In the spiritual or new age circle, there is this belief that if you do your meditations, or your spiritual energy work, or your healing work, you’re going to be completely healed. Now, even though I offer energy work myself, I feel I need to say this so that people realize this fact: energy work and healing work are just quick fixes.
I am aware that many people do not want to hear this; we like to think that energy work is long-term and we like to think that spiritual/energy work is permanent. Unfortunately, it isn’t.
Work is a quick fix, it’s good for relief.
Let’s say you’re going through some things, such as pain or emotional turmoil and it is really helpful to do some energy work, energy massage, energy clearing work to clear your chakras etc. You can even do it daily because it’s like taking an energy shower. We take physical showers every day because if we don’t, we get dirty and sweaty and the same goes for energy work because every day we accumulate all kinds of gross stuff. We are connecting with the energies of everyone we interact with. And we collect negative energies.
We may be collecting gray energies and depending on the impact that energy has, Let’s say if we were activated by the person we interacted with and they happen to be quite negative in their energy field, then we can absorb the energy. This means that we have to do the energy clearing work. It’s very effective that way. It’s a quick fix and it’s like taking a shower, but we have to do it every day.
BUT, it doesn’t take away our problems. Our problems are within us, within our consciousness and psyche, so, for example, if we suffer from a disease, no matter how much we take a bath, it will not eliminate it.
There is no way that the disease will disappear no matter how much we bathe. So what we need to do is see a doctor, maybe sometimes, we may even need surgery to recover. We have to do the inner work.
It is the same with all our problems and emotional baggage. It’s not going to go away just with energy work.
I find myself having to tell people this over and over and over again. Because they believe that when they have a problem with someone, all they need to do is some energy work or a little psychic clearing and healing and suddenly all their problems will be gone.
The reality is that our problems are deeply rooted in our unconscious. which require careful work and the removal of layers of these blocks must be handled by professionals. Seek help from a psychotherapist, counselor, or work with a coach. The inner work is really key.
Remember my analogy about the sick person above? I am not saying that when you have problems you are sick, but you are certainly sick, you are not emotionally comfortable, you are not comfortable with yourself, so it is very important to do the work of consciousness, which is essentially the psychology within yourself.
Energy work is a highly effective tool, I am not ruling it out. But we must understand that it is only a quick fix. Do not believe in the idea that you can eliminate your problems and psychologically clear it up.
Empower yourself effectively and stop giving more power to the biggest hoax of the new age movement. Namaste.
