    Dear Rawn and fellow group members,

    This morning whilst meditating with the intention of achieving
    Vacancy of Mind, I first passively observed my thoughts for a few
    minutes and then focussed as intensely as I could upon one single
    question for a further few minutes. Suddenly, instead of striving to
    empty my mind as I have done previously, I felt a sudden surge of
    energy fill my body and mind instantly - it is difficult to explain
    but it was very intense, but at the same time not really distracting
    (I can't really communite that concept properly with words), and
    then it was as if Vacancy of Mind filled me rather than me striving
    for it... if that makes any sense to anybody. I think I achieved VoM
    for several minutes, perhaps even five minutes, but I can imporve on
    it because there were still shadows of thoughts once in a while
    (although they were easily dismissed).

    Is this surge of energy something to be ignored? I felt that I had
    to concentrate at first on relaxing my body because I was resisting
    it and becoming a little tense.

    After the meditation, I felt extremely joyful and still. I felt that
    everything around me (even the wallpaper) was alive and almost a
    part of me.

    Rawn, what is the best way to build on this during future
    meditations? Am I on the right track or being distracted by
    irrelevant occurrences? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Good will to everyone!

    Martin
