[Long-distance participation in Healing Circle ~ Jim joined a circle of six individuals who met with me in person. However, Jim was situated in his home about 25 miles away. Earlier in the day, I had shared with Jim the visual meditation, song I would play during the Healing Circle and basic schedule of the evening.]
After watching the visual meditation I settled down, but was Initially a bit distracted by something I had been doing on my computer. However, within a couple of minutes I had an inner "knowingness" to just stop and focus, which I did very easily. This was amusing to me later, when I saw an email from Kristi saying that her healing work had started a couple of minutes later than the scheduled time. Kristi had asked me in advance if there were any physical or emotional issues which had led me to "attend" the circle. I expressed a concern with tension in the back of my neck and problems with my sinuses.
Almost immediately I became aware of a glowing, warming energy around my head. I also felt a deep "connectedness to self" which I hadn't experienced for many years. I had been able to attain this consciousness when I was in my twenties and was regularly practicing deep meditation.
