One Step Forward, One Step Back

When you are developing yourself spiritually, either as a healer, meditator or developing your psychic/mediumistic gifts, it can often feel like you are taking two steps forward and one step back. You will have great days when you feel really positive and other days when your mood drops very low and you feel you are struggling to make progress. There are a few reasons for this which I would like to share with you.

 
Firstly, the more you open yourself up to spiritual energies, the more sensitive you become to all energies. These energies come from the people around you, situations you find yourself dealing with, the place/environment you are in, as well as the cosmic/astrological influences of full moons, equinoxes, eclipses etc.  Another important explanation for the feeling of moving forward one minute then back another is that adjustments are taking place in your energy body which you need to allow time to settle. By receiving energy attunements or opening yourself up spiritually, your energy body is expanding but it will happen at a pace which is not too much too soon so that your energy body can cope with the changes. Your own guides will oversee this process.
 

So if, like me, you have been feeling lately like you were making great progress one minute then plunged back down to where you used to be and thought you’d left behind the next, here is a message from my guides that you may find helpful:

 

Communicate with us and fill yourself with the light of your soul. This is the light you seek. You yearn to rest in the light of your soul at all times as this light can indeed feel like a ‘high’ and indeed is a high vibrational rate. The physical world can seem so dense and dark in comparison. The darkness you fear is the separation from your soul. You must channel the light from your soul on a daily basis to find the peace and strength you need to guide you through the changes that will soon become apparent in the physical world. You have also been feeling down lately as the increased light you are now holding has shed light on unresolved issues in your energy body. Keep channelling the light and this will pass. Being aware of this process helps you to cope and deal with fluctuating moods.

We from the realms of light bring you our wisdom and blessings at this time.

 

A good spiritual practice to adopt is to cleanse your chakras with white light, then raise your light quotient (personal vibration). Begin by asking your guides to send down a beam of pure white light down your central chakra column, entering your crown chakra and flowing out through your root chakra and into the earth. Now ask them to send down a ball of pure white light and bring this into your heart chakra. Be in your heart space now and fill it with the pure white light. As you breathe out, expand this ball of white light out all around you to fill the 7 levels of your being. Meditate on this white light as long as you wish. This will keep your vibrational rate high and act as a form of psychic protection, protecting you from lower energies.
