Whew. Now that THAT'S all over..

I'm baaaaack! Thanks for waiting patiently for me. (If you were anxiously awaiting a new post, my sincere apologies). As you may or may not know, I officially tied the knot! Many people have asked ,"how does it feel?" I guess it doesn't feel any different.. the love we share is still there and burning brightly, if that's what they mean. The wedding was perfect. Not that it didn't have small glitches along the way, but overall it was just the way I had imagined. The sun shone, the music was beautiful, and best of all, I got to marry my best friend.

As I settle back down after all the excitement, I've been turning to meditation to center myself. I have never been able to really get into it in the past. But I had an amazing experience the other day. As I was laying down (for some reason I lay down to meditate) and focusing on my breath, I had this odd feeling. It was like I was sleeping, yet I could still hear the noise of the present world in the background.  I ceased to feel the the separateness of my body and the ground beneath me. It was as if I melted into everything. It was a beautiful feeling. I felt connected. That particular time was the longest I ever have been able to ignore my thoughts and outside stimuli. Since that experience, I have only been able to get glimpses of that bliss. For that's how it felt. There was no judgement, good or bad, only pure love.

Afterwards, I felt a deep calm wash over me, down to the tips of my toes. I'm guessing that my inner being is telling me mediation is probably something I should continue to practice. And, well, I guess it can't hurt. So I invite you to join me on a journey of practicing meditation. I'd love to hear your experiences. Successes and failures, share it all!
