Why Energy Shielding Can Be Helpful For Sensitive People

Energy shielding is a metaphysical technique used to support highly sensitive people who can easily absorb the energies around them unknowingly or can have trouble distinguishing between their own thoughts and feelings and people around them.

Now, don’t misunderstand, in spiritual truth we are all one extension of Love that expresses itself in a myriad of different ways.  We are the same essence of Light & Love that emanates from One source.  Whether you call that source, “Love,” “God,” “The Universe” it is all the same source of Love.  While we are here in Three dimensional form  experiencing life in the body, we get to experience free will and what its  like to be the creators of our reality.

We are made up of vibrational energy, and based on the beliefs we hold in our mind, and the experiences we create.  While the mind still holds beliefs in separation, we can believe we are not always a  vibrational match to the choices that “seem” to come from other bodies around us.  We are one with everything, which means we match everything in our experience unconsciously.   Energy shielding can help us remain balanced and entered in Love rather than in reaction mode to what might seem to be coming from outside of you. Ultimately, there are no separate bodies.  There is only One genuine reflection at all times,  If something happens and we have a reaction, this is always a sign to be willing to look within and pose the questions “where am I refusing to Love?  Where am I unknowingly refusing to let Love in? 

You might be thinking, “What? how can I have called forth the person who cut me off in traffic, or the negative person at the store?” 

Rest assured, I’m not saying we consciously do this.  What I am saying is that the energetic frequency of that experience of being cut off in traffic, has to be present somewhere in our experience – it could be in another area of life altogether.  But, we can’t call forth experiences without matching that frequency somewhere first.   It is always a call to look within.  A gentle nudge letting us know, there’s something out of alignment here.  It is nothing that should ever bring on guilt, or shame.  Simply a message that balance has shifted.

IMG_1823Energy shielding is a powerful tool to add to our Spiritual tool belt.  (provided there is willingness to accept the ideas in our mind.)  Especially, because energy shielding can help to zero in on our current vibrational frequency and that of others experiencing form.  Energy shielding is a lot like wearing a pair of sunglasses or a winter coat.  It is a tool we can use to strengthen our decision  to align with happiness and joy.

Energy Shielding is spiritually neutral, just the way Spirit is.  Shielding is not good or bad.  When you use a shielding technique, you are not implying that other energies are bad,  You are simply making a decision to keep your energy vibrating as high, pure and clean as possible.  Just as taking a shower or a bath has benefits, so to does energy shielding.   These techniques assist sensitive people to stay living in Love without taking responsibly for the free will choices of others.

Archangel Michael is known as a strong shielding energy.  Michael shields anyone and everyone who requests being supported in this way.  You can say something as simple as:

“Archangel Michael I invite you to surround me with your vibrant strong and protective energy now.  I know that I am safe no matter what appears to be gong on.”

I begin by  holding the intention either as a thought, a feeling or a vision in my mind.  I see myself immersed  in soft loving pink light all around me.  I ask that the allowed to penetrate my entire being.  I follow the pink light with Golden light which is very peaceful and gentle.   Finally, I follow with royal purple light as somewhat of a loving energetic sealer.  The process doesn’t have to take very long, but it is very helpful in setting the intention for self-care.

Crystals are also energetic shields   Crystals are metaphysical energies that strengthen our aura’s and energetic fields.  Black Tourmaline and almost any other black crystal shields from harsh negative energy.  Rose Quartz is the stone connected to Love & Romance and its energy transmutes lower vibrating fearful energy into higher vibrating Loving energy.    Burning sage is another powerful way to release and transmute negative energy as well as lighting candles with the intention of letting go of what doesn’t serve.  These shifts are amazing when we allow them.  Feel free to share your experiences in the comments below!

Never Underestimate Your Unique Impact

deedredavid

A Few weeks ago I had some beautiful friends, Julia & Kianna come to visit me.  In that time loving forces brought us the gift of a unique experience  that began with a trp to the post office.  My friend offered to drop off a package for me which was a great help since at this moment I’m currently not driving a car.  I googled tha address to the postal outlet and wrote the address on a slip of paper.  Off my friend went, saying she would be back after she made an extra stop at the grocery store to pick up some food.  While she was away, her daughter and I began preparation for dinner.

