Awareness is a funny thing. How things creep into our awareness is funnier still. Each of us has our own unique way of receiving our awareness. Some of us through an inner knowing, some of us “feel” it, others “see” it…and still others have a sense of “hearing” their awareness come in. Many of us receive awareness in all of these ways…perhaps with one being the more predominant. It’s FUN to experiment with you awareness…play with it. Bring your awareness to your awareness! HAH! :0)
My body is like a divining rod or an energetic barometer of sorts! Seriously. It can be a bit daunting at times. Over the years I’ve made a relationship with this phenomena. I’ve come to know it…I’ve come to recognize it for what it is. I’ve come to embrace this quality as a gift, one that I am deeply grateful for.
In the early days of my awareness game I wasn’t so clued to the energetic principles I understand now. I thought surely I must be a hypochondriac because I could feel absolutely fine one moment and the next feel as though I was deathly ill. Sometimes I realized that it happened when I was around others who were feeling sick, or angry…imagine any intense feeling or emotional situation…and then imagine how that translates to a physical experience in your body…tightness, cramps, upset stomach…even a pain in the neck (!!) or a pain in the a**! LOL Seriously, the physical translations in my body were pretty unbelievable. Now, thanks to much studying with wonderful teachers, earthly and other-worldly, I can now be aware of these “experiences” without fully “taking them on” or manifesting them physically. For the most part I can “feel” them energetically, have an awareness of them and respond appropriately.
On the physical side of things I’ve also come to understand that if I’m experiencing something unusual or uncomfortable (maybe even something super comfortable :0) in my body that doesn’t seem to directly link or correlate it’s time to bring my awareness to that…thank it for it’s presence, ask it some important questions, listen for the answers and then send it graciously on its way.
Astrologically speaking my friend Kay has pointed out some very interesting things that support what I’ve just described. She says I have 4 earth signs, 5 water signs, 3 fire and -0- air. Apparently with all those signs in earth and water explain what I already know to be true…that I have the kind of body that feels and fields LOTS! (It’s always good to have confirmative support, isn’t it? :0)
So for me my awareness comes through my body…I feel it. That comes through with a strong sense of “knowing” and sometimes I feel I hear things as well. (…interesting, notice how I keyed, “I feel I hear things”, obviously I’m big in the ‘feeling’ category!) Sometimes I’m lucky enough to “see” something. In dreams that happens for me and I awake with a cool vision…but mostly even then I preface the experience with “…and it felt like…”
How about you? Are you aware of how your awareness presents itself? Do you have a sense of it?
