Where to next m'lover?

Just a heads up, this blog isn't going to be linear.  It's not going to be about just dowsing, in fact I'm not really sure where it is heading.  It is what it is.

I'm sitting here thinking about all the different things that I might want to talk about....there's SO many!  Proper Autistic special interests kinda person I am.  Anyways, what sticks out today is sensitivity.  

I've always been a sensitive person, it's been an utter pain in the butt a lot of the time.  When you pick up every nuance of peoples communication, it can leave you feeling confused, Mostly because people rarely say exactly what's on their mind and highly sensitive people can tell.  That's not what I want to talk about though, although I think what I'm about to talk about will be common amongst the neurodivergent community.

Over the last few years I've become increasingly sensitive to energy.  I'm not talking electricity, although I do seem to hear more electrical items lately too.  I'm talking about earth energies and people's energies and the energies that come from trees, or animals, or places.  It's a bit bizarre to be fair.

I went to a healing centre in the north of Birmingham around 2 years ago.  When I walked in for a meditation circle, I instantly felt like I had come home.  When the healers came round, I felt the energy of one of them.  I could physically feel her energy.  That had never happened before!

A couple of months later, I went to another session there and the same thing happened with one of the other healers.  I was sitting up after my meditation and the healer was still going round the room.  She seemed to be in a kind of trance and seemed to be pulling something invisible out of the others who were still in meditation.  I thought it was a kind of performance of sorts, with no practical application.  

I was watching her as I was finished meditating and then she came over near me and began "pulling" something invisible out of the top of my head.  The thing is, I felt it.  It was so strange.  I had never felt anything like it before, I could feel something happening on the top of my head, it was tingling and it did indeed feel like she was pulling something out.  

I didn't think much about it, but since then, my head tingled whenever I dowsed or  meditated.  I went to a fair at the healing centre and there were crystals on sale.  I picked up a crystal and my head tingled.  Up until this point I thought there was some kind of psychosomatic influence taking place.

The following week I went to a meditation at the Buddhist Centre in Moseley for the first time.  I had never been there before and we were meditating in the garden.  I sat down on the grass and my head started to tingle and I had no idea why.  I moved around and looked behind me and there in the flower borders was a statue of Buddha.....with a crystal in his lap.

OK, so now this thing had my attention!

To cut a long story short, that was when my crown chakra was activated.  I'd had a couple of other activations in the year prior, which I might tell you about another time.  Since then my crown has become more and more active.  It kicks off when I don't expect it and I tend to pay attention then.  It tingles when I cross energy lines, so that my dowsing rods have become a kind of back up.  It tingles when I think about certain things, or talk about certain things.  The top of my head has become a tingling magnet to anything energy related.

I've also found that I can now easily feel energy with my hands.  This is also new. On a dowsing trip, I was shown how to see energy in my minds eye and realised that it has been happening since my 20s but I didn't know that's what it was.  So that's not new, but it now has a name....energy viewing.

And to freak me out completely, I had a really unusual experience with a mum on the school run that I didn't know, or had ever seen before, but I felt a really strong sense of attachment to her and I felt proud of her.  Eventually I plucked up the courage to ask a mutual friend of a friend to pass on my phone number.  The friend asked, "what's it about?" and I said, "erm...this is going to sound really strange, I don't really know, but it's some psychic thing", to which she replied, "her mom passed over 2 weeks ago" and we both stood there gaping and staring at each other.  Again, this has never happened before!

So yeah, I'm becoming very sensitive and it's a bit of a surprise that it's happening now.  I'm getting on a bit and thought I kinda knew who I was, but OHhhhhhhh the universe had a little trick up it's sleeve and I've barely got started.

I feel like my whole world is changing and I don't even know who I am.   It's exciting!
