Breatheasy Posted September 30, 2015 Hello everybody my name is Richard and I've been meditating for many years. The last 10 years has been quite committed with daily practice and 3 silent retreats a year. I've been a surbanite most of my life with a large mortgage and family but I've slowly been simplifying life and would say I'm a yogi in transition. I have two kiddies at university and at the beginning of the year passed my house onto my wife. Alas she did not share or understand the path/journey so we separated. It's sad but I was never very good at convincing her that going off on a retreat benefitted all of us... In fact if the truth be known it's so tricky to be with a spouse who doesn't have a spiritual practice and I didn't handle it very well. They do become your greatest teacher! A friend of mine pointed me to the dao bums forum and I thought I'd check it out to see how everybody is getting on. I hope you're all finding your way and peace and love to you all. x 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
