Hi Catalina!
Signature patterns are the energetic imprints that are created when we use our intention to influence and direct the Sea of Awareness. If you hold a particular intention, you will notice a shifting of the energy into different shapes and forms that become our perceived experience. If these are expansive and light filled, they are in alignment with the innate nature of the sea of awareness. If they are constricted, they take you out of alignment with your true and natural being as awareness.
This was one of the first of many "ahas" I have had with what Jeddah teaches - talk about a perfect course correction tool! If I am feeling knotted up, overwhelmed, fearful, etc. then I know I am in a constricted energy pattern that is nonresourceful and appears to close down my options. If I am expanded, then I am able to see things more clearly and fully and I know this signature pattern is going to allow me to continue to expand and grow.
You can connect with how you perceive signature patterns by going inside and feeling how a particular experience impacts you. This impact can be very viscerally physical or it may have a more subtle manifestation.
For example, if I go inside and tune in to pity, I feel sad, woeful, disempowered and generally depressed and constricted. If I tune in to compassion, I have a feeling of oneness with all that is. I feel the illumination and growth that can come through facing a challenge with grace, love and power. This state is incredibly expanded. See how they feel for you.
When you work with signature patterns and start recognizing them for what they are, you realize that all change we experience occurs because we change our thought. We do not have to change our external environment, circumstances or companions. In every present moment, we get to choose what we focus on and by paying attention to the resultant signature pattern, we can choose contracted or expansive outcomes. It's a perfect feedback loop! Isn't life wonderful?!
With awe,
Wendy
