The lion at my side

I began to meditate regularly when I was 19. Meditation has always been something deeply belonging to me. Besides, all the concentration exercises I learned to master in the previous years, when I began my esoteric path with the Rosicrucians, were a solid foundation that allowed me easily to dive into meditation.

I don't think I could ever have stood up to all the pressure, psychological and physical, that I had to go through in my life if I didn't have such a powerful tool as the meditation, that helped me to regain my inner balance, over and over again. And in the worst years I found myself to go inside, within myself, to connect with the Light, and recover some sanity, many many times during the day and night. 

The Light has always been my focus. I generally didn't focus on any figure but on the Light. Yes, in the very depth of my inner connection, completely "dissolved" in that celestial Light, spiritual figures did appear. Some were my reference figures, mainly from Hinduism and later from Buddhism. Some others were completely new to me, never heard of them, but their "visit" in my meditation, let me later discover who they were and add them to my personal Olympus. 

No animals ever appeared. 

It was a strong surprise when in my morning meditation, some days ago, I felt the forming of a shape that, from the void on my left became a lion that, as soon it was formed, jumped to my right side and stayed there with me. Remaining with me now: as a new ally!
