Awareness is more than an emotion, it is a vibration, a state of mind, or a state of being.  I’m using this blog entry to help you understand how to expand your awareness to achieve a meditation experience.  Creating a new reality when existing within the five accepted senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling and smelling can be difficult at first.  Allow me to share a story of how I created an expanded state in real-time. 

I was a lifeguard, and this was when I noticed I could alter my awareness and still be present enough to perform my duties.  Yes, when I first opened the pool in the morning my mind would be disciplined into following the protocol of taking money, noting member’s names, and counting bobbing heads.  But when the pool was nearly empty, I had the opportunity to switch my awareness, and eaves drop into other people’s awareness.

Allow me to clarify further…

There was a group of five elderly gentlemen that I called the Roman Bath Club who frequented the pool I worked at.  They wouldn’t really swim, rather they would all congregate in one corner of the pool and lounge with their arms draped around the poolside, chest half out of the water, and lazily converse, while allowing their buoyant bodies to bob in rhythm with the gentle current created by the gutter of the nearby pool’s filtration system. 

Their conversation varied from “who died,” to politics, to complaints of illnesses and inept doctors.  But even in the rare occasion when a few disparities would arrive, the men always stayed calm, and reflective, as they weighed out their options, as if freeing their minds up to the supportive waters.  Their state of awareness was one of calm acceptance as they allowed their bodies to be suspended in the pool, just as they seemingly allowed their opinions to be weighed by the other friends within their group.

This is more than a simple emotion of relaxation.  For each person’s body was experiencing physical stimuli that transformed the group into a shared state of awareness.  One of calm, unity, friendship and acceptance.  I even wonder if this group of elderly gentlemen were, unknowingly, tapping into an unseen source of knowledge generated by some higher beings who supplied them with ideas and solutions to achieve their oneness of common agreement.

When I projected my consciousness, and allowed my ears to eaves drop while perched in my lifeguard chair, I could sense their group state of relaxation.  I could feel my body becoming less dense, as if I, too, were floating in the water.  And the more I allowed myself to absorb their reality, the clearer their words became, as did the associated noises around them.  The bubbler of the filtration system was louder.  The nearby child’s yelling voice a little higher pitched, and the overall sense of well-being, or rather lack of worry over obligations, floated into me as well.

I wanted to retire like these gentlemen!

Perhaps this expanded state of awareness and acceptance was why the Romans socialized in their communal baths?  For the achievement of that expanded state of oneness was the purpose.  A group of men all thinking as one mind, reasoning as one mind, and all reaching a group agreement.  I believe this expanded state of individuals melding into group awareness can be achieved by each of us.

I’m using this real time example of five men functioning as a group of agreeing individuals to illustrate meditation.  Just like I, as the lifeguard, expanded my awareness to eaves drop into these men’s conversation, so too can I expand my awareness outward to listen to people who are not physically in my presence.  I realize this sounds unbelievable, but so is talking on a telephone to another person who is not physically in your presence.  If the frequency is correct, and the listener is relaxed and open to receiving, there are a plethora of unseen voices just waiting to be heard, and likeminded beings waiting to communicate.

But first the listener, the person wanting to meditate, needs to find a process to achieve a state of relaxation.  The womb-like sensation of floating in water has worked for me.  Yes, it might not be conducive to float in a public, or even a private swimming pool when you attempt to meditate, but you can choose to soak in a tub of water or enjoy a long shower.  The water is not only healing, but it will allow the monkey-brain, that thinking and worrying and problem-solving side of your existence to simply float away and be replaced by the secure embrace of the water.

Once this state of relaxation is achieved, accept your solitude, allow your five senses to dull into nothingness, deprive yourself of stimuli, and seek out the stillness of a blank movie screen in a quiet theater.  Then you may lapse into states of awareness beyond that of simple relaxation.  You may fall asleep, stay awake and loose a sense of time, or you may receive a memory, vision, or idea that is out of place with how your current mind perceives reality.

This is but one path used to achieve the meditative state that will help you to control how to expand your awareness.  Yes, there is soooo much more to meditation, becoming aware, and developing your psychic self.  My next entry will delve deeper into how one can direct their expanded state towards a specific goal.

Set the stage, enjoy the journey, and explore with your heart full of promises,

for now… Namaste,

I’m creating this set of blog entries as an ongoing workbook, or instructions that will not only compliment my upcoming book, The Pet Psychic, but hopefully will inspire you, my reader, to evolve. Unlike the rest of my Energy Awareness Publications which share my perspective when developing as a psychic/medium, an animal communicator and an energy healer, The Pet Psychic focuses specifically on how one develops as an Animal Communicator, a vocation that I’ve worked at for almost twenty years. 

Surprisingly to me, I wrote this book over the course of less than two months this past winter.  Perhaps I was hurried into this project when I knew I was about to retire, or perhaps it was the lingering minds of the clients I was reading.  But there was a nagging need to know lurking in my mind.  This was only spurred onward by the clients I’ve been reading over the phone who have been surprised by not only my accuracy, but the fact that I can read a pet in the first place.  Their genuine curiosity left me wondering too, and I’d frequently fall asleep questioning if reading animals could be really that hard to understand for the average person.

To be honest, since the pandemic, I’ve become accustomed to my ability to sit in my office, alone, and project my consciousness out into “the ethers.”  In the small circle of friends which I socialize through, we all consider expanded states of consciousness as being the norm.  But something about this past winter’s clients set my mind to thinking just HOW I was able to merge with the consciousness of animals. 

As oftentimes happens when I set out an intention to receive previously unknown-to-me knowledge, I would wake up and simply know the answers, or at least have clues of what I could recall from my sleep state.  Since it was winter, I’d get up early, go downstairs, and type into my computer for hours.  My first intention was to simply allow the information to explode into my ongoing personal journal, but the information I wrote, or rather channeled, from my spirit guide, Yellow Dog, was rather enlightening, so I’ve decided to make the effort and publish The Pet Psychic.

This new work has merit on its own, and even though Yellow Dog explains HOW an expanded state of awareness works, he doesn’t really provide the steps to achieve success.  It is my hope that these blog entries will supply any “would be reader” of The Pet Psychic with more tools to better understand such a difficult topic. 

I’ll be posting more blog entries as the inspirational writing process happens.  Developing as an Animal Communicator is not a secret for the few to discover, but a process that anyone who is willing to take the time to practice may achieve.

Enjoy the journey my friend… for now… Namaste,
