Hi, this is such a fascinating thread. I had some out there experiences as a child/teenager, but was always sceptical about channeling...my ex was not, and I'm sure he channeled some really dark stuff. He had books that I wanted out of the house and he would only sell them when I thought (I didn't tell him) that they should have been destroyed. I had to get a long way (energetically) from that stuff.
I have felt like my mum's energy rubbed off on me when she passed, and I had to find a way of clearing that. I practice Reiki and have had some really revealing spiritual experiences. For me, the clearest experience was a series of energetically threatening experiences. It's is hard to describe, but I had to face up to something huge. It took a long time, but after a solid week, when each night there would be an overwhelming, heavy, awful presence with me all night, I faced up to it. I had to go through some stages, and then I faced it and I was judged. All the creepy negative stuff that I had been trying to get away from before that seemed so tiny and laughable after that, and I stopped worrying about darkness and light so much. I have lucid dreams where I go to my front door at night to lock it, and the key keeps turning in it but never locks and I choose to go out now, and face up to whatever is out there. I don't know if this is anything like channeling.
The presence is definitely not a light or high vibration energy though. It is huge, dense and bull-like, and the only way I can describe the vibration is round, and like it surrounds and expands away at the same time.
I also don't feel Reiki after this, but I trust it completely.
I haven't heard the word oversoul before. Do you think it has to be light?
I feel most grounded after I have been swimming (probably just because of the heavy feeling) but I also feel more energised and connected to my potential. I haven't spoken about this, and I feel unsure of why I want to write it here. It was just a big flip for me in how I felt the spirit, and it feels safe, even though it is like dark water. Do you know of anything like this?
