oh! That's good to know! It's nice to receive these details - it fills in the gaps :) Thank you! :hearts: :hearts:

-

I have noticed in my meditations that the images often appear at certain locations of my visual field - either on the right or left side; looking up or looking down. I remembered that in Psychology, NLP and Body Language, it means certain things when a person looks in certain directions, and was curious if this could be applied to where the visions appear during meditation. I'll put this helpful chart here to refer back to:



This is the chart for when you look at the individual (so your "right" or "left", not theirs)
RIGHT + UP = Visual Remembered
RIGHT + SIDE = Auditory Remembered
RIGHT + DOWN = Internal dialogue

LEFT + UP = Visual Constructed
LEFT + SIDE = Auditory Constructed
LEFT + DOWN = Kinaesthetic

(Memory aid: Right = Remembered)

(So it should be the mirror image of this on yourself - but actually I think I'm finding for me it works as above strangely! :lol: )

Looking back at previous entries, this adds new understanding to how the visions are working. It seems images of things I'm familiar with, like objects I've seen before (like the walnut), are forming on the right upper side, and images that are original imagined pictures (like the time I saw a vision of something taking off into the sky right above me - something that never happened) are forming on the left upper side. Seems to apply successfully to visions then! And the time I heard the word "napalm" came from the Auditory Remembered area - which makes sense since the word sounded familiar, like I've heard it before. It works! (well in mirror image to how it's meant to, but still! :lol: )
Very interesting! :monocle-still:

I'm aware this will add another thing to try not to get distracted by during the meditation :lol: But I guess that just means I'm gonna have to level up my meditating skills! :bowtie:

I find this fascinating! But...you can keep this in your head AND meditate in the same time??? :wtf:

Why does that serve you?
(Please never mind if you don't want to discuss this!!! I'm curious, but this is YOUR thread, and please tell me if I'm bothering you!) :) ...*I* always thought that meditation is pure Beingness, no intention etc., "no thought". At least, that's how I received it. How do you attempt it? :hearts:

Yes, after learning this, I was thinking it may be distracting to know this :lol:

I'm hoping that during meditation I'll be able to keep a clear head and NOT keep this new information in my head at that time. The idea IS "no thought" as you say.

It served me while researching because it was interesting / feel-good to read AFTER the meditation, and answered a question I had about "does the location of the images I see in my field of vision mean anything?" - but it doesn't really serve during the meditation. I have a feeling this is one of those things I'll have to let go of, as really, other than being "interesting", it doesn't truly matter. :hearts:

(And no! You're not bothering me at all! I love our interactions! Here and in every thread! :in_love: )

:) ahh, now I understand! :hearts: I was blown away by the idea that you would HOLD that thoughts :shock: :o :lol: (but who knows... maybe there is really a totally new level of meditation!) ;) Thank you for clarifying! :kiss:

Day 10:
Today I did the simple Abraham meditation of listening to the sounds in the room (after setting the intentions for meditation before starting).

- There were moments of feeling light-headed
- There were moments of feeling as if my head wanted to tip back, but it didn't

- I had some heartburn at the start of the meditation, asked my spiritual helpers if they could help me feel comfortable in my body, and within seconds the heartburn lessened quite a bit. Thank you spirit helpers! :hearts:

- For a moment I saw a moving image clip of hands examining a gold necklace with a clear glass pendant. The glass was flat, thin and round. (Location on field of vision: straight ahead, slightly raised)

Like the above but flatter and more like the glass in spectacles or a window. The glass was completely easy to see through and everything looked sharp and undistorted through it.

I later had the thought that it could be a symbol for clarity. It's a "disc of clarity"! The fact that it's being handled, but not worn may mean that clarity is within reach and is being played with and thought about, but may not be fully "worn" yet.

Day 11:
Today I did a 15 minute version of Suzanne Giesemann's Sip of the Divine meditation, which is very similar to Abraham's meditation.

Experiences:
In today's meditation, the main sensation I received was sensations in my ears. Like changes of pressure in the ears - not uncomfortable in any way - but noticeable. Sensations that felt internal and sort of felt like my ears were going to sleep, then coming back online - in a loop. A little like when you switch a stereo speaker on or off and you can feel the difference in the energy it has, or in the slightly different electrical feel of it when it's on or off.


My head felt quite light, and had that desire to tip back here and there.

No visuals today.

Day 12:
I did the BLESS ME method today.

Experiences:

- For a second I saw sand, swirling gently in liquid. I think it represents that the sand has not settled enough yet for me to receive clearly. I'm waiting for it to settle, so that the path to communication will look clearer.

(Image location: straight ahead, slightly raised, slightly to right side)
I guess in this metaphor, the sand is my thoughts and / or certain unaligned / imbalanced emotions which are active, swirling around within my energy. I feel like I'm not a clear clean channel yet - I feel I still want to raise my vibration higher. Doing my best to achieve this via Abe practices :)

- I saw a hand engaged in what I think was jewellery-making. The hand was holding a pair of tweezers that had a tiny silver ball held in it, and they were trying to attach the silver ball to a bigger jewellery piece with a pink gemstone and other gems around it. Suddenly the image changed - where all elements of this picture started drifting apart - the spaces between all the elements expanded, as if there was a lot of space between everything. A LOT of space. Like the distance between the pink gemstone and the place it was set in (inside the jewellery) was a huge amount of white space. There was a vast amount of space between everything even though a moment ago it was snugly fitted together.

