Let us talk about energies today. The energies we are talking about are very subtle in feeling. You all do feel it, but just like your emotions you have learned to ignore them. You only feel the energy fields when you quiet yourself. Otherwise the only things that you do feel is physical pain or pleasure. Learning how to feel the subtle energies of things around you whether they be animate or inanimate takes some practice. If you go into your meditative state it becomes much easier to feel. You can start with the energies you feel in your body. Sometimes you feel a tingling, or a rush of ‘chills’, or goosebumps or a buzzing in your skin or flesh. Those are the subtle energies of fields emitted by things around you. They may be from people, entities, or crystals or other things.
Crystals are a wonderful place to start feeling energies. They are God’s transmitters, they are God’s gifts from Mother Earth. You can study about these stones quite easily. If you find one that is most appealing to you, start with that one. Learn all about it, and then meditate with it. You may be wondering how to choose. The best thing is to pick one that you are drawn to, it may look pleasing to you, it may feel good in your hand, or it may just feel right. In any case, that is the best stone for you. Or you may have been given one as a gift. All stones find their master or guardian through cosmic energies, it is meant for you to have. If you are well adept at meditation, then you can try to go to your meditative mind and feel the energy in the stone. It is a feeling that is subtle in nature but is noticeable if you pay attention. So you must pay attention to how you feel, what does the stone make you feel at that moment that you hold it in your hand. It doesn’t matter what hand you use, you may try one then the other hand to see if you feel a stronger vibration in one than the other. Some stones are calming, some are energetic, and that is how you start to feel inside when you hold one. Some stones are vibratory in nature where you feel the vibration as a rush or tingling in your body, or some part of your hand. Becoming familiar with the stones is a process of learning like anything else. You start with one and then learn and feel about your stone. There are many good books that can help you learn about them. The vibrations and energy you feel with the crystals is an amplification of the energy fields that are in you and around you. Some times the stones feel hot, sometimes they feel cool. There may even be an emotion attached to the stone. Close your eyes and see what you feel inside.
As you amplify your knowledge of energies within stones and around you without stones, you will become more familiar with the flavors of energy and how it flows through you. And out of you. You will notice when energy comes to you from others. The energy is not just a physical feeling but an emotional feeling as well. They are linked/tied together. There are some energy states that you want to attain, to try and keep that vibration going through you. Energy is also felt in the feelings of your body, what you call pain, or discomfort, or warm and fuzzy, it is all energy. It is good practice to notice these feelings in your physical body and be aware of them so you can learn the subtleties of them. Then other energetic fields that you come in contact with will feel stronger to you and have greater character. Ask yourself, where do I feel this feeling? Where exactly, and how does it feel? Strong, soft, light, hot, or faint or strong? You can ask ‘what is this energy I’m feeling, where is it coming from’? See if you hear an answer in your mind.
Contemplation is a time not only for you to think but it is for you to feel as well. To feel what is right/good and what is wrong/bad. This is important.
How do I speed up my energy receptiveness and understanding in a particular situation what and where the energy is coming from?
You need to forego the impatience of looking and go with the immediacy of feeling, with out thought. Ask and then clear your mind. Take the first impulse of feeling.
How does one know that the messages are right and coming from Source? I don’t want to have my Ego get in the way and/or come up with false messages? How do I know what is *real*?
Silence in heart and mind, are the answers you must practice the silence in your mind and feel the open expanse of your heart and the true messages will be revealed.
But doesn’t that take a long time to get to that space, I assume it’s that meditative state, so what do I do when I want to pick up messages and understand them faster?
Practice your meditations and study the feelings and thoughtlessness state of mind. It comes with repetition of that state.
