2 strange, but nice things happened to me today…

So I’ve been meditating pretty consistently over the last week or so and today when I went for a run, I had 70-80% less negative thoughts and anxiety. Also, for the first time like EVER, I saw a few random people smile at me… People look and stare, that’s fairly common, but never have I ever been smiled at before by total strangers…
I wonder if meditation and mantra-japa change your aura in some ways… Because 24 years and this has never happened. A week into meditation and this happens. It’s uncanny
