WOW

What a good day. The birds were singing and the sun was shining and I had the afternoon off from work. What a great oppurtunity to do class exercises and Blog. well the meditation exercise was very different today and I think in a very good way. As you all know I am a Massage Therapist and today I may have cheated a little bit but it was very interesting. I set up my cd in my massage room at my house and got very comfortable on my massage table and let the cd play. I had no problem relaxing and my ability to visualize and focus was uncharacteristically very good. Infact when the cd was done I decided to just stay still and continue relaxing, wow, I was there for 45 minutes and when I became conscious again was I ever zoned out. I was so well relaxed that I really did not care if I did any school work or not, so I didnt for about 2 hours. What a great afternoon it was, and what a wonderful feeling it was for awhile after the exercise.
The statement that,"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” simply states the very obvious. If you have not been there how can you give directions and explanations of what you will experience or how can you discuss what they go through when they go there. Always practice what you teach or preach and as always its about progress not perfection!
