My charnel grounds arise mainly from early childhood experiences of isolation and non-acceptance, repeated throughout my adult life in similar situations. Luckily there was enough good karma to hear my broken record playing even in my own reactions of judging myself as less than and unlovable, even when complete and loved. These judgments can then at times flow in criticism of others. I am so thankful to feed these gods and demons of mine to release myself and all others from responsibility for my feelings and to walk these latter years of life in union with all aspects of self and others, hopefully gracefully and with much gratitude.

Practicing Subtle Body Training with Khandro-La has really deepened by practice and my journey through life by opening the subtle body experience and its relationship to the Dharma. I can use the exercises away from class to deepen my Dharma practice and to rest when emotional obscurations arise or when too excited by conceptual concepts.
