Sat Nam Kartar Kaur!

I would recommend Wild Oat which is wonderful for the inability to focus or

make commitment.

Blessings in Health!

[Guest guest]

Thank You Guru Ravi Kaur,

 

Thank you for your words and encouragement. We have an appointment

today with a woman who does art therapy and Ti Chi. We'll learm more

about what she can offer to us today. She can integrate some

breathing and energy work along with the art. I think that is a way

to keep our daughter interested, yet slowly add internal control

techniques.

I have read Eckhard Tolles books. In fact, I recently finished a

study on "Stillness Speaks" at our Quaker study group. I really

conneted with his material. I can identify with the "pain body", or

negative energy. What is difficult is to seperate myself from my

daughters depression. I can do my practice or go to a spiritual group

and definetly raise my energy, but when I am arround her the

depression can seep into me. Durring school breaks it gets to be long

periods and I get off balance. Also, I feel so much for her that I

sort of "take it on". I went to my family doctor myself about my own

depression arround this. He gave me Zoloft. I took it for 3 days, but

didn't like it. Right after that I had a workshop on Yoga Nidra. I

was lifted so high from it that it was obviouis I didn't need a drug,

just my practice and some way to keep a balance with my daughter.

Progress is slow, but she is showing interest in an Anemie (Japanese

animation)convention. She loves this, and it's great to see some

passion over something. She is also a bit excited about our trip to

Bahamas we will be taking in a month or so. I hope we can give her

some internal gifts and tools. It is good to have a passion toward

the external, but as most spiritual seekers know, an internal

connection is the path. The external can be a trap if you rely on it

for all your satisfaction and pleasure. I appreciate your feedback.

Shanti
