Četvrtak, 15. ramazan 1444
Last Friday I participated in a group Zoom call with the spiritual teacher I have been mentioning. That session was pleasant, but possibly didn't go as deep for me as the 20-minute individual call the day before.
Even though my thoughts and feeling frequently return to painful endings and disappointments related to my social life here, and to the apparent lack of comparable opportunities since I lost those friendships and stepped away from the spiritual organization in which I met those friends, I am gradually starting to be surprised by the return of pleasant feelings that I once associated with those friends and with the activities we participated in together.
Today, after exercising, I began to feel a pleasant tingling in my solar plexus. I don't recall having been as aware of my solar plexus since the summer of 2004, when my spiritual-seeker friend at the time abruptly suspended our friendship and I felt intense pain and distress in my solar plexus. I tried several ways to relieve those uncomfortable feelings, including mantra recitations designed to cut the "cords" of negativity that supposedly bound me to my former friend. The difference between those kinds of efforts and what I experienced this morning was that this morning's experience arose spontaneously. I Googled "solar plexus tingling" and was led to a post on solar plexus healing on a Reiki blog that characterized a sensation of tingling as an indication that meridians were rebalancing and healing.
Peace,
