteric, form of protection is non-resistance. This requires you to not resist or react to the energy directed at you. This, obviously, seems to be difficult because, generally, you are reactive to what is happening around you. This technique requires you to “let go,” –let the energy flow through you and not react to it, while just observing it neutrally.

Here is an example of non-resistance. Years ago, I was entering a busy three lane highway, but a car was speeding rapidly behind cars blocking each lane. As I entered the nearest lane of traffic, the speeding car was forced to swerve across all the lanes in front of me to avoid hitting the cars blocking his forward progress. Instead of panicking, I just neutrally observed the out-of-control speeding car’s direction and timed my own vehicle’s course to travel untouched through the developing accident. My non-resistance to the event allowed me to not participate in the accident. To summarize, use these tools to reconstitute your personal energy space as needed. Use your meditation practice to establish a baseline of well-being, so you have the awareness of changes in your energy. And, understand you do not have to become the effect of the energy of your surroundings.

#8 Seeing, Knowing, and Feeling

Most of you have been taught to discount, ignore, or reject your intuition. It may take a while to regain your intuitive skills, and your personal Practice will help clear out your chakras to regain your abilities.

If you take to heart the previous blogs, you should understand that I want you to See, Know, and Feel what you are doing in Finding the Source, in your personal Practice, and in your Spiritual Healing.

Your personal Practice will lead you to a closer relationship to your God because it will clear out the impediments in your communication with your God and yourself. The techniques I have shared will with you will bring your clarity where there was obstruction, simplicity where there was confusion, and a sense of peace where there was complexity and upheaveal.

As you become clearer, you will see, know, and feel what is TRUE. You will literally See what is TRUE. You will Know what is TRUE. And Feel what is TRUE. You will not have to rely on someone else’s perception of the TRUTH, and instead, you will See, Know, and Feel what is TRUE for you!

The techniques I have shared with you are deceptively very powerful. Many of you will discount them as useless and give up. However, if you do use them over time, you will achieve the clarity, simplicity and peace you are seeking. You will be able to See, Know, and Feel your TRUTH.

Choosing Not to Heal #7

If you are reading this, I bet many of you are healers, too. By using this term “healers” I mean you feel responsible for the well-being of others. You might be in the medical professions, a counselor, a social worker, a care giver, or just someone people go to feel better. I am a healer myself and much of my personal identity has been wrapped up in feeling obligated to heal others.

One of issues I faced is deciding when NOT to heal. For most of my life, however, I felt compelled to heal. I spent many years in the helping professions: as a counselor, a community organizer, a professor and as a minister. Often, after a hard week, I would have to hide out to recover from giving so much of myself away.  I had to learn, the hard way, to choose when to heal AND to choose when NOT to heal.

In a previous section, I mentioned that healers need to learn how to separate from their clients. You need to learn, and practice, ending the healing session by consciously separating your energy from that of your client and recharging your own energy levels. This will help you not feel depleted after a healing session. Remember, do this after each healing session because if you don’t their energy and problems will be yours.  There are far too many sick healers out there who have become ill by not taking care of themselves in this way.

Another issue I have faced is the fear of not being able to heal someone. There have been times when I have faced clients with tumors or gangrene limbs, or some other insurmountable disease or injury. What I have noticed cropping up is my own feelings of fear and inadequacy. Instead of focusing on these negative thoughts, patiently step back and gather yourself and allow yourself to do the healing. Know that the limits you have placed on a healing’s success are your own. There are really no limits, except for what the client or God have set.

For example, I met a woman who had stage 4 cancer. She had worked hard to do everything possible to get her cancer in remission. I noticed that she was still struggling and offered to give her a healing. She refused my help because she wanted to continue the struggle and learn, for herself, how to heal her body. She wanted to validate her experience and power to heal herself, so I let her.

In another example I was asked to heal a woman suffering from an unknown digestive tract disease that was killing her. I asked her to seek out medical help, but she had a real fear of western medicine and hospitals. I did multiple healings on her over several weeks, but I noticed, for the first time, that my healing only slowed the disease process, but did not eliminate it. I was troubled by this result and told her. I did not understand why my efforts seemed to not create the results that she, and I, wanted. So, I asked God. He/she said that he/she had other plans for her. The woman died within two weeks in hospice care. A healing works with the grace of God, so I had to learn how to let go, and let God.

Two Methods of Healing

After my seminary training I traveled around the world to see how other spiritual practitioners performed healings. I witnessed Filipino, Tibetan, Asian-Indian, church-sponsored healers, psychics, and Indigenous healers practice their healing skills. Some of the rituals used were very ancient and primitive. Some healers knew how they manipulated energy, but most had no real awareness or understanding of how, or why, their healings worked, or failed to work. Most were trained by some previous practitioner and peddled their skills solely on their faith in their teachers.

