How do I find out the Karmic lesson I'm supposed to be learning here?

Whatever crosses you bear are Karmic lessons you are  working on and thus learning from. If you do so willingly with a loving, heart with patience, and tolerance, without prejudice or preference, without animosity, hate, or greed then you will succeed and your karmic debt per situation will be nil and void. What you are trying to master is to not create karma, which can only be done by learning what not to think or do and doing that. 'tis complex to be sure. My favorite book explains it better, "Thinking and Destiny," by Harold W. Percival. I wonder if you're a master already and are but testing us neophytes?

Meditation and Deep relaxation for starters. Ask questions however dont expect answers.\n\nAllow the universe to give you the answers. Take note of things, people conversations, signs, sounds, unexpected gifts and meetings of chance. All these 'signs' are from your guides (spirits). Once you see the sign, thank them. Dont think you are going crazy. They will guide you into making decisions and confirm your deepest doubts on issues, allowing you to finally trust your intuition.\n\nGod Bless

Try looking up Kundalini Yoga. It is Kaula Tantra....but because the west has equated to traditional tantra to what is now coined "neotantra" which is about sex, well many in the west changed the name to Kundalini Yoga to avoid confusion.\n\nTantra actually has little do with sex. A very basic teaching of Kaula Tantra (Kundalini Yoga) (and please bear in mind that there are actually three forms of traditional tantra) is to see the divine in all things. Thus, when you wake up in the morning and you go to take a shower. Try to imagine yourself washing God. When you comb your hair, try to view yourself combing the hair of God. When you brush your teeth, try viewing yourself brushing the teeth of God. When you get dressed, try imagining that you are dressing God. And so on. The next step after you have done this for a while is to often internalize this. To sit in meditation and imagine doing these things to the divine as well....although that comes later. \n\nMost start out very simply in tantra. You are given a mantra. You are told to perform a small puja (ritual worship) for the image of God you have chosen that you have placed on your altar. To use this time for prayers and worship. Then you are told to sit in meditation and to picture the deity in your mind...usually they tell you to imagine in your mind that the deity is where your heart is, but the most important thing is getting the visual. Then say your mantra. Focus your mind on the mantra and the image (if you cannot do both, focus on the mantra only and work up to doing both). Do this for as long as you can....how long you meditate is not what's important, it's the quality of the meditation. As you meditate you will be able to sit longer. Keep a meditation journal.\n\nIf you need a tantra guru, I can recommend Br. William of Ashram West. He wrote a book called "Gay Tantra". He primarily provides service for gay and lesbians, but he, like many other traditional tantra gurus, is very good. You can find others, too, if you look. That is why I often recommend looking under kundalini yoga rather than just tantra. Br. William's website is www.gaytantra.org and I know there are many many gurus in the west that teach traditional tantra, but under the name kundalini yoga...a few may go by tantra, but will specify the type of tantra. The beginners tantra is kaula tantra. The other three types of traditional tantra are actually what you work up to and your guru should know all three.\n\nOther than Tantra, there are other practices that are traditional Hindu practices such as Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, etc. The first four are mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita. Bhakti is the path of devotion. Karma is the path of action. Jnana is the path of the intellect. Raja is the path of breath. Hatha is the physical path. Ashtanga is a combination type path. A good book on this is "Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita" by Ram Dass.\n\nIf you are interested in learning more about Hinduism, I highly recommend "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hinduism". It may sound odd, but this is a very well written book. It covers a lot of areas and explains things in terms you can understand and gives great examples. It also covers the subject of the Yogas and of Tantra very well. You can also look on Amazon.com for books on Tantra that teach traditional tantra and not neo-tantra. Go to the Hinduism section for the books on traditional tantra.

I don't know where you can get the story, but it may be affliated with Reiki.  A Reiki practitioner once brought me through it.  It's a form of visual imagery.

The best lesson we can learn is the immutable law most aptly set down by George Santayana:  "Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it."\nEspecially those who quack out the same old tired slogans about how religion can solve all of our problems...

Read it outloud in a mirror for a while, while recording yourself. Practice outloud to your friends and other things. Then at night play the recordings over and over while you sleep. It's a good way to learn anything. Good Luck! ;]

This is going to sound mean, but it sounds like you're missing lessons a fair bit. Try and attend them then you will get the benefit of hands on experience and the teacher's guidance.\nIf there is a very good reason why you missed one, talk to him and he might be willing to help.

It may seem to go in one ear and fly out the other, but observe how you learn a little closer. You will find that you learn very slowly, perhaps, but once you "get" something, it's in there forever. So the way you are actually learning new skills and techniques is very important, and you are already on the right track. Do not rush. Because you learn very slowly and meticulously, take your time and get all the details and spend a lot of time with those details until you master them. There is absolutely no need to rush. When you rush, you gloss over the important stuff, (like the centering presence of gravity) and it simply does not sink in. When you get involved and go slower, the material you wish to master will go much deeper into your consciousness until it all becomes part of your instincts, and from your instincts you will manifest a knowledge which will surpass book or surface knowledge, and it will even surpass the instruction of your teacher, because you are you and not him. Let your mind become very quiet inside and you yourself become very deliberate when someone is showing you something new. Do not be concerned at all whether the learning is happening or not, just give the new lessons your absolute and undivided attention. Concentrate on active listening, and just do your best to stay focused on what is being shown to you. Stay very alert. Very soon you will look back and begin to notice you have absorbed far more than you thought you did. When I was studying how to drive a car I felt I was hopeless, and then I later found myself quoting the instruction manual almost verbatim. I was noticing things like proper lane usage, distances to follow based upon the speed traveled, and a million other little things I never thought I had learned. The bottom line is to get focused on being quiet inside when something new is being shown to you and do not create an attitude about your learning processes which will only slow down the whole thing even further. Become ALL EARS AND EYES and you will become like a sponge and begin to absorb everything you are shown. You will also begin to get a little bolder and start to demand of your teacher to reinforce the parts you do not understand. If he is any good at all you will find he has infinite patience to stop the world and show you even how to balance on the front of one foot for ten minutes. Feel the strength in your legs. Walk in the woods often to strength ALL the muscles in your legs for keener balance. Close your eyes and stand on one foot and do not hold your breath. Now, do you see how quickly you are learning? Well, it is because of how quiet you have become with me while we were chatting... sent to you with good energies from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.  (I am 63 years old and when I studied classical ballet, my teacher was 81 years old. She was still doing triple beats in the air with perfect balance and strength and she easily tired me to the point of almost giving up. I will never forget the value she had to me. She is now in Spirit. She is no longer with me in this world. But she taught me one thing: you can sneak up on the greatest knowledge a little bit at a time until it opens its arms and embraces you. I wish you total success in everything you undertake and direct your attention upon, and do not be concerned about mastering your art. You will. It is not a question of if. It is a question of when.   - C.

~~ Ori ,,,, Keep looking and asking questions,,,, and reading. Go to a Metaphysical Bookstore  and scan The Titles. When you 'feel' like something resonates, then pick up the book and check it out. Then repeat the process. Talk to Old Dudes like me who have a wealth of knowledge and a full lifetime of experience. Look over a College Curriculum. "The answer is known to each who finds it."
