ENERGY PROFILE FOR OCTOBER

CLAIMING ONESELF

Claim: to declare oneself entitled to; the right to possess something   
            (Webster's dictionary)

Claiming is not a physical act. It is performed energetically. It is an intangible action.   

Claiming is a form of taking energetic ownership of your spirit and who you are beyond appearances. It says to others you have 'form and substance' and gives them something to relate to and with. When you do not claim yourself you 'feel' invisible to others as well as to yourself.

Imagine owning a house but not living in it. When you live in the house, others as well as yourself know it is your home. They come to your home to communicate and interact with you. When you own it but do not live in it, others do not know where to find you.

We are taught how to energetically claim ourself if we were claimed by our parents, grandparents or a caretaker as a child. Many parents/caretakers do not know how to claim themselves and consequently do not know how to teach their children.

When we were not claimed as a child it made us feel invisible, not important, lonely, of little consequence, not heard and ambiguous in regard to who we were. As a young adult, the effects of not being claimed begin to manifest in seeking and sometimes 'craving' attention, validation and acknowledg- ment in any way we could get it. This could produce the impulse to over-achieve, be perfect, stand out, be different, rebel and other uncompli- mentary actions.

The Catch 22 is that even when we receive lots of attention and recognition, without claiming ourself energetically, it will not fill the gaping hole within us. It will never feel like enough. It's like pouring water in a glass that has no bottom. After a while, you get tired of pouring and begin feeling frustrated, angry and that there is something wrong with you.

Have you ever been in a relationship where you didn't 'feel' claimed by your partner? This was especially evident when you were in public and around others. You could be looking good, in other words, holding hands and smiling, but something was off. You sensed that s/he was not energetically 'with' you. S/he was not claiming you or the relationship. What this means in the energy world is that a message is silently being broadcasted to others that s/he is not with you, is not taken, is still available and looking. Besides not claiming you or the relationship, s/he probably doesn't claim themselves either!

Once you claim yourself, you can claim others and allow them to claim you. When others praise you or give you a compliment, you can accept the energies of the praise/compliment within to nurture you because you 'get' it. Before claiming yourself, praise or a compliment was nice but you didn't know where to put it.

Does this make any sense to you? Can you relate to it? Claiming is not a difficult energy process. It can be accomplished in seconds. The most difficult part of claiming is getting to the point that you realize you need to do it and finding out how to do it. The aftereffects of claiming yourself will touch every aspect of your life and being and because of this you will experience your life making subtle changes for years to come.

The energy schematic will specifically show your subconscious mind how to claim yourself. It is not something you have to do everyday or more than once. It's like graduating from high school, once done does not have to be redone.

When the process is completed you may feel disoriented or lightheaded. You are alright, it is a powerful process with lots of internal energy realigning occurring. Drink lots of water and rest.

Congratulations on claiming yourself. You are wonderful and beautiful.
