Millions of hurtful interactions are taking place this very second. Arguments, yelling matches, punches, pushes, angry looks, hurtful tones, spiteful words, shouting, put downs, insults, and the endless stream of abusive posts amongst people on the internet.

Hurting plays a huge part in our lives. When we did something wrong, our parents punished us. If we drive recklessly, we can get into an accident. If we hold our breath, we suffocate. It’s undeniable that we live in a universe of natural laws and of cause and effect. If it wasn’t like this, then how would we learn?

But so often, hurting gets into places that it shouldn’t...

Do you ever feel exhausted and drained after spending time with another? Do you willingly give others your energy, in the hope that he or she will feel uplifted and more positive? Do you need to be in a relationship with another in order to feel alive and energized?

In most of our relationships we give and receive energy. It is natural and normal. Yet, if you rely on another’s life force energy or if another is dependent on your energy to feel healthy, alive and complete, you may be in a energy codependent relationship. It is natural to want to bond completely with those we love. Yet, when we depend on others as our primary energy source, we cripple our spirit and energetically suffocate those we care about.

If our innate connection with source energy and the truth that we are whole and pure loving beings is not integrated into our sense of self, we learn to satisfy our energy needs in unhealthy ways...

Though you’ve most likely been too busy (earning money) to really look into this, you’ve known for a while now that the way the money system works is a little fishy, haven’t you? The internet is making it very hard to ignore. Though endless conspiracy theories abound, each with their own twist on how exactly it all works and why, there is a core structure that cannot be denied. As any research will conclude, the reality of how the financial pyramid is constructed is far from a conspiracy theory. In this age of transparency, it is there for anyone to see, if they but have the interest to look for it...

This month’s Scorpio New Moon hits the reset button. It’s the second eclipse of the month, as the cosmic change agents clear the decks and compel a reboot of our lives.

Unpredictable Uranus, agent of radical, liberating change, ignited the Aries lunar eclipse on the 8th and set off firecrackers of revelations, bridge burning and chapter closings. Now Pluto, agent of inevitable, inescapable change, is wiping the slate and shoving us into what we perceive as darkness...

HJ: At your core, you are pure love.  You are whole.  Transforming self-destructive behaviors is about returning to your true nature.  We only engage in these behaviors because we are out of touch with that self-love and ironically most self-destructive behaviors either makes us feel good temporarily (simulating that self-love we miss and crave) or put us in a victim state or experience that elicits attention and love responses from other people.  As has been widely stated in A Course in Miracles, ‘Everything we do is either an offering of love or a cry for love.’  Self destructive behaviors are a cry for love.

When they are transformed, we enter the process of reconnecting with our own self-love, which is the source of all healing, happiness, peace and wisdom.

How much energy are you willing to give a negative experience that is over and done with? In replaying the moment over and over, you are continuing to feed it the power you so richly deserve for yourself. Releasing the energetic charge and closing the circle will allow you to move forward into a new, more positive experience. ~ Creator
