Ingrid Koivukangas, author of the Young Adult fantasy novel, Hunters of the Dream,
is today's guest blogger. Welcome, Ingrid! Tell us about methods of clearing negative energy.
Methods of Clearing Negative Energy
Have you ever felt out of sorts and not been sure why? Felt tired and
irritable, or cold for no reason? Had things fall on you when you opened a
cupboard? Kept having accidents? Suddenly started having bad dreams? Maybe you
have negative energy attached to you.
We are each affected by the world
around us on many levels, including the subtle energy level. Negative energy
can become attached to our aura. Our auras are the electromagnetic energy field
that surrounds our bodies and expands up to three feet away from our physical
body. The negative thoughts of others, directed towards us can negatively
affect us and attach to our subtle energy body. Ever been with someone who just
drains your energy and you’re exhausted by the time you leave? That can impact
your energy too, long after they have left. There are a few ways of clearing
this type of negative energy.
Here are a few visualization methods, Nana Brin teaches, Aurora in
Hunters of the Dream, to clear negative energy and protect herself. Like Nana
Brin, I recommend calling in protection before doing any type of visualization
work. This can be as simple as imaging yourself stepping into a bubble of pink,
or white, light that surrounds you and protects you or just visualizing
yourself surrounded with white light.
1 - Salt Water Shower
You can do it the next time you’re having a shower. Just close your eyes
and imagine that the water coming out of the shower is salt water. As the salt
water cleanses your body, it also burns away anything that may have become
attached to you. You may sense these attachments fizzling and smoking as they
disengage from you. They are harmless and are swept down the drain with the
salt water.
2 - Stepping into a Candle Flame
This is a very quick and easy method to use. Close your eyes and imagine
yourself stepping directly into the white-hot flame of a brightly burning
candle. As you step into the flame, you can sense any negative energy and
attachments burning away. The negative energy cannot follow you into the
flames. Stay in the flame until you feel ready to leave.
3 - Mirror Circle
Visualize yourself stepping into a circle made of tall, framed mirrors
that are lying facedown on the floor. Once you are standing inside the center
of this circle, say ‘Shields up!’ Imagine all of the mirrors quickly standing
up to form a tight circle around you. The mirrors catch any negative energy
being directed towards you and reflect it back to the sender.
4 - Ocean Cleansing
During this visualization imagine yourself at the shores of the ocean.
You are in a safe and protected bay with no one else around. Walk towards the
water and immerse yourself in the salty ocean. With each step you take into the
water, you can feel any and all attachments being burned away, safely removed
by the water. This method is one of my favorites and I’ve had orca come to help
me remove really deeply embedded attachments, which completely dissipate and
dissolve in the sea.
I’ve prepared a special Ocean Cleansing Meditation, that is available
through the Enter a World of Wonder website. Enter a World of Wonder is a
membership site where readers can continue their journey into the world of
Hunters of the Dream. You can get a free download of the meditation here: http://bit.ly/EnteraWorldofWonder

Hunters of the Dream
by Ingrid Koivukangas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When the
summer holidays begin, Aurora thinks she’s just a normal teenager about to have
another boring summer. Then, for her seventeenth birthday, Nana Brin gives her
a long-silent Oracle that has been passed down through their family for
generations. The mysterious Oracle soon awakens in response to the creeping
Darkness that is escaping and destroying all worlds. Aurora must quickly find
the courage to come to terms with her calling as the Huntress of the Dream.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
The
cards rustled, shifting in their dusty threadbare bag. They had lain dormant,
forgotten, for generations. The Oracle woke slowly, like a hound sniffing the
wind, trying to catch the scent of what had disturbed it, before calling forth
a warning. The Oracle bristled. Attuned to the subtle vibrations of the Worlds
it sensed a shifting in the balance of energy. The Darkness was once again
pulsing, sending out tendrils of elusive gloom. It too had lain waiting,
patiently. Over time it had slowly gained power, recruiting those it could
ensnare with its black promises. It could not yet escape from the confines of
the agreement reached during the Great Darkness...but soon the winds would
shift and change. Fully awake, the Oracle began to cast out its own response,
filaments of white light unfurling, in a quest to find the Huntress before the
Darkness did.
