About Guides/Guidance and Q&A on Contacting Guides
Keywords: guides/higher self/teachers, four bodies, densities; shamanic journeying
Aaron: Again, my blessings and love to you all. All these electronic tools… I hope you have slept well and are enjoying the rain. The sun does shine in Michigan, but not today. Perhaps to phrase it differently, the sun is shining, there are just some low clouds that are blocking our view of it.
There is some confusion about who the guides are, to whom you might be opening, and discernment of the difference between the higher self and the guide. Each of you has a higher aspect of your being. We use the simple term “higher self”. You have a physical body, you understand what that is, and a mental body, an emotional body and also a spirit body. Each body has different levels. There’s the physical level of the physical body, there are etheric and astral levels, and the same with the mental and emotional bodies.
The highest level of the physical body is what we might call a template for this present physical body. It is the expression of the ever-perfect level of this physical body out of which this outer expression comes.
The same is true of the other bodies. There is thus a highest expression of the spirit body which we would call the higher self. It’s the deepest essence of what you are, and it moves with you between lifetimes and into lifetimes. So this highest expression is part of what you are now.
If you look at the bodies in the room, you can’t see the heart but you know it’s there. Without the heart, the body could not be alive. You don’t have to see the heart to know it’s there.
This will complete the totality of what you are. Without the higher self, nothing would be here. There would be nothing to hold you together. But you often do not have contact with that highest expression of your being. You touch on the emotional and mental bodies, even on different levels of consciousness, and you think “Ah, that’s it!” But consciousness is not the spirit body, consciousness is consciousness. The spirit body uses consciousness as a tool, just it uses the physical body and the mind.
In between your lifetimes this highest level of your being is more accessible because you’re not caught up in the heavy density of this plane. There’s more sense of knowing who you are, although there’s still not perfect connection with it.
This higher self can serve as a guide to others, and others’ higher selves can serve as your guide. You ask, “How could I, who am ignorant, ever be a guide to another?” I’m not talking about this present incarnate experience that you’re having.
Picture yourself with a friend about to walk into a lake. There’s a course set underwater, a clear track on which one my walk, and if you go off the course you could stumble into dense, thick ooze, but there’s a firm path and on the surface there are small buoys that mark where the path is.
The two of you wade into the water. You can see the buoys but the water is rising. Once you’re underwater you won’t see the buoys anymore. You stop and look at each other. What are we to do? And one of you says to the other, “I’ll climb on your shoulders and then my head will be out of the water and I can see the buoys. And I can turn your head a little bit one way or the other to help guide you so that you can follow the track. You’re going to have to trust me. I’m just going to sit on your shoulders but I’ll be able to see all the buoys. I’m going to have to trust you because if you go off the track, we’ll both fall into the mud.”
So you climb on your friend’s shoulder or your friend climbs on yours, and you walk through this path. Your higher self is guiding you in just this way. But with you were on the bottom and the friend sitting on the shoulders, the friend was turning your head this way and you can say, “No, I’m supposed to go that way, I’m sure!” So you ignore the friend on your shoulders. How often do you do that?
The guidance is there and you have within you the capacity to hear that guidance, and what we call spirit guides are there. These guides, … I think Barbara mentioned my description of the university system yesterday. When I first came to Barbara consciously, when she was first conscious of my presence, she could not hear me in words—not a lot of words, a little bit but not much. She had to tune and bring herself into a vibration that was high enough to hear me, and I had to learn to tune my vibration to hers.
So she worked with several intermediary guides. One she described was her grandfather. Another was simply a beloved friend who she perceived as a Native American woman. They gave her tuning exercises, especially to focus on certain colors and lights, to do certain exercises to raise her vibration. Meanwhile she and I just sat together and shared our energy together. And gradually it became possible for her to hear me more precisely and to trust what she heard.
You have a family of guidance. There will be the beings that are 3rd density beings like yourself who sit on your shoulders, figuratively speaking. But if there’s something deeper that you need to understand your guide will bring you to his boss, so to speak, to a next rank up, the person who knows a bit more. If they determine that you still need a higher level of guidance, it goes up and up.
