Scrying is the means of divining through gazing. The diviner will stare into (or perhaps beyond) a dark, reflective surface. Scrying can be done in a dark mirror, a bowl, a crystal, or a surface of water under the moonlight.

How do you 'scry yourself?' We find much more information about ourselves; the illusion of ourselves that we have decided unconsciously, to believe in. While we divine ourselves daily and we all do this,  we look into our dark recesses to discover who we have chosen to be. We have been taught to not like certain parts of ourselves that we call our shadow selves or our darkness. Yet, this reflective surface that we gaze into is utterly magical! It is as malleable as we are fallible.
I see my conditioned, taught-thoughts melting away, floating away in bubbles of light. I realize them and they show me this illusionary experience.

Oh, how the sacredness of creation forms. Grows and pushes its way into the light of experience!

Has your mind ever changed? Humans are fallible. Energy is malleable. Changeable. Creative. Experiential. Isn’t it interesting that we can be the bearer of a thought that we create, that we don’t like? In Harry Potter, Dumbledore used his wand to pull a memory out of his head to examine it further in a pool of water. He was scrying his own thoughts for a different point of view. Perception. What we make of it. Our thoughts are our choice. We create them to experience ourselves through, like it or not.
We show ourselves that there is more to us than we think, when we think a thought and then decide we may not like the thought. We have depth. We have the ability to go from surviving confusion to thriving in awareness and peace of mind. All-knowing presence can be and is tapped into. We do have the ability to experience the larger picture.  We can experience clear seeing; clairvoyance through the reflective mirror of our own soul! We have free will and can make any decision we would like to and live within the consequences of our choice. At any given moment we can go from karma; action and reaction to stepping outside of duality into soul consciousness. Awareness of the thought we have created and it’s consequences that directly affect ourselves and indirectly affect all else.

When we experience our shadow self, a dark night of the soul, our own darkness we become unconscious. We begin to rapidly set the scene for us to envision in this dark, reflective surface of our own mind. Many times this is a time of transition. We feel we are at a crossroads in our life and don’t know where to turn. We begin to berate ourselves, deeply pulling up our own mis-guided taught-thoughts in order to examine them closely. We may feel an internal fight. We may look for ways to continue this argument outside of ourselves in television shows, movies, theatre, music, addictions, blaming, cajoling, picking fights, stealing, and so forth. Let’s face it. We are lost and unconscious at these times. We may have the intellectual knowledge that we are aware of our behaviors and yet, feel we are lost in our grievances. Our trepidations and angst. Gasping for air, pleading for direction. We may decide we simply do not care about ourselves or others at these tragic times. We cannot see past the boundaries of our own creation and believe that this is all there is to life, forgetting the magnificent times we have lived within as well.  This very act of thought shows us we are aware that there is more to life than a thought. We do have the ability to see in many ways at he same time. We can see the larger picture when we allow it.

Someone once told me that, “The other persons feelings matter just as much to them, as yours do to you.”  Compassion is being with suffering. We suffer when we tear and rip our truth away from ourselves whether it be truth we like or dislike. We may feel uncomfortable with our own and others suffering and yet, when we decide not to look at it, to run from a truth, we become the lie. We feel this lie and begin to not trust in ourselves, others and life in general.  We construct hopelessness, losing control, feeling isolation, thinking we are unwell.

Love is of itself
Not to be owned,
Nor toyed with.
Love has teeth to rip
And lips to sensuous to prove. ~ Michele Nappi

Sometimes love feels like a paper cut, splicing nerves and searing pain sharply winding it’s way to the heart. At times this feels all the usual. This description of love is man-made. By going into our darkest shadows we free ourselves from the fear we have held. We were born of darkness; the womb. In the darkness we also see the brilliance of stars that shine and the moon that glows.  We all go along for a while and then crash, emotionally. It is a cycle of life, of growth, of giving way for newness to emerge. We all feel like a child at this time. We are reminded that we are children of the universe.  All is illusion. All is temporary.  All can be embraced by releasing and letting go of our stuck places.

