Hi All

In the interest of staying on this board, I have decided to post
about my reasons for being here rather than my experiences just yet.
That is due to the fact that I am about 4 months into learning RV,
and 3 months into learning meditation.  Nothing terribly
groundbreaking has happened there yet.

I was introduced to RV by a friend and co-worker of mine, JimK of the
HRVG, which I am in the process of joining.  JimK has his teaching
certification through the HRVG, so I have had alot of one on one
training, which has progressed me up through S4.

The concept of RV is exciting to me.  I am not one to believe in
something unproveable, and I did not really until I tried it.  My
last 3 targets had good solid data within them, so I am now a
believer.

Basically, I am looking to learn some meditative practices to help my
clarity and consistency in RV.  That is my only goal there.  However,
I have found meditating to be extremely beneficial in so many ways
outside of that.  My life has been particularly stressful of late,
and the meditation helps keep me cool, and grounded.

My meditation method has pretty much been going through the Gateway
series of the Hemi-sync CDs from the Monroe institute.  I have them
on temporary loan.  I have had two noteable experiences with the
set.  The first, when I was introduced to focus 10, I lost all
feeling except for my lungs and mouth.  Mainly because that
experience made me hyperventilate, and grin a bit, as it was such a
new and odd feeling.

The first time I went into focus twelve, my vision clarity with my
eyes closed improved tremendously, but only for a few seconds.  I
could see things/people that I knew were not imagination, sort of a
free floating RV.  I think.  It seems that once I recognize a change
or shift in regular conciousness, it startles me and I back away from
it.  Time and experience should help that from happening, I would
assume.

The biggest thing though- righrt where the 6th shakra is, Om I
think?  Third eye or what have you, I always feel a tremendous
sensation there when listening to those hemi-sync CDs, and it tickles
when I look to blackboard.  I have always had that my whole life,
never really pursued or recognized it in that manner.  Part of my
pursuit here is to understand what that is.  I could usually
only "activate" it prior to falling asleep, maybe 4/5 times a year.
Now it is on almost always.  I look to blackboard and something feels
like it is charging up right there.  Forgive me if this is something
basic I should know more about, like I said, completely new guy...

I know, nothing amazing to share yet, but I am a new guy to this.  I
want to be kept on the list, and I will post anything that happens
that is noteable, especially anything session related.  Unfortunatly
that may be sporadic.  I am learning quite a bit from the more
experienced here, and I wish to keep doing so.  Its my own personal
agenda to figure out how this universe is put together, and learning
RV will contribute to that, while contibuting to the community as
well.  I hope.

Thanks for having me thus far PJ- and I will post far more exciting
experiences given time.

And thanks to all for letting me listn round the campfire here...
