Journey to Dark Matter and Dark Energy

• “WACURI™ - Journey to Dark Matter and Dark Energy" is a five-minute guided visualization exploring recent proposals and discoveries from scientists that as much as 94% of the Universe is made of Dark Energy and Dark Matter, inviting you to deep universal connection.

• This journey is led by Dan Spinner, a 30-year Life Coach, Aikido Master and Mindfulness Teacher, who was the CEO for the Deepak Chopra Foundation, and advisor to other organizations dedicated to positive change..

• Like other Wacuri™ journeys, the goal is to enable busy modern people to build the habit of quickly dropping into a deep state of connectedness with self, others and the sacred universe.

• Wacuri™ is short for “Wake Up Curious,” and is a method of five-minute guided social meditation – followed by deep sharing among the participants – developed by Dan and his partners in Wacuri.

Transcript

Take a nice couple of deep breaths please in your own rhythm.

Adjust your posture to be comfortable.

And come with me on a journey today to dark matter and dark energy.

Imagine you are traveling through space way beyond the earth out past our galaxy.

We're going to a galaxy cluster of your choice for this is where dark matter is easiest to sense.

And imagine then that you're heading towards not a galaxy but a gathering of galaxies,

A flock of galaxies,

A galaxy cluster as the astronomers call it.

So take a moment now and find a galaxy cluster that calls to you different shapes,

Different sizes of galaxies in their eternal dance.

And as you get closer notice their differences.

So one galaxy is a spiral,

Perhaps another is globular,

Perhaps another is strung out,

Perhaps another is full of bright gases.

Let your imagination reign free for these many different kinds of galaxies.

And feel that when you encounter them they encounter you.

And now imagine if you will around this galaxy cluster a cloud that appears somehow to be darker.

Almost black but not really.

And we can see the gravitational impact of dark matter but we can't see it.

It doesn't appear to interact with electromagnetic waves.

It does have gravity.

Feel it.

Since it cannot really be seen,

Feel it.

Feel the gravitational pull of 25% of the mass of the universe.

Dark matter.

Take a moment and have your own encounter.

It's different.

It's beyond knowing.

And yet we can sense it.

And just on the edges of dark matter even larger,

75% of the universe or 65% dark energy.

Even more formless.

Somehow a critical piece of our reality that with our thinking minds we cannot figure out.

But imagine for a moment that dark energy is the substance that actually connects us all.

The things we cannot touch or feel that are real whether it's love or intuition.

Anything nameless may reside in the realms of dark energy.

Stoke for a moment in these possibilities.

That which connects all.

Feel it if you can with your body.

Feel it if you can.

Be it for a moment.

Dive into dark energy.

And with it dark matter.

And with it the energy that holds the space for the entire universe.

Let yourself be large enough to imagine this.

For if we know what connects us,

Then we can live in that connection.

Give thanks.

And when you're ready,

Come back into the room and have a wonderful day.

Reviews

That was really special- my fears resisted listening to this because I thought I was inviting dark energy into my space, but I’m glad I listened as it really expanded my consciousness 🙏

This was beautiful

Fantastic meditation!

I've always round cosmology and science to be quite spiritual. Nice to listen to a meditation combining two of my interests:spirituality and science!

Something very strange and wonderful happened. Need a bit of time to get my head around it. Thank you so much 🙏🏼😊

Excellent, I wished it was longer

Another interesting one....I actually had chills or something??!!! Very cool. Thank You ☺

Very intriguing. I only wish it was longer. ❤️🙏

Interesting and actually profound!

This was really nice, different and soothing. I will definitely be returning to it again!! Thank you!!

Great little trip for the imagination! I finished this filled with wonder.

Thank you - What a gift - compelling and freeing

That was super cool! Thank you <3

What a wonderful float! I typically only find such peace when physically floating in water. I also surprisingly found myself softly connected to my sexuality, on the cusp of arousal yet moreso in a shameless celebration of my feminity. Thank you for the gift of this meditation. Thank you for facilitating self-appreciation and sense of belonging. Powerful. I appreciate you. Blessings...🥀🙏☮️

Always a trip, deep and amazing 🌞

Loved everything about this: The voice, the concepts, the connection.

Wow! Loved this!! Connecting science and spirituality, great for us logically brained.

A nice, albeit brief, journey through the neighboring galaxies. The concept of Darker and unknowing energies, is always an interesting topic to meditate on; and this is a nice introduction to that very idea.

Much more than I expected!
