Burnout Hazards

These days because more and more people will be wanting or needing the insights you can bring through, you may find that you have a tendency to work more then you would like.

I really recommend you set up certain hours* that you're available to do this work even though you may or may not actually have the work to do at those times. 

Now this is not necessarily something that has to be publicized but you can make it public if you like. By doing that you might head off certain problems that come with the work and that's that people might want to call you anytime day or night** because something's come up for them and they feel a pressing need to know more about it. 

I grant that there will be times when you will indulge that - meaning you will also feel that it is urgent for them to have something and you will channel for them for maybe 5 minutes over the phone but the problem with this is that they can either become dependent upon you which may not be good for them or more to the point since I'm speaking to you as individuals you might find that this becomes draining for you. 

You must be very careful not to get too involved in getting too tired as I've mentioned before because if you get too drained all the time you could burnout with this and by burning out I mean that you could feel exhausted all the time and you might not even be aware of why. 

So set up a couple of things, I recommend. Those hours could be one but also make it crystal clear that there are 2 days of the week that you are not to be called or that you are unavailable. You can pick weekend days, you can pick weekdays - it's entirely up to you. I would recommend one weekend day perhaps and one day in the middle of the week so that you can have time off to do what you need to do for yourself or just to completely rest and relax. 

I think that if you do that your body will feel alright with your work and your body is made up of Mother Earth and therefore has wisdom and knowledge that you inherit from the physical matter of Mother Earth. Mother Earth knows when to rest so you can take a lesson from her as well. 

Goodlife

*I recommend that you feel into the times that feel best to you for any day or week to do your sessions. Don't be attached to a regular schedule. Your hours where the energy feels like it will be best for you might vary.

------------------------------------------------------------ 

** It's important to have appointment times so you can prepare in the ways that are right for you to do channeled sessions for people. 

It is also important for the people to understand that these moments of wisdom and guidance that you're able to bring through will be best received by them at the appointed hour(s) because you felt that the energy was right for the best you have to offer to come through at those times for them.

Getting Tired After or During Your Sessions?

I want to talk to you a little bit today about getting tired after you do a session. This is something that will happen for some of you doing private sessions for people. Sometimes also people will say - well, I thought you weren't supposed to get tired - and give you all kinds of stories they believe or they may have heard about how you should do this or how you should do that and so on but in reality this is why you get tired.

Alright, if you're doing a private session for someone and you're channeling a being you've been channeling for a while and you don't normally get tired unless you've been channeling for hours or something like that but you're tired after the session - it is entirely because of the resistance. 

People will ask questions but sometimes they'll be afraid of the answers even before you've begun to channel anything or perhaps when you've just begun. Even so, the being speaks through you because they have love for the person that's asking the question and of course they have love for you as well but it tires you out physically because of the questioners resistance. So just know that that is the reason.

You don't have to mention their resistance to the people even if they say something to you about your being tired as I mentioned above because it takes a certain amount of courage for a person to come to you to get a private session even though sometimes they're afraid of what you might say because they might be asking questions about things that they're seriously concerned about.

So, don't be shy to mention that you need to rest a bit if you happen to get tired but if you do get tired make sure that you will have time to lie down. So don't make it a habit to book sessions one right after the other. This is a very speedy way to get exhausted and burn yourself out before your time.

So this is what I recommend even if you've been doing this for a while. Make sure that there's at least a half an hour, unless you're getting a little bit older like me :) or if you have other concerns about your health or well-being then it could be longer if you feel a need for it, between private sessions or between private and public sessions because you never know how resistant someone's going to be even in a public session where there may be many people present and if you don't have time to recover between those sessions - well, the whole process will get old before it's time. 

Okay. Goodlife.

Some Aspects About Sensitivity As A Channel

Now there's something else you need to know and that's that it's in the nature of the work of Deep Trance Channeling and the extreme focus in concentration you have to have to maintain your self to be open to such deep profound wisdom - albeit that it comes in a loving energy and that's something personal for you - over time you may find that you become very sensitive to other input - meaning you might become more aware of light phenomena around you, such as seeing Light Beings or other such loving entities but this also suggests something else doesn't it? And that's that you will simply become more sensitive and this might effect other aspects of your life.

It may be that you will begin to perceive things that are there - meaning other forms of life and so on. It won't be anything frightening because the more you get involved with spiritual work like this the more you will become at ease with such things.

There's one thing else that needs to be said and that's because it could effect your social life - not necessarily in a bad way but it could come up and that's that you will probably become sensitive across the board, meaning in every aspect of your life. In some cases this could improve the quality of your life but in other cases people might find you at times to be nervous, high strung or edgy.

If you notice that people find you to be that way or if you get that feeling or if you start apologizing for yourself more than you ever have before then you'll know it's time to move apart from folks for a while - meaning give yourself 2 or 3 days* to just rest, relax, don't work. If you have books you like to read that's a good time to do that but don't read anything too dramatic** or so intellectually stimulating that you become overwhelmed with thoughts. It's a time to relax your mind as well as your feeling self. I'll say more about that in time.

Goodlife.

*For some people, besides being apart from people and resting for 2 or 3 days, the ideal might be for a week.

**Also when you're resting during that week or 2 or 3 days don't watch anything on television that's too exciting - and as a general rule of thumb begin to ease yourself away from any entertainments, meaning that which you might read in fiction or watch in TV or go to the movies or see in the theatre, that are violent or even that have aspects of violence associated with the story line. You can read things that are mildly suggestive of violence but not anything graphic or anything like that. It may not have bothered you in the past but it will bother you once you become more sensitive this way.
