Releasing Pain from Your EnergyBody

The Process of Releasing Pain from Your Energy Body

Today's topic is probably one of the more critically important topics

in my mind. This is in large part because most people have never

had a big release of pain from their energy. So they don't know what

that feels like. In a world that is increasingly focused on avoiding

uncomfortable things or only doing uncomfortable things with clearphysical world benefits, this is a brand new space. It's easy to

misinterpret things as going wrong when they may actually be

healing.

In these interests, I'm going to share with you my experiences with

releasing pain from my energy body and what I've learned from

these many experiences. Hopefully, you can better understand your

own energy and your own healing and/or awakening process.

The Big Bang Comes and Goes: Embodiment and HealingAccelerate

If you've had a bigspiritual awakening, you probably got to surf onthese waves of bliss or profound inner stillness. Everyone has

slightly different qualities to their awakenings, but generally

speaking, it feels good. It's like getting your first full cup of pure

water after being in the desert. However, your capacity to drink and

hold this water of life is very limited. You have no practice in

holding it in your space. So when the gallon jug of water comes

next, you don't think you can drink another drop. You feel filled to

your bursting limit, and burst you will.

Breaking Down of the Ego and Pain Structures

A lot of our lives are full of these "pain structures." These are the

relationships, jobs, tasks, and patterns that only serve to keep pain

in our lives. Probably an easy one to identify with is co-dependence.

This can keep an individual chained to an unhealthy and/or

abusive relationship because the individual doesn't think s/he can

make it on their own. With an awakening, that belief is being

dissolved or may be completely destroyed. It's different for everyone.

But now the individual has to learn how to live in a healthy

relationship. The individual has to learn how to be with healthy (or

at least healthier) people. This often brings aboutwaves of new

individuals through the person's lifeas the individual embodies

more of the awakening, i..e. as the person is more able to live from

this space of awakening on a daily basis. One wave of people will

come; you'll learn the lessons; and then they'll leave. Then the next

group of people will come. It will take a lot of focused dedication,

and the old ego pattern of holding onto relationships simply won't

work and may be intensely painful.

Because anywhere the old ego is still holding on, you're going to feel

suffering. The ego is perpetuating the split inside you that keeps

you disconnected from yourself and from God because in

awakening, the two are really the same. We are all part of God.. We

are all connected. The ego's story is always about "I" and being

"separate" from others. It's not that we don't make our own choices,

but we are so intensely interdependent that the story of

independence really becomes laughable. And sometimes,laughter

will be the best medicineeven if you are laughing painfully at

yourself.

Connecting, Healing, Releasing, and Expanding Further

With all that said, there is a tidal wave of energy that comes to you

in awakening. This tidal wave is you--the fullness of you. In many

ways, you are being overwhelmed by you, but let's take it one smallstep at a time whenever possible. One of the first most important

steps is to tune into your needs, how your energy feels, and your

cycles for expansion. I've found that I go through cycles of

expansion and contraction, and while these cycles are tapering off

these days, for several years, there would be these times of

expansion in my awareness and opportunities and new

relationships. Then there would be contraction as relationships

completed, and I'd shrink down to the lowest energy level that Inaturally hold. This is a great gift, and it's something that I can't

emphasize enough. When you can't do much and nothing externally

is working, this is the time to see where you are still holding pain

and issues. These are where you core issues are still chaining you

to old unhealthy ways of living. What is it that you find here sitting

at the bottom of the well?

Then if you clear this intentionally with love and awareness, the

next expansion can be even fuller and wider. It will go until you get

pulled back into a contraction by the next set of chains that are still

latched on to you.

The Intensity Builds and Something Breaks Open

A lot of times for my students who aren't in this space, I talk about

letting the energy build up inside. This can make you feel like apressure cooker. For each person this is different. If you are used to

100 degrees, then 110 feels like a pressure cooker. If you are used

to 150 degrees, then 110 doesn't feel like much of anything. Each

level of healing and release takes different pressure.


5/13

For instance, you may know how to let go of relationships, so that

may be easier for you than another person. So the next level of

pressure will require you to let go of relationships, a job, and a

living space all at once. Those reflections in the external world

during this specific time frame are often reflections of the innerchanges going on. And you will also have to stayed tuned into what

you need to do in terms of self-care beyond these outer world

changes. Inner healing often takes a lot of intensity because we are

so used to living in fear and anger and hurt. The intensity is also all

the resistance we have to the change, flow, and life that is now

moving in us. Consider this like a river hitting a huge dam. It can

take a lot of water and pressure to break the dam open--to break

you open.

Re-Meeting Old Issues and Finding New Ones

I've always found that each succeeding issue felt brand new to me.

It got frustrating to the ego parts of me. Sometimes I was healing an

issue on a deeper level, which I'd thought I'd already released.Sometimes it was a brand new issue--something that I didn't even

know I had lurking in the basement of my energy body. So after

having cleaned out something else, you may hope that the deep

cleaning cycles are done...Nope. Still more to go.

And when something breaks open, a lot may go through you. You

may feel an energy release, which can feel like a tingling, hot, buzz

rippling through your body. You may feel lots of the pent up

emotions releasing. You may start crying...A LOT. In these

moments, you are releasing the pain of this issue or old karma. If itis really intense, you may need some energy support from

something such as sound healing (which you can find on YouTube)

or even a close spiritual friend of teacher. Most times, rest,

meditation, visualized energy clearing (which is easy to learn), and

drinking LOTS of water helps you to clear out what you just broke

open. Some people can get sick or very physically ill. And while

I ALWAYSencourage you to check in with doctors for physical

illnesses, when it's a spiritual healing in progress, they usuallywon't find anything wrong with you. You'll just get sent home to

rest until it clears.

