411. What Are Activations? Are You Having Them?

Speaker 2: [00:00:00] Hello, welcome to the meditation conversation, guiding your ascension to new heights. I'm your host, Kara Goodwin, and I'm so excited to be in this live today talking about activations. , this is one of those words that I feel gets tossed around in, in spiritual discussions. And I know I use this word a lot too. So you've probably heard me use it.

If this is not the first time you're coming across my. Content, um, but it can mean different things, different, it has different layers, different levels. It can be an emotional activation, but when we're talking about spiritual activations, there can be physical activations and there can be like just energetic activations.

We can have more like philosophical. Activations as well. So when I use the word, usually I just mean that something's [00:01:00] happening in my consciousness and I may not have great words to describe what's happening, but I can feel something shifting. So it's like the energy that I am. The energy that is within my body and that I am that extends way beyond my body is shifting based on an experience that I'm having.

So sometimes this even happens in podcast episodes where I'm talking to somebody, like one that comes to mind is, um, Deanna Divine. I, I interviewed her a few months ago. She started talking about ancient Egypt, and I was. Like there was just some shift that was happening kind of behind the scenes. And the way that that felt for me was I was listening to her.

I was present for the conversation, but I could also feel simultaneously that within my energy [00:02:00]system. Something was responding to what she was saying, and it just felt different. It's, it's hard to put words to. I would love to, if somebody is watching this at some point, um, and you have really great words to describe it, please do feel free to put that in the comments, because, um, it can be really tricky to put words to our experience.

But a lot of times that's how I experience an activation where it's, it's this like energetic response within the body. And there can be, there can be like little physical clues that accompany it that something's happening. So maybe there's a warmth. A lot of times. I think you guys know what I'm going to say.

Goosebumps. Oh, I've got chills. That's a, that is like a, a physical response that we may have when we're activated. Um, there can be a feeling of [00:03:00] excitement. I mean, that's kind of how that if something is activating, um, just in a normal terms outside of the spiritual lexicon, um, you may hear, Um, but it can just be like an excited feeling where somebody is speaking about something, you have some resonance to it, you have a sense of excitement, and it may not be that you're like, How we would think about being excited about what somebody's talking about.

Like if you're just talking to somebody and they're like telling you about, you know, plans for your birthday coming up and you're getting excited because they're, they want you, you know, you're planning to get all your friends together and you guys are talking about it and it's just feeling exciting.

You have this cause and effect like, Oh, I'm thinking about this fun thing that's going to happen. And I subsequently feel excited. But with the spiritual aspect, what you may find is that you come across content or [00:04:00] you have a conversation with somebody and there's like this resonance with you. Like you are learning something new from them.

They're telling you something that maybe you haven't thought about before. And you have a resonance, like there's a part of you that knows that it's true, even though it's brand new information. And it creates this. It's just it creates this feeling. I know you know what I'm talking about But maybe you haven't really thought about how it feels when this happens But that is you being in resonance with what you're hearing Sorry, I forgot to go on do not disturb here.

Bear with me just a second but there can also be a physical Uh, element to, uh, to activation. So I've already mentioned that when you have this energetic component, there may be things within your body that you notice, you may feel like a heat, um, a warmth, you may [00:05:00] feel, uh, goosebumps there, but there may be physical responses when, within the body.

But what I experienced this week, and this is really fascinating to me. It was fascinating already when it just happened to me, but then a friend. of a friend had the exact same thing happen to him. Um, in the dream state, uh, when he woke up from a dream and that just floors me because this was a brand new experience.

Well, at least I don't remember having this specific experience before, but I was just kind of going about my day a couple of days ago and all of a sudden I felt this vibration in the back of my neck and it was a physical vibration. It was as though some, do you know what a Theragun is? Like my husband uses the, this Theragun.

And it's like, or like if you go to the chiropractor and they've got that like gun that It, it is rapid fire and it, you'd like put it on a part of your body and it just like pokes you really, really [00:06:00] fast. And it was as though some, something was doing that to the back of my neck. And it happens several times in the day.

And I remember I told my friend Lori, I was like, if I didn't know about energy, I would be like, what in the world is going on? Like something's going really wrong with my body or, or it, it was so bizarre. But because. I have the perspective that I do and I am tuned into energy and I see things from an energetic perspective.

That was immediately where my mind went where I was like, Whoa, something energetic is happening. I mean, it literally felt like there were beings doing something back there with some kind of technology or something, but it was like, which shit. I have had this experience many times, um, in, in the hypnagogic state, which is that state, like when you're falling asleep, but you're not asleep yet.

Or you're like, where you're, you're not, you are [00:07:00] awake, but you're in that, like, very, it's like a, Heightened state, um, of awareness that you're not yet asleep, but it feels different. Um, I have had many, many times where parts of my body will just vibrate and it's a physical vibration. A lot of times it happens at the chakra centers, um, one at a time.

And I will feel it like for, A few minutes in one place and then suddenly it will, a different chakra will start doing it. But sometimes it's not even the chakras. Sometimes it's like part of my foot, just one of my feet, but just one part of one foot. It might be one, and then it might move up to my calf.

