Out of Synch with Material Body

[GeorgeMagnus]

I was meditating, focused on the welfare of another soul, last night.

Ever since, I've been feeling oddly clumsy. And not in the coordination sense, though that partially applies and it's uncharacteristic. When I read, my mind loses it's focus frequently, and the flow of the text turns into a jumble in my head. To put it succinctly, I feel as though I lost synchronicity with my physical mind, and body. I'm fairly certain I didn't perceive separating into an astral form, and that wasn't even an objective of the meditation. It just took a lot out of me immediately after, and I felt a little light headed, and off-balance. I chalked it up to doing household tasks at two in the morning, to a degree.

I truly thought the feeling would go away after getting some sleep, but it really hasn't subsided at all. In some ways it is more apparent that something is "off". I'm a bit worried that something is out of order. I'm not even certain how to articulate this in a manner that will foster understanding of my situation, in someone who knows more about this subject.

Do a grounding meditation, and that should take care of the problem.

Thank you for the insight CNS. I won't have time to try it until late tonight, as it is a hectic day.

In the meantime, if anyone feels compelled to share their own insight, please do so. I would like a diversity of views and suggestions, even if they start to parrot previous posts to a degree. Also, I can furnish more information on request, as I'm sure there are more things relevant than my first post.

Hi, George. To get everything into synch, I'd suggest doing a a grounding meditation, as Rebecca suggested, and also doing a visualization, as vividly as you can, of a physical activity that gives you joy. It doesn't matter what the activity is, as long as it's one that has felt good to you and takes intentional physical coordination. Tennis is my favorite; sex is good, too, or salsa dancing.

Start by closing your eyes, imagine yourself in the ideal physical surrounding for the activity. Now see your body beginning the activity, warming up, stretching, maybe stepping out onto the court, throwing the ball in the air, pulling your arm back, and stepping into a serve -- wham. Imagine the ball going to the perfect spot, and being returned by a fine, dependable opponent so that you can draw your arm back getting ready for a nice forehand swing. And so on. Enjoy watching yourself for a bit, and then step into your body and go through the entire sequence again, looking through your own eyes, seeing what you see, hearing what you hear, and feeling the sensations in your body, your arms, your legs, your goes, the sun on your face, feel everything as vividly as you can -- make it as real as possible. Take some time to really feel and enjoy the movement and the vitality of your body. Then do some grounding, and bring yourself up gently to wide awareness.

Now, move your body and feel that same vitality and presence in your body, mind and spirit. Feel how good it feels to have generated that feeling. Ideally, if you can, go DO the activity that you have projected. Now really feel it, and afterwards, notice the adeptness in your limbs, in your heart and lungs -- notice how you carry that alignment of body/mind with you deliberately.

Does that feel good?
