Keeping Ourselves Centered And Protected By Dr. Judith Orloff
As you go through the intuitive healing process you need to know: each of us has our own special power. We carry it within; it waits to be awakened. Call it your inner self, your spirit, or light--however conceived, you must meet and come to know your core-essence. The source of all intuition, it is your fiercest ally and advocate against danger. By connecting with this part of yourself you'll mount confidence, feel safer in the world. Then whatever or whoever crosses your path--even the devil incarnate--will be no match for your resilience.
I want you to flush out beliefs that divert you from your intuitive healing power. Begin by asking yourself, "What in my life throws me off center and why?" I'm referring to everything from a stranger flashing you a dirty look, to fear of rejection, to dealing with someone in pain. Interactions where your energy dims. Weak spots, points that need securing. And what about negativity? How do you deal with yours, or another's? If a supervisor says, "You'll never be successful," or an ex-lover announces, "You're incapable of a healthy relationship," do you buy into it? We each have our triggers. The basis for centering and protection is grasping where we get caught, and then disengaging the trigger.
Four common beliefs that drain your intuitive healing power:
1. I'm not strong enough to protect myself.
As children, many of us aren't taught to believe in the full power we contain. Yes, our parents may support our intelligence, talents, physical attractiveness--even teach us sound ethical values, the difference between right and wrong. But what happens to our inner self? Might even devoutly religious parents fail to realize it is there? Our starting point is to recognize we possess a very real internal source which enables us to deeply see and know. Yet when something goes wrong, frequently our first impulse is to look outside ourselves for someone to "fix" us. We get sick; we rush to the doctor. We become depressed; we call a therapist. We're in pain; we take a pill. It's fine to seek expertise--but we have it backwards. Look inside first. Really, it's not a big blank in there. Then act on what your wisdom tells you. What stops us? A likely culprit is the vulnerable child we each carry within. Mogul or mailman, mother or monk, this aspect of our psyche yearns to be taken care of, protected, and is unequipped to do it alone. He pops up in the darndest circumstances, reducing us to a helpless tiny tot. Of course we must tenderly acknowledge her needs--but know where to draw the line. Would you want a baby running your boardroom? Your life? Remember: Your inner self is more than your inner child. Far grander--capable of ministering to all your needs--is the radiance of your spirit. Feeling this, knowing this, is the best protection of all. You must become your own champion before anyone else can. When you believe in yourself, no one else can diminish you.
2. Other people's negative thoughts can harm me.
In my workshops, I'm struck by how worried participants are about being thwarted by other people's negative thoughts. Such concerns need to be addressed. On an intuitive healing level, ill intentions or feelings can affect us, creating anxiety or physical dis-ease. We must train ourselves to deflect them. What is negative energy? Any force antithetical to your well-being. How does it turn up in everyday life? Let's start at the lower end of the spectrum. Your neighbor doesn't approve of you. A friend puts down your plan to start college at forty. Your ex-boyfriend's girlfriend is sending you bad vibes. What do you do?
Strategies to develop intuitive healing:
1. Don't lead a lifestyle based on assuming others are out to get you. This perpetuates fear.
2. If someone is sending you negative thoughts, avoid dwelling on them. The more attention you pay to negativity, the more influence you give it.
3. Focusing on the strength of your inner self is the best defense against negativity, no matter how dramatic its manifestation. If you are solidly connected to yourself, nothing can get you.
3. I'm too sensitive for my own good.
The arch-enemy of intuition is lack of sensitivity. Know this: There is no such thing as being overly sensitive. To grasp the concept, you may have to reconfigure old ideas that have been drummed into your head. When parents or teachers said, "You have to toughen up," or especially with boys, "only sissies cry," unknowingly they were undermining the very crux of your intuitive tie with the world. Male sensibility, in particular, has been bludgeoned by such rigid conditioning. But, for both sexes, to break down childhood armoring requires extraordinary commitment, trust, and resolve.
What I'm speaking of isn't simply expressing your emotions. It's slowly learning, in your own time frame, to remain wide open to an intuitive realm--being one with the wind, the moon, other people's joys, sorrows, the continuum of life and death. From this comes an intimate ecstatic bond with all of existence, exactly what you don't want to protect yourself from. Sensitivity only turns against you when you feel overwhelmed. But how do you stay receptive and not get obliterated by the intensity of such input? It is possible to remain vulnerable and feel safe. The answer is never to shut your sensitivity off but to develop it as a creative resource.
