joe..this is as i thought i need to do it...thank you for your confirmation... what a life it would be if i was to go join a zen buddhist.."monastery"...is that what they are called?... having taken the steps in youth to live life as you would say with responsibilities of family this is not an option for me now.. i sort of envy those buddhist monks and nuns..in their simple robes... shaven heads... they appear to be so contented and at ease... did you ever consider joining up full time joe in your journey in life?
i myself thought about it whence in youth... then you think you cannot shut yourself of from "everyday experiences" so to speak... if one practises that is okay too and one a can still be in the "everyday" and through the "everyday" reflect the peace and harmony of patience love and compassion to all one meets in the journey of life..merle merle Merle, There's no answer to that. Over the weeks and months you will know how to get up slowly, not abruptly, maybe do some light exercises, and swing back into the active part of your day, like a car gradually accelerating. "Jack-rabbit" starts are the worst for the engine and transmission! Not good for tire-life, either. Easy; easy. ;-) I think anyway that nothing about the head should feel special; but a good calm feeling suffusing the entire body I think is normal, and is good for health.
