On Mystical Experiences
What are mystical experiences?
Mystical experiences
Mystical experiences can happen to anyone at any time. Whether, or not you choose to accept how these experiences happened is completely personal. Some of the most powerfully common experiences include synchronistic moments, insightful dreams, and clairvoyant thoughts.
Synchronistic moments can be a really weird thing. Sometimes the experience can leave you so baffled that you begin to question the true weight of reality. These kinds of experiences are closely tied to the law of attraction and manifestation. Sometimes a person wants something so bad that all they think about is that target. Whether it’s a object, goal, or person. Your thoughts vibrate, just like everything else in the universe. Since vibrations impact the world and its physical operations, your thoughts are impacting your reality at all times. Summoning your deepest vibrational responses. If you think negative, you get more negative. If you think positive, you get more positive, (Bryne, 2017). That’s why there are those times where you thought so much about an event happening...for instance you wanted to spin a DJ gig, and suddenly things begin to shift so that you end up doing just that. You may meet the owner of a club in some random way who then tells you about his location, and how he just fired the last DJ for whatever reason. Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for! So you tell him you are a DJ and BAM! It’s really that easy. Now manifestation takes some time. Just because you think about it now doesn’t mean you will get it tomorrow. Things need to shift, and fall in place before they are of benefit to you. That’s why it’s important to continuously feed those thoughts of your positive desire, no matter what you may be facing at the time. These kinds of moments can really bring you a level of awe that makes you feel safe on all platforms because something is there working with you to get you to the next step.
Dreams are said to be communications from our subconscious. In reality they are so much more than that. Dreams are connected to your intuition, which is generated from your third eye, which is constantly aware of unspoken hidden information. Sometimes you dream with a totem and then find out that that dream was very related to whatever you are facing at that time. The totem meaning can even be guiding you to something. Usually people end up seeing the correlations between their dreams and symbolism. After this they usually begin to question if there are other entities that are serving humanity. Other times you may dream with a loved one who may be giving you advice, before the event that is being addressed happens. These kinds of experiences usually drive in deeper that there is a world after this one. Clearly your loved one still exists if they came to you in a dream and gave you the winning mega-million, or helped you avoid death. Usually the totem and other spiritual links like talking to loved ones happen one after the other. So it’s important to pay attention to all dreams and how they are connected to each other.
Now, has there ever been a moment where you knew information you shouldn’t have known? Maybe there was absolutely no way you could know this information, but somehow you know it and you’re correct. Clairvoyant moments are made up of just that, hidden information now made available through non-conventional means. This information can reach a person through any of the senses. Maybe you hear it, see it as one watches a movie, feel it, live it, or taste it. The most common are visionary and auditory. The information is completely relative to when you tap into your third eye, and how the entire event plays out. You may be talking to someone, and then you know something intimate about them. Other times you may know a new skill before you even read it in a book. The power behind clairvoyant moments is through becoming one with your astral-self. These kinds of experiences can be scary to many as it is uncommon for most. I don’t use unnatural because we are born with an astral-self, we all have a third eye, and we all have the ability to pick up vibrations from our environment so that we can processes higher levels of information. So… 8 out of 10 times it isn’t some negative supernatural thing. It’s you using your body, ("Spirit Science 1 ~ Thoughts", 2017). Same as when you use your arm. For those who do not grow afraid, this can be a moving experience as it can inspire one to pursue the meaning of spirituality. These kinds of events are most common in those who have directed themselves in a spiritually authentic manner, as they are more in tune with themselves.

Evolving Past Deep Seeded Anger
Dive into your subconscious, and resolve critical events in you memory. Stop running away, and reprogram your thoughts for a higher you.
Soul Retrieval Exercise
Anger is one of the strongest emotions next to hate. When we lack control over our anger, it can take us down a path that only hinders our growth. Maybe it was someone who said something, or maybe a life event that you don’t agree with; no matter which way you look at it…anger is impairing your health, soul, and progress. The best methods I have found for this are self-study, and group therapy, (Seaward, 2013).
