Running With Myself

Treadmill Meditation

I haven’t run for nearly two weeks. It’s unlike me but between all the car rides on vacation, catching up on the stuff to do at home and focusing on creating a new routine and direction that is how long it has taken me to work it back in.

I am zealous about physical activity however, so today was the day I turned it around and rededicated myself to my running routine. While I run, I usually do chakra meditations and this routine was no different.

Changed Chakras

The first thing I noticed when I entered this meditation was that my chakras were larger, brighter and for lack of a better word…stronger. Especially the first, second, fourth and sixth.

Lately, I have been very focused on working to rewire my neurology toward activities and thinking that support my purpose in life. So I guess it is not surprising that some of the changes I created might also have an effect on my chakras as I could feel them responding to the way I was reorganizing my mind.

As I experienced them during this run, there were massive differences in their openness and shifts in the energy surrounding them. They seemed to sing. Some part of me responded and I went further into the trance state.

Creating a Circuit

When I reached the seventh it opened wide and I saw energy roots coming from my legs, reaching deep into the earth and then connecting with what looked to be a plug originating from my eighth chakra. Once the cord was connected I experienced a surge of energy flow through me, pouring down into my flesh from my eighth chakra, a waterfall that filled me from the inside of my form like a container, until all I could see was a being of silver light.

Experiencing a New Me

As I ran, my limbs became the limbs of this energy being. Watching my arms and legs pump up and down, I caught sight of her silver sheen within me…causing my skin to become transparent in her light. I could see and feel her perfect beauty with every step and understood that it was the energy circuit that was holding her in place.

Experiencing myself through her was marvelous, I noticed my fluidity, my strength. It felt like all the potential of energy…like eternity. It was in this moment that I felt most like myself in an unlimited form.

I’m fairly certain it is the work I’ve been doing on my purpose that brought on this meeting with my higher self.

Knowing she’s there and that I can experience her in this way fills me with a sense of peace and is a wonderful validation of my current path.

I’d never thought of doing energy work while running! Awesome!
Although I have been loving walking lately, getting in a daily 30 minute walk. I often use breathing exercises (pranayama) while I walk and definitely notice the energetic change in my body.

Such an amazing thing – our bodies!

Hi K-L!

I agree…breathing changes any activity. Change the environment, change the body…change the body, change the breath, change the breath, change the mind…it’s a connection that brings us to all that is sacred in life
