question on 90 day med

[Guest guest]

Satnam Christa,

My prayers are with you and your family.Thank you for sharing this with us.

It is incredible that you got the strenght to even do a meditation

yesterday.My theory is even if you are not absolutely present during your

meditation it's okay because we are not always present anyway and meditation

is a system to develop that in the long run.The presence of mind to do some

of it shows discipline which is a part of the process of a 90 day

meditation.The strengthening of the aura and other parts of the mind gets

activated.I am sure GR kaur can clarify this for you soon.

Take care and stay in the light.Keep us posted so we can support you if you

need it.

Sincerly

S.i.r.Khalsa

Sat Nam everyone.

Yesterday was a really bad day. In the morning, my step father died

in a car accident. I was with my mother all day yesterday. That

evening I just felt emotionally drained. I still sat down to do my

meditation. I didn't do any yoga, she had just fallen asleep and I

didn't want to wake her. So I just meditated. And because I wanted to

be quiet, I didn't actually chant, but rather whispered the mantra. I

normally do the med for 11+ minutes, but last night I only did it for

5. And during those 5, I really wasn't 'there'. I'm not sure that

makes sense. It was one of those 'going through the motions' but not

really focusing on the mantra. I know you are supposed to do 90 days

continual, but if you do one day of the med and just feel like you

aren't really concentrating on it, does that equate to not doing it

at all? And I'm assuming because I whispered instead of actually

chanting, that doesn't 'count' either. I may just start over again.

 

I did have two odd sensations during those 5 minutes though.

Throughout the med, I kept feeling something on my right palm. It

wasn't in the center of my palm, but rather to the center of

the 'padding' on the outside of the hand (about where your pinky lays

when you make a fist). The sensation started as a little tickle, like

a piece of clothing was gently rubbing it. Then it increased to a

stabbing (but not painful) sensation. It felt like something was

sticking me there. I moved my hands a couple of times (never opened

my eyes) but couldn't feel anything near my hand. Then the sensation

increased to a pressure, like someone was pushing a finger in that

same exact spot. The first two feelings I had originally chalked up

to my mind playing games or a part of my pants was rubbing me. But

the pressure feeling I've had before, in my 3rd eye. It felt the

exact same. Very real pressure. Is there a chakra there or something

that I may have been activating and not knowing it? I know there is

one in the middle of the hand, but this was not in the center.

 

The other sensation occurred after I finished the chanting. I was

just sitting there silently when I felt a fuzzy feeling in my heart

center. Like a ball of energy buzzing and humming directly in front

of my chest. I had this sensation once before. But this time it was

different. It wasn't centered over my sternum like before. This time

the ball was smaller and was about an inch off the center, towards my

heart. I thought that all of the chakras were centered up the spine.

The fact that the 'ball' was noticably 'off-center' I'm assuming has

to do with the emotions of the day. Is there something else I should

do to 're-center' or whatever you call it, my chakra?

 

If you could keep my mother and step-father in your prayers tonight I

would greatly appreciate it.

Christa,

From what I understand, if you pick your meditation within 72 hours

you are still in the flow.

Regarding your process, this is a good time to remember Pratyhar.

Bring everything you are going through into the meditation experience.

Follow the subtle, or not so subtle to the infinite within. Be very

Virgo and then flow. Allow the heart to be the filter. Yeah, your head

will ask "what's that?" ,but allow your link through the Golden Chain

(Ong Namo....)and the heart to have the final word. So much more will be

understood. That to me is Wahe Guru...the ecstasy.

Sat Nam,

Dharam

Yikes.....what a day! The pressure on the hand is the first chakra, trying to

open up and help you let go. The stuff in the heart is the etheric

heart itself, rather than the heart chakra generally. If you allow yourself to

just feel both of those points, breathe, witness, do your mantra in

whatever way you wish, the stress of it will get processed and you will

probably be stronger for it. If it means you have to experience a lot of

emotion at the same time, let that happen. But try not to zone out as a way of

trying to deal with the overwhelm of it. Although that may not be

possible at first. As far as repititions of the mantra and keeping up your 90

day committment - it sounds like you're a trooper. Just repeat the

mantra the number of times that are equivalent to the normal meditation you are

doing, but don't be hard on yourself - you can do it walking,

sitting, whatever. Then there will be no break in the momentum.

Certainly does. Who is there all the time?

No. You kept the connection.

Whispering is the language of love. That is fine.

 

I may just start over again.>

 

Just keep going. It is good you could do it for 5 minutes.

Something was happening and being activated. Just be with it.

No just be with the experience. Trust your meditation. It is working. See

even 5 minutes made all this happen.

For sure. Chant akaaaaaaaaal 5 timres for your step father. Maybe he was

nudging you for your help on leaving.
