The Dynamics if Abuse in Daily Living
Be it physical, psychic or psychological abuse, we
have all heard of it as well as experienced it personally. But the energy abuse
that is behind all of the others is seldom mentioned.
James Redfield already referred to energy abuse in his
famous book The Celestine Prophecy,
by giving us a precious overview of how the game of energy abuse happens in an
argument, for example. When someone argues by raising their voice, it is linear
that one wants to “win”, to have power over the other by proving he/she is
right. What isn’t so linear is that by shouting at someone, badmouthing
him/her, putting the person down and trying to prove one’s righteousness
through verbal violence, what is happening is pure and simple “energy feeding”. Finally one of the interlocutors will end up
feeling strong and victorious, full of energy, while the other will feel
depleted and worn out. What just took place was an “energy transfusion”,
nothing more, nothing less than that.
It’s very simple. Our body, as well as all of our
physical reality, is made up of energy: atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons…
energy. The food we eat is energy, as well as everything that moves and gives
substance to energy. It goes then without saying that, if we don’t know how to
generate vital energy for ourselves, we will have to find it elsewhere. The
most available place are the humans who surround us.
From the time of our birth, we learn with our parents
and with everyone we interact with. And one of the things we learn are the best
ways to “steal” energy from each other. We do it unconsciously, automatically.
One of the best and simplest ways to participate in
the great game of “energy stealing” is the victim strategy. It may seem shocking,
at first glance, but let’s take a closer look. Have you ever felt very tired
after having met that friend who is always complaining about everything? Have
you ever felt exhausted after a day working with the public, trying to satisfy
all of the client’s demands and complaints? Have you ever felt completely
depleted after entering a place that was filled with sad and pitiful people? Have
you ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility, having to carry the
whole family’s burdens on your own shoulders?
Yes. Day to day living is filled with examples of
“energy abuse”. Some are more obvious, then again others are much more subtle.
And though we have all felt it ourselves, we have also done it numerous times.
Actually, we spend most of our lives performing this imbalanced energy
exchange, always “stealing” from each other. And when we feed other people’s
victimhood all we are doing is perpetuating the game, hard as it may seem to
admit – because apparently all we are doing is helping. The truth is mostly we
do it in order to feel valued, somehow. That’s how the game works.
There are, nonetheless, ways of stopping the abusive
dynamics. Imagine that each human being discovered how to generate their own
energy, and that all of their exchanges with others were creative energy
exchanges, where the giving and receiving is in total balance. Imagine each
person became responsible for their own “dramas” and for creating their own
solutions – accepting other people’s suggestions, of course – but not demanding
attention, help, love, etc. This way each one could discover that all one needs
is already there, within oneself, and that the Universe is an infinite source
of vital energy, and thus each person could love unconditionally, truly love,
without being a burden or obligation to anyone else. In such a world there
would be no need for power battles, since each one would recognise one’s own
power as well as other people’s power. There would be no financial imbalances,
nor poverty, nor hunger, nor lack of anything, because in fact all lack is born
from the compulsive need for there to be victims and abusers in the world’s
social fabric.
Well, it doesn’t matter much what the rest of the
world is choosing, but what each one of us chooses for oneself makes all the
difference – first of all in our own lives, and secondly all around us, one
step at a time, one breath at a time. Each one of us that puts a stop to the
dynamics of abuse in our own daily lives, not entering that game of “stealing”
each other’s energy, or letting it be “stolen” – each one of us who puts an end
to this, creates a new template, a new possibility for everyone else. A door of
awareness is opened wide and anyone who thereof wishes to walk through it can do
so of his/her own volition. A real life example that it is possible to release
that game is also made available as well as how it can be done.
That is how abundance starts to flow in your life.
This is a very ample theme, but I leave it open here,
so that you can observe it yourself and see how it exists in your life and to
what extent you are available to admit it and eventually let go of it.
How does one let go? Simple. Start loving yourself and
respecting yourself for real. Nourish your body, be tender to yourself,
celebrate yourself in gratitude. Treat your Temple with the reverence it
deserves. Switch off the constant need for outer distractions, the need for
outer love, the need for outer attention and LOVE YOURSELF! Literally fall in
love with yourself. Breathe. Live. Be. What do you choose? What do you want for
you… just for you?
When you are finally loving yourself like this, you
shall know how to love others as well, with Compassion, unconditionally.
I also choose to refer here that this game of energy
abuse has its roots in the imbalance between the masculine and feminine energy
within each one of us, irrespective of us being man or woman. I shall not delve
deeply into this issue here though I do underline that it is the primal source
of imbalance.
I invite you to feel how your inner masculine and
feminine are. What comes to you from both parts and how do they relate with one
another, inside of you (or do they relate at all)?
We have created a Meditation/Conscious Breath CD which
is accompanied by the sound of Tibetan and Crystal Bowls, amongst other musical
and sound instruments, with the exact aim of bringing the inner feminine and
masculine back into balance and back together. The CD is called Symbiosis.

Please answer these questions with complete honesty.
After all it is just you looking at yourself J
In what situations do you see yourself as a victim, or
as being abused?
In what situations do you see yourself as an abuser?
Now please invert things. See the victim as an abuser and
the abuser as a victim. Please note down how you feel that inside of you.
How do you feel your Masculine?
How do you feel your Feminine?
How do they relate to each other?
What do you choose for you?
