I enjoy teaching classes in communing with nature, people learn how to feel the energies of trees and nature.  The forest is a great place to learn these skills of perceiving energy because a tree’s energy is powerful and has no defenses.  People are generally blown away how easy it is to talk to trees and feel into the earth.  For many they are beginning their vocabulary in comprehending energy.  The more they ask their body to perceive this the body generally responds by giving them more interpretations of the colossal sensory reality the body lives in.

It is an ongoing process of becoming a clearer channel to what our body can communicate to us.  One of the biggest blocks to receiving our body’s input is our mind’s reality of linear thinking.  The linear world has its place in our life but the other side of human consciousness, the clairvoyant is a part of us as well.

One of the easiest things that we can do is simply ask to perceive what our body is telling us.  Be willing to listen.  If we make a choice to listen within us more our bodies will respond by signaling to us in some way/s.  Whatever we are experiencing in our daily lives our bodies are responding and giving us information.  It is important to feel the sensations of your body.  You may be feeling tension in your stomach, lightness in your heart, a chill in your spine or various other feedback.  Ask your body what is the sensation about.  Often the next thought that occurs will parallel with what your body is telling you.

For me, when I felt information an inner voice came up from my stomach, I knew that my expanded voice of my body was messaging to me.  It has been a process of learning to hear this inner voice that is more infinite than my mind and has knowing that takes in the world beyond my physical presence.   Like any muscle practice and application develop it’s abilities.

In my experience the more that I resolve inner conflicts my abilities to decipher my body’s sensory systems improves.  Suppressed emotions and traumas block our psychic abilities.  What we suppress in our life is energetically recorded in our body.  Our cognitive memory is paired with these repressed emotions in our body.  Doing some kind of energetic body oriented therapy along side the exploration of the stories resolves these issues so that your body is more free to convey information in an intuitive way to our mind.  The body wants to communicate this stuff to us as it heals us and creates more awareness.  You body will reward you if you do the inner work that it may need.

To evolve to a higher state of consciousness the answers are not beyond you but within.  It is truly a body, mind and soul communion to expand our consciousness.  The more we ask to receive awareness our body will deliver.

Our body is a sensory machine, this means that our cells absorb up thousands to millions of bits of information by sensory responses every minute.  Research is beginning to substantiate this concept by studies on the receptive and communicative abilities of the heart.  Our heart is constantly taking in information from its environment.

Our heart is absorbing other people’s energies and thoughts at some level all of the time.   The distance or circumference that our body and heart are doing this has yet to be determined by scientists.  From an observers, non-scientific viewpoint of this concept I speculate it is an individualized talent that ranges from hundreds of yards to thousands of miles.  There are those with intuitive abilities that can feel into the energy or consciousness of another that is thousands of miles away.  These psychics can do this because of the intimate relationship that they have with their bodies that brings clarity to their natural talents.

We all have these abilities to certain degrees in our own unique ways.  A good example of how our sensory systems communicate to us is when we walk into a store and within moments we feel different.  We may feel uncomfortable, angry, tired or feel an illness start to come on.  These sensations are not originally ours we just absorbed them from someone in the store.  We are influenced by other people energetically and for most part are unaware of it.  The worst part is that we may believe that there is something wrong with us resulting in the energy or thought becoming stuck in our body.  This is how many of our illness’ begin.  The remedy is simply asking, “Is this mine?”  If the thought or energy was not ours it simply disappears.

There are some thoughts and energies that we seem to attract more than others.   The aspects in our life that we judged the most and most severely seem to be what we pull in the most.  For example someone who grew up in poverty and hated it, felt less about themselves because of it may continually be resonating with those kind of energies in their body.  It is an energy that they know well so they attract it easily.  Our awareness that of our limitations and what is occurring inside of us energetically in every moment possible is the best proactive strategy to do this differently.  The accomplished intuitive rarely turns off to what is occurring in their body.

We can choose to bring in different energies into our body and life as a conscious choice.  There are two aspects in this transition.  For example if I wished to break the chains of poverty I might wish to: review my life as being poor, see how I judged it, examine what values that I had learned from my parents and most importantly feel it to the degree of a visceral/energetic experience.   As I let the cognitive and energetic memories go I would begin the process of freeing from it.  The more that you can learn the energetic feel of receiving less in your life the more apt you are to can it.   Once again it is a sensory exploration of your body.

I would also wish to bring new energies in that were prosperous.  I would want to feel what it would be like to be rich.  If I could give someone a very wealthy person a massage and energetically feel what there body is like.  When I could identify what they feel like I would ask my body to duplicate that energy.   That is a good example of how we can use our body’s sensory talents to integrate new consciousness in us.

