Hello,

I want to share with you a, well, i don't know, is it paranormal, transcendental, mystic or magic ?.... i just post it here.



- summer 1999, Rishikesh, India :

......as i walked around Rishikesh with a very disturbed mind, agressive, fearfull, intolerant, easy to irritate, backbiting over little things, depressive, lonely and helpless (i think i did too much yoga, so there was a purification process going on), i remembered a year before in 1998, i met Daoud, a Christian car salesman from Beirout, Lebanon and he introduced me to a Swami from the Sivananda Ashram. I was also in a disturbed mood, because of yoga. As we were there in his office, i said that i was looking for God in Rishikesh. He asked me if i was looking in the right place for God and briefly rubbed his hand over my upper back in friendship or fatherly affection. I felt a current of soothing energy from his hand, relieving me from my mood, i was feeling much better.
So in 1999 i decided to look for this Swami again, just to find his quarters closed. I felt sad, but still i had the desire to donate some money to the ashram for feeding the poor baba's.
So i went to the office along the road and i donated 65 dollar.
When i came back in the Omkarananda Ashram, i lied down on my bed and didn't know what to do with myself, i felt terribly alone.
The moment i closed my eyes, a gentle "stroke" of air/wind was "blown" over my body from the tip of my toes to the top of my head.
I was surprised and got up, just to find myself in a state of mind, in absolute peace with myself, relaxed and positive !!
I was puzzled, feeling like this suddenly, but very thankfull for this blessing.

I remembered a dream I had a few weeks before, that could be a foretelling of this event and got up, still puzzled, to find it in my dreamjournal. I found it and it went like this :
...i was somewhere "above" and saw many old, wise man dressed in white gowns and having beards, they were seriously discussing something and finally gave their approval. I was waiting there, feeling i had to await their verdict. As soon as they approved, i heard some female voices behind me, giggling and softly laughing, it felt like i was their son, i really felt like this...end dream....
So all this might have been decided in the past, it was a magical moment for me.........

Hey I have experienced something like that at Chenrezig institute for buddist teachings in Australia. I was in the gompa for the first time ever with the monks , nuns and lay people listening to the resident geshela speak on compassion. I realy enjoyed what he was saying and then this overwhelming feeling came over me in waves from the toes to my head and beyond. I felt so light and accepting. The geshela was stairing straight at me and smiling and the feelings intensified. They were amazing. I could have flown away if I was not surrounded by so many people. I think maybe this is kundalini energy and those who practice regularly recieve it upon request. Maybe this is how they feel all the time, no wonder they can levitate.

Wow,

that's a very cool experience, i cantell you that, maybe you should practise some light yoga or some other things to get such a feeling again.

I think those Buddhists monks liked you very much, otherwise they wouldn't have given you such a feeling.

Thankx for sharing.

Erik.
