Altered state of change
Euphoric feeling of peacefulness
and power
Empowering to know
All is well
I am finally home
have arrived ~~
My higher self there to
greet me and welcome me
When was I lost?
Why has it taken me
all these years to realize
Being lost is not important …
finding my way back
to myself
supercedes all
God made me to evolve into
greatness and personal power
Why I got sidetracked
no longer important

OM or AUM is the most important and significant word of Mantra tradition. It is considered as the root mantra of all mantra. In a majority of Mantra, you will find OM.
OM is the most often chanted sound among all the sacred sounds on earth. This sound is considered as the sound of the existence.
Until a couple of weeks ago, I just could not get into the art/gift of meditation.
Last year, I “practiced” daily for several months, and I just could not “feel it!“. Frustrated … I stopped the ongoing practice.
This changed a couple of weeks ago. I attended to a restorative retreat in the beautiful location of Ojai, California. After an exercise with a group of 45 women … I felt it, I heard it, and it was tangible enough, the sensation was palpable! An amazing experience is an understatement for me! This experience not only reverberated throughout the room from one end to the other, it vibrated in and through every cell in my being — a big WOW!
Ahhh, it was wonderful!!

I don’t think that you are to “feel” as much as “be”. . .

What a beautiful video. I have had difficulty myself with focusing on meditation – however meditating in a group, sharing the energy, always transports me…….must have been glorious in Ojai. Wonderful poem about coming home to oneself, which is what our journey is all about. Great post!

In those special moments when you connect with the higher power it is simply transcendent. It does take practice, and like any other ability, we master them at different speeds. Shedding the distractions of the day and clearing the mind to make this connection is definitely a skill worth dedicating your time to learning. Thank you for being an inspiration!
