When The Ego Shakes the Pain Body AwakeThis post might have a bit to do with ego...maybe just a bit. *giggle* We are all susceptible to the ego and it's uncanny ability to draw attention to the pain body. Just as I am no stranger to it...neither are you. We are all works in progress. There is no weakness to be found in acknowledging our imperfections because they are what make us unique and beautiful. These characteristics of the ego self are actually strengths hidden under our anger, anxiety, hurt, despair...all cloaked in fear. Unravel the fear! Release! Some might not want to openly discuss the draw of the ego, this dance that we all do. I've been told that it will affect my business and will discourage potential clients from visiting. Sorry. I would rather be honest and share a "secret" with the world. Honesty and transparency are imperative, especially if it can help someone else to find their own light. Any person that you go to see for energy work encounters their own set of trails and tribulations - that is called life. Life is ripe with challenge and lessons to learn. No one is the exception. Especially your practitioner. Someone who chooses to work with energy, from Yogini to Reiki Master to Osteopath and so on, they will encounter the shadows, the ego, the pain...and they learn to dance with it. They have chosen to learn this dance, for in learning they are better able to help those that come to them. Put it this way, you can't genuinely help someone to understand what an apple tastes like if you have not tasted the apple yourself. Perhaps not the best analogy...but you get my point. Plainly said, the healer should deal with their "stuff" and live by the "heal thy self" rule. In healing we learn to heal. Learning to live in harmony with our ego is not for the faint of heart. We all have our shadow work to do. It's all a part of that sacred dance while we are here. It's how we evolve and also how we raise our vibration. As a lesson presents itself, its good practice to sit with that energy and to learn from it. Get to the root. As the situation presents itself, feel where it goes in your body. Which energy center? Meditate on this for a bit. What feelings come to the surface? Any memories? Was there another time in your life where you may have experienced something similar? Sit with that energy. Embrace it and reflect on that feeling. Release, clean and clear that energy. Then go and do something that makes you feel really good that raises your vibration. Nurture yourself. Show yourself some love. Life is full of synchronicities and yesterday I had a "chance" encounter. I crossed paths with someone that I had not seen in well over a decade. Seemingly innocent enough, we had the usual casual banter that one would expect. Then the subject turned to energy work. This person is the child of a very gifted healer and artist friend of mine. There were a few things that were said that stayed with me for a short time afterwards...heavy in energy, all snuggly, sitting with the darker half of my ego, if I am being completely honest. A few offhanded comments and although I was oozing with love and composed...oh, eventually something started to bubble up. Lucky for me, the bubbles began as I sat and watched him/her walk away. That was when the pain body reared its head. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't a bit saddened by a few of his/her comments. It shouldn't matter what anyone says, as it is merely a reflection of their level of awareness. However, I allowed what was said to hurt and then evoke unresolved anger. This is a beautiful thing though. It is a gift. It is an opportunity to heal the hurt and the anger of the pain body, because truly it isn't what they said that caused the hurt. Dig deep enough and you will know. Ego has the ability to shake the pain body awake. It's what you do with it that counts. As I worked through the feelings of anger that a few simple comments evoked, I acknowledged that this is simply the unravelling of my ego self. Their non-belief and dismissiveness is merely a reflection of my own dismissiveness and non-belief. It is brought up for my self-reflection. The biggest fight is the fight that you have with yourself. His/her judgement is also my judgement and so on. This gift is a mirror that we all must look into if we want to heal that part of ourselves. Do you choose to look into the mirror? Love and light to all of you on your journey. xoxo Join me on my community Facebook page: Healing Energy - Painted Chakras and Stairways
