Moments in silence - LOH #213 [ENG/SPA]

I have practiced meditation for quite some time, sometimes I have thought I spent a few minutes in my mind and when I open my eyes and check my cell phone I had been there for almost an hour, I have taken the time to experiment with this practice to the point of actively breathing deeply, being aware of how air enters and leaves my body, and others I let myself go with my mind and my thoughts to all conclude in... nothing. That “nothing” is the same moments of silence, peace some would say, feeling fullness others, and for me it is nothing and it is everything. Something curious, it was difficult for me to get there, but now it is very easy and the pleasure that these moments give me are unique.

For me meditating is not only crossing my legs, straight back and deep breathing, it is internalizing in your body, feeling it, listening to it, talking to it without words, knowing what it needs and what it discards. Sometimes I imagine myself outside of myself, observing how I see myself being in that state, the result is always the same, a serenity and love so great that sometimes it makes me hug myself, but I don't want to interrupt myself in that free and beautiful way.

With words it is a little difficult for me to describe the sensation, it is beautiful and peaceful, but at the same time static and out of itself, I like it, it makes me enter a space of security that is mine alone, I am calm, I am alive. As I said, those moments of silence are everything and nothing at the same time, I find myself full and present, and I think that thanks to its benefits in my mental and spiritual state it is necessary sometimes to let yourself go in those small or long moments of peace, fullness and stability with your being and the rest of the world.

Greetings.
