Hi,
My name is Brett.
Born: April 3rd 1973

I run a few websites all mostly hobby sites for passing the time and keeping my mind thinking and processing my thoughts.

When I was 8 years old my Grandmother was sick still not sure what she died from, it was either diabetes or cancer as she had both and refused treatment, her choice. I remember being truly a brat of a kid chased around with the wooden spoon and one day I didn't get to the door quick enough, I was caught, trapped but as the spoon hit my bum it broke, with both of us laughing, but at the same time being the sweetest kid on earth , being the first born grandson, I was spoilt rotten and got nearly everything I wanted, but what I remember the most is sitting there just after my 9th birthday next to her bed, reading my book from school to her, next thing I remember she was in hospital, dad had bought new car and we went to visit her in hospital and was telling her all about it, but could not remember the colour of the pin stripe on it which for some reason I regret not remembering, 3 days later she was gone. Still have deep connection with my grandmother and love her for she taught me.

That is when the numbness set in, I was only nine then, but looking back that is when life stopped for me, it was only the processes I was going through, the daydreamer state is still with me today and I am still working through this now, while writing this I have realized that this is deeper and more emotional than I had thought. (more on this later)

The first time I meditated was when I was 19 did not have a clue what I was doing, I could not sleep, I started control my breath as well as concentrating on my body, it was amazing, though I could not sleep, the next night I did the same but this time it scared the crap out of me, I felt all fuzzy like goo and then I fell to sleep, the vivid dream of being out of body got me thinking, was I out of my body? or was it just a dream.

Then about 2 years later I got a reading of a person named Sandy, who was recommended by my sisters friend, and a Hathors came into the room during the reading, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder, it was 2 weeks after this that I started to look for the Hathors online, which there really wasn't that much around, found a few theory sites, then I found Tom Kenyon, sound healer, as well as his messages from the Hathors, The sound healing music altered my life, healing in a way that is unexplainable.

I truly got into meditation after I had a tarot reading, just a little experimentation with breathing, then from going to groups and practising through reading book's following guided meditations, listening to spiritual talks and experimenting with sounds. I went through a stage of meditating everyday, still do in some form, but not as often as I should. going to meditation groups and healing myself.

The day I had my first Paledian Full Sensory Perception Healing, this was only 4 weeks prior to starting this website, I got away from the worst negatvity in my life, a full time job and became a happy person, still had lots of healing to do, at this stage I was hating my job, guess what I changed jobs exactly 2 weeks after this. ( now that job is getting to me ) The path is about to change again.

In January 2007 I moved to a town called Ballarat in Victoria Australia, due to a visualisation, what most call a psychic experience and a extremly vivid dream.

Went throu a tough time around the end of November 2007, car was stolen, crashed and the insurance compnay was the most imcompetant company I had ever come across, at the time they had advertisment's that said they were the most effeicent company, anyway 3 months and lots of exercse later, I got my car back, rego and insurance due and excess all in a space of 3 weeks.

Febuary 2008, Quit Cigerettes, 2 weeks later had appendicitis got my self rushed to hospital, got two weeks off work, either though it was a struggle to move around the first week, but got better.

Went through the cigerttes anger depression, withdrwals which is when I got into changeing thoughts and emotions to suit me and my situation, Once I got the hang of this I took 2 weeks off work to recharge, now I can start moving forward, other than on the 6/10/08 My little Tarsha (kitten) had a littler of kittens.

I think I can handle anything now, and am learning and growing everyday. 2years 6 months with out a cigarette. :

Have you written about yourself yet?

