A Spiritual Awakening Experience

Spiritual awakening

Several years ago, (around the year 1997-98), I experienced a very powerful awakening experience while doing a particular grounding meditation exercise. In this post, I am sharing this experience, and my learning and observations from this.

I was trying out a ‘Spiritual Grounding’ exercise mentioned on a certain website. I was sitting in front of my PC, reading out the explanation displayed on screen and following the steps. I will share the link to that website at the end of this post so that you too can try it out and experience how you feel.

The Grounding meditation involved visualizing cosmic energy from the sun, coming down from the cosmos, getting into the body through my crown chakra, and then going down through my spine and down my feet straight upto the bottom of the earth. Then I visualised that the energy came up the same route and finally created a Cycle / Loop.  The Heart chakra then opened and white light from the Heart Chakra (Anahata Chakra) formed a cover around my body. It was a detailed exercise and I was intensely doing it. Suddenly something magical happened, and it came to me as a shock.

All of a sudden, I felt as if all of my body weight was gone. It seemed as if I had dissolved in the surrounding ether. It is very difficult for me to describe the feeling that I experienced, since there was a paradox in it. I had become light just like a feather, but at the same time heavier than anything else. I was smaller than the smallest, at the same time bigger than anything around or bigger than maybe the entire universe. I felt as if I did not start anywhere nor did I finish anywhere.

At the same time, I suddenly felt a feeling of tremendous unbound love for everything around me and I suddenly realized that everything around me was nothing else but “ME”. The feeling of boundaries did not exist. The PC in front was Me, the Chair below was Me, the Bed next to me was Me, and same was the state of everything in that room.

Miles below me there was nothing, and miles above me there seemed to be nothing. I was floating in the air, and I didn’t have any weight either just as if I too had become Nothing. I realized that while I had completely lost myself,  it was just me and me all over  …everywhere. It felt as if the same unmanifest had manifested as me and as every other thing around me. 

The feeling was amazingly wonderful, but all of a sudden as I felt the loss of boundaries, and the loss of my body limits, probably my inner insecurities made me feel as if I no longer existed. Was I dead… Did I no longer exist. Due to this feeling, after a short while, I got pulled out of that state back into my earlier level of consciousness. I really don’t know how much time I spent in that state since that appeared to be some kind of a timeless zone whcih i had entered for a while. 

There again I was in front of my PC. Now the PC appeared and felt different from me, same was with the bed, the walls and everything around. I was now aware of my body. The unity and Non-Duality feeling had gone. There was still a feeling of lightness, but the floating feeling was no longer felt. I was reeling from the intense and shocking experience. Thinking nothing. Just sitting on the chair dumbfound as if struck by some pleasant lightning strike. However, I was certainly able to look at my surroundings from a very different perspective than before. Everything definitely looked different than before. 

The strongest realization of this experience, was the fact that ‘I’ was not my body, and that ‘I’ was also not my thoughts and feelings. I was certainly something much more and vast, huge, unending and constant. I realized that in this universe there was indeed no Duality. Everything was one, and the feeling of being separate was simply an illusion created by the mind.

I also got a first hand experience of the kind of love that one can feel when one is in a state of non-duality. Absolute intense love which simply can’t be described in words. 

I never thought that Spiritual grounding could be so intense and amazing. This experience made me realize that ‘I’ was something beyond ‘my mind’ and ‘my thoughts’ and ‘my body’. Today I live my life with an understanding that everyone around me, including you and all those who are reading this blog are just a part of the same consciousness that I am made of. We all are made of the same divine spirit and awareness that runs through the entire universe. There is nothing called Living and Non-Living. Everything around us is living and is united with our Spirit or Soul.

This has brought about a profound change in the way I look at people as well as every object around me. There’s far greater compassion, love and understanding. More oneness and peace. All conflicts have disappeared. 

I would be happy if you too get the benefit of such an expereince. I encourage you to try doing the grounding exercise and observe what you feel. Here’s the link to the Spiritual grounding exercise that I was doing that day.
