Developmental times and transitional periods are the most rewarding and often the most frustrating. When you begin to formally set aside time to work on developing your gts more fully there are times when you will make remarkable strides. There will also be times when you may feel completely in the dark. Both are completely normal and part of the process. Trust. Keep moving forward.
Pick a time of day or even a day of the week to be set aside to develop your spiritual contact. you currently have a time of day for meditation you're already ahead of the game. I find the best time of day to be early morning or late evening. Do it a fter you have turned off the TV or closed the book your reading, preferably before you get into bed. Beds should be reserved for sleep.
Even your big meditation work is in the evening, try to do a few minutes in the morning. It helps the day go better. It will set the tone for spontaneous contact all day long.
Whether you're using one of the exercises in this book or you're using just a few minutes of meditation during morning yoga. A little development time will go a long way. your really serious about becoming a strong medium, I suggest a little spirit communication exercise each day as well as joining or starting a weekly development circle.
When I started making time for formal practice, my ability seemed to catapult. I could easily feel and know when I had (spirit) company and would then stop and ask for the message. Just allow it to happen.
My relationship with myself was also greatly changing. It was impossible to talk with spirits and to remain closed to my own spirit. When I opened to one, I of course open to the other. I was instantly aware I was making a decision that was against my highest good. I was calm even when it came to making decisions that were going to be bad for my immediate financial situation but good for my long-term happiness. I was able to trust and do it.
Each little epiphany would lead to another and another and, to yet another unfolding. Until, finally, I had learned all I needed to learn, and then I would go into another transition. Once a whole set of friends fell away and new ones appeared. Another time I left my office space and worked out of my home. Another, I moved ac ross country from Las Vegas, NV to Provincetown, MA.
You may find some transitions will be large and dramatic; others that are just as big spiritually will be seemingly small. You may simply have a new and better dynamic in your relationship with your current spouse or employer. Everything doesn't have to change for everything to change. The biggest and most important transformations we have is the relationship we have with ourself and others.
Every time my connection with spirit expands and deepens, I usually go through a brief period where I feel like someone has put blinders on all my chakras and spun me around and around. Psychically I feel dizzy. Others have described it as lost or bewildered. As they had complete faith and trust and now they just don't know anymore. Often during these times our connection with spirit is very strong. However because we are releasing old fears, thoughts and beliefs, we may experience a feeling of numbness or a connection to nothingness. This numbness can keep us from feeling all the support that is around us . As we make this sht from the old knowingness to the new knowingness that in between space is numb and full of nothingness. Because in between whom we used to be and who we're becoming is just sort of a neutral void.
Like the sht between gears on a car transmission, neutral is a necessary space to transition through, but not worthy of a lot of attention. So when neutral hits, just take a deep breath and remember that this is just part of the process and you're just shting to a higher gear. All the angelic support that you felt, just days ago, is still around you and you will soon be able to feel them again.
Transitions are completely fail-safe. Don't worry. You won't kick into the higher gear until you have fully released the previous one. You can stay in neutral as long as you need. This is a hint. When neutral hits, to get out of it, LET GO! You'll be there until you do.
