– Sometimes we may even take on someone else’s ‘shadow’, and find ourselves working with another’s feelings, which may be an uncomfortable experience.
There are many benefits to all parties and to all-that-there-is when we return another persons life-force to them. This act can be most profound and healing, and works on many levels. I get a lot of feedback from people who do this work, and many times I am told of relationships, between partners, parents, children, changing and improving. As a simple analogy, I see this as a ‘tug-of war’, where both parties are pulling on the rope, and when the person who returns the others life-force, which is effectively ‘letting go of the rope’, the other person responds, there is no more rope to pull, or exert pressure on.
Participants on workshops and clients often tell me, that as soon as they did this work, they went home and cleared all the clutter and junk from their home. To me this is a way of making an immediate physical manifestation and grounding of the act of release. They are making space available for new things to come into their life, which is exactly what happens in our own soul bodies, we make more space for our own life-force, more space for our own power.
Even though we may know this, and would like to reflect, and where possible return the other persons life-force, it may however be difficult to recall or remember people’s names or their faces because the act was carried out on an unconscious basis. This is the clear problem.