We talk about the densities and that you are 3rd density and moving into 4th density. Fourth density is a density in which you will be telepathic and compassion grows. And in 5th density, wisdom deepens. Sixth density is, let us call it a density of service. Each of these densities has a broad range. We talk about children in school but they go from kindergarten to 12th grade. Then you have graduate school, several years of graduate school.
So there are beginning and middle and end 4th density and 5th density and 6th density beings. You will find the level of guidance that you need is always there. Some guides may surprise you. Once in a deep meditation, Barbara found herself talking to a tree, and she later asked me, “How could a tree be talking to me?” Well, trees are sentient beings also. So it was sharing its wisdom with her. She had back pain and the tree did not just communicate thoughts but actually talked to her about how she was holding her body rigid, and how to move like the tree, how to be flexible. So the tree had an important message to impart. It came as a friend and a teacher. It was not a primary guide; it was a teacher.
There’s a difference also between guides and teachers. A guide is a being who has determined to be with you and guide you for a period of time or sometimes through the whole life. There may have been a decision before the incarnation, “I will be your guide, and while you are incarnate I will not take incarnation. I will be available to you in this form through your life.”
I don’t want you to suppose that a being who is incarnate cannot also be a guide to others. It’s rare but it can happen. In other words, a great wise being who is very mature can come into the earth plane and be incarnate and still on the inner planes serve as guide to others. But for most of you third density beings, you don’t do that— you’re either incarnate or you may serve as a guide to others.
A teacher is not someone who is committed to be with you through your life but to whom you turn for whatever period of time. It might be lifelong or it may be very short, maybe even just one meeting. That person comes as a teacher. So the tree was not really a guide for Barbara, the tree was a teacher. But the other beings I mentioned, her grandfather and this Native American woman, these were guides.
Having helped her raise her vibrational frequency so she could speak to me, they stepped into the background. She still experiences their loving energy now and then, they’re still with her, but they’re not the most primary guidance—I am.
So there are guides, there are teachers, there is the higher self. And they are not different, they are all the highest spiritual level of being. How can we say there are separate beings? Your ancestors died and presumably are buried somewhere, or their ashes lie somewhere. And they’ve infiltrated into the soil. Food grows from that soil and you eat the food. The food becomes part of your body. Can you say you are separate from your great-grandmother? Everything is part of everything else. Nothing is separate.
Your guides seem to be separate. I’d tell you I am separate from Barbara but I am here to teach you that nothing is separate. You’ll have to deal with that seeming paradox! There are no paradoxes either.
You’ve come to know me with a certain personality. This is not who I am, and my true name is not Aaron. “Hey you” was not useful for Barbara, she needed a name. Aaron was a being that I was in a lifetime about… let’s see, the lifetime of Aaron ended just less than 2000 years ago and began about 2400 years ago and he lived about 400 years. He was a very wise and loving teacher. So I felt this was a useful personality on which to base this being that I bring to you.
You feel my energy strongly. You think you know my energy field, as Barbara does. There was a time, once, when Barbara questioned something I said, thinking to herself, “Oh, it’s just Aaron.” She thought of me as this kindly grandfather figure. It was not that I wanted to have my way or push her into accepting my way of thinking, it was more that I wanted her to understand that there’s more to me than meets the eye. Not necessarily to be respectful to me but to serve herself by listening more carefully to me and then deciding, “Is this useful?” So she doesn’t have to accept everything I say and we do disagree on occasion.
But I came to her with a burst of energy using, not the maybe 1/20th of my energy that comes through now but a quarter of my energy, perhaps. She suddenly experienced me as an immense being. Her whole body trembled with that power for just a moment or two and then I backed out. And I said, “Now, do you want to think that out again? Please consider what I just said without the, “Oh, it’s just Aaron.””
