Alison Neville, Psychic Intuitive

 I have known Ali since 2008.  I came to know her as a result of my awakening and my subsequent membership in an online forum having to do with the concept of the twinsoul and soulmate.  We struck up a conversation at a time when I had questions, a time when I was beginning to question what was being said about the phenomenon or "twins" as well as the subject of awakening (which is often couched hand-in-glove with one another). I realized in our talks that I had found someone who had been teasing out th light from the noise for years and was brave enough to go her own way when her conclusions differed from the crowd.  In many ways the subject of the twinsoul or soulmate or twinray is itself a crowd of people who have shoe-horned a feeling into a narrative that, while it seems to make a kind of sense because of how the experience feels, has always struck me as not being the full story.  This became the backdrop against which her and my conversations began. In truth, she saved my life at a critical time when I very much needed someone who could help me show me the way ahead.  It was interesting because instead of being someone who just told me the way it was, it was more like she was telling me what I had been trying to formulate myself straight out of intuition.  As a result, this gave my conversations with her a ring of authenticity.....which is to say not a false sense of the authentic, but the true-blue stuff.  That information has held up well over the years.  It stood in contrast to what everyone else was saying about the connections that are forged in such circumstances, but it also served to reveal the potential that humans have for self-transformation if we can get out of our own way. 

 

In most cases, the "twin" winds up being a barrier to full self realization because of how the connection is being fueled by karma.  It is hard to imagine that something so incredible and powerful could be catalyzed by karma, but once traced back, you can see for yourself that it is true.  I will be the first to admit that the bulk of the experience with twins appears to be something that it is not. The reason for this is that for the most part the really powerful karma for humans at this stage in our development has been negative.  Now, bear in mind that the universe is neutral.  It operates according to some very basic laws and one of those is that karma will create chemistry.  It will draw people who have interacted and gotten entanglements in the past (and future) together.  It is a law of attraction.  However, the universe does not judge or decide one connection over another....it just creates the chemistry to power a super incredible connection.  That being said, it probably means that you could have a "twin" who killed you in a past life.  In fact, it may actually be the case that you and your twin were involved in this kind of thing over and over for a lifetime or two.  Now, the past seemingly far from your conscious view, you now have this powerful draw to them, and you just don't know why.  But if you are really honest with yourself, you might begin to find the architecture of your past encounters with this person present in your heart and mind, albeit a bit disjointed in some ways.  Maybe "incomplete" would be a better word here. However, you may find yourself feeling anxiety or even fear around this person at times, and for no known reason. There is a charge present that the person may find hard to know what to do with.  This charge, absent knowing, is used to fuel a strong connection with the other person who was involved.  I will be the first to admit that digging this deep into these connections results in some disillusionment.  This was what we did and I found that I was able to drive my awakening to another level.  I also was able to accelerate the releases that were taking place slowly so that I could remove a lifetime of stored emotion from the body.  This was the stuff of what we were involved in.  We talked about how mind and matter align when used in the right way, how to heal, how to let go of old stories, and how to be the best you that you could be.  

Alison is an amazing type of psychic who is called an intuitive.  I saw her abilities early on in our conversations when she would be reading me as we spoke. Given the time I have known her, I can say that she knew things about me that I had not yet come to know, such as the nature of relationships of people who I knew well but she did not.  I had a number of instances where the things that she described that sounded completely off-base to me at the time (I just didn't know what she knew) that wound up being just as she had told me.  These were intricate, detailed, and specific things about my life and the people around me.  She, at this time, didn't know me from Adam.  How could she be so accurate?  

Over the years she has been able to assist me with releasing stored emotional energy in my energy field.  For some, I know that this idea will sound odd, perhaps counter-intuitive.  However, what we are now learning is what the ancients have known for centuries which is that the "body thinks."  I would take it one step further and say that it also feels. To explain what I mean you only need to observe a discovery that has been made recently in biology, which is that researchers have found neurons scattered throughout the body.  Neurons were normally thought to be those cell structures specific to the brain.  To put this into perspective, the human gut has as many neurons as the brain of the average house cat.  Now, pray tell me, what is your gut doing with that much processing power?  What does your gut tell you?  It doesn't stop there, though.  In the heart, there is an astounding number of these neurons.  It has recently been discovered that the heart sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart.  Electrical signals equals information, so this is completely opposite from what we had expected.  I think this helps to begin to point out that the body is indeed a repository for thought and feeling.  What is interesting here is also the reality that humans are the only mammal that does not have a way to release stored trauma.  All other mammals exhibit this capacity through an instinctive reaction to trauma by way of intense bodily shaking.  This was discovered by an animal behaviorist who saw that animals that were attacked in the wild by large prey animals but who survived, all would go through a shaking fit.  He found that when he induced shaking in humans, it gave them relief from PTSD (he worked with veterans from the Iraq war). 