“We are so plentiful within our soul that our cup runneth over with that essence, however we do not function from that place in our everyday life.”  I like this ideal because it is recognition of what is within us is truly infinite.  Have you ever looked into your heart in a sincere way and saw that huge love that is naturally your own?  Did you feel that there is so much love to give and become within you?  I have heard this comment from several that they know their heart sometimes feels immense.

Scientists tell us that if we could tap into the energy of one of our cells it could power a major city for three days.  This gives us an ideal of the power that our body has.  Our heart is the central catalyst that can express our inner spirit to our surroundings.

Have you ever felt your heart open and understand the concept of that your energetic cellular power could be that big?  When our heart swells for another or inspired by a movie or something you hear from another.  We can choose to be in that state all the time.

When you exercise your heart’s ability to express an infinite power  your own cup will runneth over in your own personal abundance.  We have this innate ability.  It is a power that we all have. The power of acknowledging, visualizing and putting our intentions through your heart changes the energetic dynamics of any situation.

One of the key abilities of our heart is that it transfers massive amounts of energy and information.  It does this naturally but we can influence this ever-flowing expression.  We can choose to channel energies through our heart as a form of meditation or prayer.  We are asking to commune with a powerful source within us and send it out using our heart.  If that is not enough we can invite sources beyond us to come into our body and heart.

We can ask our heart and body to connect to a huge power like the earth, Mother Mary or angels and bring their energies into our body and then send it out to the world.  It is as easy as stating, “I invite the consciousness of the earth to be within me.”

A favorite exercise is asking the angels that are with me and other angels that are willing to stand behind me to send energy into my heart and through me.  My part is to perceive the energy running through my heart and visualize it filling the room or area I am in.  It is amazing how the atmosphere changes and I always feel better.

We can be any energy that we choose and our hearts can amplify it whether that be gratitude, angel energy, pure energy etc… We have the power inside: choose and play.

The heart is a very special organ it is able to send and receive massive amounts of information in each moment. It is communicating to other bodies where-ever you go. The heart perceives information that the mind cannot. The heart and body have recorded information in your body through all of your life. This supports the concept, “The body is infinite and the mind is finite”. I can connect to ‘the light’ or infinite space within me by focusing on the heart. Through this development I am learning how that consciousness can expand through-out the body. I know no one that is a master of this concept. However, the more we connect to this infinite power we enable it to be in our daily lives, to expand our body and others in our presence. The heart and body can perceive information all around the world. When thousands to millions of us choose to participate at that level what opening will we create? The heart has a powerful ability to open our awareness to see limitations differently, with an attitude shift we the heart opens us to forgiveness and freedom to how heart awareness works.

After spending a hedonistic night of watching a late night movie, drinking lemon liqueur, and eating chocolates I awoke early that morning feeling sad and out of place with myself. I have been grieving the break-up of my girlfriend and the sadness of the loss was the most difficult in the mornings. I find that the feeling I am experiencing when I awake in the morning gives me a more honest description of how my mind and body are emotionally functioning. After I have completed my routines of breakfast and meditations it is easy to find my positive self.

I asked my myself and my body: “What do I need to do to shift out of this?” I laid in my bed and heard my inner voice say: “Stay away from alcohol for a while, eat more vegetables and forgive.” Immediately the image of my former girlfriend came into view inside of me.

I had done a great deal of processing on the departure. In addition I was experiencing the various stages of death and dying similar to any loss. I had struggled with the anger, denial, grief, depression and intellectually felt that I was ready to move on. Yet it was obviously incomplete if I was awaking in the morning with sadness. Processing and deciding to let it go did not complete the cycle.

Still in my sleepy state I asked my heart to open. I concentrated on an inner light within my heart to appear in me like an ever glowing energy that is a demonstration of the infinite person I am. I visualized its beams coming forth out of my chest and shining onto a mental image of my former girlfriend that I had placed before me.

The shining of my light opened me to loving her in an unattached way. I could send out the love in a non-judging perspective. It was the light of love given without expectations, predictions or outcomes attached with it. In that moment the anger shifted and I felt a release as my hold on her loosened.

My anger had created a driving force upon the memory of my former girlfriend that had stimulated my adrenal glands to help me to stay angry. Through the ongoing and unresolved anger I was slightly depressed. My rationales of how I was treated unfairly perpetuated the cycles of resentments. My fixed point of view that “I was right and she was wrong” gripped me. I was not having fun or growing from this experience.

