“When we’re listening to what is, you can’t hear the past and you can’t hear the future ’cause they ain’t there…no cravings, no worries…” That was kind of eye-opening because it’s exactly like that, and I knew that, but I always thought it was because it took so much effort to concentrate when I meditate. So to realize that the past and future don’t exist in the moment is a very new concept for me. I liked your phrase, “…silence between the beats.”‘ Honestly, it kind of made me wonder what’s there. 🙂 I was surprised at how quiet they were afterwards. But thinking about it this afternoon I realized I’m pretty quiet and sluggish after meditating for 30-40 minutes, too… I don’t find that it energizes me. Is it supposed to?
🙂 it does what it does sugar. Sometimes people are so anxious all the time that the first experience is rest because they are tired to the bone. They run on anxiety’s treadmill for so long there is no awareness of how tired they are physically or emotionally or mentally. Even meditation sometimes is thought of as something they need to do and get checked iff the list. But actually it is the opposite. Its about not doing.
The wondering about odd things like what is there between the beats is a different awareness that you didn’t figure out. It was just there to be seen and yiu saw it. That is also what meditation is about. Not doing just looking
Yes, I always kind of thought of meditation as just another goal to accomplish for the day. But I think lately, because all of a sudden I have HOURS every weekday but one when Bran is at work, my gears are starting to unwind and I’m becoming more aware of the need to slow down to a crawl for a little while every day. I guess I need to soak up as much of this as I can before Stef and Co. get here the 22nd. My time will probably radically change yet again after that. I’m hungry for that peace and space and silence.
You are a gem.
LOL What’s that supposed to mean? Are you recognizing my panic??? 🙂
Ni. Just what I thought. I heard it between the beats