Sometimes our anger originates from something deep within our subconscious. The somewhere doesn’t matter in this instance, just the something that caused you that emotional response. Anger can be like a shark. Lurking in the shadows for the right moment to strike, and feed. With patients who experience PTSD from childhood experiences, an effective meditation I developed addresses, confronts, and depowers the emotional response that triggers that flashback.
Mental Control Exercise:
1. The next time you have a flashback about a unresolved matter that brings you anger - stop it right in its tracks. Pause it like you would a film.
2. Analyze why this moment brings you this anger. Study the event from every character’s perspective, even the third person narrator.
3. When you feel like you have a clear enough understanding, talk to that version of you trapped within the memory. Reason with that version of yourself and explain to them the true premise of the situation from your now distant future self. Depending on how determined your subconscious is on holding on to this anger, is whether or not you will have to try this exercise multiple times until it is resolved internally.
4. When accomplished, the memory that haunted you suddenly disappears. It stops reoccurring because you resolved it at its time. Many times, anger gets the best of us because we decided not to communicate our true feelings at the time needed. We then become resentful, which fuels our anger. This anger takes valuable time from our personal development by making us dwell on the matter. That same anger can then bring us depression, anxiety, stress, and sometimes insomnia. Other symptoms may come from repressed emotions like physical pains that can’t be pinpointed with modern equipment; due to the astral body is damaged, (Carrasquillo, 2017).
The next best exercise is to lay down in a quiet place where no one will bother you. Take a few deep breathes, and start to recall certain emotions (in this case anger). As you summon this feeling, take notice of where you feel it in your body. Notice what the sensations are. Now think of any physical problems you may be facing due to this emotion. If nothing physical is present, then think about how it impairs your functioning and thinking. By doing this exercise you will experience first-hand how your emotions effect you on a spiritual, mental, and physical level. You can do this exercise with any emotion. The more you try it, the better you will get at understanding yourself, your triggers, and how to stop these negative frequencies from affecting you, (Mills, 2017).
These exercises are great within a group system as you can gather other viewpoints for your understanding. If groups, or a partner are difficult to find or afford, these exercises and many more can help you heal yourself. The power of your own health lies within the harmony of your mind. Master that, and all else will follow. Programs like Shamanic Counseling, Alcoholics Anonymous, Mediation Therapy, and Conflict Counseling have shown to have a deep level of spirituality which impacts individuals to make, and support mind/body/soul progression.

How To Cultivate Your Spiritual Development
Having trouble with your spiritual developement? Maybe you are a psychic in training, a medium, or shaman. Even if you are not, here are my expert tips on growing your spirituality. Connecting you to your higher-self.
Shamanic Practices
Following our true path is sometimes a difficult task. Why? Well, a lot of the time we get caught up in the goal we want to achieve… that we forget about the process it takes to get to said goal.
So what are the steps to finding your true path?
It’s first most important to find the goal you want to attain. If you want to be emotionally in control of yourself (just to save us time on endless other scenarios), you have to address your need for change…and why that change is being requested. “I want to be emotionally in control because I have noticed the strain it brings my family when I fly off the handle. They need this from me so that we can ALL live in a better fashion. If I don’t aim at correcting this problem … happiness will never be reached.“
The Dalai Lama’s mantra on happiness is a great example to follow your thoughts by. To advance as a society, we must put the happiness of our brothers within our own happiness, (Carmichael, 2017). We are all one. Your family is a unit of one, a unified source. Therefore, it is only logical to assume that your happiness is directly tied to that of everyone else in your family. You can’t ignore that they have family outside of your known circle as well. So in theory you create a mandala of positive events to take place, ("Dalai Lama speaks on Inner Peace, Inner Values & Mental States", 2017). This imagery came to me one day while reading the Dalai Lamas teachings: There is a village with very low resources. One person is extremely poorer than the rest, and is in hunger. If you take notice that watching this person suffer, in turn makes you suffer, we are one. If we are one, we treat ourselves the way we best want to treat ourselves. If we are one, You don’t want to suffer. If you give a small portion of your happiness to help another, in turn you are helping yourself. So by giving him food you can easily share, you will see him light up, and maybe his light will spread. Other people may feel moved by your willingness to not ignore yourself, that they in turn- will not ignore your brother who is a part of them.
