It is a fairly small window of time. I also relate this to Being, if that makes any sense. |
Interesting Alsy - I've been practicing a lot with using the navel chakra as a portal to bridging the illusion of separation through connecting to other energies and it has been very revealing. Something else that was said is that when the body is guided to realize the illusion then the forearm can be the crown chakra or the thigh can be the third eye and so on. Through this practice I'm beginning to experience this happening within my body
rather than just as an intellectual concept. The main difference that I'm finding is that instead of large shifts in consciousness being overwhelming in a traumatic way, they are flowing and moving in a very graceful and beautful way, yet bring me to the very profound understandings of my inner self all the same. This has allowed me to make bigger shifts and integrate them fluidly. It's been a very revealing and educational time for me, because when I was younger I was a bit more arrogant and rigid about my spiritual practice
and beliefs and since opening up to other ways my experiences have become far more rich and fulfilling.
