The other night I was on the Computer, tired and everyone had gone to bed.
Now I often know when Spirit is around, and this night was no different. I knew she was there.
What came next really freaked a bit and have no idea what it could have been.
This Spirit felt like she sat on me.The sensations in my legs and arms were so heightened, it was amazing. The clarity of touch was amazing. I had full control if I chose to move and talk. But chose not to! I was a bit freaked and amazed at what happened.
It has been suggested I experienced Sleep Paralysis. I dont know about that one because I was not asleep or about to sleep, and I was not frozen.Are there any cases anyone knows of that it still could be Sleep Paralysis?? I am still not ruling it out.
I was wondering if any of you would know what it may have been. Is there anything to do with the Sleep side of things that it may have been?? I was tired but fully aware!!
Or was it really what I suspect it to be ( Spirit )

Pretty cool dancingbear. The 'slogan', by your pic, I think, applies to the state you've encountered? I bet you could call this state to you and allow it to 'envelope' you completely by simply accepting it, or willing. Then I imagine you could do healing, or travel, or who knows what.. You could definately use this initially to heal any part of your body, by directing your enery, or engulfing the entire body..but that is only one thing of many.
But you know this is a technique used by many people throughout the world. When the spirit is 'felt/sensed', or called, people will 'grab' a hold of 'this', and be charged or transported to...the moon and back! Aswell as developing other side effects, from these 'Spirits'.
Best wishes.

Woa that's a deep response animal. And I think that also could be what it is.

Thanks! So what you are saying because I accept Spirit exsists and sense it when its around. I called it to me in a way and allowed it..... to allow me to experience this state. Or could i call upon this state of awareness without the presence of Spirit? It was an unbelievable experience, An experience I would have to get use to. I would love to heal others but wouldnt know where to start. Instead I guide them by using the Palm, Runes and now the Tarot. But back onto the subject, Is there anywhere you can recommend to read about this state. I know Shaman's used to go into a state of hypnosis so to speak to communicate with Spirit. Would this be the same? Your input is invaluable while I am trying to workout what is happening in my spiritual journey.  |

Well the 'spirit' is around all the time, it is just that we don't look for it everywhere. When we are not seeing it, it can have a way of reaching out into our sight, but even still is up to us to see and utilize...to learn. A 'shaman' who has learned to view the 'solid' world around us as 'secondary', is open to seeing the signs of the spirit around, and can see 'it' in absolutely anything/everything. It like looking at the bird in the sky and thinking "oh another bird", or looking up and seeing it is an Eagle, and hearing what the Eagle is 'showing', or what the 'spirit' is showing you. I guess it's a way of looking at things as 'energetic events', that are intricately and abstactly connected to an underlying consciousness. It is difficult to view the world as more than the solid world we think we know. Our mind's thoughts have been formed around the world as being 'known' and 'solid', and so gazing and stopping, or looking through, the mind's dialouge is key. The mind is a place of doubt.
The state described by you as 'unbelievable', is a state that 'shamans' usually find 'accidently'(though that is not the right word) in practice. The state is so 'intense' that the fear within will usually stop this from becoming 'fullblown', if there is such a thing, and so usually is found by accident. However practice calling this state overcomes the fear involved in letting go. Funny fear is, it will stop people from being extremely blissful, or happy...joyous to the point of tears. The spirit can easily bring this joy, and the body will love it, and fear it.
So my point i guess, is yes, you can call this 'spirit' 'state' anytime, anywhere you are, instantly. Just as you can see the spirit in everything around you, using objects as energetic events.
A method I find 'easy' is when I see the 'spirit' sitting in a chair, or in any location, and so I sit down and join with it. However I will only see the spirit in the chair if I can see the spirit in the objects around me, pointing me in that direction. It is like following the signs, or omens, left by the spirit, these signs can be 'seen' more and more. hmm It is like thinking of a very important question, and then seeing the answer everywhere around you, created by the spirit, or the 'absract' as I like, because it is so 'unreal'...energetic events.
Mostly I relate to other 'shamans', about these things personally, and published information about these things can be difficult to find. If I hear any questions arise, in any thread, and I think I can add something, I will do so!
Best wishes.

