What is Direct Energy Transfer?

As spiritual beings, we have various ways of learning:

We can learn thru study of written or taped material.

We can learn thru practical application and practice.

We can learn by guided shamanistic initiation, cremony, structured classes or dreamtime work.

Another way we can achieve spiritual knowing is thru what I call direct energy transfer. But what is that, and how does it affect the life of the person receiving it?

....Direct Spiritual Dispensation Experiences

© 2007, Neva J Howell, All Rights Reserved
A direct energy transfer, or spiritual dispensation, occurs spontaneously and is complete within itself. It is often like a strike of lightening into the center of the life of the person receiving it.

A direct baptism of transformative energy will commence burning away anything and everything that hinders spiritual development and can sometimes stimulate a deeply intense and traumatic lifechange experience, for the sake of the soul. I'm not sure it's something anyone should actively seek. In my own personal experience, it comes when the timing is right.

DET's are rare. Althought I've had several shamanic experiences and powerful spiritual visions, I have had only a few DET's in my lifetime (times when I was physically and irrevocably zapped by something I knew to be Divine) and none was more powerful than the last. The last one burned my life up, like a funeral pyre. Nothing remains of the life that was. And emerging from those ashes has been a seven-year process for me. In fact, until about midway through 2007, I still felt as if I'd only gotten one hand upraised but that's enough to know that I'm coming out the other side of this.

I say all this because, whether you are aware of it or not, some part of your soul is suggesting you might be ready. And I want the rest of you to know what that might mean.

As a healer, I grew accustomed to reports of bliss, spiritual journeying, and normal detox and restructuring of paradigms in those who came to seek my assistance. I now see that work as preliminary, if necessary at the time.

I will also state strongly that I believe every one of us who comes thru the fire of spiritual refinement makes the path easier for the next person so I don't expect that people will have to go thru the complete meltdown that I went through. However, by it's very nature, Sacred Initiation changes things. And change, to the ego, is often threatening to the point of terror. In fact, the idea of change and loss of control, no matter how temporary, can be so terrifying to the ego self that Spirit has to tempt us into the experience in a veiled way, with what I call ego bait.

The "Ego Bait" of my most powerful DET

I often use the term ego bait to refer to something with which Spirit entices me toward an experience, by offering something else I want. It's a type of bait for my ego self and I often don't realize the true reason for an event or encounter til later. That was certainly the case here. I thought I was coming to get a free class on something called Cranial Flight. And I was coming for that reason.....but that wasn't the only reason.

Just prior to this incredible experience. a beloved friend and I traveled a distance to take this particular cranial training. It was offered via the internet for months and yet, we are the only two who showed up. It was taught by a cranialist osteopath who had certain artifacts come on his path after twenty years of travel and study. The training class was taped but the tapes evaporated.

The training was valuable and the connection with the osteopath held it's own gifts as well. When I experienced the cranial work being taught by the osteopath, I knew something incredible had occurred. I experienced profound paradigm shifts. The cranial work began the process that eventually broke apart some rigid mindsets and belief structures (requiring a surrender to change that was not always pleasant for me but was always good) and helped to create a deep sense of "aliveness" within my body system.

I did not yet know that a major part of this amazing experience was due to the artifacts associated with it, the very ones this osteopath had found in his travels or that what I had experienced to that point was only the beginning of a fascinating healing journey. After the class was over, and in conjunction with one of the artifacts, there occurred a sudden, unexpected and unbelievably powerful Sacred Initiation, after which I came to know that Spirit had led me here to receive something that I would later share with others.

What is Cranial Flight?

It is difficult for me to form a statement about what this specific modality is because, though I took the class and got a blessing in the demonstration, I can remember little of what was actually said.

I know there was some of the same language that surrounds other crainosacral therapies....language about tentorum and falx mode, etc. and that there was new language as well, about flying or feeling as if you were flying.

It had to do with a sort of energy transmission that allowed for a balancing that went beyond the physical. It was very expansive and delicious for me to experience. Yet, it was not the main reason I was there though it was an integral part of preparing me for the experience I had with a Pipe holding Sacred energy.

Do I teach Cranial Flight?

Yes and No. The Pipe was intricately connected, both to the osteopath who brought in the Cranial Flight modality and to me. But this is only one of about four Direct Energy Transfers that are informing my work. If you have an interest, two others are mentioned here and here. The name I've given the synthesis of these four experience is Accelerated Alignment Healing. I both offer it as a service and train others to work with it, as healing facilitators. more information

How this DET occurred for me:

Prior to this class, we were shown a Pipe. It was unlike any Pipe I'd ever seen in ceremony or shops and I instantly wanted to hold it. My friend, wiser than I in this experience, suggested waiting until after the class. I impatiently agreed. After the Cranial Flight class, which lasted several hours, I again asked to hold the Pipe and the osteopath placed it in my hands. He later said he felt I was meant to hold it. I do not know the origin of the Pipe, which I call Sacred because of the experience I had with it) but know it was estimated to be around 4,000-5,000 years old. It was certainly unlike any pipe I'd ever seen before, in ceremony or in shops.

Something happened when I held this Pipe -- something unexpected and profound happened in that few moments, which has changed my life and awareness forever. Though the direct energy transfer probably only lasted 15 or 20 seconds, it reverberated thru me for hours afterwards.

It began the instant I held the Pipe. My entire body began to shake and I began to weep, wail actually, and the tears were not of sadness. They were soul-deep tears of joy. I felt a sense of reunion I can't begin to describe.

I felt energy flowing into me from the Pipe and it seemed also to be flowing in from the crown of my head and flowing out my feet, but also flowing in thru the feet. All-encompassing.

At a specific point in the transmission, I suddenly and distinctly smelled a smell so sweet that it made me long for something, I knew not what. My friend and the osteopath both smelled it as well. The heavenly scent was gone as soon as it had been sensed but I know I've never smelled it before on this earth.

As a result of my brief but reality-shifting baptism, I wandered in the wilderness for about seven years. Literally. Everything I loved and held dear was stipped away from me within a year or two of this, and the other experiences I mentioned. I came near to checking out, not by suicide but just by total loss of will to live.

I knew this was a gift to be shared, and offered in service, but I was unable to do it. I was immersed in emotions that made it impossible to be in energetic strength for the sake of another. I was enraged, bitter, depressed, deeply isolated, soul-weary and turning my back on all who still cared about me. It was the most horrible experience of my adult life and I pray I never have to go through that level of ego death again.

Yet, I could not have been of service until I walked through all the emotional imbalance that the events of my life had ignited in me. And that's just how long it took, in linear time. Felt like a lot longer to me. But now, I understand how Job felt. When he talks about God restoring the years that the locust hath eaten. It is surely true. And I'm so grateful to have made it through this experience, still here on the earth.

Ironically, I ran into an old friend from before my DET and subsequent meltdown, at a spiritual festival. She came to me with tears in her eyes and said that she thought I was dead. Someone had told her I died. In every way except the physical, I truly did.

Spiritual Health Disclaimer: Direct Energy Transfers such as the one I experienced are a potential when working with me. I'm connected to that energy. I believe Spirit directs the path as long as we allow it but I also know we can force things before we are truly ready. I've done it often. So, I would just say that anyone interested in the healing facilitation offered give it serious thought and use clear spiritual discernment in your decisions.
