Lesson 35: Check In WEEK 5 - Tuning In

Today is the last week’s theme check in of “Tuning in”. Very much focused on the senses that we tend to lead with, find out what it revealed about myself as well as viewing spaces differently and the people in them.

I learned more about what is developing within me. On this spiritual journey, I am opening up my mind, loving and accepting people more, whilst not trying to take on other people’s energy that may leave a cloud hanging over me. I am pleasantly surprised by things I pick up along the way that adds value to my life. I feel like I’ll be learning until the end. The wealth of knowledge that enhances my experience but also me as a person, just continues to grow and expand constantly. I also feel I gain a lot of my own insight and mental clarity through meditation and gain answers that are already within me. Funny how that works - We are wise if we choose to be No matter how we are guided, there are answers we can find if we just look within. We always need to start with ourselves before we can help others. I have never known that to be true, more so than now.

I know that spaces where I don’t feel right are the ones I will try to avoid. I think trusting those initial instincts mean everything. You aren’t a bad person for wanting to leave a room or avoiding it entirely if it doesn’t sit well with you. I know that I need to protect myself more from other people’s negative energy. Whether you choose to believe it or not, negativity spreads like wildfire. It can take one passing comment or feeling, to spread within people in a room. That collective energy is powerful and we should always try to turn it around into a positive environment. I know if it gets too much and I feel it in my body, I will just walk away. I can’t be around people who don’t want to reason and take on a better approach. It’s something I’ve noticed more in the last year or so, and I will continue to stand for my own values on this.

Even now I recognise I’m being dragged down from work and have some negative thoughts in my head. I am aware of them fully and actively trying to seek some goodness to enrich my life outside of work. It’s a bit tough managing but I know only I can turn it around. I know I will figure it out and work won’t bog my mine and exhaust me as it currently does. My work situation is definitely out of my control, but I need to take control on how I can feel positive at work. It’s tough when you spend most of your time there and i's now pushing me harder to work towards my goals.

It’s been a good week, honing in on my senses and being aware. Gained some further insight to this journey which I’m appreciative of.

Lesson 34: Hone One Of Your Senses

Saturday’s lesson has me using one of my senses, taking the lead, having some time focusing on it and noting down what it reveals.

I decided to spend some time with my intuition. I meditated on it and accidentally fell asleep. I sometimes get too relaxed and this happens, but oh well! Anyway, my intuition has revealed a lot of inner knowing that I didn’t really listen to. I’ve opened myself up to a whole part of me that was always inside but I didn’t trust. There is always some times of doubt as always but I have developing abilities that surprises me all the time. I feel like I can really direct the power within me a lot better than I ever used to. It’s funny how you can wake up to yourself. I know I am the only person that can make my life enriched. I know I can be the truest version of myself by really delving into what I find the most enjoyable and follow my dreams in this life.

As I develop into my abilities, I know I will slowly help people. I guess I’m already a magnet for others to gain some insight. I feel like my words hold power and that people are naturally drawn to me for a perspective they haven’t gained yet. I don’t like to dance around subjects nor give advice that you want to hear. I’m always honest and try to advise what’s best from there. I gain all this from intuition and not my own personal feelings on the matter.

In my meditation, I was just really standing on a beach watching the sunset. There was a sentence that flashed up but I couldn’t see the words clearly. I tried to focus on them, but it started out as “I am going to be self-….”. Maybe that last word is yet to be determined or it’s always going to be ever changing as I change as an individual. There are many words that can fill that space now– reliant, sufficient, caring, reflecting, knowing… And this will grow as I release some stuff buried in my subconscious and free my mind. I’m happy that I’m on the path that I am on. Other messages that I received from my meditation are to keep on my path because it’s where I need to be and I’ll be healing others one day. It’s a progressive journey with much to learn. I know I will get there.

Day 32 - A Year to Clear - Sensory Leadership

Lesson 32: Sensory Leadership

Today I am to identify out of my six senses, I lead with when relating them back to items, situations, people etc. Stephanie used an example of she could “smell things a mile away – like people smoking in their cars” or “smell a scam”. I tend to lead with inner knowing and sight.

I tend to observe people a lot and I usually know if they are good people or not. There’s an inner knowing that I have, which actually determines my stance on someone, just by seeing them for the first time. Might sound like a bunch of baloney to some people, but I actually know when people are genuinely good or not. Whatever energy people radiate, I can judge it based off sight and inner knowing. It’s why I choose not to hang out with particular people if there is a group situation where someone I don’t vibe with is there.  I’d happily avoid any situation, because I don’t need whatever toxicity coming from that person to cloud my world, and I’m not sorry about it. My life is how I want to live it, not how others coerce people to do what they want.

I didn’t really need to do a massive meditation to determine this about me. I’ve always had this ability, but more so now that I decided to follow a path of spirituality. I did a mini meditation before, for my other post on my spiritual awakening lesson, and had a hexagon with a palm that had an eye in it come up. I think this has flowed into today’s lesson because it reinforces that I lead off intuition and sight rather than any other senses. I relate to people and situations more so through this function. It’s how I approach and engage in most things that I do these days.

Out of your senses, which one do you usually lead with?
