Lighting the Path Less Taken

I do alot of reading, and researching for more information about what we do. Our shielding, our grounding, precognetive feelings, empathic abilities.

Shielding is something that becomes easier with time and becomes almost like breathing deeply when tense to relax. Each person has their own personal way to surround themselves with light, a bubble, a disco ball, mirrors, fire ...all work, if not ask for help. Your guides or your friends here are happy to help you.

Cutting old or unwanted ties be they real or energy tethers is also a task we should tend regularly.

At least monthly I take paper and pen and write down all the things and people that hurt me, disappointed me, and things that impacted me in any negative way. I then make a small safe fire and burn them either one at a time or in a ball of paper all at once saying I am free and cleansed. Many cannot use fire being where they live, a bowl in the sink will do to burn your paper with a candle or match to paper and the water is right there to be safe. Safety is paramount!

I ike this exercise and felt it could be helpful to cut away negative energies we carry with us or the dreaded psychic vampires that sometimes hover in human form!

This meditation is an adaptation of an old Japanese technique:

Close your eyes, breathe into your heart, and in your mind's eye, see yourself with someone you have made a promise to in the past and who, through this gesture, you still feel attached to, even though the relationship itself may or may not have ended. In this image, see yourself and the other person sitting together in an empty room. Within this room you alone sit within a spiral of protective energy that separates you both.

Look at your bodies and you will see that strands of energy connect you, streaming from your body to his or hers. Notice where these strands connect. This will show you the deeper relationship that existed between you. Is it a heart connection? Sexual? Of the mind? the soul?

Notice also if there is a discrepancy in where these strands connect (e.g., do they leave your body at the heart but connect to his/hers at the head?). This can suggest where miscommunication is taking place in your relationships or provide insight into where and how your power is taken by others.

When you are ready, say whatever needs to be said to the person in front of you, speaking out loud, if you like, so you can forgive or make amends, accept that person’s forgiveness, finish your business together, take back your promises, and say goodbye.

When the time is right, you will see in your hand a sword you can use to cut the ties of energy between you. Breathe in as you do so to reclaim the power that was yours. This does not hurt the other or you; you are simply cutting through energy.

As you free them and "yourself" from the past and the negative energy, watch the other person drift away from you, becoming more distant until they fade away completely. Gently open your eyes and say out loud “I am free” and commit to that sentiment.

Repeat this exercise whenever you need to and for every situation in which you feel you gave away your power or control.

I think this and other shielding/cleansing exercises could be helpful for those with family issues, spousal difficulties, job troubles, hurtful friends, people who use but don't appreciate you...and maybe so much more.

I like this Sage.
I do cut cords regularly, I have to cos I have a habit of reminisicing (sp?).
Which of course rejoins me and whomever again *sigh*
This is a gentle way of saying goodbye.
I like it :)
Thank you xx
