One day, after giving Reiki to a client, I ran some errands while listening to an album of relaxing bowl music. After a long day, I felt exhausted, so I lay on the couch and continued enjoying the soothing music. After a few minutes, I fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know what happened or why I had this experience. I only remember that there was a thunderstorm, and suddenly I felt tired, wanting to lie down and sleep a little. It wasn’t time to go to bed; however, I just wanted to relax and rest a bit.
When I woke up a few hours later, it was around 2:00 AM. The music was still playing, and the lights were off, as I had programmed them to turn off automatically at midnight. As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately realized that I was immersed in a deep sense of peace and joy.
Indeed, I felt profoundly loved by myself, happy, complete, and totally satisfied.
At that moment, nothing seemed to matter. I felt that everything was perfect. I was convinced that I had no problems or worries and didn’t need “anyone” or “anything.” I was simply present with myself and loved that feeling of fullness, something I had never experienced in this way before.
Yes, I was having the experience of being in a state of total relaxation and unparalleled joy, something difficult to describe because I had never felt anything so deep before.
I remained in that state for about two hours. I didn’t want that feeling to end. I wanted to prolong it as much as I could. Then, I got up and went to bed with that feeling of total fulfillment.
The next morning, I woke up feeling brand new, happy, still in a state of ecstasy, though slightly diminished. I had a delicious breakfast, got ready, and went to work, where I had an excellent day.
Gradually, as I returned to the routine of work and the people around me, that feeling of fulfillment dissipated until it became just a story. Yes, a story I feel sharing because that should be our natural state, currently altered by our social environment and the emotions and programming we receive throughout our lives.
What happened? Was I so relaxed that I connected with my higher self? Was it an ascension experience? Did I become aware of my existence? I don’t know!
I’m not entirely sure, but in these days of transformation, I hope to experience that “state” of my BEING more often.
Tips on How to Achieve a State of Awareness of Our BEING:
- Currently, our emotions are disturbed because we are not living as we want to live. We do things we don’t want to do and don’t do what we want. This “disconnection” creates discontent and frustration, generating a whirlpool of emotions that get stuck and prevent us from reaching our divinity and inner well-being.
- To reach my inner divinity, I must know what my BEING wants from the heart, not from the programming received from “others.”
- How do you know what you want and desire? By entering your “small inner world”.
- Only your heart knows what it wants. Look inside yourself for what you desire and what gives you fulfillment. Whatever that may be, it’s different for everyone—from baking bread, and cooking for others, to teaching, helping others, or spending time with yourself.
Start making decisions that lead you where you want to go. Often, strong decisions must be made. Just remember that you are “the captain” of your own existence and that your rights end where the rights of others begin. So, dare, dare to do what your heart shouts and your mind silences. This will bring more coherence between what you feel, think, say, and do. I know and I am convinced that with continuous practice, we can achieve it. It’s a learning process FOR EVERYONE, for each of the beings who inhabit this planet. For some, it’s easier, for others less so.