In Sacred Darkness there is Divine Light. Avoidance creates the focus. We build emotional darkness. We construct our lives to avoid the darkness; pain and suffering and yet, this is what makes it last longer.  By accepting the all of ourselves with compassion, we find tranquility. That is nirvana. Yes, it can take great courage being in darkness and yet, we see ourselves for our truth much more succinctly in this place we deem black. This is fear. When we can truly accept our dualistic darkness we realize that we held ourselves within ‘sides.’ We were the ones that bounced ourselves back and forth within those confines. When we decide to allow the not knowing, we discover the whole of ourselves to become conscious. We realize this space of silence within ourselves that connects us with all else. We release our melancholy selves to embrace our heart and soul. We can then care for ourselves in a way we have never allowed ourselves. What a wondrous place to be.  Breathe deeply and fully.  We know ourselves this way. We have gone from one side of the island, to discover the whole.  We can release dread. Anxiety which is fear of the future, sadness which is regret of the past, depression which is our truth we have not allowed ourselves to own. Your soul lives to evolve. When we stay stagnant our energy disintegrates. This is dead energy; energy that has been held onto for so long that it no longer serves a purpose, no longer serves the purpose we created it for. We become the walking dead.

How is a miracle and humor alike? They are both unexpected. 

Remember that out of your deepest, darkest fears a new cycle of evolution calls to life itself. Embrace the moment for what it is, AS IT IS and move forward with the energy you are creating with. You alone are enough. Be. You are the gift. Be unexpected as is humor and like the miracle that you are.

It is a Process

"There are times when we accept an idea, a word, some energy and wish to flow with it. We say, "Oh, that makes sense." Intellectually accepting something. We move forward to incorporate this newness into our lives. This is a process. We are human with all of our conditioning and taught-thoughts. We are pack animals. It takes great courage to go against the norm of the day. This is expansion. Sometimes this strikes fear into others. Unless we are highly evolved spiritual beings, we typically act out our fears directly or indirectly. Our ego lurches forward. We fall into a fit. We may say things to others to injure them so that they join us in our suffering. We may belittle them.
Altering our energy, our way of looking at things comes and goes like the tide. We may feel vulnerable. Some may see this vulnerability as a means to attack to say, "See! I told you so." They are being righteous and indignant. We all suffer. We all change in cycles. It is a PROCESS. If you feel others can not support you, find others who can. With all the multi-media we have access to, there are many avenues of support. Go within, meditate, find peace. Concentrate on your breathing. Release the past, be here now. 
With each wave of energy we can choose to float or swim against the tide. Choose empowering thoughts. Post affirmations where you can see them. Know that this too, shall pass. Be your own best friend. You are loved and lovable. You are perfectly wonderful just the way you are." ~ Michele Nappi - Mystic Medium

