At a time that life seems to be the most complex. A journey started to unfold that would turn my world upside down. Little did I know that a meditation practice would lead me to another world and into a deep dive of self reflection.
It all began because the world around me was crumbling. The truth be told there were fingers pointing at me and somehow every thing turned into my fault. Yep, little OLE ME was the problem and all I had was ME to figure out how can it all be ME that was causing others such hurt as they seemed to think.
This is not to scare people off from meditation it is to show you that a practice can and will enhance your mental state in a world of chaos. Whether you choose to call it pray time or spiritual evolution it is all up to you and NO ONE is wrong in their thought.
What the one thing that I can bring to the table is that being intentional on how you proceed can cause two outcomes.
- You will see the root of why things are crumbling around you or
- You will see that you really are not the problem after all you are surrounded by people who truly do not enhance your life.
Either way you would like to dice it you will be at a split in the road before you even know it and yes your life will at the moment feel like it is turning upside down and topsy turvy. It is not fun but from experience myself it is WORTH IT!
So, if you have made it this far we are going to list a few things to truly help you succeed in this practice and at the end I will share a few places and a story that happened during one of these profound meditations.
HOW TO START
- Find a Comfortable Quite Place. In the beginning this is kinda of important for not having distractions. I suffer from poor boundaries and seemed it was a challenge that I was creating by not having a quite place of my own.
- Patience. They say it is a virtue and this case it is. At the beginning one simply questions what am I doing and it feels off kilter and and and the list could go on.
- Intention. When I first started it was all about quite the mind. This is when I realized holy molly my mind doesn’t shut up. So the dilemma began. Truly it was a piece of advise that came from a off the wall perspective. I had enlisted in the help of Udemy ( no affiliation) just a course I took in Channeling to help me out. Sufani Garza founder of Peace and Bliss Academy had a meet your guides guided meditation. So I fell into to what meditation was really about through this guided meditation. It was 20 so minutes long and when I met my guides I came out of this meditation a changed person. So with that being said this is why meditation is simply life changing.
- Practice. Upon having my AH HA moment and practiced this guided meditation practice is when things started to turn into a new world. My guides would seriously reach out to touch me and it was a knowing that it was time to stop the guided part and start guiding myself into meditation.
As we covered earlier by following some basic things one can see how there is not just a path of one way to start meditating. Mine is my journey sharing with you about the experience. There was also a promise to share one of my meditations with you that left me in tears and emotional to this day when I truly think about it. The story of why is next.
The Meditation That Brought Me to know there is a God!
One cool fall day in 2022 my journey in meditation stopped me in my tracks. It wasn’t a spectacular day, it was a Monday night and I was at my whits ends with my other half over I have no idea what. Let’s be real so many things were wrong at the time it was a mush pit of just one disaster after another. Just like writing this he is still a mush pit of stop and starts. Yet, its always my fault. SO onward with the story and how this one meditation turned into my life changing.
My meditation area is simply lying down on my bed with headphones and YouTube music that is picked off of what is needing to be balanced. Most of the time it is 432hz based and some type of water and Tibetan healing bowls. The time came to cover my eyes and never have I ever just laid down and seen anything, but this moment the minute my head laid back and I closed my eyes there was a feeling of swooshing and my body was out. I seriously had the moment of flying. When I settled into it the next moment I was looking around to the point I looked down at my hands and back up to see stars. It wasn’t planet earth any more either. A real life Dorthy moment. I settled the anxious feeling and reminded myself this was my first astral experience and calmed my body in regard. The moment I looked around I saw what looked like a rocky planet barren no trees, no life just rocks. In this moment my mind said where are we? The energy that came calmed my senses and allowed me to know that it wasn’t a place that needed to be identified. So, I sat on a rock just looking at what felt like home. No other words to describe it really. My mind wandered and a question came to my mind and it was simply why all the hurt, pain and suffering? Just WHY? Can it not just ALL stop!
Then a hand was placed on my left shoulder and that moment I will never forgot the warmth, the love, and the serenity that it brought my soul. It was one of knowing that this wasn’t the plan that was intended for humanity. It was just wrong. It showed the loneliness of what nothing really was. It was isolation. No beauty, no creation just an abyss of nothingness. Which one could simply feel the desolate of existence. Then a hand came to rest on my right shoulder. Again, one of warmth radiating so much love. As I turned to look from the left to the right it was the most memorizing thing. Warm memories of lifetimes that were all related to what I was feeling from what one could only describe as a divine presence. It was like a movie real of happy moments from fields of a family laughing with kids running through it to seeing a mother and father watching their children play blissfully.
You see at that moment in my soul there was a knowing that the desolate inside is what keeps us from seeing the reality of life. It is not that there is right or wrong it is that we all have a story. Whether we choose to see it as bad or good it is simply the perspective of the person. Duality was not created it was made. By who? Man and woman created duality of what they thought was right or wrong. In truth we were and will always be light having a human experience to push evolution forward into harmony.
In this time of the meditation there was a soul shift that happened. When the time had come for me to return to body I actually begged for me to be able to stay. Why well the love, was so peaceful that was shared that I simply did not want to come back.
You see growing up in a household that as much as I would like to think was normal it truly wasn’t. Relationships consisted of contracts and to this day they simply are just that. A contract… That was the first time in 45 years that I felt what it was like to feel safe, I knew that the energy around me was of pure intention. It was love for life it was unyielding in grace and the knowing that it was rough but I was loved by something greater than no human could fathom, was just surreal.
This is in my journal but it is also something that will never be forgotten for a second of my life. It took me many failed attempts to reach meditation where I felt like I was being helped healed or whatever your reason is to start the practice.
This has not been an easy journey but it has been rewarding. It is my place to feel the presence of creation and feel into the knowing that this is simply greater than a lifetime. We are greater than working our whole life to retire. We are greater than paying taxes on a man made wheel and that there is more to life than simply existing to simply die.
When humanity as a whole starts to understand that life is greater than the status, the job the insignificant purpose of creation then that is when we will start to see things change for humanity. We have a window a great reset that is coming. The time is upon us and we as a collective have the opportunity to change the direction.
Truly, with all my heart and soul we are loved. From something greater than this experience can even identify with. No love of a father or mother could explain what was felt during that meditation and there are no wrods to express how that meditation drastically changed my life. There is one thing that did change though. My life went from not truly knowing what love was to being so encompessed in love from something greater than a mother and father could give was just liberating.
If you choose to call it meditation or pray please do it with intention, purpose and meaning. It was months of asking why in life to finally get to the moment that there was an answer. When the answer came at the oddest of times but there will never be a doubt it was at the perfect time.
