Sometimes, healers and lightworkers may get into a loop believing that if they are entrusted to heal others, that they must be at a perfect stage in life. But, is this really possible or even sustainable? To ask ourselves a further question, can we really help others heal if we cannot recognise our own need for healing and to heal ourselves?

There is no shame in falling apart or making mistakes. Most healers are healers precisely because they have gone through trauma themselves and wish to help others who are suffering. So, if it is your experience of your past traumas that led to your desire to serve, why run away from other traumas you may face? Perhaps, these new traumas will also lead to your greater service of others as you heal from it?

Everything around us is made up of energy. This is not just true in the domain of spirituality but also proven by conventional science. We and indeed, other living beings, are continuously affected by vibrations around us.

This also means that we have the power to create the energy that we want around us. In other words, there is no need to fear negativity. Rather, we can feel empowered with the knowledge that we can change what does not nourish us when we are aware. From this awareness we can live with the understanding that everything is mutable, that energy can be transmuted.

Have you entered a space and immediately felt uplifted by it or, have you attended events and met people whose positivity was contagious and made you feel joyful? Have there been times where you have been in the presence of such peace and calm that the effects linger within and around you for hours or days to come?

Conversely, have you had encounters where the negativity of someone brings you down, or worse, drains you? Have you inhabited spaces which just didn’t feel quite right and had an adverse effect on you emotionally, mentally and even physically? This is not to say that others may have the conscious decision to harm you. They could just simply have formed a negative opinion about you which they have not released and have put on you.

Because of how psychic we all are we are more often than not, afraid of the judgments of others. For example, we may stay in a job we don’t like, dress in a certain way, drive a particular type of car, dine at a specific restaurant or reside within a given postcode, not because we actually want to, but because we want others not to judge us”. The energy we can invest in avoiding judgement tells us how uncomfortable it feels.

In the same vein, our positive thoughts about others and the loving energy that we send them also have an uplifting effect on them. It can also raise our own vibrations to be within this field of loving positivity. This explains why prayers and high vibration words are able to heal and comfort.

Our energies do overlap with that of others and we do have the ability to affect one another. When we are happy, we can make the people around us feel happy. When we emit serenity, we have the ability to influence our surroundings to similarly be an oasis of calm. On the reverse, if we do not check in with or look after our own emotional and spiritual wellbeing, we may project our own anger or frustration outward, negatively impacting those around us. This same principle works for everyone which means that we have the power to influence what we want around us.

We all have both darkness and light within us. If we don't acknowledge our dark sides and learn to bring light to illuminate our shadows, we can unconsciously put this on someone else. If we are not aware of our own energetic hygiene, we may not recognise that these negative energies, which are not from us, are taking over.

This does not have to be an inevitable occurrence in which we have no ability to control. Far from it - there are many ways we can protect our energy spaces. We also have to take ownership of what we put out there. As the Hermetic principle goes - as within so without, as above, so below.

Our desire to connect to something sacred is hardwired into our DNA. Although we may have forgotten our connection to the divine, it is still there, awaiting to be reawakened.

Our fixation with looking outwards comes chiefly from an imbalance between our physical and spiritual selves. In our modern life, where the ancient ways have been neglected, there appears to be no fixed point or centre. In other words, we have not made space for a pillar to the divine, living solely within the limitations of our minds and the constraints of our physicality.

The ability to create our own sacred spaces is our birthright. It first comes from inwardly acknowledging the sacred. From within it filters outwards to the spaces in which we inhabit. Instead of looking out to in, we need to look from in to out. We can rediscover the holy places of our private universe by surrendering ourselves to the power of the sacred.

By recognising our divinity and oneness with the universe, we can harness the regenerative power or energy that exists for both our personal use and for social regeneration. We can quite literally heal the world by beginning with the healing of ourselves and our personal spaces.

Indeed, many of the wise masters of old have studied the concept of creating space through the contemplation of divine proportion and geometric patterns which are fundamental to the creation and perpetuation of life in the universe.

These masters understood that we have the power to create the space we want. The space does not create us.

We only have to understand that we have mastery over space! Not vice versa.

We are all composed of many complex energy bodies, systems and structures. One such system is the etheric body.

Etheric energy is based on Three Wills: the Will of God, the Will of the Universe/Nature and the Will of Humans.

For us to be in perfect balance and to progress on our path, all three of these energies must flow in harmony - in the clockwise direction.

As human beings, however, our Human Will tends to flow anti-clockwise. In other words, contrary to the Will of God and the Will of the Universe / Nature.
