GETTING INTO THE FEELING PLACE OF... AMUSEMENT (feeling amused)

When I feel amused,
it feels light-hearted
it feels light and bright
it feels easy
it feels like a light joy
like a lightly bouncing helium balloon
it feels like appreciation of the subject that is amusing
it feels like a feeling that comes from the heart
it feels like an easy smile, and a light chuckle
it feels like dancing eyes,
or like a mischievious twinkle in the eyes
It feels like a kind of care-freeness
it feels like being yourself
it feels like letting your guard down and allowing the lightness in
It feels like nothing is so serious

One of my favourite memories of amusement is when I spoke to my friend late into the night, and he had an early morning meeting the next day. So I wished for him to wake up "bright eyed and bushy tailed", to which he responsed "I'll try not to sleep on my tail!" This definitely set off my amusement! And also a strong sense of love and appreciation for him, his sweetness and his quick-thinking wit

In my dream I was with my spiritual friends (in the heart connected with my partner) and then I saw an alien and I realised that there are more entities gathered there. It was strange. The alien just showed up on the right or left side of my shoulder. He looked like greenish/blueish, big black eyes, more narrow jaw than in your pic. He just made an appearance in a short glimpse of time, that’s all

I was listening to a Bashar clip today where someone asked about a dream they had that included aliens and Bashar said that this was the aliens' way of gently introducing themselves to society in a non-threatening way, to help humans get used to their presence gradually, so that humans won't feel as much fear around them. I wonder if this is what your dream was!

Maybe

I had a handful of dreams where I connected with other consciousness in my dream. One was “Hands-in-the-clay” in that dream I sense it was not only my consciousness but I clearly sense it was her and she was telling me about abundance.

The funny thing that back then I posted this on an old Abe forum and that’s what hands on the clay responded (I managed to send a screenshot I shared with my brother back then):
I also had magnificent experience with Shiva ( we meditated at yoga with his mantra and then his consciousness appeared in my dream there was a man standing but I knew it’s not human but consciousness and that’s how really shiva is presented and that’s what he really is; the dream had more spiritual things and magnificent feelings to where I will not go now….which opened my eyes that there is indeed something there… before that I was kinda ignoring the theory in yoga (P.s. when I combined prayer for shiva and Abraham process to attract a partner I cannot explain the magical unfolding that happened…)

Tara is of course not my name, she is one of the Mahavidyas to whom I’m close. But this year I was meditating with Kali… I was seeing black cats everywhere & she even came in my dream as a black cat and her loving (full of warm and love) brown eyes were looking directly at mine.. she is an energy of transformation Kali is normally presented quite different but she is associated with black colour, however, when I told my teacher of these synchronicities she told me that one yogi (I think she said Gopi Krishna worshiped Kali as a black cat )

So long story short maybe it was a true alien. he did not speak but his appearance in my dream made me realise that in that dream was not only my yoga friends but also other entities

Sorry for interrupting your thread…

wow! I loved hearing all these experiences! So amazing and magical!

I feel like you have a natural talent to access incredible levels of spiritual experiences through your dreams!


Thank you for sharing!

PIVOTING:

I had a thought today to help pivot when I notice negative emotions in me:

When I was thinking about a negative emotion / state i was in, I thought -
How lucky I am that I'm alive and am here to experience feelings - even if they are feelings like this.
I'm glad to be alive - And feeling whatever I'm feeling is just a reminder that I get to be alive right now! I get to experience life!

And I can choose to look at this negative feeling,
or I can choose to look around and think -

How lucky I am I get to experience the sensation of feeling the air come in and out of my nostrils, refreshing me.
How lucky I am to put my cool hands on a warm radiator and enjoy the cosy warmth, enjoy how it feels so good as it warms me soothingly.
How lucky I am to feel the warm aliveness of my skin - the life coursing through me.
How lucky I am to FEEL!
How lucky I am to have a warm shower and get to enjoy this unique sensation of water flowing over my skin; feeling this experience with my whole body! It too is so warming and soothing to me.
It is so nice I get to experience so many experiences in this life!
I get to taste so many tastes and flavours; experience so many textures.
I get to touch so many different things and feel them all, notice the subtle differences between them all
I get to smell a huge array of aromas every day! There is so much to appreciate here!
I get to hear so many kinds of sounds.
Life is so rich! Life is so vast!
Even the everyday "boring" things are actually amazing experiences that Source would love to enjoy their physicality because from Source you can't feel things physically - we are so privileged to be able to feel and experience physicality in all its glory!

IF I DIDN'T LIKE HOW I DID THINGS TODAY, I CAN ALWAYS DO IT DIFFERENTLY TOMORROW

I am so lucky I am so free, I could technically do anything!
I could choose to drop all my ordinary everyday activities and go to explore a new place; a village; a city; a seaside. I could even hop on a plane if I really wanted to.
I could explore a castle or a farm
I could prioritize raising my vibration and just work on doing that all day
I could read Abraham books all day
I could look for positive things to focus upon and spend time milking them
I could look for interesting things to focus upon that feel good
I could start learning a new skill today
I could book myself into a course or find myself a private tutor for something that interests me
I could meet awesome new people today
I could start writing a book
I could start making a film
I could start the process of becoming an expert on any subject
I could make art all day
or invent new recipes all day
or book a hot air balloon flight
or a helicopter flight
or climb a tree
or I could take it easy and just watch movies all day or listen to music and podcasts and read books
I could do anything!
Life is so rich in possibilities and experiences and variety
Life is so full of opportunities
It is just a matter of desire, focus and making the (inspired) decisions.
Tuning into your heart; tuning in and going with the flow of inspiration


As I was doing these exercises I got this hymn in my head, and it felt appropriate

Tomorrow is a highway broad and fair
And we are the many who'll travel there
Tomorrow is a highway broad and fair
And we are the workers who'll build it there;
And we will build it there

Come, let us build a way for all mankind
A way to leave this evil year behind
To travel onward to a better year
Where love is, and there will be no fear
Where love is and no fear

O, comrades, come and travel on with me
We'll go to our new year of liberty
Come, walk upright, along the people's way
From darkness,
unto the people's day
From dark, to sunlit day.

