Exploring Our Evolving Awareness
A warm hello! As a QHHT® practitioner, working with people in an expanded state of awareness gives the privilege of witnessing firsthand the remarkable shift unfolding within human consciousness. As a collective, we are understanding and becoming more aware of the deeper and greater aspects of ourselves, as the perceived boundaries between our conscious and higher minds are merging. This awakening is reshaping how humanity experiences itself and reality as we know it. As someone who is on the path of self~discovery, I feel this an invitation to briefly explore how this new era is unfolding.
Understanding Previous Programming of Consciousness
In previous eras, humanity has often found itself under a mindset of separation where wisdom, morality, authority and truth have been perceived to exist outside of ourselves. Generations have relied upon external systems and structures for direction and divine connection, replacing internal moral guidance, self trust and agency. This 'programming of separation' reflects a deeply ingrained, often subconscious belief that we are isolated beings, separate from Creator or Source and from one another. In subscribing to such programming, many have been left with an overriding sense of vulnerability, disconnection and disempowered.
Albert Einstein described this human experience of separation as an illusion of consciousness that is ultimately limiting and the goal is to realise our interconnection with the greater whole.
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness." ~ Albert Einstein
Moving beyond Previous Constructs
"We are here to awaken from the illusion of separateness." ~ Ram Dass
And awakening we are! Many mystics and indigenous cultures of the world tell us that our sense of being separate to the greater is a profound misperception. It's been well observed that an important aspect of our evolving awareness is recognising or remembering the illusion of this disconnection and that we are more than our physical bodies and are eternally connected to all.
Eckhart Tolle describes this current shift in consciousness as an essential, ongoing evolution from ego~driven, thought~based living, to a state of presence and awakened awareness. This shift involves moving away from identification with the mind, fear and conflict towards a collective awakening where people realise their true nature beyond form.
“Collective human consciousness and life on our planet are intrinsically connected. 'A new heaven' is the emergence of a transformed state of human consciousness and 'a new earth' is its reflection in the physical realm.” ~ Eckhart Tolle.
Rumi suggests that we often exhaust ourselves with problems that only exist because of the rigid separation that is not fundamentally real. Rumi invites us to dissolve the ego, change our perception and recognise the underlying unity that already connects us. He infers that the barriers, conflicts and separations we perceive between ourselves and others or between ourselves and the divine are artificial and mental constructs as he wrote:
"Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?"~ Rumi
Discovering the Spiritual Path
As a collective, we are gaining greater awareness of our inner world and recognising how it directs our outer world. As we awaken to our spiritual nature, people often seek a deeper connection with the universe, exploring diverse spiritual practices and philosophies. This spiritual exploration allows individuals to transcend conventional belief systems, embrace a more expansive understanding of reality and cultivate a sense of unity and interconnectedness. This new state of awareness is exactly where we are designed to be. Below are some practical offerings of support as we move with the energetic shift.
Do your inner work
Take accountability, along with the time & courage to heal wounds from life experiences & programming, working to remove obstacles that seperate you from your Higher Self/ Creator.
Seek Community & Teachers
You are not alone on this journey. Engage with like~minded peoples, groups or mentors to deepen your understanding and to share your path.
Create Stillness
Make time for quiet reflection & thought ~ there is much to contemplate. Listen to your inner voice and knowing.
Explore Supportive Practices
There are many accessible modalities dedicated to supporting people on this journey. Consider meditation, Reiki, Akashic readings or QHHT as bridges to your Higher Self & inner world.
Trust your Inner Guidance
The wisdom & healing you seek is already within you. External modalities are a wonderful way to compliment your journey, but the true power lies with your trust & connection to your Higher Self.
Be Open & Patient with your Process
Your journey is unique, trust that you are exactly where you need to be on this profound path of awakening. Stay curious, follow your heart & see where it leads you.
How the shift is showing in QHHT sessions
As previously mentioned, QHHT practitioners have the unique opportunity of observing firsthand this remarkable shift unfolding within human consciousness. When Dolores Cannon founded QHHT in the 1960's, clients mostly entered a deep state of trance (the Somnambulistic state), where they would have no memory of their session and relied upon recordings to understand the process & healing that took place. This process of 'going under' was a way of bypassing the analytical mind so the Higher Self could come forth.
Now that the veil between our conscious mind and higher awareness has thinned, we are awakening to wisdom instead of falling asleep to access it. We are seeing this in our QHHT session with many clients remaining more aware and conscious, not needing to be in a deep trace to access their Higher Self. In becoming more conscious, it's teaching people that they can access this higher awareness on their own, even when they are fully awake ~ which is an empowering lesson to move forward in life with. As fellow practitioner Lori Lines explains, QHHT is not about going deeper into trance, It’s about going deeper into trust.
"We are no longer the same collective we were ten or even five years ago. Humanity has already ascended energetically ~ meaning, our Higher Selves are no longer 'out there' somewhere in another dimension waiting to be accessed. They are embodied within us now".
~ Lori Lines Level 3 QHHT practitioner
Welcoming the Path Forward
We are living in remarkable times where the Higher Self is increasingly present in our daily lives. We need not rely on external systems or altered states to reach universal wisdoms and truth, as we are embodying them. By awakening to this evolving awareness, we open the door to a richer, more meaningful and self guided life. It is a process of unfolding, where each insight brings us towards a deeper connection within and closer to wholeness. May we move forward together in recognition that we are interconnected eternal beings inherent with divinity.
With love,
