For a while, I've been saying that my husband is my spiritual "homework". When I get it totally right with him, I know I've gotten to a great place. Today's Oprah/Deepak mediatation was especially challenging - to see my husband past all his self-destructive acts and bad behaviors towards me (the pain body in him is very strong); to see just the divine radiance. While I know how wonderful it will be, it's still hard to put into constant practice!
Found lots of Eckhart Tolle videos in You Tube and other places. Been listening a lot. He so compliments yogic teachings. In fact, it's continually amazing to me how spiritual teachings keep saying the same things over and over. We just don't seem to listen. Maybe now that our science, especially physics, is starting to "prove the reality" of what the spiritual teachings are saying, more of us will get on board.

It's Day 11 of the Oprah and Deepak 21-Day Meditation Challenge. As a lesson to myself in non-judgement, I am absolutely amazed at how powerful these sessions are, even though they are via the Internet. "Non-personal" and "commercial" so to speak but NO! Oprah gives a great intro and then Deepak begins his right-on-the-button words. I have lost track of the times I have cried both during his guiding words and during the meditation period itself. Although some sessions produce a stronger effect for me and some a weaker, the package deal is one big thumbs up! And it's for FREE!!!
