Third chakra blockage - help needed

[Stranger]

I obtained some information about healing today, so I thought I'd share it with whoever might benefit from it.

Previously, I had been told that a more powerful way to carry out healing is to contact the individual's Unconscious Awareness; in contrast, Reiki (which was my first taste of the spiritual, and will always have a fond place in my heart) was described as akin to "putting a person in the shower, and hoping they get wet in the right spots". I've found this teaching effective, but today wanted to understand more about what was involved. So, today in meditation I spoke to my Unconscious Awareness and asked about healing.

I asked it what it is, and it said: a part of your energy that is not behind the veil. It's as if your consciousness is separated into two parts: a very small part that is your conscious awareness, and a larger part that makes sure everything is running smoothly behind the scenes - and enjoys that work very much (got the feeling like the joy of tinkering around with a very fun piece of equipment).

I asked if the UA creates blockages, and it said no, the conscious part of the person creates those, and the UA does its best to work around them to keep the body functioning as best as it can.

I asked what the way to work with it (in others) in order to heal would be, and it said: identify the issues, ask the unconscious awareness if it's ready to let go of it, and if so, ask it to heal it. It said that yes, an influx of energy is needed in order to carry out the clearing, but that energy is usually available to the UA - unless being actively blocked by the conscious mind, as in the case where the person does not truly wish to be healed - and so it's usually not necessary to attempt to "infuse" energy into the person. It said that the UA does not have the capacity to make decisions for the person - that is the role of the conscious awareness - and so as much as it may wish to, the UA cannot carry out a healing unless it is asked to do so. (This, I was told, is very important to emphasize). Identifying the issues and asking is the primary role of the facilitator ("healer").

I asked about why I had been told to relate to the UA with respect and deference, and was told that the UA is the entity itself, in all of its timeless majesty and glory - not really a human being, but more God. Therefore respect is necessary and appropriate.

Having written the above, it occurred to me that folks might wonder, "this is great, but how do I contact the unconscious awareness?" So I should say something about that part of the process, which is really the bigger part. Contacting other entities is a natural function of everyone's intuitive capacity, which we humans tend to utterly neglect, and therefore it never develops. Think of it this way - if babies are not exposed to language, they might babble but never learn to use full language. The equivalent of that spontaneous but untrained use of speech in terms of intuition are the gut feelings we all have, sudden feelings that something is right or wrong, etc.

Intuition can be trained far beyond that simply through practice. It is a function of the third eye chakra, so one exercise is "drinking sunlight with your forehead": sit in the sunlight and imagine golden sunlight streaming into the middle of your forehead, like a glowing golden liquid. It will charge you up amazingly. After one particularly intense session, I was simply walking down the street and everyone was smiling at me (warm smiles, not weird ones).

Then the main approach to training something is to use it - just like with a muscle. Normally, any intuitive information we receive is shut down by the conscious mind. "That can't be right", "that doesn't make any sense", "I'm just imagining it", "it's my own thoughts". So we need to break through this censorship -- through practice. Automatic writing is one way to do it, I've found it to be an excellent tool. This is how I receive most of my messages, because I get the verbatim record at the same time. When the guides ask to speak to me, I often say "wait, let me get on my computer". So you can sit down with paper and pen or a PC, ask your higher self to speak to you, and just wait. If nonsense comes through, let it - the main skill to practice is writing down whatever word or concept pops into your mind, whether or not it makes any sense to you at the time.. Do that enough, and a voice will come through all that static. Countless times I would receive an unexpected word and doubt the heck out of it, but at the end of the paragraph it makes perfect sense.

Those are the best messages, incidentally - when I get something that truly surprises me. I know I'm learning something new, which is a gift.

All my communications that I post here result from years of practice. I started out with a pendulum (taught to the students in the first ever Reiki class I took), asking yes/no questions. But I wanted desperately to be able to speak directly to my guides, so I began paying attention to thoughts that would suddenly pop into my mind; by focusing on the very soft and subtle whisper of intuition and taking it seriously, encouraged it.

The other useful skill is recognizing that we have many, many capacities which we do not realize we have. Moreover, we know exactly how to use them, but we've forgotten that we know. So we sometimes might think that we need to do something tricky and complicated to achieve something, but in reality we simply have to intend it, and it happens. This is how you can, for example, contact any consciousness in existence. Just intend to do so. How? In the same way you move your arm. You don't need to do anything complicated or trick your mind into some zen state to move your arm. You just know you can do it, so you intend to do it and it happens.

Finally, even if it all seems confusing and you feel that you can't do it, keep in mind the magic secret to everything: if you really want something, the tools and guidance will be provided. Just keep digging for it in the best way you know how, keep longing for it, keep trying -- and your efforts will be steered in the right direction, little by little. Lots of love to all.
