A couple of weeks ago I attended a ‘Barefoot Satsang’ http://barefootsatsang.com/ over the internet . It was marketed as people coming from all over the world to meditate together and to send healing thoughts for the world. It seemed liked a lovely concept and although I wasn’t sure whether I would notice anything or if, as a beginner at all this, I would make any difference, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more. I loved the meditation, and loved the feeling of coming together for the good of the world and humanity. I don’t think it was intended in any sense other than to be healing, helpful and constructive but it sat a bit uncomfortably with me when we were asked us to imagine ourselves as angels who had fallen to earth ‘and to try to sense and visualise ourselves and to feel the weight of our wings. In my book ‘fallen angels’ have never been linked with doing good (but having said that I’m not very well read in these things)! Leaving that to one side, the sense of coming together for a common, healing purpose was very powerful and when we all moved our hands in a clockwise motion I felt an incredible surge of energy under my hands.
I guess there is no real way of measuring the immediate impact of our joint meditation, but I can say that for around a week or so afterwards I felt far more tired than usual, and quite drained of energy. Unlike the Reiki, which leaves me feeling invigorated (in fact, I’m learning to be careful about practising Reiki late at night if I want to get a decent night’s sleep) this seemed to draw on my own energy as well.