By analyzing the true source for your need to change you can begin to see past the limits of yourself. Now you can take a look into why you react the way you do to certain situations. This path will lead you to see your story from a new perspective. You can then begin to create action plans within your own subconscious to fight off the responses you no longer find fit. Just by thinking of others first, you can now understand yourself more intimately. By understanding yourself at this level, you can take major shifts to finding your true path. This intimacy evolves, and morphs your environment, (Seaward, 2013).
These are the first few steps that may be the hardest. Just being vulnerable with yourself to understand that this is not your universe where everything revolves around you. Sometimes the truth behind that thought is a hard pill to swallow, but it’s a pill that must be swallowed. It’s through the belief that, “Nothing else matters, but me” - that we lose ourselves to begin with. Before we know it.. we are all alone. Wondering what went wrong. At its most extreme, the individual may never come to grips with the true content of their reality. To think of your universe as one collected pool of vibrations, that reacts to your intentions; you can then begin to accept that by improving yourself, you improve the world, (Carmichael, 2017).
After that, the rest is literally a voyage of yourself. Each chapter is something new to enhance. Perpetually increasing the positive content around you, and giving you more opportunities to manifest your deepest desires.

5 Core Values That Help Define Spirituality
Expand your consciousness by trying these core values.
Spiritual Development and Growth Advice
Five core values I hold that help me define my spirituality are honesty, authenticity, openness, love, and the requirement to evolve. These are things I have learned through life experiences, my mentors, and my own meditations.
The first is to be honest with your reality and every detail in it. That means accepting the things that are hard to accept, being honest with yourself about your faults that may be negative for your growth, be honest with people in your day to day life, and accept that the constant honest law of the universe is change. By lying to myself I do no good to my growth. I may baby myself to a point of no return! Man, is it hard at times to accept the truth…but with time you train your soul to do this with ease and swiftness. By accepting living by a honest viewpoint you can see things about yourself and your reality that no one else is aware of. You feel less stress because you don’t have to keep in mind certain stories. You begin deleting the top layer of noise that blocks your highest vibrations, and in turn everything else around you takes notice. Shifting your reality for a better wellness.
Next that follows is authenticity. When you are honest with yourself you can then begin to be authentic with yourself. To be authentic is to know your true needs, intentions, and from where your impulses originate from. For instance, a person who is authentic with themselves finds it easier to communicate as it leads to less complication later. Authenticity is to be who you are, and not the person society wants you to be. This is a hard core to follow as the world is constantly trying to influence our true nature, but once you come to understand the notion...it becomes second nature to follow your own path. Authenticity is not to be selfish. It is knowing exactly who you are, how you got there, and what you need to move forward. These aspects of the authentic self are immediately tied to love, socializing, and culture. To pursue the authentic self while ignoring life and its factors is to be caught in a perpetual lie. It is through love, friendship, kindness, and unity that the highest levels of self-authenticity are attained. To attain that level of self-understanding one must let go of selfishness, and become selfless. For it is when we relinquish ourselves that we can see ourselves from a new vantage point.
The authentic self knows that to become more refined, one must be open to new experiences. Openness is one of the next most important aspects to living authentically. One must try to constantly expose themselves to new philosophies, knowledge, ideas, cultures, people, and environments. It’s through these moments that we explore new portions of ourselves we never knew existed. By being open you learn how to understand deeper aspects within your reality.
Love is a force that has been described in many cultures as the most powerful emotions of humanity. Honesty allows you to see yourself for who you really are. Authenticity helps you live in a manner so the you can pursue resonating paths. Openness grants you the ability to interpret more information. Love allows you to harmonize with your environment. It’s by expanding your capacity to love that you grow to the highest levels of enlightenment. Love is positivity, and brings your reality to a higher vibration. This in effect works to help you attain you deepest desires. Love allows for new opportunities to grow.
Finally, there is the need to continuously evolve. These first four core values will get you only so far. It is your duty to force yourself to evolve on as many planes as possible. By forcing yourself to evolve you will gain a higher level of consciousness that opens the door to manifestation. Evolve your home, your company, creativity, habits, ways of thinking, anything! Only your soul will know what direction to take.