“Please think that out again and consider what I’ve just said.” Not on the basis of, “I’m Aaron, I’m powerful, therefore I’m right,” but also not on the basis of, “Oh, it’s just Aaron.” If you respect me and the power I have, you will respect yourself and the power you have. If you disrespect me, you will disrespect yourself.
So what I come to you as is simply the personality of that being who I once was. We had a friend 20 years ago who wanted to work with me but said she had a problem working with a male teacher. So I shifted my energy a bit. Not sure if I can do it easily right now…
(shift to gentle feminine voice and energy)
… and I said to her, “Shall I come as Arianna? Shall I be a female? Would that be easier for you?”
I’m not fully making that shift but I’m not male or female. Neither are you. In this particular incarnation you’re coming as a male or female but all of you are a balance of both.
We are not asking you to become mediums, emptying yourself so that a spirit may incorporate in your body and speak to others, we’re only suggesting you have the capacity to hear your guidance. That’s a difference, maybe just a difference of degree, but there’s a difference. So the work we’re doing here this weekend is to help you communicate more fully with your higher selves and with your guidance.
Thus far I have been the incorporated spirit in this room. A friend suggested that he pay a visit to give you a sense of a different entity. So we’re going to do that.
(pause; Aaron leaves and a different Entity incorporates. )
Do we need this electronic device? Can it go in the pocket?
(visit not recorded, continuing with next file)(aside from Barbara: interesting that while we did have the recorder on, it did not record! Recorder was in the pocket and mic attached to shirt.)
Aaron: Are there any questions? Do you feel the difference between these entities? (Group: Yes!)
Any questions? Let me phrase it differently—any questions that we can answer (inaudible) (laughter)
Q: During the processes yesterday <> been contacting my guide. I was able to see, I don’t know what to call it, sparkles of light,… that kind of thing, with my eyes closed. Not much felt sense. And I was frustrated.
Aaron: You’re trying too hard.
Q: Yes, I was. This morning after meditation I sat and sensed a being, a tall, blue-white form, or column, just very gently being with me. And I invited them to be with me, to kind of overshadow my meditation and show me their meditation. It was quite beautiful.
Then later after the breakfast time, I went outside, they seemed to be with me, I asked them to be with me and show me this scene through their eyes. It was non-conceptual, very beautiful and very connected. Non-cognitive, very beautiful, and very connected, a sense of oneness with the lake, the rain, the trees, the earth, the space.
Aaron: Good….
Q: The question is, was this my guide, my higher self, and how do I attune sufficiently to have more… like question and answer communication?
Aaron: First, you do not need to know right now whether it is a guide or higher self; it is simply a high energy with which you wish to establish deeper communication. Come into connection with it, as you have, and then ask it, “How can I tune to hear you better?” What you receive may simply be in visual images or harmonic sounds. There may be an impulse to tone with the harmonic sounds or to move into a color and merge into that color. There may be a feeling to work with the elements to better balance them. It may seem as if it’s coming just intuitively. But in some way this guidance is conveying what it feels will be most supportive to help you tune. It’s highest intention is to support you, and in order to do that you need to be able to communicate. So its intention is to help you communicate.
What you are seeing – you are transcending the form level and seeing the entity simply as its deeper level of light and energy. And this is wonderful. I think yesterday you were trying too hard to see a form because the meditation was led toward seeing a being, seeing a face, and you were not seeing a face, you were seeing the sparkling light. And today you let it settle into simply energy.
I don’t know if any of you have seen Barbara’s sculpture. Many years ago in her studio she simply saw forms that seemed to move so she made bronze portraits of them using, she used the copper tooling that’s the unwound, and coated it with bronze, and made very light, airy, moving forms. She asked when she finished, “What should this be named?” “Ariel, Lael,” different names. Only years later in meditation did she meet these beings and realized she truly had been doing a portrait. She was a sculptor, she sculpted. What did she sculpt? Her deepest spirit friends.
So it’s good that you’re seeing beyond the form level. Just keep working with this guidance and if you have a question for it, ask it. And don’t expect to receive it in verbal form; receive in whatever form it comes.
