Now back to personal blogs. Being a yogi I am not sure if I should talk about my meditation experience. Each person experience is VERY difference although the initial problem or obstacle might be the same.

As I mention on my earlier post I started meditation in 1982 about 27 years ago. It was during my study in University Malaya. It was not a coincidence as I am always fascinated about meditation and life of a monk. I remember pondering about what monk can and cannot do (Vinaya) when I was a little boy. Now I started to believe I might be a monk myself in the past life.

Now involving in meditation almost daily and spending much time with Bhante Thipako (Lim) and Bhante Ballavuddho of SMG, I see each person path in meditation is very unique. Out of 100 attending a meditation class only about 5~10 person will continue the practice. Meditation can’t be force, it like planting a seed. With the right condition it might grow into a tree, it might also not. This condition can be the simile to “Sila”.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Śīla )

Śīla (Sanskrit) or sīla (Pāli) is usually rendered into English as "virtue";[1] other translations include "good conduct,"[2] "morality"[3] "moral discipline."[4] and "precept."[5].

Most of the students that complete the training usually has meditate either in this life time or from previous life. There is always sign or trend in their meditation experiences.

During interview yogi usually talk about their “nimita” or feeling, an experience teacher will guide base on these interview.

“Nimita is a kind vision we experience during meditation “.

My advise is don’t be too concern of this nimita, just be aware and let it go.
