The whole energetic environment is going to show up wherever you are. There is nowhere to run. You have to stop and do the inner work. You have to nurture your energy to vibrate at a higher frequency.
When you begin to feel a toxic emotional buildup, you may try to clear negative energy yourself. I never gave up trying to find out how to heal my life. Why did I attract bad relationships. Why couldn’t I make friends. Why was I broken. All negative energy. Blocks and baggage that just kept weighing me down. I cried a lot. What was wrong with me.
I took up Astrology and found a few tough aspects playing out in my life. True to the plans of the universe, I had attracted environmental input that resulted in difficulties that I struggled to deal with. It was my contract.
I just wanted to get rid of the problem, pushing it away so I didn’t have to deal with it. I worked on visualization and manifestation. I tried to become who I wanted to be. I tried to astral travel to heal my life from above and it was then I discovered energy work.
I saw that my childhood play of building energy balls in my hands and throwing them was not a delusion. I was in fact playing with a subtle force.
It dawned on me that energy holds a charge. A charge that was programmed with intent. If I tried to get rid of it, would I be left void of an opportunity to reprogram the charge with an alternative intent?
I heard whispers of how to use negative energy for good and I just could not make sense of it. How can negative energy be positive? The answers came as I was practiced my energy work.
I am an avid recycler and I discovered that to my amazement, you can recycle energy. Rather than throw it out, transform it into something beautiful. Look at mother earth doing her thing, recycling water through evaporation, recycling organic matter by decomposing, and my favorite is the earthworm, recycling organic waste into food for the soul of the Gaia, mother earth.
Clearing Energy Blocks by Transformation
So, I suggest, rather than clearing negative energy yourself, learn how to work with gaining the understanding of what the energy matter needs for transformation. What is the missing element. When you can learn how to do this, you have not only lightened your load, but you have also lifted your spirit.
This is the alchemy of turning lead into gold. How do you do it? By pouring light into your shadow, your dark side, your negative energetic composition that is in need of transformation so that you can live a life free of heavy drama.
I hear you! How do you pour light into your shadow. What does it even look like? It seems inaccessible, yet here in society we have people talking about shadow work. What is shadow work?
Accessing and healing your difficult energetic subconscious thought patterns, memories, and beliefs that lead to painful emotions can be challenging. Any modality that can do this, is shadow work, or as the ancients called it, working with your dark side. These are the emotional parts that you have previously tried to avoid because they are painful, they make you feel weak. The problem is, the more you ignore them, they just keep coming back with a greater force and they feed of negativity.
4 Wants
Toxic emotions can often develop through one or more of 4 wants: Control, Security, Acceptance and Escape
The lack of Control, the absence of Security or failing to find Acceptance can lead to the search to Escape your environment, relationship or yourself.
Control
When we experience trauma, we feel trapped in a disruptive environment or situation. We have no means of changing anything that is not going well for us. Our nervous system is sparking alarm signals and there is nothing to signal that all will be well. For each person, the degree of trauma is different, however it is energy trapped in the cellular structure of the body that is linked to the thought field and memory of our consciousness through the nervous system. The energy is trapped because we perceive that we are trapped. We have no control.
When a similar situation arises later on in life we are triggered. Once triggered, an outburst may occur. We may then repress or hide the emotion; we try to ignore it. We cannot see ourselves as failing, we have to be survivors, we cannot be weak, we must be strong, it is the other persons fault and go and get on your bike. Repressed again, the energy builds. Things begin to get worse, more triggers, more feelings of being trapped. Ring a bell?
Insecurity
What about security. Where are we going to live, are we financially secure, do we have enough to survive comfortably. We want to live comfortably. Is there anything that has happened or that is happening that is compromising your security.
Need for Acceptance
Where does acceptance take its place. Do you belong in a tribe, are you loved, will you breed, will you have support, are you a winner, do you have what it takes to be valued, wanted, respected. Do you have the backbone for success in societies eyes?
Escape
The want to escape sets in when one or more of the other 3, control, security or acceptance are not in taking place in your life. You may be at a point where you just want to leave it all behind. One problem. Your energy pattern is playing out. The whole energetic environment is just going to show up wherever you are. There is nowhere to run.
You have to stop and do the inner work. You have to nurture your energy to vibrate at a higher frequency.
By going deep within your emotions and feeling what their energetic structure is, we can capture an understanding of how they are playing out, where they developed. We can even ask questions and get replies by reading the flavors of energetic feedback, viewing the images shown to you and hearing the whispers for clarity. In doing this we are ACKNOWLEDGING our hidden parts, bringing light into them so that we can gain clarity and nurture transformation with love.
We then gain an understanding of our humanity, an insight to how we function, individually and how others have to deal with their own human shortfalls. It is a path to enlightenment. Once you have understood and accepted the once rejected part, the negative energy, we can now offer empathy. We can offer the perception of everything is as it should be for us to be where we are and develop into who we are to become.
This is not easy to do if you are a shadow work beginner. A good coach or facilitator can help you with alignment, entering and working within your subconscious realms.
Many people have been introduced to Shadow Work Journaling. Working with journal prompts are used to expose emotions and their foundations. Alot of energy can be transformed into love and acceptance with this modality. I occasionally read prompts for discovering some emotions that are not obviously giving me grief. It is a good and methodical approach.
There are times when emotions are running high and you don’t know what shadow work journal prompt to use.
This is where the skill to meet your emotions comes in. Once you learn how to connect, communicate and fully relate to your emotions, the science begins. Your brain synapse is activated, and you can then consciously program your cellular memory to generate a secure and happy reality.
Ingredients for Transformation
Your emotion needs light. Rather than try and get rid of or run from emotions, turn towards them and face them. Allow them to be seen by you, understood and acknowledged. It is only then that you can accept and nurture with love for the transformation recycling process.
The next step is to find acceptance of you, your life and the events that led to this toxic buildup. Allow and feel that it is all in place as a valid part of being human and it is all working for you rather than against you. If you never had challenges, you would never find your way with learning how to transform your life. You would never learn how to raise your vibration by shining light within your shadow.
