Tracy from Boston, MA, asked:
Hi Julie,
I heard you on the A Psychic’s Story podcast.
I work in the medical field in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with premature babies and I have been having a difficult time taking on other people’s energy in the hospital.
It’s been very hard for me lately and I was wondering if you have any insights that can help me to do my work.
Thanks,
Tracy
Hi Tracy,
Thanks for your dedication in caring for some of the most vulnerable babies on the planet.
I’m familiar with the work you and your colleagues do in the NICU because I was involved with the design of the first meconium aspirator back in the 1980’s.
Because of its specialized environment, being in the NICU is bound to be overwhelmingly stressful and at the same time, affords you the opportunity to learn something new each day and most importantly, save lives.
Having said all that, here are a few suggestions that might help:
1) Be sure to ground yourself. The electrical devices being used in the NICU emit a lot of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that can affect your body and mental health. Although grounding products are available, something as simple as standing barefoot in grass, on cement, or sand for about five minutes will ground your body. (You might want to stand on a cement basement floor in the winter.)
2) Disconnect when you leave work. When we interact with another person, our spirit connects with theirs through energetic cords called bioplasmic streamers. (You may have heard someone talk about “cutting the cord”. That’s where the saying originated.) It’s important to remove the energetic cords from your patients and their families when you’re done with your shift. To do that, just imagine pulling a thin cord from your solar plexus. Once it’s removed from your body, it’ll disintegrate and you won’t be energetically connected any longer. You’ll find this technique will help you feel more energetic.
3) Read my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. In it, you’ll learn how everyone (even preemies) is surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones as we’re dying. Since you’ve undoubtedly cared for a baby who didn’t make it, this knowledge will help you perceive the infant’s passing from a perspective that will add a glorious component to a heart-wrenching situation. This will, in turn, help you care for your patient and their family when the unthinkable occurs.
I hope you find these tips useful.
Thanks again for the work you do. You are an earth angel!
