The more I work with personal energies I notices the stronger they get. Obviously, thats kind of the point but at the same time it is satisfying and surprising when it happens. But I have to remember not to freak anyone out. I've slipped a couple of times. Recently I startled our youth center's new Vista worker. When she first moved in we spent the day unpacking her things and of course we were talking and I told her how she was feeling a couple of times and finished a couple of sentences for her and I didn't realize I was doing it until I looked up and she had the expression of "OMG, how did you KNOW THAT?!" written all over her face. I don't know her well enough to talk about my spiritual practices yet and so I quickly shifted gears to something more appropriate to talk about like how to survive a Maine winter.
I've learned a lot over this past year. I've learned to shield myself and ground myself. I've learned to increase my reach with my energy and I've learned how to use the energy information I gather about people in a good way. I help the kids I mentor much more efficiently because of the energy that I read. I know if they are having a bad day even if they hide it well on the outside. I know when they are lying (and those kids know how to tell a convincing lie!), I know when they had a personal success, and I know when they want to reach out for help but don't feel they can. If I can use this gift to help people, then I feel I should embrace it and work with it.
I'm still having a problem with the natural energies around me though. I still pick up what the Earth spits out constantly. During the rush of spring I felt my body was becoming overloaded with energy, just as I felt drained during the winter because the plants were sleeping or dead. Its very seasonal but I don't know how to get control over this natural cycle that I am so susceptible to. Not that I want to control the cycle of course but more importantly I want to control how this cycle affects ME.
The meditation that I do to help keep me in control is very simple. I am a tree. I plunge my roots down deep into the soil and collect all my energy in my trunk. Then I shoot the energy down into the Earth with my roots and let the soil naturally filter any energy that is negative or not mine since I tend to pick up little bits of other people's energy, especially the bad bits. When the energy is clean I bring it back into myself and let it spread throughout my body and envision leaves budding and growing and ready to help shield me from the day. I send out positive energy at night before I go to sleep almost like a nighttime prayer to help keep my loved ones safe and happy.
And to top all of this off, I have a fun meditation incense blend for anyone to try.
3 drops peppermint essential oil or 1 part dried peppermint leaves (develop psychic powers)
2 Part copal (resin - protection)
1 part myrrh (resin - protection and meditation)
3 drops rose essential oil or 1 part dried rose petals (psychic ability)
1/2 part fresh crushed cinnamon stick (psychic powers)
Grind herbs and resin and oils together to create the incense blend. Smolder over incense coals while meditating to help enhance the meditation experience and keep you open to new messages and lessons.
And if anyone else has good tips and tricks to dealing with energy work and interesting energy lessons, please post them here.
