Love And Meditation
So far I have discovered "Levels Of Love"
.
There may be more but I only now of these 4 levels.
However, there is a level in between Universal Love and God Love which I will share with you from personal experience.
I have been meditating (properly) since around 1977. In all that time, my meditations have been rather bland.
Nothing rang my bell - as they say.
My Death Experience
In may 2023 I fell over and cracked my skull rather severely. All of the doctors at the hospital decided that I would die (so I was later told by one of my attending nurses). Some betted I would die and none betted I would live.
My ( "After My Death"
) story summary is here if you are interested.
My brain was like a dry sponge because I had partial amnesia until around late December 2023. Then it suddenly cleared up.
FINALLY - The Story.
Anyway, I have continued to do broken meditation between the accident and now (March 2024) and one day recently I was meditating with my wife and we were doing the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra.
Suddenly I could feel this massive light (energy) erupting from my chest.
The Japanese word for delicious is Oi-Shi. Except in Japanese you draw out the first half of the word and make it more guttural when it is really really delicious.
This energy was exquisitely Oi-Shi.
Just to clarify something. When I died and I encountered "that" light on the other side, it was warm, intelligent and radiated love in abundance.
"That" light is completely different from the light (energy) I recently experienced while meditating with my wife. It is so much more intense and has a depth beyond comprehension.
I suspect that the Love Energy I felt with my wife is only the beginning and it would have been nice if I could have felt this many years ago but I suspect that the hubris of youth may have interfered with my destiny.
Even when we try so hard not to be arrogant, we can usually look back on our life and see just how arrogant we were. Sad but true.
The Experience
I will tell you that the Experience of this energy was so powerful that it completely moved me to tears and the love I felt for my wife erupted like a super-volcano from my heart.
You also need to know that I have loved my wife dearly since the very first day we met, so "that love" for my wife and "this love" are 2 completely different things.
One is sweet like the ice cream cone and the other is super delicious - like the ice cream.
I tell you this story because this is just 1 example of what is possible and what you may also experience.
2 TIPS:
I suspect that the real secret behind this is "Synchronized Energy"
.
This is a YouTube video with a 10 second timer so that you can listen and breath "IN" and "OUT" at the same time as others in your group.
The "10 Second Meditation Ping"
will help you synchronize your breathing whether you are alone or with your partner or family or even if you are in a group.
How to use?
- Ping == Breathe in (inhale)
- Ping == Breath out (exhale)
- Repeat +++
There is also a "15 Second meditation ping"
for those who are more advanced.
Breathing techniques are so very important for deeper meditation. In fact there is a whole series of breathing techniques called "Pranayama"
Breathing.
TIP 2:
The Love must be genuine.
