Are You Getting Your Daily Soul Vitamins?

Many of you are aware that the physical body needs certain nutrients to function properly. As educated members of modern society most of you, to various degrees, will provide your body with the necessary supplements and will react quickly to any signs of deficiency.

Now, let me ask you this:

Are you paying equal attention to your energetic bodies and soul needs? That’s right, our souls are equally dependent on getting life affirming nutrients as our physical bodies are.

So, how can you assure that your soul gets what it needs?

Step one:

Find out what supplements your energy body!

Here is a list of common activities that can fit the bill. As you read it, pay attention to which items resonate with you on a deep level. The stronger the craving, the more depleted your system is in that particular area.

1.    Walks in nature (be specific, what kind of nature do you envision? Ocean, forest, mountain…allow your intuition to fill in the blanks)

2.    Quiet time during the day, meaning, you give yourself permission to let the world go by. No texting, emailing, phone calls, no Internet, no music or other virtual distractions and no interactions with fellow human beings. You are too busy to make this happen? How about ten minutes here or there? Maybe, use your time in the shower or on your way to work? You can make it happen if this is the nutrient your soul needs.

3.    Spending special time with loved ones. The soul thrives on love exchange, so do create the space in your daily life to interact, celebrate and appreciate the people and beings (i.e. furry friends) in one hundred and one creative ways.

4.    What I have always wanted to do…is how the soul expresses its needs in reoccurring desires. This could be anything from taking a painting or a cooking class, daily journaling, skydiving, or a journey to a specific geographic location. Again, listen to yourself! What have you always wanted to do and not made the time for. If your dreams are above your current budget, find ways to supplement the experience. Let’s say you have always wanted to go to Thailand. Until you actually get there, seek out local experiences that expose you to Thai culture and frequency (art, movies, cuisine, music etc.).  

5.    Music, movies and books can be a source of soul vitamins.

6.    Are you making soul-honoring choices in business, friendships and daily routines?

7.     What’s your motivation when it comes to workouts and hobbies? The atmosphere we create for ourselves has a huge impact in whether our soul gets its proper nourishment or not. Any task performed with joy, fun while taking ones daily energy into consideration will be much healthier approach than one of iron fist discipline and a lack of compassion for daily biorhythms.

8.    Are you making enough time for your spiritual practice?

These are, as always, just some examples of areas in life that can hold soul nutrients. Feel free to add on for yourself as needed.

Do supplement your soul often and as needed.

Otherwise, you run the risk of developing some deficiency symptoms which could include everything from a general feeling of blah, to some forms of mild depression, annoyance, disenchantment with life, a sense of being unfulfilled, boredom, lack of life force and the loss of soul sparkles and charisma.

So make sure to get your daily dose of soul supplements today!   

Protection Manual: Useful Tips and Troubleshooting

One of the repeat items we all have to deal with is protection. This post is dedicated to energetic protection.

Let's start by getting a visual idea. The physical body has an immune system to protect it from disease. We can either, support and strengthen the immune system through supplements, a balanced lifestyle, dietary choices etc., or we can weaken it through neglect of our physical bodies, stress and toxic exposure.

  Similarly, we have a system that protects our energy bodies. Imagine yourself watching a cartoon and you can virtually see the energy in vivid color. If the energetic immune system is strong, the person is surrounded by a bubble of bright light possibly tinted in light shades of gold, white, pink, violet or green. This bubble allows light to filter through and purifies/transforms shadows and slimy green energies heading its way. Like a trampoline, unfit energetic clusters bounce off, so that the soul within the protection bubble can maintain its truthful self-expression. As you know from experience, there are times when we happily cruise through life, well protected, capable of holding our alignment even in the midst of challenging energetic circumstances, while at other times the slimy green and black specks make it through and we get sick. When that happens we want to apply some tools to strengthen our protection and to learn valuable lessons, as to why our energetic immune system was compromised in the first place.

1. First of all a couple of 101 reminders:

a) Darkness is the absence of light.

b) The Divine Forces (i.e. Guardian Angles) are not allowed to help unless you ask for it.

So the first thing you want to do when you feel like your protection has been undermined or you need a boost, ask for help!

c) Ask the divine beings to put a protective bubble of white light around your whole being in all time and all space (Visualization of a space-suit like white bubble where negative energies bounce off, Chakra-Meditation (see post), Flower Essences i.e. Golden Armor by Green Hope Farm (see post on Flower Essences) are useful additions to this step).

