Contracts and Connections
Contracts, vows, curses...We make many contracts in our lifetimes. They are not indelible. Karmic 'fate' or an invitation to complete and evolve: we choose how we view them.
Contracts, vows, curses, agreements in any form, are energetic bindings that hold us to our and others’ word until complete. Neither positive or negative, like energy they just are.

Their existence manifests in many ways and can be identified through patterns found in a lifetime where certain events or outcomes keep reappearing.
Relationships
Sometimes there will be what feels like ‘chemistry’, an energetic attraction between two people. This chemistry may draw them into a relationship which then devolves into a challenging situation that has been repeated in many lifetimes. Why would we choose this (because we generally do)? Remember what comes into our awareness while in a physical body, allows us to heal an imbalance. Perhaps we need to forgive someone to be released from the bond. Perhaps we are once again creating an opportunity to choose a different outcome and this healthier choice releases us from needing to repeat it.
Sometimes our agreements are joyful. We may have such an affinity with another soul, that we choose to experience rapture in the physical. Again, there is no ‘good’, there is no ‘bad’, there just ‘is’.
Individual Soul Contract or Divine Blueprint
As our Higher Self, we work closely with our teachers, significant members of our Soul and Star families - who ever is relevant for our soul’s progression in a coming lifetime.
The framework of a life is mapped. Of course we cannot determine how the lifetime will play out because each human has freewill. In a physical body we will be given clues and make choices as best we see fit. Our Higher Self is bound to the contract we create and must work to provide opportunities to align us with our life plan.
It does not matter how much we Egoically wish to ‘take control’ of this life, we cannot override our Divine Blueprint. Notice how someone (we?!) may set goals and seek certain outcomes. If they are not aligned with the individual’s Highest Good they will be redirected through event, circumstance or physical/mental imbalance.
How we choose to deal with these life circumstances is up to us. We can resist our life events, blame others, feel like life is presenting us with a raw deal, think that we have been let down by our guides, our Higher Self guidance, God/Divine will.
Or we can see it as the invitation it is to let something go. To step into flow and move through life with ease and grace, noticing crossroads as opportunities.
Outside of the Known
Sometimes our contracts lie beyond the Quantum Realm. We may have agreements as energy with energy for evolution, etc. An example is the split between light and dark, where we energetically agreed to certain roles to learn about all that is through duality. Through the remembrance of ‘all as one’, we know that we have progressed beyond needing to continue to experience the illusion of separation. This illusion is healed through remembering and applying unconditional love.
‘Alien’ Agreements
There are many instances of agreeing to help progress alien* technologies and understanding of humanity through agreeing to interference/energetic implants/uploads. Again, this is neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’. Some examples of interference are in alignment with a Soul’s purpose int this lifetime. Others are not beneficial or no longer needed and we can release them with awareness.
*By definition, any energetic being not of Earth is ‘alien’ so this is a very broad reference.
Shadow Self
That which we resist is a neon sign directing us to what requires attention. All those qualities you dislike in others? Look again. All the qualities you admire in others? Look again. Again, it is not ‘good’, it is not ‘bad’, it just ‘is’. Our focus is always showing us our inner beliefs and aspects of ourselves that we may not be consciously aware of.
Every part is a part of us - a basic energetic truth - so can we accept others?
Can we accept ourselves?
It is a given that millions of people on this planet will have different opinions. How can we align ourselves with it just ‘is’?
It is a given that millions of people on this planet will have different opinions. How can we align ourselves with it just ‘is’? We achieve this by releasing judgment. They, as we, have chosen a range of experiences that will assist with their growth and/or evolution. To achieve this they have energetically sought other souls who will also evolve from their participation in any given experience. All we do is connected and contributes to Mass Consciousness - the vibration of all that is. There are no mistakes.
