Mood: Relaxed
So, last night Oprah and Deepak’s 21 day meditation challenge finally started
and I was super ecstatic over the weekend! I mean, I have done meditation
before at my old gym – they only offered a Sunday morning session… so I always
seemed to fall asleep from being so relaxed with the instructor’s soothing
voice. I guess I never fully grasped meditation properly because last night was
AMAZING!
Well, so I pressed play and instantly
closed my eyes getting completely ready for the meditation only to realize a
couple of minutes in that it was not yet necessary. But it took me out of my
physical space and into an unknown world with just Oprah talking to me, and the
Deepak.
Yes, my mind was not entirely focused for
the whole time, but as advised by Deepak, repeating the mantra helped bring me
back into controlling my mind.
At one point, I was so relaxed that I felt
like I could not feel my own body, as if my soul had been uplifted from me.
Then the worst part happened, the bell at the end …
I was so calm and collected and the DONG
and I felt my body instantly wake. I’m not too sure how to explain that feeling
… but it was like the bell was calling for my soul to return to my body, weird
analogy…
I have heard that it is best to meditate in
the morning, and it would be as Deepak gives you a brief on what you can focus
on for the day. But unfortunately the meditation runs with the US time, so we
only get access to the meditations later in the day.
But it’s a nice way to relax before bed
time?
AND what’s awesome is, it’s not too late to
sign up now!! You can still sign up, you can have a maximum of 5 days being
behind with the meditation!
