There's a Manta Ray in My Living Room

A Reading

There's a Manta Ray in My Living Room was conceived after a dream. The dream was no doubt in response to a WC kerfuffle that I had chosen to get involved in many tides back. As some of you know I practise meditation and try very ardently to stay in touch with my higher self, to behave as my conscience and not my emotions/ego would have it, something easier to do when the air and the waters are calm … much more difficult during a storm. But always there are your dreams, your subconscious, to offer some guidance.

A giant of the ocean indeed as it spreads its wings so wide and charter those treacherous waters severely. Maybe I'm getting hunches that meditation is like that. Excellent...:)..................

Thank you, Sami. Dreams and meditation have a link. In dreams one cannot lie and in meditation the truth is revealed … an authentic self is found. We need more truth and authenticity in this world.

Yep. So true. You are welcome...:).......
