Hi Greg, I was going to call your voicemail and leave this story but I thought I'd spare you the trouble of deciphering my Irish accent and type it up instead. I just thought I'd share an experience which turned me from athiest to...whatever I am now. Maybe "comfortable in the knoweldge that theres more" would be a good label for it.
Around 1o years ago a friend of mine was seeing a girl that did reiki and tarrot readings and she offered to do both for me. I had been single for a couple of years and I was sick of my job so I was interested in getting a reading to find out if my luck was about to change. I had heard about reiki and was kinda sceptical but willing to give it a go. The reading told me what I wanted to hear, that I was going to meet someone within 3 months and that this girl would be perfect for me, so much so that I'd feel like I had just won the lotto. And I would also be changing jobs not too long after that. The reading was good, but what really spun me around was the reiki session. As she was moving to different parts of my body I could see different colours behind my closed eyes. I didnt know that each chakra had a colour associated with it, so I was facinated with these colours and the way they changed when she moved to another part of my body.
After the session we spoke about this and she told me that not everyone experienced this and it meant that my chakras had been opened/cleared out. I felt like I was buzzing. She also told me that she could sense my spirit guide/guardian while she was doing it, and that I had a female energy watching over me. She was also able to tell me that I had an an old neck injury and she could sense pain in my knee, which were both spot on. We smoked a little smoke and a litte later on I made my way home, still vibrating from the session.
I got back to my apartment and sat on my couch looking at the TV but not really watching it. I kept thinking about my spirit guide. I closed my eyes and found that I went immediatly into a deep meditative state. I found myself in a completely dark place, formless and floating, but aware of another presence. I could feel love radiating from them and was happy just to be in their presence for a while. After some time of this my ego decided to poke it's head into the situation and I thought to myself "this isnt real, you're just imagining it". No sooner had the thought formed in my mind and another sentence appeared fully formed - "no you're not". It was so strong and different from the way my own thoughts form that I knew it was real. I asked some questions and got the answers immediatly as fully formed thoughts. When I asked if she was with me all the time I got the reply "I'm with you when you need me". She told me that we were in a kind of waiting room and when I asked to be shown what was outside of the waiting room, a small oval shaped hole appeared in a curtain-like wall as if it was being pulled back ever so slightly to allow me to peep through at shapes and colours that I've never seen before and it all felt so beautiful and loving.
After a while I thanked her and pulled away and floated back to my couch, stunned. I sat there contemplating it all for a while, not watching some more TV. Almost giddy from the nights experiences and not ready to end it yet, I decided to close my eyes again and see if I could still get back there, and found that I could. I did it several more times that night and just kinda hung out with her for a few minutes at a time and came back. Then the last time I went I found myself alone in the space. It felt like a shutter had been pulled down, as if to say "enough now".
I've never managed to get back to that place or have any communication with my guide again but I have had some powerful, almost orgasmic meditation sessions. I don't think I had a full on kundili awakening but I think the reiki session might have tickled it and disturbed it : )
Three months after that night I met my current partner. Within 18 months we had moved in togehter in a different city and I had a new job and new life and I've never been happier.
