have you ever felt the intuitive or even telepathic pathways between you and another person open up in an instant and information flows between the two of you effortlessly and without words or with very few words? and, on the flip side of this coin, have you ever felt or noticed those same pathways disappear in an instant, leaving you wondering how it happened and with questions about the nature of this kind of event?
if all this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone. this kind of seemingly magical experience is one that gets downplayed, denied or ignored in many social circles. the reason for the fairly common dismissal of this type of communication is because we are rarely or never taught to use and develop it in formal education, through media, by parents or in any other setting we generally find ourselves steeped in.
however, what if we were all taught to use and explore these events and get a more comprehensive understanding, or at least, a closer examination? for example, let's take the first scenario. there are 2 rather ordinary people who have cultivated a friendship. Let's call them number 1 and number 2.
number 1 walks up to number 2 who is sitting at a bench, having a beverage. as soon as number 2 sees number one, she has a foreboding feeling, like she is about to get bad news. number 1 sits down. she is silent. her body language, her facial expression and her silence are all number 2 has to determine, at this point, about what, if anything is going on, and if it is a matter of significance.
number 2 can guess that number 1 is feeling low and can guess what it is about. but at that moment, they simply look at each other and the eye contact is enough to convey the enormity and severity of the feelings and thoughts number 1 is holding.
the same sort of transmission can of course happen for happier, more lighthearted situations. the vibrations for communicating joy generally transmit more quickly.
we have probably all heard the phrase "self conscious". we all understand there is a negative connotation to that saying. so I pose the question, why is it such a bad thing to be self conscious? well, of course the answer lies in the implications and interpretations of the words, not the words themselves. it would be truly wonderful if people were more often "conscious" of themselves. so, why the cognitive dissonance? why the implied discomfort in the mere suggestion of becoming more conscious of your "self"?
Conscious awareness is a developmental reality that average to above average functioning adults all participate in so we can navigate the adult world with relative to good success. Becoming aware of who we really are, is a whole different situation. Awareness of your self includes the ability to self censor when needed, the ability to analyze the behavior and attitudes of the self and adjust accordingly if problems arise.
However, these mechanisms for survival in human society are not signs of the finish line for self awareness. Becoming conscious of the self is a life long exploration.
Recently I began identifying as a clairsentient, clairaudient practitioner. I developed a system to create ceremonies for people to improve their quality of life and I even came up with a name for what I do. it is called "restorative shamanic dream work". this work and the positive self image that goes with creating and practicing it has been a long time coming.
I have been researching subjects that deal with shamanism, psychic ability, and much more. I have had multiple revelations about my own gifts and challenges, and have arrived over and over in places that ask me to examine further and keep going, instead of becoming stagnant or complacent. If I am apathetic about my own healing path and learning commitments, how can I expect to foster and even facilitate the kind of significant healing I know is possible for my clients?
For now, that's enough about my choices. what will you choose? how will you go about finding new levels of awareness about your self?
