In the late 1990’s after 20 years climbing the corporate ladder I was facing my second redundancy. I was being spat out and felt I had nowhere else to go. I had trained and focussed on succeeding in the corporate world and now I was being told I was no longer wanted. And what was worst, I felt I had failed and could not understand how to go about doing it differently. This left me feeling awfully stuck with few if any options. A deep depressing feeling set in that I had no way of shifting. It was a sort of numbness and fog that left me with little or no way of navigating anymore.

I was offered standard support but no one could understand nor help sort out what was going on. The assessment I got was – “you are intelligent enough so we cannot understand what the problem is”. What I found difficult to understand was the harder I tried at work, the worse it got. I was becoming increasing ineffective and inefficient. I was reading and endeavouring to apply all the latest business techniques, but they just made it more complicated.

I was fit, playing team sport and mountain running. The trouble was, I was trying to run away from my issues.

Friends were supportive but also worried that I was being so useless. All I needed to do was pull myself together and get another job. The trouble was, I had no energy or self-belief to pull in another job. I got some consulting work but not enough to support us. The effect on the family was huge and I was fortunate to have a supportive partner and wife.

And so started a long, inefficient climb out of oblivion.

I was being challenged to evaluate everything I lived by. All my beliefs and principles I based my life on were being seriously challenged. I had no idea this was a key part of the process. I found a book by chance called ‘Conversations With God” by Neale Donald Walsch. It took me 9 months to read the first book. I could only read a couple of pages at a time as it was so challenging, turning everything upside down. I distinctly remember the piece from page 44 “If you don’t go within, you go without”. It took me a long to appreciate the significance of this.

And so I embarked a series of disjointed workshops and processes to address the feeling of being stuck, depressed and numb. I tried everything from Reiki, rebirthing, deep tissue massage to weekend courses involving meditation.

I started to go through some major energy shifts that were very scary at about this point. I would have huge surges in energy that sweep through my body and induced a sense of panic, as I had no idea of what was occurring and no one could explain them. The people I was doing the processes with were meant to be the gurus and they had no idea of what was occurring, so this just made it scarier. There was one memorable occasion at breakfast time when the energy built to the point I had to get outside. So I ended up staggering around the back lawn holding my head and clutching the clothesline pole to stay upright. I remember thinking “I hope the neighbours cannot see this or someone will ring for the guys in white coats!” It was pretty alarming for my family. I felt like I was losing my mind and I was. I had get out of my mind and start to get into my feelings.

I had trained for so long about dealing in facts, setting goals and objectives, with no connection to my feelings. I had gotten seriously out of balance.

Some years earlier my father had died of a heart attack aged 51 and I vowed I would do it differently. I had no idea what this clear intention would line up for me. Then my younger brother died in a plane crash and I had to bring him home after trying to identify what was left of him. I distinctly remember presenting board papers to my directors shortly after and struggling to take it seriously. And so my priorities were seriously challenged but I soldiered on as I felt I had no option. We moved to the Middle East for 6 years. I got the chance to get to know people from many different cultures and they shared their values and beliefs. It struck me that there were about 5 common ideas shared by all the religions, but everyone thought theirs was different and the best. Being a marketing person, I took the view that religion was the first branding marketing exercise and it was all about market share.  It was about 10 years after this that it all came to a grinding halt.

The problem was this – because I shut down to my feelings, the nudgings I was getting to change were ignored or went unnoticed. And so it took getting seriously stuck and redundancy to get my attention. A bit like a sledge hammer blow because I had ignored the taps on the shoulder. And then the shift required was a big one, as against smaller gradual steps. I realised that I had been given a choice at each critical point.

So I went through a series of major energy reactivations. The physical effect of these were massive. Basically every cell in my body went through a huge energetic shift, releasing long held negative energy and an influx of positive energy. The surges of energy through the legs, spine and head were major and very disconcerting for a start.

About this time I came across the channelled writings from Ronna Herman in the USA. She was bringing through the teachings of Archangel Michael. I had no idea who this was, but what was being talked about explained what I was going through. It was the first time there was an explanation of what was occurring. I have now followed these monthly newsletters since 1999.

What I came to understand is that there is an energy stream that underpins all life and we are a unique individual expression of this stream. If we hold ideas that are unlike this amazing energy stream, then we block it and we feel awful. If we let it flow, we feel wonderful.

Let me share an experience I have not talked about previously. As part of developing my ability to unblock my energy stream and be able to more comfortably hold the increased flow, I was having regular cranial sacral sessions. In this one session a major block appeared and I was asked by the practioner if I wanted to shift it, which I was keen to do. I was then aware of being  in a prison cell with only a small window.  And then the walls changed to steel bars. I could look out on people quietly going about their business. They were aware of me but I got the clear sense that they had no judgement of me – if I chose to be in prison, so be it. At this point the cranial sacral practioner asked who I wanted to support me in making a shift. So I asked for a team of non-physical beings I was aware of to come and support me (my father and brother being part of this). They were there in an instant. And then the most stunning thing occurred – the prison bars turned to beams of light. It occurred me that none of them were solid and so I could simply walk out, which I did to the cheering of my support team. At that moment I was aware of the most amazing energy flowing in from the far horizon, made up of every colour you could imagine, but mainly pink, yellow, gold and violet colours. It flowed into and out of everyone, connecting everyone and yet I could distinctly see everyone. And then it flow out to the other horizon and was one continuous flowing movement of colour. It was the most stunning sight to behold.

