Erics Meditation Journal

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Nice practice Eric yet I usually have something to say. Sometimes people don’t want to hear it anyways, so I’m inspired by your creative approach. Sometimes I also lay in bed and practice a mantra which is suggested by a Saint I know. Then after awhile I sometimes sit up in bed and practice the Kriyas.

Today, my mind was bombarded with thoughts I didn't want to have. So much so, it was my straining my nervous system. I have discovered a new practice to help narrow awareness into a single point. That is, I attempt to take 10 inhalations and exhalations, focusing on nothing else but the experience of the breath. If my mind begins to drift, and I become engaged in other thoughts, I start over until 10 uninterrupted breaths are made.

I went for a jog in nature and thought...

As we are not yet capable as a Master, we are codependent on Earth as 3D incarnate. It means we must utilize our will in this playground in order to take control of the direction of our perceptions and attitudes. So this practice, jogging and breathing, meditating and narrowing my thoughts, was a way to utilize material world to shape interior world to reflect the desired state of consciousness.

I am noticing the energies are out of whack, both within and without. I saw a homeless woman cussing and ranting to nobody at the top of a hill. And then I saw a young father teaching his son to fish. Noticing both dynamics was an interesting experience.

I also spotted a near 4 ft tall gray crane in the bayou. He was majestic.

Since shaving my head people stare with uncertainty. A simple smile and wave usually offsets, since I find myself staring right back.