Boundaries and No Resistance
We need experiences to evolve. Our hurt Ego sometimes wants us to retract or retaliate to avoid further experiences that will trigger pain. The truth is, we don’t need to avoid pain, the fact that we feel it shows us that it is trapped within. We need to acknowledge the pain, the sadness, the grief, the overlaying anger, allow it to flow through our bodies and out. Then we can apply our logic to discern the opportunity. Are we being invited to choose something better? To say ‘no’? To step away and allow others to have the experience they need? To remember the Divine flow of unconditional love that is ours and allow ourselves to trust?
Forgiveness
If we are the creators of our lives - and we are - who do we need to forgive for playing the roles we asked others to play to assist with our or their evolution?
Read that again.
Applying a hefty dose of unconditional love and forgiveness IS the antidote to our ills.
It is also the step needed to be the magnificent, loving creators that we are, able to create a life of joy regardless of where we are at in our life journey.
Healing Contracts that No Longer Serve
Sometimes all we need is greater understanding. And sometimes we just need a salt bath!
When we no longer dodge our feelings and allow ourselves to explore our experiences with a non-judgmental gaze, we come to know ourself. This can often be all that is required to restore balance. Below are some suggestions for clearing if you feel you need more than your understanding:
Visualise your contract. Applying forgiveness and unconditional love, ‘see’ yourself including an end date that concludes with a particular lifetime, or imagine yourself drawing a line through a specific item or giving it a big ‘tick’.
Draw your energetic sword and send energy outwards into all connections that no longer serve. Visualise these connections filling with Divine energy, repairing imbalances and then severing connections that no longer serve.
**Complete the associated meditation - Releasing Unhealthy Energetic Connections in the Energy Matters podcast.**
A head-to-toe salt bath (2 cups of epsom salts per bath - check for allergies first); a salt scrub, a dip in the ocean.
Declare your agreement with non-human beings ended. State: I invoke the prime directive of non-interference and command all energetic interference be withdrawn and returned to Source. As a sentient being I invoke my right to freewill and end all agreements, effective immediately. And so it is.
Give it to Mother Earth. With shoes off, imagine roots growing from your feet deeply into the Earth. Visualise this connection wrapping around Her core and drawing up her healing, restoring balance at every energetic point connected to you.Dance. Visualise imbalance whirling away from your body with each twirl and sway.
Hug a tree. Step into a tree’s energy and ask it for healing. They are powerful conduits between heaven and earth.
Write it down. Journal your understanding and then burn it to release.
Trust your feelings. Allow yourself to know what feels right for you to restore harmony.
Close a door if needed - holding tightly to relationships that are no longer serving your highest good, counters flowing with ease and grace. Trust that if you let go, and it is meant to be, the relationship will resolve. And if not, it isn’t meant to be at this time. Remember, as we close off a door, we stop sending our energy in that particular direction and create an energetic gap. This is likened to a door opening and allows new possibilities in. Oh the possibilities in change!
Give your worries to the Angelic Realm. Ask your guardians to intercede and resolve the issue - then see the entire experience filled with love, trust in them and let it go.
Seek support - see an Energy Therapist or counselor if needed. Sometimes those who love us are too close to be able to offer the insight we need (which is always to go within, by the way!).
A Healthier Perspective on Guilt
What if we hurt other’s feelings?
When we operate from love, love of ourselves and love for others who are an extension of ourselves, we understand that other’s feelings are none of our business. I don’t mean that unkindly. Remember that our feelings are our road map to our ‘work’. It doesn’t make sense to block a path, if the path is what is needed to evolve.
Supporting others to not FEEL a certain way by modifying our behaviour is interference on a grand scale. When we seek to soften their experiences even if we do this because we fear the consequences, we dim the very tool that is guiding them for their greatest good - their FEELINGS.
Step away and focus on creating harmony within yourself. That is your greatest gift to yourself, to your children who are learning by observing you, and to all of existence, the energetic whole that you and every one of us is part of.
Infinite grace is yours for the accepting, dear ones.
