Auto-Writing & Channeled Messages for Heightened Awareness: JOY

I am no longer sitting the mediumship circles of last year. In January, my new job sent me a’traveling for weeks, another circle-sitter was taking some time off to sort through some personal life needs, and our mentor and circle facilitator was drawn to new projects near and far; basically, our other life events were taking precedence as we sent our energies out into the world. However, after my recent move a couple months ago, I came across some channeled auto-writing messages I had scribbled on scraps of paper while in trance state, from an experiment we conducted in one of the circles last year. I transfer them here, lest I lose them forever. And who knows, perhaps others may find a bit of inspiration in them, should they come across these pages one day.

We were given one to two word themes as a starting point. We then, in trance state, opened our awarenesses to other Beings since passed this world, asking Spirit to expound on each given theme. Most of us had experienced some form of automatic writing before, and were familiar with the suggestions given for enhancing the connections: just allow the information to come through without us censoring it or trying to understand it; keep writing, even if it seems like nonsense or we felt like we were making it up at first; relax and have fun with it — Spirit is often light, joyful and playful in heart! Our hands detached from our subjective minds as they free-flowed into words from Spirit. Some of the writings made more “logical” sense than others, but the feelings derived when re-reading what we wrote were distinct and warming. We were given four concepts in total that evening.

Following is my result of the first: “Joy.” The Being I connected with for this concept appeared to me as a young, carefree boy of about 5 or 6 years, full of wonder and presence. The setting was summertime, in a neighborhood playground/park-like environment. The timeframe was early ’80s — think red and white striped T-shirt and denim shorts, with a mop of straight, bowl-cut blonde hair falling in his eyes as he ran on the grass, eyes opening and shutting into the sun. A definite stream of consciousness, flitting from each visual and experiential possibility into the next.

Yes, this one is very short and to the point. The other three themes soon to follow.

Update, for a point of clarification: Yes, I am a Reiki practitioner, following the traditional Japanese teachings.  However, not all I write about in this little blog of mine, nor the links I may post, relate to Reiki.  Auto-writing, for example, and channeling or mediumship — definintely not Reiki in any shape or form.  There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstandings out there about what exactly is and is not Reiki, and there are Reiki practitioners who have learned and/or include such additional focuses to be inclusive in their Reiki practice.  But they are not.  For more information on Reiki as practiced from the traditional Japanese perspective, please refer to my short explanation of Reiki, to an overview of how I shifted my practice to be based on the Japanese teachings, and to my teachers’ site, The International House of Reiki.  Just want to make this very important distinction.  More to come in future posts expanding on this topic.
