group meditationwhilst at a meditation circle this evening i had a very odd experience.... i was very focused following the voice of the person who was taking the session... he was taking us on a journey to meet our inner selves. i suddenly had a very strong memory triggered by something that he said ...although i remained focused on what was being said ..i also became very aware that i was not alone .instead of meeting my inner self, it was my father that met me. no matter how hard i tried to continue with the meditation as it was being spoken, i could not move the image aside. i became very emotional.. never had anything like this happen before.

I metioned this the other day on another thread but something similar happened to me during an energy lesson where Meiah was present.
I was suddenly experiencing very vivid memories that i hadn't had before.
It was like they had been locked away and then opened by something. I have never experienced them since and i cannot even recal them but they were definately mine and almost like watching a film and from a third perspective.

I just love the way that people use new agey definitions as if they were statements of fact.
Sorry but it just pee's me off.

i was only using the terminology that was being used by the person running the meditiation...i have no idea what he actually expected us to see.... when i told him what i had seen ..i was told that i obviously was using too much energy trying to push the image away rather than just letting it go????????
what the eck does that mean?????
to me the image felt right....i was comfortable with it although it stirred alot of deep emotion.. the words spoken to me by the image of my dad.. were meaningful.... imagination or not ....eh? who knows??!!!!

I think when you meditate what yo usee is for you ... so how can that be wrong?
the image you have of you in your head may be different from what you get .. maybe you were in the right place to work out somethings for yourself.. maybe it was your dad talking maybe it was the part of you that deals with things about you?? who knows

Yes I agree with Evergreen.
I think that you saw what you needed to see and not what someone else expected you to see.
As for using to much energy it is not as odd as it sounds.
I have often noticed that the people in spiritualist churches who are desparate for a message are the last to recieve one.
I don't think that was the case with you Laura. I think you saw what you needed to work with.

thankyou for that... although useful to go to the group so that i have an allocated time for me.... i think i must just stay with what seems right and go with it rather than trying to follow.....
i guess i have always done things differently, it works for me ....so i guess i'll just keep with that....... if it feels right it can't be wrong!

I have been going to a teacher for twelve years now. Most of that time I was bored or disagreed with most of what was said, I new better didn't I.
Eventualy, with his guidence I had some moments of total clarity and in those moments learned what most would never learn in a life time.
So yes, You do have to stick with things.
Teachers are hard to find and In my own experience the best ones are the quirkiest ones.
I leaned that you cannot teach someone if they already know everything.
I was that someone by the way. Lesson learned.

sure .... i guess we are all guilty of that from time to time!!! but i think at the moment i feel more like a sponge.... soaking up all the information that i'm given analysing then discarding the bits that don't fit the puzzle for me....well not at the moment anyway....
it's just a bit frustrating ....i know i need to find something, but i don't know what....and my thirst for knowledge and answers feels unquenchable at the moment. ......that's why it's great talking to everyone on here, you don't see things from just one perspective.... you are open to more than just one possibility..... and for that ..i thankyou.

By the way, this is Kas and not Mel. I've nicked her laptop and can't be a***d to log out and back in again sorry.
Laura... the first thing i thought when reading this post was Have you moved in with Meiah?. You seem so similar sometimes and i think you are very much on the same wavelengh with each other. As for the sponge.. I think Laura is very good at soaking up chocolate. Especially in the Minstrel department. She hides them under her bobble hat.