As a result of this tendency that humans have for storing our old baggage is we have become one heck of a neurotic species!  I really mean it.  We go about our day, holding it all in, not fully realizing how we are holding it all in and after mid-life we turn 'round and feel like we are about to explode.  Is this any way to live?  No, no it isn't.  

What is so interesting is that the force of kundalini, which is at its root an energetic event and phenomenon linked directly to prana or qi, is that its presence is know to release these blocks.  For me, my journey became one of feeling these blocks fall away and the relief that it brought (albeit block by block, link by link, yard by yard). I was able to benefit from what a kundalini awakening had on offer. It was also interesting to me that I saw that the stimulation of kundalini was based in my removing a key block from my field of awareness. This has been one very big hint about how to bring on kundalini that most of the teachings (maybe all of them) do not address.  Anyway, there you have it; clear yourself of enough material and it will be easier to awaken. This subject is covered throughout this blog. My last post before this one is on the architecture of the energy body and how and where emotion can get stuck in the meridians.  In my last healing session with Ali she dug into the three points in my hip which was where I had a very stubborn series of blocks which she released inside of an hour. Boom.  Years of angst and upset stored in my body and nearly all of it was just gone.  Poof.  And the path through it?  A process of allowing the stored energy to express or in some way move so that it can begin to move out of the position that it had been in for decades.  There was a correlation with the psoas muscle in the hip/back area and the L line that goes up the right side of my body up into the shoulder where it does this little shift where that energy goes out through the arm and fingers.  What she did was like clearing out an old clogged garden hose so it could flow more freely. In flowing more freely it meant that there was less turbulence.  Energy was calmer, it flowed, it did not become disruptive.  The truth is, we can get used to the energy being disruptive.  It becomes the devil that we know.  Poof. Gone.  She did that. 

She does it in person, she does it over the phone, it doesn't really matter for her. She can deal with one person or a group.  She works with corporations, NFL coaches, heads of large well-known companies.  She worked with TED for a time on their board.  She helps ordinary people like you and me learn how to anchor a better existence. 

So a few weeks ago I went to visit her to help her with some marketing materials.  She had helped me so much it was time to return the favor.  We swam in the Pacific ocean off the coast of Santa Catalina Island and I filmed  her and the ocean, which she loves so much.  I was able to put together a video for her which she will be using to help her get the word out about her gift and her services which she has been providing to people for decades now.  She is the best kept secret that I know of!  

I would be remiss if I didn't provide you with a way to get in touch with her.  You can find her on Facebook under Alison Neville.  Also, you can find her website at https://alisonneville.com.  If you would like to set up a session with Ali I am happy to give you her direct line, just leave me a message with a way to contact you and I will be happy to do so.  This video that I am posting is on her Youtube channel, which is under her name (I had no trouble finding it). 

If you have a challenge, it really doesn't matter what it is because Ali will be able to read it.  Her gift also comes with a way to solve the problem that is tailored to the person.  It's just that crazy amazing.  All you need is to have a set of questions about the things that hang you up the most or that give you the most trouble in your life.  Then watch her go to work.  When she says that she works in miracles, she isn't kidding.  Give her a try,  she will not disappoint!

Energy Awereness & Leg Chakras

When we discuss the concept of chakras, most everyone who knows about them will conjure the image of seven chakras with differently-petalled flowers, all with colors that run through the rainbow hues from red into brilliant white, going from root to crown. 

This is a popular image, but for someone who wants to dig down deeper into what this is about, this popularly held awareness of the seven-chakras is just scratching the surface.  The human body has thousands of chakras. The seven major chakras has persisted so well because they are the easiest to identify right out of the gate.  You might think that each of these seven major chakras might be characterized by the colors they are most often associated with.  There is so much more than this. Some of it you can learn from what has been gathered by seers from the past, but all of this information is also available to you directly through your own inner perception.  Everything that we know about the subtle energy system has been gathered from the inner sensing capabilities of those who have gone before us. 

Through my years of studying energy that we each have this ability in a very native way.  Most people, though, do not know how to bridge the gap between the realm of the outer senses (the physical senses) to touch on the awareness that exists within the sensing ability of the energy body. But really, you can.  I have been witness to numerous people who didn’t think energy as being a real “thing” that a person could see or detect in any sensory way, but I have been lucky to have had an odd habit of having people develop this ability while I am doing a reading of them or others.   

