Five people came to the first of my workshops on spiritual awakening and it was a great evening. My words flowed like they have never done before and I could tell by the attention and interest I felt that what I was saying was being recognised by the deepest part of those who were there. The chakra system makes such a lot of sense to me even though I cannot vouch for the physical evidence of the chakras. I only going to specialise on the chakras as taught by Alice Bailey who channeled such information from the Ascended Master Djwal Khul. When I was being trained as a Reiki healer many years ago it was this Master's card I pulled when we were all asked to pull a blind card from the pack of Ascended Masters. It is his photograph I carry in my purse and it is him that I feel close to. If I was a bit less scared I am also sure that I could be a channel through which he could channel but somehow I don't want to go down this route.
I feel such a great relief to have a framework within which I can place the powerful experiences I have had. One thing is for sure and that is that if I hadn't had these powerful experiences I wouldn't be teaching. I don't know how teachers set themselves up without having an experience. I was drained enough after last night and that was with the authenticity and credibility that comes with experience. Teaching the spiritual on the basis of concepts and without any direct experience must be so difficult. And yet having experiences is not the answer either because then those who hear about the experiences want to have them themselves and this is something that I can't yet do. It may be that I will go to India and spent some time with a yogi master and become initiated in a lineage that will allow me to give what is known in the East as Shaktipat initiation. This is an initiation to have the kundalini energy rise from the base of the spine safely and naturally. At one point last night when everyone was meditating on a powerful chakra I had the fleeting thought 'what will I do if this energy rises spontaneously in one or more of the people here'. Then I immediately let it go and trusted in the innate intelligence of the energy or to be more precise the fire that burns away the etheric web that separates the physical from the emotional resulting in harmony in mind and body.
Having finished my first one, I am so excited at the thought of doing my next one which is on 26 November. It is so great to have a permanent space that I can advertise. My partner is very reasonable also just renting it for £6 per hour. Money and spirituality is a funny thing. There seems to be a belief that the spiritual can be had for nothing but that is the farthest thing from the truth. Giving is a fundamental law of the universe if we want to receive. That is why I had no qualms about explaining that the suggested donation for the workshop was £5 but if that was too much then whatever they had would be great, the important thing is to......give something....in order to receive more.....
