Bear Witness, Speak Truth

My meditations have been unusually deep and potent as of late. Unlike in the past where my mind would wander awhile before gradually settling down - lately my awareness has been pulled as if by a powerful magnetic attraction into an intense state of presence almost immediately the moment I sit and close my eyes. And that intensity doesn’t wane for the two hours for which I sit. This is unusual for me, as I mentioned, because I’m used to a more gradual ebb and flow of awareness rather than being rooted in this manner.

Each meditation this past week has been entirely different - each with its own unique theme. It almost feels as if they are lessons from my subconscious mind (or superconscious mind, depending on how you want to look at it). I have found it fascinating to observe.

One of my recent meditations began with a sinking feeling - as if I were being pulled into some very dark depths within myself.
