Is your relationship with the people around you doing you any good? Anytime you feel unloved, unappreciated, or if there are unforgiving and resentful people to you, just cut the cord. You can break the habit of dysfunctional and toxic relationships by healing your energetic connections. Choose the people that you want to exchange energy with so that you'll have the best relationships. Listen to this episode to learn what you can do about keeping your energy clear and focused so you can have the best relationships. You exchange energy during every conversation and interaction with someone, done with looks, posture, words, thoughts, and emotions. It mixes with your frequency, causing either harmony or chaos. Imagine that you interact with several people in a day or hour, and you've got all that energy mixed into yours. Here are the 3 points covered in this episode: The Primary Ways of Exchanging Energy How to Heal your Energetic Connections What you can do to protect yourself from Reinfection of Toxic Relationships If you are empathic or sensitive and are unaware of keeping your energy intact, you probably feel drained. There are two primary ways you exchange energy: one is near field interactions, and the other is distance interactions. They each operate by a slightly different set of rules. Picture this scenario: You meet with your critical mother, and she says that if you had tried harder, your marriage wouldn't have crumbled. If you buy into that idea the least little bit, your energy is knocked off of you, and she scoops it up in her self-righteousness. Critical parents are a whole other topic, but suffice it to say, they don't have to say much to bring you into this sort of dynamic with them. It could be just the look at the dress or suit you are wearing, and you feel the criticism. You basically crumple. This is what falls under the category of distance interaction. It can be done in person or by phone. They don't have to be in proximity to you to feel the effects. This process is called cording, which is a line of energy between you and another person. You can exchange energy this way. It is the primary way we exchange love energy, which is the only healthy energy exchange. There is scientific evidence that this kind of interpersonal energy exchange happens. Experiments show the energy field around the critic grows while that of his/her victim shrinks. You might even call the person drawing off your energy an energy vampire. They are not aware they are doing it because they've been allowed to and gotten away with it for so long. It has been their means of survival. You have to teach them a new way of interacting with you. What happens after that is that your relationship shifts towards the positive, or they move on. It's a win-win situation and worth the effort. How do you heal your energetic connection? The first step is to reclaim your energy back while releasing theirs. The next step is to sever the unhealthy connections. Steps to help you heal your energetic connections to change who you attract You have been given labels, many of them not so flattering, by others. You've taken them on. The labels or name-calling can't affect you if you let the criticism fall off you like you're made of Teflon. One of the ways I cleared the labels was to write each label on a piece of paper and put them in a gift box. Incompetent, lazy, selfish, bitch, stupid, dimwitted. When I was done with it, I put a label on the box and a bow around it. The label was to the person who “gifted” me with the labels. I then burned the box and let the spirit take it away. I then made a list or inventory of positive qualities and reclaimed my power. I went out into my backyard after a noxious conversation with my mom, who criticized the way I was raising my children. I got one of those dandelion weed pullers and jabbed each weed out of my backyard as if it were one of those critics. I did it with relish: “Get out of my head, I am not listening to it, take that feeling and take that label of out my body. Get this fury away from me. I don't need to live with you. How dare you say I'm not taking good care of my children.” I wrote journals in the morning, writing all my feelings down on paper right after I awoke. I just kept writing and writing until I ran out of things to say. Some days it would be 20 minutes and others it would be 90. I just kept going until the maelstrom in my head calmed down, and I could think clearly. I had