Emotional Freedom through the Understanding of Energy

We use language without paying close attention to what we are saying, and without understanding why this particular this particular phrase or word came about. It isn’t by random chance that this language, English, or any language for that matter, came about. Let me, though, confine myself to English, a language that I am well conversant with.

Language began at a time when we didn’t know words. It didn’t begin with words; it began at a time when we didn’t know words. It began when we communicated with thought. How does one communicate with thought? Simple! I transmit my energy to you; you read that energy and you transmit your energy to me, which I read.

When I say that I am ‘energy intuitive’, many people ask me what that means. It’s simple! I can read energy the way I read a book. I can hear energy the way I hear words. I can smell energy the way I’d smell a cake baking in the oven. I can taste energy the way I would enjoy a ton of ice cream. Am I the only one who can do it? Obviously not! If I was the only one who could do it, language would still not have been developed.

Language was developed when everyone did this. It was done as casually and as matter-of-factly as I’m standing here and talking in the English language with you, which you are understanding. You don’t think there is anything unique about my speaking English, do you? Neither do you think there is anything awe-inspiring that you are sitting there and understanding my language. And yet, people look at me awestruck when they sit before me and I read their thoughts and feelings, situations they have gone through, what work they’re doing. Why the surprise? I’m not predicting. I can’t. I’m not a fortune teller. I’m only reading what you, your energy, is telling me to read. Everyone on Earth, at a certain point of time, did it.

And that was real language…. and then came words. The irony is that with the advent of words, language died. Language is about energy. It’s not about grammar and sentence construction and using the right word at the right time. It’s about energy. You and I are energy beings, as are all on earth. We all know that energy and matter are interchangeable, so how can you not be an energy intuitive, just as I am?

Energy can only convey the truth; words are very often deceptive. Haven’t you sometimes noticed someone saying the most harmless sounding words but that person is bitching the hell out of you? How did you know that because if it was about words they sounded innocent? How did you know that? Because you still know language. You are an energy intuitive, but you just don’t know that, consciously. It’s just that you are so used to words that if you were to sit in silence and read the energy in silence, that would bother you. But if there is a chatter of words that you are comfortable with, you could sit back and unconsciously, without any effort, read the energy and know what someone is saying and that energy would transmit to the other. So then there are two conversations taking place; the more real one is the silent one. You’d go home and would not be able to remember the conversation but would be able to tell your children or your husband exactly what you picked up without words.

Let’s look at how words developed from language because what we did, as a human race, is we took those energies as we understood them, and we gave them words.

Let’s start with some phrases: A cold hand clutching at my heart. Have any of us ever had that as a physical experience? I would be horrified if I did. So what is this cold hand? Obviously when fear surrounded the being, the temperature of the body begins to drop. Why? So that the reactivity levels automatically go down. It is the most wonderful, natural response that you body can give to what it perceives as a threat, so that it can shut itself down, very quickly, if fear moves into panic, and you need to pass out in unconsciousness. What is unconsciousness? It is the body shutting itself down so that it is not attacked by that energy anymore. So it starts slowing down already, in preparation for that moment, if it should come. That is the cold hand, because the heart now begins to experience a fear, and begins to respond to that fear so that it can protect the body from more harm than it needs to go through. That’s: the cold hand clutching at my heart.

A sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach: it literally feels like something has dropped. You know nothing has, but it feels that way. What is the energy that is there in the pit of your stomach? It’s your inner child. What is the inner child? The inner child is the energy that is formed by the time you are 6 years old. It starts forming when you are in the womb. This energy structure defines who you are and will be for the rest of your life. Parents who have children below the age of 6 must keep this in mind. There is not a word, a thought, an action, a look, a tone that is ever forgotten, because it is all stored in this energy space, which lies in the hara chakra: pit of my stomach.

