I N T U I T I O N -- another level reached

[misslinda]

~Greetings Dear Friends ! ~

I want to share some delightful news with you all.

As you know, I have been meditating quite loyally since last Summer. Through my RAW journey, I have become very sensitive to my body's communication style and the language it speaks when speaking to me. My intuiton had increasingly become more vivid since then...........

As of this late afternoon, I finally progressed and heard the "audio" intuitive ability within in me while meditating during fasting mode. It was a combination of meditating while lying down, using specific crystals and concentrating on specific organs............

My hands were placed in the area of my kidneys as I focused on them. Next thing happens,,,,,,,,I [hear] the sound of ocean waves crashing.........it was very vivid in my ears..........my CD playing was instrumental piano so I didn't second guess it be that playing. When it happened, I didn't even question, I "knew" and proceeded onward..............

Five minutes later, I had an incredible releasing of fluids and the pain in my kidneys diminshed.

The experience was inwardly intimate and my hope is that you will embrace the language of your body thru raw.

the language or your body thru raw,
ml :)

[karenbeel]

Yes raw works and this is how I was 100 percent healed.


Sincerely Shernell :D

[Conscious Midwife]

WOW

WOW
I need to start listening to my body more. i always second guess myself.

[rawpriestess]

Oh Misslinda, I am so happy for you.

a miraculous healing HOW TOTALLY Marvelous.

[karenisraw]

misslinda,

I had the weirdest thing happen the other day. I had an audio situation too but it was not as mystical and wonderful as yours. It was just weird.

I was taking a nap. In the middle of a deep sleep, IN MY BRAIN, and not my ears, I heard what sounded something like someone hitting a tin watering can with a spoon ONCE! I woke up immediately and all of the sudden as I awoke, I felt a tingling sensation go througout my arms. It was not a loud bang, but like a little bang.

Is that weird or what.

k

[misslinda]

Livingatthetop: Looking forwar dto partying with you and Lanasq :)

Lifeagift: I believe everyone has that ability and when you encounter it, please do share :)

Rawpriestess: *smiles * I ought to view it as a miracle--never worded it that way :)

Karen: Everyone's experience is mystical and wonderful! I have to ask, what do you think yours meant?

:)

[Conscious Midwife]

Any encounter I remember from a while back, had to do with an attempt at pain management. I was using prayer, meditation and healing visualization to deal with joint and nerve pain. During one of "my sessions" I was "given" the imager of flashing light like a pulsing sunburst (blinking like 'puter cursers) along various vertebrae of my kneck and back.

It was something like c6, L 4, L6 etc...

There were five distinct points These same points returned to me in a dream and would pop up in my memory throughout the day, for several days. So one day I looked up the points on an anatomical chart I had from college A&P. The inervations of various nerves at theses points were directly linked to places of pain that I was having throught my body. I held this in my heart for a while, intended to follow up with an "MD/ or chiropractor" , but didn't. When visualizng on a regular basis I noticed that day to day pain was diminishing. WHOA!!!

It was awesome, and needed. Then one day I stupidly share my blessed experience ( in brief) with a doubter, el persona negativo. I internalized their doubt, made it my own and blew off my visual experience plus ability to self heal.

In hingsight I should have continually worked with the sunburst, yield to the message and mediated through the healing. I feel like I am being taught a lesson now regarding this particular healing because I yet to remeber all the correct cervical and lumbar points and/ or innervations. I had even written them down, can't find it. I no longer dimiss my iner voice/ intuition/ inner eye and I yield. Especially when it comes to my children. Immediaely when my little ones are feeling blah I apply touch,massage , water, nutrition etc... whatever I feel is called for and I visulaized their positive outcome. It's been awesome.

NOW TO JUST REWIND AND RERECORD MY MINDS SCRIPT, concerning weightloss and optimal fitness. On several occassions I've caught myself talking myself out of "weightloss" and even disregarding and negating genuine compliments from others on my vitality and appearance.

Hmmmm

I've got work to do!
Thank you MissLinda for yielding and sharing. :o

[misslinda]

Lifeagift: AMAZING! I just came out of meditation and certain spine points came to me too!!! :eek: it was a real treat for you to share you experiece and VERY fascinating for sure :) Do you have any special meditations practices or modalities you can share?

Right now, I have redecorated my room with all white. Love messages are poste near me head. I have my crystals,music playing 24/7 and water. I am facing and sleeping east-west direction. Oils of bergamot and eucalyptus scents the room.