 More and more time passed  until my friend had been gone well over an hour and a half.  My intuition told be she had taken a detour and lost her way.  I sent her a text message and she confirmed my intuition was on target.  A few seconds later my phone rings. I hear a man’s voice introducing himself, and my friends laughter like music to the background of our introduction

“Hi Deedre, my name is David Boulder I’m here with your friend who has taken a wrong turn and she’s been telling me what n amazing person you are.”

David continued to tell me he worked at Strathcona lodge,  He explained that my friend had told him a little about the physical disability and he was instantly passionate about my friends & I joining him on a forest tour to see a waterfall.  What David doesn’t know, is that I have been spending time in nature all summer as a result of loving guidance from my angels.  So, when I was introduced to David, and the opportunity to see the waterfall presented itself, I knew this was a journey the angels had creates for all of us .  I embraced the opportunity with open arms not knowing what would come of it but knowing that my intuition was leading the way.

Julia

The following afternoon my friends and I began our journey into the forest.  The drive out to the lodge was interesting.  Road signs were not clearly marked, since the trip was a bit of a distance from my home, and because this adventure started with misunderstood directions, I asked the angels to help guide us to our destination.  When we met up with David he warmly introduced himself with a smile.  He asked if I was prepared for what was to come, and I said “absolutely!”

He smiled as if acknowledging I was unaware what I had agreed to – and he was right, I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I had already decided to trust in the experience as much as I possibly could.

I’ve always shared with anyone who shared an interest to know that the physical trappings of living with Cerebral Palsy looks far worse n terms of outward appearance than it actually feels to live with it.  This has always been my truth.

In my heart I have never felt like the projection of my body is the real me.

 This makes sense, because in spiritual truth no one is defined by the body  At times I have really struggled with how I have felt the eyes of the world see me especially because the way things look with me is not the real me.  Many moments in my life I was seeking acceptance from the outside world never feeling as though I belonged.  I bring this up because it relates to our journey into the forest.  In addition to physical challenges appearing very difficult for me to someone on the outside looking in.  I move differently expend more energy, and it takes me more time to accomplish physical tasks than the average person.

Kianna

On the day during our walk through the forest, I was using my walker to navigate my way.  David and my friends were extremely compassionate, helping me over difficult parts of the trails with large roots, tree stumps, steep train and other obstacles.  This involved a great deal of patience and a willingness on their part to go as slowly as I needed, and take as many rest breaks as I required.

 This sounds like an easy task, but our world has conditioned us to be “fast”, to get things done, to want things instantly.  The physical experience of my body has been one of patience.

I do have to take my time, but as I have said, have always felt it looks worse than it is.  I’m not in pain, and I can take breaks or sometimes do things a bit differently,

My friends and I took the time to talk about the beauty of nature   David taught us about the history of the area, tips on how to survive  if lost in the wilderness.  We even started a fire using some pitch.  After about 2 hours we reached the waterfall.  The beauty of it was stunning to me.  I sat on a nearby bench, closed my eyes, and absorbed the peaceful sound of the water crashing down its slop.  I silently thanked the angels for guiding me here,  I heard the smile in David’s voice, as he advised me to take my time and enjoy what he called  my version of Mount Everest. I felt deeply connected to spirit, and profoundly grateful.


Later that weekend, my friend Julia shared with me that our journey through the woods was a kind of awakening for her.  She shared that the experience taught her that human beings with our perceived frailties take things for granted, and that the experience of witnessing me during our walk taught her the importance of letting people be who they are in every sense of the word.  Allowing people to go at their own pace I’n every facet of life whether it be personal or professional, assisting them only in those times when support is accepted unconditionally.  Julia said the experience was profound for her, with subtle lessons she would apply to her business.  As we went on this walk, I had not been thinking at all about my influence – I was simply focused in the moment enjoying the journey.  

I think many of us simply move through our lives without realizing the wonderful impact we can all have on other souls, and the planet just by existing,  We are all unique creatures with gifts to offer each other, yet the ego will  be so quick to have us undervalue those gifts.  I think we all need constant reminders to never underestimate our impact, Each of us are blessings to each other.

You Are Not Your Body

A few weeks ago I had a moment where I felt as though I was being judged.  An exchange occurred, and a comment was made in passing in reference to something physical about me.  The actual comment are not relevant, but I felt called to blog about this because so many of us can  feel judged by others, judged by something outside of ourselves, even judged by God.

