And then in meditation it would totally consume me but my eagerness to 'breakthrough' or have some epiphany would always distract me. Guru said "Expectation leads to disappointment" and in my case he was right. I would be on the verge of something and then realise it and get excited and poof! it was gone. <br />The pressure in my forehead became very strong. it would often sweep my mind clean of all thoughts and I would end up in a sort of blissful stupor. I would just barely be able to focus on a task as simple as ordering food. Sometimes it felt like my mind had expanded to the size of the whole room and everyone was engulfed in it as well. It makes me think of "Autobiography of a Yogi". I can't remember it exactly but he discusses how thoughts are frequencies and the stronger the frequency the more it can affect people around us. Really makes ya think :)Enjoying Doing Cartwheelshttp://(optional)noreply@blogger.com
