Spiritual Self Protection And Clearing
February 26, 2009 by akemi · 20 Comments

It’s a sad fact that there are negative energies and darkworkers. How can we, lightworkers, take care of ourselves? I’ve thought a lot about this for myself and for my Akashic Record Reading clients.
In this article, I will show you one way to disallow negative forces to come in contact with you. I also want to explain how it fits in relation to my professional Akashic Record Reading and clearing work. Further, the article contains some Dos and Don’ts in energetic self protection.

Akashic Record Reading and clearing
First, let me use an analogy to explain what I do in my Akashic Record Reading service. I’m like a professional housekeeping / maintenance crew. You sense there is something about your place – on the surface, it looks fine, but it’s making you uncomfortable. You trip often. You cough. You don’t sleep well. Or maybe it’s beyond that – you actually find problems, say a plumbing issue, so you get it fixed, but somehow it’s not quite right. Finally, you decide to get the big professional help.
So I come in and do a thorough check. I find some mess made in this lifetime – some are made by yourself, some were made when your friends came over. I go up in the attic and find a few more problems, like a huge area of mold, from several lifetimes ago. I go down the basement and find a termite hub that is weakening the foundation. Nasty stuffs.
I explain what is going on and how each problem is affecting you. The subfloor is sinking here and that is why you trip. The mold in the attic is causing you cough. Your Reiki healer did fix that plumbing issue, the energetic leak, but the way she did was just to put a patch, so it’s a good idea to repair it properly. And let’s put some protective sealing on the foundation to prevent further damages. . .
Something like that. I check over 70 points in each client’s Akashic Records so I won’t go into too much details, but hopefully this analogy gives some idea what it’s like.
For some energetic issues, I just clear them as I go. For others, I do the initial clearing and then assign clearing homework to my clients to complete it. This is determined by the kind of energetic issue.
So after the reading and clearing, you place is clean. Now it’s up to you what you want to do with it. That is your life. (A small disclaimer here: This doesn’t mean ALL the energetic issues get cleared and the soul is back to its original pristine condition with this Akashic Record Reading, or the first comprehensive profile reading. The first reading takes care of the major issues, which is usually plenty to jump start your life. And if I add any more clearing to the first session, I could be sending my client to healing crisis. Having said this, I do offer follow up reading for those who find it helpful.)
How can lightworkers deal with energetic attacks?
Just like the housekeeping, getting the big professional help is great, but that doesn’t mean the house will stay clean that way. As I said in the beginning, there are negative energies, and you may get their attacks. The sealing works, but I find it works only so much when it’s just left there – we want to activate it.
But then, is it a good idea to just shut down the house to stay clean? I don’t think so. We are here to live, not to stay clean.
It’s also a poor idea to attack back the negative energy. This only feeds darkworkers, which is what they are really after.
What we lightworkers want to do is:
- To be aware of the potential energetic attacks so that we recognize it when it comes.
- To have some tools for spiritual self protection and clearing.
Two kinds of energetic attacks
The energetic attacks can be categorized by where it is coming from, or who is directing the attacks:
- Energetic attacks from incarnated souls (people)
- Energetic attacks from discarnate beings
For #1, the attacker may be someone you know or don’t. Example of the latter includes readers who get upset at what I have to say on this blog to the point they send me bindings or anger spears. Examples of the first include both people you currently have contact with (your family, friends, people at work, etc.) and people you knew before.
And while most attacks come from darkworkers, occasionally lightworkers do attack, too. Aah, tell me about being a human. For this reason, it’s possible you attack yourself.
#2 kind of attacks are a bit hard to explain. There are beings that are not in physical bodies but nonetheless exist. Sometimes they are behind #1 kind of attacks, sometimes they do their own attacks without involving incarnated souls. When it’s the latter kind, it’s pretty hard to detect what is going on.
Recognizing the energetic attacks
Energetic interferences from incarnate souls often come as some forms of psychological manipulation. Pay attention how you feel when you are with that person. Do you feel light, warm, free? Or do you feel bound, dump, heavy?
And keep paying attention how you feel as you go through your day. Eventually this becomes your way of life so you notice when you are anything less than your natural state of being in Divine Love and Light.
And when you do notice you may be getting the influence of dark energies, stop. Now remember it’s no good to talk back or attack back to the offender? This is your time to take care of yourself. Do something nurturing.
