The Gaia Curse!

Hello. I wanted to share an awkward experience. I was at my school library today. As there was no one there I wanted to invite Lady Gaia. So I tried to meditate and focus. In my mind,I kept praying. After a while I gave up,as I couldn't feel any presence; but after 5 minutes,I felt like 10 ants biting me simultaneously at my back,just right below the shoulder! Ouch! I inserted my hand into my shirt,but no ants were there! This has never happened to me before. My back was really itchy! I call it : The Gaia Curse !

Can anyone tell me why it happened?

When you were meditating where was your mind wondering to?

If your mind was focusing on your body (which might be understandable since you were thinking about the earth and your body is closest to the earth), then that can cause you to increasingly notice things like itches, aches or pains. It's actually quite a common problem during mediatation. I get itchy noses all the time when I meditate.

The link above gives a much more detailed scientific proof but if you don't want to slog through the reading it can be summarised as basically if you start focusing on it the itch will become increasingly worse.

But it happened 5 minutes after the meditation.

Doesn't matter. It takes time for things like that to manifest.

Why were you reaching out to Gaia?

Do you think it worked? Was Gaia there?

Of course she was. She is everywhere, as long as you are on this Earth. All the meditation does is opens you up to her, and by extent catches her attention.

Any number of things may have happened.

My guess is you're not accustomed to her energy, or that much power, or something like that, and your body reacted.

But judging by your intent, any number of things could have happened.

Either way, stop calling it a curse.

Gaia is the Goddess of Earth, mother of Zeus, and Rhea and connected to ALL of earth. She is all things and all good. ease don't refer to the Mother as a curse. If your meditative request wasn't pure of heart, then the pain you felt was rightly a reprimand.
