it's wonderful to discover others who share the same bliss feeling that i get especially during and soon after meditation. i always wished for a place where i could find others who communicated through the heart, and, although distance divides us, i realize there are many souls out there who do, so this is the place. this is the time.
thanks for making yourselves known.

i get this on occasion. it has always been there, i think, but i haven't noticed any particular increase in frequency. there has been a recent increase in emotional vulnerability, followed by feelings of thankfulness and love to god. honestly, sometimes i wish god was a human just so i could wrap my arms around him and say thank you, thank you, thank you for everything he's done for me. so instead i try to stay in touch with prayer as much as i can.

oh, and i try to recognize and acknowledge god in those around me as much as possible too. you can't hug the creator, but the creatures, you can hug.

i have had this love become unbearable at times, though. almost to the point of driving me crazy. one time comes to mind, in college; i was living in a dorm and i was lucky enough to be surrounded by young girls. i love girls. not just in the heterosexual way - i mean i really love being with them, talking with them, even if we're not dating or sexual or anything. when i was in college there was this one girl who i would sleep with - really; only sleep! we would take naps together, fully clothed, hold each other, snuggle and not have sex. it was awesome. i had a girlfriend at the time, so my sexual needs were taken care of. i still made sure to keep it on the down low, just so nobody's feelings would get hurt.

anyway, i think it was after talking with two other girls in my room after dinner, that i heard her talking in the hallway. i was getting alot of really good vibes from the two girls, and we were laughing really hard. i guess i was, i don't know if there's a word for it, "attention-drunk." so when i heard her in the hall, i felt really strong and powerful and full to bursting with love all at the same time.

so, to the incredulity of everyone in the hall, i immediately rushed out, picked her up like a little girl (she was nineteen and quite tall, but i almost threw her into the ceiling i was so enervated) and starting spinning around with her, telling her how much i loved her, and in so many words.

that time was good, because i had an outlet. often i don't, so i have to hold it inside, where it becomes like a secret that you're not allowed to tell. which can be difficult. sometimes i give things away to strangers because i can't hug them and tell them how much god and i love them without fear of arrest.

:-)

feels so good to have people to share this with!

hey all....i am loving the responses on this thread and it is a lovely feeling to know people are feeling the same and even more importantly recognising and sharing these changes. my question is does anybody have and credible or very successful way of enhancing these feelings or even controlling them somehow.
if i am completely honest i have never really meditated as such, in terms of the conventional means, but i find (and always have) i can put myself in a very relax state through breathing and concentrating on my breathing. from doing this i send myself into either bouts of laughter and an extreme feeling of love for myself (not in the egotistical sense) and others alike. or, i feel an unbelieveable sense of despair and morbidness that again lead me being in a mess! these 2 extremes are both wonderfully immense in their own right but i would certainly love to control them more if i could.
i would love to know of any ideas people have with regards to meditation or chakras so i can begin to control this path i am unquestionably on.
we are all desperate to find the understanding and the truth but some of us dont know that yet....iv often felt that there is a lot more to myself and this we call life but really havent known what or how to approach finding more. dare i say it i think i may have found what i needed to find.

i feel lucky to know and feel that i am awakening and at the same time not lucky because i always knew inside there was something there...i do hope this doesnt sound too mental for you all but even as i type this i not only feel weight being lifted off my shoulders but a connecting with you all as you read my words.

love to all

i had one such experience very recently while sitting alone at home a wave of happiness and warmth washed over me that i have never felt before. i wish i could remember what it was i was thinking about when this happened because it certainly was a new feeling for me. i felt very blissful, safe and filled with love. i could actually feel my body tingling, like this wonderful warm feeling was spreading through me. it's hard to describe.

i sure hope it happens again and again and again

angelboy,

i will say, you have opportunities every day. the way you wake up and greet the day to each experience, encounter and how you or another handles it. it is living that "unconditional" part of your self in each and every moment. this is the hard part, because those experience can rock your boat either way and sometime sink it too.

it is both giving and receiving.

however, i like how robin williams or julia roberts said it in peter pan --->
"think happy thoughts" and you will soar ....

i agree with this srongly, yesterday i had the feeling of unconcidional love and was amazed at how patient i was and accepting, but today after waking up to a beutiful day and happy initially, i was tested with one of my long held enemies of my attachment to materialism...salt corroding my car on the way to class. this one negative attitude made it hard to recover throughout the day. although i know it would feel great if this car was completely smashed or stolen and taken on a police pursiut where it was blown to 50 peices. i still hold on to it because i cant afford a new one.
so ive began to take note of the things that have really pushed my buttons in the past and use them to improve these issues with my self.

heres a video from greatdreams.com that has lots of hugs

i have dealt with one of the most difficult things i ever had to bear with my oldest daughter leaving the nest. due to the overwhelming love i have encountered within myself as well as others i have turned it around and recognized this for what it is...a freeing...for us both. sad, sure. it definitely had its moments and i have learned more about my inner strength and spirituality than ever before. i am recognizing myself in others more often and connecting easier. i had to surrender control and trust, which is harder for some, but i made it. i also think we feel a rush of love because people are waking up and we cannot help but feel the pull on our consciousness...it is easier to see who is still "sleeping".
