What's happening to me? Advice for the first time horse

If you are new to the experience of taking a spirit into yourself, to sharing your life and your body with an ethereal being, a number of unexpected or unfamiliar sensations can occur. These can be physical or mental, and are perhaps best summed up on this page discussing "Kundalini syndrome."

The first time you attempt hosting/aspecting/channeling your guide inside your physical body, the most common occurrance is probably increased breathing and heart rate. The primary reason is likely fear or apprehension on your part. It is no easy thing to allow a spirit to come into yourself, especially if you're trying to do it alone, and don't know what to expect. Movies, television and the bad experiences of uncautious mediums have told society at large that allowing this to happen is always bad. That "possession" is something to always be avoided as harmful.

But this is not so. Some world religions, such as Vodou and traditional Kemetic (Egyptian) faiths, seek out possession as a powerful confirmation of their ability to work with the spirits, and they are the "horse" that the spirit "rides" in order to communicate with the physical human realm more clearly and easily.

I would advise finding someone to help you through this process if you have never attempted it before, especially if it will be a sudden calling of a spirit into your body, not a gradual awakening of another voice that can be heard. Some spirits can be very intense and cause symptoms such as described at the link above, including a racing heart, sudden sexual urges, cranial pressure or a "big head" feeling, tingling in the hands, hot or cold sensations, and so on.

The more you do it, however, the more these sensations will settle out. They will lessen over time as your physical body and the spirit in question become more aligned. The fear will dissipate, which is the cause of several of these symptoms, and a new cooperative arrangement will be found. Some fullness, heaviness, or perhaps tingling sensations will likely remain, however, and this is a good indicator that you are not alone. A time will come that you are unsure if your primary guide is indwelling, and if that happens, simply check for that feeling of heaviness or fullness. Ask him or her to leave for a time, and compare the difference. If he or she is with you frequently, you will feel a marked emptiness when they're gone.

Practice makes perfect, and the more familiar with the situation you become, the easier it will be for you both.
