It was a very concrete experience and it pulled me out of a bad place. You guys know what you are doing when you move energy, lucky for me. : )

I feel much more able to fully experience this day.

I also have a book to recommend: "The Wisdom of No Escape and the Path of Loving Kindness", by Pema Chodron.

It is a highly useful compendium of short talks that provide concrete and specific instructions about how to grow up and become a more powerful and mature human being. A big plus: it's very easy to understand and it "translates" useful concepts from Tibetan thought into terms and examples that are completely accessible to modern westerners.

It's a quick read, too, although like the Tao te Ching, it's a book one re-reads many times, in whole and in part.

Yes, you're absolutely right---she is a very well-known teacher, a Buddhist nun who runs a monastery in Nova Scotia. Her excellent reputation is extremely well deserved, and her specialty is a topic dear to my heart: specific techniques to help people grow and expand beyond their current level of maturity and understanding.

Oh yes, I love her. I have a couple of her books, and they are wonderful...