Q: I want to thank you for the experiences of love. It’s difficult for me to feel love(d). And when I met with you yesterday, I felt love. It causes a lot of emotions. And I’m very grateful to feel loved. I feel it had a profound effect on me in some deep way I don’t understand. I appreciate knowing there is you and other beings I can be with and feel loved. And I want to know if you have anything to say to me about the question I asked you in the journey.
Aaron: Daughter, only to trust yourself, to trust your own experience.
There is the human heart that is afraid, and there is that which knows no fear. That aspect of you that knows no fear, you know it’s there but it feels foolish at times from the human perspective to trust it.
This is a process of learning who you are, learning to trust the deepest aspect of yourself, both the capacity to give and to receive love, and the power that you have. Much of your fear is about that power because you understand that you have the capacity to do harm, because negative emotion still arises. Therefore you choose to limit your power rather than moving through the negative emotions and finding that which is so pure and radiant beyond it. So what is so important is to begin to trust that purity and radiance. I’m not denying that there is negative emotion, but stop self-identifying with it, stop being afraid of it, it’s just part of the human package.
It’s after 10 and I want to leave Heather plenty of time… so perhaps enough talk for now. Does that sound suitable?
Heather: Wonderful, come back later!
Aaron: I will not be far! Thank you all for sharing with me and good journeys to you all. I’m very happy that you’re having the opportunity for this process. I’ll release the body to Barbara.
(Heather whispers to Aaron)
They (the Entities) hear your thanks and they are grateful to you for being willing to receive them into your circle.
(pause)
The Brother has said as he walked in this body around the room that he was not so aware of the extent that the human still lacks balance. The balance is improved but not as much as it might be. Please tell her that there will be assistance to improve the balance.
(session with Aaron ends; Aaron leaves the body)
Heather: I’m a little lacking in words after all of that! I’m very grateful to Aaron…
(pause, Barbara asked what just happened and someone might be signing to her)
I talked to Barbara about a little bit of questioning you were having about whether it was higher self or guides and trusting (the experience) in that way, and Aaron offered to come through and bring some other entities of light through. When we use the word “entities” we are referring to entities of Light. For me it was a truly heart-opening experience, and I hope that it helped you all to have that understanding that we have spiritual guidance and we can trust that, and we don’t have to work so hard, even accepting that aspect of love that is willing to come to us, to teach us, to nurture us, and work as our spiritual guidance. It’s not so important to know, I believe, whether it’s our higher self or whether it’s spiritual guidance of another being guiding us.
So without diluting this with lots of words, I would like us to go straight in to a journey, to merge, this time–I will guide you–with your guides you have been working with. Or you could merge with the Sister of Light aspect, or Brother of Light aspect, that were just present.
If you have clarity with your own guides I suggest you merge with them, but feel free—you have the choice of all 3 to work with now, so that you can experience merging with your energy field, and I’ll guide you to that point, in the form, after which you’re going to drop the form and get that contrast. Okay?…
(break followed by 10 minute journey to spirit guides or other guidance)
(sharing)
(regarding not being able to hear very well immediately post-journey)
Heather: You’re just transitioning back from that reality into this reality, so part of your hearing hasn’t come back but it will come back. It’s just you’re bringing yourself fully present back from that journey, back into this present reality…. It’s probably just your energy field still a little dispersed.
(sharing)
(regarding feeling ill later after journeying)
Heather: Sometimes… this is a vast energy field that we’re working with here, we have Aaron, we have these Light beings too that are coming through, and Aaron is such an enlightened being, so there are huge energy fields. And this (experience of high vibration) is an opportunity that our body sometimes takes to detox, so that’s why. Remind yourself to let anything that no longer serves us go into the core of the earth, to be transmuted into healing light. You’ve also done some dismemberment journeys, dismembering that which keeps you separate from your radiance, and being re-membered in a more light, radiant, illuminated way, sort of stepping into your illuminated essence. So there’s often some emotional stuff, heavy-leaded consciousness that gets dispersed. So we always want to send it down with that intention whenever we’re doing any kind of work because, as Einstein said, energy once created can’t be destroyed. So we don’t want to detox ourselves spiritually and leave it there for somebody else to pick up, you know, like a burr. So there’s no fear of it, you’re just sending it down. Especially if you have healing practices or psychotherapy practices, filling with light, washing through, and going down into the earth to become nutritious for our planet.
