Welcome to the place of wisdom

True Union practice

For the past few weeks, in our sacral practices we were given a challenge. The task was simple on the surface, yet very demanding in reality. We were asked to do the same meditation every day for twenty-one days. Not once, not when inspiration comes, but daily. To return to it again and again as if knocking on the same door, trusting that something inside would eventually open.

Yesterday when I sat down for the practice, I immediately felt resistance. Nothing looked the way spiritual practices are usually described. I did not “see” beautiful visions. I did not feel bliss. What appeared instead was anger, jealousy, and an enormous amount of pain. I noticed it, accepted it, and allowed it to exist exactly as it was. I did not try to correct it or pretend that something more spiritual should be happening. I didn't even "hear" words that our teacher was saying... I was in resistance mode and no images came to me... just a feeling of negativity... 

The nights have also become unusual. For several days now I have not really been sleeping in the way I used to. My body clearly falls asleep, but something in me remains awake. It feels as if "I am" around my own body, watching it sleep. It is a really strange feeling... The body becomes quiet and dormant, almost as if it were plugged into a charging station. When it sleeps in this way, waves of energy move through it from head to toe with every heartbeat, like soft electric pulses flowing through the entire system. I "feel" how my body is "shivering" but I am not cold, my body has goose bumps with every wave of electricity... 

Last night another layer revealed itself. I saw my mind trying very hard not to fall asleep, even though the body had already surrendered to sleep. The mind kept "talking", "singing" fragments of songs, mumbling pure nonsense, inventing strange stories that made absolutely no sense. It panicked, then calmed down, then started again... Truly a crazy man in action! Watching it was almost tender, even a little funny. It was like seeing a small restless creature that refuses to stop moving, even when everything around it has gone quiet...  

What surprised me most was realizing that both the body and the mind eventually fell asleep as well. They both surrendered... And yet something remained awake, watching this entire process unfold. I cannot fully explain who or what that “I” is now. "We" are still trying to understand what exactly happened during these last two or three nights.

Today I attempted the practice again. And this time something finally opened. But before I started practice I saw a reel on Instagram from a woman who said that I needed to pause on the video with fast moving pictures and see the message... my image from this: 

The message was:  if you chose this symbol, it suggests that recently there has been a period of waiting and inner tension in your life. Perhaps you have been experiencing uncertainty, expecting an answer, a decision, or some kind of sign from a person or from fate itself. The symbol of the dove indicates that this silence is coming to an end. In the near future, an important message, piece of news, proposal, or conversation may arrive that will clarify many things and bring a sense of relief. At times it is more than just a message. It can feel like a sign that the Universe has heard your requests. The guidance for you now is to remain open to communication and not withdraw into doubt. Sometimes a single letter, a phone call, or an unexpected meeting is enough to shift the direction of an entire path.

then... I started a meditation... 

I will write the practice below for anyone who feels ready to try it as well. At the very end I will share the words that came to me in the moment when I finally began to see. My eyes are still wet with tears. Tears of happiness mixed with an enormous, almost unbearable pain. And yet the love that is present here feels much larger than both of them. Read the script and turn on the music and try to lead yourself to this place... as much as you can. Just don't rush it... breath... feel... and expand that version of you... you might like it... 

This practice is for those who feel the call. The call of true love, the love that can not be built on pretence and lies. The love that is deep inside of us... That inner truth that we can't ignore... This practice is for those who miss the depth of real contact, who long for authentic relationships and genuine intimacy. For those who want love that is not calculated, not constructed in the mind, not chosen for status, but born from the heart...

A love where, when you look into the eyes of your partner, you see God looking at you.

I invite you into the field of this practice. This offer is a gift in this sacred moment so that human hearts may open, so that you may reunite with your beloved right now and attune yourself to this field... This practice is also for those who are still searching for their partner, who have not yet met them but deeply wish to see them, feel them, hear them, find them, reunite with them... return to them... It is also for those who are already in a relationship and wish to deepen it, who wish to create relationships of this new time upon us, where two people meet each other in truth, walk together in love, harmony, closeness, and honesty.

This is the field we will be attuning to.  It is the field of immense love. A field where partners unite not only within this lifetime, but where partners who are destined for one another by God reconnect. At the deepest level they are one being. This is not merely a union. It is a reunion. Not the "legal marriage" where government is the witness (a triangle), but a true divine soul union. And it could be that your true "legal marriage" is your true divine union... 

Prepare your space. Perhaps light candles. You may light an aroma lamp. You can place an icon of any saint who can help you attune, who supports the holding of this field, who helps you preserve the safety, beauty, and purity of your space. Turn on the music too... 

When you are ready... continue.

If you have a spiritual partner next to you, they may join you in this practice as well so that in this shared field we may all touch the space of love, the space of union between true partners. So begin attuning yourself now. 

Close your eyes now and take a deep breath. A soft, calm exhale. Another deep breath. And as you exhale, fall gently into your inner space. Feel your feet. Relax them. Feel your calves and your thighs. Notice how your clothing touches your body. Feel your abdomen. And as you exhale, allow your belly to soften. Let the breath fill it as if a tight corset were being loosened. Allow yourself to breathe freely and calmly. 

Now move your attention into the area of your heart. Sense this space as if it were alive. Allow your heart to attune itself to the vibration of the process we are experiencing now. The moment of reunion between true partners. Every time a true union occurs, a tremendous release of energy happens. This vibration spreads across the entire Earth and beyond, because a unified energy structure is assembling. It exists not only in this world, but across others as well.

