Quotes by Elaine Seiler
Elaine Seiler's insights on:
While science is now moving closer to documenting the effects of other-dimensional realities, even with the best technology in the world today, science can only observe effects, not the reality itself.
You can awaken the energy worker in you; you can become an energy worker. Such a person uses his or her body to clear, balance and harmonize the unseen energies of the Universe. Those energies come from beyond the third dimension and use the physical body as the instrument through which to facilitate the greatest good for the greatest number of beings and the planet.
From time to time the by-products of using your inner energy worker will result in your experiencing odd sensations, seeming illnesses, unusual pimples or rashes, and unexpected emotional responses. Remember - these physical and emotional reactions are the by-products of the work you are doing. Release your anxiety over their occurrence and remind yourself they will be short-lived, do not reflect an aging or ill body, but are rather normal responses of a reflective energetic being.
When you dream, ask yourself about the energetic as well as the psychological messages.
In the newly evolving multi-dimensional world, we are all one and we are one with our environments.
THE BODY, IN AND THROUGH WHICH WE BREATHE, move, communicate and reproduce is an amazing instrument in many varied physical ways.
I believe that every individual has an inner energy worker, however each worker may do the work differently. Each of us has unique skills and abilities. In this section you will begin to identify your unique capabilities.
