Sharing is caring!

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Bliss Retreat as a presenter in Loveland, Colorado. It was the most eye awakening and yet miserable trip I have taken. Although my mind wanted to continue my spiritual journey and meet people, my body had it otherwise.

 

I shook off the first day with the “its just altitude sickness” however by day three, I was done as a chicken in the oven. I stayed in bed shivering, nauseous and feeling terrible.

 

The trip was from Friday to Sunday, but last minute plans to meet my mom, changed it to Monday. I was one of the presenters so I had to make sure I was on my game! Saturday blew me away to pieces. I arrived on Friday adjusting to the new climate, and meeting everyone. Got up at 4 am and arrived to my destination by 4pm in Colorado. I was already mighty tired. By the time I got to the hotel after the events, it was 1 am Saturday.

 

6am, I got up with bells and whistles and proceeded to get ready for my presentation at 9 am. 9-12 I presented but didn’t get out until 12:30 after I had conversation with a few people and tried to scarf down some lunch but couldn’t stomach to do so. 1pm I was back on at the psychic fair selling my cards until 3:30. I missed snack as I was on duty for card readings from 3:30 until 5pm. I got out at 6:15 and almost missed dinner too! Came back to watch another presentation and didn’t go to sleep until 2 am again. Then I left at 6 am to drive an hour to Boulder and meet my mom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was worn out and my body knew so! I had such a blast meeting my friends and the chance of a lifetime to be by their side. I wanted to keep on going as much as I could. But I knew that I had to complete a major test for school on Monday and get back in the grove by Tuesday as school started for the kids. In addition, I had a doctors appointment I have been waiting on edge for the results. As you can see, I have a lot going on. We call this stress.

 

As I laid in the hotel bed on Sunday, my body finally gave out. It kept screaming at me how exhausted it was. The shaking started and it wasn’t stopping. I felt entirely uncomfortable and when my mom placed her hands above me to send me reiki, I had enough. I was uncomfortable and wanted it to stop. I thought my body would just collapse any and all energy out. I got out of bed and fell to the floor, praying for everything I got. I was scared and alone and miles from home and feeling terrible. I placed my hands on the floor and started to pray. As I prayed, I decided to call back my energy.

 

From the north, I call back my energy. From the east, I call back my energy. From the south, I call back my energy. From the west, I call back my energy.

 

I closed my eyes and saw myself dancing in the woods around these beautiful rocks that were placed strategically around me. I had long black hair and a flowing nightgown. Who was this girl?  What this really me? I thought.

 

As soon as I said the words, my body stopped shaking 100%.

 

It instantly calmed down. I opened my eyes at the amazement of what just occurred.  I fully and completely came back to center. It was then I realized, I gave out all my energy to everyone that I had depleted my own tank.

 

I felt so much better and not drained or isolated. And although I didn’t check out the new city anymore, I finally fell asleep for the night. I slept from 10-5am. The best hard sleep, I had in a while. By the time I touched down in Baltimore the next afternoon, I felt like a new woman again.

 

I was the second person to get off the airplane and waited for my suitcase at the belt with the first person who got off the airplane. He introduced himself as, “Mike.” I actually was very found of him as he told me he had five back surgeries and wanted to get out of his pain. I told him that I was an energy healer and he was interested as that was the only modality he didn’t explore yet. We left the terminal but I wanted to keep talking to him. In fact, I thought about him a few times over the next day. “Why didn’t I give him my information?” It was because I really wanted to be home or else I probably would have! As soon as my suitcase came down, I smiled and wished him a great week. As I started to think about Mike again, I realized, my energy is still with him.

 

I closed my eyes and asked for my energy to be returned and for him to be sent healing to his body and to help him find an energy healer who could assist him on his journey. I once again, felt a shift within me. Not a physical one but a more centered and collective one.

 

We can give out, leave and even deplete our own energy reserves. I want you to notice when you feel drained. When are your experiencing loss of energy? Where did you leave yours at? Did you give out too much to someone?

 

This is how it works:

 

Throughout the day, your aura is being extracted from your words, thoughts, interaction with others and even places you visit. Not to mention, the other side (earth bound spirits) who are sitting with you. Throughout our day, we are interacting and conversing energy with each other. Ever meet a person who has a big personality or dumped their drama and left you feeling depleted? They are unconsciously taking your energy with a big THANK YOU as they drove off in their convertible leaving you on the sidewalk.

 

But understand and know that you are completely in control of your own energy field. This is why I recommend doing chakra meditations to clear and re-energize these fields. When you are feeling whipped and done remember to return your energy.

 

You don’t need to know where it went, although sometimes you may. If you know whom tried to escape with some of your energy, you can picture the energy from that person or place and return it to yourself. If you don’t know, just intending to return it back is good enough!

 

I’m not sure how or why I started to talk to the north, east, south and west – I don’t practice pagan or anything but perhaps I did in a previous life. I just did it because it felt right at the moment. You don’t have to call back from the corners, you can call back with your intention to do so and it is. My guides took me to the forest where I saw myself dancing with the trees. Let yourself be free and see where it goes.

 

The funny part of this all is that I got to choose a name tag prior to the retreat. On the back the Founder, Crystal Ann Compton, wrote a note. So fitting isn’t it? Us spiritual folk call it synchronicity. Gaia is the best darn medicine there is.
