Schizophrenia is traditionally defined as the inability to determine what is real from what is imaginary and carries with it symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions and psychedelic dreams. It is a disease that has baffled Western medical professionals. The professionals have yet to determine a specific cause or find a cure, Schizophrenia is a mystery. Society, with no real understanding of the disease, tends to be fearful of those suffering from Schizophrenia. As a result, society shoves those suffering from the disease into a box to be controlled, suppressed, and ignored. One of the options for treatment currently available is to medicate with strong anti-psychotic drugs, usually for the rest of their lives. Some of side effects of these medications resemble the symptoms of the disease itself and, in some cases, have been known to cause death. Another option for treatment, for some, is to institutionalize Schizophrenics. Even with institutionalization society shuns the facility and its patients – one might hear people cruelly say that’s the place for “crazy people” and “stay away from there”. However, those suffering from Schizophrenia do not have to be misunderstood and feared, there is new hope.

An alternative way to view Schizophrenia is to look at the person at a soul level. It is to step back and look at the symptoms from an energetic perspective. Energy that cannot be measured scientifically, but only recognized, felt and experienced, and released or let go when no longer useful for the highest purpose of the soul. In simple terms, energy exists everywhere in high and low vibrations. In higher forms it is love and compassion. In lower forms, it is fear, insecurities and judgment. When one lives in life in the moment and with love and compassion, the lower vibrational energies seem inconsequential. They melt away in the power of the higher, light energy. In applying this soul, energetic view of the Schizophrenic where light energy is brought in and lower vibrational energy is released, new doors are opened with unlimited possibilities and there are new ways to understand the disease.

To first understand Schizophrenia from this perspective, it is vital to realize that Schizophrenics are highly intelligent and extremely gifted. They have a unique ability to connect endless amounts information, energy, in their psyche with great rapidity. When this connection is made aware, harnessed and used with an understanding and acceptance, then the gifted genius within flourishes. However, when there is a lack of understanding of this energy and no place for it in the conscious mind, the overload of information becomes fearful and confusing for the very one hearing the voices or seeing the scenes. With no logical conclusion or explanation for these things, the person continues the cycle of fear and confusion. Thus trapping this gifted soul into the darkness and heaviness of what is termed Schizophrenia. 

Furthermore, the Schizophrenic can also draw towards themselves information and energy of all sorts from their environment and experiences. As one can imagine, this would only add to the already enormous amount of activity that exists within the minds of those suffering from Schizophrenia. What they need is a tool to decipher the information. The piece they are also missing, is not what the voices in their head say or a logical explanation of the visions or psychedelic dreams for which they are almost demeaned, but rather an outlet for channeling this information that exists within their minds, around themselves or from others. They are missing the tools for releasing or letting go of this information. This is where the Lightworker may be of assistance to help untangle and offer clarity to the intricate web of voices and visions that consume the minds of Schizophrenics. 

A Lightworker has a great capacity for seeing and knowing and also shares the great intelligence and awareness of their creativity. However, they are able to connect these gifts with an understanding and a lightness that others perhaps, may not. They too, attract all sorts of information of all levels but they have developed awareness and can recognize that what they see or hear is merely something that resides in them and not a part of them. And, Lightworkers can choose to separate from energies within themselves and release them. They can also assist others in this process as they have an expansive, unlimited understanding of all energy. 

So, to delve into the concept of energy more, the physical body is a holding tank, a vessel, for energy – every cell of the body holds energy. Every memory, every situation, every moment is held consciously or subconsciously within the body unless it is given the opportunity to be released. Sometimes, the energy may be something from an old trauma ranging from simple things like being called names as a child to more traumatic things as being sexually abused. Other times, it may be energy drawn towards the vessel from others and attaching to something already within the vessel such as guilt or jealousy. It may even be energy pulled across multiple dimensions. The way the energy has been brought to the vessel and whether it is held consciously or subconsciously, does not matter, even in the cases of Schizophrenia. What does matter is it is there. The question that remains is, is it still useful for the soul? 

