Life Guidance Series Part 7: Good Guidance Changes Energy
Intuition and Guidance are always accurate: If it’s not accurate it is not Guidance or intuition but conjecture, guessing, projection, interpretation, or belief.
Learning to tell the difference between Guidance and personal opinion is a foremost task of an ethical person in the role of guide.
“Guidance” that does not resonate with personal meaning or change our energy and the way we live our lives is merely information, no matter how obscure, spiritual, or esoteric, and regardless of its source.
Sensing changes in the body’s energy systems (chakras, meridians, fields, etc.) can provide direct and immediate feedback for the effectiveness of guidance.
Most of us can access some degree of Guidance some of the time. We may or may not be able to differentiate it from our general welter of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and input from external sources.
Learning to sense the ways it impacts our energy is a skill that magnifies the effects of Guidance. Energy feedback trains us to recognize Guidance with greater confidence. Guidance can direct energy work while energy work enhances Guidance.
Giving or recognizing genuine Guidance requires being deeply in touch with
yourself. Since energy reflects our actualities rather than our conceits, paying attention to energy aids self-awareness. Energy mirrors us. Authenticity is a huge advantage in the world of energy.
What is Good Guidance?
Good guidance makes immediate, healthful changes in the body’s energy systems. It is directly applicable to current life themes. If Guidance is used to look into the past, its usefulness comes from the past’s relevance to current goals, needs, and directions.
The most important guidance assists us to align directly with who we really are inside, and to bring forth hidden qualities and inspiration.
Good guidance helps us to clarify and anchor what we learn through life experience and inspires us to move into new territory. A point of view aligned with purpose and free flowing energy eases us and helps us to adjust positively to our circumstances.
A good guide identifies, supports and refines the most constructive direction in which we are just beginning to move. We are ready for and able to apply this guidance.
Good guidance fits like an ideal shoe for your foot shape and size. Words that guide one person may rub another raw, slop around in their life without providing support, or leave them unbalanced as they walk forward. Concepts, directions, inspiration, ideas, or instructions for something as significant as guiding your life should fit well. You don’t want blisters on your dharma (life walk).
A good guide is like a tug boat. Tugs bring huge ocean liners into dock or set them out to sea, safely and reliably. A tug serves the liner, which has its own power but allows the tug to navigate in tight spaces. The tug is not the focus or the point, but the movement of the liner.
A skilled energy healer can can see or feel a client’s energy changing in response to verbal input. Skilled energy healers often become effective guides: If you can see the energy change as you talk, you refine your skill by seeing what is actually working.
In my healing practice I used to do more direct energy work and less discussion. Now I discuss the issues that will allow the client’s energy to shift as I begin to address energy symptoms–and accomplish more in the course of a session. Done accurately, the discussion IS direct energy work.
Energy work and effective guidance accelerate one another. Appropriate shifts and changes in your energy systems advance the speed at which you can respond to guidance and put it into practice.
Energy interventions and Guidance work together when you work on your self too. Working with your energy assists intuition. For example, you may practice Qi Gong, visualize cleansing your fields, or balance your chakras and find that you get strong intuitive hits during or after your practice. Your intuition will also assist you in directing your energy practice.
What have YOU noticed about the way energy practice or therapies impact your intuition and your ability to apply your insights in daily life?
What makes YOU trust your intuition when you do?
There was something said recently about the book called ‘Shivitti’ that made/helped me feel that the experiences of the author, and the treatment he accessed, might be the way I must go. Although when I say this, parts of my mind immediately doubt this.
But yes, what you say about cleansing your fields, and how this is related to accepting Guidance seems helpful too.
Thank you for sending this out Teresa.
Dear Tom,
The mind does that, which is why sticking close to actual experience is precious guidance. Sensing into direct experience will prove to be of greater value than allowing concepts to interfere.

Hello,
Since practicing Qi Gong for years, recently I have been using intuition more and more and when I practice constellation work I totally rely on intuition and guidance to do that work.
Guidance is always flowing to me. I just need to use it when I need it and trust that it is correct. Guidance has never let me down and I have suffered when I do not listen to it. Different outcomes occur and sometimes it cost me big dollars.
Thank you
Greg
Hi Greg,
Isn’t it funny that it’s there but we don’t use it, and that the mind can interfere instead of assisting? The more we learn to differentiate the assorted inner voices the more adept we become at knowing what to trust.
Hugs,
T
It’s been awhile since I’ve been on the computer so I was not up-to-date. This, as is always the case, was a blessing because it made me go back and look for my last comment and your response to it. While I did understand your comment and have been using it, I was not making the progress I will get now that I’ve re-read your comment. You commented that my last sentence was a good affirmation. I re-read my last sentence and got a clear jolt of what I’ve been missing in my grounding practice. Thank you for that! And, thank me!
This post gave me a clearer example of why it will be so important for me to be able to stay grounded and centered. You talk about using discussion to help bring about energetic changes. I can see how being able to stay grounded and centered makes that happen so much more easily. I can also see how the discussion more easily changes the energy than energy work by itself. I would guess the discussion allows the other person to find their own truth and put it in their own words which would solidify the experience so much more for them than energy work alone. You are very skilled in listening/reading other’s words and seeing the deeper context, while guiding the person into seeing things for themselves. That is an incredible skill and I’m sure it took practice to get as good as you have become. While I can hear/see what other’s are saying/doing, I still need time to distill it myself in order to come back to the conversation with anything meaningful. By then, the energy has already morphed and I need more time.
I’m working on it and learning.
I definitely know that being able to stay grounded and centered will change my abilities because, now, I get too invested in the process and that is not good for myself or the other person. Also, for myself, I am still getting use to not having the roller coaster effect of having my emotions up/down depending on the situation. It’s been years but that roller coaster ride has an exhilarating effect and I find I miss it sometimes. I don’t want to go back to it but my life is less tulmultuous because the roller coaster is gone. Thankfully, when I do feel the roller coaster happen, I no longer enjoy the ride.
Again, thank you for your work. I appreciate and enjoy reading your observations/insights.
Dear Therese,
Your interior attention and ability to recognize guidance are true assets.
I like this sentence from your note: ” I would guess the discussion allows the other person to find their own truth and put it in their own words which would solidify the experience so much more for them than energy work alone.”
I remember making the decision that I did not enjoy that ride, as you so aptly described, beginning more sincere and applied inner work.
When I see clients I am always aiming to make the best possible use of their time. Consequently I can accomplish in a few minutes things that initially took several sessions. My practice and desire to be of service and see results have provided a training ground for me. It is useful to have something we do consistently over time.
As always, I am very grateful for your participation as hearing from readers inspires and sustains my contributions.
Love,
T
