In the beginning, I think we all  try anything. There are lots of techniques out there now on the internet and they are all valid tools. The most important thing is the commitment and the regularity. Devotion helps. But nothing compares to a disciplined practice over time.

For awhile, I just told myself I was too busy. But then I decided to see what would happen if I really applied myself to it. You know, as they say in the recovery programs to: Walk the Talk. So, I committed myself to sitting for a Quiet Time for an hour a day. I only missed a few.

It was difficult at first, like keeping a two-year old in a time out!  So, I used a CD that ran for 61 minutes with soothing music called Liquid Mind. This really helped me to forget about time, and it slowed my thoughts down and prevented the normal patterns from operating, (jumping up for a commercial break). I also used some Kundalini Yoga practices for specific emotional log jams that my mind/body inevitably encountered. They were strict and uncomfortable positions but my body trained up to it and I grew to love them. They corrected and balanced me. Some of them I practiced for 31 days, some for 90. It didn't matter how long it took to sort myself out, I had the goal to really, really, honestly and truly be able to connect with the Father, no matter what it took.

I did this for three years. It was an incredible journey with myself and I built a relationship with God that is truly satisfying and real. Anyone can do it. It doesn't take an hour a day. There have been energy shifts in the circuits, uplifts in the consciousness  and they, the spirit helpers, have been granted access to open greater network communication with us, now. They want us to keep raising our levels of expectation, raising our frequencies, raising our ideas of what a spiritual being can be like and who we all can be together in the future.

Like riding a bike, once you know how, once you find your way home to your Source, you never forget. You can always get back there. Quick as thought. As Yogananda said in the 1920's when he brought yoga to America: Is it too much to ask to give a few minutes a day to Him who gives you everything?
