Lots of odd little synchronicities seem to come up each day, for instance: I was walking up a store at lunch and thought about a friend's antique bells how lovely they were, how I admired them, as then just as I walked in, there was a woman trying out different bells. Or, I was getting ready for work and I wondered to myself what time is it? and then answered myself 6:20, just before checking my phone to find it was indeed 6:20. I have also guessed the time my coworker (whose arrival time fluctuates) will arrive, to the minute two days in a row, oddly, it was the same time both days.
It seems like it is all a function of slowing down and just taking more in than you put out. Themes seem to emerge each day, or every few days. The same idea will come up with abnormal frequency. Of course I am paying such close attention and expecting to find meaning everywhere, so that accounts for part of it, but I also know that there is a lot more going on than we are aware of. While out walking this evening, I thought that no one really cares about secrets anymore. You can find out about things that people in centuries past would have been killed for knowing in a few minutes on the internet and no one cares. We are living in such an odd time where we have everything and value almost nothing. Slowing down has made so many things seem more precious and important.
I started branching out and looking at sites I have never heard of for guided meditations and found THIS one. Being an insane lover of all things fragrant, it seemed a perfect fit, and I could hardly decide which one to do. (For those of you reading who have not had a lot of meditation experience, The Tree would be a great one to try! It exists in myriad variations, which are all essentially the same and is beautiful!) I finally decided upon the Awareness Meditation. Wow. The fastest 12 minutes of my life... She is wonderful. I decided to do another, the Linking with Cosmic Light meditation. A difficult but energizing meditation. I cannot wait to do more of her meditations!