My name is Don. I live in Brisbane Australia.
I am single , healthy and I have a fairly vibrant personality when I am with people I am into.
I work at a major dangerous goods facility where amongst other duties I am a OH@S committee member and a fire Marshal. The job is interesting as there is a lot of training and a lot of attention to detail as all aspects of the operation on this site is governed by legislation. I have just started writing poetry as I feel it is important to put my moments in time on paper. I like bush walking and surfing and I suppose I am looking for a soul mate who together we can explore the cosmic universe
I realized that I was spiritually inclined about 8 yrs ago and after a little bit of coaxing I became aware of who I am and how I felt about things that were happening around me. I love meditating and discovering things about myself. I refer to this as the journey within. Since I started this journey I have gotten onto my life’s path several times only to get off when it accelerated too fast for me to cope with. The change that is. But I always took in the lessons that the journey has taken me and those lessons have become the corner stone of who I am today. And today I am not complete but I am a completely different person living and listening to my soul. The best part ,I feel, is me letting go of my ego and accepting that I am different from most other people . In the mind and soul that is. The journey has not always been easy because I have realized that I have been living a good part of my life as a lie trying to conform with everybody else’s beliefs.
I like everyone else have regrets and one of them was not being aware that my father was still alive and not going to meet him when he was alive. I also regret that I was not aware of his passing so I did not attend his funeral . I have attended several guided meditations and on one occasion I was taken to heaven where I met and thanked my father. On the way home that day as I was accelerating my car to join the traffic on the freeway I had to look over my right shoulder to check my blind spot and right next to me not 8ft away was a coffin in a hearse. The moment was not lost to me and as I pulled away from the procession I looked back and felt that I was part of it. So I can confidently say that when I am open and on the right path my Spirit Guides tend to my needs.
Anyway I could go on but I’ve said enough today.

Thank you for sharing, a touching story, its beautiful how life deals with things if we don't follow our path we get lead to it eventually.

Thank you again.

Hello ~ I found my way to 7 MEDITATIONS via Twitter. How amazing the way people connect and find each other today.

I am just learning my way around this chat site and haven't figured out how to register yet. Nevertheless, I will tell a little about myself.

As a professional homeopath using the sensation method, I am able to listen and get in touch with core soul essences to help people release the limitations and past history that defines them, so they can move forward with all their potential.

Meditation and the many other energy modalities have become part of my practice. Breath work, relaxation, guided imagery all play a role.

We are all constantly working through challenges in life. Even when we finish one and think, "well, that's it - I made it!" something else comes along. That's how G-d moves us through this journey in life to reach higher and higher. To connect with G-d.

Peace to all in 2009

hello. im jeramel from Cebu City, Philippines from Philippines. Hope I can find more friends here. Id always practice meditation, it resolves your self problem.

Welcome to 7 Meditations Jeramel.

hi my name is alan, im a 26year old student, studying for my CompTIA A+ pc hardware and software, Networking+, and Cisco certifications.

i have always felt that there is something profound about us as beings and wasn't till last year that i thought about meditation and what it could possibly do for me....even more so now than before. a little personal stuff - i grew up in care, moved from home to home various, but not over the top times. had a rough childhood and i think as a result of various things, i lost who i was, my motivation or what ever it is that makes you feel almost empty or having no purpose. anyway i want to rediscover who i am and where i should be and i think meditation will be great for me, my mind, my soul, and everyone else.

i havent ever had any classes , however, i have been looking at another site that has free meditation classes, so when i have kind of decided what i want to do for my sacred place or where i want it to be i will start. ( i have alot of free time, so what ever i decide will be fairly quick - with careful consideration).

i hope i get to know lots of people and get a better understanding of buddhism and meditation. but i geuss most of all a better knowledge of who me is and where i belong in the world.

thanks for listening.

Hi Everybody,
My name is Wiktor. I'm 25 YO and I practice qi gong & meditation. I hope that I can share my knowledge with you and get some answers too.

Hey Al. I know your post is a year old but since I'm new to this forum I thought I'd respond to your thoughtful post here. I teach and practice a type of meditation called Heart Rhythm Meditation. I teach people how to meditate on my site and offer eCourses, some free, that might be really helpful and interesting to you. Your observation about losing your sense of purpose is very telling and this is something that happens to all of us to some degree in the process of experiencing life. In heart meditation we strive to focus on our hearts and radiate the energy of our hearts into the space around us. As we continue to meditate on the heart one of the things that happens is we begin to get a clearer sense of our purpose in life. This purpose has been with us our whole lives and just gets covered up over time. By focusing on our hearts we connect with the purpose that is in our heart and we expand ourselves and grow to know that purpose.
