Hello to all

[GregSticker]

Greetings from Port Arthur, Texas.

I am 41. I work at night at MCM Elegante' Hotel in Beaumont. I work as a dishwasher in the kitcchen. I attend an Orthodox Church in Beaumont. Very spiritual and mystical faith.
I believe we are as a race, embarking on a new energy transferral if you will.... here and shortly in the future. It is no coincidence to me personally that I am feeling a vibrational tug from beyond. Call it God, Higher Self, Ascended Master, whatever it is, these feelings are getting stronger. Especially as Advent for millions of Catholic and Orthodox Christians is approaching. In Advent the believer purifies themself through fasting, deeper prayer, and meditation. This prepares them from fully expressing the birth of Christ. On an Earthly level this culminates with the mass and liturgy of the Church. Inward and on the Ethereal Plane, all this consciousness helps for the planetary birth of Messiah. Christ is born Glorify Him!
We are entering Advent on Earth and in the Ethereal Plane. This Advent could be the culmination of the Era of the Second Advent. The rebirth of the Christ Consciousness worldwide.
By deeper forms of meditation we should try our best to Astral Project and meet on the ethreal Plane and each one of us purify our souls and possibly even receive instruction from our mentors, higher selves, et cetera to do whatever it is we should be doing towards enhancing this new age energy of healing. Anyone wishing to email me feel free to do so.

Hi, Greg, welcome. I only joined a few days ago myself. I'm enjoying it here. I hope to see some more posts from you.

Welcome, Greg!

We are entering Advent on Earth and in the Ethereal Plane. This Advent could be the culmination of the Era of the Second Advent. The rebirth of the Christ Consciousness worldwide.

The thesis I guess you could call it of my statement is that last line towards the end of my previous post. Now if I may let me first say thanks Kodemaster and Skippy, for the warm welcome. I would like to browse the forum and the rest of the site and purchase the book advertised online. Seems to me this is what I have needed. I always believed that there indeed is an untapped reservoir of healing in OBE's. Problem is for me anyway, I have not had much success with being able to actually leave my body. I am hoping to link up with someone who perhaps could help me to meditate properly and calm myself down enough to go "out there." Once I do get out, I would like to go to the realm of what I call the Holy Spirit. There I would like to perhaps meet my guardian angel and receive a deep cleansing. I have been told by psychics before that there is a dark aura around me that needs to be dispelled. In the physical world I tend to be introverted and none too talkative. I do get along with people, but sometimes like at work, I stress out and appear rude. I hate that. I try then to over compensate by being sometimes too down on myself for even the slightest instance where I might have offended someone. This results in my total about face and being overly apologetic or being melodramatically friendly. Am I making any sense? I want that annoying character flaw changed. Another thing, and I'll address it later. Can you heal a person of an annoying habit, or even drug addiction? Could I go to a friend who right now is struggling with a chemical dependency and heal them of this bad thing? Just a love message sent to them, could I do that?

[Skippy]

You're making perfect sense to me, Greg.  I can understand where you're coming from. I can be a bit similar sometimes myself. I'm quite shy and I can sometimes become overly emotional about things and create quite a scene.

[GregSticker]

Good. Now that I am assured that I am making sense, what then of my sentiments about Astral Projection as  a force for healing. Would anyone care to help me out on a litle meditation work?

[Skippy]

Unfortunately, I'm not very experienced myself, Greg. I do think it sounds logical that astral projection could be used for healing, however.

As for mediation...well, everyone always says to try to clear your mind when you meditate. Maybe listening to some soft, gentle music would help as well. I'm not really sure.

When I first started meditaing I just worked on my breathing first.  A few deep cleansing breaths, then take a breath while counting to four.. hold for four then let it out to the count of four..repeat. (you can start with two or three and work your way up) Once you got the breathing down without having to count..lol. you can add visuals like white lights, working with your chakras.. whatever is good for you.  Then when I got that down I realized my mind wouldn't shut the heck up, so to learn to focus and quiet it, I would go outside to the park. 

I would sit on a bench and close my eyes... if you're not comfortable with what people will think because you have your eyes closed, open is fine..just look straight ahead..but don't pay attention to what you see.  I would then focus on one noise...like the leaves blowing in the trees...focus on that to the point of you not hearing anything else but the leaves... then redirect your focus on something else.. like birds or children laughing and playing or the guy mowing his lawn down the street.  I started making it a game to see how far something could be or how close...like a insect buzzing inches away or the police car two miles down the road.   Keep doing this until you can manage to quiet everything else except what you are actually focused on, then put them together.. and presto!  you have a good balanced meditation.

Hope this helps or at the very least gives you some ideas.
