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 has caught up with my esoteric 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 that I dismiss reality - just as they dismiss the extraordinary.

I've come to see that as I trust the extraordinary, intuitions, synchronicities, and insights occur more often. 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.

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.

Doubt is in our nature, though. And so I implore others, as I do myself, to take the leap in trusting and being curious about unusual events or experiences.

I especially emphasize this 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, who it was that had been speaking and whether she had simply made it all up.

Oh how quickly we dismiss our own feelings and sublime experiences. (BTW, we are making up our lives on a daily basis, but that’s another article.)

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

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 trust in and to gain meaning from, even if most overlook them. The obviously transcendent experiences that come from quantum healing hypnosis, psychedelic journeys, Reiki, or even dreams may be easy to dismiss as well.

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 I embrace these moments or experiences, circumstances can ease and shift, and insightful information is available.

So let even the smaller evocative experiences snowball. The more we let them roll and turn our attention toward them, the more they seem to occur. The life-altering experiences will most certainly shift perspectives even faster as you 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.
