I am a light sleeper, suffer from insomnia, often wake up throughout the night and usually remember my dreams, some of which are incredibly vivid. These notes are written some years after their occurrence and are just examples of those OBE's that I remember.

What distinguishes these OBE events from dreams is:

-The ability to see with the etheric or astral eyes.
- The initial separation of the astral body from the physical body.
- Finding myself on the balcony of my flat ready to fly and doing a reality check to ensure that I am not in my physical body, which would get injured if I fell 10 feet to the ground;
- An awareness that I am having an OBE.

When I return from an astral experience I feel a sense of achievement and exhilaration.

Even though I have many flying dreams where I am either flying at a low level close to the ground, or skiing on my bare feet over the ground. the flying dreams do not fit my criteria for an OBE.

I have noticed that the OBE's are more likely to occur if:

- The weather is hot, or
- If the body is overheated from too many blankets, and
- If my sexual energy is high, and
- If the air is ionised, either from an electrical storm, or from an Elanra negative ion generator.

(South Perth, WA.14/05/1984) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Out of body experiences http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Astral.php#my_first My first out-of-body experience was in 1984. I had been doing Osho's Dynamic Meditation every morning from 6:00am - 7:00am for a few weeks. After breakfast I would have a nap for an hour or so. On this occasion I opened my eyes and everything looked 'cross-eyed'. One eye was looking away from me as normal while the other was looking back at me on the bed. Then I found myself leaning against the bedroom wall, looking towards my body on the bed. As I leaned against the wall I fell through it. This terrified me, and as a result I slammed back into my body with a jolt. I woke up and ran to a friend in the next room for consolation.

Thereafter I had an OBE about once a year. Most were experienced on the Gold Coast, Queensland Australia which is renowned for its electrical storms.

Her eight year old son slept on the other side of a partition while her five year old daughter slept on a mattress in the corner of our room. A floor to ceiling window allowed enough light to enter the room so that I could just see the furniture in the room.

(Currumbin, Gold Coast, Qld. 04/02/1993) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Out of body experiences http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Astral.php#an_obe I was living in a house that perched on the side of a hill, just 100m from the beach. It was summer and this experience happened around 5:00am as an electrical storm was brewing.

I woke up with an erection, the sun had risen, the weather was hot and I listened to the rumbling of thunder before drifting back into sleep. However, I could still see the bedroom through my closed eyelids. It was dark and the colours were muted, not at all like the way it looked when I had woken some minutes before. Then I found myself drifting under a crack at the bottom the bedroom door and out into the lounge room which had windows that gave a 270 degree view of the ocean. There were thick black clouds broiling over a jade ocean and two warships which belched smoke from stacks on the deck. I moved back and forth between my bedroom and the lounge room for about a half an hour.

Some OBE's seem to have more dream content than others, but the content should not detract from our willingness to explore the out of body state. In addition dreams can be quite difficult to interpret because they may originate from just one, or all of the seven subtle bodies, and since each subtle body has its own symbology there may be a mixing of symbols in the dream content.

(Palm Beach, Gold Coast, Qld. 28/01/1995) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Out of body experiences http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Astral.php#high_negative It was summer, and I had just purchased an Elanra negative ion generator which I used for the first time that night. Sometime around 5:00am I awoke with an erection then went back to sleep, but had an awareness that my mind was awake while my body was asleep. It felt like a perfect opportunity to leave my body, so I tried to open my eyes. My eyelids opened and I was able to see the bedroom ceiling and the rest of the bedroom with my peripheral vision in the morning light. Everything looked as it does in the normal waking state.

I closed my eyelids then tried to open my 'other' eyes. This time I could see the room as in my other experiences. The room was dark and some of the objects in the room were new or slightly different. I closed the etheric eyes and tried to open 'other' eyes. This time my astral body wiggled inside the physical body. It released from the head down to the waist first, then with some additional effort it detached from the waist down to the feet. While this was happening I could see my body on the bed as with normal eyes, but as the astral body detached itself from the physical body, everything in my field of vision was seen in bright pastel colours.

