From a Newby

[Guest guest]

I have been reading the posts now for about 2 weeks and so finally I have

decided to

introduce myself. I think my k-experiences started when I was about 13 years

old. I went

to Bible camp and one night I was watching the camp fire, listening to singing,

when I was

filled with " love " . It was like the love of god that made the universe, was

filling me and

making me explode. I cried and cried all night long. In the morning someone old

and

mature told me that it was Jesus and the Holy Ghost. A month or so after that, I

started

having night terrors, which were excruciating to me and lasted in my life until

my early

20s.

 

A few years later, some one helped me to speak in tongues for the first time.

Again I was

filled with impossible energy while I spoke in words my mind did not give any

meaning. I

felt as hot as the sun while I burned away into nothing. There was only the

tongues. After

that I became a super bible fanatic and tortured my family for the next couple

of years.

 

Just after college I began meditating and practicing chakra exercises. I had on

a few

occasions experienced " high voltage " in my body and spine. During my 20s I

dreamed all

of the time, even while awake. I had some friends who practiced meditation, read

a lot of

theosophical books and frequented psychic fairs. During these years I was not

effective in

a work setting, consequently, I struggled financially.

 

For the next 20 years I devoted myself to working. Finishing my education and

being a

good spouse. Recently, I have rediscovered yoga and meditation since it helps me

greatly

when I am teaching, which I have been doing for 5 years in special ed in public

school. It

keeps me calm and relaxed and yet energized. It allows my instinct and intuition

to

respond when I need it. Unlike in my 20s, the meditations and yoga are helpful

to me. I

think what I was missing was " grounding " for all of the energy I was raising. I

practice sikh

kundalini yoga and meditation. I also practice Iyengar style yoga, which I find

to be gentle

enough to do every day. I am interested in learning about chanting with yantras.

I have

read a couple of books about it and I want to try it. I will try anything at

least once. I have

been open to experimentation my whole life and I have been maintaining a daily

practice

for about 3 years.

 

So far I enjoy the posts. I have been learning about various practices and

techniques for

raising energy, such as the exercises in the files. I am looking forward to

participation with

this group.

 

love and blessings,
