Sometimes the conditions are just rite-we are relatively calm, we r not so restless, the environment is quiet and undisturbing, there may be peaceful 'interiorizing' sound;
and we can hear our breath easily and practice our mantra without interference.

I woke to the 'pitter' patter of rain drops this morning and had such a meditation.

Sometimes I just have to remind myself there is a time we must make for our spirit calling. It is easy to get so lost in perceived duties and desires that keep us busy in worldly activities and take us away from our souls longing for liberation.

I think that stands true for everyone, bar a few very lucky ones

Sometimes our own problems need solving before we are able to move forward in our sadhana. We may be brought face to face with our karmic background for certain awarenesses. At those times we can remind ourselves to practice the presence that at times weakens over a prolonged period.

Sometimes it is important to be with people who are different than you because they may often tell you things about yourself you are unaware of and this may help you improve yourself. As long as their energy does not also drain you.

Sometimes it’s better to lose a little to gain much more. We can often see this in relationships. If letting them go helps us in the long run - as it often does because new people enter our lives - it is better to progress further with a little temporary loss.

Sometimes I feel real good waking up and just want to tell spirit that snd begin meditation and continue the good feelings from the nite before and sleeping.

Once in a blue moon Im sitting somewhere -  this time in the presence of Amma - although it can be alone or in any other environment that has the power to awaken you -and suddenly Im momentarily taken out of the prison of my own mind and consciousness and i feel liberated from myself. It is so refreshing because it is like walking out of a prison cell into the beautiful sunlight you have not seen in years. There is a great gratitude for such liberating moments and they give us a totally different perspective on what is happening to us in our life and we are able to respond to our life circumstances and the people in our life quite differently.

Yea there are moments in our life when we can let go of ourselves and see the significant people places and things in our lives . The candle light glowing along the way. Sometimes I think we are shook up just a bit so we can experience outside the circumference of our own self imposed limitations and boundaries.
