Paul Levy

hello Liana I just posted to you . I am the meditator and composer who didn't provide my name. I am Paul Levy

hello Liana I am a 72 year old man who has done one or another form of spiritual practice since I was 17 years old. I am now a teacher for 25 years of an energy meditation which stimulates the Kundalini Energy and develops the chakra system.The practice attracts people that are "gifted" energetically as they experience psychic energies easily. The practice provides training to be able to focus those energies in a way that strengthens and supports one's health, calms the mind, opens the heart and helps one sort oneself out. And when they come to practice with me, they go off energetically like the Fourth of July. As of me, even though I have been doing this practice for 30 years with a teacher, I don't feel energy much and don't get visuals ever (unlike my students). But since, I understand the principles of meditation I am able to guide them effectively. When I was 17 I started meditating. I taught myself. It consisted of getting at what is "real" in an experiential way. To do that I brought my mind to a quiet self-aware state beyond thought. All these years later, I continue to do that mostly, although (perhaps, paradoxically) I have added  visualization. It no longer concerns me that I can't "see" what is being visualized, because nonetheless,  I am certain, it is a powerful activity. Also, I am a composer and I think a very good one. My website is Paulevy.com. Check out my new piece Dream Waltz, which most people get vivid visuals from. I don't, but I do think it is beautiful  For many years I have played piano for people and they would tell me the images that the music would stimulate. Some would have elaborate images with a story line. When I hear beautiful music I am affected emotionally and there is produced a delicious feeling in my body, but never visuals or stories. It is a great relief to know that I have Aphantasia and have had it since birth. I no longer try to do what is not there for me in this life, and instead can get on with what is there for me.
