Adding Share to August Samsara Surfers
Jai Maa!
Like so many here, I continue to feel so grateful for all teachings, resources and fellow seekers here ... and above all for Shunyaji who is making all this and more possible that could not materialize in such a way without her steady devotion, intention and presence.
While the live satsangs and other live gatherings don't easily dovetail with my life circumstances at this time (although I keep watching for synchronicity to arise in that way), I watch a lot of videos, which are easier to fit in. I also contemplate many of the teachings daily, incorporate new rituals into my day and night, and most of the time adhere to my evolving mediation practice of many years. I feel so blessed with the spiritual and communal abundance I find here. I want to add a share to the August Samsara Surfers Sharing Circle, where the notion of spiritual intimacy is contemplated. Lately I've been listening to Acharya Shunya's "Atmabodha Dhyanam: Guided Lineage Meditation" (available on the portal's Study Texts and Audio Links page under Audio). I listen at night right before going to bed. Along with being soothed while dipping into the sattvic quality of Shunyaji's voice, I find that the meditation's purity and simplicity easily elicit intimacy with presence. I've also noticed that the next day I experience more sakshi and catch myself more often when I'm lost in my monkey mind. I can then ride the Sakshi moments -- as if on a magic carpet -- more deeply into intimate presence. Jai Maa Jai Guru Dev
Thank you flowing river for sharing this. The meditation sounds like a good way to drift into sleep. I think I will try it tonight! Jai Maa Jai Guru Dev
