Awakening
After
20 years of practicing buddhist meditation, I had an awakening
experience in April 2018. This happened right after Open Heart Yoga
weekend course in the middle of the night. I spent the night in the
home of a sangha member where a Guru Rinpoche statue was placed in my
bedroom. The same statue was at the altar at the course and
apparently was given to the Irish Open Heart Sangha by Kim, who had
consecrated it in Finland.
I
literally awoke in the night with what felt like incredible flow of
energy through my body that would have lit up a city. This energy
with my directing flushed through the third eye on my brow. Over the
next few days I noticed the chatter in my mind had subsided and there
was another indicator, I was due in court over a property licence
issue, I have been to court through my business many times over the
years. This time I felt different in my mind. Normally it would be
spinning with thoughts and my body would feel sick with fear but this
time my mind and body was not reacting in the same old way. I felt a
lot more relaxed, the thoughts and fear had subsided so much that it
became noticeable. Afterwards I sent a photograph and a written
account of my experience to Kim Katami who after analysing confirmed
I had awoken.
I
had been told that awakening could be a dramatic experience for some
or so subtle that they may not even notice that they had in fact
awoken. For me the key to this breakthrough was the Two-Part
Formula,
while the powerful charge emanating from the Guru Rinpoche statue
finished the job.
I
know I have a lot more work to do but this was the first blow into
the delusion of self.
