Esther-day

My meditation yesterday: 9:30 am (30 minutes), afternoon (20 minutes)

Today: 11:45 am (30 minutes)

Today´s mid-morning meditation took me into that lovely place of pure love and energy again, although I got there only in the end of the 30-minute meditation and only stayed there for a little while. Nevertheless, it was lovely. The meditation was a bit restless until, all of a sudden, I felt like I sank and rose at the same time. I felt a tingling sensation and felt excited and calm simultaneously. Amazing!

....

Last night I had a friend over and it was a lot of fun. We discussed our life situations and our need for change and finding out who we really are. She has been very successful in her career as a researcher but is seriously burned-out and considering  a big life change.

After she left, I watched a bit the Esther and Jerry Hicks film Abraham. The Secret Behind Secret. The film made me feel really good and just before I fell asleep I entered into a blissful state of happiness, love and gratitude and got tears in my eyes. I slept well, waking up only once to get back to sleep instantly and woke up only 11 am! OK - I did go to bed late (1:30 am) but still. I have been sleeping a lot recently and am wondering if I am catching up sleep for all those years of sleep deprivation.

I am watching the Hicks film again this morning.  

I do not know what people think about the Hicks and their Abraham experience but I am hooked by Esther Hicks. I love her! I love listening to her! I do not care whether or not it is Abraham or Esther that really speaks because her words make so much sense and seem to answer to every question that I have. True - I do not seem to apply her teachings (aligning my vibrations with the Source energy) very well, so far, but I totally believe what she says.

In the film Esther talks about meditation as a way to quiet the  resistant intentions that plague our minds and prevent us from manifesting - or, rather, allowing, what we really want.

This is what she says about why meditation is so important: 

It is easier to have no thought than it is to have pure positive thoughts. We would rather that you would be in a state of appreciation than in a state of meditation because in a state of appreciation you are a vibrational match to your source also.  But there is a jump from despair or anger all the way to appreciation and it is a shorter jump from despair to no thought at all.

Wow!