The bubbles of spiritual self protection
This is about activating the sealing, or the spheres of protection around us. We have spheres, the concentric bubbles around us that disallow negative energies to come in contact with us. When you have to deal with someone who may be attacking you energetically, visualize these bubbles around you, and keep that person outside. If they try to make their way in, gently hold them where they are, outside the bubbles.
This is so not only when you are near them physically but also when you have mental interaction with them.
For those of you who are not familiar with the spheres of protection, do this visualization:
- Visualize white light coming down from heaven, and it forms a bubble around you.
- Visualize more white light coming down, and it forms the second bubble outside the first one.
- Do this six time, forming six bubbles around you.
- These are gentle shiny bubbles. Love can pass both ways, no problem. Only the negative energy is distracted.
You can do this at the beginning of meditation, too.
Spiritual self clearing
I’ve been working on developing an effective self clearing procedure. I will probably start offering it as a pilot to some of my clients soon. This is especially important to those who have had Ascension soul shift. With the Ascension soul shift, you get a brand new soul with no past life. So it’s critical to care for this soul and keep it in good condition for further spiritual growth.
The point is utilizing your intention in alignment with Divine Love, Light, and Truth, so if you are familiar with prayer request or affirmation, that would work, too. Additionally, Karen Bishop has a lot of suggestions in her great book The Ascension Primer. (She does not use the term soul shift nor spiritual self clearing, but the concepts are the same, or at least they appear to be so to me.)
By the way, did I mention this issue of spiritual self protection and clearing is very close to my own heart? Tell me, if a negative being wants to attack someone, which one do you think would choose:
- Someone who are stuck in the middle of light and darkness, or what Hunter Nuttall calls neutralworker
- Someone who works in the Hall of Akashic Records day in and day out, releasing light from darkness
Duh, of course #2. I know. I am targeted. And I still do it.
The development and self-testing of this spiritual self clearing procedure is taking up so much of my time that I am seriously behind my schedule of doing the readings. I’m so sorry for those in the waiting list. But I believe this work will be in the highest good of all, in the long run. So please bear with me.

How To Find Your Life Purpose Through Your Life Challenges
February 24, 2009 by akemi · 24 Comments

Learning the life lessons through experiences in the physical world has been the big part of our souls’ purpose for millenniums of years. While some souls are graduating from this learning process recently, I know there are many souls who are still working on this level, and I want to help. (Photo by FreeWine)
How our souls choose to learn our life lessons
When a soul is ready to incarnate, it determines a set of life lessons, and then choose the appropriate birth setting for the best learning opportunities. Let’s say the soul wants to learn Abundance. Now which of the following two settings do you think would provide the best learning opportunities?
- To be born to a wealthy family and just accept the abundance there
- To be born to a poor family and build his or her abundance, from rugs to riches
Yes, #2 is more challenging but rewarding. So the courageous soul takes up the challenge.
The trouble is that we forget it when we come to this side of the world. So now you don’t understand why you were born to poverty while plenty of others are born to reasonably wealthy families. As you work your way working full time and taking evening classes, and every time you see other kids buying nice stuffs while you worry about paying the rent this month, you wonder, “Why? Why is life so hard on me?”
The truth is you are right on track.
Let me give you another example of learning Love or Compassion. For the same reason with Abundance, the soul may prefer to be born to a loveless family so they know firsthand what it is like not to have Love and Compassion. So that they can grow up to be the Love to the world.
I don’t think we ever choose to learn something negative like Poverty. We are evolving toward Light.
The pitfall of this “learning by contrast” process
Quite obviously, there is a problem about this learning by contrast process. Because we are so shortsighted in this physical world and because we don’t clearly remember the life lessons we ourselves chose prior to birth, we may grow bitter and give up the learning altogether.
This is very sad. Learning the life lessons is one of the purpose of life. (Life is also about just experiencing this beautiful physical world and expressing our wonderful energy.) There is no point in sulking and wasting our time.
The awareness of one’s own life lessons is probably one of the best gift of my Akashic Record Reading. But you can also find your own life lessons through your life challenges.
5 steps to find your life lesson(s)
You need: a few pieces of paper and a few colored pens, a box of tissues, and some quiet time for yourself.
