Hey guys! I just got a new job, I am very excited- I will be working as a peer support specialist at a huge, pretty well know mental health facility here in Chicago.
Basically, because of how totally f****d up past is, and how dramatically I changed my life, completely around, sky rocketing 180 degrees in the other direction, I am qualified to work as a counselor, like a psychologist with first-hand experience and knowledge without a degree. I have always wanted to work with mentally ill patients and research mental illness so I am ecstatic! This is perfect for me, and what's better is I didn't even have to fight for the job- the lady interviewing me said she believed in God and thought it was fate that she got my e-mail, she thinks I have an amazing story, and was begging me to be full-time (I can't because I am in school). She also said she has never met such a 'young and pretty girl who has such a good soul' which is the nicest thing anyone has ever said me!! Anyways enough about that.. What I am slightly worried about is...
Since I will be working with people who have severe schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. etc. and with many people who are heavily addicted to hard-core drugs- will this have a dampening affect on any kundalini activity??? Could it possibly damage or hinder my spiritual growth? Will the lower vibrations in the environment affect my higher vibrations?? Will it affect me spiritually at all?
I know kundalini can affect others positively- and I hope I will soon be able to have a kundalini awakening so this will happen- but I want to know if there could be an opposite effect... If higher vibrations can affect lower, why wouldn't the lower affect the higher?? That is basic physics, right?
And if anyone has any other advice for me, feel free to share your thoughts!!!

| Energies mix during daily life, this is pretty normal. And hey, most of those schizephrenic people have some highly active k, only a bit (more than usual^^) out of balance. Every kind of service uplifts "others" and you at the same time. Nothing to worry, whatever happens, it's always the best for you for that particular time. |

Hi Bellamente,
I remember this period you are going through, wanting to protect, nurture and do everything we can to expand our spiritual transformation and inner energy development. Nothing to worry about, you can be assured that life is the greatest teacher and that the ideal circumstances will manifest to open you completely to the flow of energy from within especially if you are willing. In other words, the process will take care of itself. |

Hi BellaMente :)
I've worked in a hospital for 20 years now as a computer programmer. I was shocked when I learned that most reiki practioners and many psychics tell you to stay away from hospitals, especially if you are sick, or if you must, then you must protect yourself.
Here is what Samuel Sagan (a medical doctor) says in his "Awakening the Third Eye" book.
quote:
Similarly, if you allow your aura to be too open when you are waiting in a packed railway station or visiting a friend in a hospital, you may catch all sorts of negative influences. You may even get sick in an insidious way, for there may be quite a long delay between the energy contamination and the onset of the disease, so that you won't be able to make the connection between the cause and the effect. A basic principle is: Whenever you need protection, be completely inside your body, not floating above!
and
quote:
White is the symbol of what remains untouched by external influences. Consequently, if you are in a context where you really need protection, there is no better colour to wear than white. It is not by chance that in hospitals the medical staff wear white or that babies are traditionally clothed in white.
and, when to practice protection:
quote:
– When you need to protect yourself against negative energies, in
a hospital for instance, or a similar type of dangerous and highly
polluted energetic environment.
I always carry some white quartz and black obsidian for protection in my pocket. But my usual practice is to thank God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit for the Love and Protection. That works great!
But, quite honestly, I kind of like being in a hospital because I get to reiki a lot of patients as I pass them in the halls.. and it is great therapy when I'm feeling depressed or thankless, to see a diabetic patient with no legs in a wheel chair. That changes my attitude in a hurry!
Good luck. I'm sure you will do what is right for you.
:)

My first day was Thursday. I stayed up late meditating and listening to spiritual music, and when I finally went to bed, I kept waking up during sleep trying to shake off the sleep paralysis causing vibrations that wanted to overtake me (I wasn't scared I was just tired and wanted to actually sleep!) so needless to say I was very very tired... I went to a different place than where my interview was and the people I met were not even there so I felt kind of uncomfortable at first but it faded as time went by... I still felt kind of out of place since nobody knew why I was there, but I just kept giving out love and trying to radiate love out in all directions during the groups, and overall I had a good time. I did notice I picked up on some feelings of depression and such (but my moon is in cancer so I am very used to being a psychic sponge and picking up on energies so it wasn't a new thing) and they continued to affect me until I got home and rested. Yesterday when I went to the main place I felt more comfortable after bonding with some of the patients, I still had some tension and nervous energy in the groups but I think it was from my social anxiety and I did not pick up on any negative energies. So I am sure I just need to be more comfortable at the other place and I will be fine....
My question is- will continually sending out love and helping others cause a depletion in energy or will it actually boost energy levels? I have heard conflicting views on this so I am confused about it...
Thanks all! I love your advice you guys are always so helpful |

Hi BellaMente,
The more you give out the more you will receive. But you have to be willing to receive and let it flow through you, or at least not block the reception of it. It is a flow, not coming from you but from the divine through you, so if you don't take credit for it and don't stand in it's way, you should be ok. Also, don't attach to the results. Let the divine work in it's own ways.
If you have doubts about your ability to receive, try doing a short meditation with palms open facing upwards resting on your legs just to receive divine light from your hands into your heart..
I do know some Reiki practitioners who do get exhausted after prolonged treatments, but I always thought that they were getting in the way, being too attached, focusing on the results and using their own energy.. There is a never ending supply of prana all around us. We just have to tap into it.
Also, if your kundalini gets flowing, that will add another dimension to the flow so you will have to watch that you don't overdo things, and cause burns, rashes and other high voltage phenomenon to your body or the people you are in close proximity to.
Another point I'd thought I'd mention. I have this feeling that you are going too fast. Maybe slow down a bit and re-read the lessons on self-pacing, just to put me at ease. :)
:)

Thanks again TI for all your wonderful posts...
I appreciate your concern that I am going to fast, but the funny thing is I have cut my practice from 10 min SB, 20 min DM 2X daily all the way down to half (a couple weeks ago), and I was thinking that I might have cut down too much and was thinking of adding it back in... The main reason being, I've been learning a lot more about astrology and found out that I am going through a Uranus-Uranus square (similar to Uranus-Uranus opposition that happens around 39-43 years where kundalini awakenings are supposedly more possible) and it will end soon, and I also found out that since late May there has been a Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron triple conjunction in Aquarius (when I first found out about kundalini and began my search, later leading me to AYP) and this conjunction supposedly is a pretty huge and significant opportunity for spiritual awakening and global transcendence. So, I definitely want to take advantage of this opportunity for spiritual growth while I can, but then again I wouldn't want to overdo anything and backtrack....
Thanks for everything!

Hi BellaMente, :)
One of the better astrological influences for kundalini activation is supposed to be Mars in Aquarius, have you ever heard that? I myself have several astrological programs, the one I like best is "The Instant Astrologer" by Lyn Birbeck because it does relationship charts.. Which one do you use?
:)

That's interesting I never heard of that one.. I'll have to look up when the next time Mars is going to be in Aquarius!
I didn't know you can get your own astrological programs, where did you get yours?? I just use my books and I go to astrology3d.com to pull up charts using the free sample report, which isn't very detailed but works for me...
Can you get programs that do both charts and current transits in the sky??
What are your signs?? I'm libra sun, libra rising, cancer moon...

Hi BellaMente :)
The Mars in Aquarius is a natal aspect, that is, the position that mars was in the heavens at the time of birth. I've never really been into the transits, I've been more drawn to personal characteristics.
But yes, both of my programs have the transits. Like I said, I have "The Instant Astrologer" http://www.instantastrologer.com/default.asp
and another older program called Visions.
Here, for example is my printout from the Visions program:

New Job- will it affect kundalini activity?