a lot going on, and I'd even make a list of what I needed to get done that day. I took a plastic baseball bat to my pillow and started a dialog with it as if I were talking to my mom. I had buried so much anger deep inside me that it needed to come out. I pounded that pillow with all my strength and anger that had been buried for so long. “How could you send me into the world defenseless? I needed to be able to get angry, but instead, I buried it. So, take that and that. I need to get angry. It's okay to get angry. Anger is a defense. I needed to know my boundaries were violated. I had to be allowed to be human, and I wasn't. “ After the last, my voice changed, and I changed. I became more real and more open. I didn't hide anymore. I was no longer anchored to my two worst critics, my mom and my ex-husband. To protect yourself from the reinfection of this relationship, keep cutting down on your energetic cords to sever them. Just cut the cord every time you think of them or every time you get angry or feel sad. They are calling you back into the fold, and you are drawing them back with thoughts of them. These steps go a long way to reclaiming your strength, and I'll be you have your processes, whether it's writing, physical exertions, screaming, or a combination of all of them. Last, there is an energy exchange process called soul retrieval in the shamanic system. You can experience this in the 5 step relationship healing program at https://scientifichealer.com/relationship. When Sue when through this program, she had a very difficult relationship with her sister: What happens with sisters collide: Sue had two sisters, Jo and Maryann. One was loving and supportive, while the other was contentious. When the extended family got together every December for the holidays, family members dreaded the inevitable discomfort between Sue and Maryann. Maryann, the younger one, was totally touchy with anything Sue had to say, while Sue didn't understand what she said that was so upsetting. It was one of those vicious cycles with no beginning and no end. Sue gave Maryann's energy back and reclaimed her own in Step 2 of the program last November. She went home to the dreaded Christmas family get-together to find that Maryann was receptive, easy-going, and even laughed with her older sister. Jo was shocked at this development, as were the rest of the family members. Sue came back to thank me for this process and how it healed her whole family. You can claim this program for free at https://scientifichealer.com/relationship Next time, you'll hear about healing the near field interactions Standout Quotes: “The labels or name-calling can't affect you if you let the criticism fall off you like you're made of Teflon.” “I wrote journals every morning because I was going through a lot of turmoil during my divorce. I just kept writing whatever came into my thoughts.” “It's okay to get angry. Anger is a defense. I needed to know my boundaries are violated.” “Any of the feelings that are down at the bottom of the scale; just cut the cord and let that go.” “Just keep cutting your Cords.” Key Takeaways: You've been given a lot of labels. Many of them are not so flattering by those people that have sapped your strength. And you've taken them on. You can recover your energy once they're released. If you become upset, it's as if somebody stole all your energy out of you. Your thoughts would swirl around and around in your head, and wouldn't be able to get anything done. Releasing the anger quickly is the best remedy. You know when you have a lot of anger inside you because it can either wreak havoc on your body or make you miserable. You do not want to reconnect with someone you feel is not forgiving, loving, or even appreciative. Cut the cord to anyone who you feel a low energy emotion around. You can cut the “cords” anytime you get a negative feeling towards a person. You can disconnect from people that are unforgiving, unloving, etc. Episode Timeline: [02:30] Exchanging Energy with Others[03:27] The Process of Cording[04:33] The Energy Vampire[05:29] How to Heal Energetic Connections[06:42] Clearing and Releasing Labels[08:06] Listing Positive Qualities[10:31] Writing Journals[11:26] Releasing Anger[13:39] Protecting Yourself from Reinfection of Any Relationship[14:39] Reclaiming your Strength using your own Processes[15:39] Soul Retrieval If this content was helpful, please give a thumbs-up rating and subscribe to my channel.