It was some time later when reading some of AA Michael’s messages that I realised I had seen the energy stream he was talking about. It is truly stunning. And so we are all connected to this pure positive creative energy source or stream. And each of us is a unique individual expression. As Neale Donald Walsch put it, we are a

Singular

Outflow, of

Universal

Life-force

We are a S.O.U.L.

This energy stream is increasing in strength as we are in the midst of the most amazing process called the Ascension. This is a promise that has been talked about in most religions and ancient teachings and it brings great opportunities plus responsibilities for all of us. It is also having a huge physical, mental and emotional effect on each of us and this planet called earth.

As this stream is pure positive creative energy, if we are holding energy that is unlike it (negative energy in the form of ideas, beliefs and thoughts), then the negative stuff is going to flushed up for us to deal with. Some people are going to deal with this better than others. Some people are going to have more to deal with than others. Nevertheless, the opportunity to become self-empowered and develop the ability to consciously use this energy to create positive results faster and more easily is available. There will be those that choose not to awaken to this opportunity and that is okay. They will the chance to do this elsewhere.

Many of us are seriously struggling to cope with this change, especially the mental and emotional aspects. Just have a look at the statics regarding ‘mental’ and ‘emotional’ issues, for example anger, depression, chronic fatigue, panic attack. I know what this feels like. I also know that it is a major opportunity for us to awaken to our true potential. This takes the ability to reawaken their ability to feel and allow this energy to flow in their life. It is energy- in-motion or e-motion.

The issue for many of us is that we got shut down early in our lives. For me, I watched a working dog get pitched off a 100 foot cliff for making my father very angry. For a 4 year old this was pretty traumatic and exacerbated by being left to run home from the back of the farm and not talked about. The impacted energy imprint was ‘anger is dangerous’ and to be avoided at all costs as someone will get hurt or worse. This was to have a debilitating effect in my adult life until sorted out.

Until we are able to comfortably manage any emotion we get stuck and remain depressed. One person who gave the greatest example of the ability to transform any emotion was Jesus Christ. He anchored this energy here for all of us so we could develop the same abilities as he gained. This was his gift and allowed the miracles to come through. Whether you believe it or not, we each have the same ability but most of us have not developed this.

Men are being challenged to develop their ability to manage emotion. This is not often welcomed by many nor is it well understood. As yet we have not developed many programmes to assist men to do this. In contrast women have needed to develop the ability to set goals and go after what they want. This is well understood, with plenty of written material and programmes to assist this. And so we need to understand more around this process of re-activating and positively using our emotional guidance system.

One of the best explanations of this process is given by Esther and Jerry Hicks with Abraham in their book called ‘The Astonishing Power Emotions’. It is all about the emotional scale of vibration we hold as thought or beliefs. As I was retraining as a life coach I was putting together diagrams to help me to understand this material. At the same time we were receiving tapes from Abraham’s weekly workshops. I found that Abraham started talking about the same stuff I was drawing diagrams of. I have blended this with AA Michael’s teachings (with the blessing of Ronna).

I believe we will come to understand that many of the mental illnesses are about developing our ability to successfully manage the emotional scale, transforming negative emotion into the positive in manageable steps.

For example, a couple of clients I have worked with disclosed they suffered from bipolar as we progressed through the programme. I came to appreciate they needed to understand how to step through the emotional scale in manageable steps, as against flicking from depression to euphoria and back. They learnt to do this and take control back over their life and then slowly eliminate the need for drugs. It was important to do the emotional or energy work first and then make the physical changes as the body was ready and able to change. The physical changes are always the slowest.

Depression for me was the same. I needed to find the anger I had turned inwards and learn how to allow it to safely flow in my life. Without this ability I avoided anger and hence stayed stuck underneath it. The positive energy of anger is a wonderful thing – it allows you to say ‘Stuff this. I am going to do something about this’ and allow positive solutions to flow on through. Once I had this sorted, nothing was a major problem as I could always find a way through. It might take me a while, but I would get there and the outcome was always much better, so worth waiting for.

We are all being asked to find this ability to consciously use the energy-in-motion (emotion) and focus it in positive ways that are in our greatest individual interest and best for others. We must make it work for ourselves first and then use it for the benefit of all. The quality of this energy demands integrity and positive use for all. Many corporate’s and large organisations are going to need to understand this if they want good outcomes. The old ways of power, control and dominance will not work well from here on. There is a better way.

Of interest is the need for our younger generation to factor in others. They have been brought up to think of themselves to the exclusion of others and this won’t work either. Their learning is based around being integral and inclusive of others.

For us older generations we were brought up to put others first and leave ourselves second. Once again, unless you align with your unique energy stream first, you will be an ineffective creator. This requires each of us to be able to sense how our stream is flowing and then use this positively.

And so, we stand at the cusp of the greatest change this earth has known. We are part of an amazing process called the Ascension. It is time to awaken to our true power and abilities. We are creators and we were meant to remember this. We were meant to become Conscious Co-Creators with this amazingly powerful , intelligent, pure positive energy stream.

Quantum physics has proven its existence. The algorithms have been written. We just need to become conscious of how it feels and operates in our daily lives. It is real, tangible and available to each and every one of us.

May you find your way out of any dark and lonely space you may find yourself stuck in and come back into your personal power, well-being, joy and ease.

I wish you well my fellow travellers.
