Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

I set my intentions on meeting with the group in my dreams last night.  I didn't see any of you, and I will try to make the description of the dream short: I did dream I was in a classroom with other students (people about my age that I know, have known) and a teacher, the class seems to have been in a small indoor mall.  Not many people in my classroom, me about 3 or 4 other girls, 2 male students and one male teacher.  I went to the store next door was looking a pants with stones/rocks going down the pant legs, and pants with leather and stones on them too.  Then was looking at tan colored native american indian leather outfits, long sleaves and long pants with frays hanging fully down the sleaves, and tan leather small purses with a stone like a quartz over the flap of the purse.  Then I came back to the classroom, was in there for a little while, then I woke up.

Monica, That is great!
I had mine when I woke up but lost it as I had to hurry and get ready. Darn! 

You never know what people will dream in common, and sometimes we look different in dreams so it is a good idea to share your dreams even if they feel unrelated.  So thanks for sharing.

P.S. Any comments on the audio?

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

I did listen to the audio yesterday, it sounds great, your voice sounds great and seems very soothing.  I wish my computer could make the sound a little louder, but I think it was loud enough.  I don't have a router to make my laptop wireless yet and don't seem to be able to save the audio to my PC so I can listen to it with out the internet.  So I had to listen to the audio while in the dining room with noise in the background.  I haven't practiced much at all in my life with meditating so I look forward to practicing it more.

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Oh, wonderful, Marcella. I wasn't able to get to the meditation until this morning, but next Tuesday I'll make sure to check in before going to bed, as well as set the intention to remember my dreams.

Your recording is wonderful–I could listen to your voice forever, and I love your ability to create a powerful sense of place using words and images. Thank you.

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

What fun.  I will try and be there in my dreams, next Tues night, as well.

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Hi gang,
I didn't listen to the meditation till Wednesday after 5 pm…loved it! What's interesting is that I dreamed like crazy all night long, and at one point I saw the campfire but I was walking by it from about 50 feet away…about 8 or 10 figures sitting around it, but no discernable features (?male or female). This kinda blew me away when I listened to the mediatation! I had so much going on in my dream, and it all revolved around my career as a nurse, people I've worked with, doctors and nurses, nursing instructors I had in Nursing School, various procedures I was assisting in and these procedures were being done not in rooms, but out in the open, like in a open paved outdoor place..strange…some of my moving about was on the second story of a building where it was just the wood subflooring, no walls or ceiling, and it was old so it was like it had undergone demolition except for the flooring..this dream went on all night…Man!, I was like VISA, I was everywhere! LOL…It was just me doing my thing…upbeat…just cruzing…no worries! Wish I had stopped by the campfire, and I knew what it was from someone else posting in Pam's group earlier this month, but I was too into doing my thing. When I saw it, it was like I was saying to myself  “hey, cool! I know what that's about over there!” but it was like I had places to go and people to see, things I had to do…”I'm rolling on!… yo!…catch up with you folks at the campfire later!” LOL I didn't see anyone from this group, though. I'm going to replay the meditation in my mind tonight as I go to bed, maybe I'll see some of yoy tonight in my dreams!
Peace, William

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Marcella! Another wonderful start to Divine Love meditations. Just listening to your voice is enough to awaken images that are powerful. I saw the campfire area as before but it was not in a dream, but in the meditation while listening. I did see everyone there but could not make out the details. It seems that everyone had on flowing clothes or robes that with different colors. The strange thing this time was that even though it was dark there was no fear but a calmness. Especially with the golden heart we each held in our hands. It seemed to me to appear out of our hands and as the meeting ended it just faded back into our hand only to appear in our chest or actual heart area. Everybody was well relaxed and concentrating on their list. If I tried to see it there was a lake or body of water not to far away but it was calm as if it were contained in some way. Being dark this time the campfire looked large too. Thank you again for leading us to this healing experience!
Love and Light,
Fran

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

I didn't get all the way through the video before leaving for my hike.  I do my contemplations and meditations, during the hour I spend hiking through the forest most days.  I had the impulse to take a John Lennon cd with me, thinking he always has something to say about Love.

I had my Divine Focus List with me.  I had the 2 “in and through” sentences with me.  I found a very quiet, peaceful spot, silenced the cd and sat down.  After centering myself in the state of Love, I went down my list - stating the “you” or “me” as appropriate.

After I finished and started walking again, in a little while, an answer started coming to me, spurred by a comment someone I feel kinship with, made on a blog I've been involved in lately.  The blog's creator is on my list and the comment was related to an item on my list.  Suddenly, it all came together for me and I had to stop and sit on a convenient log, silenced the cd again, and grabbed pen and a snatch of paper to jot it down.

