quartz crystal bowl meditation experience...
This was the first time that I've ever experienced this type of healing meditation. I've listened to recordings of these bowls on CD for years, but have never felt the effects on my body like I did tonight.
I sat in the front row as close to the bowls as I could be. I sat with as straight a back as I was able to for as long as I could. I did not practice deep breathing, mainly because that's something that I'm just not doing right now.
One thing I think that's missing from this guys technique (haha I'm a critic right off the bat) is that he doesn't make it a guided meditation, telling us which chakras are being affected by the different toned bowls... I'd just like to be able to do my own visualizations of working with corresponding chakras while a certain bowl is working on that chakra. In the end result, I don't think that for now that this is necessary. Maybe in the future, I'll find someone that does do that. I'm just mentioning this because I had no focus during the meditation. Other than quickly grounding and checking my aura at the beginning I was just floating freeform through the hour long session.
One actual vision did appear in my mind. I saw that there was a person missing from "my family"; the family of myself, my brother, and my mother. When my mom got married after our father died, she got pregnant but was unable to bring the baby to full term and had a miscarriage. I've felt for years and years that that spirit that tried to come into our family would have been a younger sister to my brother and I. I also feel that part of the reason that she was not allowed to manifest in the world at this time was that the man that was the father was an alcoholic and was emotionally abusive. Anyway, in the meditative vision I had tonight I saw "her", as a full grown woman and could feel how she would be such a gift to all three of us. But the vision went beyond the idea of missing our sister that was never born. I had uttered a prayer before I went to the center tonight that I wondered if there might be a person here that could become a partner for me. I envisioned in the meditation that a new partner in the place of fulfilling our missing sisters position could be the "good friend" that my brother does not have, she could be the loving daughter ever present to help us take care of our mom, but also that she could be my own soulmate that would understand and support me in all the work that I try to do. Big ticket request, but I believe in miracles and wonder if this envisioning is the beginning of making this come true.
The other significant experience I had in the meditation was in the last 5 minutes. I had tried various positions for my spine. Mainly straight-backed but I ended up in a slouch with my chin on my chest at the end. Doing this made me feel the power that was radiating from my heart chakra. It felt purple and was liquid that felt like it was flowing over the brim of a bowl. It was delightful! Not sure if I've ever felt this before. Sadly, the session came to a close and I only had a taste of this bliss to keep as a memory. I didn't feel like I knew what to say to the group in the sharing session at the end, and just walked out to my car, slowly, my head in a bit of a daze.
I stopped at the Lafayette Cemetery on my way out of town. It was on the dark side of dusk and I just felt pulled there to see if my heightened senses would tune into any paranormal entities there. I never really have much luck doing this, but what the heck, I want to become able to! I took some photos using flash on my phone to catch orbs with - checking my photos after I got home there were zero orbs. I used an EMF detector, which sometimes shows activity but I never had any other backup experiences to prove there was some energy there. And I used an Echovox type app to see if there were any spirits that wanted to speak. Nothing there either. All the same, I felt energized about wanting to start visiting cemeteries at night and getting serious about learning how to do this work. All kinds of ideas running through my mind.
When I got home and did another meditation session is when things really kicked into gear. I barely closed my eyes before I was getting intuitive messages. A guy on Facebook complained about a knee that was hurting. I don't even know the guy but saw that a deceased great-uncle (that was a war veteran) of his was cording into his knee as an effort to get the guy to become humble about his work. Even when I was deep in the training at IW I never had such a clear and distinct vision as this. And never so quickly after just shutting my eyes. Well, I was on a roll and dealt with healing several people - a couple of close friends that have very complex issues, and haha, I didn't want to waste my time giving them too much energy because the answer I got was that they need to start doing some of this work themselves! I focused on healing my mom and I could envision her becoming so healthy, that she would regain her hearing, that this damage in her lungs was tied to a spirit that was attacking her since she was a child. I told this being to GO AWAY and never come back in any other form to do her harm. I felt a lot of power flowing thru me to do this healing. And it felt successful! I saw a vision of my mom having at least another 10 years of life in which she will regain her hearing and that her arthritic knees will heal so that she'll be able to travel and enjoy spending time with her great-granddaughter in Ireland. Big visions but so much power coming through to illuminate the possibility. I'm just going to keep this picture and flow golden light into her being well.
Then I felt myself being led to ask Yes/No questions about this "new person". I asked, "do I already know her?" NO. "Does she live in California?" YES. My questioning went on for as long as there was energy in the results. I even feel like I have an impression of what she looks like; she has long, naturally wavy blonde hair. And that she lives in Castro Valley, and that the way I'll find her is by using OkCupid, haha, oh man, so much resistance to doing that but the clue that I have a visual will help me identify her. I'm not ready to do this search yet, but I will try it.
Well, it's the next day now and I'm trying to pick up steam about what I was talking about last night (it was late and I was writing while sitting on the edge of my bed and my back was going to suffer from that strained posture, so I stopped). Overall, I was very impressed by this experience and now definitely plan on returning. I am even going to try to take my mom to a session. I'll figure a way to help her walk into the facility. Seeing that they had reclining chairs for people to sit/lay comfortably in, she'll really be able to enjoy it, and who knows what kinds of healing she'll experience.