At the Casa when we finish, at the end of every session, the entity will choose 2 or 3 of us to do a closing. And he always says, “I don’t want anybody to leave here with a headache or with pain.” So it’s in the those few minutes, 5 minutes that we give a closing prayer, we ask, we visualize the room filling with light, all the rooms of the Casa. That all the mediums, everybody present be filled with light and cleansed, and sending to the earth. And Medium Joao’s room, everything to be filled with light, all the hotels and pousadas. And then we ask for that light to go to all 4 corners of the Earth, this current of light that is created.
It’s something that’s very important for us to do in our daily practice because you can fill your house with light, your offices with light. And especially if you have clients coming in and out, I think there are quite a few of you psychotherapists, as they’re dropping off their emotional energy, emotional, mental, physical bodies, that’s energy that’s getting dumped in your office. So you just want to set up, I do this with each client. As the energy comes out it just goes straight down and the next client comes in and says, “Oh, it feels so clean in here, so good.” Just filling up, remembering to ask for the Light to fill it. And at the end of the day as well…also fill the house with light and all the gardens, always connect to the spirits of the garden and the Light and the Earth and the elements.
And you know, this sort of carries on from yours as well, I think, I hope that was helpful, so you are detoxing probably at quite a powerful rate, wonderful energy that we experienced with Aaron and his friends today, very powerful, Aaron’s is always such pure love. So we are healing, we are becoming more light bodies. It’s always important just to be filling ourselves with light and releasing it…
(sharing)
Heather: … I’d like to continue our conversation that we were having yesterday. I think it’s one of the reasons I had asked Aaron to explain the difference between holy spirit and all of that– I think when you feel comfortable now, for you to say to your spirit guide, “You know, I’m comfortable with your power, I accept it and I’d like to merge with you,” you know when you’re talking with people and some people you can go and embrace, like I feel I could always embrace Barbara, she’s always so present with a big hug. Some people, I feel there’s a distance there, that I wouldn’t go into that field. So I respect that. I’m not going to throw my arms around them. I’ll perhaps offer them a hand or, just looking into their eyes. And the same thing with our spirit guides. He’s perhaps sensing that from you, a little reticence, so building that confidence up. When we meet somebody for the first time we spend time before we’re hugging them.
In South America we’re a little bit more effusive, I would say. My British background was very much different to that. And some of that comes through sometimes, people find me rather Scottish and aloof, and I’m not aware of it but I try and work with that too, so I’m not putting up a barrier. I don’t think you’re putting up a barrier; I think you’re just beginning to trust that guide, so I think within the next couple of journeys you’ll say, “I’m ready for this now, let’s just go for it.” Does that make sense?
And the other thing I remembered that I was going to talk about is, sometimes you go to a party or to a room or to a meeting, and the energy is like, “Whoa, that was amazing! It was really nice, I feel full.” And other times you can go and you come out and you’re exhausted, you know? So you can very easily clear that off. We call it spiritual clean-off. Just imagine yourself under a shower of light, or quick drumming, or, you’re all such great meditators that pretty soon you can go right there.
I like to use the drum because it takes me deeper, even though I can visualize it instantly. Oftentimes if I’m doing a seeking journey I’ll use the drum for answers, those kinds of things, but use meditation too. If you’re coming out of somebody’s house and you feel overcharged with energy, just sit in your car for a few minutes and see yourself stepping into a cascading waterfall of light and let that energy be transmuted, go down into the earth. Because you’re just picking up, you’re sensitive, your energy field, picking up people’s energy or fears. As Aaron says—I’m always grateful to Aaron for being clear about this –– that there is a negative polarity in the universe. There’s a positive and a negative. There’s light and there’s darkness but we’re here to balance it, to work with the darkness but it’s not to be afraid, we’re not going to be overpowered by that, but just acknowledging that it exists. It’s part of the universe. And we’re drawn to the light.
