Nice brother. Have you maintained your practice?

What a beautiful testimonial from a thoughtful, sensitive young man.

Be-you-till-full! Thanks for sharing.

You are a cool kid...also, I just started meditation and found out I have so much trouble losing weight and sleeping at night because of my adrenal glands releasing too much adrenaline all day and it's caused me to store fat like crazy and be constantly in fight or flight mode. I've noticed myself losing weight just with meditation. Im going to try the cold showers too even though I'm chicken. And be conscious of trying to stay calm!

So ur saying mediation increase growth hormone and muscle mass?

WOW

Enjoyed your insights on meditation, wish I was half as wise at your age, or even now for that matter. I've done a few retreats with Reggie, and I hope you get to practice with him in person as well, sounds like you really connected with what he's teaching. Best of luck with your journey.

:+)

I really liked that idea the mind and brain are separate things as well!!! It's really strange to think that our mind really doesn't even exist- physically. Great ideas Elea! -Sarah

I love the movie and Toshindo as well. It's cool that you have really gotten into those things, along with the archery. It's a movie that has such a cool concept and is really interesting. Nice video! -Elea

I like writing in my journal as well because I think about stuff that I didn't before. The Toshindo is so cool, and it's cool to hear how your viewpoints about it changed so quickly. Trying to apply yourself is hard, but I'm working on it too!! Nice video!! -Elea

I've tried to take the stuff we are learning and apply them to my life as well. You seem to really reflect and get things out of everything we do. The movie has a lot of impact on you. I can tell you take a lot of the information in it and try to apply it to your life. Nice video!! -Elea

Taking out the trash is really important for me too. I feel like I'm really trying to live in the moment and so are you. It seems like you really are enjoying everything we do, and you see the deeper meaning in everything! Nice Video!! -Elea

I liked your video because you seemed really honest. I felt like you really know what you are getting out of this immersion. I think you put into words what so many of us can't. All of your ideas are really good!!! -Elea

I agree that reflecting on our experiences really helps us get more out of our experiences. It's cool that you already knew some martial arts, but you tried to really get into this new version of martial arts. I really like the different techniques as well, and how people are earth, water, wind, or fire. Good job! -Elea

I really like the discussions we have as well. I've learned so much stuff already that seem so simple but I've never even though of. I love the passage you read, and I take a lot of the stuff from the book to heart. Nice video!! -Elea

I also haven't done a lot of the stuff we've been doing, and I really didn't know what to expect. It's been really different than anything I could've ever imagined. It's cool that you really like archery since it's something new! Good ideas!! -Elea

I agree that Peaceful warrior involves enlightenment of the mind and body. I like the Toshindo too, because it really brings the mind and brain together like you said. Focusing on the moment is what I'm working on as well...taking out the trash. Nice video!! -Elea

The comment below is from Elea

I didn't know what to expect either, and i am also glad I didn't because my experience has been awesome so far. I've been really trying to clear my mind and focus on the moment, and it's really helped. Good ideas!!

I also have a lot of thoughts during meditation, and although we are supposed to be clearing our minds, I like having the opportunity to just sit. I am also trying to just think about whats really going on in life, and not thinking about whats going on in my mind. Good job! -Elea

I've been doing the same thing during basketball and it really helped! I love the toshindo too because it's fun and I feel like I'm getting stuff out of it. Taking out the Trash is what I'm focusing on as well! I can't wait for whats to come too!! Nice video! -Elea

I feel the same way about meditation. I really hated it the first time, and the second time as well, but I also felt a little better the third time. I am trying to have a direct experience too, and it is really hard to find myself, and get out of my own head. It seems like we have had a pretty similar experience so far. Good video!! -Elea

I agree! Going into this immersion I enjoyed hearing about what we were going to be doing but I didn't know exactly what to expect. I feel like we had to just do the stuff to figure out what we are getting out of it. We have gotten really deep, but I like that about this immersion! Glad you've been able to already change, I know I am changing as well! Nice video! -Elea

I feel almost the exact same way nick! Ive been thinking about all these samethings, so its really cool to hear you going through similar stuff than me! Sometimes I forget you can be deep just because of how our relationship is so its kinda cool! Nicely done! - Matt

Adam, this video was really well done!! It felt so real and that you really thought and cared about what you were saying! There were a lot of points I thought about saying but didnt know how to phrase it, but you said it perfectly! Great job Adam! - Matt

I sort of felt that way coming into this immersion too. Good ideas, they are very true, I also agree with the meditation- it is very hard to quiet the mind. -Sarah

I agree that this Immersion can be described as the enlightenment of the mind and body. However, I think that to reach "enlightenment", it may take more than this immersion to get us there. I think that to some extent, it is perhaps "awakening us" to the truths that we can learn through these experiences. Good ideas!!!!! -Sarah
