A Short Progress Report from John

[Guest guest]

Lately I have been taking more frequent meditation sessions. Many

stints each day of 20 minutes or so and my head and crown chakras are

now swirling continuously in and out of that practice. I can't go

beyond about 20 minutes as the thought intrusion forces seem to grow

in their oppressiveness. I'm reluctant to use anchors such as mantras

or listening to breathing patterns as I want to distance myself from

" busyness " within the meditation process. I feel that there must be a

point where that unbroken continuum finds its own life force and the

duality of walking the tightrope vanishes into oblivion but not yet

for me !! Also the more frequently I meditate, the more I feel heat

rising into my scalp and a sort of nerve-related left ear-ache seems

to trickle down into my neck with a few sharp spasms then ceasing.

 

I had a powerful dream last night which included the normal personal

confrontations of a life long since past - but a school friend with

whom I have lost touch, kept whispering that in order to keep moving

forward, I must learn the meaning of the word " covalence " (or

covalency). He said that I had fallen at that hurdle and might have

to regress to digest the lesson. It's a word I've never used in the

past and it still fails to make sense to me.

 

It's gratifying to see so many new members, each with a very

interesting story to tell - thank you so much for joining us - and

also a big thank-you to Chrism, to Glen and to the " welcomers " for

your nurturing, guiding presence on this Group site. Love - John.

 

 

PS. Chrism, I am following the Safeties and ask to be included in the

Summer Solstice Shaktipat.

Covalence is a discription of the forces that hold the electron in

place around the atom. Covalent bonding as I recall. Here's what the

dictionary tells us. -

---

-----------

covalency or US covalence

Noun

Chem

1. the ability to form a bond in which two atoms share a pair of

electrons

2. the number of covalent bonds which a particular atom can make

with others

 

_____________

 

From a Kundalini standpoint I would equate this to the balance

between the sacred Male and Female in the bonding that occurs with

regard to the sacred marriage. - blessings John and thank you as

well for the many people you help and contact and allow to know they

are not alone and there is a place to come for information. So many

have been directly assisted because of your efforts. Thanks again

John! - chrism

It's good to read a report from you John! Sounds like lots of good

stuff is starting to happen. I looked up covalence and here is what

I found:

noun

valence characterized by the sharing of electrons in a chemical

compound; the number of pairs of electrons an atom can share

 

 

Perhaps this has to do with your Kundalini in some way. Not sure how

it's related, but maybe you need to ask Shakti during meditation and

see what answer you get.

Hi Sarita and Chrism, your info prompted me to search for references

to covalence+kundalini for which there are a few sites and I'll check

them out. Thanks for your thoughts - I just hope I didn't misread the

dream message as pointing to my next address. Co(n)valescent homes

(bless their staff and residents) aren't my choice of fun places !!

Another thought about covalence...

 

A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the

sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent

bonds. In short, attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when

they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.

 

This is from Wikipedia.

 

So covalence is about a fine balance between opposite forces, which could have

to do with the opposing forces of mental focus and mental surrender that you are

having problems with during meditation...'walking the tightrope,' as you

described. The " attraction-to-repulsion stability " is what is intruiging to

me---sounds very active, like it's more than simply surrendering. Almost

suggesting that the struggle is essential to the fine balance (the " unbroken

continium " ) you are seeking...

 

My thoughts, hope it helps. Great to hear from you John!!

 

Love,

Claudia

Hi John

 

Covalence or more specifically covalent bonding is the sharing equally

of two electrons between two nuclei in a new and common orbital to

both nuclei, and in such a way that the shared electrons are no longer

identifiable with either of the nuclei.

 

In your context I would interpret the 'loss of covalence' as having

fallen out of that closeness that you enjoyed with him or someone in

the past ie you are now a separate entity again having broken that

bond with him or some other person once special in your life.

 

Just my take on it.

 

blessings

Thanks Claudia, that's a very useful insight - I'll ponder that for

some time - Love - John