Judgement is always an illusion of fear, to keep us stuck, to hold us back, to keep us playing small.

The experience prompted me to do some soul-searching and investigate why I felt judged.  First.I allowed myself to react to my feelings, and my perception of the “judgement” Then I went to the text of “A Course In Miracles. next, the teachings of Abraham Hicks, and I  asked the angels for guidece,  What I received  was a knowing that in truth there is no judgement.  Judgement is not real.  This was hard for me to accept at first, because for me, when I felt as though my physical body was being judged that felt very vividly painful/  I felt as though the comment was cutting straight to the core of every flaw I’d ever felt about my body.  It brought up feelings that I wasn’t good enough, that these apparent flaws implied there was something wrong with me.  I felt instantly unattractive, my spirit sunk as I began to wonder if people really saw me as something that needed to be fixed as  I felt these comment suggested.

Was I really something that just needed to be fixed?

Make no mistake, the person involved had no malicious intent, in fact, I’m sure they felt their comment was harmless. People are often completely unaware of the power their words can have when they speak.   In the moment though,  this comment brought up every feeling I’ve ever had about my body, being viewed by other people as different, unattractive, and unlovable.  It wasn’t even the words spoken, it was the implication that because something looked “abnormal” there was something wrong with me that needed improvement.  I didn’t like been seen like this, because it didn’t feel accurate at all

The angels let me know that when we feel judged by others, this is a sign that something doesn’t match up with our true selves, our spiritual essence, our truth.    This is why we feel pain, because our true self our higher self only  celebrates what is loving and wonderful about us.  There are no real “flaws” nothing that needs to be “fixed.”  When we feel judged by others, we know something s off.  we are also judging ourselves.  It’s a sign we are placing too much weight on the opinions of other people and not giving ourselves enough self-love.

This took the focus completely away from the comments that initially pushed forward my feelings,  It brought the focus away from anything external including the other personality.    It  brought things right back to center –  back within.  The only person who has power over my feelings is me.  I can choose to let one person’s perception of my physical body bother me, or I can choose the truth I know.

 I have chosen come into a body that deals with some challenges to learn important lessons spiritually;   I know it looks a heck of a lot worse to an outside bystander than it actually feels for me..  I am so much more than my body, and deep down I love the person that I am,  I try on a daily basis not to focus on my illusion of “flaws.”  It isn’t always easy, that is the journey.  I try to focus on being the best person I can be.  I make the choice to be of service to others and to the world.

I consider it a personal mission to help people feel connected to the loving essence present in everything.  Once we are aware of this love and it’s power, we become acquainted with how wonderful we really are.  Potential becomes  limitless, and miracles occur everywhere.  This is why working with angels is my calling.

Not long after this experience where I felt judged, I was at the health food store getting groceries I met a lady there who kindly helped me pack my buggy,  She asked me during the course of our conversation, what physical condition I was dealing with.  When I told her Cerebral Palsy, she was visibly shocked, and went on to explain that fro her perspective a person could not tell it was so mild which is why she asked.

I knew this was the angels way of showing me an example of how the same thing cam be perceived differently.  One experience was completely out of alignment with the truth of who I am, which is why I felt the pain of illusion judgement.

Lesson 31 in A Course In Miracles says:

I am not the victim of the world I see.”

We are certainly not, since we create our own reality.  These two closely linked incidents were powerful teachers that I wanted to share.  May they shed light for all of you who read this.

A Shift In Perception About “Judgement.”

Mother Teresa was once quoted as saying “If you judge people, you have no room to love them.’  This is a beautiful statement rooted in spiritual truth.  My experiences in my own life, and in sharing of the experiences of others have shed light on some insight linked to Mother Teresa’s words.  People get quite hung up on the idea of judgement.  The ego is crafty.  Most of us recognize when we have made a perceived judgement of ourselves or someone else.  Where we become trapped; is on the fact that we make judgements in the first place.  The ego loves to use our judgements as a means to induce guilt and pain.

A Course In Miracles teaches that it is human nature to make  judgements,and that we needn’t concern  ourselves in our experiences with “stopping” or punishing our judgements.  The course goes on to state that indeed we will continue to judge, we simply have none that we will keep.

“The necessary condition for the holy instant does not require that you have no thoughts that are not pure. But it does require that you have none that you would keep.”

