Chakras, Kitties and Poems

Before I go into this eclectic mix of subjects, I’d like to add that Jamie taught us how to check the health of our chakras with our pendulums. She also gave us various techniques to clean them and open them up. When I got home, I checked mine and it was just as I suspected. My root and heart chakras are shut down. This explains why I have times when I wonder why I’m here in this hell hole and why I feel so ungrounded (root chakra). As for my heart chakra, this explains why I feel so lonely and numb. I suppose grief will do that. It’s hard to open up your heart when you’re afraid to have it broken once more. But when you give love and give love but are shut down to receiving love, the flow is really not there. I’m trying to find other ways to open these two chakras up. I’ve downloaded some mp3 audio files to listen to, but if anyone has any other ideas, can you let us all know? And now, for the channeling transcript:

Channeling Transcript

Me: So, cat pusher, is it true that kittens start out by only seeing incarnate beings as energy, like just fields of energy? This is from Skoshi.

(Pause as Jamie listens to Erik.)

Me: Oh, and are cats better at seeing spiritual beings than dogs, elephants, etc.? She must be a cat person like me.

Erik: Cats are better at seeing them.

Me: Um hm.

Erik: It’s the way their eyes are set up.

Me: Okay.

Erik: And so we’re talking about all the feline species. Lions, tigers, cheetahs, domestic cats. Dogs are set up differently the way their eyesight is. They’re more into smell.

Me: Okay.

Erik: Um, so they can actually smell when a spirit is in the room.

Me (teasing Erik): Cool! I bet they can smell you a mile away! You must love messing with them!

Erik (laughing): Hell yeah! And they can see large sweeping movements whereas cats can see more fine line details.

Me: Interesting.

Erik: And, uh, kittens’ eyesight does start out blurry until 6 to 8 weeks. That’s when they start seeing better.

Me: What do they see? Do they see energy, energy waves at first? Do they see all of us as energy instead of matter?

Erik: Well, first of all, everything in existence is just energy, but I understand what you’re saying. They can see solid stuff as well, but they see all the energy and heat patterns that come off of animate and inanimate objects. So they have the best of both worlds, you might say. They can distinguish energy of a wide range of vibrational frequencies. That’s why they can see spirits so well. I know you’ve seen when Bluebell or Ringo just kinda look up into space and then start jumping up and running around.

Me: Yeah, I figured it was you playing with them.

Erik: Exactly!

Me: So you can have all the benefits of loving cats without cleaning out a single litter box.

Erik laughs.

Robert sent me this poem he wrote, and it’s so beautiful I just had to share it. As I read his words, I felt goosebumps on every square inch o f my body. Please enjoy.

blink

i am here

in this place,

my body,

in the space

of a blink.

yet,

with intermittent fervor

i labor,

confined and in wait,

knowing the days

which feel endless

and challenging,

are but a twinkle.

so

i ask myself,

when existing becomes weary,

consider that time

is but a beat.

dwell not in despair,

i say.

for my eyes

will close soon enough,

and all that i call

me

will march into bliss.

dear souls,

hear these words

from the me

in this moment.

i am not unique.

we are but a blink.

fleeting, limited by Purpose,

challenged to unmask Opportunity,

but only while here

in this space.

a moment will come

when each will look back

and see

time in the now

is but a twinkle,

a mere beat.

take comfort

in this wisdom.

enjoy your Life,

it is by design

a most glorious adventure

encapsulated in the tiniest of frames,

a blink.

    SO much to share-I wrote while I was driving on the way home last night-(safety first). Anyway based on everything I learned and how simple some of it is, I am helping a young yoga teacher expand her offerings. I am starting yet another venture called Awakening Clair which will offer yoga class long sessions on chakra – color work. Due to a cosmic wrong number, I finally got a chance to trade some emails with Robert-anyother gem in our box of rocks here

    Hello,

    I always knew cats can clearly see spirits. My 2 Calico cats both watch the spirits which for whatever reason tend to hang out up by the ceiling. Sometimes my cats chase them or will jump up trying to touch them. Callie, he meows at them a lot. And for me, when I feel a spirit and are looking for confrimation, the cats can help confirm that what I am picking up on is real.

