Nidra. That’s my meditation.  Over 2,000 years old.  It’s what I study.  It’s what I live.  Nidra.  And in allowing it to be my meditation it has this amazing sense of direction that gifts the mind body and soul with a feeling of being free of what blocks the path.  To do more than rest and or mend what invisibly could be cracked.  It’s everything you are and how to be present in this place of Now.  In saying that I must admit that I’m having a difficult time coming away from Nidra this new sun.  The moments of peace, clarity, mental growth and stability usually last about 45 minutes.  Then you open your eyes and take on the day or night.  Last night was different.  It went on for hours.  Nidra.  Peace, clarity, mental growth and stability.  Inside the mind body and soul.  Inside.  Are you getting the picture?  It’s getting tough for a lot of people to step out into the real world.  The lingering pandemic.  The latest word that Pfizer has millions of vaccines but the leaders of the nation are holding back.  I’m not going to turn this into a Chris Cuomo post.  Nidra.  The world of politics still beating the cracked egg shells covering our skin.  The mental images of the millions of renters who will soon be homeless and the landlord’s right there with them.  Nidra.  Having a hard time coming out this morning.  Why should I?  Nidra.  Peace, clarity, mental growth and stability.  Nidra isn’t sleeping.  It’s resting.  It’s healing and unlocking what has blocked.  The goals are met when my body stops moving and there can be no mental pictures.  Where are you seeds of solitude?  Holding onto what invites peace to your path can actually turn into hoarding.  When you get too much of a good thing.  It keeps you from having to deal. Cool place right?  I’m not so sure. Come on.  Let’s go for a walk.  We can’t keep ourselves inside the head and heart.  For the world has changed.  Life right now feels like we’re herding cats.  Everybody’s moving in directions we can’t relate with.  Therefore the attempt is to push away.  Not to Ghost or unfriend.  To deal with.  No…  There must always be connection and communication.  Lead.  You know the rules. You’ve been training for ten months.  Lead by being present.  Cleanse the mind but don’t live there.  Lead.