It was summer, and there was thunder and lightning from an electrical storm, but no rain. I felt like I was on the verge of having an orgasm, and as the feeling intensified there was a sensation from my testicles. It was like a physical tension that sent out intense sensations of electricity from my genitals, through my body. Throughout the entire OBE, each burst of sexual energy provided the energy necessary for the astral travelling experience.

I opened the eyes of my second body and the room looked dark, then I opened the eyes of my third body and found myself in the lounge room. I moved to the lounge room balcony in my first floor flat that looks out over the end of a short cul de sac, and gives me a view of a small range of hills about 5 kms away. As I perched on the railing ready to launch off, fear of hurting my physical body forced me to do a reality check. Read the full article...

On this occasion I must have covered myself with a blanket during the night because by 5:00am my body was overheated. Once again I was having a sexy dream and there was a feeling of electricity which radiated in pulses from my left testicle.

I freed the astral body, then found myself on the balcony of my flat. After doing a reality check I flew from the balcony and quickly found myself at night in a laneway at the back of a block of strip shops. It was illuminated with street or security lighting. On one side of the lane there was a wall, and on the other were the backs of buildings, old and dirty brick walls, drainage pipes, small windows with security screens, and fire stairwells.

So I fly but cannot get very far from the ground. I ask one of the characters in the dream for their address and phone number, which I write down but of course I do not have when I wake up later. At one stage there is a huge landscape, with hills and large steel factory type sheds. It is night time and I can hear beautiful music which reminds me of Vivaldi, The Four Seasons, so I try and make my own music. Somehow I create a CD player and insert a CD but the music is weak. In a way this experience is similar to the previous attempt at flying. I go up to a few people and try to engage them in conversation, but the result is what you would expect in normal life, where it can be difficult to get rapport with a stranger in the street.

The classes are informal and held outside, under a shelter at a local school, which opens onto a playing field. There is grass, trees and stars. A highway that is built up about 2 metres higher than the school property, runs at an angle away from the school about 100m-300m away to the right.

There is a spot where I like to practice Tai Chi by myself. It is just on the edge of the shelter facing the field and night sky. The rest of the class were behind me practising their moves. I intended to begin the Yeng Cheng Fu form in which you place both hands face down in front of you at waist level, but instead I found myself standing with my arms at chest height in a posture for a standing Chi Kung. The feeling was unusual in that my Being just seemed to want to meditate and not do any actions. Read the full article...

(27/10/2003) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation experiences http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Airplane.php#watching I get into bed, make myself comfortable and then I remain with the Awareness. There are gaps in the internal dialogue. As the body goes to sleep, the breathing changes its rhythm a number of times until it settles down into quite a shallow breath. At this point there is still some conscious mind that is active, mainly through the internal dialogue. It is interesting to watch the position of the body, and the comfort and discomfort in parts of the body.

After half an hour the conscious mind shuts down. It is experienced as the visual field changing from dark grey to pitch black with pin pricks of light. At this point the internal dialogue disappears totally. About half an hour later dreams begin, however keeping the Awareness on the dreams seems to prevent or slow down the dreaming process. The Awareness watches all of this. It has its own internal dialogue which it uses every few minutes to record a description of the experience.

The rapport was good and I could see that they were both listening attentively and following my words. I said something to the effect, "When the internal dialogue stops it is easier for you to experience the Awareness." Then I paused as if in mid-sentence. Then for 2-3 seconds all three of us had a profound experience of silence where the Awareness was present.

