So I started the Meditation Challenge last night, and didn't really get anywhere. I tried to listen to SJ Tucker's music to zone out to and try to ground, center and clear my mind, but I kept being distracted by little things, or noticed that I didn't like the song that was on for the purpose of meditating, etc. Suffice it to say I lasted about 3 minutes and then ended up giving up and just going to sleep. I had a dream, which I don't really remember now, but it was vivid.
Tonight I tried again. This time, I turned off the lights, lit candles and put on a yoga/meditation cd that had nature sounds in it, and I did have sustained meditation for at least 30 minutes. I still don't really see anything like in the movies when people have meditation trances and they physically see themselves in a different place interacting with people or animals or anything like they were really there. There was no desert, no First Slayer, no message for me. I did however get the sensation of flying, the brief visual idea of being in the valley between two mountain ranges, seeing the forests growing there and then I had an aerial view from above of what looked like the same area, but then seemed to be more of a grand canyon feel, of earth eroded by water flowing through it over the millenia. Then I was back to blackness and random sensations of rocking like in water. Then I saw a lion. It looked me right in the eyes, roared, shook it's mane and then I resurfaced in my bedroom.
Not sure what it all means, but it's progress. I didn't really see myself at all, didn't get any real messages that I could figure out, but hey, it didn't finish within 2 minutes of starting, and I got some good sensations and a few pictures. So that's good enough for me for the second time around.
Night all!
