MILD JOY

Meditation Report:

Date: 2 April 2022

Duration: 59 minutes at 11:02 PM

Depth:

It is for two consecutive nights now that I am experiencing a somewhat elevated meditation. Whatever it is, it is new to me. I am yet to get used this. I don’t know if the occurrence will stay long enough for me to get used it but for now, I love it.

There is lightness, mild joy and mild brightness behind shut eyes. I haven’t experienced those three together before. Also, I haven’t experienced any of those three in a lasting manner. One does get glimpses of fine meditational states before one arrives at those states. Last night’s session and the session before it have had a significant portion in each in a fine state.

I woke this morning and headed straight for my Google news feed. There was one suggested article with the headline ‘so and so celebrity battled depression’. My instant reaction was ‘why are we battling an unhealthy state of mind when we have the tools to battle for joy’. How come we aren’t collectively reaching out for the stars when it comes to mental health?

I know my situation. I haven’t for a day forgotten my life’s circumstances. I feel deeply for the meaning of any article with a headline involving mental health. I feel for mental states of folk in news and those I am in everyday kind of conversations with. These affect me. And yet, a habit that guarantees joyous states of mind isn’t a movement!

Why aren’t we collectively questioning and experimenting with established ethical means of ensuring individual joys? Why isn’t this our persistent battle? How come meditation is about a little silence and not about mildly wild joy?

Hobby Report:

Brother Lawrence quotes can power the cross stitch hobby, as I experienced it myself yesterday. So here is another quote:

“There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God; those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it.”

- Brother Lawrence. (1614-1691)

My most recent project was completed in 2022, February. Here is a pic. I will be taking a shortish break from writing the ‘hobby report’ section on my meditation blog.