(7/11/2003) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation experiences http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Airplane.php#merging I had spent an hour in meditation late one Friday evening, with a friend, listening to a taped discourse on Zen by Osho. Once the discourse was finished we both continued our meditation in the light of the full moon. Up until then I had been a little tense but finally I felt myself relax into the meditation. In addition up until then I had been aware that Michael was in the room with me but now he seemed to disappear and I felt quite alone. Then I had an experience of our consciousness merging. Mine shifted over to where he was, and his shifted into my body. I felt quite vulnerable because it felt as if he could know my thoughts. After the meditation we discussed our experiences to discover that we both had virtually identical experiences, but we used different words and concepts to explain them.

(8/11/2003) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Mirror.php When we talk about someone being a mirror, what do we mean? First we need to clarify some concepts. Object and subject. If there is a chair in front of you then the chair is the object. You are the subject. If you close your eyes and remember the chair, then this memory is now the object. In meditation we endeavour to witness both the object and the subject.

The next concept is the mirror. The moon may reflect in a lake. The lake mirrors the moon. If we look at the moon in the lake we are seeing a reflection of the real. The real moon is in the sky and we just need turn to see it. Scriptures provide us with knowledge which is a reflection of the truth. As seekers our task is to find the original source of the knowledge. So what or where is the mirror? Read the full article...

(25/6/2004) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation experiences http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Symbols.php Osho tells us that the physical body and each of the subtle bodies has its own symbols of dreaming and its own reality. Some experiences are significant signposts along the journey towards truth. Over the years I have had many wonderful experiences in either a dream, an altered state of consciousness or a meditation, and I have often wondered about the reality of these experiences.

My heart was very open and I felt quite vulnerable. Then I had the sense that we were both coming up from the depths of an ocean. When we reached the surface we were bathed in a golden light.

Of how consciousness with no content (no thoughts) equals meditation.

The technique loosens the mind's identification with the body's perception of space and time and you sometimes feel as if you are just a consciousness in space. I tried reaching into the space with my physical body but it did not feel right. (Obviously because the physical body is designed to explore physical space.) I then explored the space with my mind but it still felt limited but when I began to explore the vast space around me with my heart the experience became profound.

At first exploring the space in front of me felt ecstatic, similar to that of sexual orgasm. I then felt as if I was moving rapidly forwards. The feeling of ecstasy changed to a feeling of dying. I then felt as if I had entered heaven where I touched the face of God.

(22/5/2006) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation experiences http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/blog/Airplane.php#being_total I was walking along the Burleigh foreshore after a walk and had nearly reached the car park when through the trees looking out over the ocean to the headland a WW1 airplane appeared at about 150 feet above the ground and as if from nowhere. It had banked on a 45 degree angle and was headed directly towards me. It was a biplane, painted pitch black with a bright orange ring around the motor housing. The sound of the motor was a loud, slow, rich and deep vibration. At that moment all my senses became totally absorbed in the sight and sound of the airplane. The plane straightened for a run parallel to the beach and as it flew slowly from my right field of vision to the left it seemed as if in a few moments I was able to examine every memory that I had about the first and second world war, including that of the reminiscences of my mother and father who were alive at the time. The slow deep growling sound of the motor reached deep into my heart. The black and orange colours, the associated memories, the sound of the motor and the speed of airplane across my field of vision all served to capture my heart.

As the plane reached a point 500 metres to my left and began to disappear behind some trees I came back into the world. Tears came to my eyes and there was a longing in my heart for what I had experienced, not the experience of the plane or the war memories but for what they had indicated. For a few moments it was as if the ego had disappeared and I was not. The submodalities of this experience, the sights, the sounds, the slow movement including the movement of the sound across my field of vision were similar to that of the tai chi experience.

For some time now while sitting in meditation there has been the sense of being on the edge of ecstasy. Over the last few months I have played a lot with the vastness meditation and combined it with other techniques. In the vastness meditation I am able to explore my energy within me and around me and to drop deep within myself. (When I first started to meditate 22 years ago I was probably quite contracted and my sense would have been just in front of the body and very much in the mind so I would have been in my peripheral energy but now I am able to go deeper into my core.) I have noticed that if I bring my awareness to the crown chakra and drop down inside the body to below the first chakra there is a particular type of experience but if I start with the first chakra and move upwards inside the body it becomes quite sexual and disconcerting, so I prefer to move down inside rather than up.

