Dealing with the Dark Side By Deborah King

You’re exhausted, but having trouble sleeping. You keep getting one lousy cold after another. You feel like there’s a heavy lid over your usual wellspring of happiness. You can’t seem to function right and don’t know why.

What’s going on?

From a psychological standpoint, you seem to be depressed. But from the point of view of energy medicine, you could very well be under psychic attack. Yes, consciously or unconsciously, someone may have formed an intention to harm you.

Maybe you have a mother-in-law who hates the fact that you stole away her precious son or daughter. Don’t discount the old “evil eye” she gives you whenever she can. Maybe you’ve got an ex whose negativity towards you is still strong, even years after the divorce. Or a “frenemy” who’s jealous because you still fit into the jeans you wore in high school.

Everyone, like it or not, has some darkness within, the infamous shadow side that is the storehouse of negative feelings. When these disturbing emotions are not acknowledged and released, the shadow side can get in the driver’s seat. That negative energy can, in fact, cause real problems for someone else. For example, I worked with a woman I’ll call Sandy, who came to me because she had lost all her zest for her new job. She’d been thrilled when she’d gotten her new position, with a substantial increase in income. Now she could barely drag herself to work.

The cause of her problem was obvious to me. I could see a “cord”—a psychic attachment—that connected her to her father. Although he was outwardly proud of his daughter’s accomplishment, inwardly he was jealous of her success, especially since he had recently been advised to take early retirement. I showed Sandy a powerful shamanic technique that helped her sever that negative cord from her father, while still retaining the good cords of love and respect between them. Soon she was once again happy at work.

That dark side is usually pretty low level as long as you are in touch with your feelings and you process them. The problem is that most people are unconscious of 90 percent of their thoughts and feelings. That’s why I’m forever urging people to meditate and journal—two of the best ways to get and stay in contact with how you really feel.

It’s your unprocessed negative feelings about yourself and your life, and about other people, that make up your shadow side. And when you act from your shadow, you come from a place of negative energy. That shadow energy attracts the dark forces from beyond, just like a magnet. It’s key to understand that, just like with everything else in your life, you always play a role in what happens to you; you aren’t a helpless victim.

Don’t discount psychic attack as too “out there.” It’s real. It happens all the time. But you can learn to protect yourself from psychic attack as well as how to clear yourself of negative energy, both your own and that which comes from outside yourself.

I tell you how to do just that in my new book, Be Your Own Shaman, (http://www.deborahkingcenter.com/BeYourOwnShaman/) and in this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoMLXebb3K0.

You can learn to protect yourself and to undo the connections that are holding you back.

Are Animals Natural Healers? – A Cat’s Purr-fect Healing Frequency

Val Heart is an animal communicator who works with health and behavior issues with animals.

Many animals are healers.  For instance, science has shown that all cats from all around the world purr at the same frequency.  Further, they’ve discovered that that exact frequency when applied to bone and tissue accelerates healing!

As you allow yourself to see and respect animals as intelligent, responsive beings with spiritual qualities that we can admire and learn from, you’ll begin to know them at a much deeper level.  And they’ll respond to you like you’re more intelligent as well.  (I can’t tell you how often I hear from our animal friends how dense they think their humans are, and how hard it is for them to communicate with us!)

Some years ago my husband and I had two cats that shared our home with us.  When my husband laid down, whether for a nap or at night, one specific cat, TuffyTiger, would go directly to his chest and liver areas and start to vigorously purr and knead his body.  She would eventually settle and rest with him, all the while purring loudly.  We thought it was the cutest thing.  This went on for well over a year. Each time he laid down there TuffyTiger would be, always purring.

My husband wasn’t feeling any pain or showing any signs of illness, so we just thought she was being very loving toward him.  He got to where he sought her out because he always felt so peaceful and relaxed, and said he could sleep better with her there.  He also said he noticed that he would wake up from their time together feeling more refreshed.

After almost 18 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced.  Shortly afterward he noticed pain in his chest and stomach, and only then did they discover that he had liver cancer.  Within 10 months he passed away from cancer.

We didn’t know it at the time, but my husband had cancer throughout his body.  TuffyTiger had been healing and working with him for over 10 years, and had successfully been keeping cancer at bay with her purring and earnest, loving ministrations.

The next time a cat gifts you with their purr let yourself feel how deep into your own body the vibration goes.  Also notice where it is directed.  Often a cat will specifically choose where it sits with their human friend(s) – and the site is usually a problem area.  It could be a knee, organ or injured area that your friend is attempting to help you with.

I’ve even seen cats who literally configure their bodies to flow the energy in a specific pattern, channeling degenerative and destructive energy lodged in ‘hot’ areas into shut down, ‘cold’ areas that need it.

Take a moment to thank them, offering gratitude for their ministering to you. Breathe with the purr, and allow yourself to vibrate as deeply as possible.

For all you know, they are healing you in the same way that shamans and healers have for centuries!
