Are You Swimming in a Soup of Non-beneficial Energies?


Looking at the world through a ‘dirty’ aura, what do you see? How accurate is your perception?

Have you ever accused someone of being angry with you, only to hear them claim, “I’m not!” How could people be so stubborn as to deny it? It’s clear from the body language, the way they look at you, even the way they breathe. Do they think you’re a complete dummy?

Looking at the world around you through a dirty aura is similar to peering through dirty glasses. You just can’t see clearly. Our thoughts and emotions are real. They are energy. And as Einstein said, “Energy does not disappear.” If our thoughts and emotions are energy, and energy does not disappear, then where do these energies go? Remember the Peanuts Gang… Charlie Brown and his friend Pigpen? Pigpen was the boy who walked around in a cloud of dirt, little poofs of it always coming off him.

Like our friend Pigpen, we carry these energies around with us; we dump them in our homes and our offices. All that stress you felt at work yesterday… you brought it home with you and plopped it in your living room! Over time, this stuff accumulates, and soon everyone at home is looking through ‘dirty glasses’. No wonder after years of living with your dream partner, you seem to stop seeing the good qualities you first fell in love with. You're looking at them through a grey cloud of ‘negative’ energy!

Who you calling dirty!?                                   

We use the word ‘dirty’ for lack of a better term. The energies I’m talking about are essentially energies that are not beneficial to us – energies of stress and anxiety, fear, resentment, anger, depression… all those heavy feelings, emotions, and thoughts that we all have as part of the human experience.

What Can We Do?

One of the many useful tools Pranic Healing has given me is energy hygiene. We take showers to keep our physical bodies clean, but how about our energy bodies?

Salt + water = shower for the energy body

A salt shower cleanses the aura, so life’s daily stresses don’t accumulate and cloud your perception.
Water has the ability to absorb energy, while salt has the ability to neutralize or disintegrate negative energies.   

The person you thought was angry with you… you may have had the energies of anger in your aura. Since you were not feeling angry at the time, it was easy to assume that it was coming from outside you. That’s what looking at the world through a dirty aura is like. If there is ‘anger’ in your aura, then everything you look at is tinted with these energies. It’s not the same as feeling angry; it’s more subtle.

How Do You Take a Salt Shower?

You can use any kind of salt except Epsom salt for your salt shower. Epsom salts are useful, but they are not actually salt. Save them for the purposes they serve. I like to use table salt. It’s cheap, and it’s soft on the skin. Wet the body, and then take salt by the handful and rub in gently all over the body. It actually softens the hair and skin! Do this with focus and the intention to remove diseased and dirty energies. Your intention makes this powerful. If you think this is all hocus-pocus, try a salt shower no focus or intention. Just rub the salt all over, without thinking about why. Then try it with intention. You can be specific with your intent: remove all energies of stress. Compare.

My Giant Leap

About five years ago, I had a peculiar experience.

Feeling 'stuck' in a relationship that wasn't working, I was nearing a place I had heard of but never thought I would experience. A foreign place of poor self-esteem, darkness, and emotional roller coaster. I think they call the place, 'rock bottom', at least... it felt like that to me. I would look at myself in the mirror and wonder where was that 'other' me? The one who was always positive and happy, the one who was so strong, who was fun. I stayed in this place for more than a year, not knowing what to do or how to get back to the 'me' that I knew and loved. 

Then one day I found myself talking with my boyfriend, trying to explain something I really didn't understand myself. As the words left my mouth a part of me really questioned my sanity. 
"I feel as though I'm standing on the edge of a cliff. My arms are spread open and wide. I can feel the wind washing over me, and I'm about to jump. I know without a doubt that something wonderful is coming, and I'm about to spread my wings and soar." He looked at me, blinking. The kind of blinking you do in quick succession when you think the person you're looking at is completely losing the plot. 

I wanted to shut my mouth, to tell him "Nevermind, I don't know what I'm talking about," but the words just kept coming out of me. "I'm going to jump. I'm about to soar, and I'm doing it with or without you. You had better decide if you want to take my hand and jump with me, or to stay here, because something very big is about to enter my life and I'm not going to miss the boat." 

I didn't have any more clue than he did what I was talking about, or what compelled me to say such things. But I knew in my heart that a wonderful journey was before me, and I was determined to find out what it was. 

My boyfriend seemed to sense that there was some truth to what I was saying, and maybe it frightened him a little. He wasn't going to be jumping with me. We'd been through a lot, and this was the end of the line.

did jump. And I went splat on my face. 

After some time in my new surroundings (face-planted on the floor), I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and registered for an energy healing course called Basic Pranic Healing. 

I attended... and it felt like coming home. It was the start of an incredible journey, one that continues to this day. It lifted me up, and (please excuse the cliche here), like wind under my wings, it taught me how to soar! I immediately fell in love. The next level (Advanced Pranic Healing) couldn't come soon enough, and I actually repeated the basic level before the advanced was offered, because the wait was more than I could stand. I started traveling all over Ontario to attend more courses... I was eating the stuff up. I practiced the techniques every day, found a mentor, and enrolled in an associateship program to work toward certification.

Fast forward a few years and I now have my own practice as a Pranic Healer. It's my life, my love, my passion. It's the answer to my long-held questions, "How can I make a difference? How can I help people who are suffering?" 

This is a place to express that passion, not just for Pranic Healing, but for life, for health, and for happiness.
