As Above So Below
There was once this place in the arts district in a downtown area, a place that offers Tao Chi instruction, around 15 years ago...This training center also had a small cafe inside as well as a few yoga mats to the side of a large center stage, a wooden deck where over 20 people were lined up with their instructor in front of them...

I used to visit this place on Thursday evenings, have a cup of tea and sometimes a small pastry and talking with a couple other people who frequented the place and observe the movements and feel the energy of the participants...Well there happened that a middle aged man started coming in and would sit on a yoga mat in a meditative position and meditate...I would sometimes be there for an hour or more and this fellow would not move but meditate the entire time I was there...

This particular incident occurred a couple times, he came in and meditated, it was if you could feel his presence close to you and all around you at the same time, not only me but every single person in the room felt this...All of the people participating in Tai Chi at one point stopped, even their instructor stopped, all looked at his fellow...

He did not open his eyes but continued meditating, 20 people walked up close to him before he stopped and opened his eyes to see himself surrounded by people...The instructor spoke up and said to please stop as it is disrupting the class...The second time the fellow did this and stopped the class the instructor asked him to stay until the class was over to speak to him in private...

What I felt when this happened was a warm feeling all over my body, as if the temperature of the room was raised and it felt like someone was not only behind me, but beside me, and close in front of me...It felt like the presence of that fellow close around me, and others I spoke to later said the same thing...Its like he expanded his energy throughout the room...
