Connecting to the Cosmic Energy
In each stage of my development, I encounter something new that I never thought I would be doing. This time it is simple meditation. I never had a use for it, and quite frankly, couldn’t stand sitting still!
I also didn’t know how, specifically, to meditate. I’m a visual learner, and while I can follow directions, the slightest nuance in a thought can leave me wondering if I got the exact meaning. So instead of being productive, I spend my time judging my performance as an automatic fail. Where I learned this bad habit is irrelevant, just that I struggle with it daily.
Back to my most recent epiphanies…a friend sent me a series of Deepak Chopra YouTube links. I have never been a fan. To be honest, it turns me off that he was on Oprah because she is so commercialized, so I am not at all familiar with his work. I have to tell you, though, that his work was impressive, and the sound of his voice very soothing. So I watched them all, and found Learning How to Meditate. It was phenomenal.
My first thought was how well put together it was. If you are a visual learner, the CGI was perfectly orchestrated to show me how this works, what to do, etc. And it was extremely informative verbally. I was interested enough to try it.
The premise is to bring cosmic energy, which powers your body indefinitely, down into your corporeal form and promote healing and balance physically, emotionally, and mentally. While pranic breathing is also very good for you, during the meditation you only focus on your breathing in order to clear your mind. It is not a mindful process of breaths, rather just being the observer.
The process was really interesting to me. I’ve done this now about 5 times, and each time I find myself in a panic about getting breath. I am not preventing myself from breathing, yet I’m afraid I will not get enough. Obviously a psychological hangup. Also, the random thoughts in my mind also put me off balance. Can you believe that the first time, when I quieted my mind, the Disney song Hakuna Matata popped in? It was with me all darn day after that. And yeah, I saw the irony. It means no worries, for the rest of your days. My guides have a great sense of humor.
Thankfully I did link up with the cosmic energy. There was no mistaking it when it hit me in the 3rd eye. And I was absolutely energized, which was wonderful. Logistically speaking, I haven’t done “as well” each day after this but they have been productive. Chopra recommended 30 minutes, but I have been doing 20 minutes and it’s going fine. That is what my guides have recommended. You should ask yours if you plan to begin.
Next I am supposed to get my butt in gear to do pranic breathing. I have too much water which makes me fatigued, and I need air. I’ll write about that experience when I get around to making it happen.