    And Robert, such a great poem. Often times it’s hard for us to realize that in the spirit world time is different. That past, present and future are all the same there. For the spirit world, our lifetimes here are but a blink of an eye on the other side of the veil. But at the same time, our loved ones in the spirit world know and understand that we see and feel time as longer here. I just wanted to say great work Robert. I like the poem.

    -Stanley

  • nikki

    Thanks to everyone who resent their info. I am all over this and I promise I have outsmarted the pranksters.

    Re dogs, our family dog absolutely sees/smells spirits. It is so fun to watch him glance around a room and hide under the coffee table.

  • Candis

    Oh Elisa, I know just how you feel. I not only felt that way for most of my early life but it almost killed me more than a few times. I remember when I was 19 and someone told me that the worst possible thing that could happen to a parent had happened to someone we knew. Their child had had an allergy attack and died before they could get him to the hospital. I remember clearly thinking, in my personal numbed out state at the time – ‘what’s so bad about that?’ I sincerely thought that people wanted to be rid of their children just as soon as possible (based on a whole lotta personal experience up to that point.) That children were a burden, and frankly, everything in life was nonsense. I felt totally betrayed and abandoned by everyone and everything in life. And not without reason. I expereienced what I now understand to be clinical depressions, that were like being in the depths of hell. I literally writhed around in unrelenting emotional pain at times that I was terrified would never end. I could go on, but you get the point.
    I tried anything and everything to make it go away, to get a grip, on anything at all.
    Some of it worked for a while, and some of it did not. Sometimes it gave me a leg up another inch or so out of the hole, but often I fell back in. I still struggle to maintain a balance – I am convinced that certain negative default pathways have been carved into my brain and I continually must guard aganist falling into them.
    What really got (gets) me out?
    Faith. I am not a religious person, but I know, I KNOW. There is a connection to the unseen and I KNOW. Even with that, it is funny how often I have to work on remembering that! This has given me another really good opportunity to do so. And everytime I do it it gets stronger. So, Thank You!
    I think it is one of the things that we are here to learn how to do. In this really weird way, it’s not about trusting anything or anybody but what you KNOW to be true. It can be a very creative state. Sometimes you can float in it.
    I think that it was Albert Einstein that said ‘either you think nothing is a miracle, or you think everything is a miracle.’
    Elisa, we are just swimming in it. Every freaking second of this is a miracle up oneside and down the other. Regardless of what happens, just KNOW. You won’t belive how holding on to just that greases the wheels, no matter where your stuck.
    Also, stop giving so much, just relax and let them float whatever it is they have to you. – I can get a lift from my cat, but you have to let them give what it is they have to give, you have to revel in it, good or bad – then it is not about giving or recieving, it’s about communion. And from what you described happened to you last weekend, I think that you may have the framework for that down. Just don’t let it be all about the grief if you can. Next time your cat approches you, just really really go with it, for starters. Pets are great teachers and/or reminders of this stuff. It’s like their job. But even your cat is gonna break your heart someday. (Don’t blink, right?)
    If you can just get out of your own way it stops feeling like work and becomes more like what I think we are supposed to be all about. (Like there is time for that in this world!) But I don’t claim to be an expert at it. I do know that it works for me whenever I can get to it.
    That said, I’ve found that yoga can be amazing if you really let go. It gives you a space to just KNOW yourself.
    (Hope that wasn’t too preachy.)
    As an aside, I read recently that the reason grief is so powerful is that the greiving person has to go back and integrate every single memory that they have, and reconfigure their entire preconception of the present and future, into that loss.

      God, Candis, everything you say makes so much sense. That knowingness, you’re right, I have to keep reminding myself who I am, how connected we all are to everything and what a beautiful and limitless universe this is. And you’re right about me only giving. I HAVE to learn to accept love too. I just have a hard time with that. But the heart chakra shrivels when the flow of love is only one way. I hope you come to the next one, Candis. Where do you live? We might have one in Austin and Jamie might be coming to LA to do one during the first few days in August.

  • amy cavanaugh

    Austin would be awesome-we are on to something we need to have as many as we can reasonably-quarterly-Someone just shared this-it is right where I am post Jamie…..

