recognize, realize, release, receive

I was sitting by myself on a reclining chair watching the visualizer on the wall; meditating. I was breathing in all the energy, all the love; breathing out all the negativity and all the pain I keep locked up in my imaginary world. Every breath was a release and I felt my soul reaching reaching reaching to my highest potential. Connection with myself - my highest potential. Placing all my attention on what this feels like not just in my mind; but in my chest, in my shoulders, in my neck, on my feet. I kept sitting there, by myself, in the most comfortable state of contentment.

I went to the bathroom to pee. I washed my hands (water is such a gift of life) and I dryed them off (how lucky I am to be able to FEEL). I looked in the mirror and was hit with a wave of emotions. I love what I see. How could I be so blind? I love me. And I love you because I love me. I went back to lay on the floor, to breathe again, to share this feeling in the presence of great people.

They say that once you reach peace in aloneness you can never be lonely. You can stop reaching for connection with [attention from] others when the connection with [attention from] yourself is enough. This is a powerful idea and feeling that I challenge everyone to explore for themselves.

Radiohead! I will love you forever
