astral travel, book your next trip now! (close your eyes, say a prayer and FLY)

 I told you a few posts back that I took Lorie Ladd's ASTRAL TRAVEL course, didn't I? I think I did. I hope I did. I'm astral traveling several times a day now. I think I've done it already 4 times today. I probably should keep a very detailed journal of these experiences, but I can't slip into a strong enough mental focus yet to do it as well as I could. I'm going to detail a few of the experiences here. I like writing them out here because of the few regular readers I have, they would not hear about this if I were to privately journal them. These aren't really experiences that will benefit non-practitioners... they may seem interesting, but I dunno. If nobody says they want to hear more after this post, I will probably shift to privately journaling them.

So going in reverse order from the latest experience I had today, well, let me begin with the guided meditation that Lorie led today. This was not an astral traveling experience.

Lorie led us all, in visualization to a body of water. I had turned on a youtube video of ocean waves to listen to in the background before the meditation began, so that was where I walked to in my mind. She led us to call in our host of angel guardians to surround and carry us. They lifted and carried us into the water and surrounded us while we floated on our backs. They wrapped their wings around us, and supported us from underneath with their wings. Can't imagine a much more powerful image for creating a space of love and safety. She then told us to invite a "secret messenger" to come to us in the scene, and for this messenger to tell us the greatest secret about how to unfold the best future for our lives.

Going into the meditation, my mind was concerned about smaller, more immediate issues in my life. What to do to make money in the immediate future. I was hoping to get guidance about continuing on with the current status quo; pet sitting when I can get an assignment, and doordashing when I can't get an assignment. It's either doing this, or doing an about-face and applying for a real-life job working in a grocery store, or as a security officer. Neither of those options warms my heart and feel like turning my back on this heart-guided career path I'm on now. When I work full time for a regular employer I lose the freedom I have to do my spiritual pursuits as enthusiastically as I am able to now. And I usually end up making myself sick.

So back to what happened in the meditation. I started to receive visions of, if money were not an issue, as in, what would I do if I had the money to fulfill my deepest desires. Pictures of buying a farm, with a house large enough for my son's family and I to live together, arose. If I had the money I would buy a beautiful piece of property and turn it into a self-sufficient farming operation. I was a little surprised by this vision because it is a similar vision that I had when I very first got married to Aine. I had a deep, deep vision in my heart of having a self-sufficient farm with her, in Ireland. In retrospect, I think this is a historical ancestral theme rising up. The Barnetts of Ohio were farmers too. So maybe this is also a projection of family history being urged on. In the early years of my adult life, I had no one putting this idea into my head. It arose on its own. The one influence that could have helped place the idea in my heart and mind were the gardens of Findhorn, Scotland. A spiritual community that interfaced thru meditation with Elemental spirits that gave them guidance on how to grow healthy plants in their gardens. That I have not had any other periods of experience in my lifetime as a farmer or gardener (other than the summer of 1977 when I lived and worked at Crow Canyon Gardens, here in San Ramon) is not a sign that this is not a path that I could adapt to and follow with all my heart. In fact, I see that my role in such an operation could be as the meditator that communes with the Elementals and also works as a manager/supervisor/etc. 

In the meditation, this felt like what the angels and the messenger were telling me that I should do, could do, and will do in my future. That there will be money. That my son would be interested in doing such a project with his family. That I would be a part of this project. It felt like there was nothing else of any other importance or interest for me to imagine doing for the rest of my life. What better gift to everyone involved than being able to live with my grandchildren and help them create a lifestyle for themselves that will help them survive in this insane world. Beyond this vision came feelings of a belief that there will be money to be able to create this vision. Aside from the only other thing I feel interested in doing with the remaining time of my life, namely, writing... this I something I'd fully be able to do living and working on a farm with the grandkids. Wow, that was a lot to share there, without going into greater detail about the essence of how the meditation felt. Meditations over the past week have been feeling so very powerful. This one was not lacking in power at all.

Okay, now back to the astral travel experiences. 

I don't know ahead of time where I'm going to go, who I'm going to go with or go to, until moments after I close my eyes and begin the journey. This is very exciting to experience. Around noontime today I was invited to "run energy" with and by Scarlett. Basically, we both sit down around the same time, in our own homes. This "meditation" can last from 5-15 minutes, whatever each participant feels up to. Mine lasted for about 15 minutes. I started out with the "running energy" experience, but then I let it launch into an astral journey. 

When I closed my eyes I called in one of my "healing masters" whose name is Charles Winchester, who is an elemental "Greenman". Basically, he is a man's soul that has merged into the elemental spirit of a tree. Who he actually was when he lived, at this time I do not know... Anyway, he's a constant companion that assists me with self-healing, and with my efforts to heal others. He popped up today and began to lead me in my journey. As soon as we left my body, it was like a split second before I knew where we were going. We found and joined my deceased cousin Jade Ellen, who died from cancer about 7 or 8 years ago. I had met her once before in spirit form after I learned how to read auras... and at that time I discovered that she had returned to/joined a "bird tribe" of ascended beings. This is the form she was in when I met her in the astral today. She called me to ride on her back while she flew to show me her current world. I was startled and a little sad to see that this world was not a vibrant, bright world. The woods were dark and the only light that seemed to emit from it was from small fires that were burning on the ground. The fires almost felt like battle scenes to me. I tuned into her mind and she conveyed that she felt trapped here. In the beginning, her ideas were positive that she could be happy with this tribe, but they ended up being of a lower vibration spiritually than she yearned for. She also said that part of how she ended up in this place, with this tribe was because of the low vibrations of spiritual awareness that she experienced when she was alive... She asked me if I could help her "ascend" from this place to a higher realm. So at that point, I looked upwards and called to our ancestors that were legitimately ascended to higher vibrational realms. I saw a break in the sky above open and faces peered thru that looked like ancient ancestors of our family line and Jade began to fly towards them... at that point, I felt like I had done all I was needed to do in this journey and I returned to my body.

I had another astral journey very early this morning, around 5am. I set the intention to go to Mount Shasta, into the inner realms where many different ascended tribes dwell. I had been there once before several years ago, so I had a previous experience that made it feel easy to gain entry this time. My reasoning for going here instead of the astral "ship" Lorie had taught me to visit was because I felt like a location on earth would have a vibration more similar to my own... getting used to the vibration in the astral "ship" was a bit strange and I want to take my time exploring there. During this visit, I felt like I had an agenda that would be easier fulfilled on earth. So I entered the mountain and was taken into this chamber where I met a group of "men". There were 12 of them and I immediately knew that they were my paternal ancestors. My father and his father etc were there. They were giving me a healing ceremony where they both assured me and celebrated the work that I've done in this lifetime to heal the death traits that had damaged generations of the men in my family tree. This was a phenomenal experience!  It was not a long ceremony, but it was deep and ancient feeling. After these acknowledgments, I was lifted into another chamber where others that dwelled in the mountain, others that were healers, they took care of me, they were healing me with light and sound energies like anything I had ever felt here in this mere physical body of mine. That entire meditation astral journey only lasted about 10 minutes. Phenomenal that so much can be experienced in mere blinks of the eyes... even though my eyes were shut, haha ;)

Okay, that's all for now!! Thank you for reading!!
