Abstract

arose and tried to put them aside, imagining them going out a door to ‘recess’ as if they were elementary school children, wild and free. But they didn’t need to dominate me. They kept coming, and I was swept up into the appeal of a few of them. But I managed to finally find a quiet and still space inside the area of my mind that felt unaffected by them. I closed the door on them, able to still see them flailing around outside.Every exhale made me feel taller and I found myself getting higher and higher, looking down at the thoughts that were further and further away.Then I was truly at peace.Without knowing why or how, I began spinning. It surprised me. Or, maybe I should say that something around me was spinning — like a galaxy or like the Earth. It was spinning left to right. At first it scared me, but I surrendered as I knew that nothing inside my mind can hurt me. I spun and spun, dizzyingly fast, and then it began to slow down.</

Our minds are full of endless possibility

I thought someone else could benefit from my journal entry about what happened in meditation today. I’ve experienced things now that make it clear that our minds are boundless and beautiful. And I know for sure that I’ve only touched the surface of possibility. There is no reason why anyone else can’t do the same.

As always in meditation, it took some moments to calm my thoughts. I became aware of each thought as it arose and tried to put them aside, imagining them going out a door to ‘recess’ as if they were elementary school children, wild and free. But they didn’t need to dominate me. They kept coming, and I was swept up into the appeal of a few of them. But I managed to finally find a quiet and still space inside the area of my mind that felt unaffected by them. I closed the door on them, able to still see them flailing around outside.

Every exhale made me feel taller and I found myself getting higher and higher, looking down at the thoughts that were further and further away.

Then I was truly at peace.
