Ghosts Among Us - James Van Praagh [36]
It was a profound experience and reminded me once again of my spiritual heritage and my mission in life. I thought of the very first reading I ever did and the effect it had on another human being. I thought about my decision to give up a well-paying job with insurance and benefits and to take a leap of faith into the unknown to become a mouthpiece for the spirit world. I had always felt a loving energy from spirits, and it had changed my life. I knew this energy could change the life of anyone else as well.
On this particular day, I witnessed spirit energy in a completely different form from what I had been used to, but I knew it was still the great love that could heal the world. Since then, I have shared the “green light” in most of my healing meditations, and many people have told me, in person or by e-mail, that it was this green light healing meditation that gave them the awareness and understanding to deal with difficult issues and ultimately brought about profound changes in their lives.
SENSING ENERGY
Here is a very simple, quick, and safe way for you to experience what your own energy feels like. To begin, shake both arms away from your body. This helps you to loosen up and relax. Hold your hands in front of your body about two feet apart with your palms facing each other. Close your eyes and become completely and totally aware of nothing else but the space between the palms of your hands. After several seconds, slowly begin to move the palms of your hands toward one another. Pay attention to what happens in the space between your hands. As you slowly move your palms closer together, you will begin to feel a tingling sensation or magnetic force emanating from your palms. This sensation may remind you of the pull of two magnets when held opposite one another. As you bring your palms even closer together, you will feel a more pronounced tingling sensation. This is the feeling of energy. Become familiar with it so that you will be able to recognize the feeling. Play with this invisible energy as if you were playing with a ball. Push your palms together and away from each other as if you were playing an accordion. By now, you can tell that this energy, this force, is extremely subtle and sensitive. In order to perceive energy, you must become aware of the “lightness” of this force.
Another energy exercise I teach requires two people. Have your partner stand about three feet away from you with his back facing you. Ask your partner to close his eyes, relax, and tune in to his body and notice how it feels. Stand behind your partner and extend your hands with your palms facing your partner’s back. Very slowly, make a pushing motion, moving your hands back and forth toward your partner’s back. Be patient and keep it going. Within several minutes, you will notice that his body is beginning to sway back and forth in concert with the movement of your hands. You are manipulating the energy surrounding your partner (known as a person’s aura) with the energy from your hands.
You don’t need hands to send energy. You can also send energy with your thoughts, through your prayers and intentions. The energy of thought is called telepathy. How often have you thought about someone and five minutes later the person called you? You are using telepathic energy to connect with that person. Very often when people are ill we send prayers and good thoughts their way. By doing this, we are sending them positive energy. Thought energy is the fastest way to contact anyone living or dead.
Another exercise I use in my workshops has to do with picking up on someone else’s energy
