Meditation in the Park.

This morning I got up early and headed to the local meditation group. When I first arrived in the park I was a little intimidated and unsure I would make it out of the car. I watched a group for a minute  or two and quickly realized they were doing sun salutations. I did not come to do yoga, I wanted meditation. I scanned the park and saw a small group of 3 people clearly meditating. I walked over and sat patiently near the group. Still unsure if I would get to join, I was ten minutes late and  I was not going to interrupt. Fortunately they reached a transitional point and I introduced myself and was welcome into the group. I instantly felt at ease and light hearted with this group.
After that I learned the art of Falun Gong, a form of Qi Gong. We cycled through a series of movement s and held postures. Some moves were very simple but required endurance and some were a little more complicated. I could feel energy moving as I moved my hands in a slow dance. One move felt like an energy car wash! It felt as if I was cleansing and invigorating my energy as I went through the moves. At one point I noticed that I was smiling. I left feeling peaceful, connected and pleasantly energized. I will be back next week as well.

This is the end of my Binaural Meditation week. I will continue it through the weekend as I also gear up to start Mantra Meditation om Monday. I would say it has been a good first week. This morning my husband said I was glowing. Definitely a glow coming from an inner peace that I have glimpsed this week. I feel clear this week and content. I easily prepared fantastic foods and have felt as ease about finances, business and parenting. In spite of this weeks successes I do understand that this is barely the tip of the ice berg. I want to cultivate and nurture these feelings of peace, clarity and inner wisdom. I have had glimpses of these things all too often in my past just to watch them dissappear into the chaos of daily living, sometimes for years. I don't want to lose my bearings this time. I want to go deeper and deeper into my true self so that I can let it shine and do the work I was put here to do.
I look forward to next week and the coming weeks. Thank you for reading about my journey. This blog has already helped me to stay on track, I don't like to let people down and I'm learning more importantly not to let myself down. Until next week, breathe deep and enjoy the moment.
Good Night.
