    Thanks alan. I would be curious to see the impact of meditation on the group... individually if folks are comfortable to comment.
    For my part, after tuesday's meditation i felt well + balanced+energized. This interested me for my mind was all over the map as it were during the half hour.
    It has been my observation that when I meditate well( if I can put it that way) that is to say with good intent, that affect is not always what I might have anticipated.
    Has anyone else experienced this as well?

      I would like to share my experience with the first session. I have been trying to meditate for aabout 20 years with no luck. I would always get distracted by the kids/dogs, run out of "my time" because there were things to be done etc... The session with Alan was great. I actually could focus and bring my mind back. It was amazing. My skin was tingling like I had just went for a brisk walk in the cold. I felt I had come along way in just that 30 minuets.
      Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday.

    Namaste... First, If I may, I'd like to thank the group for this venue and permitting me to attend... I come by way of invitation from my friend, Tom, and I hope to attend on a regular basis.

    So next I ask...was it a fortunate coincidence? or perhaps, serendipity? ...or, had we all agreed in some past life to meet on Tuesdays and ponder our existence, through our collective experience in meditation? ( I would surmise that the answers would be as varied as those in attendance )

    I say this, of course, with tongue firmly in cheek, although my "beliefs" do hold to the notion that none of this is "by chance". I won't take up much more of your time with this "blah, blah, blah" of mine, save to say that my meditation practice of the last 15 years has followed the Vedic tradition of my spiritual teacher - Dr. Baskaran Pillai (aka Dattatriya Siva Baba)(http://www.pillaicenter.com http://www.astroved.com)

    Thanks to Dr. McAllister for facilitating this group and publishing this blog. Time permitting, and provided I have something worthwhile to say that may be of benefit to the group as a whole, I would like to contribute to this blog.

    Looking forward to the next session.
    Peace, Shanti, Om
