On ‘Expectation’ Inrepparttar spiritual circles we often hear people talking about doing things ‘without expectation’. It’s amazing how oftenrepparttar 138566 simple truths are all around us. When we begin meditation or working towardsrepparttar 138567 kundalini, we often feel that we should be able to do certain things within a certain time frame. We expect to be able to clear our minds and access our deeper abilities. We expect to be able to sit for an hour and meditate, or to see auras, or feel other people’s chi. Then when it doesn’t happen we become disappointed and confused. I can’t tell you how important it is to break free of these expectations. When we let go of expectations and learn to just relax inrepparttar 138568 moment and just BE, then we are making progress ofrepparttar 138569 most important kind. Inrepparttar 138570 west we tend to be so goal oriented and have a need to see results, but frequentlyrepparttar 138571 cumulative effects of meditation aren’t noticeable until much later. Meditation is about this moment, about BEing totally in this moment, rather than about who you’ll be when you’ve become a good meditator.

The important thing with a regular practice is to just do it. The effects are cumulative and one day you’ll look back and see that all those short meditation sessions actually added up.

This doesn’t mean that everything always goesrepparttar 138565 way she wants it, but if you’ll watch you’ll see that evenrepparttar 138566 bad times provide fuel for her growth and she tries to take every ‘bad experience’ as a lesson to help improve herself. Just as our thoughts can influence Chi subconsciously, so can they move it around in our body. Energy follows thought, so when you think about moving energy then it will actually go where you send it. The important thing here is to stay out of its way.
