Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Negative environment work situation!

Great to hear from you again. There are many difficult jobs and assignments we get along our way. A year or two from now when you look back on these recent experiences you will have fond memories of all you did and tried to do for your patients. Some assignments we seem to connect with and have great success while others just drain us and always we seem to struggle to find that balance. More and more as work demands impose on our family and free time it seems that we lose our balance.

I believe that Gallen's focus on compassion is indeed the key. Sometimes though by caring for others we give away our energy and by the time we get home in the evening we are too drained. Throughout the day, it is important to ask god, our masters and guides to help us as they have unlimited energy and that way we don't drain ourselves trying to give our own energy away.

At the recent level IV workshop I was talking to a nurse who works with kids while they are undergoing radiation treatments for cancer. She visualized god's energy combining with hers before, during and then after each treatment was being given to the child. She was working with other switched on nurses and had a nice team work situation which gave her a lot of support. Not surprising the children were responding to this incredibly well. She was so energetic and excited about her work... something you don't see much of today.

I'm a big believer that we have to be surrounded by people who are supportive, open minded, willing to learn, kind and helpful. We can move mountains when we find a place where we have that kind of support. Then we can also take time as Gallen says to recharge and find that balance at home through our QiGong exercises and meditation.

Sometimes feeling drained is due to environmental conditions as well. I find fluorescent lights to be quite hard on me so I never go all day under them. Smoking is another negative and draining hazard for me. Negative people are probably the biggest problem. Just keep saying prayers for them and find a way to turn the negative energy to the side and feed back positive energy. This can be done in both thoughts and words. Being aware of what is going on around us as the day evolves is critical to head off draining of our life force. Observation and being that detached observer allows us to discover the deeper levels of what is really happening so we can authentically do what is needed.

My wife is a special education teacher. She always comes home tired with great success stories and also frustrating bureaucratic problems. Through it all she knows she is helping the kids and doing what she is meant to be doing.

You've stepped off a stepping stone and are heading for another in your next job. Just make sure in your heart that this time the job is indeed what you are meant to be doing and you will have supporting people around you. The best job is where the world's greatest needs meets your heart's greatest desire.

Your morning star is just rising and know that you have all the time in the world.

Lots of Love,
