When I completed the intuitive types questionnaire, it showed me as being overwhelmingly a mental intuitive. This was not particularly surprising to me, as I’ve always approached life’s problems with thought and logic. This goes hand-in-hand with my ADHD, however, in that it keeps me from stilling my mind and clearing it of thought. I’ve solved this problem to a degree with void meditations, but I thought I’d try the Bubble of Love meditation, to see if it worked any better. I’ve done it a few times over the past half year or so.
The very first time, I did a number of things wrong. This was back when I was in my “timed meditation” phase, shooting for endurance rather than quality of meditation. In addition, I hadn’t read the directions for the meditation properly; rather I only glanced over them. Still, I felt a calm and peace that was greater than what I had been getting from void meditations.
Subsequent meditations have shown an increase in the depth of the meditation, with more of a relaxing, calming effect, and more clarity of the mind. Recently, I have also begun to feel as if I am connected… almost like being part of a network, with cables branching out in different directions. This is probably a terrible analogy, but it’s the best I can do. I’m assuming this is probably me gaining awareness of my connection to the Force.
One problem I found I had was on the bit where I’m supposed to open myself up to love. This was a problem because I’m not entirely certain what love is or feels like; I just substituted affection and compassion, the closest things I could think of.
All in all, it’s a useful meditation that I’ve added to my toolkit for regular use.
