Today I would like to re-visit last weeks topic on Energetic Sensitivities and Boundaries starting with Energetic Sensitivities & Psychic and SpiritualAs living a sacred life would have it, the very evening of the day in which I made this post, I found myself in a situation where someone had received a message in which I felt was asking me to 'protect myself with a bubble of protection' when in a sacred environment.
I asked Beloved Julie for guidance on this topic*, as I know for myself personally - on my journey - I have always felt that I did not need a bubble of 'protection' - yet my journey is not your journey dear reader...
Whether I am taking in other peoples energies in a healing capacity, whether I am encountering the forces of darkness, whether I am in a sacred meditation or gathering, or in my daily life activities, I find that no matter how extreme the energies to be transmuted - it is my souls mission to go through the experience.
Now this is not saying when encountering difficult energies I will not take care of myself and my needs. I have learned with Beloved Julie's love and support to continue to create greater boundaries as my sensitivities increase. Also, sacred life itself will create boundaries where I can feel the ability to rest (and sometimes even feel uplifted) in the presence of difficult energies.
There are many examples in my life where I must make constant decisions about what I can and cannot do on any given day. There are days in which I am so pours that cannot be near people's energies and need to rest. There are days in which I can not be out on the roads driving because I feel energetically overwhelmed by everything I am taking in - so I rest until it passes. My life, which I gave to God - is not 'mine' on any given day, and by staying faithful to God, my purity, who I am (struggling with this one!) and through the Grace of God by being with Beloved Julie and those who are on a similar journey as well as those who love me - deeply - even without understanding the nature of energies and what is happening to me; I am able to let go of agendas on any given day.
To surrender in this way to the Light - to God - is no easy task I assure you. And there have been times where I have said "But I have to do this", and have paid dearly health wise and by not being able to contain energies I am holding and acting them out on those near me. In these times my ego has been humbled greatly, often with my needing to rest for long periods of time.
Now I know some may say "well that's good for you but I have to be in the world". I would answer you that "Yes you are correct", for where you are on your path today. I found that as I surrendered more and more of my life in service to God and humanity, that ordinary life as most people understand 'ordinary' changed for me and God provided a way for me to live the truth of who I am. Was the transition easy? By no means. Was it supported by God? Yes, in strangers and friends, most often 'the way' was provided by dear and loving souls who helped me immensely. If these souls are reading this, you know whom you all are - each of you - dear and precious to me in my times of need. Blessings be upon your souls for ever and ever. Amen.
…Getting back to the topic of 'creating protection' - for me, the thought of creating any type of bubble of 'protection' has been abhorrent to me. I am speaking now about my path and how I AM made me and who I am… AND, I have for the most part, never been able to explain 'with words' why my heart and soul felt this to be true.
To create any type of conscious bubble of protection for me would be cutting myself off from God and humanity. No matter the suffering involved - to cut myself off consciously - creating a barrier would be for me - to cut myself off from God.
Have I had times of massive unconsciousness? Yes. Have I had times when I felt I could not cope and sought escape? Absolutely. AND, as I become stronger, I do have ways in which I can minimize the impact of how much energy I can take in at a time.
By the Grace of God, I am able to and there are times in which I need to be alone with myself - I need (and have been given the blessing) to live in the country by nature and water to feel the most comfortable taking in energies. Lastly, as time has evolved - I need to be able to say no to 'doing' until God's work is completed and then everything else can be taken care of and I now live a life, comfortably blessed to do so.
With this in mind and heart…
*Here is Beloved Julie's response:Dearest Johanna,
The question raised by ________ message involves an understanding at a higher level of where protection comes from and what the purpose of protection is. This is different for different people.
At one level, many who engage with energies that lie close to the Earth may effectively surround themselves with healing mantras, affirmations, visualizations, etc. to create an immunity to intrusion. At this level, one may work with techniques or tools to deal with intrusive energies.
At another level, the will of God is the only protection desired or needed. It determines all that transpires, and one's prayer to serve Divine will and to be aligned with the purposes of light is the protection. At this level, one is joined with the mission of the Christ in intent and purpose, where all becomes subservient to the desire to become a willing servant of the Divine,even if this service involves a taking on of negative energies for the purpose of learning and/or transmuting these energies for the benefit of the Earth.
There are examples within spiritual history of this besides the example of Jesus, though that is the most profound example. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (as well as others), also dealt with negative energies in this way in order to transmute them.
This is a difficult distinction to explain and I have only addressed it in brief outline. However, it should be noted that one's soul and soul-purpose dictates the kind of protection that is sought after and that is needed, and this may not conform to what someone else needs or does. To put it differently, the protective 'egg' that ________ guidance speaks of can be created in a number of ways and at different levels of intensity according to one's capacity to hold light and according to one's soul purpose and alignment with this.
All blessings, dearest Johanna - Julie
