The LOW Truth Value Allure of Energy Clearing.

This is an energy-based form of healing and personal development. It exemplifies certain skills that peaked in popularity during the New Age Years–from 1980 until the Shift into the Age of Awakening, on Dec. 21, 2012.

Count this article as Dedicated Responses #18.

In addition, this article willuse chakra databank research to learn about the impact on the consciousness of the energy healer. When somebody is a very enthusiastic supporter of a particular path–such as Energy Clearing–her chakra databanks will reveal some of the consciousness consequences of that particular path.

1. Rose Rosetree’s Standing to Write on

Energy Healing, Aura Reading, and Enlightenment Coaching

Before you read any article, it’s always wise to check an author’s standing. That way you’re more likely to read ideas that have High Truth Value. 

As for this author, yes, I do have the Standing to Write as an Enlightenment Coach.  So I just linked you to an article about that.

Because Julia touched on many topics in her response, it’s also fair to mention that I have the Standing to Write about Energy Healing. 

Finally, I have Standing to Write as a Teacher of Aura Reading and Researching Chakra Databanks. I’ve trademarked many related applications of Aura Reading Through All Your Senses®, such as Soul Thrill® Aura Research. As for developmental skills of energetic literacy, I just linked you to an article about 44 Stages of Energetic Literacy.

2. Julia King’s Standing to Educate Me and

Other Readers of the Energy Spirituality® Blog

Julia King responded at length to my article on “Does an Energy CLEARING Count as an Energy HEALING?” There I also linked to my YouTube video on “Energy HEALING Vs. Energy CLEARING.”

I applaud Julia King for including details of her standing. Here’s what I learned from her response at Medium:

For years, Julia has taught yoga, likely based in an ancient tradition that aimed to help seekers to gain Spiritual Enlightenment. But now — could it just be more important to look extremely relaxed???

As a Yoga Teacher for 20+ Years,

• Did Julia ever hear of Seeking Spiritual Enlightenment?
• From what I’ve learned about her so far, Julia is far more interested in feeling relaxed.

Just now, on my Google, “relaxed” scores 326 MILLION hits.

This Enlightenment Coach wonders, “When your life is over and you stand before God, having your Life Review, will that be your biggest achievement to report? Would you proudly say this? “The main thing I achieved is that other people thought I was very relaxed.”

Each to his own, right? Yet I wonder, do any of you Wisdom Seekers have any personal reaction to this swap-er-oo?

For years, Julia has taught a yogic tradition that aims to help spiritual seekers to gain Spiritual Enlightenment. But now–could it be more important to look extremely relaxed???

Thrilling, Maybe

Julia’s book offers different ways to relax in 2 minutes or less. Julia calls these quick “Nervous System Resets.” Perhaps it might be a bit of a stretch to make this claim? Though surely Julia could still win points for creative branding.

In her author bio at Amazon.com, Julia tell us about her B.S. in Exercise Science. She has no other credentials to list, unless you find it impressive that Julie calls herself a “Nervous System Guide.”

Why Did Energy Clearing Become Popular, Anyway?

During the New Age Years, why did Energy Clearing become popular? To many, it was enough that the clearing felt good. Others emphasized a spiritual benefit. Since then many healers–perhaps including Julie–found relaxation was the ultimate goal; feeling less stressed.

As a long-term spiritual seeker and spiritual teacher, I’m incredulous. When did the search for God get demoted into a worship of personal relaxation? Or is it a worship of LOOKING relaxed to others?

Wisdom Seekers, what say you? Have you noticed this kind of thing?

3. Does Energy Clearing Help People SPIRITUALLY?

Back in the day, just about any holistic approach won points for having HIGH Truth Value. Although, maybe you’ve noticed, now that we’re living in the Age of Awakening, guess what?

The same thrilling practices stayed mainstream, despite (or maybe because of) having LOW Truth Value.

Meet Kelly Brown

Kelly offers this example of a “mantra”:

“I cleanse my body, my mind, my heart and my spirit. I am purified and aligned with my highest self.” 

4. How about the Auras of Energy Clearing Experts?

Today I’ll Aura-Research 2 Advocates of Energy Clearing

They are author Kelly Brown and author Julia King.

Incidentally, for background on auras and chakra databank research, please use the link I’ve just given you.  Good quality energetic literacy is such a game-changer!

The main reason I’m researching their auras is this. It’s the best way I know to do something relevant to every Wisdom Seeker: To reveal the personal, human consequences of the healing equivalent of driving a Model T Ford.

ROSE ROSETREE COMMENTS

Many of us readers have faced this kind of impasse from time to time. So upsetting!

The beloved path is still perfect, yet for some mysterious reason, the faithful follower’s life has become increasingly stuck.

Being stuck like that can become a reason to question one’s “old faithful” path. Julia King may adore her path, and believe in it to the max, but I sure wish that folks in her situation would sign up for a session that could help them. Naturally, I think of a session of Energy Spirituality®. In particular, folks whose loyalty to their path no longer serves them: They might be great candidates for Soul Thrill® Aura Research.

Anyhow, here’s what I found in these three chakra databanks belonging to Julia King.

