Deep Union, Deep Spirit
by Ananaia O'Leary

I want to see auras.

I want to hear messages from Spirit.

I want to sense the energies around me.

Have you ever expressed such a wish? In my work I often experience people, who yearn to connect more deeply with intuition and Spirit. They express this yearning as though it were something far off, difficult to attain, elusive. At times, they speak of such connection as a “special gift” ~ available only to a chosen few.

Connection with Spirit and intuition is not a gift available only to an elite group of psychic readers, healers and mediums. It is our essential human nature. It is who we are. The deep wisdom of the Infinite is our birthright.

Why then do we so often feel bereft of this connection … separated from Spirit? At the deepest level of our being our connection to Nature, Spirit and the Divine is complete, flowing and whole. What prevents us from experiencing this more fully, more directly?

It is the unhealed places within us that block this connection … our fear, our pain, our wounds, which stand between us and our unimpeded union with the Infinite. When we are overloaded with more stressors than we can process, our bodies and energy fields store these unprocessed experiences in the form of energy blocks. Sometimes disruptive energies around us intrude and become lodged in our energy field. Over time (often over the course of lifetimes), we create adaptations in our energy fields in an attempt to protect ourselves from future vulnerability.

While these strategies can help us to survive under stressful circumstances, the combination of these influences on our energy fields creates conditions in our consciousness which impede our ability to connect to the world in a holistic way. Obviously, this is a complex and individual process for each of us, with many variables. It can manifest in myriad ways, for example: lack of intimacy with fellow humans, Nature and ourselves; the shutting down of our innate intuitive channels; difficulty trusting or acting upon our inner guidance; the stifling of our authentic expression; alienation from the divine forces of the Universe.

Through healing and spiritual practice we can reclaim our union with intuition and Spirit . By releasing blocks, intrusions and adaptations, we engage an ongoing process of clearing the “static” that disrupts our intuitive connection. Is this easily done? Perhaps not, as it requires courage and commitment to engage the process. Stepping up to the work, this is the greatest challenge. Choosing a healing pathway and enlisting the support you need can also seem daunting. Yet when we step up to reclaim our wholeness, Spirit conspires on our behalf. If you are ready, set your intention clearly; announce it boldly and sincerely to the Universe through ceremony or affirmation. Step up! Healing can happen in an instant.

As we clear the pathways of communication, peace, joy, wisdom and clarity increase. We can walk more truly in alignment with our soul’s deepest intention and purpose.