As I held out my love for her I could feel it shift in me. I could let her be loved without judging her. At last I could see the bigger picture of the relationship by allowing the energy of my own higher love be my guide. I could finally see her with her greatness, some of her flaws, and a better perspective of why she chose separation. The fears that she could not overcome at the time matched into my limitations. We had not moved beyond this. It was a wall that we could not pass through and what remained there was the pain of the frustration. It also became apparent of how I needed to leave as we were not working together to remove this obstacle that our pasts had created. I could see we both were responsible. Within minutes I was making big steps to let go of my former girlfriend, someone I will always love. This kind of acceptance was forgiveness.

This really felt good! It instantly became apparent that I had a list of people to love and forgive. Each one appeared in front of me in my visualized world as if they were waiting in line to take a step in resolving the conflicts long held. Even people that I felt no issue with were falling in the order. I was getting the chance to love, forgive and connect with dozens of people within a matter of minutes.

Only the night before I had heard someone say if you have a conflict with someone that will not go away; pray for them for thirty days. Then see how the relationship changes. In my own way sending my heart energy is a prayer. I am willing to hold that person in the light of a higher love and give to them a willingness to be blesses. It is healing the projection I have of this person. Since the projection is a judgment of my own creation I am acknowledging the willingness to let go of the judgment. Not to carry the burden and/or pain of it no longer.

I always feel better doing this prayer. I am releasing the chains of resentments and separations I have with others as well as letting go the energetic weights that hold that in place within me. I like to believe that somewhere in that other person’s reality they receive more freedom.

The process of opening my heart to another connects to the reality that you created with this person. There is an inner holographic world that is connecting you to everything in the universe. When we have judgments towards another we establish places in our infinite universe that become finite. The judgment is creating a mark in something that is spotless. Since we have been judging for lifetimes when we judge in our present time we are generally compiling onto our past pains and fears that we have judged transforming it into a denser place inside of us.

When we perceive this person using our heart as the connecting energy we open the possibility to see them through the eyes of our higher self. It is a perspective of non-judgment. It allows us to see the person who is within them more accurately instead of the person that our mind/ego/fears have construed. When we are in this state are defenses are let down and we open to a more opened awareness within us.

The process of working on a intimate partner or parent opens you to a very complex journey within yourself. A parent is the one who is the basis of your own creation of yourself and an intimate partner reflects back to you the issues that you have suppress and/or maybe ready to confront.

To begin the meditation relax into yourself and bring your attention to your heart or heart chakra. Ask for its energies to activate. Visualize your heart being nothing but light or an something like an expanded energy. Allow it to enlarge within yourself. When the energy feels strong within you, send it through your chest.

If this is difficult visualize another source (ie. your guardian angels, the earth, the universe) behind you sending energy into your heart. Sometimes we need that extra support to help us get in touch with this infinite energy. I like to ask my angels because they are generally with me anyway. The earth is easy for me because I have a strong connection to the earth. In general, use what is the easiest to connect to.

Send the energy out through your chest to the person that you wish to work with visualized in front of you. The vision is an energy of your heart streaming out of your chest to a imagined person if front of you. There is not a wrong way to do this. As with most things, practice develops your abilities.

In summary the most important aspect of the heart meditation is observation and non-judgment. To view the person before you and sent them your heart energy. It is a matter of concentration and allowing the perceptions of the person and yourself just to come up. Do not try to figure the thoughts out, observe only. I believe that you are connecting to the unconsciousness of your relationships and through the recognition you are giving it a space to heal.

When I feel I have evolved with this person through the heart meditation I can take the perceptions to a deeper place. This may take several meditations, but not necessarily so. First I establish a strong connection to the persona and then I ask the question, “What is it in me that is in resistance to this person, that I am suppressing and/or reflecting out to the world?”

It is time to observe my body where it reacts to the question. Sometimes I feel heavy places inside me or a message comes up from my stomach. If I feel heavy, inflamed or intense places within me (or it could be possibly outside your body) I know that my body is telling me where the memories of these experiences are stuck inside me. The most common place is in our stomach area as we suppressed much or our anger and fears there.

The first step is observing these energies and maintaining your connection to your heart. Observe these limiting energetic memories, feel the qualities that they are. For many readers this is the first time they may have experience such a sensation. The energy of suppressed memories are all different, most in very subtle ways. By taking time to observe them you get more information and are beginning to develop your senses. After experiencing these visceral sensations you will be able to tell the differences. Stories of our past sometimes come up as well, trust what you perceive. You may not understand but it did come up for a reason.

After you have felt the energy of the memories direct the light energy of your heart to these dense places. Within moments to minutes these old energetic memories change, mostly tense or heavy sensations dissolving away.
