Steve,
Thanks for getting me back into a nightly routine with meditation. Seriously. I still struggle with screen addiction and kicking myself off the electronics prior to bed. But when I do, and I meditate- I find that world of interiorization to be one of the most majestic and beautiful experiences ever. Why do I resist so often? I suppose I am still a child. Well I had a really brief, spontaneous, but amazing experience in meditation last night.
I heard and felt the sounds of whales. With closed eyes it felt like I was mentally singing with other whales. I felt the depths of the ocean and the longing of sound pushed out from my Being. I could sense these giant forms moving in the ocean with my 'minds eye.' I haven't experienced anything quite like it in a fully awake state like that.
It's odd too because I was struggling with my meditation yesterday. I had to stop and walk around- and it wasn't until the end when I decided to go from sitting to laying on my back did the experience occur.
Well... I just want to say, thank you. You don't realize it- but your prompt Sunday night kick started something I had been mentally sitting on for far too long.
"The animal totem whale is a symbol of intuition and awareness that guide individuals to make the best decisions and move forward with ease and confidence. It is a good luck talisman for fine-tuning intuition and expanding consciousness beyond the physical world. The whale totem teaches individuals about listening to their inner voice, understanding the impact of emotions on their everyday life, and following their own truth. It is a helpful symbol for protection, personal transformation, and enhancement of psychic abilities. Those who have the whale as their animal totem are nurturers and go-getters who understand there is more to life than meets the eye. The whale totem provides intense awareness of things beyond this realm."
