| If
it is your first time or you are relatively new to an Open Meditation Circle please
read the following notes to help you understand better, what the circle is for,
what takes place, and what is important for everyone to understand.
The circle
is always done around prayer and a ring of protection is asked for. Energy
is asked for within the circle and this is used by the mediums or those who are
developing to enable them to work. Also the healing ray is drawn into the circle
and each member can take a portion of that ray. What
takes place in the circle is the members who are developed or developing may come
and speak to you , by giving you something they have picked up. Please don't be
worried if you do not understand the message you are given, sometimes it may take
time for it to unfold, and sometimes it may have been misinterpreted. Remember
we are all learning and mistakes may occur. Also nothing should be opened up that
will be embarrassing or too personal to you. Another important point to raise
is the question of death, a true guide would never come through in a circle or
even a private reading and say someone is about to die, so if you have heard stories
like this in the past do not let it put you off it is more likely to be someone
on a ego trip and should be treated as such. It is also an opportunity for some
light meditation. People should not touch members to gain their attention as this
can startle anyone who is meditating or unaware of their presence, Speaking softly
and using the name of the person if known to gain their attention is the correct
way. It is also wise to remember that an open circle is not the place to go into
a deep meditation. Only
one person should speak to give a message at one time. Try not to talk or
discuss things with the person next to you , keep it until the circle has finished.
It is also important not to have a open discussion in the circle as this affects
the energies. It
is important to ground yourself in the circle, you can do this by having both
feet on the ground and imagining roots like a tree spreading from the souls of
your feet into the ground. At
the end of the circle, as we have been opening up we need to close down.
In an open
circle deep meditation can be risky and should only be done in a closed or private
circle where conditions are more conductive. Please
try not to have negative thoughts, remember people may be trying to pick up from
you and they do not want to pick up negativity. Also the center of the circle
is where we should put our energy, and also draw energy from, We should not be
sending or drawing energy directly from other members of the circle. |
