Trusting the Extraordinary

It's Up to You!

I came to fully embody the certainty that my extraordinary experiences are real and hold meaning. I didn’t walk with that as a fundamental truth for quite some time; my rational mind prodded me to dismiss significance, especially in the most uncanny experiences.

Gratefully, my rational mind caught up with my intuitive senses. Some friends, with whom I never discuss my QHHT hypnosis practice or certain beliefs, and with whom I enjoy dining and having meaningful conversations, may say that I am "woo woo" or dismiss some of my insights - just as much as they dismiss the extraordinary.

Yet, I’m bolder about speaking of mysterious things - if the occasion warrants, even at the risk of critique. It is this boldness that also keeps me accountable in the trust-the-experiences department. Trusting is key; as I trust the extraordinary, intuitions, synchronicities, and insights occur more often.

In other words, being open to these experiences becomes the act of seeing. I look in that direction rather than hold fast to what’s physically in front of me or to what I’m used to. It is this paying attention that has allowed me to become a channel for not only personal knowing and guidance, but also for a broader knowing that shows up on behalf of others.

I especially emphasize trusting impactful experiences to my QHHT clients. I recently received an email from a client who experienced remarkable healing, especially emotionally. Even during our phone conversation before the session, I could sense there was a force within her wanting to burst forth, let go of the old, and shift her life. As with everyone, I encouraged it.

In that powerful session, she embodied what it feels like to live without self-doubt, in overflowing action, joy, support, and ease in teaching others. She received physical healing as well as clarity for her life. And although she wrote to me about how pleased she was, how her sense of self had changed, and how ready she felt for what was coming, she still questioned her visceral experience. She asked who it was that had been speaking and whether she had simply made it all up.

Doubt is in our nature. Some of that is important critical thinking. However, when one is immersed in an intensely transformative experience, especially without any substances, doubt can just be the ego fighting for its comfortable status. I implore others, as I do myself, to take the leap in trusting and being curious about unusual events or experiences.

So I reminded her, as I do others, that as she trusts all that occurred and doesn’t dismiss the feelings she embodied and the outcomes she is experiencing even now, life will begin to reciprocate in turn with shifts and more awareness.

This reciprocation also includes those ordinary moments of the serendipitous, when perhaps suddenly you see someone you haven’t seen in 20 years shortly after thinking of them for the first time in years, or realizing that you knew something would occur before it happened. These are the moments to take into account and to gain meaning from, even if most overlook them.

I know when I dismiss these unmistakable experiences, I shut down. Or when I’m shut down, I dismiss what could most support me. I miss out on the thrill of being grounded in something that has meaning beyond the facts before me. I miss out on being open to more.

When we embrace even the smaller evocative experiences, they snowball. Giving them weight they deserve, in itself, allows these kind of occurrences to be happen even more. The obviously transcendent experiences that come from quantum healing hypnosis, psychedelic journeys or other kinds of depth work, will also shift perspectives even faster as we trust them.

I believe we're meant to know the extraordinary, to transform and uplift our view of reality while staying grounded in it. It is up to you to believe in the extraordinary and allow it to be.
