You may be mind-sharing without realizing it. To do so with intention is a way to broaden your ways of thinking and deepen your intuition. The following stories are ways I’ve experienced mind-sharing. Plus, the steps for you to experience mind-sharing safely.
Back in the mid-1990s, I traveled to New York once a month to attend Jean Houston’s Mystery School. That first year (1995-96) a young friend, Brian, and I journeyed together. Brian was also a house guest in my home and a soul companion.
Our friendship was carved from two sensitive souls seeking life’s meaning. We were not in relationship, not lovers or dating partners. We were friends of the deepest nature. We could spend hours talking or in silence. And, we often had shared, mystical experiences.
Brian is an artist who sees life visually. I’m a wordsmith, who interprets life through the energy of words, the connotation as well as the denotation. I love to discuss and even debate topics, looking at all the possibilities, and opening to ones I haven’t yet thought of. Brian is more comfortable with the silence; he has to think about words.
As an avid reader and a writer, my learning style preference is read/write although I actually test equally in all four learning styles: read/write, visual, kinesthetic, and oral. Brian is a visual learner.
I thought I understood how Brian’s brain works because when I write a story, I simply watch a movie in my head and interrupt the movie into words. I thought that was enough to understand someone like Brian, who is a strong visual learner. I was wrong. In an experiment we conducted, Brian taught me differently. In the process, I learned how to increase my ability to think visually, a big help when using visualization to manifest an intent.
In the experiment to see if we could help the other understand our unique ways of relating to the world via our learning styles, Brian and I individually held a thought in our minds in our particular learning style. I held a few words; Brian held a picture.
As I began to see the picture Brian was sending, I was amazed at how he learns. He first sees the picture of what someone is saying, and then his brain translates that picture into words that make sense to him. It was a lot like the way I write a story only more complicated. He has to translate the meaning of every word and to make the translation while also listening to the person speaking. The process and the speed at which his mind worked fascinated me. Brian was able to understand the words I sent him without first translating them into pictures, something he had never experienced.
In other instances, this mind sharing, which I’m calling these experiences, happened spontaneously. In another occurrence with Brain, we were on a return flight from Mystery School. We both fell asleep at the same time and woke at the same time. And we both had the same dream . . . with one exception. We both dreamed we were at Mystery School and standing in front of Jean Houston. In Brian’s dream, Jean was telling him to go find me; in my dream, she was telling me to go find him. Other than that, she gave both of us the same information, a download of data about the universe and our part in it.
Brian’s not the only one I’ve had mind-sharing experiences with. Another friend, Allison, and I were at a workshop with Carla Pearson, a shaman and animal communicator. While on a journey to find Sienna, my lost Sheltie, Allison and I saw the exact same vision. Later, we found the four-legged kid exactly where the two of us had envisioned her. At the time of the vision, neither Allison nor I knew the intent of the other one’s journey. The journey took us to where the journey took us, which was where we both needed to go. Since then, we have often journeyed together to find a lost animal. We may not have the same vision, but each receive pieces that fit together.
When I held my own year-long mystery school here in Ohio, participants and I would meet in the energy every Tuesday night. The next time we gathered together for our monthly meeting, one of the participants asked me where I had been last Tuesday. She said she came to the center (in the energy, not in physical reality) and I wasn’t there. She had to go looking for me. That night I had fallen asleep early without reminding my sleeping self to check in with the group. I dreamed that Vicki came to get me. Boy, did I get caught or what!
These are only a few of the many examples of mind sharing I’ve had over the years. I share these experiences with you because you too can have them. They are available through the intuitive energy. To experience another person’s learning style—
- Always work together in love.
- Be open to being a receiver.
- Say a prayer of protection to your divine source.
- State your intent to receive information via the other person’s learning style.
- Meditate together.
- Receive.
- Discuss what you experienced.
Spontaneous mind sharing happens all the time. We’re often not aware of it because we’re so used to it. Spouses often finish each other’s sentences. Parents know when their kids are calling before the phone rings. Best friends know if the other is in need of a pick-me-up call.
Mind-sharing is simply using your intuition whether in an experiment or when it happens spontaneously.
