Just woke up and done with the daily morning chorus, sitting on my bed with piano music softly playing in the background. The morning was cool and with a gloomy sky. My sleep in the night was good but not excellent. Many thoughts went through my head while I was resting on my bed before getting up.
When our mind is empty, many thoughts will surface and grap your attention. This is the working of the mind. It has to be occupied all the time.Thoughts rushes in and changed very freuuently. Matters of work, love, health, family. Thousands and one thing. We are forever busy if we allow our mind to flow freely. Try to keep the mind discipline and quiet.There is a subtle uprising from your mind and it trys to open the mind for the thoughts to come in. Just get yourself to beware of this feeling.
When mind is empty, your energy will grow within you as you are preserving the source of energy in you. Every flickering thoughts will burn your energy and caused you to be tired and fatigue will sets in. If your mind is quiet, there is a deepening sense of silence that will grip you. You feel scare and at the same time feel escalated. Enjoy this escalation and your body will start to relax. The tenseness in your body will gradually go away. You must help it to relax and let go of your muscles. Let your body find its own level of total relaxation.
This is what we call the mind and body combination. The mind is quiet and the body in total relaxation. This moment of total ease will refresh you , give time for your body to repair itself and your mind will enjoy an enormous peaceful feeling. The piano music will be come clear to your ears and you will become more aware of intensity of each notes. The piano player playing the music have put his or her feelings in each note and he or she is trying to convey that feeling to you. If you are in deep meditation, you will be able to feel the feelings carry by each musical notes. You will immerse yourself into the music. Your mind will be focus and your body will be totally in relaxation.
You will feel that you are not in physical existence but will merged yourself with the music and the surroundings. You will have a feeling that "you are here but yet not here". Don't be scare, just enjoy these silence and peaceful moments. You will find that these simple moments are more enjoyable and enlightening.
There is a tendency for you to prolong these feeling of suspension and weightlessness but do come back to face the real life and do not slide into passiveness. Face life with a new vision and with vigor. Engaged in life chorus and do the things we need to do and be responsible.
Namaste.
