Yes, I've been accused of that before. :-)

Apparently, it is all I know.

I've got the will if you have the way.

Great... send it on!

Graci. As I'm sure I need to learn the basics.

My whole life I have skipped over them and went straight to advanced in

whatever I did, and learned the basics along the way. LOL funny but true.

You send it, I'll practice.

If I won't practice, I'll work on the attachment

I have that is stopping me from practicing it. :-))

 

Back to my piano lessons...

(ok, I lied, a good movie is coming on)

 

Thanks for your all your help Dharma.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

 

Much Love,

There are many kinds of meditation. But what strikes me is that what

you've been doing is staying on the mental level and observing your

thoughts. Why not just leave that whole level behind and go to the next

one, where you won't notice the thoughts of the thinking mind? That's what

we do in the method I usually teach. I'll send you what I wrote about

it... this was written for an on-line group of young parents, so it's just

simple languge... doesn't even mention chakras and Kundalini. Actually,

it doesn't require active K.... anyone can do it. :)

 

I'll send the first class too... actually, it's the basic method. In a

new group, I usually get everyone above the thinking level just briefly...

in the first class. Then it's a matter of practice, so you can stay there

longer and have more control.

 

Love,

Dharma
