What's wrong?
 

I did a very extensive reading for someone last night. I think it went well... But then after I went to bed, I tossed and turned ALL NIGHT with sort of vague thoughts and images of the person intruding in my mind!! For the last, I don't know, half hour to hour of sleep, it was completely fitful and restless, and finally I awoke just a few minutes ago - WIDE awake, and with a sort of mild panic attack, and STILL with this person in the forefront of my mind.

I feel like something is wrong, here... like maybe I've done something wrong, maybe there's something my guides are trying to tell me and I just don't know what it is!! What did I do?!

EternalNight, I wouldn't say it's anything to do with your guides for they would not cause you to feel like you have described. Was this reading psychic or spirit? Whichever it was, I would say you have not closed down rather than it being anything else. You have done nothing wrong for we all learn my our mistakes. Surround yourself within a white bubble when you do readings before you open and always close down afterwards.

When you read a person, you connect to their spirit and the spirits around them.

Sounds like you had a hitchhiker lol. I call it that because spirit will come HOME with me if I don't release the energy right after a reading.

Do my "Drawing back your energy" meditation (its short and to the point) You take YOUR energy back and give them theirs. Also remember when speaking with your guides to thank them and use a closing. I use a closing door.

I see them go back to the otherside and close the door waving. When its time to work, I open the door and welcome them in.


Hope that helps

Thank you SO much, you guys! I'm going to do some "closing" type exercises right away, take back my energy, etc.! I'm confident it will help! And now I know what to do next time.

Thanks again!!

Hugs!

Pagan - I had read your walk-through a while ago and LOVE the concept of shutting and locking the door. It's not bulletproof for me so far, but it really helps.

Night - In the same way you have to slowly approach a meditative state, you should also really slowly bring yourself back. I had a huge problem with this at first, as I would get so excited that when I was done I would just stop. But we are talking about different vibration levels and different levels of consciousness. It's like sleep. It's not good for you to be ripped from REM or Delta sleep directly back to consciousness. You go in and out between Alpha and the deeper levels several times a night. When you do a reading, consider yourself in a deeper level of consciousness, and remember to slowly bring yourself back.

Thanks SC. and yes you are right. When we go into Alpha to read, it is like REM but different. You do need that decompression before you just jump up and leave. Try eating. That helps me come back to the heavy physical world. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.png

I eat a biscuit and have a drink to come back.

Thank you for the posting Eternal http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png it answered a lot of things for me. Treating spirit as I would treat myself is a wonderful way of looking at it definately brings a lot more respect to the table. This closing down thing is something that is interesting whenever i am not outside or around people i dont know or trust i try to subconsciouslly call out to spirit and sit in the vibrations as long as I can...I will definately try that closing door and waving thing when I am about to leave. And the comment on the whole waking up from the meditation is dead on!! I feel so drained for the first while after a meditation until i fully come back.

Awsome post guys http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png Practice makes perfect..just remember you already know what you are doing just allow it to make sense to you.. unfortunately we try way too hard to understand the spiirt side of things so much we forget to just let them guide http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png it's easy as breathing dont make it so complicated http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

lots of love http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

I agree http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.png

The other way I ground besides eating is to jam some upbeat loud music. Stuff you can sing to. I like Akon, Evanescense and so forth. Rock it out it will bring you back to home. Just always clear out the energy from a client. I do mine on the back sun porch. I burn white sage after my client leaves, do my door thingy with my guides. Turn on my Itunes and make me a snack http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.png

I love Akon and evanesence..And also very picky about certain music lately i find that meditation music has to be playing all the time or i get headaches...

I hope you are being able to cleanse ok Eternal how are things for you now after all this?
