I believe that everyone has a breaking point; a point in which they examine the circumstances in their lives and try to change the trajectory of that path. It’s hard enough to admit that there is a problem; it’s even harder to discover its source and bring it to the surface. I have often read [...]
Sitting Sat. Not much to report. Good flow – some sore spots, but overall good flow and steady awareness. I really wonder if there is anyone else out there who feels their body temperature rise while meditating – particularly in the extremities (hands, feet).
Sitting Sat. I confess that I was too tired to sit last night so I just went to bed. The sitting today was remarkably smooth, flowing, little hooking onto and falling into thought – all the same. No success, no failure. Just is.
Today’s sitting was pretty comfortable and stable. Not too many objects. There was a non-dual yoga instructor on YouTube talking about the energetic body. A lot of what he said was about releasing constriction and listening to body tension. Tried to use that approach to running energy and found it helpful. Giving attention to the [...]
A much smoother sitting today. Perhaps because of the nap I had in the afternoon. ^&^ Still some anger-ish emotion coming up but not in one huge bubble like last night. Time for bed.
Funny (funny – strange, not ha-ha….well….maybe just a little ha-ha). A big swell of anger arose, and then, I lost consciousness several times. A cry for sleep? Perhaps. Good-night. ^&^
Sitting sat. Very tired both physically and mentally so very little focus. Now Bed. Good Night
Sitting sat, but I will confess the dogs’ restlessness was allowed to distract. One of the boys was very fidgety - I’m guessing it was a law of attraction thing. ^&^
Sitting Sat. Pretty quiet – in a good way. Some flow felt. A good vibrations kind of sitting. Sleep Well All in Great Love
The sitting today had a little more ease than the last few days. There were still thought objects and a little vision flash of some kind, but generally much more ease. Am curious about what that image that flashed so quickly, but just as an amusement.
Body was weary tonight so the nerves were a little dull, I guess. Not much feeling of running tonight – more like trickling energy. Still, stretching after the sitting felt pretty good. Fell into wells of thought a couple of times but got back out again.
Wow. Lot’s of thought this sitting. Lots and lots. So much so that there was more observation of thought than running of energy. Must have been necessary. ^&^
I was pretty sleepy before sitting today because of the extra long bike ride I took this afternoon but it ended up being a very good sitting (with a little nodding – but not much. ^&^
Sitting sat. Felt pretty good in the body today. Lot’s of presence. Time for bed.
O.K. A couple of things that I still find very odd about mind. 1) It seems to be most active (out of control [thought control is not the goal]) when my body is tired or I’m feeling ill. One would think it would get tired out too. ^&^ 2) I don’t know if anyone else [...]
Well, today’s sitting was interesting. There wasn’t much feeling of energy moving but there wasn’t much blockage either. Thought came and went in awareness (lots of thoughts about the magazine) but not much attachment to them. Breathing was also natural – easy.
Today, I am writing before I sit. I will have to go to bed very soon after my sitting, so I’m doing my journal entries first. Today was a good day; let’s see how quiet mind is. ^&^
Wow, a really noisy sitting tonight. ^&^ Both externally and internally. Banging noises from downstairs and banging noises (lots of thought objects banging around) from the inner chambers. No sweat, but goodness……
Sorry, folks. I haven’t been able to get to the site for a while. There seems to have been a connection problem from Korea. I couldn’t even get to the site, let alone log on, so I couldn’t figure out who to contact or how to do so. I spent a few days just waiting [...]

