Two Worlds

Charlotte is a complex person. It was impossible to argue with that. Because of her temper, she was always rebellious. She never sought to be someone for someone. She always had her own way, and she followed only this path, despite all the difficulties. She did not know if Alaina understood everything that the Frenchwoman wanted to convey to her or not. And even if she understood, Charlotte was not sure that the American girl was in solidarity with this position. Charlotte did not consider Alaina an enemy or a peculiar target. But now the Amazon was her rival. Fighting was not her job or hobby. Fighting is part of Charlotte herself. And she will do everything necessary to become better, like a fighter. This is the way.

- I'm glad you agreed, - Charlotte said again with a small smile, - usually I don’t have anyone to share peace with... so... thanks.

Now she still could not perceive Alaina as her friend, but the pink-haired girl did not deny that she really was glad that now the American girl decided to stay with her. It caused a certain feeling... fullness. After all, she really spent most of her time alone.

- In that case, - Sand Lizard began, - I will ask you to sit down. Near me or opposite me, as you please.

Despite the fact that Charlotte called herself the master of martial arts and the fact that she had her own school of martial arts, she still has not taught anyone meditation. However, she was going to show herself from the best side.

- Cross your legs, as I did, and find a relaxed position for your back, - said Charlotte, - this pose is called Sukhasana. In meditation, there are about 84,000 different poses. But my master said that, having mastered Sukhasana, it would not be necessary to master the remaining poses. I think he is right.

The girl followed Alaina to take the correct and comfortable position before continuing.

- Next, we move on to the position of the hands and fingers. These positions are called mudras. Different mudras are responsible for different aspects. I prefer dhyana mudra, which means concentration. For this mudra you need to put straightened right palm on straightened left palm, with the inner sides up, and then connect the thumbs together. Buddha himself preferred this particular mudra.

Charlotte again checked that Alaina did everything right, being ready to gently correct her actions if necessary. After all, now will began difficult and interesting.

- Yes, like that. Now... close your eyes. Take a deep inhale and a slow exhale, - Charlotte also did what she was talking about, - and again. Let oxygen fill your body. Oxygen is life, so let your body be filled with plenty of life.

Despite the fact that the girl had a good grasp of meditation in absolute stillness, she began her first attempts with the exact technique that she was now showing to Alaina.

- Let your skin feel the sun touch it nicely. Feel the wind play with your light brown hair. Let your ears hear the sounds of nature. Hear the birds sing. Hear the rustle of tree branches. Everything in the world is in harmony and balance. Everything interacts with each other and everything affects each other. You can feel the sun and wind affecting you, right?

And now Charlotte was ready to reveal the true essence, which was to immerse both girls in meditation.

- But you are not a separate part of this world. You are only part of something bigger. You are the wind. You are the sun. Everything that exists is one whole, only in different forms. Therefore, when the wind affects you, it is only you that affect yourself. Accept this and your feelings will become aggravated many times, but at the same time your mind will become free, giving you spiritual balance.

Having said the last word, Charlotte plunged into meditation. Even she needed time in order to lose her stillness and truly become one with nature. However, her mind was able to quickly accept this truth, and therefore she did not need much time for such a technique of meditation. She really wanted Alaina to feel the way Charlotte now feels. But even if Amazon couldn’t do it the first time, she was here to help her, because in the end they were both not bad people. Maybe they really lived in two different worlds, but now Charlotte was really glad that she was not alone. So this day was good.