Um, So it's not all the way I had it the other day, actually in my, um, like kind of my lower ribs on the left side. And what was really interesting [00:08:00] with that one, that was while I was in that hypnagogic state and I was having like some energy patterns that I was seeing, I was getting like. A lot of, um, it was a very spiritual metaphysical experience, but I was feeling this physical vibration in my lower ribs.

I actually haven't thought about this in connection with my neck. This is interesting. I'm kind of like making this connection as I'm talking here, but, um, And I had this physical, like, vibration in my ribs, and it was coming and going, it was inside my ribs, but in that area, and my cat jumped up on the bed, and she, like, stuck her paw right, like, under my back.

In, like, in the, in the area of where this vibration was happening, which was very confirming, very strange, um, because I knew it was, even though there was this physical component of this [00:09:00]vibration, it was very, very energetic. Um, so anyway, all of that to say that when I was having this, Feeling in the back of my neck.

I, it was a physical vibration, a physical sensation, but it was, I believe an energetic activation. And that would be, in my opinion, associated with the throat chakra, something happening with the throat chakra. Um, one of the things. That we want to do a lot of times that the human tendency, or at least my tendency is like, what does it mean?

Why am I having this? What happens next? What is this doing for me? Why, you know, so all these questions and what I've learned through my experience is that it. It doesn't always matter why or we might not have that direct correlation. It may not just be one thing that it's like, [00:10:00] Oh, you had to have this activation in your throat because blank.

You know, it might just be that we are becoming the next version of ourselves. And there are a lot of pieces that have to be put into place for that up leveling. It's a process. It doesn't just all happen at once. And it could just be, it was time for whatever reason, it was time for the focus to be on my neck and my throat.

And maybe, you know, whatever was going on with my consciousness to help that upgrade happen. Um, you know, maybe it wasn't, I wasn't even meant to feel anything physically, but it just like happened like fast. Faster than, you know, faster than it was intended to be or, um, stronger than it was intended to be or something.

I mean, that's, that very well could be. I, I don't know. I, I'm just telling you what I experienced and then I, I don't [00:11:00] know why. And I've had to become. I've had to over time become okay with the not knowing because these things just happen and It's easier for me to just kind of surrender to it appreciate it understand that it's for my highest good welcome it and You know trust that it is In, you know, because I'm continuously intending, you know, every day through my meditation, make me, you know, align me with the divine, align me, body, mind, and soul with my highest purpose, my greatest good, let me be on my highest timeline, these are things that I'm working on every day invoking and Orienting my reality in that way and so when these things happen, I'm trusting that that these, this is a byproduct of what I'm intending that I am on my highest timeline and that I continue to upgrade, up [00:12:00] level, experience the highest versions of this, this life that I can.

So anyway, I gave you a little teaser earlier that. That what happened to me wasn't even the most interesting thing because I shared it with my friend that I had had these, these neck activations and that they were really interesting. And, you know, she was having a lot of stuff going on with her too. So it was just, and a lot of people in her world were having a lot of, um, energetic, for lack of a better word, activations.

I think that's the word we kept using. But then she told me that a friend of hers. had woken up in the night, and I think that he'd had the, I think he'd had like a really, um, interesting dream, where he, I think he was saying that he felt that it was more than a dream, but he woke up and his neck was vibrating, and I had just told her, I think it was like the night, like, or the next morning, um, but I, [00:13:00] the day before, I had been telling her about my neck activations, and she's like, Kara, he was saying the exact same thing that you were saying.

So, This is another thing that I love. I have so many chills. Um, there's not just one thing going on here. Oh, sorry. There is just one thing going on here. It's like, we are all these different expressions of one thing going on. And this happens so often as well, where I have something that I think is really specific to my life.

And then I just get all these reflections in. The external world of so many people having the same thing and that in this case, it's the neck vibration. In other cases, you know, if you've listened to other lives that I've done lately, I've been talking about the, the shadow and the, the work that has been showing up for me to integrate things and to love aspects of myself that I've had frozen.

This has been felt like a very, very personal thing that I've been going through. [00:14:00] Um, and. Everywhere I turn, people are talking about this in their own lives, their own experience, nothing to do with what's going on with me. It's just, you know, it may, I may actually like tune into a webinar of somebody I don't even know who's talking about something and it's the topic isn't even on.

The shadow or integration or anything like that. And that's where they take the conversation. It's just, I have all these reflections in the external. So that's exciting too. I love how that happens. And, um, and I'm sure that that happens for you as well, because it is, we're just, I think it's part of that alignment.

When we get more aligned with spirit, when we are working to stay in, you know, body, mind, soul, emotion alignment, then our universe. Our reality configures itself in a more divinely perfect way that where we get these reflections like everything is a [00:15:00] reflection and the more that we're in alignment, the more, the more reflections we have.

In a perfect arrangement. I don't know. It's really hard for me to describe. I talk about this in in some other live Where you know if you think about dr Emoto's water studies the crystallization Of water in its perfected state and all those points are these repeating? They're repeating points. I don't know.

I'm gonna that i'm gonna go way off topic if I go down that So let's not do that. Let's stay with activations. Anyway, I hope that this makes sense. And I, I wish for you that you continue to experience many activations, many, many blessings, and that, um, that they keep leading you to the next highest version of yourself.

And, I hope you have a beautiful rest of the [00:16:00] day. Thank you so much for joining me and I look forward to our next connection. Thank you so much.
