This week has been an interesting week. My meditation with Charana and Prabhavati went very well on Monday and my understanding of the teachings and ways of Sri Chinmoy has took a good step forward. I'm getting close to finishing Sri Chinmoy's Beyond Within and it has been a very amazing and informative read. It is starting to help me really appreciate and enjoy the world I live in.
Tuesday I went to the doctors to let them know that I will not be taking any more drugs (poisons) to help with my relaxation and sleeplessness. I feel that my mediations and the spiritual path I'm following is doing me far more good then anything the doctor can prescribe, it just takes a bit longer to achieve the end results.
Friday was an amazing day, spiritually. I woke up to a lovely autumn morning. The sun was shining and the sky was an wonderful blue colour with not a cloud in view. My cycle ride from Llantwit Major train station to my office was absolutely amazing and inspiring. The colours in the hedgerows along the country lanes and the blue of the sky was very vivid, I've never experienced anything like this before. I slowed my speed to absorb as much of it as I could. I even stopped where there was a good view over the countryside to take it all in (meditate on it). I stayed there for about 5 minutes and it made me feel very good, it's a wonderful way to start the day. I recommend that more people should do this as it is a good way to relax and make you appreciate everything that's here. It's days like this that make me feel very happy, relaxed and good to be alive. I will also use this feeling to help me in my meditations and also cope with stresses and worries in my day to day life.
Saturday was not so good, woke up in the morning with a very bad stomach, a headache and was very sick, I also had bad diarrhoea later on in the day. My stomach is still feeling delicate as I write this. It was either the Chinese take away I had the night before or it's a stomach bug I picked up. Just completed 30 minutes mediation though and that has made me feel better, spiritually if not physically. Still managed to have a wonderful day with my son, as his smiles and laughter seems to be a cure for all known illnesses, well it takes my mind of them anyway. We had a lovely work across to the new Cardiff International White Water centre, as both me and Rob love watching the Kayaks and rafts going along the course, followed by visit to the coffee shop for a herbal tea for me, a milkshake for my son and some toast and jam for us to share. Rob also likes having a giant cookie with Smarties as a treat. Hopefully tomorrow, if I feel better, I will be taking Rob for his first swim in Cardiff's international pool.
All said and done, despite my dodgy tummy, I am feeling very good, happy and relaxed. Let my journey continue...
Next: Robert and Cardiff International Pool
