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.