What happens to the hara chakra? When it feels any kind of attack, the inner child is activated by memory. So let’s assume someone tells me my daughter is lost and I say there is a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that something bad is going to happen. Why? May be the inner child remembers, even though my intellectual memory may not remember, a stray conversation I might have heard when I may have been 1 year old, when a neighbor’s child was lost in a mela and the mother was frantic with worry and fear and when they found the child after some days, the child was not unharmed. Someone may ask how this memory of so far back is remembered. Though there may no intellectual memory, the inner child remembers everything. It has made that association and the hara chakra moves into a state of complete imbalance which feels as though it is not in its right place. Your chakras can move. They can get pulled in different directions by the energies that are attacking you, by the inner and external threat.

Then we have the term yellow-livered. Everyone knows that’s a coward, a person who functions out of fear. So how did we get ‘yellow-livered’ as a phrase? When there is acute fear in the system, there is a production of excess bile, which is yellow. What does the bile do? It creates a hugely acidic reaction in your body, which then welcomes all kinds of dis-ease. So you’re yellow-livered because you are constantly functioning out of fear and your body is constantly producing bile, making your inner environment acidic whereas it should be alkaline.

Then there’s the term ‘without a backbone’. Unless you’re badly physically challenged you know that’s not possible, and yet we say: he is completely without a backbone. So what does this energy of fear, this energy of reaction of submission, of timidity have do to the backbone? Our chakric system has 2 openings: one in the front and one at the back. Please remember: your chakric system is not in your physical body but in your etheric body. It’s the 2nd layer, very close to your physical body and takes the same structure and shape as your physical body. When there is the threat of power or control, what happens to the chakric system? The chakras, in order to protect the person from the attack, start creating an energy ring around themselves, which is like a cocoon. With this cocoon in place the chakric system cannot expand any more; it stays constricted and contracted. This is done to protect the body but ironically, though it is supposed to protect you, which it does, it also creates a problem because the prana cannot enter the chakric system with as much fluidity or as voluminously as it should. There is a very thin trickle of prana. The physical body needs food and water, but we, as energy beings, also need prana to live. Try eating only 3 morsels of food a day for 10 days. What will happen to your physical body? It will collapse. That is how much prana comes in to your etheric and energetic bodies. There is a feeling of energy weakness, if there is only a thin trickle of prana. When there is weakness you are unable to stand and the backbone is what helps you to stand straight.

Now what about the term ‘week-kneed’? You fear you may not be able to support your family because you have lost your job. You fear the bank may foreclose the mortgage on you because you are not earning enough to pay off the installments on your house loans. These are examples of material insecurity. Then you fear that your children may turn against you because you are an ineffectual father and you can’t even provide for them. Thus along with material insecurity there arises emotional insecurity. When these insecurities enter the system, the chakras close down because they perceive a threat. Fear, insecurity, anxiety, worry, resentment, rage, and so on, are inner threats from which the chakric system protects itself by constricting to the most that it can. This is what makes you weak-kneed. When you’re healing yourself touch your knees. We store all these toxins in our knees. Is it surprising then that as we grow older we have problems with our knees.
And how did the term ‘pot-bellied’ come about? What is a pot? It’s something to put things in. Our abdominal area keeps safe most of our vital organs. Anger, envy, resentment, fear, panic, grief, unhappiness, sorrow, disappointment, disillusion… all is stored in our organs. Organ clearance therapy is a huge part of my work because unless this energy is removed from the organs, you cannot have good health. Your organs are like the control system of your body and if those switches are not working, nothing else works. To protect the organs from these toxins, the belly creates a ‘pot’ so that the energy will be stored in the pot and overwhelm your organs. Again, it’s your body’s way of protecting you.

And all of us have heard of the term ‘taut nerves’. Have you ever noticed that though you may feel you’re sitting still, you’re almost always fidgeting or twitching? These various tics that you are unaware of, are the body’s way of releasing the tightness in your nerves. Let us understand what nerves are. They are the mirror reflection of your energy meridians. You are healthy or unhealthy because of the meridians in your etheric and your energetic bodies, not because of your physical body,. When the meridians start getting blocked, in order to allow greater flow of prana, they start stretching themselves. If your meridians are stretched and taut, so are your nerves. You can’t live with such taut nerves and so your body then begins its own process of releasing the tautness through the tics. By looking at a person’s body you can tell which meridians are blocked, and know whether the stress is inner or outer. That is reading energy.