Your mother and father were making love, both of them had an orgasm and perhaps moments later the sperm reached the egg which was fertilised. The egg can be symbolised as female, receptive, vulnerable, open and introverted whereas the sperm can be symbolised as aggressive, goal oriented, ambitious, competitive and extroverted. The sperm reaches to the egg, she accepts him and there is an explosion of joy. Egg and sperm both disappear and a new being is born. A growth of energy and life unfolding.

I found myself giggling and laughing out of control for ten minutes. I gave myself Deeksha for a couple of hours and I felt immeasurably happy. I came to the realisation that we don't have to wait for someone else to give us Deeksha, pleasure or enlightenment. Bliss is showering upon us all of the time, we just need to remember that state.

Extract: "Parents may make the child eat when she is not hungry, go to bed when she is not tired, enroll in a course of study or a sport in which she is not interested and so on. Religious instructors may tell the child that she is born in sin, that women are the doorway to hell, that sex outside of marriage is bad and so on. I am sure that you can think of dozens of examples where society tells the child that it is not okay to be yourself.

What happens is that the child learns to associate negative feelings with her natural energy, and then when she tries to follow her natural energy she feels guilty. She might also become confused as to why being herself feels wrong." Read the article

What I do is replace the tonality of any negative internal dialogue with that of Tweety Pie which then has the effect of changing my state. I have done this so often that when I feel a little worn out from over work I check in with Tweety and ask her how she is doing. My unconscious mind might respond with an image of Tweety looking forlorn, with a bandage around her head and leaning on crutches.

Anway in last nights meditation I was very tired. I was listening to a guided chakra meditation on a CD in preparation for Deeksha. The tiredness made it difficult for me chant the mantra and all I really wanted to do was to drop deep inside. I checked in with Tweety and asked, "How's Tweety?" I got an image of her looking very exhausted so I visualised a small crucible filled with golden liquid and splashed some over her head. Immediately her energy shifted and she became became full of energy.

A white light formed in my field of vision which then morphed into an image of Jesus Christ. It was not vivid enough to be classed as a vision but was real enough to give me the feeling that He was giving me a blessing. I was really intrigued because I do not consider myself a Christian.

Osho talks though, on how as your energy moves it will project onto the inner screen of consciousness through the conditioning of the mind. In my case I had a Christian upbringing so I had an experience of Jesus.

I have heard that Buddhists will see visions of Buddha, Hindus Krishna and Moslems Mohammed. Osho says not to identify with the content of the vision but just to watch it - eventually it will disappear and be replaced with something even more beautiful."

(3/12/2007) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Deeksha http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/index.php#realise_the_presence Thinking about giving Deeksha I remembered how a few years ago I had a very intense experience of a felt presence during a meditation. And then I thought about how I often experience a presence in the room where Deeksha is being given - even if the Deeksha giver is 10 feet away and I may not receive Deeksha for another 10 minutes.

So today I let myself become more aware of the Presence. Realising that the Presence is always with me, has always been with me and always will. Sometimes using the words Divine Presence or Jesus. I then tuned into the Presence and let it intensify and become bigger. I let the feeling of the Presence be all around me and inside my whole body. And I tell you it works.

I was doing a NLP session with a client and at the end we sat in meditation for 15 minutes. I just raised my hands in front of my body and there was a strong feeling - like a divine energy just wanting to channel through me. I am going to have to organise a small group of friends to practise with.