    Pay attention to the subtle nuances in your daily lives..

    You are already awake, now we ask you to be aware. Be more aware. Look at what falls at your feet. Pay attention to someone/thing that plants it/themselves in front of you. Or the book that happens to fall off a shelf in front of you. How about the fact that one certain healing modality is mentioned to you 3 or 4 times in a very brief period of time. Act on that modality. Look it up. If you already know it, and chances are good that you do, practice it. Really practice it. Show others. Teach them. It is now and this is your future. Bring your love to the table and share what you have. Know you are the answer.

    You are it and it is now..

  • stephanie

    If you guys do one in LA or Austin, please let us know – LA is just right next door and Austin, well, me likes Austin, so I’d be down for sure! :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Consider yourself in the loop, Steph.

  • Susan

    Aww beautiful poem from Robert :-)

    My 1 year old Main Coon Polly is always looking at spirits especially in the evenings. Sometimes it looks like she is looking at something small when she is sitting on the lounge carpet and her eyes follow something on the carpet. Maybe it’s fairies ;-)

    I work with a Pendulum sometimes and I find they are very accurate.

    Love Susanxox

  • Chase fml

    ELISA LA would be grate when will u know weedie just emailed me for a apt in august she said Jamie would be in LA the end of July

  • Carol (Chris’ Mom)

    Interesting on your chakras…my root chakra isn’t functioning fully either, I wonder if it’s a grief thing? I remember a reading I had about a year ago and the person told me that my (our!) grief was so intense that it like separated me from my body. I think that summarizes kind of what the root chakra shutting down is all about. I found a website that kinda gives the chakra info in a nutshell…

    chakraenergy.com

    My heart is wide open (duh), however my solar plexis is closed off. It would be interesting to see how many of us grieving parents have closed chakras and if so, which ones. Those are my only 2, however I’ve been working on them a lot for the past 3 months or so.

    Robert…the poem; You are an amazing soul and we are all blessed to have you in our lives. I appreciate you being one of my (living) guardian angels…thank you for your kind and sensitive spirit. Thank you for blessing us with your words of wisdom.

    Carol

      Ooo, thanks for the link Carol! I’ll check it out!

  • Rocci Mott

    Elisa, Kundalini yoga can help open the chakras or more than that, energize the 72,000 nadis that flow and meet at the navel point. I have been told by my Guru we have 114 chakras and 8 main ones. Yoga is an ancient technology and it has done wonders for my body, mind, soul, and life. Check out the Oneness University online. Giving Deeksha is another way of working with the heart center, allowing yourself to receive from others–the divine. Sri Amma Bhagwan/Oneness University teach the Deeksha and many folks around the world are waking up, sharing this phenomena. Love as if you’ve never been hurt. Real love from your true self does not know hurt. All suffering is a story and mind creates the suffering. Thought stops us from being in the moment. Joy and love are unconditional and is not about gaining or losing. Not receiving love for fear of being hurt is a mind trick. Games and tricks for the mind keep us in survival. What is thought? It is memory, yesterday–just like the Beatles song “yesterday all my sorrows seem so far away, but today, they are here to stay”. Mind games, huh? Die to the past, real death, come alive , involved, really living and experience reality as it is. Are you saving yourself? Live your life, love let love come to you and transmute your fear of being hurt into trusting the Divine. That which has given you breath loves you and is always with you.
    The beauty in each of us in our spirit. The little me is the one that has fear. Thank you so much for all you share. I love the blogs and all the videos. You and Erik remind me there is no death.
    Namaste!
    Rocci

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Rocci this totally makes sense! My heart chakra shuts down because I don’t receive love well, so I’m in survival mode, so my root chakra is crappy. I get it. I’ll check out the link when I get back from Norway. Wow, you know so much! I’m so, so lucky to have you in my life! What city are you in? Do you teach, heal? Oh, and what can you say about Carol’s great question? When we grieve, which chakras are vulnerable?

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Austin is awesome….and pretty much in the middle of the country!

  • Steve

    I love that poem!

