    Dear Martin,

    >> 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. <<

    This energy is a side-effect and of no intrinsic value. Judging from
    your description, I'd say that it was the result of your achieving VoM.
    It's such a different state that your body likely translated the newness
    into the sensation of energization. You did the absolute correct thing
    by *relaxing* and letting the energy dissipate. In other words, you
    stayed with the VoM instead of focusing upon the newness. :)

    >> 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. <<

    :) That is because you had just experienced what it means to *BE*.
    Which, of course, is the whole point of VoM -- BEing. Thinking is what
    defines differences and separates but VoM is what unites -- through
    BEing, which is a common trait of *all* that exists, even the wallpaper.
    :)

    >> 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. <<

    You are most definitely "on the right track"! This first experience of
    VoM was very dramatic because of its newness but don't be trapped by the
    expectation that your next experiences of VoM will be quite so dramatic.
    And don't let yourself be disappointed if they aren't. Accept them as
    they are, when they occur, which is the real key to VoM. Expectations
    will very quickly remove you from VoM, from BEing. :)

    Nonetheless, you now know, through personal direct experience, what VoM
    *feels* like. This means that you now have a "location" at which to aim
    yourself. Let that be your guide.

    Congratulations! :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
