At first, I watched Eckhart Tolle videos. They confused me, but only because I didn't understand them, but somehow I just knew they spoke truth. It was during this video:

YouTube - The Deepest Truth of Human Existence - www.eckharttolle.com

...that I finally had a glimpse into what he was talking about. The simplicity of now.

At that moment I thought I had it. Finally, the end to my suffering. But still, paranoia got the better of me and I went on living the same way I had been all along. I didn't realize that the reasons I couldn't stay in the now was because I had some sort of internal resistance to the now, to the truth of myself. Something in my head didn't want me to step through the mirror and embrace myself for all that I am. I didn't realize this was the problem for a long time, but since figuring it out, it has been a long and scary journey, I'm probably not the only one to say this. And it's not over yet:O.

There is nothing more important that finding all those layers of yourself and peeling them away until all that is left is you. I recommend the Sedona Method for that (I started it, and have yet to complete it, but I have shed many layers of myself in the short amount of time I have spent listening to the Sedona tapes).

Lately I'm trying to be a more truthful person. Truthful with myself, truthful with others, and not just the truth society creates based on what is right and wrong, but the real truth, what my actual feelings are. I just began trying to do this, but so far it has been rewarding.

All you can do right now is take this journey. If you don't take it now you will at some other point in your life and it will be much much harder then. As much as meditation scared me, I'm glad I started because the benefits have been endless. It opened up a world of ideas that I never thought of before, and a community that has been helpful every step of the way.

Hope this helps.

Mitch

Hi when i first started with the lifeflow programme I was a complete mess and afraid of my own shadow. Fear completely ruled my life. Now life is an adventure and I trust and have faith now and I am only on lifeflow 8. All I can say is keep going you may not feel that things are happening but they will be its very powerful stuff. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. the choice is totally yours. Anything worth doing takes time and practise. I wish you all the best.

love and light

It was great reading this thread started by Kelouba. I hope Kelouba is enjoying a better life every day with a lot of support from members of this thread. I specially liked the "Coherent Breathing " Technique described with such empathy and focussed address to the original requester. We can see here a typical example of how love builds between two souls.

I am further impressed by the following words from Mitch:

Lately I'm trying to be a more truthful person. Truthful with myself, truthful with others, and not just the truth society creates based on what is right and wrong, but the real truth, what my actual feelings are. I just began trying to do this, but so far it has been rewarding.

Mitch you are so right and you described how you have emigrated to a new world of your own reality with a valid passport. The key is to be truthful and honest to one's own self. I think this is the hardest part. Once you cross this barrier, being honest and truthful to the rest of the world becomes second nature. Life becomes much more easy with the adoption of the good old saying: Honesty is the best policy. The effort one would exert in keeping secret accounts now goes in shared progress of one's development effort.

LF meditation makes it easy to take us to the doorstep of that emigration counter beyond which lies the world of self discovery.

Thank you every one. Thank you Mitch. Thank you Ta-tsu-wa and most important, thank you Kelouba. Finally, thank you Pollyana.

This is such a wonderful thread - it really is the epitome of what the Project-Meditation community forum stands for.

Of course, I'm ecstatic about the amazing changes in my own life, however there is nothing like hearing how the lives of others are improving and witnessing the tremendous help that is so kindly offered from you wonderful people.

I mentioned a local friend of mine in recent posts who has been housebound for many years due to anxiety issues. I am excited to let you know that he has progressed to LF7 and accompanied us to the 14th July Bastille celebrations in the local village.

It was truly wonderful to experience this with him and that's not all... this morning we went to the local butchers

It's so worth it to make that little time for yourself each day, speaking of which - Gotta go and flow I wish you much peace and joy

I really like this thread. Thanks. The breathing techniques are already helping me and I haven't even downloaded the sample yet. I think it's about time I did though.
