A Stream of Consciousness on Healing Circles and Yoga Nidra

Due to my continued struggle to find what the next chapter should be, I've gone to a couple healing circles in the last two weeks. Last Wednesday, I got a message from one of the reiki masters saying that my soul is ageless, that though I may only be turning 25, I've been old before. This week, I got quite a few useful messages. One being that my crown chakra is closed and that it needs to be open for me to find clarity. Another being that I will be sorting through my akashic records in order to figure out where I will most likely go in this lifetime. Akashic records are our previous lives. I recognize that most readers are likely to leave this page here and now because for many, reincarnation does not ring true as it does for me. As mentioned in an earlier post, when I first learned of it, I thought, of course! I just feel like I've been here before struggling through the same murky BS trying to find a niche to fit comfortably into. Can't explain why, just a feeling I can't shake. Anyway, I was also told to have faith that I will be at the right place at the right time.

Another thing I've been adding to my nightly ritual is a 20 minute yoga nidra meditation. It's the perfect thing to do right before bed because it's super relaxing, you get to do it lying down, and means yoga sleep. It's guided and they always have you relax a part of your body at a time until you've relaxed all your fingers and toes and facial muscles. You become completely aware of your body and how your pulse feels running through your hands, your torso etc. Then you come up with a positive intention which you say (in your head) in the present tense three times. For me it's been, "I'm the embodiment of complete health" since I'm still working on kicking this cold out. I used this meditation in the months leading up to my six month hiking trip with the thought "I am discovering the best version of myself on the Appalachian Trail". And since I was obsessed with the idea that I needed this trip,  I would say it way more than three times.
Oddly enough, these guided meditations can be found on YouTube, not that anyone's interested. But if there happens to be just one person who is, you're welcome.
