Om Yogi Madhvacharya Namaha

Practice and meditation are going well. My son has been visiting friends and family out of state so I’ve had tons of alone time and have been able to meditate basically anytime I want without anticipating any possible distractions.

Other than my responsibilities at the church where I teach and also manage a quiet bookstore a few days a week, I have basically no social associations and right now only two people ever enter my home and that is rarely at this point. Decreasing the amount of interaction has helped meditation since so few new impressions are being made. I deleted myself from facebook recently. I’ve taken advantage of this alone time and spent many hours in solitude working toward isolating the core self and staying attached to naad sound.  When not meditating Im either working on a book or walking my dog...or sleeping.

I continue to teach 5 group classes a week and 1 private class, giving a lesson at the end of each from one of Michael’s books or something from the site. Steady feedback from regular students, suggests this makes a positive difference in their understanding of the point of practicing yoga and on their daily mediation commitment.

Great dedication. I like your Tapasya and efforts at isolation from the social conundrums, that's the way to go, otherwise we are toast. I shun Facebook with a vengeance and similar other. The concentration must be on the Spirit and yoga, this is Brahma Abhyasa.

Thank you for the kind words Marcia~I wish the same for you.

Thanks Alfredoji...there's too many reasons to even list for not being involved in that kind of social media, (like zuckerberg is definitely not my cup of tea) but most of all, like you said, concentration must be on the Spirit and yoga.

Jai Shri Radhe~