The Resulting Expansion from Released Pain

Here's a big sign that you are going through a spiritual process;

when the pain/sickness clears, you feel amazing. I've seen it

happen in my students. It's awesome. Their whole energy can shift

if it's something really big that just cleared. They report feeling more

open, more alive, and more like themselves than they've ever felt

before. These are key indicators that you have released an energy

blockage of some kind. I know that not everyone's process is the

same, but I like to highlight this point. Because if you are just

getting sick again after clearing the first thing, something else may

be going on. You may need more support, or you may be getting the

wrong support or be in an unhealthy environment.

Furthermore, don't rush into the next self improvement, mantra, or

kundalini yoga exercise after a big clearing. It's important for you to

settle into this new space and redefine yourself. Get used to your

energy and potentially new sensitivities you may now have. If you

are in awakening, you can offer the intention to this highly


8/13

intelligent life force, that you need a pause. I've always found that

my energy could give me a few more days of rest before the next

wave shakes everything up again and on yet a deeper level.

Then the Next Wave of Awakened Energy Descends

For many of you in awakening, the next wave still may come

quickly. That's also because you now have more space for more of

you after you've cleared out some of the old karmic trash. So the

energy comes to fill up and expand these spaces. In so doing, you

get pushed to your next level of edges, issues, and karma. This

energy starts to increase the pressure on those aspects of you, andyou may now be drawn to new teachers, paths, friends, and ideas to

find the tools that you need to deal with this new level of you.

Consequently, the cycle I've just outlined begins anew.

For the old ego, this can get demoralizing, which is why letting go of

the remaining parts of the ego become so critical. At each level of

healing, we need to let go of ideas about the process further. So you

need to continue to tune into your inner knowing/intuition. It'sabsolutely critical to determining what you need most to assist this

amazing healing process.

A Quick Overview of the Healing Process As I've Seen It

Here's my attempt to boil down the process of releasing pain and

healing into a few quick bullets. Keep in mind that everyone's

process is different, and when the seas are really stormy, it's hardto get much of any bearings on the process. But here goes:

Expansion. You are venturing beyond your usual comfortzone. Life is filling you up.


10/13

The Turn. You hit an edge. You start to get pulled back. If youcan sense when this turn comes, it can help you to identifywhat the issue is that is chaining you and is about to behealed.

Contraction. Your energy disappears for all or most externalworld things. This is when doing anything in the worldperpetually blows up in your face. You feel like your body is apressure cooker. You may feel pressure or extreme discomforton parts of your body. It's time to self-nourish and self-care.

Dropping Into the Process. Grieving, sickness, or feeling allkinds of upset feelings (fear, anger, shame, etc.) arise. Gentle,loving awareness is needed to see what's going on as well as tohelp heal it. Find tools and support as appropriately.

Release. Depending on your process, the release can feel goodimmediately, or you may go further into grieving or potentiallyan illness (once again, please, please, PLEASE consult with adoctor for physical illnesses).

Clearing. You feel the pressure cooker let up. You feel moreflexible in your body, more open in your heart, more clear inyour mind, more clear in you energy and connections withothers, all of the above, or something else.

Next Expansion. You fill up with more of your light andexpand until you hit the next crop of issues and karma that

needs to be healed. The cycle renews.

A Journey Up a Mountain

My first experience with this type of energy clearing came on a hike

up a mountain about 5 years ago. It was such a brand new

experience at the time. I was really struggling on this hike and

drinking tons of water. I had a sense that something spiritual wasup, but I didn't really know what it was. As I mentioned earlier,

many people have no idea what it is like to clear an energy

blockage, and I was definitely in that group at least as far as my

experiences in this lifetime had taught me. I remember when the

hike turned into a climb through craggy, crumbling rock. I


11/13

remember the intense fear that rose up in my chest. It looked bad

to me. I was scared to go down. I was scared to go up. So I kept

going.

But one interesting thing I did was that I become extremely presentwhen I was climbing. I could find each hand-hold that I needed.

Then when I paused, I'd descend into the fear until I felt something

move. It was like this chunk of black stuff came up from the pit of

my stomach. As it rose, I suddenly realized I was going to cry. It was

so wild and way out of my experience. And it certainly was outside

my comfort zone considering all the social conditioning that goes on

about what it means to "act like a man." But it was unavoidable. So

I started crying and crying. I'd climb. And then I'd cry until Ireached the top.

My brother was there, so I collapsed into his supportive arms. I was

so raw and wiped out. It was intense. Yet, I got a glimpse

downwards into myself from that experience. I had no illusions that

I'd in any way transcended all my fear. Instead, I suddenly saw how

much fear there was inside of me, and while the hike back was way

easier having let go of this burden that I'd been carrying, I knewthere were more of these spiritual ordeals to come to heal my energy

so I could just be me.

The Long Look Down

The spiritual path is always taking us inward, and I encourage you

to look inward. Especially when one of these shifts is going on, it

can take a lot of love and courage to do so. But we've all beenlooking away from ourselves for too long. We've ignored our inner

space and ourselves to large extents. It's time to stop. It's time to

see what all we are carrying. Whether you are just starting, healing,

or awakening (which kinda combines healing and expansion

simultaneously), you can do this. Pain can be released, and as you


13/13

do, you will feel more amazing and open than ever before. You

finally get to feel like you.
