Family Absorbing My Energy

[Donni_Joy]

G'day mate

We have five kids, so I sorta know where you are coming from

I would be looking at the equation of what you put in you get back. NEW and energy raising/breathing will help a great deal. For me, discipline is my major challenge and I admit I go through phases. Sometimes I can go for months without serious developmental work, and in fact, my last semi-conscious low-level OBE was late last year. Since I have begun to be more serious with my energy work again, I am finding a significant increase in not only dream recall but lucidity. From years at playing with this, I can honestly say that what you put in, you get back.

It might be worth posting little stars of something here and there to kickstart reminding yourself to raise energy (or energy breathe). There are plenty of opportunities, like driving the car to and from work, sitting on the loo , showering, brush your teeth with energy -- do whatever you can whenever you can to work and use your invisible ... er... energy body!

Kid energy can be great do -- breathe in that exuberance when they are playing and running amok! Depending upon thweir ages, you can also teach them to energy breathe and make it a game to remind each other.... Using NEW with kids is another post though

I sensed that on some level you were blaming the relationship for the change in your OBE frequency. I would like to say again that what you put in, you get back regardless of your circumstances. If life's events are draining you, then take the effort to increase/work on your energy body so you DO have what you need to OBE. (Sounds like a seven year itch to me LOL)

If you wanted to get deeper into it, you could look at perhaps the energy levels in the house (feng shui, dowsing, smudging) if this co-incided with the relationship and the sudden decrese of OBE's etc. Keep the energy levels in the house light and one source of energy draining is either reduced or eliminated. Robert's upcoming book will describe many ways to do this; and "Astral Dynamics" also offers suggestions for keeping your energy levels up when people/events drain them.

I am a big one for the BS cleanse... that is Belief Systems, mate LOL It is posted in the meditation forum and online in Robert's articles on psychic self-defense 9you might do well to read it too) as you cannot really lay total blame on circumstance for what happens OBE -- again, what you put in, you get back.

Sorry if it sounds harsh but I have learnt I guess the hard way. My family is not a normal family and there are more stresses than pleasures seemingly most of the time. But I choose to take responsibility for my spiritual development -- hubby couldn't give a hoot about any of 'that stuff' and so I have taken full responsibility for my success and perceived failures. It's hard with kids -- bloody hard -- but you CAN do it. Point of fact -- Robert is a single dad, a hoarde of kids (something to do with his kangaroo and sheep totems)-- and look at what he has done.

Actually whilst on one of my fave subjects Robert suggests that whilst meditating around kids, to wear a pair of dark sunglasses and glue eyes to them (from a magazine.) he says the kids think you are "there" with them, but in fact, you are in trance gaga land... I've never tried it... but he swears by it.

OK reality calls - dinner time!

Cheers
Donni

Thanks Donni,

No one can take your energy from you with no participation of your own. Somehow you are involved in the loss of energy. If you only become aware of having lost energy after you are already depleted, the only thing you can do is damage control. It is better to learn to become aware of energy loss earlier, while you still have enough energy to change the situation. It sounds like what you are describing is an ongoing situation, so you probably won't have to wait long. When you do find earlier that you are just starting to lose energy, it is good to try to understand where the energy is going and why it is going. If you can learn reiki, you don't have to use your own personal stash of energy. If you can't afford to give away the energy because you are low at the time or because you don't have the opportunity to raise more to replace it, you can choose to break off the connection before you have lost so much energy that you can't act.

If you do find you want to check into Reiki, http://grassrootsreiki.tripod.com/ seems to have a good attitude.

This may sound strange but,
I married a woman 7 years ago with three kids. Since then I've only had two conscious OBE's and several spontaneous. It seems like they are sucking my energy, my life levels are low  Could this be really happening? Is there a way to shield myself from them?
I've always had a high vibrational rate, and energy level. But lately I seem to be dulling and can't charge up.
Any advice will be helpful as I'm out of solutions.    Thanks...