I started walking again, the next song by Lennon was ”Love” and I put it on continuous repeat, with that beautiful piano music and those words, repeating over and over, until I returned home.  I changed my status line to read “Deborah is calm, feeling well, feeling full of contentment”.

After I returned home, I sat down to listen to the rest of Marcella's video.  I was about 3 mins in, where I resumed it, and completed the other 11 mins.

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Hi Marcella
First off, the video was great.  I felt very calm and relaxed.  I felt I reached the level of my higher self.  Your voice is very soothing and calming and believe you obtained what you set out to do.  It was very nice.

Funny, my intentions were to meet everyone at the campfire last nite.  It started off great as I got quite and relaxed…….  I saw two people, Francis and Kathe.  They were laughing having a good time sitting around the campfire and then I fell asleep so I am going back tonight to try once again.
Be well and hugz
Gail

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Well, I tried again and dozed off ZZZ…LOL.  I think tonight I am going to set my “intention” to meet with everyone in my dream and then go to sleep.  We will see what happens then…..
Gail ^j^

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Gail -
It is common to fall asleep.  This is heavy duty stuff. :-)

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Hi Marcella
Yep, I got that…lol.  I can't remember all that I dream for some reason but I do remember dreaming about pizza and the cost of it.  Thats all I got.
Gail

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Marcella!!!!

I did this last night and fell asleep before the campfire was gathered.  Tonight did it, visualized our group gathered on logs around the campfire, I had a deer just behind me, etc. then….I don't know what happened but I went sound asleep!!!!!!!!

Will I ever get through this meditation???? LOL.  I promise I'll keep trying.

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

I did see you in a dream last night, but hadn't read about the planned meeting yet…so that was it.

Leslie

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Lovely synchronicity, Leslie!

I have read everyone's post and am so glad you are all sharing!

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Leslie - I am drawn to share the Deer card from Power Animal Deck by Steven Farmer, Ph.D.

“It's a big forest out there, and I'm sure you feel a little lost sometimes.  Let me tell you, however, that the path is well marked even if you can't always make it out at any given moment. Come to your senses - literally - and stop thinking so much about it, or at least stop trying to figure out what to do or which way to go by analysis and cogitation.

Use your eyes, ears and nose to gather information.  Then drop your awareness into your gut, which is the seat of your instinctual self.  Your senses are meant to register information in a way that can be felt in the body, which is your most reliable compass.  The mind i useful - don't get me wrong - but it's much overrated, and all those random or obsessive thoughts that can get in the way of pure awareness. Pure awareness means without preconceived notions, anxiety, or anticipation.  Close your eyes, breathe deeply and easily, clear your mind, and you'll know what to do to find your way through.”

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Thank you.  That is lovely.  I assumed it was my step-father.  He was very interested in anything psychic/paranormal and just before he died deer started coming up to my apartment. We talked about it, feeding them, etc. he died a week later so I always associate them with him.  I just felt like he would have really wanted to be a part of that circle of sharing, but wouldn't want to interrupt.  He always was one to more or less stand along the wall in the kitchen, rather than being the ham (rest of my family!).  :-)  Either way, it's lovely.

Leslie

P.S.  About to try another round!

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Leslie
Since you had such a personal relationship to the thought of Deer, I would say go with that.  I was intuitively getting to share the deer card with you, if any thing there applies - allow that too.  But never negate your  own intuition for another”s.

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

WooHoo!  I made it to the end of the meditation.  Ok, I cheated a little because your voice is so soothing I didn't think I'd make it from beg to end, so I started at the campfire.  :-)  I was wondering why people were talking about doors, etc. 

I didn't see any of you guys last night in my dreams, but I did have some strange dreams.  Feel asleep last night to a Chakra Healing Zone CD.  :-)  This stuff is better than Ambien!  And cheaper!  LOL.

Ok….will try from beg to end now.

Leslie

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

You are so cute Leslie!

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Hi, I'm just wondering if we are supposed to look at the video the whole time or close our eyes? I feel more when I close my eyes. But also looking at all the patterns in the video also gives me an interesting experience.
This is what I started imagining with my eyes closed: While envisioning the campfire, and the place where I sat, I saw a flower was there and it was a yellow flower and myself and everyone around the campfire were wearing blankets and sitting on big pieces of stone around the campfire.

Re: Week 1 - Video and your experience

Marcella:
Feedback.  Yes very powerful. Have noticed iver three sessions a definite deepening.  Of interest, the light is getting incredibly bright, in fact extremely intense.   Also in each session the golden threads have become alive.  And the bubble is a very thing, almost like a cone of protection.  This morning, after only 2 sessions I was much happier than usual.
I will go for another day at least on this technique before moving on as I think it will give me a much stronger powerful foundation to build on