We don’t use candles in Brazil, in spiritism in general, because the entities say butterflies are drawn to the light but also so are moths. Not a judgment on moths but maybe just a lower vibrational spirit. And they exist, and sometimes they’re lost, and we can help them go to the light. We’re not going to be working on that today, but a lot of that happens in Brazil at the Casa.
I have a friend who emailed me last night, a very good friend of theirs passed on in Greece. And one of them feels the presence very close all the time, so is feeling that he hasn’t crossed over. We’re going to meditate together later on even though we’re in separate parts of the earth, and then with prayers help that soul to cross to the light.
Barbara says and Aaron says, we’re always working with the highest possible intention and service to the light. Sometimes we go into supermarkets and pick up maybe little dense energy. In the next exercise, going to do a transfiguration into our divinity, a transfiguration into the light. Then rather than separate from it, as you just merged and separated, you can actually carry that up through your experience to lunch. We’ll tone for awhile for that, to hold it, and then this afternoon we’ll be working more on that higher level, not really want to judge levels but we’ll be in a deeper place, let’s say.
I’m sure you all experienced the merging; it was a very positive experience for everybody, am I right? So now this afternoon we’ll be doing the other experience with your guide where you’re going to merge with the light, the radiance. So if you think about, Aaron I think would corroborate this, but you know his energy is compressing in to Barbara’s body. As he said he uses 20 per cent or a 20th of his energy, and so the expansive ever-present is…, When we connect to our guides in a journey, they’re compressing themselves as well. And it’s freeing when we can say, “We accept you as the radiance that you are.” And it’s a very different experience.
For me, it was really night and day. For about 2 hrs afterwards I went into the woods and I would look at different leaves and I would see geometric patterns, still merged with this, and this understanding that it could be… the difference for me was really vast because I’d been working with spirit guides for so long. Now I work with their radiance and very rarely do I see their absolute image anymore. But I used to see the faces very, very clearly. Unless I’m doing journeys for other people and then I see all the imagery. But when I’m working in meditation or working at the Casa, I see really the light of the entities and no longer the form compressed. Although sometimes I will just get the face fleetingly if I’m coming by, if I’m to know exactly, some particular reason. And that’s always very nice now because I rarely see those details.
The transfiguration journey: when Sandy Ingerman was writing this book, the last part, this was channeled to her, the last part was transfiguration. And she asked her husband, “What does that mean?” And they looked it up and it means shapeshifting, but it also means, when transfiguring into the Light, or Jesus when he transfigured into the Light and people touched his robe and they were healed. So we’re going to merge into, shapeshifting is kind of a buzz word but it means merge, become one with. Does that make sense?
This is a wonderful book, Medicine for the Earth. We’ve done a lot of work with water. While I was studying with her, she was writing this book. I’ve trained to be a teacher of Medicine for the Earth. Beautiful book. When you read it, I suggest one chapter at a time. Do those exercises and just work one chapter for a week, and then the next chapter. There’s a lot of information.
Actually any books of Sandy’s are really good. Another one is How to Transmute Toxins, a small book, a great book…
(break)
…Grounded, we’re talking about grounding here. I’ll show you with my divining tool after lunch, I’ll bring it down. I’m a double fire sign, a double Sagittarius. That means I can be really out there, flying off without finishing one project, I’m already on to another project. But I can be really scattered. And so in order to teach or in my everyday world, I have to really ground myself and not be flying around by the seats of my pants, which is pretty much, you know, how I could go through life.
So I’ll show you this afternoon my energy when I’m up in my head, my energy when I ground down. So I imagine myself like a tree reaching up to the universe, with my branches going up to the universe, and then bringing down the light through the branches. I just imagine, I don’t have to do this, but you can afterwards, bringing it through, right through the center, the core of my being, connected to my essence, connected to the filament of light that I am, let us say, and I send it right down throughout all my being, filling myself with light, sending it right down through all my hips, all my organs, down into the earth and rooting out into the earth.