(5/12/2007) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Deeksha http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/index.php#deeksha_initiation Last night I went to the Deeksha event hosted by my friends. We started with a meditation, followed by the Moola Mantra and then I sat with closed eyes waiting for Deeksha. I made a conscious effort to put myself in a state whereby I could potentially give Deeksha. I felt a presence as if a Deeksha giver was standing in front of me. In the past I have never opened my eyes when I have felt this presence but last night for the first time I opened one eye and there was nobody standing in front of me. The evening was very beautiful and I have noticed that I am a lot more compassionate towards everyone and that I am recognising the wisdom in others.

I have had the feeling since the day before last that I have been initiated into giving Deeksha. I feel like a Deeksha Giver! Now all I need to do is to practise.

And ever since the experience a few weeks ago when I had the sense of Jesus blessing me I have been thinking more in Christian terms. (I am an Osho Sannyasin.) Today I have been thinking that the Holy Spirit is making Himself felt to me and I feel like praying more than usual. What I mean by prayer is a feeling of devotion, of bowing to some higher presence - I find myself holding my hands in namaste, my head bowing a little and being very silent - a devotional type meditative state.

Since the laying on of hands was a practise of the Apostles of Jesus I tried the following statement: (Note that these statements are all made in present tense.)

"Asking the Apostles to give me Deeksha."

Then I experimented by tuning in to other Mystics.

"Asking Ramakrishna to give me Deeksha." This was quite intense.

"Asking Osho to give me Deeksha."

"Asking Buddha to give me Deeksha."

Then I experimented with the Witness being aware of itself. I tried to erase myself - the 'I'. It is like the 'I' trying to erase itself - it created a little giggling. Then a black mirror formed with no image in it. I tried hard to see my consciousness reflected in the mirror and got a sense of looking at myself. Not seeing a physical image of myself but a sense of a presence looking at itself. This created a bit of giggling and a feeling of happiness. (I see giggling as a positive sign of activity in the left prefrontal lobe.)

Of whether I am looking into the mirror or looking out of the mirror back at myself?

It got very quiet in my mind. Minimal internal dialogue - no thoughts of anything else other than the task of looking at myself. Then I played with looking into the face of God. Nice.

I took the opportunity to "tune into the universal source of Deeksha energy" and I immediately felt the presence of the Deeksha energy. I opened my eyes just to make sure that there was no Deeksha giver standing in front of me.

"Giving the experience of Deeksha to my father now."

"Giving the experience of Jesus in all His totality to my father."

"Giving the experience of enlightenment in its absolute, supreme totality to my father."

"Jesus revealing Himself to my father now."

It was interesting because even though I has the intention of 'giving' the experience to another it felt like the experience was just as strong or even stronger than usual for myself.

My dreams were very strong last night. Too difficult to write down but a lot of personal power and deep love expressed itself. It is hard to now what triggered or influenced the dreams? Whether it was related to my meditations or not?

(20/01/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/index.php#flying_meditation I was flying back from Perth to the Gold Coast after spending 9 days with my family. Due to bad weather at Sydney Airport our plane was prevented from landing for 20 minutes, then when we finally landed we sat on the tarmac for a half an hour. When we disembarked the airport departure lounges were packed with travellers who were all forced to wait for a flight. My connecting flight to the Gold Coast was delayed another 40 minutes.

So the whole energy of this group of travellers was 'waiting'. I took the opportunity to use this energy to meditate. It was so easy and it was great. There was less 'me' and more just an 'otherness'.

Eventually we get on the plane, it takes off and climbs to its maximum flying altitude and then there is a point where the plane begins to descend. At this point I closed my eyes and entered a deep space of meditation until after the plane had landed. During the descent there is a feeling of dropping down inside of one self. In addition the weather was turbulent and the vibrations of the aircraft all helped bring me into the present moment. I am really looking forwards to another opportunity to fly.

(16/02/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/index.php#navigate_the I just came up with an interesting analogy. We have a brain. (Well most of us do.) If we stimulate a part of the brain with a probe it may create a negative state; stimulate another part and it creates a positive state. The act of thinking can also stimulate negative or positive parts of the brain. Acting out of our conditioning can also do the same.

