Lately, I’ve been thinking about why the world is so dysfunctional. Two things come to mind - faulty egos, where one person feels like they have to one-up another, and second, the possibility of losing our security, financial or otherwise. Both of these are important but the first can be addressed with energy healing, so I’m going to focus my attention on that one - integrating and redirecting the ego’s energy.
I've been giving this a lot of thought recently, and I believe that most of the damage caused by humans can be explained by two big factors:
- Faulty Egos & Emotional Pain, where one person has to outperform another to feel good about themselves. They might have childhood trauma that makes them feel inferior, hurt, angry or vengeful. Those core wounds lead to actions that harm others in ways that are unnecessary - whether it's a snide comment or something more direct. The faulty ego might get pleasure from feeling superior, but that satisfaction is filtered through a wound. Pain is on background refresh; any efforts to do well suffer because of it. Everyone loses.
- Fear of Loss / Scarcity. It's assuming that there aren't enough opportunities for everyone to win at life. This might be literal - not enough money, or psychological (not enough praise, which brings us back to the first point; a damaged ego). For example, if one restauranteur opens a sushi restaurant and gets lots of good reviews, another chef might feel like they will lose customers. To be honest, this is based on real-life economic conditions and it’s a healthy human response. Competition is normal - a necessary survival mechanism, but my intuition tells me that aggressive competition and defensiveness happen because most of us are not aligned with our uniqueness or our vision. This is what I learned in business school too - differentiate your biz, your personality and your products. From a spiritual point of view, there is a part of your soul that taps into your life purpose and what no one else can match.
Healing your ego might involve integrating an overblown ego that pushes people away, but it could also be a dysfunctional ego that makes a person act small or insecure.
We want to assert ourselves, without going overboard and wreaking havoc on other people’s lives. One of the insights from my spiritual psychology classes is needing to set that boundary yourself; long term peace and stability is found when everyone thrives. Pluto in Libra here ♎️
The Ego is not Bad
>> We all have egos, and you need your ego to prop you up and give you strength. Don’t get rid of your ego. Unfortunately, the unhealthy parts of the ego sabotage us in unique and often sophisticated ways. So heal it. As Reiki teacher William Rand says - a healthy, integrated ego is a channel for your light to shine brightly in the world.
Read my books to heal yourself and join me on YouTube for meditations. I also offer healing sessions. A lot of self-healing is about developing confidence in yourself and releasing beliefs that paint you into a corner, beliefs about yourself and the world.
Heal yourself 💜💜💜💜
When I’ve done meditations to strengthen my sense of security, my intuition points me to this matrushka metaphor. Your full / higher self is a lot bigger than your ego / human self. And there is a part of us that has infinite growth potential. That said, I’m still a work in progress (aren’t we all) I haven’t felt as many changes in my life, as I would like. There have been lots of hang ups that I had to release along the way.
Action is also important; it’s the fiery part of your aura that gets you going 🔥🔥🔥
