Morning Meditation

Had a great meditation today. 

I broke up 30min into 3 10min segments. 

The first 10min I spent watching the breath and doing Hong Sau.

The second 10min I spent focused on the heart center.  While in this frame of mind, I brought the image of Yogananda to my heart and then felt I should give up all my fears and concerns.  I went through the fears and concerns I currently had. I was surprised to feel all that tension in my body that was related to them.  But I know that i'm always tense and stressed.  I felt I should "give these up" to God or to Yogananda. But wasn't sure how... and I felt the answer to that question was to give them up by realizing God is in control.  To visualize a possible problem, or existing situation, and see the worst case and realize if God is in control this is all for the spiritually best.  Each time I did that I felt a release from that problem.

The third 10min I spent focused on the Ajna center.  While focused here, I mostly tried to see the "third eye" - but had little luck, so I dwelt mostly in the feeling and focus here.  I felt very lifted by the end of it.

At the end of the meditation I closed with a prayer for protection of my wife and son.

Can't bind infinity

I was listening to a lecture from Swami Kriyanada and I picked out some notes from his talk.  Which included the subject of desires always being short (i.e. can't bind infinity.)

you can't bind infinity.  you're always short.  unless you put God first, and then you find it. Happiness.

know God's will by tuning and listening.

put out enthusaism. people of low energy are often afraid of being enthusiastic.  you change your idea about life, you can be enthusiastic about anything.
