There's something mysteriously healthy about doing some of that at some point, whether it's in meditation or Peggy Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504076672775821088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-91238821457716502002009-01-04T16:58:00.000-05:002009-01-04T16:58:00.000-05:00For a lot of people, meditation is giving the univ...For a lot of people, meditation is giving the universe/Karma/God/your higher self/whatever the open space in which to come to you on it's/his/her/whatever's own terms, not our own.

And I often find myself moving, slowly, like an underwater plant while I'm meditating. Sometimes I stop that, and sometimes I let it continue. I'm not sure that it affects anything.<BR/><BR/>Thoughts on this phenom are welcome.

It gives me a moment to reconsider the direction I'm heading in. Not that I actually think about things.
