Smudging And Clearing Regularly

Whether you are having difficulty with your empathic abilities or not, it is a good
idea to smudge yourself regularly to release other people's energy and influence
from your energy body. Other good clearing methods are showering, bathing and
spending time in solitude. Can you feel what others around you are feeling? Are you
sensitive to your surroundings? When you lay your hands on someone, do your
hands know right where to go to help that person? Perhaps you are an empath.
Psychic Vampires
When an attack takes place, the Psychic Vampire receives an energy surge while the
victim experiences fatigue.

People who "suck" the energy of others are called "psychic vampires." This
"sucking" takes place when one's energy is depleted and needs to be replenished so
he or she "sucks" the energy of another person. It is not unusual for a person who is
ill or feeling inadequate emotionally to draw upon or deplete energized individuals
of their life force. These "suckers" are not bad people, most of them are not aware
on a conscious level that they are doing what they are doing. Still, their unknowing
actions can play havoc with anyone who leaves an energetic opening for this type of
thievery. It is important for us to be aware that we may be susceptible to having our
energies stolen from us and learn ways to protect ourselves.

Cutting Cords to Toxic Relationships
Bridge Exercise / Infinity Exercise
Among healers the sharing of energy is referred to as cording. This cord represents
life support tubing energetically connecting two individuals together. Babies are
born with a cord attaching them to their mothers, this is natural. But there comes a
time for a mother to Cut the Apron Strings allowing her child to go out into the world
on its own. This is appropriate. If the mother fails to break the cord, the child will
eventually attempt to do it. This too is appropriate.

The world is full of unhealthy relationships. In these relationships, individuals cling

to one another allowing cord attachments to occur between them.
Seldom is the sharing done equally. Actually if the energy sharing was done equally
it would be silly to have the cord in place at all. It is possible to be in a relationship
without cording one another, in fact it is preferable. Couples that share one life
source ordinarily create a relationship in which one individual becomes weaker, the
other stronger. The weakened person feels collapsed because of giving away his/her
life source. The stronger person feels great for a time, but his/her appetite may very
well increase, craving more and more of the shared energy.

There are different types of situations we face in life that are difficult. Ending
relationships ranks pretty high up in the "tough stuff" category. It doesn't matter if
you were the person who walked away or if someone else left you, a loss is felt
either way. It is especially painful if a relationship ends without closure.
Unfortunately, often times when people "breakup" what they don't realize is that
they may very well still have cords attached. The intact cord keeps an open channel
for continuous feeding on each others emotions and anxieties.

Experiencing pain from an estranged relationship or troubled marriage? Try either

the bridge visualization or infinity exercise to gently release the cord attachment to
free yourself of continued feelings of sadness or separation.