I would love to hear what other meditators use etc......


Healing energy to you,
;)

[heabrook]

Misslinda.. that is wonderful!! It is both beautiful and amazing that the body can heal itself.. and that you can heal your own body. I truly believe that we all have the power within ourselves to heal ourselves! As well as heal others (Reiki etc).

:) :) :)

I love your style Heather! :)

[karenisraw]

misslinda,

I had posted about that tin watering can bang in my head while I was sleeping. You asked what it meant. I don't really think it meant anything. Because I felt tingling in my arms immediately when it happened, I wonder if it was something physical that happened in my brain, like a chemical reaction or something. I just started taking suppliments and finetuning my food choices based upon some vitamins and minerals that have to do with brain function because I am trying to maximize my brain potential. I don't have a clue what it was but I felt that it was positive, because I popped right out of bed and felt really happy afterward. Maybe a constricted brain nerve came back to life or something.

It was just weird.

k
:) :)

[misslinda]

Karen that would be too cool if it was a constricted nerve that was prompted by that tin sound! Especially the fact you had the tingling in teh arm.

[Nenyath]

Wow Misslinda! Thats quite amazing really! I am not that far myself though I am improving.. I do "hear" things from time to time though, things which seems audible but I know is not. The most recent was a message from my guides I think one morning just when I woke up. It was as clear to me as someone had said it out loud in our domitory. They told me to learn the Rosen Method and travel around with it, healing and not asking charges but accepting donations. I guess they either got tired of my ponderings about what to do or took pity in me, for I have been thinking for a long time with my reason battling with my dreams..

Fly forever free,
Nenyath

[Indi]

Dear ML

Thankyou for sharing your story.
It is beautiful.

I truely believe that the more that you open, trust and practice, the connection deepens and the easier and more natural these experiences become.
It sounds like you are having fun!
Enjoy!

[Lunar*Fey]

Congradulations MissLinda!!! That is absolutely wonderful...and inspiring! I need to start meditating again :)

[Raw Jewelrylady]

MissLinda-Very interesting. Do you use "feng shei" in the placement of furniture/colors...etc. Just curious.

I am soooo happy to hear of the healing. I have a LOT of crystals..never used them for healing.

:) Interestingly Lanasq, I dabbled with Feng Shei years ago and wasn't into reading about it but some of the "principles" I've naturally find myself doing. I typically walk into my room or a room and [feel] what needs to be moved and what angle. I reaarrange things quite often--probably even more now than ever :D Same with colors. How 'bout you? What kind of crystals? ;)

[PATH301]

hello misslinda,

I use this site rather often because I go to this health food store. They have this interesting A.M.,(alternative medicene) area on this site. here's an assessment page for a test to see where you are:
http://www.naturescupboardsuperstore.com/common/adam/Convergence.asp?htu=&convergence_id=776&storeID=CBD6F7BA1B824F4F813DDEEFEE0E82E2

Tell me what you think?

[Pansy]

Hey Path,

Hope you don't mind, but I took the little quiz. Came out a "pitta"! Yes, and that is the lesson I am working on.....LOL!!

What were you, if you don't mind me asking?

Stay Strong and Thanks,

Pansy ;)

[PATH301]

hi Pansy,
mine was a "pitta" as well :D
Some where on that site is a chakara test that I took about 3 monthes ago, though for some reason right now I can't seem to find it.

On the pitta thing I did this just yesterday for about 3 hours:

Leave one- to two-hour openings in your schedule every few days, and plan nothing for those times. Pittas’ innate desire to control and organize themselves and the situations around them can be extreme. Leaving one’s schedule open may not be comfortable to a pitta person, but discomfort is usually a good indication of imbalance.

It also says to do this:
Set aside at least 5 minutes per day, either at the very beginning or the very end, to establish a meditation practice. The best meditations for pitta involve the sense of sight, so try meditations that require sitting and contemplating a candle, or listen to a guided-visualization tape.

This for me is hard, I find it tough at times to do this without being bothered.

But this part is totally me :D :

Choose challenging but non-competitive forms of exercise. Non-team sports such as snow skiing, running, kayaking, and cycling, among others, will keep you in good shape while balancing pitta’s competitive nature.

I'm a very sound sleeper and hard to wake up generaly - unless I sense an intruder on or around my property - then watch out!
So some of those things were correct and some were not. What about you?

[Pansy]

Hi Path,

I agree....it's like horoscopes! Some things are and some aren't about your self!