This characteristic of energy means that a wave thus has no mass, and, is a channel for travel through time.

The energy body is made up of over 70,000 channels called by the Hindu as nadi. Some say that they are beyond numbering.   In the Chinese tradition they are called meridians.  There are no chakras conceived in the Chinese tradition.  The reason for this is because the science of acupuncture and acupressure does not affect the chakra centers directly, and because they do not, they have not become part of the Chinese system.  Chakras are the result of an accumulation of forces in a type of vortex, which in the old language was called a spinning “disc.” When each of these nadi cross each other, a chakra exists. 

The number of branches in the nadis means that there are many thousands of chakras in the body.  These are not unlike how capillaries in the body join to make veins and veins join to make larger trunks called aorta.  As the channels join into more channels, the force builds and larger more obvious chakras exist.  Because this system is not made up of dense matter but energy, what governs them is energetic.  As a result, each chakra, every nadi or meridian will have its positive and negative compliment.  Every chakra is thus double-lobed in a sense, of positive and negative energy flow.  In the same way that a magnet has a polarity, so too does prana have a polarity, which is what flows through the nadi channels.  Those who were able to detect these channels and the chakras mapped them carefully so that we have very dependable locations mapped for identifying acupuncture points, for example.  When the mind is clear enough and you can focus on the energy centers, you too can detect these.  To do this requires an openness to detecting prana flow and then an ability to translate this information into some visual form in order to make sense of it.  When it happens it can seem like you are making it up, or imagining it, or grasping for something that you can’t quite see, with images forming in the mind.  This is the cognitive bridge that happens when you use the inner senses.  It is possible, too, that others will experience the process differently.  As westerners who are informed by a materialistic view (everything happens because of physical matter), it is easy for some people to tend not to trust themselves.  If you will relax, chill, and open up to the notion of your innermost capacities you can discover what you are indeed capable of.  If you haven’t caught on yet, I am keen on people being able and willing to inquire for themselves. 

The energy that flows through the whole entire body, while following these paths called nadi are also  made up of energy that is electromagnetic in nature, which means it is not merely a particle-based energy form, but a waveform.

The body is thus made up of a complex web-work of prana that is fed by lines of force.  When viewed with the inner senses, which is how all seers have detected them, they can look like extremely fine webs like spider webs that go all the way down to the atomic level.  Lines of force will at the deepest, most fundamental level go from lines to a kind of mist or “fog” at the lowest subatomic level. This is just how deep all of this goes.  

This system feeds from the extremities and concentrates along the trunk of the body where there are three main vessels or channels for carrying different aspects of alignments of the energy.  One is called Ida, which is thought of as lunar or feminine and resides along the left side of the body, with the Pengali (or Pengala) channel, that is thought of as solar and male, which is on the right side of the torso, but closely tracking, in parallel, to  the spinal column. The central channel, which is very close to the spinal column is known as Shushumna.  This third channel carries an energy that is felt as the sum of the Ida and Pengali channels. Being aware of the energy flowing in this channel leads to Cosmic Consciousness. These channels all branch out throughout the body in a flow of negative and positively charged lines of force. 

Working with clearing these channels is most often done through the yoga of pranayam which involves body movement meant to "massage" these blocked nadi while also using breathing to help to move the prana. Other methods include Qigong, which means "energy work." It is possible also to release blocks with such therapies as deep tissue massage, reiki, and polarity massage, to name a few. Alternating nostril breathing helps to charge and awaken the Ida and Pengali channels in the body, and is an important first step in clearing the nadis.

it is just as important to stimulate and accelerate the flow of these channels as it is to be able to slow them down.  Sometimes by clearing one center higher up in the body, for example, you may need to go back to "lower" chakras in order to clear "new" blocks that seem to emerge, blocks that have always been there but whose presence were blocked in your awareness until another center was cleared.  The clearing of the nadi is, as a result, a dynamic process that has many feedbacks that are the result of one "leg" of work revealing new aspects that had been previously not known or detected.  Like the uncovering of a layer, the new layers come more into focus.  What worked at one point in the process may need a different method or technique in the next.  While sitting and focusing on an energy center may have worked extremely well in the beginning might not work later on where, for example, more aggressive physical movement is required.  What is so helpful is that the energy of prana is itself an intelligent energy and when you can feel its flow in greater amounts, its intelligence has had a tendency to reveal itself to me more clearly.  As a result, by opening myself up to the wisdom in this finely tuned energy, I find my own intuition increased.  You find that you have a teacher within, you see. 

 As a waveform, this means that the energy has what is called nonlocality.

