How to Maintain Good Energy Hygiene

Posted on Saturday, February 8, 2009 by Lily Wong in Personal Energy

In conjunction with his upcoming workshop called Personal Alchemy with Archangel Michael, Victor Lu talks to Soulstudio about some of the things that would be covered during that one-day weekend course. In a dialogue session with Soulstudio, Victor shares his insights on energy hygiene, cords cutting, psychic attack and numerous techniques on how to keep the energy body healthy, wealthy and wise.

Soulstudio (SS):  What is energy hygiene?
Victor Lu (VL) : Energy hygiene is about clearing and maintaining your own energy field/aura. It is very similar to how you would maintain hygiene of your body, teeth and even your food – and ideally it should be part of our daily life routines. Just like how we would groom ourselves and put on something nice to wear before we go out, we should also clean our own energy and “dress” it up with higher vibration; ie. a beautiful light protective shield; before we go out into the world.

SS: Why is it important?
VL: Energy hygiene is important in that it helps us to maintain a healthy boundary between ourselves and others, or the outer environment. In this way we will not be easily affected by others, hence giving you a clear mind. Clarity is important because it is only through a clear mind that we make higher and more conscious choices in life.

SS:  What are the signs that our energy body needs to be 'cleansed'? For example, is depression a sign? How so?
VL: A good indication that the energy body needs to be cleansed is we when feel tired all of a sudden. For instance, feeling drained after you have spoken with certain people. Or if you feel blue out of blue. So yes, depression for no apparent reasons could indicate that you may have taken on other people’s energies, causing dis-resonance within your energy body – which means it is high time you clear yourself of these discordant energies! Losing focus is also another good sign.

SS: In brief, how do we practice good energy hygiene?
VL: Awareness is the essential key to successful energy hygiene practice. Firstly, you have to be aware of yourself. You don’t need to be a “Sensitive” to do so – everyone can cultivate awareness in daily life. When you are in a state of consistent awareness, you will then be able to choose the things that you want and don't want in your life. And this includes what sort of energies that you choose to be in your system and what other vibrations that you would prefer to do without because they do not serve your highest good. All this requires good mastery of awareness.

I do agree, that for many people, cultivating awareness may take discipline. However I would like to emphasize that commitment to building awareness in your daily life, especially consistently being aware of your body and moods is really the greatest gifts that anyone could have!

SS: Why is cords-cutting such an important practice?
VL: Cords are energy streams that look like tubes connecting a person to another. When you engage in any relationships with people, places, objects or situation, you create cords. The reason cords are created is to ensure you get enough understanding about a certain situation with another person – as this facilitates spiritual lessons.

I’ll give you another broader view about cords. When you were in your mother’s womb an umblilical cord connected you to her so that you will receive sustenance from her. However when you are borned and were fully mature to obtain sustenance for yourself, the cord is then cut. Energy cords are somewhat like that – they are meant to be there for purpose, and when that purpose is served, it should be removed. But most of the time, instead of learning those lessons and let go, we still hold on to them.

Everything is related, but sometimes we take things too personally – we have a tendency to take things deep into our heart and mind. When this happens, we lose our conscious minds and our inner center, forgetting the truth. We then blame others for creating our reality and experiences, forgetting that we are responsible for everything that happens to us. We forget that we are the ones who keep ourselves hooked onto others and certain unpleasant situations. This hooking, this sense of striving to tear down the opposite, the sense of wanting the other person or situation to conform to your values, the sense of being stagnated in non-action etc are all examples of energy cording.

However, once you are aware of such cords, and you begin to acknowledge and understand them, you can easily release these cords. When cords are released, it is when you get back your personal power, centeredness and clarity. In this frame of mind you can now choose what kind of experiences you want in your daily life.

SS:  Please talk a little about psychic attacks and how it relates to energy hygiene.
VL: There are many forms of psychic attacks. For this topic, however, I won’t be talking the supernatural or “woo-woo” kind. I will instead talk about the type of psychic attacks that most people claim are being induced upon them, but are actually self-created.

Yes, the number one most common psychic attack is always self-created! I don't call this psychic attack, because it is actually self-cricticism and the tendency to blame – all attributes of not being self-responsible. This type of psychic attack is about continuing to condemn yourself, criticize yourself, harboring guilt and struggling to stand your ground.

The second form of psychic attack is actually side effects from life transitions; and whatever discomfort you feel is not an attack eventhough some misinformed clairvoyants/psychics will tell that you are psychically attacked. This kind of misinformation happens simply because when you are going through many spiritual shifts and life crises, you can easily fall into negative moods and negative thoughtforms which may create all sorts of illusive judgments – all of which may be misinterpreted as a psychic attack. In truth this has nothing to do with a person or outside force attacking them.

The third type has to do with what other people are saying about you, for example back bitting, jealousy and anger directed at you. If you do not own your power and maintain healthy boundaries, you will indeed be less immune to these lower energies – hence, being ‘attacked’. This can cause you to be off-centered or have trouble deciding things for yourself.

Everyone, even those who is diligent in taking care of their physical, emotional, mental and energy level and hygiene, will experience these circumstances from time to time. But for those with good energy hygiene practice, you have an advantage because you can now use your practice as a tool to clear these disharmonious vibrations and re-establish your boundaries consciously. Through persistency and consistency, you will able to maintain a clear and strong healthy energy body that will support you, leaving no room for any psychic attack to occur be it from self or from others. And all the above can be done by choosing to take good care of your four body systems through maintaining healthy energetic hygiene.

SS: Please explain a little about your work with Archangel Michael, and how he can help us in centering our energies.
VL: Archangel Michael is known as the Archangel of Protection, Courage, Direction, Faith and Determination. This wonderful angelic being has the ability to help us feel safe, centered and clear within our own energies.

Call upon him now from your heart with sincerity:

Archangel Michael, I call upon you now to center and protect my energy field. Thank you and it is done.

Take a deep breath and be aware of your heart center...and feel the shift and sense of strength within you.

My connection with Archangel Michael is to assist people to feel safe enough to reclaim their own power and come to a point of understanding by refining their consciousness, claiming personal power and integrating love into everyday life.

SS: Finally, what advice do you have for readers who are sensitive to energies?
VL: Honor your sensitivity! Pushing or denying it is not the way. Honor it by acknowledging it. You can affirm this daily:  Yes, I am sensitive towards energies and I now choose to master and direct my own energies. I choose to be free from all energies that is not of me and not of Love to be returned back to its original Source with love.

Another good technique is to constantly bathe with sea salt and to visualize the color green showering on you. The sea salt will break old energies and the green light will revitalize your energies.

Also, learn how to say NO with assertiveness and most importantly with love. This will give you tremendous strength and help you build stronger healthy boundaries.
