Spiritual Guidance – A Blog Series by: Reiki Reverend, Ph.D.

In-depth yet light-hearted spiritual guidance, general spiritual advice, and discussion based on different ways for you to enrich your spiritual awakening process.

In this article, I’ll talk about energy shields, mirror shields, bubble shields, and how to create your own energy shields to use anytime. There is a quick exercise here that can teach you how to work with this simple, yet effective spiritual tool to protect yourselves and others against unwanted spiritual attention or psychic attacks.

Are you, or someone you know, having difficulties with things that may be outside of what they can normally see or work with in this world?

Do you feel like you’re a type of spiritual channel that is constantly being contacted by spirits for various reasons?

You may understand how important it is to have a tool such as shielding to protect yourselves and others, but for those who are especially affected by energy or sensitive to spirit, energy shielding or shielding has to be the most life-changing spiritual ability to develop.

When I speak of an energetic shield, I’m referring to a projection of energy that may extend from the aura (your personal bubble) in some way, that is manifested, willed, or created with a protective purpose.

When you think of a prayer of protection, the layer of faith-built shielding can become an energetic layer of protection as you may need. The same thoughts, visualizations, or even gestures can be used with a protective intention or purpose.

This type of spiritual protection is like a barrier that is with you as a part of your connection to your higher power. In most cases, there is no right or wrong way to call on this protection, just connect with them in your own way and ask.

What you experience personally while working with shielding may vary. Allowing for your experience to speak for itself, trusting yourself, as well as those you put your faith in work best.

Those a bit more open or connected to such ways may visualize, or understand in their own way, a form of coating or light that surrounds them, and the protection is so to them.

The advanced practitioner may see things differently, but only because of their experiences that have shaped their workings to be so.

When you think about what your idea of a shield would look or feel like, making one becomes much easier.

Is it as simple as speaking a prayer, or putting your favorite hat on?

Both are functionally optional, the rest depends on you and how you feel about energy.

The process of shielding with energy starts and operates from within. Allow me to explain in a guided method that you can try in a calm mental space.

Sit calmly for a few moments, and understand your needs for protection. Do your best to think of them in relation, idea, or even energy/essence.

Do you have a need to be protected from harm?

Does this need involve a will or desire to reject what is sent to harm you?

Who would you ask, if anyone, to help you when you need protection?
If not who, than what would you want to defend yourself with?

Once you have gathered your intentions, it is time to give them a way to exist or a form.

Let your breathing flow freely like the air in the room.
Think of your desires or intentions for protection from earlier.
As you remember them, allow the sensations or thoughts they draw from you to rise up.
Firmly hold these sensations or thoughts within your mind as you breathe.

Now, let these sensations or thoughts begin to flow in with the air around you as you inhale deeper.
After a few breaths, take one final breath in slowly.
As you exhale, think of a bubble blowing up around you, full of your intentions.

Visualize, sense, or intend this bubble to form around your body however you’d like. Your new bubble shield can exist, or not, for as long as you may allow it to.

If you focus on its reflection, it can act as a mirror to deflect or reflect undesired energies or connections.

The amount of energy you place towards your shield can never drain you completely, but it is much more effective when the body and mind are rested.

This bubble is of your energy, it won’t hurt you.
It is a safe space for as long as your thoughts and will maintain it.

Thank you for reading this article and guide on shielding, I pray that it is helpful to you on your respective spiritual journey.

Don’t Sell Your Product, Sell Your “Secret Sauce!”

– A Business Coaching Blog by: Reiki Reverend, Ph.D.

I gave a student of mine a writing assignment on this quote for a business coaching session that was a part of her Reiki lessons.

She was doing tarot readings in-between her primary work and her lessons as an income-hobby that could help her achieve larger goals with the right audience to market for her spiritual business later.

The problem she quickly ran into with marketing her psychic readings is that she was having difficulty marketing to her target audience.

For those who don’t know, marketing and business in psychic readings can be very competitive due to the constant demand for both the cards and readings. Because of this, it can be very stressful for anyone starting out.

Even more, if you want a large enough audience to begin developing a sustainable income.

As I explained to her, there is always a way to diversify your services from others. As long as the differences are understandable and relatable, this can happen easily.

From there, you can retain more people by choosing to personally engage with them in a way that best helps them get to know you and your brand.

I had channeled an interesting quote after our coaching session and shared it with her as well as some questions for an assignment.

“Which parts of this quote resonate most with you?”
“How would you frame this in a way that works best for what you do?”

