Have you ever heard of an ECF field, or know what it is? I woke up in one a few weeks ago. It's essentially like being inside a large spinning container that's always there. On the container walls are what appears to be a magic circle symbol. The ECF spins counter-clockwise when I feel negative, and clockwise when I feel positive, though recently there have been two: an outer one that spins counter-clockwise and an inner one spinning clockwise. I'm guessing that this all started when I began to use auto-suggestion. Thanks for your time.

I believe you have two things going on here. The first is that you ARE being exposed to EMF - electro-magnetic fields - which are invisible lines of force that surround electrical devices such as a power lines, electrical wiring and operating appliances. Electric fields are produced by voltage, and these fields are easily shielded by objects such as trees, buildings and skin.
In contrast, magnetic fields are produced by current, and these fields pass through most materials. Both electric and magnetic fields weaken with increasing distance from the source.
Even though electric and magnetic fields are present around operating appliances and power lines, more recent interest has focused on the potential health effects of magnetic fields. This is because some epidemiological studies have suggested that they may increase the risk of cancer.
Do you live near power lines or sleep near appliances that are turned on all the time? If you would like to limit your exposure to EMF, you may take simple steps like increasing the distance between yourself and the EMF source. Sit at an arm's length from your computer terminal. Avoid unnecessary proximity to high EMF sources such as appliances and electric blankets. Turn off your computer monitor and other electrical appliances when you aren't using them.
The second issue I think you are experiencing is that you were astral traveling as you slept. I have spoken of this before in this column. You woke up before your logical mind was fully awake. Your soul landed in your body, you woke up with a jolt, and it took you a little while to figure out what was going on. Your soul was still transmitting information, but your logical mind was not yet turned on to translate what your soul was transmitting.
Basically, you saw the place where your soul had been while astral traveling. The container you speak of is the place where you go to learn when you sleep. The symbols on the walls are used to teach you. Normally you never see this with your eyes, and you never remember it when you wake up. You just happened to wake up in some weird time/space continuum. This happens from time to time.
I also believe that if you explained your experience to some people, they would be convinced that the place you woke up in and the markings you saw were alien in nature, and that you were being worked on by a "higher intelligence."
I think you should accept the "strange" things happening around you as benevolent and go with them.
I wish you more far-out "adventures."

It's my understanding that ECF (or EMF) is sort of like a vortex without the closed end spinning around a person in ENERGY. This often occurs around a person as sort of a TUBE, and doesn't have a real top or bottom. With practice, a person can learn to control the manifestation of those fields.
My son experiences a similar thing from time to time, and when that is happening to him, all kinds or electrical gadgets, light strips and electrical appliances seem to go haywire if he gets close to them. He works with electricity for a living, so this can become rather bothersome.
Why this occurs for some people is uncertain. Some of us seem to draw electrical energy to our OWN neuro-electric force. One theory is that we ALL have these fields around us, but only certain people can "see" them or are aware they're there. In this way, these are rather like our auras; they surround us but are for the most part unseen by others.
For some of us, this can become a kind of protective "force field" that keeps certain elements and images (and even people and animals at times) out of our auras and out of our harmonies. For others, it becomes something that sets them APART and prevents deep human contact. I hope that's not the case with you!
The ECF that is moving around the first ECF you experience is also not that unusual. Remember: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." So the counter-clockwise field is designed for balance. It's not surprising to me that the positive one spins one way, and the negative one spins another. That actually makes a lot more sense than just having one field for positive feelings/ vibrations.
I'm not sure that auto-suggestion would bring something like this to you, but if you think that's what started it, and if the timing is right, I see how that COULD happen. Usually people either experience this or they don't. Most begin to notice this sort of thing in their late twenties. Your next project should probably be learning how to TURN IT OFF. Most people are able to find the "switch" that controls this awareness via meditation.
Many people have told me that if they begin to SPIN with the field clockwise and then turn counterclockwise, it works as the "switch." You'll have to experiment and find what works for you. Probably since you're seeing BOTH the positive and negative one around you, you'll have to turn clockwise for the negative one and counterclockwise for the positive. Turn the NEGATIVE FIELD OFF FIRST, regardless of where it's placed around you.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
