Lesson 5: Querying the Field

We've covered some intuitive methods for figuring out where to place your hand and join your body in healing itself. Now we're going to talk about how to access information directly from the field. 

It might be helpful to first have a visual image of the living connectedness all around us. Sometimes I think about the Vedic story about Indra's Net, where Indra is the god of gods and her net stretches to infinity, with infinitely reflecting jewels positioned at each crossing point. But that's a visual image that I find to be conceptually helpful, but I access the informational field all around us more with my felt sense. The felt sense is my driver and any visual information I receive comes in more passively.

So, if I have a place I think might be ripe for healing, in my own or someone else's body, I'll then use my felt sense to try to perceive what might be happening. I might first ask, “What is here? What is there to know about this past life injury that can help now?” 

I can ask this at any level in the body. I'm not limited by tissue type or location. I can feel just beneath the skin. I can feel into the muscle layer. I can feel into the bone. I can feel into an organ, into the brain. Each place I go will have a slightly different character or density or beingness. I have to trust my felt sense to feel it, but the information is there. When I move my attention to anywhere in the field, my ability to perceive it is only limited by my ability to trust what I'm receiving. 

If I'm making that sound easy and it doesn't seem so to you, rest assured that I was exactly where you are at first. I did a lot of inner child work, a lot of healing to get to the point where I now just trust. 

So once I find the traumatized location that I'm interested in learning more about, then I just ask and listen. It really is kind of like pulling open a drawer, like one of those old library card files that you'll only have experience with if you're Gen X or older. The information will then just drop into my brain in a big nugget. And then I have to translate it. I have to start talking about it in order to make it come through. 

When I first started doing this, it was more like just a fleeting image. And it was so weird, because I'd go into somebody's knee and ask what was there and I'd an image of a sailboat would be there, very faint. I'd ask and ask, but all I would see was this sailboat. So then I'd eventually gather up the nerve and say to the person, "Do you have some connection to sailboats?" And they would say, "OMG, how did you know?" 

So this is how I work to gain information about past lives. If I'm holding attention + allowance on a spot and I decide to get more specific and ascertain, using twenty questions and my yes/no pendulum trick,  that the person's issue is from a 'past life,' then I have to just directly query the field. If I pull out and develop those shreds of information that I could very easily dismiss, I'll usually be rewarded.

I'll give you another example. If the shred is ‘A brown shoe,’ I won’t dismiss it. I’ll say to myself, ‘Ok, a brown shoe.’ And then, if I keep waiting patiently in allow mode, I might see a hairy leg. That hairy leg, if I let it develop, might then become a whole scene with a man in a cloth tunic and brown cloth shoes walking up to a mass grave and realizing that his mother is in there. So it’s just a matter of blurting out and radically trusting my ability to perceive in the field. And, frankly, having a wilingness to be appear foolish. But if bringing that information into consciousness gets my client's tissues to start processing, I'm good with it. Because I know they will get up off my table feeling better.

One more example. Once, I was in somebody's belly and I kept getting this image of a blue cupcake. A blue cupcake? I did not want that to be the message. Except every time I dropped that idea and went back into that woman’s small intestine and tried again, the first thing I’d get was a blue cupcake. Eventually I started talking about it. I talked about how the cake material was not a white fluffy cake, but a dense and nutritious, oily and moist cake. I talked about how the icing was just pure sugar, not a buttercream, and it was blue because there was too much copper in it. This turned out to be highly informative for the woman about how her diet was impacting her digestion. This was her small intestine's way of communicating with us about what was wrong or what needed attention.

I've come to realize that the field uses a much denser metaphorical language. And when I translate it, I’m rewarded with highly pertinent shades of meaning. 

Now, you will have to develop your own process with intuition, but I’m sharing how I work with it here so you’ll get an idea about how subtle the work can be, how much you have to trust, and also the radically different faculties that we have to develop in order to glean this type of information.

I also want to note that I believe that the field will have to recruit your own metaphoric language to speak with you. I might get an image of a blue-ice cupcake, but you might get a picnic blanket with a basket of seedy bread, butterscotch candies, and a period table with a fork pointing to copper. The information coming through is the same and the receivers are different. 

So you can see how intuition can be really challenging to our western mindset that wants to standardize and commoditize and monetize. Every intuitive has to learn themselves and their methods, what works for them. But at the same time, so much more information and accuracy can come through these channels. So we don’t want to squash this part of ourselves.

In the last lesson of this class I'm going to address the question of belief. Join me.
