These are terms from my shamanic world. What are they about?
Basically, it's about disregarding the boundaries of others, transgressing them and causing harm or injury in the process. Whether consciously or unconsciously makes no difference to me. In my view, awareness of any kind is always interested in growing, becoming stronger, bigger.
There are now two ways to do this:
One is to consciously embark on the path of self-awareness. The endeavor to grow from within. To be the sower of the seed, the seed, the fertilizer, the care and growth of the plant and the plant itself. To surrender to the flow of being, to learn to know oneself and the universe. To gratefully accept these treasures of the hidden (which are not so hidden) and to grow from them.
The other possibility is to draw strength from other people, even to steal parts of their soul. This usually happens by trying to compensate for one's own deficits.
We humans do not only consist of a physical body. We are also surrounded by an etheric body with energy centers. We are also soul and spirit.
There is a constant transfer between us humans on levels that are not always visible. Many threads of energy leave our shell. Connections to other living beings. Through the emotional conditioning that shapes us all, we have our issues. Issues that create a bridge on an emotional level, an access to our energy field. There are often major or minor traumas behind them.
Parts of our soul have split off in order to protect themselves. These healed parts of the soul have fled. They have fled into a world that is often imperceptible to us in order to hide. They want to ensure their survival. Such soul parts can also be stolen and this creates "holes" in our energy field. This free space is a direct access point for other people or foreign energies to dock onto us.
Access to it is exclusively through our emotions. Both in the case of power theft and soul theft, as well as in the case of occupations, the docking of foreign energy to our organism.
Let's stay with power theft: we can all sense when it happens. We meet a person. Suddenly we feel unwell. We feel sick, we get a nauseous feeling, headaches, dizziness or tiredness occur. We feel drained of energy. We get cold, etc. These can all be symptoms of assault. People do not necessarily have to meet directly. This can also happen over long distances. Connections that are maintained over thousands of kilometers of physical separation.
It goes one step further with soul theft, which often takes place between people who are very close to each other. It is not uncommon between parents and their children. Unfortunately, children are very easy victims, helpless and with no chance of defending themselves. But soul stealing also often occurs in partnerships. Parts of the soul are stolen and dependencies are created as a result. An attempt to compensate for one's own weaknesses. This usually happens unconsciously.
When I work with my clients, those affected are very shocked when they realize this. They usually let go immediately and give these parts back. Many of the 'perpetrators' were and are usually victims of such assaults themselves.
However, these phenomena can also be observed physically. People who are energetically abusive very often do not respect the boundaries of others physically either. They feel like victims and unfortunately overlook their own behavior. Project their own inadequacy onto others.
We can reflect very well on our (inner) world in the mirror of the (outer) world. By observing without judgment, we learn a great deal about ourselves and our being.
By working through our own emotional past, detaching ourselves from the old and finding our true being, our actual self, we become increasingly stable and unassailable to the weaknesses of others and to destructive energies.
