A nice moment
For the habits course, there was one moment during the third day that really resonated with me. We were doing a short meditation. Halfway through my body started shaking. I leaned against my arms and they started to shake as well. Soon I became light headed and nauseous. Throughout this wonderful moment I was having, Joe was talking us through this excellent technique. I soon heard this inspirational music, something about victory or completion, and it sounded like church music; the kind of music where the huge chorus is singing this very inspirational song and everyone is getting emotion and you have the old woman pounding against her heart and crying. Well, that's what I remember from the movies anyway. This was that moment. I opened my eyes and was surprised. There were a few people swaying and bouncing with the music while staying in the Buddha position with their eyes closed with huge smiles plastered on their faces. Others were swaying while looking filled with an infinite amount of joy. One man across from me on the other side of the room was crying. He was was shaking with the sobs, his eyes were closed, and his face was red. A few others were also crying tears of joy. All this emotion, this love and happiness and liberation, it was... moving. Just seeing this level of emotion brought me to tears. Soon 'Celebration' resonated throughout out the room. Half of the room got up and started dancing. Others embraced strangers around them. Couples hugged. I laughed, I laughed with joy and happiness. What else could I do? All of this love and freedom and liberation, flying through the air. It was fantastic. Sublime.
