You also will find yourself doing work in Dreamwork, that is, in nightly dreaming.

A few nights ago, I was with my Reiki guides this way working with a woman who had "blocks" in her aura, thought forms that were preventing her from enjoying the blessings that were raining down upon her. She appeared as a luminous egg as beautiful golden drops fell from the sky; but she could receive none of them for the dark forms blocking them in her aura.

I started to clear away the dark forms and my guides said, "No. Work on her feet." Sure enough, as soon as I began working on her feet, opening her connection to Earth energy, the dark thought forms melted away, transmuted by the Earth energy flowing into her aural body, disappearing like morning fog in sunshine, and the blessings were allowed to stream down upon her, to be reflected in her daily life where she could perceive them.

My guide took me to a place where they showed me the Tree of Life -- the energetic source of all being.
It was radiant in white light, dazzling, towering to the heavens. But my guides pointed for me to look below.
There, I saw that the Tree of Life is as tall as it is deep, a perfect mirror above and below.
Just as the branches reach to infinity, so do its roots run deep.
In the center is balance. That is where we belong.
We each are a Tree of Life.
Our roots much reach deep, so that our striving can soar.
The deeper we go, the higher we can reach.

This leads to shielding. In group situations, especially stressful or chaotic ones, no matter how finely we have raised our vibrational level individually, we can "take on" unwanted energy, become confused, even attract negative thought forms in our auras that can lodge there and create conflict in our lives, even illness (dis-ease).
This is especially true for people who have past-life "holes" in their auras where unwanted energy, thought forms, or spiritual intrusions can lodge. None of us is immune, as even with regular energy work, we can be distracted, allowing unwanted energy to enter.

So, whenever I go into group situations (a perfect example is Wal-Mart!), I make sure and shield beforehand and while there.
