Feeling Dark Inside? It’s Your Time to Shine!

Here’s how to get there.

Have you heard or felt yourself or clients feeling lonely, attacked by dark, gripping thoughts and contemplating “What’s the point of my life?  What difference would it make if I wasn’t here?”  Not exactly suicidal thoughts, but facing in that direction.  And on top of it all, not wanting to tell anyone…because it is just not your normal?


In a dark place?

From the UK to Canada, the USA to India, clients and friends all over the world are coming up with the exact same phrases and feelings. Energetically, many look like they have the end of a bullet-shaped, thick metal encasement suspended around their head, neck and shoulders. Dark, lightless clouds are within the covering and relentless, heavy rain is pouring down, rain that sucks all the happiness out of the person. I’ve seen this in many people and they say, “Yes, that’s just how it feels.” (I can see, hear and feel conditions in people’s energetic fields.)


Get back into the light, using TAT!

Once we do a TAT session about all this, the negative thoughts and feelings, metal encasement, darkness and horrible rain totally and effortlessly clear up. And then, wow!!! People are shining from their hearts like the sun: a brilliant white, warm light that seems to go on forever and connect them with life with a new effortless strength. It is beautiful, inspiring, and attainable. If you yourself are in that kind of dark condition, take heart: you’re not the only one and relief is very near along with an incredible new condition of happy brilliance. This is your new natural self. 


In your healing work with clients and yourself, consider that if you see, hear or feel anything like I’m describing, you can include this whole picture in your healing intention.

Life is filled with opportunities to make changes, sometimes by design, and more often by circumstances we don’t anticipate. Either way, you are more likely to harness positive lasting change when your mind and actions are in harmony. And you’ll feel less conflict within yourself.

Then, with the power of energy practices, you can level up your manifestation skills by being crystal clear on the desired results. Sound good? Let’s dive in.
