Hi guys!

It's been so long since I posted, I'm not sure how many of you will even remember me ;-)

I think all in all I haven't been committed enough to this practice to really make it worth my while. College life is very unlike normal life, and privacy was a very real issue from time to time in trying to set up an effective practice routine. Now that I'm on summer vacation, I'll have all the privacy I need until mid-August, so.. it's the perfect time to revive the KSMO!

I'll give you a brief account on where I stand with KSMO at the moment. I've had some slow but encouraging signs over the last year or so (since I first bought JJ's materials), to where I've experienced at least a light FBO a handful of times but not consistently. The sensations in the FBO's have been mostly tingling that I've been feeling since the beginning, bouncing throughout my body and gaining energy as they do so. I usually get these on an off day while I'm relaxing-I've only had one FBO during actual practice.

The echoes I experience regularly (but not in FBO yet) include more aching feelings (not in a bad way), fluttering pulses (does that make sense??), and a feeling of pressure kind of inside my stomach. Today while relaxing I felt a fluttering feeling in my chest and stomach area (prelude to heartgasms??), and afterward I was extremely relaxed and a feeling of emotional stimulation followed me for several hours. It felt peaceful and emotionally stimulated, the way I'd imagine the beginnings of an "emotional orgasm" to feel like. I'm taking this as an exciting preview of what could be in store down the road.

These experiences are interesting and I like them very much, but I can't help thinking my progress is abnormally slow. Today I practiced the KS some more, and I confirmed what I already knew: Most of the time, but not all of the time, I am doing the KS incorrectly. Sometimes it feels really resonant and I know it's a good one, but many times I just can't seem to get anything good to happen at all in that department. I reviewed Jack's seminar and it stressed (ironic word choice :-p ) keeping the throat completely relaxed, and then I noticed I was trying to make the KS out of my throat most of the time! And to make matters worse, I can't seem to figure out how to move the sound down into the chest for the life of me! :-P Obviously I am doing it right enough, enough of the time to get echoes, but this is clearly a problem area.

I think this has a lot to do with my slow progress, and my first order of business in following with a new commitment involves listening to the KS samples, experimenting, reading in the forum, etc. to get this KS skill ironed out ASAP.
