The White Light Caper

You’re spiritual, you’ve got a practice that you’ve developed over time, combining skills and tools you’ve learned from workshops, your readings, perhaps including well-intentioned teachings from a yoga teacher or Reiki Master or other healing practitioner. Is one of the tools in your toolkit using white light? What do you know about white light and its properties?

Wisegeek.com says:

“White light is the name given to what the human eye sees when all the colors that make up the visible light spectrum are combined. The visible light spectrum is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light. When white light is shined through a prism, it is broken into these separate colors of the visible light spectrum. Most people commonly refer to white light simply as “light.”… Although it is a less common definition of the term, some holistic healers refer to “white light” as a part of the universe that stores all positive energy.”

Energetically, white light is the highest frequency we can engage. In spiritual traditions, white is often a symbol of purity, of God or god-self.  Think angels, doves, the robes worn by initiates in some spiritual traditions. While it’s true that God (or Source) is within, white light is a frequency that is a little higher than the human body can absorb while remaining grounded, centered and embodied.

As a conscious channel, I learned to consciously engage white or silver light as the frequency to match to enable channeling to occur. During channeling, the ‘host’ merges an aspect of consciousness with the entity or energy being channeled. Following the channeling session, the white or silver light is disengaged and replaced with a stream of gold energy – the energy of the Cosmos.

When white or silver light is used as part of the energies used for living life, you know, setting the table, feeding the dogs, going to work, self-care or sent to help or as an aid for others, it’s a frequency that tends to disembody, disengage rather than embody or engage.

Whenever someone sources white or silver light, the grounded self dissipates, and a floaty, wafty sense emerges. Not conducive for getting things done, or remaining present.

Energy Healing Institute attracts channels – it’s a vibration thing! Sometimes channels don’t realize that they’re seeking  grounding, energetic self-care, and other consciousness-related skills. As channels find their embodied awareness, their worlds open to them in new and empowering ways.

To a person, the channels who have learned to use gold light in replacement of white light for their embodied life find themselves more focused, clear, grounded, settled, consistent, stable and productive.

But here’s the kicker, there’s all kinds of spiritual hoo-ha floating around online and in programs, books and videos. Purple swords of truth, yellow flames of justice – all kinds of concepts that may well represent a potentiality – truth and justice really are good things, yes?

Yet unlike what you might find online or in workshops, sending others white light is the antithesis of what you should be doing.  When you send white light to someone struggling with an illness or emotional pain, its high frequency disembodies, disconnects the individual from conscious awareness. That’s probably not what you mean to do. But if it’s an unintended consequence, it doesn’t much matter. The person seeking healing does so when he or she is in her body, embodied, present, self-aware.

If you need to send someone light, (because they’ve requested it, not because you think it’s a good idea or will be helpful), consider the neutral, gold, sparkling, vibrant, light of the Cosmos.  It’s the highest vibration energy any human body can run and remain embodied.

Thank you for stepping out of the white light caper and joining the embodied light brigade.
