Understanding Energy

Energy can be interpreted and distinguished through the various clairs activated within each of us. When I first started my spiritual journey 2 1/2 years ago, I didn't truly understand how to read energy, nor did I understand how my body was reacting to the energies coming into my space. All I knew was that I was experiencing varying levels of anxiety and panic attacks for the first time. What I didn't understand was that my clairsentience was coming online and getting stronger as I was beginning my process of ascension (something we are all going through as the Earth is raising in vibration).

Being an academic person pursuing my doctoral degree at the time, I looked online for peer-reviewed, scholarly books, journals and papers to try and understand what was happening to me. I went to book stores to search for books to help me understand what I was going through. We have all been taught to seek knowledge outside of ourselves; to not trust ourselves...when everything I needed to know was within me all along. I just didn't know what to do or how to access it.

It wasn't until I had my first mediumship reading did I learn that all the knowledge I was searching for was within me. All I had to do was learn how to access it.

I went to my first metaphysical fair a month later and experienced energy grounding me and my feet chakras activating after picking up an obsidian palm stone. I have to be honest, it kind of freaked me out, because I had no idea that there were more than 7 chakras in the body.

Within the next couple of months, I got attuned to Reiki 1 & 2 and had my soul language activated and all of a sudden, I was experiencing energy on a whole new level and it was overwhelming. I signed up for a spiritual awakening and light language activator course and my mentors helped me to better understand when I was experiencing energy blockages, ascension symptoms, the difference between spiritual guides, spirits who have crossed over and spirits who needed help crossing over.

I also learned to distinguish and discern if an energy coming into my space was there for my highest good or to latch on and syphon my energy (those were some tough lessons to learn). It's important to understand that we have sovereignty over our energy and we have the power to push energy out of our space. Boundaries need to be installed and maintained. Just like when the people in our life over step their boundaries, energetic beings also need boundaries whether it be our guides, loved ones or random spirits coming and going through your space.

How I learned to distinguish what the different energies were for me, I got a piece of paper with an outline of a person and drew a line right down the middle distinguishing feminine and masculine (left and right) energies. I would ask my guides to show me what it feels like when my guides showed up, what a grandparent energy felt like, what a parental energy felt like, etc. Thus, I created a guide sheet for myself so that when I started feeling an energy, I would ask if it's there for my highest good 3 times and if the majority answer was no, I would tell it to leave. If the answer was yes, I would then ask why it was coming into my energy.

Creating this guide sheet helped to empower and grow my confidence.
