So way back in March I decided to do a meditation experiment. The meditation experiment was this: I would meditate for 11 minutes a day for 40 days for three chosen subjects. At the end of the meditation time the subjects would give me feedback about their experience.
This meditation challenged me in many ways. The primary method of contact with the subjects were online however at about two weeks they stopped responding with feedback. By the end of the meditation series I was despondent that they were feeling anything from the meditation and all the time and effort I put into it was in vain.
However, I have finally recently received feedback from two out of three subjects. I have requested feedback from the remaining subject several times but to no avail. It seems his life is very full at the moment. From the feedback of the others I do assume there was a positive affect on his life.
The meditation I did was Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung which is a Kundalini Yoga meditation used to provide healing to either a person in he room or someone long distance. The three subjects I choose were varying distances away with the furthest one being located in Arizona, one in Vancouver and one where I live now, Nelson, BC. The subjects where chosen based on what they were experiencing in their life, their location, and how well I knew them.
The Subjects
Number One: This subject is a regular client of mine receiving healing and guidance from myself and my guides. I have known the client for almost two years and do not know the client well outside of the sessions we do work with together. This client is based in Arizona and was dealing with emotional and mental pain.
Number Two: This subject was a recent acquaintance of mine and dealing with a lot of physical pain. Located in the same city as me.
Number Three: This subject is an acquaintance from some time ago I do not know well. I do not know why this subject requested to take part and felt inclined to do a blind session. This person is located in Vancouver.
The Meditations
During the meditations I would do my best to stay focused on the person I was sending energy to. Often I would imagine them and each one appeared to me differently, and each one changed as they changed in their lives.
Number One consistently wanted to look in my eyes as I meditated. I would gaze into this clients eyes, seeing the subject clearly in my mind’s eye. There were a few times this subject literally turned his back on me and in those meditations I was not able to look into the clients eyes. There was a point that I was to do a second meditation for him but something shifted by the time I was ready and the second meditation was no longer required.
Number Two I saw often lying on her back and white-gold energy coming into her hands and feet. The other common vision would be white-gold light all around. There were a couple of days I was able to look at her in her eyes.
Number Three was an interesting one. The first week or two I felt an overwhelming sadness in my heart. I felt a deep desire to care for others. I cried a few times in meditation for this one. There were a few times I felt resistance from this client. It could’ve been my own resistance, too, however, I could rarely look at him in the eyes. It was a challenging one.

The Feedback
Number One experienced life-changing events including a massive shift with his partner and in relationship to a parental figure. He noticed feeling overall life was better and easier and he was handling life more gracefully despite feeling a huge transformation. He was able to make more decisions based on self-love than ego.
Number Two noticed an alleviation of pain and anxiety. It was subtle but there. She felt overall better though not specifically better.
Number Three has not yet sent in feedback.
My Challenges
Though I am very happy I did this experiment and the results are promising and affirming that results come from this meditation I did have three major challenges.
The first one was a time challenge. I was doing this meditation on top of a series of personal meditations and sometimes I would be so exhausted by the time I found time to sit. I always wanted to ensure that the space and tone was set for the meditation so it wasn’t just 33 minutes it became more of 45 to 60 minutes for me. I liked to light a candle, burn incense or smudge, and ground into the space before meditating if I could
The second challenge was that at a certain point in time it felt as if I was giving away too much of my energy. I have a very full life and I am an introvert (a blogs best friend) so it felt like I was giving away some of my me-time to other people at times. This caused conflict inside of myself because I like to give to people and shouldn’t I be happy I meditating and being of service to other people?
About halfway through I found myself completing my personal meditations and just focusing on this experiment. I felt better because I was able to use the personal meditation time to flow more into myself instead of doing something structured. I have learned too much structure doesn’t allow for the fullness of myself to occur.
The third challenge was one from my ego. When I was not receiving feedback I felt resentment and anger towards the subjects because I didn’t feel they understood the time and effort I was giving to the meditation on behalf of them. It is really an ego thing and I had to remind myself to return again and again to service for this was a way for me to give service from a place of love.
So all may experienced unconditional love was a line that came to me in one of the meditations. I could not stop crying and all I could think was that line over and over again. I came to understand my purpose here and I came to understand why Quan Yin stands with me and I came to understand my heart is opening.
Conclusions
This meditation has profound effects both on the giver and the receivers. I feel like over time the results would be much more physically oriented and am happy with the results. I do see myself returning to do this meditation as needed on behalf of close friends or family members who need it. 🙂
What have your results been with this meditation?
Meditation is an amazing tool for finding perspective on life and giving yourself a truly new sense of awareness and being. By slowing down your mind and relaxing your body, you can really start to change your attitude, your outlook and your life. Regular meditation brings many benefits, such as: increased brain function, creativity, physical health, and relationships; reduced stress; and a more evolved spiritual life.
I agree. That’s why I’m a member of the frequent if not daily meditation group. 🙂