- On a piece of paper, write down the major challenges in your life. List as many as you want. Some examples may include (but by no ways limited to):
- Were you born to an abusive parent?
- Did your parent die when you were young?
- Were you born with physical limitations?
- Were you born to an average middle class family but somehow had trouble connecting to others?
- Did you repeatedly have trouble with authoritative figures?
- Did you become a parent at very early age?
- Did you want children but somehow could not have one?
- Have you been in abusive relationships?
- Have you been unhappy with your career?
- When you are done with step 1, review your list. Now go deeper. For each challenges, find the quality you have been seeking in each negative situation and write it down in a different color. Connect to your own feeling rather than just jotting down typical answers. This is about YOU. And try to come up with one or up to three words for each challenge.
For example, if you were born to an abusive family, did you want Love? Acceptance? Or maybe it prompted you to seek Autonomy? Did it lead you to Compassion with people, animals, to nature? Or maybe in your special case, it helped you to develop a sense of humor with Lightheartedness?
- Now review again. Does a few word appear repeatedly? Do you see a certain “quality”, a theme that runs through all or most of your challenges? On a second sheet of paper, write down what you think is the main theme, or the life lessons you have been working on.
- Examine the first list of your challenges with this new awareness of your life theme, or life lessons. Do you see how each “negative” situations contribute to the learning of your life lessons? Take your time. This is a critical step that can change the way you see your whole life.
- If you notice a new theme or life lessons emerge from your worksheet, write it down on the second sheet of paper. Repeat step 4 and 5 until you get the “Aha! This is it. This is what my life is about!”
Pay attention to your emotional cues
The bigger the emotional hang-ups are, the more likely it is tied to your life lesson. Is there someone in your life that you feel you can’t forgive? Forgiveness or the quality that person lacked so much may be one of your life lessons. Is there something you accused “God” for? Trust or Openness may be your life lesson as well as the quality that improves that something.
180 degree change in how you see life
When you take the time – and more importantly, the courage – to do this exercise to find your life lessons, something magical happens. Things that bothered you so much stop having the emotional grip on you. You stop going down the roller coaster that is so familiar to you.
Because now you see what you thought to be a horrible drawback in your life is not that at all. They were learning opportunities! And you see it so clearly, not like someone telling you “Well, what did you learn from it?” (Don’t we hate that question.)
People may keep saying unkind words. They may point out you are disabled or been to jail or single or whatever. That may annoy you but heck, you know the truth. (Annoying is annoying. A mosquito is annoying. They don’t send you off the emotional shoot.) You know those people are only talking about their own fear.
Learning the life lessons through positive learning experiences
Further, with the awareness of what your life lessons are, you can attract more positive learning experiences. You don’t have to go through poverty to realize abundance. If that is the case, you have to go bankrupt every few years to learn the life lesson of Abundance. No. You can learn abundance in a more expansive way. In this example, how about expanding abundance beyond the monetary sense? How about doing charity?
By becoming fully aware of your life lessons, you attract more positive learning experiences, which speeds up your learning process. As a group, we humans are finishing up this “learning by contrast” process and becoming more about being. So do work on your lessons and graduate the school of life!
Ascension Soul Shifts Or Walk-Ins
February 22, 2009 by akemi · 22 Comments

This article fist provides the overview of various soul shifts, including what is sometimes called soul walk-ins, and how Ascension soul shifts are different from other kinds of soul shifts. Then it offers updates on Ascension soul shifts. (Photo by Matthew Stewart)
Soul shifts
There are two kinds of soul shifts depending on the logistics of the shifts:
- Ongoing soul shifts
- One-time soul shifts, or walk-ins
Further, #2 one-time soul shifts can be categorized depending on the nature of the soul shifts:
- Reinstatement soul shifts
- Complete possessions
- Placeholder soul shifts
- Special cases such as Pleiadean soul shifts
- Ascension soul shifts
Souls determine who you are, so when the soul shifts, you experience significant changes, such as changes in personality and your taste / preferences of foods, etc. You may also experience physical changes such as allergies or pain (headache, etc) that are associated to one of the soul.
Ongoing soul shifts
Ongoing soul shifts involves two or more souls that come in and out of the body, back and forth. Because a body can house only one soul at any given moment, when a soul makes its way into the body, the soul that has been in there before gets kicked out. With ongoing soul shifts, the previous soul(s) attempt to get back to the body and they do.
