10.10 Dizziness
There is nothing wrong with feeling a bit light-headed after some
practices that take you far into the space. In certain states of
expanded consciousness you feel extremely light and a bit
euphoric, as if you had drunk one or two glasses of champagne.
However, it is not always you who are light-headed, it is the
others who are ‘heavy-headed'! Life in the common discursive mind
creates a suffocating gravity of thoughts and emotions. But people
don't even notice it, because they have been conditioned to it for
so long.
As you advance, a moderate feeling of lightness resulting from
your practice will become ‘normal’ and integrated into your usual
way of functioning. You won't even notice it. Even if in the
beginning you feel a bit ‘different’, you will soon find it easier
and more efficient to operate from this state of lightness. (When
you start working with angels, it is an absolute delight, as if you
were flying in your shoes.)
If for some reason the light-headed feeling was to become
uncomfortable, the following suggestions would very probably
restore the situation quickly:
- Practise the grounding exercises indicated in the chapters on
protection (Chapters 18 and 20), keeping a strong awareness in the
eye and in the belly. - Eat! Eating is one of the best ways to create a short term
grounding. If a friend of yours is completely spaced out after a
meditation and if there is any urgent reason to bring him back,
then feed him. In an emergency resort to heavy foods: cakes, and
even meat. This is dramatically efficient, but don't abuse it: proper
grounding is supposed to come from your mastery of energy
(Chapters 18 and 20), not from a dubious diet!
In the chapters related to protection, it will become very clear
that the Clairvision style of work aims at grounding as much as
connecting with the space.
10.11 Getting fed-up or emotional
What is happening when you feel fed-up or emotional as a result
of your meditation? Your emotional blockages are being revealed
by your work of opening. This is quite logical and necessary. As
you try to refine and purify your system, you meet all that is
unclear inside, so that you may release and heal it. These emotional
blockages are like smears in your astral body. It is often by
