The Morning Light at Kopan Monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal
Hello & Happy Monday!
Although there is much to say about Nepal that I have incorporated into my life upon my arrival back into the States & ways I now live my life differently (yet to share here), I just watched the movie " "The Celestine Prophecy" (click on the purple to see the movie trailer) & it so impacted me. I have seen the movie many times,& have always enjoyed it. But now I can say I watched it from a knowing perspective....knowing what the hek they meant in all the insights, having felt the energy of being in what is referred to as "The Flow." where you are one with everything.
When I was in Pokhara at my Yoga Retreat, I did a meditation and entered into that state of being or mind.. Since I am new to meditation, it was quite a surprise. From the conversations I'd had with people after the experience, I understand many others who have meditated for years have yet to know it.
It is difficult to describe verbally, much less put it on paper (ie, internet). There is no sense of time as in future or past. There are absolutely no limits whatsoever. Anything is possible in the broadest sense. There is peace and love. There is a feeling of ease and freedom. You are connected to the entire universe, everyone & everything all at once. You feel the sheer vastness of the Universe & yet the intimacy of the connection.
In the movie, they said to live into the memory of that feeling once you have experienced it. That is my tip of the day. To go within & find your peace, albeit a challenge, when you are in the midst of your most trying times. Take a moment, & just breathe in.
The movie also said that when you look for the silver lining within bad experiences, it helps you to stay connected. I have always tried to look on the bright side of life's traumas, but now see the deeper meaning in doing so. The less time you can spend dwelling on the negative, as soon as possible finding the lesson in it, the easier you bounce back.
Here's looking at you (r light) , kid....