The energy that flows through the whole entire body, while following these paths called nadi also is made up of energy that is electromagnetic in nature, which means it is not merely a particle-based energy form, but a waveform.  As a waveform, this means that the energy has what is called nonlocality.  Nonlocality is hard to comprehend for those who are used to thinking of everything as being made up discreet particles, pieces, and lines of force through which energy particles flow.  Nonlocality is the gift of the nonphysical in a sense, a characteristic of energy whereby particles can emerge seemingly from “nowhere” and everywhere at once.  This means that prana can reach out across vast distances without any travel. This characteristic of energy means that a wave thus has no mass, and, is a channel for travel through time.  Let those who have the ears to hear, hear this!

I know that this might seem to be off the topic a little, but bear with me.  The energy of the wave cannot be controlled by the rational part of your mind.  This also means that for the average person, they rarely, if ever, experience what this “state” of energy is all about because we are all so focused in the linear and the rational. This is itself a central teaching and a discovery that I made in the midst of working through my own awakening and in developing and honing my new sensory awareness that was inherited through the awakening process.  I know it may seem exotic or strange to some, but this is only because it is a larger than normal leap that happens and is a normal facet of awakening (to make leaps instead individual steps). If you are a creative and deductive thinker, you can figure out how to harness this awareness in a way that is meaningful and fulfilling in your own journey of understanding this seemingly “hidden” dimension of our experience. 

So in this vein, I will tell you that In order to support the waveform as an energy that carries your awareness, you must learn how to be in alignment with the different polarities that exists within the energy and how these also correspond to aspects of your own awareness.  This requires moving out of the rational and linear part of your mind and awareness. One hint I will give you is that instead of an analytical state of mind that needs to figure it out,” this is instead the part of you that instead considers a more expansive sense of your being.  Some examples of how this feels is how you become open to new ideas or possibilities.  The excitement of beginning a road trip that has no agenda, just the pure enjoyment of discovery, is one such state that is very similar to this mode of awareness.  It is much more aligned to feeling than analysis, you see, and is one reason why it is missed by many who seek. The fact is, you have it all in you.  We are all beings of amazing potential who are often barely aware of it!

 In another post I would like  to share with you how to anchor or to cultivate this mind and body focus if you are interested. Explaining how this is done in a more complete way is beyond the scope of this article, though.

While the energy body has a positive and negative polarity all through it, these two polarities also align along certain parts of your awareness. Are you familiar with how some anatomists say that thought is partly determined by how our physiology is constructed? The same idea is applicable to the energetic system. The yang or positive polarity tends to align with the rational parts of the mind where the yin aligns more with the holistic right brain. Kundalini is often described as the "kundalini shakti" which points to the shift from one current of awareness to another.  In truth, BOTH currents of the "Shakti" and "Shiva" must be present as they are aspects of each other, not mutually exclusive (remember the particle/wave duality I was telling you about? This is the same; one does not create the other or flows out of the other-they exist concurrently as part of their broader nature).

The earthly ego-mind and the linear parts of the brain that give rise to it cannot handle the scope that the nondual mind offers, and this is, coincidentally, where the infamous Dark Night Of The Soul enters in along the journey of awakening. By learning how to strike a balance between these two in a new arrangement or focus, the self can allow for a better flow of prana and awareness within experience. This is usually more important when the charged force of awakening is churning in the self. On a boat that encounters only mild winds, tuning the sail perfectly to capture the wind  might not seem to be as important to the captain.  But on a boat where the winds are often extremely strong, how the sails are hoisted can be much more critical and their role more obvious. It is the awareness of the self that can lead you to understanding what this energy is all about through inner inquiry, which is how all of these discoveries have been made. Without this inquiry, you are merely taking it on another person’s word that what they say is so, without determining for yourself. As a result, most people are not aware that there are countless chakras. By being aware, you see, you can learn to feel their location and know character.

Take for example the ear chakra.  Most people have never heard of this.  It is certainly not even written about anywhere that I can find.  And yet I and my friend Ali have both experienced these ear chakra activations.  What is most interesting is that as a male, I experience the ear chakra openings as a cool “lunar” energy while Ali, who is female, experiences it as a warm yang energy.  This lead me to the next consideration about chakras and how they are experienced in the body, which has to do with overall alignment to masculine and feminine energy, or yang and yin force. 

