Develop your self

As a new year gift I decided to share a few techniques that worked for me.

I started doing ten days Vipassana meditation course / retreat near Hereford in April 2009.  It was not the kind of experience one particularly enjoys and some do not understand why they repeat it again and again.  The reason is simple, it works.  Observing the reality as it is, one can see truth without reflecting on it.  The Vipassana course is not for beginners.  My meditator friends in Exeter meditate on a daily bases and do long silent retreats regularly and have much more experience to share. 

I had my first metamorphic technique massage in Dartington around a year ago.  It is a gentle message of the feet along the the spine zone.  The goal is to amplify your own life force energy that transforms old, negative and unhelpful patterning.  You start doing what you meant to do in this life.  It has various names and sometimes specific sound or vision is used.  No matter how it's done, it works.  All you need is to book an appointment and enjoy the experience. 

The Art Of Living technique is an ancient breathing technique to eliminate stress, to balance mind and life.  I learnt it nine years ago in India and started daily practise in Hungary during the refresher course called "Waves of Happiness" in November 2012.  Yoga practitioners might know one element called Pranayama.  There are more elements including a short OM chanting.  It is an ideal 20-30 minutes 'start of the day' exercise.

Some people recognise 2007 as the year when a major shift of the human consciousness started gradually and expect further changes.  Ancient texts or spiritual teachers give little guidance.  If you nourish positive emotions and thoughts while remove negative ones (Sankara, karma, trauma, whatever you call it) you are on the right path. The best time to start is now and the above techniques will help your journey.

MT and AOL techniques are easy to understand, to learn and to practise.  Combined with Vipassana meditation, these helped me most.  I invite you to share your experiences, what worked and what can be recommended?
