The mystic path is not an easy one and was triditionally thought from teacher to student, the teacher was there to asisst the student making sure he arrived safely on his journey.

There are many side effects that can arise from energy work and other mystical exercises. Each case is usually not the same as it may vary from one person to the next based on what types of exercises they were doing.  Not to cause a stir  here but there are quite a few who had to be admitted to mental insitutions from dabbling in the mystical sciences without any real guidance.

Usually when you begin to encounter these side effects one thing that helps is to discontinue any more mystical exercises for a while and instead focus on positive things that you did just before you started this journey

Hi all,

Excellent points! It is interesting how energy work as an expression of spiritual practice or esoteric work can give rise to apparently negative emotions and feelings, which in turn can seem to distract the aspirant from their path. Obviously anger as one of the more powerful feelings that can have occasion to arise, if not transmuted into a positive feeling or at least released to potentially lead to actual harm to others and oneself.

Martial Arts were mentioned before on this thread, and in my experience have great value in providing a safe growth promoting vehicle for the individual experiencing these feelings. Many years ago I and a number of friends took up Aikido for example. At the time we lived in an extremely violent society (Ulster), and it enabled us and certainly me to move beyond exteriorising angst in a negative manner.

Interestingly one translation we were given for Aikido was 'way of gentle peace and harmony. Which was an apt description don't you think! A little about O Sensei from one site (See: http://www.sfu.ca/~aikido/overview.html): -

Aikido is a relatively new self-defensive art, founded in Japan by Professor Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). As a youth, Ueshiba Sensei, or O-Sensei (Great Teacher) as he was called, applied himself to many years of intense training in budo, or the Japanese martial arts. He was a master of Jiu-jitsu, the spear, and the staff, and was considered unbeatable with the sword. O'Sensei also delved deeply into religion and the meaning of life, studying Zen Buddhism and Shinto. Although he became very strong and won many challenges, Ueshiba Sensei was troubled with the idea that winning at someone else's expense was not true victory. Though he was an acknowledged master, he began to study movement and technique even more intensely, and he eventually came to realize that true self-defense was not winning over others, but winning over the discord within oneself.

Enjoy,

Hi Tayesin,


Know exactly what you mean! Unfortunately a great part of the New Age movement is one big fat Ego factory!

But sure that you can rise above all the do da []... Perhaps the people you were dealing with did not deserve your effort... no doubt there will (be many), who do and will truly value your efforts... Every little bit is noted and counts for the good of all - as you know!

Hi Stephen,

I will try this for a few nights in a row and see if I get any repeated images. I'll post on monday.

One thing I get quite clearly though is a green rugby jersey with white writing on it. I think this is more related to you than the images though. Is it the Irish rugby jesrsey by any chance??

Kind regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Well I do have to admit I own a rather tatty Irish Rugby Jersey with a white colour and Shamrock badge on a white background emblem. Which reminds me that it has been festering in my laundry basket for a while (phewy), and needs a right good wash.

Sadly it has nothing to do with the images in mind, but I have had a Irish connection over the whole weekend as I been spending time with N Irish friends and relatives.

Good one,

Hi,

I appreciate that you may have had precognitive experiences. These are not uncommon and I had had more than a few as well. Personally I chose to move beyond worrying about them and have concentrated on other areas of personal development.

I was introduced to a friend of a friend who I found out had like yourself had chosen to send details to a governmental authority of some of his premonitions. Although this forum welcomes a wide range of topic subjects it more focuses on the Out of Body experience on the whole. You may find it more worthwhile to do a simple Google on 'Premonition Registries' – this should enable you to post your experiences at least with some reasonable level of confidentiality (if there is such a thing on the Net).

Also worth considering is that any precognition is simply a Potential of a future event (either personal or on larger scale), and as such may or may not come about! My personal feel on this and with respect to the individual briefly discussed above is that one needs to become distanced or at least seek a safe vantage point for oneself in order to be able to react and live with these experiences with a reasonable and safe level of detachment.

