"face" in the room with baby blue walls

10:16 AM - ish // DAY 5

Meditation Time: approx. 40min. 

  Meditating in someone elses space with full daylight streaming in was an interesting twist on my morning ritual. I'm out of town visiting friends this weekend and was invited to share my meditation time with my host in my host's rectangular meditation room, with baby blue walls. 

  I like it dark and I do prefer the early early hours when life is still and I know children aren't down stairs watching t.v. But the perfect scenario is not always obtainable - so one must create the perfect scenario out of what is available. It's good to mix things up. Not get too set on one formula. To give myself permission to access my inner being anywhere anytime is the point of all this. Sitting everyday is only practice for "practicing" intimacy with Self in any given situation - in the world or in a cave, with strangers or with friends. 

  This morning there were faces when I closed my eyes and the sounds of my tummy digesting homemade Swedish pancakes. Yum! The reoccurring face was visibly breathing (mouth open/mouth closed) and then there were other faces too... changing features before my very inside eyes. I won't tell you what that means, because I don't know. Are they figments of my imagination? Visions of my ancestors, a lineage from another time, maybe reflections of the many aspects of me, or perhaps just a means of distraction? Will I begin meditating on the face? Or that which is beyond the face? 

  This morning it was just the face. Maybe when I get home later I'll draw a picture. (PS... I got home later).

I swear the face wasn't scary - it was dark and shadowy and breathing with an open mouth, but not scary.

 

  Do you ever see things when you close your eyes?
