Spiritual
Communication & Energy Work
By CinnamonMoon
Earthwalker suggested some
topical articles that I feel are actually tied together.
These suggestions were:
1) Increasing communication with Guides
2) Communication with Tree People and Stone People
3) More intense communication with Spirit
4) Defining dimensional realms and working with their energies
5) Astral Travel 6) Deep trance work
7) Remote Viewing
8) Healing Energy Work for the Land and individuals
9) Group energy and focus
Now why am I lumping all this together? Because it is basically
all initiated in the same way and it is the focus of your intent
that defines the variations. It's like looking at a library
shelf and deciding what book you want to read. The process of
reading remains the same. It's the topic and enlightenment from
the book that shifts.
Communication with Guides, Tree People/Standing
People, Stone People, Totems, Inner Spirit, Spirit or any other
entity that you seek is going to improve the more you do communicate
with it. It's a natural outgrowth of the experience and improving
your skill levels each time you make that effort. Defining dimensional
realms comes through experience too. As you do this work the
energy of the realms becomes part of your awareness and differentiating
it is no different than experiencing different suburban environments
recognizing them as you pass through them. You learn as you
go, and the more you go the more you learn about them. What
one person experiences is going to be different than the next
yet similar so as you share these experiences with people you
get adjusted insights in the exchanges.
IMHO Astral Travel or Astral Projection
is no different than the shamanic journey. Again it is a minor
jiggle/adjustment to your focus that defines the experience.
You can journey in a mental state (usually advised for beginners)
as you initially explore different dimensions. This is what
we've been doing in the Dancing the Wheel forum. As a rule the
elemental dimensions are explored first in all traditions, the
shamanic perspective of the Seven Sacred Directions taking that
3 steps further. Each of these dimensions are reflected in the
7 layers of the Astral perspectives, which as in all cases,
you will find to have multi layers to each of them.
Communication deepens as we develop
our relationship with Spirit, our Guides, or Allies in whatever
form they take. We open spiritually just as we do in the mundane
sense of getting to know someone. Trust and confidence in that
relationship grows and as it does the communication deepens
and expands to bring us to the desired intensity we seek initially.
It's too much at first, it would bowl us over, but over time
we are able to accept it.
A good example would be meeting someone
who wants to tell you their life story the moment you meet them.
You're not sure you want to know it and start to feel overwhelmed
by them and look for an avenue
of escape. However, if that same person shared a bit here and
there over time you'd take it all in willingly and be able to
embrace it.
The only way to get there from here
is to practice your exercises and when they cease to be only
experimental you will find you have moved into the lesson with
the appropriate Teacher. You see our greatest Teachers are not
of this world, they are our Guides who know the spiritual path
we need to take.
These Guides have been *assigned*
to work with us and help us. But in order for them to do that
we have to accept them for who they are and the role they fulfill.
We have to accept that a relationship needs to develop and with
that a level of trust that can only be achieved by repeated
visits to them.
They are the ones to guide us through
dimensional realms, sometimes a Guide for each, sometimes a
Guide that travels several of them. It all depends on our needs
but the answers we seek are with them. The work is ours, they
point the way, the desire must be ours, they wait for us to
come to them. Deep trance work comes with experience. As we
learn our way around the spirit realms we probe deeper each
time and the more intense our work the deeper the trance state
that the physical body enters. As you go you grow to see this.
The issue of Remote Viewing is accomplished
in the same way any shamanic journey is entered into. It's the
focus of where you want to go. If you want to enter a realm
contained by one of the elemental forces you focus on that element.
If you want to go to another country or location you focus on
that. Your focus is the visual of your will, your will is your
intent, and that's all it takes when you have established the
right state of mind through cleansing your energy, centering,
and entering into your sacred space.
Astral Projection is the next step.
It is a releasing of the Inner Spirit to explore where the body
can't go. It is taking conscious awareness (mental capacity)
with you as you allow your Inner Spirit to project itself from
the body (usually through the crown chakra or solar plexus where
a pulling or ejecting sensation is felt). It's a natural progression.
Just as we learn to read these different
energy signatures and recognize them when we sense them around
us, we can enter into unity with them and then direct that energy
for whatever out intent may be. This is tapping what I call
Source Energy too...what some call Reiki, or any number of other
terms. It's tapping cosmic energies and learning to be one with
them. At that point you can direct them in any way you feel
necessary. Higher Good should be the foundation of any work
you do naturally. But it's just a matter of intent. If you want
to remotely view something you do it. If you want to heal you
do it. You send that energy to be supportive to your intent.
It reacts with you and responds to that will. When you are through
you simply withdraw from it's current or flow stepping out of
that and back to the physical reality the same way you went
in only reversing the process.
Working within a group is merely
an extension of the same process. The *group mind* is prepared
in the same way, the focus is the same, the intent is the same,
and through the group centering process a unification takes
place intensifying the work being done by sheer numbers and
gathered energy. Many people find that this is a preferred method.
Many others prefer to work alone as there are drawbacks in ego
issues, politics, power-struggles, etc. Still others, who have
mastered their own abilities come to see that they alone can
accomplish just as much by expanding their openness to the energy
itself and uniting with it. Your ability is only limited by
your perception of it and the boundaries you set for yourself.
I hope this helps you see that it's
all interrelated work and as you continue your pursuits it falls
into place. Method varies from person to person, tradition to
tradition, but it has the same fundamental corner stones and
you can create your own approach just as easily. What works
for one person doesn't always work for another so there are
variations to everything as we learn to jiggle things into place,
but always the foundations remain the same no matter what label
you put on them.
