This is a rich subject about which I can only share my truth. Trust your own information on this topic and take from this only what serves you. It’s been a life-long journey of mine to visit the astral and experience all the magical and otherworldly treasures is has to offer. At a certain point that enticing space began to present the question, “So now you know how to get here, what are you taking back with you?” I did not know.
What are my lessons? And how does this information integrate into my bodyworld? Ultimately that is my highest purpose on this planet—to evolve as a being in this body until the end, when my body is no more.
When I began to cognitively evaluate the astral information I was gleening, I became frustrated, stuck, and needing answers. This overlayed an atmosphere of expectation around my astral journeys and my intuitive information gathering. It is difficult to be open to all that’s before me when I’m in a picture of expectation. In those moments I am only able to see that which I expect. This begged the question, “How much do I miss this way?”
Where I’ve landed at present is that to analyze my higher knowledge information is to try to sift it through a strainer that’s too small—it only allows the smallest of insights to seep through. A technique that has helped me immensely is to say an affirmation or set an intention before and after my astral journeys that goes something like this: “I am collecting valuable information for my highest good. It integrates in my body, mind and soul without effort or analyzation. I evolve towards my highest good with ease and grace.”
I’ve found recently that I do not need to label and cognitively understand a lesson in order to learn and grow from it. Often, I don’t even know I’ve integrated it until I find myself acting differently, or no longer re-acting the same way. . .in other words, being differently. I sometimes even start my journeys with a lesson I’d like to learn in mind. For instance, I may say I’d like to learn about unconditional love. Then I’ll go into my meditation and on to the astral or into my intuitive information. When I’m done I speak my affirmation and simply allow myself to notice how I “am” in life. Sometimes the difference is immediate, and at other times it’s gradual. But as long as I stay open to integration and outside of expectation, I am presented with unlimited lessons, teachers and healings.
Choose and affirmation for yourself that rings true, or use the one I’ve presented. Either way, take comfort in the knowledge that the lessons don’t have to be learned through analysis, pain and punishment, but can be imbued and digested with ease and grace.
