4/12/10 Meditation Class, Target

There was a new student in meditation class. I couldn't find my candle. Yuck. I had one in my giant purse but where? Finally I had to start without the candle. That always worries me. I feel like I haven't made my offering to God. I worry that the class won't be blessed. Today, instead of a real candle, I offered the fragrant flowers of my love for God. The moment that I surrendered in that way, God came into the meditation class and into my heart. The shakti in the room was deep and incredibly peaceful. I slipped between the lines and feel into a deep meditation.

I'm not sure how the class went or even what was said. I do know that the reading featured methods for stilling the mind. My fav is to see something so great and so awesome that you're mind stills and you feel a rising of joy within. What's even greater is that the whole world is filled with God's greatness and that all his creation is awesome--from a blade of grass to a cup of coffee. Whatever makes you smile.

Being a painter, the colors and lights in grass always mades me smile. And in spring the beautiful colors of flowers pushing up towards the sun. Yummmy .

I went to Target to try and find a thermos. I didn't find one that I liked. Where to look next? I'm not sure. I did however find a lot of other things that I needed like three big acorn squashes which Luke and I love, gardinia puja candles (only at Target) , and a stain stick for when you spill your coffee on your top and don't have time to change. (I didn't find the one I wanted, so we'll see.)

I had a meditation that was very special but I don't want to share.
