when meditating

[The Sum of Awe]

I always realize how unimportant my worries are, no matter what the worry is. It’s almost like everything is beautiful including the fact that I will worry again sometime. Does anyone reach a similar feeling while meditating?

What other feelings and realizations do you get while meditating?

Here is a picture of today’s meditation spot. I’ve been on the other two sides of this river but this is my first time on this end. And I have a kwik star coffee with me Post a picture of your own if you’d like

I don't meditate as such but a relaxing walk in the forest or by the river will ease stress and often solutions to problems will present themselves.

My river walk.

Sometimes I get these types of feelings. Other times, I worry more. Other times I go 'blank' and feel really intense energy(that's probably my favorite).

Is that the Cedar?

My avatar today is Dunning Springs.

I stuck my feet in the Mississippi yesterday.

I guess its just a time for rivers.

Not while meditating, not anymore at least. This has become a regular thought process for me.

What other feelings and realizations do you get while meditating?

Smallness. Wholeness. Awe and Wonder.

Absolutely fantastic photo, beautiful. Here is a picture of a Heron from the river when I last went this week.

Yes that is the cedar

Where did you go to meet the Mrs. Sippy? I used to live beside it, guttenberg and mcgregor were my favorite Sippy spots

I no longer experience feelings or realizations when meditating, but what you describe in the OP is a wonderful place to start. Keep it going!

In Dubuque. We had trouble finding a place to access the water; we don't know the area well.

I remember you saying you lived in Guttenberg. Maybe I'll try a smaller area next time I want to see it...

I have been meditating on and off for thirty years now and have experienced a wide range feelings. I have noticed that for me personally, different locations can have strong effects.

Some of my best sessions were on the Isle of Iona in the Inner Hebrides. Best of all was the mood created by being safe indoors and listening to the incredible howling winds coming in off the Atlantic.

This is the house that I stayed in and the other picture is its garden taken at sunrise.
