Meditation for Paula

[Guest guest]

I just had some really weird 'after effects' today. The scheduled

meditation for Paula started at the same time as a weekly conference

call I have for work. But I 'slipped-out' about 5 minutes after 11

(so I was a few minutes late starting). I intended to meditate for 11

minutes and then re-join my meeting. During the meditation, I tried

to imagine Paula laying on a bed during her treatment and tried

to 'send' her love. I imagined a soft white glow around her as I

meditated/chanted. I'm not positive if this is the 'correct' way to

do this, but this is how I usually do this when I do Ra Ma Da Sa for

someone.

 

Towards the end of the 11 minutes, it felt like a had a 'hole' in the

lower back part of my head. Right above where the spine connects to

the skull. My 3rd eye was feeling a lot of pressure the whole time,

which is normal for me. But I had never felt the 'hole' before. When

the 11 minutes finished, I felt like I was 'really deep' in the

meditation. I half-heartedly tried to open my eyes, but they felt

heavy, so I stopped trying. The 'hole' stayed there for several more

minutes. Then there was this strange feeling within me and through

me. I'm not sure how to describe it though. I want to say 'love'

or 'compassion', but I'm not sure that's a good description. It was

subtle at first and got a bit stronger. I felt like I was either

going somewhere, or something was coming towards me. I finally opened

my eyes and felt like I was groggy and a bit disoriented. Like I was

coming out of a sleep or something. When I looked at the clock, I had

only been meditating a total of 19 minutes. So it wasn't really long

time.

 

Does anyone know what happened? Is this typical when doing a group

meditation?

Hi Christa

You are way ahead of me in this stuff, I rarely get past 3 minutes doing

these meditations but they are high on the list for my next challenge.

I was determined to do more than 3 minutes today, that's for sure.

I started easily and felt like I was slipping into warm water, my whole

body relaxed, I also had lots of pressure in my third eye, also a lot of

tingling in my palms.

I was visualizing adding healing-love into the chemo bag but then I

seemed to go into a blank zone, I felt myself smiling and also felt so

much love. I started coming out of it after 18 minutes and felt so calm,

I kept the recording playing until noon (est).

I'd also be interested in knowing what others felt and what is typical.

Oh, I forgot to add that I am still feeling the pressure in my third

eye, not hard but subtle

Thanks for the feedback Cris. It's interesting. I too found myself

smiling at various points during the meditation. (I have no idea why)

And the feeling also stayed with me for awhile, but not real long,

maybe 30 minutes.

 

I also realized when I came out of it, I had forgotten to tune-in

(oops). Maybe that's what caused the 'hole' feeling. It was REALLY

weird though.

 

I couldn't feel anything unusual in my palms. But I did feel very

warm and started to sweat a little bit.

Dear Cris and Christa and Friends,

 

> seemed to go into a blank zone, I felt myself smiling and also felt so >

much love. I started coming out of it after 18 minutes and felt so calm,

 

This indicates you connected at a very deep and pure level.

 

> I'd also be interested in knowing what others felt and what is typical.

 

We feel what we feel and there is no typical. But thanks for sharing your

experiences. Something happened!

 

And what happened? Really only God knows. What we do is the work and then

turn it over to the higher powers. We can't and wouldn't want to be in

charge. But it sure is wonderful to participate and offer our heart to the

healing of others. We know we done our job and have gotten some of the

rewards when we feel the peace and the love that you describe.

 

As to the specific effects, I don't pay much attention to trying to figure

them out any more. The basic principle I use is to release the resistance,

so that the cosmic flow can happen. Then I feel good and I know this is how

I can have the deepest impact.

 

I know it is fun to try to figure out what experiences mean, but I gave it

up. There can be absolutely no relationship between what you experience and

Paula or who you are sending energy too. But just being present to the

energy shifts will create a shift. That is powerful.

 

It is wonderful that we could share in this way with Paula and work together

as a team. This group warms my heart.

I came through the chemo therapy very well. I'm still here. I had been

wondering how to describe my experience to you all, as it seemed a bit

surreal. After reading your post, I'm not so sure. I only had saline fluids

early in the morning, and then the chemicals later in the afternoon. The

total experience took about 6 hours. However, I had the most wonderful

feeling of contentment, and calm. The nurses couldn't believe this was my

first chemo treatment. I told them I wasn't frightened, that I had too many

people pulling and praying for me. I sort of "floated about" in my head and

body the entire day. I felt the white glow, only inside my body. Is that

strange or what? I could close my eyes to doze, and the white light was

there again, on the backs of my lids. But I remember most, the peaceful

calm that engulfed me. I read your emails again, and did my little

meditation to myself as long at the nurses weren't interrupting me! ;-) I

had a little discomfort about 4 pm (CDT), but they were able to relieve it.

I felt so very sleepy all day, before the meds were given to me. I felt very

groggy, as if from sleep, but I felt as though I was not alone. I believe I

felt you all there with me. My heartfelt gratitude to all my friends in ky.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it was exquisite!! Beautiful white,

warm, love, and smiling peace. Thank you friends for all your help. Should

you wish to continue the "experiment" I too wish to cooperate. The next

treatment is September 9th, 2002, 9am CDT. There will be 4 hours of fluids

run before the actual chemo is injected. I felt so much peace this time, I'm

certain any time of day would work in meditation. Or does it need to be done

simultaneously as a "group" effort? I wish you all could have been in my

head to see the beauty I felt!! I wish I could describe it better.

 

Blessings

Dear :Paula,

 

This is fabulous news! Thanks for sharing in so much detail. There does

not have to be a correspondence with what we experienced to transmit the

energy to you. The important thing is that you received the love and the

light. The intent was so pure and your reception was as pure.

Great job everyone.

 

Of course, we want to continue the experiment!

 

I was actually going to write the list to continue the healing praryers at

any time is convenient as the process is continuing. We can just hold Paula

in our hearts if we don't have time to do a meditation or want to share our

love with her at other times.

 

I just had a thought and will be brave and make the request to include Paul

at the same time everyone meditates for Paula. This will not only balance

the male female polarities in the healing, it will help a dear friend who at

this very moment needs an opening of space for something important to happen

so his project will go through. Today and the next few days are critical.

I will explain it one day when it is complete as it will benefit all of us.

Wow. Thank you!

 

Now I am off to teach my class and will include everyone in our healing

prayers tonight. Remember love and light are infinite and there is no limit

to who we can share with and the impact we can have. This is so much fun!!

 

Many blessings and Sat Nam,

Paula, I'm so glad to hear from you. You've probably already read the

posts that several of us had on Monday regarding the meditation. We

certainly felt connected to 'something/someone' on our end. But I'm

REALLY happy to hear that you could also feel the connection.

 

I will definately be participating on September 9th at your next

treatment. And I saw Gururattan's request for daily prayer, which I

will do as well.

 

We've got some time, but I'll pose the question now. Does it matter

what specific time we all meditate, or should it coincide with the

actual chemo injection to have more effect?
