A digest for conscious living
This morning I did my yoga but did not have time to meditate because I inadvertently overslept. I was however able to come home at lunch time and meditate with my wife while our daughter took her nap.
My emotional energy was flowing very strongly today. I had a sales meeting this morning with a potentially important client and was feeling slightly nervous at breakfast. In the car on the way to my appointment a strange thing happened. My nervous energy, which would normally be exacerbated by a drive in morning traffic, took an unexpected turn when I got into the car and began listening to music on the radio. Instead of feeling irritated and stressed by the drive and my meeting, I began to feel very emotional- and extremely happy. I was surprised to find myself shedding tears in the car, as I became overwhelmed by a feeling of connectedness, gratitude and joy.
I think that my Chi was accelerated by the external pressure of an important meeting. Instead of getting blocked as it so easily can in such situations, this energy found a channel for expression in emotions of profound happiness.
I don’t know if I will get business from this morning’s meeting, but I was very happy with how it went. I really feel like I did my absolute best and regardless of the results, that is always a good feeling. I came home after my meeting and during my pre-lunch meditation the rest of the energy that I had accumulated turned my body into a roman candle of Shakti.
I have never had so much emotional energy release in one meditation. Rather than having periods of concentration and peace punctuated by a few short periods of exstatic release, it felt like the exstasy continued for long periods with every breath igniting another wave of energy which moved from the bottom of my spine up through my back and body and out the top of my head. The meditation was about 40 minues long and I spent the majority of that time in bliss. The rest of the day has been fantastic- shimmering, sparkling, clear.
Previousy I did not know whether this kind of meditation was really possible, but I am very glad to have experienced it. I will not seek to attain this state again in all my future meditations as this is always a sure way to get lost in ambition and expectations, but I will certainly be grateful if it happens again.
Goodnight,
Kikta
