Thanks All
That was very, very peaceful.
I sat outside…wind blowing…birds singing…nabour carpenting…everything simply drifted off…and I found myself centered and gone at the same time.
May all your Nows be Here
Also…
It’s the first time in weeks that I haven’t “lost silence” to the intensity of the ecstacy.
It will be very interesting to see if I have to “pay” for 13 min of meditation (the longest I’ve done in weeks/months) with increased Kundalini. Somehow…I think not.
May all your Nows be Here
You’re welcome…
Just kidding! I joined in as well, and it was good. I don’t know if there was any group effect, but it certainly can’t hurt to do it at the same time as everyone else on here. When does deep meditation ever hurt? Never!
I hope it was very silencing and centering for others.

Hi all
Yes that was beautiful.
Soon after starting the mantra it seemed to increase in size like it was resonating all around me and expanding as if coming out of the sky. I dismissed this as a perceived psychological effect.
But later in the meditation it came back and I allowed it to continue. Very profound and warming.
Thank you all.
Enjoying a bun and coffee

Its funny, I felt a bit choppy in my sit. hard to say if there was a group connection. If anything i didn’t go quite as deep as usual but it was good. maybe was hard to go into my bubble with everybody mantra-ing at once 
Thanks All. This is the deepest I have gone in a long time (maybe ever). Took me some time to get into it though… and then it took me forever to get out… I can still feel the silence… my third eye is throbbing… my head and my heart feel “full” (the only word I can think of to describe what it feels like)…

Very peaceful for me too. Windows and doors open, a breeze with the birds singing. Oops I fell asleep a little which I never do.
Don’t know if there was a group effect but then i’m extremely sceptical anyway.
Of course this gave me the opportunity to “check all of you out energetically.” You all have a tiny stuffed animal hovering two cm above your shoulder trying to interfere. He tries to grab your kundalini, but can’t due to lack of opposable thumbs. So it turns out to be a kind of spiritual massage. But watch out. . . 
etherfish! that explains it! thank you so much!!!
oh, and for some reason i got a technical teaching that hit me at the end of practice. i had been sitting on a pad and i got a message to slide the pad behind my sit bones instead of under them and then felt better.maybe it was the little stuffed animal giving me a suggestion
At 5.00 PM I started pranayama.
I felt a strong energy hovering in my chest area.
It was nice, interesting and strong.
I have never felt this energy so distinctly,
I had however similar experiences, but only vaguely.
Then I started iaming/ayaming, but after a few minutes
I drifted off. I tried to gently come back,
but not very successfully.
I then had a strong longing to be in touch
with all of you, and I felt like I am part
of a big brother/sisterhood.
Some tears came to my eyes, a longing to be
connected with you, and a longing to be supported
by you. I felt, you all are so ahead of me …

It is not us you are longing for. It is you. Nobody here is ahead of anybody else. We are simply here. And so are you. Rest assured. Our Silence"s" met each other just now. And it’s not plural - its singular. When we “meet” like that, we are one. You are one too.
That said - this group meditation is supporting. Thanks for joining in
May all your Nows be Here
I didn’t have any experiences - just my usual meditation - but it felt great to know that I was a part of a larger group that I’ve become very fond of. Thanks, everyone! See you next week?
see my reply at: http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1272
That was me (also: don’t slouch).
I guess you must have been checking me out energetically as well. SITS UP STRAIGHT FOR JIM
I think every week this time would be great. I think after each time we should have a review, as well. It could definitely help some “catch up”. The more advanced could give suggestions and hints on meditating to people who aren’t getting it.
-Scott
Very deep med at first and then interrupted, I went back and went deep again much more visual disturbances than usual, flashes of people sitting in a circle but probably psychological I dont know. We must keep this up, I’m looking forward to next week already

Mee too no different experiences but felt depeer may be. I started with pranayama 10 mins before the scheduled time sitting with an alarm clock in my hand set to 10 mins. I sat doing pranayama like that with my finger on the button of alarm. When it rang, i immedeatly stopped it by pressing button and starting IAM ing at the correct time.
What is this checking out energetically? I am interested if someone can check me and let me know my progress. It seems there are very little quantitative measures for progress on spiritual path.

Are somebodys posts here enough to check out their energy? I read few ppl talk about energy reflecting through posts
I am quite capable of yawning for myself thank you and its Richard
RICHARD
well near, i think in this case we are just being silly about “checking out energetically”. though I think the stuffed animal observation may be dead on