The Empath
The Fourth Chakra-Dominant Individual
This is an excerpt from an upcoming book by Dr. Jelusich, to be released this
summer by Lotus Press Publishing.
In my understanding, having been an energetic healer and counselor for over 10
years, I have found that 95% of all communication is not verbal, nor physical. It is
energy on many levels. Certainly, you have walked into a room before and
encountered someone you do not know, yet youve had a feeling about that person,
good or otherwise. And whether you are sitting in a movie theater, a restaurant, or
standing in an elevator, you emanate a quality of energy in all directions at all times
that is the energetic unique signature of your being.
That same energy is the signature of you as an individuated spirit, a
multidimensional being who is unique in the universe. It is that same 95% that
creates the meetings with others, that creates the relationships in which you
engage, that creates the possibility for you to learn a lifes lesson..
And at first, this presents us with an interesting puzzle of life. We live in a oneness
with no separation, yet we are unique beings. We use words like I think, and I
see, and I believe, and yet there is no separation between us as we exist in this
oneness of being. It is quite an enigma, for it is that very same oneness that allows
an intuitive healer to tap into you, whether you are there in the same room or
speaking on the telephone, separated by a great distance.
In metaphysics, there is no space and no time. They are not limiting factors in the
information, wisdom and healing that is available on all levels of our being. So often
this is difficult to embrace, because most of us in western society tend to only
regard the physical being as viable, with little consideration for those parts of us
that are non-physical, but every bit as viable to our existence.
It is necessary to embrace that part of our nature that is not physically borne, not
because it is on some other level, but because our metaphysical nature coexists
seamlessly with our physical nature in a continual exchange of life energy. It is that
very same oneness where reality exists, where the boundaries between the physical
and the non-physical evaporate in the light of greater understanding of our true
nature.
We are, as human beings, composed of four archetypal energies: mental, physical,
emotional, and spiritual. Look at most tarot decks, and youll see the four minor
arcana suits are divided into these same distinctions of human character. It is the
congruence of these energies, flowing along together through time, that allows our
lives to be productive and meaningful. If one or more are out of balance, suffering
ensues as our illusions in life are challenged by the realities we encounter.
So as we go along through life, composed of these four components of being
human, the energies exchange and intertwine with each other and among several
dimensions in a dance of experiential existence. And through our experiences we
garner the wisdom to push through our illusions, thus reducing suffering and
hardship in our lives.
Your metaphysical nature is set, to a certain degree, in each lifetime by specific
parameters of karma, mission statement, skill sets, and chakra disposition. That is,
most of us are governed by one or more chakras that influence the psychology of
our being through their respective attributes. Ones life and challenges become a
stage, where the predominant chakric disposition orchestrates the lifes lessons in a
way that the participant must experience. Knowing your disposition, chakric
strength and weaknesses helps you to gain understanding of why you may tend to
live your life the way you do, and why certain repetitive patterns occur. It is in the
understanding of our metaphysical nature through our given disposition that allows
true self-empowerment to take place.
As you grow in consciousness, you begin to understand how and why situations are
created for your learning, and how best to optimize your lifes path. Your weakness
becomes your strength, and your strength your weakness. And by remembering
within you are all answers, you self-empower through that same chakra by making
conscious decisions, aware of your orientation towards this life time.
With the evolution of consciousness in our world of today, there is a growing portion
of the population of people who are experiencing not only their own growing pains,
but the growth of others as well. In this instance, consider the person who has
incarnated with a heart chakra disposition. In my opinion, an individual must have
had several lifetimes of right action and behavior, or dharma, before that person
could qualify. It is through the accrual of merit, an individual accomplishment of
character, that one carries with them from incarnation to incarnation. Thus the
person who incarnates in their heart carries an inherent experiential goodness,
different from an inherent spiritual goodness that we all have.
It also means that the individual comes through in this lifetime, through that
goodness, as psychically sensitive, through that 95% of all communication that is
not physical, to all others around them. So not only is the heart-chakra individual
faced with the living of their own life, they are sensitive to the energies of others
around them, to the extent they become living sponges, soaking up emotional
energies of other individuals. In my experience, one in fourteen people are
empaths. This taking on can create a negative compressive emotional energy in
the emotional energy field of the individual.
This can often create a problem, because most empaths do not know that they are
in fact empaths. Most empaths, not knowing that they are taking on this energy in a
non-physical way, are unaware of the origin of their suffering, and the negative
compressive emotional energy can have deleterious effects on the individual,
because that person also would not know how to clear the energy, or dispose of it.
Many heart-chakra beings suffer continually, taking on the negative energies of
humanity, through having had many good past lives. They often do not see their
own goodness, but rather may sometimes take on suffering as a validation of their
lives. This is done through love, not as a purposeful self-destruction, but because of
the intense self-realized goodness that the empath has lived in their past
reincarnations.
Many physiological and psychological issues can develop from a heart-chakra
disposition, and with the heart chakra, issues can become systemic to the body,
mind and emotions.
Physical issues include problems with the heart itself, respiration, ribs, thymus, skin,
joints, fibromyalgea, blood flow and blood quality, weight retention, and other
issues systemic to the body.
Psychological issues include a loss of personal identity, depression, loss of the
ability to think clearly, personal sabotage, and constant struggle to stay emotionally
stable.
Imagine your emotional energy field as a cup that holds water. If the cup is full, then
any water (emotion) added to the cup causes it to overflow. This is the energetic
equivalent of what happens to a heart chakra individual, who has taken on so much
energy from the people around them that any added emotion is always too much,
and causes suffering in some way.
Here are some exercises that the empath can do to help relieve the emotional body
of negativity.
Exercise #1. Whether you shower or bathe, imagine the water as magnetic.
Knowing what a magnet does, imagine the magnetized water pulling out of you, as
appropriate, any negative emotion, thought or feeling. You dont even have to know
what the negativity is, just think Release, release, release, to yourself as the
negativity goes out into the water, the water goes down the drain, and you are
clear. The Earth transmutes the negative energy into neutral energy. If you cannot
get to a shower or bath, hold your hands under running water and think Release,
release, release. If you cannot get to water at all, just imagine it running over the
back of your hand. The power of your will helps to clear you.
You can do this exercise as often as you want every day. It will help to keep your
emotional energy field clear. Water is a great conductor of emotional energy, and
most empaths always live near water or love being in water.
Exercise #2. No-Stick Teflon When in a situation as a party or gathering of people,
an empath can often feel claustrophobic, as the press of many emotional energies
can be very chaotic in mixed gatherings. Knowing what Teflon does for cookware,
imagine No-Stick Teflon in your energy field. Your field will not filter any goodness
that comes through, but will tend to fend off any negative emotional energies,
hooks or tubes from others. You may still take on certain things, as you must, if it is
within your paths learning.
Remember, people will come into relationship with an empath to work out mutual
lifes goals; the energies already being set up across space and time through that
95% that is not physical.
Most empaths find their lives as a hub of a many-spoked wheel. They usually will
find themselves in the center of a soul-group to help anchor the groups karma and
emotional workings. Therefore, it is imperative that they keep their fields clear with
regular exercise, meditation, and with a sincere recognition of their inherent
goodness for having incarnated in their heart.
Through the empaths mere existence, the 95% of communication that is non-verbal
will energetically cause others to tend to aspire to their own greatness, because of
what the empath represents as a soul that has made diligent progress in past lives.
