This community is all about self-empowerment, but it can be hard to really step into this. We are so well-conditioned that even when the sole purpose of a group is to be your authentic self- we still have questions as to whether we are "doing it right" - which is pretty funny 😊
Just noticing your questions and doubts is already a big step forwards. But in case you haven't, let's discuss the Friday meditations. I am visual by nature, and I have 25 years of woowoo practice under my belt - so yes, I get pretty excited during the meditations when I see all of us in the Container and all the lights and flashy things and swirling whotsits. I have an alarmingly active imagination which I regularly take with a pinch of salt - and frankly I love the technicolour drama of it all. Those of you who join the meditations live and share your experiences may well be joining the technicolour show with me - I know many of you are!
But others in the group may not be visual, or drama queens, or even particularly kinesthetic. If you are experiencing a mild sensation of calm, no lights or swirly anythings, no visuals of our joint container - does it mean you are doing it wrong? I know as you read this, you can see that of course you are not. There is no right way to do a guided healing or meditation. Even if it is simply a way for you to mindfully and consciously stop your routine to join our intention - that is enough.
Bringing your intention, your time and energy to the group is contribution enough. The question of what you are feeling and then comparing yourself with what others' are feeling is a great point of personal work. This is a learned behaviour - others compared things, and taught you to do the same. School, competition, sibling rivalry - all our lives we have compared. But you can drop that. There is no comparison in your unique authentic self. There is just you, allowed to be you in all your glorious technicolour or in all your peaceful gentle flow. We are all parts of this immense and varied whole.
When we gather and share healing and energy we are all fulfilling unique roles. We hold vibration across the entire spectrum and for some it manifests as visions and insight, for others as peace and calm, for others vibration and tingling - together we hold the whole, but individually it will feel very different to each and every person.
Claim what you hold, and see how you also hold this in your other communities, family circle, relationships and beyond. You are a blessing, you are needed, and thank you for being here!
Completing the Reiki 1 class and experiencing my first set of attunements from Elaine was both magical and profound. I can only anticipate how wonderful the group guided meditation sessions will be. So looking forward to participating in the next session! ❤️
