Today, one of my favorite mentors, Randy Gage talked about Sacred Circles. It´s not a term I hear others use often so it immediately got my attention.
I use the term “Sacred Circle” in the healing work that I do with my clients to refer to the group of people around you physically AND energetically. Most people have allowed a lot of what I would call riff-raff into their Sacred Circle. My role is to energetically clear it out. Your job is to physically remove it.
I see your Sacred Circle as the physical space around you that is yours and yours alone. We usually feel uncomfortable when we have people stand too close to us. It´s why you´ll notice that people in an elevator all move to the four corners and stand as far apart as possible. We like “our space”.
When I energetically clear out Sacred Circles, I am often sending out, (sometimes kicking and screaming), parents, old girlfriends, boyfriends, ex-marriage partners, old friends, school teachers, work mates, bosses and siblings and just about everybody you have ever come into contact with. They have become like a parasitic energy on you which is why you will feel loaded down, heavy, or no energy. You are unable to truly create a magical life because of this weight you carry on your shoulders. Know what I am talking about?
Especially as you move ahead in your magical, mystical journey of self-development and personal growth, friends and family can become disenchanted with you leaving them behind. They´ll feel abandoned and all of those victim mentality emotions will arise. They may even try and persuade you or “guilt you” into letting them hang onto you like a flea on a dog.
This can be especially challenging with marriage mates. Sometimes, the reality of the journey is that one person moves ahead and the other doesn´t. No amount of prodding, cajoling, nagging or genuine love will move their rear into taking responsibility for creating their life. That is the ultimate test of how much you want to create the life you really want. Leaving loved ones behind is not fun but at times it is absolutely necessary.
I believe that your Sacred Circle, that sacred space around you should be clear of everyone at an energetic level. You should be all alone in that circle with just the Universe supporting you. You need to develop that connection with whatever you call God and make it strong and firm. You do that best without the influences of everyone around you. It takes time to build your spiritual resevoir of faith and you don´t need everyone clamoring for your energy, sucking your time, and foisting their negativity onto you.
It doesn´t mean that you aren´t in community with other spiritually minded people who support you, love you and respect you. It simply means you are not affected, swayed or drained by their presence in your life. People need to be a deposit in your life rather than a constant withdrawal.
Your Sacred Circle is exactly that. Sacred. Treat it as such. Look at who is in your life physically and energetically. If you are still talking about an old boyfriend or what your Mom did to you when you were six years old or the miserable boss you had 10 years ago that cheated you out of the promotion, then those people are energetically in your Sacred Circle. Let them go. Forgive them. Release them and move on. It´s the only way you can create the life you want.

So so true Jan and what a wonderful reminder to us all! I am sure we all have had situations where people and events in our past still hold a place in our current life – I know I have! Wouldn’t we all be a lot better off by putting these things in a bubble and blowing it away! Forgive and move on. It isn’t easy, but it is necessary and it is on going. Perhaps we are all “work in progress”! So here is one person who this weekend will spend some time on her Sacred Circle!
