It seems that I performed better and picked up new musical pieces more easily. I've become more conscious of the music I am playing and have experienced the freedom of expressing myself more freely through music. I am able to produce the musical effects that I want to hear. Many thanks for your inspiration in this post. I will keep trying this in my work. Yours sincerely, Eleanor Dear Mary,

I tried this meditation in action this morning while practising my musical instrument. It seems that I performed better and picked up new musical pieces more easily. I’ve become more conscious of the music I am playing and have experienced the freedom of expressing myself more freely through music. I am able to produce the musical effects that I want to hear.

Many thanks for your inspiration in this post. I will keep trying this in my work.

Yours sincerely,

Eleanor

I am calm and my thinking is clear while meditating, but I seem to be disconnected from "the centre of my being" when I get back to the busy life of a school teacher. It seems that I am not able to draw the fruits of my daily meditations. This post on meditation in action inspires me to put the spirit of meditation into the things that I do every day, with my whole heart. This may be an opportunity for me to try to bridge the gap between the spiritual and the practical. Many thanks for this beautiful and inspiring post. I will definitely try it, especially when I practise my musical instruments. Very often I shared with my spiritual director that I felt a gap between my spiritual life and daily life.

In that context, meditation is an on going process and not restricted it to fixed hours. India's other great mystic, Osho has said this in the context of meditation and activitiy/action " Somebody who could have been a poet is just a moneylender. Somebody who could have been a painter is a doctor. Somebody who could have been a good doctor is a businessman. Everybody is displaced. Everybody is doing something that he never wanted to do. Hence unhappiness. Happiness happens when you fit with your life. When you fit so harmoniously that whatsoever you are doing is your joy. Then suddenly you come to know that meditation follows you. If you love the work you are doing, if you love the way you are living, then you are meditative. It is deemed that happiness comes when one is meditative. It is just the other way around. One is meditative when one is happy. “ This is a very interesting meditation as J.krishnamurthy has said that meditation is to observe all thoughts, feelings and action as hey arise.
