Hey, sorry that the tomorrow turned into a week! Been a busy time. Im not sure how to describe the nature of my journey, it seems to keep changing. It started because i wanted to understand myself and my world better, and explain my experiences. I've had experiences that i could never explain since i was old to enough to remember. And now its more about living true to myself and enjoying as much life, love and happiness as possible.
In regards to the meditation, particularly experiencing the Oneness, a great catalyst for that was learning flower essences. I knew nothing about flower essences before i studied them as a part of my naturopathy course. I was pretty skeptical about the whole concept and homeopathic theory in general. For my first assignment i had to make an essence from a flower i chose and then monitor my feelings, thoughts etc for the following 3 weeks. When i was searching for the right flower i realised that each plant i came across had a distinct energy. This energy and consiousness was so subtle but obvious, it was like a tangible feeling, or like a knowing. I felt that i could feel/listen/share consciousness with these plants. Before this exercise i hadnt really felt anything from plants before, and in truth i probably hadnt ever really even paid enough attention to notice before. But after that initial experience it was like the whole world literally came alive around me, and i couldnt help be aware of all the life and connection around me whenever i chose to tune into it. It really changed my life and helped me feel the energy from everything around me, even things i previously viewed as irrevelant such as a rock or piece of plastic. I started meditating much more frequently after this, particularly doing Earth and Moon grounding as well as chakral meditations.
Some books have really helped as well. I experienced my first 'I AM' meditation while i was about half way through reading the 'New Earth'.
How about you?
