CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI


Q: I have been meditating for many years. Sometimes when l sit I feel a great energy which alternately straightens and arcs the torso. I am very aware of this power. It keeps my attention on the body and makes it very difficult for me to be aware of the Self.

AS: The mind and the body are both inert. Any energy or peace you experience can only come from the Self. Drop the identity with the body.

These experiences are making you too body-conscious. Just be aware of the Self and try to pay as little attention as possible to the body. The Self is pure energy, pure power. Hold onto that.
