Catching up from the weekend

Random notes from Saturday's workshop.

I wrote "synchronicities" and "serendipity"... but I don't recall the reason, other than the idea that sometimes our intuition is in play when things seem oddly synchronous or serendipity happens.

Presenter: "Universe is conspiring for my success"

"Opening the intuition to receive our guidance."

Sometimes the ego (in the freudian sense, I think) can get in the way of our intuition.

We practiced readings repeatedly. Using Doreen Virtue cards of whatever variety people had. I like my angel deck. I think I also like the ascended masters deck. W, the other presenter, used an "archangel" deck, I think, when reading for me.

I note that my RATIONAL MIND resists these notions. Yet my experience and observations belie the idea that there's "nothing" to it.

Afternoon, we also talked about the importance setting healthy energetic boundaries and of energetic hygiene:

* Cut the etheric cords
* Ask Archangel Michael to help to cut the cords
* Chakra chop

General routine:

1. Prayer blessing and centering of the practioner (and/ the readee, if possible I suppose)
2. Reading.
3. Hygiene
4. Send angel or other energy toward the person if necessary / appropriate afterward.

W commented about a typical 3 card reading where you have the 1) issue, 2) the action, 3) the outcome

He also commented that often he's found that the reading is substantially similar whether reading from left to right or vice versa.

Another comment the L (main presenter) made was that there's a recent "redisovery" of a chakra -- back of the head, ancient wisdom.

(we did an attunement, guided, that used the crown chakra and this chakra together with the third eye chakra.)

Odd late p.m.

B and I... as posted, she went into a bit of a withdrawal.

Interestingly, my heart chakra is feeling something since late in the afternoon. She and I can be so connected energetically, that my chakra may be reflecting the strain or anxiety or whatever.

The other possibility is M. W, the reader, told me that M is likely to act out as badly or worse than ever in the near future. He thought it would be very serious. I know that means that if she harms herself it could be successful or nearly so.

I suspect that if that's happened, I might feel that in my heart chakra as well....

But it's more likely B and whatever is going on there.

I don't rightly know what to think about that!! I want to be very careful about getting back into an addictive relationship....

Is it her or me when I feel this odd feeling in my heart chakra.... ??

Today readings and more

Today was a day for readings and body work. I took B because I knew she'd both enjoy it and benefit. She would be a good addition to this community, too. She's gifted in the energies. She's hooked in with some others in town that I think bear less light. I hope she'll feel drawn in to this new community kindled this weekend.

Meanwhile, I had a good reading from W, one of presenters. There's more to be said....

B, meanwhile, is a little thrown by the reading she got from T (my intuitive). I didn't get much out of B about it, but she was a little regretful for the info / responsiblity that came with the reading.... I did gather it's about her and me.... and something about not knowing that she "wanted the responsibility"... we'll see if she shares more.

Meanwhile, we spent some more time together after, but the energy became a little wan and withdrawn. She definitely pulled in some tonight. We'll have to see what transpires.

I find myself in need of a bit of a recharge after these two days. Just need to rest and absorb.

postscript: I felt as if B was taking some space today, since she didn't contact me at all. We saw each other at a mutual activity tonight, but we each tend to do our own thing there and keep our own interactions a bit muted. But, still, I wonder if she's gone into one of her "quiet" periods, where her anxiety or thoughts nearly overwhelm, so she withdraws....

We shall see.

Saturday's workshop

Sent to an intuition workshop Saturday. Focused on undertanding that all have some degree of intutition. Most people confuse clairvoyance with intuition. Clairvoyance is only one of several "clairs". Our instructors were certified Doreen Virtue angel trainers, and we used her decks in our practice.

It was instructive, inspiring, intriguing, and fun. I really enjoy people of this mindset, even as I continually wrestle with a rather "agnostic" attitude toward anything metaphysical. Still, it seems like there is something there and not nothing.

I don't consider myself terribly intuitive, although I've come to realize I am moreso than I give myself credit for. As I did readings at the workshop, I read for people better than I might ever have expected.

We learned about the "four clairs" which helps me understand better this energetic philosophy, ESP, or whatever.

I like these explanations from other sources (which saves me from writing out much):

Wikipedia has related terms listed under clairvoyance, including terms for extra-smell and extra-taste as well as those more common to the lightworker community dialog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairvoyance

http://www.geocities.com/lilly_light/4-clairs.html is wordy and not as literate, either literally or energetically, as I'd like. But there is some valuable information.

http://ezinearticles.com/?Healing-Touch---The-4-Clairs-to-Spiritual-Guidance-in-Healing-Work&id=953965 has a brief explanation that is very pithy and apropos, so I'm quoting it. But one will benefit from reviewing more detailed info. Quoting:

There are four ways (the 4 clairs) we receive spiritual guidance-

1. Clear seeing or clairvoyance

2. Clear hearing or clairaudience

3. Clear feeling or clairsentience

4. Inner knowing or claircognizance

Clear seeing is not just about seeing "auras" or angel lights-it also includes dreams and visions.

Clear hearing is not just about "hearing voices"-it's about voice, music and sound.

Clear feeling is not just about sensing what someone is feeling-it also includes emotions, gut instincts and intuitions.

And Inner knowing is really about knowing things without having learned them in ordinary ways-it is when we receive thoughts, ideas and concepts that we clearly did not have before we received them.

The good news is that we each possess all four of these abilities to receive God's guidance to us. In fact, we are hard-wired for them but some are more endowed than others.

B & me

Well, here it is two weeks later. At this point B and I have attended a concert together (kinda, we both decided we wanted to go so I saved her a seat, etc).

and one thing leads to another and now we're talking again regularly. We've even slept together, twice this week. Literally. Slept and cuddled.

I'm feeling better about this at the moment. Although, her tendency to get anxious and hide that until she wants to talk (or act) is a bit too much like my Ex. Nonetheless, I enjoy her company and I actually don't think she's emotionally dependent or demanding. Just some of her coping mechanismss that make me feel / respond with old tapes. Working on that.

To that end, I want to talk to her and gauge how the whole anxiety thing is going. I know a large part of it was the (unexpressed) rivalry / jealousy toward A2. THIS time, I'm going to try and stay OUT of that morass. Each relationship needs to stand on its own. One may rise above the others and become that lifetime / forever thing. But.... all relationships for me right now need to be pretty laid back and easy and undemanding. No expectations. No guilt, etc.

To that end I want to check on that, AND I want to converse about becoming lovers. This could happen just on its own, but I'd much prefer to have talked about it and have us make every attempt for that particular involvement to be fully volitional.

But, I have come to a realization that I would like to take B as a lover. But, by that, I don't intend to give up A2 at this point. Hopefully neither will put me in a precarious or compromizing position.

As I said, each needs to stand on its own.
