Welcome newcomer

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam, Jeff:

Welcome aboard. I am also 42 years old and joined KY in

March '05 on-line. I've been using the free on-line training lessons,

jumping in and committing to a 40 day meditation with some people in the

KY group on-line because the nearest classes would be three hours away

from me in Pittsburgh. I've purchased some lovely meditative music &

chant CD's and look forward to purchasing some books and DVD's. I'm

concerned right now with getting the 40 days in a row in, as I've not

successfully done this yet. I'm on my way now that I'm accountable to

the group.

I too, think your questions are good ones and look forward

to the group's responses. Often times, one person asks a question and

the responses help many people. I have previously expressed to the

group that I can get in touch with my higher power during meditation and

have had esoteric experiences, but have difficulty incorporating or

feeling this greatness throughout my day and this confused and

frustrated me. I often over-react to stress and get overwhelmed or feel

timid more often than what I would prefer. Sat Sangeet Kaur explained

it best to me by saying that although during meditation, we can

experience vast states of consciousness, it doesn't mean that we embody

that consciousness yet. It may take one hour ...or one lifetime... to

fully integrate an experience of new consciousness into our everyday

life.

I have explored different healing modalities for the past 12

years and am curious where this will take me. Best wishes to you on

your journey.

Blessings,

Brenda
