Shanti and time travel
I realize that I don't write personal e-mails these days... I am sorry... I feel drained by NY. I will write more e-mails in the future. I feel that I have a hard time aclimatizing to NY life after not being here for 1,5 years. It may sound silly (it's already almost a year since I got back) but that's how it feels. I long more and more for nature... walks with dogs, green of trees and blue of sky. It seems that whatever this city has to offer, it is not what I would like. It probably has everything except nature, peace and quietness... I enjoyed the entertainment before (the theatres, movies, concerts, opera, etc.) but it seems that I got to the stage of life in which I would like quiteness most... but I don't want to complain - it's only realization of what it is that is making me feeling odd here and acknowleding it. But I do believe that everything is for a reason and that my place is here, no matter what it feels to me. The ways of the Universe put me here for now and that's where my lessons will be learned.
On recommendation of my classmate I met a few times with Shanti. She is of Indian descend, was born in Canada, spent 16 years in a monastery in Taiwan, and now lives partly in California (going to a chiropractic school) and in NY during her breaks from school. She has also the ability to dissipate negative energy and make one travel in time. The journeys I have made were fascinating. I always suspected that time was not linear, that it was more of a spiral, like the Nautilus, and different lives where happening simultaneously. It seems that if we travel in time and live through the experience we have not lived while living a particular lifetime, but live through this experience now, wiser with the wisdom obtained in the later lives, we can change the course of events in that lifetime and this lifetime. Have you ever felt that you had a certain problem and no matter what you did, however much you struggled and tried to attack the problem from different sides, the problem stayed unresolved and was like a thorn in your side? Travel in time can give you a clue as to what really is the problem in the problem. For that reason alone it's fascinating to do this type of energy healing/time travel. But it may be very tiring in the beginning because a lot of things come to the surface, mostly the negativites carried for centuries. After the first few sessions I felt very tired, dizzy, I had a fever, the top of my head felt very hot, I couldn't sleep, I had heart palpitations, felt huge chest opression, sweated profusely, I felt disoriented. According to Chinese medicine these are symptoms connected to Heat in the body (and Sun Si Miao would say they are connected to ghosts). Both Shanti and the students at our acupuncture clinic were telling me that in my case the symptoms mean that the "evil" heat is coming out. Thinking I am about to get a heart attack I went to our clinic on the day I felt really really bad and they checked my pulses and the tongue (the most important aspect of the Chinese diagnostic methods) and said my pulses and tongue were best they've seen in me, pulse was somewhat rapid but really really great and lively. I went home and palpitated and sweated more thinking they were all lunatics... sending me home in a pre-heart attack state... And on the fourth week I started sleeping again, 12 hours every night, feeling my senses to sharpen (not a good thing in NY - I smell the garbage more and hear the noise twice as much), getting more centered and memorizing stuff for school better and quicker. Getting on the spiritual path is hard work... and it is scarry in the beginning. I will try to stick to it and do my homework proscribed by Shanti. She is leaving to California next week and I will keep in touch with her through e-mail and report on what interesting things I notice in myself and the surroundings. I will stick to it for my own sake and for the sake of my future patients - if I am meant to do it, then maybe one day I can help people get rid of the negative energy the way Shanti does.
If you ever feel inclined to try travel in time you can try by concentrating on a certain chakra (just lie down, concentrate on a chakra, and follow whatever thought comes to your mind) - you may see glimpses into other lives.
So for now NY is my purgatory - a place which doesn't seem comfortable but in comfortable situations one is not inclined to look for growth, only in uncomfortable situation or an uncomfortable place one is forced to look for ways to deal with them and by doing that finding other dimensions. Then there is growth in misery but only if one looks for the growth - quitting looking brings stagnation and we already know stagnation is the worst possible thing...