This is extremely harmful and confusing both to the person and the people around him or her. Usually one or more of the souls involved are negative souls, or darkworker souls. The frequency of the shifts can vary from, say, daily to monthly or even annually. This soul shifts can be stopped, and it’s a service I offer in my Akashic Record Reading.
I suspect at least some of the psychiatric patients may be suffering from this ongoing soul shift. But ongoing soul shifts don’t necessarily look like psycho – it may be less pronounced as the host may be used to it and may have worked out a way to minimize its effects.
One-time soul shifts – Reinstatement soul shifts
One-time soul shifts are just that – one soul replaces the soul that has been in the body, period. The five categories are about the nature of the shift.
A person can have multiple one-time soul shifts progressively. The difference from ongoing soul shifts is that the previous souls do not get back to the body with one-time soul shifts.
When a soul is ready to incarnate in the physical body, it chooses the birth setting, comes to this side of the world, and starts nurturing the egg. It actually gets in the body at the baby’s first breath. Sometimes, however, another soul (usually a negative soul) pushes aside the soul that has been nurturing the new baby and gets in the body instead.
There are many, many souls hanging around and looking for a nice house – I mean, a body. So although relatively rare, this kind of unfortunate event can happen.
Eventually, the originally intended soul may get a chance to come in the body. I don’t know what enabled the soul to do this. It is not something I can do for my clients, but I get clients who have had this happen before. For these people, their childhood seems like someone else’s childhood. Quite literally, it was.
“Reinstatement” soul shift is a term I just coined. Not sure if the word describes the situation well because the originally intended soul was not quite established in the body – it was nurturing the new baby, but it gets in the body for the first time at the soul shift. So if someone can think of a better term, please let me know.
Complete possessions
While most of the reinstatement soul shifts are about a positive soul getting in or taking over the negative soul, possessions are the other way around – a negative soul takes over the original soul, that are usually positive souls.
When this happens, it is not something I can fix or reverse. I can clear negative entities in partial possession, but once the complete shift happens, whether to a positive or negative soul, then it is done.
Placeholder soul shifts
As I explained above, the soul nurtures the new baby and gets in the body at the first breath. This is a critical and exciting moment for the soul. Some souls, however, step back at this important moment. It suddenly realizes it’s not ready for the challenges of the physical world. Yeah, kind of like someone who doesn’t show up at their wedding.
Because a body can’t live without a soul (the soul is the life energy), this would result in a complete waste. So another soul kindly volunteers to work as a placeholder until the originally intended soul is ready. When it is ready, the transition of soul shift happens.
Both souls are probably positive souls but with different backgrounds. So my clients who have had this kind of soul shift say they went through a significant change at the time.
Special cases of one-time soul shifts
There are other scenarios of the soul shifts. For example, there is a group of souls from the Pleiades. Many Pleiadean souls, however, left Earth recently (by recently I mean the 10 years period starting about 15 years ago ending about 5 years ago). Long story short, those who had Pleiadean souls before are living with another soul after the original Pleiadean souls left.
There are various special cases soul shifts and the Pleiadean soul shifts are just one example.
Ascension soul shifts
Ascension soul shifts are another special kind of one-time soul shifts or walk-ins. I can think of the following points how this is special:
- The new soul (the second soul) is the same kind (same origination and primary training) of the original, first soul.
- The new soul is a brand new soul that came directly from the ether and has no past lives. It is also a very advanced soul.
- The shift is somehow orchestrated. It’s not a haphazard take over nor a replacement of the first soul that was not planned to be there – at least the second soul knows the first soul and walks in when the first soul completes its learning.
- It seems to happen only to adults.
- It seems to be happening to increasingly more people these days. While there were some forerunners in earlier years, it’s happening in big numbers since December 2008. Which makes me think this is to some extent a group action, likely related to planetary shift.
- Some individuals go through successive Ascension soul shifts.
I’ve already wrote about this Ascension soul shift (this is a term I coined, too) and its relation to planetary change that may reach critical mass in 2012, so please read that article.
Potential problems of soul shifts
Even when the soul shift is a positive one in nature, such as the placeholder soul shifts or Ascension soul shifts, there can be problems. The previous souls that have completed their jobs get out of the body but are stuck there, unable to move on to cross over to the other side. This can be really annoying to the new soul in the body. I can clear this and it’s in full alignment with both souls’ highest good.