– A Course In Miracles

A miracle, then, from A Course In Miracles perspective is a shift in perception from fear to love.  Rather than beat ourselves up for the egos judgements, we can always choose love and acceptance over fear.  This is the beauty in Mother Teresa’s statement.  When the gentle miracle occurs, and we allow love to enter shifting our perception, fear no longer is the dominant voice.  Love enters.  The Miracle manifests, and illusion, fear and judgement are exchanged for contentment.

A few days ago, I was in a situation where I received a text message from someone I had never met before.  The body of the message was aggressively phrased.  My ego immediately went to work judging the message, and the person who had sent it.  I observed myself having the desire to change the way this individual was speaking, to “correct” them and “show” them the “right way to respond in the situation at hand.  Instead of judging my ego’s reaction, and making myself feel worse about my initial response, I was able to recognize within this exchange that my ego was simply reacting first.  I could choose love instead.  I asked for guidance from my angels, and the answer I received was that I didn’t need to change anything to view the situation as it happened, with a loving mindset.  In other words, let the exchange be what it was.  Accept it without trying to change or influence it.

Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world.”

– A Course In Miracles

In allowing our encounter to be, and accepting our viewpoints in their unique forms of expression, I was being encouraged to shift my perception from “right” versus “wrong” to simply two equally valid viewpoints as viewed from two uniquely vivid energies.

The angels also lovingly encouraged me to release my irritation with the other person.  They lovingly assured me that letting go of my anger didn’t suggest that my feelings about the situation weren’t justified.

“Releasing anger doesn’t equate to condoning behavior that isn’t warranted, it simply means being willing to let go of that which is hurting you (your anger), in exchange for what will bring you happiness and peace.”

To Receive, First You Must Ask

giftIn the last year, I’ve made the commitment to myself, to eat organically grown food, to avoid chemicals as much as possible, to eliminate processed sugar, caffeine, and finally to transition to a vegan diet (currently in process). I want to preface the former statement by saying, all of these things I have felt guided to do.

I am by no means suggesting that this is the “How to eat a good diet” type of story. We’re all different, with unique metabolisms, no two people are going to eat the same way.  Always follow your personal guidance

I know without question,  that I have been divinely guided every step of the way to make dietary and lifestyle changes. I have become extremely sensitive, which also includes making the transition to non-chemical natural-based household cleaners. One of my favorite product lines for Natural cleaners is Seventh Generation. (More on that in another blog!)

This brings me to a story I felt guided to share. Yesterday, I went out shopping to my local natural health-food store. I have become a frequent shopper to this store, and I was given a gift certificate as a birthday gift from some friends. It had taken me a considerable amount of time to redeem the gifted amount, and in that time, amongst the shuffle of papers, I had misplaced my copy of the redeem slip for the certificate. I should mention, here, that for the last several months, my angels have been guiding me to work on my giving to receiving ratio, lovingly telling me that my capacity to allow myself to receive is far out of balance with my comfort level in giving to others. The angels also tell me, I am not alone.

Many of us struggle with this, which is the very thing that inspired me to write this blog. For many years, I have been acutely sensitive, to “bothering” people, worrying about “inconveniencing” them, “putting people out” or not allowing anything or anyone to “fuss” over me.

Another classic example of my inability to allow myself to receive was with complements. Even until very recently, (I’d say the last 2 months), if someone gave me a compliment, I would find a way to either deflect what was said, and shift the conversation back to the other person, or flat-out deny the compliment literally, and declare myself unworthy of it. In either case, I was refusing to receive or accept the love given from others. Isn’t that sneaky? In the past I didn’t even realize, I was denying myself. But, I sure have noticed, now that I am making a conscious effort to shift, allow and receive compliments by taking them in, and saying thank you!

Are you unknowingly denying yourself opportunities to receive?

As I waited at the till in the health food store for my grocery total, my intuition spoke so loud it was deafening. “Ask about your gift certificate!” I did just that. I had no attachment to whatever would happen, I simply trusted I was being guided. I explained how I’d misplaced the slip, but wondered if the store might have a record of a purchased gift certificate?

The clerk was happy to check for me, and after a few moments of searching, was able to produce the receipt with my name on it!  The store happy to honour my voucher.

The clerk herself unknowingly confirmed the intuitive voice of my angels and guides. She gave me validation, I had heard, and followed though as I was guided. “You don’t ask, you don’t get!” She smiled.

