No White Bubble for Me

I may from time to time offer links to products or services on my blog. If you click those links, and make a purchase from them, I might get some money to take a vacation...and, by take a vacation, I mean hop on my bike and hit the open road {trails around my house} or maybe attend a movie if it's been a good month.  Thank you for contributing to my bliss!

 

white bubbleA friend and I were chatting recently about a post I read on Facebook, which I blogged about here.  The jist of the article was about how “lightworkers” are often the ones bringing the dark.  We share thoughts of negativity and angst under the guise of wanting to help…to do good.

AND we can accomplish the same thing without the negative energy around it.

Part of our discussion included our thoughts around protecting ourselves.  Many talk about the benefits of surrounding yourself in white light or a big white bubble or putting some sort of shield or cloak on so all the “bad” energy around you can’t get in. But is this really a good idea?

In surrounding yourself with something like I mentioned above, are you living your life with an open heart?  Are you allowing yourself to be vulnerable?  To connect with others fully?

Are you putting yourself out into the world?  Showing up 110%?  Sharing yourself with the world?

I’m not so sure you are…

What if, instead, we all lead with our hearts?  What if we allow ourselves to be open and, in putting love out, are only able to attract love in?

I’m not saying you’ll never be hurt…truth is, you will.  With or without that white bubble, you will get hurt.  It’s part of life.

And living with an open heart is the only way to fully experience life in all it’s glory – good and bad. {Click to Tweet}

If you ever saw the move, What the Bleep, you might remember the part about receptors and DNA…where they talk about how what we take in, we have to have receptors to actually be able to take it in.  Like keys and locks.  So if you spend your entire life eating crappy food, for example, your receptors have been conditioned to take in crappy food and they won’t accept the good food you decide to eat today…until you cut out the crappy food and bring in more and more good food.  Over time, the receptors will adapt to the new food and begin receiving it fully.  The same thing happens with emotions and energy.  If your receptors are used to you being around positive energy or experiencing positive emotions, they may not even notice when something negative creeps in (cuz you know it will).

Of course, change doesn’t happen over night and the more we are willing to focus on positive energy, the more we will attract it.

Living with an open heart and sending out love into the world will support us more in life than putting up a shield any day.

 

What Others are Saying

  1. I had to think about this a bit. I agree a lot of lightworkers or positive thinkers seem to come from a place that something is wrong or I (you) need to be fixed. I really don’t care for that. Also, just because one person is experiencing some negativity, doesn’t mean it’s a universal source or that everyone else is. Good chance that it’s personal.

    As for white bubbles. I’ve never done well with the “visualize a white bubble” or shielding thing. However, I do call on my guides to protect me, cast a circle when doing readings and am conscious of my environment. I don’t walk around wide open, except in sacred space. But neither do I usually cut myself off. There’s a time and place for protection, I think, just as there’s a time and place for being open.

  2. On the same thought wave my take on this is that you attract the kind of energy you give off. Do you ever notice when you get a group of people together and one person starts complaining or bitching the whole conversation can turn into a bitch fest. Same goes for when you have a positive attitude it translates to others as well.

  3. I’ve heard and tried variations on the bubble technique over the years. I’ve also tried to lead with love and an open heart. They each have their benefits (such as giggling while you visualize zipping up your cosmic sleeping bag). The leading-with-love choice is extraordinarily powerful. But more even powerful than that, I’ve found, is to take great care of my physical health. The more physically robust and healthy I am, the less other people’s energy bothers me. I went through many years of illness before I regained my health, and this has been one of the most surprising and satisfying results of this journey for me.

    • Yes taking care of ourselves is key to being able to being able to tell what is ours and what isn’t. That is really helpful in the big picture. I’m so glad you are doing well!

  4. I’m with you.
    Sometimes it hard, but living more open and free add so much. I’m trying to release a lot around what others will think or say when I reveal my true self. Not easy but usually so worth it.
    Warmly,
    Kathy

  5. While I agree with what you wrote Michele, such as the awareness gained with the food concept, sometimes there needs to be an awareness of what actually is bad so that other people have a gage of sorts just like the food. There are many that don’t even know what they’re about. And that it’s actually negative until they read of someone else that’s similar. And then, there are all kinds of levels of vibrational energy out there as well. While you may not need a white bubble because you’ve been at this so long or have risen to a higher frequency, there are some that are still below trying to find their way. All aspects are good in different ways. Your’s and theirs. They are hundreds of millions of people all striving to find their way. All information is good on whatever level they happen to be on.

    • I agree 100% that awareness is so vital to growth and I feel that any time we can put a positive spin on what’s going on around us and live with an open heart, we are leaps and bounds ahead on our journey 🙂

  6. Thoughtful post, Michele, thank you. The way I currently value investing my energy is by aligning with those qualities I choose, like Love, Joy, Beauty, Grace, Ease . . . this becomes what I put into the world . . . and what I receive.

    • I love how you are focused on the qualities that are important to you. What a difference that makes 🙂

  7. Thinking of the previous article–I remember an instance where a friend of mine had a “lightworker” she was dealing with, but things just kept getting worse on the positive energy front. I thought I recognized the pattern, and asked if my friend had ever heard of “Munchausen Syndrome by proxy”, she hadn’t, but once I mentioned it, she saw the pattern too. She stopped working with that person, and lo and behold, her situation improved drastically. Doesn’t prove the other person was the cause of the problem, but it was effective.

    • No matter what the cause, recognizing the unhealthiness in those interactions is so important. I’m glad she was able to move on and see improvement. Not all people who call themselves “lightworkers” work within the light. We cannot give what we don’t have within ourselves already so if we aren’t doing our own work, we cannot provide support to others.

  8. I just read yesterday in Sonia Coquette’s book “Trust Your Vibes” that “the best way to maintain a higher vibration is to make every thought and word you use or listen to as loving and nurturing as possible.” She also says that her “favorite technique for detaching is to imagine that the world around me is a wonderful movie to learn from and enjoy, but I’m not the star of it.” Detaching from negative energy, sending out positive energy and love… the best way to be if we can.
