I again asked my spirit guides to guide me, and I am here…sharing instead of shopping on amazon during my morning coffee time. I used to love being in vibration, enraptured by only what I AM. Nothing ever needed but what is…energy merged into the ALL. For years now I drifted away. With the help from my spirit guides…I am nudged back, needing support. And in discussion from the group last night, "showing up" and sharing, receiving, giving, participating. 🙂
The raw simplicity of meditation is both purposeless and ever-present. Nothing is produced or added to us as we meditate.
Meditation is really making room for an enlightened Self to both express and reflect the ever shining light of being – shimmering in plaid sight. One conscious moment of causeless – grace at a time.
Those moments where We human beings open our spirit eyes to each other is the spiritual practice of a shaman and healer.
My last session with Keshav was led by an Om Mani Padme Hum mantra. Throughout the meditation I felt like my body was taking in more oxygen with little to no breathing. Mind couldn’t comprehend how this was taking place, but my body felt wonderful. In actuality, I didn’t feel like I was breathing at all.
Missy, last night I was aware of timelessness soliciting me. By accepting the invitation, I was aware that I was deep within it. There was also a clear knowing that I could only find or experience myself in the absence of time bound concerns.
Last night the Meditation went in and out , at least I thought. Now hearing what Betty said, I see the Meditation was flowing through me and was exactly as it was. It was a busy one and I know when Keshav spoke, I woke up from wherever I was. Namaste.
Betty – As you say, staying out of the way is another pure intent of meditation!
Keshav used to say, “Everything is a meditation.” I take this to mean every action, every moment can be experienced from that space where we can be fully focused on the task at hand. It is there where we become absorbed into a sunset, or a flower, or a song. It is a place where we can be informed and inspired because we have gotten out of the way.
Carol, Now that you mention it, it seems to me that “the joy of simply being” is the purest intent of all for meditation. And the most often result, for me.
Quite remarkable to realize that there are benefits to understanding ourselves, so that we do not behave reactively in life and are not controlled by our own minds! Again to drop all craving and find the joy of simply being.
