Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hello to everyone; My wife and I have been practicing KY for almost a year now and both of us feel that it has benefited us enormously. We feel that not only has it made us stronger but in some ways has softened us, made us more aware of what other people are going through, much less opinionated, quieter. However, the further we seem to go down this path the fewer people are around us. We do not even speak about what we are doing except to say that we do at least an hour of yoga a day. We have made no drastic changes in our lifestyle that people would notice. Yet it seems that they are noticing something. What is this?? Its frustrating and potentially depressing. Is this a normal thing to happen? A process or time that will end? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Regards J. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I've been practicing KY for a little less than a year, so I can't speak about the long-term effects. However, I do know what you mean. I think that you have made changes that others do see. You say your less opinionated and more receptive to the feelings and needs of others. I have also noticed that quality in myself. With that I've noticed that I edit my speech to accomodate that. I don't enjoy gossip, and I try to speak positively even when I am shooting down a coworkers ideas. I would say that these are changes that others notice. My coworkers noticed and commented even in the beginning. I tell them when I've made spiritual and physical break-throughs. I dont sing it in the halls but I do enjoy sharing my achievements with my friends. When I'm really angry or not being very calm (I can be a hot head sometimes) they will actually just mention things about my practice and it brings me back into the moment. Also I just did a nutritional cleanse (there was no hiding that) I explained it from the beginning and my group was very supportive and interested in the whole process. They are supportive because they know it is important to me. Perhaps your friends and coworkers just need time to get used to the change they see in you. Perhaps you should be more open about what you and your wife are doing. I believe the support is out there. I am very happy that you and your wife practice together. SAT NAM Better first dates. More second dates. Personals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 You are creating your reality by how you think. If your consciousness is moving to a different level, you will attract those people and things at that new level of consciousness. Those things and people at your older, lower level of consciousness will invariably fall away. While this may seem disconcerting and depressing, realize that these are changes that you and your wife have initiated, and while there may be a transition period, those that you are now attracting will surely appear in your life.
