It has been said, but this field is really quite special.
When I first found sapienmed I played it and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t overwhelm me but I didn’t really get anything from it. A few weeks later I was called to give it another go and it felt -I’m not quite sure how to phrase it- like two people that weren’t speaking the same language and were trying to find ways to communicate. Eventually we did and BAM! It was really special! I even have the impression that I can connect to it when thinking about it (when it’s not playing) although this could simply be a Pavlovian reflex of sorts (it makes me feel good so when I think about it I feel good).
To me Shamanic Blend is, of all the fields, like my best friend. I find it’s a warm and soothing blanket. But this feels like my true love hahaha It’s corny, but I don’t know how else to explain. A bit like a relationship with a pet (and I mean that in the most positive way, as I have had extraordinary relationships with animals and learned a lot from them).
After some experimentation (and mistakes that were…interesting) I settled on a suggestion above to hone in on an emotion and to maintain it. I decided on a feeling of confidence and flow of knowing who I truly am. So I remembered times where I felt this way and maintained the emotion. And it was really glorious. The entire day I felt connected and like everything was possible. Truly alive. When fear arose it was easy to observe and know it for what it is.
So I named the field Jini, as it means plasma in Hausa (a Nigerian language) and because it seems a bit like a benevolent genie to me.
I repeated this the following day and it seemed to piggy back on the previous work. However, I started experiencing overwhelm pretty bad. I did grounding but it didn’t help. The following day, even 5 minutes was too much.
I have a theory that it might not be overwhelm per say. I think it lead to changes so quickly that perhaps the part of me that is still afraid had a knee jerk reaction. I don’t know how else to explain that I could tolerate it just fine until those changes occurred. At the moment I am going back to the basics and working on transcending the fears. It’s funny, I miss it!
@uial quoted that it is self-aware, so I thought maybe I could use animal empathy before and try a 5 minute meditation to ask if it can teach me how to use it without the overwhelm. I’d love your thoughts and suggestions!
