The Time it Takes
As we learn and grow, we are changing. We are either changing and finding ways to further cement ourselves into a pattern of rigidity, which eventually becomes lifeless, or we are becoming fluid and adaptable and receptive to the flows of life that ripen our souls.
Inertia plays a big role in the experiences in our daily lives. What we are experiencing now is the result of our past and present mental and emotional states. Those experiences will continue, more or less the same, until our mental and emotional states shift. The shift can occur naturally and subconsciously or as a matter of concsious choice.
We can know when the shift occurs subconciously when interactions, people or situations of the past that were once enjoyable lose their luster. Something has changed. We can make a conscious choice to change our present experience by imagining what it is that we desire and then adopting the mental and emotional states that we would experience if our desire was already real.

A Letter to a Person Interested in Healing Techniques
I felt compelled to write a follow up to our last session. Since you are just getting involved in the “alternative” healing scene and also the “new age” crowd, I would like to share with you a few facts from my own experiences in this arena. My goal in this writing is not to dissuade you, but to save you time.
I’ve been professionally involved with this scene for the last 7 years. In that time I’ve met many people, healers, channels, herbalists, teachers, intuitives etc, etc. I’ve taught classes, taken classes, gotten sessions, given sessions, and observed many interactions, and also been told many experiences other people have, as well as had my own interesting perceptions. I’ve tried many products touted as amazing cures and remedies.
Of all the hundreds (maybe in the thousands) of people I’ve met in this field and worked with I can count 5 that I would actually fully trust their advice and knowledge, and would ask them to work with me.

Meditation Techniques for Self and God-Realization
The following techniques can be used to elicit physical, mental and emotional peace, enabling you to experience the stillness of superconscious meditation. Commit to practicing meditation once or twice a day at the same time for at least 20 minutes for best results. Longer meditation sessions can be scheduled once proficiency is attained. Proficiency is attained through practice.
Meditation Technique #1 Chanting Through the Chakras
1) Sit with your spine and neck erect in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for the duration of practice.
2) Take a moment to take 2-3 deeper than normal breaths and exhale with sigh after each breath, letting your body relax, while
maintaining a straight, up-right position.
3) Bring your attention to the base of your spine, down to the center of the area on which you are sitting. Focus your attention here.
Imagine a ball of life force in the area. Imagine what it would feel like to be aware of your life force in this way. Mentally hear the word OM resounding in that ball of life force at your first chakra. Repeat the chanting of OM 10-12 times. There is no need to count the repetitions. Estimate the number and move on when you are ready.
4) Bring your attention to area of your sacrum to slightly above the pubic bone. Focus your attention here. Imagine a ball of life force
in the area. Imagine what it would feel like to be aware of your life force in this way. Mentally hear the word OM resounding in that ball of life force at your second chakra. Repeat the chanting of OM 10-12 times.
5) Bring your attention to area opposite your navel, around the small of your back. Focus your attention here. Imagine a ball of life force in the area. Imagine what it would feel like to be aware of your life force in this way. Mentally hear the word OM resounding in that ball of life force at your third chakra. Repeat the chanting of OM 10-12 times.
6) Continue in this way at the fourth chakra, the area between your heart and your shoulder blades; the fifth chakra, the area between
your head and torso in the center of your throat; the sixth chakra, the space between your eyebrows; and the seventh chakra, the crown of
your head.
7) Then descend back down through the chakras chanting OM in the same manner.
8) Finally, chant OM back up through the seven chakras, finishing at the crown of the head.
9) Once you have chanted the last OM at the seventh chakra, keep your awareness in the crown of your head and sit in the silence generated from the practice of this technique. Feel your awareness expanding without boundary in the wholeness of God until your schedule time to conclude is reached.
