Hey there fellow seekers,
Listen, we’re all seeking enlightenment in our own way. Right? Whether through meditation, tantric sex, or the most transcendent piece of salted dark chocolate. But what about mystical experiences? Do they count?
My answer to that is a big, fat, YES!
And they’re easier to come by. 😉
Witnessing the birth of a baby.
Holding a loved one’s hand as they die.
Completing a triathlon.
Listening to opera music.
For me, it happened while I was listening to the perfect piece of music while riding a perfect road, on a cloudless day that was the perfect temperature, on the back of our motorcycle—on the way to a sumptuous lunch—in Lucca, Italy. I have to admit, I cried a little.
According to Jason, “A Mystical experience is an encounter with transcendence.”
It includes but is not limited to:
Feelings of cosmic unity. Interconnectedness.
A mind free of all boundaries.
A feeling of ecstasy.
Feelings of being in the presence of something sacred.
An experience beyond language.
Multiple paradoxes. Understanding the unexplainable.
Feelings of being forever changed by a finite experience.
It holds the understanding of a deeper meaning.
So pay attention this weekend, because a mystical experience can happen to you when you least expect it.
Carry on,
xox