The male lingam, or genitalia, is normally polarized in the positive while the female yoni, or genitalia is normally polarized in the negative.  The heart of the male, however, is the opposite from the root. The female heart is also polarized in the positive.  This, in heterosexual couples means that in sexual intimacy, the masculine energy is “received” and transmitted upwards into the heart of the woman, which then transmits the energy back to the man. This is what I call the “short cycle” flow.  The energy in fact can be experienced as flowing beyond the heart up into the crown, which is itself another level based on how the chakras are active and how aware you are of them.  At each center, the energies continue to change vibration as prana expressed through desire, is focused in the body of both people, both probing, and receiving all at the same time.  The heart center of the feminine is initiatory while the root chakra of the male is initiatory.  This short cycle flow circuitry is thus complimentary. Because of their complimentary polarities, spiritual union is possible.  In a similar way as how two merge energetically, each individual has fully merged energy that flows from one polarity within each chakra into the other.  Thus, union also exists within each individual, or the potential of its awareness.  Not everyone is aware of this, but becoming aware of it leads to increasingly higher levels of bliss.  This bliss is a healing force.

Having brought this up, let me explain that while I am speaking in terms of heterosexual couples, there is another level of understanding about this energy that takes in other orientations, so don’t think that my words are in any way exclusive to heterosexual experience.  At all.  Prana is like a very large tent that is like the sky.  It is big enough to let us all in to experience its reality  in a myriad of ways.  I think that a book on LGBT sexuality from a tantric perspective is just waiting to be written. 

When prana is at a high enough level, it is called kundalini. But kundalini itself is only prana in excess.  This is all.  A new threshold is met whereby a self-sustaining “fire” is maintained that is both yang and yin in the individual.  The two polarities are experienced, and thus known, more keenly and this has a powerful effect on the awareness of the individual because of the flow of prana which can confer even greater awareness when one avails themselves of it.

Leg & Arm Chakras

Each leg of the physical body also has chakras and the two currents that flow up the main trunk of the body.  Each toe has the same two currents as do the arms and fingers  and the trunk of the body, with much smaller chakra centers in each.  Because they are so small in appendages like toes and fingers, most do not detect their presence. To detect them requires a focus most often in meditation. The male genitalia and the female breast also have similar lines of force and chakras throughout them.  This is one reason why the hands are so often used for healing as there are terminal points akin to the top of the head where the energy flows from positive to negative, what is often referred to as “zero point.” It is here at this place in the energy that anything can happen.  Similarly the male genitalia has many hundreds of “points” that correspond to points in the female genitalia. In the male these are positive and negative and in the female they are positive and negative as well. Each polarity allows for a continuity of energy in the same way that an electrical circuit is made.  This is the path for higher union spiritually.  The clearer each center is, the broader the experience of this union is.  But having said this, even the skin has a vast network of energy points all across it. Think of every single pore on your skin as being an energy point that is joined to all other points along the surface of the body.  In the same way that the skin is criss-crossed with a vast network of nerves to tell the brain what is happening at that surface, so too does the physical sensory have a nonphysical sensory component.  One flows out of the other and thus each can take information from both to input into their respective sensory system. It is pretty amazing when you think of it. 

In the Hindu system, the chakras in the legs are seen as  both negatively and positively charged centers. That is, they are referred to in a negative and positive light as corresponding to our more animal natures, and are said to belong to the “underworld.” These centers are just like all other centers.  They are neither positive or negative but depend on the emotional, physical, and spiritual energy that have been invested or cast into them.  In the same way that a sacral chakra can convey a lack of good self image and a lack of sensual beauty, so too can the same center be magnetized in the opposite direction. This is so with every single center in the body. 

While you are probably familiar with the Muladhara, Swadhishthana, and Manipura chakras, for example, the chakras in the legs have also been  named. The Patala, located in the soles of the feet, is said to be aligned with malice and hatred as well as forgiveness.  The Mahatala is located more centrally in the foot near the arch and is aligned with a sense of entitlement and lack of conscience as well as expansiveness.  The Rasatala is located in the ankles and is aligned with selfishness and charity, while the Talatala is located in the calves and is aligned with a materialism for the self and an awareness of being conscious.  Sutala is in the knees and is aligned to inadequacy, inferiority, but also self-confidence. Vitala in the thighs aligns with blind wrath while also aligned to forgiveness.  Atala in the hips is aligned to lustful promiscuity and the ability to be healthily sexual. 

The way that each of these centers are charged by your awareness and your feeling, will determine your experience through them.  As with all chakras and the nadi system, blockages can occur in them and removing these blocks is important in freeing the old perception of the self in order to open up to a new awareness of who and what we are. The work of release is the same as with any other part of the body.  There are numerous methods and they can all work for a variety of reasons.  There are posts on the blog that are about these different methods.  Search using tags like “healing blocks”
