A lot of people want to feel better, and
experience some sort of “transcendence” or connection to other realms
that might exist, but what many don’t realize is that you absolutely
need to have balance in order for you to be able to maintain all of
those very high frequencies.
Everything in life has a frequency or a
vibration. The “higher” a frequency is, the faster it is vibrating and
the more difficult it can be for us to see with our physical eyes.
When you’re looking to “heighten” your
intuition, you’re looking to attune it to these higher frequencies so
that you can “sense” metaphysical energies.
1. Giving Up Too Easily
Just like you can’t expect to become a
master painter overnight, don’t expect to be able to see orbs and
archangels after your first meditation session. Trust me, you wouldn’t
want to wake up in the middle of the night standing face-to-face with
the ghost of your Great Aunt Millie. In the very early stages, this will
scare the crap out of you.
If you want to sense metaphysical
energies, prepare to embark on a beautiful journey of self-discovery.
Take the time that is necessary to adjust to these frequencies and let
go of the old habits that keep you at a lower frequency. Enjoy the
process. It’s beautiful.
2. Holding On To Old Habits
Take a look around you. See any angels?
If not, it isn’t because they aren’t there, it’s because there’s a
“block” that’s keeping you from seeing them. That “block” acts like a
blindfold. A “block” cannot take away your gift of intuition, only numb
or hide it temporarily.
Some examples of common intuitive
“blocks” are stuck emotions from the past, a toxic relationship, a
chemical laden diet, or a harmful work or home environment.
If you’re looking to “heighten” your
intuition, it’s necessary to take inventory and see what could
potentially be hindering your extrasensory perception and let it go.
3. Taking On Too Much Energy
When you’re empathic, you intuitively
pick up on the energies of others and your environment. You begin to
feel energies all around you in addition to your own thoughts and
emotions. This can get exhausting pretty quickly. When you find yourself
in this position, you need to ground yourself.
For example, kids have intense spiritual
energy. They are these pure, bright lights in the world. And what do
they LOVE doing? Playing! Moving! Running! Hopping! Skipping! Jumping!
They need movement as much as adults need movement.
When you’re pushing your body to play a
sport or to swim, jog, or hike, you’re engaging and changing your
physiology. Your feet hitting the ground, the sweating, the movement is a
perfect recipe to help you release the negativity and “ground” any
energy that can make you feel foggy.
If you are not grounded, you may find
yourself subconsciously trying to ground through other activities like
eating, engaging in conflict, scrolling through your Facebook news feed,
watching TV, or reading. These are not effective ways of grounding.
In order to feel better and more rooted
in the body and in the present moment, move your body. Try it every day
for two weeks and see how you feel.
4. Getting Lost In The Realms
Make no mistake, there is a harmful way
of meditating. There are a great number of spiritual seekers who are
“seeking spirituality” as a means of escaping the everyday.
Your soul, angels, and spirit guides are
already here. The goal is to become aware of them, not get lost in the
metaphysical world (which is a lot easier to do than you might guess).
I’ve seen people treat meditation like a drug, alcohol, or role playing
video game addiction. They live “up there” and use otherworldly language
where they discuss realms, councils, alien beings, and other things
that have little to no practical value in the everyday.
I’m not saying that there is no value in
these experiences, but if you’re engrossed in meditation and you’re
seeking a world to “escape” into, you will undoubtedly find a place. If
you’re looking for information to entertain you, you will find
information that entertains you. If you’re looking for big, scary
energies that are threatening life on this planet, you will find these
energies.
Try seeking beings that want to assist
you in making your life a beautiful reality. Remember that you’re here
for a reason. You are not on another planet or alternate reality. You
are HERE. You don’t know for how long either. So why not make the most
out of this experience? Use your metaphysical perception to add flavour
and colour so that you can enhance and enjoy your reality instead of
leaving it behind you.
