A friend came over yesterday and I taught a much needed lesson about basic meditation, followed by basic hypnosis and a huge Q&A session that covered both topics.
The friend, who I have now known for about twelve months, has an older family member who 'dabbles' with spirit contact and who rigidly belives in only one way to practice meditation and spirit contact. He has been shutting down my friend's ability by continually contradicting her ability and almost bullying her about it.
She has come to let me know what she is doing and see if I contradict her practice too.
However, there is never any excuse to bully and get sanctimonious with a young one of the family who shows keen interest and wishes to do this for herself.
That being said, my friend is in their early 30's. Her mind has been opened already, but she has also picked up some bad habits too. This session was about ironing out those habits and creating a safer practice that she and her lived ones would benefit from.
When we came to the meditation session, my friend hadn't heard about spiritual and psychic protection. She knew about opening at the start and closing at the end, but thought it had to involve prayer and never got any more information about it from her elder.
Then I talked about channeled light from the universe as cleansing, healing and helping in different scenarios. I covered spirit guides and the variety of spirit helpers and other worldly beings that can come to be with us at a time of need. We discussed spirit attachment and guide help.
I explained the quantum theory of time not being linear, therefore past life regression, as it is called, is not actually in our past. I could not, however, dive too deeply yet down that rabbit hole. Too much information to bombard a new mind!
So why mention this here on a hypnotherapy page I hear you ask!
It is because I have always had an awareness of spirit and an inquisitive mind, so naturally I grew up researching my emotions and all of the things picked up by my senses that no-one else seemed to have an answer for.
I felt alone, even when I was surrounded by family and friends.
Talking about the subject would get me laughed at, rejected, ridiculed and belittled.... and I was always immature. So I lost all faith and confidence in myself.
I stopped talking about my thoughts, emotions and emerging beliefs to everyone, for self preservation.
By never talking about it again around those who I loved and trusted, I sort of put myself in a cage.
I blamed them for not even trying to understand me.
My desperation to share my world and to find another who had similar occurrences in their life was never rewarded as an adolescent.
Dumped on top of that was racing hormones and a changing body, rejection by potential boyfriends when I figured it was time to tell them my truth.... all adding to the internal frenzy of mixed emotions and...... it resulted in a minor breakdown.
Twenty-five years of 5uicida1 depre5510n followed and life was in a blender.
I pulled slowly away from everyone, isolating more and more, but also needing someone, a listening ear, someone to just hold....
Moving to Cornwall and meeting two complete strangers in two days changed everything and, most profoundly saved my life.
I wasn't a freak, there Were others out there like me, I was not alone. And this made me cry away all of the doubt, all of the rejection and I felt a new emotion. I felt empowered. I felt normal. For the first time in my life I understood that the world had many like me that 'needed the chat'. To be armed with the knowledge that we are simply enlightened souls who are here to love and help others.
How I condense all of that and use it as a heading for this page I haven't quite got there!
I've been waiting for a time to talk more freely about connecting to spirit and to use this knowledge when practicing hypnotherapy and regression.
Those chats are coming soon.
