Hello All,
Awhile back I bought a mini recorder because for some reason I felt strongly that is was an important tool for me to have/use. But, now that I have it, I'm not quite sure what to do with it during meditation
Should I ask questions aloud and repeat what I hear in my head, (my concern is that may take me out of the experience) or, just let it record to see if it picks anything up without me speaking..
Any advice or personal experiences would be most helpful and appreciated.
Much love,
Monica

Dear Monica,
I cant see any problems with trying to speak what you hear. If it does not work for you, you can give it up. It might just also work to record your thoughts at the end.
love,
Geoff

Re: Tips for using recording device during meditation
Hi M,
I did the same thing...I bought one of those mini tape players with the intent of recording what comes through. Well, it didn't last long because in my rush not to become pulled out of the relaxed open state I lost a whole transmission when I pushed the wrong teeny tiny button. I should have, but I never gave myself a second chance with the machine and since then I always write the old fashioned way what comes through... This has always felt very natural for me as I began by journaling anyway.
You could maybe have the recorder already set to record as you relax and get quiet so that all you have to do is speak your questions and what comes through so as not to disturb yourself. I suspect in no time flat you will discover what works best for you. (Your Teachers, Angels and Guides will give you lots of help in this area. )
Love,
Sandy

Re: Tips for using recording device during meditation
Thanks Geoff - I'll try both ways - before/during meditation and recording my thoughts after it's over, on separate occassions, to see what works best.
Sandy - Journalling has always been frustrating for me and it's been standard in many trainings / practices (for yoga , etc.). I always find that I lose so much of my inner experience when I try to organize it to a point that it can be written down. My experience has been that I have many thoughts or viewpoints simultaneously happening in my mind and different threads of thought or understanding naturally occur from each of them so that I can never actually get it/ them down on paper. Maybe I have a neuron breakdown from brain to hands or, brain to part-of-the-brain involved-in-writing to hands LOL
I'm hoping the recorder will work better for me - I'll let you know
Much love to you both,
Monica
XOXOX

Hi Monica...
I hope it works out...
Love and (((Hugs)))

That is so amazing and wow, I can see where it might be difficult to write and journal it as it would almost be like trying to write an entire group's conversation that is going on all at the same time. I agree, a tape recorder sounds like a good viable way of getting the gist of what is coming across in nthis situation. I wonder too that if by some chance you missed bits and pieces because of this group feeling thing that is going on if you will be able to ask for individual clarification by asking the orginator of the thought to return and expound on it a little later on.My experience has been that I have many thoughts or viewpoints simultaneously happening in my mind and different threads of thought or understanding naturally occur from each of them so that I can never actually get it/ them down on paper
I hope it works out...