Thankyou so much Animal.
I can totally relate, as i have worked with Animal and Earth Medicine for many years. I am working with Cockatoo at the moment. He/She has come into my life progressively for a few weeks, and for the first time enter by backyard. He is a very innocence jovial Bird, sociable and funny to watch. I beleive he/she is saying i need to apply this into my life. A bit more Fun!!
I watch nature for quite a few things, including self growth.
I allow myself to see spirit of an evening because this is when I have me time. But i know it is with me at all times. I sense it!
I will have to learn how to call upon this state, At first I feared it because i did not know what to expect. But i do know who it was and i trust her not to lead me to somewhere i am not ready for. I guess i will start practicing.
Thanks again Animal!!
Love and Light

Thank you Dancingbear!
I too love the Earth and Animal Medicines. I agree with your view of the Cockatoo. Your sharing inspires sharing!
The Eagle has come to me for three days in a row, but today the greastest!
I was feeling very good and went outside by the fire, I was watching everything around me and feeling the connection to the sun. This state led me to the sky, and I saw two eagles flying in the sky, one closer than the other. I was awed by their beauty. I must have lost sight of them for a moment...even though I was watching, because then one Eagle was flying right at me! It was beautiful, and so smooth in the sky, I was dumbfounded. It seemed to just float over me with its incredible wings streched out so far, gliding. I thought it might land right on me but it passed directly over me. It was so amazing I wept inside with joy.
The evening is great for sure. I find twilight to be quite something. A very mysterious time of day.
Lately, for myself, I have enjoyed walking through the silence and darkness of the night, and feeling the rush of the new morning juuust waking. It is then that I know why all the birds get so very excited. It just makes me want to sing with them so badly I can hardly contain myself..
Warmly met

What an absolutely enviable experience you have had with Eagle.
I just finished a reading for someone ,Eagle flew into her life also via medicine cards though, It is such a wonderful gift.
Eagle flies so high towards Great Spirit and has much to share.
Another enviable thing you are able to do... walk with the awakening of a new day. What a treasure!!
This time of morning i am lining up the bowls pouring cereal into them, making sure uniforms are ready and packing lunches. LOL!! such is my life, I wouldnt swap it for the world though.
I will get my time.
Love and Light
Dancing Bear
It was nice sharing!! Hopefully we to do it again real soon.

AAAWW Thanks for your comment Animal.
I feel honoured and truly blessed.
Yeh you know i find it rare to come accross others over the net that also work with Earth Medicine.
A Kinship is formed instantly when you do find them.
I am looking forward to learning and sharing with you. I have a belief that you can never know it all, Always something new to learn.
I have just formed a bond with another lass from ireland who works with South American Animals. I am really looking for to learning with her also. I would like to be able to intergrate, and find similarities with the North.
Love and Light
Dancing Bear :-P

Apparently someone thinks I tried to sell something, like fees or something. That is crazy to me, I love everyone so much I want to share knowledge with the world. I am different than most I think, and things sure can get so wierd. I often want to run away from it. Well I paused, I hesitated in the moment of awarness. I experience it as I go simply put. There is no other way, I came back here because I have friends here that are dear to me. If anyone ever comes into my path and I have anything I can offer for help I do so. It is my way. In no way did I ever have any intent to collect from people any kind of payment. Really to tell you the truth it astonishes me because I do not place myself higher than anyone or anything, and most often I have placed myslef loweer. I always look for help inm things and I see your help. Thank you..

Really I feel that I never have given this beautiful place enough, and would never want to take from anyone. I weep in this. Thanks.

I dont know sxy what it is but i have been finding a lot of people and i mean a lot. are all experiencing Spirit and most for the first time. My experience with them is changing and it is all weird, I have no messages yet or been shown anything but it all sems to be leading somewhere. Where i have no idea. I have also been given an excercise lately from a medium, whio gave me a spirits name and see where it took me. I have done nothing yet with it as my life is hectic at times and find it hard to find enough quiet time. I will post up when i do. MAybe I will ask this Spirit what is happening? I have no idea if i will get an answer but it is worth a go.
