A client came in today feeling dispirited with life in general. She had been feeling well and in-fact had facilitated a personal growth weekend with a group of women the previous week. She suspected she was dissociated and when muscle testing, it was determined that she was only 20 percent connected to her physical body. She did not know why but was just feeling blue and lethargic. I ended up doing frontal occipital holding and was told by one of my guides that she had no energetic boundaries with any of her female clients and one in particular. When I shared this with her, she recounted that there was one woman in the workshop she facilitated that kept challenging her power and authority as the workshop leader. The last evening of the workshop, when my client was tired from holding the space for all the participants all weekend, this other woman co-opted the group to follow her lead as she became in charge.
To make a long story short, my client felt an energetic and physical shift of fatigue occur at that moment and never gave it another thought. That was the energetic origin from which subtle negative energy emerged, specifically identified as soul stealing. Because my client had been tired and failed to occupy the relationship completely with this woman who was trying to compensate for her own feelings of insecurity, she gave away a part of herself as this other woman “took or stole” her power.
Frontal occipital holding was selected as the next intervention. I saw that one of my power animals took me to the other woman’s soul where she was coveting the stolen soul part of my client. It actually took some aggressive effort on the part of my power animal to reclaim the stolen soul part and return it with my help to infuse back into my client. Afterward, my client felt restored and the muscle testing reflected that she was 100 percent embodied. She then needed to establish energetic boundaries with this woman, who was challenging her authority during the entire weekend. She realized there was a BIG lesson in this process about guarding her power from jealous and insecure women and to assert her own authority when challenged, especially in a group situation, even if the potential consequences would lead to an awkward group situation.
Soul stealing is real and extremely disabling. Keep your power–don’t give it away for there is always someone around who will gladly take it from you. This is the path of the warrior.