During the demonstration of EFT we noticed that there was a marked change in the constriction in our breathing. Why and how did this happen?

The affirmation was ‘even though I have constricted breathing……’. What was this? Acceptance of a flaw. We are moving towards I’m Perfection and you can only move towards this when you accept the imperfection. So all you were doing was accepting something and not suppressing or denying it. You have to accept that you are a spiritual divine human being. Remember: I AM God. But also remember that I AM the most perfectly flawed God that there could be in this universe and I honor myself completely for it, for if it were not for my flaws, I wouldn’t be where I am today and I would not be where I will be 10 years from now.

Emotional distress begins with that one aspect: non-acceptance of who you are. Who are you trying to impress? Who are you trying to show that you are this holy cow? Someone will sacrifice you one day. (Laughter) You can fool people some of the time but soon they will read you like an open book, because as I said earlier everyone is energy intuitive. So the only person who is in denial is yourself. All my dearest friends know my greatest flaws and my greatest weaknesses, and they are my staunchest friends. Why do they not judge me for my flaws? Simple! It’s because I don’t judge me for my flaws. What is the big deal about being flawed? If you want to judge, judge. If you want to scream, scream. If you want to abuse, abuse. Don’t try and put a veil between you and your emotions. The more you deny the emotion of the moment, the more vociferously it will come to the fore the next time. The key to mastering your emotions is not to deny or suppress them, but to acknowledge and understand them. Whatever your worst flaw may be, accept it, surrender to it, finish it in that moment. Once it’s out there, there is no energy block in here.

With that comes no resistance. Energy faces no resistance in its flow. It’s smooth, it’s easy and you are in health. Resistance leads to resonance. We are all seeking to increase our vibrations. What does that mean? Increasing your vibrations means allowing energy to flow at the pace it can flow, in a completely healthy environment. When the energies are flowing at the optimum speed of vibration that they are meant to, they emit a sound, which is a sacred sound, entirely your own. Everyone has a sacred sound and if your sacred sound is taped (which scientists are doing now) and played back to you, you can be completely healed. That is resonance. But that sacred sound cannot be heard unless the energies are flowing at the optimum level, without any resistance in the flow. With that, your chakric system has no binds around it; you’re open, you’re emitting, you’re radiating, you’re taking in whatever there is. There is freedom from emotion and there is liberation of spirit. That, my friends, is emotional freedom.

If you wish to, contemplate upon this question. What are the various things you do to ‘fool’ people? Maybe you say something or you dress in a certain way or you talk in a way you want someone else to believe something of you. You will be astonished to find the number of masks you wear. Why are you wearing those masks? Because you don’t want to accept yourself and you are so scared that someone else will read you better than you wish them to.

Now let us discuss the various points which we tapped during the EFT demonstration. Around the eyes: we are opening our vision to acceptance that all and everything is God; that there is only Divine Order and that there is only Divine Beauty and that there is only Divine Perfection. To be aware of this when there is chaos around you, you need vision. Your vision makes you see that there is not a single human being ever born evil. Circumstances may hide him from his Godhood. But that does not make him worthy of contempt; that makes him deserving of divine help and healing. To be hidden from your Godhood is the worst affliction anyone can suffer from.

Always pay attention to the tip of your nose. Why? The moment your breath changes, you have touched a belief system, you have touched an emotion that has been denied or suppressed or locked up. That is what your nose is all about: what do you believe in? Pay the closest attention to your breathing, and you will be able to identify when a blocked energy is causing constriction. Blocked energies are caused by emotions and emotions arise from your beliefs.

