this is it

Not a particularly disciplined meditation this morning. Feeling drained from that time of the month. Ben woke up early. Just stood really. But near the end of it, that vein in my brain opened up and I felt that oxytocin high, which I know from breastfeeding and sex and I guess labour. And I got it. This is what is happening. I feel calm. I feel connected and trusting of the world and the universe. This is the transformation. A commitment to this everyday would transform my brain and my heart and my life. That's why meditation is transformative.

And weirdly woman are more able to recognize it than men, since we have more bonding experiences.

But yes, this is it.
