How to affect energetic states you find yourself experiencing that are challenging
A personal story, at times messy, with an actual practice I am going to teach you that will help you when you feel triggered by someone or something. This one is powerful. It worked for me.
I listed to the audio I recorded yesterday again this morning, while I lay in bed. The sun was just rising.
“Listen to it Terra. Just give it a chance. It may not sound as messy as you think.”
I made it for my paid subscribers yesterday, on my birthday. I made it because I am an energy practitioner, I had just written a deep part of my book the night before, and then I found myself challenged by something. Something hard.
And I decided to look at the challenge as a gift and try out one of the practices I came up with twelve years ago, that I had used in Sedona. A practice I never forgot, that felt very powerful to me.
I am here to teach practices.
And I am, like anyone, sometimes experiencing life in various shades of exquisite messiness.
It felt good to listen to the audio I made yesterday again this morning and to feel what I had done the day before.
I remembered my teacher Sean, and how he would cry sometimes, when he told powerful stories while he was speaking at events on stage and how it didn’t detract, but rather brought the lesson home to me. I still remember some of those stories. It is not wrong to cry or to feel things; it also can give people permission to feel their own similar places in themselves, places often bereft and alone. Sean taught me that.
I cried a little in the audio I made. And I also taught something that worked. The next day, this very morning, I could see that it had worked more than even I expected.
The practice uses Alchemy. Alchemy is when you change something…such as from Lead to Gold. And yesterday, on my quest with God and myself, I tried some Alchemy, successfully. Because the messy things shifted, and in addition, a friend reached out, apologetically, and told me, that she will miss me and felt upset because I was leaving to move to the city so soon.
You and I are here to be challenged. And challenges can be really, really tough. It can be tougher to see them as gifts. Especially tough when they arrive first thing in the morning, on your birthday, like mine did. I asked myself as I listened to the audio, “Do I sound like a victim? I keep mentioning it was my birthday….” But I don’t think so, because I also kept reminding you and me that the situation was a gift…and it was my birthday…and God must have felt I was ready…and so that is a compliment, right? Or good somehow, don’t you think? I was asking myself those things in various ways and reminding myself of them yesterday.
But this was a gift, and the practice is pretty simple. That doesn’t mean it is not incredibly powerful. It is. This practice can change you. It can change your relationships. It can take you to the next level, as it is taking me.
And it is not a magic bullet where you will shoot into heaven and never be challenged by God again.
We came for these things.
And when they come, it is good to have tools.
I like to think often of Jesus and Mary and how they managed to love people, even people who saw them through lenses that distorted things.
I think of my upcoming book and how I can’t control how people will take it in, how they will see and feel me, or their reactivity. This includes friends and family.
So God sent me a gift to help me learn, to strengthen me. And I tried something out I came up with twelve years ago and never forgot. Something energetic. Something beautiful that I remember when I think of energy.
And this little practice helps love energy that is in pain, back into its state of divinity.
I applied it to a few things in this audio. I tell a story and do it as I speak. I bring you along so you can try it with me.
This morning I decided there were a few minutes I was still “in it,” meaning, in the midst of the energy that was still messy in and around me, while I was speaking. It didn’t feel completely clean.
But maybe that’s ok?
We are all messy in some ways.
If I was with Sean, speaking, I would practice and wait until I could record the same audio from a different place. But then it wouldn’t be the same either. It would be another crafted, polished thing, that is a little bit real. That makes me look wise so maybe you might really trust this practice and try it out.
Or maybe you will trust me more, because I did it messy and it still worked, and because I cared enough about you to make an extra post, and put it behind a paywall, for people that want to learn some alchemy and magic. Who are ready to take 45 minutes to listen and sit and try something out. Who are ready to love this world and themselves back into a higher state of being.
Are you that someone?
You will know.
Trust your intuition.
Really, I am not doing this for money. I am doing it for love. And I am learning to give and receive.
But practices like this require skin in the game.
I will put a few phrases at the end to keep in mind…so you can feel where I am going. The basic form of it in a little list after the audio for you, to keep things simple.
But the main thing, the hard thing, is to start with this as your reality: “THIS IS HAPPENING FOR ME AND NOT TO ME.” Then know that that hard situation, that place in yourself you find difficult to be with, that energy that is so overwhelming, or that person you find challenging….? Whatever it is, it is a gift that comes to you out of love.
Now let’s see what to do with it, shall we?