Please do not misunderstand me, I am not making a judgement on the skills of these healers. Many are excellent healers! I am, however, asking you to “know” how your style of healing works, or fails to be successful. Having faith in yourself, and your God, is only one component of a healing. The other is to consciously (intentionally) know what you are actually doing in directing a healing.

I have seen healers sacrifice some animal, wave a feather or some other prop, or chant over patient—all to change the energy. However, most of these healers are not aware of what they are actually doing, except for performing a ritual. I want you to know, see and feel what you are doing. I want you to understand how you are manipulating the energy to heal. It takes only a slight shift in your perception to do this.

Use the techniques in Series 4 to clear out the energy in your own space that does not allow you to know, see, and/or feel how the healing is working. Trust yourself—there is no one better. You can do anything in a healing from changing the energy alignment to repairing the cells in the body. After performing the healing consciously make a separation and replenish your own energy.

Rule #3 How do you know what energy you have (or you are using)? You do so by knowing, seeing, and/or feeling the energy. Trust yourself. There is no fixed definition of a particular energy. Look at it for yourself.

Healing

Healing is the ability to change energy with the intent of improving some outcome. In your normal ritual practice, you ARE giving yourself a healing by consciously directing the flow of the energy in your space. The same dynamic occurs when you are directing a healing to another person.

“Dis-ease” is just that! It is an energy, often, coupled with an emotionally-charged experience, embedded in your body causing a disease, or discomfort.  It is “yours’ to fix, with the help of others, because it is in your personal universe. Do not disown it. To change the dis-ease, you need to own it to command a change. You may encounter the feelings of fear that the disease is more powerful than you. However, nothing is more powerful than you. You have the power to command energy, and thus you can change the dis-ease.

For example, I was repeatedly medically tested and diagnosed with COPD. This is a chronic, progressive, and terminal lung disease. My lung capacity fell to 47% and was worsening quickly. I, then, decided to change the energy of this disease. After four months of daily energy work focusing on my COPD, I was tested again, but this time my lung capacity score was 110% for my age and gender. I had fixed my damaged lungs and created ones that were similar to a competitive athlete.

A key component of a healing is the decision to change. A healing will not be successful without an agreement to be healed.  To illustrate this point, a person who has an alcohol abuse problem cannot be healed, until and unless, they choose to change. Even if you do a healing, they will recreate the energy of the disease until they choose to change. Therefore, gaining one’s permission to be healed is key because it denotes a willingness to change and the acceptance of a healing.

“Let go and let God” is a phrase you can use to guide you in a healing.

A healing is an active decision to make to change (with permission). A healing should be effortless. If it is not, it means you have hit the energy of fear that has curtailed your own self-confidence. Recognize this, and patiently find your way through it. Discover a sense of playfulness to command the energy to change. Being in alignment with your concept of God will allow you to create miracles with ease.

“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, …” (John 14:12)

Use the tools in “Series 4 Energy Flow” to change the energy. Remember to replace and create energy in affinity to the person you are healing. Other- wise, they will not be able to continue to heal themselves.

I have often seen people pray “at” someone.  This prayer energy often blocks the ability of the person to heal themselves because the energy is foreign to their body. One should, instead direct their prayers to God for help in a healing. God will ensure the energy is in affinity to the one being healed.

I have witnessed two types of healings. There is often some differences in the ritual props or practices involved in the healings, but a healing usually is done with 1. Your own energy or 2. The energy of a spirit guide, ancestor, or deceased teacher. Either one can be effective.

If you choose to use your own energy to heal another, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. The first, is whether or not your energy will work well in your patient. Make sure the energy you use is in affinity with the one you are healing. Another concern is that you, the healer, may feel depleted or exhausted after giving away your energy. Remember to separate from the healing when you finish and replenish your energy.

In the second type of healing, the healer uses a spirit guide to perform the healing. The healer often does not know or see how they are actually doing the healing. They are just performing the mechanics of the healing in the way they were taught—something akin to being a blind surgeon.

In this latter case the healer needs to create, and enforce, an agreement with the spirit guide performing the healing. What I have seen far too often is that the spirit guide “takes over” the body of the healer. Over time this injures the healer’s body because it is “foreign” energy. As a healer, you need to direct the spirit guide to not only heal the patient, but also to not injure you. Clear boundaries and separation from a spirit guide will allow you to continue your work without ill-health consequences.


Using a spirit guide is often sold to the healer as being better than directing the healing himself. The healer often succumbs to this belief as his ego is praised by his patients and the spirit guide. In time the healer, then, loses his own faith in himself and his control over the spirit guide.
