ARE YOU THERE? | CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SPIRIT GUIDES

Are you there?

Yes, we are here.

I’ve been thinking this week about our work together, mostly from the perspective of my channeling, and I’m wondering if there is something that I can do to gain more control over the stream of information that comes in from you.

We understand. Now that you are communicating with us on a more regular basis, you are concerned about being overwhelmed by our transmissions. Is that correct?

That’s it, basically. We are communicating so often now that I sometimes have difficulty in turning you off, if you know that I mean. It’s clear that you would be very happy to communicate with me twenty-four hours a day if I could handle it. But I find that after a few hours, I need to stop and rest and allow my own vibration to reset itself.

What you need to do, then, is set the ground rules for your own channeling, so that when you need quiet time, or even time to read a book or watch a television program without us being a constant presence, you make that time for yourself. We would suggest that you set an intention before we begin our sessions.

I always forget to do that. Let me try something now. How does this sound? “I am in charge of my own channel. I control the amount of information I receive and when I receive it. My intention in this moment is to open my channel as wide as possible and transcribe my conversation with my guides freely and joyfully.”

That is a good place to start. We believe this type of “segment intending,” as our friend Abraham likes to call it, can be of great value to you. It will allow you the opportunity to successfully set a conscious intention about what you would like to experience during a specific period of time. This is not to say that if your experience does not match your intention exactly that you judge yourself a failure. Segment intending takes practice, but what it can do almost immediately is ground your attention in the moment regardless of where you are or what you are doing.

It really is a question of remembering, isn’t it? Remembering to set a clear intention of what I would like to experience before I take action.

Correct. Segment intending will also help you to refine some of the unconscious choices that you are making out of habit so that you can get more out of your experiences. For instance, when you went to the wine store yesterday to buy wine, you did not consciously set an intention. Why is that?

Because I knew in advance what I was going to buy. I have been in that wine store many times and knew in advance the wines I was going to purchase. So, I didn’t feel like I needed to give it a lot of thought.

You do that now with routine activity and that is fine. However, next time, you might try modifying your intention by saying to yourself, “I’m going to the wine store to buy some wine. This time I want to be surprised by an unexpected choice of wine that I had not thought of in advance. That will make my trip to the wine store more fun and not just the same old routine. I may even have an interesting conversation with one of the staff members and learn something new about wine!”

That all makes sense, just the idea of getting out of the habit of re-creating the same experiences over and over again. Without conscious intending, we allow ourselves to get into a rut with most of our daily activity. I think one reason we humans tend to re-create our experiences in this way is because it feels safe. For example, it’s nice to know that I can go to the wine store and the wine I want will be there. I don’t have to think too much about it and everyone there is very nice and the price is always what I expect, so what else do I need to do? However, you are right. What happens is that the experience is perfectly fine as far as it goes, and that is better than the store being closed or them not having the wine I want, but at the same time, the experience is not very interesting or exciting. It’s safe, but routine.

You might want to consider not always trying to protect yourself against what you are afraid might be a bad experience. You are savvy enough at this point to be able to hold true to an intention to get what you want, and there is satisfaction in that, of course. But on the other hand, if you stop for a moment during an experience and monitor your feelings, you might find that you are disengaged from the real experience because you knew in advance what to expect.

Feeling like you are kind of sleepwalking through your life. Alive, but disconnected.

Indeed. And if you are always focused on protecting yourself from bad experiences, from being disappointed, then you are creating more out of fear than out of joy, which increases the possibility that you will not receive what you want regardless of the action you take.

OK. I get that.

So, take a close look at EVERYTHING you are creating and ask yourself, is this what I want to experience? Is this the fullest, most complete experience I can have in this situation? Then give yourself a surprise! A joyful surprise! And why not? You are the creator of your own experience. It can be anything that you want it to be, so why not make each experience something fun and exciting and engaging? There’s no point in allowing yourself to settle for the ordinary, for the routine. Enliven your life! Create more unexpected, joyful experiences for yourself. Always remember: you are here to experience your true self, to manifest who you really are in each and every moment of your life. So, use your segment intending to fill it, one moment at a time, with joy!

I think that’s enough for now.

Until next time then.

Thank you all.
