Hello friends, hope everyone is doing well and okay during these times. I felt like sharing here because I miss Ayp and the people in it. I’ve been through quite a trip during the last ten years from ayp to sufism and advaita and to being in a gurdjieff group for the last six years… A lot of milestones and ups and downs which are part of the way and all is pleasurable in it’s own sense. Dark or white it’s okay. Yet recently as if my nervous system or my mind called me back to meditate again. And I undertook the I AM mantra again and I am sitting twice daily as instructed in the main lessons. No other advanced practice. There is joy in the practice itself.
Much love to all
Ananda

Hello Ananda, I saw a post from you on 2008 where you had some nice experiences after practicing for 6 months Raja yoga techniques. I have been doing a intensive practice of meditation and pranayama for a few years. Can you tell me how many hours your practiced on those 6 months and if it was basically the Nadi Shodhana (holding breath and alternating nostrils) ?
Regards

Hi Ananda,lovely to see you here again.
Funny enough I too have decided to return to mantra meditation after some absence( see my post ).
Anyway I wish you all the best and will enjoy reading any posts you make.
Love

Hello, honestly I can't remember. I didn't sit for hours though.. It was daily and repetitive is all I remember. May we all find peace :pray:

What does it actually mean to be in a Gurdjieff group?
