The board has been rather slow recently so I thought I would share this.

Every once in a while I feel the need to question who I am. My spirit is disturbed and I unconsciously motivate myself to consciously ask who I am. Sometimes out loud and sometimes only in my head. It generally has an overall grounding affect. Nothing dramatic but it helps to center me spiritually and slow me down mentally(reduce the stress engine). I only do this when I feel the inner need.
I felt the need for this the other day. I was asking myself the question of who I am. My third eye was roaming over the aspects of myself. My outward attibutes/inabilities. My behaviors and intentions. Looking at the many things that make up me. Seeing imagery of what these aspects were.
Only this time after a bit of psychic introspection, my third eye suddenly reversed direction. Instead of looking at the things I do/say/think/act, it turned and I saw my spinal column. It was like when I had the vision of what was going to happen for orthodontics. It was like an x-ray. I could see parts of my physiology but standing out dramatically was what looked like my spinal column. It was shiny and bright. I didn't see this image very long (I was driving down the highway so dividing my attention wasn't good for very long) but it looked either like polished steel or a bright pearly color. I got the feeling of strength. And suddenly the image went away and I was fully conscious but where my consciousness was sitting was farther back in my skull. Before I began the questioning of who I was my consciousness was fuzzy and sitting closer to where my eyes are but after I had the image of my spine it shifted back to about where the top of my spine is and my consciousness was clear and focused.
That never happened before. I've done mental and spiritual excersizes that had shifted the position of my consciousness to about the same spot but it never happened like that before.

I'm still puzzling somewhat on how and why that happened. I have no doubt it was information from my higher self to my lower self, but I'm not sure what the image meant. I got the feeling of strength but that bright polished look of pearls or steel,.... (shrug).

Hey Nakis,

I've been questioning some things about myself lately also. I'm no expert by any means, but I would venture to guess that this vision of your spinal column did indeed represent your inner strength and perhaps the need to stand upright when the world around you doesn't.

It certainly had to be a thought provoking experience!

Wow, Nakis! That really did have to be an interesting experience! I have to agree with Carrie -- and was thinking along similar lines before I read her response -- that it probably does represent your inner strength. We've all heard "spineless", referring to people whom we don't think are strong, etc. I think this was telling you that you are strong - mentally & physically! =)

Steel=strong, pearly=beautiful. Just another way to get the message across.

P.S. I just checked the Aura Colors & Meanings[/URL] page (that is sticky-pinned to the top of this forum). You should have a look and best determine the color(s) you saw; it may help in deciphering..

Hmm. Mentally strong. I'm not so sure. I keep missing the sticky-pinned posts. Duuuhh.

I don't know maybe I missed something. I don't feel particularly strong or mentally strong. Mental maybe. I agree with what you guys posted as that is what I felt it was trying to get across or just what I could see, but I just don't feel that way.

Thanks for the responses and the reminder about the sticky-pin. I think the silver color may cover it best. What I saw was clear, clean, shiny but it wasn't like reflective so maybe it wasn't 'bright'. Though it was metallic of sorts.

Thanks.

You're welcome, Nakis. I agreed with the silver color explanation too, but didn't want to skew anything by saying so in my post -- because you know best what you saw. =) As with dreams, I think we also have to determine what our visions mean to us.

I do want to say that I think you are a much stronger person than you give yourself credit for. Indeed, we all have our 'down periods' and they can last longer than we'd like... and we're our own worst critic. But I've known you for quite some time now and I really do believe in your strength of spirit.

Hugs,
Kell
