Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Sat Nam Ruth... ....I love a good "coming home" story... After practicing KY for three months I was hit with the realization that I too had "come home". I know at some point you make that decision to rely on the teachings, just to carry you through all that "life stuff" instead of it being an extra load. Although I haven't strayed from Ky since I started, the first 25 years of my life were my being "lost" years. And I'm so glad to be home now! All light, Sat Sangeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Sat Nam Ruth, And you are most welcome! I'm also in the UK, one hour South West of London. Who are you doing your teacher's training with? Level 1 or 2? Are you aware that there will be 1 day of White Tantric later this month, in London? I think it's the 25th, but you can check the website www.whitetantricyoga.com for the exact info. Blessings to you!