Developent of the Unconscious Self Into Consciousness of Enlightenment

Development of the Unconscious Self Into Consciousness of Enlightenment
@ Michele Nappi – Mystic Medium
moonlightgiftshoppe@yahoo.com
1. Focus. You are what you seek. You create through your thoughts that create a certain frequency of vibration in your body, that attracts this same vibration to you. This is a mirror effect. When we act out our unconscious, egoic conditioning we create attachment and addiction. Lower frequency vibration of thinking is our greatest addiction. Thoughts can become living things. This becomes our cycle of life. In duality, where there is darkness there is light. Bring your unconscious conditioning and taught-thoughts out into the light of day, so to speak. As you focus, come to an understanding within yourself. Release and move forward.
2. Healing: When you focus you bring up denser energy within yourself to release. When we do this we sometimes take a step ‘back’ and find ourselves feeling ‘down.’ We know that in duality we have chosen words to express what we are experiencing. We may find ourselves in a rut. Reminder: what comes up is to be released. Accept yourself where you are. What we resist, persists. Take a break and rest. Breathe light into your body. Allow what ever is ready to pass, to pass. Reiki; universal energy is a beneficial healing modality to soothe the mind, emotions, and physical body. Reiki meets you where you are and raises your particular frequency of vibration. It assist in psychic development, as well!
3. Meditate: This is not meant to be painful or overly time consuming. Take a few minutes when you shower to bless the living water that you cleanse yourself with. Say, ‘thank you.’ You might even smile, to experience the body’s natural endorphins and serotonin release. Imagine your chakras being cleansed and balanced. See the ‘yuk’ go down the drain. As you give thanks imagine being grounded to the earth following the blessed living water down into mother earth.
4. Support: You are your main support. When we think we are alone, this increases separation feelings. When we are ‘down’ we feel alone in the energy we have created through our thoughts. This is not meant as judgment or blame, it is an awareness to work with. You are empowered and enlightened. You are a very powerful Being. Find others of like-mind who support you and encourage you. We are all in this together. No one is ‘better’ or ‘worse.’ This is all a part of releasing old, worn-out taught-thoughts. As we expand our vibration to a finer frequency, we are bring forth unconscious attachments, additive ways of thinking we may not be aware of and have chosen to release. We look at these thoughts not to injure ourselves or others, but to let them go. It is a process. Thinking can become an addiction, just like any other. Take time and be sure to give yourself a break for fun and enjoyment. This is not a race. It is an experience and we get to decide what to make of it.
5. Practice: Practice what you believe in. Practice with yourself and others. For example: Cut out a few photos from a magazine. Turn them over so that you don’t see the picture you have chosen. Move them around and around. Pull one out, without looking at the image. Write down what ever you pick up. Then turn the picture over. You can do this with paint sample cards you can find at a hardware store, too. Use your imagination. Experiment. Call a friend or have a friend call you. Tell them what you physically ‘see’ around them, what feelings you are picking up; use your senses in this distance exploration.
6. Tools: Pick which ever tool resonates with you at the time; gemstones, oils, Tarot, tree hugging, laughing, Rune stones, magic, pendulums, and so forth. Glean what you can from the energy. Remember that as a physical body you are a tool as well, to explore. Experience sensations, emotions, moods, touch, sight, breath, etc. You might think of what you ingest into the body as a tool; liquid and fiber. Sustenance. Sometimes we use food and liquids to satiate and console. What tools are you choosing to create through? A great tool is journaling. This is your private history for you to look back on over time to see where you have been and where you would like to go. You get to see yourself in a way that you may not have expected. You get to release your expectations. Praise yourself for your courage and bravery when ever you read through your journal. See that when you have written down your truth in the moment that you are a warrior, a goddess. Why do you think people through the ages have created anything like art, music, theatre, and so forth? We do it to experience the release of creation so that we can continue creating anew. We show others that they can experience this, too. We show ourselves that reality is in the eye of the beholder. We give ourselves and others our blessing.
7. Give and Receive: Give to receive. Receive to give. The cycle of life is great abundance. When we choose to stop giving we stop receiving and vise versa. Give to yourself so that you can receive from others. Give to others so that you are open to receive. For some it is much more comfortable to give than to receive. For some receiving the compassion and care from outside of ourselves hurts. What is expected of us in return, we think. We may feel vulnerable. As we release fear, we can accept caring and compassion without the worry that we owe something back. As we do this, we become a gentle soul. We release our ego and connect with our heart. We come to an understanding within ourselves that all is well.
8. Listen to hear yourself. If you don’t listen to yourself you create a space for the same frequency of vibration to fill. When we are feeling separated out from others, we can take that as a cue that we have not been listening to ourselves; our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual selves. We are human in this dense, physical form and yet we are also the universal soul energy. You can say to yourself, “I hear you.” Treat yourself the way you would like to be treated. This increases your awareness exponentially.
9. Imagery: Create a space within your mind that you can go to when ever you choose, to rest and relax. Create the home of your dreams and decorate it any way you would like to. Meditate there, give yourself a massage, a healing, drink of blessed living water from a fountain, surround yourself with the brilliance of any gemstone, color, frequency you would like! This is your space to shine and flourish. Meditate on this energy, on this imagery. Create. Accept. Allow. Breathe deeply.
10. Free will: You have free will. You create. You decide. Empower yourself. You are as enlightened as you possibly can be in any given moment. You are as free as you would like to be. Yes, you may say, “But I, could I, would I, should I (should denies reality – it either is or it is not), got to, must, have to” and so forth. Yet, you are in control. We all have fears. Cuddle with the fear. Hug your fear. Be your own best friend. Allow the fear instead of creating a stronger wall up against it. Talk to it. Tell yourself, “I have your back. I am here for you and with you always.”
11. Thank yourself: You are doing the very best you can in any given moment. Give yourself a pat on the back for your efforts. Support YOU. Say, “I am grateful. I believe in me. I trust me. I am fulfilled. I am at peace. I am blessed beyond measure. “ Even when we say these things and don’t really believe it at the time, we have created anew. It is a process. We take one step forward to two steps back and all the while knowing that in duality these are the confines. The not-so-simple truth is, “A truth is something you decide to believe in, most likely through sentimental conditioning and taught-thoughts. THE truth would be true for all without exception. “ It is up to you and has been all along. Within this knowledge lays your empowerment, your consciousness. I believe, you have known this all along. You came here as your soul with a deep knowing. This inner knowing has never left you. You may have left it, along the way and yet, you and I can connect with this great, vast knowing when ever we choose to. This is the all-knowing presence of pure consciousness that is nirvana, that is so very peaceful. You effect the whole! You are matter. You matter.
