Opening the Psychic Self
Posted: Sun Apr 04, 2021 10:18 pm
I had written on another thread:
´´When I was very young my best friend had asked me to come to church with her and her family. And I went, to see. I was sitting there in the pew, opening my psychic self up to try to determine if there was something there...´´
One of our members wrote to ask if I could explain what I mean when I mention opening up my psychic self. What do I do to open?
This is a very interesting question for me because I never really gave it thought before. It's just an instinctive intuitive something I have done from a very young age. So to be asked to detail what it entails is an interesting exercise for me because I have to actually think about it and write it down.
Thanks for the question. I hope you don't mind I'm answering it on the forum. It just occurred to me maybe other people would find this an interesting topic as well.
So basically what I do is I deliberately slow down my breaths. Taking deep measured inhales and exhales while at the same time I send out roots that sink deep into the earth. So I'm grounded. Then I open my arms, open my self. If I'm standing, it looks exactly the same as the mountain pose.
It feels like the petals of a flower unfolding. This sensation of opening begins at the heart chakra and extends up to the crown chakra. I 'see' these opening like the petals of a flower. And then from within the chakras I extend tendrils of energy out, like the stamens that extrude from the throat of a flower.
Carlos Castenada wrote of this. Don Juan told him about the energy cords that extend from one person to another. Every time we are having interactions with others, we are unconsciously extending these energetic tendrils, cords of energy from our chakras, to theirs. These cords resemble (if you were seeing them) pseudopodia, temporary extrusions of energy.....that act as a tactile sense organ. You can extend them and gain sensory impressions through them. At the same time as I focus on these, on opening to the impressions they pick up, I'm also looking outward with my third eye. I'm looking for the energy in the place.
Mountain pose is what it looks like. If I'm standing up, I'll take mountain pose, sink roots deep, open the upper chakras, extend tendrils of energy from them, feeling my chakras spiralling open like flowers....and then just be present in stillness and listen to what comes. Focus the attention.
Sensations will come in. You might get flashes of sensory impressions: these can be a taste, a smell...a sense of knowing. It might be an impression of sadness or light, It could be a sensation of calm, or of heaviness. These all mean things. The main thing is just to relax and allow whatever is coming in, to come.
Its like reading a tarot spread. Each bit of impression is like one card and you receive a 'spread' of impressions, which then combine to form a picture.
I was sitting in a pew yes, but its the same process. And what I got was a total sensation of lifelessness. Also in the people there. Knowing what I know now, I understand how the church is siphoning off energy, which is why these people were depleted and 'grey'.
The place was grey. Meaning the energy I 'saw' in this space was grey (which is a death energy).
I can see energy if I focus and 'open' myself. The energy I was picking up in that church was a stark contrast to the vibrantly alive outdoors of nature which is where I usually spent my weekends. And then I heard a telepathic voice say:
“There is no god here.”
So I knew it was a waste of time. And that if I wanted to make contact with my own god, I was better off out in nature surrounded by other forms of life. There is no god to be found in false idols and the buildings that are made to house the worship of them.
That's what I was shown/told.
I think I was 14 at the time.
