Again in Trance by Kalai Selvi Arivalagan (best color ereader .txt) 📕

Have you ever got the time to travel in your space?

Every day when I travel to office, my personal space wakes up and it literally helps me to live in my own world of imagination. It is the time when I live away from the maddening crowd or hectic schedules at office or routine chores at the kitchen sink.

I travel back and forth in my space and let my imagination run wild. But all these can happen if I get a place to sit. Otherwise, my thoughts escape vaguely into the air and fail to materialize into a beautiful poem or a story, which can make other people to feel in the same way I have felt.

Whether I travel by train or bus, both means the same thing. To travel within my space, I need only a vehicle that will take me into a trance with its movement.

The bus or car with its four plus wheels, a train with its numerous wheels can trigger my imagination and let me go wild within my virtual world. Let alone for the imagination, wheels become the necessary thing to get me motivated to write down any poem or any story.

Every day it takes more than forty minutes to travel to my work place. In spite of traffic snarls, I never miss the chance to take a stroll in the lanes of my virtual world where I can let my hair down and throw away the mask that I wear in my day today practical life. I select people from the crowd to be the interacting characters in my imaginary world.

They roam around and talk to me in person. Though the real person still maintain the distance and stand away from me, the wave length of my thoughts reaches and interacts with the underlying in depth soul in the other person. This exercise is quite fascinating as I don’t get the matching frequency often.

Rarely my wave length meets the exact one with the same vibration. When I find it out, I can feel the excitement within me and I feel happy and elated at once. This requires a strong walled inner mind that cannot break the barrier and let every one’s soul tap your hidden potential to dream and imagine vividly.

So far, I have found only one person who vibes well with my wave length and let my thoughts enter the hidden world of fantasy. To the fact, I also let his wave length enter into my world of deep fantasy, where I live with much cheer and laughter and enjoy every second of my life with him.

Is this so intriguing? Yet, I can prove it is true, for I have experienced the travel in trance and I have successfully entered, re-entered again and again into this with much ease.

  Once again into quick trance....

  After awaiting 365 days,  once again I am virtually travelling in trance.   This time in the swift metro rail that reaches my destination in 10 minutes.  

Though I can't enjoy a long escape into virual dreams,  the shift has come as a welcome break.  

Minimum number of seconds - yet, they have the powerful impact on my inner mind.

Two days ago, on a full moon day,  I was watching with excitement,  the full moon accompanied by clouds, just moving all along with the same speed, the train traveled on its tracks.

With the count of four stations, I reach my destination.  Yet, I have learned to open doors to the world of trance.

I don't even want to blink my eyes.  I stare into the dark stretch of sky that widens further and further to show the endless horizon. 

Now I grab those minutes to be in trance by listening to chants that softly nurtures my tired body and the mind.  I switch on the soothing music to let my inner soul soak in the blissful moments that brings the vital energy to calm my wavering mind and make me feel at peace.

Relaxing on the bench at the railway platform, I am now making it as a practice to listen to chants with ease.  

Instead of speaking to someone over the phone and disturbing others around you, play the chants and bring peace and prosperity to the place where you are.  Wherever you are, it will bring the bliss of peace without fail.

Now I am not travelling but I am walking to my work place. Can walking be a better tool to simulate you to be in a world of trance? Definitely. While walking on the busy road, I have to keep my eyes on the rushing traffic before me, and be cautious to the beeping sound of two-wheelers or four-wheelers behind me.

Yet, it is a new experience. I have been reciting different slokas while I walk my way. Protected by an umbrella from the scorching sunlight, I walk while reciting slokas for a number of times so that my mind will also be at peace.

Walking may be a good exercise to keep you fit and healthy.  But I could not think of anything while walking on the busy road where two wheelers and four wheelers rush their way.  No one is ready to wait.  Just a few seconds.  The screeching sound of horns will shock you to the core.  A shocking experience.