Ongoing soul shift is also I can take care of in my Akashic Record Reading service, as I mentioned earlier.
I want Ascension!
There are a lot of things I want in life. Nice place to live, a loving boyfriend, great friends, hot sex, plenty of time to relax and enjoy myself. . . but there is nothing I want more than Ascension. More than all of the above combined.
And it’s kind of silly because I don’t know exactly what it’s all about. I just know this is something wonderful. Unprecedented-level wonderful.
It’s not so long ago when I first heard of Ascension, in relation to enlightenment and 2012. Back then, most important thing for me was to complete my life lessons. If I complete my life lessons and die, that’s great, but if I don’t complete them, I’d have to repeat the learning process one more time at another lifetime. That sucks. So I worked on my learning fervently without really thinking what may await me after I complete them. Then I heard of Ascension.
That was like getting the last piece of a puzzle or a key to the next level of journey. All the things I had to go through in this life, all the ups and downs, fell into place. I am ascending, and I am here to help others ascend.
Since I published my first article on Ascension and soul shifting, I have worked with quite a few clients who are going through this process. It’s brilliant.
Free will and our spiritual evolution
There is, however, one thing I want to note for those who are afraid of Ascension. If you absolutely don’t want Ascension soul shifting, I’m sure you can reject it. I know Spirits always respect our free will.
Everyone I know who has had Ascension soul shift were open to spiritual evolution. They may not have been expecting soul shifting because they didn’t even know about the concept, but they were open to all kinds of possibilities.
So please rest assured and stay where you are if that is what you want from the soul level. Each of us is on a unique path, and I, like the great Spirit, respect your free will.
More questions about Ascension soul shifts
1. Isn’t it more appropriate to consider this change as the evolution of the one same soul?
My specialty as a psychic medium (I don’t necessarily like this term – I’m more reliable and real than what you may think as psychics) is to read people’s soul records, called Akashic Records. I can count how many souls are involved in a soul shifting situation, tell you when or how often the shift happens, the characteristics of each soul, etc.
So I know the difference between a single soul’s evolution and soul shifting. It also makes sense to consider this change as soul shifting because then it can explain the problem and its symptoms of the first soul getting stuck, which happens often.
2. Other psychics can’t read me. Why?
The new soul you receive at Ascension soul shift is a very advanced soul, vibrating at very high dimensions. By “very”, I mean the kind of level that I never heard of until this year.
There are a lot of discussions about how many higher dimensions there are and how we can measure them. As an existence living in the third dimensional physical world, this discussion is very tough. So, for now, I’m just accepting what my spirit guides tell me.
What we do know for sure is that a being in higher dimension has no problem accessing and understanding the lower dimensions, but not the other way around. We have no problem understanding the two dimensions of length and width. However, if there were beings that only exist in 2D world, they wouldn’t understand the third dimension of height.
So, a psychic can only read for clients that are vibrating at the same level or lower than herself. If they try to read for clients who are vibrating higher than themselves, well . . . they either don’t understand what they are getting or they don’t get anything. At this point, the honest thing to do is just say “I don’t know”, but many people have problem saying these three little words.
It’s also possible that the psychic is vibrating high enough but doesn’t have the proper frame of reference. We use our existing frame of reference to understand all incoming information, including spiritual messages. So if the psychic doesn’t know about soul shifts or Ascension, she may not understand what she is getting. (And here is me offering the info to all willing individuals. Free and available 24/7 worldwide. How’s that?)
By the way, while we have hard time understanding higher dimensions, it is possible to observe glimpses of the higher dimensions. They are called synchronicities, spiritual revelations, or miracles.
3. How can I have Ascension soul shift?
I don’t know. I don’t think you or I or anyone can cause it. It happens when the timing is ripe.
I assume working on your life lessons and spiritual growth will accelerate the process.
This year, I launched my Spirit Guides Coaching, and so far, all the clients of this program have had Ascension soul shifts during or soon after the course. This makes me think.
And while I can’t make it happen, I can often sense it’s coming. I can say it’s likely to happen in certain timeframe. (Just to be clear, this is not a prediction. Our future depends on our action and free will. I can only say certain likelihood.)
All right, this is all today. Do you have questions about Ascension soul shifts or soul shifts in general? Please let me know in the comment!
