Energy Protection and the Lessons of Life

Lately I've been sending out a lot of apology texts "sorry Grandma is too exhausted...". It's probably cos of all the "treatments" I've been doing- and perhaps due to the whole "empathic" thing I've been kind of energy sapped.

Hence people around me have been offering me all kinds of suggestions for how to protect myself...and some of my own experiments. I have a list summary here for my own reference.



1. Essential oils: like Sandalwood, Vetiver, Lavender with petitgrain

2. Walnut Bushflower Essence

3. Space clearing spray

4. Schorl(Black Tourmaline) and Turquoise

5. Dr Hauschka Lavender Moor oil(with peat moss)

6. Say a little prayer before and after treatment.

7. Gonging Tibetan singing bowl

8. Epsom and sea salt baths- if you have time!

9. Washing hands and face before and after treatment.

10. Strengthen self by eating nourishing food and getting plenty of sleep.

11. Wearing BLACK and/or avoiding white.



In any case, yesterday I felt the energy sapping was mainly practical- just from exerting too much physical energy not so much taking on other people's issues...so I think I'm making progress :)

In any case I had an interesting week this week...and I've realised that for me this Healing thing doesn't so much feel like conscious volition, as opposed to obligation I was born with(!) but the awareness and ability to embrace the responsibility is really intensifying with maturity. I realised logically I could just "avoid" tending wounded birds...but they just don't stop coming (especially in my personal life!) So I realised I just have to "adjust" how I am...so now rather than give them how much I feel they need, I just give them as much as I am prepared to give with no expectations of anything in return. And I think that's the *magic balance* I needed strongly in my mindset cos I'm happy and comfortable with that :-)

How do you cleanse of Bad Vibes? Part 2.

Hey, Thanks for the comments! I've just made a follow up post here cos I have quite a few things to say in relation to the post and comments yesterday...

MAN what a day...James, I think you're right - there IS something weird in the air...well at least my past day or two was just so...intense and unusual! It was totally hectic today and then I even came back to 25 emails...which is highly unusual for me!

The weirdest coincidence was that I incidentally met a good friend who also had my exact same Bad Vibes experience from yesterday happen to her Today (a.ka. Tall Poppy Syndrome)- it seems to be such a disease afflicting the people in this country for some reason...and the same reason why so many I know have gone overseas for better opportunities in their career and most importantly to not be "held back"!

Just on the note of Moon effects though...I don't know if I necessarily associate the moon with "bad" vibes per se but I do notice that people can go a little crazy when it's a full moon- I know I am susceptible...There is a long running joke that I turn into a werewolf if I'm shone on by a full moon at midnight LOL- I do often get restless and crazy kind of like when you get caught up in the elements of strange weather. It seems especially heightened when there is an eclipse.

Shan, I think also for us girls when it's "that time of month" our protective aura or whatever is weaker...not that I'm dismissing it as sensitivity over other people's crap that would have affected me regardless, but you do get more affected by negative vibes at these times which reminds me of *** other "cleansing" strategies I irresponsibly left off my list..

HELPFUL PRODUCTS-no I don't get paid to spruik...(wouldn't mind though ;)

***Rescue Remedy!! I need to go get some- I know many people who SWEAR by this stuff (a couple of drops under the tongue) in times of acute stress/trauma!

Also, I really like ***Dr Hauschka's Moor Lavender Body Oil...Lavender is very calming and soothing and Peat Moss is a very protective shield for the body especially against Electromagnetic Radiation etc so great before flying and great if you're sensitive to being sandwiched between so many transmissions towers and people who can't survive without their portable wireless electronic devices like I am! Or if you have a "weak etheric body"...

Healingstones, Thanks for the Vetiver tip! I've looked it up and it has very impressive energetics even by TCM standards! I think when you do alot of energy work and get bogged down by all your patients' baggage/sickness, even just washing your hands and face helps..I also think spraying the room with some clearing, cleansing and positive essential oils (I like eucalyptus, lemon, lavender, orange and bergamot oils for this purpose) help. I can't remember what Vetiver smells like but I think it is related to something else...petitgrain...?

Asianmommy, yes I was debating whether to put ***"chat with a good friend" on the list...as long as you pick the right good friend...some, like the one today had a great comforting vibe like a warm snug blanket on a cold day...some, just stress me out more!LOL

And finally, like the children's wards in certain hospitals actually do...***Turn on your Himalayan salt lamp! Their gentle pink ray is very comforting :) When they get warm they also emit negative ions...benefits of which you can read about in depth here.

p.s I instinctively got drawn to 2 bonafide Australian desert rocks I picked up in the middle of nowhere from my box of rocks to place under my pillow before bed...I never noticed them before actually-usually I will go for polished bought tumblestones...in any case I had Remarkable sleep for once!

The two rocks don't look impressive or identifiable but they have a very special feel and energy about them and I have no idea what kind of rocks they are...I actually suspect they might be meteorite fragments!!!(honestly...they are kind of out of this world looking...in a humble kind of way.)

How do you "cleanse" of Bad Vibes?

Found myself totally drained and downed by "Bad Vibes" today. Hence ended up compiling this list of my favourite "cleansing" strategies...

1. Go swim in the ocean-if not possible at least walk barefoot on the sand through the waves along the beach.

Should 1. not be possible then

2. Take a seasalt or epsom salt bath with some relaxing essential oils such as lavender...

3. Walk barefoot on grass.

4. Listen to cleansing music such as Lisa Gerrard, opera or classical-very loud.

5. Gong a tibetan singing bowl for a long time.

6. Handle appropriate rocks/crystals!

7. Write it out.

8. SLEEP-tomorrow is always a New Day!

9. Do Yoga, Qi Gong/Breathwork or Meditate.

Today was especially urgent so I ended up implementing nos 2,4,5 and 7 and intend to round up with 6 and 8 :p

p.s to get the gist of some of the problem I endured today go read this super post by Shannanigans, and whatever you do do not miss THIS VIDEO!!
