I remember when, years ago, I was still in training, gaining command of my abilities. I had some excellent teachers along the way, thanks to my parents who recognized the abilities for what they were. Many folks assume that when a child begins displaying certain abilities that it is a psychological or psychiatric issue. I am not saying that every person who displays certain traits is in no need of psychological or psychiatric aid. I think a majority do require this. I do, however, think that there are a number of gifted individuals who, out of complete ignorance on the part of medical and religious institutions, have been medicated needlessly when, in fact, what they required was an experienced gifted person to train them. Once trained, the abilities can be put to constructive use. Without training, they simply express themselves in ways that can be quite destructive. It is not like this is avoided at all with medications.
Many gifted people will actually turn to drugs or alcohol as a means of coping with and, hopefully, shutting off their gifts, which they see more as a curse because they are trying to fit into the muggle lifestyle. I also know a few who have decided to end their lives because the struggle with lack of training is too painful. I find this to be incredibly sad because these folks were a gift to this world and this world destroyed them. I have come incredibly close to this end myself on a few occasions. But something had me just hold on for now. There was always the inner wisdom voice that would whisper words of encouragement. Later on there was the fact that I could not do that to my children. So, I would hold on and continue practicing my training and put my gifts to good use.
Something that most humans don’t realise is that there are two sides to the gifts. You see, everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, emits energy. That energy can be beautiful and supportive or it can be toxic and anything inbetween those two extremes. But most of society does not even want to acknowlege that the energy even exists. Science is just beginning to discover the many ramifications of that awareness. It now knows that it exists, but it does not know why or how to control it. I hope that Science never discovers fully how to control it because then it will surely be put to disasterous use!
I feel that it is the responsibility of each individual to learn how to become in charge of their own energy systems. That is why I do the Shamanic work that I do. If, through healing work utilizing the energy system and through training of each individual, I can create a world in which more and more people become aware of their own energy system and how to attend to it, then the world will gradually become a more peaceful place in which to live. I can only do this work one person at a time. But every time healing work is done with one person, it ripples out into the person’s family, friends, and society at large. It is like dropping a pebble into a body of water and watching the resulting ripple extend out to the farthest edges of that body of water.
The more positive and constructive energy we emit, the better the result. That does not mean that we are not allowed to resist negative energies emphatically and aggressively. On the contrary. In order to know how to keep our peace we sometimes have to know how to push. But pushing does not have to look like violence. It can look like self-control. It can look like self-discipline. It can look like holding space while you calculate a strategy. But mostly it looks like self-maintenance.
It becomes important for one to learn how to establish and maintain energetic protective bands, protective pillars and the Medicine Shield. These are aspects of the energy system that, frankly, we have been groomed to ignore. After all, when we attend to these aspects of our energy field, we become soveriegn. We are not needing to be part of the herd mentality. We can stand on our own. But the powers that be (political, scientific, and religious) most often want sheep that they can herd in one direction or another, or that they can distract from what is really happening behind the curtain. When we maintain those energetic systems we increase our critical thinking, thus smashing through the illusions of life that are set up all around us in order to control us.
For example, often people will snicker and laugh when someone talks about crystal energy. Yet Science and Engineering have utilized crystal energy for quite some time! So, what is there to laugh and snicker about? This only shows your own ignorance. People are more confortable with believing in some white bearded man in the sky looking over them and judging their every move than they are with the knowledge that crystals emit energy that can be harnessed and utilized. For me, that contradiction is astounding.
With the fact that everything and everyone emits energy, it becomes extremely important for us to learn about energy and how to become more energetically aware, both with the energy surrounding us as well as that which moves throughout our own energy systems. I see this as “the more you learn, the more tools you have in the bag.” Everything you learn about your energy system and how to maintain and grow it is important, no matter where you learn it from. Study, watch videos, find a teacher such as myself or someone else who is experienced in these things. And know that you have likely only scratched the surface of what you think you have mastered. I have been at this for over 60 years and through many past lives that I remember and I am still learning stuff. Nobody is a Grand Poobah when it comes to this. We can only learn and pass on what we have learned. But also know that this consciouness is also encoded into your Sacred DNA (the energy blueprint of well-being) and that, through accessing that code you will be able to open up awareness that would have otherwise taken lifetimes to unlock. So, buckle up! It is gonna be a WILD RIDE!
