I’m making this short, because I thought I’d take the chance and just type directly into the response space and not type it in a doc first. Of course, I ended up losing what I had written, so I don’t feel like rewriting it all.
I’ve really enjoyed the 7 steps. I’ve done similar journeying before both as a shamanic journey and a spiritual journey. In Judaism, we do such a journey to meet the “ancient of days.” While these other techniques seem to be encountering external source of wisdom or knowing, I like the 7 steps that is very deliberate about encountering an internal source of knowing or the soul. In actuality, in a mystical sense (and my own belief), the line between external and internal is actually not that distinct.
As I mentioned in class, when I did the 7 steps, I met a presence at the platform that, although he didn’t resemble me physically, I knew was me. There was something very comfortable about that presence. In addition, the light on the other side of the arch also felt comforting and, in a sense, healing. This is important for me to recognize in my life, the inherent goodness of my soul and essence.

I like the idea of the 7=steps but am still finding it hard to really put myself in the moment with the meditation. Meditation, in general, is new to me and something I am still working on. Even with the 7 breaths I am still struggling with focusing on what I feel and not how I feel.
You had mentioned creating a link that just has the 7 step meditation, has this been posted yet.
Trying to not rush through the modules, but also catch up. 🙂
