i think some posts got lost in the outage.


i had replied to this that i have read some of Thich Nhat Hahn's work. Very powerful stuff, and i wish i had some of the books now to finish them, but i don't so i will go by memory here, but i really loved the simple way he explained things. Like grounding with the Earth.

Go out, touch the Earth. Just lay your palm on the ground. It's amazing what you can feel by just doing that simple thing. i feel energy comes from the Earth so when we touch it, we receive it.

i've been suddenly drawn to going deeper for enlightenment. i've been using guided meditations to go to sleep with and i feel many dreams are coming to me, which is complete contrast to the nightmares which have plagued me for years. (like about 40 years now). i am looking into trying to learn what the messages are, and how they apply to my life right now.

It's a welcome change!
