The following are three exercises I would like you all to do for yourselves. As I said in the beginning of the course, I teach psychic development as one aspect of our Spiritual journey. Sometimes by exploring deeper, we are able to release blockages, and uncover hidden talents, motives etc. Each of these exercises will require you to journal the results so get your pen and paper handy, make your way to a quiet place free from outside noise and take at least 15 minutes for each exercise. My hope is that you learn a lot from them about yourself and your journey, where you are heading, and why you feel the way you do.
Exercise #1 Know Thyself
With your pen and paper make your way to a quiet room with a mirror. Sit down in a chair in front of the mirror and look at you. You are going to have a conversation (it doesn't have to be out loud) with you.
Pay attention to what you notice. Do you easily look at yourself and face yourself head on? or do you avoid your own gaze? How do you feel? Shy? Embarassed? Empowered? Good, bad etc... Take note of all these feelings and write them down.
Ask to speak to your higher self , and hold your own gaze. Look into your eyes, the depths of your soul and start to get to know this person. Ask Him/Her to work with you. This connects you to your Spirit, the Truth of who you really are outside of all this material, physical stuff. You aren't here to look at a reflection , you are here to look into your own soul.
Spend 15 solid minutes here and go with the flow of what happens. If you find it hard to look at yourself for 15 minutes ask yourself why? What don't you want to see? What makes you uncomfortable? If you feel good, great, probe into that further... find out what makes this other aspect of yourself tick. Don't be shy, dig in and start exploring the depths of your soul...it's your purpose for living.
After you are done Journal your experience , what happened, how you felt what you talked about...
Repeat this exercise as you are able it is a great growth exercise and will help you learn a lot of things about your immense Spirit that you had forgotten or never knew that you knew ;). Make a commitment to yourself to do this exercise at least 3 to 4 times over the next year and record it in your journal. At the end of a year, go back and review the experiences you had. You will be shocked by what you read ;).
Exercise #2 The Power of Words
The following Exercise requires a journal. For Each of the following words take 15 minutes to do the exercise for each one. Take the list of words below one at a time... Take the Word and put it on top of your piece of paper.. for the next 15 minutes very rapidly write down any and all things you feel , sense etc... about the Word..don't think just spill it lol... After your 15 minutes are up review your page(s). This should give you plenty to think about and to address. When you are ready in a few days, weeks, whatever it takes move onto the next word. I recommend at least 2 days between words.
1. Death
2. Evil
3. Light
4. Darkness
5. Spirit
6. I AM
7. Divinity
8. Grief
9. Truth
10. Love
Exercise #3 True Colors
This exercise is just another neat little way to see your thoughts on things.. If you happen to have one handy take a crayola box of colors.. pull a color out of the box and then write down the first word or emotion that pops into your head...
ex: Red = 'Anger'
If you don't have a box of crayons ;). Make a list of every color you can think of...get a bunch at least 10. Later on come back to it and as you go through your list of colors quickly write down the first word that pops into your head for each one. The key here is to not think just do. If you repeat words etc for different colors that's OK...
When you get done going through all your colors look at the results... see where some of your emotions or words are similar, see where they are opposites..
this one is fun and it will teach you more about yourself than you think ;).
That's cool but what does all of this have to do with learning to connect with my Spirit Guides you ask? More than you might think... Do it and see what happens for you. The more secure you are in your True self the easier it is to make contact with your guides and accept their lessons.
