“I see sisters prostituting and I don’t like city streets so I’m a heading for the countryside where the air is fresh and sweet, to get some cool meditation.” (Third World)
Communication with a reality that goes beyond the typically limited experience of consciousness requires that consciousness be transformed in some way. Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness.
Believe me, these words feel better on the inside than from the outside. Using meditation to get high, instead of drugs or drink is a tad unconventional – but it’s clean and free. And high you must get if you’re to write something more interesting than a shopping list.
If you’re serious about writing, you should have before you some method of recording your words. If not – why you reading this?
Breathing through your head is quite an effective meditation. Suck in a big breath of air, but instead of putting it into your lungs, direct it upwards and let it curl around the inside of your skull like a frosty breeze. Let it rush inside your forehead and wash those thoughts – up, back, down and out of your head. As you breathe out feel those thoughts shoot out of your neck, down your spine out through the base of your body (yep – that’s what I mean – shoot them out your ass like them is bad monkeys). Continue to do this until you start to feel light headed.
Light is what you need. Thoughts can be real heavy and without them you will find yourself floating away like a taraxacum’s paroxysm (yeah – I know – this is a test – fart that bad monkey right out).
Keep breathing.
Ever lighter.
Float up.
Flying.
Far.
.
Stay in this feeling and write.
Got it!! where have you been missing by the way.

I have been here in York, but reality is intruding in on my reading and writing time. For example – I spent the afternoon clearing out the garage. Boy if you could see the pile of stuff that is about to go to the recycling centre! What you doing with yourself this weekend, Zigyasa? (I almost called you Jyoti then!)

Ah, you caught me out! I was trying to make people think that they were entering some higher plane of consciousness, when really – all they were doing was getting more oxygen to the brain. If you ever feel depressed, try breathing deeply for a couple of minutes – its a wonderful tonic! 😀
Thanks for dropping by Alina. I just popped by your blog and found that you are a talented artist. 🙂

I’m basing the titles on those in a book called ‘1001 ideas that Changed the World’ and right now I’m on 1,500 BCE when a lot of the good idea came from India. I guess we’ll have to wait a couple of thousand years before ‘the west’ thinks up anything worthwhile. 😀

My feet took me on walk by the river Ouse – I took the long way home from work and finally arrived here at 8pm, hungry and yet too tired to cook. Life has taken me to many places – I hope to write a big, fat hairy blog about them so I’ll keep you in suspenders until then. 😉 At least that’ll put a smile on your man’s face! 😀
Culinary school? Cook me a meal and send it to me by express courier – I’m sooooo hungry, Alina!! Mercy!

I have a painting that I started years ago, little tiny bit by little bit. I was looking at it today, uninspired and restless, when I realised that I could take it forward without having to keep everything that it was the same. So now it has blue and peach and pink where before it was just green and brown!
Food is a delightful thing that is full of joy, go find something that will make standing up worth every little bit of effort!

I already love your profile photograph and if I wanted to be anyone else it would be with that face. I’m not so enamoured with sepia as a colour scheme – it makes me feel sad and nostalgic. Anarchism? Hmm – not so much. Anna Kiss ‘Em – much more so. 🙂
I would just add some colour – maybe a bunch of vibrantly coloured flowers sticking out of the keyboard to add contrast and signal intent. And then I would add killer content – that means to write stuff that I really like and tag it so that it attracts people that really like me.
Having said that – you are absolutely great the way you are – that’s why I follow you and read your posts and smile when I see your face pop up on my feed.
Have a beautiful day and talk to me soon and often. 🙂
