Awareness

During a deep meditation this morning I entered a deep meditative state.

I was in total awareness of my bodily functions and mind.

I did not judge any thoughts or feelings I had. I just let them be.

I simply sat there in acceptance and observed the “goings on” of my body and mind.

I observed my left leg under my right calf muscle.

I observed my stomach growl due to the acidity and grelin, perhaps some hunger.

I observed my legs begin to strain a bit and so I stretched them out.

I observed my mind wander, entertaining different thoughts.

I observed and felt a deep, blissful relaxation come over me. It was as if I was floating. Total silence. Total peace. Nothing in the world mattered but this moment. Anything seemed possible.

How did I enter this state?

A deep intention of letting go and just “be-ing”.

No water, no food, no caffeine, nothing.

7 hours of restful sleep.

Listening to my body. I had woken up at 3:15 am, but I asked my body and mind, “are you ready to wake up?” it said, “no, not yet”, and so I went back to sleep. At 7:13 am it said “yes” and so I awoke.

I also took myself to my village in Nepal, on the grass facing Mount Everest, meditating.

Coming out of the meditation I felt at peace.

My whole day was given the feeling of intention.
