Mastering the Energy Field of Survival
August 20, 2021
In the fourth installment of our six part series, we will be discussing how to Master the Energy Field of Survival. In the previous installments, we have explored the three key categories of our Ego Characteristics and how they help us survive and dance through life. These characteristics, when expressed through a Shamanic lens (in regards to energy), enable us to gain a deeper understanding of how we interact in the world when faced with stressful situations. In these situations, we tend to disregard how much our emotions either block our energy, when we operate on the dark side (harmful to our bodies), or release our energy, when we operate on the light side (heal our bodies). While our essence is focused on survival, we do not use our amazing intuitive gifts. We could save time, frustration and energy, if we were to instead focus on mastering the light side of our unique qualities.
Mastering our Energy Field is a process that requires personal work to achieve success. Listed below are some tips on how to accomplish this:
- Acknowledge Emotional Triggers.
- Release and clear the energy you are holding.
- Seek help if you can’t accomplish this on your own.
- Forgiving your-self.
- Celebrate your healing and accomplishments.
- Recognize it starts with you and then your outside world can change.
- It is never too late to begin. Even in life transitions, this energy can transform.
We have created an avatar (fictitious person) that will illustrate and clarify any questions you may have regarding the last four installments. The avatar will possess one or more qualities of an Ego Character (through the Shemanic lens), a Core Personality, the Moods of Stalking, and will also Master their Energy Field. You may relate to one or all the avatar’s traits, which will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself or perhaps someone you know.
Our avatar is female and lives near the city. Her Ego Character is a Masochist/Skitzoid with the Core Personality of a Do-Gooder and her Moods of Stalking are “Ruthless and Cunning” (Castaneda, Carlos, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, 1985). She is in her late 40’s and has a position of authority in a corporate job.
Although she enjoys her job and has been successful, she also loves being a mom and wife. She wants to contribute more to her family’s needs but never puts herself first. She has also been feeling lost and wondering how she can better fulfill her desires and be of service to humanity. Lately, she has been wondering if exploring some of her spiritual curiosity will provide her with an opportunity to help those in need but is afraid of quitting a great paying job. Although she longs to escape the corporate arena, she needs the security of knowing where her next paycheque is coming from. The confusion surrounding these issues leads to feelings of hopelessness at times and causes her to become overwhelmed. Even though she possesses a strong sense of knowing when she has a clear vision, the uncertainty she feels often drowns out the soft intuitive messages.
She often speaks her mind and is told that she can sometimes be quite abrupt. She can talk herself into and out of anything. If there is something she needs badly enough, she can manipulate the situation to make her world work for her. While she is always willing to help her friends and neighbors, there is an underlying expectation of reciprocation. She feels she is a survivalist and is numb to any kind of pain. If she doesn’t like what she is feeling, she can choose to leave her body in an instant. This often leaves her feeling disoriented and lost ( not grounded). She always wants to maintain a peaceful existence, is trustworthy and has a high sense of integrity.
Our avatar is an empath who is unaware of her abilities. She not only feels everyone's energy, but often mistakes those energies as her own. This creates anxiety and emotional turbulence.
Her body structure is quite thick and she possesses an excessive amount of energy. As an energy generator, she feels the heat and knows how to run her life force. She loves being with others but gets overwhelmed sometimes by how she feels in crowds. She has amazing ideas and wants to create more but doesn’t feel she can succeed on her own.
What approach would you use if she came to you for a session or coaching based on her traits? First and foremost, you must approach her with neutrality. Even though she may not share all of the parts of herself with you initially, if you can read the body structure first, you will notice her physical appearance and how she comments on the questions you ask. When you are holding a space with a masochist, like our avatar, you cannot humiliate her. You will need to check in with her to ensure she is hearing what you say as she possesses the ability to leave her body when the need to escape arises. This is especially true if the emotion is hard to deal with. These reactions would reveal more of a skizoid structure.
Since our avatar is also ruthless, she will be straight up about what she does or does not like. This trait can be advantageous in regards to healing, as she will definitely pursue it. Did you notice how her cunning is engaging if she is trying to get out of something that isn’t comfortable? She will also want to know everything about the process and what the expected result will be because she just has to know. The core personality will relax though and become pleasant if you are clear and concise, especially if you assign tasks, such as homework.
This brief summary serves to highlight how the choices we make are for protecting ourselves and our essence. It also shows how our perception of feeding the dark side or the light side will further keep our ego character fed with the reality we have created.

Part five of our series, which will discuss How our Perception of Reality Molds our Story and Affects our Intuition, will be posted to our blog on September 3, 2021.
The ‘Veil' - the dividing line between the divine, and this physical construct of earth. So many of us still don’t see the magic that can be witnessed between here and there. Often, you will hear that the veil is thinner than it has been at other times of the year, or during a spiritual retreat or ceremony. We are the creators of our existence. We have the power to make this happen, whether we are attuned and initiated into Reiki, or not. The difference between having Reiki as a lifestyle, as opposed to not having it, was revealed to me over the past couple of years. I see how quickly people are learning what took me 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Good news for those who waited, and also for those who started three decades ago. The time construct is an illusion. Time doesn’t exist, so really, we are all precisely where we need to be. Comparison using a timeline, really, is a process of our perceptions and what we align with in the moment. For example, I am currently in a new meditation practice, and a new experience has arisen. In this experience, a whole new reality unfolds, presenting a new opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of myself, and create more extraordinary experiences. Reiki will bring us all to this place eventually, guided and protected so our childlike wonder can develop and take us beyond the veil. Can we achieve this without Reiki? Absolutely, but as a person who is sensitive to energy, I find this modality has given me the love and grace to explore with childlike wonder. I still get to listen to, and follow my higher knowing, and it insists that I do so, but I get to move along at the pace of growth that serves me best (even if my ego thinks differently). Not all of it has been easy, but as parents allow their child to learn to walk and become more human, so does God, Spirit and the creator, allow us to develop in whatever way is intended for each of us. This reflection has both positive and negative aspects, from which we can learn. Soon, the child knows not to touch the hot flame or burning wood. Beyond the veil is where we can heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is where the supernatural kicks in. As this human experience unfolds, we get to observe, watch and learn. Become the watcher, become the magician, and orchestrate the reality your eyes desire to see. There is no prescribed timing, or amount of required waiting. We only need to allow flow, let go, and enjoy the experience. This is only possible when we are the closest to the veil, or when there is the thinning of the veil, as the veil itself on this side of the human experience creates the illusion. Reality awaits beyond the veil—the experience where we heal, grow, and evolve into our life purpose, the place of our universal connection to our creator self, and where we recognize who our guides, teachers, and higher self are, as well as the reality we desire to be in. When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time, do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters, and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic, and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality. Tips for aligning with the “Veil”: Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-hei-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem. Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien). Open-heart connection. Simply touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position. Surrender. Open up to receive with childlike wonder. Calm the mind. Hear your breath or a continuous noise - no thought. Meditation. Starting with a simple OM Meditation is excellent, 10 to 15 minutes, allow yourself to feel. Breathing. Circle your breath - up from the bottom of the left foot and up the body over the crown, and then exhale down the right side. Consult your inner knowing. See if your inner knowing relays any messages, images, or body sensations. Pay attention . An image is worth a thousand words. Journal. Write, dream and create what those meanings are for you. Take action. Move and do one thing that brings reality closer to you. If you need help facilitating any steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!