GETTING INTO THE FEELING PLACE OF: PATIENCE:

I was inspired by CoreEssence's post today:

CoreEssence wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 4:18 pmI would like your help with developing patience in my system. I would like to practise patience. I would like to feel patience. I would like to be patient. I would like to feel the spaciousness in patience. I would like to offer it to myself and then everyone around me. I want to feel patience as a felt sensation in my body. I see how patience is also about not wanting to “fix.” I am open and willing and intend to explore and feel and embody patience in a visceral, felt way in my cells.

I would like to try to get into the feeling place of patience.. so let's see:

Patience feels calm and relaxed
It feels open
It feels like non-insistence
It feels like acceptance and embracing of the now
It feels like going with the flow
It feels like being laid back and easy about things
It feels like being present in this moment - being fully here right now
It feels like zero tension in my body; muscles easy and relaxed
It feels like breathing deeply, calmly, slow and easy
It feels like being a good listener
It feels like being outside of my own head -
it feels like being with the person I'm with, with them as the focus, rather than me and my time-lin as my focus.
It feels like being focused on the task at hand without any other thoughts interfering - just a very pure focus without thoughts of judgement coming into it
It feels non-judgemental
It feels like a quiet mind, free of monkey-mind chatter
It feels loving
It feels expansive
It feels giving
It feels like savouring the moment
It feels like giving time for satisfaction
It feels like giving time to enjoy the details
It feels earthy and grounded
It feels stable and steady
It feels like pleasantly slow-moving energy
It feels like enjoying the journey without thinking too much about the destination
It feels like trust that you have enough time - so you can take your time and be easy
It feels like trust that everything that needs to be done will be done
It feels like trust that everything is working out for me, so there's no need to rush it
It feels like trust that my desires are coming to me for sure, so I don't need to hurry them along
It feels good and most of all it feels easy, calm and relaxed

ACKNOWLEDGING MY INNER BEING'S GUIDANCE


I was watching a youtube video today by Yong Kang Chan (called "This Question Is Holding Back Your Spiritual Growth") and in that video there was a part where he talked about practising listening to your Inner Being's guidance. It made me realise that I think it would be nice to acknowledge when I hear my Inner Being's guidance so that I can show myself that I DO hear it - to train myself to recognise it, become more aware of it and appreciate it more - and amplify it by giving it more focus

So today, here are some moments that I think may have been my Inner Being's Guidance:
- The urge to do the feeling place exercise on Patience - it was enjoyable to do and felt expanding
- The urge to watch Yong Kang's video
- The inspiration to do this exercise!
- The little voice in my head that kindly and gently says "nice and focused" when my mind wanders to things that distract me from a task I want to complete efficiently. I think that may be my IB? not sure.
- The little voice in my head that reminds me to relax to allow wellness and wellbeing to flow.
- The urge to notice when my muscles in my body are tight so I can relax them.
- The little voice in my head that lovingly, soothingly, gently replaces a negative thought with "All is well in this moment".
- The little voice in my head that offers soothing counter-thoughts to fearful thoughts.
- The urge to listen to and make transcripts for Abraham videos maybe? Because it feels good when I do it so.. maybe!
- The urge to appreciate and tell people when I appreciate them; the urge to give compliments, to cheer people on and to encourage others.
- The urge I had to help out with the huge mountain of dishes that needed doing - to help create a tidy, harmonious, we-help-each-other-out-with-love vibe amongst my housemates
- The urge to take Bach flowers to help uplift me when I need a little emotional support.
- When I talk to someone and find just the right words that sound the kindest and nicest way of putting something - it flows without me giving it any thought at all so I think that's me channeling my IB's guidance.
- The urge to choose certain movies/ tv shows to watch that feel good to watch
- Occasionally when certain songs pop into my head - most often it feels like just the LOA matching up vibrations according to my vibrational disc or according to a subject that I'm focused on - but sometimes it feels like songs may have a message for me from my IB (like the time I was walking down the street and got the song "She's so lovely" by Scouting for Girls in my head - I think - telling me how my IB feels about me ). I especially think it's guidance from my IB if I ask to receive a song with a message for me - then it's certainly my IB answering.
- The inspiration to make an AI art of an IB lovingly giving guidance

At this early stage, it feels quite difficult to separate what's physical-me / my ego, and what's my IB's guidance. Because my ego wants to be nice and kind and has learned a lot of Abraham wisdom too - and my IB is nice and kind and has all the Abraham wisdom at its fingertips - so it's hard to tell what is driving me when I have an urge to be nice and kind or hear Abraham-ish inner self-talk! But maybe it doesn't matter - all I have to do is try to feel out what feels like it could be my IB and not worry about getting the exact source of that inspiration "right". Just let the focus on feel-good Inner being-y things be amplified by highlighting them and focusing on them

That’s such a good idea
I sometimes clearly feel the thoughts that are not my usual thoughts but which feel good, and I know it’s my inner being.
But often there are just merged thoughts that hard to distinguish . It’s a wonderful practice to sit and ponder which one of them were from my inner being

Yes, it feels like it would give a kind of clarity to be able to distinguish. Like really understanding yourself very well - feeling the different parts of you. I guess it's natural for it to feel quite merged at times too, especially if you're vibrating very closely to your Inner Being at times so that gap between you and your IB is very small
