Thanks for sharing your experience. I am so glad you took initiative at your young age to help your body heal itself, which is what the body always wants to do if it has the proper conditions and nutrients. It is wonderful that you are offering encouragement to others.

It might not be as far off as you think.

This is a fine beginners practice. No need to be in a hurry. Stay here as long as you feel you need to.

Thanks, this is useful information. I am going to look into it further.

You do not have to sit in half lotus. You can do easy pose or if that bothers you sit in a chair, at least for most of the techniques. Sometimes agitation and boredom can be a sort of ego backlash. Agitation can also occur as energetic blockages are opened. Tell yourself that you are going to commit to x minutes a day whether you want to or not. If you can not make yourself do the kriya, sit there for the allotted amount of time. This is helping you to learn self discipline. There will be times in any discipline when you don't want to do it. The ego can make up a myriad of excuses that seem legitimate. Just do it anyway. Try not to evaluate the outcome of the session. Just keep doing it on a regular basis and you will be able to see results.

Thanks for a most interesting post. Could you expound on the technique of doing KP while doing Om Japa? Thanks ahead of time.

@MM1988 Yes, it generates a lot of body heat for me. I wouldn't worry about not feeling it sometimes..just go with the flow.

I just love this post!!!

@Freakrik Maintain your fantasies about the future, if you like. Do what you can to make them happen and let go of trying to force a specific outcome. The experience of this life will go by much quicker than you can ever imagine.

@yangmilun Thanks for this beautiful phrase " empathy replaces resistance". I am going to put those words on a sticky note and place it on my mirror.

@Leo Gura Isn't God's will actually fragmented into infinite perspectives of each aspect of god,each creature that manifests consciousness? Doesn't that indicate that there really is no unified or static will of God, at least in the dimension we are experiencing? The will of god might be in the manifestation of cause and effect, nothing more. Just thinking out loud here.

The ego is desperate and it can be very, very convincing. When experiencing higher frequency consciousness it doesn't seem possible to go back to believing what the unbalanced ego has to offer, but it does happen. I guess that is just part of the process of awakening. As mandyjw suggested, Eckhart Tolle could be of great benefit for you. He can help you see the mechanisms of the egoic self as well as finding space.

Persistence pays off!!!! That's great.
