Head full of stuff? NO MIND!

A quick way to unburden after a busy day!

Head full of stuff? NO MIND!

Sweetie Pie

I know what addiction is. Many years ago it used to be cigarettes. Now the monster has had an identity change and returned as sugar.

You may say, there is nothing wrong with sugar craving, nothing wrong with an odd treat. Now, what is right, dealing with fatigue by going for a walk or eating a candy to pick me up? Celebrating summer by feeling the sun on my skin & walking barefoot or by having a huge ice cream? Looking closely into nasty gnawing feelings or eating a whole pack of profiteroles?

Up Up Up

Propped against the sturdy Glastonbury Tor, I slowly unwrap myself from a cocoon of a brief meditation on the top of this mystical hill in South West England. I just about come out and drop back again. It’s gooey like hot caramel. My body is trembling a little. A very earthy feeling comes, tinged with wind and sounds all around.

A man giving a lecture about the Holy Grail, birds, bum is cold against the stone, the foot gone to sleep, a choir of birds, a child chirping in Russian, wind against my face, so happy I wore my hood, breath in and out... It’s similar to the state when sleep is no more, but awakening has not fully come yet. Similar, but enriched with hearing, feeling and being here and now. I open my eyes, vibrant blue and green around. Something comes up from inside, around solar plexus, up up up and hahahaha becomes a rolling laughter! Out loud! Giggling and laughing, loud and not so loud! It just bursts out, I am simply helping along by letting my body laugh. It feels so normal and natural to laugh like that, with no apparent reason. Thanks to Osho, I can now allow this joy to become a free laughter even though people around might be freaked out by it.

Talking about freaked out – I’ve got audience! A thin man in his sixties, piercing blue eyes, binoculars around his neck, is tucked against the wind in the corner of the Tor next to me.

“May I ask what’s been happening to you?” he inquires as soon as I look at him.

A bird's song

This morning a bird’s song woke me up. For the first time in my life. Birds are singing, but I don’t normally hear them. Today they were also accompanying me in the morning meditation, and this song brought waves and surges of love coming in and out of my heart. This sounds too wishy-washy I know, but hey it is electrifying to feel how many amazing people are around, people I sometime don’t notice because my mind occupies me. So, thank you. Lots of love to you.
