What is Easter Sunday? Meditating with bunnies?

It was still dark outside, and I was in a profound sleep, when I  suddenly heard an alarming noise that made me jump out of bed. Our alarm system broke up loudly at 6:30 am.  As we  rushed down the stairs we found silence all around  the house

and found no broken windows or doors. A bird might have crushed on our basement sliding glass door.  Or was it the Easter bunny?

Sundays, I usually sleep on a litter longer catching up from my busy week, but this Sunday morning I was forced to get up from my bed.   My feeling tells me something had to awaken me, because today is a special day. And my desire was to be in touch with the essence of what Easter Sunday really means.

As I returned to my bed I fell into a deep meditation and started to pray to God in reverence of this special day. I had a glorious sensation of peace and harmony, and felt connected with Spirit. I was yearning to capture more and more the meaning of this magnificent day.

So what is Easter? It’s a day to celebrate the greatest miracle of “Spiritual Awakening”. A day when our ego, our selfish motives, were nailed on the cross” to save us once and for all. So that we may live! That is unconditional love. Jesus voluntarily gave his life for us. He said “I am the Resurrection and the Life.”

This gives us an opportunity to stop our ego from running our life show. Our ego is that part of us that manipulate us in thinking, how important or insignificant we are, how intelligent or stupid we feel, how rich or poor we are, and how we judge others with the same type of measure. Its the one that makes us feel miserable and gets us in trouble. It separates us from God. Is it a mask that we use to cover ourselves in order to pretend to be that which we are not?

Now,   we have the potential to be resurrected in this life time, without having to wait until we die, so that we can live with peace, freedom and joy. It’s a choice we can make! It’s up to us to take it, and it requires from our part the desire to have it.

Freedom and Grace are two powerful things that most of us believe are impossible to fulfill in our life time. And this is what this miraculous day is all about. Nevertheless, freedom and grace is not something to have or to achieve, is something to experience.  It’s not doing,  its being. We are our experience, that’s it.  It is the moment we have right now.  In John 8:58 Jesus says, “before Abraham was, I Am” He didn’t say I was.

We are in the eternal moment of being, and it’s up to us to embrace the grace of allowing ourselves to experience the Resurrection of Christ and the Power of His Love.
