An Incredible Meditating Moment
Setting the mind chatter a side, was my first endeavor as I began my meditation early this morning. Pin pointing the breath and bringing it in from the top of the skull down thru the head, shoulders, arms, body, legs and out the feet. Feeling the sensations; tingling, rushing, aching, itching, vibrating . . . Then following the breath from the feet, up the legs into the body thru the hands, arms & shoulders moving to the head and out. Several patterns of this with occasional rushes down & up the body, felt like warm-up exercises because today, I had a mission in meditating. Today I’m going into that closed area in my gut. I’ve known this area as a little rectangular box, hidden away, wrapped and tied shut, protected with vengeance, blocked off & left abandoned. This box I thought held my cross to bear, to grieve and hold down in heavy chains of sadness and guilt.
Today, somehow, from somewhere, I’m ready to surrender and receive whatever is within that box. To receive with all my senses anything I can feel, taste, smell, see and/or hear. Just be there; just be willing to pay attention.
As I sit, there is an ache in the pit of my stomach. The pain intensifies and reveals no box; just a pin pointed ache in my gut. I begin to see rays of light from that aching spot, brilliant light, light that blazes like fire without heat; light so strong it dissolves the pain & shines completely within. I couldn’t believe it! As I watch, the clarity and strength of the light suddenly began to fade and die down to embers. Oh no, I want the brilliance to return. I sat still; in the moment; ready to receive. The brilliance, the force, the fullness and beauty of that light returned. It took no work, no struggle, just attention & willingness to receive.
I feel so blessed and thankful.
Much love,
Kendra
