For the last four months, I have been neglecting this blog. I was somewhat unenthusiastic about life in general. During the last two weeks, I had to teach a class of 16 middle school students and the kids kicked me back into gear! Thank you kids!!
The class was "Lego Mindstorms Robotics" as part of College for Kids at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. See the following link for a robot designed by the kids:

I think that you can see why I am out of my funk now :)
Go and do something different and all of sudden you'll find that life has possibilities!

Attended a presentation
At St. Luke's, I attended a presentation called "Boost Your Brain" by Michelle Braun, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist. She presented a list of Brain Boosting Tips. I will list them here soon.

This radio interview is a neat summary of findings that have been available to us now for more than five years.

Inner Guide
The concept of visiting an inner guide or guides exists in the Silva Method. It is also there in a meditation exercise written by Shakti Gawain.
Yesterday, I did a meditation practice with a group of about 10 people at WPSC. I played Dr. Andrew Weil's CD for Optimum Health, the first two to show the importance of breathing, then read one about Inner Sanctuary from Shakti Gawain. Then I played Dr. Andrew Weil's readings on Self-love and Loving kindnesss. I ended by reading one from Shakti Gawain on meeting your Inner Guide.
Our inner wisdom tends to hide from us. Why? It is obfuscated by the pressures of daily living. It is under the surface of daily consciousness and we usually don't make time to turn to it for advice. Meditation makes us turn to our own inner wisdom and makes us take stock of our problems in an objective manner.
There is a deep sense of self assurance that emerges from meditation. I have begun a journey to find my inner guide so that I can reach inside myself to find solace whenever I need it.
My inner guide can take different forms and feel different each time. I am not going to constrain myself to a form or feel or sound.
