RE: PROTECTION AGAINST DIRECTED ENERGIES
   (Contributed by Rita from some Reiki list email discussion)


So, now we've drawn someone who actually, albeit destructively, "plays" with energy to explore power and control. For me, the questions now are:

	1. How can we work together in the OHC to help this person and others grow through this phase and into a healthier sense of their own true power (power in Be-ing, rather than "power over")?
	2. How can we work together in the OHC to help each other, individually and collectively, realize and anticipate our own power, so that we are not vulnerable to harm from
anyone seeking "power over," no matter how or where they are striving for it?
	3. How can we learn to see this "power over" behavior as an unlearnable perspective / behavior, rather than as a frightening threat to be judged and condemned? Is it possible to learn this? How will this possibility vary from person to person?

Does anyone have any comments? Any further questions?

I'm thinking of calling a meeting to discuss this specific issue, since the group energy now is, apparently, large enough now to draw forms of pain that we don't commonly encounter in our day-to-day activities. As always, I am striving to make OHC a safe place for All; in order to do so, I need to know what you need. Tell me what you need.

Now, this problem can be frightening until we remember that we already have all the power that we need. In being vulnerable to an energetic attack, we are simply forgetting the power that we already have. I encourage you to use the following technique, or anything similar that you feel comfortable with, in order to protect yourself, AT ALL TIMES, from any kind of energy attack; you will be barriering yourself against harm, but allowing Love in ("selective permeability"). This technique works very well, regardless of the situation, whether you are in your home, in an online room, on the road, walking down the street, sleeping, at a doctor's office, etc. And, I send my deepest appreciation to Rita Gold, a recorder of this commonly-practiced technique, who has given me permission to share her words with all interested parties.

Please know that you have my love; you are strong and capable-enough just as you are. This is an opportunity; fear is not needed. You can be safe and well.

Much Love,
Mia (OHCMiaLght@aol.com)

~~~~ From Rita Gold:

Here is a description of the way that Lyra and I produce a barrier or shield:

First, visualize yourself as surrounded by the universal life force (white light), which indeed you are. Open up your crown chakra (the top of your head) and pull in the light, starting from about 3 feet above your head, down through your spine and all the way to your heart-like a pole of light from above your head to your heart. From your heart, radiate the light outward until it flows through your arms, your hands, your legs, and toes, and every part of your body.

Then continue to radiate the energy outward until it starts to come out of your pores, out of your breath as you exhale. Let the light form a large egg shape around you, including the area below your feet. The light may change colors from white to a beautiful blue.... Visualize it. When the "egg" is complete and full of light, seal it off with gold, the color of protection. (Thence my name... Rita "Gold"... : > ). Layer the gold as much as is needed.

*This* constitutes a basic barrier. While I've walked you through it one step at a time, it can be done in an instant with practice. You may not "see" the light unless you're familiar with that kind of sensing. That's okay. Just visualize it and create it being there.

The same principle can be applied to barriering a room, a house, or any space [or person, event, Being, etc - Mia] you desire. Just keep radiating the energy outward. Every night before I go to sleep, and every time before I do "light work", I barrier myself and the space I'm in. We create the barrier such that light can come in, but nothing of the dark.

When necessary, we add more bells and whistles. You can add bodily sensations to the barrier so that those who try to trespass it will become uncomfortable and turn away. You can add a "mirror", so that anyone who sends energy to you gets it back 3-fold (or more, you determine).

You can post sentries or guards when necessary.... use the ones that you normally have for protection on a regular basis. (If you don't know who they are, don't worry... they do. Just ask them to be there.) When you need to call in the big cahunas, request their presence for limited special times (not to follow you around as you're doing your daily chores...LOL). There are some powerful light beings there to assist people of the light. Be respectful of their energy but don't worry... it's part of their job.

Barriering does not separate you from that which is of light. Barrier yourself every day and you won't be open to every little negative energy that comes your way. Not to mention when big negative energies come your way.

Love and light, Rita

		Professional Bio


          I began my studies in multi-level self-healing when in the service, in Thailand in the Winter of '73. The focus then was on self-help psychology, consciousness, and eastern and western mystical perspectives. This continued through my university studies in Norman, OK '74-'79. 1980 took me into naturopathic studies, primarily nutrition and herbology when I lived in Oklahoma City. Not seeing the naturopathic doctor route as affordable at the time, I found direction via a five-evening massage course, Fall '83. That led to a six month professional practice, followed up with the training in Sante Fe, NM, '84-'85 (described in the next paragraph).
        Since then I have practiced massage and/or healing facilitation for others, initially in Santa Fe, NM (during/after my training), then San Louis Obispo, CA, and Seattle, WA. This includes exploring personal challenges and self-healing methodology. A session may include various energy work modalities, Body/Energy-Awareness based Preventative Health Maintenance Instruction, or only Reiki or relaxation work in total silence. A client chooses based on whatever stress, pain, or concerns are present at that session. A client may request a "Body Pattern Reading," as well as various massage/bodywork therapies, all of which techniques are listed & described in my brochure. Individual, program, and 3-6 week interval-based rates are available.
        My interests have primarily centered in three areas:
        1) Body-Centered Psycho-Spiritual Process (as in "Hakomi" style of) counseling and bodywork, including as assessing an individual for the most efficient means of addressing connective tissue injury, short and long term, and the most efficient application of the results of that assessment (on physical and/or emotional levels);
        2) in The Basic How's And Why's Of Psycho-Emotional Storage In The Body-Mind, and in the related fascia memory storage dynamics - referring to the technical aspects of neuro-physical interface between connective tissue, emotion, and the brain);
        3) "Chalice-Bridging" style chakra balancing - based in the perspective that the chalice, far more than just a cup in this interpretation, is about the human embodiment of Spirit into the three "lower bodies" (mental, emotional, and physical) which compose the "Body-Mind". Which is also a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally.

        My training includes over 1370 hours of classes and practicum, including with the New Mexico Academy of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in Santa Fe, NM (1984-85), and with various accredited bodywork and therapy workshops (`86-present), as well as 100 hours training with the Alchemical Hypnotherapy Institute (1989), over 100+ hrs apprenticeship with healing practitioner Robert "Mitra" (`85-`86), and 150 hours apprenticeship with Silena Heron in Herbal Studies (`83-`84). For the detailed version my training, you may go to the latter half of my Reiki Therapy Practice Brochure. Which also includes (and relates context for) links to essays elaborating on aspects of imbalance and injury, assessment, and healing.

		Some Body-Mind Quotes From Chris 


BODY-MIND AWARENESS, at the core of preventive health awareness, is one of the most simple, efficacious, & cost-effective forms of HEALTH INSURANCE there can be. Hence, massage is far from just "a luxury item," and bodywork therapies can be indispensable for the healing of certain conditions.

MUSCLES RELATE TO ATTACHMENTS - to what we use to take our stance, to hold our place, to perceive and respond to our environment, and to extend who we are and/or want to be. Or used to be (in too many cases, perhaps). That speaks not only to the body's condition and function, but to how it communicates awareness of where one is along one's path (of becoming who one truly is).

THE BODY IS . . . among other amazing things, a unique communications system --intimately linked with one's TOTALITY. Establishing rapport with one's body can be a PATH to self realization.

ONE OF MY DREAMS is a society where/in all children are taught how to feel/see/read their own body-mind communications such that preventive health maintenance eventually becomes second nature. And actually, for the most part, they would be encouraged to re-awaken and build upon what I believe to be a NATURAL INCLINATION - conscious self-healing and continuous expansion of awareness.