Chin and mouth area: what is our speech like? Not only the words, but the tone. Have you noticed how many times in a day you speak shrilly or without control? Do you pay attention to the tone in your voice? Do you know that a 1 year old child, who does not understand your language, understands your tone? You can tell the child you love him, but the child’s inner child has already picked up lack of nurturing, if the words are spoken without genuine feeling.

Breast and throat are both related to the higher heart. When you’re in fear or disequilibrium, tap your higher heart (centre of your breast bone in line with the top of your breasts) for some minutes. This activates the thymus gland. The thymus gland opens directly to the Divine Mind, through the meridians. So when you tap your higher heart, it connects you to Divine Mind, and Divine Wisdom comes to you, making you understand the situation rather than get entangled in it.

The back of the neck is our door to the universe. There are some who believe that this is in front, at the place of the third eye. But the real door is at the back, the nape of your neck. That is why stress and exhaustion causes what we call a ‘stiff neck’. When you are unbending and not ready to see the universal truth, but cling to the pettiness of your personal truth.

Friends, this is how you heal yourselves: by understanding energy; that is what healing is about. When someone comes for healing envelope them in love. As soon as there is love, the body starts healing itself. No one can heal another. No one! A healer is one who facilitates the healing of another through the powers of the ‘healee’ powers, not the powers of the healer. In doing so, the healer give the other the freedom to experience what he needs to experience, and gives him the freedom to say ‘Good-bye’ when he needs to let go.

A very simple healing exercise was revealed to me this morning. It’s all about ‘healing hands’.

First, rub your hands together, very gently and lovingly. These are not just some appendages; they are your hands. They can caress, they can heal, and they can also slap and hurt. If your hands are loved, they will never want to hurt another. Make them feel loved.

Rub the thumb of your right hand along the inside of the small finger of your left hand, going right down to your palm. Pay attention to your breathing. If your breathing changes, even marginally, you have a meridian that is blocked. Fill that meridian with love. Breathe love into that meridian, if you find that your breathing has changed. Do this till the breathing eases.

Now let your thumb rub the front of your small finger as well as the outer part of your palm. Pay attention to your breath. You have to be very aware of your breath. Initially this might be difficult; but as you do it again and again, your breath guide you easily to find out if you’re in harmony or not. As soon as your breath shifts, instantly infuse the meridians with love.

You will do the same to all fingers, moving to the ring finger, back and front; the middle finger, back and front; the index finger, back and front; thumb, back and front. Please remember to include the full palm as well. Then you will do the same to the right hand, using the thumb of your left hand.

The first few times you do this, don’t try to isolate or identify any emotion. Once you are in sync with your breathing, you are ready to move to the next stage: identifying what is blocking the meridian. Remember: your body already knows. When you are doing the healing and infusing meridians with love, gently ask: what emotion is blocking you? What threat are you perceiving? Who is the cause of this external threat? What is the cause of the internal threat? Pay attention to thoughts, words, sentences, images that come up for you. Don’t doubt them.

Write them down before you move to the next meridian. Now you can begin the process of healing the meridians. How will you do that? Continue the caress. Remember: no one and nothing can resist true love. Begin to study the emotion dispassionately. Let us assume the emotion is envy. Ask yourself, “Why am I envious?” And you might get an answer, “Because I don’t think I’m as good as her.” Why don’t you think you’re as good as her? “Because she seems to be connected with herself and I don’t know my own answers.’ Why are you not connected with yourself? “Because I’m very scared to unravel. I don’t know what I will find.” Allow the questions to flow and the answers to follow easily.

Because every single meridian ends in the inner child and every single meridian starts from the inner child, you will get an answer to every question. Sometimes, memories you had completely ‘forgotten’ about may come up. Don’t resist the process in any way.

That is how you work with your emotions: by (1) accepting them (2) surrendering to them (3) not putting up resistance by denial (4) working with them and (5) moving into full resonance.

Wishing you all complete liberation of spirit.

Thank you.
