shaktipat expectations first timers - Rich

[Guest guest]

So much may be going on below the surface,

Rich. I didn't feel anything for a long time,

yet kept going. It does take intention and

constantly focusing and refocusing on the

direction I wanted to move into. Every morning

still I have to direct my mind away from sleep.

Its like breaking gravity, the momentum needs

to build. You can't see or feel that momentum

building, but when it reaches a certain point

or frequency, then you begin to move without

so much effort...You break free of the current

of the river, the dreaming mind, which is a

powerful current that continuously tries to

draw us back in. That's what I have found.

It didn't happen on its own for me, it has

been a constant flow of intention and feeding

that direction. Each Shaktipat is another

spiral of grace and focus that helps to enter

more fully into the life of Spirit and Kundalini.

Hope that encourages you a little.

 

Love, dhyana

have been feeling very little with the shktipats but I keep on going.

happening I gave up on them.