4. It’s my job to take on the pain of others.
We're trained that as big-hearted people it's laudable to try to relieve the pain of others. A homeless person holding a cardboard sign, "I'm hungry. Will work for food" at a busy intersection; a hurt child; a distraught friend. It's natural to want to reach out to them, ease their angst. But many of us don't stop there. Inadvertently, we take it on. Suddenly we're the one feeling desolate, off kilter, bereft, when we felt fine before. This loss of center is what I want to address. It does not serve us. I am adamant: the most compassionate, effective route to healing people is to be a supportive presence, not attempt to live their pain for them. Moreover, sometimes suffering has its own cycle that has to be respected, hard as that may be to witness.
We must lie to rest the old metaphysical prototype of the empathic healer. Typically grossly obese women (extra weight, they mistakenly argued, was the only way to stay grounded), who cured patients by absorbing symptoms with the technique of laying on of hands. The result? Patients would leave feeling better; the healers would be a sickly wreck. These women were convinced such a sacrifice was necessary to lessen the suffering of others. As a young physician, I almost got snagged in the same trap. During the first months of private practice, I used to drag myself home, flop into bed half-dead from everything I'd absorb: a sure path to burn-out. This tack wasn't good for me or my patients.
I've learned the value of being a catalyst for people's growth without compromising my well-being. Patients themselves have taught me I can't do the work for them. That is not my job. Nor is it yours. Keep this in mind: it is none of our business to deprive anyone else of their life experiences. I understand the impulse to want to make things better. Compassion and the desire to console are human. But there's a fine line between supporting someone and trying to do it for them. No matter how well-meaning or heartfelt your intention, doing too much is not an act of love but of sabotage. You can be caring and honest with someone, yet still let them be. Don't equate honoring their growth process with abandoning them. A practical philosophy of intuitive healing must include preserving your energy as well as serving others. Striking a balance is essential.

Tapping into our new beginnings
Greetings!
Things are shifting and sorting, all in readiness for a move forward the
second half of October.
There are various stages to this latest phase of re-connecting, and some of
us may be here while others are there, but all in divine and perfect order,
as always.
The process of re-wiring or re-connecting to a new shore, or higher
vibrating home involved a tuning up within, as well as a tuning up without.
The economy here in the US is undergoing a similar process, which will
affect the planet as a whole. And as we tune up within, we will affect the
planet as a whole as well.
This is a massive transition.but as many of us are far ahead of the masses,
we will be nearly untouched, as all our needs will be met with ease.
If you are one who has recently let go of connections to the old, you may
now be finding yourself in a space of self-exploration, perhaps considering
a geographical move, and wondering what your new role might be. Being still,
exploring new options and passions, re-connecting to what it is that you
really and truly have always wanted, and allowing things to unfold oh so
naturally are your keys.
During these times, we are always taken care of. If we are in a phase where
we are re-connecting to our authentic selves, or allowing that process to
unfold, the universe is always behind us, supporting our needs until we are
complete with our self-exploration. There is a road map for this process in
Stepping Into the New Reality (more about it at the end of this energy
alert), as this process is a key component of ascension, and will continue
on for many who are on various rungs of the ascension ladder.
If your re-connection process is complete or near complete, you may find
yourself in states of busy-ness, with too many projects to tend to, perhaps
feeling overwhelmed, and with a seeming inability to complete just one. All
in varying states of being half-finished and scattered. What is occurring
here, is that we have one foot in one reality and another foot in another.
And the realities are about setting our foundations, beginning those new
projects, and tending to our supports until the new has arrived in full.
Because we have created our new connections, this begins then, a new phase
or new energy current that wants to be utilized, while at the same time, we
may still need to finish up some of the old in order to be ready and
prepared for the new.
It is just a matter of overlaps while going from one place to another.
Another common scenario of moving from one vibrational level to another, is
having an experience of seemingly everything breaking and needing to be
repaired or fixed. What is occurring here, is that there is now a
vibrational mis-match, and things need to be adjusted, or "fixed." We have
to set up new alignments for the new, and this is simply part of the
process.
