Day 1: Listening

Healing Yourself · Day 1 of 3

Welcome

Listen to a welcome message from Robbins Hopkins, author of The Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol: Calling Forth Your Health and Wholeness (4½ minutes).

Welcome to the Healing Yourself tutorial. We are delighted you have found us. This tutorial is designed to get you started in using the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol for your own life. The tutorial is designed to help you clear and heal from negative, draining emotions like anger, fear, judgement and others.

Over the next 3 days, you’ll learn how to open sacred space, listen for guidance, and clear imbalances that you may be carrying. This tutorial is designed to work for you whether you have read the book already, or if you are still deciding whether this kind of spiritual work is a good fit for you. We are going to focus on the core part of doing self-healing work: determining what you feel is stuck and calling for clearing to release this from your energy field. You don’t need a copy of the book to follow along with the course, but if you do have one, I’ll share references to the chapters where you can find more detail.

The core concept we will be exploring in this tutorial is how to get started clearing blocked emotions that are negatively affecting you. We have all sorts of feelings that we give our energy to that can have a negative effect on our overall outlook on life and on our physical health.

Take anger, for example. We may just feel that we are angry lots of the time and that is the way it is because we are fiery people. However, anger causes constriction of our energy flow in our body in a myriad of ways and can lead to poor sleep, constant worry, self-protection energy and poor digestion. At the same time, if we feel angry, there are always underlying reasons for that anger. It is not that we are bad people or somehow emotionally handicapped. There are reasons we carry the anger.

Sometimes we know why we are angry and sometimes we simply respond with anger without understanding why the anger bursts out of us. This is true for most of our charged emotional responses. However, if we are clear that we do not want to respond with anger or any other negative emotion, this six-step protocol sets out steps to enable us to clear old stuck feelings and emotions. We simply have to decide what we want to clear up and begin that process. We do not need to know all the reasons we feel angry. We just need to decide that we want to feel less anger.

All emotions have a reason they are with us. But if we find those emotions running us, it is time to clear them out of our field with spiritual help. In using spiritual help we get the advantage of consciously working with our own spiritual energy within ourselves and surrounding us throughout the Universe. Spiritual energy is energy that is in balance and that is very helpful to us when we are not in balance with specific emotions.

We may spend untold hours rehashing a negative emotionally charged experience and still not be able to set it down and move on. We may have our very clear version of what happened, how we feel about it, what we think should have happened, what we could have done, etc. We may talk with a number of people about our feelings.

Usually we do this to try and come to a place of peace or state of balance with how we are feeling. Often though, the rehashing of charged emotions does not actually bring balance to us. Perhaps we begin to figure out why we reacted in certain ways. All too often though, we will find ourselves repeating the same anger, envy, grief, shame or fear, in new situations. This takes a huge toll on us.

If you have an emotion that repeats for you with negative outcomes, it is worth naming that emotion and clearing it from your field. You can determine if you want to respond with negative emotions to life’s interactions or not.

If you are ready to clear some unwanted emotions from your field, this tutorial can help you do that.

Exercise for Day 1

Today, after opening your work in Sacred Space, you are going to listen within yourself to determine what emotional blocked energy you most want to work with today and eventually release from your energy field. This tutorial is complete within itself but for further explanations you can refer to the book chapter and sections indicated for expansion of these topics.

1. Opening Sacred Space

This work is always done most effectively working in partnership with Divine Source. Open Sacred Space for yourself in order to make this work flow more easily. Here is one example of how to do this. This wording works well, however if needed, add or substitute other wording you feel more comfortable with. Speak this out loud to give it full power in our dimension of form. See Chapter 7, Section 1 for expanded definitions.

2. Listening Within

Identify a recurring negative emotion that you have felt recently. It does not matter whether the emotion felt justified to you. You are seeking an emotion that you have felt over and over again in your life, that may no longer be serving you well. The repetition of the emotion is what you are identifying. Good starting places are emotions that are explosive, tinged with frustration, or produce strong negative feelings. See Chapter 7, Sections 2 and 3 for further explanations.

This is the emotion I feel a lot in my life:

3. Deciding to Act

This repeating emotion causes imbalances in your energy at all levels, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. This negative emotion will continue to appear until you have decided to clear for all the unhealed reasons behind this emotional response to life. Our inner knowing or compass often leads us repeatedly and often unknown to us, to situations where we experience this emotion repeatedly because it is unhealthy for us to have this emotion showing up over and over again. Eventually, we may come to realize we need to let a specific negative feeling go in order to feel more balance.

We each have an inner knowing that puts us in situations where our feelings give us a glimpse of where we are out of balance. You may feel this emotion is justified in every instance but that is not in question at this point. Whether or not the emotion is justified, the expression of this emotion causes imbalance for you and perhaps for others around you, repeatedly.

You need to decide if you would like to have less of this emotion in your life. What would your life be like if you did not experience this emotional response to life? If you would like to be free of this response to life, come back tomorrow to work on releasing this for healing of the imbalances it is causing you.
