Transitioning

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam, all:

 

I recently responded to Matt regarding

detaching/self-observation while meditating as to not let the anger get

to him nor to expect a certain outcome.

When I am meditating, I seem to easily become the vehicle or

the vessel allowing various feelings to freely flow, often times being

able to connect to higher source (feeling and knowing the connection)

and overall finding the experience to be rewarding even if it wasn't

pleasant. I have purchased healing sound CD's in the past and have

responded to them in some surprising ways, i.e. screaming, panting, and

a lot of body movements with the most peculiar being my body going into

a childbirth position, however with my head tilted up and back. I

shared this with a friend and she said, weren't you scared and I said

no. I am more curious than anything and have a strong desire to heal.

I have been at a week-end meditation before and the group was instructed

to send out love to the group and I had a phenomenal experience of

feeling a strength, a bond, a love/an energy source so powerful and

being connected to all (all being everything not just the people!). We

were to share our experience and I did and people looked at me with

blank stares. I was thinking, people, we should be rejoicing. There is

something more. They just didn't get it. Sometimes I have a sixth

sense, however not on a daily basis.

In light of all of this, there is still a lot I do not know

or understand. I wish I could apply the detachment/self-observation to

my daily life while interacting with others (okay, I have in increments,

very small ones) instead of over-reacting or being so

self-conscientious. I don't understand how I can easily be the vessel

while meditating, but I am so hyper-vigilant during the course of the

day. This is very frustrating. Yes, I am expecting more from myself.

Does anyone understand what I am saying or where I am coming from? Do I

need more grounding? I can't help but think, something still isn't

right. I'm more unease than at ease. Any thoughts or guidance on this

would be appreciated. Thank you.

With Love,

Brenda

Sat Nam Brenda,

 

 

In meditation we can experience different states of consciousness, as we've all

experienced through our meditative practices.

 

I was in a class a few years ago, where my teacher had us do a heart meditation

and then afterwards we had to turn to the person beside us and verbally express

something from our heart. In other words, bring the experience of the heart

consciousness down into the here and now and share it with others.

 

The person beside me wasn't able to express even one word....she just couldn't

get it out of her....and afterwards, she asked the teacher...."why was I able to

have this very vast experience in my heart during the meditation, but when it

came time to express from the heart, I had no capacity to do it?"

 

My teacher explained that, although during meditation, we can experience vast

states of consciousness, it doesn't mean that we embody that consciousness yet.

It may take one hour ...or one lifetime.... to fully integrate an experience of

new consciousness into our everyday life in a way that we now embody that

consciousness.

 

During meditation it's like being in a movie theatre and seeing a preview of the

up and coming new movie.....we constantly need to be recieving glimpses of new

potentiality within consciousness, otherwise you have no idea where it is that

you are trying to go in a bigger sense.....but it doesn't mean that we have

attained that consciousness necessarily...we've just been shown the "preview".

 

It's really what is meant by bringing heaven to earth. To be able to bring the

consciousness of the heavens and to live it on earth.

 

So if you recognize that yes, I have had a particular kind of experience of

consciousness while meditating, but I realize I am a long way yet from living it

in my everyday life.....then you can begin to use intention to clear the

obstacles in your present consciousness that are obstructing you from fully

integrating your meditative experiences of consciousness.

 

Before meditating you can make it your intention to have an awareness of what

obstacles are currently obstructing you from living the consciousness that you

are desiring...and then from there, keep re-working your intention everyday as

new awarenesses and releases occur.

 

All Light,
