Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Christa I enjoyed you detailed story too. This group has really helped me. I seem to need to "talk" about the stuff that is happening to me. It isn't just advice that I need. I need some confirmation the I exist in a world that others can comprehend. I am doing much better with Sadhana than when I was doing it alone. This group is better than having a class to go to. In classes I rarely communicate with anyone about the yoga through words. The yoga is easy to do alone. The problem is interpreting my responses to it. I think in detail and I need to write the way you do. By the way, I always tell students that Ong Namo Guru dev namo... the opening invocation is a connection with the golden chain of teachers past and present. I find that when I teach, it is as though someone else were teaching me. I say things that i had not thought of before and I am learning from that "golden chain".
