I love having new experiences so when Vishen said “You’re going to learn how to bend spoons...with your mind.” I was all in!
I didn’t get to listen to the live call but committed to listening to the 3 hour recording on New Years Eve. After all, in a COVID year of no gathering and physical connections to other humans, it felt right for me to usher in 2021 being connected to the universe and influencing matter with my mind. At least, that was my intention.
Ok, so fast forward to the guides at Monroe Institute providing the instruction to bend the spoon - in my case a fork…and NOTHING. I couldn’t do it.
That damn fork didn’t even bend a little.
What frustrated me the most was all of the comments the guides were making about how other MV members had done this throughout the 3 hour experience like it was nothing.
What the hell? Why could others do this so easily and I could not? Tears started flowing, so at the stroke of midnight NYE - crying and disappointed…I decided to go to sleep.
Turns out, I needed the catharsis.
One of the key ideas that I didn’t quite implement on NYE was the idea of letting go. I didn’t know what that looked like…I was holding onto the expectation…my need to control the situation to bend that damn fork, that I didn’t make room for the universe to rise up to meet me.
Heres the “ah-ha”, tribe: Allowing is the key.
But what does it look like to “allow”? Apparently, it’s different for everyone. However, I wanted to share my experience as it might help another MV Pro tribe member who also couldn’t bend that day.
I woke up with puffy eyes but a renewed sense of purpose and determination. I was going to bend that fork.
I listened to the last 30 minutes of the recording again but made the decision to “let go”.
However, for me it felt more like stepping aside and inviting the universe in. This time, as I connected to the source, I felt the energy coursing through my body to the point that I had goosebumps on my skin. Like electricity flowing through me.
Then, when it was time to let go, I just stopped the electric flow by doing a couple of deep breaths and literally said out loud “Your turn, I’ll wait”. In about 1 min, I felt the energy flowing again on its own, my goosebumps came back, but it was not me making it happen. I figured it was a signal to me that the fork was ready to be bent and it did! I did it twice just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke.