Been thinking about taking up jogging again...guess, I just need to do it...LOL!!!

Thanks for the web...it was fun! I bet the chakra one was interesting!

Stay Strong,

Pansy ;)

[misslinda]

I'm curious about this chakra one also......any luck Path? :)

[PATH301]

hey pansy and misslinda,
Go back to that site and take the chinese elemental medicine test and tell me what you think?
I just did it - it said that I was fire and metal both in excess. rather interesting :D

[Pansy]

Path....that is so cool!

LOL.....Haaahaaaahaaa!!!!

I am excess in Fire also...that's why the laugh! Geez...what does that mean?
LOL!!! and wood is deficient!

What fun and interesting like you said!

Thank You!

I am going to browse there more,

Pansy ;)

[CorporalChicken]

< Vata

That was an interesting questionnaire!

Miss Linda > your experience sounded incredible! I envy your discipline for meditation! I used to do it years ago in my teens, but these days life is too busy and crazy albeit in a boring way! You're an inspiration :)

[misslinda]

Crazy Corporal !!!!!!!!! your avatars inspire me---when will we see more? Is he a friend of yours? :)


What kind of meditation did you do before?

I use to have a hard time slowing mymind for even 5 minutes but learned thru pracetice I can meditate for short periods also and into a deep trance within 2 minutes.



Grazie ;)

[CorporalChicken]

LOL, I only have about five more pictures of that guy before I run out of funny avatars! I'll have to make up my own!

I used to really be into new age-y stuff. Crystals, incense, sitting in the full lotus, 'Om!', visualisations. Even then my mind would wander a bit. I'm more spiritual now, but the second I sit down to meditate- I recognise it relaxes me- but it's like I feel that I don't have time! Even for a few minutes! I get all jittery. Also my neck and shoulders hurt when I keep my back straight.

Why don't we swap minds? One mind, several previous owners, slightly warped for straight exchange!

[misslinda]

YES! or your face would be delightful :)

hey perhaps your spinal issues are contributing to this sense of jitteryness--since so many nerves run thru them? Did you have injuries to these areas?

:)

[misslinda]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! your avatar HA ha ...........LOVE IT :p

[CorporalChicken]

Hmm... I don't have any permanent injuries that I'm aware of BUT about fifteen years ago I was on the playing field at school in summer and I was showing off and done a standing backflip to land on my feet first * I am not a gymnast! * and I hit the rock-solid dirt field right on my lower back. If it hadn't have felt like I'd just been shot I'd have thought I was paralysed. I was seriously hurt but got up and starting walking around (like a drunk slug, but was walking nonetheless!) and was putting on my tough face.

I get a lot of aches probably cause of my job too (self-employed computer programmer).

Maybe I should give it all up and become a banana.... no, I'm too yellow-bellied for that. Boom boom! Sorry, in a silly mood!

WOW! that is trauma to the body!!!!!! Have you ever had your structure looked at? Computer programmer (very admirable)--my PT says alot of their patients that are ususally at a computer have neck and shoulder issues.


Geez, yur a sucker for pain--aintcha? :p

[CorporalChicken]

LOL yeah. Makes me feel more human :D

What's a PT? A pink turkey? :-)

[misslinda]

yur a riot! PT =physical therapist.

you are in UK....all your life? :)

[CorporalChicken]

Certainly am me ol' china!

('china' short for china plate: cockney rhyming slang for 'mate') :D

[misslinda]

LOL,,,,,,,are you one of those extremely goofey and extrememly quiet kinda peoples? :p

[CorporalChicken]

LOL! yeah! I can swing from being horribly anti-social to going bananas for a few hours straight. I think today is one of those days! Must be something I've eaten! I had a raw toenail for breakfast. Maybe it was that? Great for protein! ;)

[misslinda]

NO, I luv your personality!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

do you think not so much anti-social but just being "inwardly" and thinking? I get this way sometimes wher ei jsut want to be a spectator and not get too drawn by everyone's energies

[PATH301]

hey misslinda and Pansy,
I found the chakra test site:

http://www.eclecticenergies.com/chakras/chakratest.php

The test is free and so are the decriptions of what your lacking and how to open or increase or decrease. tell me what yours are ? :D

[PATH301]

hey you guys after you take the chakra test take the Enneagram test too. The first test asks a lot of questions most of them just repeat the question from different points of view. I came out as a type 1. Though not everything is completely correct but hey maybe that just the perfectionist in me? :D

[Pansy]

Hey Path,

Your right about alot of questions on the enneagram test! I am a Point 6: The questioner, skeptic, or devil's advocate. Which does sum me up pretty close! Have some things to work on now...way to go, Path........(just kidding....LOL!).