A sapling can sustain the strongest winds if it’s deeply rooted. But if it’s badly planted or lightly planted, along can come a big wind and just blow it away. But really strongly grounded in and properly planted, those roots will spread out into the earth and grow into a fine tree that can sustain many storms.
So I bring that energy down and then I feel the energy of Mother Earth coming up and being that, so I’m now flowing the yin and yang together. So not being too feminine, not being too masculine, but bringing the two together, and talking from my essence now. Especially if I’m teaching, I always do that and then I ask my guidance system to be able to teach to this particular group in a way that will make sense for them because each group is different. This group is very much a meditation class, so you embrace this quite easily. So the words flow. If I’m not grounded, I’m constantly searching for words, I can’t remember things, I sound scattered.
This journey that we’re going to do together is to transfigure into our higher selves and into the light. Then we’re going to bring that back down, and we’re going to hold that space, and we’re going to be that space. Once we bring (it) down we’ll start toning to hold it, to really experience that shift in us of really feeling the experience of luminosity within us, radiance within us, the inner brilliance, if you will, all those words… And to be able to shine that in the light and carry that in all we do, not from an egoic place but from serving; but connected to that luminosity so we’re not separate, “Oh, now I’m in my personality. Now I’m working…” And now I’m trying to be more connected to our higher selves in all that we do.
I’m going to use Sandra Ingerman’s words here. And after you’ve done it once you don’t need to go through all the words, you’ll just be transfiguring. And we’ll work more this afternoon.
So I’ll take you through this journey and then we’ll go to lunch, but first we’ll tone a little bit here and then we’ll go slowly up to lunch, when you feel ready. So some people will leave before others. Just walking up slowly, and holding it, not shifting from it. Trying to hold that space. Does that make sense?
So grounded means grounded, bringing the yin and the yang together, not being up in our heads but bringing all of the energy down and rooting down into the ground. It helps in all our work. If I’m not grounded and I go shopping in the supermarket, I come back with ¾ of the list I haven’t bought.
So let’s just close your eyes for a second. If it helps you to reach up, you can. If not just do it imagining yourself.
(Guided meditation)
So let’s just imagine you’re standing out in a beautiful garden and you’re reaching up to the Light. Sending up your beautiful tree, an energetic tree of light, sending all your focus up to the Light, to connect to the Light. And then imagine bringing that light down through your arms, through your branches and down in through your crown.
Feel the light permeating through you. Coming down through all your organs. Relieving the tension in your neck and your shoulders, and flowing down your arms, down your spine. You might even feel sometimes a clicking back into place. Just feel the light, this divine intelligence, flowing through in all your cells and tissues, lighting up, remembering this radiance, and then flowing down, inward, outward, sides…
Down through the core of your being, feeling yourself merging with that light that you are in the core of your being. The light permeating out into your field, down your legs, all around your hips like a soothing balm, down your legs and your knees and your ankles and out the soles of your feet. And then imagine sending roots down into Mother Earth, feeling yourselves connected to the earth and the love, that divine feminine love, perfect mother love, the universal mother love, it is unconditional love, not the personal mother love.
Just feeling connected to this loving, divine presence of the feminine that nurtures us unconditionally, and bringing that energy up. So you’re sending big roots out, connecting to that, bringing that energy up, so the 2 flowing together, the yin and the yang, flowing in absolute harmony and balance.
And setting the intention that this journey that we’re going to do, that this experience that we’re going to have, be for the highest good, divinely guided, and our guidance system is present here of the highest vibrations and integrity, and only the divine truth exists.
(a blessing or phrase in Latin(?))
So, is everybody comfy but not so comfortable that you’ll fall asleep? I’m going to be turning the drums slightly toward Barbara so that she can have a more profound experience. She feels the vibrations when the drum is a certain way for her.
