The day of Initiation can sometimes bring many different experiences. You may experience Light or Sound, physical sensations, emotional changes, visions or other phenomena as the transferred energy interacts with you.
Do not expect these experiences to continue or to be repeated during subsequent meditations.
Think of them as scenery viewed while travelling along a freeway. You pass through the scenery as you continue your journey; there is no need to turn around and try to find it again.
Don’t Chase the Experiences
As we explain before Initiation, try not to have expectations about what you should experience.
Some people arrive hoping for a spectacular light show accompanied by an orchestra! That isn’t the purpose of the meditation.
The energies to which you have now been connected are the vehicle for your Spiritual Journey. Light, Sound, visions and sensations may arise along the way, but they are not themselves the destination.
Equally, do not be concerned if you are experiencing neither Light nor Sound.
Simply remain in the stillness.
Some of the most profound changes can take place within that stillness without producing dramatic experiences during meditation.
Notice What Changes in Your Life
Your meditation does not exist only during the time you sit with your eyes closed.
Pay attention to the subtle — and sometimes not so subtle — changes that begin to occur in your everyday life.
You may notice increased sensitivity, changes in how you respond to situations, periods of greater stillness, or a deeper understanding of spiritual ideas and philosophies.
These changes can be just as significant as anything experienced during meditation itself.
You Are Not Travelling Alone
We strongly recommend attending the group meetings whenever possible. They provide an opportunity to share experiences, listen to the experiences of others and ask questions as your meditation develops.
You can also contact your Initiating Adept if you would like to discuss your meditation or anything you are experiencing.
Above all, don’t measure your journey against somebody else’s.
Continue to meditate, remain open to what unfolds, and allow the journey to reveal itself in its own way and in its own time.
