I entered this large hall with a swimming area. It was a stone enclosure that looked 'old'...but wasn't. The pool was clear and had blue tiles in the bottom. I was thinking of swimming but found 9 women already swimming there. Why 9? I do not know. I didn't count them. I just 'knew' there was 9 of them. I also notice that they spanned the age spectrum... but all were older adults, with some being very old.
Not wishing to disturb them, and them not paying any attention to me, I decided to sit down at the end of the pool and meditate instead. I cleared my mind and after a bit I noticed that my body began to feel lighter. I just took this realization in without any surprise or extra emotion. Curious, I looked to my right hand and noticed a spot in the palm. I willed that spot to manifest into the form it should take and then suddenly a plant started to grow from it. I willed it to keep forming and it grew into a lovely lotus blossom. The blossom glowed as if white iridescent light was emanating from it. As it grew, I could feel my body rise from the ground and levitate. The more it grew and blossomed, the higher I levitated and the lighter I felt. I willed the flower back to it's original state, and when I did, my body sat back down on the ground.
I played with this process a few times. That was when I noticed that it felt like something was weighing on my body, pushing me back down, even when the lotus was fully grown. I looked down at my body for the first time and I noticed that a reddish colored, with gold trim mantle, was draped across my left shoulder, over my 'heart' and across my right hip. It too had an iridescent quality to it. Dispassionately, I decided to see what would happen if I lifted the mantle off my shoulder. When I did, it was like my body and spirit was 'naked,' filled with light and I had absolutely no weight at all.
I played with this mantle a few times as well, removing and replacing it. I also did a bit of 'dancing' around and stretching out while I levitated. I realized that at any moment I could entirely remove the mantle, and somehow knew, that if I did...I would have no desire to go back to wearing it. I felt no shame, or really any strong emotions at all, in this process. I determined that this was not the time though to remove the mantle. I replaced the mantle back on my shoulder and willed the flower back into my palm. When doing so, my body settled back on the ground. I got up and left the room....never once stepping into the pool before me.
All this time, none of the other ladies even noticed what I was doing...nor did I care if they did or not.
