After studying for several hours, I sat down for my daily meditation, and got a very nice surprise. No, a mind blowing surprise!  I discovered that there is at least one level past “joy”, and it is “ecstasy”, though “bliss” might have been in there somewhere, and another level which sounded like “rapture” might still be to come.  For this meditation, I was completely lucid as I saw my Divine self floating above me.  But the best was yet to come!

I saw a bright, white light settle into my first chakra, which then began to glow so brightly that it was impossible to look directly at it.  The Divine light initiated a vibration in my first chakra which caused the light and the vibration to move up to the second, third, fourth and so on until all were illuminated and vibrating.  I was then prompted to hum for a few seconds.  I realized that my hum couldn’t get close to my actual vibration at this point, but it was necessary to allow myself to be the hum, though at a much higher frequency. 

Coming out of the meditation, I felt unspeakable gratitude and the pure joy of having everything I want and need, laid out in front of me like a buffet, for me to pick and choose as I please.  I saw myself sending checks to various charitable organizations and designing a house with an interior courtyard which would allow the cats to go outside and play safely. 

I felt great love and friendship emanating from all directions, and sent out waves of love and friendship myself. 

Later this evening, we had what felt like a very small earthquake here, but was actually a 5.3, centered quite a ways from here.  I sure hope my waves of energy didn’t get the Earth all excited! 🙂 

Also tonight, I found that I was unable to settle.  I tried watching TV but got bored.  I tried a meditation, but my mind wanted to make up stories instead.  I tried playing a game on my computer, but couldn’t focus.  And the cats wouldn’t let me out of their sight!  It’s almost like that waiting-for-something-to-happen kind of feeling when you’re excited and can’t sit still waiting for it to come!  (Disneyland syndrome, anyone?)

So after fiddling around, doing this and that for the past 4 or 5 hours, I’ve come to the conclusion that the only place I belong at this moment is supine, surrounded by my over protective kitties!

My gratitudes tonight are:
1. I am grateful for mind blowing meditations.
2. I am grateful for the progress I made on my online course.
3. I am grateful for peace and quiet.
4. I am grateful that I’ll be dancing with my friends tomorrow.
5. I am grateful for levels above plain, old, ordinary joy.  Who’d have known???

Love and light
