Hello,

Thank you all for the nice responses. I am getting on well with yoga though am starting to think a class is not for me. I am finding people competitive there and a bit snobby (the teacher does not seem to be developing the side to yoga about connectedness and unity just the exercise bit) - it seems a bit ironic that people are competing at how supple they are and getting a little 'show offy' when the roots in yoga are so far removed from this. Though sometimes in spiritual circles there is a lot of competitivenss isn't there or bragging to be the most spiritual. Do you find? Not on this board though. It can be worst out of everywhere on the net!!

Yes ZenWind I have lurked here a while and did pop to say hello to you in a different thread, I think perhaps because you mentioned being buddhist as I am or perhaps because you mentioned something that stirred me to answer on the few days I am actually connected to the net. I am a bit more new to buddhism though than you - 3 years young but I have found my home in buddhism.

thanks again for replying.
all the best and peace to all
seeker

Hi Omseeker, great that you are into Yoga, Tai Chi etc. !! I have found that Tai Chi has helped me with my Reiki too, it really opens the energy channels. I have been fortunate that my Reiki Master also teaches me Tai Chi too! As Jade Wolf Says, I have taken a few souls through the prelims of Yang Short Form, which is the one most folk start off learning. very easy!! It so happens we are organising a Tai Chi and Therapy camp in Essex in June, which Jade wolf will be helping at!! If you feel drawn to that, let me know and I can let you have more details. It is a camping thing, very relaxed on part of our extended organic farm.

I have a fab freind who alas is in NZ at present, but she is a member of the Order of Western Buddhists. I have learned a lot from her and with the Reiki connection it is also some thing I like to relate to - the total feeling of trust and non- judgement of others is just so right. Welcome to the Garden, I am quite a newbie, I pop in and out when I get a mo, but all are great here and it is surprising what you learn!!! Om Mani Padme Hum, Namaste, Rowan Moon. xx
