These individuals know, consciously or unconsciously, that unplugging their energy circuits from a power target, is the same as saying goodbye to it.  They enter into an unsettling limbo where they want, simultaneously to unplug from their power target and to hang onto it.

Some people end up trying to live in the two worlds, not entirely inhabiting the one that no longer suits them, yet never quite moving on to the next either.  Thus it is, that many people journey to the well of healing but find that once they get there, that they cannot actually drink.

Healing requires taking action.  It is not a passive event.  We are meant to draw on our inner resources, to find the strength to leave behind our outmoded beliefs and behaviours, and to see ourselves in new healthy ways – to take up our beds and walk.  The problem is, so many people feel they can’t do this, and they look outside themselves for the answers.

Learning Symbolic Sight

Start learning to diagnose your own relationship with each of the seven power centres in your body.  Make yourself the subject of your first intuitive evaluation.  In the process, you will find yourself becoming more aware of the extraordinary world that lies behind your eyes.  Ultimately, you will begin learning symbolic sight, the ability to use your intuition to interpret symbols in your life.  When a person seeks to see more, healing is inevitable.

First and foremost, focus your attention on learning to interpret your life’s challenges symbolically.  Find a meaning in them.  Think and feel how they connect to your health.  Bring attention every day, to the challenges you face and to how your mind and spirit respond to them.  Observe what causes you to lose power, and where you feel the loss.

Second, think of yourself at all times as an energy being, as well a physical one.  The energy aspect of yourself is the transmitter and recorder of all your thoughts and interactions.  Develop the habit of evaluating the people, experiences and information that you allow into your life.

Developing symbolic sight begins with intention: consciously and regularly evaluate your interactions and their influence on your emotional and physical power.  Be honest with yourself and don’t interfere with your reception of the information because of any agenda of wanting to see things in a certain way.

Third, conduct energy self-evaluations on a daily basis.  Don’t wait to become ill before you attend to the health of your energy system.  Learn to sense the stress accumulating in your energy field, and take the steps to start healing yourself at the energy level.  We can simplify our feelings into two categories – we either feel good or we feel bad.  If we feel bad, our energy system requires attention.  Make self-evaluation a habit.

Fourth, when you discover an energy leak, (you will know from how you feel) focus only on the essentials that can help you recover your energy.  Always address the question, ‘Why am I losing power?’  In healing any imbalance, whether energetic or physical, you must always involve both your mind and your heart.  They are both part of your neural network and it is important to get them working in harmony.  In order to do this, practice the following:-

• Instead of focusing so much on the outside world, bring your focus into your heart centre
• Do a breathwork exercise – breathe out for longer than you breathe in. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a relaxed response
• Focus on gratitude and get a ‘feel good’ response

Fifth, start learning what rather than who, draws power from you.  Understand that the person who seems to be drawing your energy, is actually only a reflection of some part of you.  For example, if you feel jealous of someone, the important aspect to understand is that the problem doesn’t lie with that specific person, but with the shadow side of your nature, as it is reflected in that person.

In effect, that person is serving as your teacher.  Directing your feelings of jealousy towards that person, will not heal you.  You will be only be sent more and more teachers, each more intense than the previous one.

Your task is to learn the lesson that the teacher has for you, rather than to resent the teacher.  When you incorrectly conclude that a specific person is the cause of your feeling depleted, you are slipping into fear and blame.  Once you set your sights on the lesson rather than the teacher, you have achieved a significant benefit of symbolic sight:- you see the truth of the situation being delivered to you, via the challenge.

Sixth, simplify your requirements for healing.  The requirements to heal any illness are essentially the same.  Think of the illness as a power disorder.  Identify where you feel the pain/discomfort/emotional imbalance, and then be honest with yourself and confront where you might have contributed to the condition with ‘incorrect’ thinking.

Every thought we think, word we speak and action we take, is generating a vibration – either positive or negative.  This energy will come back to us.  To develop your symbolic sight, daily action is required.  Eat healthily, carry out daily exercise, practice positive thinking and trust that the process is working.

Seventh, simplify your spirituality.  For example:

• All circumstances can be changed in a moment and all illness can be healed
• Be consistent: live what you believe is a good way to be
• Change is constant. Learn to go with the flow of change
• Never look to another person to make you happy – happiness comes from within
• Life is a learning experience. Every situation, challenge and relationship, contains a lesson
• Positive energy works more effectively than negative energy in every situation
• Live in the present moment and practice forgiveness – of yourself and others

In all likelihood, we have made our lives far more complex than they have to be.  Achieving health, happiness and an energy balance, comes down to a decision to focus more on the positive than on the negative and to live in a manner that is spiritually in harmony with what we know to be the truth.  Making these two commitments alone, is sufficient to allow the power contained within our Divine biological system, to influence the content and direction of our lives.

The settings and people in our lives might be different, but the challenges they represent to us are the same.  The more we are able to learn this truth, the more we can develop symbolic sight – the ability to see through physical illusions and to recognise the lessons being offered to us, by life’s challenges.