If I had spent time playing small and worrying about asking, as I have done so many times before, I would have missed out on a lovely opportunity to receive, thank you, Angels. xo

My Journey To Angels

As a child, I knew I was intuitive, but I chose to turn away from it.  I wanted to fit in, and I was desperate for approval.  I wanted to be liked and  to belong.  I always had a deep sense of spirituality.  Without question, I have always believed in God, source, energy love and angels, but I found that talking about any of these subjects at any depth was intimidating for people and I felt I was labeled as “odd.”  I already had enough that made me different (or so I perceived), I chose the path of fear.  It’s Ironic really, I wanted to experience love so much that I was willing to go anywhere outside myself to get it.  The funny thing is – love must exist within first.  Nothing “out there” ie: other people, status, recognition. promotion, relationships or other things outside can “fill up” what we feel may be lacking in our lives.

 Angels This brings me to my connection with angels.  I’ve already mentioned that I chose to turn away from my intuitive abilities.  After several years of looking outside myself in virtually every area of my life – I was deeply lost, depressed and disconnected from spirit.  I had reached an all time low in terms of how I felt about myself.  My higher self knew that my destiny was to be of service to comfort and uplift, teach , speak, and consult but I was so desolate I couldn’t con-sieve of how I would find my calling.  All I knew at the time was that I was determined to heal the parts of mt life that had brought me to such a breaking point.  I had been “diagnosed” with a form of anxiety disorder,  and at the time felt that everything I knew to be true in my life was crumbling around me.  I knew in that moment that this current reality I was living was not my truth. I remember sitting on my couch filled with so much emotional pain that my body ached.   I didn’t know it then, but my extreme sensitivity to energies had caused my to carry other people’s pain and suffering as well as my own.  With tears blurring my vision I began to ask heaven for help.  My intuition was screaming at me that there had to be a better way than this.  My higher self was right – there was.  Today, every value I once held has shifted.  I now know the value that coping with extreme anxiety has taught me, and that I can shift my own perception of anything with the help of the angels, spirit, and the inner voice of love we all share. Spirit intervened for me and I was guided to take to the internet.  I was guided literally to Gabrielle Bernstein’s website and she has become one of my greatest spiritual teachers and mentors.   Just a side note about being guided – I had absolutely no idea where the guidance was taking me.  I just knew it felt 100% right for me.  That’s the way guidance works for all of us.  We all have an inner voice that speaks truth, and we have an intuitive knowing when we follow the path that is meant for us.  When I was lead to Gabby’s work, I knew I was home.  I began a daily meditation practice even though I had never really meditated before.I changed my diet, began taking yoga  I knew the key to my health and happiness was change.  With meditation. and exposure to the uplifting spiritual teachings of Gabrielle Bernstein, Abraham Hicks, Marianne Williamson and Louis Hay I have been set on a life long process of creating  genuine inner peace and happiness in my life. After two months of learning to listen to the voice of my guidance, studying the incredible work of Gabrielle Bernstein and A Course In Miracles; and continuing with my meditation process, one day I was listening to Gabrielle’s weekly radio show Spirit Junkie on Hay House Radio featuring an angel communicator. I instantly resonated with the gentleman being interviewed on the show, and my intuition was once again loudly speaking to me to continue investigating the connection I have felt with angels since childhood.  Anytime I was investigating anything involving angels and spiritual teaching,  I felt alive and incredibly calm and peaceful.  The more I learned, the more I felt that my life purpose.  I booked a session for myself with that same angel communicator from the radio show. During the session, I received confirmation of my natural intuitive ability, my connection to angels and that my life purpose involved spiritual counseling and using my gifts to support, uplift. motivate and serve others.  I was vigilant in my meditation practice and spiritual learning.  I asked the angels to continue guiding me along my path.

I asked for miracles, and the more I asked, the more they materialized.  With the help of the angels I was blessed to receive certified Holistic Angel Coach™ training with Monick Halm & Nina Jasmine from Life Alchemy School.  My life as a result of this training and other influences Spirit and the angels have infused as blessings have completely transformed me from the inside out.  I am now using my intuitive gifts and natural talents as a leader speaker and teacher, and equally a student to help others progress in their lives.  This is my life purpose, my calling, and a genuine blessing I will always be thankful for.
