I’ve heard this before but this time it was received a
bit different even-though it was the same voice. I kept wondering why it was called Crime of
the Century. My breathing was must
better and my focus as well. I never did
understand if the window of light was coming from or going into my body. My mind kept thinking “what did he say?” I actually remember the colors of the rainbow
and it prepared me for the reading, on page 56 of Dacher, (Meeting Asclepius)
about sitting with a wise person and receiving their light. I loved that exercise! Don’t miss reading it.

Karen,
ReplyDeleteI really felt the same way as you with the confusion as to why the author titled it "crime of the century". I kept waiting for the crime drama to start and before I knew it I was relaxed and felt tricked into listening! lol.. maybe that was the psychology behind it. I did feel that this exercise was helpful in focusing my breathing and distracting my mind from the usual hustle and bustle. However, my ADD kicked in and I found it difficult to remain focused on the entire exercise. I suppose it was better than not listening or relaxing at all! anyhow, great post.

I'd rather sit in the yard, listen to the birds and breathe the fresh air while waiting for the next fire truck to take off! That usually interupts any possible meditation.
DeleteThis stuff just like anything else new will take some practice. I too got distracted many times until I finally got into the moment and started relexing. We are not use to these type of experiences, so they feel foreign at first. Also, some days are better than others when it come to meditation. I am kind of a veteran at this now through repeated sessions. Now I go hiking, get lost in the forest, sit on a rock or meadow and listen to natures sounds. I sense energy vibrations and drift off to another place. It's a great escape within oneself. I think it works better when I am exhausted from exercise. The monkey mind thing (wondering thoughts) dissipates and focused meditation is achieved.