Who Volunteered to Teach Me about Energy Clearing

Look, it’s always tricky, trying to build your platform as an author by promoting yourself at another person’s blog. I know from experience. You see, Wisdom Seeker, I tried to do the equivalent before there were blogs. I tried relentlessly, for a while. Cringey!

I experimented this way much earlier in my career (those 16 years of teaching TM — Transcendental Meditation). I even did a tiny bit of that kind of outreach when I began launching the field of Energy Spirituality® some 40 years ago. Sigh!

A person has to start somewhere. I understand that.

Responding to Julia’s writing in today’s article can bring clarity to our informal community here. So let’s go through her ideas, one chunk at a time.

6. First, I Give Julia Credit

For Attempting to Be Tactful

She’s probably much better at this now, compared to when I was starting out for my first 20 years. Even now, after 50+ years as a spiritual teacher, I’ve never tried to placate people whose work I wanted to criticize. I’d rather say, “I disagree.” Otherwise, the giveaway is using ultra-tactful expressions like:

What an interesting frame, Rose.

Yes, that’s how Julia begins her response to my article. Perhaps she’s unaware that my body of work includes more than a cute plastic picture frame? Or that I’m into pop psychology and believe in adding  re-frames?

Innovations and results for Energy Spirituality® clients, readers, and students include: The 1,000 media interviews, the 40+ foreign rights sales of my books, the 11 trademarks from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office — plus, more details which one can easily find by browsing the Energy Spirituality® website.

Calling any part of my life work a psychological frame? This may not sound as respecful as Julia imagines.

To be clear, I don’t just disagree with how she’s characterized my body of work. I disagree with just about everything from Julia that will be quoted below. Yet I’m willing to explore it, one chunk at a time. This is, as always, an educational blog about Energy Spirituality®.

#7. Julia’s 1st Response to Me on Medium:

Where Julia “Sits”

What an interesting frame, Rose.

I sit in a slightly different lane — I come at this from the nervous system side — and I find the clearing-vs-healing distinction lands differently when you look at what’s happening physiologically.

So much imagery… and such very mixed metaphors. During the New Age Years, I benefited from a magnificent spiritual teacher who used language like this (without the mixed metaphors).

To me, Julia’s use of language may count as one more indication that the form of Energy Clearing she champions is left over from the New Age Years. The Truth Value decreasing with each passing year. As you can read in this book about using your full potential, those New Age Years gave rise to unique understandings.

Seems to me, these were transitional in nature, due to coming from the decades that occurred right before the start of the Shift in 2012.

Julie’s Standing as an “Expert” at Nervous Systems and Physiology

Ooh! They’re interesting to me, Julia’s references to “the nervous system side”  and  “when you look at what’s happening physiologically.”

Meaning no disrespect, I’ll remind you readers. Julia King has told us about her standing. She’s a yoga teacher.

Look, I’ve studied with some brilliant yoga teachers, ever since being taught my first set of yoga asanas in 1969. Wisdom Seekers, you can find a funny story about that in my memoir of becoming a spiritual teacher, “Bigger Than All the Night Sky.” Since 1969, I’ve done yoga asanas just about daily.

Along the way, I’ve taken yoga classes with a variety of teachers. Becoming especially partial to teachers of Kundalini Yoga!

Far as I know, none of these yoga teachers mixed in a side gig of doing Energy Clearing, let alone presenting themselves as medical experts.

From this perspective, I’m skeptical that Julia’s two decades as a yoga teacher would qualify her to… what? To write about physiology or anybody’s nervous system. As for branding herself as a Nervous System Guide, Julia King may diminish her professional credibility — rather than enhancing it.

#8. Julia’s 2nd Response to Me on Medium:

Translating ENERGY CLEARING Talk into MEDICAL Talk

A lot of what we call “clearing” — releasing stagnant energy, shaking out heaviness, grounding — is, mechanistically, the nervous system shifting out of sympathetic activation and into parasympathetic rest.

Seems to me, now, Julia King is trying to speak like a medical authority. Would this be in order to add to her credibility as a Nervous System Guide? Or to impress the Wisdom Seekers at my blog?

Either way, she has no professional standing in medicine, nor do I. So I find it presumptuous when she refers to “us.” As in, “A lot of what WE call “clearing”.

We doctors? We neuroscientists? Or medical researchers? What ???

In my experience, having occasionally aura-researched practitioners of Energy Clearing, hmmm. There are energy workers and then there are people who have earned medical credentials.

It was also, perhaps, a bit of a stretch when Julia dropped the word “mechanistically.” Did she think she was teaching a graduate seminar for medical residents?

Then, referring to a person receiving an Energy Clearing, Julia has described nervous system functioning as “shifting.” This just might belie her assumed medical standing.

Wisdom Seekers, how do you like it when people try to impress you by talking the talk of a field where they don’t really have standing? Examples, anyone?

Incidentally, about Talking the Talk without Real Standing

I see this kind of thing often with authors on Medium and Substack. You may remember a recent, related article at this Energy Spirituality Blog on Medium. As requested, Violet did all of us readers a favor. She linked us to an article that purported to explain “The Wheel of Karma.”

