Thanks for your feedback.

I believe I did experience that blissful experience several times while at the retreat. I have tried on my own with some modest success. I have also been surprised several times with this experience happening spontaneously.

I have been trying to grow and explore so that I can access this state at will. One thing my experience has shown me is that if you try to actively reach it, you will not. You can (maybe should) express a desire (set as a goal) to reach this state then let the desire go.

I've was given the message that following SFQ was very important for me to achieve this goal. Thanks to SFQ practices, I can readily go into the emptiness (at least I thing that what I can do), when I can become strongly aware of my energetic self.

I can semi-regularly enter into to a sustained sense of calm loving and self-aware state. This is very nice and very useful for staying productive, supportive and loving in all my activities. Reading some peoples description of Bliss, I would relate it to this state. However, it is not the awesome whole body joy that I experienced and which I consider as Bliss.

I would be quite happy to oscillate between these two states. This doesn't negate experiencing other emotions. Definitely not, however the response to the emotions is wholely different from my old normal way of existing.

Currently I oscillated from the calm self-aware state and my old normal state. I have come to understand and value my emotions as hugely valuable messages from myself. They provide guidance. They are a whole experience and whole self expression of myself/my-direction/my-response/my-needs/my-feelings/my-values (sorry couldn't find the right words).


Getting back to your post. My experience at the retreat and for more than a month afterwards was an emotional rollercoaster. Which is completely NOT my normal, or I should say my old normal state.


So for now I'm exploring myself. I think that there are many paths to that inner state of love and acceptance. By exploring many paths I may understand the terrain and be better able to navigate it. Perhaps even help others find their way. Now that would be a nice side effect.


Thanks again.
You are perfection.
