Once again, the world feels as if things are turning upside down. Worse yet, it seems impossible to know what to do when the distressing event involves other countries, on another continent.
The way I see it, we’ve reached a point in human evolution where we cannot find our way without help,
Help? What kind of help?
We can increase our resourcefulness in two ways—by expanding our own consciousness, and by engaging with the unseen beings inhabiting subtle energy fields that are the matrix we live in.
How?
How can we both expand ourselves and connect with beings that exist in the subtle realms? And why would we?
Both good questions, because in the Western world, we’ve grown up in a culture that ignores and even denies the existence of anything beyond what we can see. So culturally, we have neither the mindset nor the tools to discover the greater scope of both our inner and outer worlds.
Yet that is where our superpowers lie. That is where we access the wisdom that comes from greater knowing. And it is that knowing which helps us make sense of what’s going on in the world.
How do we access greater knowing?
The short answer is—we gain access as we remove energetic clutter from our personal energy fields.
I’ve been at this for quite a while, trying many modalities of energy work—all aimed at clearing energy blockages, one way or another. What I know is that the clearer my field, the more expansive I’ve become and the easier it is to access my team of invisible helpers.
Removing our energetic clutter makes us much more prepared and resourceful for navigating difficult times. You could compare it to tidying up an extremely messy room.
Imagine you were living in a space where you regularly dropped things in the spot where you’d been using them. And all those dirty socks, unwashed dishes, and half-read books accumulated from one month to the next. Can you feel how difficult it would be to cross the room after a few months?
Then suppose you got fed up with the situation and cleared away everything that wasn’t meant to be there. Can you imagine the relief you’d feel once you were able to live your daily life unhampered by clutter?
It’s the same in your energy field. You can navigate your life more freely, and with confidence, once you’ve removed your energetic clutter. (P.S. We all have it, whether we recognize it or not.)
My tried-and-true tools…
There is a whole field of Energy Psychology that can teach us how to clear our inner clutter. The following are my top three favourite methods because they’re easy to learn, there’s plenty of free information available, and you can do the work yourself without having to pay a practitioner.
And most of all, they are surprisingly effective considering how simple each of them is.
1. Energy activations…
Start here, especially if you’re feeling frayed or frazzled by what’s going on in the world these days.
Below are links to several energy activations which you can listen to as often as you like. Although they may seem like guided meditations, activations are actually different. Here’s how they are described by their creator, Sarah McCrum.
An Energy Activation is a deeply relaxing audio experience that guides your energy into a new formation. It’s best to listen in a comfortable chair [or lying down if you won’t fall asleep] with your eyes closed.
You’ll find that I speak quite slowly, with gaps of silence between the sentences. These help you to calm down, relax deeply and experience the deeper resonance of the message I’m sharing.
- Stabilize Your Energy
- Relax when things are changing
- Your body is your friend
- Deeper Relaxation
- Release Deep Tiredness
To find more free activations, go to Sarah’s Youtube channel, Playlists tab. Most of the above are found under the Wellbeing tab, but there are plenty more videos to explore on that page. Programs and items for purchase are on Sarah’s website.
2. EFT Tapping…
Tapping, also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), is a powerful stress-relief technique.
Tapping is based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology.
While maintaining your mental focus on an issue, you use your fingertips to tap 5-7 times on 9 specific meridian points of the body.
Tapping has been clinically proven to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) in your body. Stress impacts every aspect of your life, from your financial choices to your health. Learn how to calm your nervous system, reduce your stress, and bring your body and mind back into balance.
The above is quoted from the website of The Tapping Solution, which has lots of information and demonstrations to explain further.
Their 14th annual free World Tapping Summit started on February 28, 2022. If you’ve never participated in an online summit, here’s how it works: Each day for ten days, you receive links to interviews featuring practitioners who use tapping for themselves and their clients.
Signing up for the Summit is an excellent introduction to tapping because you can see it in action, and tap along to experience the process. EFT tapping is amazingly simple, considering how quick and effective it is. Even though you’ll miss the first couple days, it is worth signing up here.
Other resources include:
- Brad Yates on YouTube where you can tap along to short videos on many different topics.
- Psychologist Dawson Church’s work with tapping for trauma includes bullying and PTSD.
3. Emotion Code clearing…
The Emotion Code is a method for identifying and releasing trapped negative emotions that we carry around from past events and traumas.
In this full-length interview, founder Dr. Bradley Nelson gives an overview of how The Emotion Code works. His YouTube Channel is a good way to further familiarize yourself with this method of energy work.
The Emotion Code book teaches you what you need to know to start using this on yourself. But if you prefer to work with someone who is experienced in using the Emotion Code, find a practitioner here. You can select a practitioner from anywhere in the world because subtle energy work can be done from a distance.
Try it. You might like it.
Try it. You might like it. Does anyone else remember your mother saying that? Usually when she was trying to get you to eat or do something unfamiliar?
Do you also remember that it was usually better than you expected?
If you think this energy work sounds weird, I’m guessing that’s because these methods are unfamiliar to you. If you can get past that and give them a try, you may be pleasantly surprised at how wonderful it feels to start clearing the clutter that’s lodged in your energy field.
Laurana,
I love the comparison of our energy fields to a messy room, and boy has my room been messy. After a week of activations I am much more grounded and better equipped to make sense of what is going on inside me and in the world around me. I was introduced to EFT many years ago and then again during my sessions with you. Although it proved effective for me both times, continued practice apparently got lost in the clutter. Thank you for the reminder. ❤️
Your comments are much appreciated Susan — not only as feedback for me, but also because other readers can benefit from your experience. Wishing you all the best on this next leg of your journey.