On the chakra test, I was open on all chakra's...pretty cool!
Maybe, because we just had reflexology done yesterday afternoon....LOL!!
How was your chakra test?

Keep me posted on other cool and fun test!

Thanks,

Pansy

[PATH301]

Hey Pansy,
my Chakra was:
root = under-active -6%
sacral = open - 56%
navel = open 56%
heart = open 63%
throat = over active 81%
third eye = over active 75%
crown open = 56%

So this was interesting, I'm still figuring this out in regards to the answers and how to open your chakra's.

On the enneagram:

type 1 - 10.3 - the Reformer - perfectionist, responsible,fixiated on improvement.
type 3 - 8.7 - The Achiever - focused on the presentation of success,, to attain validation.
type 2 - 8.3 - The helper - Helper's who need to be needed.
type 9 - 7.3 - the peacemaker - Keeping peace and harmony.
type 6 - 7.3 - The Loyalist - conflict between trust and distrust.
type 8 - 6.3 - the challenger - Taking charge , because they don't want to be controlled.
type 7 - 6. - The enthusiast - pleasure seekers and planners, in search of distraction.

This is what I wrote down for those definition. I did not get the ones below yet. I'll have to get hem later tonight ;)

wing 1w2 - 14.5
wing 1w9 - 14
wing 2w1 - 13.5

Tell me whatcha you got?

[Pansy]

Hi Path,

For the enneagram my results were:

Point 6
other types to consider:
wings Type 5 & 7
stress Type 3
security Type 9
look-alike Type 4

This is all I had! Very Interesting, indeed!

For the chakra:
Root Open (19%)
Sacral Open (19%)
Navel Open (50%)
heart Open (38%)
Throat Open (44%)
Third Eye Open (56%)
Crown Open (44%)

Going to have to tie a big boulder around you to keep you grounded...LOL!

Did you see where it said "techniques to open chakra's? I guess you will have to start meditating and sitting still....LOL!!! I do meditate each day, even if it's going in and listening to some relaxing music.

I'm still reading through on mine also!

Keep posting!

Pansy ;)

[Pansy]

Hey Path,

Here are some things I have been working on!

Just some suggestions, if you like to share ideas!

For the root chakra....I do a grounding technique (may already be mentioned on their site with the chakra test). I sit down and see/feel tree roots coming from my root chakra (or your butt...sorry for the french....He he!) going down into the earth and I see/feel tree roots going up from my crown chakra (the top of your head) up into the sky and I stay there for just a couple of moments and ask spirit to ground me! Trust people alittle at a time and open up and know that you are safe and feel safe. Listen, instead of speaking!

For the third eye chakra....always focus your attention on the "now" moment and live there...not in the past or future..always the present moment.

For the throat....meditate and relax within self.

I am still working on all of these things myself and not always easy!
Now, I really have to look at this enneagram....have to read some more about this....I have heard of this before, but that's it! Time for some schooling...LOL!

The chakra's I have worked alot with through Reiki.

Blessings and Light,

Pansy ;)

Hey misslinda check your email on auditory intuition :D

[misslinda]

Path, I am not home and don't have entry into my email while sis is logged into acct.

Basically it's when you can [hear] some people get music,voices,messages etc

I'll check it when I get back. :)

[RawTruth]

Misslinda -- email me - your address died along with my old computer.

[misslinda]

RT, I haven't been home for a week but I'll remind myself if you remind me to email you --I tend to be flighty :D

[PATH301]

Misslinda you must have some special type of service, coz I can get to mine from anywhere in world :rolleyes:

[RawTruth]

Yeah, me, too. Both Verizon and Yahoo. Wazzup with you, Misslinda? Get with the new, why dontcha? :p

Dang, I really wanted to talk to you about something. Oh well. Guess it'll wait.

I'm headed out to take a pizza fresh from the dehydrator to some friends in exchange for a piece (or several) of Choconut Extasy pie. Oh yeah, baby.

Oh -- sorry for taking this thread on a left turn. Well ... I guess it could be about intuition. I've been hit with shocks of intuition lately. Amazing stuff, actually. It's like it's been there all along but I've been looking the other way. Now that I'm flowing with it -- wow. Actually, I think I'm getting a flash right now and it has to do with chocolate. Ah, yes. I'm outta here!