Oh my! It’s maybe an understatement to call this a LOW Truth Value article.

I’ll call that author “Gladys.” To her credit, Gladys disclosed to readers her full standing to teach them about Karma:

• In her twenties, she was a tourist in some Buddhist countries.
• Then she spent a brief time in a place where seven ley lines crossed. 
• Finally, during that trip, she had many conversations with random local people about how Karma worked.

Wisdom Seekers, Let’s Be Clear about This

When somebody tries to impress you with scientific terminology, etc., ask yourself this: “What is this person’s standing to tell me this?”

#9. Julia’s 3rd Response to Me on Medium.

All Dressed up with Nowhere to Go

Ms. King is all dressed up to lecture folks at my blog. Ready to be the best professor we’ve ever had. (Even if her specialty is something that we don’t do, and don’t want to do.)

[Results from energy clearing] can absolutely be temporary if it’s a one-off practice. But repeated regulation over time literally rewires the baseline — you build vagal tone, change the body’s default response to stress, and the changes do hold.

So I’d gently offer: maybe it’s not that clearing can’t bring permanent results, but that clearing as a one-time fix can’t — while clearing as a consistent practice actually can. 

Different mechanism than what you’re pointing to, but compatible with the broader point that the source and the discipline behind the practice really do matter.

At this point in Julia King’s response, her situation reminds me of a person who REALLY wants to go out on a Friday night. Unfortunately, she has nowhere to go.

Somehow, Julia has found herself at my blog, so she’s teaching me and everyone else. What do we urgently need to know? (Evidently Julia thinks she knows.)

Julia King’s Advice on the Medical Benefits of Energy Clearing

Alleged medical advice, actually. As though any of us here at the Energy Spirituality® Blog do Energy Clearing. Or receive it.

Speak up, Wisdom Seekers? Are you into grounding yourself  or, perhaps, visualizing colors that can remove icky things from your human energy field?

What Is My Professional Link to Energy Clearing?

Crickets. By which I DON’T MEAN that the cute little insects do Energy Clearing for me.

Seriously, this informal online community centers on four major specialties, one of which involves using trademarked skills for Energy Healing. Plus, I’ve read auras of people who did Energy Clearing.

My previous article on Energy Clearing, which came complete with a video, warned all of you about Energy Clearing as a waste of time.

Yet Julia appears to assume that I lack good skills at doing Energy Clearing. So, then, I’m in urgent need of her advice? Oh, well.

During the New Age Years, I Did Study Energy HEALING

This was during the New Age Years. I could have studied Energy CLEARING, but what I heard of it didn’t impress me. Never did I have a single session of it, let alone studying how to do it, or attempting to do it! I did, however, study some of the leading systems available then for Energy HEALING.

Ask about that if you like, Wisdom Seekers. I can tell you what I studied and why none of the them was what I was looking for. So I kept on expanding the scope of Energy Spirituality® instead.

#10. Julia’s 4th Response to Me on Medium:

Additional Patronizing Praise

Thanks for the thoughtful piece — discernment vs. judgment is such a useful framing.

This token praise may have backfired. Somehow I doubt that Julia King read the article I linked to:

Discernment, Not Judgment. What’s the Diff?

To me, Discernment VERSUS Judgment would be a very different thing, compared to explaining how discernment is good for us. Nonetheless, I’m sure that Julia meant well. What if she had more enthusiasm than time to spread her message? Hey, I’ve been there.

Meanwhile, all you Wisdom Seekers have likely learned useful ideas here today. Including the consequences of sticking to a once-trendy skill (Energy Clearing), even though by now it has Low Truth Value.

#11. In Conclusion

Oops, Standing Counts

What are your takeaways from today’s article, Wisdom Seeker?

You’ll gain more personally after reading any article by asking-and-answering that question.

In addition, by responding here with your takeaways, your learning will take flight in this world, bringing good things to yourself and others.

Personally, I have these two takeaways:

Wisdom Seeker, I think it’s really is important to discern the truth value of what you do in life, especially your life work. Truth value is not labeled in obvious ways, like a street sign. So, please, choose wisely. And re-evaluate your choice from time to time.

And, second, standing counts. Although, in fairness, I’ll soon mention two exceptions.

When DON’T We Humans Need Standing?

EXAMPLE 1. If you’re a child, playing at being a doctor or brain surgeon, standing doesn’t count. As a child, you can become an expert at anything instantly. That’s called PLAYING.

Why don’t children usually need standing? Your ideas?

EXAMPLE 2. When you’re back in a Heaven, as you were (I believe) before you began this lifetime, you needed no standing either. Quick as thought, you could manifest anything you chose. No standing needed, none whatsoever.

As an angel in your most recent Heaven, whichever one it was, why didn’t you need standing? Wisdom Seekers, please share your thoughts, opinions, beliefs?

Except for These 2 Exceptions, It’s Wise to Use the Standing You’ve Earned

Wisdom Seeker, you do that, don’t you? Again, please share your thoughts and feelings, your experience.

And thanks for sharing today’s adventure in discernment.conclusion
