Guided Meditations

 

So, I have been practicing the ‘You are the placebo’ meditation now for over a week. To be honest I was not completely sure of it when I first started, if anything it felt a little spooky. Then I came across an article that confirmed I was not alone in my feelings. Whilst I really admire the work of Dr Joe Dispenza there is something about the audios and presentations that leave me feeling a tad suspicious or a tad uneasy. I could be wrong; it could just be my own innate suspiciousness or my brains reluctancy to change – although now I just see that I am labelling myself and no good will come of that! I do not want to criticise as that is unfair to a man that has clearly done so much good for his community, but I still cannot deny that gut feeling I have that something is not right. So, I did what I always do in times of deep questioning – I consulted the tarot. First, I prayed to my angels and then I called upon my ancestors to guide me in their wisdom. I directed my question to the tarot (although now this question was a little vague.) “Should I continue my meditations directed by Dr Joe or should I focus on learning my own self-guided meditations? The first card I pulled showed two trees in a design that appeared as two lungs, showing me that my concentration should lie with the breath alone and in of itself. As I question everything, I still felt this to be a little vague so pulled a second card. I pulled the card of the ancestors showing me that I am to honour the path set before my ancestors to honour that within and to trust the wisdom of my own heart. I delved deeper asking what more I should know at this time and a further three cards fell into my lap. The card that puzzles me is the earth witch… how do I be of service to mother earth, how do I honour that which has been whilst remaining firmly rooted in the present? The remaining cards were clear that I should focus on my own practice and continue in my development, connecting to nature and connecting to the higher realms. How though to stay grounded and rooted in the here and now? That is something that is going to take time to figure out! I am still going to continue reading Dr Joes work as I genuinely believe he has tapped into something phenomenal, but whilst I believe in his methods, its clear to me now that I need to find my own methods and my own ways of meditating, manifesting, and going deeper within.

So, what is my spiritual focus going forward?

My plan is to continue with my yoga practice everyday (even if only half an hour)

Meditate to solfeggio (music based on the frequency of healing) or maybe even mediate to nothing – though this scares me somewhat and feels completely out of my comfort zone, even more the reason to do it, I guess.

Continue my practice of Qi Gong (even this scares me – trusting in the bodies natural ability to heal itself is still something I find difficult to surrender to! I have a long history of health anxiety or what used to be known as hypochondria!

Also, I have been meaning to continue with my search of the higher self. Though I am dubious and often doubt that it is nothing more than my own beautiful imagination it is still something to which I am deeply drawn. Having read the book ‘A souls Journey’* and wanting so much to have my own similar experience to those within, I sort out the mediums and was disheartened when I learnt of the cost! Surely, we can access these realms ourselves if that is what we are being guided towards? So, I’m still very much making this my mission and the first step as I know is to truly trust that connection with the higher self.

*Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born

A fantastic book that looks at our life between lives. Very much from the perspective of reincarnation but looking at the moments directly before we incarnate. Fascinating insights into the lives of a select few who undergo hypnosis to connect to their higher selves and connect to the times when they were devising the plan of their future incarnations. This book looks deeply into the soul-to-soul connections that we have with others known as our ‘soul group’ and how the trials and tribulations that are set before us in this lifetime were planned all along as part of our spiritual development. The key is in knowing why? And what we have come here to learn. What is the key quality that we must imbue in this life’s journey for the most spiritual growth. Granted it might not be everyone’s cup of tea and some will not be open to it at all, which is fair enough. For me though it deeply resonated with my spirit, like a deep knowing that had been there all along and so it is my desire to have my own inner journey to discover my previous plans for this incarnation and is one of the many spiritual endeavours that I shall be writing about.