Think of the brain as a maze that you have to navigate. The challenge is to move beyond the mind (that is with no thought) so that the negative parts of the brain quieten. This opens doorways so that we are able to traverse to higher centres of the brain which gives us a positive experience. So it does not matter too much what we believe or what our actions are as long as we are successful in 'switching off and on' different brain centres. It like a game. Once we achieve a certain brain configuration then we are rewarded with enlightenment.

(17/02/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/index.php#a_new_understanding My sister in-law recently loaned me a set of DVD's by a Seventh Day Adventist, Dr Walter Veith. He had a hard Catholic upbringing, became an atheist Professor of Zoology and then had some compelling spiritual experiences which forced him to revise his opinions on religion. He has a series of lectures on evolution versus creation and bible prophecies which I highly recommend. (Feel free to contact me if you want information on how to buy a set in Australia.) I like his work because of his scientific approach. I myself, having listened to Osho for 25 years have a broad background in comparative religion and now listening to Dr Veith I am coming to a new understanding on the Bible and the way Christians use their concepts.

So in my meditations I have begun to introduce Christian concepts. I sit in meditation and then make the following type of statements:

"I invite the Holy Spirit to rest His hands upon the head of this man and bless him."

"I invite the Divine Presence to rest His hands upon the head of this man and bless him."

"Inviting the glory of God to descend upon this man."

(01/03/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/jesus.php#love_is_to I was thinking how scientists can be very inconsistent in their beliefs.

For example science can explain love as nothing more than molecules of emotion that are released as a result of hard wired physiological responses. Love is just biology plus cultural conditioning that brings two people together primarily for the purpose of procreation. So is love just chemistry or is there a spiritual quality to it?

If we shift our focus to nature scientists tell us that earthquakes, wind, rain, hail, floods and so on are just the result of physical laws of nature. Yet insurance companies use the term, "An act of God" to explain something which humans can not control.

The Gold Coast of Australia has a near subtropical climate at times. People come from all over the world to enjoy the surf and the golden sandy beaches. But to ensure that the beaches match the images in the advertising the Council spends millions of dollars pumping sand onto the beaches then manicuring them every day with tractors so that the tourists get a 200 metre wide flat piece of beach to lay on.

But then Nature shows who really is in charge and whips up a cyclone swell which erodes away the beach sand in a matter of hours. Muddy water floods down the creeks bringing with it rubbish, sticks, leaves and logs, which get deposited over what is left of the beach. What takes the council months of hard work to create Nature takes away in a matter of hours. I like to think of these acts of God as a reminder to us humans who really is in control.

To me the energy that we call love is the energy of nature is the energy of God.

(07/03/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/jesus.php#fibromyalgia I went to the Stockland shopping centre tonight to buy some food. As I got out of the car I found myself hobbling because of fybromyalgia pain in my foot and knee. Two years ago I was free of fibromyalgia pain for 6 months but then the occasional food containing allergens began to sneak back into my diet. If you have ever had to eliminate specific foods because of allergies you will know how challenging it can be.

Anyway tonight I was hobbling along, then I thought of the Steven Spielberg techniques from my NLP and meditation course, Zen and the Art of Living. "Hmm" I thought, "let's give it a go". I got quite excited thinking about. Walked into the shopping centre and started scouting around for a person who had the energy that I needed. While getting some tinned sardines from the shelf an attractive woman walked by. "Yes", I said to myself, "she'll do." I turned down the pain in the foot, and inserted her energy into it. Immediately the pain disappeared. When I got near the checkout I saw an attractive Indian woman. "Okay, her!" I turned down the pain in the knee and inserted her energy.

I felt great. I was pain free. The first woman walked by again so I turned down the feeling in my heart space and inserted her energy. I felt fantastic. So I drove to the Burleigh foreshore and went for a power walk around the streets and along the beach side. An hour later I am still feeling great. I have heaps of energy.