We continue with part 2 of the brave Sue Loncar ........ In this episode we learn all about who Grace Caroline Loncar was, the gifts she has and the purpose and legacy in her name. "This little girl has a purpose - I am going to name her Grace" Sue Loncar said when she found out that she was pregnant with her. She says the only way for her to survive Grace's death is to believe that she has not lost Grace and that she is still her mother and will be reunited with her. She feels that Grace is guiding and comforting her and that Grace wants Sue to help other people with her story. Sue tells us all about how Grace was as a little child. From her mature nature and wicked sense of humor, to her enormous talent and how she was always glued to her side. All the siblings spoiled Grace - she was the baby of the family. But Grace suffered from depression and had 2 prior suicide attempts, one at the age of 9 years old. Grace was super creative and very close to her Dad, very much a Daddy's girl and preferred to be at home. Grace was never bullied, very popular and had an extreme compassionate heart for others and a real champion for the underdog. She took on the wounded people and especially after her death many stories came to light of how much she had done for others. She was encouraging and befriended everyone. Her strongest suit was her capacity to feel which was a double edged sword for her. Sue feels that she never knew how tortured Grace was inside and the amount of self loathing and the warfare that was going on in her mind that depression brings on - where you body wants to go on living but your mind tells you NO. Brian relapsed for 2 years and left when Grace was a preteen. He had gone to rehab and Sue and Brian were trying to get back together. Sue believed that Brian could get back to who he was before his relapse. He had already done it once and was sober for 23 years. Family meant everything to Grace and it motivated Sue to give it another try. Grace wanted the whole family intact and even created a book that she titled "My family" where every family member got their own page and artwork. The night Grace committed suicide she had gotten in trouble, grounded and her phone taken away. When Sue and Brian woke up in the morning they found Grace dead from a self inflicted gun shot wound and Brian died 6 days later on an accidental drug overdose. He couldn't handle the pain. There is no question that Brian loved Grace with every fiber of his being. Brian was bipolar and Sue wonders if Grace was also bipolar. Sue says she had been trying to save Grace and Brian for years - she was on a rescue mission. We find out how the other children were impacted and coping with these tragedies. The 2 deaths caused a downward spiral through the whole family. When someone commits suicide everybody feels like it is their fault and they could have done something. It is the worst death imaginable. Sue says her only consolation is that she knows that Grace knows how much she loved her. but love is not enough, Love will not save a depressed person. ............................to be continued https://www.graceloncarfoundation.com/

GUEST BIO: Dr. Sue Black is an award-winning Computer Scientist, Technology Evangelist and Digital Skills Expert.  She is a professor in the department of Computer Science at Durham University, a government advisor, thought leader, writer and public speaker. Sue was awarded an OBE for services to technology in the 2016 Queen’s New Year’s Honours list. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s show is Dr. Sue Black. She has worked in the IT field for nearly 25 years, primarily in education-related roles. However, she has also been heavily involved in other projects and roles. For example, she is a UK Government advisor, a technology columnist for The Guardian, the founder of techmums. Up until 2011 she ran the campaign to save Bletchley Park. Sue is currently a Professor of Computer and Technology Evangelist for Durham University. In 2016, she was awarded an OBE for services to technology and, in 2017, won the Social Impact Abie Award. She is also a well-known tech conference speaker. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (1.03) – So Sue, can I ask you to expand on that brief intro and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Sue explains that she left school at 16 but did not go back into education until she was 26, when she took a maths course. From there, she became a full-time student. She left university with a PhD in software engineering. From there she became a full-time lecturer at senior, then principle, level. Fairly quickly, she became the head of department at the University of Westminster. In November 2018, she became the Professor of Computer Science and Technology Evangelist at Durham University, her dream job. Sue, mentions that she has” done a few things outside of that”, which is actually a bit of an understatement. She is and has been heavily involved with a wide range of tech projects and initiatives. (2.07) – What particularly excited you about working in the field of education? The fact that education changed Sue’s life so much has been a big inspiration for Sue. When she took her maths course she was a 26-year-old single mum. She had realized that if she went back to work she could not even earn enough to pay for childcare. This realization led her to go back into education. Plus, she has always had a curious mind and loved learning. She loves learning and really enjoys helping people to understand the world of technology. Sue finds it to be a wonderful thing. (3.28) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience, something that perhaps they should know? Twenty-one years ago Sue set up a network for women in technology. Chairing that group taught Sue the true value of connecting with other people. She knew it was important, but, over the years has seen just how effective it is. When you talk to people you like and who you share similar or connected interests with, a whole new world opens up. Of course, you talk to each other about what you are doing, discuss ideas and get feedback. But, something else