Meditate your way up life!

This morning I had a revelation ...again... ( I don't know how or why this frequency of wonder and gratitude has increased drastically in the past few months...probably my guardian angel has finally woken up from sleep :) )

I get coaxed a lot to meditate before going to bed...concentrate on breathing...focus on a singular thought...imagine a reverie... all this to reduce stress...get peace of mind ...blah blah and things like that....and me reacting like when you are forced to drink turmeric milk on sick days ! But this fine morning, my senses got better of me and I groggily agreed to do some deep breathing and just how beautifully this act turned out for me!

I got up, opened my window pane wide and braced the early day breeze. So basically, I wake up to a view like this every day -

which is not bad at all of course and the amount and intensity of air I get is paramount...I wish I could wake up early and store all the fresh unadulterated oxygen in a tank and use it in my home for the rest of the day.... Ah, technology we are getting there!

I tried this visualizing meditation technique... Sit on the edge of the bed straight up, close your eyes and imagine where you want to be at this moment in time (no, not asleep in bed under a comforter).... like really imagine a place where you are standing right now...soak in all the details... and picture yourself there....and within 2 minutes of this deep concentration, I felt I was there already. This early morning breeze was coming all the way from the Mediterranean sea to the coastal edge of the cliff in a remote location in southern Spain! Voila ! I had finally made it after dreaming of being there all this while. I am finding it hard to explain in words how surreal that feeling was ...to be present in the moment ....  I googled some images which might fit the scene I was caught into and these are the closest find  - (Both pictures are courtesy google)

Okay, obviously the guy in the picture is not me.... and brief retouches to the above... replace the guy with me and me sitting with a picnic basket ! There you get the idea ...I envisioned every single ******ng detail and I could visualize and feel it so vividly, it came alive to me in the moment. From the buildings and the trees of the city to the calm and blue of the sea. It sounds cliched but you can be or feel however you want to 'be' or 'felt'.... you just have to believe it hard or strong enough to be true! Its cent percent valid and it works ...try it yourself ! and let me know too!

P.S. - I shared this idea and got some jocular mocking in return -

Me: You know, you can be and feel anything you want to. Just imagine it...like in the book The Secret !

Person : Sure! I imagined I am going to work today and for the rest of the days of the month. And my boss says please imagine your salary has been credited in your bank account at the end of the month.

Happy Believing !