  • nikki

    So, I was interested in the whole chakra thing and found this site yesterday. Soooo jealous that I missed so much in Atlanta.
    http://askyourpendulum.com/chakras.asp

    very cool. I will say, I have no idea if it is accurate lol. I printed the chart and used a necklace I wear all the time as the pendulum. It definitely swung more over some of the chakra’s. I could see the energy in my hand when I was doing it, wild!

    A lot of CE members are sending their info for the off the grid sheet. I think Erik was disappointed in the original turn out so made us start over. I already have twice as many names :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      What an amazing site, Nikki!!! What do you do with the stones? Do you place them over your chakras or keep them in a pocket or what?

  • Candis

    I’m on the East Coast. I will get around to one of these events, but I am not sure when. I want to thank you for your appreciation of my comments. It helps me to delve in more and expand my own consciousness when I get positive feedback. Because you know – I write that stuff down and then I think that a lot of people will think that I sound like I am just crazy.
    This latest communication kept me up much of the night, in a good way. I ran across something that just totally brought it all together for me. It was presented at a consciousness conference in Kyoto in 1988. The guy speaks from a Christian perspective, but my feeling was that it could be translated to just about any sincere belief system. It is just wicked spot on for where I think that a lot of people on this blog are right now – “between two worlds.” We are the pioneers in this regard and the terrian is still very rough. (Grief seems to be one of the major doorways into this new world – especially prolonged grief.)
    The article is contained in a book entitled “Human Survivial and Consciousness Evolution” It is written by John White. I can’t find it on the web, but I am telling you it is just the bullseye. I have to go, but I will continue looking for the piece later tonight and as soon as I find it, I will get it to you.

  • nikki

    Elisa I didnt use any of the stones. I am so clueless about all that. Here is more info on what you can do with stones http://askyourpendulum.com/proddetail.asp?prod=StoneRainbow
    I thought I read somewhere that stones are very powerful and not to mess with them too much. LOL I probably made that up.

    I did print out the chakra chart (scroll down on that original link) and just held the necklace over the designated spot. I asked which chakras are open and Voila! It started moving. I even then asked which are blocked and both questions gave the same answers.

    Hi Elisa,

    After using my pendulum I was also told that I need to be more grounded and that my heart chakra needs some fixin.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      That’s what I got too!!!

  • http://www.channelingmyself.com Todd

    I read that to correct the ungrounded issue to imagine yourself as a tree. So I picture myself standing outside up in the mountains and I imagine my feet and legs protruding down into the earth. It is quite the sensation and makes me feel like I’m one with the earth.

    As for the heart chakra I listen to isochronic tones. I know of a site where you can download some for free, it has a heart tone as well. If you are interested let me know.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Steve told me the same trick, Todd. I’m gonna try it. I downloaded an mp3 from itunes and an app, Chakra Pro, for my iPhone. We’ll see how it works. I feel happier today after two days of trying it so…

  • amy cavanaugh

    tonight i practiced seeing auras-and visualizing energy forms-I am better at energy-

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Me too. I practiced on people at the airport and saw a blue dome over the crown chakras of people who seemed to be thinking. Got some paranoid looks though!

  • Joanne

    Elisa, thats a great way to pass the time at airports, or anywhere for that matter. Robert, I love your poem, thank you, hope you’re feeling well these days. xJoanne

  • amy c

    On this grounding thing-I learned this trick where you “hug a tree”. Place your cheek on the trunk and the tree will let you use its roots. I tried it-looked like a crazy lady but it worked. I think the big thing I learned in Atlanta is that everything has energy-everything is alive. We dont mind relying on others-so relying on trees-crystals-energy is just an extension of that.

  • http://www.facebook.com/robert.f.burke Robert

    Hi everyone. Thanks for the positivity towards the poem and my health. I’m healing well and excited about all the wonderful things which are about to unfold! :-) I hope everyone is having a wonderful life. We all deserve it. :-)

    Elisa, Erik says “Watch out! the grass is slippery!”….whatever that means. :-) He also says “I love you Mom!”. Ditto for me too!

    Big hugs and love to everyone!

    Robert

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I’m a klutz so I’ll prolly fall on my ass!!

    Robert it’s great to see a post from you, you have been missed. xJoanne
