It's to the left, above my shoulder, this presence I feel after I've maintained an hour long practice for a significant chunk of time. It's to the soul, what the ego is to the self, or so I've read. This energy that feels like a self, but also something much stronger and purer.
It's the reason I do this, to have a sense of direction, power and connection. And now it's the reason I maintain this practice.
This morning I had such a strong sense of how regular, long meditation practice, at least an hour a day every morning makes of my body a kind of antenna. I feel connected to this kind of frequency and it keeps me on the right path. All I have to do is rest in it and it penetrates my mind.
But then what?, says the inchworm when it reaches the top of the blade of grass.
To just be. To be the wisdom that shines from within. To help other recognize that wisdom in themselves. To allow ordinary bad habits dry up, and ordinary good habits to glow the extraordinary..
To be rich in this energy and power.
