Joanne from Altoona, PA, asked:
Dear Julie,
I really enjoy reading the questions people submit to you and your answers back to them. I learn a lot from reading the Q&As and appreciate your making them available.
For years I’ve worked with a woman named Lori who calls herself a light worker.
Lori says she has been instructed to shut down all her channels and stop all reiki treatments due to an overabundance of negative energy on Earth. She says that we are at a very dark time in history and feels she must protect herself from negative energy by closing off all her portals. She also told me to stop giving myself reiki treatments. When she talks about all this negativity, I sometimes come away feeling letdown after treatments.
I would love your input on this. Do your spirits tell you that this is a time that we need to be more diligent about dark forces? You seem to be moving right along with everything.
I want to keep seeing Lori, but I would like to come away from our sessions feeling more lighthearted. I liked giving myself the reiki treatments, but because of her warning I have stopped. Is it really unsafe for me?
Thanks,
Joanne
Hi Joanne,
I appreciate your comments about enjoying and learning from my blog of Q&A each week.
Regarding negative energy and dark forces on earth, I’m not seeing or experiencing any of that. In fact, as you may already know, I don’t believe in evil spirits. All spirits are pure love.
What the world is experiencing is a continual creative process. When we know what we don’t want, it helps us create what we do want. My mentor Susan Austin Crumpton always says, “Trust the chaos”!
Having said all that, the world is constantly going through some form of restructuring as it creates new ideas, inventions, processes, etc. It’s just now we hear about it more. The 24/7 news cycle spreads the most dramatic information instantly around the globe and that makes it seem like the world is in turmoil.
If we’d had today’s communication systems in place during the Ice Age, Crusades or Black Plague, we would’ve most likely felt the same discontent and fear.
So, do reiki on yourself and others and find an energy healer (like me) who makes you feel good. When we’re in alignment with our spirit, we feel good. Anything else is based in fear and unless it’s going to physically hurt or kill us within the next couple of minutes (Two-Minute Rule™), it’s an irrational and therefore false fear.
