Blue Orb Meditation

A timeline for my practice

Perhaps a troubled youth, lonely, introspective or perhaps more aware of self to define,

characterise, whatever, a need.

Random thoughts disturbing the inner sanctum of my mind.

A statement. This is my mind, my head is my space, I should be able to control

those random intrusions, unwanted thoughts.

A process, an awareness being touted by gurus and musicians, meditation.

Chants, mantras, mandalas, burning candles, eastern religious practices, yoga,

disciplines I am not adept at or practice, and labels.

I do not wish to be defined or confined by labels.

I read somewhere do not try to control the thoughts, or at least I think I did?

So I visualised at age 15/16 my thoughts running on a cassette tape and ultimately,

the tape runs blank.

Maintain a focus on the black behind my eyelids.

Eventually a calmness, refreshing sometimes sleep,

but also in a conscious state, a visualisation in the minds eye, what I describe

as a blue orb, round, light blue, filling up the black void and then receding in a cycle,

repeating, flowing, calming, refreshing, peaceful, restful.

Still aware of my surroundings but blissfully.

Way back in the 1960's. I was a youth then.

Now 71 I occasionally still practice my meditation.

But on Sunday some quiet time a new level,

a deeper blue orb and at another level a very deep dark blue, but not an orb, eye shaped,

maintaining its form large in my minds eye.

And so Sunday night I googled blue orb meditation and found this link:

There is a lot on this link that is real for me.

I do not define my practice other than Blue Orb meditation.

It works for me.

We find our own paths to inner peace.
