AnonymousGuestTed, I can’t say that I’ve specifically experienced this, as far as being more startled by noises. But I think we have so much back ground noise and chatter going on all the time that we don’t even notice. I do find that when your mind quiets down, the senses seem to become a little sharper and clearer. Like if the TV is on all the time, something falling in the kitchen will not be as noticable as it would be when it’s quiet.

AnonymousGuestI just got off the phone with Energy Arts. There are Months 15 and 16 coming yet which they say will be truly incredible. I asked about the monthly $8 fee after that. They said they are still making a decision about whether to continue with this same format. If they do decide on continuing there will most likely be another package offer similar to the $87 package of 16 months like we have enjoyed.

AnonymousGuestThis is great news, Catherine. Thanks for asking. I think whatever comes will be worth it. I can see lessons in dissolving as being very cool. I feel ready to restart that after spending all these months on these fundamentals.

AnonymousGuestWhen they said “continue”, did they mean to continue allowing access to these 16 months, or did they mean recording a whole new set of lessons? Either way, can’t wait for month 15 and 16! Thanks for contacting EA, Joan!

AnonymousGuestCatherine, When I used the word “continue” I meant more recordings of new information. I also looked and they still have the same 87 dollar offering for the 16 month current program as I’m assuming people are still starting the program.
It has been so wonderful for me and I have kept going with it and now it’s a habit for my daily life. I don’t think I am anywhere near the rest of you in meditating with a full understanding of what I am doing.

AnonymousGuestHi All , i’ve been a silent partner for while , thought i’d say hi ..
I’m just coming to the end of month 11 , the whole thing has been great , love the pace of it ..i’ve read all Bruce’s stuff but the practicality of the monthly sessions help make it real practice , and not just intellectual …
I meditate pretty much daily , but i also do a tibetan buddhist chenrezig practice which involves some sitting , no counting , no anything … I’ve found it useful to alternate the two , the practical side of the TMC with the ritual practice of Chenrezig …More than ‘progress’ i just feel i have better quality of life ..
I’d love the circle to continue as it’s been so helpful , motivating and inspiring .

AnonymousGuestI am kind of a still observer too. I am on month 14, not because I can do everything that came up so far, but because I kept going nonetheless. I would also be in for a continuation of the circle past months 15 and 16.

AnonymousGuestWow! That’s what I wanted to hear! Although I have to remember I still have 6 months to go before I finish this one.
And if you think I’m meditating with a full understanding of what I’m doing, all I can say is…Hahahahaha!!

AnonymousGuestIt’s great to hear your input, Christopher. I do some Tibetan practices, too. I’ve also done a fair amount of Shamatha (Calm Abiding) meditations, and the utter simplicity of just staying aware and present is something I find helpful as a compliment to the rewarding, but difficult Taoist practices.
I think what you said about progress is just awesome. That’s really the best way to look at it, it’s so easy (for me, too) to get to caught up in trying to ‘make progress’.

AnonymousGuestFantastic news that the group will continue.

AnonymousGuestCatherine. I think this is what it must be. I’m becoming more aware of what is going on around me.

AnonymousGuestI just joined this program and before doing that I had a conversation with EA over the phone. They said they didn’t know at the time the future of this program, whether it is going to continue or not. No decision as of April 20th yet. I hope they will continue.

AnonymousGuestHi all,
I am beginning week to in month 1. It has always been difficult for me to meditate for some reason. It could be the anxiety that I have to deal with which I’m hoping will go away with this meditation and my new Qigong practice.
If anyone here has to deal with depression and anxiety, I’d love to hear from you to understand how these practices have or have not helped you.
