A great book by Les Fehmi with an amazing meditation CD.
I have been listening to the CD two or three times a day for a few days now.
Today I crawled out of everything and into infinity.
I became enormous and filled up all the space in the universe.
I felt all things, those that are living and those that are inanimate, at once.
I can do anything.

You have to listen to it. It moves you from looking at the tiny details of things (as we bipolars tend to do) to seeing the big picture. I find it makes me feel absolutely wonderful for a few hours. Each time it seems to last longer.

Nirvana, enlightenment, etc...that is so cool...enjoy it while it lasts!
I went bonkers once from several days of enlightenment. It got to be too much to handle...ever tiny thing meant something important and I just couldn't keep up.
Guess that's why they advise against trying to raise the Kundalini without proper preparation. In fact, in the mythology of it, it CAN make you crazy!

My biggest problem seems to be over anylizing everything, crawling inside each event and taking it apart. The idea behind this is to remain aware of everything else, how you are ocnnected to the universe, all the time before and still to come... and not get lost in one event.

Shen, that was exactly my prob...every single thing was of utmost importance and I had to process the most minute details. Got to be too much for my brain to handle.
Where in NJ? Still fascinates me...next time I will handle it better, hopefully.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
