The ebb and flow

This is the best way I describe my experience whilst meditating.

I am clearing my mind as I sit here in silence, hearing only my heart as it beats in my chest, I breathe in I breathe out as the feeling engulfs me, deeper and deeper and deeper I go.

I become the observer, my breath becomes water, my chin the cliff edge where the water flows over, over it flows running straight down my chest, falling down between my legs and coming to rest.

I breath in again as my breath becomes motion, drawing water up from my own little ocean, up it flows right over my chest, flowing over my chin again coming to rest.

I become one with the ebb and the flow, breath becomes rhythmic as it begins to slow, I am no longer a part of this earth, where time has no meaning no place or no worth.

Is this what it feels like to just live in the now?, the space between what, where, when, why and how, I breath in and breath out the direction of flow, my mind just relaxing to this free flowing show.

I’m now in a place where time has no meaning, my body relaxed and void of all feeling, my mind is a water wheel rhythmic in motion, my breath becomes one with the free flowing ocean.

The time has now come for me to awaken, back to a world I have long since forsaken, my waterwheel is my escape from the norm, my place of sanity away from the swarm.

Maybe one day when I wake from this vision, I will take the initiative and make the decision, to create a place of sanctuary right here in this time, where I won’t have to escape from, wouldn’t that be sublime?

I also meditate. It's difficult to cogitate about the experience of trying to free our thoughts from excessive thinking. But this is a good after the experience reflection of meditating. I like the two lines for a though presentation. Peace.

It was for that exact reason of quieting my mind that I chose to focus my attention on my breath, I imagine my breath is fluid and I visualize it as it falls and rises, I guess it happened when I felt the air flow over my bottom lip when breathing out, and the fluid just popped into my head, each to their own I guess, good luck with your own methods, God bless you and those close to your heart, Andy :-)