also happens. Your work starts to become known. If you are networking with people within your company as well as outside the understanding of what you do and your true value increases. Getting a promotion becomes a lot easier. Plus, importantly, networking helps you to make good friends. (4.53) – Please, tell us about your worst career moment and what you learned from that experience. When Sue was doing her PhD, she hadn’t backed up things properly and ended up losing 3 months worth of work. Naturally, she was devastated. She was also too embarrassed to tell anyone. It took her close on a month to come to terms with what she had done and a further 2 months to catch up. The whole experience shook her and it was several more months before she was able to get properly up to speed. That was a harsh way to learn the importance of backing things up. Now that everything is in the cloud Sue says that you do not have to worry so much. You just have to remember to set up anything stand up like Word to save every 30 seconds or so. (6.39) – Phil asks Sue to share her greatest career moment. Winning the Social Impact Abie Award from the technical women’s community at Grace Hopper Celebration was Sue’s greatest moment. As a computer pioneer Grace Hopper is definitely someone to look up to, so it was a great honor to be chosen. Giving a speech to 17,000, mainly female, computer science graduates from across the world was an amazing experience. It gave Sue the chance to share a bit of her story, the struggles as well as the success. The sheer scale of the event and the fact that most of the attendees were women who were involved in tech was just amazing. (8.44) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? Sue really enjoys the way tech is becoming involved in absolutely everything we do. As a result, technology skills are going to become increasingly valuable. It frustrates her that more people do not consider an IT career. Technology careers are not just about sitting there coding all day. There are so many other roles to fill. There is a place for everyone within the technology sector. So, everyone should be doing their best to learn as many tech skills as possible. There is already a skills shortage. This means that there are jobs available for anyone who is even a little bit tech savvy. Sue is also excited about the way in which tech connects everyone together. When she was working on the Bletchley Park project it was Twitter and social media that sparked the necessary interest to keep things on track and complete the project. Twitter enabled Sue to instantly find everyone who was interested in Bletchley Park and engage with them. Twitter is an incredible way to find like-minded people. (11.24) – What first attracted you to a career in IT? Sue says for her it was probably money. When she was deciding on which degree to take she had the choice of math or computer science. At the time, her priority was earning enough to support her and her three kids. So, taking computer science was the most sensible option. (11.54) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? Sue said that was – “Go for promotion”. Apply any time you get a chance, after all what is the worst thing that can happen when you do so? (12.24) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Sue says that she has always regretted not becoming a stack developer. A role she could not consider doing now, because she feels that she no longer has the energy for it. But, if she were starting over again, as a younger person, that is what she would want to do. (12.44) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Sue wants to change the world with technology. Right now, her focus is helping people who have come from a disadvantaged background, as she did. That is why she has set up her social enterprise, techmums. Sue wants to empower people through technology. She is also interested in becoming a University Vice Chancellor. Fulfilling that personal ambition is something she is also working towards. (13.31) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Sue says being able to chat with people and make friends has really helped her throughout her career. When she was doing her PhD her supervisor told her she had to network. At the time, that was the last thing Sue wanted to do. In fact, she was scared of doing it. But, she pushed herself to follow that advice. Now, she believes that is the thing that has made the biggest positive difference to her career. Talking to people, finding out what they do helps you to find common interests so that you can connect and collaborate. Networking has negative connotations, but, when done properly it should not have those. If you are genuinely interested in others and happy to share what you are doing getting to know people can only be a positive thing. (14.41) Phil says you make a good point about networking. Really, we need to find a different word for it to get away from the negativity surrounding it. Sue agrees. For her networking is primarily about friendship. She remembers sitting alone at conferences not knowing a soul. It took a lot for her to say Hi and talk to others about what they were up to. But, when she did good things happened. Some of those people have been her friends for two decades now. (15.25) – Phil asks Sue to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. Sue’s advice is to do a job that you love.

The Life Scientific

Jim Al-Khalili talks to the former technical director of British Nuclear Fuels, Dame Sue Ion, about a lifetime of working in the nuclear industry. When Sue got her first job at a nuclear fuel fabrication plant in Preston, nuclear power was generally seen as force for good but, during the dark decades post Chernobyl, it was a hard sell. Still, Sue continued to push for investment and innovation in the industry and in 2006 persuaded Tony Blair to change his mind about nuclear power, insisting that if Britain is to have any chance at all of keeping the lights on and cutting its carbon emissions, we will need to invest heavily not only in renewables like offshore wind but also in a new generation of nuclear power stations.
