Almost two weeks ago I decided to start mirror meditation. It is something that I had read about some years ago and the idea has fascinated me since. Sometimes when I'm looking at things, my eyes will slightly unfocus and I'll see something in it. I have been seeing things like this ever since I can remember. I'll be looking at slightly mottled colour variations in tile and I'll suddenly see a samurai. Or the rain drops on the window will suddenly become a cat. These eye tricks is why I have been fascinated with mirror meditation. Sit comfortably in front of a mirror. Lit candle off to the side but so direct reflection can't be seen in the mirror. Then stare at yourself in the mirror without blinking. I've read quite a few things about what happens. One of the common denominators is that your face will shift and change. Lots of other things about this, but face changing seems to be the main thing. Tricks in the mirror... care for some urban legends? Heh. So I did do this every night for as long as my eyes would let me. I am getting better at keeping my eyes open, but still lots of room for improvement. I guess anywhere from two to ten minutes. Yeah, my face changed. Once I got past a certain point in keeping my eyes open, my face did indeed start shifting around. I didn't find it scary at all - I think it is damn cool. But after a few days, I became stuck. The nature of the face changing had changed and it didn't feel right. It felt artificial and fake. Suddenly different and somehow wrong. Going on intuition, I took off my glasses and gave it another go. Holy crap my face started flying again! Staring at myself in the mirror all blurry, but face changes all over the place. And it felt completely honest. It felt good. I literally can not see myself clearly with my own naked eyes, but I was suddenly seeing myself clearer than ever. I learned a little something in that little twist of irony. Heh.
