Lesson 238: Sex, Birth, Disaster, Death...
“Sex, birth, disaster, death: these are all peak experiences, when you know you are really alive. These are times when heart of connection opens: you expand beyond yourself, into One.”
Today we are to think about a time we felt fully alive. Is there a way that you could incorporate that feeling into the day today?
I personally felt the most alive at the last gig I was at. Sometimes I like to close my eyes, sway to the music and let the music absorb into me. That’s a weird way of describing it, but that’s what I let it do. I didn’t just listen to the music, I allowed it to wash over me, infiltrate my body and allowed it to just be me. I think music is such a powerful tool in opening us up and allowing for experience to grow.
My Sunday consisted of just blogging, seeing a friend over afternoon tea and then having dinner with another friend whilst watching TV shows. I honestly didn’t allow any feelings of being open to be part of my day. I think if I wanted to, I would just place music on at home and dance around. I sometimes do this just to release and not worry. I think I do feel quite alive when I am dancing because the movements don’t have to be perfect and it’s all about flowing. I don’t really have set dance moves and just move to the music. It’s liberating in this way. I feel alive when I do this.
What can you think of that made you feel truly alive?
