(I snooped around on the web to learn of your efforts. LOL) If you have any specific "questions or comments" on your practice, feel free to pass them along if you'd like. I can put in my two cents worth -- for free.

We are unable to see until we are aware of what we are seeing/observing, in fact, what we observe is ourselves in everything around us. This can be awfully hard for our egos to comprehend and quite understandably so.

Sometimes (frequently) I worry this is a "wrong" practice and that I should be seeking a teacher and attending lengthy retreats. But I have a full-time job, I write books, I have a husband...and it's a good life. It has been transformed by my discovery and practice of Buddhism (secular, pretty much). So for now I'll continue this way and look to generous folks like you to ease and challenge me along the path.Lori Knutsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15066739376247766109noreply@blogger.com