(I WAS serious about most of that last paragraph, BTW.)

[PATH301]

Here's some of the links that I sent you concerning the different types of intuition:

http://www.drmarciaemery.com/askdrmarcia.htm

http://www.innerself.com/Miscellaneous/awareness.htm

I tend to lean more toward this one of the three - sometimes I’ll use vision and audio and I can sense a type of presence when I’m around certain type of people/ entities. Then at other times I seem to be clogged and unable to discern anything at all?
http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/learning/styles.html

This was me when i was a little kid and even now to some degree _ I may be shaking or bouncing my knee some time as I’m learning something new or exploring and finding things.
http://www2.yk.psu.edu/learncenter/acskills/kinesthetic.html

http://www.liwomen.com/intv_Orloff.htm

Tell me what you think?

[misslinda]

gee really you guys???? :rolleyes: :D

I could potentially log in BUT when my sis has laptop logged in 24/7 to the acct I cannot access it. it's drama long story don't want to detail it here. I'm worn out. :cool:

[PATH301]

It'sahrite! check out the links :D

[RawTruth]

Nice selection of articles, Path -- a few deal with learning styles rather than intuition. Interesting since I taught learning styles/multiple intelligence stuff. I especially like the review/interview with Dr. Judith Orloff about her book on intuitive empaths.

[Pansy]

Hey, Path!

For the enneagram my results were:

Point 6
other types to consider:
wings Type 5 & 7
stress Type 3
security Type 9
look-alike Type 4


That's all it said!

Pansy ;)

[PATH301]

Some times the most simplist approaches give more clues than those of complexity. Thus what i was trying to say to misslinda and you, (RawTruth), and whomever - is that everybody learns and uses their intuition differently. Of course I personally speak for myself here I may learn using the V.A. AND K'S, But I also use them as well when it comes to spiritual realms as well.

I found another link that describes a little more to your liking," so to speaK"
it's a very interesting article. I don't totally agree with everything here, but it is more to the intuition thread statement/ point of view:

http://www.angelfire.com/hi/TheSeer/intuition.html

here's a little test you can take on the subject for fun:

The 2-Variable Intuition Test
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=3890039532751104124

tell me what you think? :D

[misslinda]

Path GROOVY! Liked that first link........

[excerpt]
Intuition is what you use to find the purpose of your life and your place in the world. Once you awaken your inner guide by unlocking the wisdom of your subconscious mind, you already know what to do.


oki doki now I'm gonna take the test :D

[PATH301]

have you ever seen that movie with mel gibson and that little blonde hair girl that plays in all the alien movie's? I can't remeber her real name? Any way the movie was called something like "strangers among us"

basically one of the concepts for me was that everything that happens to us is for a purpose~~ either I created it consciously or subconiuously or I did nothing at all and some higher or different power did it for me for a purpose. Today i read my scope:
The last 2 weeks I've had no response from one of my friends and I've been kinda worried and frustrated at the same time - then I found out that my friend has been on leave so to speak, = then the scope says that not to frustrated your friend is having some problems right noe and you need to be patient and relax. Some times these scopes don't relate to me at all - but this time it's right on - who's controling that? Which god or higher power? - or is it my spirit? ~~interesting questions?

[misslinda]

Myself, I find my "creator" in everything. In experiences,people,things etc.

btw took the test, I am an official GEEK :D no suprise--math and science was my forte. :)

[PATH301]

hey misslinda,

on that test I scored as an empaths

55 % scientific intuition
62% emotional intuition :D

[Conscious Midwife]

I didn't like having to get an ofiial screen name just to get the score
I hope they don't email me

[misslinda]

Really? We didn't have to furnish a screenname LIfeagift......... :confused:

[Finding Me]

Ok guys. My interest has been peaked, but it seems I can't quite follow what you are all talking about on here. :D I'm SUPER NEW to meditating. So... On that note...

Miss Linda.. and any one else that cares to share...

Do you have any starter websites/books/DVD's that you would suggest to a newbie in the meditation world, so I can later follow what you are all talking about! :p

Thanks so much!!!

[Apasaraw]

MissLinda,
That is beautiful!!!
You were in tune with your body, spirit, the earth's ocean and all things at once...a real buddha/shaman moment.