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a difficult sitting. Bodily condition – sleepy, poorish digestion. Mind – very antsy, I mean extraordinarily so. Could barely keep my self seated. Well, that’s not exactly the best description of the sensation, but close enough.
Sitting sat. Ego was not behaving himself very well today, so it took a lot of acceptance to allow quietness. You know what I mean? Off to bed. To be.
It’s a little late. Got caught up in rewriting a chapter and was loathe to stop. Did stop though and did a down and dirty sitting. Cut out the bells and whistles. Just did it. Went well, thank you very much. ^&^ I think the writing got me pretty well prepared for the sitting. Peace
Well, I confess. I didn’t sit on Saturday or Sunday. I ended up cooking until about one in the morning for a birthday brunch on Saturday night. On Sunday I had a headache that grew and grew. I medicated but just didn’t feel physically up to sitting even for a little while. Such is life. [...]
A good sitting today. Flow was good. Got all of the “lights lit” quite quickly and was able to sit there trying to hold the whole package in awareness. Wow, it’s a big package. ^&^
Tired. Going to bed very soon. Let’s just say the sitting was sat.
An interesting sitting. Energy was not flowing very strongly. It eventually made a complete circuit, but it didn’t feel like it was moving very well. When I did some stretching afterwards, I was not surprised to find that muscles here and there were wanting to cramp up a little. My first week back on my bicycle [...]
I feel Great when I meditate so I am not sure why it is difficult for me to take the time everyday to meditate – when I do I feel awesome like today. I say that I like to meditate but I don’t have a meditation practice – I will work on having a meditation [...]
Smooth sitting today. Body was a little tired, so I thought I might encounter more contraction or hazy attention, but not so.
in early December I went back to morning meditation as part of sending the Oneness Blessing/Deeksha as an Awakened Blessing Giver. its now March and the the time spent every morning with my Divine gets sweeter and sweeter. so much love and joy are coming to me now! connecting to the Divine is getting so much easier [...]
I have continued with sitting, really, really, really. I have been low energy, though, and just didn’t want to turn on the computer. I had the opportunity to allow a lot of resistance to starting the new school year flow through me. I was pretty busy with that, I guess. ^&^ I’ve decided to go [...]
A good sitting. Lots of fun stuff to watch. Lots of smiles.

We were all a little distracted during the sitting today – me, myself, and I. ^&^ It was good, though. Noticing the distraction is part of the process. (processless process).
O.K., O.K. I admit it. I didn’t sit yesterday. I got home very late from a meeting and thought I could try to force my way through my fatigue or just spend a few minutes taking care of my hunger pangs and veging out before going to bed. I chose to have a snack and [...]
I am clearly dealing with some anxiety today. Perhaps the full moon? Perhaps. Spiders and Synchronicity. I had a big, ugly, aggressive spider show up in a dream last night; I actually like spiders, but this one was almost creature feature huge and nothing I’ve ever seen in life or in books. Then, I was [...]
Two days in one. ^&^ Yesterday’s sitting was a little too late to allow me to get on the computer afterward and enter a log. I really felt the need to get right to bed. Yesterday’s and today’s sittings went well. I took in a lot of information today and enjoyed watching my mind process [...]
Lots of residue from the day to sit with, but good. Feeling much better. Always good to just stop for a while, isn’t it? I’m noticing that even a small ego flare up is much more noticeable these days, I may even say painful, especially if I get a little confused by something. ^&^
Good sitting. Mind was pretty quiet. Thank you mind. ^&^ Decided to add “What is this?” to the sitting. Let’s go this way for a while.
First day back to sitting with breath. It was a little rough and I keep having to let go of expectations that it will settle back into place. ^&^ Can you say, judgement? (kkkkk)
Very smooth this evening. Even the chakrahs seemed to light up and recharge with ease. A very silky smooth sitting.
I had a lot of tension or contractedness that I took some extra time to work on tonight. I’m not sure where it came from. It was on my right side perhaps I was using right brain a little more than usual and that was the cause. Restriction? Very curious.
I decided to take a shift of attitude toward running energy today. I’m not sure why I have not thought of it till now, but I decided to welcome the energy to flow through my channels rather than opening them or clearing; I thought of the energy as a welcome visitor and thanked it for [...]

A very smooth, soft and yet very vibrational sitting this time. Feeling the Flow. ^&^
Well, I started to do my running energy practice this evening but realized it wasn’t what was called for today. I really needed to sit with the wounded me this time, nothing else was going to work in any kind of Grace-filled space; I would have just been forcing focus which is not the way [...]

A good sitting. It felt very smooth, lots of ease. I lost some attention towards the end, but that’s the way it goes. ^&^
It was a rough start today. ^&^ Lots of thoughts about tomorrow’s meetings arising, but got settled and had some good flow. I’m thinking to continue this practice for a total of thirty days and then return to breath meditation. Good plan? ^&^
I spent most of the day feeling pretty chilly, so I decided to meditate a little earlier just to be able to warm up a little. It’s an odd reason to meditate, I know, but voila. My hands and feet are warm again. ^&^