I interpreted this in the moment as perhaps a peek into the non-physical dimension between the physical things.
(Image location: top right)

Out of curiosity, I did an internet search for what pink gemstones may represent:
Pink gemstones are often associated with love, affection, and the heart chakra
Pink Topaz: In the realm of spiritual and metaphysical beliefs, pink topaz serves as a conduit for heart chakra energies. The stone’s energy is said to gently open the heart, and aids in balancing and activating this chakra.,

Because of its connection to the heart chakra, pink topaz is believed to inspire and promote love. It is also believed that this colour of topaz symbolises eternity.
This description feels like a good fit :) I like that it also mentions eternity - since it felt like there was an eternity of space between the pink gem and the rest of the image.

- Still seeing skulls popping in and out of view throughout the meditation - I'm still trying to raise my vibration to rise above the fear that is still an active disc within me. At least now they don't feel as scary when they do pop up - I can dismiss them without it activating almost any feelings of fear.

To complete the meditation I sent appreciation and love to my Inner Being, Spirit Guides, helpers, angels and beings of love and light that are helping me.

Day 13:
Full Bless Me meditation.

Experiences:

- I saw that long black tube going into the unknown again. Going downwards, deep down. I still think this represents my continuing journey into the spiritual unknown.
(Image location: lower right)

- I saw a little boy, maybe 3 or 4 years old, with wavy brown curls and a sweet pale, freckled face. His energy seemed a little shy / timid. He was biting his lip a little nervously. I'm not yet sure what this represents. Maybe it represents my own trepidation about the journey into the unknown?

(Image location: lower right)

- I saw a golden and orange coloured sky with big fluffy white clouds which were lit up with beautiful white light. From behind the clouds I saw light in sort of the shape of an angel, rising up from the top of the clouds. It was very abstract, with smooth edges of light, and there was no halo - just pure white light.

While I saw this I got a few chill-like sensations in my body.
(Image location: upper right)

- There were a few moments of pleasant chills across my upper arms mostly.

That's all for today :hearts:

Day 14: BLESS ME method meditation

A bit of an experimental one today. I had a go trying to ask my spirit guide(s) for their name(s)*. I think this was perhaps too ambitious an ask at this time of my very very early meditative development - because all the information I got felt very fuzzy and uncertain so I'm not sure if any of it is right or if it was me making it up, but this is what I thought I received in this fuzzy way:

- Spirit guide 1 name: "Israel" (or possibly "Ishmael"), masculine energy. I asked him what he helps me with, and I saw an abstract shape like a peacock's tail feather, with lots of bold strong colours including red, black and gold, which I interpreted as "creativity". His energy felt simple and bold. And I felt like he was a dark-skin-coloured man. I asked him how long he's been with me, and I got since I was 8 years old. He seemed to be easier to communicate with which makes me feel like maybe he is on a slightly lower vibration that's easier to reach than spirit guide 2.

- Spirit guide 2 name: "Ala", which felt a soft, feminine, elegant, graceful energy. I asked her what she helps me with and I saw gold, pink, white and peach coloured flowing shapes. I'm not sure what that means. I asked her how long she's been with me, and I didn't really hear an answer, but I had a feeling that it maybe has been a very long time. Maybe even since birth.

I finished by asking if I could receive evidence to let me know that what I'm receiving is right and not me making it up, and I await to see if any evidence shows up :hearts:

-

* The last time I had a meditation phase of life a year ago, I also tried to receive my Spirit Guide's name (via doing a guided meditation by Vishen from Mind Valley, in the youtube video "Harnessing Intuition by Communicating with your Spiritual Guides | Vishen", - he explains the method from about 14 minutes in, and does the guided meditation from about 17 minutes in.)
At that time I received 2 different names then. But their energy was very similar to what I received this time. It was also one masculine dark-skinned, bold simple energy and one graceful light feminine energy - so maybe it's the same two spirit guides. I know non-physical energies don't technically have names and they just give us names if we ask for them but they're not really their names.

-

This exploration is purely for fun and curiosity's sake. :)

Day 15: BLESS ME method

Today I received an inspiration after listening to a podcast with Suzanne Giesseman and Michael Sandler on Inspire Nation (Episode title "How Humanity will ASCEND - Make Sure You CHOOSE the EASY Path! Suzanne Giesemann", 58 minutes in). In the podcast, Suzanne mentioned that she asked her Spirit Guides (her Abraham) to show her a visual symbol for "yes" and a visual symbol for "no" so that she has a short-hand way to communicate with them via these set symbols. Her symbols are a thumbs up for yes, and crossed arms forming an X-shape for no. I really liked this idea of creating such a shorthand with your Spirit team and was eager to try this too! So once I went through all the BLESS ME routine to get into a relaxed, expanded, higher vibration receiving mode, I posed the question:
What can you show me that will be our symbol for "yes"? And then I asked the same for "no".

In my eagerness I felt myself wanting to suggest symbols rather than receiving symbols. I tried to quieten my mind to RECEIVE the answer rather than come up with it myself.

Unfortunately I didn't see or hear anything clear this time round. I felt like I was seeing a jumble of fuzzy unclear shapes and possibilities but nothing I could really say "I definitely saw this".

I felt my disappointment, and then in response I got thoughts along the lines of: "Don't rush it. Relax. There is plenty of time. There is always another chance to communicate and receive next meditation. Don't push. Just relax into receiving. It will come in good time. Don't force it. No insistance. Just practice being in receiving mode and practice receiving."

That's all for today :hearts:
