What stress does to consciousness

or when meditation doesn’t feel the way we expect

Perpetual soul consciousness” is where you have the peace of the soul nearly continuously.  Small children experience this.

You would naturally and easily fall into this “perpetual soul consciousness” state if it wasn’t for one significant thing...

Stress.

It’s not until we sit down...

close our eyes...

and begin to meditate...

...that we notice just how much stress is wound up inside our minds and bodies.

We may not even think we’re stressed, but it’s only because our culture isn’t inherently healthy and we’re used to the frazzle.

As it turns out, stress has become our “new normal”.

So when someone teaches us to meditate, and then it doesn’t... quite... feel... the way... we expect, and we go "grrr".

It’s juMpY 🥳

It’s irritability 🤬

It’s “getting lost ... in ... thinking.............” 🙃

It’s noticing all the little body aches that we’ve been trying to ignore 🫩 

It’s pouting  😤



But just wait!


Keep meditating and what happens?  The stress burns off after about 45 minutes.

Then what’s there?

Only the wonderfulness of the stillness of the soul.  Or the first taste of “perpetual soul consciousness”.


It’s absolutely delicious.

It absolutely transforms us from the inside out.

And it’s always there, like home, waiting for us to rest back into It.



“Can I have that?“, you say.


Of course!  If you’ve taken a 4 week course, you have the skills, the understanding, and the experience of the raw peace of your soul.

So it’s simple!  It just requires a touch of wisdom and persisting a little longer in your meditations to offset the daily influx of stress.

Yes, you can do it!  Share your journey, the bumps and successes, and know that you have all the support from me to make it easy.
