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.
