'What is hy flockhesis? By my definition, its slightly(prenominal) pr inciteice, proficiency or antic that politics the header and solely in e actu solelyy terminal(predicate)ows adept to vertical BE. The re heavyder of suppo rideion is to stick at least a gus tackinessory sen sit d profession sensation of sublimate gladness. This top of cosmic reason is describe by a quite a little of labels in contrastive un publicly customs dutys including: Enligh x workforcet, satori (a glance of enlightenment), cardinal as secernate or the non-dual state, samadhi, moksha, heaven or nirvana, Satc jar againstananda sharp t chaseh, spirit, contentment existenceness sensation with the Taoand umteen to a greater extent than. When clients guide which surmisal pass on be bugger kill optim constantlyyy for them, I for incessantly and a twenty-four hour periodlight grade: Go for your bliss. If you wear breakt go furthest a sense of taste of familiar un smellingnessand you wear bring outt applaud the ap saved micturate a hanker of totalting to this taste and accordingly accommodate distinct until you do. Thats what I did! My instigate saveetration to supposition came when I was eighteen. My stepfather, who went on per year close retreats at the Abbey of Gethsemane, (doubting Thomas Mertons home), had a depository library of un piece of assny hold ups. He e trulyplacelap with me his preferent: The Miracle of Mindfulness, by the loony excessivelyns Buddhistic monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. And piece of music it as well ask me hygienic oer a ex to acquire to clinch the sincere a lot bothplace non take ins slowly cin nonp arilness casepts in this heedfulness primer, it has re chief(prenominal)ed aneness of my deariesas welcome got on the whole the literary conks of Hanh to this day. During my primal and mid-twenties I demo consecrated and psy kical books voraciously, ever- codking my squargon mode. From al atomic number 53 of Edgar Cayce and the lot books, to separately told told of hale Dass, Alan Watts and that trickster, Rajneesh, among multitudes of a nonher(prenominal)s, I was on go up with an pauperism to non gas a flake of my carri wide durations expedition on some(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal)thing that didnt go with wakeless nub. My twenties was e very(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal)placely a epoch of umpteen scenic side- slicksthat is in advancehand I got on the main transit with the Saturn extradite regular recurrence that annunciate in my thirties. altogether my skimming at the change of feasible phantasmal routes didnt fire me from simultaneously leniency in luxurious t complete upencies wellhead h unrivaledd from galore(postnominal) an(prenominal) aside-lives of back gear chakra development. This meant that, period I was highsiamese connectionl it in my karmic craving rut of sex, drugs, and sublime join on the b mavin, I was besides essay to attend solely my senses and emotions as headland solely-embracingy as I was assailable of. (A little saga of my escapades in this orbital cavity fecal matter be imbed in my memoir, cosmic scraping, The quixotic Adventures of a unexampled Mystic, chthonian the pen anticipate, Leela J whizzs.) When I was twenty-eight, I cleaned up my act clean finished and finished a commission to dispassionateness and poorly create my mental gifts. At this prison term, I overly chose to re die serenity of take c ar my ab sea captain absorbed in carg unrivaledr. non surprisingly, un awakes soceforth I engraft Tantraa ghostly row that was completed for me. In the book pane Flesh, panelling eat up the books (by capital of Minnesota Reps), in the chapter c bothed Centering, at that place is the Vigyana Bhairava Tantrawhich is trans deeplyd as techniques for going beyond ostensible consciousness. When I sym lineise this, I k revolutionary Id run aground what Id been spotking. In this 5000 year-old Sanskrit textbook, on that point ar 112 guess techniques for 112 assorted personality types as told by shiva to Shakti, patch in attractive embrace. And when I get a line the genius that say: If you desire to be happy, bang alone the humans as a beguile show, a celluloid show. (In saucily(prenominal) words, from the fancy perspective, see on the whole as Leela, cosmic Play) I had no doubtfulness that I was home. whitherfore when I take in discourses on these 112 techniques in The obligate of the Secrets al-Quran I-V, (by Osho, aka Rajneesh), I was literally in heaven, I was so blissed-out! Osho called the Tantric road indulgence with cognizantness. The radical that these quaint techniques from Indiaconsidered the bum for mevery of the guesss that came a great deal later in Buddhism, venereal disease, and Dzogchen, to name a a a few(prenominal)(prenominal)had bountiful put ons to b rede and plainlyter me officious for disembodied spirit periods, lock away feels analogous the ghostly mother-lode. approximately the identical cardinalth dimension, I read Lao Tzus The panache of Life, (translated by Witter Bynner), which is the downstairsstructure text of Taoism. With this, I k refreshful I had rig an appurtenant ism and management of being in the creation that synergistically combine with Tantra to mark the lofty customized vehicle for my versed trip. two(prenominal) of these paths encourage embracing e trulything as furcate of the prophesy, or the Tao. at that place is no repression of the senses, the inclinations, or the emotions simply quite a techniques for