We are marvelous, sentient beings; which means we are feeling beings. Whenever we come together one on one or in group, our energy bodies come together. The energy body is also called the etheric-spiritual body or aura. Our natural inclination is to connect and exchange energy - - no matter the subject matter or quality of the exchange.
When we leave each other’s presence, we also leave some of our energy with whoever we’ve been with and vice-versa. As we go about our day, we unconsciously gather energies from all the people and places we’ve been. This accumulation becomes tangible to those of us who can see and consciously feel. It can literally add inches to some of our bodies... psychic fat. We become heavier from shared mental mass and especially from emotional energy.
According to Patricia Diane Cota Robles, our emotional body is the largest of our four worldly bodies and as a result 80% of who we are gets expressed through this body. Consequently, the emotional body has a powerful effect on our health and state of being. Because the emotional body is predominately water we are greatly affected by shifts of energy from the heavenly bodies. For example, during the full moon the gravitational pull creates a change in the tides and in our emotional body. If we are relatively in balance during the full moon, it is a joyful experience for us. If we are out of balance, we become miserable and sometimes irrational during this time.
Coming together, mixing energies, leaving parts of ourselves here and there (fragmentation) and accumulating energies from others creates pollution within us. This pollution will eventually make itself known. We may just feel fatigued or tired, but we might also feel depressed and hopeless. Most of us know nothing about energy or energy pollution because we have “forgotten” how sentient we were created to be. People have become so disconnected from their feeling nature that they believe not feeling, living in numb is normal. This is a grave mistake (no pun intended).
Life urge and death urge are two energies that flood us and all the world. They are manifesting thought forms that literally create life or death within us. Knowing about them allows you to consciously make wise choices hourly and daily. It does not matter whether you believe in them or not; these energies exist and they are active in your life whether you acknowledge them or not. When you participate in the world, you are absorbing other people’s emotional energy (including their death urge). It is polluting your body - mind - field - your energy body.
You may have judgements with regard to emotional energy pollution; you may not. It does not matter what “you think about it”, it does impact you. Rather than debate it, it makes sense to handle it. Handling it will increase your life force, your aliveness, your over all health, well being and longevity. You cannot handle it by thinking it away. You cannot eradicate it by using a protective shield of light and other such strategies.
One of the simplest and most profound ways through this is learning to use spiritual purification daily in your life. Spiritual purification practices are simple, delicious and used by the intelligent and the wise.
Approximately 130,000 years ago people lived thousands of years in any given incarnation. (Read the Ramayana by any translator, especially William Buck). They had built into their lifestyle the practices of spiritual purification. It was their manual for life. Coming out of our numb, it is now time to return to these simple measures to enhance our lives, clear our minds, purify our bodies and support our aliveness.
Spiritual purification is using the elements to clean our energy bodies and accumulation of discarded mental - emotional mass from our own processes and the processes of those folks we have been around. To minimumly support yourself, here are few suggestions.
1) WATER - bathe or shower at least twice a day. Drink at least one to two quarts pure water per day -Reverse Osmosis or distilled water. (Do not drink tap water. Nor substitute juice, coffee or tea for water.) Learn about colon cleansing, make it a priority in your life - - enemas, colonics, herbs (EARTH).
2) FIRE - Sit within five feet of an open fire outside one to two hours or all day or all night. Or sleep or sit by a fireplace. Or light one -or up to twelve candles in your living and if possible work place.
3) AIR - Use any form of Pranayama daily. Use conscious practices with your breath daily ( to include Bursting the Body Light). Heal your breathing through Rebirthing. Your breathing mechanism is shut down till you heal your birth trauma; healing it sets you up for optimal health.
4) EARTH - Become more conscious of your diet and eating habits. Eat more raw fruits and vegetables, grains, herbs. Learn to juice fruits and vegetables. Use food as your medicine to vibrant health. Back off all meat and dairy. Get massaged. Learn about color and sacred geometry. Learn about herbs and your colon...1-800-herbdoc.
5) ETHERS - smudge your self, everyone who lives with you, home, work place, car, often if not daily. Burn incense to “up” the energy of your environment. Be following your highest desire.
6) MIND - Learn technologies that champion the monkey mind and translate the psychological doodoo you are carrying into energy and light (like Quantum Dynamics).
7) LOVE - Love yourself and God - Goddess - Source with all your might to magnetize to yourself a loving, supportive spiritual community.
