Rush of Bliss.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Hi Deepak, I started meditating about 7 months ago and I have felt and experienced positive changes -yet don’t quite understand what is happening to me. I hope you can enlighten:) When I begin deep conscious breathing and get to the point of the ” gap” I literally burst into smiling – I feel a rush of bliss. Sometimes I see an eye which is blinking at me or looking at me- reminds me of our cats- just quietly watching. I’ve also felt a “presence” as if someone was supporting me at my spine and at my shoulder. A few times while just waking up – eyes still closed- I’ve seen a tunnel with a keyhole at the end- it is light and I see a rapid sequence of people and places I don’t recognize- I’m Obviously not dying or having a life review. Can you help me understand? I have gained such insight and well-being during these months! Thank you!
Response:
All that is important in this experience is the upsurge of bliss – the happiness that comes from contacting your true self in the gap. The images and presences are not significant, and you do not need to give them any attention. Once you realize you aren’t thinking the mantra, gently return your attention to it.
Love,
Deepak
