You can extend a body scan to someone besides yourself. My nurse co worker, Laura, asked me to psychically scan her physical body at work one night, because she felt ‘sick’ and uncomfortable. As I began to move my focus from her heart to her stomach, I received a mental picture of graham crackers piled together and said, “I see stuck graham crackers.”

 

Laura had ‘gorged’ on graham crackers earlier, and I received a psychic ‘hit’ about this when I scanned her belly. I have learned to trust the visions even if they make no sense at first. In the past I would have dismissed this graham cracker image as a ‘figment of my imagination’, now I welcome my imagination and invite her along for every reading.

 

 

It's all about energy. Carolyn Myss has a book called, The Anatomy of Spirit, which skillfully explains our energy bodies and teaches us how to be intuitive about our health and our lives. By understanding how chakras, our energy body functions, we are able to learn a special language, Intuition.

 

For example, you notice that you feel grumpy and restless. The cause is unknown, and could be that you had little sleep last night or are coming down with a cold. Before you explain away your mood, this time you halt your assumption of the cause and experiment with ‘subtle energy interpretation’.

 

You mentally and receptively ‘scan’ your body, starting at the head. There feels like ‘a small headache pain at both temples and a ‘weighted area’ around your navel. You also feel sad, like your heart is sinking and your body is restless. 

 

You answered question number one, "Where do I feel the difference?"

 

Next, you ask, "Where is my source of this discomfort?"

 

It could be coming from you. But you'll be surprised at the many times it is not. Think about, one at a time, family, friends and associations you have. Pause with the image of each face, or situation. Focus on your bodily sensations each time you create a new thought.

 

Center your focus directly on the discomfort as do this. Does your irritation intensify when you focus on someone or some issue?

 

Eventually you will 'hit' on the cause, something inside you will 'click' and the uncomfortable sensations will lesson when this occurs. It's always possible that dis-ease will be coming from an imbalance in your physical body so don’t forget to include your body.

 

You may be waiting for an important letter and everyday it doesn't come. One day you feel extra anxious and jittery and you determine your sensation comes from an unknown source. As you scan your life, you 'hit' on the source of the ‘calling’ and feel an instant 'knowing' that your letter is the cause of your energy change. When you arrive home the letter is there.

 

People, visiting spirits and issues you're emotionally connected with, affect your subtle energies. Eventually you'll be able to distinguish between sensations coming from you and the ones coming from an external source.

 

When this happens you are sensing spirit: Your own spiritual anatomy, friends, family, associations in life, and also the subtle energies of life crossed over. With practice you’ll begin to tell the differences among them.

 

Sometimes the imbalance is more serious and involves one or more negative energy ‘parasites’.. The physical body, inhabited by a human soul can be attractive to needy energies. When you go through fearful anxious times you become more vulnerable to them and unknowingly allow yourself to ‘feed’ them. They need to be removed because these guys aren’t positive.

 

How to know if you have one? Lots of bad luck, constant depression, mental blocks, stomach aches, insomnia, and a ‘drained’ feeling like you’re always tired. After ruling out a live person connection who may have ‘stolen’ some of your energy, is ‘sucking’ your energy sort of like a vampire sucks blood, or who you are giving too much energy to through fear or insecurity, suspect a negative parasite.
