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 will be completely healed. Now even though I offer energy work myself, I feel like I need to say this for people to 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 is not.
Work is a quick fix, it is 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 energy work, energy massages, energy cleanse work to cleanse your chakras etc. You can even do it daily because it’s like taking an energetic shower. We take physical showers every day because if we don’t, we get dirty, sweat and sweat and the same thing happens with energy work because every day we accumulate all kinds of disgusting things. We connect with the energies of all the people with whom we interact. And we capture negative energies.
We can be collecting gray energies and depending on the impact that the energy has, Let’s say if we were triggered by the person we interacted with and it turns out to be quite negative in their energy field, then we can absorb the energy. So this means that we have to do the energy cleaning work. It is very effective that way. It’s a quick fix and it’s like going to take 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 let’s take, for example, if we suffer from a disease, no matter how much we bathe, it is not going to take the disease away from us.
There is no way that the disease will go away no matter how much we bathe. So what we have to do is see a doctor, maybe sometimes we even need surgery to recover. We need to do the internal work.
The same goes for all our emotional baggage and problems. It will not go away with energy work alone.
I find myself having to tell people this 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 some cleansing and psychic healing and all of a sudden all their problems will go away.
The reality is that our problems are deeply ingrained in our unconscious. that require careful work and the removal of layers from these blocks should be handled by professionals. Seek help from a psychotherapist or counselor, or work with a coach. Internal 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 consciousness work, which is essentially the psychology within the self.
Energy work is a very effective tool, I do not rule it out. But we must understand that it is only a quick fix. Don’t buy into the idea that you can eliminate your problems and clear it up psychologically.
Empower yourself effectively and stop giving more power to the greatest deception of the new age movement. Namaste.
