I meditate. My meditation practice began naturally. As naturally as breathing. As a teen when I was completely alone, I wound find myself wandering aimlessly around the room while my thoughts naturally slowed. I wound find an object in the room and look directly at it while the thoughts drained out of me like water flowing down a drain. I’d find a comfy place, sit down, my eyes would close. I would hear the sounds around me, focusing on my attention on them and then I’d be enveloped by darkness. A complete darkness, an emptiness. Not a negative emptiness, a blissful, serene quietness that filled me with a gratitude and joy for living.

I’ve continued to meditate and later investigated a little yoga, read some of the books by masters and followed a teacher for decades. I have never stopped meditating. I’ve incorporated some mindful meditation techniques. I’ve navel gazed, and gone on retreats. In short I’ve never stopped learning.

It’s time for me to stop and make sense of my experiences and what I’ve learned. I decided a blog would be a good way to gather my thoughts and offer my observations. I sincerely hope this helps. I know it will help me, and I hope it will be meaningful to others.

Namaste,

Obimaya