What I have noticed is too many people become overly haunted by these experiences, as for instance the chap I mentioned had been driven to wits end and eventually sought assistance in coming out with his personal concern and worry. As far as I understand he is more comfortable in himself and is more capable of dealing with his experiences.

It also comes down to personal choice in whether we wish to continue to have these experiences. Sometimes sending your higher self or subconscious self a clear thought that we respect and appreciate that the experience has occurred, and at the same time stating clearly that we have somehow had a calling to seek deeper understating of our spiritual nature etc. This can often abate the frequency this type of often profound experience and move us into a more loving or balanced new space of being. For myself and others I have seen that this works and I have been able get beyond that scary place of fear or worry based mindset.

you may find it beneficial to take on board perhaps a new interests in self discovery such as meditation or similar. Preferably under the guidance of a respectable teacher! They would be able to help you to learn how to gain control of experiences like precognition and enable you to grow and learn about yourself in a safe and comfortable environment.

Hope this is of some help,

Im not sure what to think of that. I seem to have the opposite problem. I cant seem to shake them off. Its really getting annoying. Especally since all my clocks are going weird. My watch dosnt read right, neither do any of the fri&*in clocks in our house. All er anywhere between 5-10 mins off. And I just reset them not even a week ago.

Hi Philip,

From what reading your post and a few of your earlier ones – it seems in my mind you are or have been wide open psychically.

I am not a paranormal researcher, but I used to have a similar issue with electrical equipment and clocks etc, and like you it used to concern me as I could not fathom what was going on. I feel this is attributed to ones own power and from personal experience things like this seemed to occur when I was under stress for whatever reason. For instance I observed that powerful emotional outbursts seemed to precipitate this type of phenomena rather than when I was in a calm peaceful state. In other words the more frustrated you get the one energy will flare. Have a look at the illustrations in B A Brennan's 'Hands of Light' or 'Light Emerging' where the illustrations depict how the medical intuitive is able to perceive auric spikes and daggers projecting into the environment and towards other peoples e.g.. During a heated discussion or argument!

In a sense this is like a form of uncontrolled intent as one seems focused on the stress or object of concern itself. So might be not dissimilar to how say for example magical or martial arts training aims to enable the operator to project their intent to perform apparently physical acts using the mind. Or how Table Tipping, TK and spoon bending work as action follows the mind, but then you know that anyway!

Rather than advise you to do this or that practice – it is worth saying that the body and ones energy will tend to balance anyhow over time. I am sure you already have a wealth of literature to enable you to find your own level yourself. Although usually the best thing to do is simply have a break and simply go out and enjoy life for a bit.

Take care,


Stephen []

Hi Kathryn,

Welcome to the forum, and sorry to learn of your addiction problem. It is difficult to know how to best answer your question. I have been a heavy drinker in the past, but for me it was simply a matter of cutting back (basically I decided that I had had enough), and do not drink for weeks if not months and then only socially.

Although I do know and have known people with a variety of substance abuse and addictive issues! Baring only one or two individuals with clinical chemical/psychological addiction - the people I know either consciously choose to either refrain or maintain their mode of behaviour! I could say more, but would prefer others to add their feedback on the thread.

I feel that although Negs (as coined by Robert Bruce) have associations with people with addictive or obsessive behaviours and mindsets - it is in fact the individual who has the ability to seek and find resolution/closure to their problems. I can only assume from reading your profile that you also enjoy a healthy respect for personal well being, and can see clearly that you have chosen to do something about your issues.

I commend you wholeheartedly on seeking help as that is the best place to start. There are plenty of people here who are probably better qualified to help you than myself, but just be aware that your call has been heard.

I appreciate my words may not have been of much solace, but I hope they help at least a little.

Kind wishes,


Stephen []

Hi Boats,

I personally do not have any issue with you posting about Orbs etc. Only thing is perhaps for you to use another forum area in place of 'Welcome to OBE discussions' for Orb threads.

All the best,

Now I'm confused even more lol, because I don't know what you mean by Earthed, balanced, and centred.