In relation to Schizophrenia, energy has manifested or surfaced in the psyche. It has done so because the Schizophrenic, with their extraordinary ability to connect information and be open to energy of all forms, has the capacity to and has created an open way of communication. It does not matter whether or not they are consciously aware of this capacity or if they even believe that this open communication exists, the capacity is there and energy senses it. These open ways of communication are like portholes or channels. The trick is to recognize these channels and develop tools for deciphering the information, for determining what is real and for releasing the energy that is no longer useful. 

To further relate Schizophrenia to energetic terms, it is necessary to take energy a step beyond what might be considered a common definition of the term and define energy that becomes Miasmic energy. Miasms are energies that once served great purpose and great protection but the person’s soul has outgrown the need for the protection. The soul, for whatever reason, has not been able to release the energy so it lingers in the vessel possibly surfacing in any number of ways (in the physical body, emotional body, spiritual body or astral body). It’s a person’s “stuff” or “baggage” that is ultimately blocking the person from attaining personal growth – it is an energetic weight or heaviness, pulling one down or holding one back. 

A key difference for Miasmic energy versus other energy and what is also helpful for understanding Miasms and Schizophrenia is that Miasms have intelligence. It may seem incomprehensible that energy could possess intelligence. But it does. Miasmic energy draws intelligence from the vessel itself merely because of where it sits in the psyche. Miasmic energy scans all the secrets a person has and what bothers a person the most – it knows one’s deepest, darkest fears and knows how to bring these fears forth into any situation, even if it’s not really a fearful or threatening situation. It locates something in the psyche like phrases, scenarios, beliefs or feelings. It chooses those things in the psyche to which it relates and chooses those things it feels it can have an effect and attaches to them, replays and magnifies it. In doing so, it has created for itself a somewhat denser or more permanent existence in the vessel and it has created more fears from which to draw. This process is actually like food for the Miasm, food that insures that the Miasm continues to have purpose in the vessel. 

Fear tops the list of food for a Miasm. Fears keep people from moving on; they keep people from doing new things or changing things in their lives for the better. They create opportunities for the soul to seek out more protection that further buries the fear within the psyche. The person, at some level, is comfortable being in the state of fear, because that is what they have become accustomed, that is where they feel safe. Some people can live complete lives being in this state, others, have a soul that urns for more. Their soul has outgrown this fear and the fear no longer is comfortable in the vessel as its purpose is dissolving. It then becomes seen in either a physical way (i.e. ticks or twitches), an emotional way (i.e. crying or depression) or in an altered state as a dream of some sort. These are ways in which the Miasm will surface. 

Schizophrenia is a characteristic that a Miasm is present and on the surface. With Schizophrenia there is no place for the voices or visions in the psyche because it is traditionally believed that nothing of the sort is acceptable, so fear is created – the fear that these voices or visions are wrong or bad. But the voices and visions keep coming and they are further suppressed by the additional fear of their existence. This is the fundamental pattern of Miasmic energy. It is in the release of Miasms that the Schizophrenic may begin to discover areas of strength and personal power that have been covered by the darkness of the symptoms of Schizophrenia. 

A Lightworker trained in Miasm Release Therapy (MRT) can assist a person suffering from Schizophrenia to release Miasms by offering a safe space filled with unconditional love and trust. It is in this space where the person’s soul is given an opportunity to let go or release whatever it has outgrown. The layers of fear associated with symptoms of Schizophrenia can be peeled away creating an open space that is filled with the new light energy of pure unconditional love. It is pushing away the heaviness of the energies associated with Schizophrenia and filling with love and light. In this clearing of this heart and mind with MRT sessions, the Schizophrenic may begin to view their energetic awareness differently and to clear the confusion in the mind. Ultimately it gives the Schizophrenic great personal power and an opportunity to experience some sense of hope, peace, clarity and lightness.
