as for things that have imprinted upon me in a spiritual sense....
talking to creepy crawlies when I was a young girl...If I found a dead beastie...I would hold a little funeral ceremony for it and invite it's pals to come along... and sure enough when I dug a little hole and covered the wee mound in pulled up grass, lots of other little creatures would come along...i would say a prayer and wish it well on its way to beastie heaven......ahahaha perhaps the other beasties could sense a death and were just along for the free meal....but it all felt very sacred to me.....as a child I never ever felt alone....I just always felt a loving presence around me and would talk to 'god' like a mate....then I had a couple of out of body experiences as a young child between 7 and 9....and through my teens when my parents were going through a horrible break up and my older brother was wrapped up in heroin..... I used to skive school and just wonder for miles on my own in the countryside......I didn't realise it at the time, but looking back now, I think I was always in an expanded state of awareness...and being impacted/imprinted by 'higher/deeper' realties.....

My sisters and I always considered ourselves to be quite intuitive.....but when it came to the death of my brother( suicide) not one of us had an inkling anything was amiss.... seeing my brother's dead body was a hecak of a thing...I'd never seen a dead body before....and it really was just an empty shell, he wasn't in it anymore.... and i remember looking up to the ceiling and around the room to see if i could see or feel his spirit.........there was nothing!

I have since connected to him via meditation I saw his face in a sphere of golden light and he was smiling......

My brothers death was a turning point I questioned spiritual aspects much deeper...and was synchronistically led to healing....long story and I've already written my biography on here!! ahaha sorry.... but my healing experiences blew my mind.....!!!!! and after that I wanted to give to others what had been given to me.....

Sharon i thought i'd reply to the posts in the order of their appearance, as i had been some busy late couple of days.. but yours this one was one that was irresistable ...

spiritual imprints...most sacred places have become sacred because those places have generated a particular 'energy/quality/essence' that may be deemed 'holy and spiritual'.....and these very strong vibrations can trigger a shift in the consciousness of humans and expand their concsiousness and awareness to enable them to touch upon other very real spiritual dimesnions and realities.....so our ancient brothers and sisters built stone circles and temples to honour these sacred places.... as thousands of people visit these sites over the years, these places also become imprinted by the outpouring of loving energy of these visitors.... so firstly a place may imprint the atmosphere, then the people who visit then the very fabric of the physical material used to build the temples in their honour......then the very physical fabric also becomes imprinted by the thoughts and energy outpourings of the people who visit.......

i'd go with the analysis, rather slightly adding to it... it might be of interest to some people that "ACTUALLY" the gifted persons DO choose their eternal resting place... i mean, they by their height of spirituality, know what place of earth will suit to them for burial...

it seems quite strange that somebody will be choosing the eternal resting place for his left over physical body, but it is no surprise that this does happen... there are many logical reasons too...

the earth has different energetic patterns in different places... these energetic patterns are formed by a variety of factors... and only one or two of them i have read about... it has to do something with the composition of earth at that palce, the composition of ores in the clay beneath the sedimented upper layers... the composition of water, and the channel of water current underneath... and besides these physical factors, the energetic patterns do corrspond to the cosmic and astrological patterns, and so on.....


so a place is sometimes already sacred even before a personality gets his burial there, since there is a right 'pattern' waiting for him to receive his body... but when his body gets laid there, his spiriutal imprints start augmenting the sacredness / vibrational height of that place... and thirdly, a very apt analysis, the people who used to visit those places, are also who 'add' to the vibrational tags of that place.. and this process just goes on and on...

another thing that matters in 'maintaining' the vibrational sensitivity of that place is the fact whether a place of worship is annexed to such shrine or not... it is most often that a worship place is built alongside the shrine... it is not for the visitors alone... rather, the person whose body gets laid in the shrine, also uses the same worship place to offer prayers there, sinc the elevated souls, after their depart from here, do maintain a physical contanct with their physical resting place here in the shrine...


the place of worship also serves as a protective ring around the shrine and also balances the outporings, whether of the person burried there, or of the people who visit there with reverence and compassion !

we've all been in different buildings in hour life, some old houses hold the imprints of the energies of former residents....some fantastic some not so pleasant... I have one or two carved objects in my home.....I not only like them for the aethetic beauty, but for their eneretic beauty.......I can feel the energy of the people who took the time and care to make them... Its the same with old paintings in galleries.....some people become so dran into the piece of art, not only beacuse of its visual beauty but because of the energitc beaty imprinted into it's very fibre by the artist who created it...

a side note, have you ever felt that the things of our personal belongings like wrist watch, pen, cell phone, etc. also either entrain us to their vibrational presence, or if we are better, we entrain them to ours...

i've always felt a unique 'change of spiritual taste' whenever i have changed my cell phone after prolonged usage

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but a few years back when I was doing a healing course with Robyn Welch..we had a psychometry class, we all had to put a piece of jewellery in a basket and randomly take a piece and try and relay as much infomtion as we could about the person who's jewellry it was.... well everybody in the class picked up something, but I was absolutely useless at it.....I've never been so crapo at anything in my life!! ahahahah one girl was superb and all the other ladies wanted to go her after the class for some indepth readings....

anyway my point is, all experince has an energetic imprint...on places and things.. sometimes I pick something up, and sometimes I don't as clearly demonstrated in this class!!

well, what i have felt in psychometry that the object what we hold for readings is not the object of our 'central' focus... the more we make it central to our focus, the less we get readings... the object is only a connection, a means, and if little more, we dont need to focus... it tells us already

to get back to the symbols....I still get confused as to the various 'tales' about how he 'recieved /empowered these symbols etc... there is so much we don't know and very likely never will know...but as mentioned in another thread I see the symbols simply as keys to certain doors.. how and why they work I have no idea.. but What I really would like to see done is some decent scientific research into how the attunements effect the brain and the body's physiology........exactly what is going on at the energetic and physical levels...perhaps this will help us understand the process a bit more..

if we use science to understand how that works, it might be a long journey, if we understand this to have a feeling that how science can land onto it, it might be another sotry

I read a wonderful book titled Bones of the Master...about an old buddhist monk who goes back to the land of his birth to search for th bones of his master...its such a wonderful story .....one particular part that struck me was when he sat meditating in a cave and a physical light appeared at the point of is third eye.....the author of the book who went on the journey with him, was stunned by this....but the monk informed him that everyone has this light....I'm not articulating my point very well, but basically there is so much about our pineal glands that we don't fully understand yet...we know that it is light sensitive....... not only is this little part of our brain light sensitive, but it seems that this point also emits light.........a a huge amount of it.....

things are changing when we understand more about the functioning of our bodies I think we will understand more about our subtle enrgy systems and our greater spiritual potential..

ah, that makes me speechless literally! how brilliantly you have put the question on board... im loving the tone

I;d love to be a guinea pig.... I would like to get wired up while offering reiki and would like the recipient to be wired up and see just whats going on....

isnt that many of us have felt that during treatments, we have felt ourselves to be the body parts of the receipient, and have had a first-hand experience of how the receipient's body parts would be feeling by getting the energy....

it makes me more involved, when i feel i m the very stomach ulcer i m treating in the body of the patient lying in front of me... its all about feelings

so, you are already "wired" and you know it too !


take care

salman

Aye, but I want to see it within a scientific and qauntifiable context! ahahah

I like the idea of someone choosing their burial place for the spiritual and energetic qualities...I've never given any thought to a lifeless body adding to the quality and sacredness of a place...but this makes sense.....
