21 Day Meditation: Round 6 Day 1

 

Photo by author... 

1/11/24 I reread the first 33 pages of Debbra Lupien's book, The Path to Hearing Angels and Guides, in preparation for the 6th round of the 21 Day Meditation. I picked up on messages as if it was the first time I had read it. It was very inspirational.

As usual, I find myself procrastinating just a little bit. Get my coffee, stoke the fire, make sure Dan doesn't need me to help him with anything. Maybe because I know that once I sit down and get focused, my focus is razor sharp. I forget to do everything else. I love being in the zone and am incredibly grateful that I have time now to connect, manifest, meditate and write freely. It has become a daily routine that I cherish. I live a magical life for which I am grateful. 

Before I set the timer, I decided to Read Day 1 in the book. Pages 35 - 38. I am glad that I did, I needed a little laughter. I am getting a little bit too serious. Hmmm, imagine that? Now that I am writing 3-5 or more days a week, I have a routine. I take lots of pictures. I refer to them before I write. I think of a topic based on the pictures and I start to write. While writing, I ask my team to help me. I ask them what they want to add or change. The story becomes a team effort, it flows from my heart out onto the page. I don't call it meditation, though it is in a way. So why does this feel different? 

This is my 6th round of doing the 21-Day Meditation with the group. I have changed up the way I do it every single time I have tuned in. I sat in my comfortable chair by the window. I intended to meditate while sleeping, which was my plan for this round. I got nothing last night, though. I wrote on paper while meditating. Once I laid on the floor and wrote afterwards. 

So, what feels right for this round? I have the laptop in front of me, I am sitting at the table, the fire is lit and I am comfortable. My fingers know the keys well. I pulled up a new page in my blog. I titled it, wrote from my heart. I read the opening Prayer. I hunted for the timer on my phone, because I moved it after I retired in April, it was not where I thought it would be. I don't need that darn alarm anymore! Right? Wrong, I need it today. I set the timer and... the dog wanted out, OOPS!

Ok, reset the timer and go!


I asked for an image. A black swirl arrived. No image as of yet. An abyss. I am asked to go deeper. Breathe. Let go and trust. Let your fingers type. They know where the keys are. Right? I am hitting two keys at a time. I can feel them. Breath. relaxe. Allow. Slow down. Find your way. Breath, 


My breathing is sporadic. I hold my breath. I hear, Breathe. Allow. slow down. Go deeper. I feel vibrations in my arms, my thighs and my back as I am asked to release the tension I feel there. I ask for an image once again. Oops, I was distracted... (I returned my focus to my breathing)


Deep breath. It's time to work without an image. Oh. Ok. Listen, Feel. Trust. Breathe with purpose, in, out, breath. Go deeper, let go. Find the rhythm. 


An image will come in time. For today, breathe, let go and trust! We are going deeper. 


The dark circle is shifting. A pond with ripples or an eye with eyelashes appears.  Breath, allow, connect... I am grateful for the ripple and the Eye. 


The timer went off. 


Oh my, typing with my eyes closed was hard. I am not going to lie. I was given permission to edit, so I will before I share. Though it was hard, I feel that it is exactly what I need to do, to go deeper. I remember one time I was given a whale in the deep sea. I don't remember if that was on day one or not. I may need to go back and check the dates and the information. I feel as though reviewing the past rounds must wait. This is a new round and must stand on its own for now. 


I just finished editing the crazy typing errors. What I found interesting, is that spellcheck figured out some of the errors. However, some of them, I needed to really focus on, to decipher. Since I had shifted my left hand to the right, I was able to slowly figure out what the words were. Interestingly, because I had been asked to type them, I did not remember exactly what I had intended to type.  When I remembered to ask my team to remind me what the words were, I was able to solve the puzzle faster. In fact I thought of it as a puzzle while I was putting my left hand, one key to the right to figure out which keys I was trying to hit. How fun. I guess I needed to play a fun game today, too! 


 I would say that today's meditation was successful. I am absolutely ready to go deeper. 


Closing prayer from the book. 


Please note: The picture was one I took weeks ago. It reminded me of what I saw today, during the meditation.
