Things I learned in a SKHM workshop

I attended the recent Patrick's workshop in the UK.
After being practising SKHM for over a year quite intensively (5 workshops, many presential meditations and one or two meditations over the internet every week). I believe I had a pretty good understanding of the basics of SKHM. So my expectation for this workshop was mostly to meet Patrick and experience his energy.
But the workshop was quite an experience. Being able to meet Patrick was the most important, but I was indeed able to grasp a few new ideas to me from the master.
These are some of the things that I wrote down when I returned from the workshop:
- The way Patrick connects the heart and other parts where you can feel energy or blocks to the throat chakra. That was pretty impressive and very effective. When he lets out that energy in voice form, many of us can feel our own heart energy resonate to it. And having over 20 people singing with their hearts made quite a unique symphony.
- How he uses the emotion, any emotion as a key to open your heart connection and thus open yourself to the energy. He advised me personally to find something that could trigger this mechanism, and it was extremely useful to achieve a connection for me.
- Drop your energy from your head to your heart. In my case, being someone that activates the mind alot, I knew I had to connect to my heart and feel, instead of think. But his suggestion to drop the energy from the mind to the heart made things a lot easier.
- I learned how the connections to Earth and Heaven (Love and All) are metaphores to reach our alfa and omega chakras, as gateways to the energy. And now I can understand that bringing down suns, pyramids, infinites is essentially a way to reafirm this connection. It helps me just to visualize the energy in those chakras and repeatedly bring down an infinite or a sun to reinforce that energy path (before I was finding the visualizations complex and distracting, now that I understand what they are, I am much more comfortable with them).
- The energy we channel I knew it was the "source" energy. Now I know that we are actually channeling this energy from our higher self. This helps me focus more my intention (it is more specific). Of course, our higher self is our direct connection to the Source (it is a part of it). I wonder what can happen if we channel instead energy from other entities (given the neccesary precautions, of course).
I learned more things, but those are more personal in nature. I have shared what I believe might be useful for more people
All Love,
