Jeffrey, I would be honored and pleased to be a teacher or in some way help progress the GWV. What you just said, I can't adequately express the deep sense of fulfillment and motivation I feel. I cannot think of anything that would make me happier, nor anything better I can do for others. Except other forms of healing which you also mentioned
I am working diligently to cultivate kundalini again, and as often as possible (hopefully soon whenever I need to) so as to explore the extent of this ability to heal. So I look forward to the opportunity. Should I apply now?
Application accepted.
I would very much like to work together towards developing a jhana and healing program. For what it's worth, I'm also a certified Holistic Health Coach where I studied holistic health of many traditions, including recent evidence, and learning to counsel others. Can you paint me a slightly more detailed picture of what you might have in mind?
I believe that Michael and Karen Hawkins are interested in the same subject, so let us all start a dialog on it, and see where it goes.
Jason's recognition that deep meditation that leads to jhana can be effective for healing work, has reminded me that we have been bouncing around the idea here for a while. Back in 1974 I began joining the two, although I did not know the term 'jhana' at the time, but I was definitely having deep meditation then, and I used it for healing work. So, perhaps all of those who are interested in joining deep meditation practice with healing practice will engage in dialog on that subject here.