If nothing is happening for you right now, and everything seems still and
dead in the water, then know that your new connections are still being lined
up. You will connect when all is ready and in alignment. We are all in
differing stages of this process, but in the end, our new connections will
arrive when they will! And oh so perfectly indeed.
During this time of new connections, we are experiencing a new unity as
well. As the veil thins on a regular basis, we ultimately begin to see our
neighbors, brothers, and sisters for who they really are. The masks begin to
fall and we are once again united with more of our memory intact. If you are
one who has seen beyond the masks for a long while, it can be wonderful to
have others now join you in recognition of each another!
This new unity is occurring because the time is right. All is in divine and
perfect order. We are beginning the stages of supporting each other. And as
we choose to let go of what is rapidly falling now, we will then find
ourselves in groups of like-minded people, all willing and able to connect
in beautiful ways.
As I have mentioned so many times in the past, we are embodying so much more
light now within ourselves, that we are the ones we need to defer to. We
need no longer ask for wisdom or support outside of ourselves. We are at an
evolutionary level now, that allows us to dictate our next steps and the
next phase. Enough of us are ready. We have morphed to a new level of
becoming angels on Earth. A space ship is not going to arrive and save us,
the darkness is not going to take over the planet, and any horrible scenario
of the end times will not occur. These illusions come from an old 3D
mentality and are not necessary, nor can they exist in the higher vibrations
we now find ourselves in.
Continuing to focus upon darkness during this process of transition will
only serve to fuel an unwanted scenario of complete illusion, as well as
placing one in that reality.a reality that is being created and maintained
by those who are buying into it and bringing attention to it.
The reality is this: We are transitioning from the old to the new. We are
now existing in a higher vibrating reality. Anything that is not vibrating
at this new level, will cease to exist, as there is no energy left to
sustain it. Thus, it crashes. In this way, the old cannot be held up or
saved. It is not possible. No new blood or attention can bring it back. This
is what we have been waiting for, so it is actually a time to rejoice if one
chooses to focus their attention in this way. Connecting to the new or a
different shore is what will sustain us now. The reason we are experiencing
the re-connections is because of the fall. So you see, we are always being
taken care of, and know as well, that we are the ones creating and
implementing the plan. This is why we are always right where we need to be.
We would not create a scenario or plan that would jeopardize those who are
here to assist. That would not make sense.
At higher levels, everything is always going in the same direction. There is
no polarity.there is no darkness. So-called darkness is only here to spur us
on to create something new and different. The darkness is in reality, the
light as well, as everything is always light. Here in the US, if we had not
had George Bush as president for the past eight years, we would not be where
we are now. And where we are now, is in a space where enough individuals are
willing and ready for change.for a new and higher way of being and living.
George Bush had to shake things up for us. He did a wonderful job, and he
did his job well. He was just part of our ascension process, and at his soul
level, he knew exactly what he was doing. We are all in this together.
So then, the so-called "darkness" is not trying to take over. It is showing
us the way. There is not a war here between dark and light, as everything is
in on this together. The best thing to focus on now is the new, and simply
leave the so-called "darkness" behind for others who still need a wake-up
call. It is not for us to try and bring it down. It has its' purpose. Our
job is to hold the light, to create the new in our own sanctuaries of
choice, to allow the old to fall.
We are in an incredible space now, during an incredible time. Letting go of
the old, staying centered and still, and tapping into who we really and
truly are, will automatically place us in the higher realms. Focus is key as
well. Looking in a new and different direction, focusing on a different
perspective, or simply thinking about something else when times seem tough,
will automatically catapult us into a new reality created simply through
thought.
We have an opportunity now to create what we have always wanted. We have an
opportunity now to come together in communities of choice. We have an
opportunity to offer our own special gifts and talents to others in order to
create a whole. These are awesome times indeed.
So get ready, as the latter part of October will rev things up, cement
things in, and connect us so much more securely to a very new beginning!
Which side will you choose to be on and what will your new beginning be?
A brief note: Stepping Into the New Reality is indeed ready to roll, but
for various reasons will only be ready for purchase when the new web site is
up and running. We are anticipating one more week, as the new site is very
near completion now. Thank you for your unending patience and your continued
support!
