Meditation – Or Was It?

Last week we held our regular Meditation Group and welcomed two new members.  Both had meditated before and had a deep understanding of all things spiritual.  We agreed on the amount of time we wanted to meditate for, set the timer with soft chimes, and began.

It was going well and then the timer went off and we all jumped – it was so loud and brought us back too rapidly.  We were not happy! 

We all agreed that we wanted to go back to our meditation place but decided not to set the timer, just rely on intuition to bring us back. 

We settled again but then someone in the group said no, can’t do it, there’s someone in the building.  Naturally we were all concerned and three of us went to search.  Nobody there.  We settled again but some of the group began hearing footsteps and then a moan was heard. 

Someone needed our help.  I had a moment of uncertainty and apprehension – I was supposed to be leading this group but suddenly I was being asked to do more than just lead a meditation.  Could I do it?  But then I was being told that of course I could, I had done it before and I would know what to do.

So we settled.  I called upon our guides, angels, archangels and ascended masters, asked for their protection and asked for help to deal with whoever needed it.  I immediately felt the Archangels join ranks behind us, completely enfolding us.  I asked the group to build their energies, focus their light and send unconditional love to whoever we were helping.  I felt a male presence who didn’t want to leave so I asked Archangel Michael to cut the ties that held him and immediately everything started to feel lighter.  We knew when he had gone so we closed ourselves down and gave thanks to all who helped.

Needless to say we all talked for ages.  The person we had just helped to move onwards was not a nice person in this lifetime, he had committed a serious crime and was frightened of facing his victim who had been a family member.  As he moved towards the light he was met by his victim and was forgiven - he moved onward in love and light.  

We all agreed that we felt we had just been given a test and one which we passed.  We had remained as a group, stayed in our own light and helped this person to move on. 

The interesting thing was that when we tested the timer again, it was much quieter and gentler than the one that brought us back so rapidly.   

Spiritual Development Group #3

For those of you who are following my development within my own group, here's the last one in a nutshell.

This month we placed a ring of flames around the circle for protection.  Didn’t sense our Gladiator, which was a little disappointing but we all felt the rope being passed to us.  Immediately a child was felt clasping a leg but was asked to sit quietly and wait until we finished. 

No camp fire this time but immediately found ourselves by a lake.  It was dark and very cold, the lake was still and clear with the moon reflecting on it.  Some time passed and a man appeared and started walking towards us.  He stopped before he reached us and pulled a scroll from his sleeve and opened it.  We couldn’t hear his words.  He showed us five stones on the ground, not stepping stones but more like small mountains.

In the distance was a cave with a light shining from the opening and we knew that we had to make our way there.  The path was rocky and it was not going to be an easy journey.  It started to snow and vision was limited.  We moved forward together and when one stumbled we were all there for support.

We made it to the cave.  Inside was warm and bright and a table was laden with food.  Beautiful food, lots of fruit and vegetables and the colours were bright – the food looked like jewels.

Our guide appeared and we have now started to refer to him as Papa.  We all smiled and he smiled back at us.  He said we were indeed sisters and that we would stay together.  He sometimes saw the world through our eyes and he didn’t like what he saw.  He came to each of us in turn and gave us a blessing.  He told us that we would each be facing a challenge; it would be a life/work challenge but we wouldn’t be given anything that we couldn't cope with.  The challenge would test our faith and commitment; we wouldn’t realise we were dealing with our challenge until it was over.  We would also be given another challenge that we would face together.  He then came to each of us in turn and pressed his thumbs into the palms of our hands.

He left us then and our attention was back on the child.  We helped him go towards the light and we all sent our love with him.  He was met by his people and as he left us we felt the atmosphere lighten. 

We were back and it was time to close down and give thanks.

We were all delighted to see Papa but this time he had taken his time in coming to us, he was making us wait and this was testing our patience.  He won’t always be with us but will be close by.  The five stones that were presented to us were our five challenges and the path to the cave was showing us that our journey will not always be easy or smooth.

It seems that every time we sit together, someone appears who needs our help to move onwards.  It is lovely to be able to help others as well as learning.
