I took a healing class in december. I had some experinences with energy, both while awake and dreaming, and I wanted to learn something more about the concept. In the class I learned to see auras, to feel and direct various aspects of the energy and to read the chakras.
Easy and lots of fun, highly recommended! :-)

One question that often arises when we are talking about tantric relationships and impersonal love goes something like "How do we ensure that sexual spark, when the choice of partner is not based on sexual attraction or falling in love?".
The answer: You do absolutely nothing.
Having sex is like having a conversation. When you start a conversations with a close friend, you don't decide where that talk will take you, or in what form. You simply talk, listen, talk, listen - and the conversation unfolds, sometimes funny, sometimes boring, sometimes enlightening.
When you have sex with you partner, you touch, feel, touch, feel. Same thing. You can decide that "tonight, we will be in the bed together,  nakedly and close". Starting there, you have do drop any expectations about what is to happen, how fast, how hot - if anything at all. But being in that moment, close to a naked person of the opposite sex, something will happen. Believe me.

The extra benefit is that sex can turn out better than any imagination produced by your mind . If you seek sexual pleasure based on your dreams and imagination, the experiences that you will achieve  will  never be better these dreams, because you will compare the reality to your projections. But being in the moment with no script or preoccupation, you might experience an intimacy, togetherness and excitement that you never had imagined possible.

In the part of my conscousness that recognizes that we are one. Or, to be more precise: In experiencing our common consciousness, which of course have known this since since beginning of time that we are one.

I welcome fear, like an old friend. My fears show up to tell me stories about myself, stories I haven't wanted to hear so far - but now I'm ready for most  them. Sometimes I give in, but still more often I just listen and learn.

Beauty is a label, constructed by the mind -  just as "ugly". I experience beauty when I manage to let let things be as they are, when the mind stops labeling my experiences with "beautiful", "good", "bad" etc.
The mind is busy running the labeling business, but when it pauses, I am able to feel the universal love. Thats beauty.

Sometimes I forget that the path is the goal - and in those moments I also forget that there are no place better to be than right here, right now.
When I think about where the path is taking me, instead of the view from here, I find difficulties.
