How’s your PEG (PEG = Personal Energy Grid). Are you sparkling like a night sky full of stars? Are you glowing like a firefly? Or is your wattage so low you look like a lightbulb about to go out?
For the past couple years, we have all been on an energetic rollercoaster and it hasn’t been easy. If you are a therapist or healer, there will have been many demands on your energies as you help your clients to deal with the current rollercoaster ride that life is. Goodness – all this and home life to balance too! Several lightworkers I know are definitely on low wattage, they have been trying to help so many people and have had little time to help themselves. Whoah – stop right there!
Check your PEG right now, how’s it doing? One way you can help yourself is through the Art of Sacred Space. This doesn’t just mean your work and home environment
s, but also your personal Sacred Space, inner and outer. Sacred Space techniques can help you greatly to conserve your personal and psychic energies, ensuring that your PEG doesn’t get drained.
Let’s start with the external environment around you, particularly your work space as a therapist/healer/Lightworker. If you are sharing work space with other professionals, it is absolutely essential to clear the energy in the room of their presence and any energetic fall-out there may have been from their clients. Otherwise you will be dealing with all of that whilst you are trying to work, and you and your clients will not get the best out of the session.
Start the day by clearing the room of any residue energies, you can use “The Cleanser” spray mist to do this, I like to follow this by using our “Angels of Joy” spray mist to invoke the help and protection of the angels for the day’s work. Smudging is a good technique, I personally like the pejuta wakan Sage, as it is so powerful; incense is also good. (Do check that you won’t set off the fire alarms or sprinklers in the building you are in by doing this!). Using the light of a dedicated, lighted candle is also good, as the light will dissolve any lingering darkness.
Case Study #1
On a trip to Europe teaching Space Clearing and the Art of Sacred Space, I had an interesting experience. It was at a new healing centre I had been asked to help out at. It was lovely, small and functional, and the therapist had been working very hard to build her clients and practice. At the time she used a large old fashioned fabric covered chair for the healing sessions (any of you who are NFSH trained will know that this is perfectly okay).
As the next patient came in, I saw the patient sit into the etheric residue of the previous client, in fact there were layers and layers of it trapped in the fabric of the chair. I suggested to the therapist that she use “The Cleanser” spray mist to clear the chair and room in between patients. The resu
lt was instantaneous, the energy in the room lifted and was clean and clear, and at the end of a busy day the therapist realised she was not as exhausted as she usually was.
I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to clear your aura at the end of the day, before you even think about going home. When the clinic is over, clear the room for the last time and give your aura a good spray. That way you won’t be taking home anything you don’t want!
Now I’m not trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs here. I know you all know a million different techniques to use, but what I want to know is how often do you use them? Every day? When you remember? So many therapists I know are heading for burn out, because they leave themselves until last, they forget about their own needs before rushing ahead with the day. Do not leave home in the morning until you have made sure that you are grounded and protected (our “Protector” spray mist can do this in a second for you). If you are an active dreamer, you may forget that your chakras could be wide open due to your night dreaming and visioning. Do you really want to walk outside wide open like that? Think before you leave your house, and think about yourself often during the day.
Case Study #2
My client is a busy practitioner working in three different clinics, in different parts of town. In her case (as with a lot of therapist clients), I did personalised blends for her. She would order three of “The Cleanser” spray mists, and I would intuit the strength of formula that was needed for each clinic (it would vary greatly), I also intuited which essential oils needed to go in, again it was different for each clinic. She used them to space clear the work space and she used them to cleanse her aura in between clients. Over the years, the strength of the formula would change as her clients, and the type of work she was doing with them, would change.
Don’t forget that your PEG affects every being you come into contact with, so make sure it’s clean and sparkly and let that beautiful grid of yours light up our world!