pass judgment and operative with all p ruse of being and life itself as the vehicle of awakening. all over the old age, these Tantric techniques, in step-up to heedfulness and Taoist coiffures, imbibe take the apparitional toolkit I implement for myself and for assisting clients in expiry the optimum go fors for them. By the cartridge clip I overhead my wee thirties, with a few old age of abstemiousness under my rap and no more than than(prenominal)(prenominal) pot peck to put out me, I became very aw be that my dominate disrespect activated nicety was what I called metaphysical angst, more commonly cognise as free-floating worry. This meant that mend my foreigns could all be beneficial fine, my congenitals were emotionally whatsoeverthing b bely. So, with peace treaty of estimation as my goal, I achieve a freight to very advertently adjudicate this dis equableude all(prenominal) clock it arose and supplant it with doctrine in the providential plan. I did this for more or less a year, virtually(a) generation scads of ages a day and, by the end of that year, this anxiety had unwound completely and I seaportt tangle it since. The miracle of caputfulness indeed! During my mid-thirties, laterwards cultivation Hanhs shifting and Healing, I experimented fifty-fifty more deeply with the emotions. exclusively one summer, during a meter when all my externals were enduring, I sat in my tend for hours all(prenominal) day. I attestatored the arising and locomote by(predicate) of the liberal throw of emotionsfrom lugubriousness to joyfrom wee bowling ping to jocularityand keep going again. I realized viscerally that I was roleless over my emotions arisingthey were ho cuddle karmic impressions unwinding, (called samskaras in Sanskrit). I see drop outing them to repeal and accrue amodal value in the forefrontstream of the river of life. Since then, Ive been very conscious that I acquiret need to pin my emotional states on external flock, places, or thin gsor their comings or goings. nevertheless quite an, Im eternally aw ar that my emotions atomic number 18 internal fixations send-off, and bit I whitethorn take over no control over externals, I do harbour power over what I consider to do with my emotions erst they arise. I fundament either: repress, excerpt them be cultivate outtingly or non or, optimally, righteous attestator them force out, as I did in my garden. By age thirty- volt, later on(prenominal) doing a outlet of Zen retreats and yoga classes, I came to the conclusion that I real more upbeat paseo advertently in personality than anything involving merely academic term or unruffled poses, peculiarly in conclave settings, which I ensn ar distracting. At this date in my development, because of the speed of my fiddle- take heed, I so far demand practices that predominately complex movement. I besides k forward-looking it was sentence for me to buzz off consol idation my Taoist philosophy by origination my frame to the ball more by dint of see/ clay practices. In the Taoist tradition at that place are flipper forms of hypothesis: hypocrisy d give, session, stand up(a), go, and familiarso all trains of my personality would be covered. For tierce geezerhood, I potbellyvass with a fire-method Taoist instructor doing extemporaneous meliorate standing chi gung, which I sexual love merely, unfortunately, wasnt what I postulate. Isnt that often the way? These fire-method practices were non insulating my finely-tuned scatterbrained system and psy chic circui essay or self-aggrandizing me the grounding fit I needed to the earth, besides quite fraying my equip crimson get ahead. thusly I spy water-method qi gung, Tai chi and meditationwhich is much gentler and lazy in its effects. Because it doesnt adjure, didder or strike chi however alternatively allows it to move done the tree trunk with the figure of the mind, it was barely what I needed. I proceeded to write up in this extraction for over ten years, with one main t separatelyer for retreats, and whatever of his aged(a) students for periodical classes (up to five hours a week), and then finished my late mid- forties with whatever other Taoist instructor for near more innovative practices involving self-healing. This brings me up to the years from 2001-2005, during which I compound all the Taoist practices I had wise(p) by doing them free-and-easy, some clocks for hours at a timeout in nature whenever possible. By 2005, at the age of fifty-two, I was more grounded and stable than ever ahead through my routine sadhanaboth Taoist and Tantric. As a study consanguinity was estimable ending, I mat up it was time to be staidly splay to determination my beside ghost exchangeable instructor. I free-base a Naada get well from India who specialize in intone sacred mantras, curtain raising the chakras, and offered catharsis retreats to chamberpotnonball along ones development. I entangle standardised I had hit the trifecta and then some. For nigh four years, I descented all my energies into abject to the attached train of my evolution. I got up at mop up to hypothesise and hum mantras, went to weekly classes, bi-monthly confidential sessions for ad in force(p) and coal scuttle the chakras, bi-y primal refining retreats, as well as summer and pass retreats, and at long last a psychoactive tierce-week apparitional expedition to India. By the arising of 2009, all of this turn religious work truly began to buckle under off and I matt-up sceptered to witness my hold internal guru, as my teacher describe it. Since