Hi guys! 😀
After a weekend doing nothing and relaxing, on Monday I had the first meeting of this meditation course I told you about in another topic. I thought it would be nice to share my experience, also for you to give me some feedback what you think about it.
Okay, where do I start. ^^
This guy. xD He was soo hilarious. He was totally awesome. SUCH a loving person, full of Joy. As far as I can say it and see it in others, I felt it from the very beginning, this guy is just awesome. Totally full of JOY. I really don’t know what else to say about him, he just blew me away! xD
He said he doesn’t consider himself a master or enlightened. xD I thought it might be useful to mention that.I went there very excited, I just couldn’t wait to see what would be expecting me there. I just thought I try it out, it would be very foolish to let this opportunity go without checking it out, because meditation is really what I feel I have to learn about.
I had the very big question in mind, how much would his point of view, his opinion about religion, spirituality and so on fit mine? This was actually the point I was most worried about, that the course would just offer some way of meditation that.. doesn’t fit my current position in some way, or that’s just based on.. don’t know.. belief systems I don’t necessarily share.
Let me just tell you some few key words he used: He used “Light” a lot, “Love” a lot, he said everyone is creating his reality in every second, and I just thought “say manifesting and I fall in love with you, say manifesting!” and so he did. xD
He talked about happiness, laughter, joy, …. that everything comes from inside and everything actually starts inside (I actually hadn’t seen it exactly like this before).
We did a few starting meditations. Believe it or not, he started with matras (is that the correct English plural?). xD He shocked a few people with that, including me, but ….. oh my.
Opal always said I should try them out. I just didn’t dare to because in the dorms.. you know.. someone could hear me. ^^ We did two matras in the beginning. Both beginning with “Om”. He also said this was the sound of creation, a universal sound! (Oh my.) Both were in Sanskrit (we did another one in the end in English).
The first one was about loving God, and the second one was about joy. I’m totally serious.. I felt both of it, I felt the presence of God inside me with the first one, and I felt total joy in the second one. Oh my.. mantras are AWESOME!! 😆
He also said that Om was being heavily enriched during hundreds of years by masters and enlightened people. I’m not sure everyone understood that, but I certainly did. =) (Opal told me about it.)Later we did somewhat breathing meditations.. or something. xD Envisioning Joy and after that Godly Love coming into your heart chakra (I’m not sure if he called it that way, but well.. that was it. ;D) as you breathe in, and releasing the opposite through the crown chakra while breathing out. Oh my ….
I must say doing that, I didn’t have as strong results as I hoped, but I was very tired (it went from 8 to 9.30 pm) and also very hungry.. It was a little hard to stay focused.The course will go over the next 4 weeks, on Mondays and Thursdays. Unfortunately I can’t go there this thursday, there’s a ‘meeting’ and a party of everyone in my dormitory, and I just have to go there to meet some people and to get the latest information. I really wish it was on another day, but well …
I asked him about that after it was finished, also because I thought “I just HAVE to talk to him personally”. Oh boy…. he was sooo joyful and loving. He said it isn’t too bad, and maybe some opportunity will present itself. 😆 He said something like, “sometimes things happen and opportunities come”. xDD Hahaha I could have hugged him there.I have to add one more thing: One guy before me in the end asked him if this course will be done next year, and he replied that this is actually the FIRST TIME that this course is being done in my town, before it was always in the town where he comes from, and that he doesn’t know when it will be the next time, it will just happen when it happens.
So this happened the first time in my town 4 weeks after I began to study! 😆 *hugs to the universe*Alright, I think it’s needless to say at this point. xDD I went there very excited, not knowing what will expect me there, not knowing if it will be ‘OK’ enough to go there again, and well. xD Now I’m totally sad I can’t go there this Thursday. xDD
Alright you guys, please share your opinions about this and leave some comments. xD I can’t wait to hear what you think about this! 😀
Much Love to anyone! =)

Annan the NordicNovember 26, 2008 at 11:01 pm #11357UFOBelieveMemberHahahaha during my weekend offline you haven’t lost any little aspect of your most awesome humor!! xDDD 😆 😆 😆
I certainly hope that’s true! Well I’m not sure if I will be ready for something that big next year, but well, it sure would be totally freakin awesome!! xDD
(By the way, this town isn’t so small. ^^ After all it has a university. ;D)
November 26, 2008 at 11:22 pm #11358GTTOWNSENDMemberBrother Richi!
I am always glad to check in and see that you are here , the energy you bring is unmistakable! 😀
I am so glad you are able to feel that flow when meditating! That energy flow is exactly what drives me to meditate nightly , even after a 10 hour workday , and I have a 15 year old stepson and 4 year old daughter to always keep it lively , and , well , you get the picture! 😆
That Oneness with Om is something I cannot do without each evening , even if only for a few moments.
I am learning to feel that flow each Now moment.
Much Love , dear brother.November 29, 2008 at 1:45 am #11359GA LOVES YOUMemberUFO Believer,
I WISH I could take this class with you. The mantra…I truly believe it is a love note to GOD.
I agree with Annan, next year Mr. UFO Believer will be FULLER of LIGHT and LOVE than he will ever imagine.
Thank you for sharing your experience with this mediation course. I look forward to hearing more. So the class just started 4 weeks ago in your home town…LUCK or the UNIVERSE? I bet on the UNIVERSE…
Blessings and Love,
GA
November 29, 2008 at 7:56 am #11360OrissaMemberSo glad to hear that you enjoyed the first session UFOBelieve!
Here’s a couple of videos you might enjoy:
[youtube:11n2o9a6]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7ofPdEgsoQ[/youtube:11n2o9a6] the Om
[youtube:11n2o9a6]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Z9l_Ni428[/youtube:11n2o9a6] The Hu Song. This one really gets me vibrating when I relax into it.
Regarding saying mantras & being overheard. From what I’ve read I believe even saying/singing them to yourself in your head still works. If you have a private shower maybe that’s a place you could try out! 😆 Anyway looking forward to hearing more about your experiences.

Crank up the volume, Richi! With background chanting, your voice will blend in beautifully! You will also be surreptitiously blessing the dorms, ya know… you little renegade you!
My teacher encouraged us to blend our voices together, so no one voice was heard above the others, nor would anyone be a mouse and not hear their own beautiful vibration in the frequency mass that was created. So find some good mantras (lots have already been shared), turn ’em up real loud, and let it fill your being!
BTW, was that feeling God’s Love entering from outside you, or finding it welling up from within that you were meditating on?
Orissa, I haven’t done a Hu chant for a long time, thanks for finding that vid! It gets the love-juice going, the rasa, doesn’t it?
December 3, 2008 at 6:08 pm #11362UFOBelieveMemberHi Opal! =D
Welcome back to the internet! 😉 And thank you very much for your input.
The presence I felt during that mentra was indeed coming from within, it was a feeling inside my gut.. so to say. -
