My Guided Meditation Experience



One of the steps in the intention to bring myself on the right path is including meditation into my everyday activities. I am not experienced in this at all, so I took some guided meditations from YouTube for my first steps.

To be honest, I didn't think something spectacular is going to happen, because I didn't even know how to meditate. But it happened... I followed the instructions in the video - used the headphones, layed down and calmed completely my body, breathed as it was told me to do... And followed the story... It really happened to me - I was in some other place, in some other state of mind...



But what was so confusing to me? The meditation guided me to some very pleasant place, where I was expected to enjoy and feel happy. And I did, in the visualisation. I was happy, running, singing, smiling... I don't remember if I ever even felt so happy and relaxed in my real life. But at the same time, in reality, tears were rolling down my face. I was struggling with the guilt that I feel happy! I was afraid what is going to happen after that... because so many times in my childhood I was told: don't laugh so much, you are going to cry after that, something vary bad has to happen! And now, feeling so happy in my visualisation, seing myself laughing and singing - my subconcious mind was very angry and struggled so strong. And the tears were rolling and rolling and rolling ... And finally stopped. I won in this struggle with my subconcious mind!



Now, I enjoy many guided meditations that take me to some nice places, where I feel happy and relaxed.
Without feeling guilty.

And I am so relaxed in my real life now, and it is so easy for me to feel happiness. I am so glad I found these guided meditations. They made my life sunny and bright.

Sewing - skill, art, pleasure...

I went to a shopping mole today, trying to find some new clothes for myself. And I found - nothing! Why?
There was a nice dress in one shop. I liked the model, but I didn't like the pattern. I would like to have one in some other colors. And even some other pattern. Maybe some other fabric would fit better to me? OK, I went to the other shop.
I found some great trousers. But again in wrong fabric. No, I won't wear this.
Oh, such a cute blouse. Magnificent pattern, beautiful colors. But what about this shape? No, I would change it for sure...




So, I realized why I never find industrial clothes that fit me. I started sewing for myself at the age of thirteen. For the beginning I made some simple skirts, then some T-shirts, simple summer dresses... In a short time, I started to use patterns from sewing magazines and changed them at my own opinion, made some totally different things than those in magazine. I used just a basic shapes. But fabrics, details, colors, patterns I used were something made just in my head. Sometimes they appeared during the sewing process... In a minute I changed everything and made something totally different than the original idea. That is something great. You never know what is going to get out under your sewing machine...