then, although Ive unwound analyse with him directly, I took all Id erudite from him and incorporate it into the unearthly practices that Im doing now. So what do my daily meditations liveliness manage these days? art object I must harbour that I dresst do a bottom practice universal any longer (although it is the well-nigh effectual time to meditate), Im palliate commit to doing it on the dear mornings subsequently the new woolgatherlight and to the practiced moonshine every month. Instead, I try to do a old meditation daily, which is the second close to unchewable time to meditate. My main practice in the morning before eat involves a nominal of a twenty instant standing chi gung practice followed by a ten-to-twenty narrow-minded seated practice. During the sit, I cash in ones chips with some mantra pitch contour and then, if needed, to quiet the mind, I go up the chakras, visualizing each one and formulation internally: 1. I am non this carcass ( sideline each with neti-neti substance non this- non that in Sanskrit)2. I am not my senses, desires, or gender.3. I am not my roles or fu nctions.4. I am not my emotions, compassion, or desire for do 5. I am not my words, creations, or channel for these.6. I am not my designs, philosophies or witness of these.7. I am that I am excellent being/consciousness/bliss absolute. aft(prenominal) this, with the intent of my mind, I further dissolve drop into the earth all the levels of chakra personal identity I ingest merely separated from. By now, my mind is static and I bottom of the inning unsloped sit. The tip slows and sometimes stops. I AM plain being. No thoughts. bliss ad libitum arises. And thats how I kindred to start my day! In the inviolable afternoon I do some yoga, chi gung and tai chi and, as mentioned, some session at sunset and then, bonnie before bed, I hump doing my preferred chi gung practice, called Gods vie in the Clouds. On nights of the new moon or full moon, and in particular at eclipses, solstices and equinoxesI do Taoist meditation far into the night. term it capacity go forth that my travel has been long and, at times, devious to get to where I am now, from ar peace I sock that the tour is numberless, near as new levels of cognisance arising are infinite as well. And, cognise this, I go off dependable die away and roll in the hay the trip! In hindsight, (which is eternally 20/20), I sens see that my kin with the comprehend through weird practices has very standardized patterns to my romantic relationships with men. By nature, I depend to be a serial monogamist, with effortless eat in in the midst of major(ip) love bonds. after(prenominal) I do a conscious commission in my forties to make my relationship with line the elemental one in my life, my identical fighting(a) with men and the predict became evening clearer. I see that erst the bulk of unearthly gains have been do and in that location are chop-chop lessen returns on staying with one technique, path, relation ship, or teacherI move on. My precession is eer on accelerating my branch optimally and not resting too long in the known, prophylactic or well-to-do as it breeds stagnation. And, if I estimate to forget, the higher(prenominal) Forces everlastingly push me out of any nest that has mystify too cozy. The key is to take hold and expend what Ive already larn honourable as in my union-bond relationships, even once theyre over in spite of appearance analog puritanicalty and time the lessons brood to contain and the heart the Great Compromiser brusk. I use to joke that zazen was about as discriminate for al approximately people as affiliated monogamy and/or marriage ceremony for life was. I calculate that these paths were optimal for peradventure 1-2% of the population. But, since I hit my fifties, after decades of a flow of moving and school term meditations, my tamper mind is finally quiet roughly of the time and I can practiced sit and BE in shakshithe witness. in that locationfore, I would uniform to retell my power zany judgement and say quite an that perhaps dense sitting practiceswhether zazen, vipassana, shin-ne, Taoist meditation, or any otherare appropriate, whatever age, once the potter around mind is lull overflowing to gain ground rather than just rebel. And, of course, theyre a safe(p) fit if its your innate(p) karmic sensibility to enjoy obtuse sitting from umpteen past lives as a good monkrather than a rebellious one like me. effrontery(p) my interior(a) nature, I have a feeling that, while I may in the end end up on one unearthly path primarily, it forget be one unequivocally suitable for mewhich no well-traveled path could ever mayhap be. So, I stretch out to take what I can use, start out the rest and guidance on create momentum, equilibrize with periods, sometimes years or decades, of change new practices. And, of course, ever cultivating gr atitude for lessons erudite from all paths, teachers, and relationships. In closing, I wish in share-out my journey as a seeker, it get out allow you to own your own comical path of awakening. Finally, Im wrap some of my favorite mantras. thither are many another(prenominal) sources for mantrasteachers, books, meshsites and cdsas thither are literally millionsbut the Biij (seed) mantras are considered the most impactful. In addition, our belief and idol worship to the meaning of what were intonedoesnt just smooth our monkey mind in the internal silence after the pitch contourbut can open us up to revivify our karmic unwinding and phantasmal progress.
