How intense the Intensives!

By: Athene Mantle

I was in the final last minute preparations for the training as well as receiving two house guests, Nancy Adams and Janet Oussaty. I then jumped into that TCC time warp with the two trainings in a row. Very intense! Oh so lovely—like a deliciously hot, hot bath. Ouch! But oh so good! Afterwards we continued with our own little intensive/immersion experience going to classes and practicing together. We’ve had some wonderful awarenesses and shifts in our practices. Ed really had us into the softness and flow of chi at the intensive. I had a very intense all pervading experience of seeing/feeling the chi at the feet of my seated circled classmates and then all throughout the room and then pervading me the most intensely to date. I wanted to burst out laughing (didn’t though) and at the same time I was crying, tears streaming down my face. It was one of the most special life moments yet. When we drove back from Santa Barbara, we stopped at the beach and Nancy and I laid in the sand only to feel a kind of internal vibrating reverberating feeling throughout our bodies. It was quite intense. We then both observed a sea of tiny almost star-like sparkles dancing before our eyes as we lay there. Wow-e-wow!