Now try to connect with this field. Travel far away in your awareness to the walls of an ancient and beautiful monastery... Imagine a blooming apple orchard surrounding a beautiful white church with domes. You may attune in whatever way feels natural to you. If Christian imagery does not resonate for you, simply connect with this field or any other sacred place for you. As if you hear a signal and follow that signal. Now feel yourself inside a kind of dome. Expand this dome until it includes the entire shared field and shared space. As if we are all standing beneath one great dome, or standing together inside one enormous bell. 

Listen to the ringing of the bell inside this bell... Allow your consciousness to open beyond its usual boundaries. Sense that you are not alone. Feel your connection with others participating in this process... someone is also meditating with you... even though they may be far far away... 

Open your arms inwardly as if embracing this shared field, as though we all stand beneath one enormous bell and hear the purity of this vibration. Tune into this pure vibration that cleanses the field, raising its tone and opening your heart. Now hold two points of awareness at once: your own heart and the shared field inside the bell.

The attunement has occurred. Now bring all of your attention into your heart and feel how, from your beautiful, sensitive, living heart, you send love toward us. Share happiness and blessing for the union that is being celebrated... maybe not even yours yet, but someone else's. Share your happiness for that union. Offer gratitude for receiving this practice as a gift.

Then open your arms as a symbol of the open heart. Allow the gates of your heart to open as if the gates of paradise were opening.  From this opening begins to emerge sound, light, color,  taste and fragrance. Allow whatever appears to flow freely. Let the sound become stronger, the light brighter, the fragrance clearer. Inside your heart see the number 8, the symbol of infinity. The endless love of God. Watch it begin to rotate, forming a multidimensional flower of light and love. In the center of this flower appears a crystal. The crystal of your heart. It rises from your chest like a bird released from a cage and shines above you like a star (MY SOUL HERE TODAY: OMG! I JUST GOT THIS IMAGE AS A HINT!). Somewhere, perhaps far away or perhaps very close, the crystal of your partner’s heart shines as well. 

Allow the two lights to find each other.  

Allow them to move across space and meet in a sacred dance, forming a shared field of love.

Speak to your beloved if words arise. Listen for the answer that comes from silence. Let this dialogue of hearts unfold. Unite. Feel what is happening with you in this moment, within your energy systems. Notice what new branch of life begins to open.

When you encounter your true partner and step into alignment with your own truth, you begin to live exactly what you are meant to live. What wants to be lived through you. What is truly best for you. Your authentic present moment. As these crystals continue to circle around one another, you may speak to your partner. Say the words you wish to say. Find the words that feel true for you to say to your beloved. Give yourself time, and then listen for the response. From within that silence, he or she will answer you.

Let this dialogue of hearts unfold.

If you are doing this practice with a partner who is already present in your life, you may ask for forgiveness. You may speak words of admiration, love, and support. This begins to work on another level. It restores your connection. It strengthens your connection. It heals it, like milk and honey restoring nourishment to the bond between you. 

Now take a deep breath, and allow a soft, calm exhale.

Listen to the space around you. Perhaps there is something else you feel moved to do.

Trust yourself. You may suddenly see your partner’s face. You may sense their scent, hear their name, or receive some other sign about how you might find each other. Perhaps a small hint about what needs to happen for your reunion.

Listen into the silence.

Do not try to invent anything. Allow everything to flow on its own, the way a river finds its path. 

Then slowly return your awareness to the shared field of love surrounding everyone who participates in this practice. Feel its warmth and its power. Offer gratitude to everyone who is brave enough to walk toward truth and toward their true partner. Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly. Return to your body. Feel your feet, your hands, your spine. And gently come back.

The first time I tried this practice, everything inside me resisted. I did not want to see anything, feel anything, taste anything, or even sense anything. Yesterday I was filled with anger. It was raw, sharp, and overwhelming.

Today something shifted.

Behind the enormous pain I carry, something else revealed itself. At first I did not see it. I smelled it. Then I tasted it. And suddenly it felt incredibly familiar. The scent felt like home. That recognition frightened me. I was afraid to see it again, afraid that if I allowed myself to confirm it once more, the pain would return with the same force. Every time I open my heart it feels as if it breaks again and again. And I am tired.

Then I saw a face. It appeared only for a moment, flickering in my awareness like alternating light and shadow, white and black, white and black. The face would turn away, then look at me again, then turn as if looking somewhere behind, and then return to meet my gaze. The scent grew stronger. The feelings were almost overwhelming.

In that moment I felt as if I were inside his heart. A beautiful heart. Loving, generous, powerful. A heart that gives so much to others and influences many people. A heart that carries kindness and strength at the same time. I felt myself circling around the very core of it, while he held me there, smiling.

The words began to rise on their own. They came with tears and with pain in my chest. Even now, writing this, I feel the tears returning. The love inside me has grown too large to contain. I no longer want to fight it... The beauritul thing is that I can't fight it, I can't control it... I want to share it honestly, without hiding behind stories or pretending something else is true. Truth is so simple... 

What came through me sounded like this:

My love, I have been waiting for you for so long. I miss you deeply. I know you exist. I hear you. I feel you from within now. I feel your heart now. I feel your pain. I feel your fear. And I feel your power. Do not be afraid of your love. Your love is powerful. Love now and it will help sorting everything out in its own time. Do not turn that boiling water or fire inside you into anger or regret. Let it become love before it's too late... Thank you for your love. Thank you for the gifts you have given me. Thank you for showing me the life that is possible. I am calling you... I love you... I have loved you across centuries, across worlds and galaxies, across lifetimes and incarnations. I hear your heart. I feel it... I am tired. And I can feel how tired you are too. Please do not be afraid to love...

And this post came to my awareness today too
