This is my latest experiment. I have done 30 day meditations, 5 month chanted meditations. However I have never done 100 days of 2 hr meditations. I thought I would try it to see what would arise or be different in my life. I have done so many different types of meditations over the years. Chanting, Primordial Sound Meditation, Sutra Meditation, Silent Meditation with different sound currents, the Gap Meditation, The I am That I am meditation, Guided Meditation and Walking meditation to name a few. I have studied with so many different teachers too. What I would like to share is my experience of my latest commitment to myself and how it came about. Kyle Cease is a Comedic Transformational speaker. He began an experiment to meditate for 2 hours for 100 days. He then posted videos explaining what he uncovered through the meditations. I found what he was saying to be very enlightening. They lightened up my world. So I thought it sounded good and I decided to begin a 2hr meditation. This was not to be a strict, non movement meditation.(I have done both styles and wanted something easy at this time). Kyle had a video explaining how he was doing it. So I listened to the video/watched it. I took from it what I got. Sit in a comfortable space. When your mind starts the thoughts just watch them. He would have a conversation with the thoughts but from a heart space. Or something like that. Me being a wee bit controlling (LOL)... I did it my way. So the first time I started to do it.. I lasted 2 days.. and not even 2 hrs. I bought the story that I could not do it. I was too distracted with my thoughts, my body being uncomfortable, my shoulders being sore, you name it I had the excuse that I could not do it. And I believed it and listened to it. So I kept listening/watching Kyle's videos and around the 90th one I decided that I would begin again. He had had so much change in his world and that is what I was looking for. My life has changed so much in the last 4 years.. (Access Consciousness and the Bars), however, this seemed to be the energy I was looking for, for the next piece. So a few things showed up that allowed me to Create the commitment to this experiment for myself: The day I started: I had had a pretty crappy day with "the thoughts" in my head. I remembered hearing Kyle Cease say that sometimes he meditates for 4 hrs.. So I decided to do that. I really had nothing better to do in My opinion. I chose to do it. I would take the time to do it.. ( I was in a little bit of a rut - and was watching TV for about 10 hrs a day - so I decided that I would do 2hrs of meditation .. regardless of anything else). As Matt Kahn says Circulate Energy. Do something different. Other factors: Matt Kahn - Love What Arises - and his meditation. I Love You. I will preface this: I am willing to do just about anything to create change in my world. So I started with the 6 phase meditation with Vishen Lakhiani. Then the The Sacred Heart Meditation with Matt Kahn. Then the I AM that I AM meditation with Wayne Dyre. Then Silent Meditation per Kyle Cease. Through tears, insight, bliss, gratitude and so much more. 4 hrs.. and I felt lighter. And happier. The beginning of the 2 hr meditations. I chose to do this. I actually created the Demand of myself. No if, ands, or buts. What solidified it for me? I was drawn to read the book The Surrender Experiment by Micheal A. Singer. I had heard something like this before - when you ask the universe... follow through. The universe will always be there to assist... and it will watch to see if you are really going to follow through or is it just a whim or something to that effect. If I was asking for something different to show up and I had chosen to do this one thing (or did it choose me). I was going to follow through. Just for fun.. It is an experiment. I really do not have any expectations. And I am not attached to the outcome. Please note: My mind goes crazy when I sit for meditation. It goes into tantrums at times. It fights with its self. It tries to do something. It judges everything I am doing or not doing. I just do not listen to it. I watch it. Notice it. No judgment of what is happening. I am sitting for 2 hrs regardless of what my mind is saying. I am at 33 days… I invite you to experience any or all of the meditations and read The Surrender Experiment.