[Finding Me]

bump... to see if anyone has a great suggestion on where to start. There's so much info, I'd love to have advice of those that already know about all this. Thanks!! :)

[Finding Me]

Well I guess no one does. :(

[misslinda]

Hey Finding Me,

My personal experience with intuition has been with the use of specific crystals to aid in development. Fort he most part, training myself to become more aware and listen to the silence and inner voice is what accelerated that knowing we all have. I would suggest using rough cut citrine or clear quartz.

Can I ask what if any experience you have with meditation or are you familiar with chakras, energy fields etc?

[Finding Me]

Hi Miss Linda. Thanks for answering. :)

I have very little experience with any of it. I watched the movie "The Secret" which led me on a search for the Law of Attraction. From that I discovered the Abraham-Hicks site and have read one book. "Ask and it is Given". One of the processes is Meditation. So, I have meditated a couple times, but am super new to the whole thing.

I've been searching on the internet on different subjects such as meditation, the law of attraction, and more. It seems like everything kind of intertwines with eachother. Searching on intuition led me to channeling and other psychic "stuff" (not good at technical terms) which seems to bring me back to Abraham-Hicks. :) It gets a little confusing and overwhelming.
I have heard of chackras, but am not very educated on that either. Energy fields... um? very very little. And the whole crystal thing you are talking about is new to me.

So, from you other conversations with others, I was curious where you think someone like me might find a "better" read on meditation and such. (for us starters and all) :)

My name "Finding Me" was actually created because I am in search of I guess what you call enlightenment?? and new things like this. I absolutely loved "What the Bleep"... and "The Secret". I've watched them both many times. (I even put love on all my water bottles ;) )

Hi there Findingme!

Here is a link that covers the basics of chakras. You dont' have to learn about chakras to develop your intuitio more but I have found that by getting your various levels of energies balanced, the "connection" enhances the ability to " know " and feel everything around you.

As far as books, there is one that I really adore that I will go back to the bookstore and write down the titles......actually there is 2 of them. Jon Kabat-Zinn is one of the Hallmark authors/teachers of mindfulness meditation. His book is called "Everywhere you go there you are" and my favorite "Coming to our senses"

The crystals I chose by reviewing the gemstone book at the crystal shop. There are so many different ones and I would encourage you to first look at the stones without a reference guide and observe how you feel when you see the stones.........it's like food. See if the color, feel and body response is positive.

How do you usually meditate?

;)

Finding Me --

I'm not Miss Linda, but, if I might jump in here ... I suggest finding someplace in Atlanta to learn to meditate. In real life. The experience of meditating with others is priceless. Or, if you absolutely must, try a DVD or video.

If you're interested in channeling, I strongly suggest checking out Lazaris. Alissa introduced me to him, and I think he's amazing. Here's a link:

But -- back to meditating, you're lucky to have a Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in Atlanta. There are several here in Southern California since Paramahansa Yogananda lived here for a while. They teach meditation there ... and they're always beautiful and peaceful to be in, and the people are lovely (and usually vegetarian!! Not raw, but still ... !). Here's a link to yours:

Have a delightful time on your search. And -- I think The Secret is fantastic. If you just use that, you will change your life.

I truly feel Raw foods has made me want to be closer to the universe and learn all that I can. Because of Raw foods, I feel a higher vibration and so uplifted!!

MissLinda,

Thanks for the Chakras website. I will definitely check it out. And I'll check out the books you suggested next time I make it to the bookstore. Thanks for the suggestion about the crystals. I think thats a great idea about finding one by how I feel towards it. I would have never thought of that. Thanks for all your input!! As far as my meditating (which again, I'll mention I've only tried a few times) I sit on the floor, legs crossed indian style, hands on knees. I breath deep breaths in through my nose, out (with some some sound) through my mouth. I try to release any thoughts, and mostly just concentrate on my breathing. I usually set a timer for 15 to 30 minutes depending on what I have going on that day. Thanks again for your help!! :)


RawTruth,

Oh Thank you so much for chiming in!! Any suggestions from those experienced is greatly appreciated by me and I'm sure many of the board members. For some of us "starters", this is very helpful for us to get these suggestions from you "experienced ones". ;) I'm sure many others will find this thread helpful, and I'm glad I have asked about all of this. Thank you for the channeling site! I will definitely check it out! And I'm so excited to hear about the Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in Atlanta. I would have never known to actually search for this. I'm used to reading about everything, so to actually go and participate would be excellent!! Thanks for the link!!

Added later: I just checked out the temple... and guess what... It's only 4 miles from my house! I had no idea! Thanks again Rawtruth!!! : :D :) :D