“Don’t Sell Your

Product,

Sell

You.

Don’t

Sell

“You,”

Show Your Value!!!

I shared the quote, knowing it may have been a bit cryptic, to help her naturally develop her own type of mindset as to how she could naturally acquire new clients.

Some people understand business as math. In spiritual business, this almost always equals a bad experience when paired with how people would engage with you for business.

How well do you know your favorite Udemy Instructor or Youtube personality? Are they the type to post most of their content about their field, business, life, or all of them?

Are you more likely to go back to a teacher who only offered you light reading and a piece of paper (or bits of data) that simply states that you read the material and emailed them to let them know?

What of energetic exchange? Are you or your client receiving equal parts to your perception of the work you do?

For psychic readings, do you just skip over people who ask for a message over someone who just pops in with money?

My life on the way to this point in time was very challenging.

I was constantly being pressured, pushed, guided, and sometimes what felt like teleported to the next person, place, or lesson in ways I couldn’t identify for years.

I couldn’t handle enough to feel safe enough to breathe, let alone think about why until much later in life.

When I did, it gave me an opportunity for growth that may not have been met honorably without the hardship.

The details can be captivating, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it made for a great story thanks to the perspective I have for it in the now.

Some of you right now may be curious enough to read about some parts of my life through present eyes.

So why NOT shape your story, or even perspective, in a way that could benefit a part of the marketing process for services?

Talking about your hardships, struggles, and even challenges can show people that you are passionate and mean business.

That you have met and endured what was placed before you on this spiritual path. Choosing to use what you have been through as a tool for growth.

Experiences that could easily keep you thinking about what wisdom or skills you have to offer others.

On the inside, knowing that what you were doing for others can personally feel as if it could never be placed at a monetary value.

Why Do We Sell Spiritual Gifts As Services, What Kind Of Spiritual Services Should I Sell, And Why Is My “Burger” Any Better Than Dave’s?

Why do we sell spiritual gifts as services?

We sell our time that we spend using our gifts because we’re worth it.
As an individual who was born here from the world of spirit to live.
As a partner, mate, or family member.

While this is a truth that resonates differently with some than others, our survival on this planet matters to the whole of humanity. So does the energetic importance of the work that we do both as practitioners.

We ask for money to have our work be known as ours, respected for what it is, and seen by all that it can reach.

To do all manners of spiritual work solely as a charity would likely cause it to either find a way to this place again naturally or be released logically for something that can return what finances, time, or effort was put into your work. Most generally, it’s something that can help pay for the mandatory costs of life not necessarily universally covered by Spirit’s plan.

There will always be people in this world who would quickly dismiss the thoughts of receiving impactful work for absolutely nothing.

While it’s possible to work this way anyway in solidarity, it is not so practical when it comes to common life.

One opinion I have commonly seen vocalized is very understandable.

We do this work for free because our breath is free, we give our energy to channel freely because our life and connections to the channels are free.

Well, when you’ve been using money that you could have put towards other goals into learning how to do something such as energy healing it can be quite costly.

Also what tends to go unseen is time you may be spending doing free work when there are needs that must be met for the house or in some cases your children.

Eventually, there will come a time when you realize that if you are to work for free, you must sustain a living for yourself and your family. If you want to work with Spirit as a 24/7 lifestyle, this thought may come sooner.

In my opinion, there should never be any shame placed towards anyone’s pursuit of happiness that seeks to harm none.

What kind of spiritual services should you sell?

Each generation growing in a way that will always be similar to the former, but constantly evolving from the place they started in.

So, why reinvent yourself, or even the foundations for the methods you use?

If your method for practice, marketing, or even sales already works, just keep working at it until you feel like it is most in alignment with who you are as a person.

No need to rush yourself into a radical approach, or even create too much change for your audience. Be yourself every step of the way, and let the rest speak from your actions.

Finally, your “burgers,” or quality of service, being better than Dave’s is really up to what you consider better.

Anyone who is content with their business could tell you how successful their business is with or without giving you numbers if they’re happy about it.

What gives the success of each business so much diversity is within the perception of the owner.

Use that same perception as a tool to help others see why your “burgers” are better and market with that. From here, it’s not about what you do, but about who you wish to naturally attract and keep as an audience.

Instead of making a business about your product or service, let it be about what really matters.

Let it become a reflection of your journey for others to see, feel, or simply experience.

That’s The Secret of The “Secret Sauce.”