2. Get in the habit of regular energy clearings. The same way you need to take a shower to maintain your physical cleanliness, it is important to cleanse your aura, home and work space regularly in order to keep your energetic immune system strong. If we go back to our cartoon image you can see that if there are grey smudges in our light bubble, they would appear like cracks and these cracks can undermine our protection (If you are not familiar with clearing procedures yet, I will dedicate a future post just on clearing, in the meantime you might wish to already read the post: The importance of art and objects).

3. If you are dealing with a continuous collapse of your energy protection it is important to start troubleshooting since there are many possible reasons why a soul creates energy cracks due to internal, karmic patterns (read posts on Psychic Sponges, Energy Vampires, Enchantments and Curses).

a) The first step is always to have the awareness and ask the right questions.

Observe the situation and notice if a pattern has been established: "Every time I meet with so-and-so I feel drained. I wonder why?" "Whenever I go to crowded places, I start to feel heavy and tired. What is the reason that I can't stay in my frequency yet?"

b) Scan your system for negative/unresolved emotions like guilt, fear and empathy. We all have moments where we don't feel like we deserve to be in the light and

well-protected while we see other souls suffer. That is one of the things we all have to learn on our path to enlightenment. Can you enjoy your own good karma while others are still battling in hell? Do you allow yourself to have full divine support, even though you have made mistakes? How scared are you of other people's jealousy towards you if things start going too well? Are you addicted to drama because you are getting love and attention from your environment when you suffer? Is your soul committed to suffering because you feel that is the only way you are going to learn and evolve?

These are just a few examples that can lead you to potential internal saboteurs.

When you find an internal aspect that undermines your protection find ways to transmute that aspect. Often times, it is as simple as to make a different choice.

I.e. I am choosing to lead by example and stay in the light, because I can. That way I'll inspire the souls around me to do the same. Other people's jealousy is not my problem; my job is to stand in my truth, not to be a slave to other's dysfunctions. I am here as a student, not a master of this reality; therefore I do deserve a second chance and forgive myself for any wrong doings.

Going back to the cartoon example, the negative emotions have the power to create cracks from the inside. When you fill the cracks with light by transforming the negativity your bubble once more will be intact.

4. As always, this is by no means a complete guide on protection. Add any other tool and method that works for you and stay open and curious, Awareness is the key and all the answers needed will be provided, just stay open and curious!

Modern Day Vampires- They Are After Your Energy, Not Your Blood!

The legend of vampires is ancient and many people might look at it as a myth. Yet there are many ancient myths that carry truth and concepts into our modern day world, vampires just being one of them.
If you look at the image of one being preying on another to survive, you can see that the idea of vampirism isn't too far fetched. The specific kind I want to address is the one that preys on your energy body.

A lot of the time, our modern day vampires are very charming, entertaining, they might be good listeners. On the flip side, the less pleasant version might be a bit more manipulative, provoking you to feel guilty or selfish, if you don't share the goods (your energy). And then there is the silent type; the person at the supermarket, or the party that takes your energy without you ever noticing their existence. Like a thief, as sneaky as a pick-pocked they walk off with part of your belongings.

The way you will know that you got robbed is usually an inexplicable sudden dip in your energy. You were fine walking into the meeting and two hours later you are utterly exhausted, even though you had a pleasant time.
At some point, you might feel burdened by a relationship but the other person has always been so nice to you, that it makes you feel guilty even admitting it to yourself.
Some people respond with anger towards energetic vampires. (Also read post 'The Gauges') You might look like you are being difficult and unfair towards that person, but really listen to the message the anger or annoyance is communicating to you.

The good news is that:
a) you can get your energy back, if you notice that it got stolen and
b)you can work on your energetic protection so that vampires can't plug into your field.

How do you do that?
By asking for it. You may or may not be aware that the divine forces are only allowed to intervene, if we ask for help, unless it is an emergency.
As soon as you realize that some of your energy has been stolen, you ask for it back.

Who do you ask?
You put out your request/prayer to Divine Source/God and any Angel or Master you are working with and you ask for all of your truthful energy to be returned to you in all time and all space healed, transformed and purified (you don't want your laundry back dirty, do you? Who knows where it has been!)
The same way you would request protection in all time and all space. I usually visualize a bubble of white light around me where and vampire will get zapped, if they try to steal anything (why not teach a little lesson, while we are at it?).

Two pointers:
1. If you get robbed of energy even though you had your protection in place, ask yourself where your crack was. Usually you will find yourself having some pity, guilt or anger towards that person who undermined your result not to feed them anymore.
2. Have compassion for the vampires. Even though their actions towards you aren't very nice, remember that the soul's that choose to steal from others, usually feel very depleted and have lost their own connection to Divine Life Force, therefore feeling like they have to take from others. After protecting myself and getting my own energies back, I usually pray for their healing so they might put their vampire ways to rest.
