Karen sent the information for the day's call and included a photo of herself. When we connected to the call, she explained that body scanning is challenging because the animal can't give us feedback. When scanning for general essence, favorite things, and other topics, the person most connected with the animal can give descriptive feedback. When dealing with body scanning, the feedback isn't able to be verified from an animal, so working with people is the preferred learning method.
Karen explained several different methods of body scanning, and encouraged us to experiment to find our own "easiest" technique. She suggested working with the photo, and using "soft eyes" to scan the image to see if we could detect any energetic discrepancies. Another option was to use our hands to run over the animal (physically, if you are with the animal, or using imagery if the animal is in another place) to sense changes in energy, hot spots, or blocks. The last option was to "climb into" the body, and use our own body to sense feelings, energy, heat, and possibly pain, to sense what the animal is experiencing.
We began the session the same as we always do, with a meditation to get grounded and connected, as well as to identify anything in our own bodies that could interfere with receiving information. Once the meditation was finished, I began to scan, trying to place my body within the image of hers and feel any sensations that I could. I felt slightly nauseous, and a little light headed, but couldn't identify anything more than that.
Karen filled the class in after we all gave our descriptions. She did say she was a bit dizzy and not feeling well. She was not working at 100% and was feeling a little fuzzy. She explained she gets frequent headaches, and wears reading glasses. She's been a little stuffy with some sinus issues, and has been seeing an ENT to help diagnose that. She explained she probably should be taking her thyroid supplements, but hasn't been. Her shoulders and back were a little tight from traveling and hauling her suitcase. She feels there is a hip or leg issue on her left side, but isn't sure of what it might be at this time. She has also been dealing with grief issues, and has been doing a lot of transformational clearing work in the past couple of years.
Many people in the class got a number of the details that Karen elaborated on. I think that my own inability to connect is based upon the fact that I am unsure that "I can do it" so that is leading to the reality that I can't do it. Hopefully this will shift with more practice. Body scanning work is my weakest area currently.
