Today was rough. Soon after the headache passed, I got extremely weak and had to battle back an anxiety attack. Something I have not had for a very long time and do not relish the thought of having again.

I had to go outside to ground myself and fortunately was able to regain my equilibrium. I had to say stop, please... to whatever was pawing at me.

It seems clear to me now that this process is already underway and likely started at this accelerated clip many months ago.

How can I be sure I'm protected from shadow forces during this time? I want to go slow...

Healing Facilitation Response:
You are in control. Some part of you asked for this and it seems there is a lot in your consciousness that knows it, despite the part that was in anxiety and panic today.

If you have anxiety to the point of panic attacks then do what you need to do to take care of yourself. If you feel too emotionally fragile to continue this journey then you are perfectly within your rights to ask it to stop.

I will cease contact and I will stop sending the emails if that is your wish because there is energy imbedded within them that is of the frequency of shifting paradigms and that can be extremely challenging.

However, I will also say that if your soul level self is ready for this, then it really won't be up to me or even up to your ego self to stop it. How To Become Invulnerable My soulmate once said to me that the only way to be completely invulnerable was to become completely vulnerable....nothing to protect or protect oneself against.

The Shadow Side is, or shadow forces as you called them, are energized by being kept in shadow and never embraced. It can feel like death to embrace it. It felt that way to me, on more than one occasion. I did not die. I decided it was ok if I did but that was my path and my choice.

You asked how to be sure you are protected from shadow forces.....a big part of my journey has been to invite those forces into light; embrace the dark aspects of my own humanity in loving awareness. Scary. I know. Terrifying, even.

So, in the beginning, I did what everyone I knew was doing. I smudged, I used crystals, I did affirmations and aura cleansings, I used amulets, pyramids, gemstones, whatever I thought might protect me. It was the right thing for me to do until I could allow that dark side energy space to express and reveal to me what it was there to teach me about myself and about life.

You can also use any number of protective ceremonies and tools like the ones I mentioned until you don't need to use them anymore.

Let me know if you want to keep receiving the healing journey emails. It is your spiritual journey.

My consciousness goes out to you in loving support. Neva

Why does evil exist?

About My Wellness Services: The medical profession classifies panic attacks as an anxiety disorder and prescribes medication for calming the mind. I do not choose to use such medications but certainly also recognize that, for some people, they may provide needed relief.

I am NOT here to tell you how to treat anxiety or panic but to simply address the spiritual truth that these are outward signs of an inward change and shift that is wanting to happen in a person's life, about which change a person also has debilitating fear or resistance.

My consultations are not, in any way, meant to replace needed medical or mental health evaluation, testing, medication or treatment that may also be indicated. I offer spiritual guidance to those who realize they are spiritual beings on a spiritual journey of remembering

It is also my responsibility to inform people that there are natural anxiety remedies that many find helpful, which are without some of the serious side effects and danger of addiction that is present with prescription medications.