I forwarded half a dozen emails to some friends to ask them to do the same. Last night I had an amazing dream about Tibet. I don't know if it is related to the emails that i sent out or not.

I don't remember very much about the dream, except that when it was happening it felt profound and beautiful. It felt as if I was being visited by a number of Tibetan women.

Makes me wonder because yesterday evening I was 'complaining' that angels never seem to visit me. (Perhaps they have but I have not recognised them.) So perhaps the Tibetans in the dream were angels?

(04/06/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/jesus.php#who_is_singing Last night i went to my Deeksha event. When it got to the time to sent an intention i thought of my father spending his last days on Earth in a series of aged care facilities and hospitals in Perth. I had spoken with him just some hours before and he was in good spirits despite having had a fall the previous afternoon and being transferred to a new hospital. Over the last few years he has had many visions. In our conversation yesterday he related to me a strong dream that he had. So, when it came time to set the intent for the Deeksha I thought to myself that Dad would like to see Jesus. In my mind i imagined my Dad receiving Deeksha and then brought my awareness back to watching the breath.

After setting the intent we then sang the Moola Mantra to invoke the energies of Bhagavan and Amma. A few seconds after starting the mantra it felt as if there was a Presence doing the singing. My voice was louder than usual, confident and resonant. In addition there was strong sensations of energy moving up through my legs, arms and torso. It felt as if my body was dissolving.

After singing the mantra the Deeksha givers come around and placed their hands upon our heads. My eyes were closed, and i counted three Deeksha's yet i should have received four. Afterwards i inquired if i had received three or four Deeksha's and all of the Deeksha givers said they had given me a Deeksha. So i have no idea what happened - of how i have no recollection at all of having received one of the Deeksha's. This has happened before too.

A couple of the Deeksha givers (Kaya and Netra) commented afterwards that they thought that i was trying to impress a friend that i had brought for the first time by singing more loudly.

(20/06/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/jesus.php#airplane_meditation The more I fly in an airplane the more I am convinced that it offers a fantastic opportunity to meditators. As soon as the plane begins its descent you should close your eyes and enter a state of meditation. The change in sound and vibration of the jet engines, the sounds of the hydraulics, and the sounds of people in the cabin all contribute to creating a trance state. As the plane descends there is a feeling of weightlessness. --- Have you ever wondered how film makers are able to have their actors float in a zero gravity in films like Apollo 15 (I think this title is correct)?  What they do is hire a Jumbo Jet. Fit it out to look like an space ship from the inside. Fly the jet to about 40,000 feet then descend in a rapid dive. As the plane reaches a certain speed then zero gravity is experienced and the actors float. --

Anyway even though a passenger jet does not descend in a rapid dive it does descend fast enough for you to experience the body feeling lighter. Next time you fly remember to seize the opportunity to meditate when the place descends. It is a beautiful experience.

(01/07/2008) abbyeagle@rejoiceinlife.com (Abby Eagle) Meditation http://www.abbyeagle.com/blog/jesus.php#how_many_times Last night at Deeksha one of the new Deeksha Givers shared her experience of the training program at the Tony Robins Institute in Fiji. She said they watched videos of Anandagiriji and Tony Robins and others. They also did what they called 'deepening processes' which sounded like personal growth/meditation techniques. The first couple of days she said it was so basic that she felt bored but then it picked up and she had a good time. But the most telling point was that towards the end of the program she said that they were told' "Okay, now give Deeksha to others."

So, from what i heard, there was no mental technique in giving Deeksha - just place both hands on the the head of the recipient.

When i heard this i felt a little peeved. You see about a year ago i felt i was ready to give Deeksha and i mentioned this to the Deeksha Givers who all gave me a reprimanding look and comments to the effect that i must go to India or Fiji and receive the correct training. Jeez - what training? What technique?
