Reflections In Consciousness is a monthly meetup for members where Aingeal Rose & Ahonu discuss, share, teach, and reflect on all aspects of consciousness and spiritual growth. Below is an example of the type of discussions that take place in these meetups.
In the January 12th, 2025 session of Reflections In Consciousness, Aingeal Rose & Ahonu spoke of how mindfulness and focusing on the present moment can offer a sanctuary from perpetual overwhelm.
The Critical Need for Reflections In Consciousness
In today's fast-paced world, it is all too easy to become overwhelmed by the constant bombardment of information and stressors. Aingeal Rose opened the discussion by emphasizing the critical need to focus on the present moment as a way to achieve peace. She reflected on how children handle conflicts independently. This method aligns with adopting a problem-solution approach rather than punishment—an approach that encourages individuals to bring solutions alongside their problems.
The Perils of Projecting Negativity
Tracia shared insights on projecting fear and negativity into the future. Many people believe they are preparing or helping by identifying potential threats, but instead, they engender fear. This habitual projection stems from past fears and creates a cyclical pattern of negative energy that affects consciousness, individual peace and collective energy.
Unlocking Creative Power in the Present
Kim introduced the concept of ‘event stream’ to underscore the importance of scheduled stillness. By practicing mindfulness or stillness, we tap into the true essence of the present—the only reality that holds truth. Tracia echoed this sentiment, pointing out that our memories and perceptions of the past are often subjective and vary greatly among individuals.
Meditation: A Gateway to Collective Peace
The centerpiece of our meeting was a guided meditation exercise that brought participants into a deep meditative state of pure consciousness. For Tracia, this exercise resulted in profound rest and dismissal of intrusive thoughts. Kim used the Japanese Moshu method, which led her to peaceful imagery and emotional release—reinforcing meditation's role in fostering personal peace. Ahonu used his Transcendental Meditation technique, while others just fell ito the silence and loved the exercise.
Diverse Experiences of Pure Consciousness
Participants shared diverse experiences during the meditation, highlighting both uniqueness and commonality in their journeys. Margaret drifted into dream-like scenarios while dealing with physical distractions; Tracia found beauty in nature's gentle day energy; Kim encountered angelic imagery adding depth to her peaceful state. These varied experiences attest to meditation's subjective nature—a point reinforced by Margaret’s example comparing differing eyewitness accounts.
Adapting Daily Practices for Long-Term Benefits
Aingeal Rose expressed a desire for making meditative practices daily habits, believing even 15 minutes could yield significant benefits. Kim introduced Kaizen, emphasizing the power of small daily improvements. Tracia recommended embracing ‘No Mind’ during nature hikes—a practice supported by Vernon Turner's "Soul Sword."
Conclusion of this Reflections In Consciousness session
Engaging in mindful living impacts both the individual and our collective well-being. In this Reflections In Consciousness session, Aingeal Rose & Ahonu emphasized present-moment awareness and how it helps transcend future-projected negativity while small daily habits foster overall improvement.
