Another story from the Higher Balance Mt. Hood retreat. Thursday night our instructor held class in downtown Portland. The schedule had been thrown off that day so we didn’t meet up until around 8:15 pm in front of the Portland Art Museum. Our instructor explained a bit about remote viewing and then told us we [...]

August 23, 2007.  Last week I was at a Higher Balance retreat at a cabin near Mt. Hood. During the third day, the morning after our first class, the five of us attending decided to meditate as a group. We didn’t even know the rule of thumb then about alternating male/female, so Tom and I [...]

Today I had an interesting experience at the end of a really great meditation. Most days at work, I close the door to my office and meditate during lunchtime. This usually works really well and it makes me refreshed and a better employee in the afternoon. And since I don’t get that many visitors to [...]

At the January 2007 Higher Balance retreat in Kalani Hawaii, I had some remarkable experiences. And after getting home and reflecting on the things that I had experienced, I realized that I had added meaning to words that spiritual teachers use, but I did not fully understand. I did not yet have the experiences behind [...]

It wasn’t yet fall, but summer was over. I was walking on a footpath near the river. The sun was low in the evening sky, cutting a swath across the river. The sunlight glinted off the leaves of the trees. The leaves had not yet started to change color, but the feeling in the air [...]

One day I was walking near my house with my dogs. The sun was shining, but it was not hot. I could feel a breeze on my skin. It felt like relaxing caress. I had no particular thoughts; I was just listening to the sound of my footfalls as I walked down a slight hill. [...]

Two years ago, my wife and I used to hear crying babies several nights a week for most of the spring and summer after we started working with Higher Balance. We thought of several possibilities but nothing ever fit exactly right. Eric Pepin teaches us to come up with three possible explanations before trying to [...]

Last weekend, my brother and I took four teenage girls rock climbing and rappelling. A great way to build someone’s confidence, as long as it is safe and there is no pressure. After a few hours of climbing, to cool down we took turns jumping off a rock ledge into the river. The ledge is [...]

I have been working on awareness of my own automation. I was working on being more aware of the I’s that I slip into at work. I’s that I need to do my job. But it would be nice if I had more control of my use of these I’s instead of them just taking [...]

Last night my wife and I sat down to meditate around 7 PM after we put our daughter to bed. Our dogs hadn’t settled down, but we started anyway. The dogs were play fighting in the middle of the living room floor. I have been using music from moontribe to meditate so it’s not guided [...]
