There is no better way I know of to get out of the way than to make the way to another without thoughts of one's own needs. When sending healing thoughts, of health or spirit, embracing someone in some other dimension that only love and caring can inhabit, the "persona" has no place there, at least in <br />my experience.<br /><br />I sit quietly, some times laying in bed I just think about the trials the one I am focusing on may be going through and how a gentle thought, a wish for better and complete rest from the storm may be brought through a Universe that holds goodness above evil, in spite of what we may think at <br />times. And I open my breast as wide as I can and take deep breaths and send my spirit to the one who needs an anchor to the wind. It may not be possible <br />according to him to do any good because the self is there, but without the self there won't be either intent or action as I believe that no energy is <br />ever wasted or dispersed without purpose, and while the self doesn't necessarily represent the ego, it helps to concentrate on the message and forget the messenger. I learned a long time ago to do this by quietly seeing <br />the words appear in my mind, while painting each phrase with my imagination and projecting it to the one I am thinking of.<br /><br />"Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;<br />Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;<br />Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font:<br />The firefly wakens: waken thou with me.<br /><br />Now droops the milkwhite peacock like a ghost,<br />And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.<br /><br />Now lies the Earth all Danae to the stars,<br />And all thy heart lies open unto me.<br /><br />Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves<br />A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me.<br /><br />Now folds the lily all her sweetness up,<br />And slips into the bosom of the lake:<br />So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip<br />Into my bosom and be lost in me."<br /><br />Alfred, Lord Tennyson<br /><br /><br />It may not be a "silent mind" meditation but it certainly works for me and the peace I feel after resting there I am sure somehow it reaches those I love. I certainly hope it reaches you and Sophie.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-4256904739304489662011-02-26T20:47:07.298-08:002011-02-26T20:47:07.298-08:00you constantly make me want to be a better person ...you constantly make me want to be a better person and also to advocate for my own messed up brain wiring.
