For those who practice forcefully, in a very intense way, the skill of yoga will be achieved very soon.

Om Yogi Madhvacharya Namah

For the last few days I have been in the country of Bulgaria. I came here with the commitment to do at least 2 practices daily.

The weather is propitious, cool and dry. Colder at 4 AM around 47 F.

The food here is very good, with flavors coming straight from the country side that mostly have been lost in the US.

Yesterday, my wife prepared one of the most powerful foods that I know of. It is a soup made from a herb/veggie that is not sold commercially. One goes to a type of farmer's markets where old grandmothers with a babushka sell it. It is like poison ivy that if it touches your skin, you get blisters, but then they thoroughly clean it, boil it, blend it, and make a green soup with crumbled white cheese and butter. The taste is similar to spinach, but a little bitter.

Today, during practice and meditation, the presence of the Mahashakti, the universal Mother was felt, mainly as Her manifestation of Maheshwari, with the infinite compassion.

Yesterday, during a long meditation I experienced an OBE. The subtle body rolled out to one side and floated to one side of the bed in the room I am staying. It was difficult to maintain a straight position, as the subtle body rolled onto itself and bounced like a rubbery cloud, when contacting the floor, the hands and arms went into it, as all sense of materiality was absent. I could barely see my physical body as the contour of the room was darkish and silhouetted by white light, but I could hear it very well snoring. This continued for a few minutes, and then the subtle body was pulled back into the physical form when I woke up.

This is the house where my wife grew up. I can easily picture her, a blond, blue-eyed girl, going up and down the stairs. It is from this feeling that the presence of Maheshwari was so strong today, that extreme compassion for the longings of all creatures was keenly felt.

nice OBE experience!

Keep shifting your focus to the subtle side.

It is the sure way for you to gain psychic perception.
