Hi, I've been trying to post on here and have tried to do this 3 times with no success. Ok let's try it again. This forum seems attractive, if i can get it to work. Seems like people have a variety of spiritual practice back grounds and experiences. I've been meditating since 1971 doing yoga and mindfulness and chi Kung practices since 1980. I use meditation practices in my counseling practice, as well as other approaches. I teach meditation and spiritual practices on and off. I've written more before but too frustrated with this to add anymore now. Let's see if this works!
