Samadhi

Ever since I was a kid, anxiety has shown up in me as tension in my solar plexus.

A knot in my stomach that comes whenever I'm stressed. All the time.

Today, for the first time, I felt something else in its place... lightness.

A pleasant, indescribable sense of physical well-being.

It happened during meditation.

It seems to go hand in hand with this space without inner monologue that I keep exploring.

For a while, I manage to set aside problems, obligations, the daily grind. And I find myself here and now, freer and more detached than before.

To be continued.
