Meditation produces a spiral of interior energy during its different states. When I enter a state of meditation it's as if I am in a jungle or a forest; the mind enters into a great exhilarated state, like an exuberant jungle where you can experience fear, desire, anguish--all types of emotions and feelings. When I begin to feel that there's a point of inner consciousness everything goes toward that inner space, that inner river. Everything goes to that place of quiet, that realm of tranquility.
