This week
I reached a big milestone: my clairaudience is finally
starting to kick in! I don't hear voices, which is probably good as
that could land me in the psych ward. I have noticed an increased
sensitivity to the vibrations around me. Yesterday it felt like I could
hear all of the plants, flowers and trees buzzing in Hyde Park. My
mind flooded with thoughts about Mother Nature. It was really lovely. This
wasn't the first time but it was the most intense. A couple months ago one of
my Angel Reading classmates told me I had the ability to see and hear trees,
faeries and other elementals. I have traditionally
been too spaced out to notice my surroundings - human, earthy or supernatural.
Luckily this is easy enough to change.
Two
weeks ago I got the intuitive message to connect to the Earth. This can be done
through the Root, Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras. The Earth Star is also
helpful: we all have an energy center below our feet that connects us to earth
energy and grounds us. I have been doing walking meditations in the park where
I bring my attention to the Earth Star as well as my Root, Sacral and Solar
Plexus. When I really focused on the Root Chakra something funny happened. My
consciousness plugged into my body and my mind stopped daydreaming. It was
absolute presence. The only way I can describe it is to say that I was looking
at the world through my eyes. This is, I expect, how normal people experience
things. I'm usually half there, half floating in thoughts. It felt good but
after a minute or two and then I became a little anxious. What if I couldn't
snap out of it and would I still see and feel energy?
Grounding
is something that I need to work on. I also think that being present will make
me stronger somehow: more connected and less sensitive to energies around me. I
spent the next hour or so walking in the park and trying to get
comfortable with this grounded awareness. I also sat on a bench for a little
while and just felt nature's vibes. Even though the trees are bare, you can
still feel them vibrating with life. There was a bird sitting on a branch
nearby and I remember thinking that it must be so cool to just be. I am
assuming birds do not think (though I could be wrong!) and for them quiet is
just quiet. We humans can be in a lovely place and have the noise pollution of
our thoughts. At least that is the case with me. My mind is always
buzzing.
When
you start to become aware of your thoughts its easier to switch them off. It is
also easier to hear what is going on around you at an energetic level. Today my
mind flooded with intuitive thoughts about nature and the planet. We need to
look after the Earth because it really is a living and a breathing thing. I used
to think pigeons were a pest that had spread globally, leaving white droppings
just about anywhere. Now I am starting to think humanity is the
"pest" with the biggest and most bothersome footprint. We bring noise
pollution, smog, satellites, flashing lights and piles and piles of trash to
the earth. We also burn through natural resources and ecosystems. Unspoilt
nature is beautiful but I don't see much of that around me. I've been
living in big cities for so long now - London and Mexico City - that I
forgot what it is like to be in nature. I miss the beach and the outdoorsy lifestyle I had growing up in Southern California.
The
vibes in the park were beautiful and sad at the same time. Underneath it
all I kept hearing: look after me, I'm
alive, don't take me for granted and don't spoil me. It was mesmerizing. The vibes and the thoughts both vanished when I left the park. I am
curious now to see if I notice anything when I go for a walk this
weekend.