Good luck to your inner search on this obviously deeply elusive and personal issue []

CptPicard,

Don't panic there is nothing wrong with you at all.

Although not an NFSH healer and having had more man hours in practical exposure to other aspects of mediumship (Note: many like to say that healing is mediumship and mediumship is healing), all the same I have had an interest in healing for a few years and am quite sensitive to energetic changes etc.

Certainly what I found early in my development was that my levels of sensitivity varied just as widely as you have expressed, and have been continually evolving and becoming more refined over time.

I suspect that is simply the case for you as well. Take it as part of the parcel and worry no more!

Kind wishes,


Stephen

Hi Kristina,

A warm welcome to the forum.

I also have had episodes of insomnia on and off over a long periods time, and also recently (although that is simply behavioural on my part). Several years shift work had not helped either, and created additional stress on my system. In my late 30's I realised that I (for one) needed to take a big life review. As per many schools of thought the body really does store up accumulated stress over time and this compounded my sleep pattern. I realised that I needed to tackle this before it became a serious health issue.

To deal with this I took the complementary route and avoided the allopathic solution like the plague. Things I have found useful included: a complete dietary change (now mostly vegetarian and organic), a return to hatha yoga, meditation and deep relaxation techniques. I also realised there were underlying core issues as well! So I then chose to explore this further and started to practice self healing methods initially employing the UK medium Betty Shine's mind magic/power methods, and then chose to seek hands on and distant spiritual healing. For me this overall approach made a tremendous difference on many levels, although it was very cathartic in a positive way!

In more recent times (like many here) I have found distinct benefit in using Robert Bruce's methods as explained in his books and articles e.g. Healing With The Heart - Mystic Heart Center Healing Method see:

http://www.astralpulse.com/articles/robert/articles_45.htm

You may already have the following books, but I have a small (very inexpert), but growing interest in this issue and had recently come across the classic book: The Good Sleep Guide by Michael Van Straten. Also worth looking at is the brief but excellent: Herbal Medicine – Sleep & Relaxation by Dr Desmond Corrigan.

I could only speculate whether or not your insomnia has any correlation to what I have discussed above. In the mean time I would be really pleased to add your name to my healing list.

Hope this helps in some part?

Kind wishes,

It is with great Sadness that I must inform you that Joan passed away earlier this Week. Joan's family have asked me to thank you all for what you did for her...

The doctor's were confused as to how Joan's lungs almost cleared of fluid (they were quite shocked) - but sadly this was not enough as Joans Cancer had spread throughout her body...

Thanks for your help and support.

Hi,

Appreciate you taking time to post the update of the sad news of Joan's passing.

Okay, I think I got it. Basically you just learn to listen? And if I focus my intent on listening for my higher self(or spirit guides) they will eventually send me a message of some sort when I am ready for it? When I am doing this awareness exercise, and expanding my awareness. Can I at this time pose a question of some sort to look for an answer or what do you suggest I do?

I'm sorry for all the questions but that's just the way I am, I want to know before I engage []. So should I ask something when I am expanding my awareness, and what if I don't get any answers or signs for say.. a few months? The defense rests your honor [8D]

Hi,

Go for it Bluejay... []

Would love to hear how you get on!

A tremendous post EOL007, thanks [^]

I just want to clarify that I have gotten it all straight. Basically just sit down, relax and try to expand your awareness. But then one question, How do I get in touch with my higher self or a spirit guide?

Consider this - You are already intimately connected with your divine self and always have been! Think of it as a process of remembering...

quote:Do they just come if I do this exercise?

They are already there!

quote:I suppose I will have to ask for them?

Send a loving thought of acknowledgement with intent!

quote:Do you think you could go into more detail with this, or have I misunderstood? [)]

You have not misunderstood – just remember. Perhaps think back as far as you can go say for instance to your earliest childhood memory, or say imagine a parent or guardian holding your hand and looking into your eyes. In a sense the connection you have with you is the same and so much more. Or put it another way allow yourself to remember who and what you truly are, and think of it as a little visit home [].

Apologies for the cryptic answers [)]

Good luck and have lots of fun,
