Hello Kate, welcome in our lovely group, nice to have you here ♡ If you have any questions or anything,just ask, everyone here are very helpful and kind ♡

Sorry wanted to reply, had it on reply but didn't pushed the button. I had the same problem, flooding of the many thoughts when I had to meditated. For me it helped to imagine, the trash can, and with every thought which appeared in imagined put that thought into the trash can with my imagination. Which helped for a bit. Also binaural beats, they're amazing. In the night before bed I was listening the " meditations for sleeping rewire my brain while i was sleeping" I haven't had it on headphones or anything just left my phone on youtube on charger whole night listening in the volume I found okay to sleep through. But recently I got into crystals, I bought some home and I love them. I never had crystals before nor did I cared. But I had videos popping to me and showing me moldavite aswell. So I bought myself one but this one is with Moldavite+tektite and herkimer diamond. I can say I had intention of a change, but I said that I would love change and help with my abilities and all, and to protect me, not to give me harsh and quick changes which will be hard for me to swallow. With this i can say for sure i have no thoughts , I mean no overthinking, I was overthinker, and it stopped. It calms me down and safe when around some bad vibes and I love the pendant, love how i can feel the changes coming , but with subtle nice changes. Also helping me more to have stillness while meditating and focus more. I know it's working as when my youngest son is upset or around people he is scared or don't like their vibes , when he is on my arms he is holding my pendant in his tiny hand, he's 2 in August. So he is calming and protecting himself with it while holding it. Sorry for the long message and also I agree with Erinda, frequencies are amazing to calm your mind. Also Chantress Seba is amazing, check her out on YouTube. Candle flame is great start too, to try focus just for few minutes and then just prolong it more and more as you feel more at peace. Let us know if anything :) ♡

@Keith Varney that's amazing, so you have better hearing regarding the tones,frequencies and all as you working with it. Haven't heard any binaural tones from them yet. So might be worth for me to try too. Thank you :) I am not meditating often only when I can, but had been so busy for past week or two that I didn't do so. But look the classroom in here, Olga has amazing followed meditation and it helps alot aswell, aswell with protection while meditating and closing your field after. Also practice with 3rd eye. I bet you already looked. Don't worry about the time, look what pulls you, which of them you feel pulled to, i do that :) Also regarding crystals, I haven't too before, never did. But really felt the pull to look into it,out of nowhere and then the moldavite was into me. Weird , but felt like spirit showing me pulling me what to look. Olga has nice crystals and smudging and all. I bought my moldavite trio from Mark Bajerski as I know all of it is authentic and it's amazing. Take your time with everything. It's pulling you now with all the info and your body(intuition) will tell you the best what to do next as you will know. Sorry for long messages 😀 but if anything, ask anything , people here are very kind and helpful :)

@Alina Iftimescu wow? Exciting, your dreams really, I know these feelings, like you learned and in the end when you wake up you have no idea. But the dreams are very real. It's like you're in reality. Priestess wow cool, I have some nudges into magic/witching since I was kid, not sure but was so obsessed and really loved it. Movies or tv series like (charmed) , I still feel connecting with it, never practicedor anything but found it exciting and powerful, felt connection. About the learning underground with candles it might have been your past life you know also the other one you being priestess. It might just been showing you how powerful you are without you knowing so deep. It just showing how much power you hold ♡ When I think about it , you might be right, and also yes it is much easier to fight it in dream rather than in reality of course. Still scary and fearful but manageable. Protections helping alot now which we learned so I am grateful. Haven't had bad dream or nightmare for some years fortunately so I am grateful. Of course I am not talking to them about it no more 😀 i tried for few years, before I gave up, so when spending time with them as of now, I pretend to be where I was before, because they love how they're. I do grow and evolve and slowly losing the connection I can say that because I feel it, i am not sure if they do , but I do feel losing the connection as we are not on the same path or frequencies and it's not even that painful as I thought. There is certain things which was eyes opening and yeah i don't know. Have my family, children and partner so when I do spend time with my parents and siblings it's just for few hours some of the day when I can, but usually I am trying to focus to get healthy,focus on learning and trying to open all to get back where I was before and more. Which is the harder part 😀 but I love that we have really good people in here which are on the same path and I finally don't feel like crazy person or alone in my mind with everything and it all makes sense in the end so I am grateful to be here, to see , to learn and have people around me finally who understands and have similar experiences ♡

@Alina Iftimescu I love it too, honestly I am so happy that finally we are more open also we should talk more in fcb group like this to open it up more regarding the learning. Anyway I am happy to hear this all :D I really do, that we are all healing together which i find so exciting and it warms my heart. Haha we did that too as kids , but I loved the movies and tv series I tried some rituals too, but it was "silly" on that time was too young. I liked the cemeteries through the days to visit loved ones, but honestly when I walked around cemetery in night ha I don't like it as I can feel the shift in there, it's peaceful through the day, but night time goodness i don't like it 😀 the energy is diffrent, heavy and dark so I didn't liked to walking around in night time 😀 but I totally understand 😀 am glad we all getting closer,in the end it's amazing to have people which are understandable and they know as they felt it or had that expe and also there is no judgement and when we done learning we still can support each others, call each other's for help or anything really to stay connect, because I think that's something we need now to have connections between each of us. As you know what they say. You never know why we would need each other. You know I think all of us had feelings , felt shifts and all when we was kids, but how quickly we grown up, we lost lot of it because of this all. As Olga said, we just remembering what we have already and strengthening our abilities to heal us and help others. Some of the times I was so upset that I am empath and I could feel when something is wrong,knew and know still, but I didn't liked how they dumped it on me all as I didn't know how to clear it after and how to protect myself. I am into it too 😀 and looking into it more 😀

I'll try soon aswell ♡ and will report back when done ♡
