Preparing for 2012! - What? I'm not ready!

After the whole reiki experience I was keen to learn more stuff and my younger brother had been speaking to me about his experiences with spirituality and what he has learnt from his friends and exploring on the net but I really didn't know what to think about it or how I felt about what was being presented to me.

I then had this particular workshop 'Preparing for 2012' emailed to me by my Reiki Master and thought yeah that sounds interesting,  let's see what all these conspiracy theories are all about and hopefully someone can answer some questions my brother and I had.  

I was lost for words on this course.  I left with more knowledge, but yet at the same time, I didn't know how to explain what I had learnt.  It all made sense, but it didn't make sense at the same time - what had I walked into?

The workshop details looked pretty okay - not too 'out there' 

Preparing for 2012 with Paul McCarthy

Saturday March 6th 2010

This is a workshop that seeks to peek into the near future at this most incredible time!

We will look at what 2012 is, the astrological and energetic alignments.  This takes us to greater mysteries which we will explore in turn and include:

The Galactic Centre, The Galactic Directors, The Angels of Atlantis and Diamond Consciousness.

We will look at the opportunities 2012 brings to us personally and collectively and how to prepare.

my poor excuse for notes

Okay, all good to go.  Turned up and er...well let's just say there were a lot of new terms, names and phases I was not familiar with. My mind was going on overdrive.  I wanted to ask who? what's that? really?! but nothing came out of my mouth. I just went with it.  My notes really did not make sense at the time.  But I never at all felt like I had to walk out of the workshop or thought 'this is complete rubbish' I was intrigued!

So I was a little lost to say the least. Even when we did the group mediation I found that really hard.  "Try and find the gap" I was advised, but it's really difficult if you have never done meditation before.  I got there in the end sort of well I said I did anyway.  I tried to think of 'blankness' a white space....but no suddenly I had Janet and Michael Jackson pop in my head (as I thought of the scream video) arrrggghhh!

There were certainly lots of reading up of terminology, but this course was the start of greater things to come through...prepare for a roller-coaster ride of spiritual awakening.

Created using www.wordle.net and yes I've noticed some spelling errors (grrrrr!)

Here is a summary of key words I captured from the workshop.  Go crazy and read up too!

In a Past Life (part 1)

Captain Cave Woman, Archangel Michael, Laughing Buddha, Monkey Magic and and a little girl spirit! No not some weird cartoon (although it should be!)

So...I went along to have a past life regression session as I was curious after attending a workshop which explained it all and the demo that was done on a volunteer was totally mind-blowingly-awwwwesome.  I wanted to have a go and find out who I was.

The idea of this type of therapy is similar of that of you going back to an earlier period in your life i.e. your childhood, to sort out the root cause of a problem.  Most people go for regression sessions dealing with fear of flying or spiders or whatever significant event that has developed into a block or a fear.  With past life - well that's just going a step further as there maybe some unresolved things that has carried over into your current life or in my case as with a lot of others...just plain curiosity!

Quite strange to those who don't believe in life after death.  I was trying to understand how I could explain the concept myself, but how I understand it is like this...

We are all souls here on this earth to have human experiences - good, bad and some in-between. No bad or good karma = bad or good life - just experiences to learn from and share with others.  We belong to a soul group where you all agree a role to play in that particular life - which is why you are drawn to some people and not others. They may seem 'familiar' even.  Then when you have 'passed on' as it were, you almost have like a project review session and discuss lessons learnt in that life you have just had and then talk about the next project you might want to work on.  If you jump onto another project too soon or not learnt your lesson from the previous one, you might end up repeating that same behavior on the next project - a bit like work!  The project review bit -  I guess is the life between lives bit. Well that's how it works in my simple head anyway.

You agree your purpose of the regression session beforehand, of which I said I felt like I had lost my mojo for life so to speak and generally feeling a little bit lost but had no reason to be as my life was great but occasionally I would feel guilty for going out for some unknown reason.

So very briefly, my experience was a bit mind blowing (again!) as I had a lot done in one session including a spirit release.  Yes, you read that right a spirit release.  It was actually demonstrated in the demo session (no it wasn't planned) and it turned out that the girl had her dad attached to her as he was not ready to move on.  She had said she had not been feeling herself recently.  It was quite an emotional session where the practitioners helped her dad well, move onto the light.  I sat in disbelief...it was soo emotional.  But the results were instant.  She looked completely different afterwards. 

So yeah, it turned out I had a little girl of about 5-6 years old attached to me. We didn't go into who she was or anything like that as she did not seem to be talking much and it wasn't the point. When asked how long she had been with me, I got a flash back to my old bedroom when I was about 7 years old.  It had been that long.  She was lost and didn't understand what had happened to her and wanted her mum.  As with the dad in the demo session, this little girl was shown to the light and I felt really emotional.  But I knew when she left...I felt her go.  It was weird and wonderful and quite emotional to say the least and I was quite drained.

'Do I want to continue?' asked the practitioner...'Heck yeah!' I replied

I can't remember which order this happened, but the the 'life between lives' bit I saw myself sitting on a cloud and I could see the world below.  I then saw that I was sat at the bottom of some steps which led to a oriental looking palace or temple.  Then a cartoon looking monk appeared...saying 'You can't go up there yet!' What? okay that's weird - you look like Monkey Magic.  Then I saw an image of the Laughing Budda...what was going on??!!  I started laughing.  (Nope no drugs!!  Although pretty awesome natural high!) Then I think I was told that I am supposed to meet someone.  (I must get the MP3 recording of the session as I can't remember most of the details) Archangel Michael with a message of something along the lines of trust and believing in 'us' more. Jeepers!  I had been shown a lot of signs by Angels I chose not to believe.  Who else am I going to meet? Nope - no more for now.  Blimey!

This was all before I even got to my 'past life' which was actually quite dull in comparison! I went back to a time where I wasn't saying much!  I was what I can only describe as a cave woman so dialogue was quite limited in this session!  It was a weird feeling - as I WAS her.  This woman in a cave and full on fire and looking after 2 kids.  It turned out a bear had attacked us all and killed the children and I died later of bad injuries. But I had feelings of guilt that I could not save them I did not deserve to live.  Blimey!... that sort of explained the guilt thing of being able to enjoy life.  So we did a few things to sort that bit out and all was good.

I came round feeling a whole lot lighter for sure...jeepers! That was a lot to take in and digest.  I took me awhile to get back down to earth.  But I definitely did not feel LOST or Guilty anymore! Yay!

So what was the significance of Monkey Magic?  I have no idea!
