Humidity, Just Gets Me!

The smell of fresh rain is a trigger of powerful memories. The smell of Mother Earth is a propeller into heaven. The smell of rain is a carrier of peace.

It's the first spring-time rain in Ann Arbor today.

Meditation Evaluation Questions

Getting and sustaining realization are somehow appearing to be not the same thing. Anyone can get realization. Its an instantaneous thing. But sustainance is a whole different ballgame sometimes.

How was the week with respect to feeling cool vibrations on both hands?

Are there chronic issues you hope to resolve with the help of your Kundalini Awakening? How is the progress on that?

What are the top things that make you lose your balance in general?
Rate the following:
Kam = Unfulfilled Desires
Krodh = Anger
Lobh = Selfishness
Mad = Overestimating Self Capacity
Moh = Attachment
Maya = Illusions & Misconceptions

Have you pushed the envelope in knowing yourself? If yes, whats new?

Were there any moments outside of meditation, when you suddenly felt cool vibrations?
e.g. At Work, or listening to some music, or some artwork, or some person?

Easy Questions, Hard Answers

A questionnaire for established yogis to promote introspection:

1. How often do you feel totally cool vibrations on the hands?

2. Which types of collective activities have you attended:
- Weekly meetings
- Michigan Seminars & Workshops
- Mid-west or Regional Seminars
- National Seminars

3. When was the last time you played a part in a person getting Kundalini awakening?

4. What are the top things that make you off balance (non-collective, skipping meditation, succumbing to the 6*)?

* 6 = Kam Krodh Mad Lobh Moh Maya (Desires, Anger, Pride, Greed, Attachment, Illusion)
