I am a big fan of Jay Michaelson and look forward to the day when I am ready to take this meditation on. These days the cold hard reality of America’s chaos, stupidity, entropy and cruelty is what I am letting flow through me. I am finding in gratitude for my family and my work, in the joy of how good food tastes and how we can always find refuge in the luxurious breath. It was a few weeks after the election until I allowed myself a beer, and I am skeptical of how altered states can help right now. I am open, but I just don’t get it.
It consistent with Jay to be aware of all of this, and apologize for posting rather than digging into all the media Jay has shared to sort this out.
This is a great meditation idea but like so many guided meditations - way too much talking. Simple instructions and let us go there. I enjoyed returning to an altered state though. Thank you
I loved this. I have been meditating seriously for about 30years. Early one morning about 25 years ago while meditating a strange face appeared before me. Not like my or your face, but definitely a face. Over a period of a week or so I came to know that face as a spirit guide. At first it frightened me but the second time it appeared I asked his name, and he said, my name is whatever you want it to be. I said I would call him Michael, since he seemed masculine to me. Over a period of a week or so we had many conversations. As a non religious person there was never any hint of spirituality. But he has been a constant in my life over all the years since. Jay’s meditation today helped me to reconnect with my Michael again.
Love it 🥰
Jay is wild.

I loved this— went back to the birth of my first born. I got to cut through the pain and focus on the love. Thank you. My heart smiled.
