How Perception Influences & Shares Our Intuition
September 3, 2021
In the fifth installment of our six part series, we will be discussing How Perception Influences and Shares Our Intuition. Your perception of reality is influenced by your ego characteristics and it could affect your actions, decisions and emotions. If your perception is clouded by negative energy, it becomes difficult to trust and follow your intuition. If, however, you learn to trust and operate from your intuitive sense, you will begin to clearly hear, sense or know. This is because your intuitive sense does not have the emotional filters you normally rely upon. The question then becomes, if you could focus on what is being presented without judgment or reaction, what would be revealed?
As an example, today I received a free lesson in honing my intuition. I joyfully drove up to my favourite coffee shop to get in line for the drive through. Another vehicle and myself approached the lineup at the same time. There were two ways to approach the line up. I moved forward slightly to proceed but the person in the other vehicle got impatient and honked their horn to let me know they were next. I gladly allowed the other vehicle to proceed ahead of me, even though the line wasn’t moving. There was some kind of issue being resolved at the drive through window. The other person waited approximately a minute before pulling into a parking stall and proceeding to enter the coffee shop.
Soon after, the line began to move and I joyfully placed my order. I acknowledged the person who was so impatient and sent good vibes their way. I hoped that they would have a better day. I approached the drive through window ready to pay for my coffee order when the lovely barista informed me that the person in front of me paid for my coffee. Wow, that made me feel so grateful and thankful. It truly made my day!
Thank you to whoever you are for your random act of kindness. This situation showed me that because I chose to stay calm, positive and send love, the outcome was definitely a great gift. Unfortunately, the person who was impatient missed out on that gift. I wonder how many acts of kindness I missed due to my impatience and feelings of being inconvenienced. I am sure there were many, many times. The difference today was that I chose a different way to show up. I showed up with love, kindness and a curiosity of what the universe had to offer.
Any time you have an agenda, cause, purpose or focus, it triggers a need for self protection.
This is because it is reminiscent of a story you have experienced before. You will continue to respond, react or behave in a similar way, until the emotional elements are properly healed. When there is trauma, this is especially true, as it will linger and wait until a particular trigger reappears. In repairing the damage, you can find the courage to face your everyday realities. As you continue to heal, you will begin to understand the matrix you live in.
The assemblage point, as described by Carlos Castaneda in The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowing (1985), further explores this concept through a shamanic lens. Those on a warrior healing path strive to control reality by mastering their awareness. This requires being aware of your intention and holding space for it. Once mastered, your intention will grow with a clearer understanding of your surroundings. If you are not on this path, you can still gain a different perspective and ultimately evolve your intuition. The previous discussion on the three categories of our body structures, core personality and moods of stalking are also prevalent and involved in this awareness.
A trained practitioner, who is familiar with the assemblage, can assist and instill relief from the emotions that shroud and darken your experiences. Emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, distress and panic will remain if they are not properly healed. This tends to silence your intuitive abilities. In finding the root cause or removing the delusion, you could gain a deeper understanding of your intuitive abilities on a level you have never before experienced. The key components to reaching this level are intent, awareness and alchemizing the energy. This can help the energy transform and allow you to engage or observe objectively in what is occurring. If you can find the truth in this for yourself, a new trust will emerge and you will experience a new freedom.

Part six, which concludes our series, will discuss How we can Improve Our Intuition. It will be posted to our blog on September 17, 2021.
The ‘Veil' - the dividing line between the divine, and this physical construct of earth. So many of us still don’t see the magic that can be witnessed between here and there. Often, you will hear that the veil is thinner than it has been at other times of the year, or during a spiritual retreat or ceremony. We are the creators of our existence. We have the power to make this happen, whether we are attuned and initiated into Reiki, or not. The difference between having Reiki as a lifestyle, as opposed to not having it, was revealed to me over the past couple of years. I see how quickly people are learning what took me 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Good news for those who waited, and also for those who started three decades ago. The time construct is an illusion. Time doesn’t exist, so really, we are all precisely where we need to be. Comparison using a timeline, really, is a process of our perceptions and what we align with in the moment. For example, I am currently in a new meditation practice, and a new experience has arisen. In this experience, a whole new reality unfolds, presenting a new opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of myself, and create more extraordinary experiences. Reiki will bring us all to this place eventually, guided and protected so our childlike wonder can develop and take us beyond the veil. Can we achieve this without Reiki? Absolutely, but as a person who is sensitive to energy, I find this modality has given me the love and grace to explore with childlike wonder. I still get to listen to, and follow my higher knowing, and it insists that I do so, but I get to move along at the pace of growth that serves me best (even if my ego thinks differently). Not all of it has been easy, but as parents allow their child to learn to walk and become more human, so does God, Spirit and the creator, allow us to develop in whatever way is intended for each of us. This reflection has both positive and negative aspects, from which we can learn. Soon, the child knows not to touch the hot flame or burning wood. Beyond the veil is where we can heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is where the supernatural kicks in. As this human experience unfolds, we get to observe, watch and learn. Become the watcher, become the magician, and orchestrate the reality your eyes desire to see. There is no prescribed timing, or amount of required waiting. We only need to allow flow, let go, and enjoy the experience. This is only possible when we are the closest to the veil, or when there is the thinning of the veil, as the veil itself on this side of the human experience creates the illusion. Reality awaits beyond the veil—the experience where we heal, grow, and evolve into our life purpose, the place of our universal connection to our creator self, and where we recognize who our guides, teachers, and higher self are, as well as the reality we desire to be in. When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time, do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters, and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic, and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality. Tips for aligning with the “Veil”: Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-hei-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem. Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien). Open-heart connection. Simply touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position. Surrender. Open up to receive with childlike wonder. Calm the mind. Hear your breath or a continuous noise - no thought. Meditation. Starting with a simple OM Meditation is excellent, 10 to 15 minutes, allow yourself to feel. Breathing. Circle your breath - up from the bottom of the left foot and up the body over the crown, and then exhale down the right side. Consult your inner knowing. See if your inner knowing relays any messages, images, or body sensations. Pay attention . An image is worth a thousand words. Journal. Write, dream and create what those meanings are for you. Take action. Move and do one thing that brings reality closer to you. If you need help facilitating any steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!
