A very big aloha.
I'm Reverend Cindy Palos and I wish to talk today about how insight works.
Of course,
Insight Timer is an interesting name for the application which of course this is on and many of you use.
You're probably using it right now.
But what really is your insight and how good,
How clear is that insight?
Now when we meditate,
Of course we clear our mind by going within and we breathe and we just let go of our thoughts.
The thoughts are so interesting,
Right?
They'll just really just take you so many places.
A lot of it from what you see around you.
A lot of it could be from your dreams or your subconscious and your wandering ponderings.
I like that.
Don't you like that?
The wandering ponderings that occur in life.
But when you're going with insight,
How well do you see what is inside?
And I happen to have very bad vision of my outer world.
It's very,
Very,
Very,
Very bad vision.
But it's interesting.
I don't know how it correlates and I don't know if it does at all,
If it correlates with my inner vision.
Because your inner vision is taken from a different place entirely than your outer vision as you well know.
Now I've always been meditating and I started so long,
Long,
Long time ago when I was 13 years old.
I focused on my third eye.
And over time,
You know,
You begin to just do that naturally.
You don't even think about it.
You close your eyes and you look within at your third eye.
And there's always these beautiful colors,
The passing shadows,
The passing light,
The colors that are so beautiful.
Some are purple to me and green.
And some actually kind of look like clouds,
But often ethereal clouds,
Much lighter and more colorful than the clouds you would see in the sky.
So you just look at what's going on.
Now close your eyes and look and what do you see?
What is your in sight?
Now if you look inside,
It helps if you just concentrate and follow what's there.
And as you do this,
You will journey through a few different places.
First is usually some of the passing thoughts that I was mentioning.
You go through that.
And as you breathe deeper and go deeper,
You let some of that energy and the passing thoughts go.
And you can find that you can direct your in sight.
You can direct what you're seeing and where you're going.
Now that can be as simple as going,
I'm going to change my focus to tell you something.
I'm going to change my focus and connect with my soul.
So if you were to change your focus,
Would you know how to connect with your soul?
The interesting thing is that soul is so close to you and it's always with you.
Often if you're connected in your dreams or at times in your life when important things,
Your soul will be there and will give you direction.
But it's a subtle thing.
It's a very subtle energy.
So right now with your eyes closed,
Looking within,
Just allow yourself to be connected with your soul.
Think of that beautiful piece by Sting,
Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul be your guide.
Let your soul be your pilot right now.
Where would that pilot of your soul be guiding you?
Just let it speak to you in unspoken words,
Just directions that come in some inner way.
And breathe into it,
Just allowing yourself to travel with your soul as your pilot.
Breathing in and breathing out,
Feeling totally safe,
Surrounded in a perfect light,
Nothing to do,
But just let yourself be.
Ah,
Now you might feel lighter.
Do you feel more light?
Do you feel anything as you go deep within and direct your energy towards your soul in a conversation of sorts?
Think of how a conversation works.
Conversation is one communication.
If you had one communication to communicate with your soul,
What would it be?
What question,
What conversation,
What communication would you have with your soul?
And it could be a very quick question,
Or it could be a little longer.
But whatever way and length of time it is,
Allow your soul to be the person and the energy and the field that you're communicating with.
Maybe person's not the right word.
See,
It's beyond being a person,
Right?
It's your energy that directs you.
It's that light within.
Now,
Do you trust yourself enough to allow that soul,
Your inner,
Inner self,
To answer whatever question or communication you had?
And if so,
How would that happen?
How would this answer,
This communication,
This direction,
Whatever you may have in that energy,
How would you receive it?
Do you have an opening to trust enough to listen to your soul?
And remember,
Sometimes it's not a direct,
Quick answer.
Sometimes that answer may come in ways such as things that happen in your life,
Occurrences,
Things you might see.
It can be happening in many,
Many ways.
So,
If it's not directly clear,
Allow yourself the space and time and energy to allow it to answer you in the way that you can trust enough to receive it.
And just give that energy recognition.
It also helps to be grateful.
Just be grateful for that soul,
That beautiful presence,
That energy that you are.
Just be grateful.
You know,
Say thank you.
And know that in your heart and soul,
There is that power,
That energy,
That importance of that one great force in your life of your soul.
And you can always go within and call upon it.
You can always go within and connect with it.
But allow that direction and that energy and that connection to be open and allow it to come in many,
Many different ways.
And just say thank you.
And slowly come out of meditation.
Slowly return and just be in that beautiful space of that connection that you had with your inner self.
I thank you and I bow in gratitude to my soul and to yours.
